None of the people present spoke, only the sound of gentle breathing.

After a long time, Xi Zhi, who had been silent, finally spoke, and said: "Below, I know the temper and thoughts of the lord, well......"

Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai was silent again, and then the scene continued to fall into silence.

Yang Biao knew that there were some words, and Xi Zhicai would never say them, and the implication was very obvious at this point.

At this moment, Yang Biao's upper body drooped down a little, as if it had collapsed.

The meaning of Xi Zhong's words is actually to say that there is no way to guarantee that although Cao Cao's temperament is arrogant, he is not a real benevolent and righteous gentleman, Yang Biao once had objections, and he signed his name with a covenant.

Then it is difficult not to be guarded, and even its children and grandchildren will be on guard, and the reason is very simple, the Yang family is extremely famous, and it will still have the status of the world's leader in the future.

"Then ......" Yang Biao wanted to ask again, but he didn't know what else to ask, "Hmm......"

So it can't be.

He wanted to ask this, but the people present didn't have much affection for him, and it didn't mean anything to say.

In addition, Zhong Xuan and Xi Zhicai, both of them already have a solid position, of course they will not be the same as him.

"Tai Lieutenant, he has meritorious service in keeping promises, and he is willing to retire as a meritorious soldier to relieve himself of heavy responsibilities, in fact, it is already moving, even if it is the deeds recorded by the school affairs, it is enough to show that the Tai Lieutenant's wisdom, ability, and talent are rare in the world."

"So, in the next thought, you can try to find it, Shaoqing......"

Zhong Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem, senior prince, Shaoqing belongs to my Dali Temple, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xi Zhicai had a temperament, and glanced at him quite arrogantly, "Your person? Bo Chang is recommended by me! ”

"Is he the Shaoqing of my Dali Temple now!? Don't listen to me? ”

"I have a recommendation for him, you haven't even been to his hearth once, what's the matter? Dissatisfied with my referral to the Captain? ”

"Fu Jun just said it first, I think so too, Taiwei can go, see Bo Chang, maybe you can gain something......"

"Pick up people's teeth." Xi Zhicai sneered, Zhong Xianman didn't care, just "sighed", "I'm still teaching Bochang calligraphy, can you teach it?" ”

"Don't quarrel with the two of you......" Yang Biao sweated when he heard it, it was really ...... It's really hard to win a little bit of Confucian sage's bearing.

ZHANG Han...... Similar to my son's age, will it be a little ...... if I go to him personally

What if Dezu was asked to ask for it himself? Yang Biao thought about it for a long time, but he still decided to go by himself.

Young heroes, they must be arrogant in their hearts, and they must be given enough respect to make them happy.

"Okay, the old man understands, when Shaoqing comes back, he will go and ask for a meeting."

"I don't know if it can be done," Xi Zhicai hurriedly became serious, "But if you can protect your Yang family, there are only two people, one is Bo Chang, and the other is the eldest prince." ”

"I see."

Yang Biao nodded secretly and kept all these words in his heart.

……

In December, the winter snow has not yet fallen.

The weather was getting colder, and Cao Cao submitted his itinerary to the imperial court.

Along the way, in Yangzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, officials were summoned to participate in the meeting, and orders were ordered to requisition grain and grass, transported to Huainan and Lujiang, and a large number of troops were arranged to be stationed in Hefei.

However, Zhang Han did not travel with Cao Cao's army.

I don't know what secret report he received, and left the army to go to Lujiang and Wancheng.

After Zhang Han arrived in Wancheng, he stayed for a few days, made friends with local celebrities, gave a lot of money, set up three ferries, recruited troops and horses, and left a few old generals to guard the town.

This place, in the battle of Yangzhou, is not too important, but it is actually a key transportation place for amphibious.

After arriving at the local area to inspect the terrain, Zhang Han had already memorized the situation here, and carved a map, and densely marked many important points, and repeatedly deduced it with Jia Xu.

In the end, both of them came to the conclusion that if a light army crossed the river and raided from Anhui City during the attack on Shucheng, it could burn all his grain and grass.

Fortunately, at that time, Zhang Han had forced all the enemy's forces back to Shucheng to garrison, and only Sun Ce was left who could have this opportunity.

However, Sun Ce gave up this opportunity and chose to return to Jiangdong to continue to expand his territory, stabilize his strength, and divide it to digest the remnants of the old department from Yuan Shu.

For them, it is better to make more profits than to continue to devise strange battles.

In order to gamble on a possibility, he couldn't give up a good opportunity to stabilize his strength, but continued to fight with Zhang Han.

Now, controlling Wancheng, building it into a strong city, and setting up a ferry to control the transportation to and from Cao is of even greater significance to Zhang Han.

It is also a place where the north and the south are connected, and the east and west are connected, and it is also quite convenient to develop business routes in the future.

It was only at this moment that Jia Xu understood how vicious Zhang Han's vision was.

When I never came to Anhui City, I saw the importance of this city.

And in order to solve the doubts in his heart, he came to verify in person, visited local celebrities and heroes several times, and set up government decrees and calculated taxes according to the customs and customs day and night.

