Chapter 164: Recruiting Gan Ning to train troops and kidnap people
Liu Zhang looked at Gan Ning for a long time, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Xingba, I remember you seem to be the governor of Shu County! What do you mean, no prince dares to use you?"
"Master Liu Yan?" Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Master Liu is indeed good! It's a pity that he is too old. If he were thirty years younger, I would be loyal to him, and I am not familiar with his son, so as not to make a secret move.
, let’s talk about it later!”
"Actually, Sir Liu Yan's son is quite good!" Liu Zhang drank a bowl of wine and glared at Dian Wei and Zhao Yun who were laughing on the side.
Gan Ning laughed and said: "If he is Lord Liu Yan's son, he is half as good as Brother Ji Yu, and I will immediately take my brothers to join him!"
"Is this true? If I were a prince, would Xingba be willing to surrender?" Liu Zhang's eyes were burning, staring at him, which made Gan Ning panic.
"Seriously!" Gan Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Who doesn't want to make great achievements? Do I just want to be so ignorant? There are not many princes in the world who can be respected by me!"
"Xingba! Gather your troops and follow me to Chengdu!" Liu Zhang patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "From today on, you will be my captain!"
"Are you really Liu Yan's son?" Gan Ning had already guessed Liu Zhang's identity, but he was not sure.
"I am Guang Luxun, the hussar general who leads Bingzhou Mu, and the champion Hou Liu Zhang." Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Recently, I was helping my father, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, sort out the affairs in the state. Suddenly I saw Xingba's information, and I couldn't bear it.
The pearl is covered in dust, so I came here to meet you. I didn’t want to fall in love with Xingba and stayed there for two months! Now I will return to Chengdu. If Xingba doesn’t give up, how about you follow me and serve the Han Dynasty?”
"My lord, I will not give up. I would rather work like a dog or a horse!" Gan Ning was deeply moved, and he immediately bowed down and bowed down.
Gan Ning's character was like this. When others treated him respectfully, he would fall in love with him and be willing to go through fire and water for him. Now that Liu Zhang is surrendering to him as a state shepherd, a clan relative, and a hussar general, how could Gan Ning remain unmoved?
? You must know that Gan Ning has always been despised by others because of his perverse behavior. Even his father was quite unhappy. If Gan Ning was not the only direct descendant of the Gan family, his father would have given up on him long ago.
Since Gan Ning worshiped Liu Zhang as his lord, he immediately summoned the young men who usually wandered with him. Excluding those who did not want to go to Chengdu with Gan Ning, there were still more than 800 people. Liu Zhang ordered Gan Ning to lead these 800 people into an independent battalion.
, named: "Jin Sail". From then on, all the warships under Gan Ning's command used Shu brocade as their sails, with either tigers or flying bears embroidered on them!
Taking Gan Ning back to Chengdu, Liu Hong had been dead for more than a month, Liu Bian successfully ascended the throne as emperor, and He Lingsi also became the queen mother. Just when He Jin and Shi Changshi were in trouble, the two states were merged.
It was extremely peaceful. As for He Jin's edict to invite foreign ministers to Beijing, Liu Zhang had long used it as a rag.
Of course, Liu Zhang was not idle. After obtaining the food and fodder from Yizhou, he began to organize his troops again. First, Liu Zhang divided the Huben Camp into two parts. One part was still the Huben Camp, led by Huang Zhong, with Huang Xu as deputy general, and the other part was handed over to the Huben Camp.
He was given the command of Guan Yu, with Zhou Cang as his deputy, and another battalion was formed, named Qinglong Guard. The two armies each had 20,000 men. Then Liu Zhang, also known as Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning expanded the Jinfan Camp and the Huwei Camp to 20,000. Liu Zhang then
There are five troops and 100,000 troops.
Of course, although there were many men and horses, their combat effectiveness was reduced. Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren to be responsible for training in Chengdu, and asked Zhao Lei to rush to Jinyang to recruit soldiers and train men and horses. As for Liu Yan's original generals, Liu Zhang captured all their troops.
They were eliminated and trained uniformly. All Yizhou generals were required to participate in the training, with Zhang Ren as the instructor. Anyone who failed to pass the test would be kicked out of the Yizhou Army.
This big move took four months to achieve initial results. Jia Long, the former subordinate of Liu Yan, was dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's monopoly, so he left the Yizhou Army and his whereabouts are unknown. There is also a man named Zhao Wei, who was
Gan Ning had conflicts, and he could not see Liu Zhang reusing Gan Ning, so he left with Jia Long. From then on, Liu Zhang finally took full control of Yibin and the two states.
"Report to my lord, Mr. Guo has invited you!" Liu Zhang was handling military affairs in the military camp. A small school found him. Liu Zhang immediately followed the small school to see Guo Jia.
"See my lord! There is news from Luoyang!" Seeing Liu Zhang, Guo Jia immediately took out a piece of information from his arms and handed it over. It turned out that Guo Jia was ordered by Liu Zhang to rely on Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and the Mi family to establish the
An intelligence agency. The name of the intelligence agency has not yet been officially established.
After receiving the information, Liu Zhang read it carefully. Gradually, his smiling face became colder and colder. By the time he finished reading the information, his face turned blue. Seeing that Liu Zhang's expression was wrong, Guo Jia asked carefully
: "Lord, what happened?"
"You haven't seen it?" Liu Zhang asked coldly.
Guo Jia nodded, and Liu Zhang suppressed the anger in his heart and handed him the information. After reading it, Guo Jia was shocked and said: "How dare Dong Zhongying'an do this?"
"Not only did he dare, he also did it!" Liu Zhang said angrily: "Fengxiao, you write and listen to my dictation."
