Chapter 944: The Difference Between Cloud and Mud
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to him, shouting at Sima Shi: "General, be merciful!" ”
Sima Zhao was angry, not to mention that the whip had already been swung down, so there was a reason to stop, but the figure quickly blocked in front of Chen Yang, and took a whip for Chen Yang with his back.
"Horn!" The whip sounded loudly and slammed firmly on the back of the visitor.
Sima Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and all the other people were also stunned, thinking to themselves, who is this, and he will actually accept it on behalf of others?
Although the whip was drawn loudly, it was not a big deal, after all, the person who came was also a suit of armor, and the whip was drawn on the armor, which would not cause any harm, but because he was not wearing a helmet, the whip swept to his neck, leaving a light red blood mark on the back of his neck.
The person who came turned around, clasped his fists at Sima Zhao and saluted: "This matter is not their fault, if the general wants to punish him, then punish the last general." ”
Sima Zhao glanced at him, it was not someone else, it was Zhang Tong, the captain of the grain school.
Zhang Tong had previously served as Yulinlang, and later repeatedly moved to the palace governor, this time Sima Yi launched a large northern expedition, recruiting a large number of forbidden army officers to the front-line army, Zhang Tong was also promoted to supervise the grain captain, it was under Sima Zhao to serve.
Although Zhang Tong is just a school captain, but he has the title of Marquis of Jinyang, but the position of this marquis, not earned by him, inherited from his ancestors, although Zhang Tong is unknown, but when it comes to his grandfather Zhang Liao, it is known to everyone, no one knows, Cao Wei's famous five sons of the head of the general, for Cao Wei's Jiangshan Sheji made immortal contributions.
Although Zhang Tong's father Zhang Hu was not as famous as Zhang Liao, he was also an official to the rank of general, and after his death, the title of Marquis of Jinyang was inherited by Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong is the captain of the grain school, responsible for escorting the grain and grass, and the captain Chen Yang is his subordinate, seeing Sima Zhao coming over angrily and about to beat someone, Zhang Tong rushed up with an arrow step, and took Sima Zhao's first whip on his back, otherwise if Sima Zhao's whip hit Chen Yang's face, he would have to break it.
In fact, Sima Zhao was in charge of transporting grain and grass, and he was not unclear about the lack of manpower in logistics, but he was angry when he saw this situation, so he took action, but after beating Zhang Tongtong, he came to his senses.
However, the apology of Shenma, that does not exist, with Sima Zhao's status and identity, even if he did something wrong, it is impossible to pull down his face to apologize, he had a gloomy face, and shouted at Zhang Tong: "Hurry up and do things, if there is any neglect, only you ask!" ”
Zhang Tong looked at the logistics soldiers who were already sweating profusely, and I really wanted to say, are you blind, you are so tired that you are about to become a dog, can you still be sluggish?
However, in the face of the grumpy Second Ancestor, Zhang Tong did not dare to speak disrespectfully, so he had to honestly bow his head and arch his hand: "Only, obey the general's orders." ”
Sima Zhao suddenly felt bored, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Zhang Tong touched the back of his neck, the whip marks, the hot pain, Sima Zhao was too ruthless, although the armor removed most of the strength, but even this whip was a little bit, and it was unbearable, if it really hit the face, I am afraid it would be full of flowers.
Chen Yang is grateful to Zhang Tong, if Fang Cai is not blocked by Zhang Tong, I am afraid that he will really suffer this whip.
"Captain Zhang, I don't thank you for my great kindness, if you are sent in the future, you will die in your humble position." Chen Yang bowed.
Zhang Tong waved his hand and said lightly: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it, do things." ”
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, although it was true that Zhang Tong was just a gesture, but for him, it was gracious, if he was beaten by Sima Zhao, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, but looking at the Sima soldiers lined up in a long line, Chen Yang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the logistics soldiers to work.
Zhang Tong left silently, although he calmly received such a whip, and his appearance looked impermanent, but Zhang Tong's heart was like a knife, in front of so many people, Sima Zhao beat him indiscriminately, this kind of humiliation, how could Zhang Tong swallow it.
But what if you can't swallow it, in today's army, the people of the Sima family are a heavy sky, they can do anything unscrupulously, let alone be whipped, even if the head falls to the ground, I'm afraid they don't dare to stand up and question.
Zhang Tong silently returned to the tent and sat there in a daze, the hustle and bustle outside didn't seem to have anything to do with him, just for a moment, maybe he just wanted to be alone.
Compared with the pain of this whip, what makes Zhang Tong even more embarrassed is his current identity and position, holding the title of Marquis of Jinyang, but doing an errand of supervising the grain captain, to be honest, it is really embarrassing to the five sons, his grandfather Zhang Liao, what a powerful situation, megatron the world, in his generation, he can't even mix the title of a general, he can only be a small captain.
If it was in the previous dynasty, the captain was still a considerable official position, and he could command a group of people, but in the Three Kingdoms era, there were more battles, and there were more military achievements.
In fact, the captain is the captain, and it is also an upright officer, but the captain of the grain inspector, who can only be responsible for transporting grain and grass, has no chance to charge into battle, but Zhang Tong is very aggrieved.
I think that at the beginning, when he was Yu Linlang, he and Cao Liang stood guard together, and they still called each other brothers, but more than ten years have passed, look at others, and then look at yourself, what is the difference between cloud and mud, people are the unattainable white clouds in the sky, and they are just a pile of mud that can't support the wall.
In fact, Zhang Tong did not have the opportunity to change all this, when the Eastern Wu Dynasty sent troops to the border court, Cao Liang took the initiative to ask Ying to go to war and serve as the army in the south, at that time Cao Liang had the idea of pulling Zhang to unify it, but Zhang Tong hesitated and did not follow Cao Liang.
At the beginning, Cao Liang and him were the same identity and status, but Cao Liang, who left the palace, was like a carp that jumped over the dragon gate, and since then it has soared into the sky, and the gap between them has gradually become like a chasm, widening more and more.
Does Zhang Tong regret it? It would be false to say that he didn't regret it, after all, the opportunity of life was once in front of him, and he didn't catch it, and now looking back, Zhang Tong realized that he was too far behind.
The former brother is now so far away from him, so far away that it is extremely strange, as if there is a bright galaxy between them, which is beyond reach.
