Xuande

Chapter 220 Is it really not the same way?

Since Liu Bei dared to stand up as a peacemaker, he naturally had a solution to this problem.

"This is indeed a problem. The matter of food and fodder logistics is the top priority and cannot be taken lightly. So, let me do this matter."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Wen, bowed his hands and saluted: "General, Bei's troops have gone through hard battles and suffered a lot of losses. They are at the end of their strength and the soldiers are unbearable to fight any more. Please protect the food roads for the army so that the subordinates can rest. I also ask the general to agree. "

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhang Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is Xuande really willing to protect the grain path for the army?"

Liu Bei nodded.

"willing."

"it is good."

Zhang Wen patted Liu Bei's shoulder with a smile: "The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, marching and fighting, food and grass are the most important thing, if Xuande guarantees the safety of food roads for the army, Xuande will also make great contributions when the army succeeds , Xuande's name will definitely not be included in the military merit list for the next battle."

"Thank you, General."

Liu Bei bowed and saluted, giving Zhang Wen enough face.

With Liu Bei stepping up to smooth things over, this small disturbance can be considered resolved, and Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen have nothing to say, and it would be impolite to continue, they would not do such a stupid thing.

The generals of each army gave orders to go back to reorganize the army, and they were ready to send troops.

And Liu Bei, who led the logistics of the whole army, began to get busy. He wanted to take the lead in dispatching before the army set out to reorganize the logistics for the army and ensure the safety of the logistics after the army entered Liangzhou.

He does not need to be responsible for the specific grain transportation affairs, but the safety of the grain road needs to be guaranteed by him. If the grain road is faulty, his crime will be serious, and he will not be wronged if he is beheaded.

For this reason, Zhang Wen allocated another [-] troops under the command of Liu Bei to ensure the safety of grain roads.

His subordinates have different views on this matter that Liu Bei took care of himself.

Guan Yu and Dong Huang both felt that it was okay because they had made a lot of contributions, and this contribution could be exchanged for a lot of wealth from the court. They were more accepting of Liu Bei's concession in order to unite the army.

Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun had just followed Liu Bei not long ago, and they themselves had made certain military achievements, so they refused to comment on this matter, and accepted orders honestly.

Zhang Fei was not very happy.

He felt that both Guan Yu and Dong Juan had killed important thieves, but he hadn't. Now that Liu Bei didn't let him go to the frontal battlefield, he could only protect the army's logistics. He was very unhappy, so he kept yelling and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill Kill the enemy general.

Liu Bei didn't think it was a big deal, he just slapped him on the head to tell him to shut up, so he didn't dare to speak.

Don't look at Zhang Fei as a maniac and war-crazy outside, poking holes with his mouth and shutting his mouth to decide life and death. He is full of energy and looks fearless, but he is afraid of Liu Bei.

As long as Liu Bei stares, even if he doesn't say a word, Zhang Fei will feel scared and dare not say anything.

Sun Jian is an exception among this group of people.

Sun Jian was not a subordinate of the serious Liu Bei, he didn't grow up with him, and he didn't get any promise from Liu Bei, but Zhu Jun entrusted him to take care of Liu Bei.

Although Sun Jian thanked Liu Bei for finding a position for him, deep down in his heart he still wanted to achieve great military exploits so that he could achieve a career and gain a higher status with his own ability.

In the previous fierce battle, he failed to capture the flag as a general, and his military merits were not great. If this continues, even if the battle is over, he doesn't know if he can take away his position as Sima of another department, let alone be named a marquis and a general.

His goal in life is to become a marquis and a general.

Seeing Sun Jian's depression, Liu Bei could understand Sun Jian's thoughts, so he had a private conversation with Sun Jian outside the barracks.

"Does Wentai want to make more military achievements?"

Sun Jian was a little surprised that Liu Bei saw through his thoughts, but he was not hypocritical.

"Did you see it?"

"You came all the way from Jiangdong, and you must be asking for a lot, I can understand."

Liu Bei smiled: "Protecting logistics is indeed not a good job. The task is heavy and the responsibility is great, but the credit is not necessarily great. The greatest credit is always the soldiers who fought on the front line, so I can understand your feelings. If you want to Fight on the front line, I can work for you."

"really?"

Sun Jian immediately became excited, and hurriedly said: "If it is true, Sun will definitely keep this kindness in his heart! He will never forget your kindness to me!"

Liu Bei smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you, it's not a big deal."

Sun Jian was overjoyed. After thanking Liu Bei, he immediately went back to rectify his troops.

Looking at his leaving back, the smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared.

Sure enough, Sun Wentai and himself are not in the same way.

He took such good care of him, or left as he said, without any consideration at all.

It can only be said that the Jiangdong Tigers are brave if they are brave, but it is a pity.

Liu Bei quickly found Zhou Shen, told Zhou Shen what Sun Jian thought, and recommended Sun Jian to be Zhou Shen's subordinate. Zhou Shen thought of Sun Jian's bravery, so he agreed to accept Sun Jian. Down.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Dong Huang, Zhen Yan and others were all dissatisfied with this matter, and their perception of Sun Jian became very bad, thinking that he was not a good person, and Liu Bei could not take care of him in the future.

To think so little of people who promote themselves and are kind to them, and leave as soon as they say it, and regard credit as more important than repaying kindness. Such a person is not worth investing any resources in taking care of him.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, just told them not to talk about other people's mistakes behind their backs.

However, what Sun Jian did was really unethical, and even Sun Jian's own subordinate, Cheng Pu, had some opinions on this.

He persuaded Sun Jian.

"Our Jiangdong disciples came to the war with Liu Xuande, and we were his subordinates at the beginning. Now, just because we can't fight on the front line and make military exploits, we are transferred to the command of other generals, which will bring you a very bad reputation. , I don't think that's the right thing to do."

Sun Jian shook his head, not taking this matter seriously.

"When we join the army, we fight with our lives for the sake of military merit and wealth. There are not many opportunities like this. If you seize it once, you must not let it go, otherwise you will regret it in the future!

Of course, the commander-in-chief can also get military merits, but how can it be compared with fighting?We have traveled thousands of miles from Jiangdong to Kansai to fight, are we asking for military rations? "

Cheng Pu still didn't agree.

"I think Liu Xuande will achieve great achievements in the future. If you follow him, you will definitely get what you want. Why are you in a hurry? After Zhu Gong left, the only one who can speak for you in Luoyang Liu Xuande, now that you are giving up your long-term plans for temporary military exploits, I am worried about you in private."

Sun Jian thought for a while, and felt that what Cheng Pu said was not unreasonable, and he was a little shaken, but then he thought of his own background, thought of his current embarrassing situation, still gritted his teeth, and rejected Cheng Pu's suggestion.

"As long as you can fight hard on the front line, nothing else is the most important thing! For us, military merit is the most important thing!"

He wants to win!

He wants to win the battle!

These things are the foundation of a general, and the others are not the most important.

The imperial court needs a strong general who can fight. As long as the combat achievements are large enough, he can obtain greater benefits than now. By then, he will have more confidence in dealing with Liu Bei.

He hoped that he could achieve Zhu Jun's achievement, that he could become a county marquis and become a general. In that case, his life would definitely be different from the past.

Seeing Sun Jian being so stubborn, Cheng Pu had no choice but to give up persuasion.
