When Gao Zhan came out, he was still holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and while looking at it, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao came to Gao Zhan and said, "Xie Long, what are you holding? What is your task along the way?"

Gao Zhan was still looking at the bamboo slips intently, when he suddenly heard Zhang Xiao speak, he was startled, and after coming back to his senses, he said: "Uncle, master, this is the roster, each of our generals has to lead a hundred people to ride, there is no important task, mainly to garrison the camp, in case of sneak attacks, and protecting you is also one of our tasks." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

It seems that Cao Ren really attaches great importance to himself, but Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao feel that it is a bit excessive, do they still need soldiers to protect them with their own strength?

Zhang Xiao asked again: "Then do you know the specific situation of our southern expedition?"

Gao Zhan immediately replied: "We are mainly besieging Xinye in three ways this time, and the other two are led by General Xu Chu and General Cao Hong, and we are already in their rear, and the specific attack time is tentatively set for ten days later, but it may be postponed." ”

Zhang Xiao thought quietly, it seems that this southern expedition has indeed been prepared for a long time, although the personnel have only been transferred recently, but the layout and materials have already been prepared, it is estimated that it is to catch the opponent by surprise, but Xiahou Dun does not know if he will be shocked if he is defeated.

In response to his question, Zhang Xiao continued to ask: "Since the troops are divided into three routes, how are the soldiers and horses distributed? General Xiahou has only lost the battle, will Jingzhou take precautions?"

Gao Zhan put away the bamboo slips and said: "General Cao Ren's soldiers and horses are 40,000, and the three armies total about 100,000. ”

After Gao Zhan finished speaking, seeing that Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao didn't seem to have any arrangements, he asked, "You shouldn't have anything to do now, right?" Why don't you go with me to order troops." ”

Isn't the point of taking soldiers just a roll call? What's so fun about this, Zhang Yao didn't have much interest in the roll call, so he said: "No, you can go by yourself, let's go to Envoy Liu Ye to have a good chat, maybe we can know some confidential information that we don't know." ”

As soon as Gao Zhan heard Zhang Jiao's plan, he immediately stopped: "Master, I think it's better for you not to go, you see that so many people have gathered here now, and they all came here for the task assignment, don't make trouble for Liu Ye anymore." ”

Although Zhang Xiao did not accept Gao Zhan's accusations, he didn't mean to disturb others, since he couldn't do it, then give up and walk towards other places by himself, Zhang Xiao saw Zhang Xiao leave and followed closely, while Gao Zhan continued to busy with his own affairs.

But staying in this barracks, I really feel bored, there are no tents or playgrounds everywhere, and you can see soldiers who are training everywhere, which is not interesting at all, Zhang Yao's mood is not calm, and he is a little restless.

Zhishan Zhang Yao appeared beside Zhang Yao at this time, and said a little crazy: "Finally, we can fight, this time we must kill a happy person, avenge my father, and let them, the relatives of the Han family, come to the blood sacrifice of my father's spirit in the sky." ”

Not only Zhishan Zhang Yao appeared, but other Zhang Yao also appeared one after another, but they rarely reached an agreement this time, that is, they instigated Zhang Yao to drive out all the people in Jingzhou and leave no one alive.

Zhang Xiao gradually became more and more unstable, his brows were tightly locked, and he snorted in a suppressed manner, Zhang Xiao walked beside Zhang Yao and thought she was uncomfortable, and asked: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable, don't you worry too much about these things, although the war will bring a lot of casualties, but our strength is not enough to stop it, do our own thing, that is, to protect all people." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Zhang Xiao calmed down a little and explained: "What can I do, but I just thought of going to the artificial city, because we didn't treat it calmly, we almost lost our lives there, and now we haven't set off, hurry up and cultivate well, otherwise if we meet a cultivator in Jingzhou, we will be crushed again." ”

Zhang Xiao immediately understood what Zhang Xiao meant, and said: "I know, I will definitely be proficient in the exercises in the next few days, and there will definitely be no more dangerous situations." ”

Zhang Yao was about to become irrational by a group of people who were arguing with him, and just wanted to find a place to breathe, so he found a big tree nearby, and no matter what position it was, he meditated and breathed directly.

