Zhu Jun led all the soldiers to kneel down and kowtow: "Your Majesty! Accept the order!"
The eunuch glanced at everyone with disdain, spread out the imperial edict and began to read: "The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven has issued an edict: The Yellow Turban bandits have arisen to bring disaster to the great people. I will support you and promote them to high positions with the intention of wiping out the bandits. However, Lu Zhi was weak and ignorant, and failed to suppress the bandits. He was dismissed from his post and escorted back to Beijing as a warning to others! The partial general Dong Zhuo had outstanding military exploits. He swept across Qingzhou and killed the enemy for his meritorious service. He was named You Zhonglang General and replaced Lu Zhi in the expedition to Jizhou. I have given you special orders. Wait for the bandit trouble to be resolved within two months, join forces with Julu, and wipe out the bandits!"
Zhu Jun frowned when he heard the imperial edict. At this time, he was a little confused about the thoughts in Han Ling Emperor's mind. The three of them turned the tide in the face of danger. Lu Zhi fought alone in Jizhou and was confronting Zhang Bao at this time. Although he did not achieve much results, he You won’t end up being dismissed! Zhu Jun smelled a conspiracy in this.
Zhu Jun stood up to receive the order. Angel took out a pink silk scarf from his sleeve and covered his mouth with a sweet smile: "Our family has come all the way. It is very hard in this place where there is no place for shit. The lieutenant will... what do you think... …” The voice was like a drake, making people’s skin crawl.
Zhu Jun's face was livid. The emperor openly sold his official positions, and his actions were followed by deeds. The pickets in the palace were even more greedy. Every time they sent people to various places, they had to search and plunder. Now that the Han Dynasty is at a critical moment of life and death, these guys still remain true to their nature. , Zhu Jun said coldly: "I have important things to do, angels can do as they please!"
The eunuch was immediately angry and itched his teeth. However, Zhu Jun's temper was notoriously bad. Although he secretly resented it, he did not dare to offend Zhu Jun on the spot. Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The angel came from far away to work hard. Dong is doing his best to be a landlord." !" When the eunuch saw Dong Zhuo, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Dong! That's very good, and I also want to wish you a promotion!"
Dong Zhuo clasped his fists at Zhu Jun and said, "General Zhu! Now that Dong has been succeeded as You Zhonglang General, he wants to lead the war in Jizhou, so I won't bother you anymore!" As soon as Dong Zhuo was promoted, he became arrogant and even changed his title. , and it sounds like they want to withdraw their troops immediately.
Zhu Jun said coldly: "Please help yourself!" After saying that, he turned around and entered the camp. Qin Ge and others were about to follow him into the camp.
"Bo Xi, wait!" Dong Zhuo suddenly called out to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge turned around in surprise and said, "What will General Dong Zhonglang do?"
Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru to accompany the angel first. He came over and put his arms around Qin Ge's shoulders and said, "Bo Xi! Dong's favorite thing in life is to make friends with heroes in the world. This time, Yan Qing and his party can make friends with heroes like you." What a joy in life! It's actually a good thing to go out after giving orders. I think Zhongzhang is a good young man and I like him very much. I want to adopt him as my adopted son. How about taking him with me?" Qin Ge was surprised. , I didn’t expect Dong Zhuo to take a fancy to Qin Jizong, but if Qin Jizong could follow Dong Zhuo, it would be a huge benefit to himself, and he would definitely learn a lot.
However, Qin Ge has always been more democratic. Although no Qin family disciple dared to disobey his words, he still wanted to see Qin Jizong and let him make his own decision. He smiled and said, "Master Dong's love is Zhongzhang's blessing! But since Zhongzhang followed you that day, I The two brothers haven’t met yet, I’d like to hear Zhong Zhang’s thoughts?”
