Yang Ding failed to die in the end and was stopped by Zhang Xiu.

Although Zhang Xiu is irritable, he is not an arrogant person, he can still listen to some other people's advice. Although Zhang Ji's death made him feel painful, he still accepted the reality rationally after losing his temper.

Zhang Xiu led the soldiers and people into Fengjiayu, and after some digging and searching, they finally found Zhang Ji and his war horse from under the soil layer. Although it had been ten days since Zhang Ji's death, and Zhang Xiu's body had decomposed and deformed, it was still easy to identify him from the corpses all over the ground from the clothes and armor on his body and the corpse of the war horse next to him.

Zhang Xiu packed his uncle's body in a cypress coffin, and then carried the coffin back to Wancheng in linen and filial piety.

Zhang Ji's wife, Zou, Zhang Xiu's uncle, was a very beautiful woman. After Zhang Ji's death in another time and space, Cao Heizi put his guard chief Dian Wei and his son Cao Ang in order to push this woman. In this time and space, the "wife control" Cao Apu can't reach Wancheng for the time being, so even if Zhang Ji dies, the charming widow Zou can't fall into his arms.

Zou saw his nephew Zhang Xiu returning from the coffin, crying to death, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiu to stop him, he was afraid that he would be able to touch the coffin with his head at that time, and followed Zhang Xiu together. Zhang Ji and Zou have no heirs, and usually treat Zhang Xiu as a son, but now that Zhang Ji is dead, Zhang Xiu can't say anything to let this uncle have three long and two short.

When Zhang Xiu was busy with his uncle's funeral in Wancheng, the news that Gong Du and Zhang Ji had died in battle had reached Luyang. When the initiator of Zhang Xiu's death, Da Er Liu, learned that the general Gong Du and 5,000 soldiers had been annihilated, he beat his chest in pain and shouted: "Brother Gong, if Liu can't avenge this revenge for you, he will not be a man!" ”

The kind-hearted Xu Shu reminded Liu Bei: "Xuande, now that Zhang Xiu is holding a funeral for his uncle in Wancheng, will he send someone to mourn?" ”

Liu Bei wiped a handful of tears, nodded and said, "I am a brother and sister to General Zhang. This time he was unfortunately killed, and I want to go to Wancheng in person to mourn! ”

"Big brother, no! Zhang Ji is dead, Zhang Xiu is mostly resentful of us now, and it is really dangerous for the eldest brother to go to Wancheng at this time! Guan Yu stopped him.

"Yun Chang doesn't have to worry, Zhang Xiu is quite chivalrous, he can tell the right from wrong, and he won't blame Zhang Ji's death on me."

A few days later, Liu Bei only brought Chen Zhi to lead a hundred personal guards, and came to Wancheng in sackcloth.

Zhang Xiu was as Liu Bei expected. Not only did he not blame Liu Bei for Zhang Ji's death, but he also personally welcomed Liu Bei into the mourning hall.

After Liu Bei entered the mourning hall, he took three steps and made two steps, stumbled and fell under the coffin, and then howled and cried.

"Brother Ji Cheng, it's Liu who hurt you! I shouldn't have sent troops to attack Danshui, and I shouldn't have sent troops with you! If I had known that the gang of thieves in the Sanhe Pavilion were so vicious, I should have personally led the troops to act as a pioneer for you! Now Brother Ji Cheng, you are gone, leaving behind your sister-in-law and nephew. Even if I, Liu, give up this bit of belongings, I will send your coffin to Longxi in the future......"

Liu Bei cried really sadly, with a handful of snot and tears, which moved Zou so much. Zhang Xiu saw that Liu Bei himself admitted his "mistake". He was really embarrassed to pull Zhang Ji's death on Liu Bei, after all, it was Gong Du who went to attack Sanhu Pavilion at the beginning, if Zhang Ji hadn't rushed to send troops, he would not have been buried alive in Fengjiayu.

"Liu Gong. Please also get up, my uncle has gone, and my uncle and embroidery will depend on you in Nanyang in the future. Zhang Xiu came to Liu Bei's side. Stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei up.

After the meat show performance carefully prepared by Liu Bei, he and Zhang Xiu went to the small living room to talk.

Liu Bei patted his chest and said to Zhang Xiu: "Don't worry, nephew, after General Zhang is buried, I will return to Luyang to rectify the soldiers and horses, and send troops to Sanhu Pavilion within a month at the latest, crusade against the thieves entrenched nearby, and avenge General Zhang!" ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly dissuaded Liu Bei and said: "Xuande Gong treats my uncle and nephew so kindly, Xiu is grateful in his heart!" It's just that after this incident, I saw the power of the group of thieves in the Sanhe Pavilion, and if the matter of revenge is not fully certain, it needs to be considered in the long run, and it should not be rushed. ”

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's still the thoughtfulness of the virtuous nephew." If there is chaos today, you and I are just delaying time in Nanyang, Yanzhou Cao Mengde has an army of 100,000, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng has 200,000 Jingchu soldiers, Luoyang has Liu Shiren's Shen Xi Army and Dragon Tiger Guard, Chang'an has Yuan Benchu entrenched business, I don't know when these strong men with heavy troops will attack us. ”

Zhang Xiu listened to Liu Bei's helpless words, and her heart seemed to be sinking with a thousand catties of boulders.

"It's a pity that the world is so big, there is no place to live!" Zhang Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he had no confidence in the future.

