Nanyang County, where Yuan Shujun was stationed.

As soon as the horse landed in front of the camp, General Sun Jian immediately dismounted, handed the reins to the soldiers next to him, and asked, "Where is General Yuan?" "The general is in the big tent of the Chinese army at the moment." After receiving the soldier's answer, Sun Jian didn't say a word, pressed his saber in his hand, and strode towards a big tent in front of him. "Whoa!" The tent door opened, and Sun Jian walked in.

More than a dozen generals had gathered in the tent, and they were standing under the tent, not saying a word, as if they were waiting for the arrangement of the general Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu sat in front of the handsome case in the middle, looked up and saw Sun Jian coming in, and immediately waved his hand, asking the other generals to retreat first.

"Haha, Wentai, come forward!" Yuan Shu closed the bamboo slip in front of the case and beckoned to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian, Ziwentai.

Sun Jian responded, took a few steps forward, bowed his hand to Yuan Shu, and asked, "I don't know why the general urgently summoned the last general overnight?" Yuan Shu nodded, didn't answer in a hurry, just said: "Speaking of which, I asked Wentai to guard Luyang for some days, I don't know if there is any movement in Yangcheng?" "Yangcheng is in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and Luyang is in Nanyang County, and the two are not far apart. Sun Jian heard it and said: "Since the last time we sent troops to attack Yangcheng Zhou Ang's department, it was not intended to be blocked by Chen Nuo, and we waited for the lost troops to turn back and return, and the last general has been stationed in Luyang on the order of the general to monitor the men and horses of Yangcheng. Speaking of which, it has been several months, and so far, there has been no major movement in the Yangcheng area...... This, the general suddenly asked about Yangcheng, could it be because Chen Nuodong went to Qingzhou, and the general wanted to take advantage of this time to attack Zhou Ang again? ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "We have our own defeat last time, not to mention the loss of Gongsun Yue, Wentai, your people and horses are also a small loss." Although speaking of which, now that Chen Nuo is not in Yanshi, and Yangcheng Zhou Ang is isolated, it is indeed a good time for me to attack Yangcheng at this time. However, after all, the pattern of Yangcheng is too small, and it is not interesting to think that even if it is defeated......

"Yangcheng has a small pattern?"

Sun Jian frowned: "General, do you mean that you disdain to attack Yangcheng?" So that's all for the previous feud? Yuan Shu smiled: "Wentai don't be in a hurry, the humiliation of the first battle in Yangcheng, can I Yuan Shuyan forget it?" However, compared to Yangcheng, we should take a more long-term view, rather than staring at the little land in Yangcheng. Sun Jian said in his heart: "Yuan Highway sent troops to attack Yangcheng from time to time, I don't think it's for any pattern problem, it's not for face, I want to fight with his brother Yuan Benchu?" What's wrong with him today, now I don't want to take a great opportunity, but I want to take a long-term view. Farsighted...... What does he mean by Jingzhou? ”

Sun Jian's eyes flashed, and he was immediately caught by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu smiled, nodded to him, and said: "Although the land of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Liu Jingsheng now, Liu Jingsheng has not been based in Jingzhou for a long time at this time, and several counties in Changsha and Wuling in the north are not subject to Liu Jingsheng's control, and there are several rebels. A few days ago, Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, raised troops and announced his separation from Liu Jingsheng. Now, Liu Jingsheng has dispatched tens of thousands of horses from Xiangyang to Changsha to quell the rebellion. Hey, Wentai, do you understand what I'm talking about? ”

Sun Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Jingsheng only has tens of thousands of people in his hands, and now that he has transferred these, there shouldn't be much left." Does the general mean that while his Xiangyang troops are empty, we will take the opportunity to seize the land of Jingzhou? Yuan Shu smiled, nodded, and asked, "Then Wentai, what do you think?" Sun Jian frowned slightly, and said: "Jingzhou is a rich land, with the least war, if you can take the opportunity to take it, it can be fundamental." The general intends to Jingzhou, and the last general should be the vanguard. When Yuan Shu heard this, he smiled and said, "I also had the intention to transfer Wentai back from the Luyang front." It's just that whether this Jingzhou can be won or not depends on Wentai. Wentai, this burden is not light, are you willing to bear it? Sun Jian straightened his body and arched his hand: "The general has orders, how can the last general not obey his orders?" ”

"Good!"

