Lu Zhi's words gave Zhang Wen a lot of inspiration, and Zhang Wen quickly understood what he wanted to do.
He didn't say anything more, nor did he try to persuade him. He just raised his head high when he went to see His Majesty in the palace the next day.
"General Zhang Wen, pay your respects to Your Majesty!"
As a meeting before going on an expedition, Zhang Wen, who should have been respectful to Liu Hong, the Han emperor, now bowed instead of kneeling, and looked like a military salute, which made Liu Hong and several eunuchs around him surprised.
They seemed not to have expected that Zhang Wen would undergo such a change in just one night.
There was naturally a look of surprise on his face.
However, Zhang Wen's move made Liu Hong nod his head.
"good!
Before, I was worried that Sikong had been living in the court for a long time and would not be able to lead the troops. Now it seems... I am really worried! "
"General, thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Wen bowed again and responded loudly to the person who praised Liu Hong, making Liu Hong couldn't help laughing again.
After this incident, Liu Hong immediately ordered Zhang Wen to set off early, and while giving Zhang Wen a lot of rights, he also gave him enough troops.
Except for Gongsun Zhu, Dong Zhuo and Youzhou Governor Tao Qian who had already made their decisions.
In addition, Zhang Wen specially recruited Sima Sunjian, who had made great achievements in pacifying the Yellow Turbans, to join the army.
At the same time, Zhou Shen, the bandit general appointed by the imperial court, and other generals went with them. This time, Yang Yong, the governor of Liangzhou, and Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang under his command, Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, and others were all under their jurisdiction.
At the same time, he was also allowed to mobilize soldiers, horses, generals, and officials from various places on his own.
This time it can be said that it was a gathering of heroes. Even Lu Zhi and others could only nod in acquiescence after seeing this lineup.
With this number of people and this roster, it is indeed possible to pacify Northwest, even if... Zhang Wen's coach is a bit inadequate.
But it's enough.
After all, there are some people here who no longer need to rely on the coach to do anything.
Moreover, Zhang Wen himself also made many adjustments.
Gongsun Zhu was Lu Zhi's disciple. Naturally, he did not dare to say anything, nor did he dare to point fingers at Lu Zhi's disciples.
But he was no longer polite to others.
Among them, Tao Qian, the governor of Youzhou, who was supposed to be following the army with the Wuhuan cavalry to support him, was directly transformed into a military counselor under Zhang Wen's order!
Or to put it more directly, at this moment, Tao Qian, a general in the army, directly became Zhang Wen's personal staff.
And another general Dong Zhuo... was absolutely reused by Zhang Wen.
After he was "promoted" by Huangfu Song to become the deputy general of the army, he was once again entrusted with an important task by Zhang Wen!
When the news reached the army, not to mention Huangfu Song's gloomy expression, even Liu Bei and others behind Gongsun Zhu looked at Dong Zhuo with something wrong.
It seemed that they were asking Dong Zhuo whether he was causing trouble behind his back, which was why General Huangfu Song was dismissed from his post in the army and left despite having such a huge advantage.
Dong Zhuo looked at all this and Huangfu Song in front of him, as if he wanted to explain something, but...he finally couldn't explain anything.
Just because this time, Dong Zhuo really didn't bribe anyone, and he had nothing to do with Zhang Wen!
After all, for Dong Zhuo, this is his only chance to make a comeback. Which one is more likely to get the credit, being by Huangfu Song's side or by Zhang Wen's side.
He is not a fool!
He is not the commander-in-chief. Even if Huangfusong is pulled down, he will not become the commander-in-chief.
At this time, what would he do if he had nothing to do?
It's just that he really can't explain this kind of thing now.
After all, Tao Qian was stripped of his military power and directly became Zhang Wen's personal staff, while Gongsun Zhu barely escaped with the protection of Lu Zhi.
But what does he, Dong Zhuo, rely on?
How can you still sit here and lead troops?
Even though he is no longer a deputy general, he is still a general appointed by Zhang Wen!
Dong Zhuo himself couldn't understand this, maybe... I don't know when, Dong Zhuo changed from a general to an opportunist who only knew how to bribe.
In fact, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo himself at this time has forgotten that he was once a general who rushed out on the battlefield and fought out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
It is true that Dong Zhuo no longer serves as deputy general, but he is still a general in the army. He is a real general, much better than his current status.
And the most important thing is that the reason why Zhang Wen sent him here was because he had considerable merit, so instead of removing him from his official position and taking back his military power.
On the contrary, it changed his official position from Polu Zhonglang General to Polu General.
From then on, Dong Zhuo officially became the general of the Han Dynasty.
In this way, it would be very difficult for Dong Zhuo not to be suspected.
However, among all the contemptuous people's eyes, Gongsun Zhu's figure and gaze were not there.
At this time, he seemed to really no longer worry about his future.
Nowadays, this big man is still managed by separate families, perhaps because families all over the world teach him the same way.
And the most important thing is that Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou before, but in terms of leading troops, he was a lieutenant under the command of the old general Zhang Huan.
The captaincy of the northern part of Shu County and the captaincy of Wuji School in the Western Regions are local positions and have nothing to do with military positions.
It can only be said to be his past experience.
But now, when he heard about the generals of the imperial court, he was the orthodox general of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo's arrangement was quickly spread to the entire army.
When they knew this, they immediately stopped, as if they really didn't want to continue the trouble.
It was at this time that Gongsun Zhu finally understood the role of this guy and how he got himself like this.
Dong Zhuo was promoted to General Polu to appease the army. This was not a big deal, but Dong Zhuo was promoted just because they also had opportunities.
And this scene also gave him, Gongsun Zhu, some praise.
"Zhang Wen, who is usually so quiet, I really didn't expect that he would have such ability.
This effort to bring about divisions is really... powerful, powerful! "
Gongsun Zhu chuckled for a while and said nothing more.
Now that today's things have reached this point, my mentor has also taken a look at his steps, and it is meaningless to say anything else.
In this case, it is better to remain silent and wait for the war to come.
But what no one expected was that before the war on the front started, problems on the rear had already appeared one after another...
