Chapter 55 Fighting

As for the impeachment of Zheng Xiaoming and Zhang Wen together, Zhang Ru did not mention it.

It is obvious that people know clearly who is the main enemy and who is the object of unity!

With such a clear mind, Dong Zhuo may have a bright future in the future and will even surpass Huangfu Song!

Although Huangfu Song was more powerful in war, this old man was inevitably a little less politically. He deserved to be from Liangzhou...

However, Liangzhou has produced many military men. However, their Huangfu family is a Liangzhou family, which is logically both civil and military!

Zheng Xiaoming complained in his heart, thinking that you have to cling to me for all the messy things?

He said bluntly: "After years of war, I will be a little exhausted physically and mentally. I want to go back to my hometown to take care of it for two years!"

It means, I will not participate in the destruction among you!

Zhang Ru smiled in his eyes, it would be great that Zheng Xiaoming had this attitude. As long as he did not stand on Zhang Wen's side wholeheartedly, it would be enough!

No matter what, Zheng Xiaoming and Zhang Wen always have to be much closer. It is unlikely to bring Zheng Xiaoming to their side!

In fact, Zheng Xiaoming's actions seemed a bit ungrateful. After all, the nobles of the ancient literature school in the court planned to send Zheng Xiaoming to a place like Youzhou where birds do not come to be county magistrates, county magistrates, etc.

Thanks to Zhang Wen, who pulled him and wanted him to be a military Sima.

Although Zheng Xiaoming has Zhang Rang and He Miao backing him, he will definitely not bring him to Youzhou.

But Zhang Wen reached out to help, this is his personal favor.

So Zheng Xiaoming's behavior is somewhat unkind!

But when it comes to talking about it, Zhang Wen also played Zheng Xiaoming, and at least he used Zheng Xiaoming's hand, which made Zheng Xiaoming's boss unhappy.

That was some time ago, Zhang Wen asked Zheng Xiaoming to appease Dong Zhuo and other Liangzhou troops.

Zheng Xiaoming was a sociable man for a long time, but he did not expect that Zhang Wen would suppress Dong Zhuo by backhand and not allow Dong Zhuo to attack Jincheng County to make contributions, but instead sent him to Hanyang County to attack the fragmented Qiang and Hu.

This made Zheng Xiaoming very embarrassed. He just went to call Dong Zhuo and others to be brothers, and then Zhang Wen sold the person!

What would people say about him, Zheng Xiaoming, and how would they think of him, Zheng Xiaoming?

I'm afraid many people think that Zheng Xiaoming is a sweet-mouthed villain!

This era was the Han Dynasty, which attached the most importance to public opinion and character.

For a reputation, you can lose your family and die without regrets!

This Zhang Wenming used Zheng Xiaoming's reputation!

Therefore, it is already impossible for Zheng Xiaoming to submit a letter with Zhang Wen to impeach Dong Zhuo. It is definitely impossible for both living and dying together, and attacking and retreating together!

In addition, Zheng Xiaoming and Zhang Wen have different political backgrounds, so the two will definitely not be able to get together in the end.

Zheng Xiaoming is the representative of the old surname of Nanyang and a remnant of the Confucianism of the Modern Literature. Although Zhang Wen is from Nanyang, he is a member of the Confucianism of the Modern Literature.

Now Zheng Xiaoming is standing behind Zhang Rang and He Miao, who is following the path of eunuchs and relatives. That Zhang Wen... doesn't seem to be a pure scholar's route!

Zhang Wen was initially promoted by the Central Constable Cao Teng...

By the way, many people are not familiar with the Central Constable Cao Teng. However, Cao Teng was the predecessor of Zhang Rang and others. He was the one who was in power during the reign of Emperor Heng of Han. He was the one who helped Emperor Heng of Han kill Liang Ji and seize power.

Also, Cao Cao, Cao Aman is said to be Cao Teng’s grandson!

Now everyone knows why Cao Aman dared to kill the uncle of the powerful eunuch Jian Shuo because of a small matter when he was the Northern Quarter of Luoyang?

The topic is far-reaching, in short, Zheng Xiaoming expressed his attitude, which made Zhang Ru retreat satisfied.

Next, the news quickly spread and was known to Zhang Wen.

However, Zhang Wen did not summon Zheng Xiaoming to inquire about this matter again. It seems that he knew very well that Zheng Xiaoming and him had exhausted his friendship. It would be difficult to let Zheng Xiaoming stand on his side without giving out huge benefits.

However, Zhang Wen believed that he was sure to win, so he was naturally too lazy to win over Zheng Xiaoming.

Time passed by neither salt nor silence. Next, Dong Zhuo's army was stationed in Anding County, Liangzhou outside Longguan, and fought several small battles with the Liangzhou rebels confronting the river, causing the Liangzhou rebels to suffer a small loss.

Seeing that the weather became colder and the colder days were coming, the rebels in Liangzhou finally gave up and retreated.

Dong Zhuo's army also retreated back to Guanzhong to prepare for the winter.

This winter was just plain and until the beginning of spring, there were no Liangzhou rebels attacking each other. So in March, the court issued an edict to rename Zhang Wen as the Grand Marshal!

The Taiwei is one of the three Dukes of the court and the highest military commander of the court!

However, this is only theoretical.

Since Emperor Guangwu restored the country and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, considering that Wang Mang usurped the throne, the three dukes no longer had real power and only had a rank. The real power was taken over to the Shangshutai with a very low-level rank!

So, when Zheng Xiaoming learned that Zhang Wen was now renamed the Grand Marshal, he knew that he had lost the battle with Dong Zhuo!

In other words, it was not Zhang Wen who lost to Dong Zhuo. It was Zhang Wen who lost to the emperor's suspicion of the commander-in-chief!

If there will be Qiang invaders attacking the border next time, then Zhang Wen can continue to lead his troops. But if the Qiang and Hu don’t come to attack the Sanfu of Chang’an in the next days, then Zhang Wen’s position will be completely unsatisfied!

Obviously, Zhang Wen knew this situation in his heart. His mentality, which was sure to win, disappeared suddenly. He summoned Zheng Xiaoming to discuss the matter of advancing to Jincheng County and taking the initiative to attack the rebels.

However, Zheng Xiaoming refused without hesitation...

Zhang Wen was also dizzy. At this time, the coach and the general were in disagreement, and he actually wanted to take the initiative to attack Qiang and Hu, which was simply seeking death.

Zhou Shen and Yuan Pang died in battle, losing 40,000 to 50,000 people, and Zhang Wen's men had only more than 30,000 people. The remaining 40,000 to 50,000 were in the hands of Dong Zhuo.

At this time, he and Dong Zhuo had already broken their faces, fighting to the death. Zhang Wen wanted to fight, so he asked if Dong Zhuo would agree and if he would pull him back?

Even if Zheng Xiaoming agrees, what is the use of these five thousand soldiers and horses of Zheng Xiaoming?

So Zheng Xiaoming directly refused and asked this question implicitly. He asked him to deal with Dong Zhuo first!

Zhang Wen was also in a hurry and fainted. He calmed down and could only sigh.

If he could handle Dong Zhuo, he wouldn't have made the two of them till now!

Now, without Dong Zhuo’s cooperation, he, the general, could do nothing!

Zheng Xiaoming didn't know whether Zhang Wen would accept his fate next or take another move from other aspects.

However, Zhang Wen will definitely not discuss such a confidential matter with him.
