The news of the victory in Yingchuan spread to the court, and Emperor Ling of Han was overjoyed. As the person who had contributed the most, I naturally caught the attention of the Spirit Monarch. The Spirit Monarch asked the eunuchs beside him and then asked the officials in the court. It was the effect of the money that he had spent in the past. There were praises inside and outside the court, saying that I was a young hero and a talent for the country. For the first time, the eunuchs and courtiers achieved a perfect unity.
However, not long after, everyone began to praise the Spirit Monarch for recruiting talents without any restrictions. Zhang Rang, this old thing, knew how to say,"Like king, like subjects. Cao Cao was the ruler of the country, but without the emperor, he could only live in the common people. In short, everything was caused by the emperor's wisdom.”
The Spirit Monarch was overjoyed by this flattery. Following that was a generous reward. However, Zhang Jiao's main force in the north was still very rampant. Lu Zhi, who was fighting Zhang Jiao, had always been at a disadvantage. Lu Zhi was indeed resourceful. Seeing that he could not win, he adopted a strategy of holding on. The two sides entered a stalemate. However, the eunuchs in the imperial court could no longer stay in the court. They thought that these generals had gained a lot of loot outside, so they attacked from all directions.
The person who came to Lu Zhi's place was Zuo Feng from the Yellow Sect. Lu Zhi, this old man, was adamant. If he didn't give it, he wouldn't give it. He was really a stubborn old donkey. He even said righteously,"Our army is still short of rations. How can we have the money to offer to the angels? I hope the angel will forgive me and ask the angel to hurry up the food.”However, it was fine if he didn't give it to her, but it wouldn't be nice if she spoke in front of the Emperor. It was the same thing, but in other words, it was not a matter of a moment. Zuo Feng agreed readily and helped to urge the rations. Zuo Feng went back and said to the Emperor,""This Lu Zhi is old and muddle-headed. He led the army and did not dare to fight. He only knew how to defend deep trenches and high fortresses, neglecting the military aircraft. If this continued, what would happen?”When the Spirit Monarch heard this, he was extremely furious and ordered Zhong Lang to replace Lu Zhi with Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, after replacing Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo changed his previous method. He sent troops to attack Zhang Jiao, but he was defeated time and time again. Defeated invitations were sent to the court day by day. The Spirit Emperor was furious.”"The traitor Zhang Liang who is attacking Quyang with Huangfu Song." He has quite a few military achievements!" "If all the generals in the court were like Cao Cao, we wouldn't be in this situation."”"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Rang said.
"It's settled then," said the Spirit Monarch. Men, pass down my imperial edict." "I heard that Dong Zhuo's successive defeats have almost exhausted the general's energy," said Zhang Rang. Even if Cao Cao was a talented general, he couldn't cook a meal without rice.”"Why didn't you say so earlier? Men!" the Spirit Monarch said.”"It's a critical period now," Zhang Rang said."Why don't this old servant go personally?"”The Spirit Monarch hurriedly stood up." I'm worried about letting Father go!"”"This old servant is willing to sacrifice his life for the Emperor." Zhang Rang hurriedly said. Moreover, this was an emergency. If someone else went, His Majesty would not be at ease.”"Thank you, Father."”"It's this old servant's happiness to share His Majesty's worries," said Zhang Rang.”
" As for Quyang, Huangfu Song refused to use my iron cavalry and fought Zhang Liang with the Battle Formation. In the end, Zhang Liang was extremely brave, and the Yellow Turban soldiers under his tent were also extremely hardworking. Therefore, Huangfu Song lost the battle, and we ended up defending with deep trenches and high fortresses. However, Huangfu Song was one step ahead. He used the money he had captured to bribe the eunuchs who came to inspect. Therefore, he could continue to defend and suppress the Yellow Turban Army, while the imperial court continued to supply food and fodder.
