Zhang Xiu takes Deng Zhan and goes south quickly.
There was no delay along the way. Zhang Xiu must be in a hurry to visit the people recommended by Kuai Liang earlier so that she can return to Nanyang earlier and go north to take part in the war against Guanzhong.
The battle of Guanzhong is very important.
Zhang Xiu must attend in person.
He went south from Xiangyang and visited along the way according to the people recommended by Kuai Liang. As Zhang Xiu is now, it is not too difficult to attract talents. After all, Zhang Xiu is the prefect of Nanyang County and the Zhennan general appointed by the imperial court.
Zhang Xiu has both fame and strength.
However, except for Liu Ba and Li Yan, Zhang Xiu did not disclose the news about Kuai Liang to anyone. Although some of the talents recruited on the way to the South also have certain abilities, they are much worse than Liu Ba and Li Yan.
Moreover, Liu Ba despises Liu Biao.
Li Yan suffered a lot from Liu Biao.
They both stand on the opposite side of Liu Biao. Under such a premise, even if Liu Ba and Li Yan know that Kuai Liang and his family have surrendered to Zhang Xiu, they can't say it.
Others are different.
Zhang Xiu is not at ease.
He visited them one by one. In the letters recommended by Kuai Liang, 80% of them chose to join Zhang Xiu and would like to go north to Nanyang County. But there are also 20% of the people, euphemistic refused to Zhang Xiu's solicitation, still not official.
That's what everyone wants.
Zhang Xiu also does not demand, solicits not to succeed, he does not delay, continues south.
In a short period of half a month, Zhang Xiu has crossed the whole South County and entered Changsha County.
Changsha County, located in the southeast of Nanjun, is located in Linxiang county.
It's Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha.
He has a good reputation and ordinary ability to govern, but Han Xuan is a famous man.
Zhang Xiu is not very interested in Han Xuan's deeds, but in Huang Zhong. According to the information provided by Kuai Liang, Huang Zhong, now in Linxiang County, is a partial general in the army.
It's just that Huang Zhong is not very important.
According to the information provided by Kuai Liang, Zhang Xiu found Huang Zhong's house in the city.
Huang's house is in the north of the county.
In fact, Huang Zhong's house is extremely remote and small. There are no so-called pavilions, no so-called high walls to protect the courtyard. It is just a few houses rammed with soil. Outside the house, bamboo is inserted into the soil to form a circle of courtyard.
The yard is very wide. There are stone mills, archery targets, martial arts training places, and some flowers and plants to hold a lot of things.
When Zhang Xiu and Deng Zhan arrived, Deng Zhan glanced at them and muttered, "according to the Lord, Huang Zhong has the courage that no one should be brave. Even Chen Dao and Gan Ning are not rivals. Can such people live in such a humble place?"
Zhang Xiu smiles and says, "if it's not for Huang Zhong's downfall, can I have a chance to attract him? It's because it's hard for the other party to reach out if they want to, and if they can't use their talents, then I have a chance. "
Deng Zhan said awkwardly: "my Lord is wise!"
He's been attacked again.
This has become a routine, but Deng Zhan's face is thick, and he doesn't think it's anything.
Deng Zhan dismounted and knocked on the door.
"Bang! Bang
When the door ring was knocked, Deng Zhan took a breath and said in a loud voice, "is anyone there?"
"To whom?"
In the room, there was a clear and pleasant sound.
A beautiful figure, stride out.
This woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her hair is not loose. It is not the hairstyle of a woman in a boudoir. She has a bun like a man. She was dressed simply, but she was valiant and had the spirit of a woman.
A woman's cheek is not as white as suede, nor as beautiful as a beautiful country, but it has a healthy wheat color. Especially that pair of eyes, black and shiny, through perseverance and toughness, appear confident and calm.
She has a different temperament.
Looking at the woman carefully, in fact, she is not very delicate, not natural beauty, but the overall sensory blend together, but give people a bright feeling.
The woman's name is Huang Wan.
She is Huang Zhong's eldest daughter and the elder sister of Huang Xu, Huang Zhong's son.
After seeing Huang Wan, Zhang Xiu flashed a light in her eyes, strode forward and said, "please tell me. I'm here to visit Huang Zhong."
Zhang Xiu?
Huang Wan was a little surprised. He soon recovered his calm and said, "which one is Zhang Xiu, young master?"
