At night, Huaxiong camp.

"I've seen General Hua and General Gao!"

Zhang Ji led the young general who stabbed Li Hammer to death with a shot in the white sun, walked into the hall, and saluted Hua Xiong on the main seat and Gao Shun on the left respectively, and then pointed to the young general and said: "This is the little nephew, Zhang Xiu!" ”

"Villain Zhang Xiu, meet the two generals!" Zhang Xiu knelt on one knee and said proudly, his voice was sonorous, obviously very courageous, and he had no stage fright.

"This son is really a lion and tiger, get up and speak!" Among the 20,000 troops, Hua Xiong is the boss, NO.1, Hua Xiong doesn't speak, Zhang Xiu is why the young hero doesn't dare to get up.

After Zhang Xiu stood up, Hua Xiong smiled, and then asked, "What is the position of the virtuous nephew now?" ”

"Back to the general, the villain is now the commander of the first army of my uncle's department!" Zhang Xiu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Captain?" Hua Xiong frowned, looked at Zhang Ji and said: "Ling nephew is such a young hero, you don't recommend it to the lord, but let him be a pro-soldier commander for you, isn't it overkill?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Young man, it's good to let him have more experience!" ”

Hua Xiong waved his hand, picked up the wine on the handsome case, drank it all, and then turned his head to look at Gao Shun, and said, "Xuan Dao, according to my observation today, this little guy's ability is not under you!" ”

"Oh? Really? Gao Shun was startled, stared at Hua Xiong to confirm, saw Hua Xiong nodded seriously, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "If this is the case, I will have to learn from my little brother in the future!" ”

The so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, even if Gao Shun's temperament is indifferent, he can't sit still at the moment!

"But with General Gao's orders, the villain is waiting at any time!" Young people, naturally full of enthusiasm, Zhang Xiu saw that Gao Shun's age was almost the same as himself, but the official position was above his uncle, Zhang Xiu was naturally not convinced.

Hua Xiong poured himself a full bottle of wine, glanced at Gao Shun, and immediately stared at Zhang Xiu, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Virtuous nephew, do you drink?" ”

Zhang Jigang wanted to open his mouth to block it for his nephew, but Zhang Xiu took the lead, stepped forward directly, and said, "Thank you for the wine!" ”

Zhang Xiu took the wine jue in Hua Xiong's hand without saying a word, raised his head and drank it all, and then ...... Then he coughed vigorously with his hands in his throat......

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Hua Xiong laughed unscrupulously and praised: "The virtuous nephew is arrogant, not bad, not bad, unlike some people, although his ability is not small, he doesn't even dare to drink a drop of wine!" ”

Gao Shun, the head of Huaxiong's left, heard this, only smiled bitterly, Huaxiong laughed at him in a roundabout way, how could he not hear it, but he really didn't know how to drink, I don't know how many times he explained, but Huaxiong just didn't listen, in Huaxiong's words, how can a manly man not drink.

In the end, he is a young man, and his heart is not very mature, and when Zhang Xiu heard Hua Xiong praise himself, he didn't care about coughing, and directly held his head high and stood in front of Hua Xiong like a javelin.

Hua Xiong, who provoked again, clapped his hands and laughed.

"This son killed Li Hammer today, the credit is not small, if it is not rewarded, it is unreasonable, Xuan Dao thinks that it is feasible to promote him to a military marquis?" After laughing, Hua Xiong went straight to the topic.

"Such a good talent, it can't be buried, it should be rewarded, everything can be ordered by the general!" Gao Shun nodded, merit must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished, this is the most basic requirement for a general.

"Good! Zhang Xiu listened to the order and transferred you to the post of Marquis of the Wind Battalion, and after the master of the guild, the general will definitely tell the lord and ask him to reward you separately! ”

Sealing Zhang Xiu as a military marquis is already Hua Xiong's greatest authority, but it is still the case, Hua Xiong still feels a little wronged Zhang Xiu.

At this time, Hua Xiong has long lost the depressed and violent mood of the day because he is afraid of being surpassed.

Following Dong Zhuo for many years, Huaxiong has few opponents, and in the past few years, he lived too comfortably in Hedong, and slowly Huaxiong began to slack off, and the speed of progress was not as good as before.

Today, I saw Zhang Xiu show his might, Hua Xiong felt a little threatened and ran away, but fortunately he met the Qiang ghost Ah Hu, which reminded Hua Xiong of his teenage self, and suddenly his fighting spirit was high, and the previous depression was swept away.

Joke! He is Huaxiong, how can he be afraid of being surpassed by a few juniors? Then he might as well find a piece of tofu and shoot himself to death!

He is magnificent, and he will know the heroes of the world and become famous all over the world!

"Tiger Head, don't hurry up and thank you!" Zhang Ji glanced at his nephew who was stunned there, and hated the reminder that iron does not become steel.

"Zhang Xiu worships General Xie Hua and General Gao!"

