Zhang Xiu's words were like a huge stone thrown into the calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Except for Jia Xu, everyone didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would suddenly do this.

As Zhang Xiu said, the title of General Jianzhong and the title of Marquis of Xuanwei are in the name of Zhang Xiu's command of the entire Nanyang County.

It is a symbol of Zhang Xiu's status as a prince.

Now, it is to be handed over to Chen Sheng, coupled with what Zhang Xiu said before, the meaning of passing on the throne is already very obvious.

You must know that the change of the master of a force, whether this force is as big as Cao Ying, who has several states, or Jiang Guang, there are only five cities, within the force, it will set off monstrous waves.

The power of Nanyang County, of course, is also the same.

However, the strange thing is that Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, Qian Chong and other generals, after a short period of turmoil, actually calmed down, and even a little happy.

Rejoice, yes, rejoice.

For generals such as Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, and Qian Chong, Zhang Xiu is a very good general, he is sympathetic to the generals, cherishes the soldiers, and is worthy of respect. Therefore, Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, Qian Chong and others all love Zhang Xiu very much.

However, Hu Che'er and others had to deny that Zhang Xiu was not a good lord. At least, compared to Chen Sheng, he is indeed not a good lord.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about this passage, I saw that Chen Sheng won battles again and again, and killed Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army. And what about Zhang Xiu? Not only did he not win the battle, but he was also ambushed.

Although it is said that in the battle of Zhongfu that night, Hu Che'er, Qian Chong, and Chen Feng all followed, and they also agreed to save Chen Sheng.

But the battle was lost, that's a fact.

This is a dereliction of duty as a lord.

Not only that, Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, and Qian Chong are relatively straightforward and loyal characters. And the rest of the Xiliang generals have a little selfishness.

Under Zhang Xiu, their elite soldiers were strong, but their troops were weak. There is such a prosperous city as Wancheng, but there is only a pitiful bit of territory.

Therefore, some generals are waiting for death in their hearts, and have little hope for the future.

However, Chen Sheng was able to quickly expand his power, which made the hearts of some Xiliang generals full of enthusiasm for Chen Sheng.

Therefore, the generals were surprised by Zhang Xiu's words, but they were a little happy. However, in the end, Hu Che'er and the three of them are also loyal and courageous.

After a moment of joy, Hu Che'er blamed himself.

"I have been favored by the general, how can I have such thoughts?" Thinking about it, Hu Che'er hurriedly saluted and said, "General, your condition has improved now, don't think nonsense." ”

In Hu Che'er's mind, Zhang Xiu was cranky and thought that he couldn't do it, so he decided to pass on the throne.

"Yes, the general should think twice."

"I believe that with the general's physique, he will get better soon."

Qian Chong and Chen Feng also persuaded one after another.

Jia Xu, as well as some generals, remained silent.

The attitude of Hu Che'er, Chen Feng, and Qian Chong made Zhang Xiu very pleased, but Zhang Xiu would not change his mind because of this.

This matter is the result of Zhang Xiu's careful consideration.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu was very difficult, but shook his head very firmly, and said: "You don't need to say much, my decision has been made." ”

Saying that, Zhang Xiu sighed at Hu Che'er and the three of them very seriously: "I recognize one thing clearly, that is, Nanyang County will become weaker and weaker under my hands." When the time comes, there will be only one result, and then it will be in ashes. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiu's face showed a little more brilliance, he looked up at Chen Sheng and said, "But Ziwei is different, his talent is ten times better than mine." The development of Nanyang is more than enough. ”

Zhang Xiu's words made Hu Che'er and the three of them have no words to refute. Zhang Xiu was bent on abdicating and letting Xian, and Zhang Xiu himself really couldn't do it.

Moreover, he is still seriously ill.

It seems that everything is already a foregone conclusion.

No one cared about Chen Sheng's feelings, because everyone felt that since Zhang Xiu could decisively delegate power and the army supported Chen Sheng, there was no reason why Chen Sheng would not accept the thirteen county towns of Nanyang County and the thirteen cities of Liu Pi in Runan, such a not weak force.

But the ending was greatly unexpected by everyone.

"I refuse." Chen Sheng said.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of most people, Chen Sheng said these three words. The few remaining people refer to the natural Jia Xu. Jia Xu is calm by nature, and he rarely shows a dumbfounded expression.

However, even so, Jia Xu's eyes were slightly open, and the surprise in his eyes flashed.

Anyway, everyone couldn't understand why Chen Sheng would give up such a great opportunity.

Why? It couldn't be easier.

Is Chen Sheng the kind of person who is ungrateful? Of course not, otherwise in Guo Tu's conspiracy, Chen Sheng took advantage of the situation to seize Wancheng, and now he is the lord of Nanyang.

And this time, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals jointly asked for a meeting, asking Chen Sheng to be the master of Nanyang, and not to let Zhang Xiu, a general, occupy Nanyang again.

At most, Chen Sheng was awkward about Zhang Xiu, but he never wavered. After hearing the news that Zhang Xiu was seriously ill, Chen Sheng rushed to visit Zhang Xiu.

In a word, Zhang Xiu is still here now, and that is because Chen Sheng is unwilling to be treacherous.