Yuan Shu slapped his palm and said: "This time, Wentai sent troops to Jingzhou, and Shudang dispatched tens of thousands of people to cooperate with Wentai to establish this skill!" "General Xie!" Sun Jian listened to some of Yuan Shu's arrangements again, and before he could retreat, a person outside the tent presented a secret letter: "It was sent by Wenhou Lu Bu." ”

"Lu Bu? Three surnamed family slave Lu Bu? ”

Yuan Shu opened the letter and glanced at it, snorted, threw the letter on the side of the case, and ignored it. Sun Jian said curiously: "I heard that when the Xiliang rebels attacked Chang'an, Lu Bu opened the city and ran out of Chang'an, presumably he had nowhere to go at this time, he wrote to the general at this time, didn't he beg the general to take him in?" Yuan Shu said: "This three-surnamed slave, killed Ding Jianyang and killed Dong Zhongying, whoever left him was unlucky, he still has the face to beg me at this time, isn't this harmful to me?" Hmph, Wentai, you don't know, in order to beg me to take him in, this guy actually told me about Dong Zhongying's killing of my uncle's family in the past. said that Dong Thief killed my uncle, and now he has helped me kill Dong Thief, because he is kind to me and begs me to take him in. Haha, just these three family slaves, dare to say such a big thing? He thought that if he killed Dong Zhongying, he would be kind to me and let me take him in, he was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival! ”

Sun Jian said: "This ...... General, aren't we going to attack Jingzhou now, this is the time to employ people, it is better to take Lu Bu in, you see ......" He didn't finish speaking, Yuan Shu's eyes were together: "No, no!" How can I keep this misfortune by my side, doesn't that mean that I Yuan Shu's life? He didn't listen to Sun Jian's plea, and called the sender: "Go, let the secretary's office reply to Lu Bu, let Lu Bu go back and forth, Hugh must step into my martial arts for half a step, otherwise Hugh blames me Yuan Shu is not welcome!" ”

"No!"

The man went down. Sun Jian persuaded Yuan Shu, but it was just a smooth sentence, and seeing that Yuan Shu did not agree, he did not say anything more.

……

……

"What! Yuan Shu Pifu! I, Wen Hou, decided to take refuge in you because I could afford you, and if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, but I still threaten Ben Hou not to step into Wuguan for half a step! Hmph, am I Lu Bu scared? "Lu Bu came from Shaanxi County, stopped under Wuguan, and submitted a letter to Yuan Shu, thinking that Yuan Shu was bound to accept it, where did he think of it...... Where did you think that Yuan Shu would do this. Lu Bu was also indignant, crushed the silk book, pulled out his halberd, and shouted: "Capture Wuguan with me, and capture Yuan Shupifu alive to vent my hatred!" ”

His words were loud, but he answered...... But there were few answers.

"Ahem, ahem~"

The subordinate general Wei Xu stepped forward and said to Lu Bu: "That...... Wenhou, the city of Wuguan is tall, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses of Yuan Shujun's army, and we are afraid of inconvenience when we forcibly capture Wuguan. Besides, I'll wait for the ...... Ahem, I waited for this way from Shaanxi County, and was chased by the thief Li Meng for several miles, and finally got out of trouble, and now there are only hundreds of people following behind Wen Hou. It is really unwise to use these hundreds of men and horses to attack a fortified city like Wuguan. What's more, we are here to beg others, and if they don't agree, then that's it, if we make another enemy, it will be tantamount to increasing our troubles. ”

General Hao Meng and others also said: "What General Wei said is good, we are here to capture Wuguan, if we can't capture it for a long time, the soldiers will be tired, and there will be no food and grass." If Li Mengyi of Shaanxi County heard that he was attacking from behind us at this time, he would have lost his ground and regretted it. When Lu Bu heard this, his face was embarrassed and flushed, he loosened the halberd in his hand, got off the horse, and said to the left and right: "Ben Hou Yan can not know this truth, but Ben Hou is really angry, just talk about it, who will have nothing to do to attack what martial arts?" ”

"Whew!"

