"What, are you surprised? Don't worry, it's not too late for me to be happy that you can bring reinforcements."
Seeing the surprised looks on Li Shushi and Ma Ji's faces, Zhang Wen's handsome and elegant face showed a slightly narrow expression.
Of course, the surprises of Ma Ji and Li Shushi are completely different. After all, a half-year-old boy who has been with you for so long suddenly becomes a two-thousand-ton official who you must look up to. The most important thing is how to get along with you on weekdays.
I don't see any aura of a high-ranking official in this guy at all. Anyone who has to deal with this matter will probably be helpless for a long time.
But what makes Ma Ji most ashamed is that just now he seemed to have overestimated his ability and planned to introduce the young man next to him to Zhang Wen. However, according to Zhang Wen's words just now, it seemed that the other man had been staying in Chang'an City just to wait for this young man.
reinforcements?
Thinking of the skills of Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others, Ma Ji felt that maybe it was understandable that Zhang Cheqi would be guarding here. At least Ma Ji felt that in all his years of experience, he seemed to have only the rumored Lu Bu and Zhang Lioneng.
Let's compete with them.
Of course, if Dian Wei and Zhao Yun had what Ma Ji thought, they would probably be very embarrassed. Although after half a year of growth, everyone has made great progress, especially Dian Wei, who was originally rough and squandered more
The attack of one's own talent gradually becomes
He had to become more refined. His strength was originally stronger than Lu Bu's. After he learned to use some delicate techniques, he could control his power more freely than before. But obviously this was still slower than the growth of Lu Bu, who was already half of Tong Yuan's disciples.
Quite a bit different.
After all, the starting points are different, and the previous accumulation is also different, so the results after the strength increases are still quite different.
Fortunately, Ma Ji left immediately after knowing Li Shushi's identity. After all, the information he knew was also clear to Li Shushi, and some of the information was even collected with the help of Li Shushi. So Ma Ji, whose main purpose was to provide information to Zhang Wen
There was no need to stay here, and Li Shushi no longer had to stand in the awkward gaze.
"Okay, Shushi, you don't have to stand there and guess. I only found out about you after I received a letter from Lu Ziqian. I thought it was a bit incredible at first, but during this period, I received a message from the court about whether to reopen the state animal husbandry.
After a fierce debate about the matter, I realized that Brother Ziqian really has a good vision. Since you plan to jump out of that
It's a whirlpool, so just stay with me. Those Qiang people are all brave and ruthless people. Although Sun Jian, Li Zhuo and others are no better than their opponents, they are still a little bit behind after all. I can't command Dong Zhongying.
I want to attack his arrogant generals. I heard from Brother Ziqian that you have many generals under your command. I hope you can help me."
Well, after Tao Qian's blatant poaching, Li Shushi felt that his nerves had been sufficiently tempered, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Wen here seemed to be even more rude, as if he wanted to rob his men in one fell swoop.
of.
But what Li Shushi obviously didn't realize is that now is obviously not the time for the princes to discuss the warlord structure of Dong and Empress. Now everyone is still living under the same sky called Dahan, even if they are close to Dian Wei, Xu Chu
Such a fierce man is from home
Technically speaking, he is still a citizen of the Han Dynasty with a free status, not Li Shushi's private party. In other words, if the other party leaves Li Shushi, he has not violated any laws of the Han Dynasty. Of course, he may be morally condemned.
But this is not like Zhang He's choice to be an enemy of Li Shushi, but also to contribute to the border defense of the Han Dynasty, not to mention that Zhang Wen, as a cavalry general, seems to have a much better future than Li Shushi, a little guy with no background.
, so Zhang Wen, who lived in completely different eras from Li Shushi’s thoughts, certainly had no psychological burden for poaching Li Shushi’s corner.
In other words, in Zhang Wen's view, Li Shushi should actually take the initiative to recommend his advisers to him. This is a responsible attitude toward talents. Of course, Li Shushi himself can also gain a reputation for discovering and recommending talents.
Therefore, if the war on the front line had not been tense, Zhang Wen would not have asked for people, because in this way, even if Li Shushi handed over the talents to Zhang Wen, he would be more or less inferior.
If the group had evil intentions, it would be very troublesome for Li Shushi to explain it, and it might even affect Li Shushi's career.
Of course, these are Zhang Wen's views. Li Shushi doesn't know it because his thoughts are ten years different from Zhang Wen's. But even if Li Shushi knew Zhang Wen's thoughts, he probably wouldn't be so generous. After all, he is very generous.
Be clear about future history.
Perhaps Li Shushi should feel lucky that the only two "underlings" he has with him now are Su Xiaololi who appears as his fiancée. Even if she is smarter than Zhang Liang and has the courage to compete with Xiang Yu, Zhang Wen would never dare to think anything wrong.
As for the other mysterious Miss Roholo, even Li Shushi took this
There is nothing the eldest lady can do. Although this eldest lady usually looks approachable and courteous, as Su Xiaololi criticized, "it is all pride written in her bones." It is estimated that even the emperor of the Han Dynasty came here in person.
A young lady will still make whatever expression she likes.
This allowed him to boldly refuse Zhang Wen's request, but he still had to be tactful in his words. For example, although Xihe had just repelled the Xianbei attack, there were still restless Huns and Shi Fu.
The rebellious Karasuma people and some small tribes that are like grassroots are all factors of instability and need to be guarded against.