Although Huang Wan was almost at home, from his father's mouth, he knew something about the outside world. He also knew that the Marquis of Nanyang was Zhang Xiu. He also knew that Zhang Xiu defeated the Huns and killed Zuo Xian King Hu Chuquan.
Huang Wan is a woman who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child.
She practices martial arts with Huang Zhong. Although she is not as powerful as a man, her martial arts are quite powerful. Huang Wan is a daughter, but she also yearns for fighting in the battlefield. In particular, she admired Zhang Xiu's killing of Xiongnu people, and wished she would go to the battlefield to kill Xiongnu people.Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Nanyang Prefecture Zhang Xiu!"
Huang Wan's face was flushed and excited. She waved her hand and said, "please come inside, young master!"
"Thank you very much."
Zhang Xiu thanks and takes Deng Zhan to enter.
Deng Zhan followed Zhang Xiu with a touch of pride on his face. He followed Zhang Xiu to the south, from Xiangyang to Changsha County. Along the way, Zhang Xiu visited many famous people, most of them. As long as Zhang Xiu said his name, the other side was extremely respectful.
That's the beauty of fame.
Deng Zhan didn't read much, but he also figured out some ways at the moment.
After Huang Wan took Zhang Xiu to the courtyard and sat down, he made tea for her and asked her to drink tea. He said, "Madam Zhang, my father is on duty in the army. I guess I'll come home when it's getting dark. Why don't you wait a moment? "
"No problem!"
Zhang Xiu answers with a smile.
It's afternoon Shenshi, and it's not far from dark in the evening. What's more, Huang Zhong is the last person he recruited. As long as Huang Zhong is recruited, Zhang Xiu can go north.
So Zhang Xiu has time.
While Zhang Xiu was drinking tea, Huang Wan went back to the room and went to the house on the far left side of the courtyard.
In the house lay a weak and thin young man.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was a little short of breath, skinny, and his cheeks were a little pale, which made him very unhealthy. Only his eyes, dribbling and turning, showing smart and smart.
This is Huang Xu.
He is Huang Zhong's youngest son and Huang Zhong's only son now.
Huang Xu saw Huang Wan enter, and a smile appeared on his pale face. He said in a low voice, "elder sister, I heard someone talking outside. Did my father come back ahead of time?"
Earlier in his life, Huang Zhong's wife died of illness. It's hard for him to lead a life with two children, be a father and a mother, but Huang Zhong has survived.
Most of the time, Huang Zhong is busy with things outside. Huang Wan takes care of Huang Xu.
For Huang Xu, the elder sister is like a mother.
Huang Wan sat down beside the bed and said with a smile, "Dad is in the army. How can he come back early? It's not Dad coming back, it's someone visiting him. Xu'er, do you know who is going to visit my father? "
"Who?" Huang asked
"The person you admire the most," Huang said
Huang Xu's eyes were more flexible. His hoarse voice was raised and he asked, "is it Zhang Xiu?"
Although Huang Xu's body and bones are not good, he yearns for martial arts more than ordinary people. The more he can't practice martial arts, the more he hopes to become stronger.
He often listens to Huang Zhong. I especially like to hear Huang Zhong say that Zhang Xiu killed Xiongnu people and killed huchuquan, King Zuoxian of Xiongnu. Every time I hear it, I feel excited.
Huang Xu has great respect for Zhang Xiu.
According to Huang Xu's information, Zhang Xiu is no more than a few years older than him. He is already the prefect of Nanyang County. He has killed the Huns and the king Zuo Xian of the Huns, which makes Huang Xu feel ashamed.
He himself can only lie on the bed.
He adores Zhang Xiu.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu came to visit Huang Zhong.
Huang Xu pondered in his heart, his excitement faded, and his expression returned to calm. He said in a deep voice, "elder sister, my father said that Zhang Taishou is in Nanyang County, the northernmost part of Jingzhou. How can he come to Changsha County? Is this man a fake?"
Huang Xu was not good at martial arts. He spent most of his time on his bed. In addition to reading books, he is reading books. Although he is not good at martial arts, his brain is extremely flexible.
Huang Wan's heart thumped when she heard it.
She thinks it's possible!
The younger brother's inference has always been extremely correct. Zhang Xiu is busy with the war in the north, so she has no spare time to come to Changsha.
