Chapter 216
There were constant disputes in the tent.
The dispute became increasingly fierce.
The soldiers outside the camp couldn't help but feel silent when they heard the quarrels from inside, and were cautious, for fear that they would accidentally be affected by the fish in the pond. In the soldiers' impression, Wang Yan and Huang Zhong got along well and had never had such a dispute.
This time, it really made a big deal.
The news quickly spread in the camp. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Xuan, Hu Zhao, Dian Wei, Zang Ba, Guan Hai and others soon arrived outside the camp. Hu Zhao was the first group to follow Wang Yan, with enough qualifications. He could no longer help but take the lead in entering as he listened to the quarrel.
The rest of the people also entered immediately.
After the crowd entered, various persuasions came soon.
After some advice, the situation calmed down, but Wang Yan's anger was not as good as the mistress, and he actually ordered Huang Zhong to be blamed for the ten army sticks. In the camp, in front of all the soldiers, Huang Zhong was severely punished for the ten army sticks.
After ten sticks, Huang Zhong's butt was already covered in blood.
From the first stick to the end, Huang Zhong kept silent, but his expression was as cold as frost. After he was tortured, he hunched his back and returned to the camp alone to rest. After Wang Yan vented his anger, he did not stay and took Shi A back to the governor's mansion.
A dispute came to an end, but there was a constant discussion in the camp.
The news soon spread and even reached Xu Zang's ears.
Xu Mansion, study room.
Xu Zang browsed the letters he sent back, and his face even more smiling.
In my heart, I was even more proud.
I met Wang Yan in the military camp, and then framed Huang Zhong with smeared letters, causing the relationship between Wang Yan and Huang Zhong to break down. This is his proud work.
Now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good.
The housekeeper stood aside and suggested: "Master, Huang Zhong was heavily punished by Wang Yan. If the ten-army sticks were down, Huang Zhong must be resentful. Now is the best time to instigate him. Should we send someone to incite Huang Zhong to rebellion immediately?"
Xu Zang said: "Of course"
The housekeeper was resolute and immediately said, "I will send someone to invite Huang Zhong and ask his mansion to negotiate."
"Are you stupid?" Xu Zang threw his eyes coldly, and the butler immediately bent his waist and said quickly: "Please make it clear by the master."
Xu Zang said: "At this moment, I blatantly invited Huang Zhong to the mansion. Isn't this aggravation for Huang Zhong? Now that the effect of discord has been achieved, Huang Zhong is our person. What we need to do now is to ask him to meet in private."
The housekeeper flattered: "The master is wise, I will make arrangements for you now, so I must be low-key and secret."
Xu Zang nodded then, and the butler immediately withdrew.
Xu Zang sat in the room, a successful smile appeared on his face, and said confidently: "After all, young people are passionate and cannot withstand the arousal, and they cannot hold back their anger. Wang Yan, you have lost this time."
Military camp, central army tent.
Huang Zhong lay on the bed to rest, and a soldier walked in and reported: "General, there is someone outside the camp, claiming to be your distant relative, but I can't see you.
Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Please"
Not long after, a young-looking young man walked in. When the young man saw Huang Zhong, he saluted respectfully, then looked at the soldiers standing in the tent at the slanting eyes and stopped talking.
Huang Zhong immediately came over and waved his hand and said, "Go down. Without my order, you are not allowed to enter without authorization."
The soldier got the order and then retreated.
Huang Zhong said: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
The young man smiled slightly and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Can't you guess the hero among General Huang?"
Huang Zhong's eyes were stunned and he shouted: "Xu Zang's people"
The young man replied: "General is wise"
Huang Zhong said: "What did Xu Zang send someone to do?"
The young man immediately said: "Tonight, the head of the family invites you to meet in the woods three miles southeast of the camp."
When Huang Zhong heard this, he became silent.
The young man struck while the iron was hot and quickly persuaded: "The general was beaten by the ten army for no reason. It must be very painful in his body or in his heart."
Huang Zhong said: "This is thanks to Xu Zang."
The young man shook his head and said, "If Wang Yan trusted the general without reservation, no matter what the head of the family did, it would be useless. It was Wang Yan's suspicion that he would be like this. With the first time, there would be a second, third time, or even a head. Are the heroes among the generals willing to be wronged and restrained everywhere? If a person does not punish himself, he should plan for himself."
