Liu Bei's empire was really 'crying' out.
However, this " cry " was not the usual " cry ", but a " roundabout method " that Liu Bei used to manipulate the hearts of the people and gather strength.
The current Zhang Tian had many similarities with the Liu Bei of the past. For example, they had no reputation, low status, and weak strength.
In order to gather connections and achieve hegemony, they would always crave for help and guidance from others.
This was just a method.
Now that such a method was used on Zhao Yun, it indeed played a very good role.
After hearing Zhang Tian's words, Zhao Yun was deeply moved. She felt that her lord was really loyal.
Which lord in the world would take the initiative to apologize to his subordinates?
Just based on this, it was enough for him to repay it with his life.
"My lord, don't say that. Don't worry. In the future, when my lord has a reputation, there's no need to be so sensitive to others. At that time, Yun will definitely be the vanguard and clear the obstacles for the lord's great cause.”
Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Tian had no choice but to give Cao Cao half a carriage of treasures. He believed that his lord would not be willing to do so, and he would do so because he was not strong enough.
He swore that he would do his best to assist Zhang Tian's great cause. At least, he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen again.
"Alright, alright. I believe Zilong's words.”
Zhang Tian patted Zhao Yun's shoulder again and said emotionally.
Through this small matter, Zhao Yun became more loyal to Zhang Tian, and the relationship between Xiao Monarch and Zhang Tian became more harmonious.
"Report, a group of people has been discovered ahead. They seem to be soldiers and there is also a sedan chair. Second Young Master, please make a decision.”
A cavalryman who was in charge of gathering information in the front rode back and came to Zhang Tianzhi.
When Zhang Tian heard this, he thought to himself, Could it be that some big shot is here?”
With this thought in mind, he said to his subordinates,
"Let's go take a look, but remember not to disturb them.”
Before knowing who the other party was, Zhang Tian was still very polite. It was not wise to make enemies for no reason.
Zhao Yun led 100 cavalrymen and followed Zhang Tian forward. They bumped into a group of people who were walking towards them.
This was a troop of about five hundred people, most of whom were dressed in the uniforms of the imperial court.
The moment Zhang Tian's group appeared, the soldiers on the opposite side became nervous. They all erected their swords and shields in a defensive formation.
"Who are you? State your name."
It was no wonder that these soldiers were so nervous. Zhang Tian and the others didn't have any special features. Except for him, who was dressed in white, the others were all dressed in black and black pants. Moreover, it was getting late. At first glance, they looked very scary.
"I am Zhang Bayuan, Zhang Tian of Chen Liu. I wonder who you are.”
Zhang Tian waved his hand to signal the cavalrymen to stand still. Then, he loudly announced their names.
His voice was loud enough for the other party to hear him clearly.
After a few breaths, a sharp voice came from the other party's sedan,
"Is it Chen Liu, Zhang Tian, who just defeated the Yellow Turban bandits in Changshe?”
"That's right."
Zhang Tian was surprised to hear that the other party knew him, but he still admitted it.
"Oh, so it's the Changsha Hero. Someone, open the door and invite Zhang Tian over."”
A sharp sound came from the sedan once again.
Then, someone from the enemy camp walked up to Zhang Tian and reminded him in a low voice,
"Our master is Zuo Feng from the Little Yellow Sect.”
Upon hearing the name Little Yellow Gate, Zhang Tian immediately understood that he had encountered eunuchs here.
Eunuchs were also known as eunuchs. They were the officials who were used by the emperors, monarchs, and their families in the ancient capital.
Eunuchs were also abnormal men, or not real men.
Although they were physically unsound, they were close to the imperial power and had a strong influence.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of eunuchs reached its peak.
During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were known as the Ten Attendants, and their leaders were Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
They toyed with the little Emperor in the palm of their hands, so much so that the Spirit Emperor said,"Attendant Zhang is my father, Attendant Zhao is my mother."
The Ten Generals themselves levied exorbitant taxes and sold official positions. Their fathers, brothers, and children spread all over the world, rampaging through villages and harming the people. No official dared to control them.
It was also because of the dark corruption of the eunuch group that led to the large-scale peasant uprising.
It could be said that the reason why the Eastern Han would eventually fall and perish was inextricably linked to them, the eunuchs.
But now, the Eastern Han was still around, and Emperor Ling was still in power. On the surface, it seemed that the power of the country was still concentrated in the central government, and eunuchs were naturally very popular.
For example, Zuo Feng was sent by the Ten Attendants to inspect the military.
The situation of the battle, the performance of the generals and officials, would often be transmitted to the ears of Emperor Ling of Han through this.
Therefore, even though he was just a eunuch, Zuo Feng actually had a lot of power. As long as he wanted to, he could say that what he said was black, and what was black could naturally be said to be white.
This time, the Yellow Turban thieves had caused a big disturbance. The Ten Attendants of the Eternal did not want to share the Emperor's worries. They thought that they were indeed using this opportunity to accumulate wealth for themselves.
Zuo Feng had come down to ask for bribes under the pretext of inspecting the military situation.
In fact, it was well known that the imperial court had openly sold officials to accumulate wealth.
This time, Zuo Feng didn't even need to say a word. Anyone with discerning eyes knew what he was doing.
The first place Zuo Feng inspected was Lu Zhi's land.
Lu Zhi, who had a resolute personality, did not bribe anyone. Even when someone advised him to bribe Zuo Feng, he refused.
Later on, Zuo Feng did not get any benefits, so he held a grudge. In June, after Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin.
"I think Guangzong County is easy to break through, but Lu Zhi didn't move. Is he waiting for God to kill Zhang Jiao?"”
Liu Hong was furious and issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from his post. He was escorted back to Luoyang in a prison cart and sentenced to life imprisonment (reduced death penalty by one degree).
Although he was later reinstated as the Minister of State after Huangfu Song offended him, it was clear that Zuo Feng and the entire eunuch group were capable.
Zhang Tian didn't want to offend such a person. He wouldn't offend him either. He even had to rely on him to seek greater benefits for himself.
As for Zhang Tian himself, if the world was not in chaos, he would not be able to stand out.
For this reason, he had no intention of stopping history from changing. What he needed was to develop quietly and then watch everything that happened. In the end, he would find an opportunity to establish his own camp and create his own territory and power.
For this reason, after hearing that the person he met was Zuo Feng, he had an idea.
Under the lead of the soldiers, they came to the side of the sedan chair and saw Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng was in his thirties but not yet forty years old. Perhaps it was because he had been castrated, he did not look very energetic.
"You are Zhang Tian."
Zuo Feng sized up Zhang Tian with a pair of small eyes. Seeing that he was indeed a young man who was not even seventeen years old, he believed the identity of the person who came.
