Shaanxi County, Niu Auxiliary Army Battalion.

Zhonglang put Niu Fu under the tent, and there was Jia Xu, the captain of the school, who was sitting.

There were two people in the tent, Niu Fu and Jia Xu, however, none of them spoke, and the tent was as silent as death. They don't speak, like, as if there is some kind of tacit understanding between them, but they are afraid that this tacit understanding will be broken as soon as they open their mouths.

They are waiting for news.

Hu Chi'er, it's been a few days since I sent it out, I don't know how things are going in Tianwangzhai?

"Ahem, ahem!"

Niu Fu in front of the handsome case coughed twice in a low voice, pressed the corner of his beard with his thumb, shyly pressed his stomach, and looked at Jia Xu at the desk: "This...... Mr. Jia, what do you think are the odds of winning this matter? Do you need to send troops to help in the end? ”

Jia Xu kept his head down, his eyes were looking at the wooden case, and his face was numb, as if he had just fallen asleep. He heard Niu Fu ask at this time, but he raised his head with a bang, and his expression was as usual, not shocked. He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard gently, thought about it, and said: "It stands to reason that this kid Wang Gu has Hu Chi'er secretly helping, and it will be easy to deal with Zhang Baiqi and others if nothing else." It's just that after all, this kid has always been soft-spoken in Tianwangzhai, and it takes a lot of trouble to make it happen. ”

"Originally, in this matter, I Xiliang didn't need to go this far with Tianwangzhai and take the risk to support an outsider. It's just that in the end, it was his former big boss who didn't know how to raise his name and didn't want to cooperate with us Xiliang, otherwise we wouldn't have to harm him. It's just that now that he has chosen the king, he can only trust him. General Niu, let's wait patiently, whether it can succeed or not, the news should be in the next two days. ”

Niu Fu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Since Mr. also said that it is difficult for this kid to succeed in a small way, why didn't you choose a heavier one in the first place, wouldn't the probability of success be higher?" By the way, General Ben heard that the biggest force under the Tianwang Village should be Zhang Baiqi's gang, right? If you support him......"

"Humph!"

Jia Xu smiled and hurriedly shook his head: "If you support him, don't say whether he agrees or not, I'm afraid that with this kid's personality, he is like his dead brother, he is a soft and hard guy, and it is useless to talk to him." Do you support him and want to make trouble for yourself? And the reason why he finally chose Wang Gu is precisely because this kid is so obscene that he can agree to any conditions. Come to think of it, having such a person in our hands, although it is a little more difficult to get into trouble, but as long as it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to me Xiliang and you, the general. ”

Hey, hey, hey......

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth rose slightly, although he didn't laugh, Niu Fu could probably see the darkness in Jia Xu's heart at this time from the undulating arc of the corners of his mouth.

This kind of darkness is very familiar to him, but he likes it very much.

When Niu Fu heard this, he nodded, patted the case, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Jia has long had this consideration, and General Ben has been thinking too much." It's just that if the king ascends to the throne, if he knows that their former big boss was harmed by my Xiliang design, will he ......?"

Of course, Jia Xu knew what he was worried about, and immediately said: "Wang Gu is just a chess piece in our hands, and we are relying on the power of Tianwangzhai in his hands. Once he controls Xiliang for me, I think it won't take long for him to slowly eat away at his Tianwang Village step by step. At that point, what if he knew? What can he do to us? Not to mention his bear-like appearance, how could he sacrifice his wealth and wealth to do such a stupid thing? ”

"But if you follow General Niu's idea, let that white horse take the position, and wait until he knows the truth, hehe...... It's not that I'm threatening the general, I'm afraid that at that time, Tianwangzhai will completely become my Xiliang's henchman in the future. And as far as I know, with Zhang Baiqi's temper, in order to take revenge, he is afraid that he will use all the forces of Tianwangzhai to fight with me Xiliang to the end. This is why I would rather choose a soft egg like Wang Gu and take the risk to support him than provoke that white horse. ”

When Niu Fu heard this, he was stunned and said: "This is the general's negligence, but fortunately, you will arrange all this, Mr., and the general can sit back and relax." ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard, stretched out his hand, and was about to take the lamp. However, at this time, someone outside the account sent a letter and presented it in front of Niu Fu's case. Niu Fu unfolded the brocade silk, only to see a few words on it, and swept it at a glance, which made him look excited. Niu Fu hadn't spoken yet, and Jia Xu understood when he saw his expression. He put down the cup, straightened his clothes, got down from the pu mat, bowed his hand to Niu Fuyi, and asked with a smile: "General Niu, but there is news from Hu Chi'er?" ”

