Liu Zhong walked into the hall and knelt on the ground to salute Emperor Ling: "Liu Zhong see Your Majesty!"

Not to mention that Liu Zhong has never heard of the emperor, but he has never seen it, and it is the first time he has seen him alive in the different worlds of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Zhongxing glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, he was not very old, he had a mustache, and he didn't look handsome.

"No need to be polite, just flat. ”

Emperor Ling nodded, seeing that Liu Zhong had sword eyebrows, white clothes, and a dignified appearance, he liked it very much, and a good appearance was indeed easy for people to gain favor.

"Liu Zhong, how old are you this year? Emperor Ling asked.

"Your Majesty, Caomin has just turned fifteen this year (that is, sixteen years old), has not yet served, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and the ancient friend Tong Yuan at home also pointed out to me a lot, and he was taught by the old man, and he has learned his martial arts to seventy or eighty percent, and now Luoyang worships Cai Zhonglang as a teacher, studying calligraphy and poetry.

Although I have learned some skills, but I have not had the opportunity to show them, I heard that this time I will go to Xingyang to suppress the anti-thieves, so Mao recommended himself to let his mentor recommend me to the court, and asked His Majesty for permission. ”

Liu Zhong said it in one breath, and said it neatly, now in the eyes of others, he seems to be a genius who can write and martial arts, since he is Tong Yuan's apprentice, can he not be powerful in martial arts, and he has to be appreciated by Cai Yong as a student, then the talent will definitely not be bad, and the most rare thing is that he is loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Ling was very satisfied with this Liu Zhong, he couldn't help but look handsome, and he looked very capable, but he still turned around and asked Zhang Rang's opinion.

Zhang Rang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I see Liu Zhong as a talent, not only has the guidance of Penglai Gun Prodigy Yuan, but also Cai Zhonglang's student, which shows that he must have some skills, and I think it is feasible to send him to assist He Miao to suppress the rebellion together." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, everyone knew that Cai Yong's first-class virtuous ministers were at odds with Zhang Rang, although this Li Yuan may have some ability, but it was obviously Cai Yong's person, why did Zhang Rang not object, but still supported Liu Zhong, could it be that there is an unknown reason in it?

Not to mention others, even Cai Yong and Wang Yun didn't know why Zhang Rang didn't go against them this time, and helped them deal with the general He Jin, Cai Yong couldn't help but be a little more puzzled when he looked at Liu Zhong, his student who had just received his disciple was really a little mysterious.

There was a hint of fear in his doubts, and even he, the teacher, couldn't see through this newly recruited disciple.

What Cai Yong didn't know was that Liu Zhong began to approach Zhang Rang as early as a month ago, and bribed the people around Zhang Rang through money, and also took a few porcelain and two glass mirrors as gifts to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rangnai is a greedy man for money, and when he saw exquisite porcelain and high-end mirrors, his eyes immediately lit up.

Talking about this porcelain is Liu Zhong brought out from the Tianlong world, can it be good, the glass mirror is something that only exists in the real world, this other world is still the Han Dynasty, where can there be such a thing, Zhang Rang was very happy when he saw Liu Zhong sending such a treasure to himself.

Although I mind that Liu Zhong is Cai Yong's disciple, I have to help Liu Zhong for the sake of those treasures.

"Wait, this matter is so important that I can't just send someone there, I want to see if he really has the ability!"

He Jin didn't know what Zhang Rang was doing today, and he actually helped Cai Yong and them, but the military power he finally earned back for his clan brother was not so easy to divide in half.

"General, please ask the question. ”

Liu Zhong is not afraid at all, he is calm and calm in front of the ministers, just this demeanor is enough to be convincing, you must know that he is only sixteen years old this year, and this heart is better than many of his peers.

"Don't say that I make things difficult for you, I'll ask you how many soldiers and horses do you need to go to quell the rebellion this time, and what do you need to do to break the city?" He Jin asked the question according to the actual situation.

Liu Zhong didn't answer in a hurry, and asked, "Dare to ask the general, do you know how many people there are in the thief army?"

"About five thousand, Xingyang has been occupied, the situation is very urgent, although there are not many thieves and soldiers, but it is not so simple to suppress, a slight mistake may cause the whole army to be wiped out, so you have to think carefully before making a decision." He Jin said with a bit of threat in his words.

"It's not difficult to put down the rebellion this time, and I can also break through Xingyang with 5,000 men and horses. Liu Zhong said confidently.

