In a courtyard in Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo was discussing something with the thin scribe Li Ru, and behind him stood a big man with muscles and muscles, which was what Zhang Ji said, Dong Zhuo's new Kansai fierce general Huaxiong.

At this time, a soldier walked in and said, "My lord, Captain Zhang is visiting with his nephew. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Lead them in." ”

"No."

After the soldiers withdrew, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Congratulations to my father-in-law, I have to have another fierce general and an army of 30,000." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and did not answer.

Soon, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu came to the front of the hall, and when they saw Dong Zhuo sitting upright, Zhang Ji bowed his hand and said: "Zhang Ji has seen the lord, this is Zhang Xiu, the nephew of the last general." ”

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo smiled and waved his hand, letting Zhang Ji step aside. At this time, Zhang Xiu was left standing in front of the hall, only to see Zhang Xiu bow and salute, and said, "Zhang Xiu has seen the lord." ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo immediately laughed, and only after laughing did he say: "De Boyuan will vote, and I will win thousands of troops." ”

Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said: "The lord praises falsely." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that last year I was still an ordinary teenager, but today I am already a young hero of the Han Dynasty, and I also have 30,000 male soldiers, and the Qiang people regard Bo Yuan as a ghost and god." ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "If it weren't for the letter from the lord who recommended Boyuan to Jincheng as an official, I am afraid that Boyuan would not have achieved today." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, Bo Yuan's soldiers are under the command of Bo Yuan, I don't have to ask." And when the big tent is discussed, Bo Yuan only needs to act with me. ”

Zhang Xiu bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Bo Yuan, go back to reorganize the army, and I will bring Yuanjiang to Bo Yuan, and let Uncle and Nephew Ru work together." ”

Zhang Ji heard it over there, and also came out and said in unison with Zhang Xiu: "Thank you, lord." ”

Then Dong Zhuo ordered Huaxiong to send the two out of the door, and he frowned and asked Li Rudao: "Wen Wei (Li Ruzi), Zhang Xiu came to vote, is it reliable, I have according to what Wen Wei said yesterday, and his army is under his command." ”

Li Ru smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether Zhang Xiu is really here to vote, as long as he is used by his father-in-law." ”

Dong Zhuoqi said: "If it is not sincerely voted, how can it be used by me?" ”

Li Ru said: "Without him, only the power is strong." ”

Dong Zhuoqi said: "Potential? ”

Li Ru nodded and said: "Since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the capital of the Han Dynasty has moved to Luoyang, and the land of Guanxi has been almost abandoned except for Chang'an. And the Kanto region is prosperous, and there are many families, and they despise the people of Kansai. Since Guangwu, the dispute between the east and the west has become more and more prosperous, and Zhang Xiuwu is also a powerful person, and he is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible to vote for the people of Kanto, and he has a foothold in Kanto; The Shuzhong family has its own family, sticking to Shu, and Zhang Xiu has no way to cast it. In this way, Zhang Xiu still needs to stay in Kansai, and the most prosperous family in Kanxi today is the Dong family of his father-in-law, and the rest of the clans are all looking forward to his father-in-law. Even though Zhang Xiu has great power, he has to submit to his father-in-law at any time. With his father-in-law, he has a number of benefits, if he goes against the grain, he will only end up in pieces, such an unwise thing, Zhang Xiu will not do it. In this way, as long as the father-in-law and the Dong family are strong one day, Zhang Xiu will only be a sword in the hands of his father-in-law, cutting thorns for his father-in-law, leveling the outside world, and using it for his father-in-law. ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard Dong Zhuo's words, but he still asked: "Even so, the soldiers and horses under Zhang Xiu's command can be compared with me, but my heart is uneasy. ”

Li Ru smiled: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Zhang Xiu's department needs to be called 30,000, but they are not elite, my father-in-law has seen it in the past when he was in Guangzong, and he must have a plan in his heart, in my opinion, my father-in-law only needs 8,000 Xiliang cavalry, he can break the army of Zhang Xiu, so although Zhang Xiu's troops are numerous, they are not enough to worry about." ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he smiled again and again: "Okay, when Yuanjiang goes to vote, do you need to place people in it?" ”

Li Ru shook his head and said, "No." His army all rely on Zhang Xiu's bravery, even if his father-in-law inserts people, he can't win the heart of the army, so the gains outweigh the losses, and the father-in-law only needs to master Zhang Xiu, that is, he has his army. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "In this way, tomorrow you can order Yuanjiang to lead the guards to Zhang Xiu's camp." ”

Li Ru smiled: "The lord is wise. ”

……

Zhang Xiu naturally didn't know what Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were talking about, at this time he had already talked with Hua Xiong, only to hear Zhang Xiu say: "Listen to my uncle's words, General Hua's martial arts are strong, and my real skills are itchy, why don't you find a day to have a discussion, what does General Hua think?" ”

Hua Xiong didn't hear the provocation from Zhang Xiu's tone, and some just had an excited look, so he knew that Zhang Xiu was just a martial arts idiot, and he didn't think it was Xu, and said with a smile: "I will definitely have a discussion with General Zhang in the future." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "General Hua should not be polite, just call me Boyuan." ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile: "Hua was born in poverty and has no words, if Boyuan does not give up, he can call Brother Hua." ”

At this time, Hua Xiong had sent Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew to the door, and Zhang Xiu arched his hand and said, "Okay, the little brother is waiting for Brother Hua at any time." ”

Hua Xiong smiled and arched his hand to the two, and the two returned the salute and took the horses brought by the soldiers, and then got on the horse and left. At the corner of the street, Zhang Ji said to Zhang Xiu: "Boyuan, Master Dong has brought 3,000 soldiers to come back to the camp for Uncle and go back to the camp to pack up, and he will go to the Boyuan camp tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Uncle go slowly, and I will also go back to the camp to do some work." ”

Zhang Ji nodded and said, "Okay, don't miss the time to go home at night." After speaking, he looked north of the city.

Zhang Xiu responded: "I know." After that, he walked south of the city.

Feng Lu rushed all the way, and soon came to the camp outside the south of the city, but from a distance, he saw that his camp and Sun Jian's camp were very lively, and the soldiers on both sides were lined up in front of the camp, and they were constantly shouting.

Zhang Xiu's eyesight is very good, far away to see two horses in the field fighting, Zhang Xiu to get close, but to see the two people fighting is Hu Zhen and Cheng Pu, a little look, but it is to see Cheng Pu recruit to attack, pressing Hu Zhen to fight, but since Zhang Xiu taught the marksmanship experience to Hu Zhen, his martial arts are also great, at this time a spear flies up and down, like a rock in the water, let Cheng Pu's offensive like a tide, I stand still.

Zhang Xiu saw it, but he knew that Hu Zhen had already been a little hot in defense after teaching him his marksmanship experience, especially after Tai Chi experience, Zhang Xiu remembered that Hu Zhen was originally stabbed on a horse by Cheng Pu with a spear, and the difference in martial arts was very different, but at this time it seemed that although Cheng Pu could defeat Hu Zhen, it would take a lot of effort.

Hu Zhen's martial arts have advanced greatly, Zhang Xiu was naturally happy, pulled over a soldier who kept shouting and asked, "You say, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that it was Zhang Xiu, the soldier hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Hui, but Lord Hu saw the generals under the command of Lord Sun practicing this morning, and then he stepped forward to discuss with the generals under the command of Lord Sun, but we all came out of the camp to watch." ”

Zhang Xiu was angry and funny when he heard it, but he was angry that the discipline of his subordinates was not strict, but what was funny was that he didn't expect Hu Zhen to be a martial arts idiot.