Huang Zhong took a deep breath and waved his hand and said, "Tell Xu Zang that I will go on time."
"The general won't regret today's decision."
The young man bowed and left with a smile.
After the young man disappeared into the camp, Wang Yan walked in, looked at Huang Zhong lying on the bed, and slowly said, "Han Sheng, I'm sorry for you this time."
Huang Zhong said seriously: "For the overall situation of Qingzhou and the people of Qingzhou, we will not be wronged. Lord, I am just worried that after seeing Xu Zang, he will not agree with the conditions I proposed.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Hansheng, it depends on your ability. I believe you will not have any problems."
Huang Zhong nodded heavily, still feeling a little nervous.
After leaving the camp, the young man went straight back to his house. After seeing Xu Zang, he reported the news one by one.
Xu Zang was excited and stood up and headed for Qi's house.
When I arrived at Qi's house, Tian Pu was also there.
In the study, Qi Tan, Tian Pu and Xu Zang sat down.
Xu Zang took the initiative to say, "Old Qi, the head of the Tian family, the previous plan of disagreement has been successful. Tonight, Huang Zhong agreed to meet me. This matter will be successful.
Qi Tan nodded, with a look of relief, and said slowly: "I have heard of your plan of disagreement, which is very good. But to talk about Huang Zhong, it depends on the negotiations at night. If the negotiations are successful, it will naturally not matter. What if the negotiations break down? The focus now is on your bottom line of negotiations? "
Xu Zang shook his head and replied, "I came to see Mr. Qi, just to ask for the bottom line. I represent the negotiations between the Qingzhou family and Huang Zhong, and the head of the Qi and the Tian family needs to define a range."
Qi Tan said: "What were you planning?"
Xu Zang said: "As long as Huang Zhong cooperates, the biggest bottom line is to support Huang Zhong as the governor of Qingzhou."
Tian Pu immediately denied it and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree. Huang Zhong and Wang Yun are different. Wang Yun's ability lies in sorting out government affairs. When we control Qingzhou government affairs, Wang Yun has no soldiers and power, so he is a dragon trap. Huang Zhong is different. He is from a corps. Once he serves as the governor of Qingzhou and has great justice, he can recruit soldiers. With his ability to march and fight, he may backfire us."
Qi Tan nodded and said, "Tian Pu's analysis makes sense."
Xu Zang suddenly became anxious and asked, "What should I do?"
Tian Puluo thought about it and said directly: "At most, let Huang Zhong be the prefect of a county. Or, let Huang Zhong be the county magistrate of Donglai County."
Qi Tan shook his head and said, "It is difficult for a county prefect to impress Huang Zhong."
Tian Pudao: "What should Mr. Qi do?"
Qi Tan smiled and said, "It is not impossible to let Huang Zhong be the governor of Qingzhou, but he must marry and let him marry a woman from a noble family in Qingzhou. As for which family to choose a woman of the right age, he can discuss it again. As long as he gets married and has children, he is not free. As for the government affairs and military control of Qingzhou, he can make a verbal promise first and then slowly get it done after the matter is completed."
Xu Zang immediately said, "Old Qi, my young girl is sixteen years old this year, just right."
Qi Tan glanced at Xu Zang and said, "Yes."
Xu Zang stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go down and prepare immediately."
Qi Tan nodded, and Xu Zang turned around and left.
In the study, only Qi Tan and Tian Pu were left. Tian Pu Cang's face was filled with sinisterness and said, "Old Qi, Xu Zang actively wooed Huang Zhong, probably because he wanted the Xu family to go up to another level, and it might threaten the interests of both of you and me."
Qi Tan smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Tian Pu immediately shook his head and said, "What am I afraid of?"
However, the vague look in his eyes revealed Tian Pu’s inner worries.
Qi Tan said: "The Tian family has been in the past hundreds of years of foundation and has a deep foundation. Not everyone can replace it. External factors are important, but the most important thing is its inner background. Cultivating more young heroes and letting them go out to make achievements is the main thing. As for Huang Zhong, do you really think Xu Zang can make Huang Zhong devote himself? Humph, after the matter between Wang Yun and Wang Yan is solved, you can take a little action and give Huang Zhong some support and let him become independent. It is also possible to have an additional aristocratic family in Qingzhou."
