Zhang Xiu immediately stood up. After hearing the other party's answer, he smiled and said to Dian Wei: "Sun Jian will not fight with me, but he will fight with me."

"This is to use his strengths and attack my weaknesses and make plans."

"Please order the troops." Dian Wei only had such a tough sentence.

Of course, Zhang Xiu's fight against generals is a strong point, and it's not bad to cover up the enemy's soldiers. Whether in Liangzhou or against the Bingzhou soldiers of Dingyuan, Zhang Xiu has never lost.

But Zhang Xiu shook his head and smiled this time: "This time, I won't let Sun Jian be happy."

"Since Sun Jian is unwilling to fight the generals, I will not force him. Let him storm the city tomorrow." Zhang Xiu raised his head, laughed at Sun Jian's army, and then he rode back to Luoyang City.

After entering the city, Zhang Xiu threw the big spear to his personal soldiers, and then went up to the city to meet Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Gong. Sun Jian was unwilling to fight against the generals, so he asked you to come with the officials for nothing." Zhang Xiu smiled and bowed.

"What Dalang said? Sun Jian is really a coward. We have seen it, and it has also increased our morale. It is not a waste of time."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo led everyone away from the city and returned to the city.

In fact, in this game, both sides are equally matched.

Sun Jian did not agree to fight the general, but Zhang Xiu did not agree to the five thousand elite soldiers to fight.

But this is very strange.

If life is like a dead end, who has ever seen Zhang Xiu take a step back along the way? If you dare to fight and kill, you will definitely ascend to the forefront first and be invincible.

The officials and officials present were puzzled.

Of course they didn't know that Zhang Xiu had already let Liu Biao and Li Su go south. Zhang Xiu was already sure to win.

If Sun Jian dares to fight against the general, Zhang Xiu has the confidence and chance to stab Sun Jian under the gun.

If you go out of the city to fight, who will lose your troops?

The 10,000 elite soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command have also spent their energy to integrate them, and they have lost in vain to unnecessary confrontation with Sun Jian. Isn't that a pity?

After Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei returned to the General's Mansion of the Cavalry, they unloaded their armor in the front yard and asked Dian Wei to go down to rest. Then they entered the back house to meet Empress Dowager He and Concubine Tang.

"General, you're back." After hearing the news, Empress Dowager He called out Concubine Tang, and the two girls came out to greet each other in gorgeous clothes.

Zhang Xiu's face tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Queen Mother He, stroked her gradually bulging belly, and said, "Be careful, don't hurt the child."

Queen Mother He laughed.

After some warmth, Zhang Xiu asked the aunt who served to boil water, take a shower and change her clothes. This time, she rode her horse back and forth, and she was really exhausted.

It was also the Concubine Tang and the Empress Dowager He personally served Zhang Xiu, and the three of them had an indescribable interest.

After finishing, he felt warm again. Zhang Xiu asked about Empress Dowager He's situation and was very caring. Of course, Concubine Tang next to him had to care about him.

Zhang Xiu has always been generous to people close to him, let alone his own woman.

............

Nanyang County.

It is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, so it is called the "Emperor's Land". It has always been taken care of by the current Han emperor.

During its heyday, there were more than one million households and millions of people in Nanyang County. Of course, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang County was also destroyed.

However, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and Nanyang County is still the first-class county in the world with a rich population.

When Sun Jian went north to attack Dong Zhuo, he first killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and later killed the governor of Nanyang County. At present, the entire Jingzhou is in chaos.

Luyang, where Yuan Shu stationed his troops, was also a big city under Nanyang County. Moreover, Yuan Shu had sent officials to control the counties, but in fact he had already controlled Nanyang County.

After Yuan Shu controlled Nanyang County, he was not idle, and dispatched food and grass in various counties to supply them to Sun Jian and Cao Cao.

While recruiting new recruits, they actively expand their power.

Now Yuan Shu is not as arrogant and domineering as Yuan Shu in history, and is dark and incompetent. He knows that to achieve great things, talents are needed.

So when he was in charge of Nanyang, he repeatedly ordered to seek talented people.

Because Yuan's reputation was the three ministers of four generations, many talents defected to Yuan Shu, and for a time, Yuan Shu's reputation could compete with Yuan Shao.

On that afternoon, Yuan Shu’s mansion in Luyang City was in the study.

Yuan Shu was carefully watching the official document. This official document was a detailed report on gold, silver, copper coins, cloth, grain, population, salt and iron and other materials in Nanyang County.

"Nanyang, the world's number one county, is indeed well-known. I have Nanyang, and compared with my foolish brother, I also have the advantage."

After Yuan Shu saw it, his heart was in full heat. He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and showed a sneer.

He has always been alienated from Yuan Shao. As today's chaos has occurred, Yuan Shao has aspired to steal the country, and of course he is the same. Naturally, he regards Yuan Shao as a competitor.

"Da da da da da."

At this moment, Li Shu, the chief clerk under Yuan Shu, walked in from outside and said happily: "Lord, you're so happy."

"Why are you happy?" Yuan Shu was in a happy mood and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Li Shu is from Runan and is a fellow villager with Yuan Shu. He was handsome and knew Yuan Shu since childhood and was Yuan Shu's confidant.

Yuan Shu also knew that Li Shu was greedy for money and lustful, but he was very kind to Li Shu.

And Li Shu actually has an advantage, he is loyal to Yuan Shu.

