When it came to the evening dinner, Zhang Xiu naturally set up a banquet to personally entertain his two fellow disciples. And after all, this is the first time that the three brothers have gotten together for the first time, no matter what Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun are doing in Nanyang, at least it will not affect the feelings between the three of them. What's more, Zhang Xiu naturally understands that in fact, the two junior brothers have no ill will towards him.

The banquet was indeed full of joy for the guests and hosts, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, as senior brothers, first of all, they both talked about the interesting stories of their respective martial arts practices under the teacher Tong Yuan, to say that most of Zhao Yun really knew the way, but some individual troubles, Zhao Yun really didn't know the way.

However, he couldn't listen to his two senior brothers in vain, at the request of his two senior brothers, Zhao Yun also told Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren about his acquaintance with Ma Chao when he was a teenager, and the relationship between the two was very good, and there was also the most difficult agreement, including the things in Zhaojia Village during this period, and he also told Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren. After all, this is not a secret, and Zhao Yun also has a purpose in doing this, that is, to let his two senior brothers know more about his eldest brother, who is also his lord.

After all, in Zhao Yun's eyes, whether it is Zhang Xiu or Zhang Ren, they will all serve under their own lord's account in the future. Even if Zhang Ren has not completely returned to his heart now, even if Zhang Xiu has not said that he wants to take refuge in his lord, but Zhao Yun knows that these are indeed not a problem. As time goes by, everything will fall into place, isn't it?

His second senior brother Zhang Ren didn't like to see his lord at the beginning, but now, no matter what it is, at least he not only saw his lord, but was also sent by his lord to Nanyang to persuade his two senior brothers to come. I have to say that this is actually the biggest change. As for his eldest brother Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun understands better. As long as he takes refuge in his lord, then at least for the time being, he will definitely not be like his second senior brother.

Therefore, Zhao Yun knew that at this time, he had to intentionally or unintentionally say that his lord was good, and let the two senior brothers take a look. His lord is the master of the world, at least not everyone can compare. Whether it is Yuan Benchu of Jizhou or Cao Mengde of Xudu, it is not good.

And Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren also had to sigh after hearing this, Ma Chao and Ma Meng Qiqi, although they belonged to the younger faction among the princes of the world. But I have to say that I had great ambitions when I was young, and at that time, I already knew that I had won over my subordinates. This is indeed a master, no wonder he has such great achievements at such a young age, the so-called "three-year-old looks old". That's how it was when I was a teenager, so if I grow up, it's no accident. That must be a character. Let's look at it now. Indeed it is.

Zhang Xiu smiled at this time and said to the two: "Come, come, drink!" ”

The three of them drank freely, and Zhao Yun was also rarely happy, so he drank a little more than usual. But Zhao Yun has a good amount of alcohol, but he never drinks too much. It can be said that Zhao Yun's self-control is very good, and it is easy to make mistakes when he drinks too much, so at least after he becomes an adult. He had never drunk too much. So people who know Zhao Yun know Lu Dao, Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong can drink and drink, but he has never been drunk, and those who don't know Lu Dao think that Zhao Yun can drink, indeed, this is true, this is true, but those who really know him know Lu Dao, Zhao Yun's self-control is very strong, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

After a dinner, it is not an exaggeration to say that the three brothers are close, at least although they are not studying under the account of the teacher Tong Yuan at the same time, but to be honest, the relationship is indeed not shallow. And at the banquet, after three rounds of drinking, the feelings of several people can only deepen, but they will not fade. Maybe their teacher Tong Yuan just thought that the three disciples he had only accepted in his life were now sitting together drinking and feasting. I have to say, fate is indeed a very wonderful thing-

After the banquet, the banquet was withdrawn, and the three of them continued to chat, after all, this opportunity is not available at any time.

As a result, the three of them didn't know how long they had been talking, but they heard a soldier come to report, Zhang Xiu was unhappy, and said in his heart that he had already said it, don't come to him if there is no big deal. Is there really something important, I have to come forward myself?

Zhang Xiu didn't think it was so late, what else could happen. As a result, the soldier who came to report was also very scared, but he thought that his lord had said that he had said that he would come to report if there was a big event, so it was indeed not a trivial matter now, so the soldier stood up at this time and said: "Report to the lord, before the city gate was closed, a person entered the city, and at this time he was at the gate of the mansion, asking to see the lord, saying that he was Xu Du's envoy!" ”

Zhang Xiu listened, what? Xu Du is coming? Generally speaking, this is definitely not the little yellow gate sent by the emperor, because the emperor's people did not come so late, so it can only be the people sent by Cao Mengde.

