Chapter 133: Taking People as a Mirror

Xue Ru has been listening quietly, and constantly searching for the memories of future generations in his mind, but he can't remember such a person in history. According to Zhang Donglin's own account, his grandfather Xue Ru knew, but he didn't know much about his grandfather, but only knew a little. Since Zhang Donglin is his grandson, he should be very famous, but he doesn't know anything about Zhang Donglin's father, but he understands why.

Zhang Donglin's grandfather is Zhang Zhidong, one of the four pillars of the Qing Dynasty and Li Hongzhang, in some respects, Zhang Zhidong's reputation is not worse than Li Hongzhang, on the contrary, the good reputation is more prominent. Because he was the leader of the Westernization faction, Zhang Donglin's father was the youngest son, and he was a concubine, so he went to the United States. After the death of his grandfather and the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, he went with his father to England and later moved to the United States.

Zhang Donglin has been smart since he was a child, with excellent academic performance, which is the hope of the family, of course, I hope that he can be like his grandfather, and he also thinks that he is the new image of the Zhang family, and named him Zhang Donglin, which is the hope that can be imagined.

Even in a foreign country, Zhang Donglin received no less Chinese cultural education, and when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he said goodbye to his family and embarked on the road back to China. After arriving in China, Zhang Donglin began to investigate, hoping to show what he had learned and defend the country during the War of Resistance.

But he hated the corruption of the Kuomintang and hated the Red Revolution, and besides, Zhang Donglin's grandfather was a protector of the Qing Dynasty, although Zhang Donglin already knew that it was wrong, but he also rejected the Kuomintang in his heart. Therefore, by virtue of being an American, he traveled everywhere and observed and understood.

Just when he was gradually disappointed, he heard about the deeds of the snow fox, which aroused his great interest, and began to learn about this mysterious woman and the snow fox brigade. Zhang Donglin, who is also ambitious and idealistic, wants to be like Xue Ru, because he wants to understand Xue Ru and wants to kill the enemy to serve the country, he met Wu Yizhi through his father's friend, and also met Xue Yue, and wanted to go to take refuge and fight the war to kill the enemy.

Xue Yue, who is known as a tiger boy, values the iron-blooded spirit of the soldier more, and thinks Zhang Donglin's rhetoric is a scholar's opinion, and is dissatisfied with his remarks against the party-state, so he does not attach importance to him. The arrogant Zhang Donglin left Henan and went to northern Anhui to find Xue Ru, wanting to see what was so good about this strange woman that Xue Yue could be so respected.

Seeing Xue Ru pondering there in Chuxian County today, I understood where Xue Ru was embarrassed, not only did she want to know this girl, but she was also unconvinced, so she stepped forward to talk to Xue Ru to see how Xue Ru reacted. Xue Ru's performance made him even more unconvinced, and he had the intention of competing, and followed all the way, and when he got here, he was even more curious about Xue Ru's next step.

If he didn't tell his identity, Xue Ru obviously wouldn't let him know anything, and besides, Xue Ru's decisiveness in killing also made him admire. When he secretly saw Xue Ru's age for the first time, Zhang Donglin was shocked, he has been a prodigy since he was a child, a genius, and grew up in praise and praise. But Xue Ru is also a little too young, and she is a woman, which makes him want to compete.

In the end, he still failed, Xue Ru could calm down, Zhang Donglin couldn't, he couldn't help but tell Xue Ru his identity first. Xue Ru didn't ask, nor did she refute, listening to him. Because of his understanding of history, Xue Ru has his own judgment on everything, and the same is true for everyone. This Zhang Donglin is obviously talented, and he is very arrogant, such a person, some like those college students in later generations, have a belly of knowledge, but stay in theories and books, and their practical ability is not strong. However, I think of my status very high and don't want to deign to do low-level jobs, so it is difficult for college students to find jobs.

In this regard, Xue Ru is despised, the so-called eye master is low, she joined the army as soon as she graduated, just because she wanted to train herself, and because she liked military life. With the knowledge of the university, the character and will of a soldier, starting from a soldier, Xue Ru believes that he will not be so difficult to enter the society again.

Zhang Donglin in front of him is such a person, who grew up in the United States, has Western ideas in his head, but has traditional Chinese feudal thoughts, and is a contradiction in itself. The young man is smart and his family background is illustrious, which makes him both arrogant and humble, and it is also a contradiction, which must not be tolerated in this social era.

In fact, Xue Ru herself is not like this, she is from the 21st century, and she has a huge difference in thinking from this era, whether it is in terms of insight or knowledge, as well as personality, her thoughts are incompatible.

