Dongfang Jian was very happy to have another fierce general, Huang Zhong, whose martial arts skills were not inferior to Lu Bu and Dian Wei.
That night, Dongfang Jian held a banquet to celebrate Huang Zhong's participation. As all the people present were civil officials, Huang Zhong did not drink to his heart's content. Why did these generals like to drink so much? It seemed that he had to summon those few back. Dongfang Jian knew that Huang Zhongyin was unfamiliar with everything since he had just arrived here. Perhaps it was the natural aversion of generals to civil officials, but Huang Zhongyin did not say much to the others. Dongfang Jian knew that the banquet would only be more awkward if it continued, so he quickly dismissed the banquet.
When Dongfang Jian personally sent Huang Zhong out, he said to Huang Zhong," Hansheng, don't be too happy. I know you haven't had enough to drink with them. When Fengxian and Yi De return, I'll definitely let them drink with you. You should go to the Dragon Guard for the next few days to familiarize yourself with the situation. I'll assign you a position then. I hope Hansheng won't be oversensitive."”
Hearing Dongfang Jian's words, Huang Zhong immediately felt his blood boil, and he felt a sense of pride as if he would die for someone he knew. He said,""My lord loves me so much that I will repay you with my life.”
Dongfang Kendo said," Hansheng, what are you saying? Don't say that in the future. We should all live well."”Dongfang Jian saw that Huang Zhong was about to say something, so he stopped him and said,"" Don't say anything. I understand. Jian knows that you're not having a good time drinking with these scholars, but don't worry. When he doesn't come back in a few days, you'll definitely drink to your heart's content, Han Sheng. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold them back then, because those few are all wine jars. Hahaha."
When Huang Zhong saw Dongfang Jian personally send him out of the door, apologize to him, and even personally explain to him, he was extremely excited. Huang Zhong had never seen such a thing in his life. He said excitedly,"Don't worry, my lord. When that time comes, Zhong will definitely get drunk.”
"Alright, I'll drink with you guys when the time comes.”Dongfang Jian looked at Tiandao as he spoke." It's getting late. Hansheng should go back early. Don't make your family wait anxiously."”
"Lord, please return. I will take my leave." After saying that, he bowed to Dongfang Jian and turned to leave.
Two days later, the Youzhou Army's generals and strategists stationed in various places rushed back to Ji County. When they arrived, they saw that everyone was covered in dust and sweat. Even the horses were covered in sweat.
When everyone arrived at the Provincial Governor's Office, they saw Dongfang Jian and the strategists waiting for them. The generals bowed to Dongfang Jian and sat down in their respective positions according to their order.
Dongfang Jian could tell from the travel-worn appearance of his generals that they had rushed over overnight. Seeing their appearance, he could not help but wonder why he had issued that order to make them rush back in such a hurry.
Dongfang Jian saw that the generals were already seated and said,""This time, I called you back because I have something important to discuss with you. Before that, let me introduce two people to you.”
"This is Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng. From now on, he is also a member of our Youzhou Army."”
After Dongfang Jian finished speaking, Huang Zhong stood up and greeted everyone. The generals returned the salute.
Dongfang Jian pointed at Zhou Yu, who was sitting beside Zhou Yi, and said,""I don't need to introduce him. Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin, is my disciple. In the future, everything in our army will be open to him.”
Dongfang Jian's words left everyone dumbstruck. Although everyone knew that Dongfang Jian doted on Zhou Yu, they did not expect Dongfang Jian to make such a condition for him. After all, the military camp was a forbidden area. Everyone except Dongfang Jian had to have a token to enter.
The reason why Dongfang Jian wanted to treat Zhou Yu like this was because he suddenly thought of it last night. He wanted Zhou Yu to come into contact with the war earlier. He wanted him to grow up earlier, so he asked Zhou Yi to bring Zhou Yu to the meeting. Zhou Yu seemed to know the meaning of this meeting, so he was extremely excited. This could be seen from his flushed face because he seemed to be excited.
Dongfang Jian coughed, drawing everyone's attention back to himself. Dongfang Jian looked at the generals and said," This time, I have called you back to announce three things. First, autumn is coming. Every year at this time, those wolf cubs on the grasslands who are not well-fed will come to rob us. Therefore, the reason why I called you back is to tell you that you must put in all your defenses to prevent the Xianbei people from robbing us. Not only that, if the conditions allow, I might lead everyone to attack and try to destroy Xianbei within a year.”
Dongfang Jian's words made everyone extremely excited. Of course, this did not include the civil officials. Zhang Fei said loudly,"Big brother, tell me. When do we start? I, Old Zhang, can't wait anymore. I've been training soldiers for the past few months and I'm almost bored to death.”All the generals had the same expression. It seemed like they were all thinking the same thing.
Dongfang Jian dismissed Zhang Fei with a wave of his hand. He looked at the civil officials, hoping that they would give a satisfactory answer. At this moment, Tian Yu said,"My lord, can you delay the attack until we have prepared the rations?"”
