Zhang Guang and the three were greeted by hundreds of Jingzhou troops with white turbans on their heads, and in the center was a young general, who was not tall, at most seven feet, that is, about one meter sixty-nine, and was powerful and strong.

Zhang Guang frowned and tied a white turban, which meant that there was a general in the army who had just died.

"It's General Huo Jun, right? Zhang Guang, the master of the Han Dynasty, came to meet. Zhang Guang estimated his age, and the young general in front of him should be his younger brother Huo Jun.

"You are Zhang Guang? Aren't you trying to attack Jingzhou? What are you doing in my barracks? What about the people I have placed on the periphery? ”

"General Huo Jun don't worry, they are staying away and sleeping for a while, Jingzhou, in the past few years, I will definitely not attack, I will ask you if you wear white headscarves, has there been any change in the army?"

"You go, I don't want to see you!" Huo Jun turned around and entered the tent, and Zhang Guang's eyes were fixed on a white cloth covering the ground in the tent.

"Since you're here, why can you just go? Anyway, you have to pay homage to the general in the tent first. ”

Zhang Guang gave full play to his thick-skinned characteristics, followed Huo Jun into the tent, said that it was a sacrifice, and the soldiers outside the tent were not too obstructive, Zhang Guang asked Tai Shici and Xu Shu to wait outside, and entered the camp alone.

"Is it General Huo Du? How so? ”

"Thanks to you, you Hanzhong heavy soldiers on the border, my brother is not at ease, during this time he led the soldiers to patrol around day and night, the new and old sick came together, if you have the heart, bow down, let's go."

Zhang Guang took a few steps forward, bowed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once said, 'Men should die in the border field, and bury their ears with horse leather shrouds', but General Huo Du learned horse aid today, but it's a pity." ”

What do you mean by that? Our two brothers are stationed here for the sake of the lord and died on the battlefield, what is the pity? Huo Jun had an angry look on his face, Brother Lao Tzu is dead, what are you still talking about here?

"Haha, died on the battlefield, is this also considered a battlefield of death?"

"You ......" Huo Jun drew his sword and was about to make a move.

"General Huo Jun is slow, I'm not making fun of the two Huo generals for leading the troops, but I want to say that you are such a loyal lord, you can't take it seriously."

Zhang Guang saw that Huo Jun pressed the long sword and stood in place without speaking, so he continued: "Your report for help should have been sent back to Jingzhou for many days, right?" Even I came here, but Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived alone? ”

"To tell you the truth, Liu Biao asked Cai Mao to lead the army to help, but after Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai discussed, they decided to abandon you and stay in Deng County to protect their Cai family's ancestral business."

"Damn!" Huo Jun was furious, picked up a chair and fell out of the tent.

"It's okay, your General Huo Jun is too full of food, so he's playing."

When the commotion outside the tent calmed down, Zhang Guang began to persuade Huo Jun: "Jingzhou is now in chaos in the harem, and the heirs of Liu Biao's two sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong are fighting, can such Jingzhou be stable for a long time?" ”

"What does Master Zhang mean by saying so much?"

"I came this time, either to play, or to run for your two brothers, but I didn't expect General Huo Du to pass away, General Huo Jun, follow me into the customs, your brother, our Ninth Army will definitely be buried with the courtesy of the founding general."

"You want to be the emperor?"

"I never thought that I just wanted the people under my rule to live and work in peace and contentment, this time I came to Jingzhou, Jiangdong Tai Shici and Mr. Shui Jing's student Xu Shu are willing to follow me into the customs, if General Huo Jun is also willing to go, it will definitely become a great story for the Ninth Army."

"General, we are willing to enter the customs."

The soldiers who were originally outside the camp tent, who were close, opened the curtain and broke in, and the black pressure knelt on the ground.

"General, since we were attached to Liu Biao, we have never been reused, and this time when the border military situation is so urgent, he did not send a single soldier to reinforce us, which shows that he has never taken us seriously."

"That's right, General, we're willing to follow you into the customs."

Huo Jun looked at the subordinates who were kneeling in the black press, and then looked at Tai Shici and Xu Shu who were standing on the side.

"Alas, even General Tai Shici and Xu Shu in the Weizhen Pass are willing to follow you, what else do I have to think about, Huo Jun to meet the lord."

"Meet the Lord!"

The sound shook the four fields, Zhang Guang turned around and worshiped Huo Du again, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, take good care of General Huo Du's body, and there will be a grand burial after Guanzhong." ”

"No, my brother said that if you are born in Jingzhou, you will also die in Jingzhou, come, prepare firewood, burn it, let him rest here in peace, and see how we fight back to Jingzhou in the future."

"Okay, since that's the case, I promise you that within ten years, we will definitely be able to enter Jingzhou."

Huo Jun asked those soldiers who remembered their parents at home and had no intention of entering the customs to take the money home, and followed Zhang Guang with a team of less than 600 people.

When Zhang Guang and others returned to Hanzhong, Pang Tong, Wei Zhen, Zhao Zilong and others had already returned to Guanzhong with the team.

Hanzhong guarded Qin Mi and guarded the big sword cow waiting for Zhang Guang outside Fangling City.

After a brief explanation with Dadaoniu, he did not delay much in Fangling, and rushed to Nanzheng, the Hanzhong Governance Office, on the same day.

Along the road, wasteland is in full swing, roads are being built, and military bases are being built in secret places.

"My lord, it seems that we are now strong and strong, and the people are stable, why don't we take the opportunity to go south and occupy the entire Yizhou?" Tai Shi Ci endured it for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't hold back.

Along the way, he didn't need anyone else, only nearly 20,000 people under Dadao Niu, plus his own thousands of Danyang soldiers, Tai Shici was confident that he would capture the entire Hanzhong.

"Tai Shici, there is one thing, you have to remember, slow down the king, accumulate grain, such as today's chaos, all the princes contain each other, if we show too strong, we will be attacked by a group." Zhang Guang patiently explained.

"General Taishi, the lord now wants to make the two Hanzhong and Guanzhong into holy places for the people of the world, do you see the school on the road? That should be the place where we can train talents for the Ninth Legion, and once these talents can be put into the Ninth Legion, it will be the time for us to conquer the entire land of Kyushu. Xu Shu said slowly in the back.

Or Xu Shu has a strategic vision.

Zhang Guang didn't expect that Xu Shu only saw through his own words and his own observations along the way.

"Another point is that many of our commanders are still very young."

"Pang Tong is only seventeen years old."

"Wei Zhen, twenty-one years old."

"Qin Mi, nineteen years old."

"It's you Xu Shu, and you're only nineteen years old."

"In the Ninth Legion, Tai Shici, you are a veteran."

"A lot of our commanders need time to grow."

"The next few years will be our incubation period, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the south must not be touched."

"Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao in the east are even more unable to move."

"Our goal is in the north and west, and talents such as Ma Teng and Guo Yan are our goals."

"With small battles that continue to expand to the north and west, let our men grow with minimal casualties."

Zhang Guang still looked at Xu Shu very much, and along the way, he sorted out his strategic ideas of occupying Hanzhong and Guanzhong in detail.
