Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 457 Zhang Yang's Choice

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, although my subordinates have never had any contact with Zhang Yang, they all say that he is loyal and benevolent. My lord might as well ask the emperor to write an imperial edict to Zhang Yang, asking him to serve as an official in the court."

After a pause, Jia Xu continued, "If Zhang Yang goes there willingly, it will be a happy event for everyone; if he doesn't want to come, there will be no loss to the lord. What do you think, lord?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu scolded with a smile: "With such a good plan, why didn't you come here earlier?"

Jia Xu smiled and shook her head, put her hands into her wide sleeves and said nothing.

Lu Bu didn't blame Jia Xu for anything after seeing it, he was just like this, no matter how much Lu Bu said, it would be in vain.

After Jia Xu offered his plan, Lu Bu did not send any troops to Bingzhou, so he asked Liu Bian to issue an edict to Zhang Yang first, so he did not worry about the delay.

After Lu Bu entered the palace, Liu Bian quickly wrote the imperial edict, stamped it with a jade seal, and sent it to Shangdang in Bingzhou by Xiao Huangmen.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Zhang Yang was ecstatic, and directly sent someone to summon Dong Zhao, who was about to send troops.

Seeing the bewildered Dong Zhao, Zhang Yang carefully handed over the imperial edict in his hand to Dong Zhao.

After Dong Zhao took the edict and read it, his face was very ugly.

But Zhang Yang, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice this scene, and with Zhang Yang's temperament, even if he noticed it at this time, he wouldn't bother.

Dong Zhao asked with a gloomy face, "My lord, what do you think?"

Zhang Yang replied without hesitation: "The Son of Heaven called me to be an official in the court, and I must follow the will of the Son of Heaven."

Dong Zhao asked Zhang Yang with an expression of "angry and indisputable", "My lord, what should we do?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The emperor mentioned this matter in the edict, ordering you to be under the control of the general in the future, and the general will send people to take over Shangdang and Xihe in a few days."

Dong Zhao's head got dizzy after hearing this, seeing that Bingzhou was about to be obtained, but his master wanted to go to Ji County to be an official at this juncture?

Just when Dong Zhao was struggling with how to persuade Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang said, "By the way, along with the imperial edict, there is also the handwriting of the general. The general stated in the letter that in three days, his general Zhang Liao will lead the army for five days." Wan came to Bingzhou to conquer disobedient ministers, and those who dared to resist were punished as traitors and thieves, and those who committed serious crimes wiped out the three clans."

After Zhang Yang's words fell, Dong Zhao's face turned pale, destroying the three clans?That would no longer be a sinner of the family!
Immediately, Dong Zhao understood that the general was bound to win Bingzhou, and his two-pronged behavior had already explained everything.

What a combination of hard and soft!Dong Zhao secretly praised it.

It's no wonder that the general has achieved a lot of hegemony at such a young age. Such means and temperament are really rare in the world.

Suddenly, Dong Zhao had a glimmer of expectation about switching to Lu Bu's command. It seemed that it was a good choice to work under such a lord.

But at the moment Dong Zhao is still a subject of Zhang Yang, so Dong Zhao asked responsibly: "Master, have you really made up your mind? If you don't want to become an official in Beijing, you only need to shrink your troops until the eldest son sticks to it, and the eldest son will be in the city soon." It will not be breached."

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head: "At this point, is it meaningful to fight trapped beasts? Being an official in Beijing can not only save your life, but also your reputation. Gongren, you know that I always value reputation more than life."

Having said that, Zhang Yang didn't continue to speak, because Dong Zhao could understand what he was going to say next.

Dong Zhao nodded silently after hearing this, and then bowed to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "I'll take my family to Ji County after cleaning up. You can recall Yang Chou and Guan Hai, and just wait here for the general."

Dong Zhao cupped his hands and said, "I would like to follow my lord's orders!"

Zhang Yang got up and patted Dong Zhao's shoulder: "Gongren, I have wronged you for following me these few years! The general is a rare enlightened master. Following the general from now on, your future is bound to be limitless."

Dong Zhao said respectfully: "Thank you, my lord, for your teaching!"

Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hands again: "Go down! I have to clean up!"

Dong Zhao bowed and said, "This subordinate will leave!"

……

On this day, while marching, Gongsun Zan suddenly received a letter from Ju Yi.

It turned out that Ju Yi took advantage of the lax defense of Yanmen Gate and led his troops to capture Yanmen Pass, and now he is rushing towards the Yin Hall.

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed when he saw it, he really wanted to sleep so he came to the pillow, worrying about the lack of troops to attack the Yin Hall, Ju Yi rushed back!
With Ju Yi's help, Gongsun Zan's heart suddenly became clear, and he no longer frowned as before.

After reuniting with Ju Yi, Gongsun Zan praised Ju Yi fiercely. Ju Yi is a proud person, and he loves to hear these flattery words, and he said some big words.

Gongsun Zan frowned when he heard this, but it was time to employ people, and since Ju Yi had just made great achievements, Gongsun Zan couldn't blame him.

After joining forces, excluding the defenders of Yanmen Pass and Dingxiang County, Gongsun Zan had [-] cavalry, [-] infantry and [-] crossbowmen under his command, totaling more than [-].

Why do you have to use the word "余" every time?This is because the logistics soldiers are not counted in the battle order, but they are indeed accompanying the army, and it is really impossible without them during the march!
Although people generally don't go to battle, you can't count them as human beings, right?Besides, when it comes to the critical moment of life and death, these logistics soldiers will also join the battle with the guys.

Upon hearing the news of Gongsun Zan's march, Ge Wu, Zheng San, Ma Yi, and Ma Xiu hurriedly gathered together to discuss matters.

"This guy came really fast!" Ge Wu said with a curled lip.

"Who says it's not! We've only stayed in this hell house for a few days, and this man can't sit still!" Zheng San echoed.

"Xiu'er, what do you think?" Ma Yi turned his attention to Ma Xiu.

"Let me think twice." Ma Xiu cupped his hands.

After a long time, Ma Xiu said happily: "Patriarch, this subordinate has an idea!"

Ma Yi slapped his thigh happily: "Say it!"

Ma Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, we can open the gate of the Yin Pavilion and let Gongsun Zan enter the city."

"puff!"

After hearing this, Ge Wu, who was drinking water, sprayed Zheng San with a mouthful of water.

Zheng San wiped his face in embarrassment, what is this called?
"Brother Zheng, don't blame me, I really can't hold back." Ge Wu said apologetically.

"It's okay, just a few trivial matters." Zheng San said quickly.

"What kind of bad idea did you come up with? Let Gongsun Zan enter the city? Then where shall we go?" Ge Wu said, staring at Ma Xiu.

"Brother Ge, can you listen to Xiu'er finish?" Ma Yi sneered.

"Then go ahead! I want to see if you can tell the truth today!"

Ge Wu's words were not too polite, because what Ma Xiu said was really unbelievable.

Although Zheng San who was wiping the water did not speak, his eyes were full of doubts about Ma Xiu.

From the beginning to the end, only Ma Yi stood by Ma Xiu's side and believed in Ma Xiu unconditionally.

Ma Xiu cast a grateful look at Ma Yi, and then Ma Xiu began to talk about his strategy.

　The second watch arrives!
