Chapter 267? Homecoming
The current Jingzhao Yin is Chen Geng, who is Dong Zhuo's confidant and a civil servant from Yixu of Liangzhou. Zhang Xiu doesn't know much about being a human being, but from the perspective of Chen Geng giving him a house, the beauty said that he is a good official.
But Zhang Xiu's inquiry probably had a deep meaning. And the words behind his back were not Shi Guangyuan's style. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's stable."
Zhang Xiu was happy and said, "Isn't it better if you just say he is ordinary?"
Shi Guangyuan didn't say anything when he heard this, so he couldn't say that.
After a while, Zhang Xiu curled the smile on his face. He should kneel down to sit cross-legged, leaned his right hand against the handrail, and said, "Don't just care about the things in your county. After a while, I'll let you be Jingzhao Yin."
After saying this, Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed and said, "There are currently nine counties in the court, Lueyang County and Nanyang County. The strength of Nanyang County cannot be underestimated, but the most important one is Chang'an and Luoyang. Chang'an is the core of the four counties in the West (Sanfu, Lueyang County), and Luoyang is the core of the four counties in the East (Hedong, Henoi, Henan, Nanyang). Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin also became the key. In the future, the court attacked Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest and captured Bashu in the south. Chang'an was all material transfer centers, which were the rear. Do you understand?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu glanced at Shi Guangyuan meaningfully.
How could Shi Guangyuan not understand???? He understood a lot. He immediately realized that Zhang Xiu might be going to attack Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, his heart was filled with joy. Their civil and military strategists had long been looking forward to Zhang Xiu taking action and driving Dong Zhuo down.
But he understood the importance of Jingzhao Yin. He showed hesitation and became unconfident when he heard this. He bowed his hand and said to Zhang Xiu: "Ming Gong is very kind, but Guangyuan never forgets it. However, Guangyuan is a little talented and knowledgeable, so it is difficult to take on a great task."
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "I said you can do it. Since the beginning of the opera, I have never missed anyone. You must be a famous minister who has left his name in history in the future. I don't worry if I entrust Jingzhao Yin to you."
Zhang Xiu's words were like a heart-boosting needle, and Shi Guangyuan's morale was suddenly boosted. He swept away the disconfidence just now, and a rosy light appeared on his face, and he bowed and said with a loud bang: "No."
Isn’t that? The Grand Sima looks so accurate. He raises his energy and brings his energy.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu sent Shi Guangyuan away.
After that, nothing happened. Shi Guangyuan was the only one important in Chang'an City. As for the other important official positions, we will talk about it when Dong Zhuo dies.
Once Dong Zhuo died, Zhang Xiu would install his confidant gangs from the court's key departments.
Hey.
He had nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Zhang Xiu led a large army toward the Wei River under the respectful sent by officials of Jingzhao Yin.
After crossing the Wei River, we arrived in Fufeng County.
Zhang Xiu decided to stay in Huaili City for a day.
There is nothing else, just returning home in glory.
This time, Ma Teng and Han Sui gathered their troops and planned to attack Xiaoguan. This was just a groundless matter for [The Wolf is Coming].
Marines do not require speed.
Men like to return home in glory.
When Xiang Yu captured Guanzhong, someone persuaded Xiang Yu to establish his capital. Xiang Yu said, "We are rich and noble but not returning home, like walking in the night with embroidered clothes, who knows it!"
Because of his short-sightedness, Xiang Yu was eventually taken away by Liu Bang and then lost the world. He was teased for thousands of years.
But this is a common problem among Chinese people, not just Xiang Yu's problem.
After Liu Bang became famous, he returned to his hometown Fengxian County and sang a song of wind in front of his elders.
Although Liu Bang was old and almost died at that time, how energetic and glorious?
I am a pavilion chief, and now I am back as the emperor.
Zhang Xiu's hometown is in Liangzhou, but his memory is already very far away. He grew up in Fufeng County, outside Huaili City. He still remembers that when he just traveled through time, Gu Pan shot the tiger and accepted the general Pang De.
Later, he also killed Gongcao, Maolin Hero and others in the county.
At that time, he was just a vain, relying on the power of his uncle Zhang Ji and Dong Zhuo to be a blessing. Now he is already an official and appointed as the Supreme Duke of the court, the Grand Marshal, the General of the Cavalry, the Farewell Lord, and the Marquis of Luyang.
It can be said to be returning home in glory.
On the morning of that day, the army arrived outside Huaili City. The Fufeng County Magistrate led all the officials in the city, as well as famous scholars Su Lao, to welcome him.
Zhang Xiu ordered the army to set up camp outside the city, and led Dian Wei and others to lead hundreds of personal soldiers to the city gate.
"Meet the Grand Sima." Fufeng County Magistrate led everyone and bowed to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, helped the Fufeng County Magistrate up, and then looked around everyone, including the natural faces and familiar faces.
For example, this Fufeng County Magistrate is no longer the county Magistrate of that year.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Although I am from Liangzhou, I grew up in Huaili City. Today, the army went on a war, and the army was here. I was a meeting of the elders and had a banquet and had fun. Can you enjoy the glory?"
Everyone, including the magistrate of Fufeng County, showed glory. He bowed his subordinates and responded with a loud voice: "I dare not obey orders."
"Hahaha." Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, then waved his hand and ordered everyone to enter the city together. Then Zhang Xiu met with the elders in the old Zhang family's house.
There were hundreds of participants, and the sound of singing and dancing filled the entire city.