He Jin listened to the sarcasm of the moment:

"Hmph, boy, you don't know the height of the sky, the enemy has occupied the city, you need at least several times the enemy's strength to break through the city gate, you only need 5,000 soldiers and horses to break the city is really ridiculous, you don't know the art of war at all. ”

Liu Zhong was also funny in his heart, who is this He Jin, if Liu Zhong remembers correctly, he is just a butcher, a pig killer, if he doesn't have a good sister, he wouldn't be a fart.

Relying on the relationship of your sister Empress Dowager He, how can you achieve the position of a general, and you are only slightly better than a layman for marching and fighting.

The general's words are wrong, if the siege is carried out according to the normal siege, of course, it will take several times the number of troops, and there are three reasons why I dare to say this.

It is believed that these rebels are just formed by the common people, and if they were not driven by someone, they might not dare to rebel, so it proves that their military spirit is unstable, which is one of them.

Second, these poor people may not even have enough to eat, let alone training, and it is difficult for them to form combat effectiveness.

Third, they have not long broken through Xingyang, and their foundation is not stable, as long as we attack the city quickly, it is likely that they will not be able to react, which will greatly increase the chance of breaking the enemy. ”

Liu Zhong flipped over his rhetoric, and his head was the truth, which made it impossible to refute, although He Jin had the heart to refute, he couldn't find a flaw, and finally could only stand aside and sulk.

Emperor Ling couldn't help laughing: "Liu Zhong, you really have the ability to lead the army, I named you the captain of Fenwei, led 7,000 troops to Xingyang to assist He Miao to suppress the rebels, and appointed He Miao as a protector, I wish you success first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to his high expectations!" Liu Zhong immediately knelt down and thanked him.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Zhong and Cai Yong, Wang Yun and other ministers thanked each other, and Cai Yong smiled and nodded.

"We have earned the official position for you with great difficulty, and I hope you will live up to your trust and return victoriously as soon as possible, so as not to lose face for us. ”

"I will definitely not disappoint Lord Cai. After saying goodbye to Cai Yong and others, Liu Zhong cleaned up a little. took Xu Zhu and Wang Wu to the barracks together.

Along the way, Xu Zhu was inexplicably dragged by Li Yuan, and couldn't help asking, "Zhendong, where are we going?"

"Haha, Zhong Kang, it's time for you to show your skills, now we have to lead our troops to Xingyang to suppress the rebels. ”

Liu Zhong told the court what happened this morning, Xu Zhu and Wang Wu couldn't help but dance after listening to it, they waited for many days, and finally had a chance to go to the battlefield, especially Xu Zhu, this guy is not a peaceful master.

A few days later, Liu Zhong led 7,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Xingyang City, and by this time he had handed over the military power to He Miao.

In Xingyang City, Li Mu is now proud, he was originally a person with a murder, fleeing for his life in all directions, avoiding the pursuit of the government, but because of the chaos in the world caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising not long ago, he was able to escape, and the current government is all inaction, and he is also blind to people like him with murders.

Although it has been a few years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the lives of the people have not only not improved, but also become worse and worse.

So he raised the banner of the uprising in Xingyang, colluded with a group of nearby bandits, and there were more than 400 people, and at once broke through the unguarded Xingyang, and killed Pan Ye, the master of Zhongmu, and controlled the city.

This guy also knows how to buy people's hearts, and opens the granary to distribute to the people, many people have joined his forces in order to thank him, and in a short period of time, an army of more than 5,000 people has been established.

Li Mu occupied the mansion of a wealthy merchant in the city, and at this time he was holding a feast to celebrate the success of the uprising, and dozens of leaders in the hall were eating vigorously, when suddenly one of his subordinates hurriedly walked in, accidentally bumped into a table, and knocked over all the dishes on the table.

"I'm going to you bastard boy, don't you have long eyes, don't you know we're celebrating with General Li?"

Zhao Li stood up and was a slap, he was the big leader of the bandits, and because he rebelled with Li Mu, he called Li Mu General Li.

The subordinates covered their cheeks in pain and said, "Big boss, General Li, something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong, our rebel army has just won a big victory, everything is fine, you kid can't speak!" Zhao Li kicked the short-eyed hand again.

"Forget about Chief Zhao, let's listen to what he has to say first. Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to continue.

The subordinate finally got up from the ground, and said in a panic: "The imperial army has been killed, the number is at least six or seven thousand, and it has been camped outside the city gate at this time, and it seems that it is about to attack the city!"
