On this day, Xiao Jiang just came back from training the team. His father blocked him in front of the door and shouted. Xiao Jiang was stunned. His father was a calm person. Even if the world was in chaos, he did not panic. Now he is in a hurry
It seems something serious has happened.
Xiao Jiang stepped forward to support his panicked father and asked:
"Why is dad so nervous?"
Father Xiao said:
"Thief Dong borrowed the emperor's edict and sent an edict to Xuzhou, saying that the former general had recommended Fu Sheng before, and now he wants to recruit you to go to Chang'an to receive the title.
If you go there and the traitor Dong controls the government and holds the emperor hostage, you will have a narrow escape from death.
But if you don't go, Dong Zhuo can just say that you don't serve the emperor, and then he can treat you and the entire Xiao family as traitors. Although Taozhou Mu can't listen to what he does to us, there will always be people who will use this as an excuse in the future.
Against us."
"oh……"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang nodded lightly and said with a smile:
"Father, there is no need to worry. It doesn't matter if I just go to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo or Lu Bu is not that capable of killing me.
Dong Zhuo wants me to go to Chang'an because he is worried that the coalition will be formed. At that time, Lu Bu will be restrained by me and ask me to go to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo will never kill me in order to avoid the emperor's order being ignored in the future. He will even give me a lot of benefits, but
I will be put under house arrest in Chang'an.
Father, I have made a training plan for the army during this period, and I have also prepared a lot of money at home. After I leave, you try to recruit refugees as much as possible. In addition to recruiting troops, buying horses, and hoarding military supplies and weapons, various gates must also be repaired. In the future, this will be the land of the Four Wars.
, take precautions and avoid any conflicts with Tao Qian and others."
Father Xiao nodded. Since Xiao Jiang's head was smashed and opened his mind, Father Xiao was naturally very happy. He looked at Xiao Jiang who was full of confidence and nodded and said:
"The ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, when choosing a leader, do not choose someone who can only share the hardships but not the joys. Don't cut off your own path when making suggestions, otherwise you will end up harming yourself. You must be careful when you go. If you are in danger, you don't need to care about being loyal to the emperor.
Understand?"
Xiao Jiang nodded, handed the general's lieutenant talisman to his father, informed the army lieutenant colonel that he was going to Chang'an, made various arrangements, and Xiao Jiang took ten personal guards to Xuzhou.
…
Xiao Jiang was summoned by Tao Qian at the Prefectural Mufu Government Office. When he entered the hall, Xiao Jiang saw Tao Qian who was in good spirits and quickly saluted:...
"The last general, Xiao Jiang, has met Mr. Zhou Mu."
Tao Qian was considered a virtuous person in the late Han Dynasty, but to reach his status, Xiao Jiang would not believe everything on the surface, otherwise he would not have let his father increase Langya's internal military strength to prevent problems before they occur.
Xiao Jiang is still the captain of the Xuzhou Infantry Army. He must come to visit Tao Qian before setting off. Looking at Xiao Jiang, who is dressed in a military uniform with some elegance, Tao Qian nodded and said with a smile:
"Captain Xiao, Dong Zhuo is in power. The emperor has ordered you to go to Chang'an. I cannot refuse. If you don't go, I can protect you. All choices are yours."
Xiao Jiang shook his head and smiled:
"If I don't tell the truth, they won't dare to attack me easily. At worst, I will be trapped in Chang'an. Lord Zhou Mu, rest assured that Fu Sheng will not be used by Dong's thieves. If necessary, Fu Sheng will make his own choice."
Tao Qian nodded and said:
"That's very good. Since you killed Hua Xiong and fought against Lu Bu, everyone in the world has called you and Lu Bu the gods of war. Some people even say that you are more powerful than Lu Bu, so Dong Zhuo wants to trap you. Although this trip does not seem to be very dangerous,
But you need to handle it carefully."
Xiao Jiang was receiving instruction on his forehead, and while he was talking about something, a civil servant came in, saluted Tao Qian and said:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Du Heng from Xiapi has arrived."
Tao Qian smiled and said:
"welcome."
After the officials left, Tao Qian said with a smile:
"The Du family is running a private salt business. I have turned a blind eye these years to provide convenience to the people of Xuzhou. Lieutenant Xiao, I heard that you have never married a wife and taken concubines. The Du family has a daughter who is already 28 years old.
If you are old enough, why don't I ask you to be my concubine and accompany you to Chang'an? I can also give you something to do in your free time."
Xiao Jiang was stunned. At his age, he was really an old bachelor in the late Han Dynasty. He was fooling around at home before, and his father planned to find a wife for him to take care of him. Who knew that he was merged in this world, and his father
I didn’t mention this matter for the time being.
During this period of time, he had seduced two beauties in his golden house, and his father also expected him to have two grandsons. However, the Lingyue sisters were only his maids, not wives and concubines.
Tao Qian suddenly mentioned that he should take a concubine first. This was something that did not require the consent of his parents. He thought about it in surprise and said:
"Lord Zhou Mu, my trip is very dangerous. If I take in Miss Du's family, I will lead her into a pit of fire. Xiao Jiang doesn't want to harm others."
"What if I want to."
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the door of the hall. Xiao Jiang turned around and saw a businessman and a girl appeared in sight. Xiao Jiang was startled. He vaguely guessed that they did not appear by chance, and Tao Qian did not do this casually.
explain.
"this……"
Xiao Jiang looked at Tao Qian, who laughed and said:
"Captain Xiao is famous all over the world, and many wealthy families want to marry you. If I didn't have a daughter, I would also want to marry you.
Du Gong and I have an old relationship, and when he learned that you were about to go to Chang'an, he decided to take your daughter as his concubine, which can be regarded as entering your family. I wonder if the Du Lieutenant has a crush on the Du family's daughter."
Xiao Jiang looked back at the girl. He was surprised that there were so many beauties in the late Han Dynasty. Just like so many generals and counselors, they were mass-produced top-notch products, which made people feel like they should be so ordinary.
"Duke Du, Miss, Xiao Jiang is going to enter Chang'an. Not to mention the bumpy journey, he also has to deal with the Dong thieves and those officials when entering Chang'an. One wrong step will lead to an abyss. If Miss follows me, it will be extremely dangerous.
"
Miss Du didn't show much. Even if a sixteen-year-old girl knows a lot, she still has no insight. Du Heng is from an old society. He said with a smile:
"With General Xiao's reputation, he is naturally not afraid, otherwise you wouldn't go to Chang'an.
The little girl's belongings and belongings have been prepared. As long as the general agrees, she can be taken away. If the general agrees, her life and death will naturally be arranged by the general."
Xiao Jiang looked at Miss Du, who was young but acted very calmly, as if everyone was not talking about her, and maybe she was the kind of person who accepted her fate.
Xiao Jiang didn't care whether he took a concubine or not, but he really didn't want to put innocent people into danger. He looked at Miss Du and said:
"Miss Du, do you have any ideas?"
Miss Du looked at Xiao Jiang with big eyes and said:
"I heard that the general has unparalleled power. I am extremely lucky to be able to serve the general. There is no need to consider anything else."
Is it really that simple? Xiao Jiang looked at Miss Du's eyes that were like autumn water, calm, wise, and a little aloof. Is this a simple little girl?
