Early the next morning, Mi Zhu woke up.

With two black and big black circles under his eyes, he was dazed for a while, and after blinking his eyes for a while, he gradually regained his clarity.

Last night, Mi Zhu barely slept all night.

On the one hand, he complained that Zhang Shuang trusted Zang Ba too much, and on the other hand, he was worried about the safety of his younger brother Mi Fang.

What made Mi Zhu most angry was that he still had no way to take Zhang Shuang, not only had he no choice, but he also had to serve Zhang Shuang thoughtfully. Because if Zang Ba rebels, he must rely on Zhang Shuang's strength.

Moreover, after this incident, he already knew the importance of official position and power. He also had to go through Zhang Shuang to get what he needed.

"I have the money, the ability, to sell to Zhang Hussar. Zhang Hussar returned my official position and power. This is what the ancients said, to each according to his needs, I can't do without him. ”

Mi Zhu sighed. Then he obediently ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and when the hot breakfast was prepared, he sent someone to invite Zhang Shuang, Chen Deng, Dian Wei and others to come over.

Soon after, everyone gathered again. Today, however, there is a slight change. For a long time, in Mi's house, Mi Zhu was the main seat, and Zhang Shuang was the guest sitting on the side.

Today, Mi Zhu thought about it, invited Zhang Shuang to be the upper position, sat on the side by himself, and then covered his head to eat. Mi Zhu is so attentive, Zhang Shuang naturally feels it.

Look at Mi Zhu's dark circles again, and the trace of complaint in the depths of his eyes. Zhang Shuang immediately knew the thoughts of this goods. I can't help but laugh in my heart, you are a businessman, just go back and collect money for me. What do you care about these big things?

Zhang Shuang explained more, comforted, and continued to eat quietly. Soon, lunch, dinner.

When it was time to eat dinner, Mi Zhu was already desperate, the next day was going to pass, Zang Ba hadn't come yet, it must have been a meat bun and a dog.

The atmosphere was because of Mi Zhu's silence. It's even weirder.

However, halfway through dinner, a house slave hurried in. The report reads: "Hussar general, lord." Tens of thousands of people came from the north. ”

"Tens of thousands?" Mi Zhu's chopsticks fell to the ground, and he was frightened. Suddenly stood up and said: "Could it be that after Zang Ba went back, he didn't know where to mobilize the army?" What to do now, what to do?? ”

Mi Zhu paced back and forth, looking frightened.

"Let's be clear. Is it the army or what? Zhang Shuang quietly put down his chopsticks. He wiped his mouth with a white silk and asked.

"General Qiyu, it seems that only a small part of it is the army. The rest are dragged with their families. The house slave reported back.

"What's going on?" Mi Zhu was stunned.

"I knew that Zang Ba had something to delay. He did a good job in Kaiyang, fighting bandits and maintaining the city. The people loved him, and when they heard that he was leaving, they probably came with the old and the young. ”

"That's not bad, and it can add some population to my east of the river."

Zhang Shuang's mind turned quickly, and he understood in an instant. Laughed.

In addition to increasing his own strength, it also reduced the strength that Xuzhou should have. The benefits are endless.

"Let's go, let's go see Zang Ba and Sun Guan." Zhang Shuang got up from his position and walked out first. Chen Deng, Dian Wei immediately followed, Mi Zhu hesitated, and also followed.

Not long after, Zhang Shuang and the others were outside Wubao. met Zang Ba and Sun Guan. Behind the two were Mi Fang, as well as tens of thousands of people.

"Big brother." Mi Fang was the first to move, turned over and dismounted. crawled in front of Mi Zhu, a handful of snot and tears, these days, he has had enough.

"Brother Fang." Mi Zhu's eyes are also red, thinking of the pain of these days, there is sadness from the heart.

"Big brother."

The two brothers hugged and cried together.

"Xuan Gao." Zhang Shuang ignored these two goods. looked at Zang Ba with a smile.

"The last general will come back to restore his life, and lead tens of thousands of old and weak people to return to the Ming Gong." Zang Ba knelt down on one knee and folded his hands in return.

"I knew that you were a righteous man." Zhang Shuang hurriedly helped Zang up and said domineeringly. Then, he turned his head to look at Sun Guan. Seeing this, Zang Ba introduced with a smile: "This is Sun Guan, the word Zhongtai." ”

"Meet Hussar." Sun Guan said quietly. He has never experienced the incident between Zang Ba and Zhang Shuang, and he knows Zhang Shuang's feelings from Zang Ba's mouth, which is somewhat discounted.

However, Sun Guan also believed in Zang Ba's personality and vision, so he followed.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuang felt it. But he didn't mind, the trust between him and Zang Ba was surprising, and under normal circumstances, trust can only happen for a long time.

He believed that sooner or later he would be able to gain the trust and love of this general.

"In the future, it will be my own family, and Zhongtai doesn't have to be polite." Zhang Shuang smiled and gently grabbed Sun Guan's right arm, very kindly.

"It's good, at least you don't underestimate me as a rogue." Sun Guan was silent, but the first feeling in his heart was very good.

After smiling and greeting for a while, Zhang Shuang entered Wubao with everyone and arrived at the Mifu hall and sat down. Zhang Shuang took the lead and sat on the main seat, and Dian Wei knelt on Zhang Shuang's side, increasing Zhang Shuang's prestige.

Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang on one side, Zang Ba, Sun Guan on the other side.

Although there are few people here, they are all elites for a while. This time the heart of Xuzhou, Zhang Shuang's biggest gain, looking at them, Zhang Shuang was very satisfied.

