Chapter 5

Zhang Yang ordered Huang Zhong, Liao Hua and others to bury the dead and treat the injured, and then screen out elites who were willing to surrender and follow, and all the others were dismissed on the spot.

But he didn't expect that from these prisoners, he learned that Li Qi, who was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow, was their second in command. Pei Yuanshao went out to discuss business and would not come back until tomorrow.

"Discuss business? Aren't bandits doing business? Why have they become businessmen who buy low and sell high?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but say in surprise.

When Liao Hua heard Zhang Yang say this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, touched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Lord, I don't know anything. When he was going to fall into a bandit in Mutuo Ridge at the end of the past few years, he was also such a businessman."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang and others curiously turned their eyes to Liao Hua. Xiao'e and Xiaodie girl's heart were even more staring at Liao Hua with bright eyes, waiting to listen to Liao Hua's interesting past.

Liao Hua looked at everyone's eyes gathered at him, laughed dryly with some embarrassment, and then looked at Liu Biao, who was also curious, and then said: "Brother Du and I were in Mutuo Ridge and robbed passers-by. If we were to eat food, clothing and materials, we would also rob some valuable things, such as pearls, horses, silk, etc., which were expensive but not as useful as wine and meat. We would secretly go to the city to find buyers, exchange the things in our hands for money, and then buy some rice, grain, oil and salt to bring them back, so that the brothers' lives would be better... Haha, it made everyone laugh."

Everyone couldn't help but chuckled when they heard this, and Zhang Yang also comforted with a smile: "Yuan Jian, it was forced by life in the past. Since I joined my command, I will be over the past. I won't mention it anymore!... Well, Pei Yuanshao, this name seems to have heard of it there..."

As he said that, Zhang Yang thought a little thoughtful. Zhou Cang then stepped forward gently and clasped his fists to Zhang Yang and said aloud: "Master, I know Pei Yuanshao. Before I joined the gang, I worked as a long-term worker for wealthy families. Later, the Yellow Turban broke the city and we lost contact. We hadn't met for more than six years in a flash, but I didn't expect that he would become the king of the mountain by himself."

When Zhang Yang heard that Pei Yuanshao turned out to be an old friend of his apprentice, he was a little surprised, and Liao Hua and others were not much better.

I heard Zhou Cang continue, "This person is very loyal and straight-minded. He is a good person and can talk to me very well. He is just a bad person... lustful..."

Seeing Zhou Cang's twisted appearance, everyone laughed, and Liao Hua said, "This is not a big problem. It's true for men. As long as people are good, they are fickle!"

Zhou Cang smiled bitterly, "When I was brother to him, he took the monthly salary to visit the kiln and ate flower wine as soon as he got it. He often asked me to help him..." Thinking of the past when my friend came back and was covered in rouge smell and his legs were floating in the wall and entered the house with the wall, Zhou Cang couldn't help but chuckled. But soon his smile disappeared and his voice became low.

"Later, when he saw that the second lady of the boss looked good and simple, he secretly hooked up with the second lady and made the second lady's belly bigger. The paper couldn't contain the fire. When the boss found out, he was furious and wanted to kill him. The second lady went to dissuade him, but was beaten to death by her father in anger. When I rescued him, he advised him not to act rashly. In grief and anger, he knocked me fainted. He sneaked into the mansion and killed the second lady's parents' family in the night, and then left a line of blood words on the wall, "You kill my beloved wife, I kill your whole family," and there was no news about him in the world..."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh that Pei Yuanshao's fate was tragic and the sadness of love.

"He is a love-loving person, and a good man who dares to love, hate, act and act." Zhang Yang looked at the two sisters with slightly red eyes and sighed sincerely.

"It's just... we are now taking advantage of his absence and fighting with his subordinates. We killed more than 70 of their brothers, injured no less than a hundred, and even killed his second leader. If we wait for him to come back, how can we face him?" Zhou Cang thought for a while, and looked at Zhang Yang with a wry smile.

Zhang Yang looked at the bodies that were put into the pit, and a large number of wounded soldiers lying on the ground wailing, and frowned: "I originally wanted to get to know him through Feihao (Zhou Cang's name, which I really couldn't find in history books, so I had to make one by myself), but I didn't want to..."

Looking at Liu Biao who was thinking about it, Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Brother Jingsheng, don't get me wrong-"

Liu Biao said without any concern: "If you don't have to mind, I will be satisfied if I can pass by this place safely. Moreover, people cannot be resurrected by death. My followers have gone, and it will not be helpful to kill more people. It is better to turn swords into jade and kill less."

