Chapter 517: Zang Hong
Before leaving, a certain city lord had done some homework and had a clear understanding of Zang Hong's situation.
Zang Hong, the source of the word, was a native of Sheyang, Guangling (now Huai'an, Jiangsu).
He didn't even qualify for the role in the romance, and he didn't even mix up the role of a passerby, but the real Zang Hong in history is by no means a mediocre person.
Zang Hongchu was filial piety in the county, and Emperor Ling resigned in the last year to go home, and was hired by Zhang as a meritorious Cao. During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Zang Hong persuaded Zhang to oppose Dong, and Zhang Miao, Zhang's brother, would join Liu Dai, Kong Yi, Qiao Mao and others to form an alliance with Sour Zao, and Zang Hong swore an oath to defeat Dong Zhuo, which shows his status.
After being attached to Yuan Shao, Zang Hong served as the assassin of Qingzhou, and later changed to the Taishou of Dongjun. When Cao Cao attacked Zhang, because Yuan Shao did not save him, Zang Hong broke off friendship with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent troops to attack his garrison Dongwuyang for a long time, until the city was exhausted, and seven or eight thousand of Zang Hong's subordinates would rather die than surrender, and they were all killed by Yuan Shao.
Zang Hong and Zhang, Chen Rong and Tian Chou are both civil and military and have deep personal relations, and are known as the "Four Friends of the North". Zang Hong and Yuan Shao turned against each other for Zhang, and Chen Rong among the four friends was also captured after the destruction of Dongwu Yang City, refused to accept the surrender and chose to die with Zang Hong.
Most of the civil and military staff under Yuan Shao's seat sighed, "How to kill two martyrs in one day!" ”
If Zang Hong is summed up in two words, it is "loyalty"!
Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" commented: "Chen Deng, Zang Hong and have a majestic festival, the year of the climb and the fall of the year, the failure of the feat, Hong with a weak army and a strong enemy, the martyrdom is not established, it's a pity!" ”
This is Zang Hong in history, another outstanding figure who has been submerged in the long river of history.
After knowing Zang Hong's deeds, Ah Niu had a little more confidence in this trip to Linzi. In Ah Niu's opinion, at least Zang Hong at this time should have no hostility towards Feng Xiang, and if it is not bad, it is likely that he has a good impression of Feng Xiang. Such a conclusion is not a conjecture of Ah Niu, but a conclusion reached after careful analysis, for the following reasons:
First, the historical Zang Hong is not a pure puppet, he has his own moral code and code of conduct. With Yuan Shao's status and status, even if he was a little annoyed that a certain city lord had damaged his clan brother Yuan Shu's reputation, it was unlikely that he would specifically tell Zang Hong to deal with a lord player, which was obviously too petty and would damage the reputation of the alliance leader of the Kwantung princes!
In addition, Zang Hong has just arrived in Qingzhou to take office, and there are a lot of affairs to deal with, even if Yuan Benchu has any ideas, it should be after Zang Hong stabilizes his position.
Second, since he has the name of "loyalty", it is naturally impossible to ignore Feng Xiang's proud achievements in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army. In the battle of Luoyang, the brilliant results achieved by the Fengxiang Iron Army made the world look sideways, and it seems that this can be regarded as "pacifying the chaos for the country".
Third, Zang Hongchu's foothold in Qingzhou was not stable, and the top priority was to consolidate his position. Fengxiang City is the leader among the lord players in Qingzhou and even the whole country, Feng Xiang's military strength has already been tested in several bloody battles, and it is extremely unwise to brazenly move towards Feng Xiang at this time.
As the so-called "strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake", to put it mildly, Ah Niu really didn't take a "parachute force" like Zang Hong in his heart, and before he completely integrated the strength of Qingzhou, it was impossible to pose a real threat to Fengxiang!
The self-confidence of a certain city lord comes from Feng Xiang's elite soldiers and fierce generals, as well as the strength of the territory that is growing every day. If Zang Hong knows each other, the most important thing to do now is to maintain friendly relations with Feng Xiang, Ah Niu's five-rank Zhaode general is not lower than Zang Hong's, and the official position of a certain city lord is given by Emperor Ling, and its legitimacy is far stronger than that of Zang Hong assigned by Yuan Shao.
Zang Hong did not disappoint Ah Niu.
In the Thorn History Mansion, Zang Hong, who was dressed in casual clothes, held a banquet for Ah Niu and others.
This historical figure, who is famous for his "loyalty", has a burly figure, a Chinese face, a simple appearance, a calm bearing, extraordinary conversation, elegant and resolute manners, and it is easy for people to have a good impression of him. Zang Hong's attitude at the banquet was very easy-going, obviously he also knew that he couldn't overwhelm the Fengxiang City Lord in his status, in fact, Zang Hong's kindness made Ah Niu and the others feel relieved.
Zang Hong is reluctant to fight with Feng Xiang, and Feng Xiang also needs the support of the state government.