That is, they know that the national war of resistance against Japanese aggression is a game of chess, and it is difficult to do it alone, and a lonely tree cannot make a forest, but they are unwilling to cooperate with the Kuomintang and do not want to accept their command, that is, they know where the country is going in the end, but they are powerless to change the current situation, and can only evade some criteria of struggle.

Therefore, she is also conflicted and does a lot of behaviors that are difficult for others to understand. Wu Yuzhao, Lan Xunzhou, Xiao Yong, how could they know that Xue Ru is such a complex person, and the distance between Xue Ru and Xue Ru is thousands of miles, how can they make Xue Ru like them.

Zhang Donglin didn't understand Xue Ru, but Xue Ru easily understood him from Zhang Donglin's words, but she didn't understand herself yet. For arrogant people and people with low eyes, although it is not enough to say that they are ambitious and talented, they are not good feelings.

From the moment Zhang Donglin appeared, with intuition, Xue Ru could judge that he was not a Japanese spy, as long as he was a spy, he would not appear in this way. The casualness and self-righteousness on Zhang Donglin's body also made Xue Ru uncomfortable. What's more, his mind to be more considerate made Xue Ru a little angry. After all, when he was young, he had the idea of being competitive, and deliberately didn't say anything to see who could calm down. Of course, Xue Ru doesn't care, she can implement her own set step by step, and she doesn't have to care what Zhang Donglin wants to do.

But Zhang Donglin can't do it, he can't keep following like this, there must be a break, which is equivalent to losing in the hands of Xue Ru in the first confrontation. So much information was calculated by Xue Ru, not by Zhang Donglin himself.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xue Ru said: "Three questions, first, if you are just not convinced, in comparison, I don't think it is necessary to talk to Ben, now you can go." Second, if you really want to take refuge in Snow Fox, then put away your arrogance and devote yourself to serving Snow Fox to fight the war and kill the enemy. Third, if you want to show your talents, it tells you that you have chosen the wrong place. The Snow Fox is just a unit, a guerrilla brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, which can't give you high-ranking officials, and doesn't have any chance for you to dominate the situation, you should go to Chongqing and Wuhan to show it in front of Chairman Chiang. ”

Xue Ru's words were very direct and unkind, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Donglin, and then shocked him. Because his careful thinking was seen through by Xue Ru at a glance, for a person like him, of course, he couldn't hold his face, stood up and said: "I thought Miss Xue was different, but it seems that it is just so, Zhang said goodbye." ”

Xue Ru was unmoved, and said lightly: "Mr. Zhang, I am nothing different, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't think too highly of myself, so I have so many brothers in life and death, and I can fight side by side with them, because we are different." You just think too highly of yourself, you always see yourself as different from others, since you are so outstanding, I think you can only find someone who is different. Unfortunately, people who are different may not be able to accommodate you. ”

Zhang Donglin's heart shook, after all, he is a very intelligent person, these few words easily summarize the reason why he ran into walls everywhere, he thinks that Xue Ru is just a little jealous of his own mind, so he can't tolerate himself, such a character is nothing, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard Xue Ru's words.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xue Ru still admires Zhang Donglin very much, he can see that the corruption of the Kuomintang and the Chiang family are not for the country, but just for their one party and one surname, selfish psychology, which proves that he has a good mind, and at the same time can see that Japan will be defeated, which is not comparable to indiscriminate arrogance and self-confidence. was able to be covered by his arrogance, which reminded Xue Ru of a person, that is, Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms.

Wolong and phoenix chicks, the world is famous, but Zhuge Liang is famous all over the world, famous through the ages, Pang Tong is short-lived, and there is no impression, Zhuge Liang has become the ratio of the bright moon and fireflies, what is the reason? It's very simple, Zhuge Liang knows what modesty and inadequacy are, knows that he is introverted, and Pang Tong is too arrogant and arrogant, so that Luo Fengpo died first.

The evaluation of these historical figures, when Xue Ru was in school, the teacher had incisive comments, Zhuge Liang was able to be unfledged, and the world was divided into three points to convince Liu Bei, which is a symbol of talent, once appreciated by Liu Bei, he can put down his body, call himself the lord, and swear allegiance.

But Pang Tong can only show the level of the little official in Xinye, which surprises Zhang Fei, so as to reuse it, the two of them make a judgment, and the talent and intelligence are not of the same grade, Xue Ru understands this.

Therefore, when facing Zhang Lingfu, Wang Yaowu, Song Xilian, and Xue Yue, they didn't make them feel arrogant, and they didn't look down on these people because she was a traverser. How much is in awe and respects them, which is why she has won the support and appreciation of so many people, and proved her ability with her proud achievements.

