Zhang Dachu defected to Cao Wei, knowing that he had no connections and his identity would be jealous.
Therefore, he also made up his mind to let it go even if he suffered temporary grievances.
However, he will never allow others to bully his subordinates!
Zhang Da asked Wang Xiaowu to gather men, so naturally it was impossible to directly "attack" the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
Instead, we need to use the number of people to build momentum and make things bigger.
He had already calculated in his mind that only by using this method could he have a good chance of winning against the Sima clan in Hanoi.
…
At noon, a group of people suddenly poured out of the street, blocking the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
The people of Luoyang had never seen such a formation before. They formed a circle three times inside and three times outside, everyone stretching their necks.
"Bold! Who is here? Could it be that he wants to rebel?"
Jing Zhaoyin's servants were also frightened by this battle. While reporting to the inner office in a hurry, they shouted loudly and pretended to be pretentious.
The people are ignorant and timid, and they will easily be frightened by the police, no matter how aggressive they are, they will scatter like birds and beasts.
This set of tactics could not scare Zhang Da. The men he brought with him were all warriors who had fought many battles and stood directly behind Zhang Da.
The policeman himself panicked and felt a murderous aura coming towards him.
Especially the leader, whose eyes just glanced at him, made the back of his neck feel cold and his heart trembled.
Zhang Da fought all the way from Langzhong and fought against Ma Chao head-on. How could a small officer resist his momentum.
"Indiscriminately arresting innocent people, forcibly conquering the fields of military merit, and now I want to charge this general with rebellion... As expected of Jing Zhaoyin, what a good job!"
Zhang Da responded loudly, raising his voice deliberately so that all the people around him could hear it.
Wang Xiaowu, Xu Ping and others had long been informed by Zhang Da. They took this opportunity to tell their story in public, confirming that what they bought was the military field.
Several officers were oppressed by Zhang Da's momentum, their faces turned pale and they were unable to reply. They were allowed to take the lead, leaving an impression of being reasonable in the hearts of the people.
After a while, someone came out of the inner office, led by two people.
One of them is wearing an official attire, and he should be Jing Zhaoyin, Hua Chong, the son of Hua Xin, a famous contemporary scholar in Cao Wei.
The other one was dressed in fine clothes, quite elegant, and there was a hint of nobility in his behavior. He was either from a royal family or a wealthy family.
The aristocratic families near Luoyang could not avoid the Hanoi Sima family. Combined with the experiences of Xu Ping and others, Zhang Da already knew it.
"Hey, isn't this General Zhang who defected from Shuzhong!"
Hua Chong had long heard the police report and knew what happened outside the gate, so he raised his voice and greeted with a smile.
But what he said was extremely rude.
At that time, Confucian values were given priority and integrity was encouraged.
Although from the perspective of Cao Wei, Zhang Da's move to lead his army to surrender was an act of "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright", which is worthy of encouragement.
But no matter what, as a traitor general, he will be laughed at and looked down upon by many people.
It was almost an obvious humiliation to say it directly to one's face, and to insist on the word "defection".
Zhang Da suppressed his anger and responded coldly.
"The great Wei Dynasty holds the importance of the divine weapon and is the orthodoxy for the world. The king should rule under the emperor's feet and hold himself upright! No matter what his status is, the punishment should not be different, so that he can live up to the emperor's trust and the people's weight!"
Hua Chong couldn't help being furious.
Zhang Da's words clearly mocked him for not being upright and unworthy of being Jing Zhaoyin.
Hua Chong consciously acted preemptively and directly detained the officials in his mansion, and his subordinates were still "guilty".
With all these things in hand, why wouldn't Zhang Da just bow his head and obey their orders in front of them, saying all he can to protect his men?
I didn't expect that this person was so unruly and dared to mock him in person. No wonder even Sima didn't take him seriously.
"Zhang Wenxi, you dare to talk nonsense in front of me? You allow your subordinates to seize people's land, and you should be executed according to the law! I am thinking of your face, so I am lenient. I hope you can persuade your subordinates well. I never thought that you would directly cause trouble. Come to Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"
When Zhang Da saw the person suspected of being Sima coming out at the same time as Hua Chong, he knew that he could no longer be kind, so he decided to be tough to the end and force the other party to let him go.
"Thank you so much, sir. We bought the military fields set aside by the imperial court, but we can still be accused of occupying civilian fields?"
"Xu Ping, take out the land deed of your transaction and show it to everyone!"
Zhang Da was worried that the other party was doing something secretly, so he showed the land deed not to "Master Hua" but to "everyone".
Xu Ping knew the stakes, so he took the field deed and walked around the field for a week, so that everyone present could clearly see the contents of the transaction, and then handed it over to the guards.
Zhang Da originally thought that Xu Ping had preserved the evidence. Even if Jing Zhaoyin sided with the Sima family with all his strength, it would not be possible to turn right and wrong.
However, when they showed the land deed of the transaction, Hua Chong and the Sima tribesmen did not show any panic on their faces, but instead showed a faint expression of ridicule.
He felt bad, but he didn't know how the other party would reverse it.
"Well, you really forged a contract. He is worthy of being a general awarded by the imperial court."
Hua Chong calmly took out another land deed from his sleeve.
"However, the Military Merit Field was specially set aside by the imperial court to compensate ordinary soldiers in the army and give them a place to rely on to make a living. Even if you are a general of the imperial court, you cannot bully ordinary soldiers."
"Everyone, look! The land that General Zhang wants to buy is indeed a military merit field, but it has already been bought by other sergeants!"
