Chapter 516

"Zhang Zhonglang, this is a letter from Jia Wuyuan (Jia Xu)."

Xu Shu won the favor of Zhang Xiu with his martial arts, and then brought Xi Zhicai to Zhang Ji's mansion through Zhang Xiu.

One day, when Zhang Ji was inspecting Zhang's embroidery skills in the mansion, Xu Shu was ordered to hand over a letter from Jia Xu to Zhang Ji. people peep.

Zhang Ji's face became serious, he waved his hand and said, "Back off."

Zhang Ji, a native of Wuwei Zuli, Jia Xu, a native of Wuwei Guzang.

When they were both under Dong Zhuo's command, the two had a lot of contacts because of their fellowship. Jia Xu was appreciated by Li Ru, so Zhang Ji even gave Jia Xu a gift. Later, Jia Xu was tied up by Guan Yu and sent to the Lucheng Army.

Afterwards, he was still a school lieutenant, but Jia Xu has been promoted all the way. First, he worked for Liu Bei, then he served as a general to protect the Huns, and now he is the prefect of Wuyuan.It's just that he's still going back and forth between General Zhonglang and Captain, and now he's even more in danger of death.

Zhang Ji hesitated holding Jia Xu's letter, because he knew that Jia Xu's letter must be to persuade him to surrender. Should he surrender?

"Uncle, what are you thinking?"

Zhang Xiu didn't know at all that Xu Shu handed the persuading letter to Zhang Ji himself.

Zhang Ji had no children under his command, plus his elder brother died early, and he only had one younger sister under his command. This kid grew up under his sister's independent care, so he loved him very much. In addition, Zhang Xiu was outstanding in martial arts, and won The reputation of being a spear king in the north clearly regarded Zhang Xiu as his heir.

"Hmph! Didn't you cause trouble?"

Zhang Xiu was able to freely enter and leave Zhang Ji's study, and Zhang Ji reprimanded him like a disciple.

"What's wrong with X?"

Think about it, Zhang Xiu hasn't gone out to cause trouble recently!He didn't even step on Li Jue's nephews and nephews. Zhang Xiu would step on them whenever he got angry. Anyway, they couldn't beat Zhang Xiu, and Li Jue didn't care about the grievances of his nephews.

Zhang Ji glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, then opened Jia Xu's letter and said, "You did a good job, a letter from Jia Wenhe."

"Jia Wenhe?"

Zhang Xiu was about the same age as Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Mu, so Zhang Ji sent him to study military strategy for a few days.

Martial arts depend on talent, while strategy and military skills depend on human teaching. In addition to Jia Xu's reputation in Liangzhou, unless Zhang Ji was not a soldier like Zhang Xiu, how could he not be allowed to learn from Jia Xu?

When he first heard about Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu was startled and asked: "Mr. Wenhe? Isn't Mr. Wuyuan the prefect? ​​Wuyuan is not close to Chang'an, and the roads are blocked by the flames of war. How could his letter be sent?" Come to Chang'an?"

Faced with Zhang Xiu's series of questions, Zhang Ji didn't say a word, but just looked at the letter and frowned.

Zhang Xiu had never seen his uncle so cautious, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what did you say in the letter?"

Zhang Ji handed it to Zhang Xiu: "Look for yourself!"

Zhang Xiu received the letter with ten lines at a glance, and the beginning of the letter was a face-to-face greeting, and then he mentioned Liu Bei's thirst for talents, and hoped that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew would choose carefully.

"Uncle, what do you mean sir? Do you want us to surrender to Liu Bei? But why didn't he say what conditions Liu Bei made?"

Zhang Xiu looked at the letter and wondered.

Zhang Ji looked at the ignorant Zhang Xiu, and said, "What conditions do you think Liu Bei should offer?"

Zhang Xiu said with a serious face: "Uncle is now a general of Zhonglang, so why should he become a general when he comes to Liu Bei? Uncle has [-] cavalry under his command. Not only can Liu Bei not reduce it, but he has to provide a full set of equipment and food. In this case, uncle It can still be considered."

Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu, who was a little simple-minded, and was really worried for him, and at the same time made a decision in his heart: "Go and call that Xu Shu, Xu Shu?"

Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu and nodded, and said again: "Call him here, and see how Liu Bei's conditions are?"

Zhang Xiu was a little dumbfounded: "Uncle, is he from Liu Bei? So, go and arrest him now."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and left to arrest Xu Shu, because he suddenly remembered that he had led Xu Shu to see the entire city defense and grain depot in Chang'an, if he ran away, it would be fine.

