Zuo Feng was full of confidence when he said these words, which made Zhang Chao a little impressed. "So, Lord Zuo is still effective when he speaks to Emperor Han Xian?"

"It's nature." Speaking of this aspect, Zuo Feng had a confident face.

"Hehe, it seems that Lord Zuo is really powerful, left and right. It's just that I have just met the emperor, and he has already worshiped me as a general, and at the same time he has been appointed as a state pastor, so I don't think I need Lord Zuo to say anything good for me. Zhang Chao smiled on his face, it was also a big surprise for him to have this result, he thought it would be good to have a state pastor, but now it seems that Emperor Han Xian really wants to have imperial power, and this meeting may make Cao Cao angry like something.

"Ahh Zuo Feng see the general! After hearing that Zhang Chao actually had such a high position, Zuo Feng also knew that the person in front of him was no longer the little Taishou who needed to send money to himself in order to promote his official position, but was already a general who could tie up the country's soldiers and horses.

Zuo Feng actually began to pay homage, Zhang Chao hurriedly helped him up and said: "It's not like this, we have a personal relationship, no matter which one." ”

To say that Zhang Chao was still a person earlier, thinking that if it wasn't for Zuo Feng's help, I was afraid that his way out would be very far, so he sighed: "Lu Bu will not enter the other palace, now the emperor should be ready to move east, if you want to follow the emperor, it is extremely safe now." If you don't want to follow, you can also talk to me, I will arrange for you to leave, and then give you a sum of money to send you to a safe retirement place, which can be regarded as a good death for our fate, what do you think? ”

Zhang Chao can say this, it is his own heart. But I never thought that it really moved Zuo Feng and made him complete a big thing for him in the future, of course, this is all a later story, not to mention it for the time being.

Zuo Feng never thought that Zhang Chao would befriend him like this. In his eyes, it was an exchange of money and power, and now after hearing this, he is full of feelings.

If you want to say that in this life, Zuo Feng has also been brilliant, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, their eunuchs were extremely powerful, and the people they had seen did not know themselves. But when things are really difficult, where do you make any friends? Now that Zhang Chao can say this, he is indeed very moved.

At this time, Zhang Chao did not notice Zuo Feng's expression, but continued, "At the beginning, Zhang Rang's family was killed, so I arranged for someone to find your way out, but I couldn't find it, so I thought you were in danger." It is also a kind of fate to be able to meet again now, and say, whatever you want, I will fulfill you. ”

As soon as he said this, Zuo Feng was even more moved, has this person never forgotten himself? In this way, he did not live in vain, at least he made a sincere friend. In this way, he must also be worthy of this friendship, and immediately thought about it for a while and said: "General, even if you think about me so much, how can I only care about myself. In this way, I still stay by Emperor Xian's side, so that if there is anything I can say a few words for you, it can be regarded as fulfilling our friendship. ”

Seeing that Zuo Feng was serious, Zhang Chao knew that this person was still a little greedy for power, even if it was so, he let it go. Then he nodded his head and said to Dian Wei beside him: "Ziman, take some money, Lord Zuo stays by the emperor's side, it is impossible to use no money." ”

"No." Dian Wei agreed, and went to the quartermaster in charge of finances.

Hearing that Zhang Chao was still going to send money, Zuo Feng said with a look of shame: "General, you don't need me to speak for you now, why do you still want to send money to me?" ”

"These are two different things. This time I sent money to express my heart, because I couldn't rescue you from Luoyang in time. It has nothing to do with anything else, you just have to accept it with peace of mind. Zhang Chao replied very seriously.

The money was taken by Dian Wei, in order to facilitate carrying, all the gold was brought, and at first glance, a whole package was carried in his hand.

After taking this package, Zuo Feng was almost not taken down by it, and he knew that this was Zhang Chao's sincerity to him. Immediately, he also learned from the people in the rivers and lakes to hug his fists and said: "The general's grace today, our family remembers, but in the future, if there is a drive, we will definitely not live up to it." ”

Zuo Feng left with the gold like this, Zhang Chao looked at the background of his departure, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Little people also have the lives of little people, maybe for Zuo Feng, this is what he hopes to get." ”

"Report, Gunzhou Mu Cao Cao asked the general to prepare to leave Chang'an." A member of the Zhang family's army, who was in charge of delivering the news, walked not far away and knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Got it." Zhang Chao agreed, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, this Cao Cao's courage is really small, he is in such a hurry to travel overnight, he must be afraid of some accidents. Even so, leave yourself. Once Dong Zhuo knew that Lu Bu who had entered the city was just to snatch the horses, and that there were only more than 10,000 people coming from their three-way alliance, he was afraid that he would really kill them back, and there was no point in fighting fearlessly.

