After listening to Ma Su's idea, Zhang Shao felt like the rain was coming after a long drought. He suddenly felt that the clouds were opening and the sun was shining brightly in front of his eyes. He respectfully sent Ma Su out of the camp, watched Ma Su float away, and then returned to the camp.
In the middle, he shouted repeatedly: "Hurry, prepare my horse quickly, I want to go out."
Ma Di sat in the car and let out a long breath. He knew that this hard work was finally coming to an end. No matter what the final result was, Li Yan would not rush him anymore. This matter was really troublesome. Li Yan himself
He didn't show up, but let him deal with it. Is this matter so easy to deal with? If it was really easy, Li Yan wouldn't leave it to him.
He is now dedicated to handling troubles for Li Yan, and he also knows that Li Yan does not trust him. On the contrary, Li Yan is squeezing him out intentionally or unintentionally. He has worked so hard to do these things, and he has offended so many people.
If there are too many people, the reputation in the court will be ruined in the future. If you want to ascend to that high position, you will inevitably encounter great resistance.
However, Li Yan has Li Yan's power, and he has his own skills. As a wise man who once relied on Zhuge Liang as his confidant, getting out of this kind of problem is just easy.
…
Zhang Shao took a few personal guards and rode the war horses just sent from Xiliang. He returned home like a gust of wind. He first told his mother, Mrs. Xiahou, what Ma Di had said, and then asked her to prepare a generous gift.
The Zhao Mansion paid homage to Mrs. Zhao Yun, and then rushed to the palace gate to wait. After hearing this, Mrs. Xiahou was very happy and immediately got busy.
When Zhao Tong came out of the palace, he saw Zhang Shao with a bright smile on his face. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward and said with a smile: "Jixian, what are you..."
"I'm here to greet you." Zhang Shao stepped forward, hugged Zhao Tong's shoulders affectionately, and winked: "It's getting dark, do you still want to go to the General's Mansion today? If you want to go, I'll tell you
Just a word, I won’t disturb your official duties. If you don’t want to go, we’ll go have a drink first.”
Zhao Tong looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so I won't go to the General's Mansion today. But I don't have time to drink. I have to go home and see my mother first."
"I'll accompany you." Zhang Shao said with a smile: "I haven't seen my aunt for a while. I hope she won't blame me."
Zhao Tong looked at Zhang Shao and said nothing more. He knew that Zhang Shao must be doing something wrong. He walked towards his horse, but was stopped by Zhang Shao. Zhang Shao waved, and a guard led over a horse with a neat saddle and bridle.
Zhang Shao took the reins of the tall and strong war horse and put it into Zhao Tong's hand: "Come here. This is my gift to you, brother. I wish you good luck with your advancement. I also hope that Brother Bo Ren won't think I'm being unworthy."
Although Zhao Tong was kind-hearted, he was a warrior after all, and his love for war horses came from the bottom of his heart. As soon as he saw this sleek, long-limbed war horse, he immediately fell in love with it. He couldn't put it down and touched the horse's neck: "
How dare I accept such a heavy gift?"
"If you don't dare to be a hero, who dares to be a hero?" Zhang Shao saw the satisfaction in Zhao Tong's eyes. Although he felt a little hurt, he said with a heroic face: "BMW gifts heroes, and only a hero like Brother Bo Ren can be worthy of such a gift."
It's a good horse. If you follow me, you can only stay in the stable and grow its steed."
Zhao Tong really liked it, but did not accept it. He returned the reins to Zhang Shao with his backhand. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Forget it, I will be like you in the future. I will work in Chengdu and will not have the chance to go to the battlefield. You should keep it.
Give it to someone you are destined to have in the future."
Zhang Shao did not force himself. He and Zhao Tong got on the horse and walked towards the Zhao Mansion. The guards led the horse and followed behind.
The Zhao family is outside the city, less than half an hour away from Chengdu. When we arrived outside, it was already dark. The door of the Zhao family was wide open, and the front door was cleaned cleanly. Two rows of spearmen stood with their chests puffed out.
At the door, there was a queue to greet them.
Zhao Tong got off his horse and entered the door side by side with Zhang Shao. He heard a horse neighing. He was stunned for a moment and looked back at the door. The good horse was still standing outside the door and did not neigh at all. At this time
, another horse neighed, and Zhao Tong noticed that it was coming from Dongkuayuan.
His face suddenly darkened.
"Husband, husband, come and see." Sun Luban rushed out, ignoring Zhang Shao, pulling Zhao Tong and running across the courtyard to the east. As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Tong saw a horse that was as red as rouge.
Gao War Horse.
A breathtakingly beautiful horse.
Zhao Tongyi understood it all at once. He looked at Sun Luban's eyes that were shining with excitement, then at Zhang Shao who was smiling, and pointed at Zhang Shao: "Jixian, you little Zhuzi dare to play tricks on me?
"
Seeing what Zhao Tong said, Zhang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, caught up two steps, held up his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Bo Ren, look at what you said, it's nothing, it's just a horse. The princess is a hero among women.
Not only did he personally fight in the battle, but he also captured Sima Zhao, the son of Sima Yi, alive. This illustrious military exploit has been spread throughout Chengdu. Who doesn’t know about it? If such a heroine doesn’t have a good horse to ride on, wouldn’t it make me look stingy? So,
I took it upon myself to give this good horse given by the queen to the princess. In the whole world, I think this is the only horse worthy of the princess' status."
