I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 180 Zhang Fei who has improved a lot

Liyang Camp belonged to the standing troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was named after it was stationed in Liyang.

Because it is a military station directly under the central government and the imperial court's first barrier in the north, the equipment and elite level of the soldiers of the Liyang Camp are comparable to those of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.

It can be said that the most elite equipment of the Han Dynasty can be found in the Li camp.

After Zhao Yun received Liu Jian's order, he took Liu Jian's handwriting and went to Liyang Camp to meet the school lieutenant Zhang Fei in person.

The Liyang camp was heavily defended, and Zhao Yun was stopped by his scouts three miles away from the Liyang camp.

After asking about the situation, the sergeant of the Liyang Camp immediately led Zhao Yun to meet Zhang Fei.

After Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei, he was quite surprised, because he really didn't expect that Zhang Fei's age was not much older than him, that is, in his twenties.

But if you think about it carefully, Liu Jian is only 22 years old this year, and Zhang Fei, as Liu Jian's brother-in-law, naturally cannot exceed this age.

Liu Jian himself, as well as his righteous brother's direct descendants, are all such young and high-ranking figures, which makes Zhao Yun very envious and admirable. He deeply feels that he is still far behind Liu Jian and others. .

I still need to work hard, and the latecomers will prevail.

Zhang Fei sat in the main seat, dressed in black armor and a red hood, majestic and dignified.

This Li Yangying captain, whose rank is more than two thousand stones, makes him feel good!
After all, he is the leader of one side, and all soldiers of the three armies respect him. That feeling cannot be described in one or two sentences.

On his left is Sima Han Dang of Liyang Camp, Zhang Fei's second in command.

After Zhang Fei took the letter from Zhao Yun, he read it carefully, and then handed it over to Han Dang who was standing beside him.

When Han Dang took the letter and was reading it, Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and said, "This messenger has worked hard, what position does he have in Yecheng?"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Returning to the school captain, the last official is in the army of the pastoral department, and he is the Sima of another department."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was a little surprised: "You are so young, and you have been appointed as the Sima of another department in the army of the Ministry of Mushi? Why do you rely on it?"

Zhao Yun looked calm, and stood proudly: "The captain is young, so he has become the commander of a battalion. I don't know what the captain uses as a guard of honor?"

After hearing Zhao Yun's answer, Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

He pointed at Han Dang, the young man Zhao Yun, and said, "Yi Gong, I like this man! Why don't you tell your brother, how about transferring him to my Liyang Camp?"

Han Dang had just finished reading the bamboo slips in his hand, and then said: "Lieutenant, since this Zhao Sima can be reused by the young master, as an important post in the prefecture and county, and only under Cheng Demou in the Jizhou army, he must be the young master's right-hand man. , how can you easily give up your love and send him to our Liyang Camp?"

Zhang Fei didn't feel disappointed when he heard this, but laughed out loud.

"It's true what Yigong said! All the heroes in this world have been collected by my brother!"

Han Dang pointed to the bamboo slips and said: "The young master sent the letter, but he asked me to do two things. One is that the captain will lead the soldiers of the Liyang camp to Yin'an, Jizhou, and cooperate with the young master to practice martial arts. , to plan a big event, and the other thing is to let us help keep an eye on a few people."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "That's right, brother asked us to pay attention to the famous warriors in Jizhou, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan... But among these four people, I have only heard of two of them, and the other two People really don't know."

Han Dangdao: "The two people the captain knows are probably Zhang He and Gao Lan from Hejian Kingdom?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I don't want Yi Gong to know about these two people?"

Han Dangdao: "Naturally, I know that these two are well-known nobles in Hejian country! You and I have been in Jizhou for a long time, and we have heard of their names for a long time. I heard that these two have now been Hejian King Liu Kai conscripted, after Hejian King opened the mansion, they entered the Hejian King's mansion and helped him recruit troops!"

After Liu Hong was reminded by Liu Jian, in order to increase the weight of Liu's clan in the local area, after several considerations, he finally decided to give the princes and kings the right to open the mansion, so that the princes and kings who had been swallowing their anger for many years finally straightened up The rod became tough again.

Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, had just ascended the throne for four years. He was young and vigorous. Hearing that the princes and kings could open a mansion, he immediately put it into action.

Zhang Fei said strangely: "However, what Yan Liang and Wen Chou is, I seem to have never heard of it... You will go back and report this matter to my brother. I will pay more attention to Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the future."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "I'll go back and report to the envoy."

Zhang Fei called the sergeants of the Liyang Camp to take Zhao Yun down to rest.

After Zhao Yun left, only Zhang Fei and Han Dang were left in the camp.

Han Dang asked: "Captain, the young master has another plan for Yin'an. In your opinion, what is the strategy?"

Zhang Fei, who has practiced in the border area of ​​Bingzhou for several years, is no longer the reckless boy he used to be. As the commander of one party, he has been battle-hardened, and his knowledge and intelligence are far superior to those of his peers. It can be called a hero of the world.

Zhang Fei said in a deep voice: "Brother's meaning, I know in my heart that when he first took charge of Jizhou, people's hearts are not attached to him, especially in the local county of Jizhou, there are many people who want to divide power with brother!"

"At this time, my brother asked us to take action. One is to let the Jizhou clans know the importance of my brother, and the other is to let them know how powerful my brother is in Jizhou!"

Han Dang nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It's just that if you want to realize Shaojun's plan, you need to communicate with the bandits on the one hand, and discuss with the monitors of the Liyang camp on the other hand."

The so-called supervisors are the supervisors stationed in the army under the order of the emperor.

Its status in the battalion can be said to be higher than that of the school lieutenant. Although the caller does not have the right to command the army, he has the responsibility of supervision and supervision. Now that the central government of the Han Dynasty is consolidated, such a position should not be underestimated. of.

Not to mention anything else, a memorandum sent to Luoyang by the inspectors is enough for the school lieutenant who is in charge of the army to drink a pot.

Zhang Feidao: "You and I will work separately, monitor the visitor's side, and I will personally talk about it. As for how to negotiate with the bandits and fulfill my brother's entrustment, I will give Yigong full responsibility!"

Without any hesitation, Han Dang immediately stood up: "Don't worry, Captain, I will do my best to make this happen!"

……

After the division of labor with Han Dang, Zhang Fei went to meet the supervisor of Liyang Camp in person.

In the current Han Dynasty, all the camps including Liyang Camp and Duliao Camp were supervised by eunuchs.

Liu Hong of Luoyang can rest assured only when eunuchs serve as supervisors of the camps in various places.

After all, eunuchs are an extension of imperial power, and they are also the most loyal servants of the emperor, who can do their best for the emperor.

However, most eunuchs have a huge weakness.

If it was in the capital, under the deterrence of the imperial power, the eunuchs might not dare to magnify this weakness too much, but in the local area, without the restriction of the imperial power, the eunuchs would be somewhat lawless.

If it were Zhang Fei in history, who was a lieutenant in Liyang Camp, he would definitely not be able to negotiate and communicate with the eunuchs. If he didn't like one, he might tie the eunuchs to a wooden stick and whip him.

But Zhang Fei is different now.

After Liu Jian's training and Han Dang's restraint, Zhang Fei has made great progress in his sophistication.

Although it is still as fierce as fire, in some specific aspects, it is much more rounded.

Just like this time, Zhang Fei ordered people to prepare a huge amount of goods and luggage, and went to visit the eunuch Wu Cen, the supervisor of Liyang Camp.

In recent years, Liu Jian has always been very generous in terms of money to these brothers who have worked hard in the local area.

Every quarter, Su Shuang would send someone to give them a huge amount of "favor fee" for them to use to get through the superiors, and at the same time to buy the eyeliner of local thieves.

In Liu Jian's view, in the early stage of starting a business, other money can be saved, except for the cost of human relations.

But it is precisely because of Liu Jian's generosity in this regard that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others have been promoted smoothly in the local area.

Although Zhang Fei hated eunuchs, he had learned to hide his dislike.

Although Wu Cen, the supervisor of Liyang Camp, was greedy for money, Zhang Fei got along very well with him.

