Zhang Lang walked into the study, where a messenger was waiting. Seeing Zhang Lang coming in, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The villain greets the general!" ”

"Get up."

The messenger stood up, untied the sealed letter box around his waist, and presented it to Zhang Lang, "This is a letter from General Ma Chao to the general. "This kind of letter box is specially made, about seven inches long, three fingers wide, hollow inside and hollow for storing important official documents or letters, and then sealed with special cement, and then stamped on the cement and dried. The purpose of this is to prevent someone from opening the envelope without permission, and if someone does so, the mud seal will inevitably be damaged.

Zhang Lang took the letter box, picked up the mud seal, took out the letter, looked at it, frowned slightly, and said to a guard beside him: "Go and call Mr. Wenhe to me." ”

The guard answered and hurried away.

After a while, Jia Xu hurriedly rushed in, clenched his fists and said, "General." ”

Zhang Lang handed Ma Chao's letter to Jia Xu, Jia Xu hurriedly took it, read it, and said with a smile: "General Ma Chao is really worthy of his mission!" In such a short time, a big victory was achieved, and the Qiang people were suppressed! Returning the letter to Zhang Lang, he clenched his fists and asked, "The lord is hesitating about whether to go to the meeting?" ”

It turned out that in the letter, in addition to briefly recounting the victory not long ago, Ma Chao mainly said another thing. The Qiang people were defeated by Ma Chao in the recent battle, so they started to negotiate peace, but they did not want to talk to Ma Chao, they wanted to negotiate with Zhang Lang. Ma Chao's purpose in this letter is mainly to ask Zhang Lang how to deal with this matter.

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Although we have won successive battles during this time, our situation is not optimistic, if we can reconcile with the Qiang people, it will not be better!" But I don't know if the Qiang people really want peace talks, or are they playing tricks? He glanced at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu pondered: "The Qiang people originally surrendered to the Han Dynasty, but when the world was in turmoil, they would take advantage of the situation to rebel." Now that he has been suppressed by General Ma Chao, it is reasonable to want to reconcile with us! It's just that the Qiang people still have nearly 200,000 horses, and I'm afraid that they won't give in so lightly, and things may be repeated! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "No matter what, it's best if it can be resolved peacefully, if not, then beat them down with all your might!" I don't want someone to stab me in the back while I'm in the middle of a battle! ”

"The lord decided to go to the meeting?"

Zhang Lang nodded, and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell him immediately, and I will rush to him as much as possible." "No." The communications soldier answered and retreated.

Zhang Lang returned to his room and saw Yan Yuyao bending over and standing beside the bed to prepare for him, and his heart moved, "Yuyao, you already know?" ”

Yan Yuyao said faintly: "Just now the concubine passed by the door of the study and heard your words. ”

Zhang Lang stepped forward, and Yan Yuyao turned around. Zhang Lang took her into his arms and said apologetically: "I'm sorry! ”

Yan Yuyao raised her head, looked at Zhang Lang in a daze, reached out and stroked his cheek, and said faintly: "Husband, you have really changed a lot!" It's become so gentle! ”

Zhang Lang smiled and kissed the sexy red lips, "Is that better now or in the past?" ”

Yan Yuyao leaned her head on Zhang Lang's chest and said softly: "The concubine likes the way her husband looks now!" ”

Zhang Lang was greatly pleased.

Holding Yan Yuyao's slender hand and sitting down on the edge of the bed, seeing that her hair was a little messy, she naturally brushed it for her, Yan Yuyao smiled gently.

"Yu Yao, I haven't talked to you for a long time! How are you going during this time? ”

Yan Yuyao nodded, brushed a strand of hair from the corner of her sideburns, and said with a smile: "The concubine is doing well!" Then he said a little sadly: "It's just that the concubine body is too useless!" I can't help my husband! ”

Zhang Lang was greatly moved, and hugged Yan Yuyao into his arms, "Fool! Yan Yuyao leaned on Zhang Lang's arms, and a happy smile appeared on her charming face.

suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly sat up, "By the way, husband, there is something that needs to be handled by husband!" ”

Zhang Lang hugged Yan Yuyao's slender waist and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"Miss Dong Ying and Sister Diao Chan, the two of them never talk to each other, as if they don't like each other!"

Zhang Lang frowned, "There is such a thing? ”

Yan Yuyao nodded, "My husband is not often at home, so I don't know." I haven't seen the two of them speak in a long time! And when the two meet, they look at each other coldly! I don't know if there is any heart disease between the two sisters? ”

Zhang Lang rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

Seeing this, Yan Yuyao couldn't help but blame herself: "I'm sorry husband, I shouldn't have told you about this!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about? After a pause, "I'll deal with this when I get back." Yu Yao, you bother to help me keep an eye on them, don't make trouble! ”

"Hmm." Yan Yuyao nodded.

The next day, Zhang Lang left Chang'an with five hundred guards.

Soon after Zhang Lang left, Zhao Yun, who was the envoy of Gongsun Zhan, came to Chang'an.

Jia Xu looked at Gongsun Zhan's handwritten letter, and glanced at Zhao Yun, who was standing in the hall with an extraordinary bearing, "General's surname?" ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "Under Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, Changshan is really a person!" ”

Jia Xu was moved, "Could it be Changshan Zhao Zilong, who saved Gongsun Zan in fifty rounds of fighting with Wen Chou?" ”

"It's down there!"

Jia Xu hurriedly got up, bypassed the desk, came to Zhao Yun, and saluted with a fist, "I have long heard of the prestige of the general, and it is really a blessing to see it today!" ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel cordial, and hurriedly returned the salute, "Your Excellency is polite!" ”

Jia Xu asked, "General, please take a seat." ”

Zhao Yun hesitated, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you." Then he walked to the left and sat down on his knees.

Jia Xu returned to the top and sat down, smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "I already know what General Gongsun means!" I think my family general is also happy to ally with General Gongsun! It's just that my general went to Xiqiang a few days ago, and I, as a subordinate, can't call the shots! Zilong might as well stay for the time being, and wait for my general to come back, how about making a plan? ”

Zhao Yun thought about it and felt that it could only be like this, so he hugged his fists and said, "Then bother!" ”

Jia Xu smiled heartily, "General Zilong doesn't have to be polite!" Then he turned his head and called outside, "Come on! ”

A subordinate hurried into the lobby and saluted, "What do you command?" ”

"Immediately arrange accommodation for General Zilong and his entourage, and treat them with the highest courtesy, understand?"

The subordinate said yes and retreated.

Jia Xu hugged his fist at Zhao Yun and said: "General Zilong, my general is not here, so I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the general!" Zhao Yun humbly resigned, but Jia Xu insisted on taking the wind for Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was not too insistent, so he accepted it. So Jia Xu ordered someone to book a dinner at the Zhenyu Pavilion in the city, and then personally led Zhao Yun to the inn to rest. Jia Xu was diligent, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
