Zhang Xi really didn't want to accept Zhang Ren, and it was actually worth the loss to do so.

Liu Bei's taking of Yizhou has already damaged his reputation, so Liu Bei's life after Liu Zhang's abdication must be treated well, Zhang Ren is willing to accompany Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei is more expected.

Some things are better than nothing.

But the current situation is that Liu Zhang offered to let Zhang Ren join the office, and Zhang Xi did not have a reason to refuse Liu Zhang.

"The righteous general is loyal and brave, and he can't surrender under the city in the past, but he only wants to accompany Ji Yugong day and night. Righteousness should not be. ”

Zhang Xi can only use Zhang Ren's loyalty and righteousness as an excuse to dissuade Liu Zhang.

As a result, Liu Zhang called Zhang Ren and asked Zhang Ren to come out of Liu Bei in the name of the lord. Although after he became an official, Zhang Ren's father-in-law was not Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang still did it.

Of course Zhang Ren doesn't want to, he has to take good care of Liu Zhang.

If you don't take care of yourself, what if Liu Bei is treacherous and sends someone to assassinate Liu Zhang?!

Liu Zhang was angry, and said in his heart that Liu Bei really wanted to assassinate me, just rely on you alone, what can you stop?!

Liu Bei's thoughts of leaving Zhang Ren by his side, how could Liu Zhang not know that he was once the master of one party.

Indeed, in the past few years, Liu Bei has needed Zhang Ren as a witness to prove that Liu Bei has not treated Liu Zhang badly.

But in a few years?! What about after Liu Bei completely controls Shudi?!

Anyway, Liu Zhang didn't think that Liu Bei would let himself go at that time and get himself some "death" or something, it was too normal.

Therefore, Zhang Ren staying by his side does not guarantee his safety.

It's better for you to be Liu Bei, I don't have my own people around me, so Liu Bei can feel at ease with me.

If Zhang Ren can still make contributions under Liu Bei's account, then the higher Zhang Ren's status, the more Liu Bei will have to throw a rat trap, worried about Zhang Ren's reaction, and the safer he Liu Zhang will be.

These words are not good to say in front of Zhang Xi, so Liu Zhang took Zhang Ren to the back hall, and the two of them muttered for a long time, and after they came out, Zhang Ren had no objection to going out.

What can Zhang Xi say?!

Could it be that he can't look down on Zhang Ren's two hits?!

Seriously, Zhang Xi really doesn't like Zhang Ren's two hits.

This Zhang Ren is not the Zhang Ren of the Romance Line.

Zhang Ren of the Romance Line, that was to press Liu Bei to the ground and rub it, and by the way, he shot Pang Tong's famous general.

But this is Zhang Ren of the historical line, and he is responsible for being pressed to the ground by Liu Bei.

But no matter what Zhang Ren's level is, the words are all here, and Zhang Xi can only agree first.

Accept it first, and then take Zhang Ren to Jiangling to meet Guan Yu, and let Guan Yu appoint Zhang Ren.

Anyway, it doesn't take long, and crossing the river from the public security is Jiangling, which is about five or six days' journey.

When he arrived in Jiangling, Sun Shangxiang took his family members from people to the newly established Nanjun Taishou Mansion to clean up the house, and Zhang Xi took Zhang Wei, Li Qiu, and Zhang Ren to see Guan Yu.

Zhang Wei and Li Qiu are the people brought by Zhang Xi, so naturally Zhang Xi is responsible for arranging positions for them, Guan Yu cannot interfere in this regard, theoretically speaking, the official positions of the two people are equal.

And Zhang Ren, Guan Yu looked at it and didn't mention how pleasing it was, so he appointed Zhang Ren as General Pi on the spot, and he was under the command of Wen Ping, the public security guard.

Guan Yu himself is just a general of Dangkou, and he can appoint Zhang Ren as General Pi as soon as he comes up, and he already attaches great importance to Zhang Ren.

The arrangement after that is also very intimate, knowing that Zhang Ren is loyal, since Liu Zhang is now living in the public security, let Zhang Ren go to Wenpin to be a general, and let Zhang Ren do his best.

