When Zhang Xiu walked off the carriage, the guards in front of the door sang the name.

"The Grand Sima, General Zhang Hou of the Cavalry arrived."

"The Grand Sima, General Zhang Hou of the Cavalry arrived."

The voice followed the soldiers of the army and extended to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After the singing title was completed, the soldiers in front of the door bent down at Zhang Xiu to show respect.

Zhang Xiu's mouth twitched a little, and Dong Zhuo was still very good at making trouble.

However, with his current status and military achievements, he was calmly accepted.

"Brother." Zhang Xiu saw Hua Xiong riding his horse from afar and saluted first.

"My brother." Hua Xiong had a very good relationship with Zhang Xiu in private. The two were also drinkers with similar tastes. He turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said politely.

"The one who can sing the name in the Prime Minister's Mansion is the virtuous brother." Hua Xiong looked up and smiled and joked.

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Zhang Xiu said with a smile.

"Hehe." Hua Xiong smiled. The two brothers entered the Prime Minister's Mansion together and came to the hall.

At this moment, the hall was filled with civil and military personnel. However, except for Li Ru, the literati were not famous, and all the military generals were in the forefront.

Fan Chou, Li Su, Hu Zhen and others.

Regardless of civil officials and military generals, they bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Ming Gong."

"You guys are kind." Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and bowed back to the court. Then he asked Dian Wei to wait outside, and he separated from Hua Xiong, and the big golden sword came to the position of the general's first position.

Below him is Niu Fu.

Although Niu Fu is not good at leading troops, he has always had a high status because he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.

"General Niu." Zhang Xiu was not familiar with Niu Fu, but he politely politely said to Niu Fu.

Niu Fu glanced at Zhang Xiu, with an inexplicable emotion. But he still had to bow his hands. Zhang Xiu was a human being, and he could probably guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't care.

It is mediocre if he does not attract jealousy. Zhang Xiu is the first-class talent, so there are of course many people who are jealous.

Not long after, with Li Ru's company, Fatty Dong came down to the door of the corridor under Lu Bu's guard. Lu Bu held a Fangtian painting halberd and put on black armor, and stopped outside the door to look at Dian Wei, and Dian Wei also looked at Lu Bu.

Since Zhang Xiu Desheng came back, he has not gone to drink with Lu Bu much. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have already obtained it, and the brotherhood of Glass is almost the same.

As for people, the relationship will be devastated if you don’t go too much. In addition, Lu Bu is a person with a narrow personality.

Now the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu has begun to become neither salty nor weak.

After Li Ru came in, he came to the first position of the civil minister and sat down, and faced Zhang Xiu. The two of them bowed to each other.

Dong Zhuo came to the main seat with a big golden sword and sat down, raised his eyes and looked around at the civil and military officials under the tent, and nodded with satisfaction.

It is because of these guys that he can take over Luoyang and see the world.

"Well. It's been a long time since I've been so neat. Today I summoned you all, and I discussed it with Li Ru. Hedong and Hanoi are the barriers of Luoyang and cannot be controlled by Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang forever. These two people are all thieves, and there is no need to worry about it. We can send troops to sweep them early."

Dong Zhuo put his fleshy palm on his knees and said to everyone.

As Zhang Xiu defeated Yuan Shao and other coalition forces in the east, killed Yuan Shu in the south, walked away from Cao Cao and Sun Jian in Wancheng, Dong Zhuo has really gained a foothold. Since he has gained a foothold, he naturally needs to expand his power.

It was imminent to conquer Hedong and Hanoi. Everyone had speculations in their hearts, so they were not surprised. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhang Xiu, even Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.

Zhang Xiu was the world's largest general and the imperial court's supreme minister, so he was naturally the first choice.

Zhang Xiu also boasted of this and was about to bow his hands. But he knew that Niu Fu, who was below him, suddenly stood up and bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Lord. Niu Fu is not talented, so he is willing to lead 80,000 horse and infantry troops to rush north, break through the two counties, and kill Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang's head, and present it to the lord."

Before he finished speaking, the audience was shocked. A voice of discussion sounded.

"Lord. General Niu is very brave, but Zhang Yang. Wang Kuang has been in charge of the two counties for many years and his power is deeply rooted. General Niu may be difficult to conquer easily." Li Ru immediately stood up and bowed his hands and said.

"What the sir is saying is. From the last general, let the Grand Marshal Zhang lead the troops to fight. The troops will be sent in October and will be returned at the end of the year. Isn't this ten-perfect victory? " Li Su also bowed and said.

"You two are right, so I will see if you want to let Mr. Zhang go to war." Hua Xiong bowed and said with a bow.

"So many people advise you, you may be a bad thing." Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone and said in his heart. Then he looked at the nose and became concerned.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo originally liked Zhang Xiu to send troops, but seeing how many people under his command supported Zhang Xiu, he couldn't help but suspicious.

He was worried about Zhang Xiu, but he was always afraid that his generals would become iron-clad. If his generals would become iron-clad, wouldn't it be a rebellion?

Now that he has seen with his own eyes, most of the civil and military officials in the tent support Zhang Xiu. How can he not be suspicious?

