At this time, although Dong Zhuo did not make many military exploits in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he still had a prosperous official career because he was generous with money and often bribed Zhang Rang and other celebrities around Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Without any military exploits, he has been awarded titles one after another, and now he has reached the rank of General Polu.

Although Sun Jian fought bravely, he was upright and did not bother to bribe eunuchs, so he had not yet made his mark. At this moment, he was still a subordinate general under Zhou Shen.

As Zhang Wen was a veteran of the Han Dynasty who was similar in age to Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, Liu Feng did not dare to neglect him even though he was the supervisor of the army. After arriving in Chang'an, he met with Zhang Wen as soon as possible and discussed the situation at that time.

Zhang Wen had long heard of Liu Feng's reputation, and he was even a loyal reader of Longcheng newspapers.

Although Zhang Wen was also interested in"Journey to the West", poetry newspapers and other contents, what really attracted him was the Battle of Liaodong on the first page of the first issue of Longcheng Newspaper.

From those battles, Zhang Wen could feel Liu Feng's military talents and talents.

At this time, Zhang Wen, who had already been hurt by the offensive of the Liangzhou rebels, was very happy with Liu Feng's arrival.

He believed that Liu Feng would not only be able to quickly command the army to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, but this would also be a good opportunity for him to witness Liu Feng's command of the battle.

Therefore, even though Liu Feng's coming to the army as a supervisor would weaken his authority, Zhang Wen did not mind at all and even expressed a warm welcome to Liu Feng's arrival.

Sun Jian had followed Huangfu Song to conquer the rebels during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he had an old relationship with Liu Feng. When he saw Liu Feng, he was also happy and took the initiative to say hello to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng also had a good impression of Sun Jian, a bold and courageous man with a clear distinction between love and hate, so the two chatted quite enthusiastically.

As for Dong Zhuo, as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had been dissatisfied with Liu Feng for a long time because Liu Feng killed Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and other major enemy generals before him, and repeatedly took away his own credit.

I thought that putting down the Liangzhou Rebellion would be another good opportunity to gain military exploits, but I didn't expect that when I arrived, I would catch up with Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the rebels, which greatly increased the strength of the rebels.

Then he suffered another consecutive defeat, and he was already unhappy. Unexpectedly, the imperial court sent Liu Feng as a supervisor to command the battle.

This made Dong Zhuo really angry and worried that his credit would be taken away by Liu Feng again.

Just when everyone was happy or angry about Liu Feng's arrival, suddenly a report came from the scouts: Bian Zhangzheng, the leader of the Liangzhou rebels, was leading an army east to attack Chencang, the gateway to Chang'an.

After receiving this news, in addition to Liu Feng, the army commander Zhang Wen, Zhou Shen, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian were all frightened and panicked.

After all, Chencang is the gateway for Liangzhou to march eastward to Chang'an. If Chencang falls, the Lianzhou rebels will have the opportunity to directly march eastward and attack Chang'an.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo immediately suggested that Zhang Wen send troops to Chencang to relieve the siege.

He said:"General Zhang, the rebels are besieging Chencang at this time, and they must be hoping to complete their victory in one battle.

If they take Chencang, there will be a smooth road from Liangzhou to Chang'an, with no other city buffers in between, only a smooth road.

With the elite of Huangzhong Yi Cong, our army will no longer be able to resist.

Therefore, we must send troops to assist before they capture Chencang and assist the defenders of Chencang to repel the aliens."

Zhang Wen listened to Dong Zhuo's words and lowered his head seriously. Think about it.

Liu Feng saw that Zhang Wen seemed to be quite interested in Dong Zhuo's proposal, and couldn't help but sigh that although Zhang Wen was an old man in the court, his ability to lead troops in battle was still much worse than Huangfu Song's.

Perhaps it was because his arrival changed the original historical process. In the original history, due to the unfavorable war, Zhang Wen had been dismissed from his post by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

During the siege of Chencang, the imperial court had to use Huangfu Song again.

At that time, Dong Zhuo also suggested sending troops to assist Chencang, but Huangfu Song refused. Later facts proved that Huangfu Song's decision was completely correct.

But at this time, because of his outstanding military talents, Liu Hong did not remove Zhang Wen, but allowed himself to serve as a supervisor to assist Zhang Wen in suppressing the rebellion.

However, Zhang Wen did not have Huangfu Song's ability, and he was actually tempted by Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

So Liu Feng had no choice but to object before Zhang Wen agreed to Dong Zhuo's proposal:"General Zhang does not need to waste his troops to rescue Chencang.

Although the rebels are numerous and have besieged Chencang for many days, how can Chencang, as the gateway to Chang'an, be so powerful?" Was it easily defeated?

Not to mention that the rebels were mainly composed of Qiang and Xiaoyuezhi's Huangzhong Yi Cong foreign cavalry, who were not good at attacking cities. How could it be said that Chencang City was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack? Can a mere foreign cavalry break through?"

Before Liu Feng could say anything, Dong Zhuo interrupted angrily:"General Zhang cannot listen to Liu Feng's nonsense.

The location of Chencang is extremely important. If it is broken through, the consequences will be disastrous.

Even if it is attacked at this time , The emperor must have been unable to sit still. If our army does not send troops again, we may make the same mistake as Huangfu Song and be directly escorted back to the court to await trial." After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Feng couldn't help but smile and said:"It turns out that Dong Zhuo The general is afraid that he will be recalled to the court by the emperor and will not be able to perform meritorious deeds, so he only wants to send troops to assist Chencang.

But don't worry, Chencang will not be easily conquered. We should continue to wait patiently.

The aliens are not good at attacking cities, plus Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu are led by Han Bian Zhang. If they are unable to attack for a long time, they will think that Bian Zhang has evil intentions. At that time, the morale of the rebels will be low and there is a possibility of internal strife. That will be the best time to attack."

Sun Jian also agreed with Liu Feng's words. He also raised his hand and said to Zhang Wen:"General Zhang and his subordinates also believe that King Liaodong's strategy is feasible. The walls of Chencang are high and strong, and there are enough defenders in the city and enough food and grass. There must be no problem.

If our army goes to support now, if the aliens cannot attack the city, they will find our army as a target to vent their anger. Then our army will definitely have another hard battle.

If we win, we will lose a lot of troops, and if we lose, we will lose a lot of troops. The fallen morale of the foreign tribes has been rekindled."

Zhang Wen listened to Liu Feng and Sun Jian's suggestions, pondered for a moment, and said:"The King of Liaodong has been fighting against the foreign tribes all year round, and his understanding of them is far better than ours.

Since the King of Liaodong said so, then Act according to the plan of the King of Liaodong."

Sure enough, half a month later, the rebels could not attack Chencang for a long time, and their morale dropped drastically. Zhang Wen, on Liu Feng's suggestion, led his troops to attack and finally defeated the rebels.

Liu Feng then personally led three thousand red-blooded dragon riders among the rebels to kill the leader Bian Zhang.

Dong Zhuo's resentment towards Liu Feng reached a climax when he saw that Liu Feng not only killed the leader of the thieves and took the first credit this time, but also accomplished this achievement after proposing a completely opposite plan to his own.
