Chapter 195: Selling Huang Zhong
After Liu Pan left, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Fu Xun, Yi Yuan, Wang Cang and other strategists came out from behind the screen and sat down in their respective seats.
Liu Biao said to everyone: "Wait for me to recruit Huang Zhong, explain the reason for the matter, and let him go to Wancheng?" ”
Kuai Liang immediately got up and handed over: "Lord, it's best not to say anything to Huang Zhong about this matter, just say that he will be transferred to Qin Feng's side to listen to him, and from now on he will be under Qin Feng's control, If he learns that he is being exchanged for thirteen cities and refuses to obey, what should we do?" Therefore, this matter should only be known to everyone present, and it should not be spread out, so as not to cause extraneous problems! ”
Liu Biao listened to Kuai Liang's words, couldn't help but nodded, stroked his long beard and shouted: "Come on, summon Huang Zhong to come to see me!" ”
Someone outside promised: "No! ”
Soon, a burly veteran with a somewhat gray beard walked in, this veteran had a steady gait, and walked like a dragon walking in between steps.
"Veteran Huang Zhong see the envoy!"
Liu Biao looked at Huang Zhong and saw that Huang Zhong was really a little different, Huang Zhong was fifty and five this year, and other people were already old at this age, walking and talking were weak, but this Huang Zhong was like a loud bell, with a ruddy complexion, strong spirits, and a strong body that was better than that of young people.
"Huang Zhong, do you know what I called you for?" Liu Biao asked.
How did Huang Zhong know? He clenched his fists and said: "The veteran doesn't know, please show the envoy!" ”
Liu Biao nodded, "Here's the thing, I, Jingzhou, and Qin Feng of Nanyang have the obligation to form an alliance, and both sides have a common will to join forces against Cao Cao, in order to deepen the trust between the two sides, I have decided to send you to serve under Qin Feng, from now on, you will obey Qin Feng's military orders and dispatches, and he will be your direct superior."
"Nominally, Nanyang is also under my Jingzhou jurisdiction, and it is also a normal transfer for you to take up a post in Nanyang, I hope you will focus on the overall situation and obey the order!"
Huang Zhong didn't expect to call him all the way away, but he was originally under Liu Pan, and Liu Pan had already told him just now that Liu Biao would have another appointment for him, but he never thought that he was going to Nanyang, Nanyang is his hometown, of course he wanted to go back, but he felt that this thing was a little unusual?
Listening to Liu Biao's tone, this matter has been decided, there is no room for bargaining, Huang Zhong had no choice but to agree, fortunately, his hometown is Wancheng, and this time he went to Wancheng, which can be regarded as a return to his hometown.
"Huang Zhong takes the order! Dare to ask the envoy, when will you rush to Wancheng to report? Is there a time limit? Huang Zhong asked.
Liu Biao said: "You wrote a letter to the family, asking the family to come to Xiangyang to meet you, and a month later, Ji Bo and you went to Wancheng!" ”
"Obey the order, the veteran will retire!"
Huang Zhong's son died early, only the wife of the dregs was in Changsha City, there was one servant and two maids at home, and it was easy to set off to Xiangyang.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong and his wife met in Xiangyang City, and the next day they crossed the river north to Wancheng with Yi Yuan.
Wancheng, Qin Feng happily received Yi and Huang Zhong in Taishou Mansion, and his family was temporarily settled in the pavilion.
"I've seen the general, introduce to the general, this person is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng!" Yi said.
Qin Feng looked at Huang Zhong, and he really deserved to be a famous general, this momentum is different from ordinary people.
Huang Zhong clenched his fists: "Huang Zhong has seen General Qin!" ”
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Han Sheng served as a Zhonglang general under Liu Pan in Changsha City, and he will also be a Zhenwu Zhonglang general under my command!" ”
The military attachés of the Han Dynasty were divided into generals, lieutenant generals and lieutenants, and the generals were not permanent, so the lieutenant generals became the highest military positions that military attachés could do in peacetime; And the highest local military attache is the captain.
But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was chaotic, the local state pastor, the state assassin history, and the Taishou have appointed their own officials and generals, with many names, and the military attache of Zhonglang General was originally the position of the highest military attache in the imperial court at peacetime, and now it abounds under the command of the princes, and many princes in order to appoint official positions to the generals under their command, they add a title in front of the Zhonglang general, such as the Hengshui Zhonglang General.
Among the generals in this category, the three military attachés, General Bi, General Pi, and General Yamen, have the lowest status.
However, at this time, although the princes in various places have begun to appoint officials and military attaches by themselves, they still can't be appointed casually, after all, the imperial court is still there, and even if you appoint it, most people don't recognize it, and the appointment is useless!
For example, when Sun Ce was not dead, the official position appointed by the imperial court to him was a rebellious general, which was just a miscellaneous general, without a name, compared to the status of the famous generals such as the Four Expeditions (Conquering the East, Conquering the South, Conquering the West, and Conquering the North), the Four Towns, Siping, and Si'an.
Sun Ce himself is just a rebellious general, the official position of his generals must not be higher than him, the imperial court did not appoint Zhou Yu to an official position, but Zhou Yu wants to lead the troops, and he must have an official position to be justified, he is the number one person under Sun Ce, Sun Ce awarded him the official position of General Jianwei Zhonglang.
Another example is Huang Gai, he can be said to be an old minister of the Sun family's three dynasties, right? When he followed Sun Jian to discuss Dong, he was appointed by Sun Jian as Sima of the other department, and later followed Sun Ce and concurrently served as the commander of Xunyang with the official position of Sima of other departments.
For example, others, such as Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, and Tai Shici, are now only in the official positions of Du Wei or Sima of other departments.
At the beginning, the Jiangdong Sun clan was still relatively well-behaved, and did not arbitrarily appoint officials and military generals, but appointed them in accordance with the regulations of local officials and military positions, and when Sun Quan's time, they began to ignore the imperial court discipline.
Huang Zhong thanked: "Thank you, General!" ”
Qin Feng sent someone to find Yan Xiang and said to him: "Mr. Yan, you accompany Mr. Yi to go to Sui County and find Lu Chang to do a handover!" ”
Yan Xiang promised: "No! ”
After Yan Xiang and Yi Yuan left, Qin Feng said to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, before coming to Wancheng, what did Liu Jingsheng tell you?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "Liu Yuanjun said that the general will listen to the errand in the future!" ”
"That's it?" Qin Feng asked.
"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded.
Qin Feng said with a straight face: "Liu Jingshen is not wrong, but there is one thing I want to make clear to Han Sheng, since you have been transferred to my command to listen to the errand, from now on you can only obey my command and appointment, no matter what kind of orders Jingzhou sends you, you don't have to pay attention to it, because from the moment you leave Xiangyang, you are not the general of Jingzhou, but belong to my command!" ”
Huang Zhong was puzzled: "This Liu Yuanjun didn't say it!" ”
Qin Feng said: "It's not too late for you to know now, it's not easy for Liu Jingsheng to say this matter too thoroughly, I'm worried that you have resistance, if you come, you will be safe, and my Nanyang Flame Army is no worse than the Jingzhou Army!" Although the scale of troops, weapons and armor are not as good as those of the Jingzhou Army, all the sergeants of my Flame Army are elite soldiers, and they can block ten with one, and they will know after Han Sheng is familiar with them! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Feng shouted outward: "Someone! ”
A young man walked in outside the door, "What does the lord command?" ”
