Chapter 68 The five tiger generals have four of them!
Looking at the four generals beside him, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel proud.
Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci!
Except for Dian Wei, the other three can lead the army alone!
"Han Sheng, Zi Yi, Er Lai, Zi Long, Liu Zhang is truly honored to have your help!"
"From now on, if we and I work together, there is no need to worry that great things will not be accomplished and the Han Dynasty will not prosper!"
These four generals gave Liu Zhang full confidence in the future.
There are already four of the Five Tiger Generals, and the last one is also waiting in Yizhou!
Liu Zhang even felt that as long as he worked steadily, he could definitely end the troubled times and create a new great man!
"I am willing to die for the Lord!"
The four of them had firm eyes, and they were all proud to be favored by Liu Zhang!
The master chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their master.
Only when the monarch and his subordinates complement each other can they exert great energy!
If the monarch is incompetent, even if his subordinates have incredible talents, it will not help. For example, Tian Feng and Ju Sue ended up dead!
A monarch who has talent but no capable people to assist him will never achieve great things. For example, Liu Bei in the early days had only states and counties, but he could only give them away to others!
In history, the endings of these four generals were not very satisfactory!
Huang Zhong was so talented that he didn't get Liu Bei's attention until he was old.
Dian Wei died because of Cao Cao's lust.
Taishi Ci had been fighting with Huang Zhong for many years and was far away from the political center of Soochow.
It is also said that Taishi Ci was an old general of Sun Ce and was feared by Sun Quan. In short, Taishi Ci died with hatred in front of Red Cliff. Before his death, he shouted, "When your husband is alive, he should carry a seven-foot sword to ascend to the rank of emperor. Today's ambition is unsatisfactory."
From now on, I will die!" This shows the unwillingness in my heart!
Not to mention Zhao Yun, who was loyal but always acted as a bodyguard. When Liu Bei ascended the throne as King of Hanzhong, he actually only named the "Four Tiger Generals". Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong were appointed as the front, back, left, and right generals respectively. Zhao Yun
I only got generals with random numbers.
It should be noted that the turning point for Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong was the Battle of the Han River commanded by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was brave and careful. He first broke into Cao's army several times and rescued many generals, and then deployed an empty city strategy to defeat Cao Cao and cause Cao's army heavy casualties. It should be noted that Cao Cao was in
At that time, he was like a god of war.
Many scholars in later generations believed that it was Zhao Yun who led the troops alone to defeat Cao Cao and reversed the situation in the Battle of Hanzhong.
The four of you all have amazing talents, and I will never let you live with regrets in this life!
Liu Zhang made up his mind, maybe in the future history, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will no longer be the only enemies with ten thousand enemies!
"Zilong, you will temporarily lead the army as Sima and command five hundred cavalry."
As soon as Zhao Yun joined, he was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Zhang and was very moved.
"My lord, Yun's talents are limited, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such a big responsibility as my lord!"
Liu Zhang knew that Zhao Yun was firstly modest and secondly inexperienced. After all, he was just a young man who had just passed the weak crown.
"Zilong, I believe you will not let me down!"
"Han Sheng and the other three have fought with me for dozens of years. You can ask them for advice. I hope you can take charge of your own business in the future!"
Zhao Yun felt his blood surge. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to have such high hopes for him! He no longer shied away.
"Yun will live up to his lord's trust!"
Then he bowed his hands to Huang Zhong and the others.
"Please ask the three generals for more guidance in the future!"
"You're welcome, you and I encourage each other!"
Huang Zhong, the three of them, and Zhao Yun were humble. They were all magnanimous gentlemen and could blend in quickly.
Seeing the scene where the five Liu Zhangs and their ministers cherished each other, Xia Houlan was slightly embarrassed. He felt that he was too redundant.
"My lord, Xiahou Lan has lived with me since he was a child. He is also very talented. Please take me in, my lord!"
Zhao Yun saw Xiahou Lan's situation and shamelessly asked Liu Zhang.
"Ah! Sorry, I was so excited that I forgot you were here!"
Liu Zhang was so excited that he ignored Xia Houlan's presence and apologized repeatedly.
Xia Houlan was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. How could he dare to ask Liu Zhang to apologize to him? Their identities were so different.
"General Liu, please don't do this. Common people really can't do this!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded. It seemed that the moral character of anyone who was on good terms with Zhao Yun would be fine.
"Are you related to the Xiahou family in Peiguoqiao County?"
Liu Zhang thought that Xiahoulan had served Cao Cao, and he was curious about whether his Xiahou was related to Cao Cao's Xiahou.
Xiahoulan was slightly stunned, and quickly shook his head to deny that he didn't even know that there was a Xiahou family in Qiao County.
"My ancestral home is Changshan, and I have no distant relatives."
"Will you serve me?"
Liu Zhang took the initiative to extend an olive branch. Although Xia Houlan did not have a shocking talent, he was still a recorded figure.
Liu Zhang could not only recruit top civil servants and generals, he also needed many middle-level and even grassroots subordinates.
Historically, Xiahoulan served Xiahoudun, and after surrendering to Liu Bei, he was appointed military commander. He was also a talented person.
What's more, Zhao Yun spoke in person, and Liu Zhang had to give him face.
Xia Houlan was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Zhang could take the initiative to recruit him, which had already given him enough face.
"I am willing to serve our lord as hard as a dog or horse!"
Liu Zhang stepped forward to help Xia Houlan up and said seriously:
"You will be appointed as Deputy General Zilong first. If you work hard, you will be of great use in the future!"
"Thank you, lord!"
Xia Houlan now has no experience, and his martial arts and courage are much inferior to Zhao Yun. Naturally, he cannot lead an army alone.
Liu Zhang arranged for him to be trained under Zhao Yun's tent, hoping that one day he would be of great use.
"Okay, now that Zilong is awake, there is no need for us to delay here!"
All the generals pricked up their ears and listened to Liu Zhang's instructions.
"Now that Lu Zhi has been demoted, his replacement is Dong Zhuo, who comes from a wealthy family in Liangzhou. This man's strategy is far inferior to that of Lu Zhi's, and he is very happy with his achievements. It is inevitable that he will not be taken advantage of by Zhang Jiao!"
"I intend to rush to Guangzong with all my troops. Firstly, I can rescue Dong Zhuo and prevent the situation in Jizhou from eroding. Secondly, I can look for good opportunities again and completely eliminate Zhang Jiao and the others!"
"promise!"
Liu Zhang's words were sonorous and powerful, and no one among the generals questioned him. They all accepted the order. Everyone replied.
"My lord, didn't you say that Zhang Jiao was about to die?"
Zhao Yun was slightly startled by Dian Wei's words and looked at Liu Zhang in disbelief.
Liu Zhang nodded. According to the historical process, Zhang Jiao does not have much time left.
"Yes, I guess by the time I get to Guangzong, he will almost die."
"Hahaha!"
Dian Wei laughed loudly and geared up, wanting to do something big.
"Then I will take the lead in attacking Guangzong and chop off Zhang Jue's head, so that the lord can achieve unparalleled achievements!"
Dian Wei's words resonated with the generals, and a strange light shone in their eyes.
Especially Zhao Yun's eyes were unusually tenacious, as if Zhang Jiao's head had been reserved for him.
"Okay, hurry up and organize the troops and horses. Han Sheng, you go and allocate five hundred sergeants to Zilong. We will set off in two hours."