When the generals heard this, they were all relieved, but fortunately, Lu Bu just said that if he wanted to talk about it, he was afraid that they would not know how to die. Cheng Lian, a general, stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Since Yuan Highway does not accept Wen Hou, what will Wen Hou want to do next?" "Yes? I wonder if Wen Hou has thought about it? All the generals looked at Lu Bu with blank eyes. Perhaps, Lu Bu's words at this time can determine their way out in the future. Now that the road ahead is uncertain, of course they are worried.

Lu Bu frowned, threw the halberd to the soldier next to him, and he sat on the grass next to him, smiled, and asked left and right: "Is there wine?" The generals were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other, but Song Xian walked out from behind, untied a wine gourd from his waist, and held it in front of Lu Bu: "Yes, there is still half a pot of wine, Wen Hou, please!" Lu Bu took the flask, opened the stopper, and drank with his neck tilted. When the soldiers on the left and right saw it, they knew that Lu Bu had no idea for a while, and they didn't want to bother, so they dispersed.

Future...... The future is bleak!

Lu Bu raised his eyes to the sky, drank the wine one by one, and his mind was already in a mess. He thought it was ...... He thought that he killed Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Shu's uncle, so he indirectly avenged Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu naturally treated him with 'virtue'. However, how did he know that Yuan Shu actually didn't accept him...... This not only made him eat a closed door, but also lost face in front of his subordinates, which was a great blow to him.

If wine can intoxicate people and make people forget the distress in front of them, he would rather get drunk and rest.

"Canopy!" The wine in the jug was gone, and he threw the empty flask to the ground.

"Wine, Ben Hou wants wine, quickly bring wine to Ben Hou!"

Lu Bu sat on the ground, his body drooping like mud, and his mouth kept roaring to both sides. However, those generals in the distance were all stunned.

"Do you have any wine? If you have it, send it to Wen Hou quickly. ”

"There's a fart, I'm almost out of food, where is the wine?"

"But no, if you want to have wine, can you not give it away? Ay! ”……

Lu Bu didn't hear their words, he didn't care, he only opened his mouth to ask for wine: "Wine...... Wine ......" "Wine is coming!" A small wine jar was handed to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, looking at the person who handed the wine. The man smiled: "What is Wen Hou doing in a daze?" The cicada knew that Wen Hou liked wine the most, but she was afraid that there was no wine on the road, and Wen Hou couldn't eat it if she wanted to, so she specially treasured a jar. Why, Wen Hou didn't take it, did he not want to drink it, or did he want the cicada to open the altar for Wen Hou? ”

"Cicada ......" Lu Bu saw that it was all the beauty of Diao Chan.

Diao Chan smiled lightly, grabbed the wine jar back, gently patted the sealing mud, and handed the wine jar over again: "Wen Hou, are you satisfied?" ”

Smelling the aroma of wine at the end of his nose, Lu Bufang took his eyes back from Diao Chan, took the wine jar with one hand, and hugged Diao Chan's soft body into his arms with the other: "Cicada, you are so good, you know that you love me." Diao Chan smiled, fell softly into Lu Bu's arms, stroked Lu Bu's solid chest with his hand, and said: "Wen Hou, you are the master of the three armies, and your subordinates are waiting for you to make up your mind." Wen Hou, have you thought about it, where are you going to go? ”

Lu Bu shook his head, and took another long sip of wine.

Diao Chan frowned lightly and glanced up at Lu Bu. Seeing that Lu Bu had some wine stains on his beard, he reached out and wiped it off. Lu Bu took the opportunity to prick the stubble under her chin on her little face, Diao Chan giggled, reached out to support his chin, and said, "It's so itchy!" Lu Bu laughed, raised his head, and went to drink. Seeing that he didn't speak, Diao Chan hummed, and said: "Also, Wen Hou, I waited for me to come out of Chang'an, and there has been no basis, and if this continues, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate." At present, the investment in Yuan Highway has not been successful, and now Wen Hou, you don't come up with ideas to appease the hearts of the people, but you are afraid of ...... I'm afraid something big will happen. Wen Hou, have you listened to me? ”

Lu Bu drank even again and again, and ignored her.

"Wen Hou?"