Dong Zhuo nodded, turned around and said to one of his subordinates: "Go and invite General Qin!" While Qin Ge and Dong Zhuo were chatting, Qin Jizong followed the general in a hurry. Qin Ge saw Qin Jizong frown slightly, because at this time, although Qin Jizong's strength had soared, he actually He broke through the third-rate realm and entered the second-rate realm, but his face was haggard with a hint of devilish aura, and there was a faint indifference in his eyes. This was a kind of indifference that ignored life, Qin Ge secretly reported it.
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Zhongzhang, your eldest brother wants you to make your own decision?"
Qin Jizong was hesitant and difficult to make a decision. Qin Ge sighed: "General Dong, it is his blessing that Zhongzhang can follow you. However, my Qin family has only a small number of people. Now there are bandits everywhere in Yanzhou, and the Yanzhou nobles regard it as I am a stranger, and my subordinates lack arms, and Jizong is one of my arms. If we lose him, our Qin clan may be in a difficult situation, and I still hope that Jizong can stay by my side to help me!"
Qin Jizong was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Qin Ge and cupped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you, sir, for your love! Jizong is a member of the Qin family in life, and a ghost of the Qin family in death. He will never leave the family!"
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed: "You Qin men are respectable! That's all! In that case, I won't force you! Just take care of yourself!" After that, he turned and left.
Looking at Dong Zhuo disappearing from the gate, he sighed: "You should have heard about it! Dong Zhuo is the hero of the world, and will be the overlord of the world in the future, Zhong Zhang! Follow him, and your growth will be immeasurable!" Becoming Dong Zhuo's confidant is what many people dream of, and it is a pity that Qin Jizong missed it like this.
Qin Jizong looked at Qin Ge in surprise and said, "Brother, don't you want me to follow this person?"
Qin Ge patted Qin Jizong's shoulder and sighed: "Although Dong Zhuo is an unparalleled overlord, his arrogance is similar to that of the Chu Overlord, but this man is bloodthirsty, murderous, and has no regard for life. If you become that kind of person, I will I hope you can be an ordinary person!"
Qin Jizong fell into silence, hesitated for a long time and said: "Brother! You are a hero to the world, but you are bullied by villains. You care about the common people, but you have to be humble. Without those bullshit rules, how could Liu Dai and the others dare to bully you like this! "
Qin Ge frowned secretly in his heart. Qin Jizong had really changed in the past few months following Dong Zhuo. He put his arms around Qin Jizong's shoulders and said: "Zhong Zhang! You are wrong. What we follow is not the rules, but the bottom line! Ever since we determined to conquer the world, we It is true that we have done a lot of bloody things, but we have never crossed the bottom line! That is to do whatever you want for your own selfish desires! If you break through that bottom line, what is the difference between you and Liu Dai and the others? You are even crazier than them. , even more cruel! That’s what Dong Zhuo is! For his own sake, he can destroy humanity, be ruthless, and treat the common people as nothing more than nothing. That’s not a human being, it’s a demon!”
Looking at Qin Jizong, Qin Ge's tone suddenly became stern and said: "The men of the Qin family must live upright. If they destroy human relations and hide in the devil's way, I will be the first to clean up the family! This is the bottom line of the Qin family!" Qin Jizong's body was full of blood. Shocked, he bowed to Qin Ge and said solemnly: "Brother! I understand!"
Qin Ge patted Qin Jizong's head and said, "You must have worked hard during this period. Take your brothers and take a good rest!" Qin Jizong clasped his fists and left.
Qin Ge watched Qin Jizong's leaving figure and was silent for a while. He opened the big tent and saw everyone in the big tent with sad faces. Tao Qian squinted and said, "Qin Lieutenant, you are very familiar with Dong Zhuo! You will be eager to see Dong Zhuo promoted." Come up and congratulate?" Tao Qian, as the leader of the gentry and a great scholar, had a natural dislike for Dong Zhuo, and Qin Ge, a country boy, was always an enemy of Liu Dai, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and openly fought against the gentry, such a deviant person , in his eyes, he is no different from Dong Zhuo.