This is Zhang Fei's great progress.

"Hey, Captain Zhang, look, it's not a good year, how come you come here again? This, I'm so embarrassing!"

Although Wu Cen's words were polite, he still reached out and took out a piece of jade from the big box, stroked and looked at it greedily, his eyes were shining brightly, and the eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly. He reached out and patted Wu Cen's shoulder with such force that he almost patted him on the head.

I don't know if Zhang Fei did it on purpose.

Wu Cen rubbed his shoulders, looked at Zhang Fei with a look of resentment and resentment, and said, "Yide, don't use such force, Mr. Wu's body is weak, and he can't compare to you, a mighty general in the army!"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The Supervising Army is also a hero. I have watched the Supervising Army shoot arrows before, and I scored nine out of ten. Why should I be humble?"

If it were the old Zhang Fei, he would definitely not talk like this.

But now, I can say a few polite words of flattery.

Although Wu Cen is greedy, he is not the kind of person who has no bottom line, and he knows the truth about being short-handed.

He likes Zhang Fei very much, the captain. Ever since Zhang Fei became the captain of Liyang Camp, the tribute to him has never been cut off every now and then, and every time he wants to do something big, he will spend a lot of money on it. .

In addition, Zhang Fei's ability is indeed outstanding, and he has trained the sergeants of the Liyang Camp to be more skilled fighters than before, which also made Wu Cen appreciate him even more.

After coming and going, the prison camp and Zhang Fei formed a "profound friendship".

"Yide, do you have something to do? If you have something to do, just say it! Between you and me, why are you polite?"

Zhang Fei sighed, and said: "Actually, there is really an important matter. I need to supervise the army and I, and report to the court in writing at the same time."

"What's the matter?"

"Move troops to seek thieves!"

Wu Cen nodded suddenly, it turned out to be the case.

The soldiers of the Liyang Battalion were ordered to garrison Liyang, and they were not allowed to move lightly, but if there was an emergency, they could still move their troops.

Now Zhang Fei wants to move troops under the pretext of begging for thieves. According to the rules, there is nothing wrong with it.

Just because if you want to move troops, you must have the battalion colonel and supervisor to report to the court in handwriting at the same time, that is to say, both the chief general and the supervisor must agree.

However, the chief generals and lieutenants of the various battalions of the Han Dynasty are almost all related to the court officials.

But the supervisors of each battalion are all eunuchs.

Therefore, the chief generals and supervisors of each battalion are basically in the same position as fire and water, and cannot blend in with each other.

It would be impossible for the two of them to agree at the same time.

Unless it was a direct transfer order from Luoyang, the chances of each battalion taking the initiative to send troops to distant places were almost zero.

But right now, Liyang Camp seems to be an exception.

Captain Zhang Fei and eunuch Wu Cen get along like brothers!

The brotherhood of others is a friend of death and death, but that of Zhang Fei and Wu Cen is a "friend of bribery".

"Where are you going to deploy your troops?"

"Wei Commandery is Yin'an."

"Oh, that's not too far away, are there a lot of thieves over there?"

Zhang Fei said affirmatively: "Many, too many! Bandits and bandits are rampant. If you don't send troops to deal with them soon, it will become a serious disaster! The supervising army may also have heard of it. I, Zhang Fei, is an old official of Liu Deran, the shepherd of Jizhou. Now my old friend is appointed. In Jizhou, suffering from bandits, I send troops to help at this time, not only to repay the country's favor, but also to maintain personal relationships!"

"Well, Yide is a man of loyalty and loyalty, which is really rare. If I don't agree, won't it damage the reputation of loyalty!"

When Wu Cen spoke so far, he agreed without a doubt.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei smiled a little.

He cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your help! If you can wipe out all the thieves this time and relieve Jizhou's troubles, all the property and goods captured by the bandits will be given to the supervising army!"

Wu Cen Dayi waved his hands aggressively, and said, "How can I be such a greedy person? Yi Demo underestimated me!"

After finishing speaking, he saw him reach out his hand and take out another tiger-pattern crystal goblet from the box, and began to play with it fondly.
