"My dear nephew, although I can help people transfer to Xiliang Cavalry, you need to pass a test if you want to transfer to Xiliang Cavalry. Li Jue, Guo Si and others under me are all battle-hardened soldiers. General, but failed to pass the test, so if you lack confidence in yourself or lack strength, it is best not to take the job transfer test."
This was Dong Zhuo's reply to Li Shushi's request to transfer to the Xiliang Cavalry. Li Shushi was unexpectedly happy. Dong Zhuo even said that as long as Li Shushi was confident in his men, he could come to him to accept the test.
Especially when Dong Zhuo knew that Li Shushi would take over the position of governor of Xihe later, he looked at Li Shushi carefully for a long time with his bloody eyes, and then said three times in a slow but powerful voice, " "Good" word.
Li Shushi has reason to believe that Dong Zhuo has a very good impression of him. And because of their origins, he and Dong Zhuo obviously have more in common than Cao Cao. It is easier for Lu Bu and others under him to get along with Li Jue, Guo Si and others under Dong Zhuo.
The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious. Although Liu Bei still seemed brooding about Lu Zhi's arrest, he also understood that Dong Zhuo and his men were definitely not as incompetent as he had thought before. Considering that if Dong Zhuo wins, he will inevitably make unfavorable comments such as "picking peaches", Liu Bei is more or less relieved.
As for Zhang Fei and Pan Gong, one can figure it out as long as he is willing to use his brain, and the other has been in the world for a long time and understands the ways of the world, so they both put aside their grudges and talked with Dong Zhuo's veterans about their achievements in the northwest. Come.
However, compared to the harmonious atmosphere in Dong Zhuo's camp, other places were not so harmonious.
"Bah, who is this Dong Zhuo? I heard in Beijing how powerful this guy was at the border. I thought he could destroy the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop. But what about now? If Mr. Lu Zhi's students hadn't arrived in time Please bring reinforcements, we may not even be able to see the sun tomorrow. And those damn eunuchs, sooner or later we will kill them all."
A seriously injured official's son was currently cursing the commander who was sitting in the Chinese military tent. Obviously, today's defeat is very likely to cause their achievements that they have earned with blood and sweat in the past few months to be wasted, and they are more likely to be grabbed by the eunuchs and severely hit them. All this makes these aristocratic families who once looked forward to the future extremely The disciples were caught off guard.
Yuan Shao was also sitting next to the fire with a livid face. Compared with other children of the aristocratic family, his current mood was obviously worse. Due to the arrival of Dong Zhuo, the clan members were transferred back to the northern border to resist the Xianbei and Huns who were ready to move. Other county soldiers such as Zhang He were also sent to the northwest of Jizhou to annihilate Zhang Niujiao's tribe with all their strength. Therefore, now the main force of the official army is Apart from the cavalry brought by Dong Zhuo, only the Northern Army cavalry led by Yuan Shao remained.
Originally, Yuan Shao thought that his chance to show his face had come, because both Liu Bei and Zhang He put Yuan Shao, a young man who lacked battlefield experience, under tremendous pressure. Although Yuan Shao didn't care about this pressure, their presence took away most of the light that Yuan Shao thought would belong to him. Not to mention the terrifying combat effectiveness of the clan members' border cavalry from northern Xinjiang and foreign races.
But what about the facts? Dong Zhuo obviously saw Yuan Shao's thoughts, so at the beginning of the war, Dong Zhuo placed Yuan Shao in a forward position and ordered Yuan Shao to lead the cavalry to attack the Yellow Turban Army.
For this task that would have felt a bit like sending someone to death if they were calmer, Yuan Shao and the children of the aristocratic families around him thought that this was a sign of Dong Zhuo's reliance on them, so they happily rushed out under the leadership of Yuan Shao.
As a result, Dong Zhuo successfully achieved his goal of faking defeat, and Yuan Shao fell into disgrace in less than an hour in the hands of Zhang Jiao, who still had some strength left. If he hadn't discovered that something was wrong, in another hour, the Yellow Turban Army would have completely devoured them like ants. But even so, more than one-third of the outstanding disciples from the aristocratic families stayed on the battlefield, and this was despite the fact that they all commanded more or less subordinates.
Yes, Yuan Shao did hate Dong Zhuo very much at this time. But unlike the grumbling son of aristocratic family, what he hated was not Dong Zhuo's incompetence, because he already understood Dong Zhuo's purpose. He also saw the performance of Dong Zhuo's direct troops in defeating without chaos in the battle, and understood that Dong Zhuo did have peace and harmony. His reputation matches his strength.
But precisely because of this, he hated Dong Zhuo even more, and hated why Dong Zhuo pushed the children of the aristocratic family to a dead end despite clearly not wanting to win the battle. Is that guy planning to become an enemy of the noble family? You must know that if Liu Bei and Li Shushi were not so far apart, I am afraid only a genius can know how much he and the disciples of the aristocratic families around him would have left.
Of course, heI also hate myself and my own incompetence. As the leader of this group of children from aristocratic families, if he could see Dong Zhuo's sinister intentions in time, then so much blood of the aristocratic family would not be in vain.
At the same time, there are more children of aristocratic families who are doing the same reflection as Yuan Shao. They have received enough education in the family, but their thoughts without practical experience will inevitably appear naive many times. However, after this bloody lesson, many people have a new understanding of their father's education. I believe that in the near future, a group of outstanding politicians will be born among them and will eventually be active on the political stage of the Han Dynasty.