Who let Zhang Ren be loyal, Guan Yu likes such people. Whether we have the ability or not can say otherwise, but loyalty is definitely the rarest quality of this era.

Guan Yu is not worried that Zhang Ren will be a general, so he will plan what Liu Zhang will do, on the one hand, there is Wen Ping watching, on the other hand, since Zhang Ren can be so loyal to Liu Zhang, he will not be bad at treating his position and the new lord.

After all, this time, Zhang Ren's lord is no longer Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei.

As for Zhang Xi. After Guan Yu met Zhang Ren, Li Qiu, and Zhang Wei, he specially left Zhang Xi to spend the night in the Guan Mansion and discuss some official business by the way.

The main thing is to draw a clear line of authority between the two people, and if there is a gap between the province in the future, it is better to say it in advance.

Of course, don't let irrelevant people participate in these things, it belongs to Guan Yu and Zhang Xi to discuss and decide with each other behind closed doors.

Therefore, Guan Yu specially invited Zhang Xi to the backyard and set up a banquet, and the two of them talked about it while drinking.

Zhang Xi has no objection to this.

But chatting and chatting, Zhang Xi found that it seemed that Guan Yu and him, the two of them had a little different understanding of rights and responsibilities.

Well, it's not a big disagreement, just a little bit of a discrepancy.

Guan Yu thought that although he was only the official position of Xiangyang Taishou, he was entrusted by Liu Bei to have the function of governor Jingzhou, and he was stationed in Jiangling, so the affairs of Nanjun with Jiangling as the center should listen to him.

As for Zhang Xi, because there was Liu Bei's handwritten letter explaining the reason, Guan Yu was also willing to give up part of his authority, so he let Zhang Xi be in charge of the government affairs of Nanjun.

For example, spring ploughing and autumn harvesting, collecting grain and collecting taxes, building water conservancy, pacifying the people, repairing the city wall, and that's probably it.

To put it simply, Guan Yu means that he is in charge of military affairs, while Zhang Xi is in charge of the government affairs of Nanjun.

Zhang Xi is not opposed to such a distribution in principle, but there is one point. He is the Taishou of Nanjun, so he must at least have nominal control over the soldiers and horses of Nanjun.

Guan Yu, as the general of the town guard of Jingzhou, can indeed mobilize the soldiers and horses of Nanjun at any time, but he must be informed in writing.

This is a matter of principle.

A county is in charge of both the military and the government, and the matter of Guan Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, although it is also a fact, must still be done in accordance with the rules.

Guan Yu wants to transfer the soldiers and horses of Wuling and Lingling counties to the north, and he has to write to Xu Shu and Pan Jun, who have the right to know.

Therefore, Zhang Xi asked Guan Yu to give him such respect.

This is just a respect, Guan Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, really wants to transfer troops, and no one can stop him.

But Guan Yu felt that this was redundant.

The others are in Jiangling, and they are not in Jingnan like Wuling and Lingling, and the effect of a back-and-forth order and an official document is the same.

Another one, on weekdays, the soldiers and horses of Nanjun are all under Guan Yu's control, and Guan Yu is also in charge of training, even if there is Zhang Xi, the Nanjun Taishou now, but the soldiers still listen to him, why bother with this hand?!

Then Zhang Xi had to explain that this was a procedural issue, and at the same time, it was also for Guan Yu's sake. The state pastor crossed the Taishou to transfer troops, what will the imperial court think?!

Although I know that the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei is very close, and I also know that Liu Bei trusts Guan Yu abnormally, but Liu Bei is in Chengdu after all, and it is not easy to go to Chengdu from Jiangling, so why give the villain a handle and an excuse? !

Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and he was no longer entangled with Zhang Xi in this regard.

And Zhang Xi also breathed a sigh of relief and asked for this military power, it was really not that Zhang Xi wanted to go against Guan Yu, mainly just in case.

On the historical line, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou was not careless, the public security and Jiangling two places, he arranged people to guard them, and the number of people was about 10,000 people, which is really not careless.

