Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 369
The king's government clearly defined rewards and punishments, and the matter of cutting hair and replacing the head soon spread throughout Xiapi and fell into the ears of many people.

Zhang Zhao, who had just sent Chen Gong back to the inner city, heard the news, and immediately applauded the case, laughing to the left and right: "The body and skin are given to the parents. What's more, the master's body is a thousand pieces of gold?"

"The so-called "Spring and Autumn" is righteous, and the law is not respected. It was unexpected to encounter such things on the road today, but the lord can make a decision in an instant. Sending the head of the generation to comfort the hearts of the people, turning such a bad thing into a good thing, not only strictly enforces the law and discipline, but also wins the hearts of the people in one fell swoop, and at the same time can warn the current arrogant generation in the army to suppress the slack and arrogance, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone, my lord It can be seen that it is a machine-changing device."

After this comment, all the staff around him nodded and said: "What Sima said is very true. I am so lucky in Xuzhou. It can be said that there is such a wise master. It can be said that it can be carried forward just around the corner. We are also very lucky. It is really gratifying to meet the wise master. Congratulations."

"Come here, prepare paper and ink." Zhang Zhao thought about it first, and immediately ordered the guards.

Some officials were puzzled, so they asked Sima what official document he was planning to issue years ago. Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, the lord has done such a good deed today. It should be at this time, and the time must not be lost. If we are not good at grasping the , is dereliction of duty."

He explained: "I, Xuzhou, is now above the military and government. Although I have a certain scale, but in terms of civil and internal affairs, the system is just established, the trade is initially established, and the people's hearts are initially determined. To manage people's customs, the actions of the lord today are just a good start for us, and the next step is to correct people's hearts and promote customs."

"I have the trust of my lord, and I'm in the position of Sima. How can I eat a corpse? I need to write a letter and present it to my lord."

When the memorial was finished, it was already dusk, Zhang Zhao didn't care about eating and resting, and immediately went to the county mansion. At this time, Wang Zhengzheng and Huang Zhong were chatting in the study.

Seeing Zhang Zhao begging to see him, Huang Zhong knew from a glance at the other party's government that he was an important official under Wang Zheng's command. He came here at this time, and he expected to have important matters to discuss, so he took the initiative to leave. Enthusiasm belongs to enthusiasm, and we must avoid going too far, so we nodded, and let the guards personally send him out, then turned to Zhang Zhao, smiled slightly: "Mr. is here, please sit down."

Zhang Zhao bowed his hands and bowed at the first moment, and shouted even higher: "My lord, congratulations!"

"Sir, what are you doing, please hurry up." Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then wondered, "Where does the joy come from?"

After insisting on saluting, Zhang Zhaocai got up and smiled, pointing to the direction outside the door and said with a smile: "My lord has won a general, shouldn't I be happy? Shouldn't I congratulate you?"

"Oh?" Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Zhao with great interest, and jokingly said, "I never imagined that you not only read poetry and books in literary matters, but also have a good stomach, and even have such a good eye in martial arts?"

"You can tell at a glance that Huang Zhong is a tiger general?"

"No." Zhang Zhao waved his hands and explained, "Of course I don't have such vision, but my lord does."

"My lord sees people in detail, and has a unique eye. He can discern whether it is a virtuous or a fool, and there is no omission!" Zhang Zhao paused, and said with a smile: "Since this person is treated so courteously, Zhao can dare to conclude that this will never happen. Xiaohu also!"

"Haha." Wang Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhao with admiration: "Today I will know that Mr. Zibu is also a wonderful person."

Sure enough, those who are capable can do anything, Zhang Zhao, a real person like Zhang Zhao, has such a high rank when he flatters him.

"Huang Hansheng is indeed the enemy of ten thousand people." Wang Zheng nodded, expressing that Zhang Zhao's expectation was not bad: "This person took the initiative to vote, I am really very happy in my heart, but it's a pity" said here, but sighed.

"It's a good thing that the lord's reputation has spread far and wide for a talented person to vote." Seeing this, Zhang Zhao asked in surprise, "Why do you seem to be worried?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng glanced at Zhang Zhao, and secretly complained in his heart.

My trouble is not that Huang Zhong, like you, did not join the team!

The optical effect is useless, the system can't be turned off, I don't feel at ease after all, hey.

And for Wang Zheng, Huang Zhong's "not joining" made him feel even more embarrassing than Zhang Zhaolai!
Because in fact, when he was on the street, Wang Zheng received an application from the other party to join the team.

It was after he said that he would cut off the head of the generation, coupled with the wishes of all the people, the atmosphere at that time was at an extreme height, when Huang Zhong said the sentence "My Huang Zhong's life will belong to the state shepherd from now on!", maybe Also under the excitement, for a moment, his recognition of Wang Zheng met the requirements of the system, so there was an application for joining the team.

But... it was really just a blink of an eye.

