    Chapter 376 My name is Niu Jin and I want to be a general

    Zhen Yao sat aside and listened to Tian Feng and the two chatting. It was not until an hour later that he spoke and said, "Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, you and the others are all in vain."  Although Ben Chu is a queen of a famous family, she is definitely not the current hero. With two great talents, they should not be foolishly loyal to Yuan Shao.  Zhen Yao is not talented, so I would like to ask you two to help me.  "

    Tian Feng and Jushou were silent after hearing this. Neither of them were caught just today.  Even Ju Shou, who was following Zhen Yao on the road these days, did not hear a word of persuasion from Zhen Yao to surrender.

    Zhen Yao didn't say it, but Ju Shou had to think about it. Since he became an official, he served Han Fu, and Han Fu was defeated by Zhen Yao.  By being loyal to Yuan Shao, I thought I could develop my ambitions, but I was hampered everywhere. Now Yuan Shao has also been defeated by Zhen Yao.

    In the past few days and nights, Ju Shou has been thinking about whether his life was saved by Zhen Yao and whether he should live in seclusion in the mountains or become an official, but he has never decided.  As for Tian Feng, after he was captured by Zhang Fei and others, no one asked him whether he would surrender. It was only when Zhen Yao came today that he asked.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  "

    Regarding Tian Feng¡¯s question, Zhen Yao didn¡¯t need to think too much to understand the old man¡¯s intention.  In the memory of his previous life, this old man should have been loyal to the big man rather than Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not have repeatedly refuted Yuan Shao's face.

    Since he asked this question, Zhen Yao knew what to answer. Can the westward march be achieved overnight?  "

    Having already occupied Luoyang, we can capture Tongguan immediately, and further west, we can reach Chang'an.  Although Chang'an City was just a city, it became different because there was an emperor in the city.  The meaning of Zhen Yao's words, according to Tian Feng's understanding, was to attack Chang'an and welcome back our emperor.

    Just when Tian Feng wanted to do it, Zhen Yao waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, Yuan Hao, don't worry, I will write down what you are thinking."  Ju, what do you think of marching westward?  Please also write it down with pen and ink.  "With that said, Zhen Yao waved to the guards on the side, and quickly walked into the room and took out all the pens, inks and papers.

    Tian Feng quickly took out a pen holder, and after thinking about it, Ju Shou also took the brush into his hand.  Both of them were great talents in the world, so naturally they didn't bother to peek at each other. They simply wrote a few words and stopped writing.

    But when the two of them looked at what the other person had written, they couldn't help but shake their heads.  What Tian Feng wrote was: "Serve the emperor to order but not the minister"; Jushu wrote "hold the emperor to order the princes". The difference in mentality and planning between the two can be seen from the surface of the text.

    Tian Feng shook his head because this close friend seemed to have really given up on the big man. He remembered that when the two talked a few years ago, although the other party was not so clear about returning his dynasty to the emperor, he would not say what was written on the paper.  .

    "If we have different paths and don't work together, if we have different ideas, I'm afraid we won't be able to be close friends in the future."  Because from the moment I wrote these two sentences, a layer of transparency and yet a gap has developed between the two of them.

    Jushou shook his head, feeling helpless at Tian Feng's temper. He was too straightforward and spoke straightforwardly in everything he did. Even such a sentence was written with explicit thoughts.  How did this make Zhen Yao, who was watching from the side, feel?

    After shaking their heads, the two of them were quite surprised by Zhen Yao's move. With just two pieces of paper, they not only found out what he wanted, but also created differences between the two people who were both under Yuan Shao's account.

    Zhen Yao could see the expressions of Ju Shou and Tian Feng.  This result was expected when he opened his mouth.  It's not that he can figure things out, but that Zhen Yao knows the character of these two people very well.

    As recorded in the history of previous lives, Jushou still proposed the political intention of "coercing the emperor".  It's just that the target has changed, it's not Yuan Shao, but  And Tian Feng, just like Xun Yu under Cao Cao, although he would help the Han princes to conquer the world, he still had the imprint of the Han deep in their bones, and this imprint cannot be healed by human power.

    Cao Cao was able to use Xun Yu, and even compared him to Wang Zuo. Zhen Yao felt that his capacity to accommodate people was no less than that of Cao A'ao. He immediately accepted the two notes with satisfaction and said with a smile, whether he is holding the emperor hostage or serving the emperor, Yao is the first to do so.  What they have to face are the other princes of the Han Dynasty.  "

    "Wars and disputes, ambition and lust can make a common man prosper, but they can also destroy others. Yao still has a long way to go, you two. I hope you can help me." After that, they bowed to each other.

