"No, general!"
As soon as Di Yang was about to stand up to thank him, he heard Sun Jian on the side trying to dissuade him.
"Sun joins the army? Why not?"
Sun Jian stepped forward directly, bowed his hands to Liu Zhang, and then glared at Di Yang.
"General, this person is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Don't let him go easily!"
"General Hou, I am wronged! If I collaborated with the enemy, how could I kill the enemy general in formation!"
Di Yang quickly straightened up and defended himself, looking forward to Liu Zhang with an innocent look on his face.
"Hmph! You still dare to quibble! If it weren't for you, how could you let my army of 100,000 people fall into death!"
"I'll kill you!"
With that said, Sun Jian drew his sword and slashed directly at Di Yang.
when!
Sun Jian's sword was held firmly against Di Yang's head by another sword, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move any further.
It turned out to be Dian Wei, who rescued Di Yang at Liu Zhang's signal.
"You! Why did you stop me?"
When Sun Jian was stopped by Dian Wei, he was very angry and questioned Dian Wei with his eyes wide open.
"My lord has said that General Di Yang is not guilty. Is there something wrong with your ears? You can't hear, right?"
Dian Wei did not give in at all. Although Sun Jian was brave, he was still not in his eyes.
"General Hou!"
Sun Jian knew that Dian Wei was difficult to deal with, so he looked at Liu Zhang again, hoping that Liu Zhang would understand his intentions.
However, Liu Zhang obviously did not give Sun Jian face, but directly sided with Dian Wei.
"Sun Canjun, I and Zhang Cheqi can judge the right and wrong, so I won't bother Sun Canjun."
Liu Zhang's tone was very calm, but Sun Jian heard it extremely harsh!
What's the meaning? It means that my level is not high enough, so please stop meddling in your own business!
"Okay, in that case, please help yourself, General!"
Sun Jian took back his sword and walked towards the city without looking back. His good impression of Liu Zhang has been completely wiped out now, and Liu Zhang has been labeled as someone who cannot tell the difference between loyalty and treachery!
Di Yang stood up and quickly walked to Liu Zhang and bowed his hands.
"Thank you, General, for your understanding, otherwise I would have been unjustly accused!"
Liu Zhang patted Di Yang on the shoulder and showed a very kind smile.
"General Di, please return to the city and rest! We will need generals to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future!"
"Yes! I will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"
Di Yang bowed his hand to Liu Zhang, turned around, bowed to Zhang Wen, and walked into the city.
"General Hou, is there really no problem with this matter?"
Seeing that Di Yang had left, Zhang Wen approached Liu Zhang and asked again.
Hearing Zhang Wen's words, Liu Zhang knew that Zhang Wen must also have great suspicions about Di Yang, and immediately comforted him.
"Zhang Cheqi, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers! General Di has killed generals and made meritorious deeds. This is a well-known thing! Don't let the hearts of the soldiers be cold!"
Liu Zhang was already serious in his words, and seemed to be educating Zhang Wen. However, Zhang Wen was not angry, but nodded with some understanding.
"The general's words are right, Zhang Wen has learned a lesson!"
"How dare you, Zhang Cheqi has worked hard today, he'd better rest early!"
Zhang Wen does feel tired. He has been running around all day, and his mental and mental abilities have suffered huge setbacks. Now he is also feeling tired!
"In that case, I will go to the city first, and the general will rest early!"
"Zhang Cheqi please!"
Liu Zhang bowed his hands to Zhang Wen, watched Zhang Wen leave, and then went to the military camp with his men.
"Master, don't you ask me why I want to protect Diyang?"
On the way, Jia Xu saw that Liu Zhang had no doubts at all, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, lord, even I feel that there is something wrong with Di Yang!"
"But my lord asked me to save him, so I didn't dare to say anything!"
Before Liu Zhang could speak, Dian Wei answered first and looked at Jia Xu with a puzzled look.
"You're right for not talking too much!"
Liu Zhang pointed at Dian Wei, and then gave Jia Xu a strange smile.
"Wen He, I would be surprised if you didn't save him!"
"Hahahahaha."
Liu Zhang, Jia Xu, and Xun You all burst into laughter. Dian Wei was the only one who looked at the three of them in confusion. It was neither a question nor a question!
Soon, three days passed. The past three days were calm, and even the Xiliang army stayed quietly in the camp, as if it was a peaceful era again.
The officers and soldiers were very busy in the past three days. Each department counted casualties, treated the wounded, and some soldiers who had escaped were returning one after another.
"Generals, as the commander in chief, I have an unshirkable responsibility for our army's defeat this time! I have reported the detailed process of the battle to the court and am waiting for the court's decision!"
Although Zhang Wen's tone was low, his mental state was quite good. Compared with wiping out the entire army and annihilating the three clans, it is the best outcome to only deal with him now!
"After this battle, Zhang Wen also deeply understood his own shortcomings. With my talents, if I want to lead everyone to defeat the Xiliang Army, it will be extremely difficult! I intend to hand over all command to the rear general Liu Zhang!"
"You can't ride in a chariot!"
Liu Zhang stood up directly and firmly opposed Zhang Wen's approach.
"Zhang Cheqi must not languish because of a temporary defeat! I told Zhang Cheqi that victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist! I, Liu Zhang, have also been defeated several times! Failure is not terrible, but being knocked down by failure is terrible. I can’t stand up again!”
"Zhang Cheqi has a great trust from His Majesty, how can he give up halfway? I am willing to assist Zhang Cheqi, and I also ask Zhang Cheqi to take back his life!"
Liu Zhang's attitude was very sincere, without any pretentiousness at all. He really doesn't want to take on this important task!
Winning is another feat of heaven, and it’s not easy for Liu Hong to reward him! If you lose, not to mention, you will be shouldered a big blame!
Liu Zhang would definitely not be able to take on such an unflattering matter.
"this..."
Zhang Wen also hesitated a little. He was unwilling to give up his power from the bottom of his heart, but now he could no longer convince the public. However, if Liu Zhang could really assist him with all his strength, the generals would probably not say anything.
When Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Wen's rolling eyes, he knew that Zhang Wen was still the same Zhang Wen, and had not changed at all!
What Zhang Wen just said was not his sincerity at all. It was just because he could not convince the public that he had no choice but to delegate power!
Sure enough, I gave Zhang Wen a step, and he immediately got off the donkey down the slope!
It seems that these three good days have made Zhang Wen forget about the pain again!
"General Hou, Dong thinks that what Zhang Cheqi said is right! Zhang Cheqi doesn't know military affairs, so he will inevitably make some wrong decisions! Instead of doing this, it is better to let General Hou lead everyone, and we will defeat the West as soon as possible. Liang rebels, let’s go home as soon as possible!”
It can be said that Dong Zhuo did not save any face for Zhang Wen, and even said that he did not know about military matters!
Zhang Wen never expected that Liu Zhang would give him a step, but Dong Zhuo would forcefully break it! Although he was angry in his heart, he could not get angry at Dong Zhuo. After all, what Dong Zhuo said was true.
"General Dong's words make sense. Zhang is willing to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his leadership!"