Entering the city at night and leaving at night, without disturbing too many people, Emperor Xian of Han left Chang'an City under the protection of Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

Zhang Chao walked at the end, and his statement to Cao Cao was to stay behind and break the queen, once Dong Zhuo chased after him, he would delay time.

Zhang Chao was so righteous that Cao Cao was very moved. He had been troubled about the palace, but fortunately, the strategist Xi Zhi explained his confusion: "Zhang Chao just got the name of a state pastor, and whether he can really lead there depends on his strength and means." As for the position of the general, it is just a false name, who will really drive it? However, it was Cao Gong, who was able to control the emperor this time, and he could serve the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so that he could really get a long-term foothold. ”

Xi Zhicai's persuasion made Cao Cao suddenly enlightened, and the hostility towards Zhang Chao in his heart was not so strong. Now I saw Zhang Chao volunteering to break off, and I was even more moved.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian left first, and Zhang Chao took five hundred Zhang family light cavalry to wait at the east gate of Chang'an City. There is no emperor by his side, and some are just cavalrymen who can come without a trace, so he will not be afraid of whether Dong Zhuo is really chasing after him.

But he will still guard the east gate, but he is just waiting for news from Lu Bu. I can't see them out of the city, and my heart is not relieved.

It was about dawn, and finally a rumbling voice began to come from under his feet, "It should be that Feng Xian has completed the task and came out." After Zhang Chao felt the tremor of the earth, he said with a happy face.

It was just a moment's work, and a large group of cavalry rushed out in front of the East City Gate, and the person at the head was Lu Bu, who was holding Fang Tian's halberd and riding a red rabbit horse.

Seeing from a distance that it was Zhang Chao who led the troops to stand at the gate of the city, Lu Bu hit his horse and went to the ground, half-kneeling and said: "Lord, I have grabbed five thousand Xiliangjian horses, and now I have divided them into two batches according to your orders." One was given to the Xiliang cavalry that came with me, a total of 3,000 horsemen. A batch was given to the Chen Liucheng defense soldiers, a total of 2,000 horsemen, plus 2,000 Xiliang warriors who were originally captured and changed their former ways, a total of 7,000 knights, please review! ”

The voice was loud and high-pitched, and the voice spread for hundreds of meters, which showed that Lu Bu was also excited at this meeting.

Zhang Chao was also very excited, this trip to Chang'an, also very fruitful, completed the original plan he made when he came here, and became the nominal state pastor as he wished, which is equivalent to having a foundation, and acting without face in the future to look at the faces of outsiders.

I still thought that with only the previous layout, it might be difficult for the thousands of people who went to Bingzhou first by Guo Jia and others, but now with these 7,000 athletes, it is indeed different, and they have a lot of advantages in terms of troops, and they are not far from truly commanding the entire six counties of Bingzhou.

The dream in his heart opened from this moment on, and Zhang Chao said excitedly: "Okay, Feng Xian did a good job." ”

After sighing, Zhang Chao looked sideways at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, haven't you always wanted to lead the cavalry?" Now select 2,000 warriors from here to be the foundation of your cavalry, the name, it can be named after your character, and it will be called the Dragon and Tiger Army. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Yun was naturally very happy when he heard this, and immediately agreed heartily.

"Haha, okay. The remaining 5,000 cavalry are dedicated to the pioneer envoys, and their names are also based on the words, so how about being called the vanguard army? Zhang Chao also did not forget about Lu Bu, and turned his head to ask.

"Thank you, Lord." Lu Bu also replied excitedly. This at least proves that what he has done has been recognized by Zhang Chao and proves that he has a place in the Zhang Group, which is the most important thing.

"Well, you guys should hurry up and pick up troops." Zhang Chao waved his hand, and the next matter was handled by the two generals. Instead, he called Jia Xu and Li Ru, two top strategists, over. "The two, in order to hide their figures, Feng Xian will not follow me back to Chenliu this time, but will go directly to Bingzhou to assist Guo Jia and Xu Shu there to lay a solid foundation, so I don't know which of the two wants to be a military advisor to follow?"

After Zhang Chao's question was spoken, Jia Xu unconsciously took a step back. Obviously, he didn't have the intention of competing for this errand, or that he knew the times, so Li Ru was staring at Zhang Chao at the moment, obviously he was very interested in this position.

"Oh, it seems that Wen You will be the military advisor of the vanguard army for the time being." Seeing that the two strategists had already made a choice, Zhang Chao nodded and decided.

Zhang Chao made a decision so quickly, Li Ru's expression was stunned, and he replied with his head bowed: "I will never live up to the expectations of the lord." ”

"Hehe, okay, pack up, get ready to go, we'll see you in Bingzhou then." Zhang Chao smiled and patted Li Ru's shoulder.