Others laugh at Chen Sheng's pedantic, or Chen Sheng's woman's kindness. This is the persistence and morality in Chen Sheng's heart.

Whoever humiliates me in every way, I will repay it in every way. Whoever gives me the grace of a drop of water, I will repay it with a spring, and that's it.

Since Chen Sheng is such a person, then naturally he can't take advantage of others.

Now Zhang Xiu is seriously ill and has made such a decision, passing the position of the lord of Nanyang, the title of General Jianzhong and Marquis of Xuanwei to Chen Sheng.

This is a very correct decision in Zhang Xiu's view, but in Chen Sheng's view, it is to take advantage of others' danger.

My brother is seriously ill now, if he accepts the position of the lord of Nanyang with peace of mind, what does it mean to be with the beast?

It is true that Chen Sheng also knows that it is really inappropriate for Zhang Xiu to be the master. Zhang Xiu can pass the throne to him, and he can also accept it as a matter of honor.

Develop Nanyang to counter Cao Ying.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, Zhang Xiu is healthy, conscious, and truly after thinking twice. If Zhang Xiu had made the decision after that, Chen Sheng would have taken it seriously.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiu's decision when she was seriously ill may have a certain deviation. Perhaps, it's just a dying pass.

How could Chen Sheng be at ease at such a time?

Chen Sheng couldn't do this kind of thing.

And at this moment, Chen Sheng also had something to say. I saw him exhale softly, opened his mouth and saluted Zhang Xiu seriously, and said, "Brother is gracious, junior brother is grateful." But I'm afraid I'm going to live up to my brother's expectations. ”

"Why?" Seeing Chen Sheng's repeated refusal, Zhang Xiu was slightly anxious and opened his mouth to ask. With this anxiety, Zhang Xiu's face suddenly became a little ugly, and even his breathing became short.

"Because I believe that my brother's condition will completely improve, and when my brother's condition improves, it will not be too late to talk about everything." Chen Sheng smiled a little and said.

Saying that, Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and put it on Zhang Xiu's chest to help Zhang Xiu smooth his breath, and said softly: "Brother, don't think too much, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Chen Sheng's words were actually not explained. Although the people present are all Xiliang people, it doesn't mean that they have no brains.

Chen Sheng is not shirking, let alone unable to accept Zhang Xiu's succession, but he must wait for Zhang Xiu's health to make correct judgments and decisions.

This is to make the most correct decision in the most correct situation.

It's hard, it's really hard.

"I didn't expect that." The waves in Jia Xu's heart were even deeper, even he didn't expect that Chen Sheng would actually refuse. This is not Guo Tu's conspiracy, this is Zhang Xiu's original intention.

Chen Sheng's acceptance of Nanyang is a legitimate thing.

And most of the generals support Chen Sheng, even if they don't support it, it can't be ruled out. It can be said that it is the land of Nanyang, and for Chen Sheng, there is no half-point obstacle.

But Chen Sheng still refused, because Zhang Xiu's decision may not have been his intention.

As for the rest, all of them have a feeling, that is, admiration.

Admire Chen Sheng's personality.

Just now, Hu Che'er, Qian Chong, and Chen Feng persuaded Zhang Xiu not to be impulsive. Among them, there is absolutely no contempt and reluctance to let Chen Sheng take power.

On the contrary, they admired Chen Sheng very much, Chen Sheng's training, war, were very good, and they had to be admired.

But for a while, they couldn't eliminate their loyalty to Zhang Xiu. Therefore, they persuaded Zhang Xiu one after another just now.

And now, the angry admiration in their hearts is faintly on par with their loyalty to Zhang Xiu.

In short, they admired Chen Sheng as a person, Chen Sheng's morality, and did not take advantage of it. This admiration, admiration, rises to a height.

If Zhang Xiu is really critically ill, he will die.

Chen Sheng's acceptance of the entire Nanyang force can be said to be effortless.

If you want to say that here now, the mood is the purest, but it is Zhang Xiu. The things that have been experienced in these years have made Zhang Xiu admit one thing.

Chen Sheng, the cousin, can definitely be trusted, unconditionally trusted.

And Chen Sheng's current decision, a word, made Zhang Xiu firmly believe in Chen Sheng's character. In other words, Zhang Xiu's more determined Yao passed the position to Chen Sheng.

Only a person like Chen Sheng, who has mastered the power of Nanyang, can develop Nanyang.

Only a person like Chen Sheng, who accepts the Nanyang forces, can treat him and his family consistently.

If Nanyang develops, it will be able to resist Cao Ying's attack and survive tenaciously. The happiness of the family makes Zhang Xiu very important.

"I'm serious, and I'm not going to change my mind." Therefore, Zhang Xiu's heart at this moment is very firm. However, Zhang Xiu also decided to fulfill Chen Sheng.

Just wait for the illness to be cured, and then continue the matter in front of the generals.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu's face showed a little smile, and even his breathing was much smoother. He looked at Chen Sheng, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, then wait until my brother is well." ”

"Brother wise." Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and saluted.

Except for Jia Xu, the rest of the people all smiled a little. They also hope that Zhang Xiu can be well, and even better, Zhang Xiu can stick to the judgment he made when he is healthy, so that Chen Sheng can become the lord of Nanyang.

However, what everyone didn't expect, Zhang Xiu never got better.
