Chapter Eighty-Three: Finding Faults
At noon on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the sun shone warmly on Xiaopingjin Pass, and the defenders in the pass had just eaten, and Fan Chou, Wang Fang, Zhang Jian and others who raided the Qingfengling ferry last night had already returned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time in the raid on the Qingfengling Ferry, many soldiers were fighting for the first time, but they didn't expect to achieve such results, and they were all excited for a while, even if Zhang Jian and others urged them again and again, it was difficult to sleep and rest.
Of course, there are many recruits who react violently after killing for the first time, and they don't feel anything when they fight, but they are pale after the battle, especially when they see the meat that Dong Zhuo has rewarded, they can't eat it at all, and they vomit again and again.
Chemical element! Chemical element! Chemical element!
In the school field, with a dense sound, sixteen feather arrows shot out one after another, nearly a hundred paces away, all hit the target, Dong Zhuo collected the carved bow, shook his arms, and laughed.
On the side, Wang Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiangguo is really a god shot." ”
"I'm old, and I'm no longer as brave as I used to be." Dong Zhuo shook his head again and again: "I think that the old man could open two stone bows, and the bow was full of the moon, but he could shoot forty arrows in one breath before the Qiang people were convinced." ”
Li Ru, who was wrapped in a mink coat, clapped his hands and said: "Xiangguo's ability to open a bow left and right is really rare in the world. ”
The left and right bow is the left and right hands can pull the bow and shoot arrows, it seems nothing, but the ordinary one arm can shoot twenty arrows in a row, the arm is sore, and the left and right bow can be doubled the number of arrows, and the accuracy is stronger.
Hearing Li Ru's praise, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, the skill of opening the bow left and right is the most complacent thing in his life, not everyone can have this ability.
Qingfengling won the battle, which made Dong Zhuo, who had been worried for days, very happy, and his face was flushed: "I didn't expect Zhang Wenyuan to be able to attack overnight, break through Qingfengdu in one fell swoop, kill 1,000 people and capture 2,000, and he was almost unharmed, such combat power, he is really a wise and brave general!" Wen You, you recommended Zhang Wenyuan to fight before, and the old man was still a little worried that he was too young, but now it seems that you still have a unique vision,"
Li Ru hurriedly said: "Confucianism is just a suggestion, or is it a clear decision of the country, and he knows people well." ”
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Do you know what Zhang Wenyuan likes the old man the most? ”
Li Ru shook his head: "Confucianism is dull, but I don't know." ”
Dong Zhuo stroked his palm and said: "Walked twenty miles, attacked three thousand thieves at night, won a battle, but did not stop, and only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and ran thirty miles, raiding Heyang City, this person's move, a real warrior!" There is a bold strategy! There are few generals who can reach me, and they have won my heart, and they have won my heart! ”
When Li Ru heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy for Zhang Liao. He knows Dong Zhuo's character best, no matter how talented you are, you won't reuse it, on the contrary, once you appreciate someone, everything about that person is good in his eyes, even if he makes a mistake, as long as it is not a rebellion, it can be tolerated.
Wang Fang, who was on the side, heard Dong Zhuo praise Zhang Liao, and couldn't help but hate it even more, and couldn't help but say: "The last general is only afraid that Zhang Liao will be carried away by Xiaosheng, act recklessly, and suffer defeat in Heyang." ”
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo glanced at Wang Fang and didn't say anything.
Li Ru knew that Wang Fang's words had ruined Dong Zhuo's interest, and Dong Zhuo was already unhappy in his heart. He couldn't help frowning, this Wang Fang was so obvious to slander Zhang Liao, it was too traceful.
But at this moment, a soldier rushed into the school yard and shouted: "Xiangguo! Xiangguo! Heyang is victorious, Zhang Sima is back! Win big! It's time to get to the ferry! ”
"Oh? Magnificent Wenyuan! Dong Zhuodeng's face was happy: "Wenyou, and go with the old man to greet him." ”
At the Xiaopingjin Ferry, Dong Zhuo looked at Zhang Liao and more than 1,500 soldiers covered in blood, as well as hundreds of prisoners, hundreds of war horses and countless vehicles full of food and cloth, and he was also shocked for a while.
