However, this is still a huge improvement for Dong Zhuo.
Because he controls the military authority, he can directly recruit troops.
In the past, he was just a prefect. Even though his official position was not low, he had no partial military authority. He could not promote his men or raise troops. In a sense, Dong Zhuo is just a rebel leader.
Now, he can use those two tiger charms to promote generals on his left and right wings. Moreover, his governor's seal can also be used.
Governors and governors across counties and states cannot use the Mu Shou seal. Xu Qiu and Qin Jie were originally not allowed to use the National Fortune Blessing, but because they joined Huangfu Song's command, they could use it.
What's more important is that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's plans are not just those of generals, they also have more plans. For example...replace Lu Zhi and be promoted to Beizhong Lang General! !
Take control of all the Han armies in the north, and your military power will shine through! !
Then kill Zhang Jiao, achieve unparalleled feats, and storm into the Dragon Court! !
The soldiers they sent to Shendu not only bribed officials, but also secretly impeached Lu Zhi, adding to Lu Zhi's troubles.
After all, if Dong Zhuo wanted to quickly accumulate power and stand out, it was inevitable to defeat Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi seems to be very prosperous, but in fact, his position is watched by countless jackals, tigers and leopards. Even Lin Mu's left-wing general was watched by so many people and had opinions.
Because Dong Zhuo was promoted, the whole army was celebrating!
The depressing mood of having nothing to gain in Quyang City was swept away.
If there is something festive, Dong Zhuo will of course hold a banquet. He likes to hold banquets the most.
Dong Zhuojun's logistics troops were busy again.
On the sixth day, the result of Hua Xiong VS Zhou Tai came out, and Zhou Tai lost.
This result made Dong Zhuojun revel again. The first god of war in Xiliang, invincible! !
The whole city seemed to be boiling.
Zhou Tai followed Hua Xiong and slowly returned to the city. Dong Zhuojun in the surrounding defense area kept reveling.
A look of helplessness appeared on Zhou Tai's resolute face after applying the elixir. It is true that he cannot defeat Hua Xiong, but if he really defeats Hua Xiong, he doesn't even know if he will be able to walk in with his life!
These guys might drown him in spit!
Zhou Tai looked around and found that many key positions in Quyang City had been taken over by Dong Zhuo. His troops were placed in barracks.
Zhou Tai was not surprised at all by this and walked straight back to the military camp.
"The legion commander is back!" In the slightly dull barracks, the soldiers were quite happy to see Zhou Tai back.
"Legion Commander, they robbed half of the food and grass we specially reserved!" A lieutenant reported back to Zhou Tai.
There was no anger on his face, just a little speechless. They had already thought of this situation when they killed Zhang Bao.
"It doesn't matter, it'll be enough for us to eat for a while. I just left a little on purpose." Zhou Tai waved his hand.
"Continue the military training and seize the time to improve everyone." Zhou Tai instructed.
"By the way, legion commander, Dong Zhuo is holding a banquet at the city lord's palace and has invited us." The lieutenant said again.
"Banquet? You want to hold a banquet even if you defeat me?" Hearing this, Zhou Tai glared and his expression suddenly changed, looking extremely weird.
Zhou Tai didn't know yet that Dong Zhuo had been promoted.
"Uh... no... it seems that Dong Zhuo held the banquet after he was promoted to lieutenant general." The lieutenant also looked strange.
"Oh~~Dong Zhuo was promoted?" Zhou Tai heard this, a flash of embarrassment flashed on his face, damn...he was careless...
Dong Zhuo's promotion had been predicted for a long time in the Great Wilderness Territory. Even the fact that he replaced Lu Zhi to play Zhang Jiao was counted.
Even if Dong Zhuo doesn't run it, the Great Wilderness Territory might even be run for him!
"However, Dong Zhuo's promotion is ahead of schedule!" After Zhou Tai regained his composure, a strange look appeared on his face.
They have not yet invaded Julu County. Lu Zhi also failed to capture the giant deer, and was still fighting fiercely with Zhang Jiao in the state of Zhao. Everything is ahead of schedule!
After thinking for a while, Zhou Tai stopped caring. Anyway, Zhang Bao and Bo Cai were taken by Dahuang Territory, and the gains were huge. No matter how it changes later, as long as the goal remains unchanged, it is basically acceptable.
After Zhou Tai explained, he returned to the military camp wing to rest.
At night, in the palace of the Lord of Xiaquyang City, the lights were brightly lit and the noise was soaring to the sky. If two big red lanterns were hung in front of the gate of the tall city lord's palace and the words "happy" were posted, everyone might think that Dong Zhuo had taken a concubine!
The grand banquet began. Dong Zhuo sat at the front seat as a matter of course, and everyone sat in turn. Zhou Tai, who was originally the host, became a foil.
However, Zhou Tai didn't mind and just sat behind Gongsun Zan without hesitation.
Occasionally, he would chat with Gongsun Zan and exchange military strategies.
After the banquet began, Li Ru gave a speech first, talked about his achievements and praised Dong Zhuo's achievements, and then took out the imperial edict to express that Dong Zhuo was justifiably promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General.
Everyone, party!
Then Dong Zhuo also got up and said some words of encouragement, and everything seemed to be in a happy mood.
However, after three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo's people began to take action.
However, unlike Huangfu Song's criticism of Lin Mu, Lin Mu still had Huangfu Song's support, while Zhou Tai did not have anyone's support.
