Text Chapter 30 The road meets Zuo Feng

Zhang Chao is learning Liu Bei to cry the country.

Liu Bei's country is really "crying". It's just that this "crying" is not "crying" in the general sense, but a "roundabout method" taken by Liu Bei to manage people's hearts and gather strength.

Today's Zhang Chao has many similarities with Liu Bei at the beginning, such as being nameless, low status, and weak strength. In order to unite contacts and achieve hegemony, we will inevitably crave the help and support of others from time to time. It's just a means.

Now that such a method has been used on Zhao Yun's body, it has really played a very good role.

Now Zhao Yun was said by Zhang Chao, and his heart suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and he felt that this lord was really affectionate and righteous. Just ask the world, which person in charge will take the initiative to admit his mistakes to the people below? With this one alone, it is enough for him to repay with a lifetime of retribution.

"Don't say that, don't worry, in the future, when the lord has a fame, there is no need to look at people's faces like this. When the time comes, the cloud will definitely be a pioneer and clear the obstacles for the great cause of the Lord. Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Chao was not allowed to give Cao Cao half of the treasure, and he believed that the lord must be reluctant, and he would do this, which is nothing more than his lack of strength. He swore that he would do his best to assist Zhang Chao's great cause, at least something like this would not be allowed to happen in the future.

"Okay, Zilong's words, I believe, believe." Zhang Chao patted Zhao Yun's shoulder again and said very movingly.

Through this little thing, Zhao Yun became more loyal to Zhang Chao, and the relationship between the two monarchs seemed to be more harmonious.

"Report, a team of people was found in front, it seems to be officers and soldiers, and there is a soft sedan chair, please make a decision on the second son." A cavalryman in charge of the front row to inquire about the news returned and came to Zhang Chaozhi's side to speak.

It's an officer and an officer again, and it's a soft sedan chair, Zhang Chao said in his heart when he heard this, "Isn't there a big man here?" With this in mind, he said to his men, "Let's go and see, but remember not to disturb them." ”

Before he knew who the other party was, Zhang Chao was still very polite, and it was not a wise man to erect an enemy for no reason.

Zhao Yun led a hundred cavalry to follow Zhang Chao forward, and collided with the oncoming group.

It was a group of about 500 people, most of whom were dressed in the costumes of the imperial court.

As soon as Zhang Chao and the others appeared, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side became nervous, and all the swords and shields were erected, making a defensive formation. "Whoever comes, report the name."

It's no wonder that these officers and soldiers are so nervous, it's really that Zhang Chao and the others have no characteristics at all, except for him himself, who is dressed in white, everyone else is dressed in black and black pants, and it is getting late in the sky, at first glance, it is still very scary.

"I am Chen Liu, Zhang Chao, Zhang Zhiyuan, I don't know who it is." Zhang Chao waved his hand to let the cavalry stand still, and then loudly announced the names.

The sound is loud enough for the other person to hear clearly. After about a few breaths, a somewhat shrill voice came from the other party's soft sedan chair and said, "But Chen Liuzhang Chao, who just defeated the Yellow Turban Thief in Changshe?" ”

"Exactly." Hearing that the other party actually knew him, Zhang Chao was also a little surprised, but he still admitted it.

"Oh, it's a hero of the long society. Come on, open the car door, and at the same time ask Zhang Chao to come. Once again, a shrill sound came from the soft sedan car.

After that, someone in the other camp's camp stepped forward a few steps, and reminded Zhang Chao in a low voice while leading the horse, "Our master is Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng." ”

As soon as he heard the little yellow door, Zhang Chao immediately understood, it turned out that he had met a eunuch here.

Eunuchs, also known as eunuchs. It was an official in the ancient capital for the emperor, monarch and his family.

Eunuchs are also abnormal men, or non-real men. Don't look at their physical imperfection, because they are close to the imperial power, they do have a strong influence. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of eunuchs reached a peak.

The eunuch group during the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, known as the "Ten Standing Servants", was led by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

They played with the little emperor in the palm of their hands, so much so that Emperor Ling said, "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." Their fathers, brothers, and children are all over the world, rampant in the countryside, harming the people, and no official dares to manage them.

It was precisely because of the dark corruption of the eunuch clique that the situation of large-scale peasant uprisings was created. It can be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty will eventually fall to the end until its demise, which has an inseparable relationship with these eunuchs.

It's just that now, the Eastern Han Dynasty is still there, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is still in power, on the surface, it seems that the general trend of the country is still centralized in the central government, and the eunuchs are naturally very popular.

For example, the Zuo Feng in front of him, he is the person sent by the Ten Standing Servants to inspect the work in the army. The situation of the following battles, and the performance of generals and officials, often had to reach the ears of Emperor Ling of Han through them.

