Far away in Liangzhou, Sun Jian, who was recruiting soldiers and preparing to practice, suddenly received an order from the temple, and there were two orders, the first one was the news about the death of Dong Gong, and the second was a recall order for him, the Son of Heaven wanted to worship him as a captain, Sun Jian sat in the tent, and there were two letters on the case, his face was complicated, and it was really indescribable.

The news of Dong Gong's death, he should feel sad, this is a conscientious general, although his temper is violent, but he treats his subordinates very well, and can bear the guilt for his subordinates, since Duan Cheng's death, Sun Jian has never met such a commander again, and now, he has passed away like this, Sun Jian can only shake his head regretfully, and the position of Tai Lieutenant....

If Sun Jian doesn't want to be a prince, it's false, in the world, what fool is not willing to be the third prince?

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that there was another Jia Gong, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue.

Sun Jian really wanted to serve as a lieutenant, but he couldn't be happy, as if he had taken away this position from Dong Gong, after thinking for a long time, he still sighed, he could only go to worship Dong Gong after arriving in Luoyang, he didn't have long before everything in the general was handed over to Sun Ce, and he went to Luoyang alone.

After the tempering of this battle, Sun Ce has also grown a lot, and now, without relying on his background, he can also convince many soldiers.

.....

And at this time, Hua Xiong came to the front of Yuan's mansion, and when he walked here, he was a little confused, what was the situation around here, the houses on the left side of Yuan's mansion had disappeared, and here, another mansion appeared, or it was written that Yuan's mansion was written, and it was not even smaller than Yuan Shu's mansion.

Hua Xiong thought in his heart, the captain's action is really fast, this financial strength is also strong, his son is not too old, so he built such a big mansion, while thinking, he knocked on the door of the Yuan Mansion.

The door was slowly opened, and a strange slave walked out of it, this person opened the door, saw Hua Xiong outside the house, was stunned, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what you command?" ”

"There are no orders..."Hua Xiong said, and was about to go in, but the servant stretched out his hand, hurriedly stopped him, and asked a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what is the matter with you coming here?" ”

"I want to see the captain."

"Captain?"

"My school captain, Yuan Shu."

Hua Xiong said, and the servant nodded and said, "Please allow me to go and tell you, I don't know your name?" ”

"My name is Huaxiong."

"Okay, Huajun, please wait for a while, I'll go and tell you!"

The servant went to the study, and through the door, said, "Master of the house, there is a request for a meeting called Hua Xiong. As soon as the servant finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened, Yuan Shu looked at him and asked, "Hua Xiong is back??" Before the servant could answer, he hurriedly walked out towards the gate, and the servant was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the delicate cane from the door, and said, "Master, you don't have this."

"Shut up! Stupid, put that away for me!! Yuan Shu scolded, the slave was in a hurry, and hurriedly handed the cane to another slave, let him take it away, he stepped forward to support, but Yuan Shu pushed it away, endured the sharp pain in his back, he walked to the gate step by step, Hua Xiong was looking around, seeing Yuan Shu coming, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly walked up.

"Captain!!" Hua Xiong hugged Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's painful face was a little hideous, the slave was shocked, and wanted to speak, but he remembered Yuan Shu's appearance, fortunately, Hua Xiong quickly let go of him, looking at Yuan Shu in front of him, Hua Xiong had a lot of words to say in his heart, Yuan Shu pulled him and walked towards the study, Hua Xiong looked around, and was still saying: "Captain, the changes here are really big... What about the weapons? ”

Yuan Shu didn't reply, gritted his teeth, and walked into the study with him, then he sat down cautiously, leaning on a soft cushion, his face was still a little painful, looking at his pale face, the sweat droplets rolling down his forehead, Hua Xiong asked with some doubts; "Captain, your arrow wound has recurred?" , Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Just these few days, there is some pain..."

"Then you have to take care of your body, the captain knows, Dong Gong is dead, a good person, if you say no, it's gone, I'm stunned, captain you are already injured, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise, I'm afraid you will have to be the same as Dong Gong!"

Listening to Hua Xiong's words, the slave standing at the door, his face turned white, the head of the family kindly went to pick you up in person, you still cursed the master of the house like this, he was about to speak, but Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "You all go out!" You don't have to wait here! ”

"This—" The servant hesitated.

Yuan Shu looked at him coldly, and the servant hurriedly retreated.

"Who are these, brothers?"

"These are... The slaves and brothers sent by my wife's clan are now all serving in Luoyang, and they are doing well, and you can visit one or two when you are free..."

"Hahaha, I almost forgot, Captain, you are also married..."Hua Xiong smiled, untied the saber from his waist, put it on the case, and said: "I didn't bring any gifts, this is my saber, all these years, has been following me, today, I will give it to my nephew as a congratulatory gift!" He said, but Yuan Shu was stunned, "Which is your nephew?" ”

"Could it be a niece? I saw that there was a very large side courtyard built next door, and it was also named Yuan's Mansion, and I thought..."

"That's where the mastiff lives..."

Hua Xiong suddenly realized, and hurriedly put the sword back and hung it on his waist again.

"Changsheng was originally going to come to see the captain, but he still needs to hand over the soldiers to the new Zhijinwu, and he is busy, maybe in a few days, he will come..."

The two chatted for a long time, and then Yuan Shu said: "Okay, this time you have made a great contribution, I'm afraid it will be enough to blend into the temple, if you sneak into the temple, take care of your mouth, don't say more, you go and see the mastiff... He misses you a lot... I'll rest for a while...", Yuan Shu said, Hua Xiong nodded, said goodbye to 1 Yuan Shu, walked out of the study, and watched Hua Xiong leave, Yuan Shu hurriedly rubbed his back.