A county is glorious.
Zhang Dasima returned home in glory and was full of energy.
After staying in Huaili City for a day, Zhang Xiu led the horse and infantry army to continue to head northwest, and finally arrived at Xiaoguan on that morning.
The so-called Xiaoguan is a powerful pass that can only be opened by one man and ten thousand men. When Xiaoguan goes west, it is Jieting. The road to send troops from Guanzhong to Liangzhou is the second of them.
Before Emperor Wu of Han, Xiao Pass was an important pass to prevent the invasion of the Huns. After Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the desert and pursue the Huns, they opened up Liangzhou.
The importance of Xiaoguan has decreased a lot. However, now that the world is in chaos, Ma Teng and Han are in chaos in the northwest, Xiaoguan has become the top priority. Before Zhang Xiu, there were always ten thousand people and horses stationed here.
There is a commander guarding the pass, named Dong Xun. He is a member of Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's tribe, and they all look almost the same type. This man named Dong Xun is also full of fleshy faces and a magnificent figure.
Before Xiaoguan closed the gate, Dong Xun led all the officials in the pass and bowed to greet Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu led hundreds of light cavalry including Dian Wei to arrive in the pass first, and then the army entered one after another.
After he and Dong Xun spoke, the two returned to Guan Ling Mansion. As for the defense inside the Guan, they were naturally taken over by Zhang Xiu's troops.
After arriving at the hall, of course, Zhang Xiu took over the main seat, Dian Wei stood on the left side of Zhang Xiu with his sword, and Dong Xun knelt on the side.
"General Dong. When the imperial court heard that Ma Teng was active, Han Sui actively gathered troops and planned to attack Xiaoguan. Why did I find that after I arrived at Xiaoguan, I found that you and the soldiers showed no sign of preparation for war?"
Zhang Xiu took the initiative and asked in a deep voice.
Dong Xun was shocked when he heard this. Although he was a member of Dong Zhuo’s tribe, his status was much lower than that of Zhang Xiu. He dared not not not answer these words.
"Reporting to Gong Ming, I am also puzzled. According to the spy, Ma Teng and Han Sui were all raising their strength and did not mobilize their troops. Why are there rumors in Fufeng County already noisy? The court even sent the Grand Sima to lead troops to Xiaoguan for this reason."
Dong Xun explained with a puzzled look on his face.
When Zhang Xiu heard this, his eyes flashed and said suspiciously: "Spy, I really didn't find anything?"
"It's true." Dong Xun nodded quickly, then patted his chest and jingled, "Ming Gong. Although I, Dong Xun, is not a capable person, I have been fighting with the Prime Minister for more than ten years, and I still know the priorities. If Ma Teng and Han Sui really had any abnormal movements, I would have prepared the city to defend the supplies."
"Well. That seems to be a rumor deliberately spread by Ma Teng and Han Sui. The purpose may be to make the court frequently mobilize people and horses. " Zhang Xiu showed a little smile between his eyebrows, then he restrained himself and said seriously.
"Ming Gong said so much." Dong Xun bowed and replied with a look of "What do you say, what do I believe?"
"But since I have arrived at Xiaoguan, it is impossible for me to do nothing." After a sneer, Zhang Xiu said to the personal soldiers outside the door: "Summon all civil and military personnel to the hall."
"promise."
The personal soldiers responded with a loud promise and went down. Soon after, the civil officials led by Chen Gong and the military generals led by Wu Kuang, and everyone rushed in.
After visiting Zhang Xiu, after meeting Dong Xun, everyone sat down as a martial artist.
Zhang Xiu said to everyone what he had just said to Dong Xun. Then he looked around and said with a shiny look: "Since I have come to Xiaoguan, I cannot return empty-handed. You can tell me any plan you have."
"What the Grand Sima said is very good. How can he return empty-handed when he is on an expedition? The Grand Sima has a magical movement and strong soldiers. He can take this opportunity to explore Liangzhou."
One of the people stood up and bowed to Zhang Xiu, speaking majestic. Zhang Xiu looked closely and saw that it was Ju Su, the adviser under his command.
"Oh. What's your trick?" Zhang Xiu gave Ju Shu an encouraging expression and said.
Ju Su was immediately excited when he saw this. Since they surrendered to Zhang Xiu, they did not do much.
Zhang Xiu's shogunate had many elites, and the people under management were just tens of thousands of soldiers. Jia Xu was more than enough to be alone.
Now that the troops are on the battlefield, they are eager to show themselves.
Ju Su breathed out and said in a deep voice: "Ma Teng and Han Sui's army are strong. However, Liangzhou has a vast land and sparse population, with very few people."
"In the Central Plains, in other places, the people's young and strong can help defend the city. Without the people, it means insufficient momentum."
"And it will be extremely difficult to transfer materials if there are few people. Although Ma Teng and Han Sui ruled many cities, they all fought for their own battles."
"From Xiaoguan east there is Jieting, and from Jieting south there is Lieliu City. The garrison is Guo Si. Xiaoguan detours northeast there is Anding County. The garrison of Anding County is Yang Qiu."
"These two are Ma Teng's followers. Ming Gong can launch a large army first and attack these two will not only expand our power, but also weaken Ma Teng."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu nodded slightly. Then he asked, "So according to the judging of Mr. Yang Qiu and Guo Si, who will come first and who will come?"
With the tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is difficult to divide his troops to attack the two of them at the same time.
