The king's government had clear rewards and punishments, and he cut off his hair and took charge of affairs. Soon the news spread throughout Xiapi and fell into the ears of many people.
Zhang Zhao, who had just returned to the inner city after sending Chen Gong off, heard the news and immediately burst out in shock. He laughed and said to the people around him: "The hair and skin of your body are given to your parents. What's more, my lord has a body of a daughter?"
"The so-called "Spring and Autumn" righteousness is that the law is not respected. It was unexpected to encounter such things on the road today, but the lord can make a decision in an instant, sigh and kill the old soldiers, uphold the law, and cut off the warriors.
To serve as the leader is to appease the people. Such a bad thing can be turned into a good thing. It not only strengthens the law and discipline, but also wins the hearts of the people in one fell swoop. At the same time, it can also warn the current arrogant people in the army and suppress the laziness and arrogance. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone. My lord.
It can be seen that the machine transforms into an instrument."
After this comment, everyone around him nodded and said: "What Sima said is true. Xuzhou is so lucky to have such a bright master. It can be said that it is just around the corner to flourish. We are also very lucky. We are really happy to meet the bright master."
Congratulations."
"Come here, prepare some paper and ink." Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and then immediately ordered the guards.
Some officials were puzzled and asked Sima what official document he planned to issue a year ago. Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, my lord has done such a good deed today. It is the right time to do it. The time must not be lost. If we, the ministers, do not take good care of it,
, which is dereliction of duty."
He explained: "Although Xuzhou has reached a certain scale in terms of military and political affairs, in terms of civil and internal affairs, the system has just been established, trade has been established, and people's hearts have been settled. The way of internal affairs has always been to deal with official affairs first, and then
In order to regulate people's morals, my lord's actions today are a good start for us. The next step is to correct people's hearts and promote morals."
"I have great trust in my lord and hold the position of Sima. How can I not sit in the corpse position? This requires me to write a letter and present it to my lord."
...
When he finished writing the memorial, it was already dusk. Zhang Zhao did not bother to eat or rest, so he immediately went to the county mansion. At this time, Wang Zhengzheng and Huang Zhong were talking in the study.
When Huang Zhong saw Zhang Zhao and asked for an audience, Huang Zhong saw that the other official was an important minister under Wang Zheng's command. He was here at this time. He expected that there must be important matters to discuss, so he resigned voluntarily. Wang Zhong also felt that the conversation was almost over. After all, it was the first time they met today.
Enthusiasm is enthusiasm, but you should avoid going too far and not going too far. He nodded and asked the soldiers to escort him out in person. Then he turned to Zhang Zhao, smiled slightly and said: "Sir is here, please take a seat."
Zhang Zhao immediately prostrated himself and shouted: "I congratulate you, my lord!"
"Sir, what are you doing? Please get up quickly." Quanquan was startled at first, and then wondered: "Where does the joy come from?"
After insisting on completing the salute, Zhang Zhaocai stood up and pointed in the direction of the door with a smile: "My lord has won a tiger general, shouldn't he be happy? Shouldn't he be congratulated?"
"Oh?" Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Zhao with interest and joked: "I didn't expect that sir, not only is he well-read in poetry and books in literary affairs, but he also has such a brilliant vision in martial arts?"
"You can tell at a glance that Huang Zhong is a tiger general?"
"No." Zhang Zhao waved his hand and explained: "Of course I don't have such vision, but my lord does."
"My lord, he has a keen eye for observing people. He can tell at a glance whether he is a wise man or a fool, without any omissions!" Zhang Zhao paused and said with a smile, "Since he treated this person so politely, Zhao dared to conclude that this person must be the best person in the world.
Xiaohuye!"
"Haha." Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhao with admiration: "Today I know that Mr. Zibu is also a wonderful person."
As expected, those who are capable can do anything. People like Zhang Zhao, who have real talents, are so high in rank even if they flatter him.
"Huang Hansheng is indeed an enemy of ten thousand people." Wang Zheng nodded and said that Zhang Zhao had expected it: "This person took the initiative to surrender. I am indeed very happy, but it is a pity..." After saying this, he sighed.
tone.
"It's a good thing that talented people have come to invest. This is because my lord's reputation has spread far and wide." Zhang Zhao saw this and asked in surprise: "Why does he seem to be worried?"
After hearing this, Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Zhao and secretly complained in his heart.
What bothers me is that Huang Zhong, like you, has not joined the team!
The light projection effect is useless. The system can't be shut down. After all, I don't feel confident about using it. Alas.
And for Wang Zheng, Huang Zhong's "not joining" was even more frustrating than Zhang Zhaolai!
Because actually when he was on the street, Wang Zheng received the other party's application to join the team.
It was after he said that he would cut off his hair and take the place of head, coupled with the people's willingness, the atmosphere at that time was heightened to the extreme, when Huang Zhong said, "My Huang Zhong's life belongs to Zhou Mu from now on!" Perhaps,
He was also excited, and for a moment, his recognition of Wang Zheng reached the system's requirements, so he applied to join the team.
