In the spring of 188 AD, that is, the fifth year of Zhongping, more than four years have passed since the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In the past four years, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been put down, dozens of large and small outbreaks have occurred in various places.
The rebellion brought the already riddled Han Dynasty to its end. Although these rebellions were eventually suppressed by officers and soldiers from various places, they forced the imperial court to decentralize military power, and warlords in various places also gradually
It grew stronger and escaped the control of the imperial court.
Since Luo Yang took advantage of Lu Zhi's favor and obtained an official position from He Jin, he has settled down in Luoyang City. Although the position of Luoyang Southern Lieutenant held by Luo Yang is the same as that held by Cao Cao in history.
The positions are the same, but Luo Yang does not use the five-color stick as much as Cao Cao. Apart from going to the official residence every day to check in, as long as nothing happens, Luo Yang stays at Chu Gong's house honestly. And because of the Yellow Turban
Because the Rebellion had just ended, rebellions had broken out all over the years, and the dignitaries in Luoyang City did not dare to cause trouble. Therefore, except for some minor frictions, Luoyang, the Nanfang Lieutenant, did it very easily.
What makes Luo Yang a little disappointed is that as a member of a poor family and a small subordinate, he really means nothing under the emperor's feet. Before, Luo Yang planned to dig out a few useful talents while he was in Luoyang, but he was everywhere.
After hitting a wall, those children from aristocratic families naturally looked down on Luo Yang, and those children from poor families were more willing to rely on those families. No one wanted to follow Luo Yang. After hitting a wall several times, Luo Yang gave up and seemed to want talents.
Being willing to surrender is impossible without strength!
The only thing that comforted Luo Yang was that Guo Jia, who was fooled by Luo Yang, did not leave Luo Yang. Instead, he lived in Chu Gong's house. Although he did not formally surrender to Luo Yang, it also made Luo Yang feel at ease.
.
Speaking of Guo Jia, what surprised Luo Yang was that the friend Guo Jia wanted to visit before was actually Xun Yu, who was later praised by Cao Cao as "my son-in-law"! This is a talent that is not inferior to Guo Jia! It's just Xun Yu.
As a descendant of the Xun family, a big family, it is of course impossible for him to follow Luo Yang, a small lieutenant like Guo Jia. Even when Guo Jia introduced Luo Yang, he was a little disdainful of Luo Yang.
Since everyone has this attitude, Luo Yang doesn't have to use his hot face to stick to others' cold buttocks. However, after what happened with Xun Yu, Luo Yang also stopped thinking about looking for talents everywhere and patiently waited for the ten talents in history.
The arrival of Changshi's Rebellion.
Of course, during this period, Luo Yang did not do anything. Taking advantage of the uprisings in various places, Luo Yang also asked Wenpin to often go to Fenghuang Mountain to find Liu Pi and Gong Du to convey his orders in the past few years.
, Liu Pi and Gong Du also led the army to fight several battles extremely secretly. On the one hand, they allowed the army to get enough training in the battle. On the other hand, they also expanded the size of the army a lot. Now Phoenix
The army on the mountain already has more than 50,000 people, and it has also taken in many non-combatants to reclaim wasteland on Phoenix Mountain, basically making the army self-sufficient.
The most recent time, both Liu Pi and Gong led their armies to quietly bypass Nanyang and fight in Runan. However, they managed to get ahead of the officers and soldiers and wiped out the remaining Yellow Turbans in Runan and surrendered 3,000 Yellow Turbans.
military.
After listening to Wenpin's description of the battle in the study, Luo Yang narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the remaining Yellow Turban Army in Runan should be the Yellow Turban Army that once robbed Guan Yu in history.
The remnants of the army! If this is the case, then there should be a few people in this yellow scarf army. Luo Yang immediately asked: "Are there any special people among the traitors who surrendered?"
Wenpin was just about to say this, but when Luo Yang took the initiative to mention it, Wenpin couldn't help but was stunned, and then immediately replied: "Sir! You are really amazing! There are two good talents who surrendered this time.
, one is named Pei Yuanshao, and the other is named Zhou Cang. I heard from Liu Pi that these two guys were once the personal guards of the bandit leader Zhang Bao, and their martial arts skills are very impressive! I have also competed with them, and the one named Pei Yuanshao's skills and
I'm about the same, but the one named Zhou Cang is probably a little better than me!"
Sure enough, it was Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang! Luo Yang suddenly became excited. Among the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhou Cang might be ranked in the top three in terms of martial arts, and might even be more powerful than Guan Hai! Although Pei Yuanshao is in history
He just passed by in a hurry, and was later killed by Zhao Yun, but he was able to call Zhou Cang brothers, which shows that his skills are not that bad! The three thousand Yellow Turban Army is nothing. To surrender these two people, for
For Luo Yang, who is now in dire need of talents, this is a real joy!