At that time, Wang Zheng, just because he suddenly heard the name of "Huang Zhong", was shocked and turned his head to confirm whether this Huang Zhong was that Huang Zhong, but he didn't notice this incomparably precious application for joining the team at the first time, and even more so. Give it approval!

When he thought about it later, he didn't know whether it was because Huang Zhong calmed down, or what kind of thinking
Anyway, there is no "then".

Wang Zheng is so angry!

Unwilling to be reconciled, he brought Huang Zhong back to the mansion. Wang Zheng really put on a gesture, and he was full of charm, deliberately trying to win over.

As a result, the system did not respond from noon to night. Until Zhang Zhao came here, Wang Zheng had no choice but to give up temporarily.

Of course, this half-day effort was not wasted, at least Wang Zheng sorted out the cause and effect of Huang Zhong's trip.

This Huang Zhong is indeed Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, one of the five tiger generals in history.

In the first year of Chuping, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian. Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao to succeed him. Yu was the magistrate of Huarong County, and he dominated the local area according to the militia. As a result, Liu Biao could not take office directly, so he rode into Jingzhou anonymously and celibately.

After arriving in Yicheng, Liu Biao conspired with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue from Zhonglu County, and Cai Mao from Xiangyang, and then made a plan to commit crimes, which was launched in the autumn of that year and asked Kuai Yue to send people to lure the Zong thieves55 People ("Hou Hanshu" contains 15 people) went to the banquet, beheaded them all, and attacked their tribes together.

Then Liu Biao took advantage of the situation to control the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County. During this process, Huang Zhong fought bravely, especially when he attacked Xiangyang, he made great contributions.

At that time, Xiangyang was guarded by Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, the two Jiangxia thieves. The two thieves were fierce by nature. When Liu Biao's army first arrived at the city of Xiangyang, they took the initiative to attack. Being trapped by Huang Zhong alone, he beheaded three generals under his command and retreated directly to the city.

After that, Huang Zhong's performance was even more exaggerated. He was the first to rush to the top of the city with three siege tools, and he was brave enough to overwhelm the three armies. The outer city of Xiangyang was conquered in less than ten days!
Relying on the prestige of the great victory, Liu Biao took the opportunity to send Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to talk about surrendering. Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng agreed to surrender when they saw that it was impossible to do so, and they belonged to Liu Biao's general Huang Zu.

It can be said that Huang Zhong owes a lot to Xiangyang for being so easy.

Liu Biao admired such a tiger general even more. In addition, he had just come to Jingzhou and was short of people around him. In the third year of Chuping, which was the year Wang Zheng traveled through, Liu Biao made an exception for Huang Zhong and promoted Huang Zhong from A Dubo Lianyue third-level watch is Zhonglang Jiang.

If this trajectory continues and Liu Biao really entrusts Huang Zhong with a heavy responsibility, then whether it is Liu Biao or Huang Zhong, the fate of the two may be completely different.

Maybe Liu Biao wouldn't have spent more than ten years not being able to take down even a mere Jiaozhou, and Huang Zhong might become famous all over the world earlier.

But the result was that Liu Biao had just finished Huang Zhong's official position, and when he was grateful and thought that he would finally meet the Lord, someone told Liu Biao about Huang Zhong's greatest weakness, and thought it was extremely inappropriate to be promoted by leapfrogging.

What is Huang Zhong's shortcoming?
Born!

Huang is a common surname in Jingzhou, and many famous people can be counted casually, such as Huang Zu, Huang Gai, and Huang Zhong. Then they moved to the hinterland of Chu State and settled in Hubei and other places. From the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Huang surname had been transferred to the Hubei area in large numbers, and gradually formed eight Huang family prefectures including Jiangling and Jiangxia.

But with the same word "Huang", some people belong to aristocratic families, such as the Jiangxia Huang family, the representative person Huang Wan, his great-grandfather is Shang Shuling Huang Xiang, and his grandfather is Taiwei Huang Qiong.

Some people are from poor families, at least their ancestors were rich, such as the Huang family in Nanyang, the representative figure Huang Gai, the ancestor Huang Zilian was the prefect of Nanyang. , Promoted to the government.

Who is Huang Zhong's ancestor?I don't know, there is nothing to check.

Then there is no need to ask, it must be a mud leg!

This is the real reason why Huang Zhong remained silent for the first half of his life!

His background is too low, not even a poor family!

And Liu Biao, a descendant of the clan, a famous scholar in the world, and one of the Eight Great Horses, also agreed with this point of view, and immediately regretted that he should not have given Huang Zhong such a high official on the spur of the moment.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Biao secretly rejoiced again, luckily in the midst of misfortune, now this Zhonglang general is not very expensive.

