Chapter 500

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully.

He and Liu Xun had a friendship of eating and drinking together, chatting about the world, talking about Geng's teeth, and asking how many people there were in the family, but there was no further friendship.

In fact, the situation of several of them is a little sympathetic, if Liu Xun is willing, Zhang Xiu has a bunch of children in his family, and he is willing to marry him by marriage, after all, two thousand stones are too guarded, many friends and many roads, I heard that he also has a bunch of children at home, isn't it just right?

But Liu Xun was very reserved, and Zhang Xiu hinted before the war, but he ignored it. After the war, seeing Liu Xun fighting like that, Zhang Xiu also rested his heart.

His heart to marry was born out of a border warrior's envy of the minister, and this heart was also born out of a border warrior's contempt for this kind of waste wood, and now Jia Xu asked coldly, he was a little panicked, I don't know if he was too cold to treat Liu Xun, what was wrong.

There was silence in the cart for a while before Zhang Xiu's dry voice sounded.

"I treated Liu Zitai very politely, but I ......"

"That's good," Jia Xu said, "it's good if it's not familiar." ”

"First of all, I don't understand what the gentleman said."

Jia Xu slowly touched his beard.

"Now that the general has arrived, there is no way out, no matter what rumors you hear in the future, don't pay attention to it."

Zhang Xiu looked at him stunned, "What kind of wind?" ”

The little old man on the other side didn't explain, "As long as the general follows Liu Xuande wholeheartedly, listen to his dispatch." ”

This sounds easier, and the answer is also easy, anyway, if he doesn't follow Liu Bei now, who can he follow?

Zhang Xiu responded.

The cart continued to grunt, and the crackling sound of torches continued to sound outside the curtain, reflecting Jia Xu's face flickering.

"There is one more thing that the general should keep in mind."

"Mr. Wang's teachings?"

"The discipline in the camp is lax, and now I am living in Xu Cheng, and the general should restrain the soldiers, be cautious!"

The warning in this sentence was so strong that Zhang Xiu was taken aback.

"Why?"

When he left the city and returned to the camp of the Xiliang army, the soldiers gradually returned to the camp.

Liu Bei brought them cow wine to reward the guests, and the soldiers were able to enjoy the hard-won stew and turbid wine by the fire.

The light of the fire illuminated their tattered clothes and their faces.

They were feasting, and they didn't have time to wipe the juice from the corners of their mouths.

The gravy was dark brown and steaming, and there were some splashes and spills on them except the corners of their mouths, and they didn't have time to look at them more.

Anyway, their clothes are not afraid of getting dirty.

What they were when they came down from the battlefield that day, and what they still are.

Their clothes were covered with mud, blood, and even dried flesh foam, covered with gravy, all of which were dark brown marks, and were not out of harmony.

Zhang Xiu came in from the gate and found a shadow to stand and look at them, they were indeed eating and drinking like this.

Someone fought with someone for a piece of meat and got into a fight.

The stew fell on his pants, which were also stained, and the soldier picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth.

Their expressions seem to be pleasant, but they also seem to be crazy, they don't care, and they enjoy this pleasure in the present moment with all their hearts, and they don't think about what the future holds.

Laughter and cheers came from the depths of the camp.

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment and walked in that direction.

He soon saw the women dancing by the fire, the beating soldiers, and the captains and subordinates who were there like turtles with their necks stretched and shrunk to guide the rhythm.

The woman was very poorly dressed, and walked around the fire with her bare feet, twisting and twisting, and her two snow-white arms like lotus roots waved in the firelight, and she must have never learned to dance, and she danced very stiffly, and it was not moving. But she has a slender waist, so if she moves a little wider, she can win the applause of those people.

After a round of cheering, someone caught a glimpse of their commander standing at the door of the tent and immediately got up and shouted out to the general in a loud voice.

The woman lay on the ground cautiously and did not dare to move. Those generals are all old subordinates around him, but they are very calm.

They even grinned and asked her to look up and ask him to see how the color was.

If you think it's okay, how about sending it to him tonight?

Zhang Xiu looked around the tent, "Who brought the woman into the camp?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Someone looked at him in disbelief.

"Why is the gentleman so solemn? I've always restrained soldiers! ”

The wheels rolled, and Jia Xu seemed to smile contemptuously.

"General, I also came out of the Xiliang Army, don't I know what kind of 'constraint' the general said?"

This is Liu Bei's territory, and he told the soldiers in advance, don't kill people, don't set fires, don't loot property, and don't rob men and women.