"stop."

Zhang Ji shouted loudly, seeing Zhang Xiu's frizzy appearance, he strengthened his mind, otherwise what would Zhang Xiu do when he really died in battle in Chang'an?Zhang Xiu has not yet married a wife, so wouldn't the ancestral Zhang family be extinct?
Zhang Xiu stopped when he heard the words, and looked at Zhang Ji with some confusion, Zhang Ji said helplessly: "Go and invite him, remember to have a good attitude, this is related to the future of our Zhang family."

"Ok?"

Zhang Xiu doesn't understand how Xu Shu's meticulous work is related to the future of the Zhang family. In his mind, Zhang Ji holds [-] Xiliang iron cavalry. Even if he can't compare with Li Jue and Guo Si, he can fool around wherever he goes. eat.

"You're right to listen to my uncle, let's go!"

"Here!"

Zhang Xiu left with some doubts, but Zhang Ji shook his head.

When Zhang Xiu went to invite Xu Shu, his temper was not good. Anyone who knew that his confidant was someone else's spy would be in a bad mood, but thinking of Zhang Ji's words, Zhang Xiu still held back and said: "Xu Yuanzhi, my uncle is here to invite you. "

"Lieutenant Zhang, a certain gentleman will go with him later."

Xu Shu didn't mind Zhang Xiu's bad attitude at all, so he asked Xi Zhi who was dressed as his servant to tell Zhang Xiu.

"gentlemen?"

Zhang Xiu was a little unhappy: "My uncle only wants to see you alone."

Xu Shu said: "It's useless to see someone, sir is Liu Hou's special envoy."

Liu Hou?

Zhang Xiu was a little harsh when he heard this title. It was Liu Bei who made him taste the taste of failure for the first time, and it was Liu Bei who let him know how vulnerable his personal bravery is in front of the army.

Zhang Xiu said angrily: "You can only go alone."

Xu Shu smiled: "How about, Captain Zhang go ask Zhang Zhonglang for instructions."

"you?"

Zhang Xiu choked, thinking of his uncle's words, he finally said: "Okay! Let him come too!"

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Xu Shu respectfully asked Xi Zhi to go first, first to look at the long-lost sunshine and jokingly said to Xu Shu: "Is Zhang Xiu still very sunny?"

Xu Shu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing the order in which Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai came in, Zhang Ji suddenly understood that Xi Zhicai was Liu Bei's emissary, and Xu Shu was just a matchmaker.

Feeling that he might be an important figure under Liu Bei's command, Zhang Ji didn't dare to neglect him any longer, so he stood up from his seat and asked, "I don't know what your name is, sir?"

"Zhang Zhonglang, you're being polite, I'm playing Zhicai in Yingchuan."

Zhang Ji was in charge of Chang'an city defense and curfew. Naturally, he heard that Li Ru had been imprisoned by a man named Xi Zhicai, which caused Dong Zhuo to be easily beheaded by Lu Bu.

"Mr. Jiuwen's name, sir, please sit down."

"Zhang Zhonglang's famous name is often heard from the lord."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Zhang Ji's heart moved: Does Liu Bei really know himself?Then he asked, "Oh! I don't know what Liu Hou said about XX?"

"It is said that Zhang Zhonglang is the only one in the Xiliang army who knows the righteousness, understands the facts, and knows how to advance and retreat."

Know the righteousness, what is the righteousness?Of course, it is to set things right and save the Han Dynasty from danger.

Awareness of reason, what is reason?It is to be able to distinguish right from wrong.

Ming advances and retreats, where to advance and retreat?Naturally, it follows the direction of the general trend.

Xi Zhicai was persuading Zhang Ji to cooperate with Liu Bei, but Zhang Ji also had this intention, but he still probed: "I don't know what Liu Hou wants to do?"

Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and said: "The people in Chang'an are suffering from the Qiang Hu and the war. Liu Hou hopes that Zhang Zhonglang can save Chang'an from the war when Liu Hou's army arrives."

Xi Zhicai's words surprised Zhang Ji, originally he thought Liu Bei wanted him to stab Li Jue and Guo Si in the back?I didn't expect to just ask him to surrender, which is too cheap for him!But it's too easy, how to gain a foothold under Liu Bei's command?Zhang Ji decided in his heart to do a big thing for Zhang Xiu's future.

There is another watch at eight or nine o'clock.
