At this moment, a figure suddenly popped up next to him and shouted at Sima Shi: "General, show mercy!"

Sima Zhao was angry, not to mention that the whip had already been swung, so it was reasonable to stop. However, the figure quickly blocked Chen Yang and whipped Chen Yang with his back.

"Bang!" The whip sounded loudly and slapped firmly on the back of the visitor.

Sima Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and everyone else was also stunned, thinking, Who is this? Will he suffer on behalf of others?

Although the whip was whipped loudly, it was nothing serious. After all, the person who came was wearing armor. The whip would not cause any harm when whipped on the armor. However, because he did not wear a helmet, the tip of the whip swept to his neck, leaving a light red blood mark on the back of his neck.

The visitor turned around and bowed to Sima Zhao with his fists and said, "This is not their fault. If the general wants to punish him, then punish him."

Sima Zhao glanced at him and said that it was not someone else, but Zhang Tong, the governor of the grain.

Zhang Tong had served as Yu Linlang before, and later moved to the palace to supervise the palace. This time, Sima Yi launched a large-scale northern expedition and recruited a large number of imperial guards to the front line army. Zhang Tong was promoted to the lieutenant of the grain supervision lieutenant, who served under Sima Zhao.

Although Zhang Tong was just a lieutenant, he had the title of Jinyang Marquis. However, the position of this marquis was not earned by him and inherited from his ancestors and fathers. Although Zhang Tong was unknown, when it comes to his grandfather Zhang Liao, everyone knew that Cao Wei's five famous sons and generals made great contributions to the country and country.

Although Zhang Tong's father Zhang Hu was not as famous as Zhang Liao, he was once a general. After his death, Zhang Tong inherited the title of Marquis of Jinyang.

Zhang Tong was the lieutenant in charge of escorting grain and grass. The commander Chen Yang was his subordinate. Seeing Sima Zhao coming over angrily, he was about to hit someone. Zhang Tong rushed forward and took Sima Zhao's first whip on his back. Otherwise, if Sima Zhao hit Chen Yang's face, he would have to break the face.

In fact, Sima Zhao is responsible for escorting grain and transporting grass. He is not unclear about the lack of manpower in logistics, but he was furious when he saw this situation just now, so he took action. However, after hitting Zhang Tongyi's whip, he woke up.

However, it does not exist for apologizing. With Sima Zhao's status and identity, even if he does something wrong, he will not be able to apologize. He had a gloomy face and shouted to Zhang Tong: "Do work quickly, if you are negligent, you will only ask!"

Zhang Tong looked at the logistics soldier who was already sweating profusely. He really wanted to say, "Are you blind? You are almost tired, you are almost like a dog. Can you still be negligent?"

However, facing the irritable second-generation ancestor, Zhang Tong did not dare to speak rudely, so he had to bow his head honestly and bowed: "I will follow the general's order."

Sima Zhao was bored, snorted coldly, and left with a swish of his sleeve.

Zhang Tong touched the back of his neck. The whip mark was so painful that Sima Zhao was too ruthless. Although the armor removed most of the force, even if the tip of the whip was touched a little, it would be unbearable. If it really hit the face, it would be full of flowers.

Chen Yang was very grateful to Zhang Tong. If Zhang Tong had not blocked him just now, he would probably have suffered this whip.

"Zhaowei Zhang, I will never thank you for your kindness. If you are sent in the future, you will be punished by your humble position." Chen Yang said.

Zhang Tong waved his hand and said lightly: "It's a simple task, so why bother with me? Do things."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. Although Zhang Tong was indeed a mere effort, he was kind to him. If he was beaten by Sima Zhao, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die. However, looking at Sima Bing in a long queue, Chen Yang did not dare to neglect and quickly called the logistics soldiers to work.

Zhang Tong left silently. Although he was calmly whipped and looked impermanent on the outside, Zhang Tong's heart was like a knife. Sima Zhao waved the whip indiscriminately in front of so many people. How could Zhang Tong swallow this humiliation?

But what if you can't swallow it? In today's army, the Sima family members are the first heaven. They can do anything unscrupulously. Not to mention being whipped, even if the head falls to the ground, I'm afraid they won't dare to stand up and question it.

Zhang Tong returned to the tent silently and sat there in a daze. The noise outside seemed to have nothing to do with him. For only a moment, maybe he just wanted to stay alone.

Compared to the pain of this whip, Zhang Tong was even more embarrassed. His current identity and position were as the title of Marquis of Jinyang, but he was doing the job of a grain lieutenant. To be honest, he really embarrassed the good generals of the five sons. His grandfather Zhang Liao was so powerful that he was so powerful that he could not even get the title of general. He could only be a small lieutenant.

If it were in the previous dynasty, the lieutenant was still a considerable official position and could command a group of people. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, more wars were fought, more military achievements were made. The names of various generals were sealed everywhere, and the generals were not worth a lot, let alone the lieutenant who was lower than the higher level.

In fact, the lieutenant is just a lieutenant, and he is still a decent military position. However, the lieutenant, who can only be responsible for escorting grain and transporting grass, has no chance to charge into battle, made Zhang Tong very frustrated.

Thinking back to the time when he was Yulin Lang, he stood guard with Cao Liang and called him brothers. But more than ten years have passed. Look at others and then look at yourself. What is the difference between clouds and mud? They are the unattainable white clouds in the sky, and they are just a pile of mud that cannot be supported on the wall.

In fact, Zhang Tong did not have the opportunity to change all this. When the Eastern Wu invaded the border court sent troops to the expedition, Cao Liang volunteered to fight and join the army in the south. At that time, Cao Liang had the idea of ​​pulling Zhang Tong to go together, but Zhang Tong hesitated for a moment and did not follow Cao Liang to go there.

When they started, Cao Liang had the same identity and status as him, but Cao Liang, who left the palace, was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky from then on. The gap between their status and status gradually became like a gap, growing bigger and bigger.

Does Zhang Tong regret it? It is fake to say that he doesn’t regret it. After all, the opportunity in life was once in front of him, and he didn’t catch it. Now when he looks back, Zhang Tong realizes that he is too far apart.

The former brother is now so far away from him, so far away that it is so strange, just like the brilliant Milky Way between them, out of reach.
