Chapter 23 Dong Zhuo solicited

Seeing that Zhang Ji kept sighing, Zou felt funny, so he said: "The master only knows about Boyuan Jincheng, but he doesn't know the majesty of Boyuan's generals in front of the battle." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ji said curiously: "Madam, what is the matter?" ”

Zou said with a smile: "The concubine just heard the people outside the house talking a few days ago, but she heard Bo Yuan's name, and asked her subordinates to inquire out of curiosity, but she knew that in March, Bo Yuan went out with the Emperor Fu and killed dozens of Qiang generals on the battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the Han army and defeated the Qiang people for a while." ”

After Zhang Ji heard this, he asked, "Bo Yuan, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and nodded, and then told the matter again, Zhang Ji became even more excited after hearing it, and even said: "I can't imagine that Bo Yuan's martial arts are so powerful, and I am afraid that my uncle is not your enemy." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Uncle don't say that, Bo Yuan is grateful to his uncle for his nurturing grace over the years." ”

Zhang Ji stroked his hair and smiled, and the three of them talked for a while before ending the dust-washing banquet in laughter.

After that, Zhang Ji summoned Zhang Xiu to the study, and closed the doors and windows before saying to Zhang Xiu: "Boyuan, Master Dong has also arrived in Chang'an." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, but did not show the slightest expression of surprise, Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu with some solemn eyes, and then said: "This time, Lord Dong came to Chang'an, and in addition to Uncle Wei, there were also Li Ru and Hua Xiong. This Li Ru married the daughter of Lord Dong a few months ago, and Lord Dong can be described as a confidant. And this Huaxiong is the first fierce general under the command of Lord Dong, in my opinion, his martial arts are not under Bo Yuan, he is even valued by Lord Dong, and he is also a confidant, only for his uncle......" Zhang Ji did not say anything more when he said this, but sighed.

Zhang Xiu was thoughtful after hearing this, but still asked first: "Uncle, what's the matter with sighing." ”

Zhang Ji was silent for a moment before he said: "Master Dong brought Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei also knows a little bit about it." Bo Yuan's heroic deeds are known to his uncle, and Lord Dong naturally knows them. Before coming to Chang'an, Lord Dong said something to Uncle Wei alone, which implied that the meaning of recruiting Boyuan as his subordinate was in it, but Boyuan had an army of 30,000 at this time, and his achievements were even worse than that of his uncle, but it was not easy for Uncle Wei to say anything, how to make a decision depends on Boyuan's will, don't worry about being an uncle. ”

Zhang Xiu was a little moved when he heard it, and after listening to Zhang Ji's words, Zhang Xiu also guessed that with Dong Zhuo's character, if it was according to his wishes, it would be good if it was to follow his wishes, and then it would be inexhaustible in glory and wealth, and if it was against his will, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit Zhang Xiu, and there were naturally some threatening words to Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji could let Zhang Xiu make his own decision, without worrying about him, and his love was fully revealed.

Zhang Xiuwen Yan was silent in his heart for a while, in fact, he originally wanted to follow Dong Zhuo for a while, and after Dong Zhuo's death, he had an army in his hand to occupy Wancheng like the original Zhang Xiu, and then according to his own ideas. However, things changed a little quickly, after Huangfu Song left office, Zhang Xiu was in charge of the army, and Zhang Xiu's prestige in the army was very high, even Zhang Wen heard about this matter, so he naturally did not dare to replace Zhang Xiu at will, so Zhang Xiu at this time was more than the original Zhang Xiu mastered an army of 30,000 people in advance, and it did not belong to Dong Zhuo's original department, for Dong Zhuo, who was very ambitious, it was also an unexpected surprise for Zhang Xiu and this army. Because Zhang Xiu's uncle is under his command, and Zhang Xiu also served in his own army, which is considered to be a good fate, so after Dong Zhuo discussed with Li Ru, he felt that Zhang Xiu could be recovered, so he had a conversation with Zhang Ji and now Zhang Ji conveyed Dong Zhuo's solicitation of Zhang Xiu.

