Zhang Xiu was in his tent. Although he was holding a military book in his hand, Zhang Xiu's eyes did not look at the military book in his hand, because he had more things to think about. He did not think less than Liu Bei, and even needed to think more. Because Zhang Xiu has always been waiting for a price, he is not as ambitious as Liu Bei. What he wants is not to fight for the world. Zhang Xiu also knows what kind of material he is. Although he inherited the mantle of his uncle Zhang Ji, he got a number.

The tens of elite Western Liang Iron Cavalry even expanded his army in Zhang Xiu's hands. Compared with his uncle Zhang Ji's time, the Western Liang army was much stronger. Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou were all brushing him, but Zhang Xiu could not control the area. In other words, he did not have the ability to become a prince. He was a general and could roam the battlefield. When it comes to marching and fighting, Zhang Xiu was really not bad. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry in his hands could roam and compete with him, but he could only fight and remained unmoved at all.

However, Zhang Xiu was much better than Gongsun Zan, Guo Si, Li Jue and others, and lived longer. That was because Zhang Xiu knew that he was not the material, so he wanted to join a big prince to rely on his capital to get rich. He originally liked Lao Cao, because Cao Cao was a candidate for a wise ruler in both military and political terms, so Zhang Xiu started to choose Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also happy. He could pull out such a Nanyang County that was thorny in his Yanzhou's eyes without using military and military skills, and he could also get the loyalty of tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry in Zhang Xiu's hands. Such a transaction was not a loss at all. The two sides were originally a win-win situation, but unfortunately something happened to the Zou family!

This led to Zhang Xiu killing Cao Ang, the heir of Lao Cao, the most relied on general Dian Wei, and his nephew Cao Anmin.

It can be said that Zhang Xiu defeated the way to surrender to Cao Cao. Because he surrendered to Lao Cao, the place where Liu Biao in Jingzhou was no longer a honeymoon period, so Zhang Xiu had to reconsider the candidate for the wise ruler. Liu Bei was originally a good candidate. This time he attacked Yangzhou, Liu Bei won Yangzhou and joined forces with him. He had two states in his hand, and the three elite soldiers of the Qingzhou army, the Qingzhou army, Yuzhou army. It can be said that Liu Bei was also a candidate for the wise ruler. However, Liu Bei was not only unable to attack Yangzhou, but instead threw away his troops and armor. He also lost the most elite soldiers in his hand. General Chen Dao

He died in battle. Although Zhang Xiu knew that Liu Bei was surrounded by the camp and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in order to save him, feelings are love. What Zhang Xiu wants is a prince, a man of great fortune, not a relationship. What Zhang Xiu owes Liu Bei, he can repay it with feelings. But he cannot exchange the future of the Xiliang army for his future. This is why Liu Bei sometimes negotiated with him and showed a reason why he wanted to surrender to him, but was rejected by Zhang Xiu. You, Liu Bei, now only have tens of thousands of troops. Yuzhou is even more exhausted. Why should I, Zhang Xiu, surrender to you? You don’t have the capital!

It was not easy for Zhang Xiu to reject Liu Bei! Because 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry was lost in the battle of Yangzhou, Zhang Xiu offended another person, that is Lu Bu! There are only a few people in the world who can win the world! He had long seen that although he had the name of the Eight Horses, his name was not worthy of it. Even if he had the ability, it was Liu Biao in his prime, not his twilight years now! There were even the gentry of the Cai family, the Kuai family, intertwined with each other, and the descendants of Liu Biao could not be sure of it. Zhang Xiu did not want to be a victim.

Cao Cao was a wise ruler, but he had offended him completely. Now Liu Bei's spare tire is not good. The only thing left is Sun Ce from Jiangdong. Don't doubt that Zhang Xiu did not have such a high vision. He could not see the foundation of various princes. The one who could give him these insights was Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in Wancheng, Nanyang. Jia Xu had been protecting himself since Dong Zhuo entered the capital. He was called a poisonous man because this person sacrificed countless people for himself. Dong Zhuo summoned him to be the three dukes and nine ministers. However, Jia Xu could see that Dong Zhuo was not a good master and refused Dong Zhuo's generous gift. Dong Zhuo did not ask Jia Xu and did not say anything! He was afraid that Jia Xu would be settled by Qiu Hou after the eighteen princes defeated Dong Zhuo.

