Chapter 31: First Encounter with Jia Xu

The Eastern Han Dynasty Garden Mausoleum is located in Meiyang, Yongzhou (now the north of Wugong County), where Dong Zhuo's army is stationed.

Zhang Xiu led 5,000 elite cavalry to walk with Dong Zhuo, and when he arrived in Meiyang, he saw Dong Zhuo's camp from a distance. And although the neighing of war horses was heard from time to time in the camp, more often was the sound of the army practicing in the camp.

Zhang Xiu saw it and praised: "The lord is really powerful, this battalion is in danger, quite in line with the art of war, the battalion sergeant is brave, no wonder the lord can count the rebellion." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Bo Yuan is the wrong person. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said curiously: "Could it be that there are still capable people under the command of the lord?" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said with a smile: "Arrange this camp, and the one who trains the soldiers is Xu Rong, the right-hand man under my command, will introduce you to you after entering the camp." ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and praised: "The lord's command is really full of talents, just looking at the cloth camp and training the soldiers, you can know that Xu Rong is really a famous general in the world." ”

Dong Zhuo laughed.

……

Soon Zhang Xiu followed Dong Zhuo into the camp, Dong Zhuo asked his general Fan Chou to take Zhang Xiu's army to station, Zhang Xiu explained to Hu Che'er and then followed Dong Zhuo into the main account. Dong Zhuo returned to the camp, and the disappearance of the military meeting was soon reported, and the generals of various departments rushed to arrive, and they were a little surprised to see Zhang Xiu standing in the front row, but Li Dao, who had seen Zhang Xiu, introduced Zhang Xiu to other generals in a low voice. When they heard that the young man in front of him was Zhang Xiu, who broke through the encirclement with two children alone, fought with the Qiang people, and commanded an army of 30,000 under his command, they all showed a clear look, it seems that Dong Zhuo wants to recruit Zhang Xiu The news that most of the henchmen and generals already knew before Dong Zhuo went to Chang'an to participate in the military conference.

After the last Fan Chou and Hu Che'er arrived, Dong Zhuo officially promoted the account.

The first thing I did after the account was to introduce each other, only to hear Dong Zhuo pointing at Zhang Xiu and saying: "This is Yuanjiang's nephew, I am a new hero in Xiliang, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Boyuan, a young hero who moves the world." ”

Zhang Xiu came out of the ranks, first saluted Dong Zhuo, and then turned to salute the people in the tent and said: "Uncles, please bring more little nephews in the future, the little nephews are still young, if there are deficiencies, please give your uncles advice, if you offend, please bear with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, many generals under Dong Zhuo's command stroked their beards and smiled, and secretly said in their hearts at the same time: "This young man knows how to be polite. ”

Dong Zhuo's generals were happy, and Dong Zhuo also smiled, but Li Ru, who was standing next to Dong Zhuo, frowned imperceptibly, but quickly returned to smiling.

I only heard Dong Zhuo laugh and said, "Yuanjiang has a good nephew, so he knows how to be polite. Come, Bo Yuan, and I will introduce you to one or two. ”

Zhang Xiu turned his senses and bowed to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo smiled and pointed to Li Ru beside him, and said: "This general loves his son-in-law, and he is also the military division of our army. ”

Zhang Xiu saluted Li Ru and said, "I've seen the military advisor." Li Ru smiled and nodded.

Then he pointed to the first man dressed as a military general on his right and said: "This Boyuan also saw it last year, and he is also the general's beloved son-in-law, Niu Fu." ”

Zhang Xiu bowed and said, "I've seen General Niu." ”

Niu Fu nodded and said, "Boy, serve the lord well." ”

Dong Zhuo pointed to the first general on the left and said, "This is what the general just said to Bo Yuan about Xu Rong." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "General Xu is talented, embroidery admires." ”

Xu Rong returned the salute and said, "Bo Yuan is also a young hero, so there is no need to be polite." ”

……

"This Bo Yuan has also seen Li Dao, the commander of the Flying Bear Army under the command of this general."

"This Bo Yuan saw in Chang'an a few days ago, Hua Xiong, the first fierce general among the generals, but Bo Yuan came, but the two of you have to fight to know."

"This ......"

After that, Dong Zhuo introduced Fan Chou, Guo Yan, Li Meng, Wang Fang, and Duan Xuan to all the generals of all sizes, and Zhang Xiu was full of courtesy, and Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu, a poisonous soldier who was still a small official, from the crowd introduced by Dong Zhuo.

Jia Xu is about forty years old, with a thin figure, as tall as the Liangzhou people, but not as rough as the Liangzhou people, but an ordinary scribe dress, and his face is also very ordinary. In addition to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's salute, Jia Xu returned the salute, Zhang Xiu saw him closing his eyes every time he peeked at Jia Xu, and he had a sense of distance from everyone around him.

As a traverser, Zhang Xiu naturally knew how powerful Jia Xu was, but now the time was not right, so he had to remain quiet. But Zhang Xiu didn't know, he kept peeking at Jia Xu's eyes, but it was in Li Ru's eyes, he and Jia Xu were friends, Jia Xu's ability Li Ru was naturally clear, Li Ru persuaded Jia Xu to go out every time, but every time Jia Xu refused, and Li Ru also let it go after a long time.

However, Zhang Xiu's appearance and his frequent attention to Jia Xu made Li Ru a little suspicious, and persuaded Dong Zhuo to take Zhang Xiu into his account. However, soon Li Ru overturned this idea in his heart, the Han family will fall, and Xiliang will have the greatest influence with Dong Zhuo, and he only needs to help himself to achieve a hegemony. And if Dong Zhuo can achieve hegemony in the future, he will definitely control the heroes of the world, and Zhang Xiu is just one of them. If you can't even deal with Zhang Xiu alone, how can you talk about hegemony. Thinking of this, Li Ru felt that he only needed to pay more attention to Zhang Xiu in the future and grasp him firmly.

After Dong Zhuo introduced the generals under his command, he asked Zhang Xiu to stand behind Xu Rong and in front of Huaxiong. Standing behind Xu Rong means that Zhang Xiu ranks second among the ministers under Dong Zhuo, and among the many generals, he is also in the top five, and he has such a prominent position when he first enters Dong Zhuo's command, and the eyes of the generals can't help but flash a look of jealousy, especially Hua Xiong behind Zhang Xiu, who swept away Zhang Xiu's good impression when he was in Chang'an, but this scene was seen by many generals.

At this time, Dong Zhuo briefly introduced Hu Che'er, the subordinate general of Zhang Xiu, to the generals, and then asked Hu Che'er to stand behind Hua Xiong, as soon as the two entered Dong Zhuo's command, they had such a high position, which had a great impact on the generals. But Zhang Xiu didn't know that the position he was standing in now was higher than that of his uncle Zhang Ji, which showed that Dong Zhuo valued him.

After some introduction, Dong Zhuocai was on the agenda, and he only heard him ask first: "Xu Rong, what is the change in the Qiang people who will not be in the past few days?" ”

Xu Rong replied: "Back to the lord, Tan Ma reported to Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others to lead their troops towards Meiyang, and the last general speculated that the Qiang people would arrive in three days, or even earlier." ”
