Chapter 24: The Master
The old man in gray asked a rhetorical question, and he had to answer carefully.
As for the identity of this gray-clothed old man, in fact, Yu Poison is completely uncertain. Yu Yu himself only knew that this old man was still the person of the previous 'big handsome', and after the death of the last big handsome, he 'entrusted' the old man to take care of him, and asked him to respect the old man and pay attention to the old man's opinion in important decisions. Yu Poison has a lot of respect for the previous marshal, so he must not listen to his words, and always adheres to this entrustment, and has always regarded the old man as the venerable and called him a master. At that time, the previous marshal asked him to respect the old man, but he didn't tell him why he should respect him, and he didn't even tell him the identity of the old man, just let him do everything according to his words. Although Yu Poison had doubts about the identity of the old man, he was also very curious, and sent people several times to find out his details, but every time it was in vain. With his power, he still can't figure it out, which invisibly increases the mystery of the old man, and later he really saw some of the old man's methods, so he naturally became more and more 'respectful' for the old man, and he didn't even dare to disobey his words.
Invisibly, the old man was faintly above his head, and gradually formed an opinion, which even Yu Poison himself did not know. He only knows that if he respects the elderly, he will reap the benefits; And if you disobey, you are afraid that you will get the wrath of the old man. Therefore, when the old man begged for Huang Shang'er, he did not dare to disobey a word, and immediately offered it. As for the old man's words, he listened to them perfectly, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and he never thought that there would be anything wrong with the old man's words. Just a moment ago, the old man scolded him in front of everyone, and he even felt that this was the right thing, and he didn't complain at all. But now, when the old man proposed to merge his men and horses into Zhang Yan's department, and Zhang Yan would be the new marshal of Montenegro, and he would be the deputy marshal, the unhappiness in his heart immediately rose.
He can give face to the old man and can respect the old man's words, however, when it comes to his overall interests in Montenegro, he certainly has an idea again. His inheritance is good from the previous commander, but when he took over, his department was only a thousand, and his influence was far less than now, if it wasn't for his efforts bit by bit, how could he have today's 'Black Mountain' in his hands? Today's Montenegro, although the number of people is only thousands, but in the heyday there are tens of thousands, and now it still maintains a good cooperative relationship with the Southern Xiongnu, and now there is also a force to intervene in Jizhou, do you say that he worked hard to build the 'Montenegro' foundation, before he has done an earth-shattering career, he is willing to give it away? Of course, Yu Poison is unwilling!
Of course, in the face of the old man's questioning voice, he felt a chill in his heart, as if he only needed to say a word today, but he was afraid that he would not want to get out of this big tent. His mind was fighting fiercely, and he didn't seem to hear the old man's rhetorical question. Of course, if he doesn't express his position today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away with vague words, but I'm afraid that the old man won't let him go. The awe of the old man in his heart was originally for him to compromise, and everything was arranged by the old man. However, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, he gritted his teeth after some weighing, and actually said no to the old man, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
"I have a different opinion on this matter from you, Master, my Montenegrin inheritance is inherited from the previous marshal, and today it is impossible to easily say that it is in my hands and it is in my hands. Therefore, I cannot agree with your proposal, Master. ”
I don't know where this courage came from, Yu Poison actually said what he wanted to say in his heart. The old man, on the other hand, still maintained a posture of facing the wall, and did not feel any surprise when he heard what he said, as if he had already guessed that he would say this. When he finished speaking, he smiled quietly: "You can still remember that your foundation is inherited from the previous commander, and this is enough to see that you are not incorrigibly confused." Can you think about this clearly, don't you think about what the previous marshal said before he left? Listen to me on matters of great matter. Why, your wings have grown stiff, and now you can openly flout the last words left by the previous commander? ”
"No!" Yu Poison hurriedly said: "It is precisely because I think of the previous marshal that I can't be so confused." Master, since you understand that my inheritance is inherited from the previous commander, how can I be cut off because of me today, so that what face will I face underground in a hundred years? The old man smiled, shook his head and said: "I asked you to merge the people of the department with Zhang Yan, although you are the deputy handsome, the people are still 'handsome', but what does this mean?" Have your men been swallowed up? Not necessarily, right? At that time, wouldn't it be good for the two families to merge into one and twist the forces into a rope and unite with the outside world? And if you and Montenegro can't get along, what do outsiders think? At that time, Zhang Yan will fight here because you don't obey, can you beat him? He has millions of soldiers and horses in his hands, what are you going to fight? If he loses ugly at that time, and is forcibly absorbed by him when he turns around, it is better to take advantage of the current useful body and immediately seek cooperation with him to strive for the greatest interests for himself. Moreover, since ancient times, those who have known the times are Junjie, haven't you understood this point in Yu Poison? If you don't agree, do you have to fight with him and fight him to the point that you are willing to submit to him? ”