"Zhou Tai, where is Zhang Bao's head?!" Hua Xiong, furious, roared angrily.
Fighting with Zhou Tai felt very frustrating. He always felt that he was one step ahead of Zhou Tai, but he always failed to cross the line of defeating him and was always dragged by Zhou Tai. Where does this put the face of him, the No. 1 God of War in Xiliang!
"Oh! Zhang Bao's head has been sent to Luoyang for His Majesty. His Majesty will be very relieved when he hears that Zhang Bao has died." Zhou Tai said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"In addition, the merit documents have also been passed up and are in the hands of His Majesty." Zhou Tai deliberately mentioned.
As soon as Zhou Tai said this, Li Ru and others were shocked.
Has Liu Hong received the official merit document? !
"Have you already uploaded it?" Dong Zhuo's face turned ugly and he asked again for confirmation.
"Yes! It has been passed on to Your Majesty. We passed it directly to Your Majesty through Lord Zhijin Wu Xun Shuang." Zhou Tai said calmly and calmly.
He could mention Xun Shuang just because he wanted Dong Zhuo to surrender.
The lord Lin Mu once said that this Dong Zhuo is a ferocious tiger and wolf, and it is possible to kill someone even if he disagrees with him.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Tai's words, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo and others all looked ugly. The two of them looked at each other, and a strange color appeared in their dark eyes.
Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and others who were watching the excitement continued to watch with interest.
They can't interfere with Zhang Bao's matter!
"Hmph! Zhou Tai, did you know that Zhang Bao was seriously injured by us? You just took advantage of it by chance. Now, hand over Zhang Bao's head!" Guo Si stood up and angrily scolded Zhou Tai.
"I don't know." Zhou Tai said directly. It doesn’t matter whether you were the ones who beat him or not, he was the one who took the head anyway, so brag!
"We discovered Zhang Jue's treasonous intentions a long time ago, so we secretly came to Jizhou to investigate. Who knew that when we were inquiring about the news in Xiaquyang City, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out before we could find any evidence," Zhou Tai said It must be well-founded and watertight.
When Li Ru heard this, his brows jumped sharply. Zhou Tai has already been in Xiaquyangcheng? !
What's going on with Wancheng's information? ! The keen Li Ru seemed to have discovered something.
"After that, my subordinates passed the news to me, and I went north from Wancheng, sneaking into Xiaquyang City with my men and waiting for the opportunity." Zhou Tai said while looking at Dong Zhuo.
"After that, we secretly capture Quyang City and wait for Zhang Bao." Zhou Tai said quietly, telling the plan. However, is this really the plan of the Great Wilderness Territory? Only Zhou Tai himself knew.
Li Ru frowned when he heard this. In fact, he had thought of Zhou Tai's reasons. However, he always felt that there was something inside, but he just couldn't grasp the point.
Zhou Tai's sophistry...no...explanation, coupled with the confirmation of his credit, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others were unable to do anything even if they took control of the military power.
What a great move!
Dong Zhuo looked at Zhou Tai fiercely and remained silent.
"General Zhou Tai, I am already a Zhonglang General and have the right to recruit soldiers. Since you are a Han general, you should come under my command." You can't be tough, so you can only be soft and yin!
"Thank you, General Zhonglang, for your kindness! The last general was originally a subordinate of General Fubo Lin Mu. He was just lurking in Xiaquyang City because of the ambush on Zhang Bao." Zhou Tai continued to say neither humble nor overbearing.
Alone, even when facing so many tigers and leopards, he remained calm, strong!
"At present, General Fubo Lin Mu has come to Jizhou with General Huangfu Songzhonglang and assumed the position of general on the right wing. When the time comes, I will return to his tent, and there is no need for Governor Dong to worry." Zhou Tai directly rejected Dong Zhuo. .
"Bold!!"
"Arrogant!!" Several Xiliang generals stood up and roared at Zhou Tai.
It's a pity that just because of Zhang Bao's head, there was a complete rift between the two parties.
Zhou Tai made a quick decision and decided to lead the team to leave Xiaqu Yangcheng early tomorrow morning.
It's harder to stay under Dong Zhuo's command than imagined!
"Everyone, no matter what happens, His Majesty will remember everyone's contribution to Zhang Bao's death. There is no need for this." Zhou Tai said solemnly.
Is what you said the same as what we think? ! The Xiliang generals continued to look at Zhou Tai angrily.
That fierce and ferocious aura was like a giant beast from the wild.
This time, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others who were watching frowned.
It turns out that the people of Xiliang are really tough! Is it right for them to follow? !
Guan Yu, who was familiar with Spring and Autumn Period, also frowned at this moment.
"It seems that before the Lord comes, I still have to go north!" Zhou Tai said helplessly to himself.
"Everyone, as General Zhou Tai said, we all have a share of the credit for killing Zhang Bao. Isn't it true that Dong Taishou was also promoted to Zhonglang General? You don't need to be so anxious. We will attack Zhang Jiao together in the future. You know , Zhang Jue’s head is the most valuable!” Gongsun Zan stood up and acted as a peacemaker.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others comforted everyone and asked everyone to sit down. Gongsun Zan is stepping down for them.
In fact, after knowing that Zhou Tai had passed Zhang Bao's head and merit documents to Luoyang, the sacred capital, they knew that there was no chance. It's just that I can't get along with that tone.
"Report! Urgent report!"
"Dian Wei is coming!"
