After Zhang Bao finished reorganizing the army in Qingzhou, he was worried about Yuan Shao's retaliation, so he made a careful defensive posture. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info knew that Zhang Bao had waited for half a month, but he didn't get the slightest news that Yuan Shao had sent troops to come, so he was worried for a while.

Zhang Bao then summoned Chen Gong and said, "Military Division, you said that Yuan Shao suffered such a big loss, why didn't he move?" Is he really not coming? Isn't he afraid that the princes of the world will laugh at him? ”

Chen Gong frowned when he heard this, stroked his little beard and said, "Lord, if Yuan Shao comes, we can deal with it!" But Yuan Shao didn't come, and his subordinates couldn't see the reason for it for the time being. But his subordinates are sure of one thing: Yuan Shao will never suffer such a big loss and ignore it, thinking that there must be something strange in it. ”

Zhang Bao nodded when he heard this: "What the military advisor said is extremely true! I also smelled a strong smell of conspiracy, but I couldn't guess what Yuan Shao's plan was. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he silently got up and paced back and forth in the room. Seeing this, Zhang Bao didn't bother him. After half a pillar of incense, Chen Gong suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Lord, in fact, there is no need for us to guess Yuan Shao's intentions. No matter what his plot is, as long as we are prepared, any conspiracy is useless. It was impossible for him to steal Qingzhou. ”

"Hehehe! What the military advisor said is extremely true! It seems that I am too worried, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we just need to step up the training of soldiers and soldiers, and continue to increase our strength, and the rest do not need to be afraid. Zhang Bao replied with a smile.

Chen Gong nodded: "What the lord said is reasonable. The subordinate continued to raise grain and buy horses. Since there will definitely be war in the future, it is better for us to prepare more. ”

Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Then it's hard Brother Chen!" ”

Chen Gong then gave Zhang Bao a fist salute, and then turned to leave.

After Chen Gong left, Zhang Bao began to close his eyes and look at his farm. It is now November 190, and thirty-seven groups of land have been opened up on the farm. And thirty-one more horses matured.

After Zhang Bao saw the current situation of the farm, he decided to select a group of personal guards in the whole army. Because after this war and the expansion of the army, coupled with the increase in farm production, the number of Zhang's personal guards was obviously insufficient. Zhang Bao decided to increase the number of Zhang family's guards to 1,500.

After this war, Zhang Bao found that he could not only equip himself with personal guards, but also the generals under his command must also be equipped with personal guards, otherwise the Zhang family's personal guards would not be enough during the war.

After Zhang Bao made a decision, the third brother Hou said, "Hou Da, you have worked hard." You will send seven men to each of the six counties. Let the generals choose their own guards from under their command, and each general will choose a hundred. In addition, tell the generals to let them also select a thousand guards for themselves by the way. When you're done, you bring your hands back. The old man and the new person brought it back together. Those who were sent down to be the chief of a hundred did not move. ”

"Yes!" The three brothers of Hou Da clenched their fists together to receive their lives.

After the third brother Hou left, Zhang Bao began to think about what to do next: "If Yuan Shao doesn't come to take revenge, then I will definitely have to find a way to expand my territory." However, the soldiers and horses have not been trained yet, so they can only wait for next summer's harvest. If I expand my territory, I can only expand to Yanzhou at present. Yanzhou ......"

"Not good!" Zhang Bao suddenly stood up and said. He suddenly thought that Yanzhou in history was occupied by Cao Cao.

"What to do? Once Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, how could he enter the Central Plains? But what can I do now? Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, did not offend himself, if he forcibly sent troops, he would definitely be despised by the princes of the world! Can't do that! And I don't have the strength to do that right now! Zhang Bao muttered to himself.

He thought about it for a while and didn't come up with how to restrict Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou: "Forget it!" Since you can't stop Cao Cao, let him go. Cao Cao, a strong enemy, has to face it himself! ”

After Zhang Bao gave up the idea of preventing Cao Cao from entering Yanzhou, he naturally thought of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "I remember that in history, after Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, he was killed by Situ Wang Yun and Lu Bu soon after, and then Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao and Guo Yan caused trouble in Chang'an, and Emperor Xian found an opportunity to flee south to Luoyang. I wonder if there are any good opportunities in this? ”

As a prophet, Zhang Bao always wants to maximize his own interests. He thought of Dong Zhuo and Emperor Xian, so he began to think about what he had to do in the middle.

"That's right! Dedication to the emperor is the biggest benefit! If I can sneak into Chang'an, and then find an opportunity to invite Emperor Xian to Qingzhou, won't I be the one who will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future? Also, if I can take the opportunity to subdue the Xiliang Army, then do I still have to worry about Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding in the future? Right! Chang'an I have to go! I can't afford to waste a great opportunity! Where the water is muddy, I have to go, and only in this way can I get the most benefit. Hey, hey, hey......" Zhang Bao said with a grin.

After Zhang Bao made a decision, he began to plan for Chang'anxing.

Half a month later, Hou Da and others completed the task assigned by Zhang Bao. The guards of the Zhang family scattered all over the country were concentrated in Dongping Lingcheng. With the addition of 700 newly recruited, the whole number of 1,500 people is complete.

Zhang Bao ordered Li San, the chief of the personal guard, to train the new personal guard, and he himself began to conduct special training in Qingzhou with 43 special combat personnel. Zhang Bao believes that going to Chang'an is extremely dangerous, and he must improve the ability of the special combat team again before he can go. At the same time, Zhang Bao also took the opportunity to take a look at the governance ability of the generals under his command one by one.

