Zhang Xiu was a little frightened when she heard this, nodded and said: "I didn't expect Gongming to have such a mind, from the point of view of embroidery, you also admire Gongming very much?" ”

Hu Zhen smiled and nodded.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Since Gongming still lacks military experience, Wencai should give more guidance to Gongming." ”

Hu Zhen replied: "Naturally, I still want Brother Gongming to give me more guidance on his martial arts." ”

Zhang Xiu laughed and scolded when he heard this: "Did Wencai say that Xiu usually doesn't instruct you in martial arts?" ”

Hu Zhen followed Zhang Xiu at the earliest, and when there were only two of them, he was not too serious, and often made some jokes, Hu Zhen heard Zhang Xiu speak, and replied with a smile: "This naturally doesn't dare, the lord has also taught Zhen a lot, but Gongming and the lord have completely different martial arts paths, and it is naturally better for multiple people to point out." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Let's go out first to help Gongming select some soldiers, and train into the army as soon as possible." ”

Hu Zhen saw that Zhang Xiu had given an order, and hurriedly responded: "No." ”

……

After Zhang Xiu's army was stationed in Yang County for three days, there were scouts to report that a large number of cavalry were coming from the north, Zhang Xiu was shocked after receiving the report from the scouts, and immediately invited Jia Xu to tell the matter again, but after listening to it, Jia Xu said: "I think that this should be Niu Fu or Li Wei's army, come to take over Yang County for the adults, and let the army return to Anyi." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled coldly when she heard this, and said secretly: "You guys should fight for merit, the purpose of my coming to Hedong this time has been achieved, and Xu Huang has been taken under his command." After Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang next year, he can be promoted without merit, and you can fight for the credit of exterminating the white wave and yellow scarf. ”

Before long, the scout came to report, but the army that came was under the banner of Li Dao, and it was really caught by Jia Xu. Zhang Xiu nodded to indicate that he knew, then waved his hand to let the scout out, and then asked Hu Zhen to straighten out the soldiers and horses, while he and Xu Huang went out of the camp gate first to wait.

When Li Dao led 10,000 flying bear troops and 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to the front of the camp, he saw that Zhang Xiu's 30,000 troops were already waiting in front of the camp.

Li Dao saw that he was a little displeased, so he first came out of the crowd and pointed at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Zhang Boyuan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Xiu held his gun and hugged his fists and said: "Although I have seen Brother Zhiran's banner early, I embroidered it just in case, and I should wait in formation." ”

Li Wei snorted and said, "Why didn't Bo Yuan garrison Anyi, and when he came here, didn't he forget General Niu's order?" ”

Zhang Xiu sneered and replied: "Don't dare, Xiu received a letter of help from the county order of Yang County a few days ago, saying that Yang County was surrounded by an army of 100,000, so he led the army to rescue." ”

Li Dao said: "General Niu asked Bo Yuan to garrison Anyi, which is the front line, but Bo Yuan is suspected of violating the order. ”

Zhang Xiu sneered: "Brother Zhiran, don't talk nonsense, General Niu will order Zeng Yan to say that if the thieves attack the rest of the counties, Xiu will lead the troops to respond." The day before yesterday, Yang County was besieged, and embroidery was also ordered. ”

Li Wei snorted, and did not dwell on this matter, but said: "Now that our army has come, and the siege of Yangxian has been lifted, Bo Yuan can immediately return to the army to garrison Anyi, don't be taken advantage of by the white wave and yellow turbans." ”

Zhang Xiu snorted lightly and replied: "This is an embroidery matter, don't worry about it." Our army will return to Anyi early tomorrow morning, but I wish Brother Zhiran an early opportunity to lead the army to break the white wave and yellow scarf. After speaking, he hugged his fist towards Li Dao.

Li Dao returned the salute at will, and then let the soldiers set up camp on the side, but Zhang Xiu led the army back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Xiu asked Hu Zhen to go down to arrange the camp, but he found Xu Huang and asked, "Does Gongming have a family in Yang County?" ”

After hearing this, Xu Huang replied: "There is still an old mother in the city. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "My army will be stationed outside Anyi City tomorrow, there is still a courtyard in Anyi, which has many guest rooms, Gongming might as well take his mother to Anyi City, so as to fulfill his filial piety." ”

After hearing this, Xu Huang hesitated: "This ......"

Zhang Xiu said: "Uncle Xiu, Wencai, and Mr. Jia all live in other courtyards, but Gongming is not polite, and filial piety should be the first for children. If it is still early today, Gongming will go back to the city to clean up one or two, pick up the old lady to the camp, and arrange a car to pick up the old lady to Anyi. ”

Xu Huang nodded with some emotion when he heard this: "Huang thanked the lord for his kindness." ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Gongming should hurry up and enter the city, the old man is attached to old things, and it will take a while for Gongming to clean up and stop, so don't miss the time to go out of the city." ”

"No."

……

When the sky was about to darken, Xu Huang took his mother out, the old woman thanked Zhang Xiu well, and asked Xu Huang to work well for Zhang Xiu, seeing Xu Huang's grateful face, Zhang Xiu knew that he had accepted Xu Huang's heart, and sighed at the same time, the poor scholar is good, as long as he is enviable, he can basically succeed. Thinking of the original historical Xu Huang just started to follow Yang Feng, who surrendered to Li Dao, Zhang Xiu felt that this was a waste of Xu Huang's time, with Xu Huang's martial arts, it would be great if he could participate in the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, but now it is promising, and there is definitely one more general who can leave a name on the Tiger Prison Pass.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xiu led the army back to Anyi, but it was somewhat unexpected by Li Dao, but when he saw that Zhang Xiu's army had left, he didn't think much about this reason, but thought about how to exterminate the white wave and yellow scarves and earn more military achievements.

This time, Zhang Xiu's expedition time can be said to be the shortest, from the beginning of the expedition from the receipt of the letter of help from the county order of Yang County to the return of the army to re-garrison Anyi, it was only half a month, and when Zhang Xiu returned to Anyi, Hu Che'er also returned. After settling Xu Huang's mother and son, Zhang Xiu set up a reception banquet for Xu Huang in the other courtyard, and all Zhang Xiu's henchmen attended, the protagonist is naturally Xu Huang, but Zhang Xiu's subordinates are not a few people, most of Xu Huang know, just send Zhang Ji and Hu Che'er, this time they also met together, Zhang Xiu treated Xu Huang very well, Xu Huang was naturally very grateful.

After that, Zhang Xiu and the others returned to the general before the expedition, only training the army on weekdays, and several generals took turns to guard the camp, Zhang Xiu was afraid that Zhang Ji would work, so he let Xu Huang replace Zhang Ji in shifts. And Hu Che'er still serves as Zhang Xiu's bodyguard, and it has become a practice to be alone.

Time soon stepped into August, in July, Baibo Yellow Turban organized another attack, this time it was designed by Li Dao and Niu Fu, and the leader Guo Tai was killed in battle, and Guo Tai's general Yang Feng surrendered to Li Dao, leaving only Li Le, Hu Cai, and Han Xian to lead the remnants back to Taihang Mountain, but it was no longer a threat. Although the Baibo Yellow Turban had been broken, the imperial court was worried that it would be revived, so it ordered Niu Fu and Li Wei's army to continue to garrison Huoxian as a precaution, while Zhang Xiu's army continued to guard Anyi as a barrier to the north of Luoyang.
