Chapter 54
In the hall, all the banquets were prepared, and everyone was seated separately. Zhao Qian was the first, Tian Feng was the second, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were seated in turn, and Su Huan was at the end.

Zhao Qian picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "The first victory in this battle against the Yellow Turban Bandits is all thanks to Mr. Tian's strategy and the bravery of all the brothers. The soldiers work hard, and this county respects everyone!"

Several people here raised their glasses one after another, and drank the wine in the cup with Zhao Qian.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Zhao Qian put down the wine glass, sighed and said: "Although we won the victory, it has little effect on the overall battle situation. The thieves in Guangzong, Yingchuan, Nanyang and other places are huge, so we should not be underestimated." watch for."

"Brother, what are you afraid of? Give me Lao Zhang 2000 people, and I Lao Zhang will go to Guangzong to bring back Zhang Jiao's head!" Zhang Fei said nonchalantly.

"You can't make mistakes in Yide. Even Bei Zhonglang General Lu Zhi and his army can't break through Guangzong in a short time. Don't be careless!"

Zhang Fei had nothing to say immediately, Tian Feng twisted his beard with his hand and said: "Magistrate Zhao, I have a question. When I sent troops to Zhuo County, it can be said that the distance between the two places is not far away. I sent troops for self-protection. Now if I want to send troops elsewhere, why not?" What is the teacher's name?"

Zhao Qian was taken aback, but before he could speak, Zhao Yun said, "Mr. Tian, ​​the imperial court issued a notice a few days ago that all states, counties and counties can recruit soldiers on their own. We are following orders."

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the imperial court's document only gave the states and counties the right to recruit troops, but did not give them the right to send troops. If you send troops rashly, you may be provoked by some people afterwards. At that time, you will become guilty if you have meritorious service. Regret it." It's too late."

"What? We helped the court suppress the Yellow Turban Bandit, and they still want to punish us?" Zhang Fei shouted with his eyes wide open.

"Don't be angry, Yide. The old man just said that there is a possibility." Tian Feng said.

Zhang Fei looked at it and quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Tian, ​​don't misunderstand, I, Old Zhang, are not angry with you. What do you think we should do?"

Zhao Qian also said: "Mr. Tian please advise."

Tian Feng nodded, and said calmly: "This matter is easy to handle. As long as the merits of Zhuo County are presented to the court, they will be officially rewarded and given the right to lead the army, and then they can send troops to attack the bandits. .”

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Zhao Qian nodded. The so-called injustice is not right. He is just a county magistrate and has no court call, which is very easy to cause misunderstandings.

"Just as Mr. Tian said, the heads of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao were sent to Luoyang to ask the emperor for credit." Zhao Qian said.

"Haha, the county magistrate must not know much about the affairs of the court. If you go hastily, you may not be able to get any credit." Tian Feng laughed.

Zhao Qian frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Tian mean by that?"

Tian Feng twisted his beard and said: "In the current imperial court, the emperor favors the ten permanent attendants. If these eunuchs are not given some benefits, it may be difficult for them to be heard by the emperor."

boom!
Zhang Fei slammed the table down and scolded: "The lives of the people are miserable now, and it's all caused by these stray dogs. I heard that the Yellow Turban Bandit conspired with that Feng Qiao before. These stray dogs have nothing good!"

Zhao Qian glanced at Zhang Fei, sighed, and then asked Tian Feng: "Then what does Mr. Tian think I should do?"

"According to the old man, it is necessary to prepare a heavy obeisance to pay homage to one of the ten permanent attendants, the captain of the military school, Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo, and hand over the thief's head and merit list to him. After he accepts the gift, he will naturally try his best to ask for credit from the emperor's side. .”

Zhao Qian nodded, giving gifts and going through the back door have been the way to promotion since ancient times, and the same principle has been the same throughout the ages.

Tian Feng paused and said: "This matter is of great importance, it is better to send someone casually. The old man suggested that Zilong can go there. Zilong has a delicate mind. Let him go, and this matter can be accomplished."

"Zilong, would you like to go to Luoyang?" Zhao Qian turned around and asked.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and replied: "Zilong is willing to go to Luoyang to ask for credit for elder brother!"

"Okay, everyone, drink this cup to the brim!"

Later, Zhao Qian ordered Li Tao, the county lieutenant, and Su Quan, a big household in the county, to go to various places to buy treasures. They got some pearls, agates, and suede. Zhao Qian prepared a box of gold for Zhao Yun to take with him.

Thanks to the extermination of the bandits in Fuyan Mountain before, the income is quite rich, otherwise, there is no financial support.

Zhao Yun took gifts and was escorted by Su Huan and a dozen other cavalry soldiers, and headed for Luoyang.

Not to mention that Zhao Qian, Zhang Fei and others were training soldiers in Yi County, but only Zhao Yun, with a jade dragon horse on his crotch, escorted a cart of gifts to Luoyang.

According to Zhao Qian's instructions, Zhao Yun avoided the place where the Yellow Turbans were troubled. After more than ten days, he finally arrived at the first city - Luoyang!
There are layers of checkpoints around Luoyang. Even if Zhao Yun showed the relevant documents, he was still unreasonably exploited. Zhao Yun patiently and carefully checked before entering Luoyang City.

If it were Zhang Fei, he would probably have fought with the guards long ago, not to mention asking for credit, I am afraid that he would be directly accused of treason.

Zhao Yun first found the post and arranged to live there, then left Su Huan to guard him, took two soldiers with him, took the gold prepared by Zhao Qian, and went directly to pay homage to Jian Shuo.

After passing the report, Zhao Yun was brought into Jian Shuo's mansion to wait. The three of Zhao Yun stood in the hall. After a while, suddenly there was a high-pitched voice from outside, which made Zhao Yun listen. , I couldn't help getting goose bumps all over my body.

"Who came to see us?"

Zhao Yun knew that it was Jian Shuo who was coming, so he hurriedly went up to meet him. He was tall and tall, looking strong and powerful, his face was white and beardless, but he was dignified.

"Under Zhao Qian, the county magistrate of Xiayi County, Zhao Yun, the horse archer, meet General Jian!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists.

When Jian Shuo heard this, he frowned, why did a subordinate of a small county magistrate also come to see him?But when he heard the other party calling him general, he was still very happy.

The emperor set up eight school lieutenants in Xiyuan to divide power and He Jin, and Jian Shuo was the head of the eight school lieutenants, but many officials looked down on him as an eunuch, so no one regarded him as a school lieutenant Put it in your eyes.

Zhao Yun's call of "General Jian" hit Jian Shuo in his arms. If not, Jian Shuo would have ordered someone to drive out this county magistrate's horse archer long ago.

Jian Shuo hummed and said, "Come on, what do you need us for?"

Zhao Yun couldn't get used to Jian Shuo's tone, so he could only bear with it and said: "My county magistrate admires General Jian's name, and specially ordered Zhao Yun to come and pay a visit, come and bring gifts."

Two soldiers obeyed the order and came to Jian Shuo with two wooden boxes in both hands. He opened the lid of the box. Jian Shuo glanced inside and couldn't help taking a breath. The two boxes were actually filled with gold. !

Jian Shuo coughed lightly, and ordered: "Come on, pass on the word, we won't see any guests today, take the two of you to the side hall, and treat them well."

Seeing Zhao Yun nodding, the two soldiers followed Jian Shuo's servants to the side hall with a wooden box in their hands.

Although Jian Shuo loves money, he also knows that the other party can't really admire him, so he sent him two boxes of gold, which must be asking for something.

"Tell me, it's just the two of us here, what does your county magistrate want us to do?"
