Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 570

"Because of Sun Bofu, you don't want to serve my lord."

Lu Su laughed: "I don't know each other before, so why should I have any scruples?"

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said calmly: "Speaking of which, before Yuan Shu and Liu Xun invited each other three times, Zijing refused to become an official. Why is he willing to join the king's government now?"

"Why does Gong Jin ask questions knowingly?" Lu Su said with a smile: "We are ambitious ministers, masters who do nothing and do nothing. If you meet a wise master, you will worship as your own head."

"You are now my subject, but I am still free." Zhou Yu pretended to be displeased and said, "Why do you lie and lie that I will go to Jingzhou with you?"

"It's very troublesome to deal with such a clear stream as Liu Biao."

Lu Su smiled wryly and said: "Although I brought the money and silk, I also brought the lord's decree, but whether I can successfully ask for food is still unknown. With Gongjin's help, I may be more confident."

"What made me help?"

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Is it because you want to use the little incense left by my father?"

Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, once served as the magistrate of Luoyang. As the name suggests, the magistrate of Luoyang is the county magistrate of Luoyang. Officials in power, relatives of the royal family, and even the meritorious deeds of the family.

Therefore, the imperial court gave the Luoyang order extremely high authority. As the Luoyang order, he could not only participate in the large-scale ceremonies of the court, but also jointly controlled the prison and the power of the Northern Army with Henan Yin and Sili Xiaowei.

And Liu Biao was in Luoyang as a Zhonghou of the Northern Army and was in charge of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army. Naturally, he had a lot of interactions with Zhou Yi, a colleague. With the intersection, there was friendship. By the way, Cao Cao also served as the Northern Army Headquarters in Luoyang. Wei, Zhou Yi is still his old leader.

After being exposed by Zhou Yu, Lu Su showed no embarrassment, just smiled and said: "Not only that, I heard that Liu Biao is used to judging people by their appearance, but he doesn't have the kindness of your father. Seeing Brother Gongjin's appearance, I believe it will be of great help to this trip, haha."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glanced at Lu Su angrily. What the other party said, it seemed that he had nothing to choose except his appearance.

After sending off the mission, Wang Zheng didn't return to the city, and kept watching Lu Su and his party go away, and then took Lu Ji and others, turned south, and continued to inspect the people's situation.

In the afternoon, two more groups of troops came from outside the city, but they were under the command of Wu Sheng and Zang Ba.

Zang Ba actually arrived in the morning, but because the appointment was at noon, he waited outside the city for a while. It happened that Wu Sheng also rushed back to Jiujiang from Guangling today, and the two entered the city together.

Xu Fang took Huang Zhong and others out of the city to greet them, just like Wang Zheng greeted them back then, they went out of the city for twenty miles, drums and music blared, red military flags fluttered in the wind, accompanied by teams of guards holding their swords , shining brightly in the sun, looking from a distance, it is very mighty and majestic.

When everyone met, there was a lot of excitement.

In fact, this is the second time Wu Sheng has come to Shouchun, but the last time his whereabouts were unknown to everyone, for Lu Ji, Gu Yong and even Gan Ning, today is the same as the famous "Xuzhou Mudi". A confidant" met for the first time,
They didn't dare to neglect Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng also lowered his figure. He is a man of roughness and fineness, so he naturally knows that Yangzhou is newly attached. These old officials of Yuan Shu, the representatives of the local gentry had to be wooed, so they were very polite.

This behavior fell into the eyes of Xu Fang, Huang Zhong and others who were familiar with him. Naturally, it was a big surprise. Zhang Liao, who was watching coldly, thought in his heart: "I heard earlier that Wu Litou is a friend of the chief executive of Zhou Mu. , born brave and courageous, when the Beihai War was destroyed, he was even more tenacious, went to the front line in person, made pioneering achievements, opened up thousands of miles for Xuzhou, and his reputation was far-reaching."

"Afterwards, across mountains and rivers, thousands of miles across, all the way south to face Jiangdong's veteran generals, especially Huang Gai, who made many military exploits under the command of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, and even Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army was defeated by him. What a brave hand, but he lost to Wu Sheng in Lu'an, and the city was destroyed and died."

"Such a general can be called the pillar of Xuzhou, but I never expected that this person is so young and in a high position, but he is so easy-going and has no airs."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao glanced at Xu Fang who was chatting happily with Wu Sheng again, and nodded secretly. Both Xu Fang and Wu Sheng are direct descendants of Wang Zheng, and they also became famous at a young age, but they were able to face their new followers like this. This made Zhang Liao feel very satisfied, and he even admired Wang Zheng's ability to serve under his command.

