Chapter 266

Zhang Xiu's findings are the conclusion of his inspection of the barracks.

He always believed in his own judgment.

Zhang Xiu had some thoughts in her heart, but she didn't hesitate. She immediately arranged for someone to invite Jia Xu. Not long after, Jia Xu entered the general's residence, met Zhang Xiu, saluted and said, "my Lord, what's the matter?"

Zhang xiudao said: "the reason why I invited my husband here is that I found that when I entered Guanzhong, impetuous arrogance and even tyranny were bred in the army."

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would say such a thing.

Young people tend to be young and vigorous.

Zhang Xiu is very calm.

Jia Xu also found the pride growing in the army. He even heard some rumors that the soldiers in the army went to the street to eat, drink and pay bills while they were at rest, and even threatened the businessmen who were doing business.

These were never seen in Nanyang County.

Only in Guanzhong can this happen.

Although there will always be some moths in an army, and a small number of them will affect the image of the army, we can't condone them.

In the long run, the army is bound to deteriorate.

Jia Xu said: "what the LORD said is reasonable. I don't know what he plans to do with it."

Zhang xiudao: "set up a model, punish severely!"

This is the simplest and most direct way.

Make an example and it will always apply.

Jia Xu understood Zhang Xiu's meaning and said: "the Lord's meaning is to investigate the situation by the humble leader and set up a model by severe punishment."

"Yes

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "I will obey you in your humble duty."

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, there was a cry of soldiers outside the study.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

A soldier quickly entered and reported: "inform the general, at the gate of the general's mansion, someone called for justice and asked the general to do justice."

Zhang Xiu asked, "what's the situation?"

The soldier replied, "there are ten people from outside. Six of them are the generals in our army. Two of them are the shopkeepers and assistants of the wine shop. There is also a middle-aged scholar and a strong man."

"The middle-aged literati sued our generals for the shopkeeper of the wine shop, saying that the generals in the army went to the wine shop to drink, gave a white note and didn't give money, and broke many tables and chairs."

"According to the middle-aged literati, these generals were all white slips a few days ago."

"Our general, still drunk. It's the shopkeeper of the wine shop who looks timid. The general and the middle-aged man are the ones who take the men out of the mansion

The soldier gave a quick account of the situation.

Zhang Xiu frowned, but also immediately ordered: "take people to the hall."

"Here it is

The soldiers have to be ordered to inform immediately.

Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen he, it seems that the situation in the army is not optimistic. It's just when it comes to the tyranny of officers and men in the army, that's what happened. "

Jia Xu said: "this kind of thing, early outbreak, early settlement. If you drag it behind, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

"That's true," Zhang said

They chatted, got up and went to the hall.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at the entrance of the hall, she looked up into the hall. He saw the middle-aged literati in black robes, with a touch of doubt between his eyebrows and eyes.

Because in the hall, there was a thin and tall figure in a black robe, whose back was very familiar.

For a moment, I couldn't remember.

With doubts, Zhang Xiu strides in.

When Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu enter the hall, the slender figure turns around and faces Zhang Xiu with a faint smile.

In a flash, Zhang Xiu's eyes widened.

Rao was surprised by his city.

"Met General Zhang!"

The thin middle-aged man opened his mouth with a smile on his face and a touch of extraordinary bearing. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, I haven't seen you for a long time."

When Jia Xu saw the middle-aged man, he was also surprised. Immediately, Jia Xu recovered calm, light said: "after years no see, Wenyou style is still."

It turned out to be Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's most trusted counselor.

Li Ru is an excellent writer.

He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and a confidant counselor. There is no doubt that Li Ru has contributed to Dong Zhuo's success in establishing himself in Guanzhong. In terms of qualifications, Jia Xu is under Dong Zhuo, which is much worse than Li Ru.

This is also the reason why Jia Xu was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru came.

Zhang Xiu's "letter to the people in Guanzhong" has exploded people like Li Ru, which is a huge harvest for Zhang Xiu.

Jia Xu doesn't think Li Ru is looking for trouble.

