Chapter 308: Return to Wancheng

… Juice Jia Xu spoke! "Hangu Guan has not been repaired for many years. Dilapidated, willing to be too far away from Chang'an, not conducive to defending Chang'an, thinking that when in the west of Hangu Pass, choose a dangerous place to build a pass. ”

Listening to Jia Xu's words, Zhang Xiu remembered that in history, Hangu Pass was abandoned in these years, and Huangguan was built at the same time. Hangu Pass was abolished, and it made sense for the relic pass to be built, so Zhang Xiu nodded, nodded, and said: "In this way, Deheng led people to inspect the terrain, draw a sketch and then go back to Wancheng to discuss this matter." Ma Jun heard it and hurriedly went out to receive the order.

Everything has been discussed, Zhang Xiu asked people to send wine, flesh and fruits, and held a banquet to celebrate, but before the banquet, Zhang Xiu still added: "You can taste it, you can't get drunk." ”

At the beginning of the year, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, fled from Chang'an with the help of Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others, and Li Guofan and the three thieves chased after him. The white wave thief Li Le and others hijacked the car halfway, and finally fortunately the army of the general and the fat cavalry general Zhang Xiu rescued the car, so that the Son of Heaven would not fall into the hands of the thief. At the same time, since Dong Zhuo's death, the three thieves who had been entrenched in Guanzhong for more than two years all died under Zhang Xiu's soldiers, and the army was absorbed, and the white wave thieves were not spared, and they were defeated and incorporated by Zhang Xiu.

Later, Zhang Xiu secretly made an alliance with Cao Cao, who was the pastor of Chongzhou, and Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xu County and changed his name to Xu Du. And Zhang Xiu was the only place to be subordinate and was responsible for the restoration of Luoyang. Later, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui's army Kou Guanzhong fell into Chang'an, Zhang Xiu and the Xiliang army fought for nearly half a year, and finally took advantage of the heavy snow to break it and recapture Chang'an.

And Yizhou Zhang Ren also retreated before the arrival of heavy snow, and before the arrival of winter, the war in various places basically stopped.

Later, Zhang Xiubiao Huang Zhong led the Mabu army of 70,000 to guard Chang'an as the general of Zhengxi, and Xu Huang as the general of Zhenxi to train 60,000 recruits in Chang'an, with a total of 130,000 troops in Chang'an City, and Li Yan as Jing Zhaoyin to deal with Chang'an government affairs.

After Zhang Xiu's army returned to Wancheng, 20,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 cavalry were transferred to the division, and Zhao Yun was the commander of the general, Du Yi was the commander of Luoyang, and Hua Xiong was the fierce general, stationed in Hedong County; Xu Rong was the general of Zhennan and stationed troops in Hanzhong County.

In addition to the official position of the general is higher than that of the generals of the four expeditions and four towns, the general is still the official position before Zhang Xiu entered the position of general of the fat cavalry, which has a special significance in Zhang Xiu's army, and it is obvious that Zhang Xiu has set the status of the first general in Zhao Yun's army.

Sikong Cao Cao was a general, and Zhang Xiu, the general of the fat cavalry, rescued the driver and Ping Kou, and played Zhang Xiu as the general of the fat cavalry.

After returning to Wancheng, Zhang Xiu naturally rewarded his subordinates, in addition to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Hua Xiong, and Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu also said Tai Shi Ci as the general of Pingxi, and Zhang Liao as the general of Pingbei. Cao Cao decided to agree with all of them after discussing with the strategists, after all, now they are allies with Zhang Xiunai, and secondly, the official position is very empty, and if a general has a title without a single soldier under his command, he is only a single commander. And since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, the surrounding princes have all set their eyes on him, and Zhang Xiu suddenly acted in such a high-profile manner, obviously with the purpose of helping him divert the attention of other princes. Of course, Zhang Xiu also wanted to ask for an official position to appease his subordinates, and the two were mutually beneficial, and Cao Cao naturally responded to all of them.

Step into the A.D. year. Half a year after welcoming the Son of Heaven to Xudu, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, changed the Yuan to Jian'an, two years earlier than the historical change of the Yuan.

Wancheng, the fat cavalry general abandoned, Zhang Xiu returned to Wancheng and resumed his previous leisurely life, at this time he was practicing guns in the backyard, Chen Yao was playing with a child in his hand, it was Cai Yan's daughter Zhang Feng born to Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xiu was practicing his gun, Hu Che'er walked in from outside and reported to Zhang Xiu: "Lord." General Taishi brought a strong man to ask for a meeting. ”

Zhang Xiu let out a light "oh", put away the tiger-headed golden gun, took the cloth handed to him by Chen Yao, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Ziyi personally brought it." The person who came here this time should have some skills, right? ”

Hu Che'er smiled and said, "I tried that method, and my strength is good, unlike those who came before, all of them were wine bags and rice bags." ”

But since Zhang Xiu returned to Wancheng, there are many people who come to meet each other throughout the winter, Zhang Xiu used to be difficult to find a talent, and now he is famous, the four generals of the Han Dynasty are all under Zhang Xiu, and there are two generals in the four towns. However, most of the people who defected were very mediocre, and in the past three months, they have also accepted Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, two useful young generals, and at this time the two have been arranged to go to the division and be Zhao Yun's deputy.

can be praised by Hu Che'er for his good strength, and Tai Shici personally brought it, but I am afraid that the skills under his hands are really not bad. After Zhang Xiu immediately changed his clothes, he came to the hall and saw Tai Shici talking to a burly man with a loyal face.

After Zhang Xiu came out, he immediately arched his hand and said: "The general is busy with business, and the curtain is slow for the strong man." ”

Tai Shici next to him heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, Zhang Xiu's subordinate military ministers all knew that Zhang Xiu's busy business was a joke, and he was the most leisurely among everyone.

