Zhang Xiu returned home and did not disturb the Zou family, but asked the housekeeper Zhang Yi to take a small piece of silk cloth and pen and ink, and he wrote and drew on the silk cloth, and took some gold Yi from Zhang Yi, asked where the best blacksmith in Chang'an was, and then went straight to the blacksmith shop. When he arrived at the blacksmith's shop, he took the silk cloth and talked to the blacksmith for a while, and when the blacksmith understood, he put down some belongings before leaving under the blacksmith's astonished gaze.

At this time, it was not early, Zhang Xiu went straight to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, at this time Jingzhaoyin's Mansion had become the center of the Han army, and a number of Han army generals basically arrived, and only Zhang Xiu finally arrived because he had to go to the blacksmith shop and missed a little time.

After Zhang Xiu arrived, he sat next to Sun Jian, but Zhang Xiu didn't look very good when he saw Sun Jian, obviously he drank too much last night, and when he saw Zhang Xiu sit down, Sun Jian laughed in a low voice: "Bo Yuan, I'm afraid it was not easy yesterday." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "I just had something to do, so I went to the blacksmith shop in the east of Chang'an City." ”

Sun Jian said strangely: "I look at Bo Yuan's complete weapons, but I can't think of what kind of weapons Bo Yuan wants to fight." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled strangely and said: "But it is for the generals to take advantage of the weapon, and I am afraid that none of the subordinates of this general is his opponent." ”

Sun Jian said with a smile: "Mo is not a person in the Boyuan Division, with Boyuan's superb marksmanship, I think that the people in the Boyuan Division are not weak, and it is possible that the lower subordinates of Jian will be defeated." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "No, it's just a nonsense." ”

Sun Jian thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that no one in the Central Plains has such courage. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Brother Wentai doesn't believe it? ”

Sun Jian said: "But I don't believe it. ”

"So embroidered and bet with Brother Wentai, no one under Brother Wentai is the opponent of my new generals."

Sun Jian said: "What is the bet? ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said: "If Brother Wentai has a daughter in the future, he should marry my son." ”

Sun Jian said with a smile: "Bo Yuan has not yet married a wife, how can he have an heir, and my third son has just been born, and I have not yet had a daughter, Bo Yuan's bet is too much of a joke." ”

Zhang Xiu said secretly in her heart: "Brother Xuande, don't blame the younger brother for robbing your wife, it is true that the age difference between you and Sun Xiaomei is too big, and I can't remember any beauties in the younger generation, in order to make my son's wife more beautiful, I have to wronged you." "This guy didn't think about what to do with his wife, so he helped his son who didn't know where he came from to ask for a wife. On the surface, Zhang Xiu said: "If Brother Wentai has no daughters and I have no children, this bet will be set for Brother Wentai to invite the younger brother to a table of wine and food thirty years later, how about it?" ”

Sun Jian smiled: "Okay, but Bo Yuan will win this bet?" ”

Zhang Xiu said: "If the younger brother loses, I will compensate Brother Wentai for a daughter." ”

Sun Jian was angry, pointed at Zhang Xiu and said, "You ......"

At this moment, Zhang Wen had already come to sit on the main seat, and Sun Jian had to withdraw his finger pointing at Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu whispered to Sun Jian: "Embroidery should be taken as Brother Wentai." ”

When Sun Jian encountered such a scoundrel, he had to smile bitterly. At this time, Zhang Wen seemed to have seen the small movements of Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian, and coughed. Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian immediately sat upright, not squinting.

Zhang Wen nodded and said: "The Qiang people are rampant today, Zhong Ying has led the army to guard the garden tomb, and our army is in Chang'an, these two places can be described as impregnable. However, the Qiang people are still looting all over Yongzhou, what are your good plans? ”

Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, who was sitting opposite Dong Zhuo, said: "My lord, the last general thinks that if you transfer the elite of our army to fight with the Qiang people, you will definitely defeat them with the strength of our army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiu pursed his lips, disappreciating in his heart, and said secretly: "Sure enough, he is an unknown person, and his plans are so superficial." ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals talked about it, but most of the generals looked at Zhou Shen with some disdain.

