Deng Ai's matter, after Zhang Xi figured it out, it was not involved.

After all, there is a default in this about the silver screen, and Deng Ai is not unjustly pregnant, not to mention Deng Ai's cow break, and let Hua Fei be recruited at one time.

There will be a follow-up afterwards, and in the final analysis, Deng Ai himself has a problem.

Anyway, when the young couple went to see the second master, Zhang Xi didn't plan to follow, and the second master of the province was not good at spreading fire to the juniors and pouring all the anger on his head.

But what Zhang Xi didn't expect was that the second master came to the door in person.

When he came to the door, he scolded Zhang Xi angrily, scolding Zhang Xi's disciples for having no way to teach such a shameless thing.

Zhang Xi really wanted to slander him. It's true that there is only one lady in your old man's family, but Guan Ping's kid is not, that kid has two concubines alone, and I haven't seen General Zilong go to your house with Hao Gentian to make trouble.

What's the matter, this matter can be done, but my Deng Ai can't do it?!

It's a pity that Zhang Xi didn't have the courage to say it.

After all, it is the second master, and after the second master is nearly sixty years old, his power is getting heavier and heavier, and he is almost the same as the one sitting in the temple in the later generations.

Who dares to speak loudly in front of the second master.

Moreover, when the second master came to find Zhang Xi, he didn't just come to scold Zhang Xi.

The second master is here to borrow someone.

"This time I went north to Nanyang, and the old man wanted to take Ping'er as the vanguard, so Xiangfan could not be left unguarded." The second master said to Zhang Xi, "I want to keep Ma Jichang, Fei Wenwei stays in Xiangyang, with these two people, Xiangyang should be fine." It's just that Fancheng still lacks a general to garrison, so I have come to call Zhang Boqi to guard Fancheng. ”

The second master came to ask Zhang Xi about someone.

After all, Zhang Wei is the person who Zhang Xi single-handedly pulled up, although they are all subordinates of the King of Hanzhong, theoretically the second master can call Zhang Wei, but he must say hello to Zhang Xi first.

The rules of these years are like this, in the context of the dual monarchy, if Zhang Xi does not agree, Zhang Wei also has the right to refuse Guan Yu.

As for why the second master wanted Zhang Wei Obviously, Zhang Wei's performance in the battle of Xiangfan has been recognized by the second master, plus the time when Zhang Xi went to Hanzhong, Zhang Wei did a good job as the general of Fancheng, and this time he went back to save the time to be familiar with the work, and he was the most suitable candidate to guard Fancheng.

Zhang Xi hesitated slightly.

In this Northern Expedition, Zhang Xi also had to employ people.

The Northern Expedition planned by Liu Bei would take Yizhou as the main offensive launch point, and the troops mobilized would not be too small.

On the Hanzhong side, Wei Yan's men themselves had a garrison of 20,000 troops, and this time Zhang Xi and others were stationed in Hanzhong as the advanced front army, and the number of people they brought with them was also 30,000, so that the total was already more than 50,000.

And Liu Bei will also set off with the rear army, this number should not be lower than the conservative estimate of 30,000 in the front, and the troops used by Liu Bei in this Northern Expedition will be between 80,000 and 100,000.

It is already more than the number of troops in the Battle of Hanzhong, and it can be said that it is the Northern Expedition of the whole country.

With so many soldiers, it must be very troublesome to command, and the assistance of generals is definitely needed when leading troops into battle.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Yi are the two people that Zhang Xi uses most conveniently now, if Zhang Wei is seconded to Guan Yu, Zhang Xi is afraid that he will not be able to be busy by then.

But. Thinking about it carefully, Guan Yu is really not easy.

Jingzhou is not without good generals, Wen Ping, Zhang Ren, Wang Ji, Shi Bao, Zhou Tai, and Liao Hua are actually not bad.

But after experiencing Jiangdong's backstabbing, in the face of such a large force, these people could not be mobilized except for Liaohua, and they had to stay in the Yangtze River valley to guard against Soochow.

