"Hahaha, Brother Yuan, although the general is young, his character is absolutely outstanding!"
Yuan Pang still smiled and recognized Zhang Wen's words very much.
"Zhang Cheqi is right. It is difficult for someone as young and in a high position as General Hou to be so humble! I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
Liu Zhang was so embarrassed by the compliments of the two men that he quickly stopped them.
"Both adults are highly respected seniors, so don't break the boy!"
"Hahaha, when you come, General, I will introduce you to the others."
As he spoke, he pulled Liu Zhang a few steps to the right and came to a rather majestic man.
"This is the bandit general Zhou Shen. General Zhou has also studied military science since he was a child and has been on the battlefield for many years!"
Although Zhou Shen's bandit general was just a general, Liu Zhang still did not look down upon him and took the initiative to salute Zhou Shen.
"General Zhou!"
In this era, there are not as many miscellaneous generals as there were in the Three Kingdoms a few decades later, and their status is much higher than that of captains.
Zhou Shen was naturally flattered. Although his qualifications were much higher than Liu Zhang's, he had only wasted his years and had only become a general with no title so far.
"I've met the General!"
Zhang Wen stretched his hand to the other side again, but his smile became a little embarrassed.
"Presumably this rear general already knows Dong Zhuo, the general of Polu."
Liu Zhang did not speak, but nodded to Dong Zhuo. He had already greeted Dong Zhuo just now.
Liu Zhang's attention was attracted by one person, and Zhang Wen happened to reach out to him.
"General Hou, this person is incredible! I specially found him to join the army!"
Liu Zhang laughed and nodded to Zhang Wen.
"I know, Tiger of the East!"
Liu Zhang recognized Sun Jian a long time ago and turned around to salute Sun Jian.
"Brother Wentai, long time no see!"
Sun Jian was a generous man, and he had long recognized Liu Zhang.
But now that the status gap between the two was too big, he didn't come forward shamelessly.
"Farewell, I never thought that Lieutenant Liu would be promoted to General!"
Sun Jian didn't dare to be negligent, he bowed his hands in salute, and there was a hint of sadness in his words.
I think back then, one of them was a Sima and the other was a miscellaneous captain. Their statuses were not much different!
In just one year, Sun Jian still only joined the army, but Liu Zhang had already reached the high position of general of the Quartet!
"Brother Wentai is good at fighting, and he will definitely be promoted to a higher rank in the future!"
Among the generals in front of him, Liu Zhang was most optimistic about Sun Jian. This man is really a war madman!
Not only is he extremely brave, but he also takes the lead in every battle. The soldiers under his command are like lunatics!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but look at Dong Zhuo on the side, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Dong Zhuo probably never imagined that he would be beaten by Sun Jian and move his capital! Hahaha!
Zhang Wen introduced other generals to Liu Zhang. They were undoubtedly insignificant figures and did not even leave their names in the history books. Liu Zhang just waved his hands and gestured. After all, they would be fighting together in the future, so they were considered acquaintances.
"General Hou, a banquet has been held in the palace, specially for you!"
Zhang Wen already valued Liu Zhang to the extreme. When Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen came, he did not hold a banquet to entertain them.
"Thank you Zhang Cheqi, please!"
"please!"
Zhang Wen did not give in this time. After all, he was the supreme commander of Meiyang and took the lead in walking into the city.
Liu Zhang made arrangements for the army, ordered Huang Zhong and four others to settle the soldiers, and asked Jia Xu and Xunyou to accompany him to the banquet.
Thirty miles outside Meiyang City, the Xiliang rebel camp is stationed here.
In the commander's tent of the Chinese army, the leaders of the Xiliang rebels gathered, with Bian Zhang sitting in the main seat.
"Generals, according to the latest information, the imperial court has dismissed Huangfu Song and replaced him with Chariot and Cavalry General Zhang Wen."
