The next day, Zhang Xi still went to the warehouse of his grain and grass master.
You have to wait until the new appointment is made and the work is completed before you can take up the post in Zhang Fei Army.
Until then, the work that needs to be done still needs to be done.
Zhang Xi was not kept waiting for too long. In just a few days, Liu Bei's new appointment was announced.
Zhang Xi was moved from the chief of grain and grass to Cao Cao, general of Zuo general's mansion, and general of Zhonglang, marching Sima.
Cao Yu, the soldier in the left general's palace, is Liu Bei's subordinate officer, Zhonglang general is Zhang Fei's official official position, and the marching commander is Zhang Fei's subordinate officer.
It is very common these days for one person to hold multiple jobs. It mainly depends on what job you are responsible for.
Zhang Xi's main job is to train the army of General Zhonglang, Marching Sima, for Zhang Fei. The position of General Zuo's Mansion Soldier Cao Yu is an honorary title given to him.
After all, these are troubled times, the rules are not so strict, and Bing Cao is an official of General Zuo's mansion. In theory, Liu Bei can appoint as many people as he wants without reporting to the court for approval.
After spending a few more days with the treasurer to complete the work at hand, Zhang Xi officially reported to Zhang Fei's camp.
"Sir, you are finally here, let me, Lao Zhang, wait!"
As soon as he entered the camp gate, Zhang Xi saw the black guy, who came to greet him with a smile on his face, and patted Zhang Xi's shoulders hard several times with both hands.
It hurts, but I dare not say it.
"General, it's Xi's crime to wait for a long time!" Zhang Xi quickly bowed and saluted.
Zhang Fei was unhappy when he heard this.
"How come I haven't seen you for a few days, and my husband is acting like this again...but he's not happy!" Zhang Fei snorted and pulled Zhang Xi into his military tent.
Zhang Xi thought Zhang Fei was moody. One second he was laughing, and the next he was angry... But after careful observation, Zhang Fei didn't seem to be really angry, he just had a straighter temper. What can I say? Nothing more.
When he came to the military tent and sat down, Zhang Xi felt that in order to improve his quality of life in the army in the future, he still had to make some things clear to Zhang Fei.
"The general is generous, but Xi is not as good as... However, Xi is always a scholar, this is the way he talks..."
Tactfully remind Zhang Fei and ask him to respect his profession as a "scribe" a little bit.
But Zhang Fei waved his hand slightly and said, "It's not that I don't respect you, sir. I also come from a wealthy family in Zhuo County. Although I don't read as much as your husband, I also know etiquette... It's just that in the army, your husband speaks and behaves like this." , I’m afraid the soldiers won’t understand it, and it’s not the way to lead troops.”
To put it simply, the big-headed soldier is uneducated. If you speak in such a formal manner, the big-headed soldier cannot understand you.
"Besides, I, Lao Zhang, am not used to it either!"
Well, that’s what matters, right? !
The Zhang Fei of this world is different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. His family is not a pork seller. He comes from a standard Zhuojun noble family according to official history.
A wealthy family, in translation, means the local big landowners. It's just that no one in our ancestors has ever been an official, but they are the kind who are rich.
It is impossible for such a family not to educate their children, so although Zhang Fei's cultural level is not high, he is not illiterate and knows everything he needs to know.
But Zhang Fei was not happy.
Zhang Fei, who didn't really like reading, basically followed Liu Bei everywhere as an adult, conquering the world, hanging out with soldiers every day, and his way of speaking was already like a standard "rude common man".
Zhang Fei is different from Guan Yu. Guan Yu came from a lower class background, so when he became an adult, he felt his own shortcomings and would work hard to improve and study when he had time.
Zhang Fei had read books and could communicate normally with scribes, but he was accustomed to speaking in a way that he felt comfortable with.
He will respect Zhang Xi's way of speaking, and will occasionally accompany Zhang Xi to say a few cultural words, but he is really not used to it.
And if Zhang Xi keeps talking like Mi Zhu Jian Yong, although Zhang Fei is not used to it, he will still talk in the same way... But Zhang Xi can obviously speak in a straightforward way, then Zhang Fei will Can't understand it anymore.
After arguing with Zhang Fei for a long time, Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei finally agreed - the way of speaking is not important, as long as everyone can understand it.
In other words, if Zhang Xi likes to speak literary words, he can say it, Zhang Fei does not force it, and Zhang Xi cannot force Zhang Fei to accompany him. Zhang Fei has to let him speak plainly if he wants to.
Zhang Xi did not necessarily ask Zhang Fei to speak literary words. Even if it were not for his status as a "scribe", he would not want to be so literary.
When the two parties reached an agreement, Zhang Fei was happy. With a wave of his hand, he asked his servants to bring out the wine and invited Zhang Xi to drink with him.
Zhang Xi's eyebrows twitched instantly.
Having just finished the delivery of the warehouse, Zhang Xi knew very well that the warehouse had not lost any alcohol recently... Where did this black guy's wine come from? !
Besides, drinking is prohibited in the military, right? !
This black guy...why is he so greedy for drinks? !
If this were the case in the past, as long as the wine was not taken from the warehouse, Zhang Xi would not have cared about whether Zhang Fei wanted to drink... Why would he mind his lord's third brother's business when he was full? !
But that's not possible now. He is Zhonglang General Marching Sima and is responsible for all the affairs of Zhang Fei's army, which naturally includes the enforcement of military discipline.