When Niu Fu heard this, he smiled and said, "Haha! There you have it! Sir, you know, after my confidant Hu Chi'er led the troops to Tianwangzhai, everything was according to your orders, sir, and now it has been done. He secretly assisted Wang Gu, and after Zhang Baiqi came back, he set up a 'Hongmen Banquet' for him, and now Zhang Baiqi and his cadres have all been taken, and Tianwangzhai is basically in their hands. Now everything is ready, just wait for three or five days later, Wang Gu will officially take over Tianwangzhai, then the big thing will be decided, and the troops will be sent out without work! ”

"Take it?"

Jia Xu's brows trembled slightly, and he suddenly asked Niu Fu rhetorically: "Just 'take it'?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Niu Fu was very puzzled when he saw Jia Xu's expression: "What the letter says is 'take it'." ”

"Whew!"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Cutting grass to eradicate the roots, doesn't General Hu understand this truth?" Didn't I tell him before I went, did he forget it and do such a foolish thing? Hey! Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be enclosed! ”

Niu Fu has always trusted Hu Chi'er very much, like a confidant, but now listening to Jia Xu's words with the meaning of reprimand, he felt uncomfortable, his face turned red, and he immediately refuted for Hu Chi'er: "Maybe there is another reason why they didn't kill Zhang Baiqi immediately, Mr. Jia, why are you angry?" What's more, now that Zhang Baiqi has been taken down, he is already catching a turtle in an urn, and he is afraid that he will not be able to escape? After this incident, the herald ordered people to kill him. ”

Jia Xu stayed in Shaanxi County as a lieutenant, assisted Niu Fu, and stayed in Niu Fu's account for several months, how could he not be clear about Niu Fu's temperament? If you want to say that this guy hates people, it is that he hates to break his body into pieces immediately. However, once you 'like' someone, it's like an old cow treating a calf, and protecting the calf is amazing. Like Hu Chi'er, he has no other skills, but he is a set of sycophants, which can please Niu Fu. And Niu Fu has always regarded him as a confidant, and the plot of his 'calf protection' is even more serious. There were several times when Hu Chi'er committed crimes, and Jia Xu asked for severe punishment, but they were all blocked back by Niu Fu, and Niu Fu still trusted Hu Chi'er afterwards and had no doubts. Since Jia Xu couldn't persuade him, he had no choice but to give up.

Originally, for Hu Chi'er not immediately killing Zhang Baiqi according to his orders, he could probably guess that he should have encountered other obstacles, no wonder he. However, the so-called small to see the big, it is not difficult to understand from this matter, he Hu Chi'er is less and less interested in him. This is probably because of Niu Fu's usual 'indulgence' and 'favor' to him, which breeds his arrogance, right? And Hu Chier's 'arrogance' is quite a hidden danger in Jia Xu's view.

He has always pursued the principle of low-key life, as long as no one else threatens his survival, he generally turns a blind eye and never ignores other things. However, in the case of Hu Chi'er, once he realized that Hu Chi'er's existence was very likely to be a big 'hidden danger' and that it might affect him in the future, then he must not turn a blind eye. And this is also the reason why he is-for-tat with Hu Chier and others. Even today, he is still thinking about 'borrowing the topic to play', and wants to count Hu Chi'er well, so that Niu Fu can treat Hu Chi'er correctly. However, knowing how to advance and retreat like him, when he saw Niu Fu's slightly angry face at this time, he could only spit all the words he was about to admonish into his stomach.

He was stunned, and then he said gently: "That's it! Maybe General Niu, you're right. However, in the case of Zhang Baiqi, no matter what the reason, in order not to cause any side trouble, he also asked General Niu to immediately order General Hu to urge Wang to deal with Zhang Baiqi as soon as possible, and he must not wait until after the fact. ”

When Niu Fu saw Jia Xu say this, he nodded: "Since Mr. said so, General Ben immediately ordered to let people quickly pass the order to Hu Chi'er, and let Hu Chi'er supervise Zhang Baiqi as soon as possible." ”

"Good!"

Jia Xu nodded, and as soon as he gave his hand, he retired from Niu Fu and left the big tent.

………………

"Sir, there is a person who calls himself Zhang Xiu outside the camp who asks to see him."

