Chapter 622: Go, give that man surnamed Wang a chance
Today is different from the past. In the past, what position you could achieve depended on the game above the court. Now, Dong Zhuo has usurped power and the court's prestige has been greatly reduced. As long as you are strong enough and famous enough, you can just go to the table and apply for the title. What's more? Those who do this can completely express themselves, that is, canonize themselves. In the final analysis, it is all about hard power.
The position of governor of Yanzhou is definitely a good one. Zhang Miao has always had ambitions to go further. At least he feels that as one of the eight chefs and a famous official in the world, he is qualified and capable to sit in this position.
Indeed, he did it in the end. With the help of Chen Gong, he teamed up with Lu Bu to trick his young Cao Cao. The Cao Cao who had handed over his family to Zhang Miao before the expedition, the one who trusted Zhang Miao the most. The little Cao Cao.
Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have a very close relationship. After Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo and was defeated by Xu Rong, it was Zhang Miao who handed over all his troops to Cao Cao, giving him a chance to make a comeback. When Yuan Shao wanted to kill Zhang Miao, Cao Cao would rather die. Zhang Miao was not saved. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he specifically left a message to his family, "If I don't return it, I will go to Mengzhuo."
This shows the relationship between the two people. As a result, Chen Gong instigated all this and tricked Cao Cao so hard that he almost killed Lao Cao. In the later period, Lao Cao turned evil and became so suspicious. Zhang might not be included among them. Miao reason.
More than a thousand people were definitely not enough to overthrow Liu Dai. Zhang Miao gently touched the table and after a moment ordered: "Post a notice to recruit troops. In addition, contact the various wealthy families in Chenliu. You can't just think about it." Good thing, don’t think about contributing!”
Half a month later, looking at the three thousand troops in his hand, Zhang Miao still didn't relax his brows. This was already the largest force he could put together, but with these three thousand men, he couldn't achieve what he had in mind. Thoughts.
Although I have never thought about becoming the leader of the alliance, at least I must be outstanding enough. Not only can I be superior to the governor Liu Dai, I should at least be superior to other counties in Yanzhou!
"Zixiang (Liu Yi, courtesy name), tell me, how can we recruit more troops?" Zhang Miao did not express any hope, but a trace of unwillingness in his heart made him ask this question.
Liu Yi thought for a moment and quietly glanced at Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao was stunned. What do you mean, you want me to dismiss the others?
No, do you really have a way?
Zhang Miao was overjoyed and immediately waved for the others to go down. Liu Yi then whispered: "I really know someone who has a large number of troops in his hands."
"Oh, who is it? Why don't I know?" Zhang Miao suddenly became interested.
"This person's surname is Wang Mingxuan, his origin is unknown, and he is currently stationed near Junyi. He has more than 4,000 soldiers, but..." After saying this, Liu Yi paused and lowered his voice, "It's just, I heard that these people are all bandits or Yellow Turbans."
"What? When did there be such a large group of bandits in Chenliu territory? How come I didn't know about it?" Zhang Miao was shocked. There were so many people, and they were all Yellow Turbans and bandits. Wasn't this about attacking the city?
The meeting of the princes is about to take place. If such a thing happens in Chenliu, all his fame will be lost.
"No, no, no, my lord has misunderstood." Liu Yi quickly stretched out his hand to comfort Zhang Miao who stood up, "It's not what my lord imagined."
So, so, so, so, Liu Yi explained the information he got in detail, and the summary is that Wang Xuan came all the way from Dingtao, under the banner of doing justice for heaven and eliminating harm for the people, he broke through.
There are a large number of bandit camps, and bandit captives are gathered for training. Now they are all gathered in Junyi. They have not attacked counties or disturbed the local area, and their reputation is still good.
However, there is a big problem with the origin of the soldiers. Whether to recruit them or not depends on Zhang Miao's decision.
"My subordinates think that we just recruited a group of 'rebels'!" Liu Yi's implication was that he didn't know the origin of the soldiers and had the right to be rebels. Anyway, this is correct. As for the future, who can do it after swallowing everything?
say what.
"Zixiang's words are reasonable. Wang Xuan worked tirelessly to exterminate the bandits. It can be seen that his heart is towards Zhengshuo and he is a knowledgeable righteous man in the sea. At this time, Dong Zhuo usurped power. It is the time when righteous men from all over the world are needed to attack. Although
I am not of high birth, but I am sure that after Wang Xuan knows this news, he will definitely be willing to raise his family to join me. Naturally, I, Zhang Miao, will not be able to embarrass the world's righteous people, and I will definitely be waiting for you, and I will be rewarded by high-ranking officials and generous salaries." Zhang Miao.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head and started talking.
Zhang Miao's intention was very clear. He wanted this group of people and would give them an origin. He believed that the man surnamed Wang would definitely know the current affairs, and the whole army would bow to him happily.
Regarding this, Zhang Miao was very confident that he could be one of the eight famous chefs in the world. He was already humiliating them by lowering his status and agreeing to take in these remnants of the Yellow Turbans. He was so grateful that he knelt down and knelt in the capital.
Liu Yi nodded and immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements. As Zhang Miao's boss, he would definitely not take action personally. Such a small matter could be settled by just sending someone over with the paperwork.
As a result, Zhang Miao will have close to 8,000 men, which can be called 15,000. He must be no weaker than the governor Liu Dai.
…
Three days later, Junyi.
Wang Xuan was chatting with Mi Zhu about the customs and customs of people from various places in the Han Dynasty. Liao Hua walked in from the door and said, "Sir, there is a man outside who claims to be a subordinate of Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. He wants to see the master."
Wang Xuan and Mi Zhu looked at each other, smiled slightly, raised their chins, and said, "Bring the people together."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao actually sent someone here. Mi Zhu secretly admired her and said, "Congratulations, young master!"
"Nothing to talk about." Wang Xuan waved his hand casually, "I should say congratulations to Zhang Miao for having the opportunity to shine."
Outside the cottage gate, a man with a thin figure, slightly sunken cheeks and three strands of rat whiskers under his chin stood with a gloomy expression in the low sun, sweating all over because of the heat.
The area within 200 meters of the entrance to the cottage has long been cleared away. There is not a single tree. It is five meters high and the city wall with tree trunks sandwiched with soil looks very ordinary.
The rat-bearded man Yang Ke thought he was talented and learned, but he was born in a poor family, and his appearance was a bit wretched, which Zhang Miao did not like. He had been under his command for more than ten years and had not been promoted. The more this happened, the more his temperament deteriorated.
It becomes increasingly gloomy, and in a vicious cycle, there are no opportunities for promotion.
In ancient times, there were requirements for the appearance of officials. Good facial features were the basis, and only those with dignified appearance were qualified to hold high positions. Senior officials in the court represent the face of the country, and crooked melons and cracked dates are definitely not acceptable.
Even if they are in the prefect's mansion, they are all people with status, but a mere bandit's village dares to turn him away. I am here to give you wealth and family background, and it is actually listed in the newspaper.
After hearing the name of the prefect Zhang Miao, Chen Liu did not open the mountain gate to greet him. Instead, he was ordered to wait behind the door to report. You can imagine the anger in Yang Ke's heart!