As a result, at this time, he looked at Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun again, his two junior disciples. At this time, the expressions of these two junior disciples were unpredictable, and when they heard the report from the soldiers that Xu Du was coming, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun naturally heard it. At this time, who else can Xu Du come, except for the person sent by Cao Mengde, can there be anyone else.

However, for Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, for the two of them, this is not a bad thing, but it can be said to be a good thing. Why do you say this, because Cao Cao also sent someone, so he must also come to persuade his senior brother to surrender, so if this is the case, he will naturally be able to make a decision as soon as possible. In the end, he chose to defect to his own Liangzhou army, or to his Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army.

Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, and both of them looked at him with a smile at this time. Zhang Xiu understood that his two juniors and disciples just wanted to see how they coped. If you say it's good, you have to look at your own reaction, and if you say it's not good, you also have to see your own jokes in it.

If you want to say that you were still vague and didn't make a clear statement before, but now that even Cao Mengde's envoy has come, I really don't have the ability to leave and right. Because they don't have that capital, they can't beat Cao Mengde, let alone Ma Chao, as long as the two of them pass Nanyang, they can destroy themselves. So I have to make a clear statement in the past few days, anyway, I either take refuge in Cao Cao or Ma Chao.

After thinking of this, Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart. I said in my heart that "people are not as good as heaven", and what I think is very good, but God is playing such a big joke on himself. If you want not to be destroyed, then you have to express your stance immediately, and now everything else is no longer feasible. The so-called "arrow on the string, it has to be sent"——

Zhang Xiu swallowed his saliva and said to the soldiers, "Please, Xu Du's envoy enters the mansion!" ”

These words, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said it, he hated, Cao Mengde's envoy didn't come early or late, but he wanted to come at this time, didn't this make a problem for himself. What else can I do now, I can only "take one step at a time".

After a while, sure enough, a person who looked like a scribe entered the living room, and when he saw Zhang Xiu, he didn't have any expression, but when he saw Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun on both sides, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but he immediately relaxed.

To be honest, of course he didn't know Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, but he felt that the two people next to him were a little unusual, but he really didn't think about it for a while.

Zhang Xiu smiled at this time: "Mr. is Cao Sikong's messenger?" ”

The person who came smiled when he heard this, "Back to General Zhang, yes, exactly!" Under the Sikong account, the staff Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang! ”

For the name Liu Ye, to be honest, whether it is Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren, or Zhao Yun, it can be said that they have never heard of it. If Ma Chao was here, he would have been able to know the Dao, but who let him not be here.

Zhang Xiu nodded, since he had never heard of it, in terms of Zhang Xiu's character, it was impossible to say anything about a long admiration for a long time, such as thunder and ears, but he still said: "Mr. Ziyang is coming from afar, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

After Liu Ye sat down, he saw that Zhang Xiu didn't mean to introduce the other two people in the room, and he didn't ask anything interestingly. However, he nodded slightly at Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, which was regarded as a greeting. Although I don't know who these two people are, Liu Ye doesn't dare to underestimate the two. And there should be politeness, but there is still there, Liu Ye was born but a genuine Han family member, although the family road has fallen, but his person is indeed knowledgeable and polite, and a clear-eyed person knows the Tao at a glance, that is definitely the person who came out of everyone.

Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun saw that they were so polite, and it was naturally impossible for them to pretend to be uncles there, so they also returned the favor to Liu Ye. People are like this, the big red sedan chair carries people, although they really haven't heard of Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang's name. But he also knew that this person was one of Cao Mengde's staff, and Cao Cao could let this person be a lobbyist, so he must have real skills. And when people greet you kindly, you really can't be rude.

You must know that the literati of Lu Dao basically look down on military generals, so people who can understand etiquette so well are generally not gentle and humble, that is, they are children of big families. But no matter which one it is, people respect me, and I respect people, that's the truth.

As a result, it was interesting at this time, after Liu Ye sat down, none of the four people in the room spoke first. Of course, it is definitely impossible for Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun to speak first, the master of the family, his senior brother has not spoken yet, how can it be their turn to speak, so they will be more and more obedient.

But Zhang Xiu and Liu Ye didn't say anything first, which is a bit interesting. Of course, both of them have their own ideas at this time, it's not that they don't speak, it's just that they haven't thought of how to say it. (To be continued......)
