Chapter 134 To Luoyang
Huo Hai is six or seven years older than Chu Yan, so he is naturally the eldest brother. Chu Yan is four or five years older than Zhao Yun, ranking second. Zhao Yun, who is still a few months away from turning 16, is undoubtedly the third brother.
It’s also a blessing that three people became sworn brothers. Otherwise, he would probably become Zhao Si, whose names are very inconsistent.
After the sworn brothers, the three of them called each other and decided to have their names. They were a little embarrassed when calling each other's names, because the youngest Zhao Yun had the word "biao", while Huo Hai and Chu Yan did not.
So, along the way, the three brothers discussed the most, naturally the issue of the word "song". After all, they are now both big and small, so how can they do without the word "song"?
Finally, Huo Hai gave Chu Yan the word "Flying Yan" he used in history.
And he will talk about his own words afterwards.
The team stopped for a while when they arrived in Yecheng.
First, Huo Hai wanted to meet the family here that had business dealings with Heishanzhai, and even acquaintances like Ju Su and Shen Pei.
The second is to hit the families who chose to support Zixu, Li Yi and Guan Lu. Although Huo Hai knew that these three had already escaped from other places, if there was another next time, Huo Hai would not mind letting some bandits come over and let their fields be harvested every year.
This is the benefit of having an official identity. Robbery is not called robbery. As long as Huo Hai does not put his own banner, it is not considered robbery. It is all done by the bandits. If you want to suppress the bandits, you should pay the money and grain. Then, Huo Hai said in one sentence, ensuring that there will be no bandits robbing the grain in your fields.
These powerful gentry families used to use this kind of blind trick to ordinary people, but now Huo Hai uses the same trick to use it on them.
Of course, Guo Tu is the most active in the social scene. From the beginning of the first banquet, he said bluntly that he went to Luoyang this time? He wanted to ask for the official position of Prime Minister of Zhongshan? Later, he even told everyone that he was afraid that others would not know? He was so high-profile that he was out of bounds.
When many aristocrats in Yecheng saw that those who were unreliable like Guo Tu could go to Heishanzhai to take the second seat? He asked Huo Hai to help him find a high-ranking official who bought two thousand stones in the court, and he was no worse than Guo Tu? Why not try to bet on Huo Hai?
So? The wind turned and everyone started to invite Huo Hai and Guo Tu to the banquet. A pile of invitations was delivered to Huo Hai. After some selection, Huo Hai finally chose a very inconspicuous Tian family. Because their family is in the branch of Julu County, there is a talent named Tian Feng. This person was hailed as Maocai and worked as a counselor in Luoyang. Because of his temper, he abandoned his post and returned home.
Huo Hai knew that his intelligence is only stronger than Guo Tu, and he has military talents. He has seen more worlds than Guo Tu. In history, he is one of the most important counselors who was able to unify Hebei? He could not get Ju Sushi? He asked Tian Feng to be a discipline officer and a military officer. It is also very good.
So, two days later, another man and a horse were added to Huo Hai's team. Tian Feng, wearing a long essay robe and a broad sword of less than 20 kilograms, was invited to join Huo Hai's camp and was appointed as a military counselor. He was in charge of military discipline in daily life and made suggestions in wartime.
Tian Feng was a little flattered when he was in charge of a certain aspect. After all, the Heishanzhai army has a large number of troops, which are in charge of tens of thousands of people! He was not familiar with Huo Hai at all.
However, after following Huo Hai's team for a few days, he felt at ease. Huo Hai said that he would basically not avoid him in anything, and would take the initiative to ask him for his opinions, which made him feel that he was very valued, so he began to sincerely plan for Huo Hai.
Successfully recruiting Tian Feng made Huo Hai feel good, which is the benefit of his identity from turning from a thief to an official.
Along the way, he discussed things with Guo Tu and Tian Feng without any trouble, and also called Chu Yan, Zhao Yun, including Guan Hai and several team leaders of Jifeng Cavalry, which opened up a lot of insights from these low-level generals and let them know what political power is.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the team crossed the Yellow River and officially entered the boundary of Sili. The news that Huo Hai, the general of the Pacific Army, entered Beijing to see the emperor was spread in Luoyang City.
Don’t think that Huo Hai was a traitorous warlord in the impression of the people of Luoyang. In fact, the most face-saving thing in this world is always the emperor. In order to embellish his achievements, he insisted on Huo Hai as a hero who helped the court to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Why did he help the court to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
Of course, I was inspired by the emperor!
The emperor naturally would not treat the meritorious ministers who served the court unfairly. Therefore, Huo Hai is now promoted by the emperor, Shunping Hou with Miao Zhenggen, and the General of the Central Army who was promoted by Miao Zhenggen.
Of course, the impression of the people in this era does not represent anything. No one cares about public opinion. At most, he himself regards this as a lively event about Luoyang City, but the court officials are different.
Even Huo Hai himself didn't know that he was now an important figure who could influence the court's structure.
Because of his arrival, the Ten Changshou's waist became hard instantly.
Because of his arrival, General He Jin felt that his authority was provoked.