To tell the truth, there are really not many soldiers that Guan Yu can call, only Xu Shu can be a counselor in military affairs, and there are only two generals, Liao Hua and Guan Ping, even if Guan Xing is counted, there are only three people, and there is no comparison with the all-star lineup in Yizhou.

So. Forget it, I still have an apprentice to send, so I will seconded Zhang Wei over.

At least Zhang Wei guards Fancheng, and Zhang Xi can be more assured.

"By the way, this time Yinping and Ai'er both returned to Jingzhou with the old man, and the woman also went with them, and you wrote a letter to the woman's parents to inform them." Guan Yu said again.

Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment. No, let's not talk about the flower mane, you plan to take Deng Ai away too?!

Then who will I call for this Northern Expedition?!

But Guan Yu also has a valid reason.

"This time I went north to attack Nanyang, I will inevitably send troops to Xinye Ai'er and Yinping, shouldn't I go to the clan ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Deng family?!"

Belch. If you want to say that, it seems that Deng Ai really has to go back.

Forget it if you didn't have a chance before, this time you want to go north to attack Nanyang, Xinye must be an advance base, if you don't let Deng Ai go back, it seems that it really can't be said.

But. I don't have anyone left!!

This problem, the second master will not think about it for Zhang Xi.

"There are so many leading generals in Yizhou, there are three brothers, Zilong, Wen Chang and others, you may not lead an army alone. Besides, with your ability, it is more than enough to command 10,000 troops, so why do you need others to help?! ”

Anyway, after the second master dropped such a sentence, he left directly, and he didn't even stay for dinner.

The second master is also busy, in a few days, he should return to Xiangyang to sit in the town, preparing to attack Nanyang, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't seen the eldest brother and the third brother for a long time, he wouldn't have stayed at this time.

Zhang Xi also accepted his fate, and first wrote a letter to Meng Shu, telling him about the whereabouts of his daughter.

That's a good thing.

What is Meng Huo's idea, in fact, Zhang Xi has a good idea, and now he can be regarded as letting this old boy get his wish, if the second master really doesn't like Hua Mane, he will not let Hua Hu go back to Jingzhou with him.

You must know that Deng Ai's return to Jingzhou this time is not only to help Guan Yu attack Nanyang in the north, but also to return to Xinye to worship his ancestors. The second master opened his mouth and agreed to go with Hua Yan, what does it mean, do you need to say it?!

He Meng made a lot of money, not only directly caught Zhang Xi, the backer, but also indirectly fell in love with the second master, if you are not at ease, then don't mix in Nanzhong, come to Chengdu to be the royal historian yourself.

But this matter really shouldn't be told to Meng Shu by someone from the position of the second master, but only by Zhang Xi, Deng Ai's master.

After writing a letter to Meng Shu, Zhang Xi called Zhang Wei and his disciples again, and explained that the two returned to Jingzhou with Guan Junhou, one to guard Xiangyang, and the other to follow Guan Junhou to counsel the military aircraft.

Neither of them objected.

Deng Ai had a reason to go back, he had to go home to worship his ancestors.

As for Zhang Wei, although he also wants to follow Zhang Xi on the Northern Expedition, but look at who are the generals of Liu Bei's group this time? !

ZHANG Fei,ZHAO Yun,MA Chao,ZHANG Xi,HUANG Quan,WU Yi,CHEN Dao,WEI Yan. Except for Huang Zhong, the right general who died of illness at the beginning of the year, all the famous generals under Liu Bei's account were dispatched.

It is too difficult for Zhang Wei to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in battle under the aura of these famous generals.

It is better to go to Jingzhou with Guan Junhou, guarding Fancheng itself is a very important thing, not only to guard the back road of the army, but also to have the responsibility of the governor's grain and grass logistics, and it is a ready-made merit to do a good job.

Therefore, after the two were ordered, they also went home to pack their things and prepare to return to Jingzhou.

