I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 547 Brother Xuande
Cheng Pu and Han Dang have been winning consecutive games in recent days.

The morale and fighting spirit of the three armies have been greatly improved due to successive victories.

Previously, they were stationed in Qingzhou and did not conduct expeditions to Luoyang, Youzhou and other places. Cheng Pu and Han Dang had no chance to participate in these battles.

Therefore, in terms of meritorious achievements, the two of them have always been eager to find an opportunity to show off their skills and establish their status among the generals in Hebei.

This time, Cao Cao fell ill and changed his generals before the battle, so Zhou Yu came to take charge of the army. Cheng and Han took the lead and led the Qingzhou soldiers to fight against Zhou Yu's generals. It can be said that they won many battles and stole the show.

Their next step is to completely expel Zhou Yu from Xiapi Kingdom... It may not be impossible to even completely destroy Cao Cao's army and capture Zhou Yu alive.

Just when the two were excitedly making great achievements, Liu Bei called them directly and told them face to face that he was going to fight against Sun Jian!
Although Cheng Pu and Han Dang are already middle-aged, their temperaments are still staunch and fiery.

This utilitarian heart is naturally no less generous than others.

Seeing that the credit they had gained was about to be given to others, the two of them felt very angry.

However, after all, it was Liu Jian who personally issued the military order. Even if they were unhappy, they could not refute it face to face.

Therefore, Cheng Pu and Han Dang just sat on either side of Liu Bei, with their heads lowered and eyes squinted, their expressions of resentment palpable.

Liu Bei looked back and forth at his two capable generals, understanding their helpless mood at the moment.

In fact, Liu Bei himself is not unwilling?

The great achievement of good luck is right in front of you.

Once this battle is over, Liu Xuande, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Gao Shun and others will become famous far and wide.

In life, especially for generals fighting in battle, what do they value most?
Naturally, it is credit and martial arts.

The level of official rank does not mean everything to warriors. They need sufficient support to support their achievements to stabilize their status in the military.

We are all flesh-and-blood people, and it is impossible for anyone not to desire fame or fame.

Especially when something that should belong to them is suddenly taken away by others... Anyone else would feel uncomfortable.

Does Liu Jian not know this truth?
Liu Bei believed that Liu Jian must know!
But the reason why he still issued such a military order to himself must have his reasons.

Even if Liu Jian does not explain this reason to Liu Bei now, it means that Liu Jian feels that the time is not right and cannot explain it to Liu Bei.

As a brother, Liu Bei is willing to understand the difficulties of his younger brother.

Liu Jian is a superior person. As a superior person, naturally everything will be considered comprehensively. It is impossible to be biased against one-sided situations. For the sake of the overall situation, it is inevitable to sometimes sacrifice the interests of some people. things.

As the closest person to Liu Jian, Liu Bei had the obligation to understand Liu Jian's mood. He also had to consider the overall situation from Liu Jian's perspective.

He also had to find a way to make up for the details that Liu Jian had overlooked because of his overall view.

For example, the emotions of Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

Liu Bei looked back and forth at the two people in front of him, then suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Demo! Yi Gong! What's wrong with you?"

"Is it because of this trivial matter? Are you unhappy and blaming the lord?"

"Where is your heroic spirit?"

Cheng Pu quickly raised his hand to Liu Bei and said: "Xuan Degong's words really make me feel ashamed! I have been following my lord for a long time! If my lord hadn't promoted me from Youzhou to Luoyang, how could I have the glory I have today?" The lord has changed the fate of the general! Pu will not hesitate to dedicate his life to the lord throughout his life! How can he have any complaints? "

Han Dang also hurriedly explained: "When I was outside the Great Wall, I was just an accomplice. It was difficult to protect myself. How could I talk about making achievements? If my lord hadn't promoted me from the ranks, how would I be today? ? Just like Demou, I only admire the Lord in this life, and I am willing to dedicate my life to the Lord! Not to mention my own life, I should be willing to give the lives of my whole family to the Lord."

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction.

"Since Demou and Yi Gong are so loyal to their lord, why are they hesitating at this moment?"