Seeing Luo Yang's happy face, Wenpin also came over and said hehe: "Sir! When are we going back to Nanyang?" After staying in Luoyang for these years, Wenpin had already lost his original freshness and looked at Liu Pi.
He and Gong are leading soldiers and horses to fight everywhere, and Wenpin is very jealous now. Every time Luo Yang sends him to Fenghuang Mountain to deliver orders, Wenpin has to make excuses to stay there for a while. What Wenpin hopes most now is to be able to
Leave Luoyang and return to Nanyang. Then you will be able to truly lead troops to fight!
Hearing Wenpin's question, Luo Yang squinted his eyes and looked out the window, and said calmly: "Don't worry! It's soon! It's soon!"
It's coming soon! Now it's the fifth year of Zhongping, and He Jin and the eunuchs are fighting more and more fiercely, but now there is still Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty suppressing them. When Liu Hong dies next year, the two factions will
It’s a shame! The Shichangshi Rebellion is about to happen in more than a year! At that time, Luo Yang will officially leave Luoyang!
"Brother Zihui! Brother Zihui!"
A call came from outside the study, and Luo Yangdang turned around and winked at Wenpin. Wenpin immediately understood and retreated directly from the side door. Wenpin always acted in secret every time he went to Nanyang.
, The army on Phoenix Mountain was Luo Yang’s secret, and Luo Yang did not dare to let others know it at will. After Wenpin exited, Luo Yang straightened his clothes, walked straight out of the main entrance, and shouted: "Fengxiao!
I'm here!"
In the yard outside the study, I saw a thin young man carrying a wine gourd, swaying in circles in the yard, shouting while circling, it was the man who was brought back by Luo Yang four years ago.
Guo Jia. Hearing Luo Yang's voice, Guo Jia stopped, looked around, and finally saw Luo Yang standing at the door of the study. He immediately laughed and said: "Haha! Brother Zihui!
I finally found you! Come on, come on! It’s just the wine that I just got from Zuixian Tower! Let’s have a drink!”
Luo Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Guo Jia was drunk again. Dang even stepped forward to support Guo Jia and said, "I said Feng Xiao! It's broad daylight now! Why are you so drunk?"
"Hey! What's the difference between day and night when drinking?" Guo Jia burped, waved his hand with a dissatisfied look on his face, put the wine gourd to his mouth, and took another big gulp. "I want to say.
The wine of this Zuixian Restaurant is really good! This Zuixian Restaurant has been able to stay in Luoyang City for so many years, so it certainly has some capital! It’s a pity that the price of this restaurant is too expensive!”
Luo Yang shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the source of money now. Not to mention anything else, just some money sent from Phoenix Mountain was enough for Luo Yang to invest in buying ten Zuixian Towers. It was enough.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to support a little drunkard like Guo Jia. The daily drinking money alone would be enough for an average person to live for a year! However, Luo Yang didn't care much about the money. He was able to tie Guo Jia to his account.
What does the money for drinks mean? What bothers Luo Yang the most is that Guo Jia is so drunk every day, but it has no effect at all!
"Okay! Stop drinking! Fortunately, Mr. Chu has not been in Luoyang in the past few years. If he sees you like this, he will call you a bloody bitch!" Luo Yang watched Guo Jia still drink one mouthful after another.
While drinking, I couldn't help but scold him.
Hearing Luo Yang talk about Chu Gong, although Guo Jia was already drunk, he couldn't help but shudder. The person Guo Jia is most afraid of now is the man who has been appointed as the prefect of Wuling and rushed to Jingzhou to take up the post.
Chu Gong. When Chu Gong was still in Luoyang, every time he saw Guo Jia drinking, he would always pull Guo Jia and lecture him non-stop. In Guo Jia’s words, even if Chu Gong beat him with a wooden stick
A meal is better than having him nagging and preaching like this!
During the time when Chu Gong was around, Guo Jia really curbed his drinking problem a lot. After Chu Gong left, Guo Jia started to relapse into his old ways again. However, when Luo Yang was heard talking about Chu Gong, Guo Jia
I'm still a little scared. Recently, every time Luo Yang uses Chu Gong's name to scare Guo Jia, it has a very good effect, and he always succeeds every time.
Sure enough, being frightened by Luo Yang using Chu Gong's name really woke up Guo Jia from his drunkenness. He curled his lips, pushed Luo Yang away, and muttered: "You are really boring!
I'm too lazy to talk to you! I'm going to bed!" Although he said so, Guo Jia did not dare to drink more. Instead, he plugged the stopper of the wine gourd and muttered,
Just ran away.
Luo Yang shook his head helplessly and looked at the sky. It was soon time to close the city gate. As a captain, he had the responsibility to be there to supervise the closing of the city gate. He glanced at Guo Jia's back and looked at his steps.
After confirming that there was no need to worry about him not being able to find his room, he put on his official robes with confidence and left the Chu Mansion directly for the southern gate of Luoyang City, which was under his jurisdiction.