Zhang Donglin may have talent, but he doesn't know this, so he can't tolerate anything, it seems that he disdains to follow these people, in fact, it is useless to follow, no one can accept such a person. It must be said that Zhang Donglin has become a good mirror for Xue Ru, allowing her to have an understanding and awakening of herself.

It was too arrogant to realize that he was separated from the national government and fighting alone on the front line, and it was not good for Snow Fox. Let Zhang Donglin do this again, Xue Ru understood it better, so he had this remark to Zhang Donglin.

Seeing Zhang Donglin standing there, his face became contemplative, knowing that he had some understanding, so he said: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't mean to hit you, and I didn't want to fight with you, so there was no need. You have the talent, like me, to organize an army and rise up to fight the war. If you don't have military talent, you can be an official in one place and benefit the people of one place. If you know that you can't do it alone and need to cooperate, then let go of your pride, admit that others have something beyond you, learn from each other's strengths, make contributions together, and do something for the country and the nation. It's not that you take the lead and let everyone revolve around you, then you are no different from those dictators. You are human, an ordinary person, and you are not God. The earth will turn without anyone, and without anyone, the war of resistance will be won. But if you leave everyone, you will achieve nothing, think about it. ”

Xue Ru closed her mouth and didn't say anything anymore, she was talking about Zhang Donglin, and she was not talking about herself, and finally glanced at Zhang Donglin, leaving him there alone in a daze, and went to Liu Yuanshan and them to study the problem. Because Xue Ru found out that Wei Ming and they were back.

Zhang Donglin: This is just an episode, and it can't cause any psychological fluctuations in Xue Ru. said so much because he used Zhang Donglin as a mirror to see some shortcomings in his body, so he told him. Can he understand, it is his own business, and it is nothing to Xue Ru.

After a while, she forgot about Zhang Donglin, and listened carefully to Wei Ming's report on the situation in Chao County, it turned out that the 13th Wing and the 47th Wing of the Japanese Army occupied Hanshan and Chao County respectively, and the soldiers attacked Hefei in two ways at this time, but the Tenth Army of Hefei resisted steadily, and the results of the battle needless to say were known, and it was only a matter of time before the devils occupied Hefei.

But Xue Ru didn't understand, why didn't the army in the Wuhan direction reinforce Hefei, and why Yang Sen, the 27th Army in Anqing, also watched the devils attack? The devils only have two wings, and if they are mobilized with heavy troops, they can be eliminated.

After studying for a while, Xue Ru realized that it was still that thought that was doing tricks. The military council has never understood that fighting with the devils is not about fighting for a place, but about destroying their living forces. However, the government has always had the same idea, that is, to block the attack of the devils, and they will defend wherever the national army attacks, and the only consideration can be the question of whether to defend it, not the question of elimination.

If we can win this war, the Pacific Theater of World War II, the European Theater, and the one that did not win the victory by the final attack, the national government will wait like this, no wonder it will follow the United States and pick up a victory.

Xue Ru can't express what kind of thinking this is, Chinese are always like this, so she has a kind of sadness in her heart, but she can't change this kind of thinking, not impossible, incapable, lack of enterprising spirit is the biggest sorrow.

With the current situation of Snow Fox, it is impossible to be the opponent of the two wings, with casualties and devils, Xue Ru will not do it, and the two Japanese armies are so close, which wing Xue Ru attacks will be surrounded by the Japanese counterattack.

And the snow fox can't just wait here, he must find a place to repair, see the opportunity to attack again, the snow fox's battle must be a sneak attack and a surprise attack, or dig a pit and set a trap to lure the devil to attack.

Seeing that it was already after midnight, Xue Ru said: "Gather the troops and move directly to the north, with a far-reaching goal." ”

This decision made Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen stunned, why is this? Liu Yuanshan asked puzzledly: "We don't care about Hefei anymore?" ”

Xue Ru smiled bitterly: "What's the matter?" We sent a telegram to Xu Yuanquan, but they have not replied so far, and the order of the military committee is that we cooperate with Hefei to fight, that is, Xu Yuanquan thinks that we are fighting with him, and the 199th Division in Hefei cannot cooperate with our attack. ”

Lai Changwen said: "Why Dingyuan? It's a devil's occupation area. ”

Xue Ru sneered: "The devil is attacking Xuzhou and Hefei, there is no Japanese army in Dingyuan, and the strength of the 13th Division is not much in Huainan, so I will add it from Dingyuan, and I can't withdraw to Fuyang, where the 21st Group Army is, enter the position of the First War Zone, and seek opportunities to destroy the enemy." ”
