Chapter 134 [Turning the Tide, the Way to Survive]
Just when the two sides were tense, Li Xian, who had always been taciturn, suddenly shouted coldly: "It is equivalent to a public uproar in the lobby, what kind of system is it?" Yide must not be rude, quickly retreat with me! While speaking, he saw Li Xian standing up, waving his hand to wave away the armor soldiers who were surrounding Zhang Fei, and walked in front of Zhang Fei with a calm step.
As Li Xian approached step by step, Zhang Fei, who was originally angry, couldn't help but let go of his tight potted fist, and then involuntarily took a few steps back. Until he retreated to his seat, Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, and immediately stopped, lowered his head like a wooden stake and pestle there, and didn't dare to look up at Li Xian.
At the same time, the moment Li Xian opened his mouth and got up, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong stopped when they heard the sound, and they all handed over the weapons in their hands to the soldiers, and they stood motionless, staring at Zhang Fei with cold eyes, watching his every move. If Zhang Fei dared to make a move against Li Xian, then the moment he made his move, he would definitely usher in the joint siege of Zhao Yun and the three of them, and it was a hand-to-hand combat technique that would kill with one blow.
Seeing that Li Xian suddenly got up and stopped the fight in the hall, Zhou Yu, who was standing on the upper steps of the lobby, suddenly had his eyelids jumping slightly, and a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes. Immediately, he waved his hand lightly without a trace, signaling Lu Meng not to move, calm down for a while, and just retreat to his original position and wait for the changes.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby was very strange, unusually silent, so quiet that it could be heard when a pin dropped.
Everyone in the hall held their breath and silenced, focusing their eyes on the "general" Li Xian and Zhang Fei, who openly resisted Zhou Yu's orders, and paid close attention to their every move. See. I am very much looking forward to how this high-powered but hard-achieving "general" will deal with Zhang Fei, and how Zhang Fei will deal with it, and whether he will still treat Zhou Yu as he did just now. Dare to ignore the transcendent existence of General Li Xian.
Indeed, in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the Western Liang Army and even in the entire prefectures and counties under Li Li's rule, Li Xian was a powerful and transcendent being. In the early years, when Li Li had no children, Xiliang Wenwu called Li Xian a "young general"; In recent years, with the birth of many of Li Li's heirs, Li Xian has been honored as the "General".
But. No matter how the title changes, Li Xian has never changed, and still follows Li Li's rising power and rising tides. His status has always been second only to Li Li, and he is firmly at the top of all generals.
It is worth noting that since Li Li pacified Xiliang, his younger brother Li Xian has no outstanding achievements. Always stay behind Xiliang. Peace and tranquility. Over the years, Li Xian has neither made serious mistakes nor made many military achievements, he is plain and ordinary, and has gradually faded out of people's sight, so that many people have left him behind and directly ignored his existence.
The only conspicuous thing is that whenever Li Li's status is promoted. Li Xian will be promoted as his status changes. So much so, in just a few years. Li Xian is already the general of the southern expedition of the third duke, and the title has also reached the liehou, and he is firmly in the second seat under Li Li's rule, and he is the "general" of Xiliang.
To this day, few people still remember that General Li Xian was also a battle-hardened brave general, who had charged for his brother Li Li countless times and sat in the rear for Li Li countless times. Even, many Xiliang generals nowadays don't know that Li Xian's martial arts qualifications are still above his brother Li Li, and the age of the weak crown is on par with Li Li's martial arts, and he is one of the most effective generals under Li Li's account.
However, it didn't matter if most of the generals didn't know this, because they just needed to know that Li Xian was Li Li's only sibling in this world. However, the first batch of generals in the Xiliang Army knew that Li Xian was powerful, and knew more clearly that Li Xian was not a person who was lazy by nature, nor was he a mediocre person who was greedy for pleasure.
Over the years, Li Xian has never slackened his martial arts, never lost his mind with playthings, and is not a debaucher who indulges in wine and cannot extricate himself as most people imagine. On the contrary, after all these years of tempering and accumulation, Li Xian has long been among the top generals, with a strong combat power second only to his brother Li Li, and he is really a buried battlefield general.
?????? In the hall, but seeing Li Xian slowly walking in front of Zhang Fei, looking at him calmly, after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "Yide followed the army for the first time, maybe he was a little uncomfortable, and the occasional faux pas were also excusable. However, the general must obey the commander's orders and wait for the dispatch. I guess Yide doesn't know this, right? β
After Zhang Fei heard this, Huo Ran looked up at Li Xian, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but saw that Li Xian's face changed sharply, his expression was gloomy, his eyes were slightly squinted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Zhang Fei's originally open mouth suddenly closed, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back alive, and then lowered his head again, his face was red, but he didn't dare to argue with Li Xian in public.