After three rounds of drinking, Zang Hong got up and poured wine for everyone personally, and said with a smile: "When I was in Guangling earlier, Hong heard about many deeds in Fengxiang City, and the name of the city lord of Aniu was like thunder. When Luoyang was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, Hong was even more eager to grow his wings and rushed to Luoyang to help Fengxiang repel the rebellious party, but he didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Fengxiang Army was so strong, and he repelled the attack of the Yellow Turban Army in a few days, and also chased and killed hundreds of miles, and defeated the long-standing Black Mountain Army, which was magnificent! ”
A certain city lord smiled indifferently, "Lord Thorn Shi has won the award." The battle of Luoyang was able to be won, relying on Cao Mengde, Wang Kuang, and Kong Beihai and others to rescue each other, otherwise the lone army stationed in Luoyang with Fengxiang would never be able to stop the attack of the Yellow Turban Army. ”
The humble style of a certain city lord made Zang Hong nod secretly, Zang Hong's eyes were blazing, and he asked Ah Niu: "As far as Hong knows, before the battle of Luoyang began, it was extremely unfavorable to the defenders. The Yellow Turban Army besieged the city on three sides, leaving only the West Gate to open one side, Feng Xiang could have retreated from there, why did the city lord of Aniu choose to defend the lonely city? Judging from the situation at that time, this was undoubtedly a self-defeating situation, and Hong always wondered why the city lord of Ah Niu would make such a decision! ”
A certain city lord's heart moved, drank all the wine in the cup, and laughed: "The old capital of the Han Dynasty, how can you allow the Yellow Turban thief to get involved!" ”
Of course, Ah Niu is not so noble and great, Feng Xiang has considered a lot when he made the decision to defend Luoyang, and there is absolutely no such reason as mentioned above. A certain city lord knows that it is not wrong to deal with people like Zang Hong and grasp the word "loyalty" to make a fuss.
This "answer" Zang Hong was silent for a while, and then looked at Ah Niu and the others in their eyes, and there was already a little more respect and closeness. When he knew that Zhao Yun, who was defending the lonely city in the Battle of Luoyang and leading the Flying Wing Battalion to attack the Yellow Turban Army outside the city again and again, this closeness reached the highest point, "Sure enough, he is a young hero!" ”
"Lord Assassin Shi may not know yet, my fifth brother still has some unknown deeds, and Lord Assassin Shi should not feel strange when he says it." A certain city lord laughed.
"Oh? Ah Niu City Lord, please speak! ”
"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the one who picked the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao was Zilong; During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, although Feng Xiang did not participate in the war on the surface, Zilong temporarily served under Cao Mengde's account, and after Pang De was defeated by Dong Zhuojun's Li Si in front of Bishui Pass, Zhao Wu, who turned the tide, was Zilong's pseudonym. These two things are related to the safety and survival of Feng Xiang, if it weren't for Ah Niu's view that Lord Thorn Shi was a bright and upright person, he would never leak it lightly, and please keep it confidential. After a certain city lord finished speaking, he got up and saluted.
Zang Hong hurriedly got up and solemnly promised that he would never divulge secrets.
"The Yellow Turban Army attacked Feng Xiang again and again, it turned out that Zhang Jiao died in Feng Xiang's hands! If Zhao Yun hadn't killed Zhang Jiao, the imperial court would have had to work hard to pacify the Yellow Turban rebellion; When the Kwantung princes discussed Dong Zhuo, it was a strange thing that Feng Xiang did not participate in the war, but now the truth is finally revealed......" Zang Hong pondered silently, and the shock in his heart was beyond measure.
"Ah Niu City Lord actually told me such a confidential matter, Feng Xiang really dared to act, even if Yuan Gong wanted to be unfavorable to Feng Xiang in the future, Hong must not leak this matter!" As long as you are not deaf, you should know about the festival between Ah Niu and Yuan Shu, although Zang Hong has not received an express or hint from Yuan Shao now, but at this moment Zang Hong has made a decision.
In his opinion, Feng Xiang is definitely a loyal and righteous person of the Han Dynasty!
A Niu's classmate is simply too upright! Such an upright person is easy to suffer, Zang Hong can't help but be a little worried about a certain city lord, "If Dong Zhuo knows, Feng Xiang will not be good." ”
If Ah Niu knew what Zang Hong was thinking now, he would probably cramp with laughter.
Two things seem to be absolutely confidential, but they are not.
Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army has long been aware of it, otherwise it would not have repeatedly sent troops to Feng Xiang, anyway, whether Feng Xiang admits it or not cannot change the hostility of the Yellow Turban Army, not to mention that the current Yellow Turban Army is too busy to take care of itself, and it is not able to pose a threat to Feng Xiang at all!
As for Zhao Wu, someone has already told Dong Zhuofang that paper can't contain the fire. With Dong Zhuo's character, even if he is not sure of the truth of this matter, he will never give Feng Xiang a good face again.
In this way, it does not make much difference whether to sue Zang Hong or not, but it is possible to gain Zang Hong's favor, and at worst, it can also play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, so as to win a better living environment for Fengxiang. Of course, it is already the limit of Ah Niu to talk about it in private here, and this is because Zang Hong has the name of "loyalty", and it is impossible to want a certain city lord to admit these two things in public!
The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, although a certain city lord found it very boring, "This is socializing, boring socializing!" ”
It wasn't until Zang Hong's words in the next issue that Ah Niu came to his senses.
"There's a little thing, I don't know if the city lord of Ah Niu can help." (To be continued)