What? These are the people you said you brought out? I'm sorry, these are either the personal guards of the next subordinates or the soldiers who agreed with Dong Zhuo's subordinate Zhang Ji to go to help in the battle. Oh, you said you wanted them to stay, but I'm afraid it won't work.
Well, this will cause a mutiny...
In this way, Li Shushi and Zhang Wen argued with each other with great interest for a long time, but of course nothing was achieved in the end.
Yes, although Zhang Wen still had the idea of persuading Li Shushi at the beginning, he gave up after a few minutes. After that, Zhang Wen spent more time around Li Shushi and showed great interest because of the argument between the two people.
On top of two bottles of top-quality shochu with expressions on his face, Zhang Wen also felt that during this period, he was too busy with military affairs and it would be nice to relax a bit.
The reason why Zhang Wen gave up so easily was not only because he was such a broad-minded guy, but also because of practical reasons - firstly, Li Shushi's excuse was indeed okay.
With the rebellion of the Tuoba tribe, Xianbei does indeed seem to be in chaos for a while, but no one knows whether the new Xianbei leaders will continue to avenge the previous leader's name and unite the tribe and then go south to fight with Li Shushi.
What about knocking?
The second thing, Li Shushi didn't say clearly, and Zhang Wen didn't want to mention, it can be regarded as a taboo in the imperial court.
This person that Zhang Wen didn't want to mention was the famous Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying. From Wuji school captain to Shu commander in chief and Bingzhou governor, Dong Zhuo gradually gathered a group of soldiers from Liangzhou who were accustomed to fighting.
Although the imperial court wanted to separate him from the generals under his command time and time again, due to the actual situation in Xiliang, the martial arts in this area was extremely strong, but this was not the case.
It was not easy for local tycoons to get promoted in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which valued poetry and calligraphy. Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who had already obtained a more prominent position by relying on force, became the best support for the Xiliang tycoons to rely on their family to prosper. This also made the court's
Ideas failed again and again. Even the best chance of Jizhou's defeat ended in failure because of Xiliang's rebellion.
With Dong Zhuo as a "glorious" role model in front of Zhang Wen, if you let him hunt for goods from Li Shushi, wouldn't it feel like bullying an honest person? Therefore, Zhang Wen is somewhat insecure in terms of momentum.
So in the end, it turned into a seemingly fierce dispute between Zhang Wen and Li Shushi, but it was actually a quarrel to give Li Shushi more experience in debate.
"Shu Shi, I understand your difficulty. You are the same as Dong Zhongying. Although it cannot be said that you are uneducated, compared with the poetry and calligraphy families in the Central Plains, you are far inferior in terms of connections and knowledge. You can
To get to where we are today, we have sacrificed our lives to fight, although sometimes there are certain behaviors
It seems despicable, but looking at it from another angle, you have no choice. So although many people advised me to take advantage of the opportunity to take charge of the war against the Qiang people to destroy Dong Zhongying and even you, but without warriors like you, I
Can the frontier of the Han Dynasty still rely on a group of civil servants like me who are better at reading? Just
I have figured out geniuses like Lu Ziqian and Zhang Ranming, but after all, it is something that can be encountered but cannot be asked for, so I suppressed these suggestions. Zhongying is already such an old person, and he is about the same age, so I don’t
What can I say to him? I will just say a few words to you, a brat who has not yet been crowned.
Certain ideas are really dangerous. Although His Majesty values you very much now, and you are also a child who knows how to advance and retreat, but you have to know that back then, Huaiyin and Peng Yue ultimately laid the root of their disaster because they supported their troops and respected themselves. You are a very talented person.
My child, I hope you won’t follow their old path and find time to read more books, it will be beneficial.”
Seeing Li Shushi looking at him in shock, Zhang Wen smiled gently and continued.
"You can command your people yourself. However, the battle ahead is tense now. Since you are unwilling to provide me with personnel help, then give me some advice. Why do you say that you have fought so many battles?
Not everyone is like Dong Zhongying, who rushes into a melee with his eyes closed, and if he can win, he will win, and if he can't win, he will lose.
He can still talk a lot of truths in his jabbering." This may be Zhang Wen's bottom line, but then again, it may also be said that Zhang Wen has reached the point where he is about to become ill and seek medical treatment. After all, the current situation can be said to be
It is quite disadvantageous. Presumably Zhang Wen's pressure will not be as light as he appears on the surface.
"There is a way now, but I'm not very sure."
Ever since Li Shushi learned about the latest developments in the northwest war from Sun Jian, he had privately exchanged views with Zhang Hui, Cao Xing and others. However, because he had not conducted any actual investigation, he was not very confident.
"No matter what your idea is, you can speak it out and listen to it. Anyway, it is better than the two armies staring at each other above Huaili's head."
It seems that Zhang Wen is really anxious this time.
p.s. Just like the age of innocence is gone forever, I feel that my book seems to be getting heavier and heavier as I write it. Although I really want to lighten the plot, I always write about the background and the events that happened.
People and things, I feel that what I type on the keyboard will give me nightmares every day. In fact, the quality of our sleep is indeed declining, and I have thoughts every day and dreams every night.
, death, survival, betrayal, loyalty, killing, redemption, entanglement, relief, I always feel that I cannot express these things in a more relaxed way, maybe we are too entangled. No matter how much we hope, we will be disappointed.
No matter how old you are, maybe you can be freed by abandoning unnecessary hopes. Even if you can't go back to that innocent age, you still hope to rediscover your original happiness.