, The big man didn't know about it, and after hearing it, he immediately saluted and said: Wang Wei, a person who knocks on the grass, has seen the general, has been received by the general, and the grass people are fortunate to have three lives. ”

Hearing that this person was talking well, Zhang Xiu nodded secretly. Hearing that Wang Wei claimed to be from Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu was puzzled: "Since the strong man is from Xiangyang, why did he go to Nanyang to join the army?" ”

Wang Wei heard Zhang Xiu's question, snorted angrily, and replied: "Although Lord Liu is virtuous and loves the people, everything in the army is in charge of Cai Mao. Cai Mao is narrow-minded and nepotistic, and his younger brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He are all gentlemen, with wine bags and rice bags, and they have no ability at all, but they rely on Cai Mao to carry them and occupy a high position. Wei has a friend who is hired, and his skills are not much better than Cai Zhong and Cai Hegao, only in terms of martial arts, Cai Mao is not his opponent, so he is hated by Cai Mao. Repeated military exploits are only a partial general. Wei heard that the general's subordinates did not talk about their background, but only asked about their ability, so Witt came to agree. ”

Hearing Wang Wei say that he had a friend Wenpin, Zhang Xiu probably thought of the origin of this Wang Wei, in history, Wang Wei was Liu Biao's general, and his ability was not bad, and this Wang Wei guessed the most is loyalty. After Cai and Liu Zong surrendered, all the people in Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, leaving only this Wang Wei to guard Cai and Liu Zong's side, until Cao Cao sent chasing soldiers to kill Cai's orphans and widows, and Wang Wei also died in battle, which shows his loyalty.

Zhang Xiu set his eyes on Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci's face was solemn, and he replied: "Lord, Wang Wei's courage is better than Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, and it can be of great use." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and looked at Tai Shici with a smile, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan came to join the army, Zhang Liao personally selected and sent it to Zhang Xiu for the purpose, Zhang Xiu tried his ability and immediately sent it to Zhao Qi to serve as a deputy. However, Tai Shici also participated in the selection, but in the past three months, he has not selected a person who can be of great use, and when he saw Wang Wei today, he immediately brought him to see Zhang Xiu.

Although the generals in Zhang Xiu's army have a very good relationship, they will also secretly compete with each other, but everyone is a humble gentleman, although they compete in secret, but they will not hurt the friendship, and the winning party who wins the credit will naturally set up a banquet and release wine to invite everyone, which has become an unwritten rule for several generals under Zhang Xiu.

Zhao Yun captured Ma Dai before, Tai Shi Ci led Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang's two wine jars to drink up the wine in Zhao Yun's house, although Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er are known as wine jars, but Zhao Yun's family has a lot of wine, and after drinking it all, the two of them were drunk in Zhao Yun's house all night, and from the second day, Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu began to find Zhao Yun and Tai Shici The two "culprits" of trouble. And Zhao Yun was also lucky, he was transferred to Sili by Zhang Xiu, and only Tai Shici was left to suffer.

After that, Tai Shici was defeated by Zhang Liao in the selection of talents for a while, and now he has found Wang Wei, so he naturally praises him.

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "How is the ability, I have tried Fang Zhi, Zixin will follow the future." After speaking, he led Wang Wei to the school field in the mansion of the fat cavalry general, and Tai Shici and Hu Che'er naturally followed.

When he arrived at the school field, there were already guards who brought Sa Lu and several war horses, Zhang Xiu jumped on Sa Lu, took the tiger head golden gun, and then said to Wang Wei: "Choose a good horse and weapon, come and have a few tricks with the general." ”

Wang Wei looked at Tai Shi Ci, but Tai Shi Ci smiled and said: "Zixin can fight with all his strength, the lord's martial arts are strong, and Ci is not as good." ”

After Wang Wei finished playing, he nodded heavily and took a big knife from the weapon rack. Then he got on the horse, and saw Zhang Xiu holding a gun in the field, pointing at him, Wang Wei stabbed his horse and slashed at Zhang Xiu.

"Hold,"

Fighting with knives and guns, Zhang Xiu sat firmly on top of the dew and said, "The strength is good, and the knife technique is used." ”

Wang Wei saw that he couldn't shake Zhang Xiu with all his strength, just like he had faced Tai Shici in the military camp before, he knew that he was far from Zhang Xiu's martial arts, and he no longer kept it, so he immediately used all his skills and swung his knife at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu smiled and used the tiger's head golden gun to point Wang Wei's knife, and then exchanged a few moves with him, hitting about ten, and when he turned, he suddenly shouted: "Let go." At the same time as the words fell, Wang Wei only felt a pain in his right hand holding the knife, and the big knife couldn't hold it and fell directly to the ground, and in a panic, he only felt that his throat was pressed against a cold light, and when he looked down, he saw that his throat had been pressed against by Zhang Xiu with the sharp tip of the tiger's head golden gun.

Wang Wei hurriedly said: "The general's martial arts are strong, and the grass people worship him." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and withdrew the tiger's head golden gun, and then said: "The martial arts are not bad, can you know the art of war?" ”

Wang Wei replied: "I know a little bit about it." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "There is a sand table over there, and I will play a game with Ben General." ”

This sand table is Zhang Xiu after a little explanation of Ma Jun made, Ma Jun this craftsman, making a sand table can be said to be extremely easy, Zhang Xiu's mansion in this sand table can be said to be the largest, the whole occupies one, the room, and this sand table is a, the map of the Han Dynasty, together with the countries of the Western Regions, Zhang Xiu will invite the public to the sand table to deduce.
