At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos!
The world was barren, hungry, and chaotic. The eunuchs and relatives were dissolute and disorderly, the imperial power declined, and the princes were divided. First, the three Julu people, Zhang Jiao and his brothers, started the Yellow Turban Rebellion! It broke the 400-year-old fragile shell of the Great Han!
Later, there was the rebellion of the Ten Changshi! After killing General He Jin, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others under General He Jin avenged him and led their troops into the palace. Zhang Rang and Guo Sheng kidnapped Emperor Liu Bian and Prince Liu Xie to the Yellow River. They were surrounded by the army and committed suicide!
In the end, Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong, took the greatest credit for saving the emperor and led his troops into Luoyang.
However, Dong Zhuo carried out the abolition and establishment of Emperor Han, and compared himself to Yin and Huo. He went to court with a sword in his hand, did not kneel down, slept in the palace at night, and caused trouble in the palace. He was cruel and heartless, so he used torture to coordinate with the people. The slightest resentment would be pulled out, and people would not be able to protect themselves!
Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior finally aroused the anger and resistance of the people. Cao Cao, one of the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, once attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone. After failing, he joined forces with Yuan Shao to crusade against Dong Zhuo. When the warlords in the east of the country saw this, they raised an army in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. The vassals attacked Dong, and there were 18 vassals in total.
After Dong Zhuo's defeat, the once-powerful Western Liang Army had also come to an end.
The first year of Jian 'an, early spring.
Nanyang County, Lushan County.
Looking around, the streets of the city were desolate and sparsely populated. The only passers-by were also in a hurry, walking quickly, afraid of getting into trouble.
At this moment, in the General's Mansion.
More than a dozen people in the hall were all dressed in white clothes, and their faces were full of grief. One of them was a beautiful woman who was kneeling on the ground. Her filial piety clothes could not hide her beauty. Looking at the man covered in white cloth, he would cover his face with his sleeve from time to time and sob softly.
Zhang Xiu pursed his lips. Although he had been here for an hour, he was still a little flustered.
From his memories, he knew that the person lying in front of him was Zhang Ji, and the beautiful woman kneeling beside him was Madam Zou.
The group of powerful men in the hall were all Zhang Ji's troops. As for the leading scholar, it was the Poison Warrior Jia Xu. Jia Xu's pupils were deep, as if he was calculating something in his heart.
He was Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Zhang Ji.
Zhang Xiu vaguely remembered that under Boss Dog's coercion, he had to stay up all night and work overtime every day. In the end, his blood and qi attacked his heart, and he vomited more than three liters of blood before he died on the keyboard. Even a martial artist like him could not withstand the high intensity of 996,997. It was obvious how terrifying the power was!
Who would have thought that the moment he opened his eyes, it was actually the end of the Han Dynasty? Moreover, it possessed the Northern Spear King, Zhang Xiu.
As for the current situation, Zhang Ji's army ran out of food, left Guanzhong, went to Nanyang, attacked Rang County, and Zhang Ji was killed by stray arrows.
If he remembered correctly, Zhang Xiu, who was also him, would lead the army under Liu Biao to guard Nanyang.
In the spring of the following year, Cao Cao led his army to attack. Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's words and surrendered to Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao liked other people's wives and sang and danced with the Zou family every night. This angered Zhang Xiu and led to a rebellion. Cao Cao's elder Cao Ang, his personal guard General Dian Wei, and his nephew Cao Anmin all died.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu glanced at the woman beside him. Her peach-colored cheeks and almond-shaped face were extremely beautiful, giving people an extremely possessive feeling. It was no wonder that his wife couldn't control herself.
"Everyone, General Zhang Xiu is a chivalrous man and Zhang Ji's son. It is only right that General Zhang Xiu should lead us.”Lei Xu stepped out and spread his hands as he said boldly.
"That's right. We should follow the path of our father and follow the laws of nature. We should worship General Zhang Xiu as our master.”Zhang Xian agreed.
These two were considered Zhang Ji's right-hand men when he was alive.
Everyone looked at each other, bowed their heads and cupped their fists. Their expressions were resolute and cold as they shouted in unison,"We pay our respects to my lord. I hope that my lord will be determined to avenge General Zhang Ji.”
Zhang Xiu's face twitched. He pressed his hands together and pretended to be calm. His adaptability was still very strong. No matter what, he had read a lot of novels about the Three Kingdoms in his previous life. Moreover, martial artists more or less had a desire for the Three Kingdoms.
"I will definitely remember Uncle's revenge. However, now that our army is exhausted and our rations are tight, the most important thing now is to let uncle rest and solve the problem of rations before thinking of anything else.”
As he spoke, Zhang Xiu waved his hand to signal for the guards to carry Zhang Ji's body out of the General's Mansion, and had someone bring his aunt, Madam Zou, back to her room to rest.
After doing all this, he turned his gaze to Jia Xu. He was known as the number one poison warrior in the world and was also known for his meticulous planning. Looking at the entire three countries 'strategists, he could also be ranked in the top five.
However, although this person was very intelligent, he was not useful to him. In history, he was the one who made Zhang Xiu surrender at the beginning of the next spring. He had to think of some countermeasures.
"Wen He, what do you think of the current situation?”
Jia Xu slowly raised his head. His wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly, and a pair of hawk-like eyes looked at Zhang Xiu.
Strange, very strange.
He had known Zhang Xiu for a long time, but the latter had always been reckless and had the habits of a tough bandit from Western Liang. However, this time, he actually knew how to avoid it and specially asked him for advice. It was very strange.
"General, the most important thing is to find a place to settle down. Nanyang is a place where there are four battles. Cao Cao is in the north and Yuan Shu is in the east.
However, our army is running out of food and horses, and our soldiers are defeated. This is the only place we can stand on. General, you can write to Liu Biao and ask him to guard Nanyang and resist the enemy for you.”
"Guard Nanyang?"
Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked," But Wenhe, although Nanyang is a battleground, it is still a rare county with a large population. Moreover, Nanyang has a vast expanse of fertile land and is known as the hometown of the emperor. How can Liu Biao hand it over to me?"”
Jia Xu shook his head and chuckled.
"No, Nanyang is good, but it is a strategic location. On the surface, Jing State was stable, but in reality, there were endless family conflicts. Moreover, Jingnan was not under Liu Biao's control. How could he dare to send troops to garrison Nanyang?”
"As long as General sends him a letter, Liu Biao will gladly accept it, and Nanyang will belong to General.”When he said this, Jia Xu cupped his hands and smiled lightly. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cunning expression.
Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that Jia Xu was indeed not simple. In a few words, he described the current situation in Jingzhou. However, he probably tricked him into guarding Nanyang in order to join Cao Cao!
He was indeed a crafty old fox!
"After listening to Wen He's words, Xiu suddenly became enlightened.”
"However, Wenhe, Nanyang is a strategic point and has no danger to defend. Moreover, Cao Cao had the ambition to be a hero, so how could he tolerate the sudden emergence of a new force in his own hinterland?”
After saying that, Zhang Xiu stared at Jia Xu with a grave expression.
Others did not know who Jia Xu was, but Zhang Xiu was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and was very familiar with this person.
Poison Warrior Jia Xu was a self-interested person. He had sought refuge with him, but he was just using each other. Therefore, if he wanted this person to teach him everything, he had to have some means.