Seeing Zhang Fei bow his head again, the gloomy look on Li Xian's face eased slightly, his eyes became calm, and he said in a low voice: "It's good for Yide to know his mistakes, my brother once said, 'Who can make no mistakes in the world, and knowing mistakes can improve greatly'." Since he is wrong, Yide needs to admit his mistake to the governor, which is the attitude of knowing his mistake and changing it. Does Yide think so? β
"Ugh!" Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Li Xian in the twilight, and said with a surprised expression: "The general asked a certain person to ask for punishment?" Why should you ask for sin? β
Li Xian frowned when he heard this, and reprimanded him undoubtedly: "Isn't it wrong to disobey military orders in public and despise the governor?" As a general, ignoring military discipline and eating and drinking in the hall of the council, disheveled, and free and loose, isn't this wrong and should not be punished? β
In the merciless angry reprimand, Li Xian paused, and then said: "I read that you have just come to the general's account, you don't know military discipline, and you are also a first-time offender, and this general can save you from death." However, if you refuse to admit your mistake, then you are openly disobeying the order and despising the general, so that the two crimes will be punished together, and the crime will not be forgiven! General Ben advises you that although my brother is quite serious to you, he will never allow you to wantonly trample on military discipline and act recklessly. It's because you immediately admit your mistake to the governor at this moment and ask for sin, otherwise it will be a dead end, and no one can save you! β
Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows coldly, Huo Ran raised his head and glared at Li Xian, his eyes were cold and firm and he said angrily: "If you want to kill you, why bother making noise, how can a certain Zhang Fei be a person who is afraid of death!" β
Seeing that Zhang Fei was an out-and-out "stunned green", a typical guy who eats soft and not hard, Li Xian was unmoved, did not give in at all, and said in a deep voice: "You Zhang Yide is indeed not a person who is afraid of death, this is not only me, even my brother knows that you are a tough guy, iron-clad." That's why you're alive today, otherwise you'd have been dead for a long time. However, if you insist on refusing to admit your mistake today, General Ben will never condone you again, and you will definitely be left in a different place, and there will be no corpse!
In addition, you must not forget that your Zhang Fei's life is not your own, if you die due to disobedience, then the clansmen and family members in your house will also be affected by you, and all the disasters will be affected, and no one will be spared. In this regard, you must know better than me that the reason why they have survived until now is because you served in the army; Otherwise, how could they be able to sit in the prince's mansion, have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy glory and wealth for two years?
There is never a good thing in this world that is not earned without hard work, if you want to have no worries about food and clothing, you must pay something. Otherwise, how qualified are your family members to be clothed and fed, and who are you to sit in the lobby? Li Xian's words did not leave any emotion, and nakedly stated Zhang Fei's real situation, although the words were extremely unpleasant, they were truthful and straightforward, and there was no half-falsehood.
In fact, as Li Xian said, since Zhang Fei was secretly escorted to Chang'an, all his relatives and clansmen in Zhuo County were taken to Chang'an and lived with him. After that, as Xuzhou was included in Li Li's rule, Zhang Fei's family who was detained in Xuzhou was also sent to Chang'an to reunite their families.
At the same time, Li Li arranged a relatively quiet mansion for Zhang Fei, which, according to its architectural scale and luxurious decoration, should be a luxurious mansion that only important ministers of the court who were in the position of the three princes and nine kings were qualified to live in. Nowadays, there are more than 100 people living in Zhang Fei's mansion, more than eighty percent of these people are Zhang Fei's clansmen, about one percent are his immediate family members, and the remaining one percent are neighbors who watched him grow up or friends who played with him from childhood to adulthood.
Because of this, in the two years after Zhang Fei was captured, although he was a prisoner, he was not imprisoned in a prison, but lived with his family and clansmen all day long. Although he was ordered not to leave the mansion, he was relatively free, and he was not restricted in the mansion, he could practice martial arts, paint, and play with his wife and concubine at will.
It is worth mentioning that this is not only the case for Zhang Fei, but also for Sun Quan, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were confined to Chang'an immediately after him. It's just that these people don't appreciate this, they are not satisfied with the status quo, they still have a grudge against Li Li, and they still want to be able to get out of the "cage" and escape one day. Among them, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are the most important, they think about escaping from Chang'an all day long, and they have the ability to escape from the mansion and get rid of the solitary life. However, they have a lot of scruples, if they leave, then the wives, children, families and clansmen who live in the mansion will be implicated, and the disaster will be full of trouble.
In addition, in their hearts, the living conditions of these people who are imprisoned are quite good, living in luxurious mansions, fine clothes and fine food, so that the family members and clansmen who live with them are very attached to this kind of life, and secretly grateful to Li Li, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are loyal. Faced with this situation, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Sun Quan became more and more worried, often borrowing wine to drown their sorrows, and they couldn't sleep at night.
In comparison, perhaps only Liu Bei, who survived the catastrophe, is quite satisfied with the current situation. Because after Li Li recovered Xuzhou, he also took all Liu Bei's family members to Chang'an, so that their family could reunite and live a carefree and peaceful life.
