Chapter 86 The angel arrives to demand a bribe from Zuo Feng
After walking out of the meeting hall, Huangfusong looked at Zhu Jun with some confusion and asked: "Gongwei, what happened to you just now? I haven't seen you so talkative before?"
Zhu Jun wiped the cold sweat off his head and said: "Yizhen, we have known each other for almost twenty years. You don't really think I'm stupid, do you? You didn't see just now that the guard holding the sword next to the champion looked like he was watching The murderous aura on a dead man must have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The champion's hand was also on the sword. I dare say that if I just said one more word, we would have to explain today. This is it!”
Huangfusong was shocked after hearing Zhu Jun's words. In fact, he didn't believe that Liu Zhang really dared to kill them. He stood up to persuade, but he just didn't want to expand the conflicts in the army. But he never expected that Liu Zhang would be so bold. However, Thinking about it again, Huangfu Song felt relieved. The champion Hou dared to use 20,000 troops to challenge Wuwan's more than 100,000 troops, and he also dared to lead 8,000 troops straight to Wuhuan Mountain, causing the entire Wuwan Palace to be in chaos. Jump. Now that he is sitting in the position of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, killing two generals is no small matter! Huangfusong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is the first time in so many years that I have been threatened like this!"
"Alas!" Zhu Jun sighed and said: "To be honest, you still have the eyes. If you hadn't stopped me in time, maybe I would have been captured by the champion! Since the champion wants this credit, we will Give it to him! It will also save you from being feared by the court!"
Huangfu Song said with a smile: "That's right. You don't listen to anyone's orders. If you lose, you will have a champion to support you. Even if you win, you can still drink some soup. This is a good deal!"
"Why do you look like a profiteer? Could it be that you have a lot of contacts with the Wei family?" Zhu Jun looked at Huangfu Song's treacherous face and felt dumbfounded.
"Shh!" Huangfu Song quickly made a gesture of silence and said: "It's not like you don't know that our Marquis and the Wei family have a deep hatred. If he hears it, I will be in trouble!"
Zhu Jun laughed and said: "You know how to be afraid! Don't worry, the champion will not destroy your Huangfu family!"
"If I want to destroy you, I must destroy your Zhu family first!" Huangfu Song punched Zhu Jun on the shoulder. The two of them relaxed their hearts and prepared to go to the city to have some drinks to celebrate, but they didn't know what they wanted to celebrate.
After Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song left, Liu Zhang called on Guo Jia and others to continue studying strategies to deal with the Yellow Turbans. Of course, Liu Zhang already had a plan in mind, because he remembered that in history, although Bo Cai had taken the initiative, he had no war experience, and was defeated by Huangfu. Song and Zhu Jun lost all their previous efforts in a fire. How could Liu Zhang not use such a clever plan? However, the plan is a good plan, but if you want to use fire to attack Zan Bocai's hundreds of thousands of troops, this plan must be very sophisticated! Don't look at it. There is only one sentence recorded in the history books, how many brain cells it cost Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang came, and these brain cells were consumed only by Guo Jia and Xi Zhi!
"Report!" A voice interrupted the discussion between Liu Zhang, Guo Jia and others, making Liu Zhang very unhappy. Couldn't we discuss a countermeasure today?
Liu Zhang, who was a little depressed, opened the door and saw a primary school student kneeling at the door. Liu Zhang asked coldly: "Tell me! What's the matter?"
The primary school student said very respectfully: "To the champion, an angel is coming!"
"Angel?" Liu Zhang was a little depressed. Liu Hong had obviously promised him not to send anyone to look for trouble, so why did an angel come again? However, since he was here, Liu Zhang naturally wanted to see him. This is respect for the emperor!
When they came to the hall, they saw a small Huangmen sitting there, with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun standing aside with their hands bowed. But as soon as Liu Zhang appeared, Xiao Huangmen immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Zuo Feng has seen the champion. Mr. Zhang asked me to ask about Mr. Hou’s well-being!”
"Lord Zuo, you are so polite!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of me, Lord Zhang. I wonder how well Lord Zhang and Your Majesty are doing recently?"
"Of course it's fine!" Zuo Feng said with a smile: "Since the champion sent out troops, there have been consecutive battles and victories. Although your majesty and Mr. Zhang still miss Yingchuan, their worries have gone away a lot. The official is serving. Your Majesty and Mr. Zhang have ordered us to reward the champion. Please accept the order from the champion!"
As soon as Zuo Feng shouted to accept the order, Liu Zhang immediately knelt down and saluted. Liu Hong's order was nothing. He just praised Liu Zhang fiercely, and then repeatedly declared Liu Zhang's control over the conquest of the Yellow Turbans, and then gave some rewards. For these Liu Zhang They didn't care much, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were depressed. They were fighting to the death but were not as good as Liu Zhang and his party, which made the two old generals feel very embarrassed.
After reading out the decree, Zuo Feng quickly helped Liu Zhang up and said: "Master Marquis, Mr. Zhang originally wanted to give the Marquis an official title. But after thinking about it, the Marquis is only sixteen years old this year. Although he started his career in the military, he was After all, too soon, the foundation is not stable, so I asked your majesty for this imperial edict, and asked the marquis to forgive me!"
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "What are you talking about, Mr. Zuo! How could I not know Mr. Zhang's love and care? If you talk like this again, I will be angry!"
