I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 682 Adopt everyone’s strengths

Money is a good thing, especially for a group of people who have no faith and only know how to kill and plunder. Money, power, beauty and other things will make them irresistible!

Zhang Fei successfully took advantage of this major characteristic of the generals of the Bingzhou Army today.

Later, Zhang Fei said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, all the warriors under your command are brave men. I admire them very much. These valuables are as a reward for them. It can be regarded as a meeting gift, but you I don’t know much about the warriors’ abilities and past achievements, so I’ll leave it to you, General Lu, as to how these treasures should be divided!”

Lu Bu is smarter now. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What a Zhang Yide, really unusual!

According to Lu Bu's understanding of his subordinates, Zhang Fei spent a lot of money today to win over the generals of Bingzhou. However, the offending matter of distributing the goods was left to him, Lu Bu.

The things are laid out here, but how to divide them, who should get more and who should get less, this is a difficult thing...

Even if it is an average score, it will definitely not work. Lu Bu knows the Bingzhou generals best. Some people think that others have the same score as themselves, and they have to feel that they have suffered a loss.

But all the generals in Bingzhou were watching, so what could Lu Bu say?

"We are truly grateful for General Zhang's kindness...Lü Bu will do his best to distribute it fairly and not let you all..."

Before Lu Bu could finish his words, Wei Xu rushed to say, "General Zhang is so kind, I can't thank you enough! Regardless of others, Wei Xu will serve General Zhang to the best of his ability from now on!"

Hao Meng, who had just scolded Zhang Fei for being useless, now saw money and changed his attitude.

"I have admired the name of General Zhang for a long time, but not for a while in the past! It is really an honor for us to be able to work under the general now. Hao Meng is not talented, and I am willing to work for General Zhang from now on!"

Hou Chengdao: "General Zhang is a famous general in the north. If we can follow him and make achievements, our future will definitely be bright!"

Song Xian and Cao Xing also stepped forward to express their loyalty to Zhang Fei.

At this moment, Lu Bu felt speechless next to him.

These bastards...

Just a moment ago, they were still in front of him, scolding Zhang Fei for not being a thing. Now that they had received Zhang Fei's generous reward, their faces immediately changed!

What kind of humanity is this!

What kind of moral character are these?

Although Lu Bu was angry, there was nothing he could do.

After all, Zhang Fei has more capital than him.

And...among these belongings, I should also have my own share.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu became less angry. To put it bluntly, he was also a greedy and lustful person. When he saw the treasures, his eyes would actually pop out.

Then, Zhang Fei, surrounded by everyone, stepped to the center of the handsome tent.

He looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, the Prime Minister has ordered me to wait for half a year to train my troops in Guanzhong, prepare my generals, and send troops westward to pacify Liangzhou, shock the Western Regions, and achieve great achievements!"

These people originally accompanied Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo to Liangzhou westward, but they did not achieve much success in Liangzhou. Now that Zhang Fei mentioned that they were going to Liangzhou again, they suddenly felt a little hesitant.

Seeing everyone hesitating, Zhang Fei said: "Everyone, when Taifu Dong went to Liangzhou, he did not achieve any great achievements. On the contrary, he was trapped in the mud. However, Taifu Dong's preparation was not sufficient at the beginning. Although he had many soldiers and generals, he did not have enough troops in the rear. It is very stable, so it has not made any progress in the cause in the west, but Prime Minister Liu took charge of the government for the first time, and brought me and other Hebei soldiers into the court, and now he is implementing benevolent government in Guanzhong!"

"You must know something about Hebei, right?"

"When it comes to the experience of pacifying border counties, Hebei has rich experience in the past ten years!"

"When it comes to the production of grain, grass, ironware, and horses, I, Hebei, are the leader of the Han Dynasty!"

"Don't worry about the backup supplies!"

"Now, coupled with the food and reserve support from Guanzhong, Sanhe, Sizhou and other places, it will not be difficult to pacify Xiliang!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei looked around at the Bingzhou generals present and said: "When I joined the army at the beginning of the year, I was also in the border villages of Bingzhou, and I know best the bloody and heroic men of Bingzhou!"

"You are all useful people, and you are also the outstanding men of the Han Dynasty. Are you willing to let go of the opportunity in front of you and let this huge achievement fall into the hands of others? !!"

"Can't we, a hero from Bingzhou, come to accomplish such a huge achievement?"