Diao Chan raised his hand and directly pulled the stubble under Lu Bu's chin. Lu Bu was in pain, lowered his head along her little hand, stared at Diao Chan, and said strangely: "Why, Cicada also dares to touch this Hou Tiger beard?" As he spoke, he put down the wine jar and hugged Diao Chan on his thigh. Diao Chan smiled, and then said: "Wen Hou, let the cicadas come down, there are still many people here." If you don't let me go...... You tell the cicada first, have you thought about where to go? ”

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Why do you bother with these troubles?" It's really not good, Ben Hou will sneak away with you tonight, let's go and live a comfortable life, they let them worry about themselves. Diao Chan was slightly stunned, glanced at him with his eyebrows, and then sighed lightly: "Cicada wishes that Wen Hou would be like this, but Wen Hou is a big husband and has his own big career, so he won't think about facing Cicadas all day long." Cicadas don't ask for this, as long as Wen Hou is happy. Whatever Wen Hou says, the cicadas will do. ”

This night, Lu Bu couldn't sleep over and over.

"Who?"

Tonight, he returned to the army to patrol the night, he had just walked to the ravine with the soldiers, and suddenly heard a loud sound over there, and immediately shouted. There was a sound in the distance, because he was frightened by Cheng Lian, and he suddenly flew away. Rustle rustle! When Cheng Lian heard this, his brows furrowed, and he immediately shouted: "Stop, stop for me, chase!" ”

It was the sound of someone running, and there were more than one or two, and Cheng Lian led someone to chase after him.

The sound from this side also immediately alarmed the big tent. Lu Bu turned around, didn't have time to put on his clothes, walked out barefoot, and asked left and right, "What's going on over there?" At this time, he suddenly remembered what Diao Chan had told him during the day, Diao Chan said, at this time, people don't ask, if they can't be appeased, they are afraid that something big will happen. His eyes jumped, and he reflexively grabbed the halberd and walked all the way out. As soon as he moved, all the accounts were awakened one after another, and they all moved closer to Lu Bu's side.

"What happened?"

"I don't know!" ……

Everyone was confused, and they all looked at Lu Bu. Lu Buli was on the ground and didn't say a word. From time to time, someone came back with torches in front of them. "It's General Cheng Lian!" Cheng Lian took people and hurriedly walked to Lu Bu's side, and when he saw Lu Bu, he immediately bowed: "Wen Hou, these people want to defect overnight, and they were taken by the last general, please Wen Hou deal with it!" ”

"Want to escape?"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he glanced at the dozen or so people who were brought up in front of him. He was shaken, and anger rose. He can do things to kill Ding Yuan and kill Dong Zhuo, but he must not see his subordinates defecting. He lifted Fang Tian's halberd and looked at these people step by step: "Are you trying to betray me Lu Bu?!" Say, why? ”

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ……

"Die!"

Lu Bu didn't want to listen to their explanations at all, so he raised the halberd, croaked like chopping meat, and chopped these people to death in a row. There was a person who wanted to turn around and leave because he was frightened, but Lu Bu picked him up and stabbed him with a halberd from behind. The generals were silent together, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Lu Bu, put away the halberd, and shouted: "Today's things are not allowed to happen again, I, Lu Bu, have decided to take everyone to Yuan Benchu, Hebei, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Yuan Benchu?"

The generals glanced at each other: "This ...... Yuan Benchu ...... "Seeing Lu Busen's cold eyes, he didn't dare to say anything if he wanted to speak." Lu Bu snorted and said, "Since you have no opinions, then it's decided, let's disperse!" Lu Bu said, and turned around and asked Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cao Xing and others to come to his account to discuss the matter of going to Hebei. Lu Bu looked at the people under the tent and was speechless, the atmosphere was too stiff, he coughed and said: "Benhou suddenly decided to take refuge in Yuan Benchu, you must be strange in your hearts, why did I have this decision again, right?" In fact, in the current situation, Yuan Highway does not accept me, who else can I turn to? Thinking about it, it can only be a Yuan Benchu. ”

"The ......"

