Liu Zhang actually knew Lu Bu so well, Guo Jia was more or less surprised. However, what surprised Guo Jia even more was that Liu Zhang was able to analyze the matter far away in Chang'an so thoroughly through a piece of information, and even made corresponding preparations.

"The lord is high, and I will obey you!" Guo Jia got up and saluted, but Liu Zhang was a little ashamed.

"Why should Feng Xiao be like this!" Liu Zhang smiled slightly embarrassedly: "One person is short-lived, and the other is long-term." A fool thinks a thousand times, and there will be one more. I just know the surnames of Wang Yun and Lu Bu better, so it is not surprising that I can make such an analysis. ”

"The lord is humble!" Since Liu Zhang confided in his ambitions, Guo Jia has found a lot of strange behaviors from him. Although some behaviors may seem childish, in some specific situations, they can be unexpected tricks. Therefore, Guo Jia regarded Liu Zhang's shame as modesty.

In order to get out of the embarrassment, Liu Zhang changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about me!" If Lu Buzhen, at the instigation of Wang Yun, had a fire with Dong Zhuo, Chang'an would be in danger! It seems that Yizhou's side needs to fight quickly in order to send troops to Chang'an! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Here in Yizhou, it's not a big deal, if it weren't for the lord wanting to cultivate the ability of the three generals Zhang, Guan, and Zhao to lead the troops, Zhang Lu and Pang Xi would have been finished a long time ago!" ”

"It's time for it to end!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Send an envoy to see Pang Xi, as long as he surrenders immediately and follows my policy, I will spare his life, otherwise the Pang family will not stay!" ”

"Yes!" When Guo Jia got down to business, he put away the image of the prodigal son.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If Guan Yu is ordered to sneak attack Zhu Ti at night, I don't want Zhang Wei's head, but I want to see the head of Zhang Xiu, Zhao Wei, and Jia Long!" ”

"Got it!" Seeing that Liu Zhang had finished speaking, Guo Jia wanted to go down to give the order.

Liu Zhang suddenly stopped Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, do you have eyeliner in Qingzhou and Yanzhou?" ”

"Absolutely!" Guo Jia smiled: "Since the lord has put me in charge of intelligence, I must do my best." Otherwise, will I not be ashamed of my trust in my lord? ”

"Good!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You send someone to Beihai to contact a Qu Shuai named Guan Hai and tell him that as long as he is willing to come to Yizhou, I will ensure that the yellow scarves under his command can live well!" Of course, it was best for him to bring all the yellow scarves under his command to Yizhou. ”

"The lord wants to adopt the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?" Guo Jia was very surprised, in his opinion, the Yellow Turban thieves were unruly. What's more, Liu Zhang is still the leader of the suppression of the Yellow Turban.

"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed: "The yellow scarves are all poor people, even if they are Zhang Jiao, they are very bitter!" ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Zhang Ning, who was serving wine on the side, was a little excited when he heard that Liu Zhang was going to take in the yellow scarf. At the beginning, Zhang Jiao gave her to Liu Zhang, although he wanted to leave her a way to live, but why didn't he want to leave a way for the yellow scarf to live?

"What master, called husband!" Liu Zhang pulled Zhang Ning and said very pitifully: "How can I not know Zhang Jiao's thoughts!" Since he has invested so much, I naturally want to give it back. From your point onwards, the Yellow Turban is also my person! ”

"Ahem... Cough..."Seeing Liu Zhang's intimacy with Zhang Ning as if he was innocent, Guo Jia really couldn't bear it, he coughed twice and said: "Lord, the yellow scarves are unruly, how could Qu Shuai Guan Hai lead his troops to Yizhou?" ”

"Food!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If my expectations are not bad, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans should be seriously short of food!" If there is no food, Guan Hai will have to find a way! And the longest-term way is to take refuge in one of the princes and let the yellow turbans have land to plant! Yizhou is the land of abundance, and the land is fertile. Now I have seized a large piece of land from the hands of the family, which is used to arrange the yellow scarf! I have to be willing, I promise to treat the yellow scarf well! ”

"Lord, will Guan Hai believe you?" Guo Jia was a little noncommittal.

"Husband, why don't you let me go to Qingzhou!" As Zhang Jiao's daughter, although Zhang Ning did not hold a position in the Yellow Turban Dao, her appeal was unparalleled.

"Joke!" Liu Zhang said angrily: "This is a man's business, why do you want a woman to come forward?" I did this with good intentions, and if I didn't know what to do, I would let him die! ”

"Husband..."Seeing Liu Zhang's anger, two lines of tears slipped down Zhang Ning's cheeks, and she was faintly afraid. You must know that since Zhang Ning followed Liu Zhang until now, Liu Zhang has never been angry at her!

"Don't cry!" Liu Zhang was upset for a while, he was most afraid of women crying, especially the women he liked.

"Oh..."Zhang Ning obediently stopped crying, in fact, she knew that Liu Zhang's anger was more because he loved her.

Liu Zhang wiped away the tears on Zhang Ning's face and said, "Women, it's best to stay away from the war!" Although I can't keep all the women in the world away from war for the time being, at the very least, my women will never be allowed to have anything to do with war! I asked Fengxiao to contact Guan Hai, so I didn't give him a chance. If he has vision, he will naturally grasp it. If you can't grasp it, you have nothing to do with others! ”

"But..."Zhang Ning wanted to speak and stopped, she was afraid of saying what was in her heart, and Liu Zhang was angry again.

