Chapter 144: Recognize the reality clearly, hide the spirit in the heart (two in one)
"This guy really deserves to die!"
Niu Fu pointed the knife at Wei Zhongdao and said extremely angrily.
"His future father-in-law works for my father-in-law and is very trusted.
As a result, he who wanted to be a son-in-law did not want to serve my father-in-law. Instead, he became a rebel and came with the rebels to cause rebellion against my father-in-law!
What's the use of keeping such a person?
Cai Shizhong didn't know about this matter. Even if Cai Shizhong knew about it, he would definitely not forgive this guy based on Cai Shizhong's character!
I can't tolerate such a traitor and become his son-in-law!
By doing this, I saved Cai Shizhong's effort!"
After that, Niu Fu thought for a while and said: "Let's see what Cai Shizhong will say when he gets the news!
If I know what is good or bad, forget it. If I don’t know what is good or bad, I will ask Cai Shizhong carefully what he means!
Do you want to have evil intentions towards my father-in-law, do you want to stay with my father-in-law, and work as an internal collaborator with these rebels?"
At this time, Niu Fu looked very imposing.
After saying these words, he slashed at Wei Zhongdao a few more times, and then started to kill the remaining seven people.
This time, Niu Fu, who had just spoken very forcefully, did not pull the cloth out of the mouths of these people, but just chopped them to death one by one.
With his father-in-law here, Niu Fu is indeed very courageous and not afraid of trouble at all.
However, sometimes, not being afraid of trouble does not mean not being afraid of trouble.
The operation just now brought out Cai Shizhong's future son-in-law. Who knows who's relatives are among the remaining rebels?
When asked, he would also chop them all to death. It would be better to just chop them to death without even giving them a chance to speak, as he did now, to save trouble!
Lest one of them get some relatives to try to antagonize others.
In a short time, Niu Fu hacked all these people to death.
After doing such a thing, Niu Fu felt much better.
He looked at Wei Zhongdao's body for a while, and then issued an order to have Wei Zhongdao's head chopped off and marinated.
He would wait a moment and send someone to his father-in-law, and talk to his father-in-law about the matter.
Niu Fu, although sometimes he is a bit out of his mind when doing things, he is a bit confused.
But when it comes to his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, he really has nothing to say and has never concealed anything...
After Niu Fu calmed down, he quickly thought of Cai Yong and Cai Yan from Wei Zhongdao, and from Cai Yong and Cai Yan, he thought of his brother Kede and Lu Bu, who was extremely shameless, but he couldn't kill him.
Guy.
After associating all these things clearly, Niu Fu quickly asked people to write letters, telling Liu Cheng that he would deal with the Baibo thieves here, and kill Wei Zhongdao who had surrendered to the Baibo thieves.
After doing these things, Niu Fu began to summon his generals and began to brainstorm ways to attack these damn Baibo thieves and avenge his shame...
…
"Uncle! We did fail this time, but we were somewhat unjust.
If it weren't for the shameless dog thief who took away many of our good horses and weapons when we were at Sishui Pass, resulting in us losing 500 cavalry, we might not be able to stop the thief general Xu Huang!
It may not be possible to keep people like Yang Feng!"
After the military discussion was over, Zhang Xiu, who returned to his military camp, said this to his uncle Zhang Ji, looking a little angry.
This time, they lost the battle here. When they were conducting military discussions and meeting with other generals, they naturally felt a little embarrassed. The dwarves were three points...
It's okay for Zhang Ji. After all, he is older and has experienced many things, so he doesn't care much about these things.
But Zhang Xiu cannot.
Zhang Xiu was still young, so it was the time when he cared about these things.
After all this, I was already holding a lot of things in my heart.
As soon as he returned to his camp, he couldn't wait to talk to Zhang Ji and put the blame for the defeat on Liu Cheng.
"And this guy is extremely shameless!
When we were in Luoyang, our lieutenant general came to him to ask for equipment. He said that the soldiers had nothing to take advantage of, and he planned to return it to us when he had enough money.
As a result, this guy has now become Zhendong Zhonglang General, commanding 30,000 troops and horses. Even now, he still has not mentioned the matter of returning the horses and weapons.
Uncle, this is too bullying!
Why don't we mention this matter to our lieutenant-general in a few days, and let our lieutenant-general ask the other party to come over...
Otherwise, I always feel like I can’t swallow this breath..."
Zhang Xiu looked even more indignant as he said this.
But he didn't notice that at some point, his uncle Zhang Ji's eyebrows had wrinkled into a knot.
"Xiu'er, don't say that again! If you can't swallow this breath, you have to swallow it for me too!
By this time, you and I are no longer on the same level as that person!
You and I both know how many great things the other party has done during these times!
This is a truly capable person with an unlimited future, I can already see it!
Before, I was always worried about hurting your face and damaging your spirit, so there were some things I never said to you.
It seems that I have to tell you something at this time.
People must be courageous and think highly of themselves, this is for sure!
But sometimes, you must have self-awareness.
Know what can and cannot be done.
In this world, many things cannot be accomplished simply by following one's temperament.
I have no heirs, so I treat you as my biological son.
In the past, I only taught you vigor and did not impose many restrictions on you. From now on, I will teach you some other things.
First of all, you must learn to convince others.
Don't be in a hurry to speak. What I said about convincing people has no conflict with the spirit of what I said to you before.
You must have energy, but you don't have to show it all the time to prove to others that you have energy.
Most of the time, you need to hide this thing in your heart. Just know that you have it.
When I was your age, my thoughts were similar to yours. I always felt that God was the boss and I was the second child, and I refused to accept anyone.
But later, as I experienced more things and met more people, I slowly realized that there are too many capable and capable people in this world.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it!
