Chapter 181: Be bold
The people and horses stopped and stopped, and the two sides exchanged polite greetings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday's Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the one who feels a lot of dirt buns when there are hundreds of people under him, and the changes that Zhang Yun has brought to him are more and more reflected, such as treating people and things, such as hanging a mask that is real enough to welcome people with a smile.
Guo Zixing's originally somewhat apprehensive mood quickly calmed down, all the troubles he had imagined along the way did not appear, and even the son-in-law in front of him did not even show the slightest displeasure, not even the eyes were not unusual.
Guo Zixing became more and more discouraged, and immediately felt that he was indeed valued, respected, and even put in a high position. This made the vain generalissimo Guo very happy and very happy. was so happy that he forgot how he wanted this son-in-law to die in the first place, forgot that he was forced to hand over dozens of people by the person who looked like a fairy and a devil, and forgot that he was forced to come to Zhu Yuanzhang by the four bastards in Haozhou City.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the change in his father-in-law's expression, and the worry that was originally slightly mentioned in his heart was also put down, and he could probably guess why his father-in-law came to him. Once again, he quietly gave Xu Da a secret order, so the 10,000 troops who had just completed the concealed combat preparations in the city quickly dispersed, and the atmosphere that had just become tense quickly returned to invisible, and everything returned to its daily state.
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer needs to worry about what kind of storm Guo Zixing's group of people can stir up at this moment, because he guessed the real reason why his old man came to him so embarrassed, and knew that his guess was inseparable from the correct answer. héiyaпgě
How could Guo Zixing, who was already not lenient, forget those things with him? Especially when Brother Zhang scared him so much later, this kind of "humiliation" will definitely not be forgotten. This down-and-out old man must have been forced to the limit by the other four in the city of Haozhou this time, and had to leave Haozhou in an almost pure way, otherwise how could he choose to join his son-in-law, who is not close but not far away?
Guo Zixing's group of men and horses were incomplete, and there were very few horses, and most of them were inferior horses. The soldiers looked tired and timid, their eyes full of wariness, and more hatred. Of course, it's not hatred for Zhu Yuanzhang, most of these soldiers have just heard of Zhu Yuanzhang's name at most. What they hated was the four generals who drove them out of Chuzhou, and even more hated that the generalissimo they were loyal to was actually driven out of Haozhou City like that.
What kind of generalissimo is this? Guo Zixing, the generalissimo, was easily overshadowed by the four generals, and was basically driven out of his city without making any effective resistance. Along the way, it is even more embarrassing than a deserter, even if the military order has to be listened to, it must be impossible for most people to be happy with this kind of marshal.
Guo Zixing has been suffering from similar questioning and even resentful eyes all the way, and even most of the time he is not secretly or avoiding him, and there have been more than ten times when he inadvertently looked, those soldiers with resentment in their hearts looked at him indifferently and expressed their feelings.
A dignified generalissimo, a person with a very high heart and a great love of vanity, was looked directly at by his subordinates, especially those at the bottom, with such eyes, Guo Zixing's depression can be imagined. In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang's courtesy and preferential treatment made the cold heart of Generalissimo Guo, who was so downtrodden that he couldn't even take his armor out of the city, quickly became hot, but he still retained the "pride" of the generalissimo who had recovered and strengthened after his heart was warm, so that Guo Zixing really couldn't say the word "thanks" in front of so many people.
The dinner is still the highest standard, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has invested enough, frequently toasts his father-in-law, and on the other hand, Ma Xiuying, who was specially taken by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, constantly prepared dishes for his father-in-law. Guo Zixing, who is both a father-in-law and a generalissimo, served him very satisfied, and more than a pound of rice wine was poured into his stomach between pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
Just after everyone had drunk three rounds of food and five flavors, Zhu Yuanzhang promised to bring Guo Zixing with all the equipment for the 10,000 horses brought by his old man with a little big tongue, and in addition, he also handed over the military power of his 30,000 soldiers to Guo Zixing, the "real" generalissimo, in public.
Even if Guo Zixing drank to a state of red face and dizziness, he inevitably felt a shock in his heart because of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and all the strength of the wine woke up.
That's a real 30,000 army! And it's an elite division trained by Zhu Yuanzhang! The concept of these 30,000 troops is completely different from the previous waste in Haozhou, and with these 30,000 troops in hand, Guo Zixing thought to himself that he would not say anything to fight back to Haozhou and regain his position. With these 30,000 troops like an arm, even if the damn Tartar is still surrounding Haozhou at this time, he can fight with him, and even win more with less!
But he, Guo Zixing, had pit this son-in-law before, and it was a pit that wanted to kill him to death. Why can this son-in-law, this man named Zhu Yuanzhang, be so generous? Can he be so ignorant of past suspicions? This son-in-law of his own is definitely not a fool, otherwise how could he have won consecutive battles and finally pulled out such a powerful team.
Looking at the person in front of him with the wine in his cup, Guo Zixing chewed the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's sincere words over and over again. But chewing and chewing didn't chew anything that might be unfavorable to him, so in the end, Guo Zixing's heart was filled with an emotion called "shame".
This is true tolerance and generosity. This is the most important virtue of being a leader that Guo Zixing has never had.
Shame doesn't mean that you have to try to have that kind of "virtue", but Guo Zixing, who is strong with wine, finally made himself really generous. He laughed and refused his son-in-law's great intention to hand over the military power, and even more clearly thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his reception and the promise of the 10,000 people under him who were fully equipped. not only showed his sincerity, but also gave Zhu Yuanzhang enough "face", so that the generals who followed him and Guo Zixing were dazzled, which was a lot of wins in one fell swoop.
Of course, Guo Zixing would not say it in front of everyone about the fact that he was actually driven out by four other bastards. He had already decided to tell his son-in-law, but it must have been when there were only the two of them, because apart from Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't want more people to know the truth about leaving Haozhou in embarrassment this time.
It is very generous and generous, and he is very bold, but in the end, he still has a bigger face than the sky! This is Guo Zixing's style of life, and it is also the biggest reason why he will never be like Zhu Yuanzhang.
