『Haha! Old friend!』

The laughter outside the Xiangyuan camp seemed to suddenly break open the door of Zhang Ji's memory.

Inside the door, it was shattered.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Ji widened his eyes, completely unable to believe everything in front of him. The fragments of the memory gate jumped and collided, as if they were pierced on his body, which was a little painful and a little hot, "You... aren't you dead?"

Hu Chier laughed, "That's right! I'm the one who died once!"

There is nothing wrong with Hu Chier saying this.

Dong Zhuo failed that year, and his lower body vividly staged a vivid and vivid story of the Han Dynasty.

Hu Chier was originally a subordinate of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, but after seeing Niu Fu's defeat, he had a strange intention and took Niu Fu's head as an advancement step.

This is not a big deal in the moral concept of Hu people.

Like most Hu people, Hu Chier admires nature.

Or, worship wild beasts.

Just like a pack of wolves in the wild, when the wolf is strong, all the female wolf is overturned and seeks favor, and all the meat is eaten first by the wolf king. However, once the wolf loses, there will inevitably be new male wolf among the pack to rush up and bite off its throat and swallow its flesh and blood.

Therefore, when Niu Fu didn't know what to do and couldn't bring flesh and blood to the wolf pack, the head wolf naturally lost its value, and being backfired by the Hu people under his command was a natural result.

However, Hu Chier did not roll in the desert, but wanted to gain benefits from the Han court. Of course, his behavior did not conform to the social values ​​advocated by the Han Dynasty.

Fei Qian was unwilling to take him in, and Wang Yun was also unwilling to do so.

Hu Chier originally thought she could get benefits, but she didn't expect that she was just sent out for three or two dates, and then she was thrown to the side, and there was no more of the following...

『Do you know? I have been to many places over the years... Shandong, Western Regions, and I have been to...』 Hu Chier laughed, 『I am a businessman now! I am doing business, I won't fight anymore... I can't fight anymore...

『It's good to do business…』 Zhang Ji nodded, 『It's good to do business…』

After a moment, both of them were speechless.

Friends who have not seen for many years are like old classmates who have not seen for many years. When they suddenly meet, it is certainly a surprise, but...

Should I be more shocked or more happy?

Hu Chier looked at Zhang Ji's expression carefully, then deliberately turned her head and praised Zhang Ji, "You are the only brothers who drank together back then, now you are the best! Look at this camp and look at these elite soldiers, they are amazing!"

Zhang Ji laughed, then clapped his hands and said, "Brother Chi'er, don't have to go around the corner. If you have anything to say, just say it..."

Hu Chier looked at Zhang Ji's guards around him, coughed slightly and said, "Are these people your confidants?"

In other words, only Hu people would ask so bluntly.

Zhang Ji was about to answer when suddenly there was a logistics truck in the camp. For some reason, the axle was broken. Suddenly, the goods on the truck fell down with a sensation, splashing a lot of smoke and dust...

Zhang Ji couldn't help but look back, but the guard beside him did not look back, but stared at Hu Chier tightly.

『Tsk…』 Zhang Ji frowned slightly, and some bad feelings appeared in his heart. It was like he ran into a cat and a dog's body when he went out, or was hit by a bird on the forehead when he was walking on the street. 『It's okay... these are all my confidants... If you have anything, just say it...』

Hu Chi'er's eyes turned and she squeezed out a smile, "Great Wealth! Now there is a great Wealth, right in front of her brothers!"

Zhang Ji grabbed the back of his head with his hand, pondered for a while, neither happy nor angry, "Let's talk."

"You and I are brothers from that place in Xiliang! We were born and died in Xiliang back then, and we brothers equalized the Xiqiang and stabilized the frontier! But what did we gain? Grandmaster Dong was killed, and many brothers died, and we still have to bear the reputation of being infamous!" Hu Chier said angrily, not sure because of what he thought of, his eyes turned red, "How happy we were when we were together! But... what did those who pretended to be good people and said that Grandmaster Dong and some other crimes did? Later I realized that no matter how nice it sounded, it was actually not as good as the soldiers and horses under my command! Just like Brother Zhang's men and these confidants! This is the foundation, this is the source of wealth!"

While Hu Chier was talking, the baggage truck with a broken axle was only connected to the wheel. I don’t know what happened, but it may not be stuck and fell down. It jumped along the ground, attracting several more soldiers to chase after him...

Zhang Ji looked back again, then nodded.

Hu Chier licked his lips, and he felt his throat dry. Before he came, he felt that things were actually very simple. He was all brothers for many years. He once snatched meat from a horse spoon and saw the other person's fruit body in a river. He knew all the big, fat, thin, black and white as he knew it. He was a lobbyist, and he could do it in just a few words?

