Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

"Good! Good!" Zhang Chen nodded, "Come here, pass my order to collect the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle and transport them back to Guangping for a proper burial."

Zhang Chen's bold words made the soldiers excited, and even Zhang He, Gao Shun and others beside him were also excited at this moment.

Qu Yi watched from the side, smiled knowingly, and nodded silently.

At this time, the city gate suddenly opened, and a young scholar led dozens of soldiers and walked out of the city quickly.

The general who was commanding the battle at the east gate just now saw the young scholar and hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Dong."

"Lieutenant Jiang, quickly follow me to pay respect to Master Zhang." Dong Zhao said, and walked towards Zhang Chen.

When he came in front of Zhang Chen, Dong Zhao said to Jiang Qi: "This is the Guangping County Magistrate, Mr. Zhang."

After saying this, Dong Zhao turned to Zhang Chen, bowed his head and said: "Mr. Zhang is so righteous that he led his army to rescue the people of the city in this time of crisis. Dong Zhao, on behalf of the people of the whole county, would like to thank you for your kindness!"

After saying this, Dong Zhao bowed.

Jiang Qi, who was standing by, looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "Master Zhang? Is it Master Zhang Zifan, who defeated three thousand bandits in four camps with only seven hundred county soldiers?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It's me."

Jiang Qi was shocked when he heard this and bowed down quickly, "It turned out that Master Zhang led his troops to rescue our people. I am Jiang Qi, the lieutenant of Yantao County, and I thank you, Master!"

Zhang Chen saw this and quickly helped the two of them up, saying, "You don't have to be so polite. Zifan, as a Han official, how can you sit back and watch the bandits wreak havoc in the prefectures and counties and bully our people?"

While helping the two up, Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and quietly used the "Eye of Insight" to look them up and down.

[Name: Dong Zhao]

[Owned entries: Celebrity (blue), Perceptive (purple), Farsighted (gold)]

[Perceptive (purple)]: You have a unique eye for insight, and can see through the details and distinguish right from wrong. (It is easier to see through the enemy's spies and internal responses, and it is easier to see through the counter-espionage strategies)

[Foresight (Gold)]: You have a unique strategic vision, can see the situation clearly, and assist the lord in making long-term plans.

This Dong Zhao is quite capable!

Although Dong Zhao is not a first-class strategist in the Cao Wei camp, his strategic vision has laid the foundation for Cao Wei.

It was he who proposed to move the emperor to Xudu, allowing Cao Cao to firmly hold the emperor in his hands. It was he who proposed to imitate the establishment of titles in the pre-Qin period, which led to Cao Cao's step-by-step promotion and sitting on the position of Duke of Wei and King of Wei.

It can be said that Dong Zhao is a strategist who has made Cao Cao a powerful minister step by step.

Zhang Chen will achieve great things in the future, and such a person must not be let go!

Zhang Chen thought to himself, and looked at the general next to him, and then he realized that the man was not simple either.

[Name: Jiang Qi]

[Owned Entries: Extraordinary Strength (Blue), Skilled Swordsmanship (Blue), Skilled Archery (Blue), Loyalty (Blue)]

This man has 4 blue entries, so he seems to be no unknown person.

Zhang Chen thought about it briefly and suddenly remembered that Yuan Shao seemed to have a general named Jiang Qi in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

During the Battle of Guandu, Ju Shou thought that Chunyu Qiong was a drunkard by nature, and sending him to guard Wuchao would definitely cause trouble, so he advised Yuan Shao to send Jiang Qi to lead the army to protect the grain, but unfortunately his advice was not adopted. Later, as Ju Shou said, Chunyu Qiong was drunk and greedy, and Cao Cao burned Wuchao, burning all the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army.

It seems that there are only these few records about Jiang Qi in the historical materials, and he did not see any outstanding achievements later.

However, even if there is no outstanding record, those who can leave their names must be much better than ordinary people. It is not a problem to appoint them as lieutenants or lieutenant generals.

Zhang Chen helped the two up and said to Dong Zhao: "It is you, Lord Dong, who remained calm in the face of danger today and made good arrangements, making the enemy army invulnerable. If not, even if Zhang led the army here, I am afraid that the city would have been broken long ago."

Dong Zhao said: "As the head of a county, this is my duty. Everyone, this is not the place to talk. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. Please follow me into the city with the generals."

"Lord Dong, please."

After that, Zhang Chen led a group of generals and soldiers into the city.

Dong Zhao first ordered Jiang Qi to place the troops in the military camp west of the city, and ordered the medical officer to treat the injured soldiers in detail and not to neglect them.

Then, Dong Zhao led Zhang Chen and his party to the county government office.

As soon as he entered the county government office, he saw a man tied up in the court, with three or five soldiers guarding him.

When the soldiers saw Dong Zhao, they hurried forward and said, "Sir."

Dong Zhao glanced at the man with disdain and resentment.

Dong Zhao said to Zhang Chen and others, "Please take a rest. Let me take care of the county affairs first, and then have a feast with you."

After that, Dong Zhao stepped into the court, sat in front of the desk, and looked down coldly.

There was a sound of "pop", the gavel rang, and Dong Zhao shouted: "Bold Geng Wen, do you know your crime?"

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate knows your crime, your subordinate knows your crime!" The tied man was kicked to the ground by the sergeant, and he kept muttering.

It turned out that this person was none other than the county magistrate who took the opportunity to slip out of the city before the war. And the reason why he slipped away was not because of cowardice, but because he had been bribed by the Black Mountain Bandits and was ready to quietly open the city gate at the critical moment.

Imagine that when the two armies were fighting, the person who could open the city gate would naturally not be an ordinary citizen, but someone with certain authority in the county.

The county magistrate was the deputy of the county magistrate, so it was naturally much more convenient for him to do this.

Before the war, Geng Wen took the opportunity to slip down from the north gate tower, but he did not hide, but went straight to the east gate, ready to order the soldiers guarding the city to open the city at the critical moment. Among the soldiers guarding the city, many of them had been bribed by him.

But Dong Zhao had already noticed all this. So from the beginning, he had his soldiers follow him quietly. Sure enough, when Geng Wen was about to give the order to open the city, he was captured on the spot by the soldiers following him.

Zhang Chen watched from the side and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It seems that this is the effect of [Observing the Autumn Details], it is really powerful, otherwise, if this thief succeeded today, Yan Tao would have fallen into the hands of the thief!

Zhang Chen was thinking about it, and he heard Dong Zhao shouting: "Geng Wen, you are the county magistrate, the parent of a county, but you don't think about protecting the territory and the people, but collude with the thieves. Today, I will never tolerate it! Come on, push this thief out and chop him off!"

"Sir... Sir, spare my life, sir!" Geng Wen was frightened when he heard it.

The soldiers around him got the order, grabbed him and dragged him out.

Dong Zhao is really not simple to kill decisively.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although Geng Wen committed a serious crime, he was an official after all, and should have been reported to the county or even the state government before being dealt with. But Dong Zhao ignored it and directly ordered him to be beheaded. His method was so fierce that it was frightening.

At this time, Dong Zhao had walked down from the case and said to everyone: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I didn't expect that under my rule, such a person who was disloyal and colluded with the traitors would appear. Today, he almost harmed the people of the city. This is Dong's fault."

"You don't have to say that, sir. Such people who bring disaster to the country and the people should be killed!"
