The 34th Chapter: The Golden Haired Lion King?

  The 34th Golden Lion King?

  If it's really like this, Zhang Kuang's position as captain is somewhat unstable.

  Although people like Wang Guo, Yu Jin, Dian Wei and Shen Fu were all promoted by him, they should not easily abandon Zhang Kuang. However, don't forget that the main body of the Tianping Army is actually the two thousand defeated soldiers who escaped from the Changsha Great Fire!

  Relying on "Bo Cai Shuai" 's prestige in the Yellow Turban Army, although both are a "square" "qu shuai", but with Zhang Kuang's weight, in front of this "big shuai", he can only be considered a "small shuai". It would probably take just one sentence for "Bo Cai Da Shuai" to seize his military power.

  "Who comes?"

  Now, Zhang Kuang could only grit his teeth and bear it. Fortunately, at this time, the leadership of various Yellow Turban armies had not yet become chaotic, and they would not be like those "Yellow Bandits" in the future who often set fires and fought among themselves. As a local "Qu-shuai", relying on the merit of recruiting these troops, Zhang Kuang might be promoted to "Vice-Shuai" and command a few hundred people in his own department.

  "Some people call him 'Boss of the Waves'..."

  A mad heart, lifted to the throat.

  "...subordinate of... , serving as a son of the great general..."

  Zhang Kuang let out a sigh of relief: So it wasn't "Bo Cai" after all...

  "Open the city gate quickly!"

  Zhang Kuang was distracted for a moment and missed a large part of what was said, only hearing the last sentence. He glanced at Zhou Cang, who spoke in a low voice:

  "That one down there must be the son of 'Bocai Shuai' without a doubt. He looks like... we've also heard about the appearance of 'Bocai Shuai' before..."

  Zhang Kuang searched his memory once again, and suddenly a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner's image popped up in his mind. He carefully distinguished the Yellow Turbans below the city wall, and found that the one surrounded by Pei Yuanshao and others was indeed a young boy with golden hair. In his memory, apart from Bo Cai and his son, there were no other Taiping Dao people who had such Caucasian features.

  Such a freaky appearance, really matches the saying "Yellow Sky Messenger"......

  Due to his close relationship with Zhang Jue, Zhang Kuang had a good understanding of some anecdotes in the "Taiping Dao". This "General Bo" was originally said to be the overlord of the northern grasslands - a "big man" of the Xianbei tribe. Because he offended the "Xianbei Great King" Tan Shi Kai when he was young, he was forced to flee to the territory of the great Han.

  In order to integrate into the life of the Han people, this "big man" from the Xianbei tribe actively joined the "Taiping Dao", and because he was skilled in military affairs, he was sent to Yingchuan to command the Yellow Turban Army's battles.

  The son of "Bocai Shuai" has arrived, but "Bocai Shuai" himself hasn't arrived, could it be that...

  Zhang Kuang came back to his senses and nodded at the "Fifty Heads" in charge of the city gate. The city gate slowly opened, and a line of Yellow Turban soldiers, although exhausted, still marched in an orderly manner, one by one, through the gap in the city gate.

  People at this age are used to "getting up with the sun and resting with the sun". The Yellow Turbans, who were originally mostly of civilian origin, also basically follow this rule. Now it's already the second watch [between 9pm and 11pm], and many soldiers of the Heavenly Army who didn't have night duty had fallen asleep. However, the arrival of these uninvited guests would wake up many sleeping Heavenly Army warriors.

  Zhang Kuang arrived at the county government office, leading his main generals, and formally met with the visitors. Although there were only over 200 people in the visitor's group, there were quite a few notable figures among them.

  The son of "Bo Cai Shuai", although still young, looks dignified and majestic. Zhang Kuang had heard that when he was serving under "Great Virtuous Teacher" Zhang Jiao, "Bo Cai Shuai" married a Han woman and their son took his mother's Han surname.

  However, judging by his appearance, this young man mainly inherited the genes from his father's side. With a height of over 8 feet 5 inches, paired with his thick golden hair, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but think of a resounding title.

  Golden Lion King

  Attending to this "Golden Lion King" were two Yellow Turban Army generals, who were also brothers. The elder brother was named He Yi, the younger brother was named He Man, both of whom were famous brave generals under the command of "General Bo Cai".

  In addition, there were more than a dozen "sacrificial wine" from the Taiping Taoist sect, all of whom were Confucian scholars from humble backgrounds and belonged to the spiritual leaders of the Yellow Turbans. The leader was "Tai Daishi", who also inherited the medical skills of "Daxian Liangshi" Zhang Jiao, and had a great influence on the people in the area of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, attracting a large number of civilians to join the Yellow Turbans.