Qin Ge sneered and said: "The sage said: 'See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, do no evil'. Although General Dong was born in a rough manner, at least he did not gossip like a shrew behind others' backs. Qin naturally I am willing to associate with this kind of people!" Tao Qian's old face was livid with anger. He had long heard that Qin Ge was disobedient and was good at doing bad things. Today, when he saw him, his reputation was well-deserved.
Tao Qian trembled and pointed at Qin Ge and said: "You are a reckless person who has messed up the general ethics. If you commit the following crimes, you are no different from thieves. Do you despise us?"
Qin Ge cupped his fists and said, "For the gentleman-like Confucians like Mr. Zhu who serve the country and the people, Qin admires them from the bottom of his heart. But for those villain-minded Confucians who spend all day searching for chapters and extracting sentences but secretly squandering things, Qin People always stay away from you!" Qin Ge was already angry. Damn it, Liu Dai stepped on him, the Yanzhou nobles stepped on him, you old bastard from outside the state also stepped on him, what the hell.
Tao Qian was shaking with anger and stammering. Zhu Jun said seriously: "Okay! This is a military camp tent, not a vegetable market! You all should work together to defeat the Yellow Turban!" Although Qin Ge and Tao Qian Angry, but not daring to disobey Zhu Junzhi, he sat back in his seat.
Cao Cao broke the deadlock with some embarrassment and said: "Now that the Xiliang Army has withdrawn from the battle, how can we break the formation!" Everyone in the field frowned. The Xiliang Army and the Yulin Army have always been the two main forces in annihilating the Yellow Turban Bandits, and now Xiliang Army The army withdrew and did not participate in the battle. Without this powerful combat power, the Han army was like losing a leg. It was even more difficult to break Zhang Liang's Five Jue Formation!
Tao Qian was an old man and didn't want Xuzhou's soldiers to suffer excessive losses. He gently stroked his beard and said, "Yes! This matter must be discussed in the long run!"
Seeing the shrinking gazes of the local army leaders in the field, Zhu Jun's expression changed slightly. This is what he fears most when marching and fighting. Once the morale of the army is weakened, it will be like a landslide.
He turned around and glanced at Qin Ge, and found that his face was calm, with contempt in his expression. Although Qin Ge was not as resourceful and knowledgeable as Cao Cao, he was often able to turn the tide. He coughed lightly and said: "Bo Xi! You seem to have Can you tell me a strategy to defeat the enemy?" After hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Ge.
Qin Ge hesitated and said nothing. Zhu Jun seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts and looked directly at Qin Ge and said: "A man should put the common people of the world first, and those who care about their own gains and losses will never be great!"
Qin Ge looked at the encouraging look in Zhu Juan's eyes, and was filled with tangles in his heart. This adult's attitude towards him was really 'ambiguous'. You could say he killed indiscriminately and ruthlessly, but he could give up sacred objects such as Jianmu to save Laiwu. The people of Xian County and Gaixian County, probably because they appreciated their talents, did promote themselves to the vanguard of the North Route Army. However, when Liu Dai and the others saw him gaining military exploits, they were jealous and seized the command of the North Route Vanguard. Zhu Jun did not hesitate at all and acquiesced to the three of them. To add insult to injury, if Qin Ge lost at that time, he would die without a burial place. Now Qin Ge has a plan, but this plan will definitely offend all the nobles present and the Xuzhou and Yanzhou nobles, but Zhu Jun encourages him. Qin Ge always feels like being used as a gunman. But when he looked up and saw Zhu Jun's eyes without any impurities, Qin Ge had no reason to trust this person.
Qin Ge stood up and took a deep breath and said to himself: "Forget it! Just die! Anyway, this knife is not enough!" Qin Ge cupped his fists to everyone in the field and said: "Forgive me, everyone in the field is a talented man. Jun, gather the strength of everyone and destroy Zhang Liang effortlessly!"
Hearing Qin Ge's words, everyone felt like they were talking nonsense. Tao Qian sneered and said: "That's nonsense! We have been fighting with the Yellow Turban Bandits for so long, and all the generals have seen how brave the Yellow Turban Bandits are. The sensationalism is simply ridiculous!”
