Chapter 203 Who is the tiger general(1/2)
Chapter 203 Who is the tiger and wolf general
Zang Ba naturally recognized the scholar, Mi Fang, the second son of the Mi family, whom he met in Xuzhou.
"Zi Fang, why are you here? Could it be that...you are now also in the Dong family's account?"
Of course, Zang Ba would feel strange.
You should know that Mi Fang's brother is Tao Qian's other person. In a certain way, the Mi family is equivalent to Tao Qian's person.
The employment system during the Three Kingdoms period was very different from that later.
Since the Tang and Song dynasties, there was only one person loyal to officials in the world, that is, the emperor. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, it was loyal to one class and one class. For example, the officials in the court were the chief officials of each state, and the emperor was loyal to the emperor, but the officials under them were like the Mi family and Cao family under Tao Qian, and the person loyal to them was Tao Qian. In other words, they did not have much belonging to the Han Dynasty. The people who belonged to them were just those who were called family and aristocratic families.
Mi Fang, how could he follow Dong Qi?
Could it be that the people from the Mi family have already...
Zang Ba naturally felt strange, but Mi Fang rode on the mound.
"Xuan Gao is rare and strange. Since ancient times, good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose masters to serve. Dong Hou was a tiger general of the world and a famous scholar and disciple. Dong Hou's father was the governor of Liangzhou and the Marquis of Dongxiang... The commander of hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, and the generals were like clouds, which shocked Xiliang. Dong Hou had the merits of saving the emperor, was humble and gentle, with lofty ambitions, and had no prejudice against us. He was actually a wise ruler."
What this said sounds quite pertinent.
But if Dong Qi heard it, he would definitely be ashamed. It is appropriate to save the car, but he is humble and gentle, and has a lofty ambitions...
However, there are only people in this world who dare not say, but no one cannot say anything.
As a minister, Mi Fang's praise was also heartfelt. Thinking of his younger brother, a businessman, he has become a doctor in charge of the army's food, grass and supplies, which is enough to show Dong Qi's trust in him. A scholar died as a confidant, Mi Fang naturally praised Dong Qi. Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, as long as he felt that he could use it, he would say it out.
Zang Ba frowned, "But I heard that the Dong family is cruel and tyrannical."
"Ha, then tell me, when was my lord cruel? Tens of thousands of thieves in Wan County, and I was able to survive. When I went to the Central Plains, most of the people killed were Taipingdao thieves. Even in Luoyang, have you ever heard that my lord took the initiative to cause trouble? That time it was not someone else who came to the door to find a job? In this way, it would be called a tyrant. How many people in this world are not tyrannical? In my opinion, it was just those who were jealous of my lord and talk nonsense."
Zang Ba heard this and pondered again.
If you think about it carefully, although there are often news of Dong Qi killing, it seems that someone else is coming to you by counting on your fingers.
"Zi Fang, just say it if you have something to do."
"With Xuan Gao's talent, can't you see the clues here? My lord loves Xuan Gao's talent very much and wants to ask Xuan Gao for help. Unfortunately, there is no chance, but he doesn't want to... Xuan Gao is also a loyal and upright warrior. Tao Qian doesn't know your talent, but he is really blind."
Zang Ba pondered, "But I am still a bandit now. Hou Dong takes me away, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
There was already some looseness in the words.
Zang Ba is a person who can be put down. After knowing that the old camp in Taishan was taken down, he knew that the big thing was gone.
If you lose, you lose!
He used so many means to do everything step by step. Whether he was deceived on his own initiative or forced to be deceived, he was deceived. Now that he even lost all his old man, he naturally could not speak hard. Besides, he was brave enough to compare with Dong Qi; in terms of strategy, he was not inferior to him. Even those who thought he was very powerful could not compare with Lu Zhi's words. Even Lu Zhi was willing to help Dong Qi. Maybe this Dong Hou was really a capable person.
The only worry is that he once killed officials and rebelled.
But as soon as he said this, Mi Fang laughed.
"Don't Xuan Gao know that the former emperor had collapsed and the new emperor ascended the throne. Hou Dong was once the captain of the Beigong Palace and had a good friendship with the new emperor. He once said that as long as Xuan Gao was willing to serve the court, he could ask the new emperor to pardon the world and pardon Xuan Gao's crimes. If Xuan Gao was still worried, there was a document for recruitment here. The lord was willing to recruit Xuan Gao and you were the chief secretary of the Hu Ben, how about it?"
To be honest, the official position of Hu Ben Zhonglang is no greater than that of the Cavalry Commander when Zang Ba was in Xuzhou.
But the nature is completely different.
Zang Ba's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but move with pride.
If you can have a good future, who would be willing to bear the reputation of a rebel?
Mi Fang said again: "If Xuan Gao is still worried, the lord will give you an explanation. All the troops and horses belonging to your Taishan Army will be under your command. He will never interfere in your military affairs... If you want to leave in the future, he will not stop you."
Zang Ba was moved!
With such a good condition, Dong Qi's sincerity is naturally no longer doubted.
Is there another person in the world who has such courage to conquer him and let him continue to command his old subordinates?
Mi Fang continued: "Wu Dun and Yin Li, in theory, are also bandits. Dong Hou promised to let go of these two people and be promoted to the attendant Hu Ben, and it will still be your command. Xuan Gao, the lord valued you so much, do you still have to hesitate?"
Zang Ba immediately put down the weapon in his hand, dismounted his horse, and ordered his personal soldiers to tie him up.
"I would like to ask my son to tie me up and go to see Hou Dong."
*******
Dong Qi was very happy about Zang Ba's surrender.
Not only did he meet before he went out of the battle, he also personally untied the ropes for Zang Ba and ordered people to set up camp on the spot.
