Gan Ning gave the first credit to Su Fei without hesitation, Su Fei had already died in battle, and Lu Bu didn't know what to give! In the end, under the suggestion of Liu Wei and Chen Gong, Lu Bu and Liu Wei wrote a letter to Xu Du in the name of General Zhengnan and General Dongping, and made Su Fei the Marquis. For thousands of years, whoever has been scolded and won the title from three thousand miles away has always been worshiped and needed by the civil servants and military generals in history. Liu Mang and Lu Bu are just two ordinary copybooks, but they have won Gan Ning's heart unknowingly.
Because Gan Ning is very rebellious, he joined Lu Bujun just for a better stage, so that he can meet the heroes of the world. If Lu Bujun can't give him this stage, then Gan Ning will not hesitate He just left, but now the two copies of the documents moved Gan Ning, because the ancients cared too much about the title of Marquis. Although he was only a small Marquis of Hanzhong, Gan Ning began to turn his heart to Lu Bujun!
Although Gan Ning rejected his first contribution, Lu Bu still did not treat Gan Ning badly. He named Gan Ning a lieutenant of Hengjiang. This is a general with a miscellaneous name. The titles of the King of Shu and General Zhengnan are there, Liu Mang can open a mansion, and the title of a general is naturally not a problem.
The battle on the river in Wancheng Shuizhai not only wiped out the Wancheng navy, but also captured many people. Lu Bujun has selected 5,000 troops from among those prisoners to join Gan Ning's navy. The navy has 12,000 people. An army has been formed.
Huang Zhong, Lu Bu named Huang Zhong a brave general, and also a miscellaneous general. Lu Bu asked Huang Zhong to recruit 3,000 people to lead an army, but Huang Zhong refused. He just wanted to be by Liu Mang's side. A personal guard, Lu Bu happened to be worried about Liu Mang's safety, so he agreed.
Xu Sheng was named General Wei Lie, and the 3,000 black chess army had only half of them left. Lu Bu was not stingy, so he allocated nearly 2,000 people to Xu Sheng to let him reorganize the army. Although they died in battle, those heavy armors are still there. As long as someone goes through half a year of training, they can become an army.
As for Liu Mang, the city management army, who pulled in those two thousand Danyang soldiers, the fighting power of these two thousand Danyang soldiers is amazing, they are brave and good at fighting, but they have no military discipline. It should be said that it is difficult for anyone to restrain them, and now there are With the Third Grand Master here, Chu Ziying didn't dare to jump too much, and other Danyang soldiers dared to jump, so they had to see if they could beat Chu Ziying if they had fought well, and the hard fist was the boss. With the heavy armored giant shield of the city management army, these Danyang soldiers are quite impressive.
Cheng Yu is also rising. Although he did not participate in the offensive and defensive battle of Wancheng this time, he reported to Lu Bu Bingzhou Wolf Rider. In addition, Cheng Yu himself has a certain ability to command the army by force. Liu Mang simply threw the city management army to Cheng. Commander Yu, Cheng Yu is no longer a military commander but a partial general.
Although the number of troops under Zhang Fan and Gao Shun has not changed, they have been promoted respectively, General Gao Shun Houde, General Zhang Fan Suiyuan.
It is Liu Kai and his son, Liu Kai was appointed as the Wancheng magistrate, Liu Neng was supposed to be put in place, but Liu Neng insisted on following Liu Mang's side.
Huang Xu replaced Cheng Yu's original position and became Cheng Yu's deputy commander in chief of the city management army.
Although Chen Deng lost Shu Cheng this time and was almost killed, Lu Bu still added General Suinan to Chen Deng in order to appease Chen Deng.
Zhang Liao Zangba, who was far away in Shucheng, was also named General Wolf Rider and General Taishan.
Chen Gong's official position remains unchanged, he is still the military advisor of the entire Lv Bu army, and he does not need much official position, his existence is irreplaceable in the Lv Bu army.
As for Liu Mang, only the one in Xudu can give him a reward for his official position. The only reward that Lu Bu can give Liu Mang is to marry Miss Lu in Wancheng ten days later.
After rewarding all the generals, the rest is to deal with the captives. Gan Ning caught a big fish this time. Lu Su, Lu Zijing, a military commander of the Jiangdong Army, and Jiang Qin have been directly chopped into meat by Gan Ning to vent his anger. However, Lu Su was arrested by Gan Ning and kept in prison. Persuade Lu Su to surrender? That is an impossible thing at all, not to mention that people like Lu Su and Lu Bujun have different ideas and thoughts, but just say that Lu Bu's reputation as a house slave of the three surnames, don't expect Lu Su to stay and be Lu Bujun's adviser! In this world, there is only Chen Gong who can not care about the eyes of the world.
