Ding Qi knelt down, and although Zhang Chao and Gao Shun were a little unhappy in their hearts, they still half-knelt on the ground and hugged their fists out of etiquette.

Zhang Chao's eyes first focused on Ding Qi's body, and when he saw that the other party was a little trembling when he saw him, he had a number in his heart. Let the other party kneel down first, and then only a few steps later, he stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Brother Jianshu doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”

Jianshu is Ding Qi's word. After he saw Zhang Chao helping himself up, still smiling, his heart settled a little. At least that's a good sign, and I don't think I'll be able to kill myself right away.

After helping Ding Qi up, Zhang Chao's eyes fell on Zhang Liao and Gao Shun on the side.

Neither of these people is famous now, and even their influence is only in Jinyang City, and they are not known by others. But Zhang Chao is very clear in his heart, these two people are definitely the existence of tiger generals.

Let's talk about Zhang Liao first, the head of the five good generals under Cao Apu, who is famous and powerful in Jiangdong in history, and once made a three-year-old child dare not cry after hearing his voice. Such a tiger general is now being touched by Zhang Chao, where is the reason why it is possible to let it go?

The most important thing is that Zhang Liao himself is not only brave, but also wise, and is a rare all-round general in civil and military affairs.

His eyes looked at Zhang Liao's body for a while, until he was a little stunned, and then he turned his gaze to Gao Shun's body.

Gao Shun's own force is not very strong, at most it can be regarded as a second-rate general, but he does have his own set of training soldiers. The trapping camp trained by his hands was the most powerful existence in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and such a person instructor-type talent is also what Zhang Chao lacks now.

His eyes looked at Gao Shun's body again, and he felt that this person seemed to have some hatred for himself, Zhang Chao smiled, and once again fell his gaze on Ding Qi's body and said, "Brother Jianshu, you have worked hard all these years to lead the state. Now that I've come here on the orders of the emperor, I don't know what your plans are? ”

Zhang Chao was actually asking for his opinion, which made Ding Qi is heart happy for a while, which at least proved that the other party had no intention of killing him. But suddenly let him make a decision, and he didn't know what to do.

Ding Qi didn't know how to make a decision, so Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Brother Jianshu, why don't I give you a few suggestions, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Oh, what does the general think?" Ding Qi also wanted to know how Zhang Chao would arrange himself.

"Hmm." Zhang Chao first nodded and smiled, and then said: "First, Brother Jianshu is still staying in this state lord's mansion, and I will provide you with food and drink to ensure that you will be safe and rich in your life." Second, if Brother Jianshu wants to, he can serve in a legion, be a general, and make meritorious contributions to serve the court. Third, if Brother Jianshu doesn't like the climate here, he can go to Chenliu in the Central Plains, where I still have a mansion, which is not small, and can be used by Brother to spend the rest of his life there. ”

Zhang Chao is really not stingy, and he gave three suggestions, and each has its own benefits.

Ding Qi was still struggling with the first and second rules, and he didn't know how to make a choice.

Staying in the house is equivalent to being under house arrest, and it will be very difficult for him to go out.

But if he goes to the army, although he has freedom, he doesn't like to fight and kill by nature, don't say that he wants to make a contribution, that is, he may encounter danger at any time, so losing his life is not the same as choosing the road.

is the third one, I went to Chenliu, and I have freedom and a family. Although he will leave the state, in fact, since his brother's death, there is no place for him to be nostalgic. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Chao's voice fell, Ding Qi had already made a decision, "General, I want to choose the third way, and I don't know if it's okay to go to Chenliu." ”

"Of course, you can go, you can do it at any time. And I will also send a plate of money for Brother Jianshu's food and drink. Zhang Chao seemed to have guessed Ding Qi's choice a long time ago, so he promised on the spot.

"Okay, then thank the general first." When Ding Qi heard that he would receive a certain amount of financial assistance, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Well, it's just that Brother Jianshu shouldn't be happy too early, I also have conditions." While seeing Ding Qi's great joy, Zhang Chao's words were like a basin of cold water, which made Ding Qi's smile that was about to bloom immediately retract.

He didn't think that Zhang Chao still had conditions, so Ding Qi said: "Could it be that the general wants to regret it?" ”

"A man stands between heaven and earth, his words must be done, and his deeds must be fruitful, how can he regret it. I just want to say that Brother Jianshu can leave, but these two people around you really want to stay. Of course, for your safety along the way, the rest of the home will be able to take with you. Zhang Chao was righteous, and then turned into a smiling face, and his eyes were on Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

In any case, these two people will definitely not let go, otherwise they will eventually become his generals, and may even be their enemies.