At this time, Dong Zhuo said: "The last general thinks that what General Dangkou said is reasonable, and the last general has already detected that the Qiang rebels want to attack the garden tomb in order to vent the morale of our army, so the last general thinks that a large army should be mobilized to fight a decisive battle with the Qiang people, and the Qiang people will be driven out of Sanfu in a battle, and then our army will pursue the victory and annihilate the Qiang rebellion." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiu looked at Dong Zhuo a little strangely, seeing this fat man's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, if he didn't know what Dong Zhuo would do in the future and his ambitions, I am afraid that he would also think that he was a great loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuonai is a battlefield general, and what he said represents the meaning of the Kansai generals in the army, plus Zhou Shen, the commander of the Northern Army of the Suwei Jingshi on behalf of his relatives, both factions in the army support the decisive battle between the army and the Qiang people.

Although Zhang Wen has a large number of soldiers, but it can be said that it is elite, I am afraid that only Sun Jian's department, so Zhang Wen also needs to pull one faction to suppress the other faction, but now seeing that the two factions have a unified opinion, Zhang Wen wants to give up this opinion by himself, but it is very difficult, and if one is not done well, it will cause a split among the generals of the Han army.

Therefore, Zhang Wen had to smile and said: "What General Dangkou and General Zhonglang said is reasonable, what else do you have to do?" ”

Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo expressed their positions at the same time, and the rest of the generals were silent, Zhang Wen smiled bitterly, he didn't expect the military discussion to have a result so quickly, but he had to take advantage of the situation, so he ordered: "Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen." ”

The two of them came out at the same time and responded: "The end will be." ”

"Order Dong Zhuo's troops to drag the rebels in Yuanling, wait for Chang'an reinforcements, and then destroy the enemy in a battle."

"No."

"Ordered Zhou Shen to lead the headquarters as the vanguard and go to the garden to aid Zhong Ying's department."

"No."

"Sun Jian."

"The Last Will Be"

"Order you to lead 20,000 soldiers to clear the rebels in the states and counties of Guanzhong, and then go to the garden tomb to meet the main force."

"No."

"Zhang Xiu."

"The end will be."

"Order you to lead 30,000 soldiers of the headquarters to walk with the general's army."

"My lord, the last general's department has been fighting for more than four months, the people are sleepy and the horses are tired, and it is unbearable to fight again, I hope that the lord will order the 25,000 troops of the last general to stay in Chang'an, and the last general will order 5,000 elite cavalry to go to the garden tomb first, so as to help Lord Dong drag the enemy army."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wen was silent for a while, and only nodded after a long time: "Okay." In this case, Chang'an was handed over to Zhang Xiu's department to guard, and another 10,000 soldiers would be allocated to your command to guard Chang'an. Thou hast led five thousand elites first. ”

"No"

"The rest of the generals will go with the army of the generals, and the soldiers will be in the garden mausoleum."

"No......"

……

Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian walked side by side, and when they got out of the gate, they saw Dong Zhuo in front of the door, and Zhang Xiu stepped forward with Sun Jian and said, "I've seen Master Dong." But Zhang Xiu does not belong to Dong Zhuo now, so he is called Dong in front of people.

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Boyuan young hero, this trip is to help the general kill the enemy and see the merits." ”

Zhang Xiuying said: "No." ”

Then Dong Zhuo turned his gaze to Sun Jian and said: "Wentai has heard about the Yellow Turban, but he is also a warrior in the world. ”

Sun Jian didn't even dare to say goodbye to the two, and Dong Zhuo said goodbye to the two after a polite exchange. Sun Jian and Zhang Xiu walked side by side, but said: "This Lord Dong is not as brutal as a jackal as the Kwantung family scholars say, but he is a corporal of Lixian. In his words, he obviously had a good impression of Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Xiu's mouth should be, but in his heart he secretly said: "It turns out that Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian have already formed a good relationship, no wonder Dong Zhuo chose Sun Jian to marry when the princes of the Eighteenth Road in history begged for Dong, but in the end he was rejected by Sun Jian." ”

Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian talked all the way, and before they arrived at the camp, the two said goodbye to each other and returned to the camp.
