Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Xiu is rampant all over the world, famous in Liangzhou, Sanfu, and even in the world. Now that I saw this talented woman, she was also speechless and defeated.

But even if he said a thousand words, he would not let Cai Yan go.

As for Cai Yan's hunger strike, Zhang Xiu didn't care. Anyway, the people who cook still have to cook. Cai Yan was afraid of starvation, so he couldn't die, and he would slowly be content with the status quo.

Although there were waves in the inner house, it was not a big deal. As for foreign affairs, Zhang Xiu is still very busy.

After Zhang Ji's death, he should have been buried in the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family in Zuli County, Wuwei County, but it is estimated that he was buried in the ancestral tomb and would have been dug up by Han Sui.

Zhang Xiu buried Zhang Ji outside the city of Luoyang, he chose an auspicious time, took Li Ji's head, and went to pay tribute to Zhang Ji with great fanfare.

It is righteousness to avenge one's relatives. It's a good name.

Then the news from the imperial court was not wrong, and the emperor sent angels (envoys) over and canonized Zhang Xiu as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Zhang Xiu set up a banquet to entertain the angels, bribed the other party with a lot of money, and finally sent him away respectfully.

It stands to reason that Zhang Xiu can have a Hanshou Marquis Mansion in Linwei City, but Zhang Xiu is sure that he will not stay in Linwei City for a long time, and it is not very interesting, so he continues to live in the county guard's mansion.

Zhang Xiu didn't care about this matter. There were many levels of marquis titles in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the most inferior was the Marquis of Guannei, who had a title but no specific fief, and enjoyed the money given by the imperial court.

And then there are pavilion marquis, duting marquis, township marquis, county marquis, county marquis, county marquis, etc., those who can do the county marquis, at least ten thousand household marquis.

These are collectively referred to as "liehous", which can be regarded as princes.

The pavilion was an administrative unit in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Han Gaozu once served as a pavilion chief. The Pavilion Marquis is to choose a rural pavilion in the territory of the Han Dynasty and give it to the marquis, which is counted as a fief and can collect taxes.

Du Tinghou is to choose a pavilion in the county.

To put it simply, it is the difference between a country marquis and a city marquis. And so on.

But Zhang Xiu has some complaints about the name of Hanshou Tinghou.

Isn't this the title that Guan Yu was canonized by Cao Cao in history?

Hanshou City should be located in Jingnan, where birds don't. The imperial court sealed 300 households to him and collected taxes.

He estimated that he would not be able to go to Hanshou in ten years, and he would not be able to talk about any taxes.

To put it simply, the imperial court just gave an empty title.

Awesome.

Although Zhang Xiu is concerned about this feudal marquis, the Zou family cares a lot. The boy immediately took fame and paid homage to the general, and his life was really radiant.

When Zhang Xiu sent the angel away, he rode back to the county guard's mansion. The maids and servants in the palace bowed down and called "Hanshou Hou" when he passed by.

No need to ask, it's the result of Zou's training.

Now his title has been automatically changed. It is called the captain of Huqiang, the county guard of Luoyang, and the marquis of Hanshou, Zhang Gong, who wears Hou clothes, gold seals (Hou Yin), and purple ribbons (purple belts made by the imperial court).

Yes, if you don't reach the age of twenty, you're a man.

By the way, after being named a liehou, Zhang Xiu can be called "lonely".

Called "minister" to the court, and "lonely" to his subordinates, behind closed doors, Zhang Xiu is also lonely.

All in all, things have changed slightly, but they don't do much to the big picture, just a little more honorable.

And after these trivial things, Zhang Xiu is still practicing martial arts during the day and reading the Spring and Autumn Festival at night, and by the way, under the rules of the Zou family, he pampers a beautiful concubine once every three days, so as not to be too diligent and do nothing.

In official affairs, he repaired political affairs, trained soldiers and horses, and put on an active preparation to crusade against Ma Teng and Han Sui.

By the way, there's one more thing. He previously praised Zhao Yun for his "talent and civil and military skills", and for his crusade against Cheng Yi, he was awarded the title of Captain of Tianshui.

The imperial court edict has come down, and now Zhao Yun's official position has also changed from Sima of other departments to officially become the captain of Tianshui.

The power of the Zhang family is thriving and wonderful.

............

Let's talk about Jia Xu.

Jia Xu volunteered to ask 500 elite horsemen to escort heavy money and property, and went to see Dong Zhuo as Zhang Xiu's waiter. All the way through the Weishui River, and then north to the right Fufeng Huaili outside the city, Dong Zhuo camp. After revealing their identities, the five hundred elite horsemen stayed outside, and the carriage baggage was collected by Dong Zhuo's people.

Jia Xu took the list of gold and silver, rode into the camp, and went directly to Dong Zhuo's big tent.

Before Jia Xu came, inside the big tent.

In the tent, five beautiful singers danced, and seven or eight musicians were playing.

Dong Zhuo sat alone in the handsome seat, with wine and meat on the table in front of him, eating and drinking. Although he is lustful, watching singing and dancing at the moment is not happy at all, and even the more he thinks about it, the more unhappy he becomes.

Dong Zhuo rudely grabbed a piece of meat and bit it down, then glared at the singers and musicians present and said, "Get out." "

Dong Zhuo is brutal by nature, and he has done everything to kill beautiful concubines. When the singers and musicians heard this, they immediately hugged their heads and ran away from the big tent.

"Hmph. Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, and his face was full of fat.

He crusaded against Ma Teng and Han Sui several times, but did not get the credit, and he was very unhappy. In particular, Zhang Xiu had faintly broken away from his disciples, and even mobilized troops with Ma Teng and Han Sui to kill Cheng Yi and Li Dao, and the court rewarded him as "Marquis of Hanshou".

