Chapter 133 [Turning the Tide, Standing Wood for Faith]
"No!" Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong responded in unison.
Zhou Yu bowed slightly, waved his hand and signaled the three of them to stay in the hall for the time being, and there was no need to leave in a hurry.
Immediately, Zhou Yu continued: "In addition to the Golden Bull Road, there is also a shortcut to the road from Hanzhong to Yizhou, which is the 'Micang Road'. This road starts from the south of Nanzheng City, climbs over the big and small Ba Mountain, crosses the Micang Mountain and enters the territory of the Nanjiang River in Shudi, crosses the Nanjiang River for 300 miles and then crosses into Bazhong, and then goes south along the Ba River and Qu River, you can reach Jiangzhou, which is the 'Micang Road' of water and land blending. The road is 500 miles long, the road is rugged and narrow, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the cliffs are lined up, only allowing one person and one rider to walk together, and the marching speed is extremely slow. Li Xian, Hu Che'er, and Zhang Fei listen to orders! β
In the sudden shouting order, Li Xian and Hu Che'er heard the sound and came out of the queue, and said in unison: "The last general, let the governor dispatch!" "Only Zhang Fei is missing.
Where did Zhang Fei go?
Could it be that he wasn't in the lobby? If he didn't attend the lobby meeting, why would Zhou Yu call out his name?
It is obvious that Zhang Fei is in the hall at the moment, and Zhou Yu knows very well that he is here, so he will call his name in public. What is even more obvious is that Zhang Fei did not buy the coach Zhou Yu, or he did not take Zhou Yu in his eyes at all, so he turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye to Zhou Yu's actions in court.
Suddenly, more than 100 civil and military officers in the hall turned their heads to look at Zhang Fei in astonishment, and then finally locked on the target, and focused their eyes on Zhang Fei in unison.
But I saw that near the threshold of the lobby, there was a dragon man dressed in brocade and with a stubble on his face sitting at this moment. He was born with a pair of vicious and hideous thick tiger eyebrows, under which were a pair of bloodthirsty leopard eyes with most of the sphere bulging out of the eye sockets, and the eyebrows and eyes revealed a breathtaking ferocity under the slight blink of the eyebrows. It's terrifying to look at. In addition to these extremely vicious eyes, I saw that his body was strong, his shoulders were broad, his arms were as thick and powerful as a dragon, his muscles were as thick as a hill with ravines and ravines, and his whole body was as strong as an iron tower. Sitting upright like a mountain, standing upright like a cloud pine.
Such a majestic and mighty body, with tiger eyebrows and leopard eyes. The end is not angry but mighty, majestic, a good tiger and wolf warrior!
However, such a mighty and fierce general has no armor. Dressed in brocade robes. The sitting posture is also very indecent. I saw him sitting cross-legged rather casually, completely different and incompatible with the general sitting beside him. Such a free and casual person who is different from the others can be called an outlier among the more than 70 generals under the hall, and he really does not look like a general who belongs to the Xiliang Army.
This maverick and heart-oriented man is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who were ordered to come to Li Xian's tent to listen to the dispatch.
In fact, he is indeed not a general in the army who belongs to the Xiliang Army. Rather, an idle "idler", at least he himself thinks so. Speaking from the heart. He never thought that he belonged to the Xiliang general sequence, nor did he really serve Li Li, let alone a "thug" or "eagle dog" who could be called by others and sent at will.
Because of this, after hearing Zhou Yu call his name, Zhang Fei still stood still, without blinking his eyelids, still caring about drinking, eating meat, doing his own thing, as if everyone was nothing. And the wine and meat on the table in front of him were also brought by himself, and the rest of the people in the hall came to the hall after eating. He is the only one who treats such an important and strict pre-departure meeting as a "banquet" that belongs to him alone, and if no one else is around, he eats and drinks at the same time, so he is not at ease!
"Where is Zhang Fei?" When everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Zhang Fei, who was drinking in a big bowl and eating meat, Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the upper steps of the hall, shouted angrily again, a pair of eyes looked at Zhang Fei like a sharp sword, and the pupils flashed with a sharp cold light.
Obviously, Zhou Yu had already moved his liver fire at this moment, so that he suddenly killed in a rage, and suddenly had a murderous intention towards Zhang Fei. And this is also the reason why those who have been in charge since ancient times have to kill and sacrifice the flag when they leave the army, because the commanders need to establish military prestige, not only to boost the morale of the army, but also to deter the soldiers of the whole army, so as to facilitate the command of the army in the future.
It is obvious that all the generals present in the hall are all fierce generals who have followed Li Li for many years, and they are all confidants and favorite generals who have won Li Li's trust or generals who have repeatedly made military exploits. In this way, Zhou Yu could not use any of them to sacrifice his flag, so as not to offend the anger of the public, and the gains outweighed the losses.
However, the act of standing up before leaving the school is imperative and indispensable. Otherwise, it will not be possible for the generals to deeply appreciate the supreme majesty of Zhou Yu in charge of the army, and naturally they will not be able to win the trust of the whole army, which will directly affect his control and credibility of the entire army. This is a taboo for commanders and generals since ancient times, and it is also an intuitive interpretation of Ci Bu in charge of the army.
