Zhang Da had a very comfortable few days in Luoyang.
If you get the title of general, you can just give back the house in Luoyang.
Within ten months, he was summoned by His Majesty five times and entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and the military commander.
This is not a general. Except for the old and famous ministers in the court, who else has such treatment.
But after Zhang Da was stable for a few days, he felt increasingly uneasy.
As a person involved, Zhang Da clearly felt that the favor shown by the court was entirely for outsiders to see.
It is true that he has been summoned by His Majesty many times, but his participation has never been anything confidential.
Moreover, given his status, every important minister present could overwhelm him more than once. Cao Pi never took the initiative to ask for his opinion.
Jia Xu showed great importance to him.
After taking over the position of Cao Youcao of Sijun Cao, Zhang Da reported all the military deployment and logistics routes of the Shu army that he knew.
Jia Xu was extremely satisfied and went to the petition in person to ask for credit for Zhang Da.
However, the court only gave money and silk to show its favor, and the rest... was gone!
If only Zhang Da himself was left idle, that would be fine.
Wei and Shu were incompatible, and the Sun and Liu families were in conflict with Jingzhou due to Guan Yu's death, so there was bound to be a battle.
At that time, it will be a God-given opportunity for Cao Wei to take advantage of the situation.
As a rebel general of the Shu army, he was familiar with the military affairs on the Western Front, and he was not afraid of not being reused during the war.
But if he can wait, what about the men he brought?
After meeting the saint, Zhang Da thought that the court would soon reward his subordinates who followed him to fight.
Regardless of whether the official is big or small, at least he has a reputation, which can calm the hearts of the soldiers.
However, the court seemed to have forgotten this.
Fortunately, everyone respected Zhang Da extremely and would not resent Zhang Da at all because of this incident.
But Zhang Da felt sorry for himself.
It was because of their trust in themselves that they followed him all the way and made their way through life and death. Their friendship with each other was far greater than that of Pao Ze.
He himself did not have the power to submit a letter directly, so he could only wait and distribute the money and silk given by the court to everyone. At the same time, he asked Guanshi Zou to help everyone buy a house near Luoyang and settle down first before making any plans.
Unexpectedly, at noon, Wu Commander Xu Ping and others returned to the mansion with injuries, but Guanshi Zou was nowhere to be seen.
"what happened!"
Zhang Da's face instantly darkened.
Xu Ping and others were seriously injured, but they had their own backbone, and no one screamed at the gate of their house.
Hearing his own general's inquiry, the grievances along the way could be vented.
Xu Ping gritted his teeth and told the story.
They went out to purchase land, and since Manager Zou was familiar with the surrounding situation, it was going to be very smooth.
Today, I went to deliver the goods with my money, handing over the money in one hand and taking the land in the other, everyone was happy.
Unexpectedly, after the transaction was completed, the local village chief suddenly arrived with a group of people and Jing Zhaoyin's messengers.
They insisted that Xu Ping and others had occupied land, and if they did not obediently hand over the land deeds, they would be punished with serious crimes.
Manager Zou stepped forward to argue, but they didn't listen at all. The leader slapped Manager Zou to the ground on the spot.
Xu Ping and others were all from the military, so they couldn't bear to take such a breath and directly attacked the opponent.
As a result, the opponent had a large number of people, and Jing Zhaoyin's messengers had more weapons. Not only did they suffer a big loss, but they were also surrounded by people and wanted to be taken to the government office for punishment.
"At that time, Manager Zou stood up and showed his identity. As the manager of the General's Mansion, he was the leader in terms of his status. He took the responsibility and was taken away. This allowed Xu Ping and others to escape temporarily and quickly returned to the mansion to seek help."
Zhang Da was surprised and confused: "Isn't it the military field that Manager Zou took you to buy? How could someone from Jing Zhaoyin get involved and force you to be punished?"
Zhang Da knew the details about buying land for his subordinates.
After experiencing the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of various places was greatly reduced. In troubled times, war may break out at any time.
In addition to directly rewarding meritorious generals with land, the imperial court also designated so-called "military merit fields", which gave priority to low-level generals with meritorious service and rewarded soldiers to purchase land and settle their families.
Xu Ping and others used the name of General Fenwei to purchase fields in military merit fields. How could they buy other people's fields and be charged with "trouble with property"?
"General Mingjian, those fields are indeed military merit fields. Manager Zou has confirmed it again and again."
"But the leader of the other party and Jing Zhaoyin's messengers insisted that it was their property."
Zhang Da instantly felt something was wrong and smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"Who is the other party?"
"The name of the man they lead is Sima Yi. He is very powerful. The people in Jingzhao Yin Mansion are like subordinates in front of them."
"When Manager Zou defended himself to Jing Zhaoyin, Sima Yi once said that all the land our family wanted to buy belonged to the Sima family in Hanoi, and the Sima family didn't even pay attention to a mere general. "
"General, you are also involved in the crime of land occupation. If the case is not brought to justice at the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, it will be as simple as arresting just one steward."
Zhang Da laughed angrily.
He has no grudge against the Sima family at all. In the final analysis, he just taught a child of the Sima family a lesson on the street.
Unexpectedly, he directly injured so many of his soldiers today, and also arrested the steward of the mansion!
"Okay, Sima family, right? Wang Xiaowu, bring some people, let's break into Jingzhao Yin and see how Sima family wants to turn a deer into a horse and confuse right and wrong!"