Such a hands-on, and bold design before, is rare in the world.

Jia Xu really saw in him the style of a peerless minister.

Then Zhang Han accepted the pair of sisters whose reputation was spread in ten miles and eight towns of the local bridge family, and quickly evacuated happily.

took the concubine back to Xudu together, and as if the bandits had succeeded, they kept telling Jia Xu about their plans along the way, and it was clear that they were here for these two women.

made Jia Xu angry and screamed.

"I was still praising it at the time, when I heard the name of Xiao Qiao, the prince's face did not change, and he was not moved in the slightest, but he exchanged a few words with Liu Xun, and he had his own elegant bearing."

"Who knows, he has long been thinking about it, and for this, he went around a lot to find so many reasons, and it is Huizheng and garrison, and he also advocates turning Anhui City into the capital of this strategic place."

"For a color word! He's worked so hard!! This is not a rarity in the world! ”

He deserves this blessing!!

In the future, whoever says that the prince is greedy for money and lustful, I Jia Xu will be the first to deny it! He deserves it!!

A strategist does not use his strategic skills on the battlefield, but uses them in these things!

It's wonderful!!

……

Back in Runan, Zhang Han had just settled in the city, preparing to find a war horse in the local area and buy it to give to Dian Wei as a gift.

But as soon as he stayed, there was a sentinel who came to give an order, and directly broke into the place where Zhang Han and Dian Wei were, and the person who came was Xia Houen, who came with Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword.

Yitian Sword, as the name suggests, is to rely on the authority of the Son of Heaven and act on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and its name is Yitian.

Zhang Han's guards just followed him in and did not stop him, because when he came here with his sword, it meant that there was a major change.

Xia Houen entered the main hall, then raised the Heavenly Sword and shouted: "Where is Zhang Bochang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!! Come and listen! ”

was kicked out of the door by Dian Wei.

He got up very quickly, walked to the door in small steps, bowed down and said, "Dare to ask, is the prince here?" The Lord ordered me to gallop through the starry night to invite me. ”

"Well, I'm here," Zhang Han nodded, sipping his wine, and waved his hand to let the guards on both sides go out, Dian Wei standing beside him, glaring angrily.

Xia Houen didn't dare to make eye contact with him, and there was a strong fear in his heart.

He was still trained under Zhang Han, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun before, and he performed well and was selected to guard the clan generals of the Cao family.

And he, because of his well-connected, hard-related relationships, and superb swordsmanship, was favored by Cao Cao in the first battle of Yangzhou and became a sword-wielding general.

Among the many commanders of the guards, he is also a person with outstanding martial arts, but it is still not worth mentioning compared to Dian Wei.

A matter of one kick.

Not to mention Zhang Han.

"Come on, come on," Zhang Han beckoned him in, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Xiahou En glanced at Dian Wei in fear, but quickly stepped in, bowed in front of Zhang Han, and said lightly: "Yu Junhou, the lord was ambushed in Yingyin, and there were many assassins who came to attack, hundreds of people, and they have been repelled by Xu Zhongkang. ”

"Xu Zhongkang?" Zhang Hanhu looked at him suspiciously and said, "What were you doing at that time?" ”

Why is it that you are a sword-wielding general, and you can proudly say that someone else has repelled an assassin.

Xia Houen's face turned pale: "Hold the sword, overseer." ”

Dian Wei and Zhang Han glanced at each other.

It's a little helpless.

Don't go out in the future and say that we trained you, "You, you will ...... in the future" If you meet someone surnamed Zhao, remember to hide. ”

Xiahouen: "??? ”

"Why?"

Zhang Han didn't want to pay attention to him, and after a summary with Dian Wei, it was estimated that some people in Xu Du were in a hurry and didn't want Cao Cao to return to Xu Du.

This time, I don't know what I can get by virtue of my current merits, but Rong Jue will definitely be among the top three in the world, and he can also go down in history.

Even, it is very likely that these people have the secret support of Yuan Shao of Jizhou, or the princes outside the Guanwai, so they dare to act so boldly.

If you have no one to rely on, you will be afraid.

If you have something to rely on, you will be angry.

This is true of all people in the world.

It's just that some of these "reliance" are the principles of righteousness, some are feelings of small righteousness, and some are courageous interests.

can make people, fearless of death, bold!

……

After Xia Houen was bullied a few more times, he got on the horse with a sword and returned to Yingyin to recover his life.

Zhang Han was more relaxed, signaling that everyone did not need to be gathered, but should be a battalion step by step, slowly advancing, and becoming a strange soldier of Cao's army.

At this time, he found that Jia Xu hadn't spoken much from the beginning to the present, and his face was very ugly.

So he asked with concern: "Mr. Wenhe, what's wrong?" ”

"Uh......" Jia Xu pondered for a moment, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking about it below...... Sikong Huidu was ambushed, although he knew who the enemy was, but at this moment the prince was not by his side, although Sikong was fine......"