"Give us more time, and we'll be fully prepared," Dongfang Jian asked.”
"Two months," said Tian Yu.
Dongfang Jian didn't reply and asked Zhen Yi,""Lord Zhen, how is the money?"
"There's no problem with money," Zhen Yi said. There were still tens of millions of dollars left, enough to fight a big war.”
After Zhen Yi finished, Zhou Yi said,""I don't agree. Youzhou Province isn't ready yet. It's not suitable for us to launch an attack.”
After that, the civil and military officials expressed their opinions. Other than the generals who supported the immediate start of the battle, most of the civil officials supported delaying the battle for a period of time so that all aspects would be more prepared.
Dongfang Jian watched as the civil and military officials quarreled endlessly. Dongfang Jian pressed down with his hand to stop the quarreling. " In that case," Dongfang Jian said," we'll delay it for a few months. As for when we'll fight, we'll wait for your orders."”
Although the generals were not convinced, Dongfang Jian had no choice but to stop speaking. For a moment, the generals agreed in unison.
Dongfang Kendo said," There is one more thing. I have assigned some 'teachers' to each of your armies. But please note that these teachers are not only teaching you how to read and write. They are also teaching you why you are fighting, for whom, and why you are fighting. When you go back, each of you must bring a few of them with you. When you go back, not only do you have to listen to them, but you also have to let the soldiers below you listen to them. They had to attend classes every day after training. If anyone disobeyed, they would be punished according to military regulations. Do you understand?"
"Understood," the generals replied in unison.”
Among those present, only Jia Xu knew what was going on with these 'sensors'. These so-called teachers were not scholars, but people who knew some words. Dongfang Jian had once found them behind everyone's back and trained them secretly for a few months. They had just graduated a few days ago. The education these gentlemen received was to be loyal to Dongfang Jian. Only Dongfang Jian could lead people to live a happy life. In any case, it was the political committee system of the later generations of GCD. Why couldn't the GCD's army be dragged down or destroyed? As long as there was one person, it was possible to create an army that couldn't be dragged down or destroyed. Dongfang Jian had used this principle to educate these gentlemen for a few months. During this period of education, they were under closed management and could not see anyone except Dongfang Jian. Just like that, they were forced to remove all thoughts of loyalty from their minds. In the future, they would only be loyal to Dongfang Jian, and they were successfully brainwashed. Dongfang Jian had ordered these 'gentlemen' to brainwash the soldiers in the army. Of course, they could not command the army. They were only responsible for brainwashing and educating them. They were the loyal believers of Dongfang Jian. Jia Xu was the only one in Youzhou who knew about this matter because he was the one who found these people. Moreover, the secret agents under him had received Dongfang Jian's education, so he knew how powerful this matter was. Through this matter, he also understood how terrifying Dongfang Jian was. Jia Xu knew that once the army received such an education, then this Jun Dun would be invincible, and he would only be loyal to Dongfang Jian. No one could take them away, let alone rebel.
"The third thing is that when you go back, you have to actively prepare for war. Don't let all the troops be unable to be pulled out. When that time comes, I'll find trouble with whoever's army. Also, we must keep our stirrups and horseshoes a secret. Once outsiders know about it, our advantage will disappear. Therefore, no matter when the war horse dies or is about to be eliminated, you must remove all the equipment from the horse. Do you understand?" Dongfang Jian said sternly.
" Understood. Please rest assured, my lord." The civil and military officials present said in unison.
Dongfang Jian then said to Jia Xu," The craftsmen who know about these things have to be watched closely. Don't let them have the chance to take these things out. If they find anything, kill them."”The current Dongfang Jian was so cold-blooded and murderous that everyone present was shocked. Was this still the Dongfang Jian who was always smiling at everyone?
Just like that, the meeting went on for several hours until everything was sorted out. From the expressions of everyone when they came out of the meeting room, it was obvious that they had suffered a great impact.
When Dongfang Jian went to eat with everyone, a Jinyiwei ran over and said to Dongfang Jian,""Reporting to my lord, there is someone outside who wants to see you. I said that you are discussing matters with the lords and it is not convenient for you to see guests. He said that he can wait and has been waiting for you outside the door for four hours.”The Embroidered Uniform Guard said.
"Oh, who is it? What's his name?”Dongfang Jian asked curiously. Dongfang Jian was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"He said his name is Taishi Ziyi." The Embroidered Uniform Guard said.
"Taishi Ziyi? Which Taishi Ziyi?" Dongfang Jian did not react for a moment. Suddenly, Dongfang Jianhao seemed to have thought of something and shouted,""What is it? Where is Taishi Ziyi?" Dongfang Jian could not suppress the excitement in his heart and asked, slightly losing his composure.
"He's outside the manor and has been waiting for a long time.”The Embroidered Uniform Guard looked at Dongfang Jian, who was a little excited. He did not know what was so great about Taishi Ziyi that he could make his lord so excited.
When Dongfang Jian heard that Taishi Ci was outside the manor, he rushed out without caring about his appearance.