But...it really only takes a blink of an eye.
At that time, Wang Zheng was so shocked when he suddenly heard the name "Huang Zhong" that he only turned around to confirm whether this Huang Zhong was the other Huang Zhong, but did not immediately notice this extremely valuable application for joining the team.
More approval!
When he thought about it again later, he didn't know whether it was because Huang Zhong had calmed down, or what kind of thoughts he had...
There is no "then" anyway.
Wang Zheng is so angry!
Unwilling to give up, Wang Zheng took Huang Zhong back to his house. Wang Zheng was very showy and charming, and he deliberately tried to win over him.
As a result, from noon to night, the system failed to respond. Until Zhang Zhao came here, Wang Zheng had no choice but to give up temporarily.
Of course, the half-day effort was not wasted. At least Wang Zheng was able to sort out the causes and consequences of Huang Zhong's trip.
This Huang Zhong is indeed Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, one of the five tiger generals in history.
In the first year of Chuping, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian. Dong Zhuo sent a letter to Liu Biao to succeed him. However, because the Jiangnan clan was very popular at that time, Yuan Shu was stationed in Luyang and had all the people in Nanyang under his command. Su Dai, a Wu man, became the governor of Changsha.
Yu was the magistrate of Huarong County, and each militia controlled the local area. As a result, Liu Biao was unable to take office directly, so he rode into Jingzhou alone and anonymously.
After arriving in Yicheng, Liu Biao conspired with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue from Zhonglu County and Cai Mao from Xiangyang County, and then made a plan to commit crimes. In the autumn of that year, Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue to send people to lure five clan thieves.
Fifteen people ("Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records fifteen people) went to the banquet, killed them all, and attacked their tribesmen together.
Later, Liu Biao took advantage of the situation and controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County. In the process, Huang Zhong fought bravely, especially when he attacked Xiangyang, he made great achievements.
At that time, Xiangyang was defended by two Jiangxia thieves, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. The two thieves were fierce by nature. When Liu Biao's army first arrived at Xiangyang City, they took the initiative to attack, hoping to defeat Feng Rui before their foothold was stable, but the result was that they failed.
Huang Zhong rode alone into the battle, killed three of his generals, and retreated directly to the city.
Later, Huang Zhong's performance was even more exaggerated. He was the first to rush to the city in three sieges of the city, and his bravery surpassed the three armies. Seeing his performance, everyone in the Jiangxia bandits was frightened, but the morale of Liu Biao's army was greatly shaken.
The outer city of Xiangyang was captured in less than ten days!
With the power of victory, Liu Biao took the opportunity to send Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to persuade them to surrender. Seeing that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng could not do anything, they agreed to surrender and returned to Liu Biao's general Huang Zu.
It can be said that Huang Zhong took the greatest credit for being able to obtain Xiangyang so easily. Such a tiger general made Liu Biao greatly appreciate it. In addition, Liu Biao had just come to Jingzhou for the first time and lacked people around him. In the third year of Chuping, when Wang Zheng traveled through
In the year he came, Liu Biao promoted Huang Zhong in an unusual way, and promoted Huang Zhong from the third level of Dubolianyue to the rank of Zhonglang General.
If this development continues and Liu Biao really entrusts Huang Zhong with important responsibilities, then the fate of both Liu Biao and Huang Zhong may be completely different.
Liu Biao might not have spent more than ten years to defeat even a single Jiaozhou, and Huang Zhong might have become famous all over the world earlier.
But the result was that Liu Biao had just appointed Huang Zhong an official, and just when he was grateful and thought that he would finally meet the Ming Dynasty, someone informed Liu Biao of Huang Zhong's biggest shortcoming, and even thought that such a leapfrog promotion was extremely inappropriate.
What are Huang Zhong's shortcomings?
Origin!
Huang is a common surname in Jingzhou, and many famous people can be counted casually, such as Huang Zu, Huang Gai, and Huang Zhong. In 648 BC, after the Huangchuan Kingdom was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom, a small number of Huang people fled to central Henan, and a large number of people fled to central Henan.
Then they moved inland to the hinterland of Chu State and settled in Hubei and other places. From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, a large number of people with the Huang surname had moved to the Hubei area, and gradually formed eight Huang family counties including Jiangling and Jiangxia.
But with the same word "Huang", some people belong to aristocratic families, such as the Jiangxia Huang family, the representative Huang Wan, the great-grandfather was Shangshu Ling Huang Xiang, and the grandfather was Taiwei Huang Qiong.
Some people come from poor families, and at least their ancestors can be considered rich. For example, the Nanyang Huang family, the representative figure Huang Gai, and their ancestor Huang Zilian served as the prefect of Nanyang. Even if they lived a hard and poor life, they could serve as county officials as soon as they debuted, and were then inspected as filial and honest.
, was promoted to the official position.
