Two months later, Hedong County.

Five hundred iron cavalry were galloping on the road. The army formation was neat and their movements were in unison. They looked like elite soldiers.

Pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, some timid people started to dodge from a long distance, and no one dared to block their way.

In this way, they traveled unimpeded all the way, and the five hundred cavalry, led by the chief general, soon arrived at Hedongwei's house.

Naturally, the guards of the Wei family did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly went to report, quite a sign of imminent disaster.

"My lord, you have only been newly married for a short time, so you are willing to let go of the princess and come to Hedong!"

On the horse, a black and ugly strong man kept teasing the heroic coach in the middle.

It was Dian Wei and Liu Zhang.

"Come on, your mouth is open again, be careful and the lord will deal with you again!"

Zhao Yun, who was wearing a silver robe and armor and holding a spear, also stepped forward, watching Dian Wei laughing constantly.

"Zilong, you don't know how anxious the Lord's bridal chamber was! I just can't hold him back! Let me see..."

"Shut up! You're the one who talks too much!"

Liu Zhang glared at Dian Wei, then muttered to himself.

"This wedding night, who can be in a hurry! You don't even have a wife, what do you know!"

Dian Wei was taken aback for a moment, suddenly felt that Liu Zhang's words were too reasonable! Immediately changed into a begging expression.

"My lord, I want a wife too. You have to arrange one for me!"

"Want a daughter-in-law? Okay, I'll think about it after you keep your mouth shut!"

Dian Wei directly covered his mouth with his hands, showing Liu Zhang his determination!

Just when a few people were joking, many people poured out of the gate of the Wei family, and the leader was Wei Ke, the current head of the Wei family.

Wei Ji didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly walked up to Liu Zhang and bowed his hands in salute.

"The latter general! I don't know if the general will come to welcome you! Forgive me, forgive me!"

Liu Zhang got off his horse and helped Wei Ke up.

"Brother Boyu, Liu Zhang came here uninvited, what a bother."

Wei Ke immediately felt flattered and thanked him again.

"The latter general can come to the humble house, Wei can't wait for it!"

Liu Zhang looked at the resplendent and resplendent Wei family, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the financial resources of the Wei family!

"Brother Boyu is too modest, the size of the Wei family really opened Liu Zhang's horizons!"

Wei Ke's face twitched, and he suddenly felt bad.

This Liu Zhang must have no good intentions!

"General Empress, this is not a place to talk, please sit in the room for a while!"

Wei Ji dodged half of his body and made a gesture of invitation. But Liu Zhang didn't intend to enter the mansion, but took Wei Ke's hand.

"Brother Boyu, I won't go in and disturb you. This time I came here to ask for something."

"The latter general is polite, as long as Wei Ke can do it, he will never refuse."

No matter what Wei Ke thought in his heart, his attitude really satisfied Liu Zhang.

"Some time ago, I asked Brother Boyu to send a bamboo slip to Xu Huang's old mother. I wonder if it has been delivered?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Ke nodded firmly.

"Wei Qi didn't dare to delay what General Empress ordered. After returning to Hedong, he immediately sent someone to send it over, and personally handed it over to Xu Huang's old mother!"

Liu Zhang suddenly felt a little dull in his heart. Seeing Wei Kai's confident expression, the letter must have been delivered. But Xu Huang still didn't come to vote, probably because his mother didn't agree!

Seeing Liu Zhang's displeased expression, Wei Jiao asked softly,

"Could it be that Xu Huang didn't respond?"

Liu Zhang sighed lightly, then nodded helplessly.

"Rear General, forgive me for speaking bluntly! I have also investigated Xu Huang carefully, and I didn't see any special abilities in him! A small official, who has no ability, but has such airs, why should the latter general care about him!"

Liu Zhang knew that Wei Ji was kind, so he didn't blame him.

Xu Huang's ability will not be discovered until more than ten years later, and it should be that his ability is not very strong now, but his potential is very high.

This kind of rough jade, as long as it is polished a little, will surely amaze the world! How could Liu Zhang give up so easily?

"Brother Boyu, can you please accompany me for a walk, I want to go to Xu Huang's house to take a look."

"The latter general is too polite, Wei Ji is willing to help!"

Wei Ke was very enthusiastic in his mouth, but in fact he didn't want to go at all in his heart.

Xu Huang is in Yang County on Hedong Street, which is already close to Bingzhou! And Wei's family is in Xia County, the two counties are more than 300 miles apart! One can imagine the journey!

But how dare Wei Ke refuse? Liu Zhang seems to have a negotiating attitude, but in fact it means an order! Wei Ke could see clearly!

"Rear General, Xu Huang's family lives in Yang County, more than three hundred miles away from here, how about resting at my house for a night, how about I wait until dawn?"

"so far!"

Liu Zhang was slightly startled. It took almost a day to arrive here from Luoyang, and he didn't expect to have to travel another day.

"Okay, let's bother Brother Bocuo!"

Liu Zhang was not polite either, it was indeed too dangerous to travel at night, especially in the mountains.

One thing more is worse than one thing less. Liu Zhang didn't want to fight for no reason, so he stayed at Wei's house.

At the same time, Zhang Wen had already returned to Luoyang and was secretly escorted into the palace.

At this time, he was extremely embarrassed, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield!

Zhang Wen did it on purpose. He thought that Liu Hong would feel that he had worked hard when he saw this appearance, but he didn't expect that Liu Hong would be furious!

"Look at you! Do you still look like a chariot general! You're just like a beggar!"

"Trash! Idiot!"

Zhang Wen knelt on the ground decadently, no matter how insulting Liu Hong was, he didn't dare to look up into Liu Hong's eyes.

"Your Majesty, my minister Zhang Wen is convicted!"

After Liu Hong had had enough scolding and stopped speaking, Zhang Wen knelt down again and pleaded guilty.

"Convicted? Is it enough to be convicted?"

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more angry he became. After a long time, he spoke again.

"Tell me, I would like to hear, what is your crime!"

"Your Majesty, the minister underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He fell into the trick of the bandit. Not only did he defeat General Bao Hong, but he also lost tens of thousands of troops!"

Liu Hong didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Wen like this, and couldn't help being extremely disappointed when he didn't say anything after waiting for a long time.

"Hehe, Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen, I am so disappointed in you! Even now you still don't know where you went wrong!"

A courtier is not afraid of making mistakes, but most afraid of the king giving up on himself! And the word disappointment perfectly interprets what it means to give up.

Zhang Wen naturally understood this truth, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty is stupid, please give me some advice!"

Liu Hong didn't want to waste a word with this idiot, but for the sake of Zhang Wen's hard work for many years, let him be a fool.

"Do you think you have the ability to command troops? Are you made for war?"

Zhang Wen wanted to say yes, he has! But several battles and defeats! Lost troops and lost generals! That has words, how can he say it!

All he has is shame!