Guan Yu lost Jingzhou this time, he was really stabbed in the back, and he didn't expect Shiren, the veteran of Liu Bei's group, and Mi Fang, Liu Bei's brother-in-law, to surrender Jiangdong so simply, without giving him any time to react. Shiren can still be said to know people and faces, but Mi Fang really can't understand this.

And Lu Meng, a person who put aside his strategic vision, just said that this time he crossed the river in white clothes, he broke Guan Yu's defense measures along the river with only some camouflage, and only relied on a letter and a mouth to say that Shiren and Mi Fang were surrendered, and later he also used his own command ability to block Guan Yu in Linfang, and finally captured Guan Yu.

But Guan Yu on the romance line is really conceited like an idiot, and Lu Meng is also like a villain who succeeded by luck.

Zhang Xi wants this military power, just to prevent Guan Yu from taking the line of rebellion in case his brain is hot, in that case, Zhang Xi has military power in his hands, at least he can hold Jiangling City and buy time for Guan Yu to return to the army.

Now that Guan Yu has given in, Zhang Xi will naturally not continue to entangle on this issue, and will accept it as soon as he sees it.

After that, the two of them discussed some things while drinking, not only some government affairs strategies in Chengdu, but also some wars when Liu Bei took Yizhou, and finally talked about Ma Chao.

Guan Yu wanted to ask Zhang Xi what kind of person Ma Chao was, after all, Zhang Xi had seen Ma Chao under the city of Chengdu.

Guan Yu is really just pure curiosity, after all, the prestige of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, the second master has also heard of it, and wants to hear Zhang Xi tell what kind of person this person is.

But Zhang Xi drank a little wine, and he looked down on Ma Chao since he was in his previous life, so he began to chatter.

In Zhang Xi's opinion, Guan Yu lacks the heart to ask this question.

Who are you Guan Yu, Liu Bei's righteous brother, although he surrendered after being captured by Cao Cao, as soon as he heard the news of Liu Bei, he immediately came to defect with seals and seals.

But what about Ma Chao?!

With the name of General Fubo after Ma Yuan, he was born in a famous family, and as a result, he rebelled and killed his father, and he killed his wife and children who surrendered and surrendered.

After Guan Yu listened to Zhang Xi's comment on Ma Chao, he was very glad that it was already night, and the two of them were drinking and chatting behind closed doors, and Guan Ping was not even there at the scene. Otherwise, if Zhang Xi's evaluation spreads, then Ma Chao will not hate Zhang Xi to death.

Quickly reprimanded Zhang Xi and warned him not to talk nonsense after drinking, and then. Gently slid the topic over.

Sometimes, Guan Yu really can't take Zhang Xi.

Because Zhang Xi has always been messing with Kou Feng and Guan Ping in the early days, Guan Yu has always regarded Zhang Xi as a nephew in his heart.

Even if Zhang Xi set up an ambush in Badong County to defeat Xiahou Yuan, Guan Yu talked about it to warn and motivate Guan Ping, not to be affirmed by how much achievement his colleagues had.

It probably has something to do with the fact that the second master thinks that defeating Xiahou Yuan is not a great record

But the second master can think so, and that's because he is the second master.

If other people really think that Xiahou Yuan is not a powerful character, then it is really a brain pump. Anyway, Guan Ping wouldn't think that Xiahou Yuan was a weak chicken.

In short, the second master regards Zhang Xi as a junior, and Ma Chao, in the eyes of the second master, Ma Chao is from a famous family, and he used to be a prince, so he should be the same generation as himself. It's always bad for juniors to say this about their elders.

But Ma Chao, the elder, Zhang Xi, the junior, the second master still knows who is closer, so well, although the second master reprimanded Zhang Xi, the definition given is that he is drunk and talking nonsense, and he will really spread it in the future, his second master testified, Zhang Xi just drank too much and was nonsense, do you Ma Chao still have to deal with a junior? !

Generally speaking, Guan Yu still protected Zhang Xi, seeing that Zhang Xi had drunk a little too much, he began to be nonsense, so he quickly called Guan Ping and arranged a room for Zhang Xi to let him have a good rest.

When the wine wakes up tomorrow, he will be sent back to his house.

Then, let Zhang Xi rest for three days, and after three days, he officially took office.