Jia Xu had just returned to the tent, and not long after he sat down, suddenly the tent door was opened, and a soldier came in and told him this. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Zhang Xiu, which Zhang Xiu?" He didn't turn the corner for a while, but said: "Isn't Zhang Xiu General Zhang Jizhang's nephew?" I've seen it before. However, the news seems to say that Zhang Ji has died on the battlefield of Yanshi and was killed by Chen Nuo. How to ......" He patted his head: "Could it be that this embroidery is the other embroidery?" ”

He hurriedly stood up and asked about the appearance of the person, but the person couldn't say why, he was in a hurry, so he had to take someone to the gate himself.

Speaking of which, he Jia Xu and Zhang Ji are both from Xiliang, and they still had some friendships before, and their relationship is not shallow. When he was in Shaanxi County, he had already heard from the people from the Kanto side that Zhang Ji, Guo Yan, and Li Dao had joined forces to deal with Chen Nuo. And the news says that Zhang Ji and others did not know whether they were alive or dead after they were defeated in the first battle, and most of them died in battle. Jia Xu was very surprised when he heard the news, no matter what others said, he couldn't believe it.

At that time, he was not only shocked by the death of Zhang Ji and others, but also very curious about Chen Nuo, who was their opponent. He didn't know who Chen Nuo was, he hadn't heard of it before, how he suddenly appeared, and he also killed the three generals of Xiliang in a battle, which seemed to him to be incredible. Therefore, after hearing the news of the First Battle of Yanshi, he sent people to search for the news of Zhang Ji and others, and at the same time, he did not let Chen Nuo go, and also conducted a simple intelligence search for Chen Nuo. Some say that Chen Nuo is a general in Hebei, and it is also rumored that he was born in Xiliang, and he is also from Wuwei, and he is a fellow villager. But in any case, Chen Nuo's reputation has already spread among the Xiliang army because of the Yanshi battle. And he, because Zhang Ji and the others had no news after the first battle of Yanshi, he said that Zhang Ji and the others were really all killed in battle, so he gave up the search.

Originally, it had been a while since the first battle of Yanshi, and the news from Chen Nuo's side had been searched, and Zhang Ji and the others could not even find the corpses, so Jia Xu could only acquiesce in the matter. In his opinion, most of Zhang Ji and the others had already died in battle. However, this time I suddenly heard that Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu survived, can Jia Xuyan not be moved?

You can't ride a horse casually in the camp, Jia Xu can only come at a gallop.

At the gate, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er (note, it's Hu Che'er, not Hu Chi'er), Gao Shan, and a group of small minions behind Gao Shan, standing far away. Probably because their descriptions were so outlandish that they were turned away by the soldiers guarding the door. At this time, Jia Xu raised his head at the gate and met Zhang Xiu's eyes, and immediately recognized him.

"Sure enough, it's Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu!"

When Jia Xu saw it, he sighed, and felt a little excited in his heart. Anyway, he finally saw the living people who had returned from the first battle of the Yanshi. And Zhang Xiu, when he met Jia Xu's eyes, the whole person was stunned, and blurted out: "Mr. Jia Xu, I am Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, I don't know if Mr. Jia Xu can remember?" ”

Jia Xu had already walked out of the gate, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the soldiers on the left and right get out of the way, he stood there, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiu carefully. Zhang Xiu, he couldn't even eat enough when he came from Yanshi all the way, so naturally he couldn't take care of his 'appearance', so at this moment, he was extremely embarrassed in Jia Xu's eyes, like a beggar.

The cloak on his shoulder had at some point cut a large hole, and half a piece of cloth hung there, blowing in the wind; It was the armor of the whole body, which had not had time to be washed off because it was stained with blood, and it looked extremely dirty. Even his originally handsome face was stained with dirt, his forehead was covered by the emanation of a shawl, and his helmet was lost somewhere.

It's just that it is precisely because of his slightly vicissitudes of appearance that it can make other people's visions be impacted, so that they have a sense of sympathy for him for no reason. And Jia Xu is thinking this at the moment. However, it was precisely because Zhang Xiu's near appearance was so shocking to Jia Xu that Jia Xu almost couldn't recognize it.

