Chapter 4 Zhang Liao

The main tent of the Bingzhou military camp became a mourning hall, and two ferocious and pale heads were placed in front of the mourning hall, staring at their eyes that had long been lost.

It was not until noon the second day after dawn that the commotion of the Bingzhou army settled down.

Three armies were covered with white silence. In front of the mourning hall, Lu Bu looked at the two hideous heads, but his eyes showed a look of hatred.

"Master."

At this time, Gao Shun stepped into the tent calmly and bowed to Lu Bu directly.

"Boping, what's the matter?"

Lu Bu, who had just taken power, felt unbearable. After turning his head to look at Gao Shun alone, he even smiled and asked with a sincere smile.

However, Gao Shun had a tense face and said bluntly: "The lord has taken over the Bingzhou Army, and Governor Ding's former confidant has almost been killed."

"But after Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and the three generals of Song Xian were appointed as the army's Sima by their lord, they eliminated dissidents in the army and even detained them as accomplices with Ding Hu and Ding Bao~"

When he heard this, Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Gao Shun, "Hmph~ what's this? Brothers have finally gotten rid of the old man, otherwise your military merits will not be at least a military Sima."

Gao Shun, who was interrupted, frowned, as if he had not seen Lu Bu's impatient expression, and even said bluntly: "Governor Ding is dead, and the food and grass in the army are only enough for more than a month. I'm afraid that Hanoi County will not distribute food and grass again."

"There are also the governor Ding who was suddenly assassinated, and the soldiers in the army were even more impatient and secretly talking about it."

"There are even more rumors in the army that the lord has received people from Dong's army, given gold jewelry and red rabbit horses."

Gao Shun didn't see Lu Bu's increasingly ugly face at all, especially the last question annoyed Lu Bu.

Slamming the table with resentment, Lu Bu turned his head and stared at Gao Shun and shouted: "Hanoi County dares not allocate food and grass! Who else dares to discuss the soldiers in the army? Is it because my Fangtian's painting halberd unfavorable?"

After a few loud shouts, Gao Shun's arrival completely disturbed Lu Bu's good mood, and he was even more happy at Gao Shun.

His straight-clicked eyes stared at the calm Gao Shun in front of him, and he suddenly felt very dazzling. However, at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the account.

"Haha~ General, lord."

Cao Xing and Cheng Lian smiled and stepped into the mourning hall directly, with a young general behind him.

After seeing the three, Lu Bu finally showed a smile on his ugly face, especially when he saw the young general nodded with satisfaction.

"Hehe, it's Wenyuan."

"Lord, if Wen Yuan hadn't helped this time, the group of soldiers in Beiying might have mutiny."

As if it was his own contribution, Cao Xing was excited to seek credit for Zhang Liao beside him.

Although Zhang Liao, who entered the mourning hall, could not hide his sadness after looking at the white mourning hall with big words.

Sighingly, he stepped forward and took three incense candles, lit them, and inserted them on the incense burner. Zhang Liao sighed quietly, "Although Governor Ding has ever had it, he died like a lamp extinguished."

This action directly made Cao Xing and Cheng Lian, who were smiling, feel a little uncomfortable. They stood in the mourning hall awkwardly, but also restrained the smile on their faces.

Zhang Liao, whose courtesy name is Wenyuan, was born in Mayi County, Yanmen County. He was originally a descendant of Nie Yi (the initiator of the Mayi plot). His family changed to the Zhang family to avoid grudges.

When he was young, he was a county official in Yanmen County. In the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), Bingzhou Governor Zhang Yi was defeated and killed when he resisted the Hu people, and then Ding Yuan succeeded as Bingzhou Governor.

After Ding Yuan succeeded, he began to control military power. Of course, he would have to move his original interest groups, and Zhang Liao was marginalized.

Ding Yuan ordered Zhang Liao to lead troops to the capital to accept the leadership of General He Jin. General He Jin sent Zhang Liao to Hebei to recruit soldiers. Zhang Liao recruited more than a thousand people in Hebei and then returned to the capital to report to He Jin.

