The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 132 The Zhang brothers are talented, but it is difficult for them to succeed as members of the aristocracy

Luo Yuan and Huang Zhong introduced Zhang Ying and Zhang Qiao. "Zhang Ying, you will be Huang Zhong's deputy general in the future, and Zhang Qiao, you will be Xu Shu's assistant. I will assign you an official position when we return to Changsha."

Zhang Ying and Zhang Qiao hurriedly bowed and had no objection!

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang Ying and said, "He looks like a good general. The lord has found a talent!"

"How do you know Zhang Ying is a good general?"

"I see that he has a steady demeanor and a calm face. He has a natural demeanor when he stands. His eyes are bright and he is taciturn. His thighs are strong and powerful, so he must be good at fighting on foot!" Huang Zhong said with a smile, "My lord, don't you know that heroes appreciate each other?"

Huang Zhong is a macho man, and then the macho men fall in love with each other.

Well, that makes sense too.

Luo Yuan asked: "Has anyone signed up to join the army?"

Huang Zhong was suddenly embarrassed: "I am not doing my job well..."

Not a single person signed up!
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay. We're just starting today. Maybe everyone doesn't know the news yet. Just take your time. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Luo Yuan asked Zhang Ying and Zhang Qiao to recruit soldiers at the city gate instead of Huang Zhong, and he took Huang Zhong back with him.

When leaving, I looked back at the Zhang brothers. Zhang Ying was sitting there, as hard as a stone, and Zhang Qiao was already writing a notice!
One is calm, the other is smart

Luo Yuan nodded in satisfaction, Huang Zhong whispered: "There's something about these two people!"

"Nonsense, if there is nothing, how could his father let them follow me?" Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Zhang Ying can lead an army to attack all the way, and Zhang Qiao can be the county governor!"

Luo Yuan also has a very high opinion of these two people.

There are talented people everywhere in the Han Dynasty. It’s just that talents from poor families never get any opportunities. Chang'an is the place where the Han Dynasty has established its foundation for a hundred years, how could there be no talents there!

It’s just that everyone has different standards for talent, and what the gentry considers to be talent is completely different from what everyone else considers to be talent.

"The vast farmland is not my good crops. The nobles and aristocrats cannot use them!" Luo Yuan said with his hands behind his back, smiling, "I have the Zhang brothers today. In the future, there will be more people like them who will join me. Meng De and Uncle Liu are too narrow-minded."

Huang Zhong asked, "My Lord, do you know how Liu Yuzhou is doing now?"

"Well, Kong Ming helped him resist Meng De. Meng De will definitely raise a large army to take Jingzhou next year. Kong Ming has the ability to turn the tide, but he is powerless in the face of the general trend. Meng De will drive straight south, and Liu Huangshu will probably retreat to Jiangxia. Now? I guess Kong Ming is helping Liu Huangshu plan for next year. He will definitely contact Jiangdong to fight against Cao together. When Meng De goes south next year, Jingzhou will be shaken, Jiangdong will be uneasy, and the world will pay attention to Meng De. I will just take Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and other four counties as my foundation. At that time, I will need you to contribute!"

"It is my duty!"

Luo Yuan said: "I will expand the army later. With 500 personal guards as the backbone, I will expand the army into three armies. Each army will have 12,500 men. Han Sheng will lead one army, Gan Ning will lead one army, and I will lead one army myself. Then we will enter Changsha from Jingzhou. It will be easy to take Changsha!"

Huang Zhong was excited when he heard this: "Why not expand the army now?"

"Don't be like this. We are now in Meng De's territory. I have 30,000 troops. Meng De will be uneasy. How can he not worry that I will take his Guanzhong?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "We will take Changsha, which is the place given to me by the emperor. Then we can attack Xichuan, take Chengdu, enter Hanzhou and take Guanzhong. We can also go south to Jiaozhi and other counties. The world is very big."

Huang Zhong stopped talking at this point, Luo Yuan already had an idea in his mind!

He was attracted to Changsha because of its well-developed water conservancy and transportation, and because it was a place where he could grow crops. The Hunan soldiers were very fierce. Of course, there was no Hunan province now, but it didn't matter. He could go to Changsha, train his troops, and then the Hunan Army would sweep across the world!
Going south to Jiaozhi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, Meng De and others knew nothing about the international situation.

In short, Luo Yuan was well prepared.

When Xu Shu got home, he said, "General Ma Teng came to visit us. We have been waiting for a long time!"

Luo Yuan smiled. Ma Teng was near Chang'an, but he had never come to visit him before. Today he finally came.

Not hiding from me anymore?
Ma Teng looks very heroic and has a kind of rough and heroic spirit.

Luo Yuan looked at him for a long time. This man was a typical grassroots hero. "General, why are you here?"

Ma Teng was speechless. The situation in Chang'an was created by Luo Yuan alone. He could make clouds with just a flip of his hand and rain with just a twist of his hand.

Ma Teng didn't dare to look down on Luo Yuan, he just smiled bitterly and said: "Gongqi, what do you want from me?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Ma Teng felt bitter, "You asked Ma Chao to attack Han Sui. Now my son has become powerful and Cao Pi has come to Chang'an. I can't sleep. Gongqi, why don't you tell me what you want me to do? I will listen to you!"

"Meng De wants you to go to Xuchang to serve as an official. Don't be a vassal lord. Han Sui and you are not the same kind of people."

"Can Cao Cao trust me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As Ma Chao becomes more powerful in Guanzhong, Meng De must trust you. Only if you go to Xuchang can Meng De feel at ease with Ma Chao. Only when Ma Chao becomes more powerful can your safety in Xuchang be guaranteed!" Luo Yuan said, "Meng De is busy fighting against Uncle Liu and has no time to care about you and Han Sui. But you are occupying Guanzhong, Meng De feels uneasy and doesn't resist the foreign enemies. I am not happy about it. So of course I have to help Meng De abolish your alliance with Han Sui."

Luo Yuan hid his hands in his sleeves and looked at Ma Teng's distressed face like an old rich man: "What else don't you understand? Are you afraid of death? Don't worry, you are going to Xuchang as a hostage. If Meng De kills you, Ma Chao will definitely rebel. Even if Ma Chao rebels, you will definitely die."

Seeing that Luo Yuan was honest, Ma Teng said, "No one knows a son better than his father. Ma Chao is not a loyal person. I am afraid that I will die because of him in the future!"

"He's your son too. It's normal for a father to die for his son!" Luo Yuan said calmly.

Ma Teng's face twitched: "You?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm fine!"

Ma Teng laughed and said, "Luo Gongqi, don't you want the land of Sanfu?"

"Not interested!" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "What do you want Guanzhong for? You are nothing more than a local military leader. You are short-sighted and cannot accomplish great things, but you are not clear about your own abilities. You don't have the reputation of being a traitor to the Han Dynasty like Meng De, nor do you have the courage like Meng De. If you still want to be a military leader, you will be eliminated sooner or later. It is easy for me to take over the world. Meng De and I also said so!"

"If you are worried that Meng De will kill you, I will be your guarantor. I will tell Meng De that you have nothing to do with Ma Chao. Meng De can fight Ma Chao if he wants, but he won't kill you!" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "Meng De is a very easy person to talk to!"

Ma Teng was speechless, but Luo Yuan was so frank and explained everything clearly, so he knew that he must go to Xuchang.
Otherwise, Cao Pi’s knife might have chopped him down.

"I want to go to Xuchang alone!"

"can!"

"I still want Han Sui to be with me!"