"Well, and, it happened to be halfway through the bridge...... Because of the strategic location of Anhui City, he broke away from the soldiers and horses, and took away the most elite black-robed armored horsemen of the guards, which ......"

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched, and he immediately stood up, as if facing a great enemy, "Righteousness...... Phew, my father-in-law is in trouble, don't be lazy, immediately inform the black-robed armor horse, immediately rectify and send troops, leave Runan, gallop in the starry night, and arrive in Yingyin tomorrow, accompanied by the guard! ”

"No matter who dares to secretly ambush my father-in-law, I am iron-clad Zhang Bochang No matter how powerful he is, he must be thoroughly investigated and killed!!"

Overnight, the black-robed armored cavalry poured out of the nest, and in less than ten hours, it crossed a hundred miles and caught up with Cao Cao's army.

When he arrived, Yingyin was locking down the city, forcing the nearby rogues to gather in piles, and they didn't know if there were assassins inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Han and Dian Wei only asked if the 800 cavalry in the army were tired, and everyone said that they could still fight for a day and night, so they cleared the nearby suspicious gathering places and killed hundreds of thieves who gathered.

These thieves, anyway, will breed a bunch every once in a while, whether it is in the peaceful era or in troubled times, there will be such people.

It's just a difference between "how much" and "fast and slow".

The thieves near Yingyin, even if they were people who couldn't stand the interrogation, were arrested and killed by Zhang Han, and no one cared about them afterwards, and no one came to complain.

Therefore, within one day, the entire Yingyin family was shocked, and they sacrificed their slaves and money one after another, recruited strong people in the name of each family, and cooperated with Cao Jun to investigate the people of the whole territory.

The Xun clan even dispatched his family to guard nearby, and he was not relieved until he saw the rear of the black-robed army.

Xun You personally came out to greet him, and after Zhang Han dismounted, he went to the front to explain the previous situation: "The people who ambushed were well-armed, and most of the dead bodies had calluses on their hands. ”

"People in the army who have been training for many years," Zhang Han said categorically.

"Yes, Sikong has made it clear that after he goes back, he will definitely rectify the captains around Xudu and take all the military power to garrison Xudu in his hands."

"What if those people don't admit it?" Zhang Han asked with a smile.

"They can indeed deny it, but if the matter is revealed, unless Sikong is willing to swallow it."

"Is it okay to retreat?"

Zhang Hanying raised her eyebrows and stared at Xun You, both of them at the same time.

Xun You nodded: "Then stay in the ancestral land of the Xun clan in Yingyin for a few days, and then set off in secret, so that people can spread the news." ”

"Did the prince ever have a ...... in the army Is there one who is unidentified, but never singled out? ”

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth rose and he smiled mysteriously.

"It is worthy of Xun Junshi, this kind of humanities and Mr. There are a lot of them."

The two entered the hall and saw Cao Cao who was eating tea, and the elders of the Xun clan were also talking with him, looking at each other and talking happily.

Seeing Zhang Han come in, Cao Cao quietly glanced at him and motioned for Zhang Han to come and sit down beside him.

Seeing this, the elders of the Xun clan also immediately said goodbye, left the main hall, and waited for Xun You to take a seat.

The two talked about what Fang had just been thinking about outside, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "There is no need to guess, you can also know that it was Yuan Shao or the rest of the princes who instructed it, and Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others must also be involved." ”

"It's just that the prosperity of these henchmen lies in the origin of their identity, and we have been grudges for too long, so there will be many people who want me to die."

"Above the court, it is all like this, it is not wise to force them out at this time, if you force people out and kill them, will the court be clear?"

"Hehehe, no."

Cao Cao is very clear about the current situation, "Starting tomorrow, take a detour to enter the city from the north gate, and by the way see how the city defense construction is, whether the city defense designed before has been completed after a year." ”

"And the army, go to the south gate, set up a sedan chair, and let them assassinate them, so that this group of shadows will be exhausted, so I can go to the court and ask for more power."

Zhang Han and Xun You didn't think of it, so they didn't make a sound.

The main thing is that if Cao Cao showed his fangs at the beginning and treated Liu Xie with coercion and coercion, it would not hurt to kill decisively.

Now that it is benevolent and righteous, then it is necessary to be smart enough.

"Why don't you go through the south gate, I'll go?" Zhang Han suddenly glanced at Cao Cao with a strange expression.

"Huh? You want to be in the limelight again, right," Cao Cao gave him a blank look, he didn't show it on the day of the assassination, he felt a pity?!

You are now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and you are still fighting and killing all day long, and you are not a vulgar martial artist!

"No, no, no," Zhang Han touched his nose and said, "I also want something." ”

He glanced at Cao Cao with a weak heart, and felt that he had to find a merit at the bottom first, and this was a merit for death, which belonged to the wealth of nine deaths and a lifetime to others.

But it was different for Zhang Han, and he took it by the way......

And Cao Cao had a disgusted expression, but he actually knew it very well in his heart.

Hehe, this kid must want to ask His Majesty for the logical title......

What a desire for fame and fortune! I don't want my life!