After everyone talked for a while, Xu Fang and Zhang Zhao led the way first, and the group meandered back to the city.

Although the troops brought by Wu Sheng and Zang Ba had diverted many routes to camp outside the city, they still brought dozens of soldiers with them, together with the guards of Xu and Zhang, they worked together. Together, there were three to four hundred people, most of whom were cavalry. They walked against the wind, their horseshoes trampled, and there was a lot of movement.Running all the way, attracted many people along the way to watch.

After entering the city, it caused a sensation.

People are tigers, horses are like dragons, and under the bright autumn sun, the armor is dazzling and the equipment is bright.

According to the distinction between host and guest, and the order of official positions, the generals marched one after another in the method of marching. Every ten people, there was a small flag, which was the military flag of each ten-man team.Every few tens of people, there is another big flag, regardless of the small flag or the big flag, the flag bearers are all tall and mighty men, sitting on horses, and the flag is flying high.

Those who can read will read it to the onlookers every time they pass a flag.

".This small-headed and sharp-faced man is Jianwei General Wu Sheng. I heard that he is a friend of the governor's chief. Do you know what his word is? The word Litou! It really lives up to the name, a man who kills without counting!"

Hearing this, the people around gasped and looked at Wu Sheng with awe, and some people pointed to the general flag behind him and asked, "Who is this?"

Someone interjected: "Zang is written on the flag, so he must be Zang Ba. This person was originally a thief from Mount Tai, but he retreated to Xuzhou and gathered his troops in the East China Sea. He became the overlord of his own party. Mu, convinced by it, took the initiative to take effect."

Among these literate people, many of them are comedians from Tianji Camp, and they are best at storytelling. When every military general passes the crowd, they will praise them. The theme is naturally what kind of life these generals are in. The fierce tiger is invincible, and it is even more unruly and difficult to tame. Of course, the final point of going around is naturally to mention the wise and martial arts of Wang Zheng, and even the fate of destiny. Everyone in Shouchun was taken aback.

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the people on the street cheering, and the windows of the tall buildings facing the street were pushed open one after another, or the guests who were eating in the restaurant, or the girls in the boudoir, cheered everywhere.

When everyone rushed to look, they saw that the team was almost at the end, and the one who was walking at the end of the generals was a middle-aged general with white hair and beard. Although he was not young, he was full of heroic spirit. A large flag is engraved with the word "yellow" dancing in dragons and phoenixes.

"Huang Hansheng!"

No need for a comedian to introduce, someone from the common people has already shouted out: "I heard that when the Sun Bandit rebellion was put down, General Huang Zhong stepped into the battalion many times, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and led thousands of people to attack Longshu in the rainy night. Victory, ushered in Xuzhou reinforcements, and then fought fiercely in Lu'an, and defeated Huang Gai, this is the real enemy of ten thousand people!"

"It's more than that. I heard that when General Huang was a Dubo, he braved bows and arrows to make the first victory when attacking Pingshou. That Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, and he has undue courage. He is also fighting with him. General Huang was captured and killed with one arm when he was fighting a general in front of the battle, and he was the number one tiger general under Zhou Mu's command, so brave and unparalleled!"

Different from others, Huang Zhong went south directly to Yangzhou with Wang Zheng from the very beginning, and he performed well in the fierce battle between Xuzhou Army and Sun Ce Army. Therefore, when Yuan Shu and Wang Zheng formed an alliance, his reputation had already spread. Shouchun, it can be said that everyone knows about Huang Hansheng.

All of a sudden, the voice of "General Huang's mighty power" vibrated, one after another, endlessly, spreading from one street to another, and finally, the whole city shouted, and the sound of mountains and valleys echoed. Today's protagonists Wu Sheng and Zang Ba stole the limelight.

Not only Wu Sheng and Zang Ba didn't expect Huang Zhong to have such a reputation in Shouchun, Xu Fang and Zhang Zhao also had a big accident, they couldn't help looking at each other, and were speechless for a while.

In fact, Huang Zhong himself didn't think of this. It was not the first time for him to ride a horse through the streets in Shouchun City, but there had never been such a sensation in the past. What happened today?
Huang Zhong forgot one thing, the previous few rides on horseback, but Wang Zheng was present.

