That night, Zhang Lun's flag crossed the pontoon bridge. Zhang Bearded, who was frightened by the pontoon bridge, finally set foot on the ground in Henan for the first time.
At this time, he was already sure that His Highness the King of Han wanted to use him more, and the vast world of Henan was immediately placed in front of him.
Thinking about how I wanted to have a fight with some bandits in a remote rural area like Shangdang, but in the blink of an eye, I arrived in Henan on the other side of the Yellow River...
Thinking of this, Zhang Lun scratched his beard vigorously, feeling so mixed in his heart that it was difficult to explain clearly.
Compared to Zhang Lun, who was born as a soldier in Yanmen, Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui's family backgrounds were better, but not much better. But now they all have to live under Zhang Lun and obey orders.
However, unlike Zhang Lun who was feeling emotional, the two of them had high ambitions and would not think so much.
When they met Zhang Lun on the shore, they beat their chests and saluted him.
Looking at the two guys who were so tough and still so energetic after a battle, Zhang Lun felt a little jealous and said to himself, these two people are really lucky. I think I lived in Jiexiu Jedi...
His courage was almost gone, so he tried his best to find a way to survive. It wasn't until the Battle of Longmen, when he fought with people in the ice and snow during the Great Black Sky, that he could finally start a family.
As for these two bastards, one has already become the king's confidant at a young age, and the other has just surrendered and succeeded in one battle. He is obviously appreciated by the king. Tsk tsk, why don't I have such luck?
"The two generals have worked so hard, so there is no need to be more polite. Your Majesty has given me full power, and I will need more help from you two..." At this point, Zhang Lun handed over his hand slightly, "I'd like to trouble you two generals."
The bearded man is very thoughtful. With his current status and status, he lowered his stature to such an extent that he was actually looking at the talents of the two people in front of him and their future.
Moreover, he himself is very close to Li Nian, Chen Li and others. If forced to divide them, they can barely be regarded as a line of relatives of the King of Han. But then again, he joined the army very late and his reputation is not very good. His foundation can be said to be
He is the most superficial among the eight generals of the Imperial Guard.
Since the establishment of the Wei Mansion, there are not many useful people around, and they are not as stable as Yuchi, Bu Qun and others.
At this time, the two people in front of him were both "rising stars" with no background, and they were both acquainted with him. If they didn't try hard to win over each other at this moment, they wouldn't be wearing big beards.
Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui looked at each other for a moment, and Xu Shiji immediately clasped his fists and smiled and said: "What did the general say? There is a general sitting in the army, so you can have no worries. The general will wait and act according to the order, and he will not let the general down."
Zhang Shigui slowed down for a moment. He felt a little uncomfortable. After our achievements were so great, you showed your intention to fight for power as soon as you came over. Isn't it too impatient?
This can only be said to be a result of habit. After years of practice, Zhang Shigui's mental trauma was quite serious...
If someone else came over, Zhang Shigui would probably have to show off his face and show his presence. This is something he often does and is very unlikable.
But the person who came was Zhang Lun, so he could bear it. After all, he had just arrived in your country a while ago and had dated Zhang Lun several times, and they "got along" pretty well.
"General, don't worry. It is the duty of the general to be strong and strong. After that, if there is an order, the general will definitely obey it."
Zhang Lun scratched his beard and laughed, thinking, these two people are really interesting. One of them has an evil eye on his head, but the other one seems to be too "honest".
You two are matched together... No wonder the Tang army was defeated so ugly. They are a perfect match. This is...
Regardless of whether they are a perfect match or not, since Zhang Lun was the first to cross the river, he could not let go of this opportunity and let the Bu Qun, Yu Chi and others who crossed the river behind take advantage. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, Isn’t it very incompetent?
After saying a few words briefly, he followed the two of them into the camp on the bank. As Zhang Lun walked, he said: "The achievements of the two have been recorded in the book. The king is very pleased. He said that we have gained two good generals. I want to come." When merit is discussed, rewards will be given in front of everyone, which is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Finally getting a word of truth, Zhang Shigui was not satisfied again. With such merit... His Highness was by the river again. If he didn't reward the meritorious soldiers immediately, could he be like Li Da and discuss it with everyone? That would be too annoying. If you are disappointed, do you still need military morale?
To be honest, there are not many newcomers who are as awkward as Zhang Shigui. It can be seen from this that he may have to go a long way before he can start to adapt to the military career in Jin.
Xu Shiji was naturally different from him. When he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Then he shrunk his head, hammered his chest, and said solemnly: "A small amount of merit can be personally praised by the king, but Shiji is so scared..."
At this point, the man rolled his eyes and continued, "General, please don't look at me differently in the future because of our merits."
It was like a joke. Zhang Lun immediately said something cunning in his heart after hearing this, but he just thought it was a joke and looked at the expressionless Zhang Shigui.
