Qingzhou, Linzi, the day after Zhao Xu's wedding.

The sun is three strokes, but the back house of Zhao Xu's mansion is still quiet.

Zhao Xu looked at the beauty in his arms and was shocked again. The complexion is white and red, and it is even more heroic. The faint fragrance on the body was rushed by the fresh morning air that rushed into the door, suddenly there was nothing, and it became more and more sultry.

remembered his previous life, although he was a soldier, he died honorably; But it is also worthy of the mission. can look back on his life, but most of them are failures, he has always buried his love in his heart, and inevitably left many regrets, failed to prevent his brothers from going astray, and did not protect his comrades-in-arms, and finally died under the * gun. Compared with the emperor who has achieved great things in his mind, what he does is so boring and boring... At this time, career and love were both harvested, looking at the lover in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, hugged Zhao Xue tighter, and couldn't help but kiss Zhao Xue's pretty face.

Zhao Xue was asleep, was hugged and kissed by Zhao Xu, and woke up, poked her head out of the quilt, looked at Zhao Xu, looked at each other, and looked out the window, the sky was already bright. said: "Husband, it's time to get up, what time is this?" The little jade hand caressed Zhao Xu's chest.

"Good, good! Get up. Zhao Xu said with pity and love, "Don't I want to accompany you!" ”

"Phew! Flam, don't make excuses for yourself. Zhao Xuejiao said angrily.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "How can this be called an excuse, I am all sincere, I love the country and love the beauty more." ”

"Giggle......" Zhao Xue shook her head and giggled when she heard Zhao Xu praise her beauty like this, and said softly: "Husband, the husband should focus on fame and career, Xue'er only asks her husband to take Xue'er with him from time to time, and she can also help you in the battlefield, so as not to suffer from that lovesickness......"

A career of fame? Zhao Xu was thrilled when he heard these four words, my God, I actually forgot about the business! It's hard to cross over, how can you indulge in the gentle township. Looking at Zhao Xue's face that captivated the country and the city, he secretly said in his heart, no wonder there is a beautiful Yang Guifei on the side, Xuanzong will not be early in the dynasty, no wonder he is said to be red-faced. Although Xue'er is not a disaster, if I am not enterprising, wouldn't it hurt her heart, and besides, it is not for the sake of fame and fame, but also for the rejuvenation of China, how can I indulge in this?

"Not for that fame, for you and me, the people of the world, and the early arrival of the world of benevolence, husband and me, I ......" Zhao Xu suddenly thought clearly, hurriedly jumped up from a carp on the bed, put on his clothes, and began to speak at length, in the end, he approached Zhao Xue with a shy face, and kissed her on the red lips, "Then I'll go out to do errands first." ”

Zhao Xue was stunned, and immediately guessed Zhao Xu's thoughts, nodded and smiled: "Husband, go, Xue'er is only waiting for you here." ”

Zhao Xu came to the county mansion and met Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, Zhao Xu hurriedly haha: "Zilong, Shuzhi, Yide, morning!" ”

Chen Zhi raised his head to look at the sky, and said to Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu beside him: "Yun Chang, Zilong, Yide, it's time to have lunch, right?" ”

"It's really time for lunch, and I don't know if the food in the house is ready, but so-and-so is hungry!" Guan Yu shook his head and said sarcastically.

"......" Zhao Yun didn't like to brush Zhao Xu's face, covered his mouth, his face turned red, and then he couldn't hold it back and laughed.

"You... You guys! Zhao Xu was embarrassed and said sarcastically: "Uncle Zhi, I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns!" So good at talking! ”

Chen Zhi smiled: "Haha! Didn't I learn this from you, I'm also close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, you say, right? ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "That's right, Boxiong, I didn't expect you to be greedy for the bed!" ”

Zhao Xu touched his head, extremely embarrassed, these are really bad learners, retribution! looked at Guan Yu and changed the topic: "Eh! Yun Chang, when are you going to return to Jizhou? ”

Guan Yufeng's eyes widened and said, "What, you don't want to see me yet?" So anxious to let me go? ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "How come! I just care about you, why don't you appreciate it! ”

Zhao Xu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi laughed.

At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, saw Zhao Xu and hurriedly saluted.

Zhao Xu said: "What's the matter?" So flustered. ”

The guard said: "Report to the general, Captain Yang Biao asks to see the lord." ”

"Taiwei Yang Biao, what is he doing here?" Chen Zhi said.

Guan Yu said: "Taiwei is a minister of the imperial court, and he came here in person today, it seems that he has something important, so I will invite him in first." ”

"Yes! Two generals. ”

Zhao Xu and the others saw Yang Biao and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Yang Biao hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The generals are polite. He bowed his hand to Zhao Xu and said: "I heard that General Zhao's wedding, congratulations, I have never drunk happy wine, I am deeply sorry, I am here to congratulate." ”

Zhao Xu replied: "Thank you for your concern." Seeing a young man standing next to him, about thirteen years old, with a faint look of Yang Biao on his face, Zhao Xu thought to himself: Could this be Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao?

