I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 622 Senior brother pleads guilty
As for Shangdang, Gongsun Zan also had his acquaintances in Yecheng.

Liu Jian once publicly ordered him to go to Sanhe with Xu Rong as the deputy vanguard. This incident made Gongsun Zan feel a little unhappy.

In terms of relationship, the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Jian is closer and closer. Why should the old guy Xu Rong limit and manage himself?

Although I feel a little unhappy about this matter, after all, it involves all three armies marching to Guanzhong, which is a milestone for the entire Hebei.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan must participate.

Be the old guy's second-in-command.

If he turns out to be unworthy and incompetent, no matter how hard he teaches him, he will not be afraid of his disobedience. How about being a pioneer?Could it be that he could have a higher status than the general's senior brother?
So Gongsun Zan began to organize the White Horse Yi Cong he had just formed in Shangdang. At the same time, he prepared food and packed ordnance, preparing to go south to Sanhe at any time according to Liu Jian's orders.

He just waited and waited, but he didn't wait for Liu Jian's recruitment order.

This made Gongsun Zan feel very confused.

In terms of military affairs, the Hebei Group can be said to be the most advanced existence in the Han Dynasty. Whether it is recruiting soldiers and horses, or recruiting grain and grass, no one can match it in speed.

Why is it so slow this time?
Just when Gongsun Zan was filled with helplessness and expectation, the news he finally waited for was that he had been dismissed from his position as deputy vanguard!
The vanguard general was still Xu Rong, but the other two deputies became Qu Yi and Xu Huang from Youzhou.

When he heard that his deputy vanguard had been dismissed, Gongsun Zan suddenly became angry, and he was very unwilling to accept it.

Gongsun Zan, who was packing up his troops, couldn't help it anymore.

He immediately handed over the matters here to his men and rushed towards Yecheng in the starry night.

However, after Gongsun Zan arrived in Yecheng, he was not in a hurry to see Liu Jian.

He went to the state university to meet his mentor Lu Zhi.

Now Lu Zhi has become the honorary vice president of Hebei State University. He is in charge of a lot of students and a lot of teachers.

Lu Zhi had been in poor health in the past two years, but fortunately Hua Tuo checked Lu Zhi's pulse after arriving in Yecheng, saying that he was too angry and violent. He had worked too hard for many years and was sick with worry.

Hua Tuo asked Lu Zhi to relax and prescribed him a lot of medicine to take care of his body.

Now, seeing that Hebei is so prosperous and that the Han Dynasty has the support of his apprentice Liu Jian, Lu Zhi's mentality is indeed much calmer than before.

It is estimated that without these factors, Lu Zhi would not have survived for a few years.

But now Lu Zhi is relatively healthy, and he also hopes that he can live a long life, because he wants to see what the world will become in the end?
Lu Zhi doesn't care about anything else now. He just quietly performs his duties as honorary vice president at state universities and supervises teachers at all levels to let them train students in these universities well, because he knows that these people are from the Han Dynasty. future.

Gongsun Zan's sudden visit surprised Lu Zhi.

He, who had retired from politics, suddenly met his old student. Although this student was not very lovable at first, Lu Zhi was still very happy that Gongsun Zan could come to see him.

It's a pity that Gongsun Zan is really disappointing.

Gongsun Zan only briefly described the friendship between their master and disciple to Lu Zhi, and then began to complain to Lu Zhi.

What did Gongsun Zan and Lu Zhi complain about?

There is no doubt that he was just complaining that his junior brother Liu Jian was really not very good, and he didn't care about his fellow students at all. This big thing like conquering Guanzhong can be said to be the biggest military operation in Hebei in many years.

However, the younger junior brother changed his mind at the last moment and first made himself the deputy vanguard. However, before the appointment of the deputy vanguard came down, he withdrew himself again. Instead, two outsiders, Xu Huang and Qu Yi, were brought up.

If Gongsun Zan doesn't strive to be the vanguard, then isn't he even qualified to be the deputy vanguard?
Gongsun Zan was quite dissatisfied with this matter, but what he didn't expect was that when he was talking about this, Lu Zhi was about to get angry.

This is because Teacher Lu has a good temper and has made great achievements in cultivating his character over the years. If it were before him, he would have to kill this unscrupulous disciple even if he drew his sword.

At that moment, Lu Zhi pointed at Gongsun Bazi and scolded him.

"You are my disciple, and Deran is also my disciple. Your brothers are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, and as teachers, you are also ministers of the Han Dynasty. Whatever we do is done without losing loyalty, so that's all right."

"If you are too selfish, how can you be a Han official? How can you bring peace, order and peace to the world?"

"There was great chaos in Guanzhong, the people were displaced, and the emperor was helpless. De Ran had to raise troops as a last resort, just to appease the people and save the people and save the emperor." "For such a major event, it is naturally his duty as a general to appoint virtuous people before the battle. This is The stakes are so high that there is no room for favoritism."

"As his senior brother and my disciple, you should fulfill your duties to the fullest and show your loyalty."

"But look what you've done?"

"For your own selfish gain and your own desires, you have said such slanderous words about your junior brother. Are you still worthy of being my disciple?"

Gongsun Zan's face turned red with anger when he heard Lu Zhi hurt him like this.

But he did feel a little guilty because of Lu Zhi's words.

In fact, the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Lu Zhi was not good, and could even be said to be discordant.

But over the years, as Gongsun Zan made some achievements, the exchanges between their master and apprentice became more frequent.

Gongsun Zan also gradually understood Lu Zhi better.

Although Gongsun Zan sometimes disagreed with Lu Zhi's opinions, Lu Zhi did speak to his heart about today's matter.

It's really not good to criticize one's junior brother in front of one's mentor.

After Lu Zhi criticized Gongsun Zan, he walked away without saying anything more to him.

From now on, I returned to Guanyi. I learned from the pain and thought about it again and again. Finally, I went to Liu Jian's residence to plead guilty.

When Liu Jian saw Gongsun Zan shirtless and with a thorn stick on his back, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Liu Jian hurriedly helped Gongsun Zan up from the ground, and pulled the thorns off for Gongsun Zan, regardless of the thorns pricking his hands.

"Brother, what did you do this time? Are you ashamed of killing me?"

Gongsun Zan's face was filled with shame.

"Junior brother, I am here to apologize to you. I was confused for a moment and slandered my junior brother behind my back, but I never thought that my junior brother is dedicated to the public and everything he does is for the country."

"Compared to the vastness of my junior brother's mind, my brother is really very narrow-minded."

"Junior brother, in this Western Expedition, I don't want to fight for the vanguard. I want to be a pawn for you. I will charge into the battle and be willing to serve."

Liu Jian hugged Gongsun Zan.

"Brother, sometimes for the sake of the country, the nation, and the great cause, we all have to sacrifice something."

"I am really touched that senior brother can have such an awareness."

"Senior brother, please rest assured. As long as senior brother doesn't let me down, I will never let him down."

"In this western expedition, senior brother and your white-horse followers will be in my central army."

"There are too many wars in Guanzhong, and there are too many disasters to quell. There is no need to rush."

"Even if this front-line vanguard is improper, there are still many merits for senior brother."

"Senior brother, are you willing to believe me?"

Gongsun Zan kept nodding his head: "Believe it, of course I believe it."

"Other than you, junior brother, who else in the world can accuse me of trusting my brother with my life?"

"Okay! Then this time, let us brothers go west together."

"it is good!"