Zhang Xiao doesn't have the idea of pranayama immediately, although what Zhang Xiao said is very right, but he doesn't think there is any need to be so anxious, what he needs to do now is to get familiar with the current military camp, know the soldiers here, and see how they live on weekdays.

Zhang Xiao took a closer look at this location, and saw that this was part of the cooking camp, Zhang Xiao should not be disturbed by others to breathe here, and the shade of this big tree also happened to cover her, so that she would not be exposed to the scorching sun.

In order to be more safe, Zhang Xiao looked around and found that no one was paying attention here, so he said to Xiao Yang: "Xiao Yang, you protect your cousin here first, and I will pick you up later, but don't move if it's okay." ”

When Xiao Yang heard Zhang Xiao's words, he climbed down from his arm and gently wrapped it around Zhang Xiao's neck, not only did not strangle Zhang Yao, but brought her a trace of coolness, which was more conducive to meditation.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Zhang Xiao turned around and left, wanting to see how the soldiers here train on weekdays, and maybe he could join them and exercise his body.

After Zhang Xiao left, the little sheep stretched out four tentacles, and seemed to feel the unusual aura on Zhang Yao's body, and after feeling it for a while, he opened his mouth and began to suck it, but as soon as he inhaled it, the little sheep suddenly felt that the taste was very weird, and it was unbearable, so he retracted the tentacles and wrapped around Zhang Yao's neck motionlessly.

Zhang Xiao walked leisurely in the barracks, without the appearance of a soldier at all, and he was the only one who had nothing to do, even more idle than the main general Cao Ren.

After a careful inspection, Zhang Xiao found that there was nothing else to find here except the tent or the playground, no wonder the soldiers here were practicing all the time, even if they were fine, they were learning from each other, which was a kind of torment for himself.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhang Xiao finally decided to go to Gao Zhan, feeling that it might be an interesting thing to see him roll call now, so he walked in the direction of Xiumen in the Eight Gates, because Cao Ren said that this place is distributed according to Qimen Dunjia, and Xiumen is the auspicious gate, which belongs to the direction of rest and recuperation, and the barracks where the soldiers live should be there.

This point was really guessed by Zhang Xiao, and after coming to the residential camp, he saw that there were many huge tents set up neatly in order, which must be used by the soldiers for living, so he walked towards them.

But before Zhang Xiao approached the camp, someone called out to him from behind, saying, "General Zhang Xiao, General Zhang Xiao, please wait a minute." ”

Zhang Xiao was surprised to hear someone call his name, there should be few people who know him here, who is looking for him?

Zhang Xiao looked back, and found that it was Cao Ren's subordinate Niu Jin who called him, and he was followed by Zhu Jianping, I don't know what he was doing here, so he also walked in their direction.

Niu Jin came to Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhu has something to look for you, now that I have brought the person, then go back first, and you can talk slowly." ”

After Niu Jin left, Zhang Xiao immediately asked: "Why is Brother Zhu here today, I don't know what to do with me?" Cang Shu's death is also helpless, don't be too sad." ”

Zhu Jianping shook his head and said: "I am not saddened by Cangshu's death, death is his relief from everything, and now he is welcoming a new life." ”

Zhu Jianping said too profoundly, Zhang Xiao didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't know what the purpose of his coming here was, so he asked, "I don't know what Brother Zhu came to me today?"

Zhu Jianping said kindly: "Of course, I came for your southern expedition, I know that you are going to go south with the army, and I came to see you off, but your road is destined to be not smooth, and there will be fatal danger on the road, I see if I can help anything, after all, we are all descendants of the earth immortal lineage, and we should help each other." ”
