Zhang Ji was discouraged, led the troops to surrender, and after Zhang Ji and others surrendered, even if Zhao Xu waved his army to advance into Tongguan and saw the scenery of Tongguan, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hundreds of years later, as the birthplace of China's most famous dynasty, it really has courage, such a precipitous place, no wonder, if it is not for their own strategy, almost no effort to take down Tongguan, it is really lucky, otherwise, I am afraid that at least tens of thousands of troops will have to be killed and wounded.

Sizhou was also taken, and now it already has five states: Qing, Hebei, You, and Xu, plus this Sizhou, most of the north already has, and next, I am ready to deal with Cao Cao's house. Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, but he is not a busy person like Zhang Ji, not to mention Guo Jia's assistance, but this is not easy to deal with.

But fortunately, Guo Jia should hang up in a few years, and there is no need to worry, not to mention that this time he captured Sizhou, and he did not lose many soldiers, fortunately, this time, he did not lose his troops and generals, and he also obtained a lot of treasures, so he did not come in vain.

"Boxiong, now most of Sizhou has been decided, Chang'an has been deserted, and it is effortless to take it down, but Sizhou is enemy on three sides, when there must be some precautions, the land of Guanzhong, except for a few passes and a few cities, the rest are flat, almost no danger to defend, although Ma Teng in the west does not have to take too many precautions, but Han Sui and Zhang Lu in the south, Cao Cao in the southeast must not be guarded, and the army has to stay behind to guard Tongguan, Chang'an, Hangu Pass and several important places such as the Slope Valley and the Meridian Valley, otherwise, we have to worry about the future!" In the county government in Tongguan City, Zhao Xu and others were discussing the matter of Tongguan, Jia Xu walked in front of Zhao Xu, bowed, and suggested at the exit.

"Yes! The Slope Valley, the Meridian Valley, etc. are all important places in Sizhou, especially the Meridian Valley and the Slope Valley, the two places are the necessary places to enter and exit Hanzhong, and the general must be sent to guard it, otherwise Sizhou is in danger. Fa Zheng also said.

Zhao Xu looked at the generals in front of him, and didn't know how to choose for a while, which one was the most guard? Unable to think about it, he asked, "I wonder which two generals are willing to lead troops to guard these two places?" ”

"The last will go!" For a while, all the generals got up and asked for their lives??

What kind of errand should this ...... be? The land of Sizhou, non-generals can not be defended, Cao Cao also sent his most powerful son Cao Zhang to guard, if you want to defend here, you must have a general who can take charge of the situation, Han Sui is not worried, many generals under Cao Cao and Yan Yan in Hanzhong are not easy to match, but can not be a little sloppy. Zhao Xu was at a loss, looked at Fa Zheng and Jia Xu next to him, and asked, "Both, who do you think should be sent to guard the opinions you raised?"

"These places are the places where the soldiers must fight, the land in the middle, the advance can attack the world, and the retreat can sit on one side, in the past, Qin relied on this to make a fortune, so there must be no sloppiness, there must be trustworthy and stable generals to guard! Although Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji and others have lived in Sizhou for a long time, if they are handed over to the heavy army, in case they have a ghost in their hearts, we are not in front of us, and it is difficult to help him. Fa Zheng paused slightly and spoke.

"What filial piety says is very true!" Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded and said.

That's not nonsense! Who doesn't know, Zhao Xu couldn't smile bitterly, speaking of which, I have to make an idea, really! Zhao Xu looked at the generals, pondered for a while, and said: "Chen Dao, Yu Ban, this commander ordered the two of you to lead 10,000 troops to guard the Meridian Valley!" ”

"Whoa!" Chen Dao and Yu Ban hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

"Hmm...... Dian Wei, you bring 15,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hangu Pass. ”

"Great! Leave it to me Dianwei, rest assured! ”

"Tai Shici, I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Tongguan, in addition, you are accustomed to water, and you can train sailors along the Yellow River."

"No! A certain must be attentive! Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed when he heard this, he was originally very good at water, but he had no time to play, and this time was just the right place to play. Liu Bei's subordinates all know that except for Guan Yu, who has tens of thousands of sailors in Xuzhou, the rest of the places can be ignored, and it is undoubtedly an important task to order Tai Shici to train the navy today, so he is naturally happy.

"Hu Chuquan, I bother you to bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and in addition, I will have 10,000 troops and horses with you to guard the sloping valley. Would you like to? ”

"Of course! Hu Chuquan will definitely go all out. "When Hu Chuquan came, Luan Tiqiangqu instructed him: Now General Zhao Xu asked us to help, but he can afford us, after you go, you can just ask General Zhao Xu to go to the Central Plains to take on some important tasks, you are young, just go out to break through, it is better than spending your life on the grassland. Hu Chuquan was about to ask Zhao Xu after the war, but he didn't expect to come uninvited now, how could he refuse.

"In addition, Gongsun Zan, there are still hundreds of thousands of people under Zhang Yan in Youzhou Black Mountain, which are not easy to resettle, isn't it?"

"Yes! Zhang Yan's original Montenegrin people, there are more than 300,000 people who are not easy to settle, Youzhou is a small area, and most of it is barren land, difficult to cultivate, and has been troubled for a long time. Gongsun Zan replied, and when he said this, his brows furrowed, obviously because he had been troubled for a long time.