Li ruken came forward, which means that Li Ru is optimistic about Zhang Xiu and intends to work for her.

Zhang Xiu immediately recovered and said with a smile, "it's a great honor for Zhang Xiu to be here. Let's put the old things on hold for the time being. It's not too late to deal with the present and then to talk about the past. "As soon as this remark came out, several generals in the army began to sweat.

What's going on?

The middle-aged scholar actually knew Zhang Xiu.

Originally, they still had a little fluke, thinking that Zhang Xiu would protect them, but now, one by one, their eyes were wandering, and they were worried.

"Good!"

Li Ru nodded.

For Zhang Xiu, Li Ru is also quite curious, but also some surprises.

He has seen Zhang Xiu many times.

Very familiar with Zhang Xiu.

Li Ru once had the impression that Zhang Xiu was young, full of vigour, sharp, and strong in character. He didn't know how to adapt, and lacked flexibility and agility.

Now, the young man standing in front of him has a calm upper bearing and a kind of indifference after the vicissitudes.

It's a big change.

This is Li Ru's impression of Zhang Xiu.

Li Ru has some understanding of Zhang Xiu's current situation. Killing Xiongnu, defeating Cao Cao and seizing Guanzhong show that Zhang Xiu's idea is not simple.

Li Ru has dealt with Cao Cao and knows that Cao Cao is powerful. Just like this, Li Ru would take the initiative to come out after Zhang Xiu posted a notice.

Before Dong Zhuo was killed, because Dong Zhuo was gradually in a high position, Li Ru lost his enterprising spirit and original intention, indulged in female sex and alienated him. At that time, Li Ru was almost indifferent to the world.

When Dong Zhuo was killed, some officers and soldiers arranged by Wang Yun and Lv Bu entered his house with the intention of capturing him. Thanks to his quick response and rapid evacuation, he escaped the disaster.

Rao's family was killed.

After Li Yu counterattacked Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and expelled Lu Bu, Li Ru took the initiative to join Li Yu, hoping to enter his command, and then continue to be an official in the court, so as to avenge his hatred.

After all, although Wang Yun is dead, Lu Bu is still alive. Because of Wang Yun and Lu Bu, his family died clean.

He wants revenge.

It's a pity that Liu Xie deeply hates Li Ru for killing Liu Bian. He flatly refuses Li's recommendation and refuses to let Li Ru become an official. So at that time, Li Ru retired and lived in seclusion in Luoyang.

When Zhang Xiu arrived in Guanzhong, he became an official again.

Li Ru is quite optimistic about Zhang Xiu, because after Zhang Xiu entered Guanzhong, he still restrained the soldiers, prohibited them from plundering, and issued a notice to recruit talented people.

Li Ru took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "General Zhang, I'm drinking in a wine shop. I happened to meet a centurion in your army. He took the other five people to drink wine and eat meat, and gave me a white note instead of money."

"I can't stand this kind of person, so I made a few sarcastic remarks, and the other side would fight when they didn't agree."

"Thanks to the guards around me, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. I asked the shopkeeper in the wine shop. These people often drink and eat meat in the wine shop. Without exception, they all give white paper and never give money. "

"But the shopkeeper of the wine shop is too timid to be angry."

"This time, the tables, chairs and benches were damaged, and the loss was even greater."

"As the saying goes, if you regard your ministers as your brothers, you will see them as your heart; if you regard them as dogs and horses, you will see them as Chinese; if you regard them as local mustard, you will see them as enemies."

"Lord, regardless of the people's life and death, let the people live and die, or even bully the people. How can the people support Lord?"

"Heart to heart, heart to heart."

Li Ru spoke with great eloquence and said: "what's more, general Zhang has just issued a notice calling on countless people in Guanzhong to come back. But the generals under your command criticize and bully the people. Who dares to come? "

Brush!

Several generals with bruises and bruises were in a cold sweat, and they were in a panic.

They all know the power of Li Ru's words.

"Plop!"

One after another, they knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "general, I'm wrong. Please forgive me."
