A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 218 Inside the Xiegu pass

"What do you want to say?" Seeing that Zhang Liang stopped talking, Du Huo subconsciously asked.

"I'm at a loss for words and don't know how to persuade..."

Zhang Liang shook his head resentfully. To him, these words contained helplessness and hardship.

"Are you short of words? This is an interesting thing!" Du Huo smiled and responded as if joking.

But his words sounded uncomfortable to Zhang Liang.

As a result, the two of them were entangled in this uncomfortable atmosphere for more than two hours.

Sunset on the west mountain, the only sliver of sunset left at the Xiegu pass is now the last corner left.

Since the battle had just passed, the Xiegu pass was almost in chaos.

Cao Zhang came back in a big defeat, looking a little depressed.

In the Chinese army's tent, there were a few scattered people standing there. Counting them carefully, this should be the third group of people.

These people came here with only one purpose, and that was to ask Cao Zhang for military pay.

They are basically generals above the rank of lieutenant general, with thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers under their command.

In this campaign, the number of soldiers was seriously depleted, and they were responsible for expanding their armaments.So in desperation, they could only come here to ask Cao Zhang for military pay, and then use the military pay to expand the reserves of soldiers and weapons.

However, although they are the third batch of people, their results are no different from the previous two batches.

Regarding their request, Cao Zhang rejected them almost without any thought.

After a big defeat, every place needs money and food to appease, but Cao Zhang doesn't have much gold and silver here. If every place distributes them equally, then when the money falls into the hands of every soldier, there will probably be very little left. .

Even, because of too little money and food, doing so will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Therefore, Cao Zhang simply waived this requirement, saving himself a thankless effort and earning notoriety.

"Get out of here, we don't have what you want here! If you soldiers want to make trouble, then you can settle them for yourself. If you can't settle it, then you will hand over your official positions and give them to me. Those who are truly capable!"

However, when Cao Zhang was thinking about how to reject the third group of people, Cao Zhi, who was full of alcohol, swayed into the big tent, and scolded the third group of people.

As a result, under Cao Zhi's scolding, the third group of people left in despair!

"Fourth brother, you must have been hungover all night again!"

When Cao Zhang saw Cao Zhi coming here, he said sadly.

"Brother, my brother has never had a hangover, he just drank a few drinks occasionally, and he smelled a little alcohol!" Cao Zhi explained.

"Nonsense, if you weren't drunk, why didn't you succeed?"

Cao Zhang couldn't listen to other people's explanations the most, but as soon as Cao Zhi opened his mouth, he couldn't hide his anger.

"Brother Mo Nu, brother is also troubled by this matter!"

"What are you worried about?" Cao Zhang asked.

"Brother doesn't know, when brother was fighting just now, brother indeed ordered his subordinates to ignite the flames of war and burn the enemy army according to the previous agreement! But who would have thought that the fire was only half burned, and the enemy would see through it. The fire didn't burn up!

Therefore, if brother wants to blame me, brother will not have any complaints, but this matter is really too strange, I hope brother can see clearly! "

Cao Zhi used Jiu Jin to defend himself, but at this time he was also holding back his anger, but it was not easy to vent because Cao Zhang was here!
"Where is Mr. Xun? Where has he gone?"

After listening to Cao Zhi's explanation, Cao Zhang didn't blame him any more, but directly pointed all the blame at Xun You.

"After your big defeat, brother, Lord Xun led his men to the barracks. According to his words, if you return after a big defeat, brother, then Liu Bei will definitely take advantage of the victory and attack our pass. So now is a critical moment. The guards of the pass, We must be on guard!" Cao Zhi replied.

"It's really unreasonable!" Cao Zhang jumped up, his face was red and hot, "Xun You, you must have underestimated me too much! Although I didn't get a bargain in this battle, I didn't let Liu Bei Taste the sweetness!

If you had been watching the battle in the city, you should have seen that Liu Bei had two generals attacking me, but I also let them suffer a heavy loss!
If you look at it from this angle, I should be better than them! "

"Elder brother said, although there is some truth, but it is also a bit unrealistic! If Liu Bei's force is equal to our army, I am afraid that you will lose faster, brother, and even your safety will be difficult to obtain." ensure!

Therefore, regarding the strengths and weaknesses of both parties, I am afraid that we need to discuss carefully to find out! "

When the drunk Cao Zhi spoke, he would always be a little irritating. Although what he said was true at this time, there were some places where he did not take Cao Zhang's face too seriously.

Fortunately, there were no other people in the big tent at this time, so Cao Zhang didn't resent Cao Zhi too much.

If there were outsiders here at this time, then what Cao Zhi said just now would be enough to make Cao Zhang punish Cao Zhi!
But at the moment, just as Cao Zhi finished speaking, Cao Zhang slammed the case again, and his whole body was furious like a thunderbolt, glaring at Cao Zhi with eyes the size of bells.

"Cao Zhi, do you know the consequences of saying this?"

Cao Zhang's questioning immediately shocked the drunk Cao Zhi into a cold sweat.Immediately afterwards, most of Cao Zhi's drunkenness faded away.

"Brother, brother made a slip of the tongue after drinking, I hope brother will not blame him!"

Cao Zhi bowed to Cao Zhang respectfully. At this time, he was obviously much more solemn than before.

"Do you know what stupid things you said just now, if it wasn't for my brother's sake, today I would beat you to pieces!"

Hearing Cao Zhang say this, Cao Zhi immediately realized that Cao Zhang should have forgiven himself.

Although Cao Zhang still looked angry on the surface, at least he didn't have to suffer this punishment.

"Thank you brother for pardoning me, brother will apologize to brother again!"

Cao Zhi saluted again, still in the same respectful manner.

"Okay! I think you're almost sober, go and find Xun You for me now, I have something to ask him!" Cao Zhang waved his hand with displeasure, and then instructed Cao Zhi.

"Take orders! Let's go, brother!"

After receiving Cao Zhang's appointment, Cao Zhi agreed almost without hesitation, and then left the tent.