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Biao gratefully, then turned to Zhou Cang and said, "Pei Yuanshao is worthy of money... and it seems that he can't find a place today. It's better to go to Pei Yuanshao's camp for a night and wait for him to come back tomorrow. Let's make an open statement. What should I apologize for, and what should I apologize for, is there an explanation. I wonder what Feihao wants to do?"

Zhou Cang nodded: "I'm asking someone to arrange it now." Then he turned around and left.

Zhou Cang found their third leader Bai Xi. After telling some of Pei Yuanshao's little-known secrets, Bai Xi finally believed that Zhou Cang was the brother Zhou that their boss often mentioned at the banquet.

With the relationship between Zhou Cang and the boss, the relationship between the two sides, which had just fought hard, improved rapidly. Zhang Yang announced in public that he would release the prisoners, and then went to Pei Yuanshao's camp to rest along the secret mountain road.

Seeing that Brother Zhou’s men were so generous, these bandits couldn’t help but admire them. They exchanged greetings and praised each other, “You are really amazing. The arrow shot like eyes, and the spear stabbed a hole!”

"You are not bad either, you are very brave!"

Then Zhou Cang and Bai Xi organized both sides to take out good things to share, eat wine and meat together, sit and talk together, and the relationship between the two sides quickly heated up.

Zhang Yang was a distinguished guest and was arranged by Bai Xi to temporarily live in his room. Bai Xi lived in the room of Li Qi, the second leader who had just passed away. The other brothers were properly placed.

Bai Xi's room was a very messy room. In addition to the debris and thick dust on the ground, the bed was even more messy, which made Xiaodie and Xiao'e clean up for an hour before she cleaned up the house.

"General, that... I'm sorry, we are all rough people, and there are no women around us. You don't know that the boss hates this the most... Well, I'll be slow to treat the general and my brothers, and I hope the general will forgive me." Bai Xi looked at the mountains of dust and garbage outside the door, then looked at the two sisters with dusty faces, laughed dryly, and repeatedly complained.

"It would be nice to have a place to spend the night, but we disturbed you." Zhang Yang said politely to him. Bai Xi said no, and then he left.

"You two are going to wash, they are all little cats." Zhang Yang pinched their noses affectionately and smiled.

Xiaodie's face turned red, but Xiaoe boldly stuck out her tongue at Zhang Yang, pulled her sister to fly and ran out.

As soon as the two sisters went out, they saw Liu Biao appear at the door.

"Ruyi, can you come in and sit down?" Liu Biao leaned over to look at Zhang Yang and asked softly in a negotiated tone.

"Of course! Brother Jingsheng, please sit down!" Zhang Yang hurriedly went out to invite Liu Biao in and brought a seat cushion for Liu Biao. The two of them sat on the ground, drinking dry tea and started chatting.

"Brother Jingsheng, I see that you are wearing an official seal and the government office, and it seems that you are going to take office. I wonder where Brother Jingsheng is going?" Zhang Yang put down the bitter water in the glass, wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Liu Biao and asked.

Liu Biao seemed to be unable to drink the water that seemed to be saline-alkali land. When he heard Zhang Yang ask, he quickly put down the cup in his hand, bowed to Zhang Yang, and replied quite helplessly: "Brother, I'm going to Jingzhou at this time."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang was surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao was about to go to Jingzhou now. He couldn't help but suddenly realize that Liu Biao was about to develop and the King of Jingzhou was about to be born soon.

Looking at Zhang Yang's confused expression, the bitterness on Liu Biao's face became even deeper: "If you don't know, you said that you were broken and fled because of the Party and Counterfeiting disaster. Later, you were recalled by General He Jin and served as the chief clerk of the Northern Army. However, you never thought that the general was murdered by eunuchs soon, and later Dong Zhuo was even more in trouble. He expressed his grief and anger, but he only showed that he was inappropriate in the army, his ability to lead the army to fight against rebels, and his wisdom to plan and plan. However, in order to protect his useful life, he hoped to eliminate the thieves one day to avenge the national humiliation, and he had to endure humiliation and live a life of silence until today..."

"Brother Jingsheng doesn't have to blame himself..." Zhang Yang comforted, but he was depressed, and you answered the question irrelevantly.

