Zhang Han hurriedly came out of the tent, saw Cao Cao with a hearty smile on his face, strode over, and was about to walk into the tent.

"See the prime minister," Zhang Han hurriedly took the lead in saluting, and all the civil and military forces behind him bowed down, Cao Cao smiled and stretched out his hand to salute back, signaling them all to get up.

"Bochang, I heard that you have made a fortune, more than 1,600 war horses."

"Who beats Lao Tzu Xiao Report!!" Zhang Han was numb when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around to look.

Cao Cao happily patted him on the back, "Don't wronged people, I already knew, of the more than 1,000 war horses, you left two hundred and fifty, and the rest were sent to the tiger and leopard riding camp for me." ”

"What are you doing! Robbery!? Zhang Han's eyes widened, "I got it with all my painstaking efforts, and I damaged a lot of brothers!" ”

"Ten times the pension, it's a lot," Cao Cao smiled happily, leaned a little closer, and said softly: "Besides, you transferred the camp privately without reporting it, this is a big crime, a big crime of rebellion......

Zhang Han leaned back sharply, widening the distance between him and Cao Cao, so that he could see the ugly face of the lord clearly!!

"This, this acquiescence!!"

Zhang Han Qingxiu's face was tightly wrinkled, and he felt that the whole person was not good.

"When did I acquiesce!?" Cao Cao smiled very surprised, and stared at him with his hands outstretched, "If I acquiesce to you moving the camp today, then everyone can do it tomorrow?" ”

"Conscience of heaven and earth!" Zhang Han clapped his hands, his blood surged, and he began to warm up coldly, "You absolutely acquiesce, then when we move the camp, the school affairs will be in our eyes, and we will definitely report it as soon as possible!" ”

"Didn't you already know?"

"Oh," Cao Cao blinked and looked at the sky, as if he was remembering something, "I really don't know, I was in the northern barracks during this time, and I just came back, so I also just learned the news, and now I'll tell you-"

Cao Cao smiled and leaned closer and said, "No." ”

"Iniquity!" Zhang Han shook his hands angrily and explained: "I can expand another black-robed armored cavalry battalion, and two thousand cavalry will definitely be of great use in the future!" ”

"You are still organizing two thousand cavalry in Dali Temple, so do I have to build a ten thousand cavalry army?"

"Yes, yes, with your prestige, it is not too much for you to form 100,000 horsemen to level the Han rebels......"

"Don't come to this set," Cao Cao looked at him happily, "How about it?" Zhang Sizheng, are you interested in talking about the private camp? ”

"No, I only left two hundred and fifty horsemen, and the rest were sent to the northern camp."

Zhang Han said in a low voice, unwillingly aiming at Cao Cao several times.

"You're really a chicken thief," Zhang Han muttered, and Dian Wei winked, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, "Even when I came back, I pinched a little to ask for a horse." ”

"Hey, hey, hey," Cao Cao's words were mixed with reverberation and laughter, and he said earnestly: "Alas, there is one more thing I have to tell you." ”

"What?" Zhang Han suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"I have sent a letter to Jingzhou to ride this matter, and their horses and goods have been robbed by bandits...... Maybe after a while, there will be an envoy from Jingzhou to ask for it, and this matter is taken over by you, so you will talk about it at that time. ”

Zhang Han: "......"

Bah! Cao thief!!

Waiting for me here?! And how do you think the same way as mine!?

It's all pushed to the bandits, and then eaten by themselves, is this the conventional method of today's big men to make a fortune?

As soon as Zhang Han was about to sprinkle, Cao Cao immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "I will select 500 horses from those Xiliang BMWs to allocate to you, plus what I promised before, well, a total of 800 war horses, and other armaments and military funds can be allocated." ”

"Really?" Zhang Han turned his worries into joy, his face was good, and he hurriedly laughed happily, "Then thank you father-in-law!" The father-in-law invites him to sit in the tent for a while, and the son-in-law will arrange for someone to lead the horse first, and then prepare wine and food. ”

Dian Wei: "......"

Zhao Yun: "?!! ”

Zhang Han's nodding and bowing appearance shocked everyone present, especially Zhao Yun.

The prince is simply at his fingertips...... There is no delay between the changes, and it is so natural.

In the evening, Cao Cao stayed in Nanlin Mountain, discussed many large and small affairs with Zhang Han, and at the same time determined some military orders for the accumulation of armaments.

Zhang Han proposed to recruit craftsmen to set up a workshop, just like the medical department during the winter disaster last year.

Mainly based on a family of craftsmen, recruit craftsmen with superb skills and advanced ideas, improve today's armaments, and strictly build sophisticated armaments.