Hearing that Gao Shun, who was not allowed to follow Zhang Liao, Ding Qi was naturally a little disappointed. But what he knows better is that even if Zhang Chao said so, there is no possibility of repentance in the matter, and it is better to sell a favor than not agreeing to offend the other party. Besides, as long as he arrived at Chenliu safely, he would not need such a martial artist to protect himself day and night.

Thinking like this, Ding Qi said: "In this way, I will listen to the general, and my two generals will stay, but I still hope that the general can be treated well." ”

"Haha, please rest assured Brother Jianshu at this point, now I will reuse the two of them." As he spoke, Zhang Chao set his eyes on Zhang Liao's body and said: "Zhang Liao obeys the order, and now orders you to be the head of the regiment, command the subordinates of a legion, and lead two thousand soldiers; Gao Shun obeyed the order, and now you are the leader of the trapping camp, and you are responsible for training soldiers, and the required personnel can be selected from a legion. ”

In front of Ding Qi, Zhang Chao promised Zhang Liao and Gao Shun high positions, expressing his intention to reuse the two.

Ding Qi was very happy when he heard that the two generals had a good way out, and when he turned around and saw that the two generals were still standing there, he said unhappily: "Wen Yuan, Peping, Er and the other two have not thanked the general?" ”

Under Ding Qi's attention, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun reluctantly said, "Thank you, General." ”

"Haha, I know that you are still unwilling, but it doesn't matter, I will wait for Brother Jianshu to arrive safely in Chenliu, and then ask him to write a letter to you, at that time you know that I have no intention of playing tricks." Zhang Chao watched the two of them reluctantly pay homage, and knew that the two of them had not completely thought about it, so they could be put aside first. He needs generals who are willing to put their hearts and souls into it, not people who have different hearts. In that case, it is better to put it aside and observe it for a while.

Zhang Chao said all the doubts in the hearts of the two, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun really didn't know what to say. The two also secretly decided in their hearts, wait to see how Zhang Chao behaves, if what he does is the same as what he says, what if he repays him?

Zhang Chao was sent out of the mansion by Ding Qixiao, and after coming to the street again, Guo Jia on the side gave up his hand and said: "The lord is wise, in this way, the influence of the Ding family in Bingzhou will become weaker and weaker." ”

Regarding Zhang Chao's way of solving things, Guo Jia admires it from the bottom of his heart.

If Ding Qi is left in Jinyang City, even if it is a good food and drink, it is inevitable that some people will have two minds. But sending them away is completely different, as long as Ding Qi leaves, it is equivalent to the Ding family completely leaving the state, which will play a very positive role in the next unification of people's hearts.

"Hahaha, don't praise me, so I will be proud." Zhang Chao couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Guo Jia, who was known as a ghost talent, praise himself so much. This made a joke: "By the way, can the affairs of those women be handled?" ”

"Ahh I have already informed me of this, but everyone has refused on the grounds that they are busy. When it came to the matter of the more than 30 young women, Guo Jia blushed, obviously this matter was not done well.

Hearing that everyone was refusing, Zhang Chao smiled. He knows very well that as a man, there is no one who doesn't like beautiful women, and the reason why he doesn't agree is nothing more than a matter of face. In that case, he is adding a fire. "Well, Feng Xiao, Ziman, and Zhongkang obey orders."

"Yes." Guo Jia, Dian Wei and Xu Chu didn't know what happened to Zhang Chao, but seeing that he was so solemn, they hurriedly dismounted and half-knelt on the ground and agreed.

"I order the three of you to do what you have just said, and all those who have been named before must be chosen, otherwise they will be regarded as not completing the task, and I will punish the three of you. Okay, let's do it quickly, and make sure it is done before dinner, otherwise you won't have to rest. Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, Zhang Chao announced the order loudly, and then laughed after saying it, and whipped away, and after him, the eight iron guards followed in turn, leaving Guo Jia and the three of them still kneeling on the ground stupidly, a little overwhelmed.

...... ......

and the new shepherd's mansion of the state.

At this time, the courtyard was bustling, with soldiers, maids, brocade guards, iron guards and others coming and going, moving things from the outside to the inside in an orderly manner.

The figure is slender and wears a slightly simple plain white long brocade robe, and a wide purple belt tightens the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but it also gives people a sense of elegance and luxury. Wearing a light purple open gauze on the outside, every move has caused the gauze to have a sense of sparkling flow, and a piece of jade jade pendant is tied around her waist, adding an elegant atmosphere The woman is directing everyone's behavior at this time, she is Bai Tong who followed Zhang Chao from Chen to Jinyang City.