The only unlucky ones who have been plotted against by Jia Xu were Wang Yun and Lu Bu, because Jia Xu wanted to protect himself. Wang Yun designed to kill Dong Zhuo and wanted to settle the score later. Although Jia Xu was not so conspicuous, he was also regarded as a must-killer by Wang Yun. Jia Xu saw that Wang Yun wanted to kill him, and there were only two ways, either to be killed with peace of mind or to kill Wang Yun first, so Jia Xu chose to kill Wang Yun first.

Guo Si and Li Jue chose to re-summon troops to attack Chang'an after being planned by Jia Xu! Otherwise, these two people would have been hidden in the market for a long time, so how could there be such a Chang'an Rebellion? Wang Yun was the one that Jia Xu must kill, because Wang Yun wanted Jia Xu to die!

However, Lu Bu was no longer on Jia Xu's killing list, and Jia Xu didn't want to offend too much, or Jia Xu was not sure to kill Lu Bu, so he sent information to Lu Bu before Li Ju and Guo Si attacked Chang'an. Otherwise, Lu Bu, who had no Chen Gong at that time, would have been a brainless person! Maybe Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Cult Camp had long been trapped in Chang'an!

Now Sun Ce is the only one left, Zhang Xiu calmed down! He planned to start uniting the army after returning to Wancheng, Nanyang this time. Liu Bei said that Zhang Xiu, who wanted to reorganize 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, would not want it, because he knew that Liu Bei was unable to protect himself, so how much money and food could be taken out in Yuzhou! Instead of making a fuss about everyone, it would be better to just stop thinking about it.

Zhang Xiu has also had a lot of background in Nanyang County over the years. He gave it to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, left by his uncle Zhang Ji, and he also robbed Zhang Xiu over the years and sold horses. To be honest, it is still fine to form a cavalry of 10,000 people. He went directly to Xiliang area to buy the horses! Zhang Lu in Hanzhong would not stop Zhang Xiu's troops buying horses. He could also go to Xiliang to summon the troops, or simply train the troops among the 30,000 infantry as cavalry! With tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry, he directly rushed his troops to contact Sun Ce in Jiangdong, attacked Jingzhou on both sides, and joined the Sun Ce army in Jiangdong with Jingzhou as a gift! Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but smile.

"Report to the lord, General Zhang Fei, under the command of the left general outside the tent, asked for a meeting!" Just as Zhang Xiu was thinking, a soldier from the Western Liang Iron Cavalry walked in and reported. The man was in a mess and was not young anymore. There was no trace of the elite of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Zhang Xiu's personal guard camp was originally composed of the elite of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, but they all died in the decisive battle with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but now they can only use these remaining soldiers!

"Zhang Fei? What did he do here?!" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment. You must know that Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei had a little friendship, but they didn't feel anything about Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei's mouth was really uncontrollable. He immediately put it on his mouth whenever he was upset. There are really a few people who can withstand Zhang Fei's mouth!

"I don't know this subordinate!" The messenger shook his head because Zhang Fei didn't say what he wanted to do when he came.

"Let him come in!" Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said. He didn't know why Zhang Fei was looking for him, but after all, he was Liu Bei's third brother, and he was also saved by him this time.

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and came out.

"General Zhang Fei, the lord let you go in and see him!" The messenger said to Zhang Fei.

"Yeah! I, Old Zhang, understand!" Zhang Fei nodded and said, about to walk into the camp. Suddenly, he said to the two Xiliang Iron Knights guarding outside the tent, "Go to my elder brother's front army camp. I heard that they caught a wild boar. Although there were not many, they could have a sip of hot soup if they went there now!"

