At this time, Zhang Da's affairs were also spread to Luoyang.
Above the Luoyang court, all the ministers frowned as they listened to Hao Zhao's performance.
Zhang Da was just an unknown lieutenant. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were the most powerful generals in the world. How could they fall into the hands of this man?
Some even wondered whether Hao Zhao had exaggerated his record.
When Cao Pi heard everyone's discussion, he was a little less interested.
Zhang Da was just a demoted general. Their great Wei Dynasty was full of talented people, and there was no shortage of such a demoted general.
Yu Jin, one of the five good generals, had made great achievements in the war. After the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu flooded seven armies. Unable to defeat Yu Jin, the situation forced him to surrender to Guan Yu.
But he was really unlucky.
Shortly after surrendering to Guan Yu, Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes. Guan Yu was defeated and killed.
After much trouble, he was captured by Wu State again.
Sun Quan sent him back again by proposing to Cao Wei.
The situation itself was very embarrassing, not to mention that Pound, who was traveling with him, refused to surrender after being captured, which formed a sharp contrast with him.
Therefore, after being humiliated by Cao Pi, he was sent to guard the tomb.
Not long ago, Yu Jin died of worry and anger.
Thinking of this, Cao Pi changed his attitude towards Zhang Dalai's surrender.
"My dear lords, since Zhang Da has come to seek refuge and killed an important Shu Han general, it is considered a meritorious service. As for how to award the reward, please come up with some ideas!"
Everyone looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, but no one spoke first.
At this time, Hua Xin came to the meeting.
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of Zhang Da, and none of us have seen him. But this man killed Zhang Fei all the way, defeated Ma Chao, and came thousands of miles to surrender. He is really loyal and commendable. Why don't we summon him to Luoyang to discuss it again!"
Cao Pi didn't care about this at all and nodded when he heard this.
"In that case, call him to Luoyang for an audience!"
…
When an imperial edict came, Zhang Da rushed to Luoyang overnight.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Luoyang City, Zhang Da saw the envoys sent by Emperor Wei coming to meet him.
Zhang Da quickly stepped forward to bow to him, but was met with an indifferent attitude.
The man stared at Zhang Da and chuckled.
"Are you Zhang Da?"
"Both Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are good generals who are powerful in the world. Unexpectedly, there will be times when they are bullied by unknown people, and their reputation will be ruined at the hands of ordinary people..."
"It's really a shame, it's a shame..."
Zhang Da couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
"I wonder what Shangguan is called and where he occupies?"
The man smiled at Zhang Da.
"A certain servant, the right servant of Shangshu, shot Sima Yi."
Zhang Da was slightly shocked when he heard this.
This person is actually Sima Yi, the legendary eagle watching the wolf!
The history of later generations is that Sima Zhongda survived three generations of Cao Wei's ancestors and grandchildren, and finally the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin!
Unexpectedly, I met such a person on my first day in Luoyang!
"It turns out to be Lord Sima. I have heard of Lord Sima's reputation a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!"
When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, you've heard of me?"
Zhang Da walked forward and whispered.
"That's natural. How could I not know that the late emperor loved and hated the person at the same time, wanted to kill him but couldn't bear to kill him? He is truly worthy of being called Tsukatora!"
Hearing this, Sima Yi's face turned from sunny to gloomy. This momentary change can be said to be very wonderful.
This man dared to expose his background in front of him.
Sima Yi sneered.
"Okay, very good. I hope the general will have a happy life in Wei!"
Soon, Zhang Da was brought to the court by a young Huangmen.
As soon as they entered the palace gate, everyone in the court looked at Zhang Da curiously, and they all speculated on who the person who could kill Zhang Fei and Ma Chao was.
However, after seeing the real person, I was really disappointed.
Zhang Da does not have a big head and six arms, but he is the kind of person in the crowd who would not pay attention to him at a glance.
Looking at the rows of strange looks, Zhang Da stepped forward without being humble or overbearing.
"General Zhang Da pays homage to His Majesty!"
Upon hearing the word "surrender", Cao Pi's eyes were full of disgust.
"Are you Zhang Da? I heard that you are going to join me?"
Zhang Da nodded and continued to explain.
"Zhang Fei is unethical and whips the soldiers at will. He even wants us to build 30,000 sets of white flags and white armor within three days. He cannot bear the humiliation and is willing to defect and surrender! However, compared to Jiangdong, His Majesty is sitting in the Central Plains and is as powerful as a tiger. You should be a famous king in the world. I have admired you for a long time and have come to serve you!"
Cao Pi frowned and was very unhappy to see this man's eloquent tongue.
Wang Lang, who was on the side, caught a glimpse of Cao Pi's slight expression, and instantly had a suspicion in his mind, and then stood up.
"Zhang Da, you are a minister of Ji Han. You are good at killing Shangguan. You are betraying your master!"
"Being behind the Lord and asking for glory has been looked down upon by people since ancient times, so why should you be so quibbling about your actions! Looking at your words and deeds, they are really hypocritical and cowardly!"
"If I were you, I would kill myself long ago!"
A few words, every sentence is like a knife.
Seeing that this person was speaking mercilessly, Zhang Da had black lines on his head and was holding back the anger in his heart.
"I wonder who Shangguan is?"
The old man touched his beard and said with a smile.
"I am Sikong Wang Langye!"
Zhang Da couldn't help but laugh secretly when he heard this name.
Isn't this the one who was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang later?
He didn't expect that it was this person who provoked him, so how could he be tolerated?
"Lord Sikong is so narrow-minded!"
"Liu Bei has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, but he has petty righteousness in mind, regardless of righteousness, and is nepotistic!"
"Zhang Fei has a violent temper and often beats his soldiers. If we don't resist, won't we encourage evil?"
"We admire His Majesty's reputation, worked tirelessly, passed several levels, and escaped many pursuits. We are only willing to serve the Ming Lord!"
"You think very highly of yourself, but you only know how to fish after a tree, and you abandon the righteousness around you and seek the illusory road. How sad!"
"Although I am a surrendered general, I still know right from wrong!"
"Emperor Xianwu ruled the world, surrounded by scribes like clouds and fierce generals like rain. How could they all follow him when he started his army? General Zhang Liao did not meet Ming Gong, but he also established achievements later; Pang De was an old general from Xiliang, but he also carried the coffin Go into battle and live up to your trust! There are countless talents in this world, so you should surrender to the Ming Lord!"
"Look at Wang Sikong! As a minister, you naturally have to share your worries and recommend talents to the king. And you have lived for dozens of years in vain, but have you ever recommended talents to the Wei Dynasty?"
"It is not the way of a courtier to use harsh words to ridicule a person who is capable of serving others without using his abilities!"
"You don't have the merits of any size, you don't have the virtues of Chen Fan, but here you are barking!"
"It's just a man with a big head and a gray beard, and he's talking so shamelessly here. I've never seen anything like this..."
"Shameless man!"