Liu Biao still said in a heavy voice: "I don't think that half a month ago, the magistrate of Wuling County ordered the prefect of Changsha to kill the governor of Jingzhou Wang Rui, which caused the tyrants of Jingzhou, and the people were in vain. However, Dong Zhuo did not know how he was doing, so he actually reported to Your Majesty that I would become the governor of Jingzhou... I didn't want to take up my post, for fear of falling into the rift with the traitors and becoming a traitor's traitor. But when I thought that if I could control the fertile land of Jingzhou, millions of people, worked hard for several years, trained 100,000 soldiers, reserved millions of grains, and then sent my troops to serve the king, which was no better than guarding Luoyang all day long and watching the palace fall into the thief's hands, so--"

Speaking of this, Liu Biao's eyes were vaguely tearful and glared, and he looked at Zhang Yang tightly and said in a deep voice: "So, Biao was wearing a seal and official clothes, and despite the war, he traveled south to Jingzhou day and night - Ruyi, do you understand the painstaking efforts of brother? I am not Dong Zhuo's person, not his lackey, I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Biao who was excited and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Liu Biao was indeed a strong-willed defender of the Han Dynasty. Although he finally fell into a laughing stock of "solidarity and not enterprising", Liu Biao was a radical fighter at this time, and he was willing to endure humiliation and bear the burden of the Han Dynasty! Putting aside his prejudice against Liu Biao in history, Liu Biao at this moment made Zhang Yang feel a lot of respect.

Zhang Yang did not avoid Liu Biao's burning gaze, but firmly held his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Jingsheng is a true loyal and brave man of the Han Dynasty. Even if you are not recognized and understood by the world now, one day they will understand everything you have done for the Han Dynasty! People in the world think that those who always scold Dong Zhuo as a traitor and who always kill the Han Dynasty are loyal ministers, but they don't know how many people can do it? On the contrary, Brother Jingsheng did not speak boldly, did not pretend to be pretentious, but used his heart, endurance and actions to save the Han Dynasty. Brother Jingsheng will surely be famous all over the world and leave a lot of marks in the history books of the Han Dynasty. How could those corrupt bones who only know how to speak empty words can compare with those who are stupid!"

Liu Biao patted Zhang Yang's hand excitedly and joyfully, his lips trembled a few times, and he actually choked and left tears of gratitude. Zhang Yang clearly felt his body trembling. It was the trembling of finding a soulmate!

"Ruyi, my brother has finally found someone who understands me...I...I'm so happy...I really..." Liu Biaoyu shivered in a mess, and as he spoke, he actually cried again.

Zhang Yang had to comfort Liu Biao with warm words. At this moment, Xiaodie and Xiao'e, who had already taken the time to take a shower and changed into clean clothes, jumping in with her hands holding hands. Before she could enter, Xiao'e's crisp and gentle call came, "Mr., what did my sister and I bring you?"

When they saw a guest in the room, they remembered the intimate joke that they had just been afraid of, and hurriedly politely owed Liu Biao to Liu Biao to a blessing. Then Xiaodie put a large tray on the coffee table, put the roasted tender yellow oil inserted in the wooden twig in his hand, and placed the fragrant big pheasant in the tray lightly. Then they pulled out a small and delicate dagger from their sleeves, and quickly turned the pheasant into thin chicken slices in front of Liu Biao Zhangyang. Then they placed a pair of small and exquisite white porcelain bowls and a pair of bamboo chopsticks in front of each other. Xiaoe took out a small jar of wine as big as a melon from her sleeve, grimacefully, and then put down the wine, saluted the two of them, and walked obediently with lotus steps away.

The moment the two women brought them to the door, Liu Biao asked Zhang Yang: "Are they all the same inner relatives?"

Zhang Yang nodded, and Liu Biao enviously said, "Ruyi is so lucky. I wonder which lady is from?"

At this moment, Wu Na's smile of Yixi Yiyan appeared in front of Zhang Yang's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing Liu Biao's concern, he quickly regained his expression and said with a smile: "To be honest, their sisters have a miserable life experience. A few years ago, the whole clan was looted by the rebels. If it weren't for the kind-hearted people saving and retaining them, their sisters would have long since withered in this chaotic world. Later, I went to Xuzhou to meet their master's family, and the master sent them to my younger brother. After being together for a long time, my younger brother felt that he liked them more and more and could not leave them, so he decided to marry them. But which lady they are... that must be the nightmare they least want to mention in their lives. Since they don't want to say it, why should I mention it? I like their people, not their origins. As long as they can live happily, who are they? What does it matter if they were poor or lowly before?"

Liu Biao looked at Zhang Yang deeply and exclaimed: "Ruyi is also a person with temperament, which is really admirable."

