Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fighting the Xiliang Rebels Again End

Sun Jian saw that it was Zhang Xiu who was blocking him, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "What does Bo Yuan mean, why do you stop my army." ”

Zhang Xiu could also hear the dissatisfaction in Sun Jian's tone, so he said: "Brother Wentai hasn't heard of poor Kou Mo chasing? ”

Sun Jian said angrily: "Today, we will break the enemy army, and we should pursue it to achieve all our success." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Brother Wentai, don't forget that in Beidi County that day, we died nine times because of the blind pursuit of the army. ”

As soon as these words came out, he hesitated and poured a basin of cold water on Sun Jian's head, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang behind him were not reckless men who did not understand literature and ink, and naturally knew that what Zhang Xiu said was reasonable, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord, what Lord Zhang said is reasonable." ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian retorted: "Today's situation is not as good as in the past, the Xiliang army has been defeated, as long as you chase it, you will have a great success." ”

Zhang Xiu heard that Sun Jian's tone was a little loose, and he knew that he no longer insisted on pursuing, so he persuaded: "Brother Wentai, in the past, Meiyang broke the enemy army, and the enemy army was not defeated. However, Beigong Boyu was able to quickly escape back to Xiliang to reorganize the army, causing our army to fall into a heavy siege, which must be learned. Beigong Boyu has no plan, the strategy of the day is really Han Sui's out, today Han Sui and the three have fled, it is difficult to guarantee that the scene of the day will not be repeated, Brother Wentai is better not to chase. ”

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang next to Sun Jian also persuaded him, and Sun Jian sighed heavily and said, "Since that's the case, okay, let's go back to the camp." ”

……

Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian returned to the camp together, but the two of them came back last, Dong Zhuo saw it and asked, "Wentai and Boyuan have chased ten miles?" It's just that Dong Zhuo's eyes only looked at Sun Jian, and he knew that Dong Zhuo wanted to punish Sun Jian alone.

Sun Jian didn't answer, but Zhang Xiu on the side said: "Lord, Xiu and Brother Wentai chased ten miles, and saw that the rebels left countless good horses, so they collected them before returning to the army, but they were a little bit wrong, please don't blame the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo heard it and asked, "How much do you get a good horse?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "There should be more than 10,000 horses." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled after hearing this, and said, "Bo Yuan and Wentai have made great contributions again. Wentai, what Bo Yuan said is true? ”

Sun Jian first looked at Zhang Xiu, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he said, "That's true." ”

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he immediately said: "The lord doesn't believe in embroidery, 10,000 good horses are about to arrive, please ask the lord to let people count." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "No need, since the good horse is collected by Bo Yuan and Wentai, the two of you can deal with yourself." ”

The two of them heard it, and said at the same time: "Thank you Lord Gong (Lord Dong)." ”

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "You go back to the camp, count the results of the battle and report it, and set up a banquet in my big tent in the evening, don't miss the hour." ”

After listening to this, the two replied: "Embroidery (Jian) knows." ”

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he laughed and left.

In fact, these more than 10,000 good horses were collected by Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er along the road, and they could be used as excuses, and Dong Zhuo generously did not accept them, which can be regarded as a happy event.

After returning to his camp, Zhang Ji's finished counting of the results had been delivered, Zhang Xiu directly asked Hu Che'er to send it to Dong Zhuo, and he rested in the tent, after all, Zhang Xiu was also tired after a day of war.

slept until nearly evening, Zhang Xiu woke up, and saw that it was not early, so he led Hu Che'er and hurried to Dong Zhuo's tent. As soon as he entered the account, he saw that the generals had already taken their seats, but he was the latest one. Dong Zhuo, who was on the main seat, made a straight face and asked, "Why is Bo Yuan late?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Xiu was tired from the morning battle and overslept. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he smiled and said: "Zhiran ran around for two days in a row without getting tired, but Bo Yuan overslept, but he should be punished." ”

When Zhang Xiu saw Dong Zhuo smiling, he knew that he had deliberately put on a straight face just now, so he replied: "The last general will admit punishment." ”

Dong Zhuo asked with interest: "Bo Yuan said, how should he be punished?" ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "The last general should punish himself with three wines." ”

After listening to this, Dong Zhuo said: "It is rumored that Zhang Boyuan is a leader in wine, and there is no one to beat at the wine table, how to punish three lamps, first punish three altars, and see if you Zhang Boyuan is drunk tonight." ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Hua Xiong on the side stood up suddenly, took a jar of wine and threw it to Zhang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Today, you Zhang Boyuan will be drunk here." ”

Sun Jian is also Zhang Xiu's defeated wine, so naturally he no longer hesitates, and he also learns from Huaxiong to throw a wine jar to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was not ambiguous, patted open the sealing mud, and poured all the two jars of wine into his stomach in public. Dong Zhuo, who was on the main seat, saw Zhang Xiu finish drinking, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, sure enough, I am a heroic man in Kansai." After speaking, he picked up a jar of wine placed next to him, threw it to Zhang Xiu and said, "There is another jar." ”

After Zhang Xiu took it, he said with a smile: "Thank you for the wine." After speaking, he patted the mud and drank it all again.

After drinking the three major jars of wine, Zhang Xiu sat down. Dong Zhuo rewarded the meritorious people one by one on the main throne, and the merit was naturally Li Dao, who led the Flying Bear Army to attack from behind to win the war. The second merit is Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian, the two of them as the vanguard of the enemy's spirit, and then with the army to fight, after the defeat of the enemy army and received 10,000 good horses, the rest of the generals are not comparable, and then Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Guo Yan and others, each has a reward, will not be described in detail.

The rewards of Li Dao, Zhang Xiu, and Sun Jian were not decided until Dong Zhuo reported to the imperial court, but then Dong Zhuo asked the generals to return to Chang'an and recruit soldiers to replenish the troops lost in the war.

After discussing the reward and the trivial matters behind, Dong Zhuo ordered the camp to return to Chang'an at noon tomorrow, and then the banquet would be held. That night, all the generals were happy, Zhang Xiu waved his skills again, although Dong Zhuo poured him three jars at the beginning, but it did not affect Zhang Xiu's strength, and most of the people in the tent were put down before borrowing urine and escaped, and the first to fall down were naturally Huaxiong and Sun Jian who had just handed him wine. Xu Rong, who had a very good relationship with Zhang Xiu, could not escape, and Dong Zhuo, who was on the throne, saw that Zhang Xiu was brave and fearful of damaging his lord's prestige, so he instructed the generals to besiege Zhang Xiu, and he quietly left with Li Ru. Zhang Xiu let go of the three people in a row before escaping with urine, but after Zhang Xiu left, the unlucky one was Li Dao, who had won the battle, and was put down in the tent by all the generals.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the Han army pulled out the camp and returned to Chang'an. And Dong Zhuo's news of breaking the Xiliang rebels into Kou Sanfu soon spread to Luoyang, Emperor Ling was overjoyed, and rewarded Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, Zhang Xiu, and Sun Jian. (Before Dong Zhuo was in trouble, it was still quite difficult to become a general.) Like Zhang Xiu, Li Dao also went to the school captain and was named a partial general, although he and Zhang Xiu generally belong to miscellaneous generals, but it is not easy. As for Sun Jian, he was recommended by Zhang Wen and named Changsha Taishou.
