Zhang Xi really didn't expect that the place where Zhang Fei hid his wine was actually in the mud behind his military tent. It was so close that Zhang Xi had never noticed it before.
Kou Feng didn't expect that Zhang Fei would catch him while he was digging for wine with his brother.
Guan Ping also didn't expect that his irritable third uncle, whose face turned black when he saw Kou Feng stealing wine, actually held back and did not crack the whip.
As for Zhang Fei...he didn't expect that the wine he had worked so hard to hide would be found out by the shady Marching Sima.
The four people looked at each other, and the scene was awkwardly silent for a while.
Zhang Xi just looked at Zhang Fei with a half-smile, while Zhang Fei had a gloomy face and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking. The remaining two people, Guan Ping and Kou Feng, looked at each other.
After all, Guan Ping reacted quickly and was more sensible. He secretly pulled Kou Feng, who was still a little confused about the situation, and quickly fled the scene.
It's not that Guan Ping is unkind, it's mainly because this matter... needs to be solved behind closed doors.
The position of Marching Sima is responsible for supervising the entire army. The subjects of supervision theoretically include Zhang Fei as the chief general.
But after all, the Marching Sima was only the second-in-command in the military camp. The real number one was Zhang Fei, and the Marching Sima was Zhang Fei's subordinate after all.
Therefore, when a general violates military orders, unless it is a matter of principle, two people will usually resolve it behind closed doors.
Obviously, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi also thought so. Zhang Xi even took the lead and asked Zhang Fei to go back to the military tent first, and the two of them sat down to talk.
Zhang Fei's mind is relatively simple. He really doesn't think it's a big deal to drink secretly... In other words, he thinks that by hiding and drinking, he has already given Zhang Xi face. After all, before Zhang Xi came, He drinks alcohol openly.
As for Zhang Xi, she actually didn't expect Zhang Fei to get rid of this problem.
This is a character who loses his life just for drinking, whether in fiction or history.
But if you need to persuade, you still have to say it.
"Third general, do you know why my lord prohibits alcohol?!" Zhang Xi asked calmly.
But Zhang Fei was already very energetic at this moment.
Last time, because of his carelessness, he accidentally fell into the trap of this shady Sima, which resulted in all the wine he had stored being rewarded to the soldiers in the camp... This time, he couldn't be fooled no matter what.
"It's to prevent people from wasting food by making wine." Zhang Fei first answered Zhang Xi's question, and then immediately explained, "But this wine, Mr. Zhang, was given by a wealthy local family. It is aged and brewed, but it is not a waste of food." Bar?!"
Right, this wine was already wine before Big Brother gave the order, and it can't be turned back into food... This can't be considered a subjective and intentional mistake, right? !
There is a saying that Zhang Fei's argument makes sense. The only flaw is that in these days, wealthy families will say this when they want to drink. But in fact, you can't find out when the wine was brewed.
Zhang Xi didn't want to talk about this with Zhang Fei, but changed the subject and asked, "That's among the people, but what about the army?! Since Emperor Xiaowu, alcohol has been banned in the army. Doesn't the general know this? ?!”
The prohibition of alcohol in the military is said to have been stipulated since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... How it is actually implemented is another matter, but this rule does exist.
This has nothing to do with new wine or old wine, right? !
The position on this issue changed. It was Zhang Fei who couldn't break up with Zhang Xi.
There are things that are clearly stipulated, even if it is now a piece of waste paper, but on the surface, it still needs to be given some face.
Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Fei's look and knew that this guy still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
But Zhang Xi couldn't tell Zhang Fei that you died because of drinking... He could only sigh and said, "General, do you know why Emperor Xiaowu ordered drinking in the army to be banned?! "
Of course Zhang Fei, a veteran in the army, knows this problem.
But just because he knew it, Zhang Fei still kept his mouth shut.
When officers and soldiers drink alcohol for a long time, they will become lazy and cause trouble.
The general drinks too much, and if there is a commotion in the army, no one will take charge of the overall situation. The generals drink too much, and they are unable to fight back when the enemy attacks.
Of course Zhang Fei knew all these things, so he insisted on keeping his mouth shut.
After all, it’s up to you to make the mistake.
Zhang Fei is not the kind of person who likes to make excuses and throw blame. It is embarrassing to say something like "it is not a march to fight now".
Zhang Fei continued to be silent, and Zhang Xi was a little helpless.
Zhang Xi could tell that Zhang Fei didn't know anything. He just liked drinking, but he couldn't change his habit of drinking.
In this case... Zhang Xi thought for a while, stood up, bowed to Zhang Fei, and then said, "In that case, I would like to ask the general to inform my lord, to remove Xi Marching Army Commander and use it for other purposes. "
Zhang Fei was obviously stunned for a moment, and then panicked.
"Hey, what did Yuan Chang say?!" Zhang Fei quickly stood up, grabbed Zhang Xi's arm, and said, "What's the matter with this... At worst, I just won't drink anymore!"
Not to mention that Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi are getting along well these days, and they also cooperate quite well when training together.
Just say that Zhang Xi resigned from Liu Bei because of his drinking in the army... Then Liu Bei would definitely not be able to spare Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xi, trying to say nice words, while dragging Zhang Xi back to his seat.