Wei continued to say: "Wen Hou! We also know that it is not easy for you to make this decision, Wen Hou's decision, of course, we have no opinion. However, Wen Hou, you suddenly decided to do this, which was really beyond my expectations, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. Putting aside Yuan Benchu himself, judging from our current situation, if we go over empty-handed, I am afraid that with Yuan Benchu's temper, he may not be willing to accept it. I don't know if Wen Hou ever thought of this? ”

In fact, there is nowhere to go, and it is great to have a place to live now. As for what they had been thinking about before, including the analysis of Yuan Shao's temper, they no longer paid attention to it now. An army, if it doesn't even have a place to live, will inevitably fluctuate, which is exactly what Diao Chan is worried about, and it is also the reason for those who defected. And now, since Lu Bu has made this decision, calmed the hearts of the army, and reassured them, of course they will not object. It's just that their target is Yuan Shao after all, and Yuan Shao prides himself on being a son-in-law, and has always wanted to save face. But...... But now that they are on the run, they can't even take out the wine on their bodies, and where can they afford this gift of entering the meeting, Wei Xu and the others naturally have to think carefully about Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded, and said, "Don't worry about this, have you forgotten that I still have this?" Lu Bu said, and took out two wooden boxes from his sleeve one after another. The crowd took a breath. Hao Meng said: "Wen Hou, this ...... Isn't this Chen Ranzhi's seal? Take it ...... "Take it out and use it for a fart." Everyone didn't say anything, and their eyes were full of the same doubts. Lu Bu laughed: "It's useless to take it, right?" But Ben Hou thinks it's very useful? You must not forget that Ben Hou had betrayed Chen Ranyi's affection and released his parents from Hewu before, if I returned this seal to him, would he not appreciate it? ”

"This ......"

The crowd looked at each other. Hou Cheng rolled his eyes and said: "Chen Ranzhi is a general in Hebei, and he has a pivotal role in front of Yuan Benchu, Wen Hou wants to intercede with Yuan Benchu through Chen Ranzhi, and then ask Yuan Benchu to stay as a general?" Lu Bu smiled, nodded and said, "Ben Hou thinks about it, only by doing this can we ensure that nothing goes wrong, what do you say?" ”

"Hmm! That's a great idea! Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded one after another.

Wei continued: "It is also a good idea to ask Yuan Benchu to accept us through Chen Ranzhi's request. But Wen Hou forgot that although Wen Hou was kind to Chen Ranzhi, Wen Hou had just offended Tianwang Zhai before this. Zhang Baiqi of Wangzhai on this day, I heard that the relationship with Chen Ranzhi is very unusual, if Chen Ranzhi heard about this, would he still be willing to help Wen Hou you at that time? ”

"Well, I almost forgot about it!" Everyone was reminded by Wei Xuyi, and the glimmer of hope just now dimmed again.

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, although Chen Ranzhi has a good relationship with Zhang Baiqi, how can he refuse to accept us for the sake of a Zhang Baiqi?" What's more, even if I have repaid my previous kindness, I still have his seal in my hand. When the time comes, hand over the seal letter to him, he will be grateful to Benhou, and he will not be embarrassed by Benhou, so you can rest assured. ”

Wei continued to say: "Anyway, I still need to pass through Tianwangzhai to go to Hebei, so it is better to show them a little favor at that time, and this matter will be revealed." Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "A small cottage, Ben Hou will fight it, what else can he do?" Let me show favor to a gang of bandits, wouldn't it ruin my reputation as a gentleman? This matter has been decided, and the sky is almost bright, so let's go down to arrange the meal, and get ready to leave after eating! ”

"No!" The crowd bowed and retreated.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and swept away the decadence of the day. Picking up the two seals on the case, looking at them, the more Lu Bu thought about it, the more proud he became, and felt that these two seals were really a godsend, otherwise, he really didn't know where to go.

In the next few days, Lu Bu came from Shaanxi County with his men and horses. When the Tanma of Shaanxi County heard the news, they thought that Lu Bu was going to capture Shaanxi County, and their faces changed. General Li Meng thought left and right, and something was wrong, and when he went to the city, he saw that Lu Bu's men and horses turned and looked east, so he let out a long breath. Whether his subordinates Li Meng wanted to send troops to pursue, Li Meng shook his head and said: "Lu Bu has become a lost dog, let it destroy itself, if you want to say that you are in a hurry, it is not good." ”

Lu Bu went straight from Shaanxi County, passed through the Green Forest Village and Tianwang Village, and did not stop all the way......

"You mean, it's Lu Bu's men and horses passing by?"