"Isn't the lord recruiting soldiers and horses? There is a man named Huang Zhong, a man named Han Sheng, who came to join us. This man can carry a tripod and be good at riding and shooting. He can shoot the middle square hole of the copper coins with a hundred steps away. He is really a general."

Li Shu said happily.

"Is there such a thing?" Yuan Shu stood up in surprise and joy.

"Yes." Li Shu focused his head and was overjoyed.

Yuan Shu thought for a moment and immediately said, "Immediately bring this person to the lieutenant school field in the mansion. I want to see his martial arts in person."

"No." Li Shu responded to the promise and immediately turned around. Not long after, Yuan Shu changed his clothes and came to the porch in front of the school grounds to kneel down.

"Lord, this is Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng."

"Hansheng, this is my lord and the latter general Yuan."

Li Shu stood in the corridor, facing Yuan Shu, and stood beside him a strong man with a square face and a hard facial features as if a knife was cut.

It is Huang Zhong.

"Duke Yuan." Huang Zhong bowed and bowed, his body was like a bear and a tiger, and his voice was like a bell.

"Okay. It's so amazing." Yuan Shu also had a lot of experience. When he saw Huang Zhong, he felt that this person was extraordinary and he couldn't help but feel more and more happy.

After being happy, Yuan Shu calmed down and said to Huang Zhong: "I heard that Han Sheng, you can carry a tripod. There is a big square stone weighing 500 kilograms there. Maybe you can carry it?"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he glanced at the uneven square stone, bowed and said, "Yes." After that, Huang Zhong stuffed his clothes into his belt and came to the huge square stone. He first took a breath of luck, then his waist sank, and grabbed the square stone with both hands.

His breathing was not messy, but a red light appeared on his face. Then he grabbed Fang Shi bit by bit, then suddenly raised it over his head. After a while, he threw Fang Shi away and was done.

Looking at his expression, his breathing was not messy except for the slight redness.

"Okay, what a hero." This ear is weak, but seeing is true. Yuan Shu was still surprised when he saw Huang Zhong showing his power with his own eyes. Then, Yuan Shu asked Huang Zhong to shoot arrows with a big bow and hang a copper coin outside a hundred steps.

Huang Zhong's eyes were like eagle eyes, and he opened his bow and set the arrow. The bow string was shaking, and the arrow shot out like lightning, hitting the copper coins and eyes.

"Okay, okay. What a hero." Yuan Shu smiled again. After thinking for a while, he looked at Huang Zhong with a look of respect for the wise and rude. He said, "Hansheng. You are very talented. I will give you fifty kilograms, three thousand soldiers and horses, and the position of a lieutenant. Are you willing?"

"Thank you lord." Huang Zhong's face was calm and he finally showed a little joy on his face, thanking him.

The Huang Zhong family has been a poor family for generations. They only have peerless martial arts skills, but they never get into it. A man in his thirties or forties is still a white person (no official position).

This time when the princes of the world attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu stationed his troops in Luyang. At first, Huang Zhong didn't care, but later he heard that Sun Jian defeated Lu Bu and entered Luoyang, he was also moved.

He inquired first and learned that the chief clerk Li Shu was Yuan Shu's confidant, so he came to the door to try it, but he didn't expect that he really had a way out.

Not to mention being a lieutenant, he led three thousand troops and was rewarded with fifty gold.

Even if he did not give him a reward, he would be a Sima of another department and lead a thousand soldiers, he was so happy.

Yuan Shu also had the means. After rewarding Huang Zhong, he also said to Li Shu: "The chief clerk. You have made meritorious recommendations and will give you 100 gold. You lead Han Sheng to the treasury and military camp in the city. Select 3,000 troops and allocate military supplies and food."

"Hansheng, I will give you another hundred soldiers to use." Finally, Yuan Shu looked up and said with a kind look at Huang Zhong.

"No." Li Shu replied loudly, looking happy. He has always been greedy for money, and there is already a lot of 100 gold.

"Thank you lord." Huang Zhong also thanked.

On the first day of the first day, Yuan Shu was really a "heroic leader", and Huang Zhong felt that he had defected to him this time.

Afterwards, Li Shu went down with Huang Zhong. Li Shu was very concerned about Huang Zhong's affairs and helped him get things done before dark.

Huang Zhong led 3,000 troops to camp outside the city. Moreover, Huang Zhong's people lived for thirty-four years and were quite eye-catching.

He knew that Li Shu was greedy for money, so he also transferred the fifty gold he had obtained to Li Shu.

This made Li Shu overjoyed and looked at Huang Zhong with admiration. The two made a friend.

After seeing Huang Zhong away, Li Shu returned to the mansion in Luyang City. He first carefully sent the gold he received to the treasury and then ate with a small wine and was about to go to my beloved concubine to slap in my room. A servant walked in outside the door and bowed to report: "Sir, there is a person who claims to be the same clan of the door who is in the same clan to ask for a visit."

"My fellow?"

Li Shu was surprised in his heart. The Li family in Runan was not a high-ranking clan, but also a prominent clan (large population). He could not remember who was whom with a large clan.

Moreover, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Li clans fled in order to avoid the war, and they had been around for many years.

"Please come in." Li Shu sorted out his clothes and said.

"promise."

The servant replied and continued.

In this era, those who attach great importance to fellow villagers, even people in the same province need respect. What's more, those of fellow villagers?