"Not only does Zhang Wen bring tens of thousands of troops from Chang'an, but he also has Dong Zhuo, the general who broke the enemy's captors, and Zhou Shen, the general who led the bandits, each carrying tens of thousands of troops. They have already gathered in Meiyang!"
Bian Zhang's face was heavy, and he was obviously under a lot of pressure.
Beigong Boyu on the side snorted, showing disdain.
"Don't worry, leader of the side. I wonder if Huangfu Song, who claims to be one of the Three Heroes of the Han Dynasty, was beaten by our army and fled in embarrassment? General Han, you are the smartest one here, what do you think?"
Beigong Boyu turned his attention to Han Sui. The last design of Huangfu Song was also done by Han Sui, which made Han Sui's status rise immediately.
Han Sui nodded to Beigong Boyu, but his expression was a little heavy.
"General Beigong is right. Huangfu Song still has some talents. As for Zhang Wen, he knows absolutely nothing about military affairs! I have heard of Zhang Wen. He was a civilian. This should be his first time leading an army." "Hahahahaha, then Mr. Liu Hong really has no one to use! He actually sent a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken!"
"General Beigong is right! As for Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, they are even more incompetent! Dong Zhuo was defeated by Zhang Jiao several times!"
"Hahahahaha, what a waste, waste! Hahahahaha"
Beigong Boyu was even more disdainful. In his opinion, he couldn't even defeat the peasant uprising army, let alone fight against his Yi Cong elite!
"General Beigong, don't take it too lightly. According to the scouts, someone came today!"
Han Sui interrupted Beigong Boyu's laughter, causing the latter to be dissatisfied.
"who?"
"General Hou, Liu Zhang."
"But the young man who put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Li Wenhou on the side exclaimed, with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Why are General Li making such a fuss about putting down the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Are you still a teenager?"
The speaker was Song Yang, a local tycoon in Liangzhou, the main initiator of the Liangzhou rebellion.
Li Wenhou looked grave, ignored Song Yang, and turned his attention to Han Sui.
"General Li is right, this Liu Zhang must not be underestimated!"
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became depressing. Everyone was looking at each other and no one spoke.
"Wen Yue, please tell everyone in detail so that we can discuss how to deal with it."
Bian Zhang is also a leader after all, so he can't be intimidated by just one person's name when he sees his generals!
"Liu Zhang should not be the weakest this year, but within a year, he killed Bo Cai, defeated hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, and then moved to Hebei. The three Zhang Jiao brothers died at his hands one after another!"
"Liu Zhang must win every battle. When the Yellow Turbans of Hebei saw Liu Zhang's banner, they became overwhelmed and had no desire to resist!"
"Moreover, this man's tactics are unpredictable, and he often takes them by surprise! Moreover, he is extremely courageous. He once used hundreds of men to sneak into the Yellow Turban camp of more than 100,000 people, and personally killed Bocai!"
Han Sui's description of Liu Zhang and Li Wenhou's fear made everyone fear Liu Zhang.
"What are you afraid of!"
Beigong Boyu roared loudly, and he was filled with fear when he saw the generals.
"If you're timid before fighting, there's no point in talking about a great cause! It's better to go back to Liangzhou as soon as possible!"
Bian Zhang also stood up and roared.
"That's right! No matter how powerful Liu Zhang is, can he still stop our tens of thousands of cavalry?"
"By the way, after the great defeat of Huangfu Song, tens of thousands of cavalry were added from all over Liangzhou. Now we have a hundred thousand people!"
One hundred thousand!
Bian Zhang's words are very effective. The number of soldiers and horses is confidence. The more confidence you have, the more fearless you will be!
"What Chief Bian said is right. No matter how powerful Liu Zhang is, he is just one person. Now that we have the advantage of soldiers and horses, we will be able to defeat the official army!"
Han Sui also boosted morale. He just wanted the generals not to underestimate Liu Zhang, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big panic.
"Go and write a challenge to Zhang Wen and ask him for a decisive battle tomorrow!"
Bian Zhang's eyes were determined, and he had already made up his mind.
