Duan Xuan not only killed Guo Yan, but also joined the others, so he played a triumphant song and returned. When they arrived in the camp, they were rewarded to the three armies. After the end, the two shared the spoils, and Zhang Xiu shared 4,000 elite soldiers. I was overjoyed and thanked Duan Simmer repeatedly.

After lingering for a few more days, Zhang Xiu resigned to Duan Xuan. Before leaving, Jia Xu said: "Zhongming, how about you and I go to Anyi to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Duan Xuan shook his head and said, "Wen and you and Wen Jin will go by themselves, and I will be stationed here to prevent Li Dao." After speaking, he said to Zhang Xiu: "Virtuous nephew, if Yuan Shao is not satisfactory, come to Huayin, you and I can join forces to protect ourselves in the world." This sentence is said sincerely. After the death of Dong Zhuo, the leading elder brother of the Liangzhou department, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu, and Hu Zhen, who were also generals in Liangzhou with Duan Xuan, all died. Li Wei killed Fan Chou, and Duan Xuan attacked Guo Yan again this time. In the past, Liangzhou was invincible, and now only Li Dao and Duan Xuan, as well as Zhang Xiu, are left. Although there are still Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, they are self-contained, and Li Dao and Duan Xuan have the opposite position. What can really make Duan Xuan feel a trace of closeness in his heart is Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, two fellow villagers of Wuwei County.

This time I said goodbye, and I didn't know when we would be able to meet, so Duan Xuan couldn't help but say this. When Zhang Xiu heard this, his heart fluctuated, and he bowed again: "Embroidery, remember what my uncle said, take care of my uncle." After saying that, the two parted with tears.

Zhang Xiu went all the way to Shaanxi County, and after a few days, it was convenient for Maojinkou to cross the river. led a large army and went all the way to Anyi. On the way, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu: "Why did Jia Gong persuade his uncle to come to the Son of Heaven with me?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Listening to Zhongming's words, the Baibo army in Hedong is very numerous, and Yang Feng and others are quite powerful. Wouldn't it be better if Zhongming could come with me, defeat the White Wave Army, annex its people, and make me have no worries about the future? ”

Zhang Xiu listened, silent, not knowing what to say. Jia Xu actually didn't tell the truth, he had a huge plan in mind, but this was not the time. Let's take a look at it when we get to Anyi.

Zhang Xiu crossed the river, and then arrived at Dayang, Dayang County Commander did not know the banner when he saw it, so he closed the door and guarded himself, and said loudly at the head of the city: "Who is coming!" ”

Zhang Xiu rode out of the battle alone, walked to the city, and said: "I am General Jianzhong, Xuanwei Hou Zhang Xiu is also, now I hear that the Son of Heaven is in Anyi, so I want to go to the Hajj, and ask the county order to let go." ”

Dayang County Ling remembered such a number one person, and saw that Zhang Xiu was not the kind of domineering person, so he put his mind at ease and said, "General, wait a while." ”

So he went down to the city to greet Zhang Xiu. Set up a banquet in the city to treat him, parting, and gave Zhang Xiu a document, saying: "There are still several cities ahead, and the general can pass with this document." ”

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and thanked him goodbye. went all the way north, holding the documents of the Dayang County Order, and it was unimpeded. When he arrived at Anyi, he sent someone to report. Taishou Wangyi got the letter, hurriedly came to see the Son of Heaven, and said: "Your Majesty, there is an army outside the city, and it is said that Zhang Xiu is coming to the court." ”

The Son of Heaven turned in his heart and doubted: "Zhang Xiuyuan has been in Nanyang for several years, how did he get here?" QuickPass! "I haven't heard the news from the south for a long time, Zhang Xiu has come, but he wants to ask a question.

Summoned by the Son of Heaven, Zhang Xiu left his army outside and entered the city with Jia Xu's personal guards. When he arrived at the Taishou official residence, Jia Xu sighed with emotion: "The dignified and supreme, I am fortunate to be in the Taishou Mansion, which is really a sigh!" Then he entered with Zhang Xiu.

