The troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty created many living legends, and when these figures with the halo of legends walked in front of people, they were often covered in blood.
Although Zhou Feng is unknown, his experience is undoubtedly legendary. Everything he has experienced is enough for him to stand in front of anyone without looking humble and mediocre, even if he is just a small team member now.
just.
Of course, even if he hadn't read any books, he still couldn't recognize a few big characters despite Li Po's constant prodding, and people like Zhou Feng would be too stupid to be stupid.
Therefore, he would not show off his proud military exploits in front of Xu Shiji, nor would he say how difficult it was for him to climb from a pawn to a captain, nor would he say that he was fighting those bullies from the Military Justice Department in Jinyang.
He also beat someone to death, almost stabbing a hornet's nest and causing quite a disturbance.
This was the conflict between military discipline and military merit, something Li Po couldn't tolerate, but in the end Li Po still compromised on the rules that had been agreed upon these days.
Because there were too many people begging for mercy, and he himself actually missed the friendship between life and death, so he went along with the situation and gave a lighter sentence. Even so, if a captain with countless military exploits had to go through it all over again, in the eyes of others, the punishment would be
It's also so heavy that it's almost unbearable.
Well, Zhou Feng was right about one thing. He wanted to be promoted back to the rank of captain without much trouble. The Military Justice Department is now the most hated bureau in the middle of the military by military generals. There are fewer and fewer people who can show off their teeth and claws with the people in the Military Justice Department.
, Guys like Zhou Feng are undoubtedly very popular. Not only did they feel comfortable living under Li Nian, Li Nian also promoted him intentionally.
It's just that there haven't been many wars recently, so the level has been slower.
Of course, on the other hand, those who are targeted by the Military Justice Department will definitely have a lot of trouble in the future, but Zhou Feng, who caused the big trouble, said he has no pressure at all.
After the two teams were about to leave, Xu Shiji turned to look at Zhang Shigui and smiled.
Zhang Shigui naturally understood. Xu Shiji completely achieved the effect he wanted. He actually used these people to tell Zhang Shigui that here, rewards and punishments are very clear, so there is nothing to worry about.
But if you want to be like Tang Junzhong or other places, who are complacent after making some achievements and don't take others seriously, or even want this or that like Liu Wenjing, then you are in the wrong place.
The most important point is that he was secretly warning Zhang Shigui that there are many such arrogant generals in the army. When you are a general, you must first think about whether you can suppress these guys.
Xu Shiji believed that Zhang Shigui was a smart man and should be able to understand his good intentions and accept his sentiments.
As expected, Zhang Shigui did not disappoint his expectations. At this time, his arrogance had completely subdued. Such military achievements were enough to build a family in the Sui Dynasty. Compared with others, Zhang Shigui really had nothing to be proud of except his talents.
place.
He has neither been to Liaodong nor slaughtered Turks... Hehe, the elite soldiers of Jin are indeed worthy of their reputation. I have really come to the right place. Thinking of this, a burst of pride suddenly rose, and he solemnly clasped his fists and said
: "Thank you, dear brother."
Xu Shiji laughed, clasped his fists and returned the greeting, "Brother Zhang, you're welcome."
They are both from Henan, and they all have a lot of love in their hearts. Although their personalities are very different, there is not much difficulty in talking, especially since they both intend to make friends with each other, and they laugh more and more as they call each other brothers.
Walking outside an empty camp, Xu Shiji held Zhang Shigui's arm and said, "This is it, closer to the Chinese army..."
Xu Shiji pointed to a tent in the west with a big flag beside it, "That's where General Zhang Lun and Zhang live..." At this point, he gave Zhang Shigui a meaningful look.
Then he continued: "General Zhang is highly regarded by the king. He led his troops to attack the party some time ago, and now he has just arrived here..."
Zhang Shigui glanced over there and asked, "Dear brother, are you talking about Zhang Lun and Zhang Hanchu?"
Xu Shiji nodded, "If not him, who else can we have? The eldest brother has the same surname as General Zhang. When you have nothing to do, you can visit him nearby. I think General Zhang will not refuse people thousands of miles away."
Zhang Shigui was really grateful now. He understood what Xu Shiji meant after thinking about it. Zhang Lun was also a general of Li Tang, so the two of them should have something to talk about.
And from what I heard, Zhang Lun lived a good life after his surrender, and he must have been a very talented person. If they could get along with each other, he would be able to occupy a position under the King of Han without any effort.
Such a favor is different from the previous one, "My dear brother, I am ashamed to accept your kindness. If you succeed in the future, I will definitely repay you generously."
Xu Shiji grinned and bared his teeth, "We brothers don't need to see each other. Brother Zhang and I hit it off right away. It's okay for me to have a close relationship with you, so why do we need to thank each other?"
"Moreover, I have been serving with the King for a while... so I told my brother a few nonsense words. When I serve as an officer and lead troops under the King's rule, I must not strive for credit. The King does not like his subordinates to scheming, so there is no harm in speaking frankly.
, Your Majesty makes your own decision, and there is no need to contend with everyone else’s will.”
"Okay, I see that the elder brother is exhausted. Let's rest peacefully for a while. If the younger brother is free tomorrow, how about bothering the elder brother again?"
Naturally, Zhang Shigui wanted to ask Xu Shiji for more advice, but it was hard to force him. He could only say goodbye with fists clasped, and asked casually, "My subordinates..."
Xu Shiji said: "Brother, don't worry, we will bring them here later. The tents nearby are empty, let them settle by themselves. Well, brother, if you need anything, just ask the person who brought them here later. Those are all
He is the king's personal army, and he can pass through the army as much as possible, just like his younger brother."
After saying a few words, and just as he was about to leave, Xu Shiji turned around and said, "Brother, the position has not yet been decided, so please don't wander around, lest you get into trouble."
He was so eager that he completely fooled Zhang Shigui. In fact, it was not a fool, it was just a deliberate attempt to make friends, and naturally he had his own considerations in it.
His foundation in the army was too shallow, and it was difficult for him to make friends with the Jin generals, so newcomers became his targets.
He told Zhang Shigui a lot, but when he thought about it carefully, it was all superficial and not really a "heart-to-heart" conversation, because he needed to see if Zhang Shigui could be reused. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of emotion?
Zhang Shigui didn't know that the wise brother he had just made was not a good person. His calculations were full of utilitarianism, so he had to be more careful when making friends with him.
After entering the account, he had no intention of looking here and there. He just sat cross-legged on the ground and thought about what he had experienced in the past half day. After a long time, he laughed a few times and murmured, "Zhang Shigui, Zhang Shigui, think so much and yet have so much trouble."
What's the use? With your ability, sooner or later you will be able to become a general and a general, and you will be above everyone else."
Thinking of this, he lay down and covered his head to sleep without waiting for his relatives to come...
