Zhang Yan had a beautiful meal at Xu Huang's place, and then stayed to rest for the night, Xu Huang arranged a tent for Zhang Yan and sent all the best things here.

But the place here is simple, even if it is the best thing, it still looks so simple, Xu Huang embarrassedly took Zhang Yan to the guest room, and after taking a look at the furnishings here, he said to Zhang Yan: "Your Highness, these are already the best things here, if Your Highness is not satisfied, I will send someone to send His Highness to Junshan Water Village, they should be a little better than me here......"

Zhang Yan said: "No need, I think it's very good here, besides, I'm not as squeamish as you think." Let's stay here for the night tonight, you go and explain it in a while, hand over everything here to your subordinates, and tomorrow morning, go to Junshan Shui Village with me, and then prepare to go with me! ”

When Xu Huang heard the word "expedition", he suddenly became nervous and a little excited, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, you mean, go on the expedition?" ”

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, where are we going this time?" Xu Huang looked gearing up, and there was already inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Why did I send you all here?" ”

Xu Huang immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Yan's words, and said to Zhang Yan: "What does Your Highness mean that we are going to attack Changsha tomorrow?" ”

"Well, according to the distance calculation, Sima Yi and the others should arrive here tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will be in full swing. Capture Changsha. Thus occupying the entire four counties of Jingnan. Give Sun Quan a dismount! Zhang Yan said.

Xu Huang said: "I heard that Guan Yu is a 10,000-strong enemy, I thought I would meet him, this time I go to Changsha, I must personally compete with him!" ”

Zhang Yan just smiled, looked at Xu Huang's high morale, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Rest early, don't be too excited." I can't get up tomorrow. ”

After Xu Huang said goodbye to Zhang Yan, he immediately gathered his subordinates, and then handed over all the affairs here to a few of his subordinates to manage, and prepared to leave here tomorrow and go to attack Changsha with Zhang Yan.

However, Xu Huang's subordinates were also inexplicably excited, and after hearing that there was going to be a war, they all said that they wanted to go with Xu Huang. But Xu Huang couldn't figure out why Zhang Yan didn't use his elite troops in a good manner, but instead used those Jingzhou troops who surrendered.

Let's be honest. Xu Huang was not very optimistic about the Jingzhou army, although he was in Yueyang. It is only a lake away from Junshan Water Village, but Xu Huang has never had any contact with the Jingzhou Army in Junshan Water Village, but Yang Xiu once came ashore to find him once, but he has no friendship with Yang Xiu, and he can't say anything, plus he has a lot of work to do in the construction of Yueyang City, so it is inevitable that there will be some incompleteness in etiquette. Since then, Yang Xiu has never been here.

However, it was Zhang Yan's decision to use the Jingzhou army to deal with Guan Yu, and Xu Huang's subordinates didn't need it, and they all continued to build the city here, except for Xu Huang alone.

Therefore, about this matter, Xu Huang couldn't do anything, so he had to try his best to calm the emotions of his subordinates.

After Xu Huang explained everything, he went to rest. Early the next morning, Xu Huang got up early, he didn't sleep much last night, probably because he was too excited.

After all, Xu Huang has been very boring in the past two years, when he was guarding the frontier, training and patrolling every day, but he has never encountered an enemy. Since the Xianbei people were forced to move westward, the defense area he was stationed in had been equivalent to fictitious, but more prevention came from within, those Huns who had been attached to the Han Dynasty.

Although the Xiongnu were attached to the Han Dynasty, there were often some frictions, after all, the living habits were different, so when dealing with these problems, they would become more sensitive, which could not stimulate the contradictions between the two ethnic groups, but also solve the problems, which was indeed not easy for Xu Huang.

Xu Huang is a military general after all, but there is no battle, he becomes irritable, and he is very eager to fight, in order to kill those lonely time, Xu Huang and Tai Shici each opened a team on the grassland, and conducted simulated battle training, so as not to be bored and suffocated.

This time, Zhang Yan transferred Xu Huang and Tai Shici back at the same time, not to mention how happy the two of them were, because this also means that he has a battle to fight.

But they guessed the beginning, but not the end, Zhang Yan transferred them back, the main purpose was not to fight, but to defend, to use their reputation to give the enemy a deterrent effect. However, the Jingzhou army was used as the main force to attack the enemy.

This point made both of them very puzzling.

But Zhang Yan did this, there must be a reason for him to do this!

After Xu Huang got up, he dressed neatly, and then went to ask Zhang Yan to get up, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yan got up earlier than him and had already ridden around outside and came back.

