Zhu Kui said without hesitation that this was his decision earlier, and even if Zhu Jun didn't mention it, he would mention it.
"Why doesn't Huai Ming want to join me in conquering Zhangjiao?"
In fact, Zhu Jun wanted to support him, and the pacification of Zhang Jiao and the pacification of Zhang Man were successful. Just like in history, Huangfu Song's reputation was much higher than that of Zhu Jun. The candidate he and Huangfu Song had in mind was actually Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao's rescue efforts were unsuccessful, Zhu and Jun were warm to him on the first day, but then they left him alone. They didn't blame them, because Cao Cao was not popular as a eunuch.
"Oh, General Zhu wants to stay, but what about the provision of food and fodder for the soldiers? Today is the day you and I agreed." Huangfu Song thought about it.
After cupping his hands, Zhu Kui confidently took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "Kui has already written down the terms of treatment for the surrender of soldiers. Jiangnan Wang's Trading Company donated 100,000 shi of food and grass. The rice merchant of the Shefang family purchased it. In addition to the grain and grass that the official had owned earlier and the food hunted in the wild in the past few days, it is enough to last 60,000 soldiers for three months."
"Among them, there are 13,000 old, weak and disabled people, all of whom were sent to the south of the Yangtze River. Major commercial houses in the south of the Yangtze River have joined forces to provide food relief. The place has not been ravaged by ants and thieves, and there is no need to worry about the refugees."
"Lord Zhonglang, I would like to issue a military order, and together with my group of surrendered soldiers, we will kill Zhang Mancheng in Wancheng within three months." Zhu Kui asked for orders loudly.
"Are you really confident that you can destroy Zhang's bandits and pacify Nanyang?" Huangfu Song's tone was sharp and he pressed forward step by step.
"If you don't get to Wancheng, you can behead me."
"Okay, as expected, young hero, I will grant you my full wish. You will be allowed to lead the soldiers to perform meritorious service, and I will also give you half a month more food and grass."
Then the pen and ink were served, and the two signed a military order together.
Zhu Jun kept watching Huangfu Song and Zhu Kui compete with each other without interruption: "Yizhen told me that Huai Ming is too domineering and self-centered and needs to be polished, but he is a really talented person. With him in Nanyang, the lowest We will not let the situation in Nanyang spread. If we can enter the court situation in the future, we will not be harmed by villains."
Seeing that Zhu Kui had just been appointed as Weilu general, he bravely asked for his order. Sun Jian beside him couldn't sit still. They both made generals at the same time. How could he fight with the army? How could he show off his general talents?
With a cruel heart, he stood up and asked for orders: "I would like to report to the two generals that Sun Jian, the last general, is willing to lead ten thousand troops to conquer Yanzhou and Pingdong County. The generals of the two armies can go directly from Guanguandu to Liyang and directly invade Guangzong. Before the end of the year, we will definitely be able to pacify the Taiping Road in one fell swoop."
"The tiger comes out of the cage and is eager to achieve great results." This is the feeling in the hearts of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, but what Sun Jian said is also reasonable. Passing Guandu and going straight to Guangzong will naturally save a month and a half. If Sun Jian really has the ability to pacify the Yanzhou Yellow Turban, then by now Not a good idea.
After all, if Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turbans everywhere will really be nothing to worry about.
"Wentai, are you sure?" Zhu Jun asked.
"The general is willing to issue a military order. If I lose the battle, I will take my head."
Zhu Jun, Huangfu and Song whispered to each other and said softly: "Yizhen, what do you think?"
"He then allowed the Wentai and Yanzhou Yellow Turbans to spread out in all directions. Although there were four or five people, they fought independently. Ten thousand men and horses, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can pacify Yi'er. Since Gongwei has confidence in him, that's what he'll do .”
Zhu Jun agreed: "We have already decided on the traitor Zhang and returned to the capital. Judging from the incident of Duke Lu, the Shi Chang Shi is the enemy of our party. It is better to leave these minor contributions to these young juniors."
"Everyone will obey the order!"
Military orders were issued one by one, and the generals dispersed, returned to camp to prepare, and officially set off three days later.
This butterfly finally began to have a great impact on the history of China. Zhu Jun, who defeated Bocai, was no less prestigious than Huangfu Song. Sun Jian was promoted to General Polu early and became known to the world. With the sudden rise of his new army, I fear that the direction of the world will slowly deviate from him in the future. memory...