    "Sir, pay homage to the lord." At this point, Tian Feng took a step forward and bowed to Zhen Yao.

    A faint wry smile flashed across Old Man Tian's lips. After Jushou stood up, he also bowed to Daofeng and met his lord.  "

    Zhen Yao laughed when he heard this, and then mentioned that he wanted to take the two of them away, but Tian Feng waved his hand and refused. He just wanted to remove the soldiers watching at the door so that he could feel more at ease.  As for where to live, Mr. Tian is not very particular about it.

    Tian Feng lives here,As a good friend of Tian Feng, Professor ? should have stayed with him.  However, he still has his mother and concubine at home, so it is natural that he can go home and live there.  And before he worshiped Zhen Yao as his master, his home was also under surveillance.

    Zhen Yao agreed with the two people's decision and left one servant at Tian Feng's command. Zhen Yao and Ju Shou walked out of the courtyard, accompanied by dozens of soldiers around them.

    After sending Ju Shou home, he also personally ordered to cancel the surveillance of Ju¡¯s family.  This kind of move made Ju Da's military advisor very moved. After thanking him again, he went home to get together with his wife, children and mother.  As for Zhen Yao, he was very satisfied with the successful acceptance of the two Han counselors. He returned to the prefect's mansion early and called Gao Lan over to have a drink and a banquet together.

    The war in Luoyang has stopped, and Zhen Yao's first task is to pay for a series of decrees issued by Yuan Shao.  It is hard to imagine that the prosperous imperial capital of the past was not burned down like in history, but it was also miserable.

    The lack of population is only a trivial matter, and exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are relatively easy to deal with. However, the fields under the rule are barren and autumn is about to begin. How much food can we have?  How should people live?

    Because he only had half of the Sili in his hands, and in fact only Henan and Hanoi were under Yuan Shao's control, Yuan Shao, who wanted to ensure his force, did the same thing as his brother Yuan Shu.  Men were recruited on a large scale, and many families were filled with women and children, not even a boy.  This made Zhen Yao, who was used to seeing men heading every household in Jizhou, feel helpless.

    Wanting to restore Luoyang to the level before the Yellow Turban War, Zhen Yao realized that this huge project could not be completed in one or two years.  And because of the rapid expansion in the past year, Jizhou's capital is about to bottom out, which shows that Zhen Yao really can't use weapons again.

    "After seizing Tongguan and letting Wenyuan guard the pass, it's time to return to Wuji." Zhen Yao sighed silently in his heart. Thinking of Wuji, the face of his beloved wife at home naturally appeared in his mind, and among them, Lu Lingqi's current 'bloated' appearance  , which made him look forward to it even more.

    Not to mention that Zhen Yao was busy with the restoration work in Luoyang all day long. Just talking about Tongguan, when Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao led troops to come to the rescue, Zhang Fei and Zhang Jia both looked excited.

    It was difficult for Zhang Fei to stop Tongguan and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew from attacking from both sides. After Zhang Jiao led his troops and horses to come to the rescue, he was able to divide his troops and fight without falling behind.  Now there are tens of thousands of cavalry coming to help, and all the generals are thinking that Tongguan will be captured in a short time.

    "Uncle, there is an urgent report from Nanyang." That night, Zhang Xiu ran into Zhang Ji's camp in the southeast of Tongguan and woke Zhang Ji up. Cao Mengde took advantage of our uncle and nephew to lead the troops outside and sent his subordinates.  General Xiahou Dun attacked Nanyang.  This is an urgent letter sent by Hu Che'er asking for help. Without reinforcements, it will be difficult to defend Wancheng with only 8,000 soldiers in the city.  "

    When Zhang Ji, who was still sleepy, heard this, he immediately panicked. Cao Cao?  Did he attack Nanyang?  "

    Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and nodded, handing over the urgent letter in his hand. It was Hu Cheer's handwritten letter. He was taught to write by his uncle, so it couldn't be fake. The soldiers who delivered the order were also Wancheng's personal guards.  "

    "Damn it!" Zhang Ji pounded the ground hard. He was not worried about anything else. He was only worried about whether his beautiful wife would be kidnapped by the general of the Cao family.  There are rumors that Cao Mengde likes women the most, and Zhang Ji is absolutely unwilling to wear this cuckold.

