Chapter 72 Pressure
Wenxi County.
The master, along with Zhang Zhiguo, Wang Daozhi and others, witnessed the fierce and bloody battle that took place outside the city, which made several people excited and excited.
When the Pei family's army defeated the official army, but was entangled by the official cavalry and unable to pursue them to the north, Shi Wenyao, a stunned young man, excitedly asked his master to fight and said: "Master, the officers and soldiers are defeated. At this moment, our army is leaving the city to fight for the enemy."
I am in charge of the opportunity to take revenge, and please allow me to leave the city..."
"Shut up." Before Shi Wenyao finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by his master, "Leave the city? What city? Just guard your city gate and don't think about all this nonsense."
After saying that, the master ignored him and left with a stern expression.
Shi Wenyao was scolded and scolded, but he was still in a state of confusion. I just wanted to take advantage of the enemy's defeat and help the friendly troops attack the officers and soldiers. Why did the master react so badly?
Shi Wenyao didn't understand the master's thoughts because he was Li Jian's confidant and was at a lower level, so he didn't understand the cruel struggle between his superiors.
Zhang Zhiguo, who had been silent, looked at him with a half-smile, turned around and left without saying a word.
After these people left, Wang Dao came straight to Shi Wenyao, sighed, patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense in the future. This is no longer the era of holding a plate. No one can protect you if something happens."
.”
"General Wang, I don't understand." Shi Wenyao said in confusion, almost asking for answers.
"You will know in the future. No matter what happens now, don't come forward. You have to wait for the situation to change and wait for a favorable opportunity. Do you understand?" Wang Daozhi patiently consoled him.
Although he still didn't understand, Shi Wenyao also knew that Wang Daozhi was doing it for his own good, so he said: "Yes, General Wang, I will listen to you."
"Well, let's go back and defend the city."
The master returned to his residence with a cold face, went straight into the study, and ordered that no one should go even ten steps closer to the courtyard. Anyone who violated the rules would be killed without mercy. After that, he called Zhang Zhiguo and Zhao Hao in and closed the door.
The weather is bad today, there is no sunlight, and the closed study looks particularly gloomy and depressing.
"You all can tell me about today's events." Master closed his eyes and lay back on the chair.
"I think those officers and soldiers are idiots. There are so many people who can't even take care of Pei Xiaoer, and they were beaten by Pei Xiaoer until they lost their armor. They are simply incompetent," Zhao Hao cursed bitterly.
"The officers and soldiers are incompetent?" Zhang Zhiguo didn't even look at him. In Zhang Zhiguo's mind, this Zhao Hao was even stupider than a straw bag. He really didn't know what it was about him that Sitting Tigers saw so much that he could actually be on an equal footing with him. "Then what happened to the officers and soldiers these days?
Who are we who are suppressed and beaten? We are worse than straw bags?"
"You..." Zhao Hao stood up and glared at Zhang Zhiguo, but he was choked and couldn't say a word.
"Okay, it's mostly useless now. Let's think about what to do next." Master said with a cold face as he came to Zhao Hao's rescue.
After hearing the master's words, Zhao Hao sat down again angrily and turned his face to the side, as if he was angry.
When the master saw this scene, he felt a little angry. Why was this Zhao Hao so stupid? Otherwise, this Zhao Hao was still useful and could not be squeezed out by Zhang Zhiguo at will. He should have gotten rid of him long ago to avoid being implicated by him.
Ignoring him, the master turned to Zhang Zhiguo and said in a slow tone: "Zhiguo, guess what would happen if Pei Xiaoer entered the city and saw the master in charge unconscious. Will he be greedy for that position?
?”
The master asked the question that mattered most to him. Yes, he was bound to win the position on the plate. He had done so much and sacrificed so much, but he was not just making wedding dresses for others. If that position did not belong to him,
Then he would rather destroy him.
Zhang Zhiguo had known his master's thoughts for a long time, but he had no choice but to fall into the hands of the other party and could only temporarily succumb to the other party's power. Every time he thought about this, he felt that he was sorry for being a tiger sitting on the table.
"I don't know. I haven't communicated much with Pei Xiaoer, so I don't know what kind of person he is." Zhang Zhiguo shook his head and said he didn't know.
The master stared at Zhang Zhiguo fiercely, his dissatisfaction with the other party reached the extreme, "You don't know? Zhang Zhiguo, you have to understand that you and I are both grasshoppers on a rope. You can't run away from me, and I can't run away from you."
Facing the master's threat, Zhang Zhiguo was filled with anger, but what was the use of anger? Soon he was like a deflated ball, his whole body slumped, and he explained: "I really don't know what Pei Xiaoer will do.
If you hadn’t seen some of his actions, you probably wouldn’t have just sat there and waited for death.”
"Yes, that Pei Xiaoer's usual behavior doesn't seem like he is willing to bow his head and be a petty person," Zhao Hao interrupted.
This sentence can be said to have touched the master's heart. This is what he has always been worried about.
After he had reached this level, Shi Wenyao actually wanted to avenge Zuo Dihu. Thinking of what he had done to Zuo Dihu, and thinking about the support of the soldiers for Zuo Dihu, the master felt shuddering.
If Pei Xiaoer takes up the banner of seeking justice for the sitting tiger as soon as he enters the city, then he will have no power to fight back.
No, I absolutely cannot allow Pei Xiaoer to enter the city, even if we both die.
"Zhiguo, how do you think we should deal with that Pei Xiaoer?" The master's attitude became sincere and his tone softened.
Zhang Zhiguo sighed and said helplessly: "Master, you know what to do yourself, so why bother asking me again?"
The master suddenly laughed and said, "Zhiguo, I need your help."
"What help?"
The master did not answer directly, as if saying something irrelevant, "The boss has been injured for several days, and he may not be able to survive today. By then, the boss will definitely appoint a successor, and I don't know who the boss will appoint.
Woolen cloth?"
Zhang Zhiguo realized something, his face instantly turned pale, and his fingers trembled unconsciously, "No, it won't happen. The person in charge will live a long life. He will not die like this easily. No one will believe it."
"It's none of your business. I just want you to ask the master to be quiet and go to heaven, and I'll take care of the rest." There was no emotion in the master's words, just like saying something effortless and trivial.
"No, the boss is kind to me, I can't do this to him," Zhang Zhiguo was still struggling in his heart. He didn't want to become a knife in the hands of his master and become a ruthless villain.
"It's not up to you. Don't forget, what did you do to the master in the first place, and now you want to be a loyal minister and a good general? It's too late. Do you think you can go back? What do you think you will do when the master wakes up?
