Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Good. "Xu Huang is a small official, and he can be appreciated by Zhang Xiu, but he can't ask for it. He also talked with Zhang Xiu very speculatively, how could there be any reason not to follow? He bowed and saluted, but went with Zhang Xiu.

After entering the big tent, Zhang Xiugao sat on the upper seat, Dian Wei stood with his entourage, and Xu Huang sat on the side seat. Zhang Xiu ordered his soldiers to bring up wine and cooked meat, and the two began to push the cup and change the lamp.

"I think Brother Xu is powerful, and he is also good at martial arts, and he is also well versed in the art of war. I don't know where to get up?" Zhang Xiu knew that Xu Huang was a small official, but he pretended not to know and asked.

Xu Huang's face remained unchanged, he took a sip of the wine bowl with a smile, and said, "Where is the high level, I am just a knife and pen official in the county at present."

Zhang Xiushun went up the tree, picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked while chewing: "With Brother Xu's talent, it is really condescending to be a knife and pen officer." Although I am only a county guard and school captain, I can also be appointed as a subordinate of the army. Brother Xu might as well defect to me, be a subordinate under my account, and lead more than a thousand soldiers, wouldn't he be happy?"

Xu Huang's face was slightly sideways, as if he was excited.

Life is too short to pass away like a meteor. Now he is nearly thirty years old, and he has a body of martial arts and a deep understanding of military books. But he dreamed of joining the military and getting ahead.

But there is no chance of suffering. Now that he has met a "benefactor" who can appreciate him, it is true that he has come to the pole and caught up with a good opportunity.

But.

Xu Huang sighed sadly, and said to Zhang Xiu: "Thank you for your appreciation." But don't hide it from the general, my mother is seriously ill. The reason why I crossed the river and came to Zuo Fengyi was to ask for medicinal stones for my mother. Although the general appreciated it, he could only refuse ruthlessly.

Zhang Xiu also sighed when he heard this, and said: "The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety. My mother is seriously ill, and it is true that she should not leave home. But.

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "When my aunt's illness improves, Brother Xu must not forget me." Come and see me in the sun. He

was also quite helpless, but since his mother was seriously ill, he was helpless. Today, I am fortunate to meet Xu Huang and settle the seed, and it will be okay. It's a long time coming.

He now has few generals under his command, and if he wants to successfully inherit Dong Zhuo's political legacy, he needs a lot of help. Xu Huang is such a good general, not to be missed.

"The general is so appreciative, dare to disobey his orders?" Xu Huang showed a look of emotion and hugged his fists.

It's true. He thinks that he has never met a talent, Zhang Xiu not only recruited him, but also was willing to wait for him, and he was really kind to him.

After talking for a while, Xu Huang raised his head and asked Zhang Xiudao: "The general guards the land of Luoyang and guards the Sanfu Gate. Why did he come to Pubandu

on a light horse?"Go to Bingzhou?Hedong?

In short, as the lord of Zhang Xiu's army, it is very strange to come here on a light horse.

"Don't hide it from Brother Xu, leather is useless in our army. I want to go to Hedong to buy some. Zhang Xiu didn't hide it, and sighed.

He also wanted to get some news from Xu Huang. Xu Huang is a small official in Hedong County, and the Wei family is a big family in Hedong, Xu Huang may know some inside information.

Xu Huang frowned, Zhang Xiuwang suddenly changed his heart, it seemed that Xu Huang really knew a little bit of the inside story.

"Brother Xu, do you have any advice?" asked Zhang Xiu.

"Hedong Weijia has a large number of leather reserves, all of which are good cowhides, and you can buy them to make leather armor. But there is already a buyer for this batch of skins, and I am afraid that the general will go to Hedong, and it will be in vain.

Xu Huang sighed, shook his head slightly and said.

Xu Huang is not a person without a target, since he said so, the buyer should be great. But Zhang Xiu was a little unwilling, and asked: "Who is the buyer?"

Xu Huang raised his head and said simply.

Zhang Xiu suddenly lost all his thoughts. That's really. The great general He Jin and the ten permanent servants are the top figures of the Han Dynasty.

Even Dong Zhuo depends on the two to survive, not to mention him, a border general trained by Dong Zhuo?

This batch of cowhides is really tiger skins, and I can't touch them, so what can I do about it?"

Zhang Xiu sighed and said.

"Youzhou is skiny. But Jizhou also has skin, why should the general be reluctant to seek the near and far?" Xu Huang smiled slightly when he saw this.

"Oh. Brother Xu has a way?" Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, it would be great if he didn't have to go to Youzhou. The place was too far away, and it took too much time to go back and forth.

"I know Zhang Shiping, a big businessman in Zhongshan. Although he usually sells horses, he has recently hoarded a batch of good cowhides. I could write a letter, and the general would take it to him. In terms of price, it will also be fair. Xu Huang arched his hand and said.

Zhang Xiu's heart moved again, and Zhang Shiping, a businessman from Zhongshan, sold horses again. is probably the big businessman who funded Liu Bei's army.

When you go to Zhongshan Country, you will inevitably pass through Changshan County, which is a good place. Zhang Xiu remembered a dragon that lived in Longtan.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. Zhang Xiu put away her thoughts and said to Xu Huang.

The general was serious. Xu Huang shook his head and said. Compared to Zhang Xiu's appreciation of him, what is his letter?

