Just as war was raging in Hebei, the Central Plains was also plunged into a melee.

Niu Fu and Cao Cao formed an alliance, Tao Qian and Liu Biao formed an alliance, and the two forces began to fight.

Tao Qian's Xuzhou army was no match for Cao's army. Only the two cities of Pi and Xiaopei were left in Xuzhou. Tao Qian had no choice but to ask Gongsun Zan for help. At that time, Gongsun Zan was at war with Yuan Shao, so he appointed Zhao Yun as the general and Liu Guan and Zhang brothers as the generals. Deputy, went to Xuzhou to support Tao Qian. After the heroic Youzhou Army joined the battlefield, it changed the one-sided situation. Zhao Yun led his cavalry to burn Cao Jun's food and grass. Cao Cao could only order the troops to retreat, and the Youzhou Army took advantage of the situation to regain Xuzhou's lost territory.

The Xiliang Army sent troops to attack Jingzhou. During the melee, Zhang Ji, the leader of the Xiliang Army, was hit by a stray arrow. When his life was in danger, he called his nephew Zhang Xiu and entrusted the army to him.

Zhang Xiu led the remaining soldiers back to Hulao Pass. Along the way, Xiliang soldiers gathered in small groups and committed violence in public. When passing by the village, a Xiliang man dragged a commoner out of his hut with a grin. The commoner's clothes were covered with There was blood, and his arms were hanging down. Judging from the heat coming from the wound, it was obvious that he had just died.

Zhang Xiu shouted to the Xiliang soldier, "If you have this ability, why don't you kill a few more Jingzhou soldiers? They are really good at killing the common people."

The soldier didn't care, "Young general, you are still rare and strange. If you lose this battle, you will definitely be punished when you go back. If you only have the head, can General Niu tell whether the dead are Jingzhou soldiers or civilians?"

Kill the good and take credit! This is already commonplace in the Xiliang army. It was because of this that Niu Fu rose to power, became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and finally took control of the Xiliang army.

After hearing what the soldier said, Zhang Xiu said, "What's your name?"

The soldier replied, "My name is Hu Che'er, and I am a captain in the Central Guard Army."

Hearing that he was from the Central Guard Army, Zhang Xiu said, "You will be my deputy general from now on. Don't do anything like killing good people and taking credit for yourself. The Xiliang Army should make some changes."

On the way back, we saw people everywhere who died in battle and starved to death. Zhang Xiu was also touched in his heart. If that person was here, he would definitely not allow us to do this. Lu Bu's figure appeared in Zhang Xiu's mind. The two had communicated before, and Lu Bu personally taught Zhang Xiu's marksmanship. Heroes always cherish each other.

After returning to Luoyang, Niu Fu saw that Zhang Ji was dead, so he asked Zhang Xiu to take charge of Zhang Ji's army. Now the talents of the Xiliang army were withering, and many soldiers even drew swords on people in the street in order to rob people of their property. Niu Fu was very distressed. At this time, his wife had passed away, and the brand of the Dong family on Niu Fu was no longer so deep. Many of his subordinates were dissatisfied with him. Dong Min and Dong Yue were children of the Dong family. They were dissatisfied with Niu Fu's power and often plotted how to seize power. .

It was not easy for the emperor either. After the underage emperor became sensible, he couldn't help himself. First, he ascended to the throne inexplicably due to Dong Zhuo's ambition. Later, he was in the struggle between Li Jue and Guo Si, and then again. Niu Fu monopolized the power. What evil had he done in his previous life? He was manipulated by the Xiliang army.

Niu Fu used the excuse of the emperor to choose a concubine, and searched for young girls among the people, and sent them to the general's mansion for his own enjoyment. He often walked on the street in casual clothes, and when he saw beautiful women, he would take them back to his mansion by force. Who doesn't have wet shoes when walking along the river? On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Niu Fu saw a woman on the street who was quite beautiful, charming and charming. He suddenly became lustful and asked his entourage to tie the woman back to his house. .

When Niu Fu saw the beautiful woman, he wanted to take off his clothes. The woman struggled hard and said, "I am General Zhang's widow, don't be rude." Niu Fu, who is a bastard, has no control over so many people. There are hundreds of generals in the capital. , he didn’t fully recognize it, not to mention that he was now the greatest general. Niu Fu slapped the woman twice and said viciously, “If you don’t obey today, I will kill your whole family!”

When the woman heard Niu Fu's threat, she no longer resisted. Niu Fu enjoyed a night of spring supper. What he never expected was that the woman he insulted that night was also the catalyst for his life to come to an end.

The next day, the woman came home crying. It turned out that she was none other than Zhang Ji's beloved wife Zou. She told her nephew Zhang Xiu what she had experienced. When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was furious, "God damn Niu Fu! My uncle and nephew worked hard for him, but they insulted my aunt like this. I want his life!" Zou told Zhang Xiu not to be impulsive and to discuss with the middle minister first before taking any action. This middle minister was none other than Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who were known as the most poisonous men of the Later Han Dynasty. He had followed Dong Zhuo for twenty years and had a good relationship with Zhang Ji. After hearing that Niu Fu had humiliated the Zhang family, he was also very angry. Niu Fu had a large army and could only be outmaneuvered, so Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu made a plan.

That night, Zhang Xiu invited Niu Fu to drink. After three rounds of drinking, there was a singing and dancing performance. The soldiers Niu Fu brought were driven away by Hu Che'er. Only Zhang Xiu and Niu Fu were left in the hall.

Zhang Xiu patted the table and said, "Niu Fu, why did you bully me?"

At this time, Niu Fu was a little drunk, "I treat you well, why have I ever bullied you?"

Zhang Xiu was furious, "My uncle fought for you on the battlefield and died unfortunately, but you insulted my aunt. Isn't this mean?"

Niu Fu panicked. He remembered that the woman who came last night claimed to be General Zhang's widow, and his hands kept sweating. Zhang Xiu was a murderer without blinking an eye. He quickly explained, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. I I really didn’t know she was the general’s aunt.”

Zhang Xiu didn't give Niu Fu a chance to explain. He picked up the spear and thrust the tip of the spear into Niu Fu's jaw. The entire spear tip sank into his head. Then Zhang Xiu picked up Niu Fu's body and placed it on the door. Until Niu Fu died.

Hu Cheer also took care of the guards brought by Niu Fu. The two commanded the soldiers and were about to go to the military camp to take over the army.
