The place to receive the official mission was the West Park Official Selling Office where Zhang Hui had once bought an official.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all official positions, even those who were promoted normally, had to pay.
The difference was that buying an official position required one to pay the full amount. If it was a normal promotion, one only needed to pay one-tenth.
In history, there had been cases of officials who resigned because they could not afford to be promoted.
The decadence of the Eastern Han Dynasty was evident.
Because the Draconic Lin Beast had not grown up yet, Zhang Hui rode the Ferghana Horse that was the standard of the Tiger Legion Commandant to the West Park Official Selling Office.
As soon as Zhang Hui approached the West Park Official Selling Office, a servant ran over and enthusiastically led the way for him.
The other servants who were slightly slower beat their chests and stamped their feet, as if they had missed out on something great.
This situation had to start from Zhang Hui coming here a few days ago to buy an official position.
That day, Zhang Hui spent a lot of money to buy the Huben Commandant.
The servant who led Zhang Hui back then received a great reward from the higher-ups, making the other servants envious.
Therefore, when they saw Zhang Hui come again today, these servants rushed to help him lead the way as if they were rushing to reincarnate.
Steward Liu was still chatting idly like last time when he entered the West Park Official Selling Office.
Seeing Zhang Hui come in, Steward Liu's eyes lit up.""Commandant Qiangu, what brings you here?”
Zhang Hui looked at Steward Liu and said with a smile,""Steward Liu, my reputation is sufficient. I would like to receive the mission to advance to the Fourth Stage.”
Steward Liu sized up Zhang Hui and gave him a thumbs up. He praised,"Commandant Qiangu is really amazing. In just a few days, he has already achieved such results. However, Qiangu Xiaowei, not only do you need 50,000 reputation points to receive the mission of a Rank 4 official position, but you also need to pay 150 taels of gold. What do you think?”
Zhang Hui naturally understood the nature of the Eastern Han court. With a wave of his hand, he traded 150 taels of gold to Steward Liu.
Steward Liu received the gold and immediately beamed with joy.""Commandant Qiangu is truly generous. You see, I have four rank four military positions here, such as Huben Zhonglang General, Xiongnu Zhonglang General, etc. I wonder which one Qiangu Xiaowei wants to promote?”
Zhang Hui did not hesitate and answered directly,""I choose Lieutenant General Hu Ben."
……
Zhang Hui had chosen Lieutenant General Hu Ben not because he was now a lieutenant of the Hu Ben Army and the two positions had similar names, but because he had chosen them according to his plan.
According to history, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it would be Dong Zhuo's turn to cause chaos in the capital. At that time, Luoyang would be the main battlefield.
If Zhang Hui chose to stay in Luoyang, he would definitely clash with Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Hui had already discovered that the mythical Three Kingdoms was based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo, who had invaded Luoyang, was extremely powerful.
Under his command, not only did he have the astonishing 200,000 soldiers of the Western Liang Army, but he also had the War God of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, the famous generals Hua Xiong, Guo Si, Li Jue, and the famous strategists Jia Xu and Li Ru.
Although more than half of the troops had to stay in Liangzhou, tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers were already an extremely shocking force.
In fact, if Zhang Hui had chosen a Xiongnu general, he could have quietly developed in the local area for a period of time, recruit generals and strategists, and expand the Peerless Legion. When the 18th vassal army fought against Dong Zhuo, he would have been able to shine as well, and it would have been more secure.
However, ever since Zhang Hui entered the Mythical realm, he had been blessed with great fortune. Not only had he obtained many treasures, but he had also obtained powerful subordinates such as Bai Qi, the peerless warrior, the Killing God Guards, the Golden War Tiger, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which had yet to end and was filled with opportunities.
Zhang Hui wanted to see if Dong Zhuo would still have a chance to enter Luoyang and even burn down the thousand-year-old capital if he stayed in Luoyang after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
Zhang Hui even wondered if he could be like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in history, relying on his powerful martial strength to hold the emperor hostage and command the vassals!
He believed that if he was the one holding the Son of Heaven, he would have done better than Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao and would have unified the Eastern Ancient Country faster.
Therefore, Zhang Hui would never leave Luoyang to become an official.
……
Steward Liu heard Zhang Hui's answer and said with a smile,"Commandant Qiangu, since you've made your decision, please lead the Tiger Troop to reinforce the Yingchuan battlefield. As long as you kill or capture five thousand Yellow Turban soldiers on the battlefield, you'll be promoted to the rank of Tiger Troop Lieutenant General.”
"Understood, Steward Liu. I will come again after I complete my mission.”
Zhang Hui turned around and left the West Park Official Trading Firm.
"The Yingchuan battlefield, the two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and the formidable Cao Cao…That is the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban army! My current strength is still insufficient, especially the mount I just captured. It hasn't formed its combat strength yet. I have to raise my level first before heading to the Yingchuan battlefield.”
"I remember that the Yingchuan battlefield was Cao Cao's first stage. He led five thousand soldiers to stop the defeated Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang and beheaded more than ten thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. However, if my Peerless Legion and I were to go to the Yingchuan battlefield, I wonder who would have a more dazzling battle record?”
