Even so, the first, fourth, and sixth legions did not move, and the matter seemed to have fallen only on Zhang Liao, the commander of the seventh corps.

For everyone's performance, Zhang Liao has long been looking at it. After noticing that Dian Wei raised his head high, and when he saw Zhang He's hesitant appearance, Zhang Liao finally stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Lord, Liao is willing to lead the Seventh Army to support Luoyang City." ”

"Okay." Seeing that someone was finally going to take the initiative to stand up, and it was also the commander of the Seventh Army who he hoped for the most, Zhang Chao couldn't help but look overjoyed.

Zhang Liao's Seventh Army Corps was originally composed of Xianbei, Xiongnu and other horse peoples, which made their combat strength led by cavalry. An army like this is also best suited for long-distance raids and support.

Of course, it is one thing for Zhang Chao to hope, and it is another thing for Zhang Liao to take the initiative to stand up. This has won his favor.

"Wen Yuan, you will take the Seventh Army back to Luoyang, and at the same time, the 80,000 captives we captured and some chariots and horses can also be taken with you. Well, after arriving in Luoyang, we must focus on defending, and don't attack at will, as long as we can support our army to return to the division, it will be a great achievement, you know? Zhang Chao looked at Zhang Liao with appreciative eyes and said.

"No." Zhang Liao clenched his fists and promised.

"Good. The other corps will be reorganized immediately. Order, the four corps stay in Chang'an City, and at the same time break through the nearby counties one by one, for my use. The 1st Army and the 6th Army marched with us towards Jincheng, where they joined forces with General Lü Bu and General Huang Zhong to capture Dong Zhuo and pacify Xiliang. ”

"No." Listening to Zhang Chao's final order, Dian Wei, Wen Chou and the others naturally agreed excitedly and loudly, but Zhang He and Gao Gan's faces became very ugly.

originally thought that he could hide without supporting Luoyang, and he could follow along to eliminate Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao still kept them, so their good wishes were disappointed again.

After Zhang Chao announced the results, he didn't look at anyone, but waved his hand, "Wen Yuan stays, and everyone else goes to prepare." ”

Zhang Chao left Zhang Liao alone, so he naturally had something to say, as for whether it was comfort or relief, at least it showed his attitude of making amends. On the other hand, Zhang He, who was also unable to participate in the final battle against Dong Zhuo, did not win such an honor.

Zhang Chao announced the dismissal of the meeting, and the generals and military advisors all withdrew, as if Dian Wei was naturally laughing and making preparations before the expedition. Only Zhang He, Gao Gan, and the three of them stood there, looked at each other and smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go, go back to the barracks first." ”

In the barracks of the Fourth Army Corps, Zhang He stood there silent with a bitter face. Gao Gan, the deputy commander of the corps, said with some regret: "Alas, if I knew this, I shouldn't have stopped the general in the first place." ”

Of course, Zhang He knew what Gao Gan meant, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"What? Do the two generals think that the lord is punishing you by doing this? However, the military advisor who was standing on the side was frustrated, and at this time he asked with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Isn't it? The lord wants to arrange for us to support Luoyang, but we don't want to give up our great achievements. In a moment of anger, he arranged for us to stay. That Dian Wei is the chief of the lord's guard, of course, if there is a good thing, you still have to think about the people around you, as for us, hehe, it is only natural that we should be left behind. The deputy commander of the corps, Gao Gan, said as he spoke, and he had already seen through everything.

"Confused!" Frustrated, hearing that Gao Gan actually had such an idea, he suddenly scolded angrily.

And after the angry reprimand, Fu Zhu also walked outside the door of the military tent, looked around, and was relieved when he saw that there were indeed no outsiders around. After turning around, he looked at Gao Gan and said: "General Gao, if you are just such a villain's idea and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I think you should still accompany Ji Hou (that is, Yuan Shao, who was captured and imprisoned in the mansion) to spend his old age in Jinyang City." Don't come out and talk nonsense, but you have lost your life. ”

Seeing that he was so solemn and cautious, he thought that what he said just now was indeed a somewhat disrespectful guess about Zhang Chao. Gao Gan suddenly said with an embarrassed face: "Yes, Mr. Fu, I lost my words." ”

"It's not that you're gaffe, it's that you're thinking wrong." Seeing that Gao Gan still didn't recognize his instinctive mistakes, he couldn't help but shake his head angrily.