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, his heart was sour, and he forgot to speak for a while. When Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu coming, he hurriedly dropped the spear in his hand, stepped forward, hugged Jia Xu's thigh, and shouted, "Sir! Pity my uncle who died in battle, and my little nephew escaped by luck, and please ask my husband to make decisions for me in the future! As soon as Zhang Xiu came, she cried sadly, tears flowed, and Jia Xu, an old Jianghu, was also moved by him with a handful of snot and tears. He hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiu up, looked at him carefully, and asked repeatedly: "You, are you really Zhang Xiu, the nephew of General Zhang Jizhang?" So you're not dead! Ahaha, okay, good, you can survive the disaster, and there will be blessings in the future, get up quickly! ”

When Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu say, she choked up again, and she snorted and cried, as if she had seen her father, and she was thinking about him. It was Hu Che'er behind Zhang Xiu, Gao Shan and others when they saw it, they all reached out to wipe the corners of their eyes, but they found that there was not a single tear in the corner of their eyes. Na Jia Xu pulled Zhang Xiu up and let him into the camp, and asked about what happened to Yanshi. When Zhang Xiu heard the question, he naturally said it all in one go. Speaking of the death of his uncle Zhang Ji, it was another good cry, which moved Jia Xu so much that he reluctantly lost a handful of tears.

Jia Xu brought them to the tent first, and knew that they would definitely not be able to eat well along the way, so he ordered the subordinates to immediately prepare some soup cakes and the like and serve them for them to eat. Of course, Zhang Xiu didn't come here to beg for food, while eating soup cakes, he brought out his uncle Zhang Jilai, and talked to Jia Xu again. It's just that he deliberately repeated some words like letting Jia Xu 'call the shots', which can't be to remind Jia Xu not to forget his previous friendship with his uncle and want to ask him to help take him in. Of course, Jia Xu is not a fool, and he can also hear the sound outside the strings. Only in his opinion, of course, it is not impossible to take Zhang Xiu in, but he can't be the master of this matter, after all, he has a cow above him.

Of course, at the time of employing people, there is no relationship with him, as long as Zhang Xiu has this power and brings people to vote, probably Niu Fu is also very good at talking, and most of them will not refuse. However, don't look at Zhang Xiu who brought hundreds of people, but in Jia Xu's eyes, it was really unbearable, and he could see the problem at a glance. During the banquet, Jia Xu deliberately asked about the origin of these people, and Zhang Xiu also wanted to lie that it was the people from the old Xiliang department he brought. When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately kept silent.

When Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu's expression, he immediately knew that his cleverness was completely useless in front of Jia Xu, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake to Jia Xu and told Jia Xu that this team was born as a bandit. When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and didn't say anything more. It wasn't until after the meal that Jia Xu talked to Zhang Xiu that he wanted to take him to see Niu Fu. Zhang Xiu's body shook up, knowing that as long as Jia Xu was willing to be introduced, this matter would most likely be considered a success, so he hurriedly thanked him.

Zhang Xiu came out of the camp tent and immediately followed Jia Xu to the Chinese army. Before Zhang Xiu saw Niu Fu, Jia Xu first asked Zhang Xiu to stay outside the tent, and he went in to tell Niu Fu first. That Niu Fu still trusted Jia Xu, and heard Jia Xu say that Zhang Xiu brought hundreds of old Xiliang troops to vote, and immediately agreed to let Zhang Xiu stay under the account to listen to it, and promised to ask the court for Zhang Xiu to take over the position of captain of his uncle Zhang Ji. Jia Xu took Zhang Xiu to see Niu Fu and thanked him together, and Niu Fu naturally wanted to comfort Zhang Xiu again.

The embroidery came out of the big tent of the Chinese army first, looking at the sun overhead, and the excitement in his heart could not be expressed in words. I also thought that now that I have successfully joined the Niu Auxiliary Army, it will not be difficult to avenge my uncle Zhang Ji in the future. Thinking like this, he didn't feel that his body and mind were light, and he was about to walk away, not wanting a pawn to come head-on, and shouted all the way: "Chang'an emergency!" Chang'an Urgent! ”

Changan? What will happen in Chang'an?

As soon as Zhang Xiu's body stopped, he saw the pawn who delivered the emergency report drilling into the Niu Fu tent, and the man's words came after a while: "General, general!" Oh no, Chang'an has changed the sky, and Mrs. Dong is ...... He...... He was killed by Lu Bu! ”

"What!"

"What?"

Zhang Xiu was shocked to hear the news, and his whole body moved, like five thunderbolts, and he couldn't move for a long time. It's not true, it's not true! How could Dong Zhuo die! How could Dong Zhuo die!