    "Uncle, how should we respond now?" Zhang Xiu frowned. According to the report from his sentry, Zhen Yao sent two more generals to rush to help. One was Baima Zhao Yun, and the other was Bingzhou Zhang Liao. Neither of them were  Easy people.  "

    Over the past few years, Zhao Yun¡¯s reputation has gradually emerged.  As for Zhang Liao, although he had no direct contact with Zhang Xiu, who was his former minister and served under Dong Zhuo, he had heard of his name.

    "What do you think my nephew should do?" Zhang Ji shook his head and sighed bitterly, and ordered to retreat immediately.  "

    Although retreating is the best option now, Zhang Xiu did not expect that his uncle would issue such an urgent order.  This was in the middle of the night. Without a torch, we couldn't see the road.

    Seemingly seeing his nephew's confusion, Zhang Ji helplessly said that Zhang Fei had reinforcements and would come to provoke him tomorrow.  If I don't leave tonight, I won't be able to leave tomorrow.  "After that, I got out of bed and got dressed without delay at all.

    Just as Zhang Ji¡¯s uncle and nephew thought, Zhang Jia and Zhao Yun came outside Zhang Ji¡¯s barracks the next day. After some scolding, the other party had already fled, and their expressions changed wonderfully.  After searching Zhang Ji's camp, they found that the other party had left in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of food, grass and baggage. Together, the two of them packed up all the usable items in the city and took them back to their own camp.

    The two men led the troops back to the camp. Zhang Fei was still attacking at Tongguan. Only Zhang Liao was left to guard the camp.  When he learned that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew had led the troops and left, Zhang Liao shook his head and laughed. The war seemed to be going too smoothly.

    Tongguan was guarded by Niu Fu himself, and Niu Fu had already lost many soldiers due to the battle with Yuan Bing. Later, he was able to barely resist Zhang Fei's offensive, all because Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were there to contain him.  NowadaysFei Fei was able to attack the city with all his strength, and his power was immediately revealed. After only half a day of attacking the city, half of Tongguan was lost.

    At noon, when Zhang Fei was about to rest for a while and continue to attack the city, the messengers in the camp suddenly appeared, bringing the news of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew's departure, and Zhang Jia, Zhao Yun and others asked him to withdraw temporarily and return to the camp to discuss.

    Zhang Fei immediately ordered to return to camp, leaving Niu Fu gasping for air at the critical moment.  When I returned to the barracks, I looked at the carts of food and baggage that had just been brought in. I couldn't help laughing and scolding Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew for being so timid. As soon as they heard that Zilong and Wen Yuan were coming, they ran away in fright.  "

    "I don't think so," Zhao Yun and his two men had just arrived and didn't know much about the war here, but Zhang Jia had enough understanding. When Zhang Fei said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and guessed that something had happened in Nanyang.  Yide might as well send out sentries to inquire about Nanyang. Maybe in a few days we will know why Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew have withdrawn.  "

    Zhang Fei responded with an indifferent attitude. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether Zhang Ji retreated or not, but he opened his mouth and nodded in agreement.  After that, the four generals began to discuss how to capture Tongguan. Although there were few soldiers at the pass and the defenders were not capable, there were still obstacles. Minimizing losses was what they needed to do.

    Four days later, Tan Shao, who left the camp and went south to Nanyang to inquire about news, told the news about Caojun's attack on Wancheng.  After hearing the news, Zhang Fei and others secretly thought that it was no wonder.  However, this news was not of much use to them, because Tongguan had been captured by four people at this moment, and only Niu Fu, the only guarding officer, fled back to Chang'an in embarrassment.

    Within ten months, Zhen Yao's edict came from Luoyang, leaving Zhang Liao with 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to guard Tongguan to prevent Chang'an.  The remaining generals can return to Luoyang.

    Zhang Liao readily accepted Zhen Yao's edict. Although he is still a general in Bingzhou, Zhen Yao's letter has stated that Zhang Liao, as the general Zhen Yao "borrowed" from Lu Bu, will temporarily obey Wuji's orders.

    This is just a formality. Both Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao understand that since he left Jinyang with Zhen Yao, he is not only a strong general under Lu Bu's account.

    In the blink of an eye, the Han Dynasty ushered in a new round of late summer and early autumn. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Jia also followed Zhen Yao's military orders and led their troops back to Luoyang.  At this time, Zhen Yao had already returned to his hometown. He handed over all the affairs of Luoyang to Tian Feng and appointed him as the governor of Sizhou. He left Gao Lan to guard Hulao to prevent Cao Cao from Yanzhou from taking Zhang Fei with him.  The people rode northward.

