Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei stood up, his eyes shining slightly, and he was about to take the initiative to ask for help.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang glanced at him sideways and suddenly said.
"But my lord, you still have to think carefully about your selection. After all, this is a long-distance battle, far away from the territory.
In addition to loyalty, character and strategy must also be considered.
A first-rate general like General Zhang Fei is somewhat out of date."
Zhang Fei didn't even say anything, his face turned red.
"Zhuge Villager, what do you have in mind? Do you hold grudge against me, Zhang Fei, for scolding you just now, ah, and now you are hurting me like this?"
Zhuge Liang saw Zhang Fei's face turned red, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, but his tone was that of injustice.
"That's unfair. I'm not saying that General Zhang Fei has no strategy and has an inappropriate personality."
Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhang Fei's face turned even redder, and wisps of white smoke rose above his head.
"General Zhang Fei, please listen to what I have to say."
"My grass (a kind of herb), you are a Zhuge villager, you are not..."
"General Zhang Fei, let me ask you, what would you do if you met Fang Fan's generals in that area?"
"If I were still afraid of Fang Fan when I met him, what would my generals be afraid of? Am I, Zhang Fei, the kind of person without courage?"
"look."
Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Bei and said respectfully.
"Lord, Yuzhou and its surrounding areas belong to Ning'an's sphere of influence. We will definitely encounter Ning'an troops during this trip.
And if General Zhang Fei leads the team there, there will definitely be a conflict with Ning'an.
Far water cannot quench the near thirst. In Ning'an's sphere of influence, how can General Zhang Fei and his small-scale elite be the opponent of Ning'an's large-scale army?
If you are lucky, you will return empty-handed, but if you are unlucky, General Zhang may not be able to save his life."
Zhuge Liang said seriously, and Zhang Fei became even more unhappy after hearing this.
"Brother, I..."
"Okay, third brother, Kong Ming is not targeting you, what he said is indeed the truth.
When you get to Ning'an's territory, your hot temper will definitely conflict with Ning'an, and it won't end well.
Okay, go back, let your second brother go on this mission."
"I...I'll go with the second brother. Isn't it okay that the second brother has the final say in everything?"
Zhang Fei's mouth worked hard to hold back a sentence.
"Nonsense, you and your second brother are gone, who will guard the house? Are you going to abandon me?"
"me...."
Zhang Fei was speechless, closed his mouth, stood aside, and drew circles on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and flapped his feather fan in a happy mood.
Phew, the sun is so bright today.
"Yun Chang, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, brother, Yun Chang will definitely live up to his trust."
"Well, you have always been prudent in everything you do, so I can't be more at ease."
Liu Bei nodded.
"This time you go to my camp and order twenty elite soldiers. As for the combination of other arms, you can decide by yourself."
The White-Er Elite Soldiers, Liu Bei's personal guards, are advanced special units and are proficient in both cavalry and infantry combat. They are absolutely elite. Even now, only a few dozen of them can be successfully dispatched.
He has not yet reached the peak of his strength.
Hearing that the White-Er elite soldiers were mobilized, Guan Yu's red face showed a hint of surprise, but then he nodded again.
"yes."
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Liu Bei suddenly remembered something and stopped Guan Yu when he was about to leave.
“Didn’t Leng Feng break through the fifth level some time ago?
Bring him with you, this person has good strength, good potential, and guaranteed loyalty. He can be trained and trained, and he can also help you solve your problems."
"Yes, lord."
After Guan Yu left, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei.
"My lord, are you planning to re-employ modern people?"
Liu Bei stroked his beard and nodded slowly.
"The proportion of modern people in the territory is increasing, and the grassroots management has almost been replaced by modern people."
"Alas, the number of people in modern times is too terrifying, and their abilities are too terrifying.
It turns out that everyone is literate and can speak great truths, and their broad knowledge and overall view are beyond the comparison of ordinary scholars."
"Yes, their quality is too high."
"I heard that these are the results of nine years of compulsory education.
I have to admire the great man who made this decision.
To be so courageous, so great, enlightened and understanding of people's opinions, and that a strong young man will make a country strong, a rich young man will make a country rich, knowledge is the primary productive force, etc.
It’s really admirable.”
Zhuge Liang said with admiration on his face.
"This is really the best of times. It is said that books are the cheapest things, and it is said that all knowledge can be found on the Internet and viewed at will.
I really, really envy those people living in this era, they are so happy.”
Zhuge Liang sighed sincerely.
"Yes, but they are all too smart. There are so many smart people. They are so smart that it makes people feel chilled in their hearts."
"So the Lord did not allow a modern person to enter the core and senior levels. Even the modern people in the middle and upper middle levels were carefully restricted."
"Yes, it's a pity that it can't be done now. Modern people have taken over the grassroots operations of the entire territory, as well as most of the commercial operations.
Without modern humans, the territory would be severely damaged even if it did not collapse."
Liu Bei said with a wry smile.
“The conflict between modern people and people of our time is getting more and more intense.
They long for status, long for respect, and long for taking their position in the territory to a higher level."
"But the Lord has blocked all their ascending channels, leaving them with no hope."
"Yes, I used a few idle mid-level positions to stabilize them before, but now, they have almost lost hope."
"Once hope is lost..."
Liu Bei didn't dare to think about it anymore, even these things made him feel cold in his heart.
"Sometimes I really envy Fang Fan. Living in this most beautiful era, he is naturally in the same camp as modern people.
As long as they have enough ability, prestige can easily suppress modern people and make them work diligently and build their territory.
Unlike us, there is always a gap between modern people and us, and they are inherently suspicious of us."
Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, Zhuge Liang did not speak at this time.
If Liu Bei didn't realize it, he would naturally remind him, but now that Liu Bei has realized it, he doesn't need to say more.
"We have to give them a little hope."
"Is Leng Feng the attempt you are planning to make, my lord?"
Liu Bei nodded.
"Even if I have to give them a hope, even if I have to give them a way to rise.
Then this ascending channel and this hope must be firmly held in my hands!
Only those who are loyal to me, and those who rely on me can rise, this... There is no doubt about it!!"
Liu Bei's expression was serious and he shouted in a deep voice.