Although Zhang Xiu didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he hesitated in the face of Dong Zhuo's solicitation. Even after Dong Zhuo's death, his current general Li Dao and the monk Guo Yan, who served under Niu Fu, also held Guanzhong for several years, if it weren't for the cannibalism to exhaustion, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not dare to go west.

And Zhang Xiu originally wanted to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and then try to Kanto, if he refused Dong Zhuo's solicitation now, it would be tantamount to the opposite of Dong Zhuo, and his army was not as good as Dong Zhuo, and he would occupy the state and county, if Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo would be able to get rid of himself, and there would be Zhang Ji's factor in it, which also had to be Zhang Xiu's consideration.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xiu didn't have a reason not to mix with Dong Zhuo, as long as he followed Dong Zhuo, there were many benefits, but if he didn't mix with Dong Zhuo, there were no benefits, but he put himself in danger. With a wry smile, Zhang Xiu made up his mind and said to Zhang Ji: "Uncle, where is Lord Dong now?" ”

Zhang Ji listened to Zhang Xiu's address and tone of voice to Dong Zhuo, and knew Zhang Xiu's decision, and hurriedly said: "Bo Yuan has thought about it, don't worry about being an uncle." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded with some emotion and said, "I think about it, but Bo Yuan wants to see Master Dong." ”

Zhang Ji smiled and said a few times: "Good, good, good." Uncle Wei gave an explanation to Master Dong. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be so happy, Bo Yuan hasn't seen Lord Dong yet, and he hasn't responded to this matter." ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Li Ru once said to Uncle Wei that Bo Yuan would definitely deal with this matter. Li Ru is like a god, he has not missed a single thing he said, and now listening to the tone of Bo Yuan's speech, Uncle Wei naturally believes what Li Ru said. ”

After listening to Zhang Ji's words, Zhang Xiu was shocked: "Li Ru is really so powerful? ”

Zhang Ji nodded, and said with some sighs: "Every time there is a discussion in the army, Li Ru must be right in every word, and now several of our generals dare not underestimate this scholar, every time we see him, he is respectful, but he doesn't care much about us generals except for official business." ”

Zhang Xiu knew that this was Li Ru avoiding suspicion, and heard Zhang Jiyan Li Ru was so powerful, but Zhang Xiu saved one person in his heart, so he tried to ask: "Uncle has heard of Jia Xu Jia Wen and this person." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ji pondered for a while, and then said for a long time: "I seem to have heard that Niu Fu and Li Ru married Dong Lord Ehime successively that day, and Uncle Wei was also invited to the banquet. Li Ru's banquet was to see a middle-aged scribe, listening to others as if it was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, I heard that this person was Li Ru's friend, so he was invited to this banquet. He was only a small official in the army, and if he wasn't a friend of Li Ru, he wouldn't have been there. What's the matter, Bo Yuan, do you know this person? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "No, I just heard that this person is also from Wuwei, embroidery met villagers in the army, and I heard that this person is famous in the township, and he is in the army of Lord Dong, so I asked this question." ”

Zhang Ji replied with an "oh", and did not talk about Jia Xu again, but said: "It's getting late today, and tomorrow morning I will take you to see Master Dong for my uncle." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, seeing that Zhang Ji was a little dizzy, knowing that he had drunk too much wine just now, he confessed and withdrew. As soon as he got out of the room, he saw Zou holding a bowl of sobering tea, Zhang Xiu saluted and said, "Auntie is careful and knows that my uncle has drunk too much." ”

Zou smiled like a hundred flowers in full bloom, and said, "Bo Yuan, go down and have a good rest." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and retreated. He felt that Zhang Ji and Zou lived a happy life, and took good care of himself, thinking that Zou might be admitted to the house by Cao Cao in the future, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but snort coldly, but he had already made up his mind to save Zhang Ji's life, and beat Cao Cao back, so as not to let the incident in the original history live.
