Zhao Yun looked at the treasures that had been given away, but her lord seemed to be very happy. She was a little puzzled. If all these good things were exchanged for money, they could buy a lot of military supplies and equipment.
Of course, even if Zhang Tian was not in a hurry, it was useless for him to be anxious. He only needed to follow his lord and rush through the night.
At the fifth watch, Zhang Tian and the others returned to Chenliu. Seeing that the Second Young Master had returned, the city guards hurriedly opened the city gate.
The group went out without a sound and returned without a sound. It was very mysterious.
Guo Jia rushed over as soon as he returned to the Second Young Master's residence.
Upon seeing Guo Jia, Zhang Tian, who had just changed into a clean white robe under the care of Xiang Yue and the others, laughed out loud.
"Fengxiao, it's all thanks to you guarding the city this time that I can do things with ease.”
"My lord, you flatter me. You don't know that with those cavalry patrolling every day, no one would dare to make trouble. Even some of the scattered Yellow Turban soldiers nearby wouldn't dare to have any ideas about Chen Liu.”
Guo Jia laughed as well.
It was obvious that the city had been very quiet during this period of time due to the intimidation of the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Rui.
"Alright, alright."
Zhang Tian patted Guo Jia's shoulder with a smile and invited him to sit down.
He was very relieved to leave this person to guard the city. His intelligence was among the top five in the entire three countries. If he could not even guard a small Chen Liu, then he would really be suspected of living up to his reputation.
After the two of them sat down, Zhang Tian told them everything he had gained from this trip.
In fact, Guo Jiayi already knew most of the things. The five carts of treasures had all been transported back to the city. He had asked someone to roughly calculate that this money could be used to equip five thousand cavalrymen.
If the 800 cavalrymen had such a formation, how spectacular would it be if the number of troops reached 5,000?
Guo Jia had a little hope in his heart.
Of course, Guo Jia agreed with Zhang Tian's words about meeting Zuo Feng and giving him half a cart of treasures.
As a wise man, he had to understand the principle that a real man could yield and stand firm.
A true expert not only had to have a strong side, but also know when to advance and retreat, and know how to tolerate.
Just like the Conqueror Xiangyu, if he was willing to admit defeat, there was still a chance for East Mountain to rise again.
Guo Jia naturally agreed with Zhang Tianken's decision to buy an official position. After all, if he wanted to succeed, he needed to have a certain status and his own power.
Just like what Zhang Tian had said before, political power came from the barrel of a gun, which was the best explanation.
"Mm, since the money is in place, we can start expanding the army. However, it is not advisable to expand too quickly. Let's limit it to three thousand people. Too many people are not good for hiding. As for the rest of the money, keep it. I have great use for it.”
When Zhang Tian thought about the trip to Luoyang, he would have to spend money.
"Alright."
Guo Jia nodded in agreement.
If the 3,000 cavalrymen could be trained like the Zhang Family Army, then they would be able to deal with ordinary enemies easily.
After the two of them talked about the situation in Chen Liu and the things they needed to take note of once they went to the capital, Guo Jia left.
Zhang Tian called Xiang Yue over and said,"
"Yue 'er, ask Lu Fei to arrange for them to immediately infiltrate Luoyang. I want to know everything there.”
As he spoke, Zhang Tian's eyes lit up, and his face was filled with righteousness. Xiang Yue, who was watching from the side, felt like she was about to fall into his arms.
She realized that after Second Young Master returned this time, he seemed to have become more mature, more heroic, and more masculine.
After Zhao Yun followed Zhang Tian back to Chen Liu, she immediately expanded the cavalry and trained soldiers according to the plan.
At the same time, Lu Fei, the person in charge of the Heavenly Eye, also started to expand the intelligence system under Zhang Tian's instruction. With the support of a large amount of money and the second young master Shi Er's suggestions, the power and informants of the Heavenly Eye organization began to spread throughout the country.
After the Yellow Turban Army's initial offensive was suppressed, they retreated step by step. For a time, peace was restored in the vicinity of Chenliu City, and the Drunken Heroes were able to sold well.
Of course, other places were still in chaos, and there were still many refugees coming to Chenliu every day. This allowed Zhang Tian's military expansion plan to proceed smoothly and secretly.
Two months later, at the end of year 184, Zhang Miao returned to Chenliu.
He had taken seven hundred soldiers with him, but less than a hundred followed him back.
It was not an easy task to eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban army this time.
Fortunately, he was still the prefect and had completed Huangfu Song's military order, so he could return to the city to rest.
On the seventh day after Zhang Miao returned to Chenliu, the imperial court sent a notice to Zhang Tian, requesting him to enter the capital to meet the emperor.
Zhang Tian had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
This trip to Luoyang was also completely within his plan. Other than obtaining fame, he still had two things to do.
This concerned the lives of the two women. Zhang Tian was going to save them, and at the same time, he was laying the foundation for his great cause.
After the prefect Zhang Miao learned of the imperial edict, he summoned his younger brother Zhang Tian.
"Ba Yuan, although this trip is not dangerous, the capital is a place of trouble. If you say something wrong, you might get into trouble.”
Zhang Miao said with concern.
"Thank you for your reminder, brother. I know what to do.”
Zhang Tian nodded respectfully. He knew very well how much his brother cared for him.
Of course, in return, he also wanted to repay this elder brother of his with a carefree life.
Zhang Miao, who was very satisfied with his younger brother, nodded and said,"
"You're quite reassuring. How was it? Who was he planning to bring to the capital this time? You can choose the soldiers guarding the city."