"This time I allow you to say it, and promise not to be angry!" Liu Zhang hugged Zhang Ning and kissed her lightly on the ear.

Zhang Ning's little face turned red, but she still insisted: "The Yellow Turban Dao is my father's brainchild, and I don't want it to disappear like this." What's more, although the Yellow Turban was defeated, it was still powerful. If you can make it obedient to your husband, it will be a help. As the daughter of a great teacher, I have both the ability and the responsibility! ”

"I believe you have the ability, but you don't have the responsibility!" Liu Zhang continued to tease Zhang Ning, until Zhang Ning couldn't stand it anymore, he stopped and said: "It's a troubled time now, and the Yellow Turban Road is not the Yellow Turban Road it used to be." You don't need to bear the responsibility of your father, even if you do, it's your husband, I'll carry it! ”

"Husband... I..."Zhang Ning was very moved, but she still wanted to say something.

"I've made up my mind, no need to say more!" Liu Zhang said very resolutely: "Your task is the same as Yan'er, to help me give birth to a big fat boy, my father can't wait to hold his grandson!" ”

"Ahh

"Lord!" Seeing that Liu Zhang had leveled Zhang Ning so quickly, Guo Jia gave him a thumbs up.

"You're welcome!" Liu Zhang said unconcernedly: "This matter will be handed over to you!" One is to contact Guan Hai near Beihai in Qingzhou and ask him to come to Yizhou to join me, and the other is to contact Xu He in Yanzhou, Yizhou and Bingzhou are whatever he chooses. ”

"Lord, why do you still treat them separately?" Guo Jia was a little puzzled.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Guan Hai's martial arts are good, he can be used as a fierce general, Xu He is quite wise, it may be difficult to govern a state, and it should be no problem to govern a county!" The fierce general naturally has to be kept by his side, and capable scribes can be placed anywhere! ”

"I see!" Guo Jia has always admired Liu Zhang's level of employment. I don't see Liu Zhang's subordinates, all of them are fierce generals and high-level staff, and even Guo Jia was dug up by Liu Zhang.

Three days later, a messenger came down from Ba County City, asking to meet Pang Xi. At this time, Pang Xi was panicking and didn't know what to do. Hearing that Liu Zhang had an envoy coming, he immediately ordered someone to invite the envoy into the Taishou Mansion.

In the Taishou Mansion, Pang Xigao sat on the main seat, and there were several sword and axe hands standing beside him. When the envoy entered the hall, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "I wonder if Pombasi wants to scare me or kill me?" ”

Pang Xi was very embarrassed and said: "Don't misunderstand, envoy, these are my generals, and they usually protect me!" I don't know what the champion Hou sent you here, what's the matter? ”

The envoy smiled and said, "The champion Hou sent me just to bring a sentence to Pang Basil, and after I bring this sentence, I can die!" My family will be taken care of by Champion Hou! If Pang Basi doesn't like what I say, you can kill me directly, don't cut your nose or ears, I'm afraid of pain! ”

Pang Xi didn't know what to say about this messenger who regarded death as home. Knowing that it was death, he dared to come. When he came, he said that he was afraid of pain, as if he wanted to be killed. Pang Xi said with a smile on his face: "Envoy rest assured, the two countries will fight each other, and if they don't kill the envoys, although I don't have many of them, I still have some!" ”

"Of course I know that Pombis is generous!" The envoy smiled and said, "The Champion Hou ordered me to tell Pang Basil to give you three days to think about it, and if you surrender and resolutely implement the policy of the Champion Hou, I will not pursue your rebellion." Otherwise, the Pang family will not stay! ”

Pang Ximeng stood up and asked, "Champion Hou just gave me such a condition, so he asked me to surrender?" ”

The envoy smiled: "Pang Basil, the champion Hou has never been soft on the enemy!" ”

"Humph!" Pang Xi snorted coldly: "Liu Jiyu, don't you know when I do? Zhang Wei brought 50,000 soldiers to Zhuti, and there were 100,000 ghost soldiers of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, plus my 80,000 soldiers, although Liu Zhang remained undefeated, he couldn't win, unless he could still conjure up tens of thousands of troops! ”

The messenger asked rhetorically: "Can I interpret Pombasi's words as a rejection?" ”

"Uhh

Seeing this, the envoy smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can think about it, there are still three days to do anyway." In order to show sincerity, the two generals, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, have already retreated twenty miles to the village, and you don't have to worry about them sneaking up on Bajun. ”

"Messenger, please go down and rest!" Although Pang Xi is very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's policy, now that it is a matter of life and death, he really needs to think about it. However, Pang Xi didn't know that Huang Zhong was retreating from the village, but Guan Yu left Bajun and went to Zhuti.

After another three days, the envoy came to the Bajun Taishou Mansion again, looked at Pang Xi, who was still hesitating, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Pang Basi is thinking?" ”

Of course, Pang Xi didn't want to surrender, but he didn't dare to refuse. In the past three days, Pang Xi has been unpleasant to eat, and he has not slept at night, he has already made up his mind, but when he saw Liu Zhang's messenger, he hesitated again!

The messenger smiled and handed a piece of cloth to Pang Xi and said, "Since Pang Basi still can't make a decision, I'll show you something, maybe you can make up your mind!" ”