Once Yu Poison was determined to keep the inheritance in his hands, he couldn't turn a tendon, and no matter what the old man said at this time, he just wouldn't listen. As soon as he heard the old man's words, he hurriedly said: "The battle has not been fought, what is the matter of victory or defeat, master, why do you want to grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige?" Moreover, although our side suffers a lot from fighting with him because of the lack of men, it may not necessarily lose. First, we are cooperating with the Southern Huns, once I have trouble here, can the Southern Huns ignore it? Besides, I'm in trouble, can you see death and not save me, master? ”
The old man smiled: "You would think." First, the reason why the Southern Xiongnu cooperated with you was because there were still interests to be made in you. But you also have to think clearly, once you start a war with Zhang Yan, the Southern Huns will see that you are bound to be ten times weaker than him, do you think he will help you then? Offending Zhang Yan because of you, I don't think it's like this, right, can they be so stupid? As for the second one...... I'm just a bad old man, and you think too highly of me, what role can I play once you really fight? It's better for you to listen to me and seek cooperation with Zhang Yan as soon as possible, then everything will be fine, otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences. ”
Yu Poison was slightly stunned, the old man's words were not unreasonable. There are two trump cards that he can rely on in his hands now, one is the Southern Hun Yufuluo, and the other is the old man in front of him. can listen to the meaning of the old man's words, once he starts a war with Zhang Yan, the old man will not help him, and the old man also said that the reason why the Southern Huns cooperated with him was to 'seek advantages and avoid disadvantages', and it was impossible to be sincere to him, but I was afraid that when the time came, it would not be the same thing. Besides, Yu Fuluo was originally among the invitees to today's banquet, but why didn't he come due to illness in the end? Thinking that this 'due to illness' is an excuse, the reason why he really didn't come is because he knows that he and Zhang Yan will also have a competition at the table, and when the two of them argue, which one will he help? is as cunning as Yu Fuluo, and immediately hid the matter 'due to illness', in order not to choose to stand aside too early. In this way, the old man is right.
Although Yu Poison could understand these two points, and he couldn't help but be disheartened because of the uncertainty of these two points, he also told himself in his heart that no matter what, he would never compromise in front of Zhang Yan, because he was still stubborn, and he was unwilling to listen to the old man's opinion no matter what he said. The old man was still unable to move from the poison, and his heart was really unhappy, because the anger affected his body, so that his body seemed to be constantly trembling, and he seemed very excited.
"It seems that you are not going to listen to me?" This sentence came out of the old man's mouth very indifferently, and he was also very unconfident, but Yu Poison never dared to doubt his strength. In the face of the old man's questioning, Yu Poison's heart also shook violently, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Master, please ...... this matter" He was about to say that he should not ask about this matter, he would deal with it. However, he suddenly saw that the old man's body moved, and he had already turned his face, and he also stopped.
At the same time, the old man's voice came into his ears: "However, for the sake of my great cause of Huangtian, if you insist on refusing, I have no choice but to punish you on behalf of the sky!" When he said this, Yu Poison had already instinctively raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the old man for a moment. Old man, as he spoke, one hand reached out and rubbed it gently. Playing with dough. In a few moments, the dough wrinkled from behind the ear, and was gently lifted, and where it was lifted, another piece of fresh flesh was revealed, and soon an old and different face appeared.
He felt very unfamiliar with this face, but at the same time he couldn't help but be unfamiliar. As the marshal of Montenegro, it is impossible for him not to know some of the history of Montenegro, they themselves inherited from the Yellow Turban Zhangjiao, and although the great sages and good teachers died, their portraits are all over Montenegro and are often enshrined. Yu Poison, as a handsome, is often in contact, so it is impossible for him not to know about some people. And the man in front of him ......
Yu Poison's body trembled, and suddenly fell to the ground softly, trembling uncontrollably, and nagging: "Master don't be angry with me, master don't be angry with me, I am willing to obey the master's arrangement, promise to cooperate with Zhang Yan's department, please don't be angry with me!" ”
