The distance was too close, Zhang Ji didn't have time to dodge, and the arrow instantly shot into his heart.Zhang Ji clutched his heart and fell off the horse.The sergeants who were besieging the city saw that Zhang Ji was hit by an arrow, and hurriedly rushed back to rescue him, and several soldiers raised their shields to block the second arrow fired by Wen Ping."
General.""
General, wake up.""
No, this arrow hit the general's vital point.""
Send the general back to the rescue.""
What about the military doctor," the soldiers said in a panic, picking up Zhang Ji and running back.At this time, Zhang Ji woke up, but there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he knew that the arrow was critical, and he was hopeless.Zhang Ji said with all his might: "Go and pass my order, the whole army retreats and retreats to Nanyang." ”A general responded: "Obey the order" Zhang Ji said: "After I die, let my nephew Zhang Xiu lead the whole army and divide Nanyang" All the generals responded in unison: "Obey" Zhang Ji spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped breathing.The soldiers carried away Zhang Ji's body, and quietly informed the besieging troops to retreat.By the time Wen Ping learned that Zhang Ji was dead, it was too late to go out of the city to chase him.Zhang Ji's body was carried back to Nanyang, Zhang Xiu was grief-stricken, wept bitterly, and personally guarded Zhang Ji's soul.Jia Xu hurriedly convened a meeting of generals, and according to Zhang Ji's last order, Zhang Xiu was recommended to take over Nanyang and take charge of the army.After Zhang Ji's funeral, Zhang Xiu prepared to raise troops to go south to avenge his uncle.Jia Xu came to stop him: "Liu Biaodi has a large number of soldiers, and he will undoubtedly commit suicide by raising troops to take revenge." ”Zhang Xiu said: "Uncle's revenge cannot be avenged. ”Jia Xu said: "Although Zhang Ji died at the hands of Liu Biao, he actually let Dong Zhuo die, and Dong Zhuo is the culprit. ”Zhang Xiu asked: "How to understand" Jia Xu said: "Do you know that Dong Zhuo wants to get the Zou family" Zhang Xiu said angrily: "I know, I will not let Dong Zhuo go." ”Jia Xu said again: "Dong Zhuo deliberately withheld military rations in order to snatch your aunt, forcing your uncle to go south to grab grain, but he died.Therefore, it was Liu Biao who killed your uncle on the surface, but in fact, the reason is still on Dong Zhuo. ”Zhang Xiu was furious: "Nima, I want to raise troops to attack Chang'an." ”Jia Xu joked: "The time is not yet ripe, our strength is weak, and we must think in the long run." ”Zhang Xiu knew that Jia Xu was good at scheming, so he asked: "Can the military adviser have a good strategy" Jia Xu said: "Our military food is in danger, we must first try to get grain and grass, otherwise everything is empty talk." ”Zhang Xiu said: "I am willing to listen to the words of the military advisor." ”Jia Xu nodded and said, "The general pretended to bow to Dong Zhuo and asked Dong Zhuo to allocate military rations. ”Zhang Xiu was stunned: "Dong Zhuo will be willing" Jia Yi said: "The general wrote in the letter that he would obey Dong Zhuo's control from now on, and then hinted that he would sacrifice the Zou family, and Dong Zhuo would believe it." ”Zhang Xiu was silent, nor did she disagree.Jia Xu said again: "In order to appease you and get the Zou family, Dong Zhuo must allocate a large amount of grain and grass.Once the general gets the grain and grass, he will have no worries, and he can cut off Nanyang and stand on his own, and no one will be afraid of anyone. ”Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, so he acted in accordance with Jia Xu's strategy, and sent someone to send a letter to Chang'an, imploring Dong Zhuo to allocate grain and grass.When Dong Zhuo heard the news of Zhang Ji's death, he was very happy in his heart, and the Zou family was ready.But when he heard that Zhang Xiu had taken over Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but worry, for fear that this young guy would not obey his control.At this time, Zhang Xiu's letter arrived, and he opened it and couldn't help but be overjoyed.In his letter, Zhang Xiu claimed to be a subordinate, and his attitude was sincere, expressing his obedience to Dong Zhuo's control, and hoping that Dong Zhuo would appoint him to guard Nanyang and allocate him 30,000 stone of military rations.At the same