Becoming a father in the film and television industry: starting with Xu Huanshan

After returning to Bingzhou, Xu Wenhao openly ordered his generals to start expanding the army. On the surface, there were 3 troops, of which the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was expanded to 8000, the infantry was 1, and the rest were archers and other auxiliary arms.

But in fact, he planned to expand the cavalry to 2, the infantry to 5, and the rest of the wartime auxiliary arms reserve to 3 able-bodied men.

No one could have imagined that Xu Wenhao could gather so many cavalrymen. Plus, he also had a garrison outside the Great Wall, so he was not worried about being discovered.

He also tried his best to recruit talents, among which Zhao Zilong from Changshan County was naturally the focus of Xu Wenhao's attention.

However, Zhao Zilong's personality is somewhat inconsistent with what Xu Wenhao is going to do next, so he needs to think of a solution.

If they really leave, it cannot have any impact, so we need to find a few more people.

Zhang He, courtesy name Junyi, was from Zhuo County, Hejian Prefecture, Jizhou.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Zhang He volunteered to join the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and later became a military commander under Han Fu. It was not until the second year of Chuping (191 AD) that Zhang He led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shao after Han Fu gave up Jizhou.

Naturally, Xu Wenhao couldn't let Zhang He delay for so long, so he wrote two letters and gave them to Han Fu and Zhang He respectively.

Han Fu wrote in the letter that he would use the next chance to save his life in exchange for Zhang He. After all, Han Fu himself was not strong, and he was fighting against the Yellow Turban rebels in Yizhou.

With the support of General Flying, Han Fu can also achieve great things!

As for Zhang He, it was simple. Xu Wenhao had a good reputation, and the promises and attention he made in order to recruit him made Zhang He feel proud.

So, with Han Fu's help, Zhang He also came to Bingzhou and was appointed as a general with an army of 1 soldiers.

In his early years, Xu Huang followed Yang Feng in battle and persuaded Yang Feng to escort Emperor Xian of Han back to Luoyang, for which he was granted the title of Marquis of Duting.

Later he surrendered to Cao Cao and participated in major battles such as the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Guandu, the attack on Jizhou, the Battle of Bailang Mountain, the Battle of Nanjun, the Battle of Weinan, the Battle of Liangzhou, and the Battle of Hanzhong, and made great contributions.

In the Battle of Fancheng, Xu Huang led his army to repel Guan Yu, then launched a pursuit and kill Guan Yu, and took the opportunity to break through Guan Yu's ten layers of siege, completely lifting the siege of Fancheng.

Because of his strict military discipline, Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, praised him as having the style of Zhou Yafu. After the establishment of Cao Wei, Xu Huang was promoted to the rank of Right General.

Xu Huang was actually found by Xu Wenhao in Liangzhou. The main reason was that Yang Feng was not famous now, let alone Xu Huang.

But he was not an unknown person. When he heard that the Flying General of Bingzhou wanted to recruit him, he rushed over immediately.

Cheng Yu, whose courtesy name was Zhongde, once led officials and civilians in Dong'a to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

In the third year of Chuping (192), Cheng Yu was conscripted by Cao Cao into the Shouzhang Order.

When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu stayed in the rear, blocked Lu Bu and Chen Gong's army, and saved the three cities. They were named Dongping Prime Minister for their merits.

When Liu Bei submitted to Cao Cao, Cheng Yu advised Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei, but Cao Cao refused.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), Cheng Yu gathered thousands of elite soldiers in Liyang to attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Cheng Yu used the method of crossing the river in the north to defeat the Gaofan, and the waterway was opened. He defeated the two Yuan Dynasties, and was worshiped as General Fenwu and granted the title of Marquis of Anguo Ting.

Well, Cheng Yu is actually an underestimated figure in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Apart from a certain behavior that was tainted, he is still very reliable in the position of military advisor.

In fact, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he did not take Yizhou and Youzhou, and even failed in his personal expedition. It was Cheng Yu who took down the two Yuans.

He is now in the east, where the Yellow Turban bandits are causing trouble, so he had no choice but to step forward.

Fortunately, Xu Wenhao instructed Gao Shun to lead the Xianzhen Camp to rescue Cheng Yu, and finally rescued Cheng Yu and brought his family back.

Xu Wenhao's actions were nothing in the eyes of outsiders. He was short of men, and it was normal for a fifth-rank general to recruit a few young generals. These people were not even famous during the previous period of competition among heroes, so naturally no one took them seriously.

It took Xu Wenhao half a year to deal with these civil and military officials, and during this period he did not pay much attention to the Yellow Turban bandits.

Just when Xu Wenhao was about to take a rest, a piece of news reached his ears.

That is, the entire Zhen family, the richest family in Youzhou, moved to Jinyang, which was under his control, and sent people to visit Xu Wenhao.

That’s right, it’s the hometown of Zhen Ji, the famous goddess of Luo River in the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhen Yi, a native of Wuji, Zhongshan, was a descendant of Zhen Han, the Grand Tutor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There were 3 sons and 5 daughters in his family. Among them, Zhen Jiang's good reputation for being both virtuous and talented spread in Wuji County, Zhongshan County.

Zhen Jiang initially married Yuan Xi and became Yuan Xi's wife. Later, she was favored by Cao Pi. In fact, the financial strength of the Zhen family should have been among the top three or even the first in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise they would not have been won over by various families.

After the Youzhou incident, Zhen Yi moved his family to Bingzhou, mainly to avoid the war and seek refuge from Xu Wenhao.

If he came to Bingzhou, he would naturally want to pay a proper visit to the Flying General Xu Wenhao, so he sent someone to invite him to his home.

"Tell your master that I will be there in the evening."

Xu Wenhao also nodded, showing no intention of refusing.

Zhen Mi is only one year old now, but Zhen Jiang is of marriageable age, so the meaning of this invitation is very clear.

In ancient times, noble families consolidated their family status through such marriages, and could also rely on marriage relationships to develop their industries, killing two birds with one stone.

In the evening, Xu Wenhao also came to the Zhen family in a carriage, and Zhen Yi naturally brought all the family members to greet him at the door.

Although he had just arrived in Bingzhou, he quickly bought a large house, and it was even under the name of Xu Wenhao.

Well, after those noble families ran away, he instructed Cheng Yu to take back all the properties and slowly sell them in exchange for military pay.

Those noble families who had objections did not dare to really offend a powerful general like him, so they could only make a harsh remark or say something that they didn't want any money and then let the matter go.

"General Lu, I have long heard of your great name, and now I finally meet you."

Zhen Yi also spoke politely to Xu Wenhao.

"Well, Mr. Zhen, you are too polite. I am just a small military commander."

Xu Wenhao also responded, after all, he was his future father-in-law.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have brought anything with him.

Among the girls in the Zhen family, only Zhen Jiang is the oldest. The other girls gathered together to discuss Xu Wenhao.

Everyone thought that this famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty should be a burly man, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome.

Zhen Jiang thought of what her father Zhen Yi had told her in advance, and began to observe Xu Wenhao carefully. As a result, she looked at Xu Wenhao.

After everyone entered the Zhen family, the servants immediately started serving the dishes.

The dinner party looked nice, but that was just the way it was.

Xu Wenhao had also been dealing with Zhen Yi, just waiting for him to speak.

Sure enough, when Zhen Yi saw Xu Wenhao’s impatient look, he also expressed his thoughts.

"I wonder what General Lu thinks of my daughter Zhen Jiang?"

Zhen Yi also asked directly.

As for Zhen Jiang, he also looked at Xu Wenhao with curiosity.