Dong Zhuo was very red and jealous.

That's his character. treats subordinates as a compassionate pension, but once the status changes, the attitude naturally changes.

And now Zhang Xiu, regardless of his official position and military power, is almost the same as him. It really upset him. But because of Li Ru's persuasion, he still helped Zhang Xiu operate in the court and asked for military merits.

At this moment, a personal soldier came in to report the news of Jia Xu's arrival, and said that he had brought many carts. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly lost a lot of anger.

"This kid still has a bit of a conscience. Dong Zhuo snorted, and then said to his own soldiers: "Go and invite Li Ru." Bring Jia Xu in again. "

No. The soldiers promised to go down, and in just a moment, Li Ru entered in a graceful manner.

"My lord. Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo very elegantly.

"Sit down. Zhang Xiu sent Jia Xu over, it should be a gift for me. Take a look at how much this kid has sent. Dong Zhuo snorted and said.

Li Ru is actually quite helpless, this embroidery was made by your door, and the relationship between the two sides is harmonious, what are you jealous of? But this is also Dong Zhuo's nature, and he is helpless.

Not long after, Jia Xu walked in from outside, calmly saluted Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, and called him "Dong Gong" and "Mr. Li". Then, without ambiguity, he took out the gold and silver list from his sleeve, stepped forward and bent down and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo opened it and looked at it, and he was immediately happy.

Good guys 1,000 gold, 5,000 silver, 200 cloth, 50 Shu brocade.

Heavy gift, really heavy gift.

Dong Zhuo's heart was full of joy, and the anger in his heart was gone, and he treated Zhang Xiu again.

"Mr. Wenhe has worked hard all the way, sit. Dong Zhuo put down the list of gold and silver, and also said to Jia Xu with a pleasant face. Both of them are from Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo knew Jia Xu before.

"Xie Dong Gong gave the seat. Jia Xu looked grateful and came to sit down opposite Li Ru.

Li Ru is a person of insight, looking at Dong Zhuo's expression, he immediately knew that Zhang Xiu had given a heavy gift, and he also smiled. He is quite optimistic about Zhang Xiu anyway, and now that Zhang Xiu has vaguely set up his own door, he still gives a heavy gift to Dong Zhuo, this is loyalty.

"Wenhe, what's the situation on Da Lang's side now?" Dong Zhuo continued to ask with a pleasant face, a little bit of a cold and warm taste.

"Thank you Dong Gong for your concern. Captain Huqiang (Zhang Xiu), currently very good. Grain and grass are abundant, and the treasury is full. We are actively training our troops.

After Jia Xu said this, he said: "When the time is ripe, he hopes to join hands with Dong Gong to go to the imperial court, and ask Dong Gong to be the main general, and Captain Huqiang as the deputy general, and jointly crusade against Ma Teng and Han Sui, and achieve great achievements." "

Dong Zhuo's heart knot is here, and he has conquered Liangzhou several times, but he has not contributed much, but he has lost his troops and lost his generals. And Zhang Xiu has repeatedly made military exploits, he is narrow-minded, so he is jealous of Zhang Xiu.

But under the heavy gift, Zhang Xiu was willing to let him be the main general, conquer Liangzhou together, and win great achievements. Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's heart was gone.

He laughed, and his fat face suddenly trembled, and he was very happy.

"Da Lang, I really know my heart. Good. When the grain is sufficient next year, the old man and him will jointly go to the table to crusade against Ma Teng and Han Sui and make contributions.

Dong Zhuo said loudly.

"No. Jia Xu promised.

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood, and couldn't help yelling to the outside world: "Come on, let the song and dance come in, prepare the wine and food, I want to treat Mr. Wenhe well." "

No. The

soldiers outside the tent immediately agreed when they heard the words. found the singer and musician who were driven away by Dong Zhuo just now, and served new wine and food.

Dong Zhuo invited Jia Xu to the banquet, and Li Ru accompanied him.

After drinking for a while, Jia Xu was "overwhelmed by alcohol", threw himself on the desk, and was helped out by his own soldiers, so that he could be resettled.

The singer and musician also got Dong Zhuo's reward, and they went down with a smile. The soldiers rushed in to clean up the scraps on the case.

After being refreshed, Dong Zhuo smiled at Li Ru and said, "Da Lang, you are really loyal to me, I don't have to worry about it."

"He's been quite loyal. Li Ru thought to himself, and he smiled and arched his hand.

At that moment, the soldiers walked in from outside. Yu reported: "Report to the lord, there is a messenger outside the camp gate who claims to be Zhang Gong, the regular attendant of the Central People's Congress.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru suddenly became serious and glanced at each other.

"Please come in. Dong Zhuo said immediately.

"No. The soldier said yes and turned to go down. Soon after, a middle-aged strong man walked in, and after paying homage to Dong Zhuo, he sent Zhang Rang's letter.

Dong Zhuo respected this person very much, gave the other party 10 gold, and ordered the soldiers to settle this person, and by the way, he sent a singer to warm the bed for this person.

After the messenger left with a grateful face, Dong Zhuocai picked up Zhang Rang's letter and opened it to watch, and suddenly his face shook, revealing anger, and he raised his head and said to Li Ru: "Huangfu Song impeached me on the table, saying that I am a wolf and ambitious. After the discussion of the imperial court, I was recruited as a young official (high-ranking official: one of the nine kings).

Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched his beard and groaned for a while, and said: "Lord, this is the rise of the Ming Dynasty and the secret descendation, seizing the power of the lord's army." "