I only hate that my mother is seriously ill and can't follow Zhang Xiu to Liangzhou to join the army. Immediately, Zhang Xiu ordered someone to take pen and ink, and Xu Huang wrote a letter and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

Then they continued to eat and drink. Xu Huang came to Zuo Fengyi alone, and he didn't have a tent to live in. Zhang Xiu invited him to stay.

Two days later, the weather improved. Although the water level of Kabasakadu is still very high, the water has calmed down. Zhang Xiu crossed the river with Xu Huang, because there were many followers and many horses and supplies.

Zhang Xiu's men and horses were divided into two groups to cross the river.

When he set foot on the border of Bingzhou, Zhang Xiu really wanted to make friends with Xu Huang, so he did not go directly from Bingzhou to Jizhou, but turned south, still went to Hedong County, and came to Xu Huang's hometown Yang County, and bought some special gifts along the way to visit Xu's mother.

Yang County is a small city, Zhang Xiu led two or three hundred light horsemen into Yang County, which was really eye-catching, and because the guards of the city were vigilant, they almost didn't come in.

After entering the county seat, under the leadership of Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu arrived at the Xu family's mansion. Although Xu Huang is a small official in the county, his family background is actually a small local tyrant, this mansion is not small, and it looks like it has just been renovated.

Zhang Xiu asked Qingqi and Wang Ding to stay outside the door, let Dian Wei hold the gift, and followed Xu Huang into the Xu family's mansion, and went straight to the inner house to visit Xu's mother.

In the bedroom, the smell of medicine is permeating. Mother Xu was lying on a big bed, her eyes closed, looking sick. There are two maids serving beside him.

"Mother. Son is back. Xu Huang looked at his seriously ill mother, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly bowed under the bed.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu put down the gift and bowed his hand.

"Komeito is back. Mother Xu opened her eyes, and after seeing Xu Huang in her cloudy eyes, she gradually regained her brightness and showed a little smile.

"Mother. Xu Huang's eyes turned even redder, and he quickly stood up and came to the edge of the big bed, helping Xu's mother to sit up.

"Who is this?" Mother Xu also noticed Zhang Xiu and couldn't help asking.

"It is the captain of Huqiang and the general of Luoyang County. I got acquainted with my son in Kasakadu, and I became friends after a conversation. He heard that his mother was seriously ill and came to visit. Xu Huang wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, raised his head and showed an embarrassed expression, and introduced by the way.

"I've seen my aunt. Zhang Xiu bent down again and saluted.

"It's General Shenweitian. Mother Xu was a little moved when she heard this, and struggled to get up to salute, but was hurriedly comforted by Xu Huang.

"The old body can't get up, and please don't blame the general. Xu Mu really didn't have the strength to sigh.

"Auntie is serious. Brother Xu and I are true friends, so why bother with all this red tape?" Zhang Xiu shook his head and said.

Zhang Xiu is also entangled in military affairs, and Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest are by no means underestimated. This time I want to go to Jizhou again, and the time exceeds the budget.

Zhang Xiu's affection was delivered, and after chatting a few words in Xu's mother's room, Zhang Xiu got up and said goodbye. Of course, Xu Huang sent it to the door, and the two said goodbye.

"Take care, brother. "

General, take care.

After Zhang Xiu turned over and bowed his hand, he and Dian Wei and other two hundred light horsemen went to the east city gate. After Xu Huang saw Zhang Xiu leave, he returned to the mansion to serve Xu's mother.

"Komeito. Mother Xu sat on the bed, but her face was slightly serious. Xu Huang was slightly stunned, lifted the corner of his clothes, and knelt in front of the bed honestly.

"Mother. "

Komeito. Our Xu family is a poor family, and you usually boast that you don't meet it. Now I am fortunate to meet General Zhang. I saw that General Zhang was young, but he was Corporal Lixian. And the prestige is outside, better than Ma Teng and Han Sui. Why don't you go his way and get an important job?"

Xu's mother looked at her son and asked solemnly.

Xu Huang looked at his mother honestly, but he didn't say a word. Xu Mu sighed and understood.

"My body is really a drag on you. Xu Mu said quietly.

"Mother don't say that. When I was a child, my mother held me in her arms, and when I contracted the cold, she carried me to seek medical treatment. Now the son is grown, and the mother is sick and weak. How can I abandon my mother for the sake of fame?" Xu Huang shook his head and said with a resolute face.

Mother Xu was relieved and bitter when she heard this. This son is really a good son, not only filial piety, but also talented. But she's a mother, and she doesn't know how many years she will delay him.

Mother Xu struggled to reach out to touch Xu Huang's face, Xu Huang quickly stood up and bent down to let Mother Xu touch her face smoothly.

Mother Xu touched Xu Huang's rough face and sighed, "If only you had a brother." Can let him take care of me. You go to make meritorious deeds and earn fame.

Xu Huang smiled, but didn't answer. Even if he has a younger brother to take care of his mother, he will not leave easily. The loving mother is here, not far away. What's more, the loving mother is seriously ill, and the

mother and son are connected, and Xu's mother feels Xu Huang's filial piety, and smiles and says, "I'm hungry." Komeito go and steam an egg custard for me.

"Okay. Xu Huang hurriedly agreed, first helped Xu's mother to lie down again, and then carefully covered the quilt, then turned around and went out of the door to steam the egg custard in person.

"A person of great filial piety must be a great loyalty. My son is so good. Mother Xu looked at the back of Xu Huang leaving, and she was even more pleased.