Zhang Bao came to Qiguo County first, and found that Hua Xiong was only in charge of training soldiers and never took care of people's livelihood matters, so he found Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong was very surprised when he saw Zhang Bao suddenly arrive with a special combat team, and hurriedly invited Zhang Bao into his marshal's mansion: "Lord, I don't know what you have to order?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao pointed at Hua Xiong and said, "General Hua, you must know that you are now the Taishou of Qi County, not a general who leads troops to fight. Although I ordered you to strengthen the training of soldiers, you can't let political affairs go unattended, right? By doing so, you are simply failing my trust and trust in you. ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Lord, in fact, my subordinates have long wanted to be this Taishou. The subordinates really only want to be generals. If you let your subordinates be Taishou, you are using the wrong person, and your subordinates are not this piece of material at all. ”

Zhang Bao looked at Hua Xiong's pouting and blinked and said, "You are still reasonable!" ”

Hua Xiong looked righteous when he heard this.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao had no choice but to dissipate his anger, comforted himself, and then said slowly: "Okay, General Hua, I know your thoughts." When I go back, I will let Sun Lianyun be this Taishou, and you will only be responsible for leading the troops. But you have to cooperate with Sun Taishou well, and you must not embarrass him. ”

"Obey the Lord! Thank you for your understanding of your subordinates. Hua Xiong smiled and hugged his fists, looking relieved.

Zhang Bao was speechless when he saw this, he thought of his plan to go west, so he looked at Hua Xiong and said: "Originally, I had an important matter to discuss with you, but you made me so angry that I almost forgot about it." ”

Hua Xiong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he clenched his fists and said, "My lord, forgive me, my subordinates are wrong!" Your subordinates know that you won't be able to find subordinates. The lord said that as long as his subordinates can do it, he will do his best. ”

Zhang Bao looked at Huaxiong's hippie smiling face, and said with a slight smile: "I plan to let you send some capable subordinates back to the Xiliang Army and lurk on Dong Zhuo's side, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Bao once thought about letting Hua Xiong go directly, but he considered that Hua Xiong, as the main general, had already participated in the Battle of Qingji as his own general. Let Hua Xiong return to the Xiliang Army, it is purely to enter the ghost gate, which is why there is such a question.

How did Hua Xiong freeze directly when he heard this, and then he slowly shook his head and said: "Lord, the brothers, as the personal guards of his subordinates, are all warrior-like existences in the Xiliang Army, and many people know them, and it is definitely not okay to send them back to be undercover." I don't know what the lord is planning, maybe there is a better way to say it to his subordinates. ”

Zhang Bao blinked and smiled when he heard this: "General Hua, it's like this. I see that the Xiliang brothers under your command are all very good at kung fu, so I want to find more such brothers for you. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Hua Xiong nodded when he heard this: "It turns out that the lord wants to collect more Xiliang Iron Horses. But those Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command may not be willing to come here. Unless the lord can take Liangzhou. And then you can take them wherever you want. ”

Zhang Bao patted his forehead when he heard the words and said, "General Hua, I can't even stand on Qingzhou now, how can I take care of the distant Liangzhou." I want to train a group of Liangzhou legions now. Because I predicted that there was about to be a big mess on Dong Zhuo's side, I had this plan. ”

Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Bao in shock when he heard this: "What the lord said is true? I don't know what a mess it is? ”

Zhang Bao thought for a while and said, "Dong Zhuo will definitely die!" The contradictions between Lu Bu and the other generals also appeared, and the Xiliang Army would be a mess. ”

Hua Xiong took a breath of cold air when he heard this, and then he looked at Zhang Bao in shock: "What the lord said is too unbelievable!" ”

Zhang Bao was directly speechless: "General Hua, how can I joke about such a big thing!" You just say can you help me? ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiong pondered for a moment and said, "If what the lord said is true, then there is a perfect way for his subordinates. Lord, since Dong Zhuo went south, Liangzhou has been in a state of emptiness. If the subordinates can take the brothers back to Liangzhou while the chaos is in chaos, the subordinates will definitely be able to help the lord take Liangzhou. ”

"Take Liangzhou?" Zhang Bao shook his head slightly when he heard this, because he knew that there was another fierce general in Liangzhou-Ma Chao. If Huaxiong returns to Liangzhou like this, he will most likely be killed by Ma Teng and his son.

Hua Xiong saw Zhang Bao shaking his head, and stopped saying anything at the moment. Zhang Bao looked at Hua Xiong and said, "General Hua, you Liangzhou talents are numerous!" It's not that I don't believe you, but Liangzhou Tieqi is really good! I'm worried about you. In this way, you take a thousand brothers to sneak back to Liangzhou, bring more gold, and find a way to recruit 30,000 young and strong iron horsemen from Liangzhou for me. Whether they are novices or veterans under Dong Zhuo, as long as they are willing to come to Qingzhou with you to develop, I welcome them, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiong hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord, my subordinates have the confidence to recruit 50,000 Liangzhou Iron Horsemen for Lord. ”

Zhang Bao smiled with satisfaction when he heard this: "General Hua, take a long-term view. It doesn't matter if it's 30,000 or 50,000, these people are under your personal command. I will definitely lead you back to Liangzhou in the future. You prepare early, and when Sun Lianyun arrives, you will be familiar with the situation here before you leave. It is estimated that even if there is a riot on Dong Zhuo's side, it will take about a year and a half, and you have a bottom in your heart. At that time, you don't care if I'm not there, you can leave after you say hello to Sun Lianyun, you don't need to explain to others, I will inform Sun Lianyun in advance. ”

"Thank you for your trust! Subordinates receive orders! Hua Xiong hugged his fists excitedly.