Therefore, don't look at it as just a eunuch, in fact, Zuo Feng's power is very great, as long as he is willing, what he confesses can be said to be black, and black can naturally be said to be white.

This time, the Yellow Turban thieves made a big disturbance, and the ten permanent servants did not think about sharing the emperor's worries, thinking that they were indeed taking the opportunity to collect money for themselves. Zuo Feng's trip was to ask for bribes on the pretext of investigating the military situation.

In fact, it was a well-known thing that the imperial court at that time openly sold officials to collect money. This time, Zuo Feng came down, and he didn't even need to say a word, and a clear-eyed person would know what he was doing.

The first place that Zuo Feng looked at was the land of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi, who has a resolute personality, did not bribe, and even if someone persuaded him to bribe Zuo Feng, he refused. In June, after Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin and said: "The minister sees that Guangzong County is easy to break, but Lu Zhi does not move, does he want to wait for God to kill Zhang Jiao?" Liu Hong was furious and issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from his post and escort him back to Luoyang in a prisoner car, where he was sentenced to life imprisonment (commutation of the death penalty of the first degree).

Although Huangfu Song later exonerated him and restored his position as Shangshu, it can also be seen that this Zuo Feng still has the ability of the entire eunuch group.

For such a person, Zhang Chao is unwilling to offend, and he will not offend, and even rely on the other party to seek greater benefits for himself.

As far as Zhang Chao himself is concerned, if the world is not in chaos, there is no other day. For this reason, he has no intention of preventing the change of history, what he needs is to develop quietly, and then watch everything happen, and finally find an opportunity to stand on his own and create his own territory and power.

For this reason, after hearing that the person he met was Zuo Feng, he had a plan in his heart. Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, he went to the side of the soft sedan chair and saw Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng is about thirty years old and less than forty years old, perhaps because of being castrated, the whole person looks like he has no energy.

"You are Zhang Chao." Zuo Feng looked at Zhang Chao with a pair of small eyes, and saw that he was really just a young man less than seventeen, so he believed in the identity of the person who came.

"Back to my lord, the grass people are Zhang Chao." He bowed his head and hugged his fists very respectfully and agreed.

Zhang Chao's performance made Zuo Feng happy in his heart, this person is willing to call himself an adult, which means that he still respects himself, he likes such a person.

"Well, I have already read the battle report on your performance, and I think that I will arrive in Luoyang in the near future, and the emperor will definitely praise you at that time, and you will also serve the country wholeheartedly in the future, do you know?" Zuo Feng put up a shelf, and said with a picture of educating future generations.

"Yes, my lord said yes. Being able to do our best for the country has always been a super wish. At the same time, I have also admired adults for a long time, and this time I can meet it, it is really God's arrangement, so I prepared some small gifts, and asked the adults to smile. Zhang Chao looked up at Zuo Feng as he spoke.

"Oh! What's that? Hearing that there were gifts to give, Zuo Feng couldn't help but be even more happy.

"Please move, sir." Zuo Feng revealed his greedy nature, and Zhang Chao was also happy, he was afraid that the other party would not accept gifts, as long as he was greedy, as long as there were shortcomings, then many things would be easy to do.

Zhang Chao led Zuo Feng to his cavalry camp, and then waved his hand to send all the treasures in half a cart.

Zuo Feng originally thought that he was just a brother who was too guarded, what good things could he have? I never thought that there were so many treasures, and my eyes were a little straight for a while, which was really an unexpected gain.

"My lord, these are the things I honor you. Half of them can be left for adults, and the other half can be sent to Father Zhang's hands, and everything will have to be done by Master Lao. Zhang Chao said with a smile, what he said about Father Zhang was naturally the first of the ten permanent servants called Father by Emperor Ling of Han. By the way, these things are not registered, and I don't know how many of them. Zhang Chao took a small step forward again and said into Zuo Feng's ear.

The meaning of this sentence is to tell Zuo Feng that you just need to pick and take the good things you like, and then send the rest to it. Anyway, it's not registered, so no one knows what it is.

"Hehe, Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao, you are good, very good." At this moment, Zuo Feng's eyes had already narrowed into a slit, so many treasures could be picked by himself, which was a great thing. He couldn't help but be right for the image of Zhang Chao in front of him.

The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, and the hand that takes people is soft. Even after receiving the benefits, Zuo Feng also had to express himself, so he coughed lightly and said: "Zhang Chao, you have made great contributions in the battle of Changshe this time, let's talk about it, what kind of reward do you want the emperor to give." ”

It is said that only the emperor himself can say such things, but now Zuo Feng really kicked him to say it, which has been suspected of overstepping. If it is in the heyday, someone will take a copy of ginseng, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat and walk around. However, in the current social background, no one really pursues these things.
