Yang Zan heard it and said: "Lord Situ is afraid that his words are serious, Zhang Xiuwei can fight with Li Dao, I am afraid he is not a disloyal person." Moreover, I heard that he and Cai Bojiao rescued Dongguan and Lantai books together, which can be described as a blessing for my Shilin. Although he is a military general, his strategic insight is no less than that of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty, and he will not be as crude as Dong Zhuo. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yun said: "When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang that day, why didn't he promote my Shilin as an official, Cai Yong, Xun Shuang, Yang Biao and others were all promoted by Dong Zhuo, that is, the old man's current position of Situ, and it was also promoted by Dong Zhuo. But that day, we could have imagined that Dong Zhuo would do this beast now, staying overnight in the dragon bed, * the palace maid, burning Luoyang, and digging the tomb of the emperor. It can be said that every crime is enough to make Dong Thief behead him once, but he has a heavy army, and we are helpless. ”

After a pause, Wang Yun continued: "The old man separates Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, but he takes a fancy to Lu Bu's courage and strategy, and when the little girl marries him, the old man is also his father-in-law, and he will be more able to control Lu Bu at that time." But Zhang Xiu is different, he is brave and strategic, and it is not easy for the old man to control. Now it seems that although Zhang Xiu is a loyal person, the old man would rather abandon it than use it, rather than want the situation to be controlled in the future and Dong Zhuo second, when Zhang Xiu can do it, I am afraid that no one can control it. ”

Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui heard this, nodded at the same time, and said, "What Lord Situ said is very true. ”

Wang Yun said: "In this way, when Dong Zhuo proposed to build a Wuwu at the court meeting, we will help Dong Zhuo with words to please Dong Zhuo, so that he can enjoy himself as soon as possible, indulge in wine, and we will do a series of schemes to kill the national thieves." ”

Yang Zan and Shi Sun Rui said together: "But according to the orders of Lord Situ. ”

……

Wang Yun, Yang Zhan, and Shisun Rui aside, Zhang Xiu said goodbye to Lu Bu and others and returned to the mansion to rest, but after a few days, he went to Cai's mansion to see Cai Yong.

Now Cai's mansion occupies a very large area, all the books transported from Dongguan and Lantai are put in Cai Yong's home, plus Cai Yong's own collection, the entire Cai Mansion can be said to have become the first library of the Han Dynasty, with a collection of nearly 30,000 volumes. Since Cai Yong came to Chang'an, he has been working all day long to sort out the collection, classify and mark the collection, and even Cai Yan has to help from time to time.

Cai Yong heard that Zhang Xiu was visiting, although he was very busy, he also took time to meet. After the two sat down in the hall, Cai Yong went straight to the point and asked, "Bo Yuan is here to talk about the little girl's marriage?" ”

Zhang Xiu was speechless at this anxious old man, and laughed dryly: "No, Xiu is here to ask Mr. Bo about something?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Xiu wants to ask Lord Situ Wang Yun if there is a girl named Xiu'er." ”

As soon as Cai Yong heard Zhang Xiu's words, his face changed immediately, and Huo Ran stood up with a "Teng" sound, glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, pointed at him and said: "You bastard boy, you have a wife at home, and you will marry the old husband's daughter as your wife in the near future, and you are not satisfied with the second wife, and you still want to fight Lord Situ's idea of loving her daughter, don't you really want to have three wives and four concubines to be satisfied." ”

Zhang Xiu listened to Cai Yong's words, and knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Bo Jiao misunderstood, but Xiu asked this question to inquire about the news for his friend." ”

However, Cai Yong obviously didn't believe it, and wondered: "Which friend?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "It's Wenhou Lu Bu, who saw that Xiu was going to marry Yan'er soon, and knew that Yan'er was Mr. Cai's daughter." And after a woman named Xiu'er he met heard that it was a minister, Mr. Bo Jiao was famous in Shilin, and had many friends and protégés, so he should know that this woman was a woman from the He family, so he embroidered to find out the news for him. ”

After Cai Yong heard it, he believed most of it, but still asked: "Is this really the case?" ”

Zhang Xiu said with a sincere face: "Seriously, if Mr. doesn't believe it, you can ask Wen Hou." ”

Cai Yong waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, the old man believes you." On weekdays, I don't see that you kid is not a person who doesn't believe in his word. After saying this, Cai Yong thought carefully for a while before he said: "In the past, when the old man was still familiar with the son, he did hear that there was a girl named Xiu'er in his house, and the old man had seen it and was indeed born with the beauty of the country. However, this girl was not born by the teacher, but after the best friend he met when he was an official in a foreign country, his best friend passed away, so he was accepted as a righteous daughter and raised in the house. However, although Senior Brother Zi has a female name called Xiu'er, there are many ministers of Chang'an, and there are not a few people with female names called Xiu'er, and the old man doesn't know if he is the one Bo Yuan is looking for. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "The information provided by Mr. is enough, and Xiuxiu has another channel to inquire, it should be this woman." ”

Cai Yong nodded after listening to it and said, "You kid don't want to play any tricks to make Yan'er sad." ”

Zhang Xiu saw the nervous behavior of the future father-in-law, and immediately smiled and said: "Xiuzi will not disappoint Yan'er." ”

Cai Yong said: "This is the best. Also, don't call the old man what Mr. is so angry, although Yan'er is not married to you, you can't call my father-in-law yet, just call my uncle now. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "The little nephew has seen Uncle Cai." ”

After that, Zhang Xiu chatted with Cai Yong for a while, but Cai Yong quickly walked away on the grounds of sorting out the book collection. Zhang Xiu went to see Cai Yan again, and the two stayed together for an afternoon, until the sky was already slightly dark, Zhang Xiu was driven back to the house by Cai Yong.

Let's say that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others led troops to crusade against Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and Niu Fu was transferred back to Chang'an to guard Chang'an. Today's Dong Zhuo is not like the general generals in history, who have suffered huge casualties, and he has no generals. With just three more generals, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, and Zhang Xiu, you can know that in a battle with the Kwantung Coalition Army, Dong Zhuo's losses were minimal.

And Li Ru once suggested to Dong Zhuo that Dong Zhuo's army was not an opponent when the Kwantung coalition forces united. Now after retreating to Guanzhong, the princes of Guandong have their own ghosts, and they will definitely kill each other, and when they are exhausted, and after they have recuperated, Dong Zhuo only needs to personally raise the army, and he can dominate the world.

Li Ru's suggestion is obviously clever, in history, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, because he was not able to annex the land of the four states led by Yuan Shao at one time, so the strategy offered by Guo Jia, recuperation, waiting for Yuan Shao's three sons to kill each other, after they were exhausted, Cao Cao's army came out, and the land of the four states fell.

Now Li Ru's advice to Dong Zhuo is obviously similar to Guo Jia's advice to Cao Cao in history, but although the strategies of these two people are similar, the ending is completely different.