And at this time, Zhang Xi finally began to think about whether he still had any useful generals on hand.

Ma Zhong is in the county of Qiqi, Ma Tan is in the state of Yue, Li Hui is already the governor of the capital, these three people can't be called at all, and the other generals that Zhang Xi is familiar with seem to be in important positions one by one, and they can't be called.

By the way, Wang Ping is now the leader of the Wudang Flying Army, and is organizing the training of the Wudang Flying Army, using the training method summarized by Zhuge Liang in combination with the mountain warfare strategy that Zhang Xi taught Kou Feng at the beginning.

And even if Wang Ping completes the training of the Wudang Flying Army, this army is the same as the Bai Yu Army, which is directly under Liu Bei's Chinese army, and Wang Ping can be regarded as officially entering Liu Bei's talent entrainment, and Zhang Xi can't call it now.

So Zhang Xi pondered and pondered, maybe he could only take Zhang Yi with the Northern Expedition.

But think about what the second master said is right, the lineup of this Northern Expedition is too luxurious, and there are a lot of veteran generals, where is the need for Zhang Xi to lead the army alone.

This time, Zhang Xi is most likely like Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others, and it is enough to provide staff advice to Liu Bei with the army.

In that case, it should be enough.

And just when Zhang Xi felt that it was almost like that. Deng Ai suddenly came to visit and said that there were talented people who recommended it to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi was called a puzzle. This bastard boy is in Yizhou, what acquaintance can he know? !

And it turned out to be true.

When Deng Ai and "Guan Suo" commanded the pioneer battalion of the Nanzhongping rebel army, there was a lieutenant in the battalion, and Deng Ai felt that his ability was quite good.

Later, Deng Ai and his wife returned to Chengdu all the way, and it was also this captain who escorted them all the way back.

Now Deng Ai is going back to Jingzhou and can't follow his master to fight, and at the same time, he knows that his master is short of people, so he recommended this captain to Zhang Xi.

This person's surname is sentence, the name is Fu, the word Xiaoxing, and he was born in a wealthy family in Brazil County.

As soon as Zhang Xi heard this name, he felt familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, wasn't this the famous general of the late Shu Han Dynasty who was as famous as Wang Ping later?!

Why is there such a good thing?!

At this time, Jufu was indeed young, but he was in his twenties, about the same age as Zhang Yi.

Jufu was originally from a local wealthy family in Hanchang County, Brazil County, and joined the Southern Expedition before because he wanted to make contributions in the Southern Expedition.

It's a pity that Zhang Xi's southern expedition, except for one serious fight in Yueshan County, the rest of the time is basically all the way flat.

Even the forward battalion where Jufu was located was temporarily relieved of its duties and stationed on the spot because of the fact that the flower mane threw himself into the net.

Although Jufu's ability was appreciated by Deng Ai and Guan Yinping, there was no military merit to make, so he naturally had no way to be promoted, and he was just a captain.

Later, Deng Ai and his wife wanted to go back to Chengdu, and Jufu pondered that the southern expedition was over, and there was no chance of meritorious service in the south, so it was better to take the opportunity to escort Deng Ai and his wife back to Chengdu to try their luck in Chengdu.

After all, he is also a person from a wealthy family in Brazil County, and he also has some connections in Chengdu.

But Jufu's luck doesn't seem to be very good, he has been stumbling in Chengdu for almost a year, and he hasn't found any way, and even the formation of the Northern Expedition army this time, Jufu only got a duty to stay in Chengdu to garrison.

Jufu doesn't want to stay in Chengdu, where is it easy to get merit in the Northern Expedition if you stay in Chengdu.

At this time, Deng Ai came to find Jufu, saying that his master was short of people, and asked Jufu if he was willing to follow his master to the Northern Expedition? !

Sentence Fu heard that there is such a good thing?!

Immediately agreed.

Then Deng Ai recommended Jufu to Zhang Xi.