Back in Lei Heng, who was in the Green Forest Village, when he heard the news, his buttocks seemed to be smoking, and he stood up and was about to run outside the hall. Obediently, Lu Bu broke through his stockade before, but now he is finally gone, and there is no news after walking for half a month, it is hard to make him settle down, and his ass has not yet sat on the hot mat, and at this time, he heard that Lu Bu came back from heavy killing, can Lei Hengyan not be in a hurry? It's just that he was too anxious, didn't figure out the situation, stood up and left, which made the minions on both sides stunned.

"Uh, sir, where are you going?"

"! Now that Lu Bu's thieves are here, if I don't escape, when will I wait, are I waiting for him to kill? ”

"This ...... Lei is in charge, Lu Bu passed through my green forest village, and did not stay, it has passed. ”

"What...... Don't say it sooner! ”

Lei Heng snorted and sat back again, his little heart was still beating non-stop.

Similarly, when Lu Bu's people passed through Tianwangzhai, they were immediately informed by the eyeliners on the periphery of Tianwangzhai, and the news was sent to Zhang Baiqi......

Zhang Baiqi was hit in the chest by Lu Bu that day and almost died locally. Fortunately, Lu Bu's arrow missed a little and did not kill him immediately. He held out until after the war, when he collapsed due to excessive blood loss. In the years since, he has been recuperating on the couch. Of course, at the same time, people like Lei Heng, who came to his village for refuge, also said goodbye to Zhang Baiqi and returned to their respective territories.

Zhang Baiqi, when he heard the news that Lu Bu's people and horses were passing by, his face also changed: "What, Lu Bu is here again?" Isn't he gone? How is it again? How good is that? ”

"That...... Big leader, you don't have to worry, Lu Bu's men and horses just passed in front of the village, and did not come, but went straight to the east. ”

"I see!"

Zhang Baiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I've been injured these days, how is the situation in the village?" "Back to the big boss, everything is fine, the big boss can rest assured that he can recuperate from his injuries." Hearing this, Zhang Bai nodded before letting the man go down.

……

……

Lu Bu was defeated and went to Wuguan, this news had been sent to Chang'an Zhang Xiu's case long before that, Zhang Xiu heard it, and was naturally happy: "Okay, good!" As soon as Lu Bu left, the land of Shaanxi County was temporarily stable, and then, after a few days of rest, he should take care of the green forests in Guanzhong. ”

He has a prejudice against the green forest in Guanzhong, naturally because Zhang Baiqi once obeyed Chen Nuo's orders, and Chen Nuo is in harmony with the green forest in Guanzhong, this situation is of course unwilling for Zhang Xiu. It's just that at present, Chang'an is newly settled, and Shaanxi County has only re-stationed Li Meng's people, how easy is it to control the green forest forces in Guanzhong? Zhang Xiu thought that he just had this plan. At this time, he was summoning his great benefactor, Jia Xu.

It is certainly not an exaggeration to say that Jia Xu is his great benefactor. Come to think of it, if he hadn't been pushed behind him by his great benefactor, and let him take over the Xiliang people of Shaanxi County smoothly, how could he be where he is today? Now, his identity is different. In the past, he was just a junior general under his uncle Zhang Ji, and because his military position was too small, he had to use Jia Xu's side to ask for the captain's seal when Shaanxi County raised troops. At that time, he was a small school captain, and now, after shooting Lu Bu away and killing Wang Yun, his status has soared, and he is already a general of the chariot cavalry, the marquis of Pingyang, the captain of the leading division, and the fake festival. It can be said that under the Son of Heaven, he is the boss.

He suddenly gained such a lot of power, arrogance is inevitable, but he is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he still hasn't forgotten Jia Xu.

"Mr. Jia, look at you, I told you at the beginning, after I successfully raised the army, I will return the seal of the captain of this side to you, Mr. Jia. But sir, you can't keep holding this little seal of the school captain, right? I asked people to show you as Zuo Fengyi, you don't want it, give you a marquis, and you will also resign. You...... Aren't you embarrassing me in front of the world? I can enter Chang'an, Mr. should be the first meritorious, but when it comes to meritorious deeds, sir, you are always hiding, but how can this be done? That's it, today you have to be a marquis no matter what, and lead Zuo Feng Yi. ”

Zhang Xiu estimated that his mouth was dry, and he reluctantly let out cruel words.

