Chapter 96: Slight changes
In the summer of the third year of Jian'an, after becoming emperor, Yuan Shu was attacked by various princes called by Cao Cao, and eventually defeated Huainan.
At the same time, Ma Teng also entered the capital to meet the saint and met with Cao Cao.
These were originally good news for Zhou Yang.
However, Xu Rong told him in a heavy tone that during the days when Zhou Yang was not in Luoyang, many things seemed to have not changed, but the subtle problems were constantly spreading.
"For example, what?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Zhi Yuanduo has also arrived in Xudu, do you know?" Xu Rong said.
"Really?" Zhou Yang felt a chill in his heart.
Although I don’t know the severity of this matter, I feel that the problem is not that simple, looking at Xu Rong’s expression.
Not long ago, Zhi Yuanduo reached an agreement with Han Sui, but the Qin Hu cavalry that governed Yuanduo never appeared. It was just that Han Sui pretended to attack Ma Teng's army on the Qinchuan Plain.
It turned out that the Qin Hu people had a more profound purpose and actually ran to Xudu.
The first person Zhou Yang thought of was Zhiyuanduo's wife, and he asked quickly: "Where is the Prostitute Ijian and Deng San?"
Xu Rong snorted coldly: "Zhi Yuanduo was able to meet Cao Gong smoothly, and Deng San's recommendation was in the middle."
Zhou Yang's heart was so cold that Deng San pretended not to be unexpected for him.
But Ekin's concubine is different. If this woman is using him from beginning to end, it will cause a great blow to him.
"Don't worry!" Xu Rong saw his thoughts and smiled faintly, "Prostitute Ejian treats you sincerely, because she doesn't know anything about the changes in this, and she still lives in that stone chamber!"
"So...what about Cao Gong?" Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't know why he cared about this woman so much, so he turned to the topic and asked again, "Since Ma Teng and Cao Gong have met, then Zhi Yuanduo has passed Deng San's recommendation, so is there any problem here?"
"Mr. Cao had murderous intentions against Ma Teng." Xu Rong said.
"This is not surprising." Zhou Yang took a deep breath and said, "Han Sui's cooperation with Zhiyuanduo is a secret. If it weren't for the core figures like Ekin Prostitute who came to report the matter, we would still be kept in the dark. Ma Teng was obviously sincerely loyal to the Han Dynasty. The Cao Gonghui wanted to kill him, but he might not have really killed Ma Teng."
"That's right," Xu Rong said, "but with the more people Zhiyuanduo and Deng San's picking, things become extremely complicated."
It was Deng San who pretended to be a refugee to interfere, which made Zhou Yang and Zhang Xun mistakenly think that Peng Yiyuan and others were horse thieves, but the result was exactly the opposite.
Later, he dealt with Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others. Such villains were indeed very cunning.
However, this time Deng San faced not Dong Zhuo or Li Ru, but the more treacherous treacherous hero Cao Cao.
Zhou Yang was very confident in Cao Cao and said, "I think Deng San is not that capable yet!"
Xu Rong said: "Deng San is indeed not that capable, but with the many governing Yuan and the Black Mountain bandits, the matter is serious."
Zhou Yang said in a lost voice: "Why would Zhang Yan and the others be pulled in?"
Xu Rong shook his head and said, "Zhang Yan, Guo Daxian, the other four divine weapons, and the more than 800 Black Mountain disciples who remained in Luoyang have nothing to do with this matter. Yang Feng is the one who helped Zhi Yuanduo and Deng San."
Zhou Yangqi said: "What the hell is going on?"
Yang Feng is one of the four generals of the Heishan Army, and like Zhang Yan, he commanded more than a thousand Heishan disciples.
Previously, Zhang Niujiao sent Yu Digen and Li Damu, the left and right guardians, to assassinate two head coaches, Via Gu and Tao Sheng who defected to Yuan Shao.
Now Zhou Yang helped Zhang Yan and the others kill Zhang Niujiao. These two masters and coach Yang Feng will come to seek revenge sooner or later. Now Yang Feng has also appeared in Xudu. I wonder if Yu Digen and Li Damu are also in Xudu.
But Xu Rong didn't know anything about this. He thought that the more serious problem than this was that Cao Cao had murderous intentions against Ma Teng.
Zhiyuanduo and Yang Feng were about to join forces, but they didn't know the real conspiracy of the Qin Hu people.
"Many things can't be explained clearly here," Xu Rong sighed, "Now I can only wait for you, Taishou Zhou, to go to Xu Du. I believe everything will be clear."
Zhou Yang knew that he was not very good at describing the situation, so he could only ask Xun Yu again when he returned to Luoyang.
So the two and a group of thunder cavalry rushed back immediately, and did not even stay in Chang'an for a long time, and ran to Luoyang overnight.
When passing by Mianchi, Zhou Yang stopped to come.
Xu Rong said: "Time is tight, I'm afraid that things will worsen when Zhou Taishou arrives at Xudu."
Zhou Yang thought of other things in his mind and said, "You go back to Luoyang first, tell Mr. Xun Yu all these things, and let him think about it carefully. I still have some important things. After finishing it, I will rush back to Xudu."
Xu Rong nodded and said, "I will understand."
At that time, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Hu Cai and other 100,000 Bai Bo troops surrendered to Zhou Yang under the persuasion of Yu Ji.
