Chapter Ninety-Six: Chen Song's Departure

It is said that Zhang Xiu got out of Dong's Mansion and returned to his mansion, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Hu Zhen, and Hu Che'er were all in the house, Zhang Ji saw that Zhang Xiu came back safely and sound, and immediately asked: "Bo Yuan, did Dong Gong punish you heavily?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm idle at home, and the army is temporarily led by my uncle." ”

Zhang Ji heard this, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "That's fine, but it's not for Uncle to talk about you, Bo Yuan is really impulsive this time." Li Dao is Dong Gong's confidant general, this is a big enmity between you and him, I'm afraid I can't solve it. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and snorted coldly and said: "It's not a pity to kill innocent people like this." ”

Hearing this, Xu Huang immediately praised: "What the lord said is very true, Li Dao's death is not a pity, and in the future, Huang should use the big axe in his hand to cut off his head to pay tribute to the people near Luoyang who were plagued by him." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, but said with a smile: "Gongming is afraid that this wish will not come true, and Xiu will also use the tiger head golden gun in his hand to pierce a big hole in his head to pay tribute to the villagers." ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he laughed and said: "The lord thinks so, but Huang doesn't dare to compete with the lord." ”

Zhang Ji saw that Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang were unscrupulously discussing who would cut down Li Dao's rank in the future, sighed and shook his head: "You, alas, ......"

Zhang Ji was speechless here, but Jia Xu said with a smile: "Actually, Lord Zhang didn't get nothing this time, at least after the people spread the news, the people knew that Lord Zhang was different from Li Ji and others, but he was a person who really served the people, but he won the hearts of many people." ”

Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu's words, but he thought of the people who were harmed by Li Dao, so he asked Hu Zhen: "Wencai, what happened to the people whose homes were destroyed?" ”

Hu Zhen replied: "Back to the lord, Zhen has asked the soldiers to gather the people and build houses for them again, and I believe that they will soon be able to resume their previous lives." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded, and then sighed: "Alas, the troubled times are about to begin, and it is the people who suffer." ”

Several people were silent after hearing this.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, but several people heard it and came to the door together, Zhang Xiu saw that someone wanted to approach the house, but the porter was desperately stopping, Zhang Xiu opened his voice and asked, "What's the noise?" ”

The porter heard Zhang Xiu's voice, but he replied: "Back to the young master, there are people outside the door, saying that the old lady and the young master's wife are driving, and the little one does not dare to call the shots, and is ready to report to the young master, but one person claims to be the brother of the young lady and wants to break in, so there is a dispute." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said, "It must be Auntie and Yao'er who are here from Chang'an." After speaking, he came to the door with a few people, and saw Chen Song arguing with some family members, and there was a small car behind, which should be Zhang Xiu's wife, Chen Song's sister Chen Yao and Zhang Ji's wife Zou.

Zhang Ji saw it, but he drank the housekeeper first, and then said: "The people are not sensible, Song'er and Yao'er are here, go into the house first." ”

It's just that Chen Song didn't agree as Zhang Ji imagined, but he walked up to Zhang Xiu and said loudly: "Zhang Xiu, let me ask you, you have led the army to chase and kill the deserters in Bingzhou in the past two days. ”

Zhang Xiu listened, although he felt a little strange, but still nodded.

Chen Song saw Zhang Xiu nodding, and immediately glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, and said: "Zhang Xiu, my father and I have misjudged you, it seems that my father was entrusted to him that day. Thou hast commanded thy men to slaughter the people,* and I would like to eat thy flesh raw, and thou hast commanded thy men to slaughter them wantonly. ”

Zhang Xiu felt inappropriate when he heard Chen Song just start talking, but Chen Song gushed endlessly, and Zhang Xiu didn't even have a chance to interject. When Chen Song finished speaking, Zhang Ji immediately said: "Song'er shut up, things are not as you imagined, everything was done by Li Dao's subordinates, Bo Yuan ......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Chen Song sneer and said, "Sure enough, I admitted it." Li Dao and Zhang Xiu jointly led the army to chase and kill the deserters in Bingzhou, you are all Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Dong Zhuo is a wolf with ambition, and wants to rebel against the Tao and abolish things, Li Dao and you Zhang Xiu are Dong Zhuo's minions, I can't imagine that you Zhang Xiu is full of benevolence and righteousness on weekdays, but today he is doing such a tragic thing. After speaking, he paused, and then said: "But thinking of your kindness to me for many years, I, Chen Song, am a person with clear grievances. I will repay this kindness in the future, but from today onwards, I, Chen Song, will break off with your kindness, and I will have nothing to do with it. My sister Chen Yao has married you, I hope you can treat her well, otherwise I, Chen Song, will not let you go. After speaking, ignoring Chen Yao's desperate crying in the car, he turned his head and left.