Zhang Xi is also helpless...he is not as strong as anyone else.
Having no choice but to sit down again, Zhang Xi felt calm and continued, "The third general does not need to say such words... Xi knows that you can't get rid of this problem!"
Zhang Fei laughed awkwardly and did not return to his seat. He sat down next to Zhang Xi and said to Zhang Xi with a smile, "Hey, whatever Yuan Chang said, I, Lao Zhang, will naturally take care of it." Otherwise..."
"What else?!" Zhang Xi glanced sideways at Zhang Fei and said with a smile, "Do the three generals still have to swear an oath to heaven and earth?!"
People of this age are still very sensitive to swearing. Zhang Fei glanced at Zhang Xi and giggled again.
Zhang Xi had nothing to do with this black guy, so he had to continue patiently, "Xi wants to resign from the post of marching Sima. It's not the fault of the general, but because Xi is afraid of death. Xi really doesn't want to march with the general one day and encounter the enemy by chance. They attacked at night, but the general was drunk and unconscious. I don’t know how many soldiers will die because of the general’s drunkenness. How do you know that there is no stream among them?! The stream cherishes life, so I say goodbye."
"Don't, don't!" Zhang Fei grabbed Zhang Xi again and said a little shyly, "I, Old Zhang, don't drink anymore... It's okay if I don't drink anymore?!"
Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Fei sideways and said, "Third general, we don't get along for just one or two days anymore. Do you believe this?!"
"Why don't you believe it?!" Zhang Fei stood up immediately, as if his character had been insulted in some way, pointed in the direction behind the military tent, and said, "I'll smash those wines right now!"
After saying that, Zhang Fei quickly walked out of the tent, while Zhang Xi sat there without moving.
Only a fool would believe that this drunk black guy dared to smash his own wine jar.
But when Zhang Xi actually heard the sound of the wine jar being smashed, he realized that it might be true.
This... needs to be stopped.
Zhang Xi somewhat overestimated Zhang Fei's face, and somewhat underestimated the integrity of people of this generation.
This is an era where a few words can lead to someone drawing a sword and killing someone.
Zhang Xi once again threatened to resign, and repeatedly questioned Zhang Fei's words and Zhang Fei's integrity...Zhang Fei just smashed the wine jar, and he was already considered to have a good temper.
But Zhang Xi’s original intention was not this.
Zhang Xi really wants to persuade Zhang Fei to drink less or to quit drinking as much as possible, but there must be a prerequisite for this, that is, the relationship with Zhang Fei cannot be stalemate.
In this troubled world, no matter how powerful a scribe is, without the support of these generals, not only will he be unable to accomplish anything, but he may also die at any time.
Zhang Xi was really afraid of death, so he tried his best because he didn't want to fall out with Zhang Fei.
But if Zhang Fei really smashed the wine jar, it would be hard to say.
It's hard to say whether this Jiu Mengzi will have a problem with Zhang Xi because of this. Even if he doesn't fall out, the relationship that was finally established before will be greatly compromised.
He quickly ran out and grabbed the angry Zhang Fei.
Of course, Zhang Fei didn't really want to smash the wine jar. After all, for an alcoholic, wine is really the lifeblood.
But the problem is, when Zhang Fei left the military tent, Zhang Xi did not chase him out. He made it clear that he did not believe that he would really smash it...Whether it was for the sake of face or for his own credibility, Zhang Fei had no choice but to Smashed.
But... I feel really bad. These are all fine wines. It took me half a year to collect them.
Zhang Fei was reluctant to smash him at first, but now Zhang Xi came out to stop him. Zhang Fei immediately used the donkey under the slope to stop smashing him... Otherwise, with Zhang Xi's little strength, could he hold Zhang Fei back? !
But he still had to be polite and kept shouting, "Chang Yuan, don't stop me, I will smash these harmful things today..."
When Zhang Xi saw Zhang Fei's nonsensical energy, he immediately understood... It seemed that he had come out a little early, and this black guy was still wearing it.
But the problem is not big. Anyway, the purpose is not to fall out with Zhang Fei. This guy can pretend if he wants.
"Xi also knows what the three generals mean!" Zhang Xi cupped his hands towards Zhang Fei and said, "But this wine is always made from grain. It would be a pity to destroy it. Please think twice and deal with it as appropriate."
Zhang Xi was very considerate. Not only did he let Zhang Fei express his attitude, but he also specially gave Zhang Fei a step up - the wine should not be wasted. You can handle it yourself.
As for Zhang Fei, he naturally understood what Zhang Xi meant.
After thinking for a while, he realized that he couldn't keep the wine, so he said, "Then it's better to reward the sergeants in the army as usual... Well, next month will be the military drill, and I will reward the military drill in the meantime. How about a man of merit?!"
Well, you can drink as much as you like.
As for whether you will drink secretly during this month... Zhang Xi did not speak anymore, but bowed to Zhang Fei and expressed his attitude.
As for Zhang Fei, he probably guessed what Zhang Xi was thinking. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile, "Yuan Chang, you have worked hard these days. Why don't you pick a jar from these wines?" Think of it as confiscating me, Lao Zhang, okay?!"
...Are you bribing me? !