Like a roundworm in Zhang Shigui's stomach, he smiled and said: "The two generals are extremely talented. It's hard not to look at each other differently... Well, General Zhang may be a little confused when he first comes... General Xu, why don't you tell us the rules here, so as not to There is a misunderstanding, after all, you and I, King Fu, have great responsibilities on our shoulders, and we need to work together to achieve it."
Xu Shiji nodded repeatedly and said to Zhang Shigui: "If it hadn't been for the general's reminder, I would have forgotten this. Brother Zhang doesn't know something. All the rewards were given after the war. The king once said that in these troubled times, military merit is particularly important, so we have to Shen, so since your Majesty raised the army, military merit promotions and rewards have always been around the New Year. How can I have a good New Year?"
After saying this, Xu Shiji remained silent and spoke with a clear tone. Smart people would understand after listening to it, but those who couldn't understand... What should I do with a fool?
Although Zhang Shigui has an awkward temperament, he is undoubtedly a smart man. After a little thought, he understood the meaning of Xu Shiji's words. This is a common practice. You are a newcomer. If you are more serious about this, you will not get good results.
What's more, he is saying that the bearded man next to him has noticed that he is a little impatient, so it is better to be more respectful in the future, otherwise the credit you have finally made will be lost, and no one will help you get it back.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shigui's heart twitched, and he immediately twitched the muscles on his face, smiled and said with his hands: "I see, the new general is here, he is very anxious, please don't take offense, general..."
Xu Shiji wished he could cover his face next to him. What a good rhythm of speech. It would be good if everyone knew some things well. It would be ugly to put it on the bright side, and the troops would definitely be divided in the future. With these words in front, How else do you find a good location?
Obviously, Xu Shiji has mastered the art of admitting mistakes, but Zhang Shigui is still far behind.
Sure enough, Zhang Dabeard immediately trembled his beard and laughed, "General Zhang, don't be like this. At this time of employment, it is said that those who are capable work hard, and there will be many places where General Zhang's efforts will be needed in the future."
Having said this, his face straightened and he said, "Your Majesty has an order."
The three people's footsteps squelched in unison, and Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui then bowed down.
Zhang Lun said solemnly: "General Zhang leads five thousand troops and is stationed at Fengling Ferry to spy on the movements of the Tang army at any time. Let's wait for a few more days and wait for General Li and General Xue to cross the river and send troops to Hongnong together."
This was the first run-in between the generals, and it was clear at a glance who was losing and who was taking advantage.
Zhang Shigui was from Hongnong, Henan. He was supposed to be the one who sent troops to Hongnong later, but his attitude was a little unruly, so he was left by Zhang Lun by the river. Regardless of the other reasons, it was obviously with the intention of suppressing him.
But think about it from another angle. A newly surrendered man can lead five thousand soldiers and station them at key points, but it cannot be said that they cannot be reused. Therefore, Zhang Lun must have felt a little uncomfortable when he swallowed this bittersweet fruit, but he couldn't explain it.
What comes from.
After entering the Chinese army tent that had been prepared for a long time, Zhang Lun looked at his family members who seemed to have eaten flies and said with a smile: "Niu Jinda, why are Shen Qingnu and the others missing?"
Zhang Shigui's heart beat faster again. When they met on the other side, he didn't realize that this mighty-looking General Zhang was actually so cunning. If he saw him more often, Zhang Shigui might have a heart problem.
The first thing he thought of was that this big bearded man wanted to recruit the Henan surrendered troops into his subordinates. After fighting two battles recently, he had a new understanding of the level of waste of Wang Shichong's subordinates, and he definitely didn't want to have such people under his command.
.
Finally, after repeated persecution, Zhang Shigui's IQ improved and he was no longer as angry as before. He blinked and asked, "But if the king wants to see them, the general will send them across the river."
Zhang Lun scratched his beard and smiled very innocently, "Then there is General Zhang. Originally, the person who was demoted to recruit General Xu should be under General Xu's command, but I feel that Wang Shichong's subordinates are in chaos.
You need more practice before you can be of use, but it would be unsightly to stay here, don't you think so, General Xu?"
This time it was Xu Shiji's turn to be shocked. After hearing the whole thing, Xu Shiji couldn't help but cursed in his heart. A big beard is really not a good thing. Are there any people who expose people's shortcomings like you?
You know, didn't he come through this path in the first place?
……………………
When leaving the Chinese army's tent, Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui were not in a good mood as they watched Zhang Lun's trusted generals gradually surrounding the Chinese army. But even so, the two of them divided their work and acted according to Zhang Lun's military orders.
Already.
Some people must say, is there anyone who can win over people like this?
This is what he thought wrong. When doing things in the army, one should first decide the priorities and then the rest. Zhang Lun did not see that he was from a humble background, but he was very organized in his work. Zhang Shigui had an unruly temperament, which he had already noticed, and Xu Shiji was slippery.
.
And these two people are both extraordinary and have made great achievements now. If you can't let them know first, I, Zhang Lun, can't be fooled, then when these two people do things, they may give you a blow first...