When Zhang Yan saw Xu Huang, he called Xu Huang, and then took a boat and went straight to Junshan Water Village.

In the early morning, Junshan Shan Zhai was still immersed in a misty morning mist, because there was fog in the lake, the line of sight was not very good, so when the boats patrolling in the lake saw a boat slowly approaching, they immediately made a warning and asked it to stop and be checked.

When the two ships met, Zhang Yan walked out of the cabin with Xu Huang, and the patrolling ship was immediately dumbfounded when they saw Zhang Yan, it turned out to be Zhang Yan, the king of Yan.

Zhang Yan knew the young general on the patrol boat, because it was this person he bumped into when he was on the fishing boat yesterday.

King Yan came, and the patrol boat naturally had no reason to block it, so he unconditionally gave way to the road, and sent a boat to lead the way in front, and took Zhang Yan and Xu Huang to the water village.

Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, Li Tong and others are actively preparing the materials needed for the battle in the water village, shortly after Zhang Yan left yesterday, the scout brought the order, and after the four of them got the order, they made some preparations overnight, and everything was ready this morning, just waiting for the arrival of King Yan.

However, none of the four people thought that His Royal Highness King Yan would come so early, the morning fog had not yet dispersed, and the news of His Royal Highness King Yan's arrival in Linshui Village had already reached the ears of the four people.

So, the four of them had to put down all the work in their hands and hand it over to their subordinates to handle, and they hurried from all over the water village to the big village.

Zhang Yan and Xu Huang had just arrived at the meeting hall in Shuizhai, and Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Li Tong walked in from outside the door, and Zhang Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, the news of his arrival spread too quickly.

Today's Zhang Yan is a little different from yesterday's, yesterday Zhang Yan was wearing a strong suit, very casually, while today's Zhang Yan is wearing a suit of armor, wearing a gilded helmet on his head, and a gold-plated battle armor on his body. In addition to Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, who was standing beside him, was also fully armed, like a general who was about to go into battle to kill the enemy. Well, in other words, Xu Huang was originally a general, but he didn't interact with the generals of the Jingzhou Army, and he hadn't met him, except for Yang Xiu, no one knew him.

"See His Royal Highness King Yan!" Huang Zhong, Yang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Li Tong bowed in unison.

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”

He had already noticed the eyes of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Li Tong, and when he saw that they were staring at Xu Huang, he introduced: "This is General Zuo Xu Huang, you all know each other!" ”

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Li Tong looked at each other first, and there was a tacit exchange in their eyes, as if to say, it turned out that he was Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was once one of the Five Tiger Generals under Zhang Yan's account, and being able to rank among the Five Tiger Generals shows that his ability is not ordinary.

Moreover, the five tiger generals under Zhang Yan's account were famous all over the world, and they were the objects that many people who practiced martial arts yearned for, so the rumors of the five tiger generals were also widely circulated.

However, since Zhang Yan's reform, Zhang Yan abolished the title of Five Tiger Generals, and appointed a formal general position in the imperial court, with Xu Huang as the left general, hanging the rank of general. In the current imperial court, in addition to Xu Huang, there are six people with the rank of general, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Zhang He, which means that these seven of them are the people with the highest military rank in the entire imperial court.

Although the military rank is not an official position, it is an honor and a symbol of commendation, and the level of the military rank also determines the merit of your person.

After Zhang Yan implemented the military rank system, it can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages, from the beginning of everyone's incomprehension of the military rank system, not cooperated, to gladly accept, there is always a process of adaptation, and this process of adaptation is undoubtedly a test for the Han Dynasty, which has just created a new system. Because to this day, there are still many people who are confused about what the military rank is. Some even mistakenly think that the military rank is a knighthood.

However, there is always an adaptation period, Zhang Yan did not take this to heart, but continued to implement the military rank system, using the military rank system to slowly make up for the serious consequences caused by too many rewards. He believes that in the near future, everyone will gradually become familiar with the military rank system.

The military rank system, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Li Tong and others are still in a state of confusion, because after Zhang Yan surrendered them, the military rank given is not high, except for Huang Zhong who is the rank of major general, Wei Yan, Li Tong, and Wen Ping are all colonels, but if they are subdivided, there is still a level difference between major generals and generals.

"The last general has seen General Zuo!" Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Li Tong said in unison.

Xu Huang also returned the salute and said, "Everyone is a minister in the same hall, and they are all people in the army, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Since you all already know each other, then stop staring at each other." Huang Dudu, you should have received the order given by this king, right? (To be continued......)
