Chapter 183 Lucky Star

"Steward Liu, what method did he use to make these people so obedient?"

In just a few days, Zhang Meng managed to tame these rough guys. How he did it made Lu Xiaoxian very curious.

"His method is very special, and ordinary people can't do it!" A strange smile appeared on Butler Liu's face, "First, he told the fifty slaves that if they can beat him, they can do whatever they want in the future. He will definitely

No matter. If you can't beat him, you have to listen to him honestly. Then, he fought with these fifty people respectively, but no one could beat him!"

Zhang Meng usually looks carefree, but he didn't expect that he would still use his brain at critical moments. Those rough guys look tough, but they can't be Zhang Meng's opponents. The hardships in Wangyun Mountain these years are not in vain.

Butler Liu went on to say: "Then, he chose the two most capable leaders as leaders to manage these people for him. As a result, these people became honest!"

Rough people have their own ways. Although Zhang Meng's method is very rough, it is also very effective. If it were not like this, I am afraid it would not be effective in such a short period of time.

"Master Lu?"

Lu Xiaoxian turned around, and brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong looked at the chaos in front of them with blank expressions.

"Mr. Lu, what are you..."

"Two gentlemen are back?" Lu Xiaoxian greeted with a smile, and then said mysteriously, "Two gentlemen, please be steady, I will tell you slowly!"

The Zhang brothers glanced at the rough guys and followed Lu Xiaoxian out of the backyard without saying anything.

After the three of them sat down in the flower hall, Lu Xiaoxian told everything about his thoughts.

After hearing this, the Zhang brothers were stunned for a long time and could not say a word.

Lu Xiaoxian then said: "Two gentlemen, you are favored in front of His Majesty. Many ministers of the imperial court must be dissatisfied. Although they came first in the poetry competition last time, it is not enough. This time I will join the army on behalf of the Zhang family.

Going out to fight and serving the country is to show the court ministers that my master is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also has a patriotic heart, so that they will be unable to say anything in the future, and to let His Majesty know that the two masters are worthy of being favored!

"

Zhang Yizhi's eyes were a little moist: "Master Lu, you have always considered us brothers, and we are grateful. It's just that when we go out to the army, we are blind on the battlefield. If something goes wrong, won't we regret it for the rest of our lives?"

Zhang Changzong patted Lu Xiaoxian on the shoulder and said: "Our brothers accept your kindness, but you can't join the army. I would rather let those people chew their tongues than have any accidents happen to you!"

At this moment, the Zhang brothers can truly realize that Lu Xiaoxian is indeed their "lucky star". If their "lucky star" falls due to the expedition, wouldn't their good days also come to an end?

The Zhang brothers firmly disagreed with Lu Xiaoxian's expedition, which greatly exceeded Lu Xiaoxian's expectations. Originally, he thought that the Zhang brothers would appreciate his plan, which would gain him a good reputation without any effort on their part.

, why not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?

But despite all the calculations, Lu Xiaoxian missed one thing: the extent to which the Zhang brothers relied on him was far beyond his imagination.

The Zhang brothers are also emotional, and Lu Xiaoxian has always spared no effort to help them. In the minds of the two brothers, Lu Xiaoxian is not only the butler of the Zhang family, nor just someone who can bring them good luck.

"Lucky Star" is a good friend you can rely on.

Lu Xiaoxian could see that what the Zhang brothers said was not for show, but from the bottom of their hearts, which made him a little touched. However, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind. After planning for so long, we can't give up halfway. .

He patiently persuaded the Zhang brothers with his sharp tongue, but the Zhang brothers were determined not to let him go, which made him very discouraged.



The next day, Wu Zetian continued to discuss the Tibetan invasion.

Different from yesterday's disagreement, today another court minister proposed that Liang Wang Wu Sansi take command of the expedition, with Wang Xiaojie as deputy commander to assist Wu Sansi in attacking Tibet.

No need to ask, this was specially arranged by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian originally thought that since the minister proposed this suggestion, as soon as she made the decision and the other ministers agreed, the matter would be regarded as nothing.

It was implemented. But what she never expected was that as soon as this suggestion was put forward, before she could make a decision, someone jumped out and fiercely opposed it.

The person who objected was none other than Wei Wang Wu Chengsi. His reason was simple: Liang Wang Wu Sansi had never led an army and did not understand military affairs, so he should not be so hasty.

After listening to Wu Chengsi's words, Wu Zetian felt very depressed: There had been precedents for princes and even princes to lead troops. Who knows military affairs? Besides, Wang Xiaojie is assisting him. Doesn't it mean that Wang Xiaojie understands military affairs? Wu Sansi understands. It doesn't matter if you don't understand military affairs.

Wu Zetian knew why Wu Chengsi opposed Wu Sansi's taking command, but it was difficult for her to point it out here. What made Wu Zetian even more depressed was that many ministers agreed with Wu Chengsi, while those who supported Wu Sansi's taking command Very few. Even Wu Sansi himself, as well as Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, Lai Junchen and others, remained silent, like mutes.

The whole morning, no results came from the discussion. In desperation, Wu Zetian had no choice but to announce that she would stop the court and discuss it again in the afternoon. The military situation was urgent and she could not keep going on like this endlessly. She was already prepared to do this in the afternoon no matter what. Once the matter was settled, and it really didn't work out, she forced Wu Sansi to take charge without listening to anyone's opinions.

At noon, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang accompanied Wu Zetian to dinner, while Shangguan Wan'er was waiting on her.

Wu Zetian was in a bad mood. She ate absentmindedly and frowned in thought. The Zhang brothers also participated in the morning meeting. They knew what Wu Zetian was worried about at this moment.

Zhang Yizhi originally wanted to persuade Wu Zetian, but he seemed to have thought of something and in the end he didn't say anything and just ate in silence.

Zhang Changzong couldn't pretend that something was wrong. He complained angrily: "They are all important officials of the imperial court. When the critical moment comes, they either don't speak or only focus on their own small calculations. It's really despising, even worse than the housekeeper in my house!"

"Huh?" Wu Zetian came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Changzong, "Liu Lang, what did you say? Who is worse than the housekeeper in your house?"

Zhang Yizhi glared at Zhang Changzong, then smiled and said to Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty, Liu Lang is outspoken, and he just said it casually. Don't get involved and eat quickly. There will be a meeting in the afternoon!"

Wu Zetian waved his hand, stared at Zhang Changzong and asked: "Liu Lang, what did you mean by the housekeeper just now?"

Zhang Changzong ignored Zhang Yizhi's wink and told Wu Zetian about Lu Xiaoxian's plan in detail.