Zhang Shuang looked at Mi Zhu and asked, "How is it, Mi Zizhong, are you willing to follow me to Luoyang?" ”

"Yes, yes. Not only am I willing to follow the general, but I am also willing to give half of my wealth to the general, tens of thousands of slaves, all of them are disbanded, turned into civilians, and expand the general's fiefdoms. ”

Mi Zhu hurriedly said. During this period of time, he really served Zhang Shuang's things like a god, coupled with the harassment of Zang Ba, he understood the importance of the official position, and now he can do whatever it takes to gain Zhang Shuang's favor so that he can get on Zhang Shuang's big boat.

This was unexpected by Zhang Shuang. He thought it would be good for Mi Zhu to defect, but he didn't expect Mi Zhu to offer such a large amount of family wealth.

However, Zhang Shuang is also in his infancy now, and the more family wealth and the more people, the better. plus the people sent by Zang Ba, it is about 100,000.

At this time, the population of Hedong is even larger. Under Wang Xiu's governance, Hedong will also be politically clear, and the financial revenue obtained is definitely top-notch.

Zhang Shuang was happy in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "I promise, this business of yours is the right thing you have done in your life." ”

"Definitely the rightest." Mi Zhu nodded emphatically, looking very confident.

"Yuanlong, what about you?" After Zhang Shuang got Mi Zhu, he asked Chen Dengdao.

"I naturally stayed in Xuzhou." Chen Deng snorted. Then he sneered: "You don't want to pull me to do it with you." After finishing speaking, Chen Deng regretted it a little, did he say something too much?

But then, the rebellious mentality emerged. Chen Deng looked at Zhang Shuang provocatively. See what you can do with me.

To his surprise, Zhang Shuang just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"It's that simple????!!!" At this moment, Chen Deng was surprised and indignant. You. Didn't you come to Xuzhou and want to ask me to join the army???

You value my talents??? You idiot.

Chen Deng's goods, the city government is a little lower. A little excited, and it was revealed. When Zhang Shuang saw it, he almost laughed in his heart, but fortunately he couldn't help it.

Mi Zhu went to Hedong to run the fiefdom, and Chen Deng entered the shogunate to join the army, but Zang Ba and Sun Guan. Zhang Shuang didn't know how to arrange it for a while.

This is the consequence of the lack of human hearts and swallowing elephants.

He already has a lot of military power, with 10,000 captains, 6,000 in the base camp, and 6,000 in the Hedong Fengyi. If you add Zang Ba and Sun Guan, I am afraid there will be 30,000 people.

No matter how mediocre the imperial court is, it is impossible for a general to have such a large number of troops near Si Li.

I'll have to think about it.

Next, Zhang Shuang sent everyone away. Help pacify the people and reorganize the army. To appease the people, the army was formed. Rely on Zang Ba, Sun Guan.

plus Zang Ba, Sun Guan's original army, selected from the Mizhu family slaves. The situation in the army has become like this.

Zang Ba led 6,000 people, and Sun Guan led 3,000 people, making up an army of about 9,000. Due to the addition of 3,000 house slaves, the combat effectiveness must have decreased, but Zhang Shuang believes that these 9,000 people are in Zangba. Under the leadership of Sun Guan, sooner or later it will be another brave and warlike army.

And coincidentally, Zhang Shuang also thought of how to arrange Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

That night, Zhang Shuang secretly found the two.

"Sit." In the small living room in Zhang Shuang's room, Zhang Shuang sat on the main seat, letting Zang Ba and Sun Guan sit on the side.

After Zang Ba and Sun Guan sat down, they looked at Zhang Shuang quietly, and the two of them had already had a premonition that Zhang Shuang wanted to arrange them.

"I've figured out how to arrange you, but the way may be a little bit wrong for you." Zhang Shuang looked at the two of them, and felt a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.

The hearts of the two of them moved, I can't help us, isn't it the identity of Zhengda and bright? However, Zang Ba trusted Zhang Shuang unconditionally, so he said briskly: "Ming Gong can just arrange it." ”

Zhang Shuang nodded and said, "I want to arrange for you to go to the vicinity of Xuanyuan Mountain where Nanyang and Si Li are handed over." ”

This is the best way Zhang Shuang thought of, Xuanyuan Mountain is near Sili, once Luoyang changes, the two can quickly send troops. Moreover, no one will impeach him for too many soldiers.

"Be a bandit ??!" Zang Ba, Sun Guan Qiqi frowned, this was really a bit different from what they imagined. Sun Guan couldn't help but say: "Didn't Ming Gong recruit us to serve the imperial court?" ”

"Zhongtai, Ming Gong must have an arrangement, don't talk like that." Zang Ba felt sorry and scolded. So, Sun Guan held back, but there was still some indignation on his face.

"I did say that the Seal of Worship will be at your fingertips. Zhongtai said this, which is also understandable. Zhang Shuang stopped Zang Ba's scolding, and then said to Zang Ba very sincerely, Sun Guan said: "You also know that the situation in Luoyang is dark. The ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang and the scholars led by He Jin are almost incompatible. I have some power, but it's hard to compete with them. If you are arranged to enter Luoyang, you may become cannon fodder. Therefore, I arranged for you to be stationed in Xuanyuan Mountain. Nominally, he is a bandit and a bandit, but in fact he obeys my orders. I'll arrange for your food supplies, and you'll keep a low profile and stay there. When I have the chance, you will be the sword in my hand. My purpose is actually very simple, that is, to clear the darkness in Luoyang and return the world to a bright future. ”

The two were immediately attracted by what Zhang Shuang described, which is something that only ambitious people can say. If Zhang Huqi succeeds, then he is a character like Huo Guang.

With such a character, we can not only worship the marquis, but also be able to enjoy the scenery at that time.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan are both politically ambitious figures, and their eyes flashed for a while. The two glanced at each other, and Qi Qi said to Zhang Shuang: "I am willing to be stationed in Xuanyuan Mountain." (To be continued.) )
