Zhang Xiu said to the soldiers: "Let Pang Ji come in." ”

After a while, the soldier brought in a scribe, and the scribe saluted Zhang Xiu politely, "Jingzhou Mu is engaged in Pang Ji to meet Xuanwei Hou!" ”

Xuanwei Hou is Zhang Xiu's knighthood, when he was in Chang'an, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others controlled the government and rewarded the officers of the Yongliang department to win them over. Zhang Ji's hussar general became at that time, and Zhang Xiu was named the Jianzhong general Xuanwei Hou because of Zhang Ji's relationship, and even Jia Xu's Xuanyi general was also obtained at that time.

Zhang Xiu likes celebrities, or most people in the Eastern Han Dynasty like celebrities. This is closely related to the social state of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a problem left over from history.

People who don't like celebrities and celebrities are basically disliked by celebrities, so they have a rebellious mentality, which is why they are like this. is that when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, he liked to appoint celebrities, celebrities did not come, and even threatened their families, and the representative of them was Cai Yong.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others don't attach much importance to celebrities, but they don't dare to open them easily.

The Zhang family is a powerful and powerful martial artist, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized family. However, because of the remote Liangzhou, it has not been looked down upon by the Central Plains family. However, they are still wealthy families, and they have always imagined that they are on par with the Central Plains family.

Pang Ji had just been courteous for a few weeks, which made Zhang Xiu immediately take a look. Zhang Xiu hurriedly returned the salute, and then instructed the soldiers: "Take a seat for Pang!" ”

At this time, the seats were composed of several cases and mats, and the soldiers put the mats, brought a few cases, placed wine cups on top of the cases, and poured thin wine.

Zhang Xiucai said: "I don't know what Pang is doing to teach embroidery? ”

Pang Ji was very happy with Zhang Xiu's attitude, he didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Ji is here to mourn the hussar general!" ”

As soon as Zhang Ji was mentioned, Zhang Xiu's face changed. He just thought about receiving Pang Ji, who had the style of a famous man, and forgot about his uncle's death for the time being! can't blame Zhang Xiu, it's really Zhang Jixin's death, and he is still a little uncomfortable.

Pang Ji saw that Zhang Xiu's face had changed, and he was not alarmed, he continued: "Secondly, Ji represents Liu Jingzhou to express his sincerity. Liu Jingzhou didn't want to be an enemy of the general, and Liu Jingzhou was also very sad about the hussar general, so he invited the general to live in Wancheng temporarily to support the hussar general's family. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, her face improved. Liu Biao gave him a temporary residence in Wancheng, which really explained Liu Biao's attitude. Wancheng is not an ordinary small city, but the seat of Nanyang County, a famous big city in the world, and the ancestral land of Emperor Guangwu. With such a heavy city, Liu Biao can be willing to give it to Zhang Xiu, which shows that Liu Biao really doesn't want to be an enemy of Zhang Xiu.

However, Zhang Xiu also knew that it was not so simple to get Wancheng, so he groaned for a while and asked, "I don't know what else is going on in Liu Jingzhou?" ”

Pang Ji laughed, this Zhang Xiu is very good! He said: "Liu Jingzhou and Yuzhou have some contradictions, if someone in Yuzhou comes to attack, please ask Xuanwei Hou to help!" ”

Zhang Xiu glanced at Jia Xu with his eyes, Jia Xu nodded, Zhang Xiu got up and said, "In this way, Xiu has thanked Liu Jingzhou for his kindness!" ”

Next, the two complimented each other, and Pang Ji went to Zhang Ji's mourning hall to offer condolences, and then returned to Xiangyang to resume his life.

After Pang Ji left, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu: "What does Mr. think Liu Biao wants?" ”

Jia Xu chuckled: "But I just want to use the general as a shield!" ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Jia Xu said: "Liu Biao and Cao Cao are the land of Yuzhou, and there are many conflicts, and they are defeated by Cao Cao in several battles. Now that Cao Cao is coercing the Son of Heaven, Liu Biao is not good at messing around anymore, but he is afraid of Cao Cao's idea of beating him, so he has more precautions against Cao Cao. Looking at Liu Biao, he just wants to sit in Xiangyang, and there are heavy troops on all sides. There are changes in the four counties of Jiangling to prevent Jingnan, Jiangxia to prevent the Sun clan from attacking, and Zigui to prevent Xichuan, but there is no guardian dog in the north for the time being, so the idea of fighting the general will be hit. ”

Zhang Xiu sneered: "He really has a good idea!" ”

"It's true, Liu Biao is not enterprising enough, but he is more than successful. He asked the general to live in Wancheng temporarily, firstly, he could turn enemies into friends with the general and add help; Second, you can invite the name, and the land of Jingxiang must have spread the name of Liu Biao's benevolence and righteousness. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, but there was some resentment in his heart.

"The most important thing for the general at the moment is to gather the generals and soldiers, not to let them disperse, and wait until they reach Wancheng, and then find a way to plot the whole county of Nanyang." Jia Xu said.

"How long will it take to take the whole county of Nanyang?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but want to see Liu Biao's face at that time.

"Three years at most, one year at least!"

Zhang Xiu nodded, he could still wait for three years.

A few days later, Pang Ji returned here, bringing Liu Biao's cardinal order and handing over Wancheng to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Yi also followed Zhang Xiu to Wancheng, which was the first tall city he saw, much more majestic than the one he had seen before. However, after entering Wancheng, Zhang Yi's mood began to stir, and this place would become one of the places he planned.

In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and general Dian Wei will all die. If you plan it right, you can kill one or two, right? Priority Dian Wei, followed by Cao Ang, and second Cao Anmin.

As for whether killing Cao Ang will cause Cao Cao's murderous intent, this is not something that Zhang Yi can consider. Since he got the killing system, his heart has also become a lot bigger. Now I see Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and Hu Che'er all killing from time to time, and they always want to get together the five historical celebrities first.

After entering Wancheng, Zhang Yi got a separate place to live because he was a relative of Zhang Xiu. When he was fine that day, he practiced martial arts diligently, Zhang Ji's riding and archery was very good, he had to get familiar with it as soon as possible, he didn't have much time, maybe only one or two years. The ability to ride a horse and shoot archery is not something that can be practiced in a year or two, but fortunately he has Zhang Ji's riding and archery ability, otherwise he would not be able to make up five historical celebrities in his life.

After Zhang Xiu entered Wancheng, he began to get grain and grass from various families, he had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there were many cavalry, and the grain and grass consumed every day was a big number. It's hard to feed so many soldiers and horses!

Time flies, and the first year of Jian'an has passed quietly. Zhang Xiu had already gained a firm foothold in Wancheng and began to seek other counties in Nanyang County.

In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, in order to stabilize the surroundings of Xuchang, began to discuss the removal of threats from the surrounding areas.

Cao Cao summoned his staff and said: "Now that Wancheng is occupied by Zhang Xiu, for Xuchang, it is like a fish in the throat, I intend to raise troops to crusade against Zhang Xiu, do you have any objections?" ”

Xun Yuyan, the first staff member, said: "Zhang Xiu is the old department of Liangzhou, and he can use this as a name to crusade!" If you get Wancheng, Xuchang will be safe! ”

Everyone else also seconded the proposal, not that everyone was warlike, but that Wancheng was next to Xuchang, and if they wanted to raise troops to attack, it would only be a few days. Moreover, Wancheng Zhang Xiu once tried to rob the emperor, and the court will be wary!
