Chapter 320 Visit Xiao Qiao
Among the positions of generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the generals had the highest status and were above San Gong; General Hussars, General Chariots, and General Wei were below San Gong, but above Jiu Qing; the front, rear, left, and right generals were in the ranks of Jiu Qing under.

Zhang Wu's current military position is General Zhennan, which is far from General Cheqi, and there are General Four Zheng, General Front, Front, Left, Left, and General Wei in the middle. This is equivalent to a direct promotion to four levels.

This is really finding a good father-in-law, saving ten years of struggle!

Although the Great Han Dynasty had already existed in name only, especially after Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei, people all over the world basically felt that the Great Han Dynasty was about to come to an end, but now he still existed after all, and even Cao Cao admitted that he was a courtier of the Great Han Dynasty.

In any case, Cao Cao's Wei Gong was also appointed by the emperor through normal procedures, so Zhang Wu also needs the emperor's consent if he wants to be promoted.But now everyone knows that the emperor is a puppet, and Cao Cao certainly does not want to make Zhang Wu a chariot general.

Although this chariot general will not add a single soldier to Zhang Wu, nor will he bring him food, grass and money, but it can give him a righteous name, allow him to promote his subordinates, and enhance the sense of honor of his subordinates And a sense of belonging, indirectly enhance Zhang Wu's strength.

What if Cao Cao disagrees?
It's easy, I just apply for it myself, if you Cao Cao disagrees, I will say that you control the government and bully the emperor!

But applying by yourself does not mean applying casually. If it were so simple, why would Sun Quan have always been a miscellaneous general?

The best way is to let a person with a higher status go to the court and recommend you as a certain general or a certain state shepherd.

For example, at the beginning Yuan Shu said that Sun Ce's position was humble and it was difficult for him to hold great power, so he represented Sun Ce as a lieutenant of Zhechong and a general who killed the bandits.In the original book, after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan represented Liu Bei as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and later Liu Bei represented Sun Quan as the chariot general and led the Xuzhou herd.

Liu Bei is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If he appeared to the court, it would basically be settled, regardless of whether Cao Cao agreed or disagreed.

Zhang Wu, who was in a good mood, also made a joke with Liu Bei: "Then thank you, Mr. Yue! By the way, I heard that the two mother-in-laws are happy, so congratulations, Mr. Yue, A Dou will have younger brothers and sisters too! "

Liu Bei was both happy and embarrassed and said: "Hehe, it's all the blessings of the ancestors, hehe!"

After leaving Liu Bei's mansion, Zhang Wu in a good mood didn't go back to Zhou Mu's mansion immediately, but brought a few guards to a big mansion.

This mansion is not only located in the central area of ​​Xiangyang, but also relatively secluded. The area is not small. There are pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, gardens and rockeries inside, and there seem to be people secretly guarding the surroundings.

The person living in this house is Xiao Qiao.

After General Zhang kidnapped Xiao Qiao, the housekeeper Zhang Zhong arranged it here. In addition to the maids brought by Xiao Qiao, he also arranged for many servants and maids to come here.

After Zhang Wu returned to Xiangyang from Jiangdong, he had no time to come because he had many things to deal with, and he had to spend time with his wife and children first.

Taking advantage of my good mood today, I came over to see how Xiao Qiao was doing.

"Is Mrs. Qiao still used to living here?" Zhang Wu asked with a smile.

"Thank you General for your hospitality. Now that the war has subsided for a long time, I wonder when the General plans to send our mother and daughter back to Jiangdong?" Xiao Qiao was still a little angry. Even if she ate and lived here well, it was not her home after all.I was snatched by Zhang Wu suddenly, and my family might think they died on the way if they didn't know the situation.

Zhou Xun is Zhou Yu's only son. Now that there is no news for such a long time, it is unknown what the Zhou family will be in a hurry.

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "What? Is Mrs. Qiao uncomfortable living here? Could it be that the servants have neglected Madam? If so, I will punish them severely!"

"The general misunderstood, being a concubine does not mean that. If our mother and I have been away from home for a long time, I am afraid that the family members are worried, so we want to return home as soon as possible."

"Oh! That's how it is, but I'm going to attack Wu County soon. When the time comes, there will be chaos. I'm afraid it's not safe. Ma'am, it's better to live here temporarily. But please don't worry, Ma'am, I will be able to To pacify Jiangdong, I will send someone to bring my wife's family over."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, he didn't intend to let us go!Why are you so shameless!

"Is the general going to let us go? If the general does this, he won't be afraid of the people in the world talking about it?"

Zhang Wu didn't answer, but beckoned Zhou Xun to come to him. After touching Zhou Xun's face, he asked, "Xun'er, is it fun here? Are you happy living here?"

Zhou Xun was young and didn't know the real situation of the matter yet. Of course, Xiao Qiao would not tell him, so she said: "This place is very fun, and the food is delicious. I am very happy. But, I want to go home!"

Children have been outside for a long time, of course they want to go home, because only at home can they feel safe.

Zhang Wu said: "Okay, since Xun'er wants to go home, I'll take you back in a few days, okay? Come on, I'll give you something fun, see if you like it!"

After speaking, Zhang Wu took out an exquisite round box-shaped object from his pocket, with a transparent crystal-carved cover on the outside, and a small pointer inside flickered, but always pointed in one direction.

Little Zhou Xun was attracted. Children are always curious about strange things. He dangled them in his hands, but he didn't know what they were.

"What is this?" Zhou Xun asked.

"This thing is called a compass. No matter how you shake it or where you face, the red end of the pointer inside will always point to the south, while the black end will always point to the north." Zhang Wu explained.

The compass has existed since ancient times. It was called Sinan in ancient times. It first appeared in the Warring States Period. It is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and was also used in this era.

But a compass that is exquisitely crafted and very accurate like this is extremely rare, and it can be said that there are no more than ten in the world today.

"Really? It's amazing!" Zhou Xun shook the compass happily, and then found that when the pointer stopped, it was still pointing in one direction.

So Zhou Xun came to Xiao Qiao excitedly again, and said to Xiao Qiao: "Look, mother, this compass is really amazing!"

Xiao Qiao also saw this beautifully crafted compass, and then thought of the telescope that Zhang Wu had given to her son before, and couldn't help but wonder why this Wu had so many magical things.With Xiao Qiao's knowledge, he can certainly imagine that if these things are applied to war, they will play a very important role.

There are also many utensils and children's toys in this mansion. According to the servants, they were all invented by Zhang Wu, which is really strange!
Zhang Wu smiled again and said to Zhou Xun: "Xun'er, why don't you try it in the yard and see if the compass is still the same outside?" Then Zhang Wu winked at a maid.

"Yeah!"

Xiao Zhou Xun was led by the maid to play in the yard, and the other maids also left the house under Zhang Wu's hint.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao felt a little nervous.

 I found that piracy on the Internet is really powerful. I just posted a new chapter for 3 minutes, and there was a full-text pirated version there!