In the presence of Wang Zheng, all the cheers, all the awe, naturally concentrated on one person, just like when the moon is in the sky, few people pay attention to which one of the stars shines brighter .
But when Wang Zheng was not present, he, the "acquaintance" in the eyes of the Shouchun people, naturally became the brightest star in the night sky!
Wu Sheng, who was originally complacent, felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the cheers like a tsunami. Suddenly, he remembered the friction between Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong before, and his expression sank immediately, and he snorted coldly. He let out a cry, and said to Xu Fang who was at the side with a strange voice: "Let the team go faster, didn't you say that the general will prepare a banquet and invite us to drink tonight?"

"Zang Ba and I have been driving for a few days, and we are covered in dust. It would be disrespectful to see the general like this. We have to find a place to wash and change clothes first."

Xu Fang and Wu Sheng have known each other for many years, so they didn't know that this guy was jealous, so he couldn't help laughing.

In fact, everyone didn't know that the reason why Huang Zhong had such a high reputation in Shouchun was due to his own achievements, but the most important reason was the secret promotion of Wang Zheng.

As a time traveler, Wang Zheng is too aware of the power of public opinion, so he established the Tianji Camp, which is mainly composed of comedians, in order to compete with the gentry class for the right to speak, to win the hearts of the people, and to gain control over other princes in Xuzhou On the one hand, he is a sharp soldier, and on the other hand, these storytellers are also inseparable from the constant rectification of his name.

Therefore, after the superficial unification of Jiujiang, Wang Zheng asked Mi Fang to summon many literati and created many storytelling and short stories in a short period of time. Like the old example in Xuzhou, he organized all the comedians in the city and unified them. Focus on publicity.

If people like Lu Ji and Gu Yong walk around the streets and alleys of the city now, they will be surprised to find that in today's Shouchun City, all the teahouses, wine shops, brothels and tile houses, all the storytellers and kabuki dancers They, almost all of what they said and sang were stories about the king's government and the generals under his command.

"Wang Zheng attacked Linzi", "Wu Sheng conquered Ping Shou", "Xu Fang broke Ping Yu" and so on. Except for the newly attached Gan Ning and Zhang Liao who really don't have themes at present, almost everyone has other generals.

From Wang Zheng's point of view, he has only entered Jiangdong not long ago, and there is still some estrangement from the people of Shouchun. It is a shortcut to publicize the bravery of Xuzhou soldiers in a popular way.

The customs of the Han Dynasty were very martial, and the people in Jiangdong were no exception. They all liked to hear the stories of heroes fighting for supremacy on the battlefield. The people felt that the generals in Xuzhou were very powerful and heroes. They felt proud and proud to be in the same camp as them. It is a matter of pride, so the relationship between Wang Zheng's heavenly army and the people of Jiangdong will be naturally drawn closer invisibly.

Of course, Wang Zheng did not actually choose Huang Zhong as the focus of his campaign at the beginning, but for the people of Shouchun, compared with Pengcheng, Beihai, or even Mount Tai in foreign countries, they naturally cared more about the land under their feet, and what happened locally. those wars
Here in Jiangdong, besides Wang Zheng, Huang Zhong is the one who shines the most.

After discovering this point, Wang Zheng naturally pushed the boat forward, let the Tianji camp make a lot of publicity, and appointed Huang Zhong as the second protagonist.

After this period of time, Huang Zhong's label of "the enemy of ten thousand people" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and today it has exploded in one fell swoop, and the effect is extremely amazing. Almost the whole city cheers and everyone jumps for joy.

A group of people went back to their home and rested for a while. People like Zhang Zhao who decided to stay in Shouchun in the future naturally bought a mansion, and people like Xu Fang and Wu Sheng who were just passing by naturally lived in the embassy first.

In the evening, Wang Zheng, who came back from outside the city, hosted a banquet for the generals, discussed with them at the table, and decided on the next reorganization of Shouchun's old army, led by Xu Fang and Wu Sheng.

Specifically, from the various ministries of the old army of Shouchun, the elite were drawn, the establishment was disrupted, and a new army of about 6000 people was rebuilt, which was divided into four battalions and belonged to the local army.

The soldiers who were eliminated were all transferred to the establishment of the Tuntian Army.Under the leadership of the original general school, he was divided into two counties and counties to assist the localities in preparing for spring plowing.
