To be honest, although Zhang Heng knew Zhang Liao's past, he didn't know Zhang Liao's current situation.
Since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and took power, He Jin's old troops have raised troops one after another, clearly raising the banner of opposing Mr. Dong. Most of the current Guandong princes are He Jin's old tribe.
This naturally resulted in Mr. Dong not trusting anyone except his direct troops. Especially people like Zhang Liao, who used to be Ding Yuan's subordinate and later became He Jin's subordinate, they were even more vigilant, lest they secretly unite with the Guandong princes and cause a fire in their own backyard.
Furthermore, the captain Yang Yong who was killed by Guan Yu today was the younger brother of Dong Zhuo's direct general Yang Ding. He was ordered to lead the army together with Zhang Liao to clear the country and forcibly move the people of Juan County. He had the intention of monitoring Zhang Liao.
Now that Yang Yong is dead, even if Zhang Liao can go back intact, he will definitely be criticized by Yang Ding, and his fate will be unpredictable.
What's more, Zhang Liao himself became someone else's prisoner, and he could not escape death. But who knew that Zhang Heng not only did not kill him, but also deliberately recruited him. This made Zhang Liao, who had no way out, feel a little moved.
There is indeed nothing to miss about Luoyang. The only ones who can't let go are the old brothers who survived the bitter cold in Bingzhou, such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others.
But since Lü Bu recognized Dong Zhuo as his adoptive father, his popularity has gradually grown, and he has become alienated from Zhang Liaoduo, and the friendship he had in the past has long since disappeared.
In this case, it is not impossible to surrender to the person in front of you.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was deep in thought, Zhang Heng did not urge him, but started drinking on his own.
This man in front of me is a smart man and he will definitely make the right decision.
If Zhang Wenyuan, one of the five great generals of the Wei Dynasty, who was highly used under Lao Cao at that time, would never surrender easily. But now that he is under Mr. Dong, the chances are great.
I, Zhang Ziyi, have dug this corner today!
After a long time, Zhang Liao, who was deep in thought, finally relaxed his brows, his expression no longer hesitated, and he already had a decision in his heart.
He cupped his fists at Zhang Heng and said, "Mr. Ziyi, may I ask what position you hold now?"
"The next person, Bai Shen, was promoted to Xiaolian not long ago." Zhang Heng said with a smile, "But in these troubled times, officials and titles are easily available, so Wen Yuan doesn't need to care too much."
"No, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
Zhang Liao hurriedly explained, while focusing on Liu Bei who was gathering the surrendered soldiers not far away.
The implication is simple, how is the new boss?
In troubled times, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. Zhang Liao believes that he is no weaker than others. In addition, the previous two bosses were not very good, so this time he naturally chose a wise and powerful lord.
This question was not easy to answer, so Zhang Heng pondered for a while and then asked with a smile: "Brother Wen Yuan, what do you think a person should be like as a master?"
"Know people and make good use of them, and employ them without doubt!" Zhang Liao immediately replied with a serious face.
Throughout the ages, all the virtuous men and women with lofty ideals have asked for from their lord, in the final analysis, these are just these eight words, but few can do it!
"In this case, Brother Wenyuan can rest assured that Mr. Xuande is tolerant, kind and straightforward. In today's troubled times, he will have great potential in the future. Brother Wenyuan will know this in the future.
If one day Brother Wen Yuan thinks that what I said is false, he can leave and I will never stop him! "
Zhang Heng knew that Zhang Liao would not believe him no matter what he said now, so he simply gave him a promise.
Take down the person first, and then throw it to Liu Bei to increase his favorability. As for whether Liu Bei can win Zhang Liao's heart, Zhang Heng has no doubts about this.
From the Peixian Street Liuzi Tiantuan led by Emperor Gaozu in the past, to the Nanyang wealthy Tiantang later led by Emperor Guangwu, it has fully proved that the people of the old Liu family have special talents in taking down the old men. Liu Bei is naturally no exception.
If this still can't make this Yanmen strong man return, it only proves that he has no chance to be with the Liu Bei Group, but there is no need to force it.
Having said this, Zhang Liao no longer had any worries. He immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Zhang Heng with a serious expression.
"In that case, Liao would like to thank you sir!"
"Easy to say, easy to say. We will be a family from now on. Wen Yuan doesn't need to be polite and come with me to see Duke Xuande."
Zhang Heng also stood up and supported him with both hands, and at the same time quietly changed his title.
In the distance, Liu Bei saw Zhang Heng and Zhang Liao walking toward him, and he understood something in his heart, so he quickly came over to greet him.
"Zhang Liao, see my lord!"
When he was still a few steps away from Liu Bei, Zhang Liao stopped, knelt on his knees, and paid homage.
This ceremony is extremely solemn and can be regarded as a formal recognition of the master.
"Wenyuan, please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
The fierce general who had almost defeated him just now was now kneeling in front of him sincerely. This strong contrast made Liu Bei extremely excited, and he looked at Zhang Liao with even more enthusiasm.
It has to be Ziyi. In such a short time, he has helped himself win a general!
"Thank you so much, lord!" Zhang Liao stood up and said, "Just now, Liao was ignorant of Mount Tai and bumped into my lord. Please punish me..."
Before he finished speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Liu Bei waving his sleeves. "What are you talking about Wen Yuan! The two armies are fighting, and each is his own master. How can I blame him for this? Wen Yuan has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. From now on, we are a family. We must not hold any grudges in our hearts."
Hearing this, Zhang Liao was moved and his senses towards Liu Bei improved a lot.
Originally, he said this because he wanted to clear up the matter in front of Zhang Heng, so as not to be blamed later.
Who knew that Liu Bei comforted him in turn and asked him not to feel embarrassed.
As the lord, Zhang Liao couldn't be more moved by being so considerate.
Looking at Ding Yuan, He Jin, and then looking at Liu Bei in front of him, Zhang Liao must admit a fact - sometimes the gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and pigs!
At this time, Zhang Heng, who had been silent next to him, smiled and said: "Mr. Xuande, I have an unkind request, I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
"Ziyi, you just like to be polite, just say what you have to say."
Liu Bei took Zhang Liao's hand and was about to have an arm-in-arms tour to boost his favorability, but he encountered Zhang Heng, who was a disgrace to the scenery, and he immediately lost his temper.
"Why did Wen Yuan join the general's old department in the past, and now he has abandoned the secrets and turned to the bright side to reorganize and strengthen the reputation of our army, but he must also have a name so that the world can know about it. This will also help the great cause of defeating thieves."
Liu Bei and Zhang Liao were stunned when they heard Zhang Heng's general words.
Ziyi, just say what you want to say, don’t be a riddler all the time, okay!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Heng immediately pointed to Yang Yong's head on the ground and smiled at Guan Yu next to him: "A gentleman has the beauty of a man. Why doesn't Yun Chang give Wen Yuan the credit for killing the traitor general to enhance his prestige?"
As soon as he said this, Guan Yu frowned.
However, the newly joined Zhang Liao was very frightened and waved his hands repeatedly to express that he did not dare to accept it.
Mr. Ziyi, I regard you as a gentleman, you can't harm me!
