"My lord, I encountered something, and I feel that I need to resolve it quickly..."

After Zhang Ji saw Hua Xiong, he bowed his hands and saluted Hua Xiong very respectfully.

Address Hua Xiong directly as lord.

This is the second person among the Xiliang generals Hua Xiong has recruited recently to call Hua Xiong his lord.

The first person to call Hua Xiong his lord was Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu.

Ever since he witnessed how Lu Bu was beaten up time and again by the Guanzhong Allied Forces at Hulao Pass, the fire in Zhang Xiu's eyes disappeared when he looked at Lu Bu.

Very neatly, he became the little fan of Hua Xiong, the man who violently tortured the Kwantung Allied Forces.

When he was at Hulao Pass, Zhang Xiu felt that when it came to martial arts in the world, Hua Xiong was first, Lu Bu was second, and he, Zhang Xiu, was third in the world.

However, after seeing Xu Chu fight Lu Bu naked, he felt very confident that his ranking had once again dropped one place.

From the former outlaw Zhang San, he became the current Zhang Si.

Zhang Xiu has admired Hua Xiong for a long time.

Before Dong Zhuo died, he was working under Niu Fu with his uncle. Without any suitable reason, he naturally had no way to come to Hua Xiong.

Everything is different now.

He came to Hua Xiong's command openly and honestly.

How could Zhang Xiu, who had been looking forward to this for a long time, hold back?

He immediately worshiped Hua Xiong as his lord.

There is no psychological burden at all.

Zhang Ji still has no son. Even after he came to Chang'an and took in a beautiful concubine named Zou, there was still no movement.

Zhang Xiu, his nephew, was raised as his son and his heir.

Unable to resist Zhang Xiu's various instigations and ideological work, Zhang Ji felt that it was not good to recognize Hua Xiong as his lord so quickly.

But in the end it was done.

After doing this, Li Jue, Guo Si and others quietly distanced themselves from him.

An invisible barrier developed between them.

They felt that Zhang Ji's behavior was really embarrassing.

Feel shameless.

Hua Xiong used to be a follower behind them, but now he suddenly became their boss. There was no way to explain this, and there was no way to change it. He could only recognize it by pinching his nose.

But now, Zhang Ji has shamelessly acknowledged his lord directly. This is a treatment that even Niu Fu and others do not have.

But now Zhang Ji has done it like this.

This made them ashamed to associate with Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji was a little embarrassed at the beginning.

However, after some weighing, I quickly gave up this idea.

And began to urge the others to recognize Hua Xiong as their lord.

He knew clearly that as long as the others recognized Hua Xiong as their lord, they would have no way to laugh at him.

As a result, until now, he has not deceived anyone else.

This made Zhang Ji quite depressed and felt that these people were too stupid.

Hua Xiong's ability is obvious to all, so this is the perfect time to pick him up.

These people miss good opportunities and do not recognize good hearts.

You have already taken orders from Hua Xiong, so what’s the problem if you take advantage of the situation and recognize your lord?

Zhang Ji felt that these people were worthy and upright.

Well, this is a mutual spat at the tactical level.

"Zidu, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Hua Xiong signaled Zhang Ji not to be too polite.

Looking at Zhang Ji, he said this.

Although he still didn't know what Zhang Ji was talking about, he already took it seriously.

Not because Zhang Ji recognized him as his lord, but because from his contact with Zhang Ji, he knew that Zhang Ji was a smart man who took the overall situation into consideration.

Doing things appears to be reliable and not aimless.

Since he found himself personally, he must have discovered something.

Zhang Jidao: "My lord, the last general discovered that as we approached Chang'an, many lower-level soldiers were not very willing to fight.

Some people even want to leave.

Because the emperor's edict said that the sins of the lower-level soldiers can be forgiven and will not be pursued..."

When Hua Xiong heard this, his eyes narrowed.

Is this the case?

This is a very important thing and must be taken seriously!

Hua Xiong immediately took action to investigate.

He found that this situation had not happened among the troops he had commanded before.

It mainly happened among the subordinates who joined later, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Li Meng.

From here we can see the difference between these people's subordinates and Hua Xiong's subordinates.

Although they were all Xiliang troops, and at the beginning, the troops and horses commanded by Hua Xiong were not as elite as Li Jue and Guo Si.

But after experiencing many fights, he has become different.

The number of low-level soldiers who had this desire was not too large, but they immediately attracted Hua Xiong's attention.

The matter of soldiers and horses is not a trivial matter, even the smallest issue needs to be taken seriously.

Not to mention that there is a war now.

Hua Xiong immediately summoned Jia Xu, Yang Song, Yang Bai, Jia Kui, Zhao Song and others and told them about the matter and asked them to find a way to solve it immediately.

Hua Xiong himself is also thinking of a solution.

After a while of this, Yang Song took the lead and spoke.

He said what he thought of.

It's very simple, it's to kill people to establish prestige, and then use some money, military exploits, etc. as rewards and inducements.

Yang Bai said that he should use emotion and reason to analyze the strong relationship between these soldiers and let them give up this idea...

Everyone came up with ideas, but Hua Xiong was not satisfied after hearing it.

How could he not come up with these ideas?

The effects are limited, and some even have counter-effects.

None of this is what Hua Xiong wants.

Looking at Jia Xu, who was still there, pretending to think seriously and participating in this matter, but actually unknowingly drank three cups of the good tea made by Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong felt helpless.

Jia Xu’s temper is really hard to change!

Immediately he looked at Jia Xu and said, "Commander, what do you think about this matter? Is there any way? Don't just drink tea."

Hua Xiong directly named him, not giving Jia Xu a chance to continue.

When they heard Hua Xiong calling for military advisor, everyone turned their attention to Jia Xu.

At this time, Hua Xiong had captured the land of Hanzhong, and there were quite a few talented and learned people around him, but the only one who could be called a military advisor by Hua Xiong was Jia Xu.

When Yang Song and Yang Bai saw Hua Xiong calling Jia Xu's name, although they didn't show anything on their faces, they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, as if they were watching a joke.

Jia Xu's stubbornness made them all regard Jia Xu as a person without any real talent or learning.

I feel that Jia Xu has such a big reputation in front of Hua Xiong simply because he followed Hua Xiong early and got the upper hand.

He is older than everyone else.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for this guy to stand so tall.

However, holding a high position without talent is a fault in itself.

Both Yang Song and Yang Bai are confident that through their own efforts, they will be reused in Hua Xiong in the future, and will eventually surpass Jia Xu and replace Jia Xu's position in Hua Xiong.

Hearing Hua Xiong speak, Jia Xu silently put the tea cup back in her hand.

He knew that he could no longer go on.

Otherwise, according to the temperament of this lord, I am afraid that he will draw his sword and kill himself again.
