"A girl you don't know, something happened a long time ago."

Seeing that her eyes were curious and shining, Zhang Xuan knew that inquiring about this kind of thing was her favorite, so he quickly coughed, changed the topic and asked with a smile: "I said A Yuan, was Mr. Yulang asked you to come?"

A Yuan nodded, "It's also the wife's intention. Let me let me serve you for a year."

The reason why she was really wronged was not to serve Zhang Xuan, but to go to Luo Mansion today to get news that her position had been replaced by Xiao Ning, who she usually hates the most. She felt that she had been demoted and her self-esteem had been greatly hit.

"Sit down! I'll ask you."

Seeing that there was no bed in the room, Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed. A Yuan stood in front of him with his hands down and whispered: "What are you going to ask?"

"I will declare first that I am not trying to drive you back. I mean, if you want to go back, I can let you go back. Actually, I am used to it alone, and you know that I don't like others to serve you very much."

A Yuan wanted to go back just now, but the problem was that if she went back, the Luo Mansion would no longer have her seat. If she was sent to the kitchen as a fire girl and was ridiculed by someone, she would not want to live anymore. She just said a few angry words.

But now that he was angry, A Yuan suddenly felt very afraid that Zhang Xuan would really send her back. She began to regret that she shouldn't have said something angry just now.

She pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't know what to say. Tears burst out again. This time, it was not aggrieved, but because of fear. Zhang Xuan misunderstood and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't force you to keep you. I'll take you back when I clean up."

A Yuan cried with a "wow!" and ran towards the outer room with a stomp. Zhang Xuan felt a little head full. This little girl was weird and unthinkable. He sighed and got up to the outer room. He saw A Yuan standing in the corner of the wall, twitching her shoulders in the face of the wall.

Zhang Xuan knew that she was an orphan, her parents died early, and she had no relatives. She was helpless and she was only twelve years old. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, and walked behind her and said softly: "Then tell me where you want to go. I will definitely satisfy your wish."

A Yuan slowly stopped crying and whispered: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay by your side to serve you. This is the order of the wife, do you agree?"

"But you weren't just now"

"It was just now, now it is now."

"Okay! We agreed that it will be one year." Zhang Xuan had no choice but to agree to her.

A Yuan burst into tears and smiled. He turned halfway and glanced at him secretly, but found that Zhang Xuan was tilting his head to look at her, with his eyes facing each other. Her face turned red and she quickly turned around and ran out, "I'll give the young master water to wash his face!"

Zhang Xuan looked at her back and ran away, and couldn't help but shake her head. In a year, she wanted multiple little maids around her. It was a burden! Luo Cheng knew that he didn't like to serve others, so why did he insist on arranging A Yuan over. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but complain that Luo Cheng was troublesome.

At this time, the two soldiers carried the bookcase and looked into the room. Zhang Xuan said angrily: "Why are you so sneaky?"

The two soldiers had very strange expressions on their faces. One soldier smiled and said, "We are afraid that the general has not been dressed yet."

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and kicked them, laughed and scolded, "Am I that lustful?"

"General, it's normal! My brothers are all looking forward to the general's holiday for everyone, so that everyone can go to the city to visit brothels and drink flower wine. There hasn't been a holiday for more than two months, but it's a big deal for everyone."

These ten soldiers have been following Zhang Xuan, and they are actually his personal soldiers. Although Zhang Xuan has very strict requirements, on the other hand, he has a easy-going temper. Over time, his personal soldiers have also understood his temper and occasionally joked.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Set up first, let's talk about the holiday tomorrow."

Two soldiers happily entered the inner room with wooden boxes. Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that it was very inappropriate. This place was a military camp. How could there be a little maid? A Yuan must not stay here. She must send her away, but where could she go? He just agreed to her.

Just when Zhang Xuan was in a dilemma, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and someone asked loudly: "Is General Zhang here?"

Zhang Xuan heard the sound and hurried out the gate. He saw more than a dozen people walking into the yard. The leader was wearing official uniforms and gauze hats. It was Guo Xuan, the governor of Youzhou, followed by Cui Li and more than a dozen personal soldiers.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See Governor Guo!"

Guo Xuan stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Xuan, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "In just a few months, General Zhang seemed to have become a different person, even more heroic and powerful, with awesome momentum. I almost dared not recognize him."

"Governor Guo has given me a prize, so the Governor asks me to sit in the room!"

Guo Xuan walked into the official with a smile. A Yuan was very smart and had already laid a seat. Zhang Xuan asked Guo Xuan to sit down and said to A Yuan again: "Go and fry three cups of tea!"

A Yuan agreed and ran out quickly. Guo Xuan took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "This is the handwritten letter from Deputy Governor Luo to you, please take a look!"

Zhang Xuan took the letter, but put it aside. He had to understand the minimum human nature. He arranged a barracks for him and then lowered his figure to visit him in person. If he could not help but read Luo Yi's letter, this would be too disrespectful to Guo Xuan.

"First of all, I would like to thank Governor Guo for arranging the barracks for my men, so that we did not sleep in the wild, and I am very grateful."