Zhao Xu said: "Dare to ask who this young man is, he is heroic and extraordinary." ”

"Oh!" Yang Biao reacted, and then pointed to the child beside him, "The general has won the award, this is a dog, a famous cultivator." Xiu'er, I haven't seen the generals yet. ”

"Yang Xiu visited the generals and admired the names of the generals for a long time, like thunder."

"Haha! Captain, your son is quite knowledgeable. Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Zhao Xu looked at Yang Xiu, "Yang Xiu is exempt!" Captain Yang, the young general would like to congratulate you! Zhao Xu smiled at Yang Biao.

Yang Biao was stunned by Zhao Xu's headless words, and asked suspiciously, "Oh? General Zhao, I don't know what the old man likes? ”

"The young general Guan Yang Xiu is a studious person, with the appearance of a handsome talent, he will be a great talent one day, for Yang Taiwei, isn't it a great joy?"

"General Zhao is still proficient in physiognomy?" Yang Biao was very surprised and asked.

Hehe, although I don't know how to say physiognomy, but I know the history of the Three Kingdoms! Zhao Xu said secretly. "The young general understands a little, understands a little."

Guan Yu said: "Taiwei is here, do you have something important?" ”

Yang Biao looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Xu, hesitated for a while, and thought: Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, and Zhao Xu is a general, so it doesn't hurt to say it. said: "The old man is under the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he is entrusting important matters to the imperial uncle. ”

Guan Yu said: "That's it, Captain, please come in." Everyone immediately invited Yang Biao into the chamber.

In the conference hall, Liu Bei, Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang and several other military advisors Wen Chou were handling affairs. Seeing that Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others were leading Yang Biao to come, they hurriedly got up and saluted. Liu Bei said: "Taiwei Yang, where did you come from, why don't you give a notice, it's better to be prepared, welcome one or two!" ”

Yang Biao also replied: "Uncle Huang is so polite, how dare you ask Uncle Huang to greet him." ”

Liu Bei secretly thought: Taiwei Yang Biao is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he will come here in person today, and there must be something important. At the moment, he asked: "Taiwei is here in person, there must be an edict from the Son of Heaven." ”

Yang Biao said: "Uncle Huang Jian, the old man does have an edict from the Son of Heaven, and Uncle Huang accepts the edict. ”

Liu Bei, Zhao Xu and others hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and Yang Biao said loudly: "Recently, the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the Northern Desert have disturbed the Central Plains, threatening the imperial capital, and the people are uneasy and harmful. My emperor has a will, the order is empty, the Han emperor uncle Liu Bei led the troops to attack the Xiongnu, Xianbei Eryi, only allowed to win, not allowed to lose, Wanwang Emperor Uncle tried his best to break the enemy, do not live up to my trust. After Yang Biao finished speaking, he handed over the holy decree to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took the holy decree and said: "Liu Bei will live up to His Majesty's trust, not break the Xiongnu Xianbei, and swear not to return to the Central Plains." ”

Taiwei Yang Biao said: "Uncle Huang has this heart, the great luck of the country, the great luck of the people of the world." ”

"The Northern Desert Zhuyi, for hundreds of years, has deceived the people of the north, and it is too rude; This expedition to the Northern Desert will be destroyed in one fell swoop and live up to His Majesty's trust. Liu Bei looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs below and shouted in a deep voice.

"Lord Shengming." Zhao Xu and a group of civil and military officers responded in unison.

"Zhao Xu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei listen to orders."

"The last general!" Zhao Xu and the three responded in unison.

"Zhao Xu, I order you to be the pastor of Bingzhou, the chief general of the expedition to the Huns, Jia Xu as the military advisor, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong as the wings, lead an army of 100,000, and take the Baier soldiers and the Condor warriors to Bingzhou to attack the Huns. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of you also led an army of 100,000, and asked Mr. Zhuge and Tian Feng to be military advisors, Zhang Liao and Zhang He to be deputy generals, and to join hands with Gongsun Zan and others in Youzhou to break Xianbei. It is scheduled to depart in late summer and early autumn. ”

Zhuge Liang had just arrived, and he was appointed as a military advisor on this expedition, and Zhuge Liang was also moved in his heart, and said in his heart: I really met the master.

"Yes!"

Without saying much, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately mobilized soldiers and horses from Hebei, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, while Zhao Xu ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, and then mobilized soldiers and horses from Shangji and Erzhou. After more than a month, 200,000 elite soldiers were collected and sent to the Northern Desert.