Jia Xu stretched out his hand to brush his beard without hurry, and did not speak for a while.

Zhang Xiu frowned, and said, "Mr. Jia, what do you mean, do you have to force you with a knife?" Zhang Xiu had said that he had come to this point, so he stopped brushing his beard, looked at Zhang Xiu, and asked lightly: "Does the general have to come out to be this official?" Zhang Xiu's body moved, and he nodded again and again: "It's not me who forced Mr. Jia, it's really ...... I can't do without your help, Mr. Jia. Now that Chang'an is newly settled, all forces are ready to move, if there is no Mr. to come out and sit in town, embroidery is uneasy, please Mr. Jia, you will be fulfilled. ”

Jia Xu nodded: "Okay, I took this Zuo Feng Yi, but this marquis...... I can't bear it. ”

"Mr. Jia, you ...... Well, since Mr. Jia is insistent on this, embroidery is no longer reluctant. Zhang Xiu paused, and was about to say something else, when a soldier came in from outside the door and presented Zhang Xiu with a letter. Zhang Xiu opened it and looked at it twice, his face immediately darkened, and a fist fell on the wooden case, which shook the wooden case and rumbled. Jia Xu still glanced at Zhang Xiu silently and asked, "General, what's wrong?" What makes you, General, so angry? ”

"Oh!" Zhang Xiu seemed to react at this time, he glanced at Jia Xu, and hurriedly sent the letter on the case to Jia Xu to see, and said indignantly: "Ma Teng, this guy, without the edict of the imperial court, came to Chang'an with his own troops, saying that he was protecting the Son of Heaven." Hmph, isn't this a clear attempt to intimidate me Zhang Xiu? ”

Jia Xu read it lightly, then returned the letter, and then said: "Chang'an has just gone through a new turmoil, and it is understandable that Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng sent troops in this name at this time. I don't know what you're going to do with it, General? Zhang Xiu patted the case and said: "He is a rebellious act, I should protect the Son of Heaven and send troops to conquer, let him know that I Zhang Xiu is not incompetent!" When Jia Xu heard this, he laughed: "Ma Shoucheng has accumulated power in Liangzhou for many years, and his subordinates are all men who can recruit and fight habitually. ”

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Jia Xu: "Then Mr. Jia, do you mean that you won't let me send troops?" ”

Jia Xu said: "If the troops are sent, the general will naturally go out to lead the troops, then, after the general leads the troops out, who will manage this Chang'an?" Who can the general rest assured? General, don't forget, just after Chang'an, Prince Wang Yun's body is not cold, at this time he will move his whole body, if some people take advantage of the general's troops to make trouble behind their backs, does the general think he can deal with it? When Zhang Xiu heard this, he looked at Jia Xu with his eyes, and said for a long time: "Mr. Jia's words are reasonable, but the embroidery is reckless, please continue to speak." ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said, "I think the general should still have an impression of Zhenxi General Han Sui Han Wenyue, right?" "Han Sui?" Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned: "We are talking about Ma Teng, how can we talk about him?" Jia Xu smiled and said, "If the general hasn't forgotten, then he should have heard about Han Wenyue's friendship with Ma Shoucheng, right?" In the past, the two of them were friends, but the two of them eventually fell out because of the discord between their subordinates, and Han Wenyue killed Ma Shoucheng's wife. Now, Chang'an is newly determined, and Han Wenyue immediately rushed from Liangzhou to meet the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven named him the general of Zhenxi. You say, Ma Shoucheng, how would he react when he heard about it? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Xiu's eyes rolled and said: "If it were me, this former friend and now the enemy would be unconvinced. Jia Xu smiled: "That's such a truth, it's good that the general understands." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he didn't say anything. Zhang Xiu's body moved, and he glanced at Jia Xu: "What does Mr. Jia mean, Ma Teng brought troops from so far away, but he wanted to reach out to the court to ask for officials?" Jia Xu nodded: "Then what else does the general think?" ”

Zhang Xiu frowned: "It is already a big crime for him to send troops over without knowing it, and now he is threatening the imperial court in the name of defending the Son of Heaven and begging officials to do it, which is another big crime!" Hmph, how can I do what he wants! Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "The general still wants to send troops to recruit Ma Shoucheng at this time?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu, shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Since I know that my strength is insufficient, and the time has not yet come, it is not easy to attack, so these accounts can only be remembered for him temporarily, and he will always pay them back in the future! Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But ......"

