Speaking of which, Zhou Tai and Lu Meng were both from lower classes, but they were two completely different types.
Although Lu Meng can endure hardships, he is like a little beggar who wanders around the market. He is very smart and agile, has a very good brain, does not act according to common sense, and has no obvious distinction between good and evil in his eyes. If you give him money, he will treat You smiled at him and called you a great philanthropist. May your good deeds be rewarded. You didn't give him any money, and your wallet might have fallen into his hands unknowingly when you turned around. It's no wonder that the Demon Sect fell in love with Lu Meng. Of course, it was precisely because of this that Lu Meng developed the concept that "no matter what method is used, as long as it can achieve the effect, it is good." Therefore, when Sun Quan gave Lu Meng the Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldier Talisman and taught him the "Shangqing Heart Sutra", Lu Meng had no obstacles at all, and he learned quickly, without any unnecessary worries that Sun Quan had thought of in advance. Sun Quan became more and more fond of this boy, and from time to time he also intended to teach him reading, literacy, and the art of war. Lu Meng did not disappoint Sun Quan's expectations, and he understood everything very quickly.
On the other hand, Zhou Tai is not as good as Lu Meng in terms of agility. Zhou Tai is a standard honest man, he only knows how to work hard, and he is also very able to endure hardships. As long as it is a job given to him, he can persevere even if he grits his teeth. It can be said that people like Zhou Tai are the favorite employees of businessmen, including Sun Quan, a profiteer. When he replaced Zhuge Liannu, Sun Quan directly gave this powerful hidden weapon to Zhou Tai, although there was only one Fire bullets, but this represents Sun Quan's absolute trust in Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai is that kind of person, you dare to trust him with your back!
To make an inappropriate analogy, Lu Meng is Yang Guo, and Zhou Tai is Guo Jing. Yang Guo is smart, Guo Jing is dull. Yang Guo can learn everything quickly, but it takes Guo Jing a long time to master a move. But Guo Jing, who perseveres and learns every move, will never be weaker than Yang Guo.
This was also the case at this time. Although both of them had the Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldier Talisman, Zhou Tai was far less able to comprehend the "Shangqing Heart Sutra" than Lu Meng. Zhou Tai relied solely on his solid foundation to deal with Lu Meng, but in the end, he won. They are all still Lu Meng. However, Sun Quan believed that after ten or twenty years, Lu Meng might become a famous general, but Zhou Tai's martial arts would far surpass Lu Meng! This is definitely not because Sun Quan taught Lü Meng the art of war and diverted his energy, because even if Sun Quan did not teach Lü Meng the art of war, his attention would be diverted by other things.
However, although Zhou Tai and Lu Meng have very different personalities, they have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely grateful. As long as you are sincerely nice to them, they will remember it for a lifetime and even give you everything they have! They originally had nothing, but you gave them everything, so they are willing to give up everything for you!
Looking at Zhou Tai and Lu Meng who were discussing seriously, Sun Quan's face was filled with relief, and at the same time he glanced to the side, and then frowned slightly. But in his heart, he thought of another person who gave him a headache, and he was also the heavenly soldier selected by him during this period-Pan Zhang!
Although Sun Quan did not force anything, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai insisted on getting up early every day to practice martial arts, while Pan Zhang was still sleeping in the room. Even if you are lazy, sometimes you are in an environment and you will be influenced by others unconsciously. But Pan Zhang was not only uncompetitive, but also lazy and took it for granted, which made Sun Quan wonder if he was blind.
Well, I don’t blame Sun Quan for being blind. To be honest, I don’t know much about Pan Zhang and Sun Quan. Unlike the familiar Lu Meng and Zhou Tai, the name Pan Zhang is only among the “Twelve Tiger Ministers in Jiangdong” in history. Just seen it. Since he can be listed among the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and other figures, Pan Zhang cannot be weak no matter how he thinks about it. Therefore, as soon as he heard this name, Sun Quan immediately chose him as the third heavenly soldier after Zhou Tai Lu Meng. Sun Quan also considered the possibility of having the same name and surname, but since this Pan Zhang could be together with Lu Meng, he was The Momen thought that they would send a good seed to Sun Quan, and they must not be incompetent. The probability of being capable and having the same name is too small.
So at the beginning, Sun Quan completely regarded Pan Zhang's appearance as an unexpected surprise. Only now did Sun Quan realize that it was only an accident, not a surprise.
Of course, this may also be related to Pan Zhang's origin.
Pan Zhang was not from a lower-class background, and certainly not from a big family. Pan Zhang's father was a minor official back then, and he brought his family with him, so they had no worries about food and clothing. Unfortunately, he later committed a crime, and his days after that naturally became extremely poor. . Pan Zhang did not have nothing at the beginning. He also experienced a good life, so he had more material pursuits than Zhou Tai and Lu Meng. Of course, having pursuits is not a bad thing, but Pan Zhang had many bad habits that only petty officials had, which Sun Quan disliked very much.
To put it harshly, all these bad habits can be found in Pan Zhang. The key is that this person has no repentance at all. Sun Quan believes that once he becomes more powerful in the future, he will probably have more bad habits! This is probably the way of survival for small officials that he has learned from his father since he was a child.
In short, Sun Quan cannot deny that Pan Zhang is indeed talented, otherwise he would not be selected here in the same group as Lu Meng, but Pan Zhang's type is the representative of the people in the Demon Sect that Sun Quan has always been taboo about. You have Although you have talent, you can easily commit crimes. How should you deal with it if you commit a crime in the future? Are you just covering up?
To be honest, according to Sun Quan's habit, he would rather not use it than bring endless trouble to someone like Pan Zhang. But this time, Sun Quan really made an oversight. Just because of the name Pan Zhang, he was so excited that he gave someone else the Yellow Turban Heavenly Weapon Talisman. Now that Sun Quan was asked to abandon Pan Zhang, he really couldn't bear it. This Yellow Turban talent talisman is difficult to make, but it is similar to Sun Quan's pet peeve.
Hey, that’s all.
Sun Quan sighed and decided to use it first. In this era, although there is no shortage of talents, there are many princes who are robbing them. No one is perfect, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still have various problems. It can only be said that Pan Zhang happened to be under Sun Quan's nose, so Sun Quan looked a little embarrassed. In the future, all officials in Jiangdong will be even worse than Pan Zhang. officials believe there are more, can Sun Quan still manage them one by one?
If the water is clear, there will be no fish!
Thinking of this, Sun Quan was somewhat relieved. Indeed, his psychological expectations should be lowered. In today's world, there are very few special cases like Zhou Tailumeng, and more people like Pan Zhang. If Sun Quan is unwilling to use such talents, it will be difficult for his Sun family to continue to grow.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. Just when Sun Quan was thinking about Pan Zhang, not far away, a door opened. Then, a man came out with a strong head. He caught a glimpse of Sun Quan in a big red robe standing in the courtyard. Pan Zhang trotted over quickly.
"Master, you're so early today!" Pan Zhang ran in with a smile, his face full of flattery. Suddenly his expression changed, he raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, "Oh, look at me, today is not the best time for you." It’s better for the master’s big day to be earlier, earlier is better.”