Guo Xuan quickly glanced at the neglected letter, feeling very satisfied with Zhang Xuan's attitude. He smiled and said, "General Zhang is a hero in the Battle of Liaodong. He fought bloody battles for the Sui Dynasty. How can he let the heroes sleep in the wild? As long as I am in Youzhou for a day, this kind of thing will never happen."

At this time, A Yuan brought up three cups of hot tea and served it to everyone. Zhang Xuan took a sip of hot tea and asked with a smile: "I wonder if there is any news about Governor Guo, how long do we need to stay in Youzhou?"

Guo Xuan thought for a while and said, "Because I also have an army back from Liaodong, they only stayed in Youzhou for three days before rushing to Luoyang. This is actually the will of the Lord. All troops returning from Liaodong must go to Luoyang, including the troops participating in the war and the troops not participating in the war."

"Are hundreds of thousands of troops going to Luoyang?" Zhang Xuan asked in confusion. He felt that it was really unnecessary. The local military government clearly did not participate in the war. Why did he still go to Luoyang?

At this time, Cui Li next to him couldn't help but say, "All these troops are going to be disbanded. General Zhang really doesn't understand?"

"Don't talk too much!" Guo Xuan scolded angrily, and Cui Li lowered her head in fear.

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird. Guo Xuan sighed and said, "Some words should not be said randomly as ministers. However, there is a saying that in various counties and counties, the real purpose of the Emperor's war to confront Goguryeo for the third time was not to attack Goguryeo, but to take the opportunity to confiscate local military power. Of course, I don't think so, but the Emperor brought all the local troops to Luoyang. The rumors in the local area are difficult to refute."

"But isn't the local military government under the jurisdiction of the court?" Zhang Xuan was still a little puzzled.

"Of course, it is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but how to say it, the military government is full of military soldiers, who are farmers in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. The question is, how many self-cultivated farmers are still there? After all, the soldiers are all tenant farmers from wealthy gentry, and the military rations are also raised by local governments and the wealthy gentry bears them. So who should the local army listen to? The interests disputes here are too complicated."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently. He understood Guo Xuan's meaning. The court could not control the place at all. Including the army, even Guo Xuan, a confidant who belonged to Yang Guang, seemed to have some complaints about Yang Guang. It was because Yang Guang transferred the Youzhou army away and refused to return it.

It seems that Cui Li is right that all the soldiers of the military palace will be disbanded. Yang Guang took the opportunity to abolish the local military palace and left only loyal generals in some key places to lead the army to clear the riot bandits, such as Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen and others.

At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a little worried about himself. Will his army be disbanded by Yang Guang?

Guo Xuan seemed to understand Zhang Xuan's concern, and he laughed. "If even General Zhang's army was to be disbanded, then there would be no soldiers in the Great Sui Dynasty. Don't worry, General! The emperor is a man of great wisdom, and he knows He Qi and He Liu!"

Speaking of this, Guo Xuan lowered his voice and said, "The Master may give the general a choice, and I hope the general can choose Youzhou."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I will do my best!"

"Okay! General Zhang is indeed a cheerful person. If the general is willing to choose Youzhou, I can guarantee that General Zhang will be promoted to military history within three years."

Speaking of this, Guo Xuan stopped meaningfully and waited for Zhang Xuan's response with a smile. Military history belongs to the real general level. Although he is the lowest-level general, he is considered to have officially entered the ranks of senior officers.

Luo Yi was the military history of Peking before, and after being promoted to the level, he became the deputy governor, and Guo Xuan offered quite generous conditions.

But Zhang Xuan seemed unmoved and just nodded politely, "Thank you for your kindness to the Governor!"

Guo Xuan was a little disappointed. He thought Zhang Xuan should at least show his loyalty to him. He didn't want to say anything more, so he forced a smile and said, "Okay! General Zhang needs a good rest, so I won't disturb you. Just give me instructions if you need anything."

......

Guo Xuan had already said goodbye and left, only Zhang Xuan was left in the room. Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two tea bowls on the table. Cui Li had half of the tea, but Guo Xuan's tea bowl was still full and had not moved at all.

But Zhang Xuan saw him picking up the tea bowl and drinking it three times. He turned out to be just a gesture. From this point of view, it can be seen that Guo Xuan actually did not believe in him. He was very wary of himself. His so-called three-year military history commitment was just a promise.

Or he didn't believe anyone, Guo Xuan was a very scheming person, and Zhang Xuan thought of Luo Yi again. Luo Yi used Lu Mingyue to assassinate Guo Xuan. How could Guo Xuan not know that there would inevitably be a fierce battle between the two, and it would be absolutely not a wise move to stay in Youzhou.

At this time, the little girl A Yuan took a basin of water and smiled, "Young Master, wash your face first!"

Zhang Xuan felt greasy on his face, which was really uncomfortable. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and washed his face happily, took the dry linen cloth handed by A Yuan, wiped the water stains on his face and hands, and smiled and said, "Let's go to the county town for dinner!"

"Very good!"

A Yuan was so happy that she clapped her hands. Whenever she mentioned eating, she immediately smiled.

Zhang Xuan ordered several personal soldiers: "Go and notify all the lieutenants, we will only stay in Ji County for three days. The first to third regiments will take a day off tomorrow. The fourth to sixth regiments will take a day off the day after tomorrow. The whole army will take a day after tomorrow!”