At the same time, Liu Bei, who lived in the inner city of Xudu, was greatly surprised when he heard the news of Zhao Yun's arrival, and immediately rushed home from the military camp, and at the same time sent someone to call Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After the three brothers met in the mansion, as soon as they heard the news, Zhang Fei was the happiest, he himself was bold and straightforward, he liked to make friends, and in addition to his two brothers over the years, he was Jian Yong, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun.

It's just that Zhao Yun has been gone for too long, and the three brothers have never known his whereabouts.

"I thought it would be difficult to see each other in this life!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he was quite excited, and he pulled Liu Bei's arm and said: "Although Zilong doesn't like to drink and is strict with himself, he is indeed a heroic general. ”

"I haven't seen you for many years, he has to eat this wine even if he doesn't eat it!" Zhang Fei bluntly said what he thought in his heart.

But seeing that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were not too happy, and their expressions were quite indifferent, Zhang Fei looked left and right, puzzled: "What's wrong, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it worth drinking when Zilong comes to meet us? ”

"Hehe," Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, his reddish face was moved for a moment, patted Zhang Fei's shoulder, and said softly: "Third brother, don't be so excited, Zilong didn't come to us." ”

"It is the prime minister's conquest, and now he lives under Zhang Han and is the commander of the guard."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei's enthusiasm was half less, his shoulders hung slightly, and his face was a little surprised, "Zhang Han? ”

"How could you vote for Zhang Han?" Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out at all, once a person like Zilong found our news, he would definitely come to vote as soon as possible.

His old lord Gongsun Chan is dead, and it is impossible for him to belong to Yuan Shao, because even if he was disappointed in Gongsun Chan at the beginning, he still had a favor to follow, and it was impossible to devote himself to Yuan Shao's command.

Otherwise, he will be poked in the back, and he will blame himself for the rest of his life.

Therefore, if you don't vote for Yuan Shao, it is naturally the only way to the south, and it is indeed not a strange thing to be able to get close to Xu Du.

But, why did he suddenly go to Zhang Han's command? Even if you join the army, you should also vote for Cao Cao's military camp.

"Zilong, what's wrong!?"

"How could he be with that little doll of Zhang Han!" Zhang Fei looked incredulous, "I'll ask him!" ”

He was about to go out, but was pulled by Liu Bei, "Third brother, don't make a mistake." ”

Liu Bei squeezed out a smile on his face and persuaded: "You don't have to ask, people have their own way back, and it is natural for Zilong to come, but if he follows Zhang Han, he must also have a reason to follow." ”

"I heard that it was because the prime minister rescued Zilong's eldest sister-in-law and nephew, and received Xu Du to live, so he recruited to conquer it."

"After Zilong left Gongsun Zhan, he couldn't live at home, his eldest brother has died, so only the widowed sister-in-law and nephew are there, and it is inconvenient to live at home, this is a kindness, Zilong must pay it back."

"Oh," Zhang Fei was still a little annoyed, lowered his head and was silent, and said after a while: "Alas, it's no wonder I didn't hear the news, Zhang Han's kid is good, and he will be kind to Zilong, okay, follow him." ”

Liu Bei smiled and put his arm around his shoulder: "That's right, let's go, let's go to visit Bochang together, and catch up with Zilong by the way." ”

"Well, it's okay," Jian Yong smiled in front of him, "The lord should go and see him, if Zilong cares about the old feelings, maybe he will follow the lord again in the future, after all, when we walked together, Zilong was also happy from the bottom of his heart." ”

"Hahaha, it's a good thing if you can do that!" Liu Bei did not shy away from such thoughts, because he was not a conspiracy to win over, it was just a matter of Zilong's intentions.

"Eh, yes, yes, go!" Zhang Fei smiled again, and hurriedly pulled left and right to prepare to go out, "Let's go and have a look, and get closer to Zilong in the future, it is best to be able to pull away from Zhang Han." ”

"In this way, sooner or later, our friendship will be heavier, and Zilong will know who to follow!"

He kept calling and rushed out first, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also followed slowly behind, telling him to stop from time to time and so on.

When they arrived at the gate in front of Zhang Han's mansion in the inner city, Liu Bei went to ask for a meeting, and the guard at the door arched his hand and said: "Back to General Liu, my prince and marquis have been in the military camp for several months. ”

"The camp has been moved to Nanlin Mountain, if you want to pay a visit, you have to go to Nanlin Mountain to find him, but there is a secret order in the camp, it is a secret training, and you need to ask the Prime Minister's Mansion for a letter of recommendation to pass."

"Oh......" Liu Bei chuckled in his heart, and his calm mood, which had not fluctuated for a long time, suddenly chuckled.

Secret military training, south of the mountain......

It's Zhang Han's territory, and it's been there for months, which is simply ......

