I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 28 Whose general is this?

When the group arrived at Zhending, Cao Hong was the most excited. He was still the protected party during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but now he could finally show off the martial arts he had practiced for many years.

These days, he never leaves his armor, and when he encounters marauding rebels, he takes the lead and rushes forward.

If there were more rebels, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan would also lead people to follow them.

The rebels came and went in a hurry on horses, in order to plunder more places, and their scale was generally small. It was rare to see more than a hundred people.

In the final analysis, it is to bully the weak military equipment of the inland counties. However, as the newly recruited county soldiers from various counties in Jizhou gradually came into play, the rebels who came here to plunder became more and more united.

Along the way, some people who heard that Liu Yu was going to Youzhou to fight against thieves volunteered to join the army, and some even came to seek refuge just by hearing Liu Yu's name.

As soon as they arrived at the Zhending border, Cao Hong, who was clearing the way ahead, saw dozens of cavalry approaching, most of them wearing very obvious Wuhuan attire outside the Great Wall.

"What a coward!" Cao Hong cursed angrily, raised his horse and shouted, "Come on, follow me!"

There were more than twenty people behind him, all of whom were elites wearing armor.

Upon seeing this, the dozen or so horsemen hurriedly dismounted and turned around. Fortunately, they had grown up on horses, so they did not fall off, but fled on the way back and forth.

Upon seeing this, Cao Hong pointed out someone to notify Cao Cao, and chased after him with the remaining people.

He didn't run far when he saw a dozen cavalrymen fighting with a single man.

I saw that man with a white horse and a silver spear. Before engaging in battle, he fired several arrows and killed him with the arrows.

After the battle, even though he was protected by iron armor, the man was not reckless. The horses under him were like arms and fingers. He would often fight with two or three people, and he would definitely kill them if he took action.

With outstanding martial arts skills and the advantage of armor, these dozen Huqi were no match for them.

Cao Hong originally planned to help, but when he saw this posture, he led others to cheer.

"Zi Lian, your brother is still worried about your greed for fame and rashness. What are you doing here?"

Cao Hong's cheers stopped suddenly, and when he looked back, it was Xiahou Dun whom he was more in awe of.

He immediately pointed to the man with the white horse and silver spear and showed it to Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun looked at the ownerless horses and the cavalrymen who were chopping melons and vegetables, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect someone to be so brave! Whose general is this?"

Seeing that all the Hu cavalry were wiped out, but the cavalry general was unscathed, he hurriedly shouted: "Wu that cavalry general, someone is under the command of the right general Liu Youzhou. Who are you? Whose subordinates are you?"

The cavalry commander then rode over, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with Cao Hong's behavior of watching the show. He did not dismount in the face of a superior official who was obviously higher than him. He held his hands on the horse and said: "This is Zhao Zilong of Changshan, now Changshan County." The soldiers are very long."

Xiahou Dun was interested in recruiting, but he didn't take it seriously and asked, "I see that you are very brave. Now Liu Shijun is calling on righteous men from all over the country to go to Youzhou to suppress the rebellion. Are you willing to go with him?"

"May I ask who Liu Shijun is?" Zhao Yun asked.

"It is Liu Shijun who previously served as the governor of Youzhou, the prime minister of Ganling a few years ago, and has been serving as Zongzheng since then. Now Liu Shijun is worshiped as the right general and the governor of Youzhou, and is ordered to quell the rebellion in Youzhou."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands again and said: "I have heard about Liu Shijun's reputation in the past and knew that Liu Shijun can implement benevolent policies. I was willing to follow him, but I have been recruited as a county soldier and cannot leave my post without permission."

"No problem, why don't you come with me to see Ambassador Liu now?"

Xiahou Dun warned Cao Hong not to take advantage of others, and then took Zhao Yun to visit Liu Yu.

When Liu Yu saw Zhao Yun's handsome appearance, he naturally liked him more. Hearing Xiahou Dun's talk about Zhao Yun's bravery and his ability to kill dozens of barbarians with one man, he immediately fell in love with his talents.

Liu Yu immediately examined Zhao Yun. He saw that Zhao Yun's speech and behavior were neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked like a general. Even if his background is lower, it doesn't hurt, but it can make him think more preciously.

Liu Yu was very satisfied.

Hearing that Zhao Yun had just been recruited as a county soldier and was now just a commander in charge of ten people, Liu Yu immediately said that Zhao Yun's military exploits just now were enough to become a military commander.

Military Marquis is Liu Yu's ceiling for promotion in the army as the right general. At present, the majesty of the imperial court is still there, and the system is still functioning. When the military marquis ascends to the upper-level official positions in the army, such as military fake Sima (deputy), military Sima, and captain, they must first submit a memorial and obtain approval from the central government.

This is enough to show Liu Yu's love for Zhao Yun.

As for Zhao Yun's status as a soldier of the Changshan Kingdom, it was not a problem for Liu Yu. He was not so pedantic that he could not even steal talents with others.

It just so happened that Zhending County, the hometown guarded by Zhao Yun, was also Liu Yu's destination, so he went in both directions.

Such a brave man has become someone else's general! Although Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun with envy, he was not so selfish at this time and had not yet developed the idea of ​​forming his own military team.

At the same time, he also understood that the person in charge of Youzhou's military was Liu Yu after all, and he was just Liu Yu's assistant.

However, Cao Cao thought that after arriving in Youzhou, Zhao Yun would be under his command!

Liu Bian, who was far away in Luoyang, didn't know that under his influence, the Han Dynasty focused most of its energy on Liangzhou. Liu Yu went to Youzhou a year in advance to quell the rebellion, so Jie Hu would lead the rebellion a few years later. The rebels in this county defected to Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan's commander.

Also because of Liu Yu's good reputation in Youzhou and Jizhou, he received Zhang Yan's help.

However, Liu Bian did know that his appearance had caused some chain reactions that were beyond his control.

It's just a pity that some things still won't change.

In July, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, rushed to report that Quxing, a man from Changsha County, rebelled. He called himself a general and gathered more than 10,000 people to attack the city. In addition, Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others raised troops in Lingling County and Guiyang County, echoing Ou Xingyuan.

The local government was unable to suppress it.

This is the third large-scale rebellion this year, involving three counties in Jingzhou.

No one dared to hide this from Emperor Ling.

When Emperor Ling learned about it, he was very angry as Liu Bian expected.

The first person to feel the anger of Emperor Ling was none other than Taiwei Zhang Wen.

There were many rebellions during his tenure. The emperor was not a stickler for the pot, so it was only the lieutenant who took the responsibility.

However, Emperor Ling also understood that Zhang Wen was mainly doing the logistics and other work for the 40,000 troops currently fighting against the rebels in Liangzhou in Sanfu. If Zhang Wen was suddenly removed from office, his successor might not be able to do a good job.

So Zhang Wen completed the transformation from Taiwei to Sili Xiaowei in one day.

Sili Xiaowei is responsible for supervising the seven counties of Kyoto and Jingzhao, including Henan Yin and Sanfu. Although it is more than two thousand stones, it is like a state governor, with a low but powerful position, which belongs to the Han family tradition.

In this position, Zhang Wen can still continue his previous work and provide logistical support for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Situ Cui Lie succeeded Zhang Wen as Taiwei.
