The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking of what Zhang Wen said before, Liu Tao understood that his previous performance really made it difficult for these big guys.However, this is the first time he has experienced such an aboveboard exclusion.

"Give more!" Liu Tao replied, "The original purpose of my coming to Liangzhou was to get a batch of good Liangzhou horses. It would be better to have Dawan horses!"

"As the last general's admiration for the general..." Dong Zhuo smiled when he heard this, he could see that Liu Tao was already planning to compromise.In fact, if they can get along, he doesn't intend to expose his cruel side, "Dong is willing to give the general five hundred good horses from Liangzhou! Dawan horses can give around ten horses... As for More, maybe they can be hooked up, or sold to the general!"

"I'm going to get a batch of supplies. I can't take that much with me. You can estimate the price and see how many war horses you can buy!" Liu Tao replied, "As long as I get the things, I will naturally leave."

"It's easy to say, easy to say..." Dong Zhuo smiled, those supplies are useless to Liu Tao, who is about to leave, but they are very useful to him who is fighting on the front line.Not only can you use it yourself, but you can also distribute it to other allies to earn some prestige.

After staying in Linjing for five days, knowing that Liu Tao was leaving, Zhang Wen couldn't help expressing his emotion, but he was actually relieved.

Whether the materials should be given or not, Liu Tao kept some for the return journey, and gave Dong Zhuo the rest.The latter wrote a warrant, telling Liu Tao that the horses were all in the east of the river, and they could pick them up along the way.

Also, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to wander around with thousands of war horses with his army. It would be a disaster if he was robbed by thieves.

Then on the fifth day, Liu Tao received a transfer order from the court.First, Liu Ge was transferred back to Luoyang, and at the same time Liu Tao was ordered to return to Yunzhong.Calculating the time, this transfer order should have been sent to Luoyang before and after Dong Zhuo found him.

"Surprisingly, courtesy comes first and soldiers come first..." Liu Tao tossed the transfer order aside, always feeling very upset.I fought life and death on the front line, fought so many victories, and in the end, I was ordered to return to the cloud.

He seemed to have some sense of what Yue Fei felt back then.Working for others, when your status and influence are not high enough, in the final analysis, it is a pawn in the upper-level game.

No need to think about it, the Yuan clan used some political concessions in exchange for Liu Hong's compromise.Of course, I'm probably afraid that if he wins like this, he will get too much limelight, and even consider the emotions of the frontline soldiers...

Anyway, Liu Tao is just upset, it's one thing to leave voluntarily, but it's uncomfortable to be chased away by your schemes.Even thinking about whether to continue to use the autonomy of the battlefield, and then take a good wave before leaving.

"My lord, it's not bad to hide your clumsiness properly." Seeing Liu Tao's uncertain expression, Guo Jia stepped forward to persuade him, "At least it can make the court, mainly His Majesty, feel at ease."

If the imperial edicts can be disrespected at first, then Liu Hong probably thinks that Liu Tao is difficult to control, even disobedient, and has his own ideas.

"I didn't say I didn't respect this order!" Liu Tao retorted, "I'm just thinking about how to maximize the benefits!"

"It's simple..." Guo Jia laughed when he heard the words, "It's good to complain to the court and then blackmail more."

Liu Tao is only 24 this year, very young, impulsive and aggressive, and even plays a little bit of temper when necessary, which is understandable.In other words, the more personality flaws, the more assured the higher-ups will use them.

"Forget it, it seems like this is the only way to go." Liu Tao thought about it, and finally realized that he could only do that.

The next day, the army assembled and began to return.Seeing Liu Tao leave, both Zhang Wenwen and Dong Zhuo were actually relieved.Huangfusong, who was in the team, and Sun Jian, who had returned to the main force, had complicated expressions.

The two of them probably understood from Liu Tao that as long as political needs are needed, it doesn't matter whether the frontline wins or not.

Of course, you can also excuse that the thieves have not been eliminated, so this battle has not yet won a real victory.But with Liu Tao's strong combat power, as long as there are no major mistakes, no one else is needed. They have 500 people, and they may be able to put down the rebellion.

"Take the thief with peace of mind, this battle is not over yet..." Huangfusong immediately came to Sun Jian's side and warned him.

"Here!" Sun Jian nodded, he naturally understood this.

Liu Tao didn't care about so much here, he turned back all the way, passed by Hedong, took [-] Xiliang horses and [-] Dawan horses, and started to return north in a mighty way.

His memorial will be sent to Luoyang in about two days.Just as he expected, the gentry paid some concessions as the price, and they had to transfer Liu Tao back under the pretext of "the prefect of Yunzhong left the county for more than six months."

I thought that Liu Tao would have emotions, but I didn't expect this guy to actually write a letter to complain, and the whole memorial was sour.

"He also knows how to play temper with me..." Liu Hong smiled faintly, "But he did perform very well this time, not to mention that he defeated tens of thousands of ambush soldiers in Qi County before, and then actually set fire to the company battalion and defeated [-] thieves' army... It's a pity There is no way to wipe out the thieves."

After thinking about it, he looked at Zhang Rang beside him: "Father Rang, how do you think I should reward him?"

