"That's exactly right! "
Niu Feng loudly agreed.
He had put a lot of effort into organizing the White Wave Yellow Turbans to drive away Niu Fu and supply grain and fodder to the army.
Among the common people outside the camp at this time, many had come from Pingyang.
Niu Feng was born a commoner and deeply understood the hardships of the people.
Most of the Pingyang people were also White Wave Yellow Turbans.
Combining these two factors, he felt very close to the people of Pingyang.
The people of Pingyang also greatly respected him, their county magistrate, who had come from the Yellow Turbans.
But these people, due to Yuan Shao, had no choice but to migrate with the army over a thousand miles...
Yuan Shao deserves to die!
After agreeing with Zhang Xin's idea, Niu Feng chuckled and rubbed his hands.
"Lord, what about this time…? "
"You wish."
Zhang Xin rolled his eyes, "You stay here and assist Courtesy name of Wang Meng in organizing the people's evacuation."
"Not taking me to play again."
Niu Feng muttered softly.
"What the hell are you mumbling about? " Zhang Xin looked at him.
"I said, Lord, you are brilliant! " Niu Feng said quickly.
Zhang Xin gave him a look that said, 'Consider yourself sensible.'
"Lord."
Wang Meng heard Zhang Xin's words and quickly asked, "You're not taking me? "
Zhang Xin said, "If you come with me, who will coordinate these people? "
Wang Meng pointed at Niu Feng, "Lord Niu has been a county magistrate for a long time and is well-versed in this."
"What about the army then? "
Zhang Xin retorted, "Can Niu Feng lead troops? Aren't you afraid he'll lead you all the way to Chang'an? "
Zuo Bao burst out laughing at the remark.
Niu Feng's face fell.
Oh, Lord, it's fine for us to talk about these things among ourselves behind closed doors, but Han Hao, an outsider, is still here. Don't I need to save face?
But Han Hao, that fellow, was still clueless and asked curiously, "Lord, wasn't Lord Niu your personal guard before? How could he possibly go and surrender to Dong? "
"Hahahahaha…"
Dian Wei couldn't hold back and clapped his hands, roaring with laughter.
Zuo Bao and Wang Meng also started laughing.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was very cheerful.
Han Hao looked utterly bewildered.
Is my question that funny?
Zhang Xin, with a smile, recounted Niu Feng's glorious past deeds.
"Lord! "
Niu Feng's face was beet red, and he stomped his feet frantically.
"From now on, every time you ask to fight, I'll tell it again."
Zhang Xin put away his smile and said seriously, "Until you no longer want to go to the battlefield."
"Understood."
Niu Feng grumbled, "I won't mention fighting again…"
"That's more like it."
Zhang Xin stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "It is important for a person to know himself. You truly have no talent in military affairs. Even if you follow me into battle, how much merit can you achieve? "
"On the contrary, you have quite a talent in internal affairs. Not only have you managed Pingyang well, but there have been no problems with supplying the army with grain and fodder during this period."
"Merit is not only found on the battlefield. If you manage internal affairs well, don't you also earn merit? Why must you abandon your strengths and use your weaknesses? "
"In ancient times, when Emperor Gaozu of Han pacified the realm, why was the greatest merit given to Xiao He, who had never been on the battlefield? Think about it yourself."
Niu Feng pondered carefully, then bowed to Zhang Xin.
"Thank you for your Lord's guidance."
Han Hao looked at the scene and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Zhang Xin's words seemed to be an insult to Niu Feng, but in reality, they were full of care. Only those who were close would speak in such a way.
At the same time, Han Hao also felt a little happy.
The Lord even spoke such words and the words about attacking Nangpi just now in front of me. This means he doesn't treat me as an outsider!
After the jokes, Zhang Xin began to speak of serious matters.
"Wang Meng, Niu Feng, Han Hao."
"General is here." The three clasped their fists.
"Wang Meng."
Zhang Xin looked at him, "I appoint you as the main General, responsible for this troop withdrawal."
"Understood."
A hint of excitement was in Wang Meng's eyes.
"Niu Feng, Han Hao."
Zhang Xin looked at the two, "You two will be deputy Generals, assisting Wang Meng."
"Understood."
The two responded.
Zhang Xin nodded.
This was a great opportunity to train Wang Meng.
The Xiliang Soldiers and Luoyang Soldiers had all been dispatched by him, so at this time, only the White Wave Yellow Turbans remained in Jiangyi.
Wang Meng had long assisted Niu Feng in governing the county, and these White Wave Yellow Turbans were very familiar with him. With him as the main General, the White Wave Yellow Turbans would have no objections.
Niu Feng knew Wang Meng's position in Zhang Xin's heart, and his relationship with Wang Meng was very good, so he would also havdered.
Xu He mounted his warhorse and found Guan Hai and Sima Ju, who were supervising the soldiers setting up camp.