In front of the hall, the Son of Heaven sat in the middle, and the princes were lined up on the left and right. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu bowed: "General Jianzhong, Xuanwei Marquis Zhang Xiu; Guanglu Doctor Jia Xu pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

After Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Xiu reported to the imperial court and asked for Zhang Ji's title, but the government was controlled by Li Ji and others, so he did not allow it. Therefore, Zhang Xiu's knighthood is still the same as before. Jia Xu helped the generals of Liangzhou to enter Chang'an, and when he was rewarded, Li Wei and others wanted Jia Xu to be the prince and worship the servants. After Jia Xu saw that the generals broke through Chang'an, they killed corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river. I was ashamed, so I refused to accept it. After worshipping as a scholar, Xuan went to work because of his mother's funeral, and only hung up the false title of Guanglu doctor.

After the Son of Heaven gave him the seat, he asked Zhang Xiu about everything. Zhang Xiu did not hide it, and Cao Cao went south to fight for Jingzhou, and he was defeated in Nanyang, so he had to go back to Guanzhong and tell all the things in detail.

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven and Zhu Qing both sank in their hearts. Since Yuan Shu's arrogance, the princes of Kwantung have become more and more nonsense. As Zhang Xiu said, Sun Jian and Cao Cao privately raised troops to attack Jingzhou, Chang'an did not talk about it, and they did not report to Luoyang at all. And Yuan Shao, who always adheres to the government, doesn't even care about it, and lets them do whatever they want. In this way, where is the prestige of the Han family? It was okay before, at least I would find a reason, and I would report to the Son of Heaven. Now the princes have their own conquests, and the authority of the court has ceased to exist. This means that, at least in the hearts of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian, the Son of Heaven can no longer play a role for them.

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and Fang Qiang said with a smile: "Fortunately, there are still loyal and upright ministers such as Liu Bei and Liu Yu in Kanto, otherwise, this world will no longer be a Han Ye." ”

When Yang Biao and the others heard this, their hearts were also heavy. Indeed it is. Liu Biao was attacked by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and his destruction was imminent. If it weren't for the fact that there was still Liu Yu and Liu Bei in Kanto to support them, I wouldn't know who it would belong to in this world. Isn't Yuan Shu the emperor?

Look at this level again, Dong Zhuo died, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were raised. I finally ran east to Anyi, hoping to live a good and stable life here. The commanders of the White Polish Army fought for power and disrupted political affairs. Even a small river east is not peaceful. Recalling the time of the first emperor, although the first emperor favored the eunuchs and did not practice good governance. But in this world, it is still in the hands of the imperial court. Whether it is the three dukes or the border generals, who dares to disobey the order of the imperial court?

Junchen sighed for a while, and then heard Zhang Xiu say that Guo Yan was defeated and died. The Son of Heaven and the ministers glanced at each other, and they all felt happy in their hearts. Li Dao and Guo Yan chased and killed all the way before, which made them embarrassed, the majesty and dignity of the Son of Heaven and the ministers were lost, the soldiers and ministers and attendants were killed and injured countless times, and the loss of classics, runes and artifacts was countless. The monarchs and ministers had already beheaded these two countless times in their hearts. At this time, after hearing the news of Guo Yan's death, I felt that this was rare good news.

The Son of Heaven talked to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu for a while, and then entered. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu said goodbye and returned to the camp outside the city.

When Han Xian saw Zhang Xiu coming, he felt uncomfortable, went to see Yang Feng, and said, "Zhang Xiu is coming from afar, what does he want?" ”

Yang Fengdao: "Today's performance is right, Zhang Xiu's army defeated Nanyang and lost to Cao Cao, so he went away to Guanzhong." Because the Son of Heaven is here, he came to the court. Don't be suspicious. ”

Han Xian thought to himself that as soon as he came to Guanzhong, he fought Guo Yan with Duan Xuan, can I not panic in my heart. Seeing that Yang Feng's words were sincere, his heart was a little calm, and he thought that at least Brother Yang was still on my side. So he quit Yang Feng and hurriedly went to see Li Le, Hu Cai and others.

That night, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet and ordered all the Qingqing in the city of Anyi to wash the dust for Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. After the banquet, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu wanted to return to the camp, but suddenly a small yellow door stopped them and said, "Your Majesty has a will, let Zhang and Jia Erqing go." ”

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, doubting in their hearts, but they kept under their feet, and went into the inner courtyard with the little yellow door.
