Character determines destiny, this saying is actually very reasonable.
Zhang Shigui and Li Jing are actually similar. The bad luck they have suffered for half their lives is not all caused by external factors. Their character flaws also bear a large part of the responsibility.
Li Jing is much older than Zhang Shigui, and his level of unlucky is higher than Zhang Shigui's, so he has learned well early, but Zhang Shigui is still rushing to commit suicide.
He had told himself many times before that newcomers should be careful in their words and deeds, but when it came time to be cautious, he couldn't control his mouth anymore.
Being more serious than others and being the opposite of others is really hard to change once you get used to it.
"Your Highness is wrong. There are no big warehouses left in Luoyang. Living in it is like being in a desperate situation. Nowadays, there is a shortage of food and grass everywhere. Luoyang is crying for food. Who can provide so much food and grass? The land of Jin is already barren.
It is a place where there has been war for many years. If Your Highness leads an army to take control of Luoyang, wouldn’t it be like being trapped in a quagmire?”
Li Po smiled calmly, and then encouraged him, "What the general said is very reasonable, but the Tang army has heavy troops on the river bank and is strictly guarded. What can be done?"
Zhang Shigui finally found his feelings today, and he even felt that the only person who could make Zhang Shigui speak freely in these many years was the King of Han.
In fact, like many people before, they would feel that they could talk to him without having to talk a few words with His Highness the King of Han. However, now that Li Pogui is the King of Han, fewer and fewer people think that he is very good.
, there are more and more people who are afraid of him.
"The Tang army, with nearly 200,000 soldiers, was stationed at key passes in Tongguan, Yongfengcang, Fengyi, and Hancheng. They echoed each other. They seemed to be dangerous, but in fact, their forces were scattered and ready to be slaughtered. In the end, the general thought that he only needed to break through
If one of these places moves the entire body, the entire Tang army will be in danger..."
"Furthermore, during the reign of King Li Shimin of Qin, two brothers, Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng, were vying for the position of crown prince. They restrained each other and did not interact with each other. It was like dividing their troops into two places. However, they were able to focus on giving orders to separate the East Palace and Tiance Mansion without interfering with each other.
, the top and bottom are well organized and difficult to attack."
"Now that the King of Qin has returned to the capital, the East Palace is in great power, but the old troops of the King of Qin are in danger along the river. There are many people who hate the East Palace. There are also Xiao Yu, Li Shenfu and others who control the Shaanxi Daoxingtai, but no one can compete with the East Palace.
If we resist for a long time and the orders are inconsistent, disasters will inevitably occur. If we take advantage of the opportunity to attack, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Also, the Tang army is very large, waiting day and night, not daring to slack off. At this time of year, they plan to maintain a stalemate for a long time... Hehe, at this time of year, those who cannot move like thunder and crouch like turtles in the abyss will surely fall into the trap of Xue Ju in the future.
Li Mi and others followed in their footsteps..."
Having said so much, in fact, according to Li Po's summary, it is a matter of one sentence. The river barrier seems to be solid, but in fact there are many flaws. As long as you wait patiently, there will always be a chance to cross the river and attack.
It can be said that since Zhang Shigui entered the big account, every word he said was in line with Li Po's wishes. The most rare thing was his strategic vision, which was clear and well-founded. This was undoubtedly what Yuchi, Bu Qun and others lacked the most.
quality.
Sure enough, we have found a treasure. We have worked very hard to gather talents over the years. We never thought that a pie would fall from the sky, but today the pie fell into place. How can I say this?
It is indeed a bit of a loser. Zhang Shigui came to join him very suddenly compared to others. But then again, if Li Po hadn't gradually become more mature, he wouldn't have let so many arrogant people come to join him.
.
In other words, a year or two ago, there was no need to think about this matter. Take Zhang Shigui for example. If he had not reached the river and completely drove Li Tang out of Jin, how would Zhang Shigui have crossed the river to come to him?
in front of?
This is actually the result of 90% hard work and 10% luck. As the old saying goes, people who wait with their mouths open for pie in the sky will often get nothing. Only those who work hard will win the world.
When you drop the pie, you have a chance to eat it in your mouth.
By this time, Li Po had already begun to think about how to appoint this person. Like Zhang Lun, as long as he is loyal, others can be given preferential treatment. There are many positions now, and as long as this person can achieve some military exploits, it doesn't matter if he is promoted.
Obstructed.
Then Li Po had to choose between the Ministry of War and leading troops in front of the army. There were many vacancies in the Ministry of War. Wang Zhibian was actually an extremely helpless choice as the minister of the Ministry of War. That man is now an extremely excellent cavalry general. He was originally placed on behalf of the army.
In the position of the governor of the state's march, firstly, he wanted to reward him for his contribution, and secondly, he also wanted to guard against Turks.
Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was in charge of the Ministry of War. Not only was Li Po a little worried, but Wang Zhibian himself also felt uncertain. He told Li Po several times that he was not qualified to be the Minister of War.
I want Li Po to appoint someone else.
