Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 511
When the army entered Malacanda, Jia Xu immediately handed over the command to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo refused a few times before accepting. He entered the city with a large number of people. Guishuang soldiers were escorted around, lowered their heads, not daring to face up to the army entering the city. After Dong Zhuo entered the city, he rushed all the way to the palace of the former King of Sogdia.

This is really not a mansion, it is resplendent, with all kinds of carvings on the wall, and various statues made of gold, Dong Zhuo thought in his heart that probably all the money in the city was used to build this palace, before the palace, There was a person, with four or five Han soldiers standing behind him, who was waiting. When he saw Dong Zhuo approaching, the person hurried over.

He said something hastily in Guishuang language, Dong Zhuo turned his head, and the translator on the side stepped forward and said to Dong Zhuo:
"Dong Gong, he said that he is the original city lord of Malacanda, the tax collector, and he is willing to surrender to the army. In addition, he also brought all the merchants he captured earlier." Hearing what he said, Dong Zhuo became anxious. , quickly asked: "Where are those merchants?"

The translator asked, and the tax official immediately yelled a few times behind him, and saw four or five barefoot slaves in chains, leading a large group of people, coming out of the palace. The tax official was a little worried Looking at them, he looked at Dong Zhuo beside him. Sweat was dripping from his forehead, and he was very worried. Dong Zhuo got off his horse immediately.

Those merchants were still a little afraid at first, but when they saw the oncoming Han army, they burst into tears. When they were on the verge of despair, they saw the most familiar army. They never thought that for their sake These lowly businessmen, the big men would actually send troops from the Western Regions, and they would not hesitate to start a war with Guishuang.

These people rushed in front of the army and knelt down to Dong Zhuo's army.

Dong Zhuo walked up to them with a belly out, smiling, and helped the leader up. The leader was also quite old, and although he was poorly dressed, he didn't seem to have suffered any crimes. He even showed signs of being beaten. No, Dong Zhuo helped him up and said: "Everyone, there is no need to be like this. I will follow the emperor's order and come to rescue you!"

"Your Majesty is merciful! General Gao Yi!!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!! General Gao Yi!"

The merchants shouted one after another. Dong Zhuo led the leader and ordered Huang Zhong to arrange the soldiers and merchants, and then entered the palace with the rest. The palace was empty, but there was no trace of damage or looting. It was fine, which made Dong Zhuo a little strange. After entering the palace and sitting on the former throne of the King of Sogdia, Dong Zhuo moved his body.

"Dare to ask the old man, what's your name?"

The merchant couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart for a long time, and after a long pause, he said: "The old man from Yizhou is called Zhang Xi." Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "So it's Mr. Zhang."

"It shouldn't be called that"

"Mr. Zhang...how did you fall into their hands?"

Zhang Xi sighed, and then told the story from the beginning. It turned out that they had just finished their trade in the south and returned to the north. As a result, when they reached Malacanda, a rebellion broke out in Malacanda. Regardless of their identities, they directly arrested and robbed their supplies. Although some people managed to escape, the group of them who walked to the rear were caught.

After bringing them back to Malacanda, they had to be slaves. Many people directly killed themselves because they did not want to be humiliated. A few days ago, the tax officer rescued them, arranged them in the palace, entertained them all day long, and did not insult them or hurt them, so they were released today.

Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, then exchanged pleasantries with this man for a while before letting him leave.

When everyone left, Jia Xu smiled and said: "This tax official is interesting. Isn't it the time when our army entered the Western Regions three months ago? He left a way out for himself a long time ago. If you are expensive Shuang Sheng, these are his captive exploits, if the big man wins, then he is a merchant who entertained the big man, his heart is good for the big man, good, good!"

Seeing that Jia Xu said three good things in a row, Dong Zhuo was a little curious. He had never seen Jia Xu praise others so much. He ordered the soldiers to bring the tax official and the translator, and soon , the tax officer came to them with a smile, bowed to Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo looked at him seriously, this man smelled of copper all over his body.

The whole body is bloated, different from Dong Zhuo, although Dong Zhuo is a little fatter, but he is burly and powerful, and different from the emperor, the emperor is the majesty of the superior, but he is bloated, obese, he wears all kinds of exotic decorations There are gold rings on the neck and arms, and the clothes on the body are also made of silk. Silk is extraordinarily precious in Guishuang.

With a hypocritical merchant-like smile on his face, and his waist bent, no matter how you look at it, he is undoubtedly a proper villain.

"What's your name?" Jia Xu asked.

After the translator translated, the man quickly said: "My name is Nizada. The Chinese name is Zhang Da."

"Oh? And Chinese names??" Jia Xu smiled and asked again: "Why do you want to protect these merchants?"

"I heard that the Great Han Heavenly Army is approaching, and I know that Guishuang's weak strength is irresistible, so I protect these merchants, hoping to spare me the death penalty!" He looked at Dong Zhuo and said seriously. After the translator translated, Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, Jia Xu looked at Dong Zhuo at the side, then at him again, and said softly, "This man is cunning, don't keep him, take him out and kill him."

He stared at the tax officer closely, and just after he finished speaking, he saw the tax officer trembling all over. Jia Xu showed a smile and said, "You understand elegant words!!"