Zhang Shao's words made Sun Luban's eyebrows dance with excitement and his face turned crimson. Zhao Tong sneered twice and waved his hand: "Follow me and explain the matter clearly first. Princess, put your horse aside for now. This gift is too heavy.
We're afraid we can't afford it."
"Ah?" Sun Luban suddenly pursed his lips and drooped his face. She looked at the horse reluctantly, wrapped the reins around her hand, pulled, and couldn't bear to let go. Zhang Shao followed Zhao Tong and took two steps.
Suddenly he stopped and trotted up to Sun Luban, cupping his hands and saying, "Princess, do you know the opposite step?"
"What's the opposite step?" Sun Luban said sadly.
"You will know when you ride this horse." Zhang Shao said with a smile: "This horse is the legendary Dawan Pegasus. It is famous all over the world for its side steps. It is an enjoyment incomparable to anything else."
Zhao Tong's face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Jixian!"
Zhang Shao said with saliva on his face: "It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, but wouldn't it be a pity to let the Dawan Pegasus pass in front of the princess without letting her experience the world-famous opposite step."
Seeing Zhang Shao speaking so mysteriously, Sun Luban felt itchy in his heart and looked at Zhao Tong pitifully. Zhao Tong softened his heart and gave in: "I can only take it for a test ride, but I can't accept it. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Sun Luban responded repeatedly, got on his horse, and galloped along the long and narrow passage. Before taking two steps, she shouted loudly: "Ah, it turns out this is the right person."
Zhao Tong glared at Zhang Shao with some regret, gritted his teeth, and turned around to leave. Zhang Shao quickly followed. They walked all the way to the atrium, entered the hall, and took their seats respectively. Before Zhang Shao could sit firmly, Zhao Tong
He said angrily: "Tell me, you have done such a big game today, what do you need my help with?"
"What else can happen?" Zhang Shao put away his flattering smile and said with a wry smile: "It's not my sister's business."
"This matter..." As soon as Zhao Tong spoke, Zhang Shao left the table and fell to the ground. "Brother Bo Ren, I know that you can't make the decision in this matter. I don't dare to hope so. I just want to ask Brother Bo Ren to tell you."
Let me tell you, does General Zhennan want to go to the dark side with the general?"
Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything." Zhang Shaozhao raised his head and followed Ma Su's instructions and said in one breath: "If General Zhennan is determined to support the general, then the general will be invincible. It is useless for me to beg anyone. I can only accept my fate. If
General Zhennan still has reservations, my Zhang family can still be of some use, I hope General Zhennan will consider it."
Zhao Tong was silent. If Zhang Shao tried to test him, he could still evade it. Zhang Shao spoke so directly, but it was difficult for him to accept. He knew that Wei Ba had ideas and could not confide in Li Yan.
If Li Yan sends his daughter to the palace and truly controls the emperor, it will definitely not be an ideal result for Wei Ba. Helping the Zhang family will make Li Yan not so proud, and at the same time have an extra helper, which is the best of both worlds.
thing.
"Is this the reason why you've come around in such a big circle?"
"This matter may be just a piece of cake for you, but for me, the Zhang family, it is the difference between life and death." Zhang Shao sighed: "To tell you the truth, the Prime Minister didn't give a clear opinion, and I really can't do anything about it.
Yes. I also know that without the support of the Prime Minister, the Zhang family is nothing. If the Prime Minister gives up on us, we can only find another reliable ally. After thinking about it, besides General Zhennan, I only have General Ren.
It’s a result of slaughtering.”
Zhao Tong suddenly laughed: "Then you shouldn't ask me, you should ask your sister. She stays with General Zhennan every day, doesn't she know General Zhennan's attitude better than I do?"
"I know." Zhang Shao said honestly: "But Jiaozhou is far away. It will take at least a month to come and go. If I can get the news from Brother Bo Ren first, I can sleep peacefully for a few more days, right? Besides,
Well, it’s not just General Zhennan who can influence the general’s decision. I also hope that Mrs. Sun can help. After all...she and His Majesty are like mother and son..."
Zhao Tong suddenly realized, he grabbed Zhang Shao's shoulder, laughed and scolded: "No wonder you want to give such a good horse to the princess. Shuzi, tell me, who came up with this idea for you? I don't know what you are capable of."
I know you can't do such a big thing."
"It's Da Si Nong Ma Su." Zhang Shao didn't dare to pretend to be in front of Zhao Tong, so he said one thing. "It was him who pointed me out, so I dared to come to ask for help from Mr. Bo. To be honest, until now, I thought he was teasing me.
Playing."
Hearing the word "Ma Di", Zhao Tong understood everything. He knew everything about what happened between Ma Di and Wei Ba.
"In that case, I would be disrespectful." Zhao Tong glanced at Zhang Shao hatefully: "Don't feel bad."
When Zhang Shaoru received the amnesty, he said repeatedly: "I don't feel bad, I don't feel bad. Brother Boren, you are a great benefactor of my Zhang family."
"Don't speak too soon. I can only help you pass on a message. I can't decide what the outcome will be."
"Hehehehe, who doesn't know that General Zhennan regards you as his own brother?" Zhang Shao stood up, twisted his neck and shook his arms, feeling relieved and happy.