Because of his arrival, the Taifu Yuan Kui family opened a conference and a series of plans began.
"After a few months, Huo Ping can't be fine!" Thirty miles north of Luoyang City, Cao Cao led a guard of honor to meet Huo Hai's team.
"When Meng De welcomes you, everything will be fine." Huo Hai intervened and replied to Cao Cao, but saw that this guy's eyes kept looking at his team, looking disappointed.
Zhang Ning didn't accompany him!
"Hey, Cao Mengde, you are here to welcome us naked!" Chu Yan shouted when she saw Cao Cao's unconscious appearance.
"Oh, the wine and food are ready. Please follow me to the West Garden for dinner."
Cao, who came back to his senses, used a gesture of inviting, then turned his horse's head and walked with Huo Hai who was driving forward, and whispered in Huo Hai's ear, "It's a pity that I can't see the style of the female general this time."
"I said, you are the one who takes care of the job that welcomes me for this matter! Okay, our friendship ends here." Huo Hai said speechlessly.
"Then, that's not possible. In this chaotic era, you and my family are working closely together to move forward. When we come to greet you this time, we will naturally discuss some important matters. There are many people here, and I will talk to you in detail at the banquet later." Cao Cao glanced around and said.
"Then let's talk about something that everyone can listen to. How much will we make in Yanzhou and Sili's business in the past two months?" Huo Hai asked Cao Cao.
"Making a living? I am a general in the Yulin Central Army, so how could I take care of those business matters with my own hands? They are all lackeys and people who specialize in making a living under your jurisdiction. I have never asked about it." Cao Cao wondered.
"Oh, the two thousand stone master is amazing! However, you are not a qualified partner. Financial power is the basis of all power. How can you just ask?" Huo Hai criticized Cao Cao.
"Haha, it's not my turn to take charge of the Cao family's financial power. At present, I can only take charge of the Yulin Guard's financial power. Don't blame me for not being able to entertain you. The best barracks in the West Garden have been cleaned up for you, and all the wine, meat and horse materials have been prepared for you. Before the emperor asked you to leave, you just need to lead your subordinates to live there, and you will cover all the application level with me." Cao Cao said generously.
"Hehe, you are not ruthless when using public funds. However, I have only more than 200 people in my business. How much can I eat and use you? Let's take a look. I heard that this Xiyuan is the place where the emperor garrisons garrison horses. There are countless BMWs inside. If you can get me two BMWs like the claws under your crotch, I will accept this favor." Huo Hai touched his chin and said.
After seeing Ye Zhaoyu Lion under Zhao Yun's crotch, he wanted a BMW more and more. This thing is much more interesting than raising a smart pet dog in later generations, because those who can be called BMW are all psychic beasts. They are not only smart, but also understand the meaning of humans, but also have many special abilities.
Like Zhao Yun's Night Jade Lion, although it is not very fierce and explosive, its endurance and fighting will be the best of all BMWs. Zhao Yun can ride him and hunt in the mountains with deep grass and thick snow for seven days. After finishing, he still doesn't show any fatigue.
Once you cooperate with Zhao Yun, it looks very similar to a lion catching prey on the grassland, with very good methods and routines.
"BMW is so easy to get, so it's not called a BMW. Even in Xiyuan, how many BMWs can there be comparable to Jaw Huang Feidian!
However, I heard that the prefect of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo, recently gave His Majesty a few Dayuan BMWs, which were all a thousand-mile divine horse. If you really want it, you can only ask the emperor to give up his love."
"Can Huo Hai ride the emperor's horse?"
"As long as you ask Mr. Zhang to say a few words, there is nothing you can't ride."
"Even you think I was a bribe to the Ten Generals?"
"That fools think so, but there are so many fools in the world, and I can't do anything about it. Now, this is the invitation of the general. Tomorrow, you can report to his house yourself."
"I go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor, and I have to report to the General's Mansion first?"
"Since your official position is a general of the Central Army, you will be controlled by the general. Our general is also a complete fool. I am afraid that you will regard you as a member of the Ten Eunuchs and will not be polite to you." Cao Cao reminded Huo Hai.
"Oh, I seem to see something." Huo Hai smiled.
Although Cao Cao told him that there were so many people here that he was not easy to talk about, he said everything he should say.
The three major forces of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs, relatives, court officials, and the so-called representatives of court officials were those party members who wanted the literati and officials to take power and rule the world.
He mentioned the eunuchs and the relatives of the foreigners, but he did not mention the party members' attitude towards him. It seems that these guys wanted to sit idly by and watch the eunuchs fight against the foreigners and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
After all, Cao Cao, the eunuch, actually had a tendency towards party members.
In Huo Hai's impression, General He Jin was actually a pig-killing fool, and no capable person under his subordinates could do anything to him.
Oh, Yuan Shao is one. His current official position is the General of the Five-Secret General, a regular visitor to He Jin's mansion, and a chess piece placed by the party members in the team of foreign relatives. This guy has strong generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Qu Yi, and Han Meng, but it is difficult to deal with when using martial arts.