Cheng Pu smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that we have some confusion in our hearts!"

"We can follow your lord's instructions, but the credit for this good work must be given to others... Then who are Cao Bao and Yuan Shu? In someone's opinion, they are just narrow-minded despicable people, and they deserve credit for defeating Cao's army. If all the favors and favors are given to them, wouldn't it mean that our previous hard battles and the lives of those soldiers who died in front of the battle will be in vain?" Han Dang also sighed.

"If our lord lets us divert our troops to fight against Sun Jian, we will be fine. But why...?"

"Snapped--!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei suddenly slammed the table and stood up angrily.

"Although you say you don't blame the lord, your behavior at this moment is any different from blaming the lord?"

"It is precisely when you see good things, you must do it, do not seek selfish benefits, and celebrate good things without giving them a name! Claiming your body and position, do not try to get ahead! Saying things and giving people salary, do not try to get them! Being noble and humble does not go against one's ethics. Don’t mess with the order of the virtuous king!”

"I can't say whether there is anything wrong with the lord's instructions this time, but the lord must have his own considerations!"

"As subordinates, we should obey the Lord's orders with all considerations in mind. Not just compliance, but also understanding!"

"Right now, we can't be limited to the gains and losses of a battle and a city, but we must follow in the footsteps of the Lord! Think from the overall situation! You must know that the Lord's focus is on the entire Han Dynasty, and even the territory outside the Han Dynasty, not just It's just the victory or defeat of Xuzhou and this battle."

"If my lord is the kind of person who only cares about immediate benefits, would he not be as proud as you and I are today?"

"You always use common sense to speculate on my lord's thoughts, but if you think about it carefully, if my lord was a person who followed common sense, how could he be as powerful as he is today? If my lord was a person who followed common sense, how could he lead you from the ranks? Promoted by Han Yigong?"

"If my lord is a person who obeys common sense, how can he transfer a senior official like you, Cheng Demou, to Luoyang from Youzhou, which is thousands of miles away?"

"I am very disappointed when I hear what you two said."

Cheng Pu and Han Dang were shocked when they heard this.

Then they saw the two of them standing up hurriedly and making a long salute to Liu Bei.

"Gong Xuande's lesson today is really sobering! We are so narrow-minded that we don't know it yet... As subordinates, we don't know how to share our master's worries and don't understand the suffering of our master. We are self-righteous and it is a grave sin. Yan."

But Han Dang took out the dagger he carried with him, stretched out the little finger of his left hand, and was about to chop it off with the blade!

Liu Bei, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Han Dang's wrist.

"Yi Gong, what are you doing?" Liu Bei shouted angrily at Han Dang.

Han Dang's face was solemn: "I must have been deeply favored by my lord, but at a critical moment I questioned my lord's military orders... It is really a crime worthy of death! I am willing to cut off my fingers today to wake up and remind myself that I will never do it again in my life!"

Liu Bei forcefully opened Han Dang's palm, took the dagger out of his palm, and left it on the ground.

"Your hands are used to hold weapons, horse reins, and go into battle to kill the enemy! They are used to hold up the world for the Lord."

"How can you harm yourself so easily and belittle yourself?"

"If you chop off your little finger now, that would be the greatest blasphemy to the Lord."

"As the lord's beloved general, you are disrespecting the lord by injuring yourself. Do you know that?"

Liu Bei's words are sonorous and powerful, which is deeply admirable.

When Han Dang and Cheng Pu heard this, they were deeply impressed.

"What Mr. Xuande said is true. You should know that you are wrong."

Cheng Pu on the side also raised his hand to Liu Bei and said: "We have very short-sightedness, but Duke Xuande has a far-sighted vision and can correct the inappropriate behavior of Han Dang. I admire him very much and am willing to obey your lord's military orders." , and are willing to obey Duke Xuande’s orders.”

Liu Bei looked at the two people with satisfaction and nodded heavily.

"That's it! I'll go find Tao Qian the next day and explain that we are transferring troops to Pengcheng Kingdom to fight Sun Jian."

"You wait for the order of troops and be ready to raise troops at any time!"

"Here!"