Outside the gate, a seven-foot-seven-inch tall man with a beautiful beard was standing there. It was the valiant and valiant Taishi Ci, who was waiting respectfully without showing any impatience or affection.
"Ziyi!" Suddenly, an excited voice sounded.
Taishi Ci was surprised to find a handsome man of similar age to him. He had always been proud of himself, and he was also surprised by the extraordinary charm that he didn't have. However, his clothes and hair were a little messy, but it did not affect his senses at all. There was also a mature and majestic aura that was unusual for his peers, causing Taishi Ci to be unable to calm down for a long time.
After confirming that this person was Dongfang Jian, Taishi Ci suppressed the excitement and shock in his heart.”Taishi Ci knelt down on one knee and said solemnly,"Taishi Ci is here to pay his respects to the lord!"
Dongfang Jian was slightly stunned when he heard that, but he was overjoyed."Ziyi, please get up! Jian should apologize to Ziyi. It's all Jian's fault for making Ziyi wait.”
"My lord, how could a trifling Taishi Ci dare to disturb my lord's important matters when he's troubled by them?”Taishi Ci, who was supported by Dongfang Jian, said solemnly with reverence.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go into the residence and talk about it.”After saying that, Dongfang Jian held Taishi Ci's hand and walked into the tent.
Dongfang Jian only found out after a long chat. It turned out that when Dongfang Jian and the others returned from Luoyang and took a detour to Donglai, Qingzhou, to visit Taishi Ci, they were told by their loving mother that Taishi Ci had gone to Liaodong to visit his relatives.
When Dongfang Jian's reputation rose in Youzhou Province, Taishi Ci was preparing to leave for his hometown. However, after hearing Dongfang Jian's name, Taishi Ci was moved. Therefore, he came here to find out what was going on. When he arrived, Taishi Ci found that almost all the commoners were busy with geography and revealed a satisfied smile. After inquiring about Dongfang Jian constantly, he was especially shocked by the gratitude of the commoners whenever they mentioned Dongfang Jian. He slowly realized that Dongfang Jian was simply their " spiritual pillar " in the hearts of the people. There was actually such a heroic ruler in the world who won the hearts of the people!
Wasn't this the heroic ruler that he had been searching for? At that time, Taishi Ci had wanted to recommend himself and come over to meet him, but he remembered that his mother at home still missed him, so he had to put aside his self-recommendation and rush back. When he reached home, his mother told him about what had happened in Youzhou. Then, she took out the letter Dongfang Jian had left behind. Taishi Ci was greatly moved. After reporting to his mother, he wanted to return to Youzhou Province with her support. However, he didn't expect that his mother was seriously ill. Taishi Ci had to take care of her on the side. After his mother recovered, he came to Youzhou Province to seek refuge with Dongfang Jian under his mother's persuasion.
When he arrived at Ji County, Taishi Ci went to the Provincial Governor's Office and told the guard his name. When the guard returned, he told Taishi Ci that Dongfang Jian was discussing important matters with the officials and was not convenient to meet guests. Taishi Ci then stood outside the manor, patiently waiting for Dongfang Jian to summon him after the meeting. That was how the scene above happened! When Lu Bu and the others learned of Taishi Ci's arrival, they were pleasantly surprised. This was because they knew very well that their elder brother (lord) had personally paid a visit for him. It was rare for their elder brother (lord) to pay such a visit to such a person. It was a pity that Taishi Ci had been away at that time and had no chance to meet him.
Now that they knew Taishi Ci was coming, they could not care less about the fatigue from the four-hour meeting and went to see Taishi Ci. When they saw Taishi Ci's heroic and extraordinary appearance and the imposing manner of his martial arts, Lu Bu and the others all secretly cheered. When Taishi Ci saw Lu Bu and the others, he also secretly cheered for their elegant demeanour. At the same time, he could not calm down for a moment. He had always been proud of his martial arts, but when he saw Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Dian Weishi, he realized that their martial arts were unfathomable. They were only better than him. This was a shocking thing!
"Come, come, come, Fengxian, Yi De, let big brother introduce you. This is Taishi Ziyi!”Dongfang Jian introduced them to Lu Bu and the others. At the same time, he said,""Ziyi, this is…" Dongfang Jian introduced them to each other.
Taishi Ci, Lu Bu, and the others immediately started chatting with each other. Zhang Fei, who had always been forthright, even suggested,"Brother Ziyi is very much in line with my Old Zhang's temper. In order to celebrate Brother Ziyi's arrival, we will not go home until we are drunk!”
Zhang Fei's suggestion was immediately approved by Lu Bu and the others. Dongfang Jian saw their excited expressions and did not stop them. Not only did he not stop them, but he also pushed Huang Zhong to them. He asked them to drink together and take this opportunity to get to know each other better. This was also a good choice to strengthen their affinity with each other.
When he saw that they were all drinking in large bowls, which was the true nature of Nan 'er, Dongfang Jian nodded in relief and quietly walked out.
From time to time, they could hear the sound of drinking and chatting behind them.