The severe pain made him extremely uncomfortable, lying on the desk, his face distorted, and he endured the pain.

Hua Xiong walked into the side yard, there was no one stationed here, and there were no slaves blocking the way, he walked in directly, just walked in, he saw a few people sitting in the courtyard, there was a small pavilion in the courtyard, they were talking in the pavilion, Hua Xiong just walked in, they had already found out, Liu Mastiff was the most excited, he quickly stood up, and rushed towards Hua Xiong.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi also hurriedly got up, Yuan Shang also got up slowly, he didn't have much time here, he had never seen this person, and he didn't know who this person was, he had some doubts in his heart, looking around, Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "This person is Huaxiong!" Yuan Shang suddenly realized that on weekdays, this person was talked about by Liu Mastiff and mentioned many times.

Hua Xiong also gave Liu Mastiff a hug, but Liu Mastiff was still young, and he barely reached Hua Xiong's chest, which was still a little embarrassing.

Hua Xiong laughed, looked Liu Mastiff in front of him up and down, and said with some surprise: "I haven't seen you these days, you are so old, I almost can't recognize you!" During this period of time, Liu Mastiff's temperament has changed greatly, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi may not have realized it, but Huaxiong, who has been away for a long time, can see it at a glance, this temperament is quite similar to the person in the palace.

Liu Mastiff pulled Hua Xiong, came to the pavilion, pressed him, sat on the main seat, and gave him high respect.

Hua Xiong smirked, and was worshiped by Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi again, looked at Yuan Shang, looked at his eyebrows, and looked at Yuan Shu, who was somewhat similar to Yuan Shu, and was taken aback, and said: "Captain Yu me!" Yuan Shang was also a little stunned, he bowed his hand and said: "Yuan Shang has seen the general!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Hua Xiong looked at him and asked, "Are you the illegitimate son of the captain?" ”

"I... I am..."Yuan Shang looked at Hua Xiong blankly, speechless.

"Ahem, Uncle Hua, this is Yuan Gong's nephew..."

"Oh! Hahaha, I see! ”

A few people sat down, but Yuan Shang was still a little embarrassed, and he was a little uneasy when he sat down.

"There have been too many changes here, especially when the captain actually married a wife, I didn't expect it, you don't know, I went to Guishan this time, the people there are very strange, some people, he can't marry a wife in his life, can't engage in farming, can only do the most lowly industry..."

Liu Mastiff and the others listened carefully.

"And their appearance, it's also very different, some are blonde, some are black, and some are red, I thought I saw a monster, and besides, where their land is very good, they grow food, and they harvest a lot..."

Hua Xiong talked a lot, and he was never tired.

"What about the war?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, sneered, and said, "War, that's it... There's nothing to say..."

Looking at the new scar in Hua Xiong's ear, Zhuge Liang asked, "What about your injury?" ”

"This, inevitably, don't talk about this... I'll tell you other interesting things..."Hua Xiong stayed here until the evening, and then he was a little tired, but the story he told was particularly wonderful, and several people were deeply fascinated and forgot the time, Zhuge Liang looked at the sky, suddenly stood up, and shouted: "It's not good, I have to go back!" ”

Before Hua Xiong could wake up, he saluted Hua Xiong goodbye and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.

Hua Xiong looked at him and asked a little stunned, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, general, you go on, don't pay attention to him!" Sima Yi said with a smile.

"I've also talked a lot, and you can also talk about the changes in Luoyang..."

"In the sun? The Son of Heaven canonized His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.. Is this so? Sima Yi said with a smile, Hua Xiong was taken aback, looked at Liu Mastiff on the side, and asked, "Are you the prince??" ”

Liu Mastiff smiled and nodded.

"Great, you hurry up and make me a big official! I don't want to stay in Jijingo anymore!! ”

"This...."

............

A few of them were chatting here, and in the palace, the Son of Heaven was also chatting with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Lu Zhi.

"Jia Xu's performance, you have all watched it... He wants to re-engage in foreign trade, or he wants to trade directly with Anxi, he wants to turn Xiting County into an important area for foreign trade, and he also wants to trade with Kushan... What do you guys think? ”

"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of trade with Sabbath, but we're just starting a war with Kushan, which is..."

The Son of Heaven shook his head and said with a smile: "You underestimate Cao Mengde and Jia Wenhe these two people, after the two of them discussed, they decided to set up a trading place in Xiting County, that is to say, we don't need to send people to trade with them, but let them come to Xiting and trade with us, Han merchants, don't take any more risks, just go directly to Xiting..."

"They want to pile up all the goods here, so that this place will become a trade center between the East and the West, if their plan can be completed, I am afraid, the development of this Xiting will be extremely rapid, and in the future, it can also become an important source of the Han treasury, better than the New Deal..."The Son of Heaven said with a smile.

Lu Zhi and the others suddenly realized, but asked again, "How can they come to trade with us?" ”

"Because, the merchants of Guishan can no longer go to rest in peace, and if they still want to get Guishan's products and Han products, they must rush to Xiting...."

The Son of Heaven smiled, looked at Lu Zhi on the side, and asked:

"I govern the Han Dynasty, with a household registration of nearly 100 million, the people are rich, I open up my borders, open up business routes, and cultivate thousands of talents for future generations.

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment, pursed his lips, and said: "Your Majesty's merit is high, but Emperor Xiaokang's merits are world-famous, and I have never heard him ask the minister, and he wants to compare his merits with the ancestors..."

The smile on the face of the Son of Heaven froze, and he nodded, without words.
