Chapter 61 ???
Xiangping City.
Dong Zhuo was also one of the warlords of Liangzhou and had a wide network of contacts in Liangzhou. In Ma Teng, Han Sui led the cavalry back to the rear, leaving behind the infantry guarding camp.
Dong Zhuo's spy heard a lot of rewards.
Zhang Xiu first attacked Didao City, then turned north, attacked Jincheng and killed Han Sui's general Wu Zhi and Han Ji, and then fought thousands of miles.
News came one after another, and Dong Zhuo's army was in full swing.
Before this, Dong Zhuo defeated Zhang Ji, Li Jue and Guo Si betrayed Dong Zhuo, and his troops and morale were greatly damaged. If it weren't for Zhang Xiu's fight against the generals, he killed Ma Teng and Guo Si's six generals, Dong Zhuo had already left after the bedding, and might have been ambushed by Ma Teng and Han Sui.
But even if Zhang Xiu won, Dong Zhuo would be able to guard it. At the critical moment, Zhang Xiu took the initiative to ask Changying and led thousands of infantry and cavalrymen to rush across Liangzhou.
At that time, the army was shocked. General Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and others thought that Zhang Xiu was crazy. Liangzhou was Han Sui and Ma Teng's territory. You dared to go there if you lead thousands of infantry and cavalrymen??? Isn't this a turtle who is too long to be long?
But Zhang Xiu really told everyone through facts that he could do it.
With more crossbows and only one month of food rations, Zhang Xiu flew thousands of miles away, and the more he fought, he became more and more fierce.
Now Zhang Xiu is very famous in Liangzhou and is also highly prestigious in Dong Zhuo's army.
The nickname "General Shenweitian" has been heard from Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers also call him Zhang Xiu this way.
People from Liangzhou worship strong people.
What is the situation now? Ma Teng and Han Sui's infantry outside the city have also stopped fighting and stopped fighting. The end time of this war can be calculated based on days.
Whether it is a general or a soldier in Xiangping City, they all feel relaxed and eat and drink.
On this day, Hua Xiong brought a team of personal soldiers and a good wine to Xu Rong to eat and drink. After arriving at the city, Hua Xiong turned over and dismounted, letting his personal soldiers guard the ground. He carried the wine and went up to the city wall. The soldiers along the way bent down and called "General Hua".
In fact, Hua Xiong's official position is the same as Zhang Xiu, and he is just a lieutenant, but the army is used to calling the lieutenant leading the army "General".
After entering the city gate tower, Hua Xiong met Xu Rong reading a book on the top.
Among Dong Zhuo's warlords, Zhang Ji and Xu Rong were all liked to read military books. Therefore, Xu Rong specially helped Zhang Xiu speak on that day, allowing Zhang Xiu to inherit Zhang Ji's troops and later took great care of Zhang Xiu.
"Stop watching, I'm here to drink with you." Hua Xiong laughed, put the wine jar next to Zhang Ji, and then sat down in front of Zhang Ji.
Xu Rong smiled slightly, put down the bamboo slips, and then called his personal soldiers to prepare cooked meat and pickled vegetables.
Soon the personal soldiers prepared to bring the wine and food. Hua Xiong and Xu Rong used a table together to eat and drink together, and brag.
It’s mainly Hua Xiong bragging.
As I blew, the fire burned to Zhang Xiu.
"I really didn't expect it. Just before General Zhang Ji died in battle, in my heart, that boy Zhang Xiu was still a hairless child. If it weren't for him in this battle, we might have suffered with our lord." Hua Xiong sighed, raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of cooked beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then raised the wine bowl and rumbled it.
This is by no means alarmist.
If Zhang Xiu had not been able to defend Xiangping City, they would have to retreat. If they retreated, they might be pursued by Ma Teng and Han Sui and ambushed.
This time, Dong Zhuo disobeyed and acted alone. If he was defeated and returned to the court, the court would be furious and he would inevitably hold him accountable.
Although Dong Zhuo has the Ten Eunuchs as a protective umbrella, he may also have to peel off his skin.
"Ganluo was appointed as the Supreme Minister of Qin in the twelve years. You should not despise him because of his young hero." Xu Rong smiled and raised the wine jar, poured the wine for Hua Xiong, put it down, and said another sentence.
"Zhang Xiu, Liangzhou Junjie is also."
"Hahahaha. What's right. Zhang Xiu killed Ma Teng and Han Sui six generals outside the city, and then ran rampant in Liangzhou. If he was not a Junjie, wouldn't we be grass-gray?" Hua Xiong laughed and agreed.
"Da da da da!!!"
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from the direction of the city and then reached the East City Gate. The horse knight turned over and dismounted and walked to the city gate tower to report: "Report to the two generals. General Zhang Xiu sent someone to send news that he killed Song Jian and had the capital of Shihan City. Ma Teng, Han Sui saw that he was helpless and had retreated. He repaired the troops in Shihan City and could return to Xiangping City."
"The lord was overjoyed when he heard this, so he invited the two generals to have a drink."
After hearing this, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong looked at each other. Unexpectedly, they really didn't expect that Zhang Xiu not only ran rampant in Liangzhou, but also killed Song Jian.
Song Jian was a famous rebel who followed Han Sui and Ma Teng and was also a famous traitor in the court, but unexpectedly he was killed by Zhang Xiu.