And Lu Su is now a big bargaining chip in the eyes of Lu Bujun, so what does Sun Cejun want to talk about! He has dispatched messengers.
"Old man Chen, is this Yang Hong really reliable!" Liu Mang was a little puzzled, because the emissaries sent by Sun Ce this time were Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu. Those who can clearly see the general trend of the world are no worse than top strategists like Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Xu Shu!
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhao traveled south to Yangzhou to avoid war. When Sun Ce started his business, he appointed him as the chief history officer and general of Fujun Zhonglang. If this was the case alone, then Liu Mang would not worry about it. The key point is that Liu Mang has also seen the Three Kingdoms, and he still has a little understanding of Zhang Zhao. In particular, before Sun Ce died, he entrusted his younger brother Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao, and even said that if Zhongmou didn't do anything, the king would take it himself. If you can't win the battle, you can walk west slowly, and you don't have to worry about it!
What does this mean? It means that if Sun Quan can't do it, you can lead Jiangdong's affairs by yourself! Such words were also said in Liu Da'er's mouth. At that time, Liu Da'er was already the Emperor of Shu. That's what he said to Zhuge Liang in Tuogu in Baidi City.
And Zhang Zhao in Jiangdong is to Sun Ce what Zhuge Liang is to Liu Bei. The only thing Zhang Zhao was criticized for was the Battle of Chibi. thought!
You must know that the entire Three Kingdoms basically praise Liu Bei and Liu Daer, so they will naturally beautify Zhuge Liang. Zhang Zhao knows that Sun Quan is actually a tolerant person. people! This can be seen from how many times Sun Quan has proclaimed himself emperor and how many times he has proclaimed himself a minister like Wei Guo, but Zhang Zhaohui can't see what kind of person his lord is. Qiuhe used other people's words to persuade Sun Quan, but the result was very successful. Sun Cejun and Liu Beijun were able to defeat Cao Cao in Chibi together, which had a great effect on Zhang Zhao's overall planning in the rear. Zhang Zhao is like Zhang Liang and Guan Zhong to Sun Ce! The most recent influence on Zhang Zhao and Liu Mang was when he attended Sun Ce's wedding in Anhui City. Zhang Zhao broke his own situation of rectifying the Jiangdong gentry by raising his hand.
And now Jiangdong sent such a great god to talk about it. If it was Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely pull old man Chen up to fight Zhang Zhao. These two talents are equal opponents, not Yang Hong, Yang Hong Hong was almost silent in Lu Bu's army, not because he was pretending to be deep, but because he was really not a counselor. Some of the suggestions he gave Yuan Shu were good, and even superfluous, such as To attack Liu Bei, at that time Xuzhou had already been occupied by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei only had a few cities. Anyone with a plan should know that at this time, it should be with Liu Bei to deal with Lu Bu or directly sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight to get the most However, Yuan Shu ran over to beat Liu Bei abruptly. Liu Bei became weaker and weaker, while Lu Bu secured Xuzhou's top spot even more firmly.
"Don't worry, that retainer of yours doesn't just have that little ability!" Chen Gong stroked his beard with a smile and smiled. It is true that Yang Hong is not a counselor, but don't forget that there are lengths and inches, and Yang Hong Hong may be inferior in strategy, but in diplomacy, Chen Gong also thinks he is inferior!
How did you know Yang Hong and Yang Hong's ability when you were Chen Gong? That's because Yang Hong was once the long history of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were still in the honeymoon period at that time! And Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's chief diplomat. How did you become Miss Lu and Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao? Jun's bargaining chip is that if you want to form an alliance with me, Yuan Shujun, you have to send your precious daughter. Who doesn't know that Lu Bu has only one daughter, and getting Lu Bu's daughter is equivalent to getting Lu Bu's country. There was another Chen Rui who married their lord, but this Chen Rui was directly killed by Lu Bu.
The same words were said by different people, and there were two results directly. When Yang Hong spoke, Lu Bu even planned to send his daughter to Shouchun himself, but when Chen Rui said, he was killed by Lu Bu directly! Lu Bu even angered Sun Ce because of Chen Rui, which led to the Battle of Lujiang.
"That fat man Yang is really so powerful?!" Liu Mang really didn't understand. That fat man didn't speak all day, so he stayed in his own mansion or read in his study. He didn't expect him to be in Chen Gong's Such a big place in my heart!