On this day, Huangfu Song and I were discussing our next step. At this moment, he heard a soldier reporting from outside the tent. "What's the matter?" Huangfu Song asked. "General," the soldier said,"an angel has arrived.”Huangfu Song wondered why he was here again, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He said to the crowd,"Welcome them immediately."”
When Huangfu Song saw who it was, he couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly bowed and said,""So it's the Middle Minister, Lord Zhang. I apologize for not welcoming you.”This person was Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang said," That's right, that's right. What do you mean by 'Your Excellency is not a man'? This old servant is just a servant by the Emperor's side. I can't compare to the generals who are so glorious."”"My lord, please forgive me." "I wonder if my lord has come this time…" That is General Cao Cao." When I heard that it was Zhang Rang, it was still vague. I knew these people the best. Although they were small officials, they had great power and were all sinister and cunning. "I am Cao Cao." Salute Lord Zhang!" Zhang Rang said," Oh…so young. This is really a hero from a young age!"”I quickly said,"This is all due to the care of His Majesty and the other lords."”Zhang Rang thought to himself that this kid's nose and eyes were full of spirit. But I like it very much. " Commandant Cao Cao has made many meritorious deeds in the battle to wipe out the Yellow Turbans," Huangfu Song said hurriedly." He is a rare talent of the imperial court."”Huangfu Song was afraid that Zhang Rang would make things difficult for him, so he quickly stepped forward. "General Huangfu, this old servant also likes talented people."”Then, he said with a straight face,"The imperial edict!"”The generals hurriedly knelt down and shouted three times. Zhang Rang said,"The Emperor has decreed: Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao was young and promising. He was smart and courageous. He had made many meritorious deeds for the country. He was specially appointed as Zhonglang General to replace Dong Zhuo and eliminate Zhang Jiao's rebel. Thank you!" "Thank you for your kindness, Lord!" I hurriedly said.
"General Cao," said Zhang Rang,"His Majesty has ordered you to set out immediately.”"Yes!" I said. Huangfu Song also came over." Congratulations, Meng De. Now, you and I must unite sincerely to share the burden of the imperial court."”"Definitely!" I quickly replied.
"General Cao," said Zhang Rang,"here is the Emperor's secret decree. May I have a moment to read it out?"”I stretched out my hand and said,"Please, sir!" I led Zhang Rang to my tent and saw him say,"General Cao, are you satisfied with this position?”I quickly replied,"Everything depends on Daren's arrangements!"”"I like straightforward people like you," said Zhang Rang. This old servant has fought for supplies for you in front of the emperor, but the outcome will depend on your own ability.”I quickly stepped forward and saluted,"Thank you for your guidance." This is just a little bit of my meaning, please accept it.”What was that? An exquisite jade box. The box was exquisitely carved with mountains and rivers on it. Zhang Rang was attracted by the exquisite painting and said,"It's really a divine work!" "Please open the box."”Zhang Rang heard this and opened the box. Inside was an exquisitely carved golden mouse. "Meng De is really a thoughtful person," Zhang Rang said happily.”I said,"It's your kindness. Even this life belongs to you."”Am I a little shameless? However, to deal with these shameless people, one had to be even more shameless than them. As expected, Zhang Rang's face bloomed with a smile. He said,"Go and do your job well. As long as nothing big happens, I won't treat you badly. After Huangfu Song takes care of Zhang Liang, I'll let him be under your command. Do you understand what I mean?" "I will listen to your arrangements." Zhang Rang was very satisfied with my gift. After resting here for a while, he followed me to Dong Zhuo's camp. Dong Zhuo was obviously not someone to be trifled with. His face was full of meat, and he had a big mouth and a beard.
After Zhang Rang finished reading the imperial edict, I felt his murderous eyes glare at me, but it was only for a moment. I saw him socializing with Zhang Rang with a smile on his face, then he said to me,"General Cao, you have to be careful. These people are not f * cking bastards.”After saying that, he handed me the seal and went back to the capital with Zhang Rang.