Zhang Ji said on the side: "Bo Yuan, the truth of the matter is not like this, let's go and Song'er to make it clear." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it, but shook his head and said: "Song'er is already old, he has his own way, now it's time to let him break through, although his martial arts are not strong, but ordinary men are not close, and let him break through in the world." Then he commanded, "Let's help Auntie and Yao'er into the house." The maid on the side whispered.

After Zou and Chen Yao entered the house, after listening to Zhang Ji tell the whole story in the hall, they all said that Chen Song was too impulsive. Chen Yao kept sobbing in a low voice, but Zhang Xiu asked everyone to go back to the room to rest because she was tired after the war, and she helped Chen Yao back to the room to comfort her.

The two have not seen each other since Zhang Xiu arrived in Hedong, at this time Chen Yao is already seventeen years old (virtual age), but he is a lot more mature than before, Chen Yao is not too tall, he was born petite and lovely, but after his sobbing, there was a more pitiful atmosphere, which made Zhang Xiu's love and pity heavier. After carefully comforting Chen Yao, the two were newly married after a long absence, and the house was naturally full of spring.

Besides, Chen Song, after scolding Zhang Xiu, left Zhang Xiu's mansion, and secretly sulked in his heart, but he didn't expect that he and his sister would be rescued from the siege by himself from the army, and his righteous brother Zhang Xiu, who carefully taught him to become a talent, would be a demon who wantonly slaughtered the people and made soldiers * women, but he couldn't accept such a gap. Sulking, he found a tavern in the city and drank sullen wine.

Naturally, some people in the tavern are commenting on politics, and the ones who talk the most are naturally Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, who have been in the limelight recently. At this time, a merchant said: "Alas, the Xiliang army doesn't know whether it is a soldier or a thief, I heard that Dong Zhuo's henchman Li Dao slaughtered the people outside the city, * women, and used the heads of the people as the enemy's level to ask for credit, and his subordinates are like this, it seems that He Jin really led the wolf into the house that day." ”

When Chen Song heard this, he snorted softly, but when the other person spoke, his heart was shocked. I only heard one person answer: "It's not like that, I heard that General Zhang Xiuzhang, the general of Dong Zhuo's department, learned that Li Dao commanded his troops to plague the people, but he directly waved his army to attack Li Dao's department, killing Li Dao's own nephew and one of his henchmen, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to arrive, I'm afraid even Li Dao himself would have died at the hands of General Zhang." ”

After saying this, the merchant asked, "Is this true?" ”

The man said: "This is natural, I was originally a person outside Luoyang City, but yesterday I went to the north of the mountain to cut some firewood and sell it in the city, escaped a catastrophe, and then returned to the village when I learned about it, fortunately I am the only one left in my family, but many villagers have been affected by Li Dao's department, fortunately, General Zhang appeared at the last moment, saved everyone, and let his soldiers help everyone build houses, rebuild their homes, the villagers are very grateful to Lord Zhang, I don't believe you can go outside the city to listen." ”

The merchant sighed: "I can't imagine that Dong Zhuo has such a good official as Lord Zhang for the people, but he almost killed Dong Zhuo's henchman, and he is not afraid of Dong Zhuo's revenge?" ”

The man said: "I don't know, but Master Zhang's martial arts are strong and he has heavy soldiers, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo won't dare to kill Lord Zhang at will." ”

The merchant said, "I can't imagine that an ordinary villager like you can have such knowledge. The conversation continued.

Here Chen Song finally heard the whole story, but he secretly blamed himself for being impulsive, he just said those words and walked out, but now he has no face to go back, and he secretly regrets it in his heart. After putting all the food and wine on the table into his stomach, Chen Song went to some villages outside Luoyang City to verify whether what the woodcutter said was correct, but what he heard from many villagers was similar to what the woodcutter said, and saw many of Zhang Xiu's soldiers helping to build houses, Chen Song knew that Zhang Xiu was indeed to blame this time, and he had no face to see Zhang Xiu again. After thinking about it carefully, I remembered that my father had a friend back then, who was the great-grandson of Confucius, named Kong Rong, and now served as a taishou in Beihai, Qingzhou, so he decided to defect to him.
