Zhang Xiu stayed in his camp. Although he was holding a military book in his hand, Zhang Xiu's eyes did not look at the military book in his hand, because he had more things to think about, and he was no better than Liu Bei. Think less, even need to think more, because he Zhang Xiu has always been up for grabs, he is not as ambitious as Liu Bei, what he wants is not to dominate the world, Zhang Xiu also knows what he is Material, although he inherited his uncle Zhang Ji's mantle and got tens of thousands of elite Xiliang iron cavalry, and even expanded the army under his Zhang Xiu's hands, it was much stronger than the Xiliang army when his uncle Zhang Ji was there. Liu Biao and Yanzhou Cao Cao are all pulling him up, but Zhang Xiu can't govern the country. In other words, he doesn't have the ability to be a prince. Xiu is really not bad, the Xiliang iron cavalry in his hand can maneuver freely, but he can only fight, and he doesn't move at all for the rule.
But Zhang Xiu is much better than those Gongsun Zan, Guo Si, Li Jue, and others, and he lives longer. That's because Zhang Xiu has self-knowledge. The big princes relied on their own capital to exchange for a fortune. Originally, he had his eyes on Lao Cao, because Cao Cao was a candidate for the master no matter in military or political aspects, so Zhang Xiu chose at first. Cao Cao, Cao Cao is also happy, to be able to get rid of Nanyang County, which is a thorn in his eyes in Yanzhou, without fighting, and to get the loyalty of tens of thousands of heavy cavalry from Zhang Xiu's hands. This kind of business is not a loss at all. , the two parties were originally a win-win situation. It's a pity that something like Zou's happened!
As a result, Zhang Xiu killed Cao Ang, the successor of Lao Cao. The most reliable general Dian Wei. And his nephew Cao Anmin.
It can be said that Zhang Xiu decided the way to surrender to Cao Cao, because surrendering to Lao Cao, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is no longer a honeymoon period, so Zhang Xiu had to reconsider the candidate for Mingzhu, Liu Bei was also a good candidate. The candidate is mainly to attack Yangzhou this time. Liu Bei won Yangzhou and joined him with Yuzhou, and he has the land of two states in his hands. And there are elite soldiers from the third group of the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army with white-eared heavy armor. It can be said that Liu Bei is also a candidate for the Ming Dynasty. The ear heavy armor was also lost, and the general Chen Daozhan died. Although Zhang Xiu knew that it was Liu Bei who was trapped in the camp and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to save himself, but his feelings belonged to his feelings. What Zhang Xiu wanted was a male Hou Wandai is a rich man. rather than feelings. What Zhang Xiu owes Liu Bei, he can repay with emotion. But he can't just exchange his Xiliang Army's future. That's why Liu Bei sometimes expressed a desire to submit to him when he was talking to him, but Zhang Xiu politely refused. You Liu Bei is now a soldier. The horses are only tens of thousands, and Yuzhou is even more exhausted. Why should I, Zhang Xiu, surrender to you? You don't have the capital!
Rejecting Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu also felt bad! Because 20,000 Xiliang cavalry were lost in the battle of Yangzhou, Zhang Xiu also offended another person, that is Lu Bu! There are only a few people who can aspire to the top of the world in this world! Liu Biao of Jingzhou has already noticed that although he has the name of Eight Steeds, it is not worthy of the name. Even if he is capable, it is when Liu Biao is in his prime, not his current twilight years! In Jingzhou, there are Cai family, Kuai family and other gentry clans intertwined with each other. The successor after Liu Biao is not sure, and Zhang Xiu doesn't want to be a victim of it.
Cao Cao is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, but he has already offended him completely. Now Liu Bei’s backup is gone, and the only one left is Sun Ce from Jiangdong. Don’t doubt that Zhang Xiu doesn’t have such a high vision. He can’t see the princes from all walks of life. Basically, the person who can give him these insights is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in Nanyang Wancheng. Jia Xu has been protecting himself since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. He is called a poisonous man because of this person. In order to sacrifice countless people for himself, Dong Zhuo recruited him and asked him to be the three lords, but Jia Xu could see that Dong Zhuo was not a good master, so he declined Dong Zhuo's generous gift. It is because Jia Xu is afraid that after the Eighteenth Route princes defeated Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu would be settled by Qiu Hou.