  Even Zhang Kuang's subordinates had many people who had received the kindness of "Tai Da Shi". When the news of "Tai Da Shi"'s arrival was spread by the sharp-eyed soldiers of the Tianping Army, there were hardly a few people in the Tianping Army camp who could still sleep.

  Fortunately, Zhang Kuang saw that the situation was not good and hastily ordered Wang Guo and Yu Jin to lead their troops to supervise military discipline. In this way, the entire camp finally restored its superficial calmness. However, the whispers in the camp never completely disappeared. Even the soldiers who had been beaten with rods did not dare to fall asleep again.

  As for that "Golden Lion King", although he looks different from the Han people, as soon as he opens his mouth, it's a genuine and authentic Mandarin dialect:

  "My surname is Xie, first name is Xun, and courtesy name is Tuosi. I have met General Zhang!"

  At this moment, Zhang Kuang was like being struck by lightning, his eyes wide with shock and his tongue tied, saying something unbelievable:

  "Golden... Golden Lion King Xie Xun...?"

  Xie Xun raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

  "Zhang Dashuai... Don't tell me you know me? Golden Lion King? Good name..."

  Zhang Kuang's brain was a bit confused.

  Wait, did I really cross over into that world? But no, it can't be right, the words clearly said it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty...

  "My lord!"

  Dian Wei called out softly in Zhang Fei's ear, finally managing to wake him up. He hastily invited the distant guest to take a seat and fill his empty stomach.

  As the Tianping Army had just finished fighting with the Han army, they were rewarding the three armies, so among the food brought up, there was no shortage of meat dishes, and these Yellow Turbans who had been running wildly for several days ate with great relish. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Cang quietly pulled Pei Yuanshao to Zhang Kuang's side, who had slipped into the back hall under the pretext of "changing clothes", and began to probe into the depths of this Yellow Turban Army.

  What is referred to as "changing clothes" doesn't actually mean "changing clothes", but rather a euphemistic way of saying "going to the toilet". It's roughly equivalent to what later generations would say as "taking care of business".

  Pei Yuanshao was also a meticulous person, although he was tempted by the delicious food and his stomach growled with hunger, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity for him to take a stand, so he didn't decline and simply introduced the situation of these people.

  Originally, nearly 100,000 Yellow Turbans under "Bo Cai Shuai" dispersed in all directions after the great fire at Changshe and were defeated so badly that they could not be rallied.

  "Bo Cai's" troops were barely able to regroup, gathering a remnant force of six or seven thousand men, and headed north to join another Yellow Turban general, "Bu Zhi". However, a Han cavalry unit was like a festering wound, closely pursuing Bo Cai's forces without letting up.

  "Although the Han army commander was cunning and had set up multiple traps, he managed to resolve each one. Even when he accidentally fell into an ambush, he quickly launched a counterattack and retreated calmly."

  Both sides fought for more than ten days, and the Yellow Turbans, who were at a disadvantage, gradually decreased in number. Finally, on the banks of a small river, the Han army launched a strong attack on the exhausted Yellow Turbans. It was in this battle that "Bo Cai Shuai", considered the "God of War" by the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan, was seriously injured under the Han army's impact!

  "Who is the commander of the Han army?"

  Having heard this, Zhang Kuang eagerly asked questions. From the mouths of those former "Po Cai Shuai" soldiers who had been defeated by the Longshe, Zhang Kuang learned about the commanding ability of this Xianbei-born Yellow Turban general, which was far inferior to his own.

  But such a powerful commander, was actually being chased by a Han army cavalry, with no way to go up to heaven and no gate to enter the earth. The commanding power of the leader of the opposing Han army was already strong enough to make Zhang Kuang's heart fearful.

  "Seems like it's called... Cao Cao?"

  As expected, Pei Yuanshao said a name that was within Zhang Kuang's expectations. At this moment, Zhang Kuang's heart couldn't help but violently jump once.

  Character: Xie Xun

  Jin Yong's work, the author's favorite. Among them, the supporting role I love most is Xie Xun. The description of his life experience here, if there are some flaws, this is just a personal obsession in my heart, let it be broken.

  Characters - He Yi, He Man, Pei Yuanshao.

  These three are all among the Yellow Turban Army's entourage. Since they want to mix in with the Yellow Turban Army, it's natural that they'll run into a large number of Yellow Turban Army characters. No need to say more, just gathering numbers is good too.