After a long time, a young man from an aristocratic family who seemed to have gained something fiercely tore off the wine bag tied to his body and poured the wine in the wine bag into the bonfire. Almost at the same time, light blue flames began to rise from the bonfire. It came out and was accompanied by bursts of rich aroma. Then, he shouted loudly to the others.
"Well, we can't grieve any longer, otherwise those brothers would have died in vain. Then Dong Zhuo will definitely be punished in the future for doing such outrageous things today. But as for us, we have to continue to live. , for ourselves, for our family, and also for those brothers who died."
Yuan Shao glanced at the man curiously. This man was quite old, but he was well-kept, so that he didn't usually stand out among a group of young people in their twenties and thirties. However, at this time, Yuan Shao felt a little entangled in his heart, but he felt that it might not be a shame to have such a brother-like person to guide his future direction. Moreover, the momentum of the other party at this time also made Yuan Shao feel that the other party was definitely not an ordinary child of aristocratic family.
"What Xiongtai said is absolutely true. Shao is indeed a little decadent. I just don't know Xiongtai's surname."
"I am Chunyu Qiong from Hedong. I have admired Benchu's name for a long time. I believe that Benchu ??will be able to step out of the shadows and become the pillar of my great man."
The two people looked at each other and then smiled at the same time. Others around the campfire also felt that the somewhat solemn atmosphere seemed to gradually dissipate with the raised corners of their mouths.
At the same time, in the Yellow Turban Army headquarters in Guangzong City, the ultimately defeated Yellow Turban Army generals were also arguing fiercely.
"I'm definitely not wrong. It's definitely that shameless kid Li Xue. The 'Great Master' has been so kind to him. It's a shame that he has the guts to do such a despicable thing. And that Guan Hai, I usually thought that he was very kind to him. I, Taiping Dao, am so stubborn, but in fact, I am not the same as that Li Xue. A bunch of wolf-hearted things."
Obviously there are many people who hold similar views. After all, although Li Shushi is used to living in seclusion, they still recognize powerful men like Lu Bu and Dian Wei, as well as guys like Guan Hai who often appear on the school field. Besides, Li Shushi had not left Jizhou for a long time, and everyone's memory was not that bad.
Moreover, what Li Shushi did when he went south won a lot of hearts and minds for the Yellow Turban Army, so he was a familiar figure to the entire Hebei Yellow Turban Army. Even Zhang Jiao expressed that he would study hard based on Li Shushi's actions. . But now, Li Shushi has rebelled, which naturally arouses dissatisfaction among the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army present. After all, most of the people still sitting here are the most staunch and stubborn supporters of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. Let's go back."
After letting his men vent for a long time, Zhang Jiao issued an order in his now somewhat weak voice.
Although the current Zhang Jue seems to be as angry as a gossamer and can be defeated casually, everyone present does not think so, because a few days ago, a Yellow Turban traitor who planned to use Zhang Jue's head to receive the reward was killed by Zhang Jue's spell. Tortured to death. At this point, everyone understood that unless Zhang Jiao died, no one would have the strength to face this man who mastered the art of rape.
"Xiao Ning, come here." Zhang Jiao didn't call out until all his men left the living room.
"Here you come, father." The person walking next to Zhang Jiao was a young lolita. Her delicate face and charming figure all pointed to the wonderful future of the little lolita.
"Xiao Ning, it must have been several years since I adopted you." At this time, Zhang Jiao no longer had any majestic look on his face. He looked at the cute little Lolita in front of him lovingly. She seems very pleased with Loli's growth.
"Yes, it has been more than four years. If my father hadn't taken him in, I don't know which wild wolf Ning would have fallen into."
"Speaking of which, your father was also a close friend who co-founded Taipingdao with me. Every time I see you, I can't help but think of that busy but fulfilling time."??
Zhang Jiao's eyes seemed to be recalling something at this time, but soon, he gave up.
"Now the time of the Yellow Turban Army is running out. While the officers and soldiers are resting, I hope you can accomplish one thing for me. You can be considered as repaying me for the kindness I have given you in raising you over the years."
"Father" Little Loli saw Zhang Jiao looking a little decadent, and her two cute big eyes began to sparkle with tears.
"Good boy, listen to me. I want you to bring something and a letter to the officer Li Xue. You must hand it into his hands. Whether my ideal can continue depends on him. Do it. After this, if you are willing, you can stay with him. I believe he will take you in with my old face. If you are not willing, then go to Luoyang, where you may be able to help in the future. To him. As for the reason, you will know later."
"Didn't that bastard betray his father?" Little Loli had obviously heard about Li Shushi's "deeds".
"My ideal cannot be realized in this country, and he has always wanted to prove this to me. For the two of us, there is no issue of betrayal, it is just a difference in philosophy. Look at what he did Things will become clear. In addition, after leaving Guangzong, don¡¯t use Zhang Ning¡¯s name anymore. It would be better for you to change it back to your original surname.¡±
"Yes, Father." The little Loli bit her lips and finally agreed.
"Well, I will send my confidants to help you. They are all very reliable people. You can use them with confidence."
After saying that, Zhang Jiao took out a small package and handed it into the little Loli's hand like a magic trick. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The little Loli took the package, bowed deeply to Zhang Jiao, who was already asleep, and left the living room with tears in her eyes.
