"Is something good happened?" Zhang Xiu was good at observing his expression and asked with a smile.

"Ming Gong Ming Jian. Not long ago, General Xu Huang sent someone to drive to report that it was the envoy of Zhang Yan of Heishan who was already on the road." Shi Guangyuan smiled and bowed.

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, and then he asked, "How is the situation in Hebei now?"

"Yuan Shao has already annexed Gongsun Zan and has Youzhou. At present, Yuan Shao has sent his nephew Gao Gan as the governor of Bingzhou, and the counties of Bingzhou respond to Yuan Shao." Shi Guangyuan's expression became serious again when he said this.

Zhang Xiu nodded.

The world is in a major trend. If you divide it for a long time, you will be separated for a long time.

As Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the emperor was abolished and the princes raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo. This is [The Han Dynasty lost its deer and the heroes chased it].

Once the troubled times begin, the demons will dance.

His goal was to annex the old territory of Qin and form a powerful Qin force.

Yuan Shao was in Hebei, Cao Cao was in the Central Plains, and Sun Jian was in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. He each swallowed small fish and completed his own development.

If you are not careful, the world may become the [Warring States Period].

Yuan Shao, Hebei, has also taken an important step, annihilated Gongsun Zan, and has broadly included Youzhou and Jizhou, and has begun to participate in Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao has a huge advantage in this regard. He does not have to conquer cities and cities, and talents can automatically submit to him.

Zhang Yan of Heishan is located on the Taihang Mountain between Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. Although the terrain of the mountains and forests is complex and is also known as the [Million Heishan], its strength is actually weak.

He often robbed cities near the Taihang Mountains and obtained food and supplies. As Yuan Shao's strength further strengthened, his defense strength also increased. His survival became increasingly difficult.

Last time, Zhang Xiu sent Zhuge Jin to contact Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan also contributed some war horses to the court, and the relationship between the two sides was OK.

Zhang Xiu guessed that Zhang Yan must have asked the court for his request this time to send envoys to the south.

The general trend of the world is very interesting. There are big fish that eat small fish, but small fish will also struggle.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, understanding what to do.

Zhang Xiu was exhausted along the way and was very tired. After saying something to Shi Guangyuan, he went to the bedroom to rest.

It’s different when coming to Chang'an this time. There are many beautiful concubines waiting for him to come here.

The beautiful concubines are looking forward to it too.

Zhang Xiu had been holding it in for a long time. Although he was a little tired, he was very excited. He ordered two beautiful concubines and asked them twice before he hugged Meixian's delicate body and fell asleep.

The news was conveyed by the cavalry and whip it, and Zhang Yan's envoy came in a normal car. When Zhang Yan's envoy came to Chang'an, it was already three days later.

During this period, there were not much work inside and outside the court. There were also the [prime ministers] in Luoyang who handled daily affairs. Zhang Xiu lived in Chang'an with romance and freedom.

The sun is shining, and the white clouds are like rice candies, and they can't help but feel appetite.

Zhang Xiu was wearing a thin silk single dress and knelt on the main seat with a calm expression. Shi Guangyuan sat on the side, with a calm expression.

A moment later, Dian Wei led a literati in.

Dian Wei clasped his fists at Zhang Xiu, then came to Zhang Xiu and stood by the sword, staring at the literati.

"Zhang You, a native of Longxi County, has met the Grand Sima Minggong." The literati looked respectful and did not dare to look at Zhang Xiu more, and bowed deeply.

Zhang Xiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is not a gift, sit down."

"Thank you." Zhang You thanked him, then came to the seat opposite Shi Guangyuan. He bowed and said, "Ming Gong. Yuan Shao called himself [General], and had annexed Hebei, and had a tiger to swallow the world and replace the Han Dynasty. My general served the Han Dynasty and competed with Yuan Shao. However, his soldiers were few and few, and it was unfavorable to fight against Yuan Shao repeatedly. This time the general sent me here in the hope of gaining support from the court."

Speaking of this, Zhang You took out a white cloth from his sleeve, raised it respectfully over his head and said, "This is an item contributed by my general."

Dian Wei walked up naturally, took the white cloth, turned around and handed it to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu looked at it and said that the gift was of course very thick.

There are gems, gold, agate, jade, war horses, and leather. The former is valuables, while the latter is military supplies.

Zhang Yan is still very self-aware and knows that if he doesn't produce any blood, Zhang Xiu will not support him.

After Zhang Xiu finished reading it, he didn't feel much. Not to mention the valuables, he has now merged with Qinzhou and is not short of war horses and leather.

I remember that he had a feud with the Hedong Wei family for leather. Now, leather is no longer valuable.

As for Zhang Yan, although he was born in the Yellow Turban, he sent envoys to surrender to the court and became the General of the Central Army of the Punishment. Therefore, Zhang Youcai called himself [My general, serving the Han Dynasty].

Zhang Xiu was very suspicious of Zhang Yan's determination to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, he supported Zhang Yan's resistance to Yuan Shao. Of course, he did not make things difficult for Mr. Zhang You from Liangzhou. He smiled and looked up and asked, "General Zhang is loyal and brave. I don't know what he needs?"

"Food, weapons, armor." Zhang You was delighted and then said without hesitation.

This was not unexpected to Zhang Xiu, but he did not make any loss. Of course, supporting Zhang Yan requires supporting Zhang Yan, but the value of the items also needs to be equal to the [items] contributed by Zhang Yan.

He doesn't want to be fleece.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu said, "General Zhang is loyal and brave. I should express my conspiracy to the court and confer General Zhang as General Pingnan. Heishan Hou a fief of three thousand households. As for food, weapons, and armor."

Speaking of this, in Zhang You's worried eyes, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "I don't have many of these supplies at present." He pointed at Shi Guangyuan and said, "This is Shi Guangyuan, Jingzhao Yin. He will support General Zhang as appropriate."

After saying that, he gave Dian Wei the list of items in his hand to Shi Guangyuan.

"Thank you, Grand Sima Minggong." Zhang You understood what Zhang Xiu meant, let out a sigh and thanked him.

Shi Guangyuan naturally understood, and after taking a look at the items on the list, he took Zhang You down and supported him as appropriate.

After Shi Guangyuan and the others left, Zhang Xiu thought for a while, then asked Dian Wei Yanmo to write two letters, stamped his own seal, and quickly sent it to Taishi Ci and Xu Huang.

At present, the mobility forces of the imperial court are all in Chang'an. They are mainly used to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui. Whether after the autumn harvest this year or at the beginning of next spring, the army will inevitably advance to Liangzhou again to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Zhang Xiu was beyond the reach of Hebei. However, Xu Huang and Taishi Ci stationed troops in Hedong and Henoi counties, which bordered the Taihang Mountains.

They can support Zhang Yanyier in military terms at their discretion.

In short, it is [to make enemies for the enemy and to establish cliques for me].