It is actually not easy to restrain the Xiliang soldiers, they have no parents, wives and children like Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers, and they don't have a hometown to go back to, but their combat experience is much stronger than that of the Qingzhou soldiers. They have been stationed on the frontier for so many years, what kind of cunning enemy they have never seen, what kind of suffering they have not suffered?

They are still able to fight well, but the Han will no longer support them, and the Duke of Dong will not support them, but they can't disarm and return to the field, because after so many ordinary people in Longyou cannibalized each other, they actually gave birth to new princes, and they are still fighting in that land.

As a result, they gradually stopped remembering what they were like when they were Han soldiers, and they were no longer proud of their past achievements.

Instead, they raised their butcher knives and slaughtered like wild beasts, slaughtering everywhere they passed, slaughtering men, women, and children whom they had once protected.

They have seen too much death and lost their sense of honor, but they still hold on and refuse to die!

Even if they have become beasts, they are still the former Xiliang Army of the Han Dynasty!

Dong Gong had so many Luxi Liang troops, and they gradually scattered in the mutual attack, or became rogues, or died, and only a few remained - among them was Zhang Xiu.

As a result, Jia Xu looked at him and admonished him as if he was talking about a book from heaven: I want him to think about what he was like when he was a county official, and ask him to think about what the Xiliang Army was like at that time.

…… This is ridiculous.

"Isn't it gentleman who persuaded Li Daoguo-"

Jia Xu glanced at him deeply, obviously he was just a scribe, but at that glance, Zhang Xiu was cold all over his body.

"General, that's just an expedient measure to survive," he said word by word, "and I advise the general today for the sake of the general's future safety." ”

This Xiliang man was restless, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Could it be that Liu Bei will do something to my soldiers?" ”

"Liu Bei has a generous temperament, if he wants to do anything, he will always persuade the general first," Jia Xu said, "Lu Lian will not." ”

"General, general, we didn't do anything to her...... We, we paid her money! ”

The noisy sound suddenly woke Zhang Xiu from his trance, and he glanced at the woman lying on the ground again.

"Take a robe for her, send her out of the camp, and order the military judge to come and patrol the camp with me." Zhang Xiu silently thought about Jia Xu's words in her heart, "From today onwards, if I see you and others kidnapping women and doing illegal things, be careful of your head!" ”

That face was indeed very beautiful, and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes, and the gratitude in her eyes made Zhang Xiu feel uncomfortable.

- Don't thank me, if it's normal, I'm too lazy to take care of the things in the camp, he thought to himself, if you have to thank you, thank Lu Lian who can still take the time to throw a shoe when queuing up to receive visitors from afar!

Lu Lian sat cross-legged on the mat and rubbed his feet.

The charcoal basin was hot, and she reached for the fire, which was so comfortable that she wanted to put her feet on it.

But sitting opposite Sima Yi, with his hands tied in his sleeves, sat upright, his waist was very straight, and he looked at her silently.

She thought she had to do it.

"It's so late, Zhongda hasn't gone to rest, is there something urgent?"

"I think that Chen Cheng may not be able to persuade the general, so I also want to give it a try."

“…… Oh. ”

"The general is not the same as before, so he should be more cautious."

She pouted.

What Chen Qun said, Sima Yi said again.

However, Sima Yi is obviously more amazing than Chen Qun.

"How is the kindness of the general and the lord?"

She scratched her head, "It's good." ”

"If the general tastes an extremely sweet peach and can't bear to eat it, so he sacrifices it to the lord, is he willing to accept it?"

"I ate it all straight away," she complained, "and I can't bear it." ”

Sima Yi also glared at her with two puffed eyes.

"I mean, at this time, at that time, isn't the general afraid of the bird hiding the bow?"

When she heard this, she thought about it and shook her head.

"I never think about it."

“…… Why? ”

"I'm not a lackey, I'm not a good bow, I'm not a cavalry general, I'm not a Ji Tinghou," she said, "I don't want any fame or fortune, so the lord won't listen to those slanders." ”

Through the firelight, Sima Yi looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Is the general going to be a sage?"

She thought for a moment.

"I haven't seen any sages," she said, "and I'm just not here." ”

She stood up, pushed open the door, and a cold wind blew in.

Stars fell in her eyes, twisting and sinking, shining like flowing water.

Orion rose, and the three stars around his waist were like a string of silver earrings, twinkling and flashing, quiet and lovely.

When she stretched out her hand as if to touch it, Sima Yi couldn't help but sneeze.

…… Except for the end of the year, the weather is indeed getting colder day by day.

"Since Cai Mao and Zhang Xiu have tried the cavalry of Gao Gan, we should also do something serious."