"Virtuous nephew, although you and I don't have many soldiers and horses, we can't let others covet and fish meat. If you don't dislike it, you will collect all the more than 10,000 people I left in Nanyang, and let someone have a good one to rely on in the future! Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xiu with a sincere face, and said a nonsense that can't be faked anymore.

Zhang Xiu is a martial artist who doesn't have many brains, and the reason why he can beat Cao Cao to the ground in another time and space is all because of the poison Jia Xu's advice behind his back. Now that the poisoner has taken refuge in Liu He, and Zhang Ji, who has rich experience in struggle, is traveling westward with a crane, so he can't be the opponent of the big-eared Liu when he is playing with his heart.

"Xuande Gong is strict with this! How dare you compare this ambition in your heart with you, if you talk about bravery, neither of the two brothers of Xuande Gong can resist embroidery. Now embroidered in Nanyang is like rootless duckweed, even if it is to take refuge, it should be embroidery to lead the army to take refuge in you! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard Zhang Xiu's words, but he said angrily: "How can a virtuous nephew say such a thing!" Liu came to Wancheng this time to see General Zhang on his last journey, not to absorb the people left behind by General Zhang! Now that the matter has been completed, I will return to Luyang, I should not have heard what the virtuous nephew said just now, and I must not mention it in front of people in the future, so as not to be listened to by someone with a heart, and use this matter to separate you and me! ”

Liu Bei did what he said, and really left Wancheng with Chen Zhi, but Zhang Xiu was more determined in his heart to join Liu Bei.

After another period of time, Zhang Xiu buried Zhang Ji in the mountains north of Wancheng. When he was buried, Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to the funeral.

When there was no one at night, Jian Yongmi met Zhang Xiu and said: "Young General, I just received a secret report, Xiangyang Liu Jingsheng learned that General Zhang was killed and was ready to send troops to capture Nanyang, have you ever prepared to face the battle?" ”

"What? This Liu Jingsheng is really good at choosing time! Now that the morale of my subordinates is low and the morale of the army is unstable, how can they withstand the attack of Liu Biao's army. Zhang Xiu said with some distraction.

"When General Zhang sent troops to attack Danshui, Xuande Gong specially sent me to Xiangyang to lobby Liu Jingsheng, which prevented Liu Jingsheng from taking advantage of the situation when the two families sent troops. Now that General Zhang is gone, Liu Jingsheng feels that the time is ripe, and he will naturally send troops to attack Wancheng. Even if the imperial court knew about this matter, the big names in the court would not object, after all, Nanyang belonged to Jingzhou. ”

"That's it, the road back to Guanzhong was blocked by the group of thieves in Sanhu Pavilion, and when Liu Jingsheng's army attacked, I used these hundred and ten catties to make an end." Zhang Xiu's words revealed a smell of seeking death.

Jian Yong saw that the effect of bluffing Zhang Xiu had been achieved, so he shook his head and said: "The young general is not afraid of death, which makes Jian admire." It's just that you have ever thought about how you should be placed if you die in Wancheng and your uncle and aunt are a single weak woman? ”

Zhang Xiu bowed her head and was silent, with a look of shame on her face.

"According to Zhang's opinion, this disaster is not impossible to eliminate, but the key is on Xuande Gong!"

"Mr. Xianhe, what do you mean by that?"

"If the major general leads the army to surrender to Xuande Gong, then Liu Jingsheng will definitely not attack you because of his friendship with Xuande on weekdays!"

"Mr. Xianhe may not know that when Duke Xuande came to Wancheng to mourn some time ago, he expressed this meaning, and as a result, Duke Xuande walked away." Zhang Xiu explained with some grievances.

"Xuande Gong is like this, he is a thin-faced loyal elder, and he is most afraid of other people's gossip. It's just that now that the situation is critical, if the two families can merge, they will be able to act and command in a unified manner, even if someone wants to fight Nanyang's idea, they may not be able to do so. If you want me to say, the young general might as well be the master and give his uncle and mother to Xuande Gong, so that it is difficult for him to refuse the merger of the two families, and because of the relationship of marriage, the soldiers on both sides can also work with one heart and one mind, and the originally low morale can also be boosted. ”

In another time and space, since Zhang Xiu was able to use Zou as bait and use beauty tricks to smash Cao Cao, it means that although he respected Zou, he didn't take Zou too seriously for Zhang Ji's festival. In this world, since the big-eared thief can say "brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes", it means that the status of women is very low, if Zhang Xiu really wants to take refuge in Liu Bei and push his uncle into Liu Bei's account, it is not unimaginable.

Since Liu Bei has a relationship with Zhang Ji's peers, he really wants to marry the widow Zou, which can actually be regarded as a beautiful thing, Zhang Xiu not only will not feel embarrassed, but will also feel that he has found a good home for his uncle.

Zhang Xiu didn't hesitate for too long, then agreed to Jian Yong's suggestion, and he said to Jian Yong: "If you can let your uncle marry Xuande Gong, then everything will be harmonious." As soon as qiē there is Mr. Lao Xianhe! ”

Jian Yong received Liu Bei's secret order this time, just to say that Zhang Xiu was moved, and now seeing that Zhang Xiu had agreed, he was overjoyed, he patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder affectionately, and comforted: "Young General, rest assured, Jian will promote this beautiful thing no matter what, so that your two families will be like a family from now on!"
