Wang Lei thought for a while and asked, "What does Zhang Liao think about Zhang Liao's ability?"

Jia Xu thought for a brief moment and replied: "Zhang Liao has very good ability to command troops. He acted decisively and was a good general. Zhang Liao led his troops into Ji County. I set up a trap to cut off Zhang Liao's retreat. Although I was surrounded, Zhang Liao was in command and retreated. The army did not diminish at all. If the Xiliang Army's retreat was not cut off and there was a shortage of food, the war would have been stalemate."

Wang Lei changed his tone and asked, "After Zhao Yun returned to Ye County, did he have any abnormal actions."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "After Zhao Yun returned to Ye County, he went to visit Tong Yuan from time to time. He was practicing martial arts at his residence. I didn't know much about Zhao Yun's martial arts. But according to Huang Zhong's judgment, Zhao Yun devoted himself to studying martial arts and made great progress. Huang Zhong said that if he met, it would take some effort to win."

Wang Lei nodded and thought to himself: Wait for a while and must take Zhao Yun for his own use.

This talent must be his own.

Wang Lei stood up and said, "Sir, follow me to visit Zhang Liao."

"promise."

Jia Xu stood up and followed Wang Lei and left the study one after another.

After leaving the provincial governor's mansion, the 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. This place was very prosperous, with people coming and going, and very lively. When they came outside Zhang Liao's residence, Wang Lei was stunned.

Immediately, Wang Lei looked at the soldiers leading the way and asked, "This is Zhang Liao's mansion. It's certain that there is nothing wrong."

The soldier said, "It's certainly true."

Wang Lei's face turned solemn, and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Jia Xu also frowned. He was surprised in his heart that Zhang Liao should not live in such a house.

"Sir. What's going on."

Wang Lei stared at Zhang Liao's residence and spoke in a bad tone.

From the outside, the residence in front of me is only as big as the yard where Wang Lei lives. And the residence gives people a two-word feeling... "Down and out". And the gate is decaying. The gate gives people the feeling that it is like punching and can be smashed directly.

Such a residence made Wang Lei angry.

Jia Xu said that Zhang Liao was good. Why did he still make such arrangements? In fact, Jia Xu was also full of doubts. He clearly remembered to ask the officials to arrange Zhang Liao well. How could it be this scene? Jia Xu's face also became gloomy. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Go knock on the door."

Wang Lei gave an order with a stern face.

A soldier stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.

Soon after, the door opened. A servant in his twenties opened the door and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" The servant's eyes fell on the soldiers outside. His heart skipped a beat. He thought, could something big happened?

The soldier said: "Please inform General Zhang and the governor of Zhou to visit."

The attendant's face changed slightly. He nodded and said, "Please wait in the hall. I will go and invite the general immediately."

The door was opened. Wang Lei ran back as if he saw the servant flying. Wang Lei looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe. He saw that the servant's clothes were not there. The servant was wearing coarse linen clothes. There were patches on the clothes. The leopard was peeking through the tube. It can be seen that Zhang Liao's condition was not very good."

Jia Xu was puzzled. What was going on?

"The lord, the minister, is negligent."

Jia Xu lowered his head and replied. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

He was angry with Wang Lei. The people below had to be angry with him. A group of people who had taken money and did not do anything.

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "I don't mean to blame you. It's just Zhang Liao's situation. No one dealt with it. It's really disappointing. Just imagine that after Zhang Liao was neglected, he left after he felt dissatisfied and lost a good general in Jizhou. What should I do?"

Jia Xu said: "The lord taught me a lesson."

While talking, the two entered the mansion and headed straight to the hall.

In the hall, the host and guests sit down.

After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.

A young man of twenty-six or seven appeared in everyone's sight. The young man had a long figure, strong and strong face, and had a strong face. He walked forward with great strides. He was confident and calm in his every move. He was neither humble nor arrogant.

This person is Zhang Liao.

After entering the hall, Zhang Liao walked a few steps and clasped his fists and said, "I will pay homage to the governor of the state."

"sit."

Wang Lei waved his hand and signaled 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 lived in was dilapidated. The servants in the mansion were also worn out. Who was the one who placed you? He was so careless. It was damn."

Jia Xu sighed in his heart. I'm afraid someone will be in trouble this time. Of course, this is also his mistake. After arranging the matter, he will let the people below deal with it without asking.

Zhang Liao has led troops for many years and is also a meticulous person.

When I heard Wang Lei’s tone, I knew that Wang Lei must be punishing officials.

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "The state governor is concerned. Zhang Liao is very grateful. However, there is a reason why I live here. It has nothing to do with the arrangement of my officials. It is my own reason."

"Why?" Wang Lei asked.

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows. Looking forward to what Zhang Liao would answer.

Zhang Liao said seriously: "At the beginning, the officials arranged a luxurious and elegant house and gave me a lot of money to make it easier for me to engage in social activities. However, when I led my troops to fight with General Huang, many of the soldiers under my command were injured."

"After recovering, I can still be carried in the army."

"However, the seriously injured and disabled soldiers could no longer stay in the army. Even if they received a pension, they would not last long after leaving the army. Life would definitely be hard."

"I was thinking about giving them more money and making their lives easier. So I sold the house and distributed it to the people below."

Zhang Liao had a sincere smile on his face and said, "I live alone in such a house. I don't lack food or clothing. I have a fixed amount of money every month. I'm already very satisfied."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lei was awe-inspiring. Zhang Liao is worthy of being one of the five good generals.

His mind and demeanor are very extraordinary.

How could such a general who loves soldiers like his son be unwilling to be supported by the soldiers? Wang Lei smiled slightly and said, "Wen Yuan's character is admirable. The situation of disabled soldiers. I will send officials to inquire about it."

Zhang Liao said: "Thank you, the governor of the state."

Wang Lei said again: "I heard Wenyuan's talent. However, Wenyuan's first come and promoted too quickly is not conducive to your development. I will temporarily appoint you as the General of the Central Army. After making contributions in the future, you will be promoted."

"Thank you lord."

Zhang Liao responded with his fists and was quite happy.

What is happy is not that Wang Lei gave him an official position, but that Wang Lei's attitude towards him. With Wang Lei's trust and respect, he has the opportunity to make a name for himself.