He Jin was killed by eunuchs. Because He Jin was dead, he secretly made a secret move before his death and summoned Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to lead their troops to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo and Ding had a fight after they arrived in Luoyang. Zhang Liao, as one of the direct subordinates of General He Jin, returned to the Bingzhou army.

So, since Zhang Liao started out, he was kicked out of the original center of power.

"Hehe, Wen Yuan, Governor Ding was late."

Looking at Zhang Liao's faint sigh, Lu Bu couldn't hide his embarrassment, and his skin felt a little hot. There are many sensible people in the army now, or Ding Yuan's death loopholes are everywhere.

Moreover, Zhang Liao came with Cao Xing and Cheng Lian. I'm afraid Zhang Liao had already known about him killing Ding Yuan last night.

Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at the mighty and domineering figure, and the fiery admiration expression could not be hidden deep in his eyes.

Zhang Liao, who was kneeling on one knee, raised his head and clasped his fists and shouted: "Liao, pay homage to the lord!"

In an instant, Zhang Liao's actions moved the other generals. After seeing this, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian knelt on one knee and bowed and shouted, "Greetings to the lord."

They are truly worshipping the Lord. If Gao Shun was once rescued by Lu Bu and later claimed to be the generals of the Lu Bu family, these generals have always been called brothers in the army.

This time, the position has really changed.

Seeing the fallen generals, Lu Bu, who was not good at concealing his heart, directly showed a sincere smile and waved his hand to signal everyone to get up.

"Haha, we can fight together again in the future."

I have to say that Lu Bu was still so naive at this time, or that Lu Bu was a genius for the confrontation between the two armies, but as naive as a child in politics.

"Master, where should we go next?"

At this time, Cao Xing asked a key question excitedly. Lu Bu looked around and saw that there was no one else. At present, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing were all his confidants and did not hide it.

"Dong Zhuo has promised the captain of our cavalry."

When Cao Xing and Cheng Lian heard the official position of the Cavalry Commander, they showed shocked expressions, and they laughed even more ecstatically.

However, only Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were silent, and there was also Lu Bu. If he had heard of the Cavalry Commander at the beginning, he would have been very happy.

But now Lu Bu is a little unhappy, but his face looks a little ugly, because the Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes that after he surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he was indeed the captain of the cavalry commander.

Not only did Dong Zhuo break his promise, he also later appointed him as the General of the Central Army.

The Zhonglang General is definitely worth a lot of gold in the Han Dynasty, which is not yet in chaos.

"Lord, the reward is the most important thing, the affairs of Governor Ding are the ones who are behind him."

After the hard words were said, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian, who were smiling, suddenly stopped. Zhang Liao frowned even more. He understood Gao Shun's meaning, but what he said was a bit harsh.

What does it mean to be rewarded? The passionate men not only lead their troops to guard the border, but also fame, wealth and wealth are indispensable.

However, after this period of neglect and exclusion in Luoyang, the young Zhang Liao has become more mature.

Under Lu Bu's even ugly face, Zhang Liao also understood Gao Shun's meaning, but he felt that fame and fortune were heavy, and the same was true for governor Ding.

"Lord, you have to be careful about the matter of Governor Ding."

After being in Luoyang for so long, Zhang Liao knew more than anyone that a person’s reputation is important. As long as you have a good reputation, fame and fortune will come.

That's right, in the eyes of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, no one would have thought that the Han Dynasty would cause chaos in the world due to Dong Zhuo's arrival.

They have always believed that as long as Ding Yuan's funeral is done well and gain a good reputation, their lord Lu Bu will make military achievements in the future, and then the profits of high officials will not be at their fingertips.

However, Lu Bu's face became increasingly ugly, and he was more suspicious. Is the content in the book of the Three Kingdoms true or false? He could not confirm.

Military power is the most important thing now.
