Chapter 141: A General Fit for War (1st Update)
Xue Zha and Le Shen didn't expect to see a hussar general in the camp of Wu State, you must know that this rank is extremely high even in the Three Kingdoms.
This was started by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the history of the previous life, with Huo Quai's illness, the rank is the same as the general, the gold seal and the purple ribbon, and the same as the three dukes.
Maybe Xue Zha didn't know the general in front of him, but he had heard of Huo Quai's name, and the military rank was the same as that general, Rao was Xue Zha, and he couldn't help but look at him twice.
But Xue Zha and Le Xiang were also people who had seen big scenes after all, and although they were surprised by the hussar general in front of them, they also recovered quickly.
Zhang Yao was a hussar general in Wu State, and although he was instructed by his lord, he was still very reluctant to persuade people from the Holy Court to surrender.
For no other reason, he was unwilling to cease fighting, not only him, but even the soldiers under his command, no one was willing to cease.
Because they can't stop.
They all came up step by step from the garrison, except for fighting, they could only go back to farming, and although farming can solve the problem of food and clothing, it also depends on God's face and the mouth and nose of those who read.
But being a soldier is different, their lords and generals are very good to them, and although it is very dangerous, they have gained a lot of gains.
After every great battle, there are always many corpses lying on the battlefield, and those corpses are like treasure chests full of treasure to them.
Although most corpses have nothing on them, there are always people who like to hide their belongings on themselves.
When they meet such a person, the soldiers will be overjoyed, because from such a corpse, they can always find a large amount of wealth, not only worthy of their few months' money, but also lucky, and even enough to support their family.
If there is no war, for them there is only to go home and farm.
And Zhang Yao is different, he is not willing to live under others, he longs for himself to be the third duke, although he doesn't know much of his own words, but he is very good at fighting.
In Xue Zha's words, he is a person with a very military sense.
The level of education is low, but it is very suitable for war, and if you let such a person leave the battlefield, it is equivalent to locking the eagle in a cage, although it is still alive, but it will only slowly decay and die.
Xue Zhe cocked Erlang's legs again, and he glanced to the side, as if reminiscing and talking to himself.
"I'm actually from the mainland, it's the first time I've come to the sea, but the experience at sea is really rich, and I have a reason to stay at sea, so I need someone to help me, and this person must have the strength and ...... at the same time."
Xue Zhe suddenly turned his head to stare at Jack.
"And I want to get my acknowledgment. ”
Xue Zha paused after saying this, and then looked at Jack to see his reaction.
Although Xue Zha only said three sentences, the amount of information that these three sentences brought to Jack was huge.
Let's not talk about the first sentence Xue Zha's straightforward invitation to Jack to follow him, and then Xue Zha said his origin and purpose, the last sentence seems to be talking about the conditions for joining the gang, but the subtext is very obvious, how to get Xue Zha's recognition?
Captain Jack knew that he didn't have much bargaining chips at this time, and since the person in front of him had told him where he came from, he had already told himself what he lacked, and what he could give him.
Captain Jack only then realized that the man in front of him was also a more difficult opponent.
It seems that he has lifted all his hole cards at once, but because of this, he is not sure what the other party wants.
Two people negotiate, one of them directly puts what he lacks and what he wants on the table, and the other person dares to believe it?
The so-called attack on the enemy is like this, directly putting what you want on the table, but it is more difficult to make up your mind than to hide it.
The more you want to hide, the easier it is for people to care, and the more casual and indifferent things are, the less easy it is for people to find out.
Xue Zhe had used psychological tactics to force Jack to leave the island, and he was captured.
This time, he used the psychological tactic again, and it worked wonders again.
Captain Jack was stumped by Xue Zhe's hand, he didn't think that he had answered incorrectly, Xue Zha would not retract what he had just said.
Xue Zhe seemed happy to see Captain Jack's embarrassed expression, and he smiled slightly.
"Think about it carefully, but don't talk nonsense, I don't have a second chance. ”
Xue Zha's words directly confirmed Captain Jack's inner guess.
This time, Captain Jack is even more entangled, although he is an opportunist, he believes that luck is far more than his own.
That's why Xue Zha's use of psychological tactics against him will be tried repeatedly.
Xue Zhe did not lose patience with Captain Jack's silence, but was looking forward to what kind of answer he would make.
"Don't worry, think about it, if you think it's too difficult to answer that question, then I'll give you a simpler one. ”
Xue Zhe changed his leg and cocked his body forward, while Captain Jack subconsciously propped up his ears in his direction.
"Well, then tell me what you can give me, and tell me what I need. ”
Xue Zha's tone was flat, but in Captain Jack's ears, he almost couldn't help scolding his mother.
Is this question worse than the one just now? How did the good one suddenly become two?
But Captain Jack is now a fish on the chopping board, and can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no way, his own life is in the hands of the other party.
Captain Jack thought about it for a long time and didn't have a good answer, but he finally couldn't help it.
"If you just want to humiliate me, you can kill me, you don't have to do this, isn't it enough to defeat me once?"
Captain Jack no longer thought that he would be able to get out safely, and the man in front of him was clearly looking for an excuse to kill him.
If it was really a pity, I wouldn't ask so many useless questions.
But after hearing Captain Jack's words, Xue Zhe slowly got up, slowly walked behind him, and untied his hands that were tied up by chairs.
"I don't like your answer, but I'm satisfied, and it's rare that you can see your failures. ”
Xue Zha turned back to his seat, grabbed a teacup from the table, raised the teapot and poured a cup for Captain Jack and gently pushed it in front of him.
"Don't be surprised, since I left you behind, I must have wanted to borrow your power, as for what it is, you will understand when the time comes. ”
Xue Zha did not tell his plan, firstly, because his plan was too bold, secondly, he had not yet confirmed the addition of Captain Jack, and thirdly, his plan must be kept secret and not leaked, once it was known by the Holy Academy, he would definitely be punished.
Captain Jack's eyes were full of doubts, and he seemed to be still wondering why Xue Zhe said that he would let him go.
But he is a person who can't grasp people's hearts, and he can't get a correct answer after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply doesn't think about it anymore.
With a heartbeat, he sat directly on the back of the chair, picked up the cup of tea in front of him and drank it.
Xue Zha watched him gulp down his tea, completely ignoring that he was still sitting next to him.
"You really have a big heart, aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea?"
Xue Zha suddenly put the teacup on the table, with a weird smile on his face, which looked extremely strange under the dim candlelight.
"What do you want, what do you want me to do, I can give you anything!"
Captain Jack finally couldn't help it, he really couldn't understand what Xue Zha wanted him to do, it was better to use torture on him, he couldn't stand the psychological torture like this.
Xue Zha saw that Captain Jack was on the verge of collapse, he didn't get angry, but gently picked up the teacup on the table, lifted the lid and gently blew the floating tea leaves, and then took a sip.