In fact, the most important point is that Wang Zhibian cannot control the arrogant and powerful generals of the Wei Mansion. It is Li Po's long-term plan to put the military department above the Wei Mansion. You can't control it now. In the future, the generals of the Wei Mansion will
Now that we have become generals, we can no longer control them.
If the person in front of me could be put to good use and serve in the Ministry of War...
Thinking of this, Li Po shook his head first. Don't say that this is the time to use troops. Just say that the world is peaceful. Without deep accumulation, there is no way to get a foothold in some positions in the Ministry of War.
The proud soldiers who emerged from the war cannot be suppressed by just saying a few words and then putting on an official hat.
While he was deep in thought, Zhang Shigui made his own choice. In one sentence, Li Po's option became the only one.
Seeing Li Po's silence for a long time, Zhang Shigui's enthusiasm suddenly cooled down. He thought that His Highness the King of Han was just like Li Jiancheng, who spoke nicely but was unwilling to accept good advice at critical moments.
As a result, the resentment accumulated over the years suddenly burst out. In fact, after many years of setbacks, he was relatively calm, but the changes from one day to the next were so drastic that it was understandable that he would be easily agitated.
"What General Mo said came from the bottom of his heart. Could it be that His Highness thought that General Mo was urging His Highness to go west out of personal vendetta?"
For Zhang Shigui, these words were extremely euphemistic. If he were younger, he would definitely not say it like this, but just slap it directly in the face.
Well, after all these years, the parts on his body are still intact. God is indeed taking good care of him.
However, no matter how euphemistic it was, the harsh elements could not be removed. Li Po only raised his head and glanced at him, and then threw away the idea of helping this person to be the Minister of War.
There are too many traces of a soldier on this man. His self-control ability and unruliness are probably no worse than those of Yuchi and others. If this man is allowed to take charge of the Ministry of War, let alone his ears, I am afraid that all the generals of the Wei Mansion will be killed one after another.
brain.
According to this person's current state, at best, he is a quick talker; at worst, he is self-willed and does not know how to live or die.
Li Poxin said, "I can't blame you for running over suddenly. If you are like this, if you don't have the magnanimity and thunderous means, who can use you?"
In fact, Zhang Shigui regretted it immediately after saying this. He wished he could slap himself in the mouth. He had been wronged in Tongguan for so long and never contradicted Li Jiancheng. Why are you trying to be a hero now?
When Li Poruoruo's eyes glanced over, Zhang Shigui immediately broke out in a cold sweat, as if he just remembered that this person was not Li Jiancheng.
Despite his young age, he has actually been fighting in the south and north for many years. His achievements in conquering the Turks in the north are not known to be true or false, but it is true that the Tang army was defeated and retreated steadily.
The consequences of speaking nonsense in front of such a person... must be pretty bad...
Thinking of this, Zhang Shigui lowered his head and was ready to admit his mistake. Although it was a little late, he had evolved a lot compared to back then. He must have evolved faster under Li Po's command.
But before he could think of his words, Li Po laughed and said, "General Zhang is quite cheerful, but..."
At this point, his smile gradually faded, "Who can tell clearly about public hatred and private hatred now? Since the general came back, have I asked him the details of the reason?"
"I saw that the general's words were sincere and his spirit was magnificent. He was no longer a rat, so I treated him with the courtesy of a hero. Why does the general still have doubts?"
Zhang Shigui was extremely regretful. When he heard this and thought about it, it seemed that something was wrong with him. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He almost lost his good deeds. Fortunately, he wasn't as reckless as before. Otherwise... he got up.
I just want to apologize.
Li Po reached out and pressed down, indicating that it was okay for him to sit still.
Then he said: "The talent of a general is quite rare, but I see that the general's temperament is too strong, so I will give you a piece of advice today. Since ancient times, famous generals have died, and those who insist on going their own way will be abandoned by everyone... If you want others to accept your words and believe them, try to accept them.
Do people mean what they say?"
It was just one sentence, but to Zhang Shigui's ears, it carried much more weight than all the words he just said combined. Everything from yesterday seemed to come to his mind one after another.
Someone had actually said this to him many years ago, but he was still a teenager at that time and had never heard it. The man's surname was Xue, his name was Daoheng, and he was also from Jin Dynasty. When he passed by Hongnong, he was invited by King Yang Xiong to visit him.
Give guidance to the young people in the county.
At that time, Zhang Shigui was among them. Because of his bravery, he was superior to his peers and was evaluated by Xue Daoheng, but the evaluation was not very high. Zhang Shigui was depressed for a long time. The general meaning was similar to what Li Po said.
Listening to it now, the taste is naturally very different from what it was back then.
Zhang Shigui was in a trance, his mood fluctuated, and he could no longer sit still. He stood up and stood with his hands tied, his body slightly bowed, as if he was worshiping his father.
Yang Xu, who had not written any notes there, raised his head quite differently at this time. He looked at Zhang Shigui carefully for the first time and said in his heart, this man is not simple. His Highness, the King of Han, has never had certain rules for treating others, but since then
Since he started working in the reporter's office, Zhang Shigui was the first person to be able to denounce his faults and be good at teaching.
What is so extraordinary about this man that he deserves to be treated like this by the King of Han? Is it just based on the few words he said before?