"This is a great contribution. The lord confronted the rebels in Liangzhou. Although he killed the kingdom, he also defeated Zhang Xiu and lost Li Jue and Guo Si, which was not considered a victory. Now that Zhang Xiu killed Song Jian, he could just use it as a fuss. The lord might be promoted."
Xu Rongzhi's thoughts were more profound and showed a thoughtful look.
"It's a good thing anyway. The lord is promoted and wealthy, and we are indispensable." Hua Xiong's idea was much simpler and he laughed.
"Yes." Xu Rong said with a smile. Then Hua Xiong stood up and said, "Let's go. I didn't drink it well. I just happened to go to the lord's mansion to drink it well."
"Haha." Xu Rong laughed and stood up.
The two walked out of the city gate tower together, came to the city, and turned over and galloped towards Dong Zhuo's mansion.
Soon, Dong Zhuo and his entire army learned about the news and were filled with joy.
The generals gathered at Dong Zhuo's mansion.
............
Zhang Xiu, who was like a devil, controlled the granary in the city in Qinghan City, robbed the food of farmers and herdsmen outside the city, and forcibly migrated the people inside and outside the city. In addition, the Qiang population, nearly 200,000 people walked slowly eastward. After more than half a month, he finally arrived near Xiangping City.
At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui's infantry had also retreated.
Han Sui went back to Jincheng, and Ma Teng went back to Jicheng.
Of course, the people who were forcibly migrated had complaints in their hearts, but Zhang Xiu was strong in the army and was also the "General of Shenwei Tian". They did not dare to express their complaints, and they were quite harmonious along the way.
Now that he has returned to Xiangping City, Zhang Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. It is really not easy to go to Liangzhou to rampantly. If you are not careful, you will be defeated and killed.
Now I finally made it through, and it will be a great achievement when I come back.
Zhang Xiu, who was riding on his horse in the cold wind, turned around and shouted to the team: "There is Xiangping City ahead. When you reach the outside of the city, you can set up camps, bury pots and cook rice, and speed up the marching."
"No." The messenger conveyed Zhang Xiu's orders, and then everyone in the team was excited and accelerated.
Who doesn’t like hot meals in this icy and snowy place?
Not long after, Zhang Xiu arrived at the east of Xiangping City and saw the Xiangping City Gate open from afar. Dong Zhuo stood up and greeted him in person.
Zhang Xiu knew what kind of urination Dong Zhuo was, so he naturally would not be proud of himself. So he immediately ordered Pang De, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others to take charge of the people and horses, and galloped forward with Dian Wei and more than ten riders. Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to do anything, he turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "Dong Gong."
As expected by Zhang Xiu, Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Zhang Xiu's respect. He laughed and turned over and dismounted, helped Zhang Xiu up very kindly and generously, and said, "Da Lang doesn't have to be too polite."
After helping Zhang Xiu up, Dong Zhuo patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Let's go north and sacrifice his life. Dalang has worked so hard. Thanks to Dalang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, we have retreated. I, the generals, Xiangping City, are peaceful because of Dalang."
"Mr. Dong is so generous. Mr. Dong has the kindness of cultivating my uncle and nephew. My uncle and nephew have no choice but to ride a horse and fight for Mr. Dong. This is all I should do."
Zhang Xiu's eyes turned red, he looked a little choked, and then bowed his hands to bow.
This acting is quite smooth.
Dong Zhuo had always loved Zhang Xiu and knew that Zhang Xiu was loyal. Otherwise, how could thousands of infantry and cavalrymen rampant in Liangzhou? Now seeing Zhang Xiu's expression makes him feel even warm.
"Dalang, I am true to myself." Dong Zhuo sighed deeply, hugged Zhang Xiu's shoulders with his own hands, and helped Zhang Xiu up.
The surrounding generals such as Li Ru, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Fan Chou also agreed with each other.
After Zhang Xiu’s incident, who can doubt his loyalty to Dong Zhuo?
Loyalty.
After a "touching" conversation, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and ordered all the staff to go back to the city, saying nothing about it, and celebrating the celebration banquet.
So the group all turned over and rode their horses into the city to Dong Zhuo's mansion.
On that day, Zhang Xiu was drunk by Dong Zhuo and other guys. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands. Although Zhang Xiu has a good alcohol tolerance, there are many people who can persuade him to drink.
After Zhang Xiu was drunk, he stayed in Dong Zhuo's mansion, including more than ten personal soldiers including Dian Wei.
However, Zhang Xiu was young and energetic. After sleeping, he became very energetic the next day. After using breakfast with Dian Wei, Dong Zhuo sent someone to invite him.
After Zhang Xiu tidied up his clothes, he took Dian Wei to Dong Zhuo's study with him. He left Dian Wei waiting outside, and Zhang Xiu walked in.
In the study, Dong Zhuo sat on the head seat with a smile on his face, next to him was Li Ru sitting with him.
Zhang Xiu first bowed to Dong Zhuo and called him "Dong Gong", and then bowed respectfully to Li Ru, saying "Mr.
The etiquette is excellent.
Who doesn't like this polite and good guy? Not only did Dong Zhuo laugh, but he asked Zhang Xiu to sit down. Li Ru pinched his beard, but also had a little smile on his face.
After Zhang Xiu sat down, Dong Zhuo did not hide it and said bluntly: "Dalang. This time you have made great contributions. There are a few things to come to you. The first thing is to ask you what reward you want."