Zhang Xiu didn't expect Hua Xiong to give him such a high courtesy, and transferred him to the Swift Wind Battalion as a military marquis, and he was a little stunned for a while, you must know that the Swift Wind Battalion is an elite division under Hua Xiong, and many people can't get in if they want to.

Gao Shun on the side looked at the sly smile on Hua Xiong's face, and immediately reacted that he had been cheated by Hua Xiong.

Just now, Hua Xiong just asked him if it was okay to promote Zhang Xiu to a military marquis? Although Gao Shun was very interested in Zhang Xiu and wanted to receive it under his command, Gao Shun felt that Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji's nephew, and he was not good at winning people's love, so he let Hua Xiong pull him to his Wind Camp in a blink of an eye, and the most annoying thing was that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were quite happy and grateful.

Looking at Gao Shun's depressed appearance, Hua Xiong was also happy, and immediately said: "Xuandao, how are those women and children in the city arranged?" There is no Han people in this Beidi County now, and it is a little difficult for us to do it! ”

"The women and children are basically arranged, and the subordinate Li Dao is still arranged. In addition, the last general thought that we should immediately send a message to the lord, and inform the lord of the situation in the northland county, and ask the lord to decide. We can attack Yiju while waiting for news from the lord. Gao Shun thought for a while, and then made a suggestion.

"Hmm!" Hua Xiong nodded slowly, and said helplessly: "It's just like this, tomorrow I will leave Li Dao to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Niyang, and you and I will lead the troops to attack Yiju." ”

They are all military generals, and they are already incomprehensible to government affairs, and when they encounter such a situation at this moment, they are naturally at a loss.

…………

Jicheng.

After the song was dispersed, the guests returned, and Dong Zhuo paced into the courtyard with the strength of wine.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo has been on the expedition for three months, and it is already the height of summer, and the weather is still hot at night, and a cool breeze blows, and he suddenly feels relaxed and happy.

"Wenhe! Hua Xiong and Xu Rong have been on the expedition for more than a month, and there is no news yet, is there anything wrong with this? ”

Dong Zhuo stood proudly at the bottom of the stairs with his hands in his hands, raised his head and silently stared at the silver hook and curved blade in the sky, and only spoke leisurely after a long time.

Jia Xu, who had been following Dong Zhuo, heard this, stroked his beard with his hand, and pondered: "The kingdom of Anding County has small wisdom but no big plan, Xu Rong and Xu Huang, the two generals are calm and fruitful, and the kingdom is not to worry about, at the latest by the end of the year, Anding County will inevitably fall into the hands of the lord."

Although Song Yang of Longxi County established himself as the king of Heshou Ping Han, claiming to have 100,000 soldiers, Song Yang was arrogant, brave and unstrategic, and stubborn and self-serving, not enterprising, and not worried, General Huangfu was born in the general, familiar with the art of war, plus the assistance of the young general, leading 20,000 troops is enough to deal with. It's just that there are still many Di tribes in the two counties of Wudu in Longxi, and they are afraid that they will cause trouble, and the lord can lead the young general to the tribe of the Di people patriarch, and lure them with heavy profits, so that the Di people can raise troops to attack Song Yang, and after weakening the power of the Di people, the lord can subdue them in one fell swoop.

Han Sui of Jincheng County lost his troops before, and it was impossible to gather a large group of soldiers and horses in a short period of time, but Jincheng was close to Dangqiang, and Han Sui would definitely ask Dangqiang to send troops to help, but Gai Taishou was proficient in the art of war, calm as Mount Tai, and with 30,000 troops in hand, Han Sui would definitely not be pleased.

As for Northland, although it is a bit troublesome, it is not difficult.

Northland County fell into the hands of Xian Lingqiang decades ago, and when he was a child, he traveled all over Liangzhou and went to Northland County. It was barren for thousands of miles, almost all the Han people had fled to Guanzhong or other prefectures and counties, and although it was easy for General Huaxiong to capture the north, it was not easy to take it for himself, and even had several advantages and disadvantages. ”

"Pros and cons?" Dong Zhuo frowned and said suspiciously.

Jia Xu bowed his head and talked eloquently, "Xian Lingqiang was once the most warlike ethnic group among the Qiang people, and if you want to recapture Beidi County from Xian Lingqiang, you will have to pay a lot of losses, which is also a disadvantage.

Moreover, to occupy the northern land, in order to prevent the comeback of Xian Lingqiang, it is necessary to garrison a large army, and it must not be easily mobilized, which is also a disadvantage!

Moreover, there are no Han people in Beidi County, which means that there is no tax burden, and if it is a garrison, it will definitely consume a lot of grain, grass and military salaries, and these three disadvantages are also! ”

"What about Yili?" Dong Zhuo asked again.

"If the lord wants to achieve great things, the three auxiliary places of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Guanzhong must be in his hands, and the achievement of the trend of Western Qin back then is condescending and can level the world.

And the Northland County is adjacent to the annexation of the state, if our army occupies the Northland, it will be easy for him to enter the army and merge the state! ”
