Chapter 352 is booming! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…2909~)

Zhang Liao saw that Quan Cong had actually dug a trap and smiled awkwardly:

"Captain Quan is indeed a well-traveled man, he is indeed very knowledgeable!
"If you hadn't noticed the clues in advance, I'm afraid our army's Thunderbolt Chariot would have fallen into the trap set by the enemy!"

Quan Cong didn't feel very happy.

On the contrary, from Wei Xu's words just now, I deeply felt the meaning of the phrase "low position, low words".

As expected, before your status is high enough, there will always be people who question what you say.

And people with high enough status, even if what they say is wrong, will be regarded as a guiding principle by many people...

But Quan Cong was quite open-minded.

Since this is the rule of the world.

Then he just needs to abide by these rules and improve his status as much as possible.

At that time, what he says will naturally be taken seriously by others!

Under the command of Zhang Liao, Quan Cong led the army to conduct a search along the entire road.

Soon almost all the traps were found.

On the city wall of Luocheng.

Zhang Ren's face had already become extremely ugly as he watched the enemy's actions!

If the soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain were discovered, it was the result of the enemy's caution and rich experience.

Then the very hidden trap they set on the main road was also discovered, which means that there are indeed hidden talents among the enemy!

There are top talents in every aspect!
Faced with an army with so many talented people, even if they have the advantage of geographical location, can they really defend Luo City?

Fortunately, Zhang Ren quickly regained his confidence.

After all, the preparations they have made are far more than just this.

Since these little tricks can't stop the enemy's advance, we can only see the real results on the front battlefield!
……

Soon, Quan Cong had checked all the traps on the road.

Lu Bu looked at the young man who had been busy for half a day, and a hint of approval appeared in his eyes.

The mountain does not refuse to be thin and thin, thus becoming dangerous; the sea does not refuse to be rich and vast, thus becoming deep.

The mountain does not reject tiny pieces of earth and rocks, and thus achieves its greatness;

The sea does not refuse abundant water flows, which makes it deep.

Quan Cong is really working hard according to this sentence and constantly accumulating his own growth.

Such talents deserve more encouragement from him!

Lu Bu immediately rode forward and said to Quan Cong:

"Thank you for all the hard work, Captain. If you hadn't discovered the traps in advance, you would have dismantled them.

“I’m afraid our army will lose a lot of Thunderbolt Chariots.

"This is a great achievement. I will promote you to the rank of Jianwu Commander. I hope you will continue to work hard!"

I heard that Lu Bu actually rewarded me now and promoted me directly by one level.

Beneath Quan Cong's calm expression, there is a heart that is extremely excited!
It is important to do things down to earth, but sometimes it is equally important to meet a leader who is willing to appreciate you!

Quan Cong suppressed his inner surprise and bowed to Lu Bu:

"Thank you, my lord..."

Lu Bu raised his hand:

"All the lieutenants have been busy for a long time and are tired. Let's go and rest first."

Quan Cong shook his head:

"I have just been promoted, so I should serve my lord even more!

“Although the traps have been eliminated, many holes have been left to be filled.

"I need to fill the gap quickly, otherwise it will delay the army for a long time."

Seeing that Quan Cong was full of energy, Lu Bu did not say much. He just reminded him to combine work and rest, and then turned around and went to the front army.

However, the two did not notice that Wei Xu, who had just returned from the front army, had a hint of jealousy in his eyes...

By the time Quan Cong had dug soil from the mountain and filled all the holes, the sky had gradually darkened.

However, the front army had already occupied the advantageous terrain in front of Luocheng and set up camp. The next step was to transport the siege equipment such as the Thunderbolt Chariot to the vicinity of the camp.

Just when Quan Cong was about to take a break, Wei Xu suddenly came up to him and said indifferently:

"Captain Quan, the soldiers are pushing the equipment in the dark, why are you lazing around here alone?"

Quan Cong looked at the mockery and contempt in Wei Xu's eyes and sighed secretly in his heart.

Is this the legendary workplace bullying?

I had heard his father talk about similar experiences before, but I never thought that I would encounter the same thing one day.

However, his father chose to take the initiative to distance himself and raise an army to join Lu Bu.

However, now that he has met a wise leader, he naturally cannot choose to escape again.

But faced with the unreasonable subordinates of his wise leader, he was unwilling to be forced to accept it.

So he stood up, bowed to Wei Xu, and said with an expression that said "I understand you":

"I think General Wei should have noticed that I have been busy for a long time, right?

"Now you still won't let me rest, maybe you are dissatisfied with me?

"General Wei, why don't you just talk it out with me? We don't have to scheme against each other like those civil servants.

"If I have done anything that makes General Wei uncomfortable, I will correct it immediately!

"After all, you are the general most valued by Lord Chu. You should be willing to give me a chance to reform next time, right?"

Quan Cong's words not only exposed Wei Xu's disguise in his words and deeds, but also inadvertently flattered him.

He also showed his humility and respect as much as possible.

Wei Xu felt a little embarrassed after hearing these words.

Wei Xu put his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly and said:

"This general... This general is not dissatisfied with you.

“It’s just that you should do things according to your position.

"If you rashly show off your abilities with your humble status, it will cause dissatisfaction among some people. Do you understand?"

Quan Cong deliberately showed a look of realization, clasped his fists in gratitude and said:

"So that's how it is! I was indeed rude.

"I will be very careful in the future and will not let General Wei be troubled by me again!
"To thank General Wei for his teachings, I will treat General Wei to a drink after this battle is over!"

After listening to Quan Cong's words, Wei Xu suddenly found that this boy was much easier to talk to than he had imagined.

And he is a good person!

Unconsciously, the dissatisfaction in my heart towards the other party has reached the lowest point...

Wei Xu leaned back tactically, assumed the posture of an elder, and said lightly:
"You are quite conscious, kid... Follow me carefully in the future, and I will make sure you will rise to the top and prosper!"

After saying this, Wei Xu said no more and turned and left under Quan Cong's respectful gaze.

Quan Cong watched Wei Xu gradually go away, and the respect in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a hint of helplessness.

As expected, whether in the military camp or in the officialdom, there will always be people who appreciate you and people who hate you.

Fortunately, he has traveled around over the years, met all kinds of people, and accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with different people.

Otherwise, he would really become a thorn in Wei Xu's side, and I'm afraid that his life would not be easy when they are in the same military camp in the future.

However, Wei Xu was not as difficult to deal with as imagined.

After all, as a military general, he cannot hide his thoughts and any dissatisfaction will be quickly revealed.

Such people are relatively easier to deal with.

It would be really uncomfortable if some civil servants disliked him and secretly made things difficult for him.

Quan Cong didn't think much about it. After a good rest, he and a group of soldiers pushed the Thunderbolt Cart back to the camp.

Just when he was about to go back to his tent to sleep, the big flag in the center of the camp was suddenly blown down by a strange wind!

Quan Cong was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, he suddenly thought of something and hurried to Wei Xu's tent...
