When Guan Yu and Ma Chao swept across the Western Regions, Zhao Yun and Zhang He also met on the grassland.

In the main camp, inside the general’s tent.

Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Xi Zhicai sat around him.

Zhao Yun raised his glass, smiling: "In the battle at Wolf Mountain, you two shook the grasslands and became famous. I heard that as soon as the tribes on the grassland heard your names, they were terrified and lived in fear all day long."

"The entire Xiongnu tribe surrendered. This was a great achievement."

"If I hadn't volunteered, I'm afraid you would be under a lot of pressure. Why would you need me to come here to deal with Wuhuan?"

"This is not my attempt to steal the credit, brother. It's really..."

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to finish his words, Zhang He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zilong, we have known each other for quite some time, and I am also the first one to follow the lord."

"Although you followed the Lord to the capital, and I followed you on the grasslands in Bingzhou, we are not so estranged from each other. Is it necessary to be like this?"

Zhao Yun was startled, then a look of relief appeared on his face: "I was really afraid that you had other thoughts."

"After all, you are different from others. We followed the Lord the earliest. I cherish this relationship very much."

"Okay, I was wrong just now. I will drink three cups as punishment."

As he said this, he drank three cups in a row to apologize.

The trace of resentment on Zhang He's face also completely disappeared.

Xi Zhicai said, "Before he came, General Zhang He said that if others came, they might show their power and dampen his enthusiasm, but if Zilong came, it would definitely not be the case. Now it seems that it is indeed the case."

Zhao Yun waved his hand: "We are one family, so we should not have different opinions."

"Originally, the grassland was enough with just the two of you. I came here just to get some credit, but I have to take it away from you. I really can't bear it!"

Zhang He said, "Okay, let's drink."

"You think I didn't know someone was coming?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yun was stunned, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

Zhang He said, "I asked my lord for your permission to be sent here."

"Otherwise, how could such a good thing be yours?"

Zhao Yun was even more puzzled: "Why?"

"The Xiongnu were driven to the border and were difficult to find. You spent half a year figuring out the location of their tribe and finally captured them all. The Wuhuan are in a rich grassland, so they are not difficult to find. They are just under the Wuhuan Mountain. As long as the army approaches, the Wuhuan will definitely not give in. This is a great achievement. You can give me the fat meat that is already in your mouth?"

Zhang He was indignant and stretched out his fist: "You think I am willing? It was the military advisor who said so."

"The merit of destroying the Xiongnu is already great. If we can also destroy the Wuhuan, the entire north will be pacified in our hands. How great is this merit?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'The greater the merit, the greater the master'!"

"My Lord may not consider this issue, but why don't others gossip about it?"

"You don't know how much pressure I'm under."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so sharp-eyed and sharp-eared that you even know what's going on around the lord."

"If people knew about this, I'm afraid..."

Zhang He patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Don't try to be smart in front of me, brother. I don't have any spies. Everything is just the military advisor's guess." "Military advisor?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "General Zilong, don't look at me like that. I am not very sharp-eyed or sharp-eared, but I know that some merits can be taken, and some need to be shared."

"My lord sent General Guan Yu to the Western Regions for a simple purpose, which was to ensure that the credit for destroying the Qiang people and pacifying the Western Regions would not fall on one person."

"Ma Teng and Ma Chao are not trustworthy. General Zhang He is definitely stronger than them."

"But people need to know themselves."

"My lord is very broad-minded, but we can't make things difficult for him."

"Taking the initiative to apply has only advantages and no disadvantages."

"I just didn't expect that the Lord would be so considerate of us and let General Zilong, an acquaintance, come here. There shouldn't be any problem with the cooperation going forward."

Zhang He sighed softly: "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"What is the purpose of our living in the open air? Isn't it to help our Lord create an unprecedented prosperous era? For the prosperity of the entire nation."

"I didn't expect that there are still people gossiping about me. It makes me uncomfortable!"

"If I really had other thoughts, it wouldn't be wrong, but I really cared about my master, but those people..."

After drinking two glasses of wine, Zhang He naturally expressed all the depression in his heart.

Zhao Yun patted Zhang He on the shoulder and said, "You have misunderstood me, my lord. You have underestimated me even more."

"When I came here, the Lord specifically chatted with me and said that the first thing he wanted to do when he came to you was to solve the depression in your heart."

"In fact, these villains' words are not the advice of others, but the Lord thinks they are inappropriate."

"Not suitable?"

Zhao Yun said: "Since ancient times, among all the generals who have made great contributions, which one can finish the work from beginning to end?"

"Not to mention Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing, who among them had a good end?"

"You never have enough credit. Too much strength will easily break you."

"My lord, this is to protect you."

"Even if you didn't take the initiative to send someone here, the lord would have sent me here. The reason why I was chosen was to make it easier for you to accept. It's not like he wouldn't give me any share of the matter of horses trampling on the grassland, right?"

"If you hadn't acted earlier, I would have gone to Wolf Mountain. How many generals have fought there since ancient times?"

"Not only did you arrive, you also killed the Xiongnu Chanyu and led hundreds of thousands of people south."

"How can I not envy you for your ability and experience?"

When Zhang He learned that it was Ye Feng's love, a smile appeared on his face: "I said that the lord would not disbelieve me!"

"I feel much better now. I just treat other people's words as fart."

"Come on, don't go home until you're drunk tonight!"

"drink!!"