Zhou Yu wanted to choose a general who would stand up for himself among the generals in the hall, that is, the "chicken" in the monkey to kill chickens and set an example, so as to achieve the purpose of "standing wood for faith". (Standing wood is a letter, during the Qin Xiaogong period, Shang Ying took standing wood as a letter to establish prestige and implement new laws.) οΌ
However, looking at the generals in the hall, most of the generals are not suitable, and some of the generals in the hall are still above him, and they are only temporarily obeying him. As a result, the only "soft persimmon" among the people in the hall is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who are "higher than others". And Zhou Yu happened to know Zhang Fei's current situation very well, and was very aware of his special status and delicate situation in the army, so he decided to take him to power.
So Zhou Yu gave an order to Zhang Fei on the spot, and before he opened his mouth, he was sure that he would turn a deaf ear and disobey in public, which was exactly what Zhou Yu wanted. This is because Liwei also needs an excuse that is convincing enough to convince everyone, and only in this way can the desired effect be achieved.
As Zhou Yu expected, Zhang Fei obviously heard his general order, but he still went his own way and turned a deaf ear. Seeing this, Zhou Yu pretended to be furious and drank Zhang Fei again. This move is purely to pave the way for his next Liwei, after all, everyone knows that "everything can be repeated, but it cannot be repeated"; After two times, you can stand up in public.
Of course, everyone in this qiΔ hall didn't know about it, they only saw Zhang Fei protesting in court, but they didn't think that Zhou Yu's move had another deep meaning. I have to mention that the reason why Zhou Yu did this was also a last resort. After all, he was the commander in chief of the three armies who had recently lost a battle, and he was demoted because of this, so when he was once again in charge of the army, he had to re-establish his prestige, hoping that this battle would be a success, a shame, and a name for himself.
In the lobby, Zhou Yu's loud shouts rumbled in the hall, stirring around the beams, causing everyone in the hall to change their complexion when they heard it, and they all looked at Zhang Fei with scrutinizing eyes. At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was in full view of everyone, still did not change his face and did not beat his heart, he still drank and enjoyed himself, ignoring Zhou Yu's loud cheers and ignoring everyone's attention.
Seeing Zhang Fei so arrogant, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others couldn't help frowning slightly, their faces were gloomy, and their eyes looking at Zhang Fei were extremely unkind. Obviously, Zhang Fei's move annoyed them and caused public anger, so that they were quite dissatisfied with Zhang Fei, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were full of righteous indignation.
"Bang! Licentious! There was a loud bang, but when he saw Zhou Yu shooting the case, he said sharply with an angry face: "Dare to Zhang Fei, dare to openly disobey orders, and despise me!" Where is the armor in front of the tent, take down such fanatics with me, behead the sacrificial flag, and strengthen the prestige of my army! β
"Huh?" With Zhou Yu's order, the soldiers standing on both sides of the hall and in front of the hall moved when they heard the sound, and quickly formed an encirclement of Zhang Fei, and more than ten cold and shining spears appeared in front of Zhang Fei's eyes. At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was originally sitting as steady as a rock, raised his eyebrows, glared angrily, and got up in a cold snort, and shouted angrily: "If you dare to take a step forward, a certain family will let you wait for your head to be in a different place, and blood will be splashed on the spot!" β
"Oooo In Zhang Fei's sudden angry shout, more than a dozen armor soldiers who had already approached him were scared back a few steps by him, and they all surrounded Zhang Fei with fear, but they didn't dare to step forward.
After seeing this scene, Zhou Yu was not surprised at all, as if he expected it. Zhang Fei's courage has long been a well-known fact in the world, ten years ago he was already recognized by the world as a hero, with the courage of ten thousand people, can be called a rare battlefield warrior in the world. It is precisely because of his bravery that he won Li Li's appreciation and was able to live to this day, otherwise he would have been dead for a long time.
However, at this moment, if Zhang Fei is brave and brave, he can be exempted from responsibility, but he is too self-righteous and naΓ―ve. The Xiliang Army lacks everything, but there is no shortage of brave and fierce generals, among which there are not a few generals whose martial arts are comparable to Zhang Fei, and there is even no shortage of peak generals whose martial arts are above him.
At present, there are four people in the lobby who can fight Zhang Fei, and their combat power is not inferior to him, three of them are Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, who were named "Five Tiger Generals" by Li Li, and the other is Li Li's brother Li Xian. In addition, Hu Che'er, the lower general of Li Xian's account, is also fierce and abnormal, even if he is not Zhang Fei's opponent, he can fight with Zhang Fei for at least twenty or thirty rounds; If he helped Li Xian from the side, the two would definitely be able to kill Zhang Fei on the spot. After all, Zhang Fei has no armor, no weapons, and no mounts at the moment, so he is at an absolute disadvantage; Once the generals in the hall are angered, the result will inevitably be a different body, and there is no reason to survive.
"Where are the generals, take down Zhang Fei's fanatics with me, whether they live or die!" When Zhang Fei raised his head and glared at Zhou Yu after shouting back from the group of armor soldiers, he immediately ushered in Zhou Yu's thunderous rage, and Huo Ran issued an order to kill.
Zhang Fei's voice changed when he heard this, and he shouted: "Zhou Yu'er, you deceive me too much!" Even if I die today, I swear not to break with you! Come, come up if you are not afraid of death! β
"Wait! Yide must not be rude, and he will not retreat from me! β
Just as Zhang Fei threw off his arms and tried to fight to the death, when Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong got up to take the weapons handed over by the soldiers behind them, at the moment when the two sides were tense, Li Xian, who had always been silent, suddenly stopped, and then stood up and walked in front of Zhang Fei without hurry.
