Looking at Zhang Xiu's stunned expression, Liu Zhang took his hand and asked, "Senior brother, do you think that junior brother looks like the kind of mediocre master who unloads the mill and kills the donkey?" ”

"Not like that!" Zhang Xiu shook his head.

Liu Zhang asked again: "Then do you think the little brother is like the kind of person who doesn't miss the old love and is cruel and easy to kill?" ”

"Not like that!" Zhang Xiu shook her head again.

Liu Zhang said very sincerely: "The younger brother is neither like a mediocre master who unloads the mill and kills a donkey, nor is he like a cruel person who is easy to kill, what is the senior brother worried about?" Not to mention that I have the same friendship with my senior brother, even if my senior brother is only one of my generals, I have no reason to treat you badly. As for the 100,000 people in your hands, up to fifty or sixty years old, down to eleven or twelve years old, when they start a battle, they rush forward in a burst of hula, and they don't even have a formation, and they are not elite at all. Do you know that I defeated Guo Yan's army of 100,000 and only suffered 5,000 casualties! ”

"What?" Zhang Xiu was really stunned.

You must know that Zhang Ji's corporal is not as good as Guo Yan. Since Liu Zhang's defeat of Guo Yan only killed and wounded 5,000 soldiers, defeating Zhang Ji would not consume too many troops.

"General Zhang don't be surprised!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "Although the corporal under the command of Champion Hou is elite, it is not very easy to add!" ”

"He is worthy of being a poisoner, and he can see through the essence at a glance!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Indeed, my soldiers have undergone strict training, unlike other princes, everyone can be filled into the army!" However, behind me, three generals, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhao Lei, trained the new army for me to supplement the corporaries. Only the overlord composed of the Huns is more troublesome! ”

Jia Xu asked without hesitation: "Liangzhou is close to foreigners, and the general has no intention?" ”

"No rush for the time being!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Liangzhou Ma Teng is still loyal to the Han family, I don't want to embarrass him!" Besides, Li Dao and Guo Yan have already infringed on my interests, if I don't get rid of them, won't I let other princes look down on me? ”

"Not really!" Jia Xu smiled and asked, "Doesn't the general want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

"I don't want to!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "With my identity, if I coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it will not only make the world laugh, but even cause trouble." What's more, although Liu Xie is the emperor, he has no real name. There is no jade seal of the country, and the edict he issued is really an edict. In that case, I might as well let him re-ascend the throne, or at least he will cooperate with me!" ”

"King Hongnong is in Yizhou?" Jia Xu finally showed a look of surprise on his face.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Not only King Hongnong, but even Concubine Tang, Empress Dowager He, and Princess Wannian are here with me!" Including Li Ru, the first strategist under Dong Zhuo! ”

"Isn't Li Ru dead?" Zhang Xiu was surprised.

As a veteran of Dong Zhuojun, Zhang Ji has told Zhang Xiu more than once how powerful Li Ru is, and Zhang Xiu naturally knows Li Ru's ability.

"Not dead! There is only one condition for him to serve me, to protect Dong Zhuo's family! Liu Zhang smiled: "In fact, except for Li Ru, there are only some old and weak women and children in Dong Zhuo's family!" Why kill them all? ”

"Champion Hou Dadu, but not everyone thinks so!" Jia Xu smiled and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, you should be able to believe my words now!" As Li Ru, the champion Hou Shang can tolerate it, not to mention you and General Zhang Ji? ”

"Mr. Jia, don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely persuade my uncle to return to the champion Hou!" Zhang Xiu smiled: "In this case, let's go back first!" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "General Zhang, you and I must leave one person behind, otherwise how can we show sincerity?" ”

"This..."Zhang Xiu heard this, her eyes widened and she looked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "What Mr. Jia said is true, senior brother can go back with peace of mind, I will entertain Mr. Jia well." ”

"That's... I'll take my leave! Zhang Xiu took a deep look at Jia Xu and left Yangping Pass.

Others don't understand Jia Xu's thoughts, can Zhang Xiu still not understand? Anything that shows sincerity is a fool. Jia Xu was afraid of death in his life, and when he saw that Liu Zhang was powerful, he knew that Zhang Ji would not be Liu Zhang's opponent. In order to repay Zhang Ji's kindness, Jia Xu fought for Zhang Ji to find a way to live, and it was up to Zhang Ji to go or not. But Jia Xu would never tie his surname to Zhang Ji.

"Report!" As soon as Zhang Xiu left, Liu Zhang was about to contact Jia Xu about his feelings, and a small school rushed into the conference hall.

"Retire first!" Seeing that Liu Zhang had military affairs to deal with, Jia Xu naturally would not stay.

"Mr. Jia's willingness to stay shows that he is sincere! Since it's your own person, why avoid it? Liu Zhang turned his head to the little school and said, "According to the truth!" ”

"Lord Qiyu, and Lord Tian of the Prefecture asked for instructions, Gongsun Chan invaded Youzhou, and now he has come to Jixian County. Liu He, the son of Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou, asks for help from the lord! The little colonel half-knelt on the ground and finished the information in one breath.

"Liu Yu is a clan member of the Han family, so he can't help it!" Liu Zhang muttered: "Ordered Tian Feng to deal with this matter with full authority, and at the same time ensure the safety of the state, send troops to rescue Liu Yu." ”

"Champion Hou, why do you want to have a bad relationship with Gongsun Chan for Liu Yu?" Jia Xu felt that rescuing Liu Yu was not in Liu Zhang's interests.