There are some people, even if you are barefoot, carrying shoes, and risking your life, you still can't catch up!
Admitting that you are inferior to others does not mean that you lose your energy, but that you can continue to maintain your energy and move forward while recognizing the reality!
For example, I knew this ten years ago and knew that I was not as good as many people.
But have I lost the energy in my heart?
Not really!
Otherwise, I would not have gone from being a little Qu Junhou back then to becoming a military commander today...
I know that you have always been dissatisfied with Liu Chengxin.
This is not only because he captured you alive in front of Sishui Pass, but also robbed many of our war horses and other fine ordnance when passing Sishui Pass, and refused to give it to us.
Another reason is that the other person is from a lower background than you!
When we first met, I was far inferior to you, but at that time, I captured you alive, who had always been praised for my martial arts.
Then this person got up quickly at a speed faster than charging on horseback, was on par with you, and quickly surpassed you!
Now, even your proud uncle has been far surpassed...
More importantly, this person is younger than you..."
Originally, Zhang Xiu still had many dissatisfactions.
But as Zhang Ji's words came out one after another, the dissatisfaction in his heart quickly disappeared.
Moreover, his complexion gradually became pale.
In the past, the defensive shell made of rebelliousness and vigor was torn down by his uncle.
At this time, Zhang Xiu felt that all his inner thoughts were exposed in front of his uncle, and his whole person was seen through.
This feeling was very unpleasant and made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
With a pale face, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Seeing the state of his nephew, who had always been proud in the past, Zhang Ji couldn't bear it.
He wanted to stop talking, but after hesitating for a while, Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and continued:
"Liu Cheng is brave and resourceful, and he is very capable of doing things. In a short period of time, he has gone from a pig-killing boy to the world-famous Zhendong Zhonglang General!
One person guarding Sishui Pass blocked all the Kwantung rebels. He also left the pass several times, took the initiative to attack, and defeated the rebels several times...
Such a person is destined to be no ordinary person, and is no longer something you and my uncle and nephew can mess with.
Even our Zhonglang General, as well as beings like Lu Bu and Dong Yue, still dare not provoke them easily.
We don’t want those war horses and weapons.
After a while, I will write a letter and clearly inform Uncle Liu Huang that we do not want those war horses and ordnance. Only by keeping them in his hands can they show their due value."
When Zhang Ji finally said this, Zhang Xiu raised his head and looked at his uncle.
This is a complete show of weakness to Liu Cheng!
It means that the other party has taken away so many soldiers, horses and weapons from you and refused to return them. Not only do you and others not ask for them, but you also tell them with a shy face and a smile that you and others do not want these things anymore...
…
"It's not easy for us to get this war horse ordnance back.
If you really ask for it by force, you will only completely turn against this person. This is an extremely unwise approach.
On the contrary, it is not as good as what we are doing now, just doing a favor and letting this person remember some of our good deeds..."
Zhang Ji met Zhang Xiu's gaze and spoke to him slowly.
"It's up to you to deliver the message to Bishui Pass. It just so happens that many of our military doctors here are about to leave for Bishui Pass to learn the wonderful healing methods taught by Uncle Liu Huang. You can take some soldiers and horses to escort you.
, be more prudent!”
"Uncle, I..."
When Zhang Xiu heard what Zhang Ji said, he immediately became anxious and argued quickly.
As a result, his uncle, who had been very tolerant to him in the past, unexpectedly became hard to talk to him this time.
Before Zhang Xiu could finish speaking, Zhang Ji shook his head and opened his mouth, interrupting Zhang Xiu's words.
"This matter must be done by you and cannot be replaced by others! This is an order! It is a military order!"
Zhang Ji's expression became a little serious.
After saying that, he reached out and pointed at his and Zhang Xiu's backs.
"You and I are not alone. There are wives, children, and children behind us, and there are many people from our Zhang family. Many times, we cannot just rely on loyalty to do things..."
Zhang Xiu hesitated to speak, finally closed his mouth, hung his head and walked away.
After watching his nephew leave and disappear, Zhang Ji, who was still serious just now, slumped down quite a bit and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
What he said just now was actually something he was extremely reluctant to say.
I couldn't bear to see Zhang Xiu like this.
But he still said it.
Because he knows that some words and some things must be said and done.
There are some truths that he must understand sooner or later.
It is better for him, as his uncle, to teach him these principles than for others to teach him when the time comes.
Others are not his relatives, not his uncles, and they will not be as gentle as himself!
I hope Xiu'er can realize her good intentions and cheer up soon!
With this thought in mind, he stood here for a while, then turned around and returned to his tent...
…
The next day, Zhang Xiu rode a horse, held a gun, and led people from Hedong, back to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to Sishui Pass...
It's just that Zhang Xiu, who always seemed to be in high spirits in the past, this time was completely lackluster and lacked a lot of vigor.
Looking at Zhang Xiu, who was walking away towards Luoyang with his people, Zhang Ji seemed both pleased and distressed.
After looking at it for a while, he smiled, turned around, and continued to deal with military affairs...
…
Here in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo seemed a little irritable.
The joy and joy of being defeated one after another by Yuan Shao and others has almost disappeared at this time.
Before he led his troops into Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had imagined how wonderful it would be one day to lead his troops into Luoyang and gain control of the world!
When he really took advantage of the chaos in Luoyang, led his troops and accomplished such a thing in one fell swoop, he felt extremely complacent for a short period of time, feeling that with his own means, he would be able to
He quickly convinced everyone and won them over to his side.
However, later, Han Fu, Zhang Zi and a large number of people who had been appointed by him to become senior officials turned around and started to deal with him. This made him extremely angry and at the same time, his inner self-confidence was also hit...
