In fact, Zhang Xi never understood why in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when the Five Tiger Generals were awarded the title, Guan Yu was so resistant to being ranked with Huang Zhong.
Back then, you two were inseparable from each other when they were killed in Changsha City. Judging from the plot, you two should also have sympathy for each other. Why did you suddenly "swear not to rank with the veterans"? !
Zhuge Liang, who was still making trouble in Chengdu, knew about it. He had no choice but to send Fei Shi to persuade you. Are you going to stop now? !
Now Zhang Xi understands - when Liu Bei took over the four counties in Jingnan, Guan Yu was on Juebei Road. The "battle at Changsha" was fought by Luo Guanzhong on Guan Yu's behalf.
Since there is no sympathy for each other under the city of Changsha, it is natural for Guan Yu to be dissatisfied when he was guarding Jingzhou when he heard that a veteran general was listed as a general with him.
Transportation was inconvenient at that time. Guan Yu probably didn't know the significance of Huang Zhong's killing of Xiahou Yuan to the Battle of Hanzhong, so he complained like this. Then Fei Shi went over to talk and persuade Guan Yu to realize Huang Zhong's contribution, and naturally he didn't do it again. Objected.
But in any case, Liu Bei returned to Jiangxia and prepared to mobilize troops to go south. Guan Yu also took the two thousand soldiers transferred by Zhou Yu and his own troops and horses from Jiangxia north to Hanjinkou, preparing to start the North Road.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi stayed in Zhou Yu's camp and continued to help Zhou Yu attack the city.
Zhang Fei was a little uncomfortable with this.
In the past, he fought for his own people. Zhang Fei was brave and courageous, and would fight first when encountering an enemy. But now he is helping others.
Therefore, Zhang Fei, who always felt that something was wrong, secretly asked Zhang Xi in private, "Yuan Zhang, tell me the truth. Do I really want to help Zhou Yu attack Jiangling while I am waiting here?!"
Zhang Xi has a really good relationship with Zhang Fei, and she knows Zhang Fei's character, so she didn't talk to Zhang Fei in a roundabout way, but said directly, "We must fight, and we will fulfill the covenant, but what kind of fight will it take?" It depends on how the Lord and General Guan progress?!"
"Eh, tell me in detail?!" Zhang Fei asked.
Zhang Xi followed this topic and talked to Zhang Fei.
To put it simply, whether Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi are fighting smoothly on Zhou Yu's side, and whether they should fully help Zhou Yu capture Jiangling, depends on the progress of Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
Before Liu Bei attacked the four counties of Jingnan, he definitely couldn't give all his help. Otherwise, if Zhou Yu captured Nanjun and looked back and saw that Liu Bei had actually sneaked away to grab the four counties of Jingnan, he would definitely have reacted and followed him south to grab the territory.
As for the fact that Guan Yu must go to the North Road, this was a cover to make Zhou Yu believe that Liu Beijun was now restrained in the northern part of Nanjun and was unable to make other moves.
If Guan Yu's North Road goes smoothly, then it makes sense to help Zhou Yu attack Jiangling, and it will be easier to bargain when dividing Nanjun in the future. But if Guan Yu's Juebei Road does not go well, then there is no need to put in too much effort. It is best to just reduce the sense of presence. Just hang around for a day and save yourself from being used as cannon fodder by Zhou Yu.
So, under Zhou Yu's tent, it's okay to work hard when it's time to work hard, and to be salty fish when it's time to do so.
Zhang Fei finally understood what Zhang Xi meant.
But Zhang Fei is worried that he can't control it well, so please Zhang Xi to remind himself in time, don't turn around and work hard when you shouldn't, but ruin your big brother's big things.
Although Zhang Xi felt that Zhang Fei was not an idiot, since Zhang Fei said so, Zhang Xi still agreed.
In fact, Zhang Xi's original intention was to go south with Liu Bei and visit the four counties in Jingnan.
It's not that there is anything important there. According to the historical line, Liu Bei's trip to Jingnan only encountered some obstacles in Wuling. The rest was surrender, surrender, and surrender again.
Even according to the storyline, it's actually not that difficult.
Zhang Xi wanted to follow Liu Bei to the four counties in Jingnan simply because staying here with Zhou Yu would be boring.
Although they were loaned generals under the command of Zhou Yu, the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi were guest troops after all. Zhou Yu had to be polite, and Zhang Fei could not let Zhou Yu use his soldiers as cannon fodder, so Zhang Xi judged , if you stay here, there is a high probability that you will have nothing to do, and it will basically be just a job.
It's good to be a salted fish, but the problem is that Zhou Yu's battle against Jiangling took more than a year in history.
It's okay to be a salted fish for a while, but it's too boring to be a salted fish for more than a year.
Zhang Xi didn't want to stay under Jiangling City, but Zhou Yu personally named him, so Liu Bei had no choice but to give Zhou Yu this face, so Zhang Xi stayed with Zhang Fei.
Fortunately, they are old partners, and Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei get along well. The two of them hang out in the camp and chat, which makes them feel like they were back in the new field training.