time, it was also hinted that Zhang Ji's widow was helpless and ready to be sent back to Chang'an to live.When Li Ru heard that Zhang Xiu's letter had arrived, he immediately rushed to find Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo handed the letter to Li Ru, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu really knows the current affairs, and the Zou family is just around the corner." ”After reading the letter, Li Ru said: "There are almost no flaws, and there are too many military rations that you want." ”Dong Zhuo said: "The sharpshooter Zhang Xiu, who fought with Lu Bu for two hundred rounds under the city of Nanyang, is a rare talent, ten times stronger than Zhang Ji.I don't have a strong general under my command, and I need a strong general like Zhang Xiu to compete with other princes for the world in the future. ”Li Ru said: "However, he asked for 30,000 stone of military rations, which is too much.At present, the drought has not passed, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and Chang'an's military rations are not rich. ”Dong Zhuo disagreed: "It's enough to levy more grain from all over the country." ”Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Zhang Xiu got 30,000 stone of military rations, and his army can support it for six months, what if he rebels" Dong Zhuo smiled: "Zhang Xiu knows that I like the Zou family, and he hinted in the letter to sacrifice the Zou family, which shows his sincerity." ”Li Ru frowned: "Use 30,000 stone of military rations for a woman, this is also true" Dong Zhuo categorically: "It's also worth it" Since Dong Zhuo said so, Li Ru couldn't say anything anymore, anyway, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason, but 30,000 stone of military rations was too much, so he persuaded Dong Zhuo to reduce it by half.Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Then give 20,000." ”Li Ru frowned: "It's too much." ”Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Zhang Xiu is a talent, I want to accept it, I will give 20,000 stones." ”Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo had made up his mind, so he obeyed his instructions, transferred 20,000 stones of rice from the granary, and ordered someone to send it to Nanyang as soon as possible.Nanyang's military rations are empty, Zhang Xiu is restless, after tomorrow, the army will have no food to eat, what to do is Jia Xu is very calm, he believes that Dong Zhuo's food will arrive soon.Sure enough, in the evening, the grain and grass allocated by Dong Zhuo were sent to Nanyang, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and Nanyang's urgent need was solved.Under the guidance of Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu strengthened the city, sorted out the army, and prepared to resist Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo waited left and right, and he didn't see Zhang Xiu sending Zou back to Chang'an, so he couldn't wait, so he sent someone to urge.As a result, Zhang Xiu replied that Zou would keep filial piety for Zhang Ji for three years, and only return to Chang'an after three years.Dong Zhuo was furious: "After three years and three years, the daylily is cold." ”Li Ru also suddenly realized: "It's not good, this must be Jia Xu's plan, to deceive the lord's grain and grass, and then secretly set himself up as the king." ”Dong Zhuo scolded: "Jia Xu, this old fox, deceived me of military rations, and when I entered Nanyang, I vowed to break him into thousands of pieces." ”Li Ru persuaded: "It's not appropriate to turn against Zhang Xiu at the moment, after all, his public identity is a subordinate of the lord." ”Dong Zhuo said angrily: "It's okay if you don't turn your face, but if the Zou family doesn't sacrifice the Zou family, I will attack Nanyang and take it." ”Li Ru persuaded again: "Why bother to fight for a woman, in the future, the lord will compete for domination of the world, why worry about no beauty" Dong Zhuo didn't listen: "There is no need to say more, I must get the Zou family, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”So, Dong Zhuo sent Li Dao to lead 80,000 horses and horses to attack Nanyang.Zhang Xiu had been prepared for a long time and defended tightly, so Li Dao couldn't attack it for a while.Li Dao surrounded Nanyang and attacked day and night, once attacking the west gate of Nanyang, but was finally beaten back by Zhang Xiuqin's subordinates