In the traditional military system of the Han Dynasty, General Zhonglang was actually a very high official rank. He was below the general but above the school lieutenant. Since the general was not often appointed, he was only called the general who commanded the army when there was a war. Therefore, The highest official position that ordinary military officers can obtain is Zhonglang General, with a rank of "Bi Erqian Shi", who is in charge of the Royal Guard and is under the jurisdiction of Guang Luxun.

Of course, during the Three Kingdoms period, more and more people with military merits were named generals, and General Zhonglang became a middle and lower-level officer instead.

And what about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
In fact, the gold content is much less.

This is actually very understandable.

In times of peace, there were relatively few wars, and everyone earned their qualifications. There were only a few official positions, and very few people got them.

However, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, due to the need for continuous military activities, General Zhonglang, who was often dispatched to fight against the rebellion, naturally received a large number of awards and participated in military activities extensively.

Among them, Dong Zhuo took the lead in making a bad start, sprinkling all over the sky like "General Zhonglang" doesn't want money.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of Dong Zhuo" contains:

"(Dong Zhuo) sent Dong Zhonglang to station Dong Yue at Strider Pond, Zhonglang to station Duan Yao at Huayin, Zhonglang to station Niu Fu at Anyi, and the rest of Zhonglang and Xiaowei to be deployed in various counties to control Shandong. "

In order to resist the crusade by the allied forces of the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuo set up a large number of Zhonglang generals in various counties to defend against the enemy. It is conceivable that there were so many Zhonglang generals at that time.After that, various forces also appointed a large number of their own subordinates to lead the army in the future to meet the needs of continuous military activities during this period, which made Zhonglang quickly disperse during this period.

It was precisely because Dong Zhuo, an old friend who had the grace of recommendation, had set an example in advance, Liu Biao made a decision after regretting it.

He ordered Huang Zhong and Liu Pan to garrison in You County, Changsha.

In name, it is natural that Huang Zhong, the general of the Zhonglang, is in charge, and Liu Pan, the school lieutenant, is the assistant, but in reality?

Liu Pan is Liu Biao's follower, can Huang Zhong order him, dare to order him?

As soon as this appointment was made, it was as if a basin of cold water poured directly on Huang Zhong's head.

He is not stupid, how can he fail to see the intention behind Liu Biao's appointment, the original enthusiasm and ambition suddenly disappeared.

In the original history, after being appointed, Huang Zhong obediently followed Liu Pan to Youxian County. Fortunately, Liu Pan was easy to get along with, and he was also a warrior, so he respected Huang Zhong. What kind of shoes to wear? Not long after he was stationed, Huang Zhong also got an idea, and voluntarily applied to be transferred to Diannong Zhonglang, and directly gave up his military power.

This is also the reason why Tai Shi Ci can beat Liu Pan so easily and has no power to fight back!

Because although Huang Zhong was in You County at this time, he didn't care about martial arts at all. Otherwise, regardless of success or failure, if Tai Shici and Huang Zhong fought, would there be no record?

("Taishi Cizhuan": Liu Biao was from Zipan. He was brave, counted as Kou Yuai, and the counties of Xi'an. So he divided the six counties around Haiyan and Jianchang, and took Ci as the captain of Jianchang, ruled Haiyan, and supervised all Will reject the Pan. The Pan will disappear and will no longer be a bandit.)
In the original history, all the princes in the world at that time came from aristocratic families like Liu Biao, and even relatively speaking, Liu Biao belonged to the group with more outstanding ability and reputation.

Since Liu Biao has family background and knows that Huang Zhong's abilities will not be reused, Huang Zhong naturally feels that other princes are even less likely.

In this life, Wang Zheng's birth turned out to give Huang Zhong, who wasted his time in You County, hope.

In the eyes of other famous generals and celebrities, Wang Zheng's identity as a yellow-turban bandit is a big negative point, but Huang Zhong is naturally not here.

He was originally one of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, one of the few who neither fought against the Yellow Turban bandits, nor became famous by beating the Yellow Turban bandits.

I am a grasshopper, you are a bandit, who looks down on whom.

But when Wang Zheng became more and more powerful and became the lord of Xuzhou, Huang Zhong finally made up his mind.

He made the only and biggest adventure in his life.

Give up the false title of General Zhonglang, leave his hometown and hometown, and go to a young man he has never met thousands of miles away
Find an opportunity!
Strive for a birth!
　Note: The origin of Huang Zhong in this chapter is speculated based on records, not historical records.

　　But I think it's reasonable.

　　Only his birth can let a general like Huang Zhong waste his time, and he will not be known to the world until he is about fifty years old

　　And why Tai Shici beat Liu Pan so easily, almost defeated in one blow, also made the author think that no matter what the reason was, Huang Zhong should not have participated in the war.

　　Otherwise, with the fighting power shown by Huang Zhong at the age of 60, no matter how fierce Tai Shici is, it is impossible to beat Huang Zhong, who is in his prime, and win without splash, right?