"Is it possible that none of you here will be able to take the position of Four Towns and Four Expeditions in the future!?"

"I think - not necessarily!!"

Zhang Fei's words can be said to have hit the hearts of Zhu Bingzhou athletes.

Wei Xu stood up excitedly, raised his hands to Zhang Fei and said, "Wei Xu, the last general, is willing to serve General Zhang to the death!"

As soon as Wei Xu opened his mouth, other generals of the Bingzhou Army also stood up.

"The last general, Hou Cheng, is willing to serve on the battlefield for General Zhang!"

"The end will be willing to go!"

"The general is also willing to go!"

These people's blood was boiling at the moment, let alone them, even Lu Bu couldn't help but yearn for it after hearing Zhang Fei's heroic words.

He began to re-examine Zhang Fei.

In the past, Lu Bu didn't know much about Zhang Fei, but he knew that he was abominable in words and extremely brave on the battlefield. In Lu Bu's eyes, Zhang Fei was supposed to be a reckless man, and even if he was wise, he would not be that high.

But it wasn't until today that Lu Bu realized that he had misjudged Zhang Fei.

This man is not only extremely capable on the battlefield, but also good at attacking the mind and resourceful. He is truly a man of both civil and military skills!

At this moment, although Lu Bu still hated Zhang Fei deep down in his heart, he began to admire Zhang Fei a little.

I hate it, but it doesn't stop Lu Bu from admiring capable people!

Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Don't serve me! The ones we serve should be the emperor and the prime minister!"

"what!"

"That's right, serve the Prime Minister!"

“Serve the Emperor and the Prime Minister!” ˜ ˜ ˜ “We must serve the Emperor and the Prime Minister to the death!”

Zhang Fei nodded with satisfaction after everyone changed their minds.

Then, he said: "What should we prepare in the past six months of preparation? How should the soldiers of the three armies practice and dispatch, where should they march from whence they conquer Xiliang, and who are their opponents? All of you have been with Dong Taifu before Those who entered Xiliang are also extremely familiar with the situation in Liangzhou!"

"As you all are here today, we might as well speak freely and share all your ideas on how to conquer Liangzhou! Regardless of whether you can adopt it in the end, I will listen carefully! What do you think?"

After that, Zhang Fei shouted outside the tent: "Give all the captains and commanders a seat!"

As Zhang Fei's roar ended, a group of guards were seen moving into the low seats for the generals.

Seeing this, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others felt grateful.

In addition to giving everyone money, Zhang Fei also valued them so much. He humbly asked for advice when they met for the first time. Considering his status, it was really not easy.

This made all the Bingzhou Military Academy Lieutenants and Sima feel that they were valued.

However, they still maintained their rationality after all, and did not rush to explain their opinions to Zhang Fei, maintaining a relatively stable attitude.

Who knows if Zhang Fei is acting?

Zhang Fei laughed when he saw that everyone was silent, and then called their names.

"Wei Xiaowei, I heard that Qi Jiu fought with General Lu on the battlefield and was a member of the Bingzhou Army. He was also a pioneer in Liangzhou this time. He must have paid more attention to the situation between the enemy and ourselves and the terrain of Liangzhou, right? You might as well tell me what you think first.”

When Wei Xu saw Zhang Fei calling his name, he immediately stood up and said, "General Zhang, according to someone's opinion, the most important thing in the battle of Liangzhou is the supply of food and grass, and on the other hand, the stability of the imperial court."

"Earlier, the Grand Tutor led me to the Western Expedition. It was because the baggage at the rear could not keep up. In addition, there were always troubles with the imperial court, and the emperor was unable to smoothen the affairs of the imperial court. As a result, various situations occurred frequently, so we could not feel at ease on the front line. During the battle, the morale of the three armies was also greatly affected.”

"As for the frontline battlefield, the large number of Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops is a difficulty. The Xiliang counties are vast and too deep. This is also a difficulty. Even if the food and grass are sufficient, we are still between Liangzhou and Guanzhong. At least ten strategic supply points must be set up in advance so that the troops at the front can fight with peace of mind and not be held back by food and grass."

Zhang Fei said with great satisfaction: "Look, the point put forward by Wei Xiaowei is very suitable! Not only did he propose to set up strategic supply points on the road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou, he even told me the number of supply points. Came out, which shows that Colonel Wei had already figured it out and understood during the march. Colonel Wei, where should these ten strategic supply points be set up? Please tell me."