He thought that Zhang Liao with more than 1,000 tired soldiers just broke through Heyang City and took some advantage, but he didn't expect that it was actually the situation in front of him, which was obviously a ransack of Heyang City.
Looking at Zhang Liao's young face, Dong Zhuo was a little suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung princes for a while, was Zhang Liao fighting well, or was the Kwantung princes vulnerable at all?
In any case, Zhang Liao returned with a big victory, and broke all the princes in the first battle, which is a great achievement!
Immediately, Dong Zhuo ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and set up a banquet to reward Zhang Liao and the soldiers who returned after victory.
On the banquet, in addition to Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu, Li Ru were all there, Tian Yi also came from Ruoyang a few days ago, and of course there were Zhang Liao, Fan Chou, Gao Shun, Wang Fang and other meritorious people.
Dong Zhuo was extremely interested, and asked Zhang Liao about the process of the battle.
Zhang Liao would not hide it, he told the other battle processes in detail, of course, except for letting go of Wang Kuang and Cui Jun to prepare to pit Hu Zhen.
The sound of the east and the west, the lightning attack, luring the enemy out of the city, encircling the point to send reinforcements, pretending to send messengers, scene by scene in Zhang Liao's mouth, the blood and wonderful, the deceitful means and the ingenious arrangement of troops, so that everyone present was impressed, only to know that Zhang Liao's victory in this battle is indeed a clever strategy, not an easy thing.
In the statement, Zhang Liao highlighted the exploits of generals such as Fan Chou and Gao Shun, and as for Wang Fang, he naturally did not mention a word.
On the side, Wang Fang's face was already pale, drinking cup after cup, seeing that Zhang Liao didn't mention him at all, he couldn't help but be angry, got up suddenly, hugged his fist at Dong Zhuo and said loudly: "Xiangguo!" Zhang Liao seized the power of the last general without authorization during the battle, intending to harm the last general, and acted recklessly, and asked Xiangguo to return the last general to justice! ”
Everyone at the banquet suddenly fell silent, and Dong Zhuo, who was about to drink, looked at Wang Fang and frowned.
Wang Fang was drunk just now, and stood up impulsively, at this time, seeing everyone staring at him, he couldn't help but wake up most of the wine, and some regrets and impulses, but at this time, he couldn't shrink his head, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the last general's alertness, he would have been killed by Zhang Liao, and he asked Xiangguo to uphold justice." ”
Dong Zhuo was silent for a while, his eyes swept over everyone, looked at Zhang Liao, whose face did not change color, and then looked at Jia Xu on the side, and said: "Wenhe, Wenyuan and Wang Fang are both under your command, what do you think should be?" ”
Zhang Liao snorted secretly in his heart, as soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, he could see that Dong Zhuo still wanted to protect Wang Fang.
In fact, everyone present can also see that because Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu have eyeliner in the army, they are very clear about the actual situation, Wang Fang's disobedience to military orders is naturally at fault, Zhang Liao is arbitrary, depriving Wang Fang of military power, in the war, it is definitely a clear decision.
Everyone can see this, and Dong Zhuo naturally won't fail to see it, but Wang Fang is Dong Zhuo's favorite general, and Dong Zhuo knows that Jia Xu has always been wise to protect himself, so he asked Jia Xu, obviously wanting to protect Wang Fang.
Jia Xu didn't look at Zhang Liao and Wang Fang, but said solemnly: "The battle of Hanoi is related to the great plan of the country, if you don't fight, you can't afford to lose, otherwise you will be laughed at by the world, and the thieves in the Kanto region are even more powerful." Now Xiangguo entrusted Zhang Liao and Wang Fanger with important tasks, but the two of them ignored the overall situation and almost ruined Xiangguo's plan, and they should be punished. The last general was ineffective in command, and asked Xiangguo to punish him together. ”