That night, Dong Qi set up a banquet in the camp. Except for Lu Zhi and He Qi, who was ordered to protect Lu Zhi, did not appear, all his members attended. Even the captured Wu Dun and Yin Li appeared at the banquet and sat next to Zang Ba.
Zang Ba said he was willing to hand over the military power.
But Dong Qi was angry, "Does Xuan Gao want me to be the person without loyalty? Since I agreed, I will naturally not regret it, and I will not have any doubts about Xuan Gao. Master Lu went to Xuzhou today to discuss the settlement of your old camp in Taishan. It will take about two or three days to come back. If Xuan Gao is still worried, he can establish a camp on his own and will never stop him."
Zang Ba couldn't help but burst into tears, "The lord is so kind, Zang Ba will die."
In this way, Dong Qi and others were resting in place. The supplies burned by Zang Ba were actually mostly waste collected by Mi Fang. It didn't matter if it was burned. It suddenly increased by several thousand people, which made Dong Qi feel a little difficult.
Fortunately, Lu Zhi came back soon and brought a lot of supplies.
For Tao Qian, Zang Ba, as the largest group of thieves among the Taishan bandits, has caused a lot of trouble for him.
Now that I can send this trouble away without being hurt, Tao Qian cannot ask for it.
Besides, Tao Qian couldn't say anything with Lu Zhi coming forward. After arranging a large number of people from the old camp in Mount Tai, Lu Zhi carried the food and grass to chase Dong Qi.
The Taishan soldiers gathered up Zang Ba's troops, causing Dong Qi's troops to surge to more than 8,000.
Lu Zhi was unwilling to go back to Luoyang. After some discussion, Dong Qi sent Zang Ba and He Qi to lead the troops to protect Lu Zhi and head to Zhangye. Originally, Dong Qi wanted Zang Ba to take away all the Taishan soldiers. But Zang Ba did not agree and believed that only one thousand people were enough. At the same time, Wu Dun was left behind and Yin Li assisted Dong Qi, which was considered to repay Dong Qi's trust.
Sometimes, this is how many things happen.
When you give enough trust, you will get enough rewards.
So, the group set off again. When they arrived in Mengjin, Lu Zhi and Dong Qi left in tears and went to Zhangye.
Of course, he had to pass by Fufeng on the way, but he lobbied the scholar Fayan for Dong Qi.
After parting with Lu Zhi, Dong Qi led 7,000 troops across Mengjin and headed straight to Luoyang.
By this time, December had passed and the weather became colder and colder.
From Mengjin to Luoyang, all the way down, it was covered in white and looked particularly deserted.
Dong Qi had something to do, especially when he heard that He Jin had begun to summon foreign troops to Beijing, he was even more anxious.
As it is said in the Romance, He Jin wants his father to come to Beijing.
I am afraid that this would force Zhang Rang and others to fight. When they came to this era, Dong Qi learned a lot of things that had never been written in the Romance. He vaguely felt that according to the nature of the Ten Eunuchs, it was not that they were forced to make an insufferable action. But I really didn't understand why He Jin was eager to do this?
No matter how strange it is, Dong Qi accelerated his speed after crossing Mengjin.
Since most of the team were infantry, they delayed the march. Dong Qi could hold back at first, but later...
He simply mobilized 600 cavalrymen, including trolls. He led Dong Tie and Wu'anguo to Luoyang in the early stage. Pang De was the main general, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao were the deputy generals, and Mi Fang was the Sima of the army, leading the rest of the troops to march behind.
Just like that, we walked rush all the way.
Around the fourth night after the division of troops, Dong Qi led his troops outside Luoyang City.
From a distance, I saw that the twelve gates of Luoyang were closed and there were few pedestrians on the road. It seemed that there was no problem yet.
Dong Qiu stayed in Luoyang for a few years, so he naturally knew the situation in Luoyang.
In this case, Luoyang will definitely impose a curfew. Once the city gate is closed, it will no longer be possible to open the city gate.
Looking at the sky, it was almost the hour of Hai. When Dong Qi saw that Luoyang was fine, he put down his mind and took his men to Beimang Villa.
*******
At the same time, the General's Mansion was brightly lit.
There are now a crowd of guests in He Jin's conference hall. He Jin himself is wearing a bright red brocade robe and is sitting upright in the center with a smile.
"Today's wine is just to welcome Jianyang."
As he said that, he raised his wine glass and smiled at a military general sitting in the lower position, saying, "Jianyang has been shocking the north of the north in recent years, making the Hu people dare not act rashly. Now it is the first one to be recruited into Beijing. I am very grateful, so I would like to drink a full cup."
The general was nine feet tall and had a rosy complexion.
There are black beards under the jaw, sword-browed eyebrows and eyes, and a heroic spirit.
He heard the laughter and said, "Why should the general be so polite? The young general is just doing his duty, how can he be so kind to the general? Dukes, the general is working hard day and night for state affairs, which is the real hard work and great contribution. We should respect the general."
The guests were all He Jin's staff.
Hearing it, he laughed, "Mr. Jianyang said it well, so he should respect General."
He Jin's beauty is hard to express in words. Although he knows that everyone is flattering, who doesn't like to listen to good words?
"Haha, all the lords, let's drink together, let's drink together!"
He Jin glanced at the person standing behind Ding Yuan.
The man was over 100 meters tall, with a golden crown on his head and a hundred flowers robe. He was wearing a Tang Dynasty armor and a lion-man treasure belt around his waist. He had a national face and his eyes were slightly sunken. Even when he was not angry, he exuded a wild murderous aura. His cheeks were like a knife and an axe, with clear lines. A pair of sword eyebrows, his eyes were like stars.
High nose bridge, wide mouth.