"Just wait for the good news!" Chen Gong left with a smile.
In Wancheng, in a large courtyard, two middle-aged scribes were drinking water.
A middle-aged scribe has very regular facial features, showing the appearance of a virtuous person when he raises his hands and feet, while the other chubby scribe is very casual, as if this is his own home.
These two people were Zhang Zhao and Yang Hong. Originally, when Zhang Zhao came to Wancheng, he should be received by Lu Bu first, but following Yang Hong's suggestion, not only was Zhang Zhao not received by Lu Bu, he was not even allowed to enter the prefect's mansion. Instead, he was dragged into this mansion by Yang Hong and drank tea.
Zhang Zhao is very calm on the surface, but his heart is surging "This is the first time, the first time that Zhang Zhao couldn't guess another person's thoughts, and it was also the first time that Zhang Zhao ate it unintentionally." A loss!"
The purpose of his coming here is to find Lu Bu's army for peace talks. He never expected that the lord's 100,000 troops would flee back in embarrassment with only 5,000. Even the most elite Jiangdong navy and 5,000 Yuzhou iron cavalry were lost. General Ci fled back. General Zhou Tai, General Chen Wu, General Dong Xi, and General Jiang Qin all died on this land. These people met each other just a few months ago, but now they are two people. separated.
After losing the battle, this is not the reason for Zhang Zhao to come to the peace talks. He came here because Lu Bujun has Lu Su in his hands, the leaders of the Jiangdong gentry, and even the young lord of the gentry, the patriarch! These people are Zhang Zhao's first purpose of coming this time. The second purpose is because Lu Bu's navy is still in the Yangtze River, and it has been going up the river these days. One of the elite sailors was wiped out by Lu Bu's navy, one was guarding Jiangdong in the hands of Sun Ce's brother Sun Quan near Kuaiji, and the other was in the hands of Zhou Yu in Jiangxia. If this one wiped out the Jiangdong navy Lu Bujun went to Jiangxia to reach an agreement with Liu Express in Jingzhou, and then the Jiangdong navy would have a lot of fun. If you don't cooperate with Jingzhou Liu Biao, standing there will also affect the morale of the Jiangdong navy. Zhang Zhao's third purpose is to test the new weapon, the sharp weapon that wiped out 30,000 Jiangdong navy. The soldiers who went back said that this sharp weapon can be fired hundreds of steps away, and a single shot can destroy a warship, and they can even shoot consecutively without pulling the bowstring.
The two didn't talk to each other, Zhang Zhao looked at Yang Hong indifferently on the surface, but Yang Hong just squinted his eyes with a smiling expression, and Yang Hong had already tasted a cup of tea in his hand again and again. There is an expression of enjoyment, as delicious as eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but what the two of them have is a glass of water!
Both Zhang Zhao and Yang Hong didn't speak, that's because they both know that whoever speaks first will lose half, because once you open your mouth, you may reveal your anxiety, your own thoughts, and be subjugated unconsciously. The enemy led by the nose.
One hour, two hours, three hours, half a day passed, the two of them still didn't say a word, the guards standing beside them felt tired, and the tea on the table was changed again and again.
The sun was about to set gradually, and the rays of the setting sun shone in the courtyard. When Zhang Zhao got a little impatient, Yang Hong suddenly stood up.
"There is a door!" Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, Yang Hong finally couldn't bear to talk! Before Zhang Zhao had time to be happy, Yang Hong squinted his small eyes and cupped his fists towards Zhang Zhao, half-bowed and said, "It's getting late, Brother Zibu Hong won't bother Brother Zibu to rest, Let me take my leave!" Yang Hong turned around and left before Zhang Zhao could react.
"What's the situation?!" Zhang Zhao was taken aback. It wasn't what was agreed, so why did you talk about it? Didn't it mean that you spoke first! Now, seeing Yang Hong's chubby figure walking farther and farther away, Zhang Zhao could only smile wryly. Originally, he was sent to Wancheng to talk about something. But Chen Gong didn't show up. Instead, a man named Yang Hong came. Yang Hong used to be Yuan Shu's long history. So Zhang Zhao was very happy at the beginning, because such a person represented Lu Bujun in the peace talks with him, which meant that he would completely gain the upper hand. Yang Hong, by the way, also maximized the interests of the Jiangdong Army!
But as soon as the two met and introduced each other, there was nothing more to say. This courtyard was also arranged by Yang Hong, and the two of them drank green tea in this courtyard all afternoon.
You really underestimated him! "Yang Hong, Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao couldn't think of this character, so when Zhang Zhao was at a loss, a guard next to him said, "Sir, you want to know about Yang Changshi!"
