Wang Lei thought for a while and asked: "What do you think of Zhang Liao's ability?" Jia Xu thought for a while and replied: "Zhang Liao's ability to command troops is very good and he acts decisively. He can be called a good general. Zhang Liao led the troops into Jixian County. I laid a trap to cut off Zhang Liao's retreat. Although he was surrounded, Zhang Liao commanded decisively and fought while retreating. The army was not less panic at all. If the Xiliang army had not been cut off and lacked food, the war would have been a stalemate. ." Wang Lei changed the subject and asked, "Has Zhao Yun done anything unusual since he returned to Ye County?" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "After Zhao Yun returned to Ye County, apart from visiting Tong Yuan at the Prefecture Mufu from time to time, that's all. Practicing martial arts and reading books at his residence. I don't know very well how Zhao Yun's martial arts is. But according to Huang Zhong's judgment, Zhao Yun has devoted himself to studying martial arts and has improved greatly. Huang Zhong said that if he meets him, it will take a lot of effort. Only hard work can win." Wang Lei nodded and thought: I must take Zhao Yun for my own use when I find some time. This talent must be his own. Wang Lei stood up and said: "Sir, come with me to visit Zhang Liao." " "No." Jia Xu stood up and followed Wang Lei. They left the study one after another. After leaving the Prefecture Mufu, soldiers led the way. Wang Lei and Jia Xu took a carriage to the place where Zhang Liao lived. Zhang Liao's residence was in the west. City. Due to the influence of the Taoism Conference, this place was very prosperous. People came and went. It was very lively. When they arrived outside Zhang Liao's residence, Wang Lei was stunned. Soon, Wang Lei looked at the soldiers leading the way and asked: "This is Zhang Liao's mansion. It's definitely not wrong." The soldier said: "It's definitely right." Wang Lei's face was solemn, and his eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Jia Xu also frowned, feeling strange. Zhang Liao shouldn't live in such a house. "Mr. .What's going on?" Wang Lei stared at Zhang Liao's residence and spoke in a bad tone. From the outside, the house in front of him was only as big as the yard where Wang Lei lived. Moreover, the house gave people the feeling of "down and out". .And the door is rotten. The door feels like it can be smashed to pieces with one punch. Such a house makes Wang Lei angry. Jia Xu has said that Zhang Liao is good. Why is he still arranging it like this? In fact, Jia Xu His heart was also full of doubts. He clearly remembered asking the officials to arrange Zhang Liao properly. How could this be the scene? Jia Xu's face also became gloomy. There was a cold light in his eyes. "Knock on the door." Wang Lei said firmly. With a face on his face, he gave an order. A soldier came forward and knocked on the door gently. After a while, the door opened. An attendant in his twenties opened the door and asked: "Excuse me, what can I do? ." The attendant's eyes fell on the soldiers outside. His heart skipped a beat. He thought, something big happened. The soldier said, "Please inform General Zhang that Zhou Mu is visiting." The attendant's face changed slightly. He nodded and said, "Please. Zhou Mu, go to the hall and wait for a moment. I will go and invite the general immediately." The door was open. Wang Lei saw the attendant running back as if he was flying. Wang Lei looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, have you seen the attendant's clothes? Attendant. He is wearing coarse linen clothes. There are patches on the clothes. It can be seen that Zhang Liao's condition is not very good." Jia Xu was puzzled in his heart. What is going on. "My lord, I have neglected my duty." Jia Xu lowered his head and answered. But his eyes narrowed slightly. He was angry with Wang Lei. The people below must be angry with him. A group of people who took money and did nothing. Wang Lei shook his head and said: "I don't mean to blame you. It's just Zhang Liao who is like this The situation, but no one dealt with it, is really disappointing. Just imagine, after Zhang Liao was left out, once he felt dissatisfied and left, Jizhou lost a good general. What should we do?" Jia Xu said: "My lord taught me a lesson." While talking, the two entered the house and went straight to the hall. In the hall, the guests and hosts sat down. After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall. A young man in his twenties appeared in everyone's sight. The young man He has a slender figure, a burly and capable face, and a resolute face. He strode forward with confident and calm demeanor. He was neither humble nor overbearing. This person was Zhang Liao. After entering the hall, Zhang Liao took a few steps quickly, cupped his fists and said, "General Zhang Liao, greetings to the state. Mu." "Sit." Wang Lei waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Liao to sit down. After Zhang Liao sat down, Wang Lei said straight to the point: "Wen Yuan, when I was outside the door, I saw that the mansion you live in is shabby, and the servants in the house are also wearing shabby clothes. Who is the person who placed you? He was so careless. You deserve to die." Jia Xu sighed in his heart. I'm afraid someone is going to be unlucky this time. Of course, this is also his mistake. After arranging the matter, he left it to the people below to handle it. .I didn¡¯t ask. Zhang Liao had led troops for many years and was also a careful person. Hearing Wang Lei¡¯s tone.Wang Lei must have punished the official. Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Zhang Liao is grateful for the state pastor's concern. However, there is a reason why I live here. It has nothing to do with the official who arranged for me. It is my own reason. " "Why." Wang Lei asked. Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, anticipating how Zhang Liao would answer. Zhang Liao said seriously: "In the beginning, the officials arranged a luxurious and elegant residence and gave me a large sum of money for my entertainment. "However, when I led the troops to fight with General Huang, many of my soldiers were injured." "They were slightly injured. After recovery, they can still be carried in the army." "However, the soldiers who were seriously injured and disabled can no longer be used. If you stay in the army, you will get a pension, but after you leave the army, that little money won't last long. Your life will definitely be miserable." "I'm thinking about giving them more money to make their lives easier. So. Sell ??the house and exchange the money and distribute it to the people below." Zhang Liao said with a sincere smile on his face: "I live alone in a house like this. I have no shortage of food and clothing. Every day I have no shortage of food and clothing. I still have a fixed amount of money to give every month. I am already very satisfied." As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. But Wang Lei was in awe. Zhang Liao is worthy of being one of the five good generals. His magnanimity and magnanimity are very extraordinary. Such love How could a general who is like a son not be supported by the soldiers? Wang Lei smiled slightly and said: "Wen Yuan's moral character is admirable. I will send officials to look into the situation of the disabled soldiers." Zhang Liao said: "Thank you very much. Zhou Mu." Wang Lei then said: "Wen Yuan's talent, I heard from Wen He. However, Wen Yuan was promoted too quickly when he first came, which is not conducive to your development. I will temporarily appoint you as Zhonglang General. Wait until the next day. After meritorious service, he will be promoted." "Thank you, lord." Zhang Liao responded with clasped fists. He was quite happy. What he was happy about was not that Wang Lei gave him an official position, but Wang Lei's attitude towards him. Only with Wang Lei's trust and respect did he have the opportunity. Opportunity to make a mark.
