After laughing, Zhang Xiu said: "the reason why I laugh is that Zhang Tongling's idea is too naive. You live in Heishan. It's in the middle of nowhere. It's not easy to levy, so you can have a foothold. "

"When you come out of Heishan, you want to occupy Hanoi county and become a kingdom. I can't control you, but when you get to Hanoi County, it will hold me back. "

"According to the situation mentioned by commander Zhang, it must be worse than it is now."

"If so, why agree?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were sharp, and said: "it's hard. I've lost my mind. I don't insist on the good situation. Instead, I look for the worse situation. I don't understand the logic."

Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed.

He admitted that Zhang Xiu's statement was reasonable.

But what he said just now is also a test for Zhang Xiu to see how she answers.

Zhang Yan continued: "according to Zhang Taiwei, although Hanoi county is a state, it is better than losing to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent 100000 soldiers to the South and was about to enter Hanoi Prefecture. With Yuan Shao's troops, Zhang Taiwei would be hard to resist. "

Zhang Xiu shook her head and answered, "Yuan Shao has an army of 100000. What's my fear? Now I have more than 80000 troops living in dangyin county. "

"There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides."

"I'm not afraid of Yuan Shao!"

"What's more, Zhang Xiu has never lost in fighting with heaven, earth and people. As the saying goes, "it's a lot of fun to fight with others. Yuan Shao's killing with his troops is my chance to fight Yuan Shao."

"Such an opportunity should not be missed."

Zhang Xiu said: "when Zhang Tongling was in Heishan, he only saw the risk of Yuan Shao going south, but he forgot that once I beat Yuan Shao, the benefits would be unparalleled."

"Even if my army did not invade Jizhou, even if I did not get half an inch of land in this battle. However, I can defeat Yuan Shao. Who dares to despise me, Zhang Xiu

Zhang Xiu said: "the prestige gained through this war can't be underestimated."

Zhang Yan was surprised.

Fight with heaven, fight with earth, fight with people, it's endless fun.

What a Zhang Xiu!

Zhang Yan doesn't have such a disposition. In her heart, Zhang Yan hopes to live a stable life. Even though Zhang Yan does not want to live in Heishan, he does not want to live in Heishan.

Heishan, after all, is too remote.

Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "if you and I do not form an alliance, I will fall to Yuan Shao's side. General Zhang, with his own strength, will be extremely difficult to fight against Yuan Shao and my black mountain army."

"Wrong!"

Zhang Xiu answers again.

Zhang Yan said, "why?"

Zhang Xiu looked confident and said: "Hanoi county is governed by Hu Zhao. Countless people in Heishan go down the mountain and many people leave one after another. It shows that the people in Heishan recognize Hu Zhao."

"Whether it's the people in Heishan or the soldiers under Zhang Yan, they have formed a point of view that our army under Zhang Xiu is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness."

"Because Hu Zhao is my man."

"But what about Yuan Shao?"

Zhang Xiu said, "looking back at Yuan Shao, I wish I could get rid of the black mountain army. The Montenegrin army fought with Yuan Shao many times, and countless Montenegrin soldiers died in Yuan Shao's hands. "

"The Heishan army was hostile to Yuan Shao."

"With this premise, if commander Zhang wants to unite with Yuan Shao, I'm afraid there will be opposition within the Montenegrin army."

"Even the main generals are willing to listen to you. But the soldiers of the black mountain army at the bottom, who are influenced by the people of black mountain, certainly think that commander Zhang is not benevolent. "

Zhang Xiuzheng said: "commander Zhang can occupy Heishan and win the support of the people. What he relies on is your benevolence and righteousness, and your way of dealing with people. Will the people and soldiers still support you once the foundation of your life is lost? "

Brush!

Zhang Yan's face changed suddenly.

He did not expect that Zhang Xiu would say such a thing.

It was unexpected.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Yan also knows the foundation of her life. He restrained the generals under his command with virtue and morality, awed them with strength, and influenced the officers and soldiers of Montenegrin. Therefore, countless people supported him and were willing to stand on his side.

They have a grudge against Yuan Shao.

If Zhang Yan turns to Yuan Shao, many of his generals will not agree.

Seeing the change of Zhang Yan's manner, Zhang Xiu knew that she had moved Zhang Yan and continued: "besides, commander Zhang said that he wanted to control Hanoi County just now. I didn't mean to belittle him."

"When it comes to local governance, can you compare with Hu Zhao?"

"Hu Zhao took office for a few months, which made Hanoi Prefecture Dazhi, and the people of all counties dare not make trouble. I'm afraid that if Zhang Tongling was the prefect of Hanoi County, countless people would rise up and even flee to Heishan again. "

"Would you like that?"

"What Zhang Tongling is good at is fighting on the battlefield. To let you govern the place is to abandon the essence and pursue the end. "Zhang xiudao said: "what's more, as far as I know, most of the time, Ren Qiong, your counselor, handles the affairs of commander Zhang in the mountains. He handles government affairs for you. You really don't know much about government affairs. "

Zhang Yan's face changed again and again.

As Zhang Xiu said, his ability to govern the place is very ordinary.

Let him govern Hanoi county. Maybe a few months later, Hanoi County, which had just returned to stability, will be in turmoil again.

Zhang Xiu sat upright, looking solemn, and continued: "of course, if you don't toss about in your life, it's really boring. The meaning of life lies in tossing. Whether it's good or bad, it's going to be a toss. "

"Zhang Tongling can choose to toss about."

"After you die, even if it's a flood, you can't see it."

"But Zhang Tongling is not alone."

Zhang Xiu continued: "commander Zhang's youngest son is under ten years old. It's time to be cared for and taught. With Zhang Tongling's little knowledge, I'm afraid that to teach his son is to teach him a little bad martial arts, and there is nothing else. "

When it comes to her son, Zhang Yan looks solemn.

His son is his father.

That's what he attaches most importance to. He is both a father and a mother. It's not easy for him to bring up his son.

Zhang Yan wants her son to be promising.

Seeing the change of Zhang Yan's look, Zhang Xiu knew it was a breakthrough and continued: "in Heishan, your son is a bandit. You, Zhang Yan, have been appointed as the emperor, and have been granted the imperial edict to be an official. "

"But are you an official?"

"How many people in the world regard you as an official of the imperial court?"

"Hardly!"

"Everyone looks at you, Zhang Yan. You are black mountain army in name, but you are black mountain bandits in fact. You are regarded as black mountain bandits. Whether it's Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao, or the princes in the court. "

Zhang Xiu said: "you can deceive yourself and say that you are an official appointed by the imperial court. But what about your son? Do you want your son to be despised by the world when he grows up and live all day in Heishan without seeing the outside world

"Zhang Tongling fought everywhere and saw the outside world."

"But not your son."

"His life has just begun. Do you want him to hide in the black hills all his life? "

Zhang Xiu's words became more and more sharp, saying: "parents hope their children can go further and live better. It's the same with me. I'm just a new father. I understand Zhang Tongling's thoughts and feelings. "

"Enough!"

Zhang Yan gave a big drink.

He clenched his fist with anger in his eyes. It's not Zhang Xiu's words, it's his incompetence. He's more resentful about his family background. He wants to give his son a better environment.

He wants his son to be promising.

This is Zhang Yan's obsession.