"Some things don't have to be done for profit!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Liu Yu has a high reputation in Youzhou, if he can serve under my command, with my deterrence of Karasuma, coupled with his gentle policy, he may be able to integrate Karasuma into the Han nationality." ”

"Integrate Karasuma into the Han Chinese?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Zhang, with a trace of puzzlement and confusion on his face.

You must know that the ancient people dealt with foreign tribes by nothing more than slaughtering or subjugating them. As for assimilation and domination, they didn't even think about it. Isn't there a saying that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

"There are many ways to exterminate a people, but the best strategy is to massacre, often more and more. The best way to do this is to get along with the other person. It's not just a mixture, it's a unity of thought, lifestyle, behavior, and even outlook on life and values! Speaking what he thought in his heart, Liu Zhang naturally revealed a trace of confidence and domineering, which made Jia Xu feel broken.

"What is the outlook on life? Values? Although Jia Xu understood most of it, there were still some things he didn't understand.

Two modern words came out of nowhere, and it was normal for Jia Xu not to understand them. However, Liu Zhang didn't want to explain slowly, he thought for a while, and then smiled: "All in all, it is to let all foreign races integrate into the Han people, regard themselves as Han people, be proud of being Han people, and do everything according to the standards of Han people." ”

"But among the foreign races, there are still many people who are hostile to the Han people!" Jia Xu is a native of Wuwei Guzang, and there are not a few foreigners who come into contact with him. Although most of those foreigners yearn for the life of the Han people, there are still many people who are hostile to the Han people.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The easiest way to make a royal family, slap and give a sweet date!" Obedient, we let him be a Han and enjoy the treatment of a Han people. For foreigners who are hostile and hateful to the Han Chinese, then they can only use butcher knives! ”

Jia Xu was shocked, he didn't expect Liu Zhang's ambitions to be so ambitious. When other princes were still working hard to unify the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang was already thinking about how to clean up the foreign clans.

Seeing Jia Xu stunned, Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Jia, maybe others think that I want to be the king and the emperor, but what's the point of just being the king and the hegemon in the corner of the Han Dynasty?" Let Dahan survive forever, expand millions of miles for Dahan, and make Dahan always stand at the top of the world, which is the direction and goal of my efforts! I don't know Mr. Jia, would you like to help me? ”

Jia Xu is not a hot-blooded young man, and even he is still greedy for life and afraid of death, but he also wants to leave a name in history and be famous for eternity. After staring at Liu Zhang for a long time, Jia Xu suddenly stood up, bowed to the end and said, "I wish to make a modest contribution to the Lord!" ”

"Good!" Liu Zhang helped Jia Xu up and said: "With Mr. Jia's help, great things can be expected!" Dare to ask sir, Zhang Ji surrendered, but from the bottom of his heart? ”

"This..."Jia Xu asked in surprise: "Champion Hou doesn't believe Zhang Ji, but why... Is it for me? ”

Seeing Jia Xu's reaction, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Mr. Jia, if you get a million heroes, it will be Zhang Xiu's deception, and I will admit it!" ”

"Champion Hou Zhenrenjie!" After sighing, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang Ji's nephew is a person who has no ambitions. They are truly surrendering! However, if the champion Hou wants to capture Guo Yan alive, he still needs to play a scene with them! ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "What is Mr. Jia's plan?" ”

"It's too good to say! It's just a counterattack! Jia Xu said with a smile: "Such a shallow plan can only deceive Li Dao and Guo Yan!" ”

Three days later, Zhang Ji led the army to join Guo Yan. However, looking at the troops brought by Zhang Ji, Guo Yan was a little dissatisfied, because Zhang Ji only brought 50,000 people.

"General Zhang, Liu Zhang is powerful, why did you bring 50,000 people?" Guo Yan is a rectum, and if he has anything to say, he will say it directly.

Zhang Ji shrugged his shoulders and said: "I also want the whole army to come, but Mr. Jia said that Ma Teng and Han Sui have made a move, and he wants my nephew Zhang Xiu to lead 50,000 troops to resist Ma and Han!" ”

Hearing that it was Jia Xu's opinion, Guo Yan was relieved. But after thinking about it, Guo Yan couldn't help asking: "That... Mr. Jia didn't come? ”

"Didn't come!" Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Mr. Jia said that with General Guo's ability, he will definitely be able to conquer Yangping Pass and defeat Champion Hou!" ”

"Mr. Jia really said that?" Guo Yan's face was full of joy when he heard this. But he didn't think that he originally had an army of 100,000, but he couldn't defeat Liu Zhang, and now it's still 100,000, why does Jia Xu believe that he can defeat Liu Zhang? However, this can't be blamed on Guo Yan, after all, he and Li Wei were able to master Chang'an entirely because of Jia Xu's contributions.

With Zhang Ji's proclamation, Guo Yan put his mind at ease, he commanded an army of 100,000 and came to Yangping Pass again, but this time he was much more cautious!

"Guo Aduo, are you here to die again?" The two armies faced each other, and Liu Zhang looked at Guo Yan with a cold face.

"Liu Jiyu, I was careless last time, and this time I have General Zhang Ji to help, see how you beat me!" Guo Yan looked proud, no matter how he said it, he was also praised by Jia Xu, and he couldn't lose face.

"Really?" Looking at Zhang Ji beside Guo Yan, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zhang's mouth.

Suddenly, Guo Yan felt chills all over his body, as if something danger was coming. As a military general, there is often something similar to a sixth sense, and Guo Yan believes in his own feelings. However, Guo Yan didn't have time to find the source of this danger, because Liu Zhang had already led his troops to rush up!
