"General, wait a moment." Immediately afterwards, the officer clasped his fist towards Zhang Heng, turned around and left.
"Thank you, sergeant." Zhang Heng said gratefully.
Zhang Heng's heart was full of joy. He really knew things well, so there was no need for any paperwork. There was nothing trivial in the army. Even to reward the sergeants, there were still paperwork to go back and forth. Zhang Heng once was very worried about this matter.
, Yi Ji gave this method.
Walking in the rain not only hides your tracks, but also has this effect.[
Just when Zhang Heng was rejoicing, the officer had already ridden his horse to the outside of the general's mansion and told Cao Hong's soldiers guarding the gate the news. After hearing the news, the soldiers naturally went to report it.
In the study room of the General's Mansion, Cao Hong was drinking and eating. Guarding the pass was already bleak. If it was a sunny day, he could have pulled out the team to train, but unfortunately it was clearing up after the rain, and the ground was muddy and not suitable for training.
Cao Hong had nothing to do except drink.
"General, the soldiers came to report that Zhang Heng was destined to send pigs, cattle, sheep, and wine to reward the three counties, but the documents were soaked by the rain. The soldiers did not dare to open the switch. Please send someone who knows Zhang Heng to go and identify him."
Suddenly, some soldiers came in and reported.
"Oh." Cao Hong perked up after hearing this and looked quite happy. Recently, there was a lot of food in Guanzhong, but there was less meat, and he had almost finished the wine.
Now here comes the supplement. As for whether he is a spy, Cao Hong is not worried. This one comes from the west, and that one comes from his own territory. What is there to worry about? If Zhang Heng had any objections, he would not be killed by Zhong Yao.
, Sima Yi arranged to stay outside Chang'an City.
Cao Hong knew all about Zhang Heng very well.
However, what the soldier said was right. You must always distinguish between seriousness and falsehood. Thinking about it, Cao Hong ordered: "Go and find the soldiers who recognize Zhang Heng."
"promise."
The soldier agreed and immediately went down to do the work. Cao Hong changed a set of clothes, then got up and walked out of the general's mansion. At this time, several people came towards him.
Cao Hong all knew one of them, a military lord, a military commander, and a school captain.
"General." When the three of them saw Cao Hong, they all bowed to him.
"You all recognize Zhang Heng, right?" Cao Hong asked.
"Exactly." The three men replied.
"Okay, let's go. I will reward each of you with a jar of fine wine later." Upon hearing this, Cao Hong thought that he was completely prepared, laughed loudly, and said.
"No." The three of them agreed in unison.
Immediately, Cao Hong and the others mounted their horses and headed west to the pass. Soon they arrived at the pass.
"General." When the soldiers guarding the pass saw Cao Hong coming, they immediately saluted.[
"Open the city gate." Cao Hong ordered.
"Promise." Seeing this, the soldiers did not dare to stop him and agreed.
With a "squeak" sound, the heavy door was opened. Cao Hong waved his hand and ordered: "Go and identify carefully."
"Promise." The three people from before heard the words and all made a promise and rode out. After the three people recognized each other, they were all happy. Immediately, Zhang Heng was ushered into Guanzhong.
"In order to reward the soldiers in Guan Zhong, the general did not hesitate to come here in the rain. I would like to thank you here." Cao Hong stood up at the foot of the pass and thanked him.
"General, I'm going to kill you." Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng quickly got off his horse and saluted.
Cao Hong was always polite, but when he saw Zhang Heng being like this, he didn't show any pretense. He laughed and said: "General, he must be very tired after coming from a long way. I immediately ordered the meals to be cooked. General, please enter my general's residence first, take a bath, and then don't get drunk."
No return.”
"You should obey your orders." Zhang Heng smiled slightly and said.
Immediately afterwards, the wine, pigs, cattle and sheep brought by Zhang Heng were happily taken away by Cao's soldiers and prepared to be slaughtered. Zhang Heng was introduced to the general's mansion by Cao Hong.
On the road, Zhang Heng rode his horse slowly and looked around. He was secretly frightened by the situation around him. Tongguan is worthy of being the most powerful pass in the world. It not only sits firmly between the mountains, but one man can pass it and no one can open it.
Moreover, the interior is huge, with many military tents and hidden mysteries. Cao Hong led 20,000 troops to guard it, and he was afraid that even a hundred thousand troops would be difficult to capture.
However, he is here. Thinking about it, Zhang Heng felt more and more happy. Precisely because Tongguan was so difficult to conquer, his contribution was even greater.
