Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 536 Opportunities and Challenges of General Zhang He
A jar of wine was knocked sideways by a rough hand, the bones of the wine jar swelled, and it fell on the person who fell on the ground a few times.Even when he was drunk, this person showed an excellent reaction, with a slight lift of his elbow, he took off the strength of the wine urn and embraced it in his arms.

However, when he poured the wine urn into his mouth and found that there was no more drop of sweet wine in the wine urn, he let out a very depressed snort, and threw the wine urn aside, allowing the wine urn to fall to pieces.

Yang Xiu stepped into this bedroom, smelling the strong smell of alcohol and the decadent atmosphere mixed with alcohol in the whole room, he felt that all the joy in his body was eroded at this moment, as if there was something in life. Joy and pleasure are a sin.

However, Yang Xiu was Yang Xiu after all, and this scholar who was able to take time to gamble with the soldiers for two rounds during the battle of the army naturally couldn't be completely swallowed by this aura so easily.He walked up to the person who was only a few steps away from the couch, and stared at the person's beard that had not been trimmed for a long time, which was messy and still soaked in wine.After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiu then took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed at the man's chest without hesitation!

But the man who seemed to be drunk to death suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light turned his way in the air. The man had already grabbed the dagger from Yang Xiu's hand and pushed it to Yang Xiu's throat.Yang Xiu was not afraid, but praised: "As expected, he is indeed the leader of the euphorbia warriors, the general of Ningguo Zhonglang under the command of the general of chariots, General Zhang's skills are really extraordinary."

Zhang Yun had already seen Yang Xiu clearly at this time, and he was slightly taken aback and said, "Why are you here again? Also, don't play such boring tricks in the future." The dagger in his hand was loosened and returned to him.Yang Xiu looked nonchalant, and arched his hands: "Thank you. But, I didn't come here to play tricks with you. I really wanted to kill you with the knife just now."

"Why?" Zhang Yun slowly turned over and sat up, somewhat confused by Yang Xiu's meaning: "I have no grievances with you. In the past six months, you have also lent me a lot of military scriptures. I thought we got along pretty well..."

"Just because it's good, that's why I want to kill you." Yang Xiuxin pointed to the messy room, kicked the candlestick casually, and said disgustedly: "Now you are just like this room, full of musty smell And the smell of alcohol. The people I met, Yang Dezu, are all respectable confidantes of the emperor. Rather than rotting slowly like this, you might as well let me kill you."

Zhang Xi didn't speak, but let the gloom in his heart spread to his face.More than a year ago, he was captured by the emperor in Hanoi, and he had already decided to abandon the dark and turn to the bright - in his opinion, this was not a great shame.After all, the orthodoxy of the world is still the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao's perverse behavior has long given him the intention to go.Until Yuan Shao thought of sacrificing in exchange for the life of the emperor, Zhang He no longer had the slightest nostalgia for Yuan Shao.

However, he did not expect that just after he arrived in Chang'an, Yuan Shao had already formed the elite euphorbia soldiers under his command into the 'Tian Cao'.The first attack of Assassin Cao was to destroy the plan of the Jin Yiwei of the Han Dynasty to rescue his family to Chang'an.When Zhang He heard the news of his family's tragic death in Yecheng, he was in pain for a while, and he has been sinking to this day.

"Look at you, as soon as you mention this matter, you look bitter and bitter." Yang Xiu hurriedly interrupted Zhang Xi's self-suffering, found a set of tea sets on the messy table, waved his hand, Have someone bring a pot of hot water.He took out another bag of fried tea from his pocket.After making tea, he and Zhang Xi finally sat down facing each other.

"Tell me the truth, have you been blaming His Majesty for this fault all this year?" Yang Xiu scooped up a spoonful with a copper spoon and poured it into Zhang He's cup.When he asked this sentence, his hands didn't even shake.

But Zhang He suddenly pulled the cup back from under Yang Xiu's copper spoon as if he had been scalded by hot water.This action completely betrayed his fear: "Why did De Zu say that? Your Majesty has treated me with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. It is the heavens who do not pity me, Zhang He, that made me bear the pain of extermination."

"What do you mean, or that His Majesty has caused you to do this?" Yang Xiu took another step, regardless of whether the words were preposterous or not.

Zhang Yun was startled suddenly, stepped back and stood up, looked at Yang Xiu and said, "What are you doing here today?"

Seeing Zhang He's reaction, Yang Xiu smiled instead: "Don't worry, I am not following those all-pervasive Jinyiwei. In fact, His Majesty has ordered that Jinyiwei must never investigate us Hanchens in Chang'an. Even if I want to collude with you Jin Yiwei can only be aware of the general's rebellion." After that, Yang Xiu smiled mysteriously: "I don't tell ordinary people about this kind of thing."