Zhang Xiu said again: "However, we obviously know that his purpose is not good, do we really want to do what he wants?" Jia Xu said: "If you can give in for a temporary peace, why not?" Zhang Xiu nodded: "Then I know what to do." Since his great enemy, Han Sui, is already the general of Zhenxi, then I will give him ......" Zhang Xiu smiled slyly, "just give him a ...... General Zhengxi. ”

……

……

"What, General Zhengxi? Isn't this disgusting people? ”

Hearing the reward from the imperial court, Ma Chao first shouted and jumped up: "Hmph, he Zhang Xiu obviously knows that my family has a big enmity with Han Sui, he named Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi, and his father as the general of Zhengxi, two 'west', it sounds disgusting." No way! Father, this general of Zhengxi's father can never accept it! Ma Teng's brows also kept frowning, and said: "I waited for the troops to come, the purpose is just to ask for an official." Since he gave it all, what else can he say? So far, I can only accept it. ”

"Father's ......"

Ma Chao was angry, and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Ma Teng: "Don't say it, you have to calm down!" His eyes were staring fiercely ahead. After being stunned for a while, he said to Ma Chao: "Speaking of which, it is not in vain for my father to send troops to Chang'an this time, these days there are many people in Chang'an City who have secretly contacted my father, saying that they want to ......" whispered a few words to Ma Chao, Ma Chao listened, his eyes together, and said: "This ...... Is it true? They ......"

"Yes, that's what they all mean." Ma Teng smiled at Ma Chao, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Chao'er, Chao'er, we just need to endure this breath, what can't we get in the future?" Hmph, General Zhengxi, I'll let him General Zhengxi! But...... However, during this time, we have to wait quietly, and strive to stay in Chang'an for a few more days, and when the time is ripe, it will be the time for a great cause. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he was excited: "Haha, when the time comes, my father will be the general of the chariot, oh, no, when the time comes, my father will be the general, so I will go to disgust Zhang Xiu's thief." Hmph, when that day comes, Chao'er will definitely want him to know his mistake and tell him to regret his actions today! ”

……

……

Jia Xu reminded Zhang Xiu: "General, I don't know what you mean by letting Ma Shoucheng stay outside Chang'an City, why don't you let them go?" ”

Hearing Jia Xu's questioning, Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Jia, wouldn't it be better to keep him outside the city, put him under your own eyelids, and restrain him, why let him go?" Jia Xu shook his head: "This is indeed good, but have you ever thought about it, general, now that the people of Chang'an are undecided, and the forces in the DPRK and China are complicated, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be difficult at this time. ”

"This ......" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and when he thought of the state of affairs, he was scared into a cold sweat, and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Jia's timely reminder, Xiu would have almost dug his own grave." So how to deal with this matter, please ask my husband to teach me. ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said secretly: "Why is this guy in a hurry, he doesn't even have a brain." He was not easy to blame, and said: "At this time, the general can order Ma Shoucheng to lead his men and horses to garrison in Hewu on the grounds that the north is undecided, and set off on the same day, and not to stay outside Chang'an City. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he nodded again and again: "Just do what you said Mr. Jia!" ”

……

……

"What? The north side is undecided, let me go back to Shizhen to guard Yiwu? ”

Ma Teng was also stunned when he received the order from the imperial court. When Ma Chao heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "How can this work, my Ma family is in Huaili at all, how can I send us to Yiwu?" Father, this order is too strange, could it be that Zhang Xiu's thief found out about his father? Ma Teng shook his head and said: "If they find out, even if they don't dare to touch me, there will be movement in the court." This thing...... Hey, I originally thought that the imperial court was confused for a while, and we could stay here for a few more days, but now it seems that ......"

"No way!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said: "Now that it's all here, why should my father retreat, it's better to take Chang'an in one go!" Ma Teng immediately shook his head: "The imperial court is urging tightly, and my side has not been able to contact the eyeliner in time, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it in a hurry." Hmph, did he think he would transfer me to Yiwu? As long as I secretly contact these people, I can still send troops then. As for this time, let's be patient for the time being and go back to Tunyiwu! ”
