When he came back from the queen, Zhang Yu hid in his courtyard.

Many well-informed people knew what was going on, and although there was no official announcement of the candidates for the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, many people were starting to operate.

Needless to say, all the major families are in operation.

At the same time, He Jin was also very anxious, but his operation was fruitless, because the emperor formed the Eighth Captain of the West Garden to deal with him.

The candidates for the eighth lieutenant were revealed one after another.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong are all listed, as well as Jian Shuo, plus Zhang Yu, there are five candidates.

These five people immediately became hot figures in Luoyang City.

Jian Shuo didn't say it, he was a big eunuch, and he usually had no contact with the outside world, but some other people became guests of the Luoyang magnates.

There were also many people who sent invitations to Zhang Yu and invited him to the banquet, but Zhang Yu did not respond to any of them.

Zhang Yu is also very concerned about the eighth lieutenant and has been paying attention to it.

"The military power assigned to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others is nothing more than to use the power of the family to contain He Jin, not to let He Jin dominate, and He Jin will have to weigh if he wants to change the emperor."

"The others, who are not well-known in later generations, or who hung up early, really don't remember who they are."

"Now, among the eight captains, I am an isolated one, although Jian Shuo is a eunuch and is a gang on the surface, he does not understand military affairs and rarely deals with military affairs."

"The other people are all representatives of the family, and they are enemies with me, so it seems that it is not easy to stay in Luoyang."

After Zhang Yu collected information, he began to calculate.

According to history, it will take two or three months before the eighth lieutenant of the West Park will be officially announced to the public and officially formed, so Zhang Yu is not in a hurry.

"While there is still time, we have to lay out in advance."

Zhang Yu knew that the situation would change greatly this year, and he would definitely plan in advance.

First of all, Zhang Yu asked Huiji County to form a 10,000-strong garrison army, and the garrison army did not fight externally, mainly guarding their homes, so that other armies would not have to be trapped at home and could fight externally.

In this way, Huiji County has 30,000 troops, of which 20,000 can fight abroad.

Zhang Yu told Guo Jia about his plans.

"Fengxiao, the situation in Luoyang is not very favorable to us, I plan to leave Luoyang for a while." Zhang Yu said.

"My lord, Your Majesty has rebuilt the Eighth Captain, and you have entered the center of the storm to seize the heir, and you really shouldn't stay in Luoyang, especially if your foundation in Luoyang is too shallow."

Zhang Yu nodded, thought for a while and said: "Fengxiao, you stay in Luoyang to help me collect intelligence, and give you three hundred men and horses for you to deploy, I will leave Luoyang, about three months." ”

Zhang Yu ordered some more things, and then went to prepare.

"Let's do it and take it easy."

The next day, Zhang Yu went south with hundreds of cavalry.

Luoyang to the south is Nanyang, which is Jingzhou.

Zhang Yu planned to go to Jingzhou for a turn.

Zhang Yu sent someone to deliver a message to Zhang Rang, and then took someone directly south.

"Ning'er, this Jingzhou, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, it is not as oppressive as Luoyang." Zhang Yu said to Zhang Ning on the road.

"Brother Zhang Yu, there are too many disputes in other places, I don't like it."

Jingzhou was relatively unaffected by the war, and there were no human bones everywhere on the road.

"Ning'er, this time I will take you to meet a famous old-timer, the last time I said goodbye, it was a few years ago." Zhang Yu also sighed that the last time he saw Pang Degong and others was a few years ago.

This time Zhang Yu went south to Jingzhou, and the first person he wanted to see was Pang Degong.

Pang Degong is a native of Xiangyang, and he lives on the mountain outside Xiangyang City.

Now Zhang Yu deliberately went to find him.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and the others arrived in Xiangyang City.

did not enter the city, but camped outside the city to rest.

Zhang Yu rested outside the city for a day, and then went to buy some gifts, mainly bringing his own books and papers, as well as fairy brew and tea.

These things are hard currency, and they are perfect for people like Pang Degong.

Zhang Yu took Dian Wei Zhang Ning and a hundred guards to go.

When the group arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to camp at the bottom of the mountain, and he took the dozen or so people up.

Pang Degong's manor is still quiet, more than three years have passed, and not much has changed.

Zhang Yu arrived in front of the courtyard.

"The old man Zhang Yu, come to meet Pang Degong." Zhang Yu said politely outside the courtyard.

After a while, a small child, the size of a teenager, ran out of it.

"Oh, it's you here, please come in, the teacher often mentions you." When the little boy saw that it was Zhang Yu, he immediately came over and opened the door.

Zhang Yu also remembered that this person was the little boy who opened the door for him last time, but he had grown a lot taller.

And Zhang Yu's appearance has not changed much, but he has grown a lot taller and changed his temperament.

After opening the door, the little boy hurriedly ran in to find Pang Degong, while Zhang Yu led people to wait there.

"Haha, it turned out that Zhang Xiaoyou came, a rare guest." Pang Degong greeted him personally.

There was also an old man who came out with Pang Degong, who was about forty or fifty years old, and he also looked like a person.

"There is a Lau Pound to greet you."

"It should be, it should be, I'm a civilian, and your Zhang Xiaoyou has been not ordinary in the past few years, the generals are too shou and the marquis, the entire young generation of the Han Dynasty is unmatched." Pang Degong said.

"It's just a trick." Zhang Yu said with a little weakness.

Pang Degong's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Of course, there are tricks, but no one can erase your real military exploits and contributions, and it can't change much because of your identity." ”

Zhang Yu has nothing to say, this is indeed the case, he bribed Zhang Rang to take advantage of it, but his military exploits and other contributions are no one can compare.

"Come, Xiaoyou, let me introduce you to this person, Sima Hui is a virtuous person, known as Mr. Shuijing." Pang Degong introduced the old man beside him to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was taken aback, this Sima Hui was not an ordinary person, but the teachers of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu, and many other disciples were also capable people.

"The junior met Mr. Shuijing, and it was rude just now." Zhang Yu stepped forward to bow.

Sima Hui stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Yu, then nodded straight, not knowing what he meant.

"When I first saw Xiaoyou, the dragon among people, I just have some ideas that need to be confirmed with Xiaoyou, and I don't know if it's convenient or not." Sima Hui finally spoke.

Zhang Yu couldn't hear the joy and anger when he heard that tone.

"Although the seniors ask, the younger generations should know everything." Zhang Yu said.

"Haha, let's talk inside." Pang Degong smiled and invited the two in.

Pang Degong and Sima Hui exchanged glances, and the two nodded slightly.

Zhang Yu and the others followed the two old men in.

Zhang Yu was also very surprised, he came to find Pang Degong and met Huang Chengyan before, but this time he was able to meet Sima Hui.