The only unlucky ones who were calculated by Jia Xu were Wang Yun and Lu Bu, because Jia Xu wanted to protect himself. Wang Yun planned to kill Dong Zhuo and wanted to settle the score after the autumn. Although Jia Xu was not so conspicuous, but Wang Yun also regarded him as a person who must be killed. Jia Xu saw that Wang Yun was about to kill himself. There were only two ways, either to be killed with peace of mind, or to kill Wang Yun first, so Jia Xu chose to kill Wang Yun first. .
Guo Si and Li Jue chose to call up troops to attack Chang'an after being planned by Jia Xu! Otherwise, these two people would have been hidden in the market for a long time, how could there be such a chaos in Chang'an! Wang Yun is the one Jia Xu must kill, because Wang Yun wants Jia Xu to die!
However, Lu Bu was no longer on Jia Xu's killing list, and Jia Xu didn't want to offend others too much, or Jia Xu was not sure that he would kill Lu Bu, so before Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang'an, they sent Lu Bu a Go to the information, otherwise Lu Bu who didn't have Chen Gong at that time would be a brainless person! Maybe the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the trapped camp have already fallen into Chang'an!
Now only Sun Ce is left, Zhang Xiu made up his mind! He planned to go back to Nanyang Wancheng this time and start to unite the troops. Liu Bei said that Zhang Xiu, who would reorganize 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry for him, would not want it, because he knew that Liu Bei would not be able to protect himself, and Yuzhou could come up with it again. How much money and grain came out! Rather than making everyone unhappy like that, it's better to just forget about it.
He, Zhang Xiu, has gained a lot of background in Nanyang County over the years. It was given by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, left by his uncle Zhang Ji, and he Zhang Xiu has robbed and sold horses in transit over the years. To be honest, he will form it again There is no problem with a cavalry of 10,000 people, and the horses can be bought directly in the Xiliang area! Zhang Lu in Hanzhong will not stop Zhang Xiu's troops who buy horses, they can also go to Xiliang to gather troops, or simply train soldiers and horses among the 30,000 infantry as cavalry! With tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry, they directly waved their troops to stop and contact Jiangdong Sun Ce, attacked Jingzhou from both sides, and used Jingzhou as a gift to join Jiangdong Sun Ce's army! Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help showing a smile.
"Report to my lord, General Zhang Fei, under the command of General Zuo outside the account, please see me!" Just as Zhang Xiu was thinking, a soldier of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry came in and reported that this person was in tatters. And not too young. There is no trace of the elite of the original Xiliang iron cavalry. Zhang Xiu's personal guard battalion was originally composed of the elite Xiliang iron cavalry, but they all died in the decisive battle with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but now they can only use the remaining soldiers and horses!
"Zhang Fei? What is he doing here?!" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment. You must know that Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei still have a little friendship but they don't feel this Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei really can't control his mouth. The displeasure was immediately put on the mouth, and there are really few people who can bear Zhang Fei's mouth!
"This subordinate doesn't know!" The messenger shook his head, because Zhang Fei didn't say what he was going to do when he came.
"Let him in!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said. He didn't know why Zhang Fei was looking for him, but at least he was also Liu Bei's third brother, and he was rescued by him this time.
"Yes!" The soldiers led out.
"General Zhang Fei, my lord told you to go in and see him!" the messenger said to Zhang Fei.
"Yeah! My old Zhang knows!" Zhang Fei nodded and said, and was about to walk into the tent, when he suddenly said to the two Xiliang Iron Knights guarding outside the tent, "Go to my elder brother Qianjun!" Daying, I heard that they caught a wild boar, although there are not many, but if you go now, you can still have a mouthful of hot soup!"
"Ah, really?!" A Xiliang iron knight soldier next to him was about to drool. Their escaping for the past few days has made them suffer enough, and they have to worry about it every day. I still have to bear the bites of mosquitoes, and even the food I eat is a mess. I can only eat dry dry food with some mountain spring water. A bird has faded out of my mouth. Now when I hear that there is meat, I will naturally subconsciously I'm going to drool, even if I can't eat meat, it's good to have a sip of soup!