"I've only studied for a few days, but I haven't learned enough, and I dare not show my abilities in front of the lords. Forgive me, Lord Jia!" The man immediately fell to his knees and said tremblingly. Jia Xu laughed, but Dong Zhuo Dumbfounded, looking at the two, unable to speak, Jia Xu waved his hand and said, "Get up, just follow me in the future, I still need your help for everything in Guishuang."

"Don't dare to refuse!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your kindness!"

The man bowed again, and Jia Xu let him go out. Seeing him leave, Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu and asked, "How did the Taiwei know that he can speak well?" Jia Xu shook his head. , said: "He told me."

Dong Zhuo still didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. If he continued to ask, wouldn't he look stupid, not as good as Jia Xu?He nodded and said with a smile: "So that's how it is, wonderful, wonderful!" Pretending to be sober, Jia Xu looked at him without revealing.

"Dong Gong, now that Malacanda has been taken, and Guishuang's reinforcements have not yet arrived, I wrote a letter to Guishuang King earlier, expressing my anger at their detainment of my merchants, and said that the big man wants to fight with them Start a war. In order to avenge their hatred, I vowed to break through their royal city and cut off his head to pay homage to our dead merchants."

"Dead people? Merchants? Aren't they all right?"

"Hehe, who said it's all right? Didn't some warriors refuse to be humiliated and committed suicide? Mr. Dong, tell the whole army to pay homage to these common people. We want to avenge them." Jia Xu said, Dong Zhuo nodded, Now that he has seen Jia Xu's many methods, he is also impressed by him in his heart, and he can listen to Jia Xu's words.

"It's easy, but you wrote such a letter to King Guishuang, wouldn't it anger him?"

"I told him that I would lead the North and South Army with 50 horses to conquer Sogdia and break through the royal city. If I guessed correctly, he is now mobilizing soldiers to build a defensive position on the other side of the river, preparing to resist our 50 troops. Where are the troops!" Jia Xu said with a smile, and Dong Zhuo laughed out loud when he heard this, and then he understood why the enemy's reinforcements did not come for so long.

"Dong Gong, we have just captured this place, the situation is unstable, and it will take time to repair the soldiers and stabilize this place. In order to delay it for a while, I still hope that Dong Gong can make a large-scale attack on the south. The bigger the better"

"Hahaha, okay, I'll let Huang Zhonghou do it now! However, the Taiwei must be careful in the future, your letter must have made King Guishuang hate you so much, he gritted his teeth!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile .

"No problem, that letter was signed by Mr. Dong"

Jia Xu walked out of the palace and went to the school grounds. Under the leadership of the soldiers, Jia Xu came to a house in the school grounds and asked the soldiers to guard the door. Jia Xu walked in by himself, and Ni Sejia was sitting in the room , holding a book in his hand, was flipping through, saw Jia Xu walking in, he ignored him, Jia Xu sat beside him, looked at him, and said: "These days are so troublesome."

"How can you bother? It's Taiwei Gong, in order to expand the territory and wantonly attack, how tiring it is." Ni Sejia said, raised his head, stared at Jia Xu, and said: "When the Taiwei brought me here He said he was here to put down the rebels and stabilize the border around the big man. I believed it to be true. Today, I learned that it turns out that what Duke Taiwei is thinking about is still the military exploits and the territory."

Jia Xu walked in front of him, sat down, lowered his head, looked at the books on his wooden case, and said, "What are you reading?"

"Spring and Autumn!"

"Oh, so do I!" Jia Xu said, looking at Ni Sejia, he said angrily: "Originally, I was only here to quell the rebellion, and even, I only let Mr. Dong accompany an army of less than [-] people." , but what? The rebel army has been suppressed, but your nephew refused to return the captured people and executed them!!"

"Foreign barbarians, cruelty to our people, how can I bear it?? Respect the king and fight against the barbarians, the revenge of nine generations, especially revenge!!!" Jia Xu roared angrily, Ni Sejia was dumbfounded, he looked at the front of him Jia Xu thought for a moment, and asked, "What is your Excellency treating?"

"I cured "Gongyang Chunqiu"! He Zi, a great scholar, is also my grandfather!" Jia Xu said resolutely.

Ni Sejia's eyes darkened, oh my god, he is a madman who treats rams, no wonder he is so irritable!His face softened, and he said: "Now, if you break through this place, you can be regarded as revenge. This..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Xu interrupted him directly, and said: "Huh, King Guishuang refused to apologize for a day, and this hatred will be recorded in my heart all day. Today's Malacanda people, You still have a lot of complaints about my big man!!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ni Sejia's face paled suddenly, and he said quickly: "Mr. Jia, what is the crime of the people? You wait first, and I will tell them that they still respect me. I will revise the book for a while." Feng, give it to my nephew and ask him to make an apology. Please don’t be impatient, Mr. Jia.” Hearing his frantic persuasion, Jia Xu was still a little annoyed.

"you?"

"Can you manage this place well?"

"Naturally."

"Forget it, from tomorrow onwards, you will go to comfort the people. If I hear someone insulting my big man, I will immediately"

"I know, I know"

After finally sending Jia Xu away, Ni Sejia sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty, why did you send a man to treat the rams?" ! !