When Wei Xu saw Zhang Fei really asking him for his specific opinions, he couldn't help but feel happy.

He had rarely felt that he was so valued in his life. After all, Lu Bu was not good at accepting everyone's opinions in the past. He always did things arbitrarily. Many people in the Bingzhou Army had developed the habit of silence and listened to Lu Bu's command in everything.

Regardless of whether Zhang Fei's appearance of learning from others is real or fake? I can take advantage of what he did today to have a good time.

"General Zhang, can I mark these strategic supply points on the map?"

Zhang Fei said: "Of course, if Captain Wei has any ideas, just mark them down and I will think about them later.

Wei Xu did his duty and walked directly to the map in the commander's tent, dipped the small book on the table in ink, and then began to mark the map.

During the long journey from Chang'an to Xiliangji County, Wei Xu marked out about twelve strategic destinations for Zhang Fei.

He told Zhang Fei that these places were used for food storage and transfer, and he noticed them during the march. They were all near the main road, so transportation was more convenient, and the distance between the two sections was relatively even. They were all located in densely populated areas in nearby counties, so they were not afraid of enemy forces taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.

Fourth, the terrain in these places is also more favorable, making it easier to defend. You can safely gather food and grass for the soldiers to use on the front line.

After Wei Xu finished speaking, he saw Zhang Fei placing a heavy plate on the table and praised: "Good!"

"Wei Xiaowei is worthy of being a brave general who has been marching in the Bingzhou Army for many years. Not only is he brave and good at fighting, but he also considers the reserve of the front very well. If you pick out any of these twelve strategic supply points at random, It's nothing remarkable, but look at these twelve strategic supply points connected into a long supply queue, which allows our army to receive supplies at any time on the road from Chang'an to Xiliang. As long as the food is sufficient, in the Placing enough mules, horses and carts at strategic supply points and recruiting civilian laborers can provide an endless supply of food and grass to the soldiers on the front line."

"Captain Wei, I will mark your merits."

Having said that, Zhang Fei pretended to say to the guard next to him: "Use a pen and paper to carefully write down what Captain Wei just said, so that I can go back and figure it out. Also write down the merits of the Captain, and let someone remember it later." The merit book will be reported to the Prime Minister after Liangzhou is pacified!"

Don't worry if Zhang Fei is deceiving or speaking from his heart, but the hearts of all Bingzhou generals are alive.

Hao Meng stood up hurriedly and said: "General Zhang, I also have some good advice, which may also be of benefit to the general."

Song Xian also hurriedly said: "General Zhang, regarding the Xiliang rebels, the officials had inquired about their intelligence when they were in Liangzhou. Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the general information of the various rebels in the Xiliang army I know everything about the situation.”

"Now I would like to explain everything to General Zhang, and I would like to ask General Zhang to listen carefully."

Not to be outdone, Hou Cheng and others began to advise Zhang Fei one after another.

Zhang Fei smiled and said to them: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one, I will listen carefully to what you say, and I will carefully consider your suggestions. Don't be anxious, everyone, speak one by one."

In this way, the generals of the Bingzhou Army began to describe to Zhang Fei their inner opinions and their understanding of the battlefield when they were in Liangzhou.

Zhang Fei listened carefully to the words of each of the generals in Bingzhou, and asked his attendants to carefully record the key points, and he himself was able to make some comments and instructions on the opinions raised by these generals. .

There was no dictatorship at all in today's military discussion, and everyone was seriously exchanging combat experiences.

This kind of military exchange made the Bingzhou generals feel very comfortable, but what they didn't know was that military exchanges were a common occurrence in Hebei. As a high-ranking general, Zhang Fei was naturally very familiar with this matter.

This was Liu Jian's basic request for these generals.

After everyone finished speaking out all their opinions, Zhang Fei nodded with great satisfaction.

He then told the generals in Bingzhou that he would take everyone's opinions back to carefully consider them.

And after today's exchange, he also gained a new understanding of the generals in Bingzhou, and he also roughly understood the military strengths of the generals present.

He is very optimistic about the prospect of expedition to Xiliang.

Lu Bu had been quietly observing Zhang Fei's actions, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

He no longer had any prejudice against Zhang Fei, but settled down, carefully observed Zhang Fei's every word and action, and carefully studied them.

It seems that the generals in Hebei are indeed extraordinary. They have been trained and influenced by Liu Jian, and they are much better than the generals in other states.