Seeing that Fu Zhu was really angry, the corps commander Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Fu, please calm your anger, in fact, General Gao is also a straight person, what to say, I didn't think too much, and I didn't have other bad ideas." Hey, after all, we are all former Jizhou soldiers, and we still need each other's care and help if there is something. ”

Zhang He, frustrated, and high-level cadres. The three of them were indeed Yuan Shao's subordinates, but they joined Zhang Chao's camp at different times. It's just that even if it is a general, it is also necessary to divide factions, which is a normal thing in any group and empire.

Where there are people, there is strife. The ancestor once said that fighting with the sky is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; It's fun to fight with people.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. For the same thing, everyone will have different ideas when they look at it, and different ideas are the results of different interests, which will inevitably lead to all kinds of differences. The wise man is the one who can resolve these differences and finally satisfy everyone.

Zhang Chao is undoubtedly such a wise man. But sometimes when you meet a confused person, it is inevitable that you can't understand what he does, so you will understand it with a careful heart.

It was Zhang Chao who left the Fourth Army Corps in Chang'an, which was misunderstood by senior cadres, and even the corps commander Zhang He also had a misunderstanding.

Fortunately, they also have a military advisor, who is a smart person who looks at things and problems and is used to considering them from many aspects. It seems to be Zhang Chao's decision, at first glance, it seems to be targeting the Fourth Army Corps, but in fact, from Zhang Chao's point of view, it is indeed the most suitable move.

"Hey, it's precisely because we have both worked together in Jizhou that I want to remind you of it. How? Do you think that the Lord has a problem with us by arranging for us to stay? Wrong? Tell you, this is not an opinion on us, but a trust in us. Think about it, what is the lord most worried about when he enters the land of Xiliang? What is our role? If you don't worry about us, how can you make such a decision? ”

He sighed for a while, and then spoke about his analysis.

Hearing this, Zhang He and Gao Gan couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered something: "Is the lord really thinking like this?" ”

"Why don't you think so? General Zhang He has a view of the overall situation and is steady, and the lord is undoubtedly relieved to hand over the task of stabilizing Chang'an to such a general. As for Dian Wei, he is a fierce general, if it is easy to charge into battle, but when it comes to defending the city and being stable, it is indeed much worse, and the lord also saw this, so he made such a decision. Frustrated, he spoke out his understanding one by one.

Zhang He and Gao Gan originally thought that Zhang Chao was deliberately favoring one side, but they never thought that they were indeed thinking about such ideas and ideas. Immediately, I felt a great responsibility on my body.

Seeing that there was a change in the attitude of the two generals, Fu Yu also nodded approvingly and said, "Okay, now that you know the deep meaning of the lord, you have to think about how to complete this task well." Well, if what I expected is right, it won't be long before the lord summons the commander of the legion, and General Zhang should have figured out how to talk about it. ”

"Oh, and ask the military advisor." Zhang He said modestly.

"Hehe, it's actually not difficult, we just need to ensure the safety of the lord's body. At the same time, it is necessary to collect more grain from nearby counties and counties, and the army will not be able to move without food and grass. Frustration taught Zhang Yiyi to understand his own understanding.

Just after having a general discussion with Zhang He and Gao Gan on some issues that followed, an iron guard came to the tent and said that the lord had summoned Zhang He to talk.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was really summoned, Zhang He hugged his fist at Frustration with a look of admiration, "Thanks to the military advisor, thank you." ”

"You and I are both members of the Four Legions, as it should be." Fu Zhu nodded with great satisfaction and smiled.

After thanking him for his frustration, Zhang He said to the iron guard standing outside the tent: "Please also take the trouble to lead the way." ”

Zhang Chao was sitting in the hall. After the meeting, he did not stay for a moment, first talked with Zhang Liao, and then called Wen Chou, the deputy commander of the First Legion, and asked him to arrange some specific friendships for the army to travel.

After all, Zhang Chao is the real commander of the First Legion, and as long as he personally gives some orders, the people below will do it. This is also a strategy for self-security, if there is no army that absolutely obeys their orders, once something major happens, I am afraid that it will be too late at that time.

After doing these things, Zhang Chao ordered Xu Chu to ask Zhang He to come over.

While sending someone to invite, Zhang Chao finally calmed down, to be honest, he was not very satisfied with the process of today's meeting.

Today's meeting also fully exposed a drawback in the group, that is, in the eyes of the generals, there are only military merits, but there is no such thing as a view of the overall situation, which is not the quality that a real commander should have.

The commanders of the legions that Zhang Chao needs will be able to do things on their own in the future, and they can do their own things without the help of anyone's external force, and they can stand alone. But now it seems that they still owe some fire.