"Huh? General Zhang Fei? Didn't General Zuo not allow the fire to be lit? How could there be broth?!" Another soldier of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the side became suspicious, because he was afraid that the smoke from the fire would expose the actions of the entire army. , so Liu Bei gave the order that no fire is allowed, and the food is eaten raw.
"This, this!" Zhang Fei just wanted to explain something, because Zhang Fei really couldn't make up some reasons.
Fortunately, the Xiliang army who passed the order to the side just now gave an explanation, "Why are there so many? The Bingzhou wolves found out that they dare to come in!" The Xiliang cavalry has long been unhappy with the Bingzhou wolves, they are Xiliang cavalry, they are also heavy armored cavalry, it's fine if they can't beat the Bingzhou wolves, but now Afraid of being hunted down, he even lost his war horse! How can these heavy armored cavalry swallow this breath? War horses are the second life of these cavalrymen. "Hurry up, or you'll be late, and you may not even be able to drink the soup," said Liu Beijun, who has thousands of people for just one wild boar! Even if Liu Bei treats the Xiliang iron cavalry very well and makes these Xiliang iron cavalry have a good impression of Liu Bei, but Quchi really can't even drink soup.
"No, we are the lord's personal guards, so we should protect the lord!" The Xiliang cavalry shook his head. Although he was not Zhang Xiu's personal guard, he was once the personal guard of a Xiliang cavalry general, so he knew Loyal to duty.
"My lord needs your protection?!" Another Xiliang iron cavalry showed disdain. His lord's martial arts skills are so superb, and his personal guards are just for better promotion of his subordinates, and now they are all in the jungle where there is no danger. Woolen cloth! Could it be General Zuo
"I want to go to you! I'll stay here!" He frowned, he couldn't stop his robe from eating hot food, but it's not good to put his lord here for a bite of hot food, he did less than.
"If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself!" The Xiliang cavalry showed a trace of disdain, "You are here to blow the wind! General Zhang Fei, thank you very much!"
While talking, Zhang Fei clasped his fists and said.
"No thanks, no thanks!" Zhang Fei also twitched the corners of his mouth to show a smile. He looked down on this soldier who gave up his master to eat hot food. The task is also for the great cause of his elder brother, so he smiled with difficulty.
Only one of them was allowed to leave Zhang Xiu's tent, and Zhang Fei stopped for a long time watching that person's leaving figure.
"General Zhang Fei, why haven't you entered the lord's big tent yet, don't make the lord wait any longer!" The Xiliang iron knight soldier on the side reminded him kindly.
"Well, my old Zhang knows it!" Zhang Fei nodded, and suddenly Zhang Fei's eyes widened and looked behind Xiliang Iron Cavalry, "There, there is!"
"What?!" Looking at Zhang Fei's exaggerated expression, thinking that Zhang Fei had seen something, the Xiliang iron knight soldier hurriedly turned his head away, and after he turned his head, he would never be able to turn his head back again. There was only a crackling sound, and the sound of a broken neck came out.
Zhang Fei held the head of the Xiliang iron cavalry with one hand and carefully put him down. The Xiliang iron cavalry was completely out of breath, and looked at Zhang Fei with wide eyes, as if asking why.
"I'm sorry, brother, I, Lao Zhang, don't want to!" Zhang Fei said his truth. Compared with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had just left, he admired this one in front of him more because he was loyal to his duty, but also because He was loyal to his duty but lost his life. "When this happens, I, Lao Zhang, will surely be buried in your honor!"
After dragging the Xiliang cavalry into the dense forest, Zhang Fei patted his body and walked towards Zhang Xiu's tent~!
Such scenes appeared in every corner of the Zhangxiu army camp. Some were eager to leave with a bite of hot food, and some were loyal to their duties. However, due to the large number of people, Zhang Fei could not let Zhang Fei solve it directly, but even in this Zhangxiu army camp Nearly half of the troops also left the camp. (To be continued..)