"Yang Changshi!" Zhang Zhao turned his head and looked at the guard who spoke, "You know him? Yang Hong?!"
"Yes!" The bodyguard nodded. He was sent by Sun Ce to be Zhang Zhao's bodyguard to protect Zhang Zhao. To Jiang Dong, Zhang Zhao was Guan Zhong and Zhang Liang, so Sun Ce was very concerned about Zhang Zhao's safety. Xin, the personal guards sent were all Sun Ce's personal guards. These people have followed Sun Ce from a long time ago, and the earliest ones were even when Sun Jian was still there. And the guard in front of him was the one who followed Sun Ce when Sun Ce was still serving Yuan Shu. He really knew Yang Hong and had a general understanding of some things about Yang Hong.
"Come, come, tell me, what kind of person this Yang Hong is!" Zhang Zhao didn't care about the dignity and etiquette, and directly called the guard to sit down, and even poured a glass for the guard with his own hands. Tea, you know yourself and your skin, you can win a hundred battles. He wants to get out of Yang Hong's mouth, no, it should be said to pull his teeth out of Lu Bujun's mouth, so he must know when Lu Bujun opens his mouth!
"Mr. Yang Hong, it was the old lord before, no, no!" The guard subconsciously took Yuan Shu as his lord again.
"Reuse?!" Zhang Shao was thoughtful. He was really a character. Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he couldn't kill a group of people with one blow. Maybe this Yang Hong is a talent, otherwise, how could Yuan Shu value him? ! The official position of Chang Shi is not something that can be done if you want to. Zhang Zhao himself has been in the position of Chang Shi, so he naturally knows the importance of Chang Shi. And Yuan Shu is dead, but this Yang Hong survived is not easy, not easy!
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Zhao, your guess is wrong!" Qin Wei looked at Zhang Shao's dignified eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang Hong was reused by Yuan Gonglu because Mr. Yang Hong could speak!" Qin Wei remembered At that time, Yang Hong was a big celebrity around Yuan Shu. If anyone wanted to be promoted to an official position, he must go to Yang Hong first, because only the lord could listen to what Yang Hong said. Yang Hong was very popular at that time. The guard still remembers that when he was following Sun Ce, Sun Ce still gave gifts to Yang Hong's family during the Chinese New Year!
"Can talk?!" What does this mean! Zhang Zhao looked at the guard suspiciously. Being able to speak has several meanings! That's what the guard said again! Is it the same as what you think? !
"Yes, you can talk!" The guard continued, "Mr. Yang Hong is very good at pleasing Yuan Gonggong, he loves to listen to what he says, even when Yuan Gonggong is angry, he summons Mr. Yang Hong to his tent." , Yuan Gonglu will be able to dispel his anger in a short while," but the guard clearly remembers that there is also a Mr. Yan Xiang under Yuan Gonglu's account. Every time this Mr. Yan Xiang speaks, Yuan Gonglu is very unhappy and very angry. , and sometimes even almost pulled out the knife, and when Mr. Yang Hong opened his mouth, his mouth seemed to be covered with honey, "So at that time, at that time!" Stop, looking a little embarrassed.
"Keep talking!" If Zhang Zhao wants to understand, he must listen to everything, not missing a single bit, which will determine the outcome of the future confrontation.
The personal guard collected himself and took a sip of the water that Zhang Zhao poured for him. Anyway, he is no longer under Yuan Shu's service, so what are you afraid of?" At that time, those generals said in private that Mr. Yang Hong was a sycophant, Even the lord calls Mr. Yang Hong that way!"
"A sycophant?!" Zhang Zhao now understands what it means to be able to speak! Is it flattering or flattering? Could it be that I was wrong, this Yang Hong is actually a cover-up? In fact, it is a straw bag! But he is so calm today!
"It should be a bluff!" Zhang Zhao finally laughed. If it was a bluff, if what the guard said was true and that Yang Hong was just a flattering villain, then it would be really easy! Zhang Zhao regained his self-confidence, Yang Hong just wait, tomorrow you will lose without even your pants!
Also in another courtyard in Wancheng, the fat middle-aged scribe looked at the solitary and self-admired, lonely figure in the courtyard, and Yang Hong couldn't help feeling distressed for a while. Kind of distressed.
"Wait! Son! I promised my lord that I will hold up a piece of sky for you!" If he wants to treat her well and her position in his heart will increase, then the only way to win this game is first. The stakes are up.
Is that Zhang Zhao? Wait for me! (To be continued.)