On his first day in office, Zhang Fei violated military orders in front of Zhang Xi. What if he pretended not to see it...? !
Zhuge Liang still has three things to do when a new official takes office. He can't have no principles at all, right? !
"Third general, wait a minute!" Zhang Xi quickly stopped Zhang Fei's hand from pouring wine, and looked at Zhang Fei like a marching Sima in the army.
Zhang Fei was also surprised. He was used to drinking in the camp, and for a moment he really didn't realize why Zhang Xi stopped him.
Zhang Xi took a deep breath and activated his brain to think of a solution.
You can't just come up and say Zhang Fei, you can't do this, drinking is against military orders... It's too disrespectful to the commander, and it's not easy for this reckless man to accept.
The key is that Zhang Xi is afraid that Zhang Fei will beat him in a hurry.
Zhang Xi thought for a while and then said to Zhang Fei, "Do the three generals know the former Han general Li Guang?!"
Zhang Fei was slightly startled, put down the wine jar temporarily, and said, "Who doesn't know the name of the Flying General?!"
It's easier to handle if you know.
Zhang Xi smiled slightly and said to Zhang Fei, "General Li Guang's way of running the army is to divide the rewards among his subordinates and share food and drinks with the soldiers. Sincerely set an example for the general, does the general think so?!"
Zhang Fei didn't quite understand the intention of Zhang Xi's words, but he still recognized Li Guang, so he nodded in agreement.
It'll be easier if you agree.
"Since the general agrees, why doesn't he do it?!" Zhang Xi smiled, pointed at the wine jar in Zhang Fei's hand, and said, "This wine must have been given to the general by the lord, but how can the general have it all to himself?! Why not the general? Is it possible to share the fine wines among the soldiers so that they can gain their hearts?!"
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.
Seeing Zhang Fei's reaction, Zhang Xi didn't want to give Zhang Fei a chance to cheat, so he quickly pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Could it be that this wine was given by the lord?! The three generals drank in the army, this... ....”
Damn, you are such a bad scholar.
Zhang Fei, who completely understood, looked at Zhang Xi with widened eyes, without saying a word.
This wine was not a reward from Liu Bei. It was obtained by him through some special channels. Liu Bei didn't know about it.
But the question now is, can Zhang Fei say in front of Zhang Xi that I brought this wine for myself to drink? !
So how does drinking in the military count? !
At this moment, Zhang Fei finally came to his senses. This evil-minded gentleman was not telling him anything about General Li Guang. He was clearly trying to set a trap for himself, telling him that drinking in the army was against the law.
Zhang Fei was very angry. At first, he really didn't understand why Zhang Xi wanted to stop him from drinking. After all, in Zhang Fei's mind, drinking in the army was not a big deal. He drank often.
Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei were talking about flying generals. Zhang Fei thought they were just chatting. Unexpectedly, this bad gentleman was waiting at this point.
He was very angry, but Zhang Fei didn't do anything.
After all, he is not the kind of reckless man who insists on his own way, nor is he the kind of idiot who flips the table if he disagrees. Zhang Fei thought about it and decided that he must carry this gentleman behind his back when drinking in the future.
It was impossible for Zhang Fei to give up drinking, even Liu Bei couldn't do it.
As for this bottle of wine...
"Come here!" Zhang Fei shouted, almost startling Zhang Xi.
"Put these wines... plus the nine jars behind my tent, and distribute them among the officers and men. I will say that the lord knows that all the officers and men have worked hard, and hereby commend them." Zhang Fei said angrily to the troops who came in. The pro-jun said, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
How do you share a jar of wine with the soldiers? Since you want to win the hearts of the soldiers, you have to be generous. Zhang Fei could only bear the pain and share the other nine jars he had secretly hidden, without forgetting the priority. , carrying Liu Bei's name.
It doesn't matter if this batch of wine is gone, just hide it secretly next time... If you mention wine in front of this gentleman in the future, he will be the one!
Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Fei's temper and thought that if he was beaten with a stick, he would give him a sweet date or something. He stood up, clasped his hands to Zhang Fei and praised, "General, if you have the style of a good general, Xi admires him!" "
Well, it’s just a compliment, it doesn’t cost money, it’s not embarrassing.
Zhang Fei is not in the same good mood as Zhang Xi, and he just lost ten jars of wine.
"Sir, if you have something to say from now on, just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush like this!" Zhang Fei was unhappy and made it clear, saying, "Drinking in the army is something I, Lao Zhang, shouldn't do. Sir, just say it straight from now on!" "
Zhang Xi smiled and thought, can I change it if I just tell you? !
You must find a place to hide the wine and drink it secretly when no one is around!
However, Zhang Xi doesn't want to discuss this with Zhang Fei anymore at this time, so he can just let it go.
"General, it's Xi's fault!" Zhang Xi smiled, bowed and admitted his mistake, and let this matter go.
"It's just that since the general has ordered Xi to be a marching commander, he doesn't know when he can review the soldiers?!" Zhang Xi then asked.
Let's get down to business quickly. Don't worry about whether to drink or not. You can also use the business to divert Zhang Fei's attention.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Fei stopped being sulky.
The world is huge, and the affairs of the army are the biggest, and Zhang Fei is not the kind of person who can't distinguish priorities.
"In that case, I'll beat the drums here to gather the generals, and invite the army commander!"
Well, the title has been changed for you.