"The palace just needs to replace a group of maids, so why don't you send them all to him. In addition, you can give some appropriate rewards in terms of money and silk, and the most important thing is to be promoted!" Zhang Rang replied, "I don't need too many rewards, after all. Frontline service is his initiative."

"As expected of Rangfu!" Liu Hong laughed, but these words were somewhat ironic.

Chapter 357

Recently, Liu Hong suddenly discovered that his confidant Shi Changshi began to have some ideas of his own.

Originally, the subordinates were somewhat selfish, which is understandable, and the overall situation is the most important, so they pretended not to see some of their small actions.But when it comes to right and wrong, he will be very upset if Shi Changshi doesn't stand by him, or makes some small moves.

Just this time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong actually interceded with the gentry, which was rare in the past.Maybe it's because the gentry are taking the initiative to give in and compromise on some things this time. They think this is something that can make them happy...

It's just that they should understand that they are not the kind of mediocre monarchs who are content with just taking a name. It doesn't matter if the title of "faint king" has been carried for so long, that's because as long as he succeeds in seizing power, then one day, everything will be reversed.

All the 'stupid' things I did in the past will also be said to be 'bearing the burden of humiliation'.

If he is real, he will only get some fame benefits this time, but not only has no actual benefits, he even lost a lot.If it wasn't for worrying about the soldiers on the front line, he might really be a little emotional. I'm afraid he wouldn't transfer Liu Tao back.

But one thing, the gentry guessed right, and he didn't want Liu Tao to get great credit.Domestication is a slow process, and a young man suddenly ascends to a high position, and it is easy to have some bad thoughts.

If there is turmoil in Liangzhou, the choice between Liu Tao becoming a powerful minister...he doesn't know which one he should choose, after all, it is difficult to choose.The reason for choosing the latter in the end is that Liangzhou has no way to continue the chaos, and the harm is less.

"It's a mess, and the reasoning is still chaotic..." Back in the bedroom, Liu Hong didn't have anyone to accompany him today.Lying on the bed alone, looking at the curtain, he said with emotion, "Liangzhou has no more potential for turmoil, and the main force of the rebel army has been wiped out, leaving the remnants... Zhang Wen will not let me down."

He turned over and continued to mutter: "If it doesn't work, then use Huangfusong again..."

On the other hand, let's say that Liu Tao set off in mid-February and returned in the blink of an eye in mid-June.Four months passed like this, most of the time was spent on the road, and the actual battle was only a few days.

"When other people fight, they test each other, and then look for the opportunity to fight. It's convenient for us. At least it's really easy to find the opportunity." Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he was about to go to Yunzhong County.

"And even if we face the enemy head-on, an enemy three times our size, there is no need to worry." Lu Bu echoed.

"What three times, even if it is five times, we will not be afraid!" Zhang Fei raised the bar directly.

"I'm talking about normal circumstances, and the Lord is there, so of course the situation is different!" Lu Bu retorted.

The others were not surprised either. Lu Bu and Zhang Fei seemed to dislike each other by nature, and bickering happened from time to time.Fortunately, everyone has a bottom line and did not cross it easily.

After a long time, Liu Tao also noticed that the two have somewhat similar personalities, and they both have the personality of 'I am number one in the world'.

Don't look at Huang Zhong's pressure now, from the perspective of the two, Huang Zhong is in his 40s, and his peak has long passed, but they are still young.The title of the number one general under Liu Tao's command must be contested no matter what.

In other words, it is because warriors have a goal to pursue that they can continue to become stronger, right?Thinking about it carefully, both Lu Bu and Guan Yu actually became arrogant after being recognized as 'invincible', and then something went wrong.

"Okay, it's been more than four months since we left in a blink of an eye, everyone go back and have a good rest!" Liu Tao immediately stopped, "I specially approve that everyone will take a five-day vacation, as long as you don't make trouble!"

"In the blink of an eye, it will take more than four months to travel, which is long enough..." Guo Jia also began to feel emotional.

"If I didn't go to Baibo Valley on the way, I think I can come back three days earlier..." Yan Liang complained, not knowing why, Liu Tao said on the way to visit Baibo Valley, but there was nothing there, but in the end Two or three days were wasted.

Liu Tao didn't say the reason, and it's not easy for everyone to ask, but Yan Liang is still somewhat curious.

"I wanted to see if a general was there, who knows if he is..." Liu Tao was not afraid to tell the truth.

After a pause, he introduced in detail: "This person's surname is Xu Minghuang, his name is Gongming, and he is from Yang County, Hedong County. He was a county official in the early days, but I asked him when I went to Anyi before, and there was no such person. So he should have left , in my impression, he will join the Baibo Yellow Turban, but it seems that the thieves have not yet occupied the Baibo Valley, so they just ran for nothing."

Another point is that I plan to prepare a wave of experience points in the past.

Speaking of the previous battle, although strictly speaking, more than [-] thieves were defeated, the thieves in Linjing County seemed to be considered as a whole, so it was calculated based on the scale of more than [-], and there will be Ma Teng in the follow-up The [-] cavalry from the army were also counted.

Here he noticed a problem, that is, the more than 1 thieves in the east of Linjing County who did not directly participate in the battle, each only provided [-] experience point.
