Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118
Although Li Jue is not a good person, but what he said is not wrong, no one in Chang'an city can believe it, Zhou Cang thinks including Liu Xie.The promise of the emperor is just to listen to, not to be true.

Coming out of the palace, Zhou Cang looked for a house in the city with great fanfare as a residence, believing that there are countless pairs of eyes watching his every move.

Sure enough, after going around a few houses, a soldier came to him, "General Zhou, Master Sima is here to invite you."

"Wei Guo, let me introduce you, General Zhang Ji." Li Jue said, and arranged for Zhou Cang to sit down and serve wine.

"Guo Wei stayed in the palace for so long, the emperor must have asked a lot?" Li Jue asked, Zhang Ji just watched with a smile.

"The childlike heart of the Son of Heaven is still there." Zhou Cang said carelessly, "He was very curious about my appearance, and even asked me how to become a general who is a traitor."

Li Jue and Zhang Ji nodded. If the emperor asked this, then Zhou Cang and Xiliang are inseparable from Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu, so they should be branded.Neither of them spoke.

Zhou Cang went on to write: "The Son of Heaven asked the princes of the Guandong again. When talking about the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao and others, he said that they had ulterior motives and their intentions could be punished. It was because they were ignorant of current affairs and left Luoyang."

Li Jue and Zhang Ji nodded again. This meant that they got to the point. It seemed that the emperor no longer trusted the princes of the Guandong.

"The Son of Heaven praised Tao Shijun a lot, but regretted that Tao Shijun is old and can no longer work hard. It is not easy to manage Xuzhou well."

Li Jue finally said, "When I was in Xiliang, I worked with Tao Shijun. He was nearly [-] years old at that time, and I'm afraid he is [-]-[-] now." The subtext is that there is nothing to worry about.

"What is Wei Guo doing walking around the streets?" Zhang Ji raised his glass and asked.

"I'm looking for a house to live in. Chang'an houses are expensive."

"Why didn't Wei Guo say earlier, don't spend that unjust money. After Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an, his house has been empty. Wait a while and ask my nephew Zhang Xiu to take you there. He is two years older than you. How close are you guys?" " Zhang Ji said, and glanced at Li Jue again, Li Jue remained calm.

"Then thank you, General, and I would like to offer a toast to both of you."

Zhou Cang got acquainted with Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, who rides a white horse and uses a tiger-headed golden spear, and is known as the spear king of the Northland.The reason why Li Jue and Guo Si were afraid of Zhang Ji was due to Zhang Xiu's bravery.Zhou Cang, Zhou Chong and Zhou Xi came to Lu Mansion under the leadership of Zhang Xiu.Zhou Xi was already familiar with the road, he pretended to look at the house calmly, but actually checked the rockery in the yard.

Zhou Xi nodded slightly at Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang said to Zhang Xiu: "Thank you General, this place is very nice. On the day of moving, please come to the house for a drink."

"You are welcome, General Zhou." Zhang Xiu arched his hands, "I heard that the state of Wei used Ma Yang as an arbiter, so I wonder if we can have a discussion?"

"Haha, okay, I can't wait for it. How about we have a competition after we settle down with the little brother?"

Lu Mansion was replaced by Zhou Mansion. Zhou Xi and Zhou Chong led hundreds of soldiers to renovate Zhou Mansion. The so-called renovation was actually cleaning, painting, leveling the garden, and eradicating weeds. Treasures, Zhou Cang saw that there were a lot of gold, silver, beautiful jade, and precious stones. There were three big boxes, which were estimated to be worth one billion yuan, and at least two to three million stones could be exchanged for grain.The soldiers brought the treasure back to the barracks in batches, arranged by Zhou Xi, and sent them back to Pengcheng in batches.

The Zhou Mansion is being renovated, and Zhou Cang, in order to attract the attention of interested people to himself, went to the school to compete in martial arts according to the agreement with Zhang Xiu.The two often won a hundred or ten rounds, and sometimes it was too late at night, so Zhou Cang stayed in Zhang Ji's mansion.

One day, when Zhou Cang and Zhang Xiu were resting in the battle, Zhou Cang suddenly remembered something: "General Zhang's marksmanship is like a pear blossom in a rainstorm, or like a bird facing a phoenix. I don't know where I learned it from?"

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Wei Guo Miao praises it. I am free to join the army with my uncle, and follow my uncle to fight in the north and south. It can be said that I grew up on horseback, and I should be proficient in spears and horses. As for marksmanship, Half of them are professor uncles, and the other half are bought by fighting in front of the two armies. If you kill too many people, you will inevitably be infected with a bit of murderous aura and ruthlessness. Only with a basic judgment of force and more confidence in one's own strength can one suppress the opponent."

Zhang Xiu went on to say: "What are the pear blossoms in the rainstorm, what are the birds facing the phoenix? They are the ideas of those Confucian scholars. It's hard for Weiguo to say that. I think it's just three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless."

Zhou Cang wrote it down carefully, this is the summary of experience. "Quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly tell the truth. It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of hard work behind it."

Zhang Xiu asked: "Could it be that Weiguo got advice from a famous teacher?"

Zhou Cang shook his head and said: "I have never worshiped any famous teacher. Although I have not fought on the battlefield like you, I often compete with a few brothers who are good at martial arts." Zhou Cang asked again: "Has the general heard of this?" Did you mention Tong Yuan, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun?"

Zhang Xiu thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I've never heard of it, why did Wei Guo ask this question? Who are these people?"

Zhou Cang was taken aback, Zhang Xiu hadn't heard of it, and Zhang Xiu probably wouldn't lie to himself.Said: "The general's title is the Northern Spear King. I heard that Zhang Ren is called the Xichuan Spear King. Tong Yuan is called the Penglai Spear God Sanren. He is Zhang Ren's master. He also has a closed disciple called Zhao Yun, who is about the same age as you and me." , It is said that they are all good marksmanship."

"Oh, there are people like this. I will meet for a while when I get the chance." Zhang Xiu clapped the tiger-headed gun in his hand, "Let's see who is the real gun king."

In Zhang Ji's mansion, "Xiu'er, you and Zhou Cang went to see the house, is he satisfied?"

"He is very satisfied and is very grateful to his uncle. He can move in in a few days after cleaning up. He also said that he invited us to drink."

"I heard that you are often together these two days, what do you think of him?"

"Zhou Cang's martial arts skills are not bad. I purposely only used [-]% of my strength, and I was able to draw with me. As for his behavior, he is also bold, not like a treacherous and cunning person. I think the utensils he bought for his new house are practical and not bad. Extravagant, the refurbishment of the house is only for cleanliness and livability, and he is not fake to the maidservants in the mansion. His subordinates are very disciplined, but it can be seen that they are soldiers rather than servants." Zhang Xiu described the two days Tell Zhang Ji, "In addition, according to my observation, these things are definitely not intentional in front of my eyes, but a habit."

"Military law is more important than family rules." Zhang Ji fell into long-term thinking, "What did Zhou Cang come to Chang'an to do, why did he follow Li Jue's way?"

"Uncle thinks too much, how can Chang'an not follow Li Jue's way now."

"Hehe, yes. Fenwei Zhonglang General? Guangling Prefect?" Zhang Ji said to himself, "I understand, Zhou Cang's intention is not in the capital, but in Guangling, he wants to be a prince! But how can he escape from Chang'an? "