But they didn't know that the two sisters outside the door looked at each other and happily shed tears.

Zhang Yang smiled modestly and did not deny Liu Biao's praise for him. Thinking of Xiaodie and Xiao'e, looking at him alone by Liu Biao, he couldn't help but ask Liu Biao with some strangeness: "Brother Jingsheng, you will definitely live in Jingzhou for a long time when you go to Jingzhou. Why don't you go with the Shou Book? You can also save the travel of visiting relatives every year and the similar concerns of your daily life."

Seeing Liu Biao's face suddenly became depressed. Zhang Yang hurriedly smiled at Liu Biao and asked softly: "Is it because Dong Zhuo was worried about Brother Jing Sheng, and detained Brother Jing Sheng's family as a property in Luoyang?"

Liu Biao smiled sadly: "It's not all... When I heard that I decided to go to Jingzhou to take office, my wife committed suicide by hanging herself. My son Liu Qi hadn't met because he studied in Xiangyang for three years... My wife must have hated me so much that I thought I had joined the traitor Dong Zhuo and became his lackey... She hated me so much that she left without even leaving a last word and left..."

After saying that, Liu Biao started crying like a child, then held the small jar of wine and raised his head and poured it hard, choking him and coughing violently.

Zhang Yang hurriedly stood up and patted his back lightly for him, comforting him: "Maybe my sister-in-law is afraid of being pinned by Dong Zhuo, so she has bound Brother Jingsheng's hands and feet?"

When Liu Biao heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and then he looked straight at Zhang Yang for a while. When Zhang Yang felt irritated, he saw Liu Biao suddenly cried and laughed and murmured: "It turns out that Qing'er didn't blame me. She wanted to see her because she was afraid that I couldn't let her go... Qing'er, you are so stupid!"

Looking at Liu Biao crying and laughing bitterly, Zhang Yang felt sorry for his love affair with Wu Na, and felt uncomfortable when he remembered the scramble for Wu Na.

"Since you know your sister-in-law's good intentions, Brother Jingsheng should work hard to overcome the traitors as soon as possible and avenge your sister-in-law's wife for the whole world!" Zhang Yang was afraid that Liu Biao would be sad and blame him for his excessive damage. As long as he let go of the sadness in his heart, he stepped forward and persuaded with kind words.

When Liu Biao heard Zhang Yang's words, he slowly stopped crying, wiped his tears, and said to Zhang Yang gratefully: "It is really Liu Biao's fate to meet Ruyi in his life. Ruyi not only saved my life, but also relieved the depression of my Dharma-relief. Please accept this great kindness from Liu Biao!"

As he said that, Liu Biao rolled up his sleeves and bowed deeply to Zhang Yang's feet.

At this moment, Zhang Yang knew that the future lord of Jingzhou would be the allies he could win. Now that his reputation is not revealed, it is only a hundred, and only ten generals. It is a place where duckweeds and water plants have no foothold. Even if they can conquer a world, it is impossible to achieve two or three years.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun, Sun Ce, and Sun Jian, etc., which one is Yiyou, and which part of the world is the main land? If you want to defeat a powerful enemy, you must not only rely on your own internal cultivation, benevolence and external cultivation of military preparations, but also have solid and reliable strong allies. Perhaps, in the near future, Liu Biao will be one.

Looking at the messy coffee table and empty seat cushions, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought, but he didn't know when the two sisters would have arrived beside him, and then silently snuggled into Zhang Yang's arms.

Zhang Yang looked at the red eyes of the sisters in his arms, helped them wipe away the tears that had not dried on their pink cheeks, and laughed softly, "Have you eavesdropped?"

The two women turned red, Xiaodie bit her lips, looked at Zhang Yang in panic, lowered her head and said voluntarily, "My husband... I will never dare again..."

Zhang Yang lowered his head and gently kissed her flowery lips, touched her cute Yaya's hair bun and smiled: "Just eavesdrop, just eavesdrop, just don't talk nonsense outside. You are my women, don't I believe you yet?"

The two women then turned fear into anger and laughed.

But Zhang Yang immediately frowned slightly and said, "You girls are emotionally rich and cry at any time... Well, Brother Jingsheng is indeed pitiful. If your husband hadn't had strong willpower, he wouldn't be able to help crying."

When Xiao'e heard Zhang Yang's words about the ponytail, she pouted her mouth and lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes and muttered: "My husband, you know we are not for that..."
Chapter completed!