On the official road in Xingyang, hundreds of Han army guards were walking together with a carriage. In these years, the Central Plains was restless and bandits were everywhere. Even if the three princes of the imperial court were walking outside without enough soldiers and horses to protect them, it would be extremely dangerous.
The person riding in the carriage was Zhang Jie of Xiaohuangmen, who had finished announcing the decree from the Changshe and was about to return to Beijing to resume his duties. He was so tired during the journey that he actually fell asleep in the carriage.
At this moment, behind the carriage, two fast horses roared to catch up. They quickly passed the carriage, came to the front, and stopped them.
"Xu,,,"
When the horses neighed, the guards immediately grasped the reins, stopped the team, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to intercept the envoy's carriage?"
"The villain Wang Qian has no intention of disturbing the envoy. I just want to be able to meet the envoy and give him a little kindness."
These two people were Wang Qian and Du Hong, who came here on Zhu Kui's orders, but they didn't know what they were doing.
The movement outside the car obviously woke up Zhang Jie, who was sleeping soundly. He stuck his head out and asked, "Why is it so noisy?"
"Sir, the two men in front of us intercepted the carriage and asked to see you, sir." A leader said, pointing at Wang Qian and the other two.
Zhang Jie squinted his eyes and thought about the two of them. They didn't know each other, but when they saw each other, they looked like two people. They should not be first-rate robbers, so he asked, "Who are you two? Why do you want to see us?"
Wang Qian and Du Hong didn't say much. They untied a package from behind, took out a sandalwood box, and handed it to the guard in front of them with a smile.
"Sir, this is a gift from my master to you."
Zhang Jie opened the wooden box and took a look. A stream of colorful light shone directly into his eyes. After a closer look, he saw that there were all kinds of jade jewelry, worth thousands of gold. He took a breath, smiled and asked: "Who is your master?" also?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't let you know about it now. Your Majesty will know about it in the future."
"Since the envoy has accepted the gift, the young Wang Qian will say goodbye."
Wang Qian ordered Du Hong, patted the horse's head, and left.
Zhang Jie was a little stunned when he saw this. What did this mean? He lost the box of jewelry and left, but he didn't pay much attention to it. If he had the money, he would just take it first. Why should he be afraid of the unknown owner?

In northern Hebei, three strangers and several hundred rebels had just finished killing a small group of yellow scarf thieves and seized a lot of food, grass and trophies.
"Brother, it's been a lot of fun these past few days."
A big black-faced man with a chin, a tiger's beard, a leopard's head and eyes, was holding a snake-shaped spear, which sounded like a bell. If you measure it carefully, you will see that the spear is eight feet long.
"Third brother, don't say that. These people are all my fellow men. If you cut them on the body, it will hurt in my heart. It is my Liu family that is sorry for them." As he said this, the big man stretched out his long crotch that went over his knees. He used his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. This man had a fair complexion, fat ears, and thin beards dotted under his chin. Looking at the whole person, he looked like a dragon and a phoenix.
"Brother, please don't be so sad. Now the world is in unrest. It's just when our brothers are doing their best for the country. I heard that eldest brother's teacher Lu Gong was framed by the ten permanent servants and was taken to the capital. Now Dong Zhonglang has changed Lu Gong's strategy. , I attack everywhere, but I always feel that something is wrong?"
The last man was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, a face like a jujube, and a pair of red phoenix eyes. His eyes were full of majesty. He raised the eight-foot-long sword to the side, and a green dragon appeared vividly on the blade.
These three people are naturally the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang that Zhu Kui always talks about.
"Second brother, it's a pity that we are so humble that we can't plead grievances for Mr. Lu. Although our troops have been dispatched twice in the past few days and won small battles, there have been no breakthrough gains. Such urgent battles not only violate the teacher's instructions. The thief's intention to cause chaos and self-destruction has given that opportunity to take advantage of, which makes me very worried."
After saying this, the three of them sighed together.
Suddenly, smoke and dust billowed out from a distance. The three brothers took a closer look and were shocked.
"Brother is not good, he is a Yellow Turban thief."
"That's right, hurry up and go back and report to the general." Liu Bei exclaimed. Countless thieves were pouring out of Guangzong City in the distance. It was obvious that the whole army was dispatched and he only had a few hundred infantry. He was seeking death if he stayed behind.