Just a little bit, Zhang Xi couldn't bear to look at this black guy who started drinking in the army again.
At least this black guy gave Zhang Xi some face. He didn't drink in front of Zhang Xi, but drank secretly by himself.
But the problem is that the garrison assigned to Zhang Feijun by Zhou Yu is so big that you can't see it when you look up but you can't see it when you look down. Zhang Xi actually caught him once.
Zhang Xi didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xi really has nothing to do with this black guy. He is forty years old, sneaking around someone, hiding in the tent to steal wine, and when Zhang Xi finds out, he is like a child who has done something wrong. What can you do if you stand with your head down? !
This is a general of an army, a powerful general on the battlefield, but he is so timid at this moment.
Zhang Xi wanted to say something, but facing Zhang Fei like this, Zhang Xi really couldn't say anything.
As for wine, this gangster is still not allowed to drink. We are in a war now, not in daily life. Drinking in the army is against military law unless it is a banquet for the commander or a reward for the troops. Drinking secretly is also against military law.
Anyway, this is what is written in military law. Whether everyone actually abides by this is another matter.
As for the training, there will be no more training. After all, Zhang Xi also knows that Zhang Fei's problem may not be corrected.
In fact, there are many generals who are good drinkers these days. Zhang Fei's problem is not actually drinking. His problem is that he is "violent and ungrateful". Drinking only magnifies his shortcomings, which eventually leads to bad consequences.
Therefore, Zhang Xi had to make it clear to Zhang Fei that the wine was confiscated because drinking privately in the army violated military law, not because he was not allowed to drink.
After finishing these things, Zhang Xi turned around and went to Zhang Fei's camp to inquire about whether Zhang Fei had treated his soldiers harshly in the army in the past year or so.
At that time in Xinye, Zhang Xi was Zhang Fei's army commander. With Zhang Xi watching, Zhang Fei basically did not use lynching. All rewards and punishments were controlled by Zhang Xi and were all done in accordance with military law.
But Zhang Xi later went to Jiangxia. Zhang Xi really didn't know what was going on in Zhang Fei's camp.
Zhang Xi was afraid that Zhang Fei would return to his original state after he left. Whether he drank or not was another matter, and he always rewarded and punished the soldiers according to his own likes and dislikes. This was the most terrible thing.
Now Zhang Fei leads more soldiers. Unlike when he was in Xinye, he only had a few soldiers. Many of them were recruited or recruited later, and most of them didn't know Zhang Xi.
But Zhang Xi can always find some veterans from the New Wild Era, and in the hearts of these veterans, Zhang Xi's prestige is not low.
After a brief inquiry, Zhang Xi got the answer he wanted to know.
Zhang Fei is indeed a growing military commander.
In the eyes of the veterans, Zhang Fei is much better than before.
Although he still had a bad temper and used his loud voice to curse people when nothing happened, such things were common these days and no one thought there was anything wrong.
The most important thing is that Zhang Fei rarely hits people himself.
When Zhang Fei wanted to punish an army sergeant for making a mistake, he would mostly do it through Jun Zheng, and he would not personally come forward.
When a soldier is in a bad mood, he should not vent his anger by scolding him, but there is no such thing as abuse of lynching.
If Zhang Fei really encounters a situation that makes Zhang Fei angry, even if Zhang Fei comes forward in person, it will be in accordance with the provisions of military law. He will hit him as many times as he needs to, and after the beating, he will arrange for someone to take care of him.
Except for a few unlucky guys who privately robbed people and raped women, Zhang Fei couldn't hold it back after being caught and drove him out of the military camp after being whipped forty times. At other times, he never whipped anyone.
Zhang Xi said that this is not allowed. Robbery of the people is one of the fifty-four beheadings of the military law. It is a capital crime. How can they be let go with forty lashes?
It must be cut down immediately to enforce military law.
Then the veteran said that there were basically no people who could survive forty lashes under the three generals. Well, that would be fine.
Generally speaking, the veterans have much better feelings about Zhang Fei now than before, while the recruits just think that Zhang Fei has a bad temper, but he is fair and strict, which is enough.
Zhang Xi finally felt slightly relieved.
In this era of military management, it is enough to be fair and strict. The general has some small privileges, good or bad temper, in fact, for the lower-level soldiers, they can accept it.
And judging from this matter, after Zhang Xi left, Zhang Fei still followed Zhang Xi's method of running the army. This shows that Zhang Fei is not a willful person, and he is very good at learning the strengths of others.
This seems right.
Whether it is Zhang Fei in the novel or in history, he is a general with such growth.
He gradually grew from a fierce general beside Liu Bei who could only charge into battle to a commander in charge of his own duties. He showed great progress especially when entering Sichuan and during the Battle of Hanzhong.
This shows that Zhang Fei has always been a general who is good at learning and growing. The reason why he could only be a general and not a commander before was probably because he had no place to study. After all, Liu Bei spent the first half of his life either running away or running away. On the way.
After thinking about this, Zhang Xi felt that it was idle now and she should talk more with Zhang Fei.
The Thirty-Six Strategies have not been fully explained yet.