Zhu Jun raised his hand and said: "Masters, wait a minute! Qin Boxi! Tell me your plan. If I can defeat the Yellow Turban, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty and plan for your first achievement!"
Zhu Juan suppressed everyone, and Qin Ge cleared his throat and said: "What Qin just said is that there are countless talented people under your account. However, most of these people are in humble positions and their talents cannot be used. If these people are allowed to Able to display the talents of dragons and tigers, the yellow scarf soldiers are like chickens and dogs. For example, Cao Duwei has the talent of commanding a marshal with thousands of troops and horses. He can only display his talents by becoming the commander-in-chief of the three armies! Fierce generals such as Xiahou Dun, Wen Chou, and Dian Wei and other great generals, as well as the talented ones, I, Yanzhou Xiahouyuan, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Li Dian, are all talented commanders of the armies, and the good planners are like Dongjun Chen Yu, Xuzhou Chen Deng and other famous people, if these people can be allowed to take charge of the three armies Give full play to your power and inspire the power of our army. It is just a matter of hands to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits!" As soon as Qin Ge said this, the whole place was silent. Qin Ge dared to say these words. This is equivalent to a map cannon, hitting everyone. Face. Cao Cao secretly gave Qin Ge a thumbs up. This Qin Ge was so bold that he dared to pierce even the sky. For this, Cao Cao truly admired him!
Zhu Jun fell into silence because Qin Ge's words were simply too...
"You bastard! Qin! What do you mean! Do you think we are people who eat nothing?" Lieutenant Colonel Feng Fang became furious and started to protest. The other generals and generals of the Han Dynasty looked at each other angrily. Qin Ge asked those servants to take his place. This was obviously a mockery of their incompetence. How could everyone not be angry? Although Zhang Miao and Bao Xin did not speak, Qin Ge's words had already touched the bottom line of the noble clan! The gentry class developed by relying on the inspection system, and Qin Ge's words undoubtedly broke their privileges. This was like a knife thrust into the hearts of the gentry, and they absolutely couldn't bear it.
Tao Qian stood up angrily and said: "Master Zhu! Qin Ge is a madman, how different from a demon! It is the law of heaven to obey the rules above and below, and our position is specially appointed by His Majesty. Qin Ge, this son , To say so violates ordinary ethics and is no different from animals. Moreover, he said that we have no talent. Doesn’t this mean that Your Majesty does not know how to recognize people’s talents? Such fanatics and thieves should be beaten with sticks! " After speaking, he knelt down and clasped his fists in supplication. All the generals in the field knelt down to beg, and even the Yanzhou nobles also knelt down.
Only Cao Cao was still sitting in the main seat, looking at Qin Ge with interest. Qin Ge was expressionless. He knew he was going to stir up a hornet's nest before speaking, but he still expressed his respect for Zhu Juan. Qin Ge looked at the high-ranking ministers kneeling in the field, and felt a sense of ridicule in his heart for no reason. At the same time, he felt uncertain about his own future, because the path he wanted to take in the future was contrary to these people, and he would stand beside these people in the future. the opposite of.
Zhu Jun's chest rose and fell violently, and his Qi-nourishing technique was almost broken. At this moment, his heart was beating violently. Qin Ge really dared to think and say this kind of thing. In fact, everyone just had a thought in their hearts on weekdays. Qin Ge actually dared to say things that he didn't even dare to think about openly, and he also took action! Zhu Juan looked at Qin Ge and saw Qin Ge staring at him fearlessly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes as if to say: "I dare to sacrifice my life for the sake of the world, what about you, Mr. Zhu?"
Zhu Jun took a deep breath, calmed down and said: "You are wrong! Boxi's words are just suggestions and suggestions. You can just accept them if you don't want to adopt them. Why do you have to act like this? Okay! Your war affairs are complicated, so we will discuss matters today. That’s it for now, I’ll discuss it again when the bill is raised tomorrow!”
