Chapter 83 Finding the Difference

At noon on the 14th day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining warmly on Xiaopingjin Pass. The defenders in the pass had just had dinner. Fan Chou, Wang Fang, Zhang Jian and others who were raiding the Qingfengling Ferry last night had already returned.

This time, many soldiers raided at Qingfengling Ferry, and for the first time, they had achieved such results. They were very excited for a while. Even if Zhang Jian and others urged them repeatedly, they could not fall asleep and rest.

Of course, many new recruits had a very fierce reaction after the first kill. They didn't feel anything during the battle, but they looked pale after the end. Especially when they saw the meat that Dong Zhuo rewarded, they couldn't eat it and vomited.

syr!doles!doles!

In the schoolyard, with a dense sound, sixteen feather arrows shot out one after another. They all hit the target at nearly a hundred steps. Dong Zhuo took the bow, shaking his arms, and laughed.

Wang Fang, on the side, hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, "The Prime Minister is really a magical shot."

"I'm old and no longer as brave as I used to be." Dong Zhuo shook his head repeatedly: "I thought that when I could have two stone bows and a full moon bow, I could shoot forty arrows in one breath, which made the Qiang people surrender."

Li Ru, wrapped in a sable coat, clapped his hands and said, "The ability of the prime minister to draw bows is really rare in the world."

When you shoot the left and right bows, you can draw the bow and shoot arrows with both your left and right hands. It seems nothing, but if you shoot one arm, you can shoot twenty arrows in a row, and your arms will be sore and soft, and the number of times you shoot the left and right bows can be doubled, and the accuracy will be stronger.

When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's praise, he laughed happily. The skill of drawing the bow from both sides was the most satisfying thing in his life. Not everyone can have this ability.

The victory of Qingfengling in one battle made Dong Zhuo happy, and his face flushed and radiant: "I didn't expect that Zhang Wenyuan could attack overnight, break through Qingfeng Ferry in one fell swoop, kill a thousand people and capture two thousand. He was almost completely injured. Such combat power is such a wise and brave general! Wenyou, you recommended Zhang Wenyuan to fight before, but I was a little worried that he was too young. Now it seems that you have unique vision."

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Confucianism is just a suggestion, but the prime minister is clear and decisive, and knows people and responsibilities."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Do you know what Zhang Wenyuan is most happy about me?"

Li Ru shook his head: "Confucians are stupid, but they don't know."

Dong Zhuo comforted his hands and said, "I walked twenty miles and attacked 3,000 thieves at night. I won the battle, but I didn't stop. I only brought a thousand soldiers and horses and rushed another thirty miles to raid Heyang City. This person's move is a real warrior! He has a bold strategy! There are few generals who can win my heart, and I can win my heart even though I am!"

After hearing this, Li Ru couldn't help but secretly be happy for Zhang Liao. He knew Dong Zhuo's personality best. No matter how talented you are, you will not value it. On the contrary, once you appreciate someone, everything about this person is good in his eyes. Even if you make a mistake, as long as it is not a rebellion, you can be tolerated.

Wang Fang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel even more hatred when he heard Dong Zhuo's praise of Zhang Liao, couldn't help but say, "The last general is afraid that Zhang Liao will be knocked out by Xiao Sheng, act recklessly, and suffer a defeat in Heyang."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo glanced at Wang Fang and said nothing.

Li Ru knew that Wang Fang's words had ruined Dong Zhuo's interest, and Dong Zhuo was already unhappy. He couldn't help but frown. It was too obvious that Wang Fang slandered Zhang Liao so clearly.

But at this moment, a soldier rushed into the schoolyard and shouted: "Prime Minister! Prime Minister! Heyang is a great victory, and Zhang Sima is back! He is back with great victory! He has arrived at the ferry!"

"Oh? How magnificent Wenyuan!" Dong Zhuo immediately showed joy: "Wenyou, let's go and welcome me."

At the Xiaopingjin Ferry Crossing, Dong Zhuo was shocked at the bloody Zhang Liao and more than 1,500 soldiers, hundreds of prisoners, hundreds of war horses, and countless vehicles loaded with food and cloth.

He thought that Zhang Liao had led more than a thousand tired soldiers to break through Heyang City and take some advantage, but he didn't expect that the situation was in front of him, which was clearly a looting of Heyang City.

Looking at Zhang Liao's young face, Dong Zhuo was a little suspicious of the combat effectiveness of the Kanto princes. Is it Zhang Liao who fought well, or is it that the Kanto princes are vulnerable at all?

In any case, Zhang Liao returned from a great victory and defeated all the princes in one battle. This is a great achievement!

Immediately, Dong Zhuo ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and held a banquet to reward Zhang Liao and the soldiers who had defeated him.

At the banquet, there were all the cups and cups. In addition to Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu and Li Ru, Tian Yi also came from Luoyang a few days ago. Of course, there were also Zhang Liao, Fan Chou, Gao Shun, Wang Fang and other meritorious people.

Dong Zhuo was extremely interested and asked in detail about the process of Zhang Liao's battle.

Zhang Liao naturally would not hide it. He explained the other battle processes in detail, of course, except for letting Wang Kuang and Cui Jun go and preparing to cheat Hu Zhen.

He attacked the east and west, rushed to the west, lured the enemy out of the city, surrounded the points and attacked the aid, and sent a fake messenger to tell Zhang Liao one by one. The passion and wonderfulness, the deceitful means and the clever military arrangement made everyone here admire him, and only then did he realize that Zhang Liao's victory in this battle was indeed a clever trick, and it was not an easy task.

In the statement, Zhang Liao focused on the achievements of generals such as Fan Chou and Gao Shun. As for Wang Fang, he naturally did not mention it.

Wang Fang's face was already ashen and drank cup after cup. Seeing that Zhang Liao did not mention him at all, he couldn't help but get angry and stood up suddenly, clasped his fists to Dong Zhuo and said loudly: "Prime Minister! Zhang Liao arbitrarily seized the military power of the last general during the battle, intending to harm the last general, be bold and arbitrary, and ask the prime minister to return the last general to justice!"

Everyone at the banquet suddenly became quiet. Dong Zhuo, who was about to drink, looked at Wang Fang and frowned.

Wang Fang was so drunk that he stood up impulsively. When he saw everyone staring at him, he couldn't help but wake up most of the time. He regretted it and couldn't shrink his head at this moment. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the alertness of the general, he had been killed by Zhang Liao, so please preside over justice."

Dong Zhuo was silent for a while, glanced at Zhang Liao, whose face was not changing color, then looked at Jia Xu beside him, and said, "Wenhe, Wenyuan and Wang Fang are both under your command. What do you think you should do?"

Zhang Liao snorted in his heart. As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, he could see that Dong Zhuo still wanted to protect Wang Fang.

In fact, everyone here can see that because Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu both have suspicions in the army, they are very clear about the actual situation. Wang Fang disobeyed the military order, so they naturally had mistakes first. Zhang Liao made arbitrary decision on the occasion and deprived Wang Fang of his military power. In the war, it was definitely a clear move.

Everyone could see this, and Dong Zhuo naturally wouldn't be unable to see it. However, Wang Fang is Dong Zhuo's favorite general. Dong Zhuo knew that Jia Xu had always been self-protection, so he asked Jia Xu, obviously he wanted to protect Wang Fang.
