Chapter 4516: Settle personal grudges with official business

A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Huaien's face, and he coldly cupped his hands and said: "Since General Tan has given such orders, I can only act in accordance with the orders. General Tan, please restrain your subordinates well, abide by military discipline, and resign."

After saying this, he turned around and left. He also deliberately made the turn very large. He raised his cloak and stirred up the dust on the ground, which immediately covered his body with sandalwood dust.

Tan Shihuai was furious and almost chased him out, but Tan Zhi held him back. He looked at Zhang Huai'en's retreating figure, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "This guy is so rude, just because he is

Liu Zhengxi's guard captain dares to be so disrespectful to you, my lord, and I must teach him a lesson today."

Several guards on one side also said in unison: "Lord, please let us teach this guy a lesson."

Tan Zhi said calmly: "Well, I know this Huai'en. He was a rebel who joined the Tianshi Dao. He was captured by Brother Dao Gui in the Battle of Yuzhou because he had some courage, strong martial arts, and

He joined the demon thief because his family was unjustly killed by a member of the aristocratic family. Brother Dao Gui cherished his talent, sympathized with his plight, and saw that he was sincerely repentant, so he took him in."

"But this person is impulsive and arrogant. He also learned a lot of bad habits from the demon thieves such as bragging and flattering to please his superiors. When he said that just now, he originally wanted to please me, thinking that we treat these Dong barbarians like slaves.

, driven arbitrarily, without treating them as human beings."

Tan Shi said with hatred: "This guy is just a surrendered captive soldier. What right does he have to look down on others? I think these Dongman brothers are more amiable and respectable than him. My lord, is it possible that Liu Zhengxi is surrounded by so many people?"

Are you such a mean person who looks down on others?"

Tan Zhi shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. These people will behave very submissively in front of Brother Dao Gui. Zhang Huai'en also likes to drink and has done inappropriate things after drinking. My fourth brother Dao Ji saw it. He drank

I scolded him, but at that time, I thought he was a brother in the same robe and knelt down to beg for mercy. My fourth brother did not tell Brother Daogui about the matter. Now it seems that this man is becoming more and more arrogant. If I find an opportunity later, I really have to tell him.

Brother Gui, let’s talk about it, otherwise his subordinates’ inappropriate words and deeds outside will eventually affect the hearts of Jingzhou people that Brother Dao Gui finally managed to win over.”

Tan Shihuai nodded repeatedly and said: "What the lord said is absolutely true. If you let such a person maintain order in this market, he won't deliberately cause trouble for our Dongman soldiers."

Tan Zhi frowned slightly: "Now you bring people over to follow you. Make sure our people are disciplined and don't give others orders. Also, let those brothers who queue up to receive snacks not to come again after receiving them once."

If we accept it, we can give other brothers a chance to try it, and don’t let others underestimate us."

Tan Shihuai bowed and retreated. Tan Zhi's eyes fell firmly on Zhang Huai'en in the distance, motionless.

Zhang Huaien walked to a remote corner, kicked out with hatred, and kicked a small clod of soil in front of him into the air. It flew more than ten steps away, hit the trunk of a big tree, and shattered into powder.

When the wind blew, all the vendors and soldiers queuing around started coughing.

A soldier named Hu Daquan behind Zhang Huai'en said: "This guy named Tan really went too far. He brought these foreign barbarians to our Jiangling market to eat and drink. Brother Huai'en, you praise them and they immediately fall out.

Humph, I really don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”

Zhang Huaien said coldly: "I am a guest from afar. Brother Daogui said that we must entertain the guests well. After the sun sets today, they will have to break camp and go out. It is rare to spend half a day here visiting the market. We have to give him

It’s convenient.”

Hu Daquan looked at the Dongman soldiers around him, all of them with smiles on their faces. They were communicating with each other in words they didn't understand. He curled his lips in disdain and said, "Huh, these mountain barbarians are probably like this."

It’s the first time in my life to go to the city to go to the market, and it’s really hard for them. Didn’t Brother Dao Gui say that maybe they won’t even have a chance to take a look again..."

Zhang Huai'en turned around and glared at Hu Daquan fiercely. He was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth. He only heard Zhang Huaien whisper: "That's enough. Don't you think your bad mouth will cause less trouble? Now give it to me.

Just shut up and keep an eye on this place. If anyone takes things randomly without keeping accounts or paying them, I will take them down right away."

Hu Daquan's eyes widened: "Are we really going to arrest someone? This is not good."

Zhang Huaien sneered and said: "What's wrong? We were ordered to maintain order, not to protect these barbarians who came to eat and steal. Although Brother Daogui said that things in the market should be left to their own devices.

Take it by yourself, but I also said that if you don't keep accounts and steal things by yourself, we must maintain military discipline. Didn't Tan Zhi just say that as long as the evidence is conclusive and he takes it to us on the spot, he will personally hand it over to us.

Brother Daogui is disappointed."

"Humph, doesn't he like to hear my compliments? If he even gets out of breath after complimenting him a few times, then I can only do business. I opened my eyes. If someone takes something without giving me money, just give it to him.

I'll take it."

The surrounding sergeants agreed in unison, and then left in groups of three and five. Only Hu Daquan was left beside Zhang Huaien. Hu Daquan whispered: "Brother Huaien, we really want to catch these caves."

Sergeant Barbarian? Even if they take something, if we take them down on the spot, will they be besieged?"

Zhang Huai'en raised his eyebrows: "What are you afraid of? This is our Jiangling territory. They violated military discipline and captured me on the spot. How dare they rebel? Look at how rustic these people are and how they have never seen the world. Get rid of them as soon as possible.

They drove them away so as not to cause trouble to us."

Hu Daquan smiled and said: "It turns out you don't really want to capture them, you just want to scare them."

Zhang Huaien curled up his lips: "I originally wanted to discuss Tan Zhi, but it turns out that this person is ignorant. He doesn't look down on me, Zhang Huaien, but he is disrespectful to Brother Daogui. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. I think,

He and his brother Tan Daoji are all eyeing the position of our brother Daogui as a general, thinking that they will make great achievements in this battle, and then they will squeeze out brother Daogui and become generals themselves. I don't know how to win people's hearts like this now.

?"

Hu Daquan's eyes widened: "What, the Tan brothers still want to replace Brother Daogui?"

Zhang Huaien sneered: "Of course, why else would Tan Zhi come from Wuling and bring more than a thousand barbarians with him? Isn't it just to open the eyes of the barbarians, get benefits, and be willing to fight with all their strength?" he said later.

Brother Gui will definitely be promoted to the imperial court as a general, and they can stay in Jingzhou as governors and generals. That's all. These things are not something we small soldiers can discuss. Brother Dao Gui's seat has been in tatters for a long time. This is not in line with his status.

, today we are taking advantage of this market to get a new one for Brother Daogui."

A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Huaien's face, and he coldly cupped his hands and said: "Since General Tan has given such orders, I can only act in accordance with the orders. General Tan, please restrain your subordinates well, abide by military discipline, and resign."