Liu Bei suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, Zhang Han wouldn't be guarding against me, right?

No, the gentleman is frank, don't speculate on others like this, and now when it was supposed to be an emergency training force, it is not strange that Zhang Han led the troops to the Nanlin Mountain station.

But that's too much of a coincidence.

Liu Bei felt a pity, it was not easy to see Zilong, if such a talented person stayed with Zhang Han for a few months, the more entangled the two of them were, the more difficult it would be for him to return to me.

I'm afraid, this is fate.

"Ah, thank you." Liu Bei nodded slightly, smiled lightly, and said, "If the prince comes back, please inform him that Liu Bei, the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, has come to visit." ”

"Okay, Xuande Gong, please." The guards were very polite and bowed down and smiled.

Liu Bei returned to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, both of them asked each other curiously, Liu Bei shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Training troops in Nanlin Mountain, doing secret things, if you want to meet each other, you must get the Prime Minister's signal to pass." ”

"Huh?" Several people were stunned, "Isn't this guarding against us?" ”

"Nonsense," Liu Bei smiled dumbly, and looked at Zhang Fei with a pretended reproach, "Now that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is preparing for the war against Yuan Shao in the north and recovering the lost territory of the Han Dynasty, he is going to train in secret." ”

"How could it be that because of such a trivial matter, the laborers mobilized the troops and horses to go to the south of the mountain."

"That's right, then wait for them to come back, Zilong won't be able to run anyway."

Zhang Fei sighed, his emotions passed quickly, and he turned around and left first.

It was Liu Bei and Jian Yong who glanced at each other, and both of them felt a little helpless, and if they were a step late, they had to be restrained step by step.

"Alas, our intelligence news is too closed, and Zilong's news can't be found at all."

"Yes," Liu Bei also lamented, "In Xu Du, I am controlled everywhere, although I am also comfortable, but I can't grow stronger, although the prime minister is very good to me, but after all, I can't serve the Han as I wish." ”

"I have the intention, if I can make meritorious contributions to Prime Minister Cao Cheng and repay the kindness of these days, I should ask him to go to other states and counties first to govern one side, just like in Pingyang, Xiaopei, and Liang."

"That's right," Jian Yong sighed, smiled as if relieved, and looked at Liu Bei seriously, "The lord is a person who has great achievements, and he can't be bound by Cao Gong." ”

"Xianhe, don't say that about the prime minister."

Liu Bei has always been thinking about Cao Cao's goodness, and he can't listen to anyone say bad things about him.

"Let's stay for a while, and I'll talk about it when I see Zilong......"

……

A month and a half later, an envoy from Jingzhou came to see him, but Jingzhou did not drive Liu Xian.

After going to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven, he collected all the affairs of Jingzhou last year and offered tribute, which also showed Liu Biao's heart to support the Han court.

On the same day, he was appreciated by Liu Xie, and he was rewarded with a cadre of Jingzhou civil and military.

Later, Liu first stayed in the Xudu Post House, never left, visited many old friends of the scholar clan, and today is to visit Prime Minister Cao Cao with heavy gifts.

The two were in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they set up seats in the small pavilion and talked happily.

"Prime Minister, in addition to paying tribute, my lord has another thing I want to ask the Prime Minister for help."

"Huh?" Cao Cao put down the wine, and his expression gradually became solemn, "Shizong said that it doesn't matter, if it is within my ability, I will help." ”

Liu Xian was thin, his face was round, his neck was slightly long, and he looked quite thin, with a slight smile on his face at this time, he stood up and arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister, Jingzhou used the capital in the territory before, purchased war horses from Liangzhou, and transported them to Jingzhou in batches to form an army. ”

"It should have been delivered within a month or two after the beginning of spring, but recently Jingzhou received news that all these merchants and horses had been plundered, and there was no follow-up after that."

"I wonder, are those bandits still there? If so, can you ask the prime minister to send troops to exterminate them, and let the goods be returned to Jingzhou. ”

"Oh, this matter ......" Cao Cao suddenly, patted his head, and laughed happily, "That gang of bandits, as early as a month ago, was destroyed by my black-robed armored horsemen, have you ever heard of it?" ”

"Black-robed armor ride, I've heard it." Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, and for some reason he had a bad feeling, Cao Cao pushed the matter to the black-robed armored horseman, and the commander of the guards was ...... Gao Shun, Dian Wei.

Dian Wei is the fierce general who captured Lu Bu alive, known as the unparalleled enemy in the world.

On top of that, Dian Wei was the marquis's guard, and the two had been together since they became famous.

The real commander of the black-robed armored cavalry is the prince surnamed Zhang.

I heard that he likes money, treasures, beautiful people and wine, and if you want to discuss this matter with him, I am afraid that you must start by making friends......
