Chapter 99

After leaving the camp, all the generals and advisers left the barracks.

And Zhang Liao has been following Gao Shun, hesitating to speak.

After a long time, he still sighed and said, "Brother Yicong, I..."

"Needless to say." Gao Shun shook his head.

He knew what Zhang Liao wanted to say, which was that he was sorry that such a thing happened to Gao Shun. Gao Shun didn't care about Zhang Liao's apology, but he was always curious about another issue.

Gao Shun questioned: "Wen Yuan, you only arrived three or four days earlier than me. What did you do that caused Duke Cao's dissatisfaction?"

Zhang Liao aroused Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, and everyone in the tent had already understood this.

You know, although the thief who assassinated him this time was a soldier under Zhang Liao's command, but the thief mixed up with the soldiers who received him, it should be Xiahou Dun's dereliction of duty.

Cao Cao didn't blame Xiahoudun, which he could understand, but he handed over Zhang Liao's military power to Xiahoudun. It was only because of Zhang Liao's petty actions these days that he was severely punished by Cao Cao.

Yes, it was a heavy punishment. Although Cao Cao repeatedly said that it was a light punishment, everyone felt like a bright mirror in their hearts.

The military commander's greatest dependence - his military power - has been taken away, and he is like a tiger that has been cramped and skinned. Not to mention that there is no threat, but he doesn't even have the strength to kill a chicken.

So what did Zhang Liao do to receive such a punishment?
Seeing Gao Shun's question, Zhang Liao also looked bitter, and said helplessly, "I don't know, I didn't do anything these days, just went to visit a few well-known local..."

Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, Gao interrupted by the way:
"You visited those people?"

"Three days ago I visited Zhao Yan and Zhao Yilang, two days ago I visited Yang Taiwei through Zhao Yilang's relationship, and yesterday I visited Liu Bei's three brothers, that's all three." Great Change: "It can't be because of this."

"Yang Biao, Yang Wenxian, Zhao Yan, Liu Xuande." Gao Shun gasped, "You really know how to pick people."

Yang Biao, a Taiwei, was suspected by Cao Cao because of his relationship with the Yuan family, and was sent to prison. He was released only after Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, interceded, but he was still sent back to the fields to live in seclusion.

Zhao Yan, whose post was Yilang, impeached Cao Cao because of his unfair atrocities. He refused to listen to the emperor's decree, and attacked the ministers privately, and was cut off by Cao Cao.

As for Liu Bei, does that need to be said?

Seeing that Gao Shun's expression was not very good, Zhang Liao quickly said, "I followed Yi Cong's advice to make friends in Xudu."

"It's true that we are friends, but..." Gao Shun didn't know what to say.

When Zhang Liao approached him before, he did give Zhang Liao an idea to make more allies in Xudu, so that no one would speak for him at critical moments, like today.

His original intention was to let Zhang Liao deal more with generals under Cao Cao, such as Sun Dun and others who were colleagues with them, instead of going directly to court officials.

Forget it, it wouldn't be a big problem to find an ordinary Yi Lang, but he still went to Yang Biao and Taiwei Yang.

No matter who Yang Biao is, the fourth generation is innocent, and his reputation in the court is astonishingly good. If Zhang Liao went to him, it would be his own death.

He even went to talk to Liu Bei...Indeed, Gao Shun also thought about having a relationship with Liu Bei in Xudu, but not now, they just arrived in Xudu, and Zhang Liao will be like this. Can Cao Cao bear it?

Perhaps in Zhang Liao's view, he is just making friends normally, but in Cao Cao's view, that is forming a clique, which is a big disobedience!
Even Gao Shun felt that Cao Cao's punishment to Zhang Liao was relatively light, and it was possible that it could be more severe.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no more serious punishment. Removing military power is the biggest punishment for a general. No matter how severe it is, he can only beheaded.

And Cao Cao will not kill his generals because of this, he is still a surrendered general.

This will make people panic, and it is not good for Cao Cao.

In an instant, Gao Shun thought of countless thoughts in his mind.

Then he said: "Wenyuan, please don't make too much noise during this period and be honest."

"But Mr. Cao's mission..." Zhang Liao hesitated, obviously not wanting to lose his military power.

"It's okay, just leave it to me." Gao Shun said.

"How good is this?" Zhang Liao felt rather embarrassed. After all, Gao Shun was the real victim this time, and he was only incidental.

"It's okay, it's coming for me anyway, I want to see who wants to kill me." Gao Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said again: "It's just that during this time, you should restrain yourself, avoid the limelight, and just be honest. at home.

If you feel that there is nothing to do, I have a dozen or so children here, you can take them there and teach them martial arts. "

Zhang Liao also knew his situation, hesitated again and again, and said: "Then I will trouble Brother Yi Cong."

"No need to say more." Gao Shun told Zhang Liao a few more words before leaving.

He was also a little puzzled. In the novel, Zhang Liao was not a political idiot. Although he was not good at politics, he would not be stupid enough to put himself in a stalemate. Otherwise, he would not have been conferred a good death.

Now these generals under Cao Cao, not everyone can die well, only a few can achieve success, or die of old age or illness.

But Zhang Liao was one of the few people, but Gao Shun couldn't understand the political ability he displayed now.

While Gao Shun was thinking, he found the soldiers who had previously arranged the trap camp. Under the guidance of the soldiers, he found the camp assigned to the trap camp.

There are four barracks in the east, west, north, south, and only the barracks in the east of the city are special. There is only Cao Cao's Chinese army camp there, and the barracks in the other three directions are all stationed together.

The same is true of Gao Shun's camp, which is stationed in the west of the city.

There is another army in the west of the city, and Gao Shun also learned about it after arriving.

What I saw in the tent before: Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's more than 1 troops occupied a large part of the barracks, and the rest was reserved for Gao Shun's [-] camp.

Don't be too small, you must know that the total number of troops that can be stationed in the city is only tens of thousands, and most of them are Cao Cao's elite soldiers. Those miscellaneous soldiers like Zhang Liao's subordinates are not qualified to station in the city.

Compared to this, Gao Shun is already very satisfied. It is already very good that his [-] camp can occupy a place in the city.

And my neighbor is not a difficult person to get along with.

Xu Huang and Gao Shun only knew him in history, and he had great military skills. He won many victories under Cao Cao, and even defeated Guan Yu in the Battle of Fancheng. Cao Cao praised him for his strict military management: "There is Zhou Yafu Wind", posthumous posthumous posthumous title.

For such a strong general, Gao Shun naturally planned to make more friends.