Niu Fu also knew Dong Zhuo very well. Seeing that Dong Zhuo showed hesitation, he was overjoyed and bowed again and said, "Lord, why use the Niu Knife to kill the chicken? How can the general of the Grand Sima Zhang Gongguo be moved lightly? It is enough to deal with Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang and the two thieves."

Li Ru also realized the problem and began to keep silent. The other generals and civil servants opposed it and wanted to stop Niu Fu from leading his troops to the expedition.

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy and calm. Finally, he said, "I didn't expect this matter to be so noisy. Let me think about it and make a decision. Please step back first."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo stood up and walked towards the door. After meeting with Lu Bu, he followed the corridor and headed to another room.

Li Ru glanced at Niu Fu, then looked at the nose and the heart. Zhang Xiu, who was very calm, couldn't help but shake his head. It was such a sin.

He quickly got up and caught up with Dong Zhuo.

After Li Ru left, Zhang Xiu glanced at Hua Xiong who was about to speak and shook his head gently, then bowed to everyone and left the gate. After meeting with Dian Wei, he left the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and boarded a carriage and headed for the Grand Sima Mansion.

After Zhang Xiu and Li Ru left, the civil and military officials were on the scene and then they also scattered. Li Ru chased Dong Zhuo and came to the house.

Lu Bu stayed outside the door, and Li Ru and Dong Zhuo sat down in their seats.

"Lord." Li Ru just sat down and bowed to Dong Zhuo, but before he could say anything, Dong Zhuo answered quickly.

"Li Ru, I know what you are going to say. But you also saw that in the hall today, most of the civil and military officials helped Zhang Xiu speak. How can I feel at ease? Besides, I thought about it again. If Zhang Xiu goes to the battle, it will definitely be a complete victory. Zhang Yang will definitely be defeated. But if Zhang Xiu wins, how should I reward him?"

"Do you want to give him my position as prime minister?"

Li Ru was speechless. He also understood Dong Zhuo at this moment. Zhang Xiu was not the Zhang Xiu he used to be. Now he has made great achievements. There is no way to be promoted or rewarded.

No matter how loyal Zhang Xiu is, he is a person that the lord fears. If the world is peaceful, Zhang Xiu should consider retiring.

If you fail to retreat, you will inevitably end up with "the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked."

But now the world is in chaos, and Dong Zhuo is afraid of Zhang Xiu and dare not play Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu had not been there, who could resist the princes who rose again?

Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, had already killed them and was defeated. Now Sun Jian has joined the six counties of Jingzhou and is actively preparing for war.

Without Zhang Xiu, who can pat his chest to ensure that he can resist Sun Jian?

Even if it was unreliable to retreat to Chang'an, it would be unreliable. If Sun Jian captured Nanyang County, he could go west and attack Chang'an along Wuguan Road.

When Emperor Gaozu of Han destroyed Qin, he took this path.

With Zhang Xiu, Dong Zhuo's dormitory is in a state of ease.

Without Zhang Xiu, Dong Zhuo would be nothing. It is really difficult to advance or retreat.

Seeing that Li Ru stopped talking, Dong Zhuo said again: "Although Niu Fu is not capable, he is still stable in leading troops. The worst is my son-in-law, who is more credible than Zhang Xiu. If he is asked to lead troops to conquer Henei County and Henan County, he can promote him after winning. He will increase his official position and power, and balance Zhang Xiu."

Li Ru was helpless. Zhang Xiu was so easy to check and balance? It would be better to rely on Niu Fu. But he opened his mouth and did not speak in the end.

Dong Zhuoyue thought the more right he was, and shook his head and shook the fat meat on his face.

"Li Ru, go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to issue an edict to order Niu Fu as the left general, and let him governor Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others lead troops to fight against Wang Kuang in Hanoi and Zhang Yang."

"promise."

Li Ru seemed a little weak, responded to the promise, stood up and walked out of the door, and headed towards the palace.

After Dong Zhuo and Li Ru left, he felt regretful. This made Zhang Xiu lead his troops to fight, but he would definitely win the battle, but if Niu Fu leads his troops to fight, there is a risk of defeat. If he is defeated, what can he do?

Therefore, Dong Zhuo chased out of the door, but stopped in the corridor. It should not be. Niu Fu led his troops to be stable, and Hua Xiong and others were brave and good at fighting.

The 80,000 horse and infantry army had just been rampant under Zhang Xiu's rule, and returned with victory. The morale was high. How could it be defeated by Zhang Yang? Wang Kuang?

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little calm. Standing under the corridor, he couldn't help but see Lu Bu holding a Fang Tian Painted Spear. He couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Lu Bu. If you hadn't gone out of battle, you would be unable to lose three passes, so that Sun Jian could go straight in. How could I have the sorrow of today?"

Lu Bu was furious, but he was also frightened. He quickly lowered his head and shook his head and was scolded.

"Hmph." Dong Zhuo was even more furious when he saw Lu Bu's cowardly appearance, and snorted coldly, leaving with anger.

He was really blind. He thought that Zhang Xiu was the same as Lu Bu, and that Lu Bu could balance Zhang Xiu, but he didn't expect...
