Zhang Heng guessed right. The name General Fenwei was really chosen by Cao Cao for Liu Bei.
This was not because he had any dirty thoughts when he came to Liu Bei, but he remembered that when all the princes were hesitant, it was Liu Bei who stepped forward and responded to his idea of begging for thieves, and then won consecutive battles.
Therefore, Cao Cao believed that Liu Bei was a kindred spirit and his confidant, and only Liu Bei was worthy of his high regard.
Then it makes sense to get an official position with a similar title.
Of course, Liu Bei probably didn't care about this. Compared to Cao Cao's almost obsessive sense of ritual, Liu Bei was more pragmatic.
As long as he is a general, it doesn't matter what his name is.
In addition to Liu Bei, Cao Cao also did not forget to give Zhang Heng the official position of Cavalry Commander.
Although the title of Captain of Cavalry is an official position worth more than two thousand stones, it is actually a subordinate official. It was first subordinate to Guang Luxun, one of the Nine Qings, and later gradually evolved into a false position with an official position but no actual duties.
To put it bluntly, although the rank of Cavalry Captain is high, it does not have corresponding functions. How much power you have depends on whether you hold other real-power officials concurrently.
For example, Zhang Heng was promoted by Liu Bei to the post of military officer in a white body. It was inevitable that there would be dissatisfaction in the army. But it would be much more reasonable if he took charge of the military with the official position of Cavalry Commander.
As for others, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they are not worthy of Cao Cao personally asking for credit for them. When the time comes, Liu Bei can just accept his fate.
After hearing the good news brought by Cao Cao, Liu Bei immediately felt that Lao Cao was an interesting person, so he took him to Xingyang to see the new territory he had just conquered.
In this regard, Cao Cao did not refuse anyone who came and happily mounted his horse to accompany Liu Bei.
Of course, there are some gains from jujube that Cao Cao did not mention, such as the two thousand soldiers and horses behind him...
Cao Cao's troops and horses were beaten to pieces by Xu Rong in Bianshui. Even if Yang Ding was lucky enough to be killed, the Kwantung princes could only provide him with food and grass support, but they could not give him the help of soldiers and horses.
The two thousand new people he brought this time were given by Bao Xin, Cao Cao's fanboy and great enemy.
Last time he gave Cao Cao troops and horses, but not only were the troops gone, but his own brother who followed Cao Cao to fight was killed in the battle. Bao Xin was able to give Cao Cao more troops, which shows his deep love for Cao Cao.
After bidding farewell to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Zhang Heng and Zhang Fei immediately returned to Juan County to pack their belongings without stopping.
But on the way, Zhang Heng noticed that Zhang Fei seemed to be depressed. Because he always had a loud voice, he actually didn't say a word for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Heng rode forward and came to Zhang Fei's side.
"Yide, are you worried?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.
Zhang Fei quickly shook his head, but he looked a little guilty.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was unwilling to say anything clearly, Zhang Heng had no choice but to shake his head and ignore it.
But after a while, Zhang Fei took the initiative to come up, with a shy smile on his big face.
"Ziyi, there's something I can't figure out. You've always been good at calculating people's hearts. I wonder if you can answer it for me?"
"cannot."
Zhang Heng refused.
What does it mean to be good at calculating people's hearts? Do you know how to speak?
I'm giving you a chance to reword it.
Zhang Fei almost choked to death from this answer. He finally worked up the courage to express his feelings, but he got such an answer, which was really unacceptable.
But if he couldn't get the answer, Zhang Fei felt really uncomfortable, so he approached him again with a shy face.
"Ziyi, we are all brothers, you can't do this."
Hearing this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.
Have you learned how to get close?
Mr. Zhang is indeed a man who can bend and stretch!
"If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Seeing that Zhang Heng was willing to listen, Zhang Fei immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, rubbed his hands and said, "Um... Ziyi, how do you think I, Old Zhang, have performed since we came out with jujube?"
"Yide, you are brave and majestic. You always take the lead in every war. You work hard and achieve great results. You have always performed well."
Zhang Heng probably understood what Zhang Fei was confused about, and immediately highly affirmed Zhang Fei's contribution.
Zhang Fei was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Heng's words of praise. He gave a thumbs up on the spot and praised: "Ziyi, you are indeed a sensible person!"
Are you praising me or yourself?
Zhang Heng rolled his eyes helplessly, "Yide, if you have anything to say, just say it. We still have to rush back to Juan County to pack our bags."
"Hehe..." Zhang Fei smiled shyly, "As you just said, I, Lao Zhang, fight bravely and take the lead. After this series of battles, even if I have no credit, I still have hard work. But why doesn't my brother pay attention to me?"
Zhang Fei cares little about wealth and fame, but he only values brotherhood.
Of course he knew that his brother Liu Bei cared about him, but he didn't want to be a little brother under the protection of his brother's wings.
What Zhang Yide wants to do is to be able to fight side by side with his brother, and even be an arm that can help Liu Bei achieve great things.
But his brother always seemed unable to understand his ambitions, and even refused to entrust him with important responsibilities, which made Zhang Fei a little distressed.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the wars we have experienced these days. Guan Yu always acted as the commander-in-chief of an army. Zhang Heng also made many plans. Even Zhang Liao, the surrendered general, was entrusted with important tasks. Only he, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei I have never dared to reuse it.
Zhang Fei couldn't figure out the reason, so he was depressed. He didn't react until Zhang Heng wanted to enlighten him.
Ziyi has always been scheming and should be able to help him solve his doubts, so he sacrificed his face and took the initiative to ask.
"Yide, do you mean to complain that Duke Xuande did not entrust you with important tasks?" Zhang Heng said with a smile.
"No, no, no!" Zhang Fei waved his hands and explained, "My brother has treated me very well over the years, so naturally I don't dare to complain. I just want to ask you for advice on how to make my brother feel at ease in entrusting me with such a heavy responsibility." ?”
"This matter is easy to say." Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled, with an understatement on his face.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly!"
Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Fei and said with a serious face: "If you are more reliable in your work, Xuande Gong will not abandon you, a general with ten thousand enemies."
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was both happy and angry.
He was happy because Zhang Heng praised himself as the enemy of thousands of people, but he was angry because Zhang Heng said that he was unreliable.
"But……"
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, but when he was about to defend, he was interrupted by Zhang Heng's wave of his hand.
"No but, Yide, you have always been impulsive. Xuande is not worried about bad things for you, but worried about your safety, so he dare not entrust you with important tasks. If you can change your mind and change your past, you will definitely make Xuande I am impressed by you."
Zhang Fei:......
Why do I feel like you are scolding me, Ziyi?
