Zhang Ji looked at Wen Zhao's sincere and eager face and hesitated.

After a while, he finally said: "What the general has to do now is to seize Yizhou as soon as possible, and then cultivate and recuperate, and then sit back and wait for the world to change." ”

"If the general gains the state, there are already two in the world, on the one hand, to reform the internal affairs, develop production, and on the other hand, to find an opportunity to eliminate the rest of the princes, it is the best policy."

"Even if the rest of the princes are difficult to exterminate in a short period of time, the general doesn't need to worry too much."

"Now Liu Biao and Yuan Benchu are not young, even if it is Cao Mengde. The general has an advantage that no one else can match, that is, he is young and strong. ”

Hearing this, Wen Zhao's heart moved, and suddenly it sounded that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao died very early in history.

If these two people died, there would definitely be turmoil under their rule, and at that time, Chen Xu would have an opportunity to take advantage of.

Even compared to Cao Cao, Wen Zhao felt that he would outlive him. And longevity is sometimes a kind of abundant capital.

Of course, if Chen Xu has been holding this kind of thought, it will inevitably be a little too negative.

In the world of great controversy, it is right to go against the current, seize the opportunity, and be able to eliminate the rest of the princes as much as possible in a limited life.

But Zhang Ji's words also opened another door for Wen Zhao, that is, self-cultivation, competition for life, and competition for the next generation.

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, but it was already time for breakfast, and Dian Wei called Wen Zhao to eat.

Looking up at the already bright sky, Wen Zhao felt that time passed so quickly.

Dian Wei entered the door, looked at the two bowls of food that were already cold, but still not touched at all, and immediately said with concern: "Lord, pay more attention to your body." ”

Wen Zhao said indifferently: "It's okay, today I will eat the food that I missed yesterday and eat it together." ”

Then, he moved his body, got up and made a deep bow to Zhang Ji.

He said earnestly: "Mr. is a great talent in the world, but Xu used to be blind, and he only appointed Mr. as a county commander. I woke up suddenly today, and I was ashamed. ”

"I have repeatedly and earnestly invited Mr. to go to Pusaka to serve as a scholar, I wonder if Mr. is willing to give in?"

The person who is now serving as Shang Shuling is Chen Qun, the brother of the Wenzhao clan.

Shang Shuling was directly responsible to the emperor and was the head of all government decrees, and had great power. Of course, now that the Son of Heaven is like a puppet, Chen Qun, the Shang Shuling, is actually directly responsible for Wen Zhao.

And Shang Shuling's deputy is Shang Shu's servant, although his power is not as good as Shang Shuling, but he is also in a high position, and his position is extremely important.

Zhang Ji was able to go from a county order to be directly recruited by Wen Zhao as a scholar, which shows Wen Zhao's importance to Zhang Ji.

When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly got out of bed and saluted: "Thanks to the lord who does not give up, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Wen Zhao was overjoyed, stepped forward to hold Zhang Ji's arm, and said with a laugh: "I have Derong, just like the rain and dew of dry seedlings, and the sweet spring of thirsty fish." ”

Then, after the two of them had washed up, they went to eat.

As for the pro-soldiers led by Dian Man, they were also summoned by Wen Zhao to the county office.

At first, he just wanted to hide his identity, in order not to attract attention, so he let Dianman lead the team to leave. Now, he has clarified his identity with Zhang Ji, so naturally there is no need to let Dian Man and others hide it.

In this way, for three consecutive days, Wen Zhao was in Xinfeng County, talking freely with Zhang Ji about the affairs of the world, all day long.

On this day, Zhang Jizheng took Wen Zhao to tour around in Xinfeng County, and suddenly saw a lot of dust outside the city, accompanied by a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Zhang Ji was shocked, and hurriedly shouted to the person next to him: "What happened? ”

Dian Wei and the others drew their weapons and vigilantly surrounded Wen Zhao in the middle.

It didn't take long for a county soldier to run over panting, shouting loudly: "Ming Ting, Zhao Zilong, the general of the court, led five hundred elite horsemen, saying that there is something important to meet the general." ”

Speaking of which, the soldier also intentionally or unintentionally set his eyes on Chen Xu, his eyes full of awe.

Although Wen Zhao and Zhang Ji clarified their identities, they did not tell the entire Xinfeng County.

Therefore, many people know that Wen Zhao is a big man, so that the county commander accompanies him every day, but they don't know that he is the general of the dynasty.

It wasn't until Zhao Yun arrived with five hundred elite horsemen and said that he wanted to meet the general that everyone suddenly realized and guessed Wen Zhao's identity.

Wen Zhao was also shocked at this time, and asked suspiciously: "What a big deal, you actually want Zilong to come and report for me in person?" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly led Zhang Ji, Dian Wei and others to the city gate.

When he came to the gate of the city, Wen Zhao raised his eyes and found that five hundred elite horsemen were lined up in a neat line outside the city, everyone was in good spirits and full of fighting spirit.

The first member of the general is dignified, majestic, holding a gorgeous and heavy silver gun, who is Zhao Yun, who is not the general of Guanzhong?

At this time, Zhao Yun also saw Wen Zhao and the others, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, came to Wen Zhao's side, and said: "Lord, Liangzhou is in an emergency, I hope that the lord can make a decision as soon as possible?" ”

Wen Zhao's heart trembled, and said: "Liangzhou has Ah Jing and Yuan Chang there, what happened?" ”

Zhao Yun looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Lord, this is not a place for discussion, it is better to change places first." ”

Wen Zhao slapped his forehead suddenly, only to find that this was the gate of the city, and immediately took Zhao Yun to Zhang Ji's residence.

Zhao Yun drank some water, then took out a letter and said, "Liangzhou is urgent, and the matter is very important. Several military advisors did not dare to make their own opinions, so I personally sent the letter to listen to the decision of the prince. ”

Wen Zhao took the letter, tore open the envelope, and read the contents in detail. After a while, he handed the letter to Zhang Ji.

"De Jong, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Ji felt a pang in his heart and knew that the main drama was coming.

Although he has recently gained the respect of Wen Zhao now, if he can't show the corresponding talent, I'm afraid he won't be able to gain a foothold in Pusaka.

Wen Zhao showed him the confidential letters, which was not only a trust in him, but also a test of Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji took the letter with both hands, read the contents carefully, and did not answer immediately, but asked: "Lord, how many troops does our army have in Liangzhou?" ”

Although Zhang Ji has some understanding of the general situation in the world, the specific number of troops stationed in Liangzhou is a secret in Guanzhong, and it is not something that he can know from a small county order.

Wen Zhao asked him to participate in the affairs of Liangzhou, and Zhang could not rely on his own speculation, so he made a presumptuous assertion, but first understood the details of Liangzhou.

Wen Zhao was extremely satisfied with Zhang Ji's performance, so he informed Zhang Ji of all the military affairs in Liangzhou.
