Chapter 901

Ask for guaranteed monthly ticket

Zhang Chu is a real old man in the black flag army. He has followed Fang Xie since Fang Xie had not set the title of the black flag army, only a little later than sun Kaidao. He chose to stay with Fang Xie when Fang Xie came to langrushan in the northwest to take over the Sui army.

Through ups and downs in recent years, he has also done a lot for the black flag army.

However, although this person is cautious, he can control the small situation and can't see the overall situation. Wu Yidao's evaluation of him is that he is literate and martial and a talent. But the vision is too small and the ability is limited. Wu Yidao's comments are very pertinent... Let Zhang Chu govern the place together and reluctantly. If you give him a county, no one can do better than him. Give Zhang Chu 100000 men and horses. He was unable to control it. Finally, he was defeated and died. Give him ten thousand men and horses and run the army in an orderly manner. A small victory will not lead to a big defeat.

But Fang Xie is the most loving person. Zhang Chu has been with him for a long time, so it's inevitable to take more care of him. In order not to let Zhang Chu feel wronged, after thinking about it, Fang Xie arranged him in a very important position. Although his official position is not very high, even if he can't do everything with his ability, there will be no trouble.

But who knows, in such a position, he still let Fang Xie down.

A banquet

A pot of wine

Zhang Chu sat there, staring at the full glass of wine in front of him.

Fang Xie doesn't speak, just drinks cup by cup.

"Lord..."

Zhang Chu raised his head and looked at Fang Xie. He wanted to talk and stopped. Finally, he just sighed and drank the wine in the cup.

Fang Xie took up the wine pot and filled it for him. He was silent for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about what kind of excuse to excuse you these days. I've thought over all the credit you made after following me carefully, and then I'll take away your sin and see how to deal with it."

"My Lord, this is wrong."

Zhang Chu put down his glass and said bitterly, "the rules set by the Lord for the black flag army are reward for meritorious deeds and punishment for mistakes. I have done some things before, but the Lord has rewarded them, and the rewards are very rich. Now there is a fault, and it is no reason to exchange the previous credit... Credit is credit, and fault is fault."

Fang Xie looked at him: "I always knew that you were the one with the strongest principle in the black flag army, but you knew that. Why did you break the law?"

"Because you, Lord."

Zhang Chu drank up the wine in the cup again and smiled: "Now that I'm here, I don't have anything to avoid. In fact, I've always wanted to say a lot of things, but many of them can't be said... There's no doubt that the Lord is the best Lord. Considering so many heroes in the world, no one can treat his subordinates better than the Lord. If anyone doubts this, I'm willing to make a fortune 。”

"In terms of reward, the black flag army is the highest. In terms of welfare, the black flag army is the highest. In terms of salary and silver, the black flag army is the highest."

Zhang Chu said, "but... My Lord."

He stood up, feeling a little excited: "do you know what makes people feel most uneasy?"

"What?"

Fang Xie asked.

"It's you who care too much about love."

Zhang Chu said loudly, "my Lord is not enough to be a hero. Brothers follow you because you have friendship. That's right, but there's another reason... That's why everyone hopes to have a good future and a good home with your Lord. You can honor the general and honor the family. But your many decisions disappoint your subordinates..."

"Go ahead."

Fang Jiedao.

"First, the Lord is too fond of old love. For example, what a good flag is the long princess now in the camp? If the Lord holds this flag to send troops, it's fair! But the Lord just keeps the princess in the camp. She's delicious and delicious. She doesn't need her at all!"

"Second, the Lord has been in charge of the whole world, but what's his name? Long ago, someone advised him to ascend to the throne and become king first. In this way, he rewarded the people below. But the Lord didn't accept a Duke until the eldest princess came. The Duke of the country is not low, but how can he reward his subordinates? The black flag army went out to fight, and the generals have great military achievements, but can they The generals under the LORD have the name of a general. Do you have a grade? No! "

"Third, if we draw a conclusion from the two points mentioned before, what is it? The Lord has no desire to dominate the world!"

Zhang Chu lamented, "this third point is the most unsettling thing. There is no doubt that everyone follows the Lord because he is good and for his own good. But if you can't see the Lord's ambition, you can't see your future."

"So..."

At this point, he paused involuntarily.

"So you started looking for a way back for yourself."

Fang Xie sighed softly and took a sip of wine: "You think my mind is not on the world war, but on being a great general of the great Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, I will not respect Princess Chang, or I will not be promoted to the throne and become king. If I only want to be a great general of the great Sui Dynasty, then these people will not have a great future. If I help the great Sui Dynasty recover the world in the future, I will make great contributions The servants are unwilling to get everything they deserve. "

"More than that!"