"De Zumo is going to make such a joke." Zhang Yun felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. It seemed that if he had a place to escape, he might have escaped long ago.

"Look at you now. Once you die, you can't let go of the obsession in your heart. If you live on like this, you are still worried. Even if I want to collude with others to make an earth-shattering event, what can I expect from you? ?”

Hearing Yang Xiu say such outrageous words over and over again, Zhang He gradually became sure that Yang Xiu had definitely come alone this time.He slowly sat back in his seat, and seemed to have returned to his previous decadence: "Dezu, what do you want me to do when you come this time?" Before Yang Xiu could speak, Zhang Yun stretched out his hand and blocked Yang Xiu's attack. Nonsense: "Don't say anything stupid about colluding with me to cause chaos. Even if there is no Jin Yiwei, you can't escape His Majesty's eyes. What's more, your Yang family can't betray the Han Dynasty."

"Yo, yes, your mind is still there." Yang Xiu teased Zhang He, and then took a sip of tea nonchalantly: "I came here because I think you have been depressed for a long time, and with my judgment on you, I know You only have one way to go now..."

"What way?"

"Let's go back to the old business." Yang Xiu snapped his fingers and said it as it should be: "You are a good general, and you have lost your relatives. It really takes a while to recover from the pain. However, it has been so long that you start to think wildly and worry. , then naturally you need to go back to the battlefield and fight for a path of wealth and glory that is enviable!"

Yang Xiu couldn't see any expression on Zhang He's drooping face, but Yang Xiu saw that after he said these words, Zhang He was holding the bamboo cup's hand tightly, and his veins bulged, obviously suppressing something.

Yang Xiu didn't know whether it was desire or anger, but at the same time he didn't care, but continued to move forward, and said another seemingly irrelevant sentence to Zhang Yun: "You may not know, I am the last one of the three princes. Zhang Wen, a lord Sikong, submitted his resignation form yesterday. So far, the Dahan and Sangong are completely free."

Of course, this sentence made Zhang Xi puzzled, and because of this, he was able to keep calm and ask, "What does this have to do with you and me?"

"Of course it has something to do with us!" Yang Xiu suddenly became excited, he stood up, paced in the messy bedroom and said, "Your Majesty is very talented, you know that this time the Taiwei forced Sikong to abdicate before his death, obviously for His Majesty's sake." Great plans to clear away obstacles. In the court of the Han Dynasty, most of the Jiuqing had already been reduced to empty positions without real power. The existence of the Sangong became the last barrier to hinder His Majesty. But now, Sikong has abdicated, and His Majesty no longer has any scruples. The reforms planned in the past are eager to try again, the Northwest is in constant turmoil, and the backward advisers and good generals are ready to move..."

Yang Xiu became more and more excited as he talked, and finally walked in front of Zhang Xi, hammered the case several times and said: "This timing is obviously the arrival of a new era in the Han Dynasty. What do you think this means for us? Opportunity, yes, Opportunities and challenges coexist, do you understand His Majesty's words?!"

"I don't understand." Zhang He stared into Yang Xiu's eyes, and stubbornly replied word by word.

Yang Xiu suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and suddenly overturned the case in front of Zhang Xi, his handsome face suddenly became distorted, and he shouted loudly: "Of course you don't understand, you have no guts and no brains, a general who can only general Waste of the rest of his life wasted on wine! Your majesty is so talented, and the corresponding is that there will be more and more capable ministers under him in the future!"

"Even if I, Yang Xiu, have already lost my position in the eyes of the emperor, I am not as good as the newcomer Sima Lang from Hanoi in terms of internal affairs, and Sima Yi, a naive boy, has taken my place. I am the fourth prince of the Yang family , Is it possible that in my generation, I will not fall?!"

"So you came to me and forced me to cheer up, just to get some credit when this new era comes? Even, you want me to invite you to be a general when His Majesty is going west to conquer Han Sui?! "

"Not bad!" The words suddenly sounded in this messy bedroom.It's just that the person who exited was not Yang Xiu, but Liu Xie, the emperor who appeared at the door at some time.

He walked into the room slowly, without any expression on his face, only when he walked in front of Yang Xiu, he asked, "How?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been paralyzed for a long time, and I'm a little decadent. However, the qualities of calmness, wisdom, and determination have not disappeared. After going to the battlefield, everything will recover." Yang Xiu clasped his hands and replied. The passion and paranoia had already returned to a gentle and unruly smile at this moment.

"Well, not bad." Liu Xie nodded, but then made a request to Yang Xiu: "The performance just now was good, but it was too realistic."

Yang Xiu smiled like a flower, bowed his head and said: "I will pay attention to it in the future."

'Pay attention to the fart, you just complained on purpose because you knew I was eavesdropping. Liu Xie shook his head, a lot of troubles and troubles made him worry for a moment.