"Yes!" Guo Jia laid out the cloth, dipped his brush in ink, and nodded to Liu Zhang.
"Dong Zhuo!" Liu Zhang said coldly: "No matter how outrageous you are in Luoyang, I will give you one month to send Queen Mother He, Liu Bian, Tang Concubine, and Princess Wannian to Yizhou, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"This..." Guo Jiabi was confused. After he finished writing, he looked at Liu Zhang in surprise. You must know that Dong Zhuo was now the prime minister, and Liu Zhang actually spoke in a commanding tone. If Dong Zhuo really sent Queen Mother He a few
Man, what dignity does he have?
Guo Jia said hesitantly: "My lord, are you being polite? After all, Dong Zhuo is the prime minister and holds the lives of Queen Mother He and others!"
"Fengxiao thinks that if I am polite, Dong Zhuo will give up the Queen Mother He and others?" Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Give him three points of color, and he will definitely open a dyeing workshop! Just write it like this! I will make Dong Zhuo afraid to do anything to him.
How about Queen Mother He!"
"What are you going to do, my lord?" Guo Jia was very confused.
"I heard that Dong Zhuo's family is still in Liangzhou. I just ordered Zhang Fei to lead the Overlord Cavalry and follow me for a while!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If we seize Dong Zhuo's wife, sons and daughters, even if Dong Zhuo refuses to submit, we can guarantee the Queen Mother He."
He won’t wait for everyone’s safety, right?”
Guo Jia finished the letter and sent it to Luoyang. After leaving the governor's office, Liu Zhang immediately called Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, ordered the Overlord to ride towards Liangzhou.
Six days later, at the dawn of Longxi, a cavalry group broke the tranquility of dusk. The person who came was none other than Liu Zhang.
"Enemy attack!" Linzhao City was in panic, and the gate slowly closed. If the city gate was closed, even though Liu Zhang had 20,000 cavalry, he would have no choice but to return in defeat.
"Fuck me!" shouted loudly. Dian Wei, holding both halberds, was the first to jump onto the suspension bridge and rushed to the city gate. The soldiers who were closing the door had never seen such a ferocious evil man. They were frightened and shouted.
The soldiers ignored the city gate and dispersed with a roar. Dian Wei cut off the rope of the suspension bridge, and Liu Zhang did not even pause and rushed directly into the city.
"How to get to Dong Zhuo's mansion?" The city gate guard had been caught by Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei pinched his neck and asked. The city gate guard couldn't even breathe, how could he answer, Zhang Fei was furious
Next, he added a little more force.
"Yide, he is almost dead!" Looking at the city gate guard who was already rolling his eyes, Liu Zhang looked helpless.
"Uh..." Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and quickly let go of his hand. The city gate guard fell to the ground and breathed in the air.
"Why don't you tell me quickly?" Zhang Fei stretched out his hand again when he saw that the city gate guard was only concentrating on breathing.
"Don't! I say!" the city gate guard said in horror: "Go left from here, cross the alley, turn right, and then..."
"That's a long way to go! Lead the way!" Liu Zhang was a little impatient. Zhang Fei put the guard under his arm and rode his horse forward to lead the way. Under the guidance of the guard, Liu Zhang and others finally arrived at the Dong Mansion, and the poor
The guard has been pinned to death by Zhang Fei.
"Who are you? Do you know where this place is!" Seeing the army, the slaves of the Dong family were not afraid at all, and actually dared to step forward and point at Liu Zhang and scold him.
"Tell all Dong Zhuo's family members to come out!" Liu Zhang sneered: "If there is one missing, I will kill everyone in the Dong family, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
"How brave... uh..." Just as one of the slaves was about to scold him, Dian Wei twisted his head off.
"May I ask this general, who are you?" An old woman in her eighties or nineties with a full head of white hair walked out with the support of several female relatives. Liu Zhang knew without asking that this old lady must be Dong Zhuo
's mother.
"Mrs. Dong has invited you!" Liu Zhang bowed and saluted: "This is the champion Liu Zhang!"
"My son often said that the champion is a young hero. Why are you embarrassing us women and children today?" Dong Zhuo's mother was a very good person. She was decisive in killing when she was young. Although she is surrounded by heavy siege now, she is still very calm.
"I don't want to embarrass you!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo used to be my subordinate. Although we have no friendship, we have a sense of comrades. Now he is doing big things in Luoyang, and I don't want to interfere with him.
, and didn't bother to care. The Queen Mother He was so kind to me, so Dong Zhuo deposed her, so that was all. But Dong Zhuo actually insulted her, and even insulted my niece who was only 28 years old! This is intolerable, but what is unacceptable?
Bear with me! Therefore, I would like to invite Mrs. Dong’s family to be my guests! If Dong Zhuo dares to bully my widowed sister-in-law again, then I’m sorry!”
"You can forgive the evil you do by God, but you can't live if you do it yourself!" Mrs. Dong sighed: "It seems that I have no choice!"
"Don't worry, old lady!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I just want to exchange a few of them for my widowed sister-in-law and nephew. As long as Dong Zhuo abides by his duty, I don't want to go against him. After all, Dong Zhuo is Zhou Gong or Wang Mang.
do not know yet!"
"Can you please allow me and others to pack a few clothes?" Seeing that Liu Zhang was easy to talk to, Mrs. Dong wanted to delay time.
"Okay!" Liu Zhang had long seen a slave running to report the news. If he hadn't let him go, how could the slave have escaped? Since he came to capture Dong Zhuo's family members, he wanted Dong Zhuo to know, otherwise why would Dong Zhuo throw a rat weapon?