But when he really arrived in front of Zhang Ji, he suddenly felt unfamiliar, which made Hu Chier a little nervous.

"Tell me, what exactly are you doing?" Zhang Ji shook his neck and frowned and said, "You know, I am a rough man, I don't understand it very much!"

Hu Chier said: "No way around! Only these guys, only these soldiers! Can't Brother Zhang get a better position, higher rewards, and more wealth? Now, Shandong is going to attack Guanzhong, which is a good opportunity! Just like when we were in the Western Qiang, who gave more, we support whoever we supported!"

"Western Qiang?" Zhang Ji asked.

Hu Chier nodded.

The words of Hu Chier are very familiar.

Because I did say that back then, and did it the same way.

Whoever pays the price is higher, then his life belongs to whom.

Zhang Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter back then.

But now...

Zhang Ji took a long breath, as if he had seen the shadow standing at the entrance of the village in his mind.

Back then, it seemed that he himself said this to the bright red figure.

"When I make a lot of money, I must make a lot of money!"

"Don't worry! You must be rich!"

"Whoever pays more money will work with you! If you make money, I will definitely come back!"

『What can I do here? Loess, loess, or loess in the same place!』

"With my ability, where can't the world go?!"

"Two years, up to three years! I'll be back! Three years!"

Three years...

hehe.

Zhang Ji smiled.

Hu Chier smiled nervously with her.

The Battle of the Western Qiang, three years later.

Many people died, but they still didn't see any money.

Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and got up too fast, so fast that even Dong Zhuo himself couldn't react.

After I settled down, I looked back and found that the flowers were similar every year, and the beautiful figures were no longer there...

Zhang Ji spent all his passion on the battlefield of the Western Qiang, and his lover also spent his face and blood on waiting.

Then what?

At this moment, Zhang Ji suddenly realized that he was unwilling to face the old and weak lover because he did not dare to admit his mistakes and was unwilling to face the cruel reality...

"It's a pity that time..." Zhang Ji couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Chier hurriedly said, "It's no shame... Brother Zhang has so many people now, and it happens to be so critical. Isn't it a good opportunity given to his brothers? It can be considered a good price! Good fields, houses, gold and silver, jewelry, soldiers, and war horses, then you won't have as much as you want?! Brothers, it's really the best opportunity right now! Great wealth!"

Zhang Ji laughed.

Hu Chier seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and laughed.

The guard standing on the side of Zhang Ji had a little change in his eyes. Zhang Ji's guards were brought from Xiliang in the early years, and of course, some were supplemented in the later period. Although most of them were from Bingzhou, Liangzhou, they were not from the same place. As Zhang Ji's guards on weekdays, there was naturally no conflict. Now a lobbyist suddenly came, and there were naturally some differences among them.

When Zhang Ji seemed to be about to say something, he stood among the guards beside him. A famous older man suddenly started to cough.

Zhang Ji was stunned and turned to look.

I saw the elderly guard, holding his hand on the shoulder of a young guard, coughing like he was breathless, making his face turn red...

Zhang Ji looked at it and suddenly felt a sudden jump in his heart!

Following Zhang Ji's old men, those who were older, of course, Zhang Ji made the decision, and whatever Zhang Ji said was what he said. This is also a common model in Xiliang, and it is also the original custom of the Han Dynasty.

And some other guards...

Put the master.

Both a general and a master.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was an era of system collapse, and this system naturally included the military system. In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the conscription system was the mainstream, and it led to Emperor Wu of Han expelling the Huns and fighting in the northern part of the Mo.

The conscription system was in the early and middle stages of the Western Han Dynasty, when centralized forces could still control local areas, both the prefectures and counties and the central army could still completely obey the central orders. The Han Dynasty also ensured enough troops to be of great success because of such a system, which looked very perfect.

However, this system also hides great flaws and hidden dangers.

It's very simple. If it was a general in the border area, he had worked hard last year and had just made these farmers familiar with the battlefield environment, taught them to arrange their arrays and basic marching instructions, and then prepared to show off their skills and attack the enemy. As a result, the second year came. The service period of these soldiers you taught last year had arrived, and you had to release all the soldiers you had to return to farm. You could only bring the newly transferred soldiers from the local area to deal with the fierce enemies...

New recruits are naturally vulnerable in front of powerful enemies.

Defeated.

The court sent people to hold people accountable.

Can this be a problem with the imperial system?

It must be the general's problem!

Ask for the death in the autumn.

The reason for the autumn is whether you have anything to do with it. It’s a small amount of money that can clear things up. Just like after an American official had an accident in drunk driving, the alcohol level was always measured the next day. Do officials always have to give some time to do it?

Of course, if you can't move, don't complain if you should be beheaded.
To be continued...