The armored soldiers who returned to the fields continued to join the army. After the whole organization, there were only less than five or six thousand people left, and most of them were from peasants, not like Xu Rong's three thousand cavalrymen who were brave and good at fighting.
So Zhou Yang placed them in Mianchi, which can be used as a front-line defense to counterattack Luoyang, and as a place for military farming.
These Baibo army and farmers can work farming here as a basic supply of military rations in Luoyang.
Later, Zhou Yang met Zhang Chunhua in Xuanyuan Mountain. He had many concerns in his heart and placed her in Mianchi. I wonder how this little girl is doing now.
In fact, the most important thing is that Zhou Yang had a vague idea in his mind, not only knowing how to care about others regardless of importance.
"It's rare that the prefect Zhou is coming to see us." Yang Feng and the soldiers came to greet us from afar.
"Where is Zhang Chunhua?" Zhou Yang asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The little girl is very good, everything is as good as the prefect Zhou." Yang Feng turned and said softly, "It's much better than the young lady Lu Lingqi's temper."
"This girl is very stubborn and insists on learning swords." Han Xian, who was standing beside her, said, "But I don't think she is a material for practicing swords, so I asked her to farm."
"You ask Sima..." Zhou Yang hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence "let Sima Yi's future wife go farming."
In fact, this time I stayed in Mianchi not to find Zhang Chunhua, but just a casual question.
The real purpose is to talk to people like Yang Feng to see if we can get some information from these former Yellow Turban Army, and it is better to have more bargaining chips when we go back to Xudu, and Yang Feng and others will fight.
Yang Feng, Han Xian, Hu Cai and others, most of the 100,000 Baibo army led by the former were from peasants and were also the original Yellow Turban Army. Many people were even recruited by the three brothers Zhang Jiao, but they did not teach the arts themselves.
Therefore, although they are not as powerful as the Black Mountain Army like Zhang Niujiao, they know much more than the Black Mountain Army.
Zhou Yang learned from it that Zhang Jiao did accept many closed disciples back then, including Zhang Niujiao, Yu Digen and Li Damu, among which Zhang Niujiao, and Li Damu, were the most beautiful ones, and were also the mysterious masters who showed the least.
Zhou Yang and Zhang Yan have experienced the power of Zhang Niujiao.
In the world, it is probably difficult to find other opponents except for swordsmen like Ding Xiao.
As for Yang Feng's more than a thousand Black Mountain disciples, all of them are from the Green Forest, and they are experts, just as powerful as the group of people under Zhang Yan's command.
In other words, the Black Mountain disciples who were cast to Yuan Shao in the north and the second coach Tao Sheng were also very difficult to mess with.
It is only when Zhou Yang is about to go back to Xudu and know his own knowledge and opponents, he is more confident.
"Yu Di's root is not his real name, but Zhang Liang personally taught the art. Because his beards were entangled with each other, the person was called Di's root;" Han Xian recalled, "As for Li Damei's master, it was Zhang Bao, because his eyes were as big as a cow, and when he fought against the enemy, he opened his eyes and the enemy's heart was so angry that he did not dare to fight against the enemy. They were all killed by Li Damei, so he became famous here."
"Only Zhang Niujiao is Zhang Jiao's most powerful disciple." Hu Cai added.
"Luckily, this person is dead." Zhou Yang thought of the group fighting Zhang Jiao that day but couldn't win. In addition to his vine armor, the most powerful thing was his ability to turn palms into blades.
Later, after Zhang Niujiao died, he removed the parts of the vine armor and returned to Luoyang for research.
I found that this kind of vine armor could not be worn at all, and could only be assembled and synthesized one by one on the body. Once it was synthesized, it could not be removed. Except for the person who died, it was possible to dismantle his body, so it was still thrown into the underground stone chamber.
"But these three people have one weakness." Yang Feng said.
"Weakness?" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up. When he thought of dealing with Zhang Niujiao, he would take advantage of his madness and superstition. If the other two masters also had weaknesses, it would be much easier to deal with.
Yang Feng said seriously: "Zhang Niujiao looks at Zhang Jiao like a fairy, and even looks like a god, even crazy; but he is very lustful and has a strong sexual desire. It is said that he can control more than ten women at night, which is extremely cruel."
Han Xian suddenly realized and returned to his spirit, "I remembered that Li Damu is good at drinking. If he had a way to get him drunk, it would be much easier to start."
Zhou Yang immediately remembered the Qianlong wine that Ding Xiao invited him to drink that day. This wine is so strong that no one in the world can drink it without getting drunk.
But let alone getting Li Damu drunk, it would be difficult to get close to him, let alone find a woman to confuse him of the diarrhea. He could not do such a thing no matter what.
When Zhou Yang thought of women, he still thought that he could either take it as an existing one or the beauty of adulthood, and he would never bear to destroy the flowers with his hands.
Just like when Ekin's concubine wanted to take his life with his lifeless sword technique, he still couldn't attack him.
Therefore, these two weaknesses can only be at ease, but they cannot be like using Zhang Niujiao's madness. Fortunately, Yu Digen and Li Damu should not be as powerful as Zhang Niujiao, which is the only thing worthy of gratitude.
"Apart from that, are there any other situations?" Zhou Yang asked.
"There is also Yang Feng." Han Xian continued, "This person is not afraid of it. The key is that there is someone around him who should pay great attention."
"Who is it?"
"Qin Zhen!" Yang Fengsu said.