"Ahh, really?!" A Xiliang Iron Knight next to him was drooling. Their escape these days had already made them very troubled. They were worried and scared every day. They also had to bear the bites of mosquitoes. Even the food was a mess. They could only eat dry food with some mountain spring water. A bird had faded out of their mouths. Now, when they heard that there was meat, they naturally drooled. Even if they couldn't eat meat, it would be good to drink a sip of soup!

"Hmm? General Zhang Fei? Isn't General Zuo not letting fire be made? How could there be broth?!" Another soldier from the Western Liang Iron Cavalry next to him became suspicious. Because he was afraid that the smoke from the fire would expose the behavior of the entire large army, Liu Bei's order was to not let fire be made, and food was eaten raw.

"This, this!" Zhang Fei was about to explain something, because Zhang Fei really would not make up some reasons.

Fortunately, the Xiliang army who had just passed the order gave an explanation to the Xiliang army, "Why did General Zuo not let fire be allowed? He was afraid that he would be caught by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Now in this dense forest, even if the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was discovered, would they still dare to come in!" The Xiliang iron cavalry had long been unhappy with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. They were Xiliang iron cavalry, and they were also heavy armored cavalry. It would be fine if they could not defeat the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but now they were afraid of being chased, so they even lost their war horses! How could these heavy armored cavalry swallow this? The war horses were the second life of these cavalrymen. "Go quickly, otherwise it would be too late to go, and they might not even be able to drink soup." There was just a wild boar, and Liu Bei's army had thousands of people! Even if Liu Bei was very good to the Xiliang cavalry, these Xiliang cavalry had a good impression of Liu Bei, but they really couldn't even drink soup.

"No, we should protect our lord's guard!" The Xiliang Iron Cavalry shook his head. Although he was not Zhang Xiu's guard, he was once a guard of a thousand generals of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he knew to be loyal to his duties.

"The lord needs your protection?" Another Western Liang Iron Cavalry showed disdain. His lord's martial arts are so superb. He has personal guards just to better promote his subordinates. And now they are all in the dense forest, where will there be danger? Could it be General Zuo?

"If you want to go, you will go! I'll stay here!" He frowned. He could not stop his robes from eating hot food, but it was not good to put his lord here for a bite of hot food, and he couldn't do it.

"If you can't get it, I'll go by myself!" The Xiliang Iron Cavalry expressed a hint of disdain. "You'll just have a blowout here! General Zhang Fei, thank you!"

As he said that, Zhang Fei hugged and said with a fist.

"No thanks, no thanks!" Zhang Fei also twitched his lips and showed a smile. He looked down on the soldier who gave up his lord and went to eat hot food. If it were normal, Zhang Fei would have scolded him long ago, but for the military advisor's task, he smiled hard.

Only one of them left Zhang Xiu's camp. Zhang Fei looked at the man's leaving figure and stopped for a long time.

"General Zhang Fei, why haven't you entered the lord's tent yet? Don't let the lord wait in a hurry!" The Iron Knight in Xiliang beside him kindly reminded.

"Well, Old Zhang knows it!" Zhang Fei nodded, and suddenly Zhang Fei's eyes widened behind Xiliang Iron Cavalry, "There is there!"

"What?!" Looking at Zhang Fei's exaggerated expression, thinking that Zhang Fei had seen something, the Xiliang Iron Knight quickly turned his head. After he turned, he could never turn. He could only hear a cracking sound, and a sound of a broken neck sounded.

Zhang Fei carefully put the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the side of the head of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was completely exhausted. The wide eyes looked at Zhang Fei, as if asking why.

"Sorry, brother, I, Lao Zhang, don't think so!" Zhang Fei said his true words. Compared to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had just left, he admired the one in front of him more because he was loyal to his duties, but he also lost his life because of his loyalty to his duties. "When things happen here, I, Lao Zhang, will definitely be buried with you!"

After dragging the Xiliang Iron Cavalry into the dense forest, Zhang Fei then patted his body and walked towards Zhang Xiu's tent~!

Such a scene appears in every corner of Zhang Xiu's camp. Some people are greedy for a bite of hot food, and some are loyal to their duties. However, because there are too many people, Zhang Fei cannot solve it directly. However, even so, nearly half of Zhang Xiu's army camp left the camp.