    Driving from Luoyang to Wuji, it was naturally impossible to arrive in one day. When sleeping in the village at night, Zhen Yao smiled and asked, "But haven't you returned to Jizhou for a long time?"  "

    As a scribe, Jushu could wield a sword twice, but his body structure was still very different from that of Zhen Yao and other military generals.  After riding a horse for a whole day, I almost collapsed as soon as I sat down.  Hearing Zhen Yao's question, he had no choice but to answer, so he forced himself to smile and nodded, saying: "My lord governs Jizhou. Compared with others, it is really a blessing to the people."  "

    "The people are always easily satisfied," Zhen Yao pointed to the nearby smoke with his right hand. As long as they can survive, they can have a full meal every day and add some vegetables. It doesn't matter whether there is meat or not.  When you are having fun farming, you can have a few sips of wine when you go back to your house; when it is windy or rainy, you have a sturdy house to live in.  Simple and honest, upright and hard-working.  "

    Jushou listened silently. As a counselor, he did not attach much importance to people's livelihood issues, but if the people could return to their hearts, it would naturally be of great benefit to his lord.

    After resting in the house for a while, a child wearing straw sandals suddenly opened the door and said to the two uncles, "Dad made boiled cakes" for you and asked Niu Wa to bring them to you.  "Behind the child, there was a boy who was slightly older than him and much stronger, holding a few scones in his hands.

    When eating in the countryside, you don¡¯t have to think about its deliciousness, because the only seasoning is salt, there are no eggs, and there is no meat, just a sesame seed cake baked with flour ground from wheat.

    Zhen Yao can still move around, so he naturally won't let a child walk in. He stood up and greeted him. After taking the food, he asked with a smile: "You call him Niu Wa, but he calls you?"  "

    "I call him Laihou." The child who opened the door was a little timid and didn't say anything. Instead, the 'cow baby' behind him shouted, playing in the forest, like a monkey, likes to crawl around.  "

    Hearing the person behind him speak, the child immediately stopped and turned around and said, "You can't catch me, and you, a cow, can't climb a tree."  "

    "I want to climb a tree. When I grow up, I will definitely be able to break the trunk." As he said this, 'Niuwa' showed a fierce look, and he will definitely have this ability in the future.

    "Bullfrog? Laihou?" Zhen Yao chuckled and walked into the house with his two children. After putting the food down next to Ju Shou, he turned around and asked what are your last names?  Call?  It's the name your parents gave you.  "

    "My name is Niu Jin," the young man said in a rough voice without fear of strangers.I have also expressed my ambition. "In the future, I want to become a general, just like General Gao." Because they are in the territory of Wei County, the most of these children are Gao Lan.

    The child seemed to be angry with the young man. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am a cow. From now on, I will also be a general."  "

    "Niu Jin? General?" Zhen Yao would not react to either of these two words, but when put together, they reminded him of a person: Niu Jin, who had great military exploits in the late Wei Dynasty in history, and became a general after he became an official.  .  Comparing the impression of Niu Jin's debut age and looking at the young boy now, there seems to be a lot of similarities.

    Even though there were some speculations in his mind, Zhen Yao was not prepared to take any action. He just encouraged the two children to move forward towards their goal.  After the two children skipped away, Zhen Yao couldn't help but think to himself whether you were Niu Jin who was so afraid of even Sima Yi that he had to kill him, since you admire Gao Lan, you will definitely look for him in the future.  "

    And Ju Shou, who has been behind Zhen Yao, seems to have noticed something. Does the Lord think these two children have the potential to be generals?  Why not take him back to Wuji for careful tutoring?  "

    Hearing this, Zhen Yao shook his head. If they can really become generals in the future, there won't be much difference whether they are in this remote mountain village or a very prosperous place.  But it¡¯s more natural. Without the constraints of a city, their growth will have no limit.¡±

    From Zhen Yao's mouth, one can always hear these strange remarks, but these words seem to have their own truth. Ju Shou knew that he was not Zhen Yao's opponent in debate, so he stopped talking and took a bite of the cake, then chewed hard.  .

    After dawn on the second day, Zhen Yao and others walked out of the house one after another, untied the ropes tied to the horses, thanked the people who took them in for the night, quietly left small pieces of gold, and prepared to continue on their way.

    Leading the war horse out of the village, Zhen Yao was about to get on the horse when he heard a voice from behind calling several uncles and uncles to say goodbye.  When Niu Jin becomes a general, he will come to see you." He was a little childish, but his words were full of firmness, which made Zhen Yao stand up with a smile on his face.

    "Drive~~" urging the mount on his crotch, Zhen Yao raised his right hand high in the air and waved it to the rear.
