Chapter 120: The Two Armies Meet!(Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!)
Along the way, Zhou Xuan was pondering.
It wasn't until he arrived in the original Lucheng that Zhou Xuan's complexion softened slightly.
The original Lucheng is a large county town, and the city wall is more than thirty or forty meters high.
The guards on the tower of the city gate suddenly became nervous when they saw Zhou Xuan leading a mighty army coming.
Especially in Zhou Xuan's army, there were more than 200,000 Yellow Turban prisoners.
This made the soldiers of the original Deer City think that the Yellow Turban was attacking the city.
They immediately put the whole city on alert, and the five thousand soldiers in the city quickly assembled.
The soldiers of the major wealthy clans also hurried to support.
For the yellow scarf, they are afraid of the tiger!
It wasn't until the end of the communication between the two sides that it was discovered that this was an oolong.
They respectfully invited Zhou Xuan's army into the original Lucheng.
The former county magistrate of Lucheng also respectfully followed Zhou Xuan's side at this time.
"It turned out that Zhou Xuangongzi of Lujiang County brought troops to help, which is a great luck for our Runan County. ”
The former county magistrate of Lu County was named Shi'an.
He is also a child of the Hao family.
Zhou Xuan's name is like thunder to him.
He was approaching his prime, but he didn't have much to accomplish.
And Zhou Xuan is still a teenager, but he is already famous.
The gap between the two sides is like the difference between heaven and earth.
Especially in the recent period, Zhou Xuan awakened the Mandate of Heaven, condensed the destiny, and defeated the army of millions of Shanyue, thus becoming famous.
It can be said that the entire upper circle of the Han Dynasty is full of legends and deeds.
You don't know Zhou Xuan?
Sorry, that's your level too low.
It may sound exaggerated, but this is indeed a portrayal of reality in recent times.
Zhou Xuan waved his hand to stop Shi An's touting.
"It's just what my generation of scholars should do. ”
Shi An shook his head.
He said with a sincere face: "There are thousands of clans in the world, who can be as outstanding as Zhou Xuangongzi?"
How many people can come to support Runan at such a critical moment?"
Listening to Shi An's tone, he was really sincere.
It's a heartfelt admiration.
Seeing Shi An's sincere eyes, Zhou Xuan was a little embarrassed.
He will send troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban this time, and it is really not for such a lofty goal.
He did nothing more than two things.
First, fame.
Second, credit.
Although fame cannot be seen or touched, it plays an extremely important role.
Especially in this day and age, all talents value fame very much.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, when the heroes competed for hegemony, why were the Yuan brothers the most powerful?
Isn't it because of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, whose family fame is known in the Han Dynasty, has attracted a single talent to take refuge?
After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong and fled from Luoyang, why was he able to quickly pull up a strong team?
Isn't it because he assassinated Dong Zhuo and promulgated the promulgation of the proclamation, which led to a great increase in fame, and all kinds of talents were automatically sent to the door?
Why did Liu Bei suffer repeated defeats in his life, but he was always able to make a comeback and finally establish the Shu Kingdom?
Isn't his benevolent reputation spread all over the Han Dynasty, and he even occupies the righteous name of the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty?
It can be said that the fame of the Three Kingdoms era is the most important capital!
Although this world is not the original historical world, the importance of fame is not small at all.
As for the credit, that's better understood.
Zhou Xuan made a contribution in order to get a foothold.
In this way, he will be able to let go of the development of his hands and feet.
Even if you can't get a state, it's a good idea to get a county.
Having a foothold is equivalent to having a foundation.
Only then does he have the capital to compete for the world!
However, at this time, Shi Andu had already promoted Zhou Xuan to a high position, and Zhou Xuan really couldn't self-destruct the city wall.
Therefore, he could only nod solemnly.
His eyes revealed a look of concern for the country and the people.
Then he sighed: "The world is in chaos, where can I be safe?
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!
As a scholar, I should set an example for the world's scholars.
Be an example for the people of the world!"
Shi An was in awe when he heard this!
"Zhou Xuan's son Gao Yi!
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband......
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!"
Seeing that Shi An was fooled and lame by himself, a look of embarrassment flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes.
He quickly changed the subject.
At this point, he took the opportunity to come up with his own plan.
Hearing that Zhou Xuan was going to leave 200,000 Yellow Turban captives in the original Lucheng, Shi An hesitated for a moment.
But when he thought of what Zhou Xuan had just said, he still nodded and agreed.
It wasn't until Shi An agreed that Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile flashed in his eyes.
"This is the power of fame, if an ordinary general makes such a request, Shi An is likely to refuse. ”
After all, there were only 5,000 soldiers in the original Deer City.
Even if you add the soldiers of the major wealthy families, there are only more than 10,000 people.
Leaving behind an army of 200,000 captives in the city was a great security risk.
"I will select 30,000 of these Yellow Turban soldiers to join my Zhou family's army, in fact, Yuan Lucheng can do the same, after all, the more troops in the troubled times, the safer. ”
Zhou Xuan told Shi An about his plan.
Shi An's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He praised with great joy: "Zhou Xuangongzi is really extraordinary. ”
Zhou Xuan waved his hand: "Because I still have to go on the expedition, the number of soldiers recruited cannot exceed half of my own army at most, but Shi'an County makes you have no worries about this."
In the original Lucheng, there are about 13,000 people in all the troops, and the county commander can recruit 26,000 people from these captives to come out and train them.
As a result, the number of troops in the original Lucheng has increased greatly, with nearly 40,000 people, and it can be regarded as a preliminary self-preservation power in this troubled era. ”
Shi Anxin bowed deeply in convincing.
"Thank you for the guidance of Master Zhou Xuan, Shi An is unforgettable!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and helped him up.
But in my heart, there are some strange thoughts.
"These captive crises were originally brought to him by me, and now they are just helping him solve them, and they are so grateful to me?
Is this a model of me selling and still counting my money?"
......
The Zhou family army temporarily stopped in the original Lucheng and had to be repaired for two days.
The journey was tiring, and Zhou Xuan slept very sweetly this night.
Early the next morning, Shi An rushed over to wake up Zhou Xuan.
He panted and said, "Master Zhou Xuan, outside the original Lu City, another army has appeared!"
"Another army?"
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed when he heard this.
"Do you know who the army is?"
Shi An shook his head.
"I don't know, after I got the news, I hurriedly came to inform you. ”
"Is that so?"
Zhou Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled: "Then come with me to see who the Divine came to the outside of the original deer city!"
