It was a sunny day with a howling north wind.

In Huaili City, not only has the former peace been restored, but also prospered a lot.

Zhang Xiu raised 20,000 or 30,000 people outside the city, and these people had to eat, drink and consume, which greatly stimulated the economy of Huaili City.

Of course. Zhang Xiu has made meritorious contributions to guarding Huaili City, and his prestige in the city has also risen sharply. Moreover, this time it is not notoriety, but meritorious service in defending the land.

Zhang house, living room.

Zhang Xiu wore a white wide-sleeved robe with a turban of the same color tied on her head, and knelt in the first place. Dian Wei stood at the door with his sword, looking around vigilantly.

Wang Ding knelt on the side and reported the situation of money and grain.

Since the Wang family almost wiped out, Wang Ding donated a large number of goods from his family to Zhang Xiu, and the family came to live in Huaili.

Although the Wang family has been merchants for generations, they have gradually begun to develop in the direction of the scholar family. The men in the clan can not only read and hyphenation, but also have some knowledge.

The potential is not good, but it is still okay to be a small official.

As a general, Pound really didn't want to manage the more than 20,000 men and women. Zhang Xiu hired Wang Ding to manage the money and grain, arranged some of Wang Ding's clansmen, and finally managed more than 20,000 men and women.

However, Wang Ding's ability is limited, and these more than 20,000 men and women will cause chaos from time to time. Zhang Xiu is looking forward to the arrival of Xi Chong's second brother, Xi Zhicai.

As for Liu Pi, Gongdu, Hu Che'er and others, they all honestly followed his orders, studied historical records, and studied military books.

Zhang Xiu heard that these three people have grown a lot, especially Liu Pi and Gong have obviously calmed down.

After Wang reported the general situation to Zhang Xiu, he got up and took his leave. Zhang Xiu was very polite to him and sent it to the door in person.

After the two said goodbye, Wang Ding turned over and took a few followers with him and went to the camp outside the city. Zhang Xiu was about to turn back to the house, but saw a team of people and horses coming around a few simple carriages.

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up suddenly, these people were clearly the people he sent to Yingchuan to find opera talents. This is a lot of hope, but I hope to come back.

However, although Zhang Xiu was a little excited in his heart, he did not lose his demeanor. Instead, he stood under the door and watched with his body straight.

"Lord Sima. We brought Mr. Xi Zhicai back. The first son's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Xiu under the door, and he hurriedly came up immediately, turned over and dismounted to report.

"I've worked so hard for you, I'll go to the account office to receive the reward later. Zhang Xiu picked up the man and said with a smile.

"Thank you, little general. The man was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed. Although he was happy to send Zhang Xiu, and even the sword mountain and the sea of fire would not frown, but it was better to have a reward.

After that, the team arrived at the gate and stopped. The boy brought a small stool and placed it on the side of the carriage, then lifted the curtain of the carriage and helped a young man in his early twenties to walk down.

Seeing this young man, Zhang Xiu immediately frowned.

The young man was very good-looking, with handsome eyebrows, snow-white skin, a slender body, a white coat, and a gray square scarf on his head, which looked extremely elegant.

But under the white skin of his face, there is a faint black. Getting out of the car walked cautiously, accompanied by a cough from time to time.

To put it simply, he is a white-faced scholar, with a weak body, living like a short-lived ghost.

However, although Zhang Xiu was very worried about the young man's physical condition, he was also sure in his heart. According to historical records, Xi Zhicai did die early.

This person is from Yingchuan, also known as Xi Zhicai, and he is still sick and weak.

Nine out of nine are the planners, and they are talented in drama.

Although Erlang had already said it, Zhang Xiu still took the initiative to step forward and saluted politely: "But Xi Guang, Mr. Xi Zhicai?"

"I am Xi Guang." But he is young and thin, so he doesn't dare to call him a gentleman. Xi Zhicai took out his right hand from Erlang's hand, stood still and took a deep look at Zhang Xiu, hugged his fists and saluted: "But other Sima, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Sima?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile.

"Dare to ask where Brother Zhang Sima is?" Xi Zhicai coughed, took a deep breath, and then asked again with his fists clenched.

"Mr. Xi Chong, I'm staying in the house. Sir, come with me. Zhang Xiu was still very polite.

Xi Zhicai nodded and entered Zhang's house with Zhang Xiu. Several carriages, led by Erlang, entered through the side doors.

In addition, Zhang Xiu sent someone to invite Xi Chong.

"Second brother !!" Xi Chong was taken out of the house by Erlang, and when he saw Xi Zhicai under the corridor, he immediately asked with tears in his eyes and called out affectionately. But he smiled brightly and stopped.

But it was Xi Zhicai's face that turned cold, and then he just arched his hand and said, "Big brother." I didn't expect you to be alive.

"I didn't expect myself to be alive either. Xi Chong touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed.

Zhang Xiu stood aside and watched the two brothers talk and behave, and suddenly thought thoughtfully. The relationship between these two brothers is not as good as Xi Chong said.

After Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while, she asked Erlang to lead Xi Zhicai and Xi Chong to sit and talk in the next room, and she went to Zhang Ji's study to sit down, waiting for the two brothers to end their conversation.