"It's my fault!" Zuo Feng and Liu Zhang laughed loudly, like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
"That's right!" Liu Zhang suddenly asked: "When will Mr. Zuo plan to go back?"
"Uh... I have to go to Jizhou to announce the decree!" Zuo Feng didn't understand what Liu Zhang meant, but Liu Zhang asked and he had nothing to hide.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Master Zuo must pass by the capital before going to Jizhou. I have some local products that I would like to ask you to bring to Your Majesty and Master Zhang. Of course, Master Zuo also has a share among them!"
Zuo Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although Zhang Rang had told him not to ask for anything from Liu Zhang, he could not refuse it if Liu Zhang offered it. Zuo Feng smiled and said, "Then I will thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"You're welcome!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Master Zuo, if you are free, you can stay in Changshe for a few more days. Let the officials of Changshe honor you!"
"This...respect is better than obeying orders!" Zuo Feng was very excited. He thought that with Zhang Rang's care, he would gain nothing by risking his life to come to Changsha, but now it seems that he should have gained a lot. Liu Zhang not only took the initiative He paid tribute and allowed him to raid the Changshe officials. How could Zuo Feng be unhappy?
Zuo Feng was happy, but Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked depressed. They thought that with Liu Zhang, they would not need to bribe Zuo Feng, but who would have thought that Liu Zhang would do so brilliantly. Zuo Feng had already said that he would not bribe, but Liu Zhang actually asked He stayed to scrape the land. Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were not poor, they were not rich either. Zuo Feng was not a mosquito, but a devil who knocked on bones and sucked marrow!
Liu Zhang looked at Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, whose faces were a little green, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He left Zuo Feng to kill the prestige of these two people, so that they would not think that they were superior all day long. Since Liu Zhang took charge of the army, no one has dared to do so. Breaking into his meeting hall! Now that Zuo Feng is here to extort money, why should he owe Liu Zhang a favor and take the benefits from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun? You know, he, Liu, is here to rob military glory!
After everyone left, Xi Zhi asked Liu Zhang: "My lord, isn't it bad for you to offend General Huangfu and General Zhu like this? They are the generals of the Han Dynasty after all!"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "It would be bad if my lord really helped Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song!"
"How do you say this?" Xi Zhicai looked at Guo Jia in confusion.
Guo Jiadao: "My lord has made great achievements by conquering Karasuma. This time he conquers the Yellow Turbans, which is a must-win situation. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my lord's reputation will surely resound throughout the Han Dynasty..."
"His great achievements shocked the Lord?!" Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's face changed drastically.
"Exactly!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "If the lord has great achievements, has close contacts with other generals, and the father of the lord is also the governor, what do you think the emperor will do to the lord?"
"This..." There were dense beads of sweat on Xi Zhicai's head. Of course, this was also because it was mid-May and summer was gradually approaching.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "So the lord must keep a distance from the leading generals and establish a good relationship with the ten permanent servants. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, the lord can use the ten permanent servants to come and go and be a prince, and wait. The real troubled times are coming!”
Guo Jia's words made Xi Zhicai suddenly enlightened. Of course, this does not mean that Xi Zhicai is incompetent, but that calculating people's hearts is not Xi Zhicai's strong point. After all, Guo Jia is Liu Zhang's mastermind, but Xi Zhicai is not. In charge of all the logistical work of Liu Zhang's troops. Xi Zhicai is Liu Zhang's Xiao He!
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun cursed Liu Zhang and Zuo Feng in their hearts, and gave Zuo Feng a heavy gift with smiles on their faces. They heard that the gold alone would cost two or three thousand taels. When the class teacher returned to the court, there would be another heavy gift. Xie. Zuo Feng made a lot of money by eating, drinking and taking cards. When he was satisfied, he wanted to leave Changshe and go to Julu.
Just when Zuo Feng was about to leave, Liu Zhang found him. Seeing Liu Zhang, Zuo Feng was like seeing his biological parents. Although Liu Zhang couldn't stand Zuo Feng's enthusiasm, he still tried his best to keep Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng didn't Silly, when he saw that Liu Zhang was trying to stay in this way, there must be something important, so he said bluntly: "Champion Marquis, no matter from Mr. Zhang's point of view, or from our friendship, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Liu Zhang smiled mysteriously and said: "There will be a good show in Changshe in a few days. I would like to ask Mr. Zuo to watch it before leaving. What do you think?"
"This..." Zuo Feng said hesitantly: "I wonder what kind of excitement it is?"
"Don't worry!" Liu Zhang patted Zuo Feng on the shoulder and said, "Of course it is very beautiful and lively! After watching it, you will be safe on your way back to the capital from Changshe!"
Zuo Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that the Marquis is preparing to deal with Bo Cai?"
"Hush!" Liu Zhang raised his finger to his mouth and said, "The secret must not be leaked! Lord Zuo, just wait!"
Zuo Feng had taken so many benefits from Liu Zhang and had been happy in Changshe for so long. He naturally knew that Liu Zhang wanted him to pass the news of success to the capital, so that Liu Zhang could take credit alone and no one else could take it away. Otherwise, Liu Zhang would His great achievements will not only be divided among the people of the famous family, but also likely to be covered up. Zuo Feng cupped his fists and said: "Since I am the champion, Hou has ordered me, Feng should obey it!"