"Exactly! Please Gongsun you go back and transfer Zhang Yan to come, let him bring more than 300,000 families to Guanzhong, anyway, Guanzhong has been abandoned for a long time, there is fertile soil, and the population is small, just expand it. In addition, let him bring the military horses of his headquarters to guard Chang'an. My lord's place, I'll talk to him when I get back. ”

"Really? Then I thank the general. ”

"It's okay, this is originally my business, and, General Huang, this marshal invites you to take charge of Sizhou, the commander-in-chief, are you willing?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The old man takes the order! But where is Jizhou...... "Such a heavy task must be undertaken by the great future, Huang Zhong can still set the army to behead Xiahou Yuan at the age of seventy, such a heavy task, he must not." Huang Zhong also did not accept the old man, and listened to Zhao Xu's arrangement of this matter with him, and he was also happy in his heart.

"It's okay, I'll talk to my lord. Also, Wen He, I also asked you to come to Sizhou to assist Huang Zhong. Zhao Xu laughed.

"What! Wow! Boxiong, you declare a personal vendetta. Jia Xu was furious when he heard this, he wanted to stay by Liu Bei's side and show his ambitions, so that when he attacked the Central Plains in the future, he would show his majesty.

Zhao Xu naturally knew Jia Xu's thoughts, but Zhao Xu had already prepared, and laughed: "What words?" How is this a communiqué personal vendetta, where do I have a grudge against you? This is an errand that you can't bear, Sizhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides, your plan is unparalleled in the world, without you, I don't worry, besides, in the future, the troops will enter the Central Plains, plus you, just three ways to besiege, how is it bad? ”

"This ...... Okay! It's up to you. Jia Xu wanted to refute it, but what Zhao Xu said was indeed reasonable, Huang Zhong is also a good talker, and he is not good at refusing to excuse himself, so he should say.

The land of Guanzhong has not been stable for a long time, there must be a capable person to govern it, and there is a small problem with the law, so it is good to report personal vendettas! However, if the law is there, Huang Zhong cannot be suppressed, and Huang Zhong has a brave and upright personality, and the two are together, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, so it must be Jia Xu, Jia Xu is familiar with Guanzhong, and is also known as the "poisoner", dealing with local gangsters, just right!

"Big brother! What about me? Yide guards Qingzhou, there is already a place, and now the generals also have a heavy responsibility, how can they ......" Zhao Yun heard that he was not himself, although he was embarrassed to fight, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Zilong! Do you want to go back to Luoyang to be a groom? Forget, if you let that girl know that you don't care about her so much, you won't have to make a fuss. Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Zhao Yun forgot for a moment that he had already agreed to get married, and when he thought of Ma Yunlu, his face couldn't help but turn red. "Haha! Zilong, aren't you just like me, you're crazy in the war, and you even forgot about your daughter-in-law! ”

"Hahaha......" The generals couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhang Fei's words.

……

"Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu visited General Zhao Xu." After the affairs of various places in Sizhou were arranged, Zhao Xu summoned Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu to come for questioning. As soon as Zhang Ji came in, he knelt down, and pulled Zhang Xiu with him, and bowed.

"Lord Zhang is a prince all the way, and General Zhang Xiu is known as the "Gun King of the North", why is he so courageless. Zhao Xu drank tea and said leisurely.

"Zhao Xu, you ......" Zhang Xiu heard that Zhao Xu's words were thorny and sarcastic, and immediately thought that Zhao Xu was a person who said one thing and did another, and immediately became angry, immediately got up, and shouted.

"Bo Yuan! Retire. Before Zhang Xiu could attack, Zhang Ji shouted.

Zhang Xiu glared at Zhao Xu and retreated angrily, Zhang Ji hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, please forgive Zhang for the crime of lax discipline, I am the general of the defeated army, how can I be majestic, and please don't say this again." ”

"Hahaha! Zhou Cang, monk! Come and untie the two generals and give the two generals a cup of tea! Zhao Xu suddenly laughed, stood up and smiled.

"General Zhao, this ......" Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were both confused by Zhao Xu's behavior, and they didn't know what Zhao Xu's intentions were.

"Don't worry! It's okay, the two of them are just in charge of the seat, both of them are the pillars of the Han Dynasty, and after settling down Sizhou, they will lead the two to Luoyang to see the Son of Heaven and seek official positions for the two, which is also dignified. Zhao Xu couldn't hear the slightest ridicule and contempt in his words at this time, but there was a strong taste of cordiality.

"That! Thank you general, Zhang Ji can't repay it! In the future, the general had orders, Zhang Ji went to the soup to fight the fire, and he did not hesitate! Zhang Ji listened to Zhao Xu's sincerity in his words, and was immediately overjoyed, thinking that even if Zhao Xu didn't kill him, at least he would ridicule him, and he had already been mentally prepared.

"Huh! How can Zhao Xu Hede accept such a big gift, please go quickly, and receive a big gift to lose his life! Zhao Xu said jokingly.

"General Zhao, ...... are you" Zhang Xiu was also confused and said ignorantly.

"Hahaha! You don't have to be restrained, since you have surrendered, then it is my brother, the generals and soldiers in our army have always been called brothers, if you don't give up, you can directly call me the word, how about it? ”

"This ...... General Zhao, General Zhao, you are so benevolent and righteous, I, Zhang Ji (Zhang Xiu), am willing to hold a whip for the general, serve the court, and contribute to Uncle Liuhuang. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji were immediately deeply moved, and knelt down together and shouted.

"Haha! Two people, please start. Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them, and said with a smile: "Since they are all brothers, why bother to bow down again, come!" Zhao Xu's wine is strong, let's just drink a few glasses, please! ”

"Thank you, General, oh! No, Boxiong, please! ”

"Please!"
