89, Incorporated (a chapter for the leader Brighton)
Zhang Rao
Hero title: "Yuyu"
Talent: Gathering Crowds
Looking at the new applications for joining the team that appeared on the system, Wang Zheng fell into deep thought.
Regardless of whether it is an enemy or a friend, or a third-party bystander like Xu He.
Everyone actually doesn't know one thing.
When envoys were sent from Zhangrao into Guangrao County.
The first thought that popped into Wang Zheng's mind was to kill!
It was a fierce killing intent that wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Not just because the other party secretly covets his own strength and gains.
More importantly, this Qu Commander Zhang Rao was once Wang Zheng's superior and leader.
In this era, status is very important.
Even if they were once masters and subordinates, in a sense, there is still a distinction between the two parties.
The other party is the master, and I am the servant.
What's more, they are both under the same power as the Yellow Turbans.
Since today's royal government is determined to rebel, and even future heroes of the Three Kingdoms like Cao Cao and Liu Bei have no intention of surrendering, how can they tolerate others sleeping soundly on their own beds?
Only names and tools can be used, and no fake people can be used.
Even if it's a puppet, even if it's just in name.
Wang Zheng will never allow such a thing to happen.
Taking history as a guide, we can see the ups and downs.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang drowned King Xiao Ming, and Xiang Yu killed King Huai of Chu.
These two things made Wang Zheng understand a truth.
Either don't do it, or do it early.
It was precisely in order to kill Zhang Rao that Wang Zhengcai made the decision to go into battle with only the Tianzhu Battalion and Tiangang Army within the system.
It was not because he was arrogant and looked down upon Dong Lin and his subordinates.
But while Wang Zheng wanted to deal with Dong Lin and Zhang Rao at once, he also hoped that there would be no additional variables that would leak any of the prosperity.
He is nothing more than a bandit, and then he is known as a lord killer...
But it's really notorious.
Of course, Wang Zheng himself was indeed confident enough. Even if his four thousand troops attacked Dong Lin and Zhang Rao at the same time, the chances of winning would still be high.
According to Wang Zheng's estimation, Zhang Rao's idea was nothing more than to be the fisherman who profited when the snipe and the clam were fighting.
In this case, then divide the troops into two groups, one to attack the officers and soldiers, and the other to intercept Zhang Rao.
After several battles, especially the final head-on battle with Yu Jin's three thousand infantry, Wang Zheng had a clearer judgment on the combat power of the first- and second-tier units in his system.
Even if the equipment is still inferior, the normal combat strength should be slightly better than the elite divisions of the current separatist heroes.
If factors such as morale and loyalty are included, the second-tier soldiers are no better than some ace battalions.
Such as the tiger and leopard cavalry, the trapped camp, the white horse and the Yi Cong, these powerful armies have left their names in the history books.
The result was just as Wang Zheng expected.
The battle against the officers and soldiers was naturally successful, and the victory was easier than expected.
The Tiangang troops brought by Xu Fang also found Zhang Rao's troops and completed the interception.
Now Wang Zheng felt confident.
After the great victory, his own momentum was like a rainbow and his army was at its peak. He was sure that the opponent was timid and guilty and did not dare to fight, so he would inevitably seek peace.
Xu Fang also saw this and sent Wu Niu as an envoy. He was not fluent in words, but only made his army more arrogant.
When he received the news that Zhang Rao was coming from his family camp, Wang Zheng had already thought of the follow-up and an excuse.
Once the other party enters the account, he will start to stir up trouble. As long as the words are slightly inconsistent, he will have an excuse to take action directly!
What more 500 swordsmen are needed?
A few third-level soldiers around him can surround him and kill him at will.
only...
Wang Zheng had guessed a lot of Zhang Rao's reactions, a lot of words, and even simulated a lot of scenes...
With these words alone, the scene where the other party bowed his head and bowed was really unexpected.
And that scream like a cuckoo weeping blood...
The great virtuous teacher is back...
Wang Zheng was a little bit dumbfounded.
Just like at the beginning of the rebellion, the ghost of this sage who has been dead for many years is still lingering...
Although, both times it brought me surprises...
At this time, Wang Zheng's eyes were wandering around, and his divine light was restrained. In the eyes of others, he looked as calm as water and showed no anger.
Wu Sheng and others didn't know what their general was thinking, so they remained silent. At the same time, they looked at Zhang Rao with different expressions.
Wang Zheng did not speak, and Zhang Rao remained kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
Behind him, Zhao Hong stood awkwardly, his eyes rolling around for a long time, still confused.
He neither understood the motive of Qu Shuai's actions nor the meaning of Wang Zheng's silence.
At this time, Xu He, the real outsider in the court, looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.
As soon as Zhang Rao entered the account, he already recognized the other party.
The Yellow Turban Uprising in Qingzhou was actually the simultaneous rise of seven or eight forces within the territory.
Xu He and Zhang Rao were both commanders of their respective forces, and they had dealt with each other many times.
At that time, Zhang Rao was the most powerful and had many people under his command. When the Yellow Turbans from all sides decided to form an alliance to resist the officers and soldiers, he naturally became the leader and representative of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
Thinking about how high-spirited the other party was back then, seeing him now so downcast and humble.
Xu He was filled with emotions and his expression was a little complicated.
After all, he was once the overlord of one side. After waiting for a long time and seeing Wang Zheng still not saying a word, he thought he was deliberately humiliating Zhang Rao, thinking of the friendship between the two sides fighting side by side.
Finally I couldn't help but speak and wanted to plead for him:
"General Tiangong..."
"Yes." After being reminded by a word, Wang Zheng finally woke up from his thoughts. With a thought, he approved Zhang Rao's application. Then he looked at the other party and said warmly:
"Commander Qu, why do you need to give me such a big gift? Please get up and talk."
As he spoke, he walked towards Zhang Rao.
After hearing this, Zhang Rao still did not stand up. Instead, he lowered his head and walked forward on his knees until he was in front of Wang Zheng and kowtowed to the ground again.
The sound of "bang" is endless.
"General Tiangong, Zhang Rao is guilty."
"I have actually thought about questioning the general's identity before."
"Having ever thought of being disloyal is a crime worthy of death."
"I hope that from now on I can serve the general as well as I can and give me the opportunity to make my merits equal to my faults!"
That's almost it.
Wang Zheng was speechless. The other party's behavior had gone too far.
If there was no systematic verification, if other people saw this, they would not only not feel that the other party was sincere in their words, but would instead become suspicious.
"You also said it, that was before."
Wang Zheng stepped forward, took Zhang Rao's arms and used a little force to lift him up directly.
He gently patted Zhang Rao's lapel.
As the dust shook off, Wang Zheng's words rang out:
"You haven't met me before, so it doesn't matter what you have in mind."
"Those who don't know are not guilty. Since you are willing to join me, the previous misunderstandings will be wiped out."
"Well, I have a military system under my command, but I don't have the position of Commander-in-Chief."
"In this way, you will be Major Zhang Rao from now on."
"Your 10,000 troops will be under your control for the time being."
"promise"
Zhang Rao agreed solemnly, then looked at Xu He, nodded slightly as if to thank him for his help, and then stood aside quietly.
Seeing that his handsome man was like this, Zhao Hong walked over helplessly without saying a word, but there were a series of question marks in his mind.
