Chapter 110: Outliers
After hearing Huaxing's words, Zhang Liaoxian was slightly stunned, but soon said:
"IāI'm not saying they shouldn't be rewarded. It's just that the thought that the commander didn't have an award, but instead gave it to the people below, felt a little unfair in his heart. However, listening to what the master said, it seems to make sense. I did neglect the soldiers a little bit before...... Well, about the matter of the commander and the soldier, I have to think about it carefully. ā
Through a dialogue, Zhang Liao can not only see his own problems, but also be willing to actively make adjustments.
This kind of self-reflection ability is really valuable!
After hearing this, even Hua Xing, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but nodded.
"By the way, master, I have one last question...... Don't bother me! ā
I have been asking all night, and when I heard that Zhang Liao still had questions, Huaxing almost fell off the stool.
I used to say that he was "100,000 whys", but now it feels a little less!
For this reason, a word quickly popped up in Huaxing's mind and decided to give it to the other party now:
"General Zhang, you are really a veritable 'problem general'! Ay? On weekdays, when General Lu is around, are you so easy to ask? ā
"Hey, that's not true!" Zhang Liao scratched his head with embarrassment and said:
"I'm very familiar with General Lu's style of acting, so there's nothing to ask. Unlike you, Master, you will always do some incomprehensible moves. For example, this time, I heard from the soldiers that you asked them to bring back the corpses of the dead? ā
"Well, that's the thing." Hua Xing nodded.
"Why?"
"Why...... Alas! After a light sigh, he heard Hua Xing say slowly: "Since they are all comrades-in-arms, how can they be left in a foreign land?" ā
"But they're all dead? And just ordinary soldiers...... There's no need for you to do that! ā
Like Duan Hongguang, Zhang Liao, who was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had long been accustomed to disposing of the corpses of soldiers on the spot.
So after learning about Huaxing's "new regulations", he was quite confused and didn't know what the significance of Huaxing's move was.
In Qiankun Mountain before, Huaxing had heard similar remarks and felt very uncomfortable.
However, due to the difference in identity, Huaxing did not care about those veterans, and only expressed his attitude with a military order.
And today, Zhang Liao not only mentioned this matter, but also made the same argument as those veterans, and Huaxing argued with him on the spot:
"Yes! They were dead, and they were ordinary soldiers. But what happened to the common soldier? Aren't they people? Didn't they also be raised by their parents? Don't they have relatives in their families who are looking forward to their safe return? General Zhang, why can't we treat everyone equally? ā
To be honest, in Zhang Liao's opinion, every word Huaxing said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute a word.
But it is not easy to get him to accept this "new" point of view.
Because since he was a child, the environment in which he lived was like this. Whoever led the troops out would dispose of the corpses in this way.
Therefore, in Zhang Liao's view, although Huaxing's move is reasonable, it is still an unacceptable "outlier".
The master's words are reasonable, and Wen Yuan admires them. But to do so...... Wouldn't it be too cumbersome? Besides, no monarch in the world would ask for such a request, so ......"
But this time, without waiting for Zhang Liao to finish speaking, Hua Xing interrupted the other party sharply:
"General Zhang, everyone does it, it doesn't mean it's right; Just because people don't do it doesn't mean it's wrong! Right and wrong, it should be your heart, not the norms of others! In this matter, I don't care if others do it or not, and no matter what others say, I Huaxing will stick to it. So...... You don't need to say more! ā
After speaking, Hua Xing drank all the wine in the cup, got up and said goodbye, and left the noodle restaurant quickly.
And Zhang Liao, who was sitting alone at the table, kept his head down and whispered what Hua Xing had just said after Hua Xing left.
After repeating it seven or eight times, he nodded in understanding.
raised his head and looked at the direction in which Hua Xing left, and a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes.
ā¦ā¦
Early this morning, seeing that the weather was good, Lu Pu put his homemade frying oven in the courtyard, planning to cook the steak he bought back yesterday.
But as soon as the fire was lit, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and it was Yang William, who was wearing the uniform of the Lu Army.
"Do you have special abilities? How do I show up as soon as I make a steak? ā
As soon as he heard that he had caught up with "Steak Day" again, William Yang immediately showed an expectant smile.
After turning around and locking the door, he immediately brought a small stool, like a child waiting for candy in a kindergarten, and sat honestly on the opposite side of the frying oven.
"How's Huaxing doing? I heard that Lu Bu sent him on an expedition? Lu Pu asked, fiddling with the steaks on the stove.
"That's right! I went to Qiankun Mountain. But I've been back a few days ago......" William Yang replied, his eyes never left the frying oven:
"Because of the victory, he has now been promoted by Lu Bu to the rank of General of Sanpin Anton."
"Yes! In just over a month, he was promoted from a six-rank small protector to a third-grade general. I have to say, this guy is quite capable. Lu Pu couldn't help but sigh.
"Who's to say it isn't?" After echoing a sentence, William Yang continued to report: "Oh yes, I saw him go to Lu Mansion yesterday. ā
"The result?"
"The result...... The guards still wouldn't let him in. However, as far as I can see, if he had taken a tougher attitude, most of those soldiers would not have stopped him. William Yang analyzed.
After hearing this, he saw Lu Pu twist his eyebrows and ponder:
"Then according to your opinion, it shouldn't be long before he is going to do it?"
"Almost! Now his prestige in the Lu Army is high enough. Even that Zhang Liao followed his ass when he had nothing to do, like a little follower. ā
"Well, that's good! It seems that the mission is over, and it seems that it is just around the corner......" After nodding slightly, Lu Pu suddenly remembered something again, and said with a cautious face:
"You just said that it was the Lu Mansion that you saw Huaxing go to with your own eyes?"
"That's right!"
"Did he see you, then?"
"Not really! I was on patrol at the time, and even if I did, he wouldn't have been impressed. ā
"Oh! That's right. ā
Although relieved, Lu Pu still did not forget to advise:
"But in the future, you still try not to come into contact with him directly, so as not to be remembered by him. Eh, this steak is ready, you can eat it first. ā
As he spoke, Lu Pu sandwiched the sizzling steak on the stove into William's plate. But just as he was about to put his mouth down, he heard Lu Pu ask again:
"By the way, is there any news from the man in black?"
Hearing Lu Pu ask about this, William Yang hurriedly put down his chopsticks:
"Not yet! Regardless of whether it is in Lu Bu's army or other forces, there is no news of the man in black. ā
"Humph! It's enough to hide! After a cold snort, I heard Lu Pu say with a little contempt:
"Good! I'd like to see how long you can hide! ā
