Chapter 398 Employing People with Suspicion
As soon as Zhang Chun died, it basically meant that he could take Yuyang without much effort.
As for the Wuhuan generals in the city, under the spread of those Wuhuan soldiers who were put back, it is estimated that they have long lost the courage to fight against Lu Bu.
"Wang Zheng, your gift, General Ben is very satisfied."
Although Lu Bu was happy in his heart, his face was extremely calm, he beckoned, and ordered the soldiers in a deep tone: "Go, take 100,000 yuan and give it to the righteous man." ”
Maybe he hadn't noticed it himself, but the jokes and others below could obviously feel that a majestic momentum of the superior had gradually condensed on Lu Bu's body.
"General, the villain assassinated Zhang Chun, not for money, but to serve the general when he was near, please give the villain this opportunity." Wang Zheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground with his fists clenched, explaining his intention.
Being able to enter Yuyang alone and kill Zhang Chun, Wang Zheng's ability is needless to say.
However, what made Lu Bu hesitate was that the loyalty of this kind of wandering swordsman would become a great worry.
No one in this world likes a betrayer. He can kill Zhang Chun today and take refuge in himself, and he may be able to kill himself one day and go to a new family.
With Lu Bu's strength, it is certainly difficult for Wang Zheng to succeed in assassination. But, what about Wei Niang? What about the little bells?
Lu Bu's brows were locked, and when he was thinking about it, the joke below showed him a look and bowed slightly.
In fact, Lu Bu has already decided in his heart to accept this person, after all, it is difficult to say how loyal he is, but Wang Zheng's ability is obvious to all. Rather than letting him go to serve others, it is better to stay in his own hands for the time being, and if he finds that there is a change, he can also directly erase it to get rid of future troubles.
Lu Bu, who had figured this out, nodded and agreed: "Then first succumb to Your Excellency, temporarily serve as a diner in the General's Mansion, if he has the opportunity in the future, this General is seeking a good position for Your Excellency, how about it?" ”
The water flows low, and the people go high.
When Wang Zheng heard this, a fine light flashed in his eyes, which was exactly what he needed, and he responded with a fist: "The villain will be a general, and he will serve as a dog and horse." ”
Lu Bu nodded, and then asked people to take Wang Zheng down and find a room for him to live in.
After Wang Zheng left, the hall was full of confidants, and Lu Bu had nothing to avoid, so he ordered: "Chen Wei, you take this head and tell Liu Tingshi, just say that Zhang Chun has been killed, and the thief army in Yuyang County has no leader, let him go and persuade the rebels in the city to put down his weapons and surrender." ”
"Han Sheng, you go and inform General Meng and General Xu, and ask them to lead their troops to accompany the assassin Shi to protect their safety."
After Lu Bu finished giving the order, Ma Zhong was very puzzled by this: "General, why don't you lead the troops yourself, this is a lot of credit, wouldn't it be a pity to give it to others." ”
All the generals looked at Lu Bu suspiciously, only the two of them, Guo Jia, knew the truth in this.
Since starting from Zhuojun to fight for thieves, Lu Bu and his command Huang Zhong, Ma Zhong and others can be said to have been in the limelight, and almost all the credit has fallen on them.
As for the soldiers of the other battalions, few of them have made meritorious contributions. Even if you don't say it, there must be a slight grievance in your heart.
Do not overdo anything, because the extremes of things must be opposed.
This begging for a thief is like a delicious food cooked in a big pot.
Lu Bu had already bitten most of it, and at this time, he should always leave some soup for others to drink. Don't ask for his kindness, at least there will be no more malice.
As for why Zhang Chun's head was sent to Liu Yu, Lu Bu had his own ideas.
First, he wants to sell Liu Yu a favor, after all, he is a royal family member, and it is harmless to be good friends with him; Second, Lu Bu felt that Liu Yu was indeed one of the few good officials, and he was deeply supported by the people, and he was not a threat to him.
The most important thing is that Lu Bu is now a general of Zhenbei, which is already a very high rank of general. The generals of the two places are under his control, and ordinary feats are no longer enough for him to continue to climb. Unless there is a particularly great merit, otherwise, you can only slowly grind your age and seniority.
Wait for the spring of the next year, and then go to Youbeiping to take off the head of the pseudo-'Son of Heaven', and this counterinsurgency can be drawn to a perfect end.
Everyone took their orders and left, and Lu Bu left the joke alone.
"Sir, why do you want me to take Wang Zheng in?" Regarding this matter, although Lu Bu has his own ideas, he still wants to hear the opinions of Xi Ce.
"Don't you think that the general still needs a team under your command to assassinate or collect intelligence?" Xi Ce clasped his hands and shrank unconsciously because of the cold.
If there is no accurate intelligence information, we will suffer great losses in the future, whether it is the march or the arrangement of the battle plan and strategic policy.
Now there is an official court to provide information, so what about in the future?
"Since Dong Zhuo dares to raise more than 200 outlaws, why don't the generals also use Wang Zheng to form an assassination team, which is specifically responsible for assassinating enemy generals, or infiltrating the enemy army to collect intelligence." There was still half a sentence in the back, and the joke was swallowed back when he said it. The four words of excluding dissidents are still too early for Lu Bu.
After listening to this analysis of the drama, Lu Bu's eyes lit up for a moment, why didn't he think of this?
If you can kill the enemy commander or general on the eve of the battle, it will undoubtedly be a great aid to your side, and even turn the tide of the battle. And after having his own exclusive intelligence network, he can quickly grasp the movements of his wife and daughter in the future, so that he will not know everything about a month ago like now.
The formation of this team, whether it is assassination or obtaining information, is a very feasible thing.
Through Zhang Chun's case and his intuitive feeling for Wang Zheng, Lu Bu felt that this person was a natural assassin, and he was the most appropriate person to set up and direct the assassination agency.
The only thing that made him a little reassured was Wang Zheng's loyalty.
Xi Ce saw through Lu Bu's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "General, don't worry, I have seen a lot of people like Wang Zheng." To put it nicely, it is a ranger of the rivers and lakes, and to put it ugly, it is the recklessness of the four seas. They want to win the position, but they have no way to serve, and they are not willing to start as ordinary soldiers, as long as they can be given the position they want, they will have enough loyalty. ”
"Besides, there are no 100% loyal people in the world. The ancients said, 'There is no doubt in employing people, but there is no need to doubt people', but I have a different opinion. ”
"Sir, please." Lu Bu humbly asked.
The answer of the joke is only nine words: "Employing people should be suspicious, and suspicious people should also be used." ”
Lu Bu muttered it twice, completely unable to grasp the profound meaning of this sentence, and in his opinion, this sentence itself was a paradox.
"General, there is your letter." The appearance of the soldier at the door interrupted Lu Bu's thoughts.
He glanced at the bag containing the bamboo slips, which was tied with a red rope.
A letter from Luoyang.