Who is Huang Zhong’s ancestor? I don’t know, and the investigation is unreliable.
Then there is no need to ask, must it be a mud-legged person?
This is the real reason why Huang Zhong was unknown for the first half of his life!
His background is too low to be considered poor!
As a descendant of the clan, Liu Biao, a famous scholar in the world and one of the Eight Horsemen, also agreed with this point of view, and immediately regretted that he should not have given Huang Zhong such a high official on impulse.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Biao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately among the misfortunes, the general was now not very valuable.
In the traditional military system of the Han Dynasty, Zhonglang Jiang was actually a very high official rank, below the general but above the captain. Since generals were not often placed, they were only called generals who commanded the troops during wars. Therefore,
In peacetime, the highest official position that a general military attache can obtain is Zhonglang General, with a rank of "bierqianshi". He is in charge of the royal guard and is under the jurisdiction of Guang Luxun.
Of course, during the Three Kingdoms period, more and more people with military merits were awarded the title of general, and Zhonglangjiang became a middle- and lower-level officer position.
And what about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty now?
In fact, the gold content is also much less.
This is actually very easy to understand. In peacetime, there were relatively few wars. Everyone worked through seniority. There were only a few official positions, and very few people got them. However, after the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, due to the need for continuous military activities
, General Zhonglang, who was often sent to conquer and quell rebellions, naturally received a large number of awards and participated extensively in military activities.
Among them, Dong Zhuo was the first to make a bad start and showered the "Zhonglang General" with free money.
"Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of Dong Zhuo" records: "(Dong Zhuo) sent Dong Zhonglang General Dong Yue to garrison Lingchi, Zhonglang General Duan Xuan to garrison Huayin, Zhonglang General Niu Fu to garrison Anyi, and the remaining Zhonglang Generals and Xiaowei
Distributed in various counties to control Shandong."
In order to resist the allied forces of the Kwantung princes from attacking him, Dong Zhuo set up a large number of Zhonglang generals to be deployed in various counties to defend against the enemy. The number of Zhonglang generals at that time can be imagined. After that, various forces also accepted their fate in large numbers.
The subordinates will lead the troops for Zhonglang in the future to adapt to the needs of continuous military activities during this period, which will make Zhonglang quickly disperse in this period.
It was precisely because Dong Zhuo, an old friend who had recommended him, had set an example that Liu Biao regretted it and made a decision.
Huang Zhong and Liu Pan were ordered to garrison in You County, Changsha. In name, Huang Zhong, the lieutenant general, was the leader, and Liu Pan, the school captain, was the assistant. But in reality, it was not true.
Liu Pan is Liu Biao's servant. Can Huang Zhong order him? Does he dare to order him?
As soon as this appointment came out, it was like a basin of cold water poured directly on Huang Zhong's head. He was not stupid. How could he not see the intention behind Liu Biao's appointment? His original passion and ambition suddenly disappeared.
In the original history, Huang Zhong followed Liu Pan to You County obediently after being appointed. Fortunately, Liu Pan was easy to get along with, and he was also a warrior, so he respected Huang Zhong and never
What kind of shoes are you wearing? Not long after he was stationed, Huang Zhong also realized what was going on and took the initiative to apply to be transferred to the rank of Dian Nong Zhonglang General, directly giving up his military power.
This is also the reason why Taishi Ci was able to beat Liu Pan so easily that he was unable to fight back, because although Huang Zhong was in You County at this time, he did not care about military affairs at all. Otherwise, regardless of success or failure, if Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong
How could there be no record of a fight?
("Tai Shi Ci Biography": Liu Biao followed Zipan. He was so brave that he was numbered as a bandit in Ai and all the counties in Xi'an. So he divided Haizhen and built six counties on the left and right of Changchang. He made Ci the captain of Jianchang, governed Haizhen, and supervised all the counties in Xi'an.
The general will reject the Pan. The Pan will disappear and will no longer be a bandit.)
In the original history, all the princes in the world at that time were from the same aristocratic family as Liu Biao. Even relatively speaking, Liu Biao was still among the group with outstanding ability and reputation.
Since Liu Biao had a strong sense of family status and clearly knew that Huang Zhong's ability would not be reused, Huang Zhong naturally felt that other princes had no chance.
In this life, the sudden emergence of Wang Zheng gave Huang Zhong, who wasted his time in You County, hope.
Wang Zheng's status as a Yellow Turban bandit was a big negative in the eyes of other famous generals and celebrities, but certainly not in Huang Zhong's case.
Among all the famous generals in the Three Kingdoms, he was one of the few who had neither fought against the Yellow Turban bandits nor became famous by defeating the Yellow Turban bandits.
I am a fool and you are a bandit. Who looks down on the other?
When Wang Zheng became more and more powerful and became the lord of Xuzhou, Huang Zhong finally made up his mind.
He took the only and biggest adventure in his life.
Give up the false title of Zhonglang General, leave your hometown, and go to a young man thousands of miles away to fight for a good background!