Zhang Chudao: "People are also uneasy because the Lord's flag is unknown. If the Lord is really fighting the rebellion for the sake of the great Sui Dynasty, how can the great Sui Dynasty not be afraid of the LORD with heavy soldiers no matter who inherits the throne in the future? At that time, we must find a way to recover the military power from the Lord, and we must suppress the Lord's Ministry. Just like Li Xiao, a great general in the reign of Taizong, it will be a great success Count Taizong's attention and trust again, but for the sake of the country and under the pressure of others, he will naturally start. Once that time comes... Where will we go? "

……

……

Fang Xie was silent for a long time.

Zhang Chu looked at Fang Xie's face and said apologetically: "In fact, I'm just making excuses for my fault. It's still my subordinates' fault, just because I don't trust the Lord. My subordinates know that it's their fault, such as Dugu Wenxiu, Cui Zhongzhen, Xia Hou Baichuan, and even San Jin Hou Wu. They won't do such a thing because they firmly believe that the Lord will achieve great success in the future Big. "

"They are all determined people."

Zhang Chu said, "didn't your Lord notice?"

Fang Xie raised his head and looked at him: "what?"

"Subordinates are not the first to commit such a thing in the black flag army. For example... Sun Kaidao."

Zhang Chu said, "Lord, what do we have in common?"

Without waiting for an answer, Zhang Chu said to himself: "What we have in common is that our ability is limited, but we are placed in a very important position just because we have been with the Lord for a long time. We are not San jinhou, Dugu Wenxiu or Cui Zhongzhen, because they are the most capable people under the Lord's command, and they will certainly be above us in the future. And we are not even as good as now..."

"Now when the Lord is fighting the world, everyone under him has his own responsibilities, which is very important. In the future, whether the LORD goes to sit in the world, or for the great Sui Dynasty to calm the world, after the war, the world will be peaceful. At that time, we should be better than now?"

He said with a wry smile: "The best place for people like us in the future is that the Lord will give us a dispensable official position, a title that is not high or low, and live on that salary... In that case, why don't I save some money for myself in advance? Whether the Lord will be an emperor or an assistant emperor in the future, we won't have a bright future. We simply take risks and save a lot for our future A silver pension. "

Fang Xie nodded: "you think so, I don't think enough."

Zhang Chu was suddenly angry: "Lord!"

He shouted: "Lord, you should have the heart of a hero! You should have the momentum that the world is me! I said these things. In fact, Lord, you don't need to listen, apologize, or even see your subordinates. Just pull us out and cut us down according to the military law of the black flag army! Lord, why should you feel guilty about the absurd excuse of a man who committed a capital crime? If you really have the world in mind, you should do it now Withdraw your subordinates and cut them with random knives! "

Fang Xie shook his head: "I didn't think well about some things. Thank you for reminding me. You said you didn't need to listen to your excuse. It's wrong... I want to listen to your heart because I want to prevent such things from happening. I can raise a knife to the enemy countless times, but I don't want to raise a knife to myself."

He stood up and paced slowly: "I'm not still considering how to commute your sentence after listening to you. I didn't think of it for several days. That's because I've actually made up my mind to kill you. If not, how can I not find a reason?"

"Military law..."

Fang Xie looked at Zhang Chu: "it's the military method. I missed it once before, and I won't be wrong again in the future. I should have killed sun Kaidao at the beginning, but I didn't kill him, which helped increase your greed. Now if I don't kill you, the military method will be in vain. And no one respects me as a leader."

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu nodded heavily.

"If there is only one sun Kaidao, I can blame greed for this. But how can I deceive myself without you and so many people? It's because of greed? Isn't it because I'm not good enough?"

Fang Xie said slowly, "so I want to find my shortcomings from you, and then deal with what will happen in the future. Where can I go back now?"

Zhang Chu was stunned and suddenly smiled: "if I had seen the Lord's eyes, I might not have today's capital crime... Lord, in your eyes just now, there is the momentum of the world's power to give up who I am."

"My sin today will be doomed sooner or later."

Zhang Chu said, "people are doing it, and heaven is watching. Even if the Lord doesn't check, I won't come to a good end sooner or later. In fact, these days, I often think that I have received money to protect corrupt officials, so I can't sleep at night. My subordinates don't want to be honest with the Lord. What's missing is courage."

"You are wrong..."

Fang Xie turned to look at him and said word by word: "people are doing, and heaven may not be watching. People are doing, and others are watching. What is heaven?"

Fang Xie's eyes flashed a light with deep meaning: "People can't rely on their own strength to maintain fairness, so they place their hope in the ethereal sky, thinking that gods can be impartial and selfless. In fact, they don't know that heaven is ruthless? Genius won't take care of human affairs, no matter how great grievances and injustice are. People are doing, and heaven is watching. It's just a kind of fantasy and a kind of hope of the people To... In other words... "

Fang Xie said, "Whoever makes the people see justice and fairness, who can decide for them... Who is heaven!"