Dian Wei still stared at the guard outside the door, like a hard-working robot.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Xiucai saw Xi Zhicai walk in, and clasped her fists and saluted him: "Sima Zhang." "

Sir, please be seated. Zhang Xiu raised his right hand and said.

"Sit down. Xi Zhicai thanked him and sat down on the side seat. In the process, he coughed three or four more times.

"Sir, he is sick and weak. I invited my husband to come all the way from Yingchuan to Huaili, which was really rude. Zhang Xiu looked at his appearance, hugged his fists and apologized first.

Xi Zhicai shook his head, and also clenched his fists and said: "Zhang Sima is serious, my brother can survive thanks to Zhang Sima's mercy." Not to mention coming from Yingchuan to Huaili, that is, from Youzhou and Jiaozhou, I am willing. "

Zhang Xiu is a little strange, the atmosphere between the two of you just now was so weird, why are you so brotherly now? But Zhang Xiu is

not interested in this. After shaking his head, Zhang Xiu raised his head very sincerely and said to Xi Zhicai: "In Brother Ling's letter, the purpose of my invitation to Mr. has been explained. Sir, would you like to help me?"

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhang Xiu deeply.

He is not very smart, he is not very talented, and he has some ability to make suggestions.

On the Yingchuan side, there are many people like him. Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, etc.

These people don't have much interaction with outsiders and have their own small circles. They both know that the other is talented, but outsiders don't know that they are talented.

Usually when everyone gets together, they all talk about the world and talk eloquently.

But they all know that sooner or later, they will go from the rear, to the front. From the shadows, to the sun.

The more chaotic the world is, the more we need them.

And now the situation in the world has become more and more chaotic.

It's also a natural thing to come out and do things. These people Xun You are the first group of people to come out, and they are currently working under the command of General He Jin.

Xi Zhicai hasn't thought about who he wants to do things for. At this moment, Xi Chong sent a letter to Yingchuan and brought him to Huaili City.

For Zhang Xiu, Xi Zhicai had never heard of it before. But during this time, he talked with the son-in-law who escorted him all the way, but he learned a lot about Zhang Xiu.

Born in Jiangmen, brave and good at fighting, and thoughtful.

Zhang embroidery has the advantages of Zhang embroidery, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. In this era, birth is the most important thing.

What is Zhang Xiu?

All in all, Zhang Xiu is not a good choice. But Zhang Xiu held his eldest brother in his hand and played hard.

Along the way, Xi Zhi should think about it. He gently clasped his fist at Zhang Xiu and saluted: "I am willing to be a staff member under Zhang Sima." This

guy readily agreed.

This was something that Zhang Xiu did not expect.

What about a talent like Xi Zhicai, who would so easily agree to be hired by a person from an official position or another department?

But Zhang Xiu quickly reacted.

The ancients said: "A king is a minister, and a minister is a king." "How can a talent like Xi Zhicai serve a person so easily?

Xi Zhicai is so happy to agree now, it is estimated that he is not sincere in his service. As he said, "I want to be a staff member." "

This is a very normal officialdom employment, not a relationship between monarchs and ministers.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu was also relieved. If it was really so easy to get the allegiance of Xi Zhicai, it would be hell.

And since Xi Zhicai is willing to be a staff member, it can be regarded as a good start. Zhang Xiu is very confident that he will eventually accept Xi Zhicai and let him serve him.

"That's very good. Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to arrange Xi Zhicai, but saw Xi Zhicai cough a few times. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sir, you can stay in my house to recuperate from your sick body." "

No. Xi Zhicai was feeling unwell, so he readily agreed.

Immediately, Xi Zhicai got up and left, Zhang Xiu personally sent Xi Zhicai out of the door, and asked a son to arrange Xi Zhicai's bedroom in the house.

After Zhang Xiu returned to the study and sat down, he thought for a while, and summoned the son who escorted Xi Zhicai over and spoke at the door.

"Mr. Xi Zhicai, what is the disease?" Zhang Xiu raised his head and asked the Erlang in front of him.

Since he has regarded Xi Zhicai as a bag, Zhang Xiu will not allow Xi Zhicai to die early. For example, Cao Cao lost Guo Jia, and Liu Bei died Fa Zheng and Pang Tong.

This pain is also heart-wrenching.

Although Zhang Xiu is not a medical talent, he is at least a modern person. Maybe there is some knowledge that can help Xi Zhicai to live longer.

"Returning to Lord Sima. Mr. Xi Zhicai was mainly born prematurely before the first month, and his body has been weak since he was a child. Erlang replied with a bowed hand.

Zhang Xiu nodded, that's okay, it's not a lung lesion. Just because of the infirmity and sickness.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and then asked, "Does Mr. Xi Zhicai usually travel for activities?"

"No." Most of the time he spends his time in the carriage or in the tent reading a book. Erlang replied again.

"How do you usually eat?" Zhang Xiu asked again.

"You don't need a bowl of rice. Erlang replied again.

Zhang Xiu understood, waved his right hand and said, "Go down." "

No. The boy bowed his hand respectfully, and then turned and went down.

"Since childhood, I have been sick and weak, and I like to be quiet but not to move. He is smarter than ordinary people, and he learns with extreme wisdom. Eat less. If such a person does not die early, who will die early?"

Zhang Xiu is like Sima Yi possessed.

Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang's life would not be long, and he also knew that Xi Zhi would not be long.

You need to be well organized.
