Chapter 351: Allocate credits and balance military exploits
Chapter 351 Distribute merits and balance combat achievements
Then, after thinking about it, he didn't expect that Wei Yan, who had no good reputation in history, could be regarded as a person who values love and friendship. No wonder Liu Bei dared to use him to guard Hanzhong in history.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu laughed loudly, patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What is Wen Chang doing? When did I say I want to kill his son? Get up, I just ask casually."
From Wei Yan's words, Lu Bu had already figured out what he wanted. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong's sick son was still there at this moment, so that would be easy
Then, he ignored Wei Yan and slowly stood up in Wei Yan's confusing gaze, walked to the hall, and came to Huang Zhong.
With a gentle wave, the two soldiers pressing Huang Zhong's shoulder bent over and slowly retreated.
Lu Bu walked behind Huang Zhong, personally untied the rope tied to Huang Zhong, walked to Huang Zhong, and held Huang Zhong's arm with a faint smile on his face, helped Huang Zhong up, and said with a smile: "The soldiers under my generals are not polite and neglected General Huang. I hope that General Huang will not blame him!"
Lu Bu's attitude made Huang Zhong feel confused and didn't quite understand what Lu Bu wanted to do. However, as the saying goes, he would not hit people with a smile. Lu Bu's attitude was like this, and Huang Zhong would not be able to give others a look.
However, it is impossible to make Huang Zhong bow down so easily.
Huang Zhong said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Mr. Wen does not have to do this. Mr. Huang is just a defeated general. Now, Mr. Huang just wants to have fun, and hopes Mr. Wen will be successful."
Huang Zhong was not in a position like this. If he were an ordinary nameless general, Lu Bu would have fulfilled him long ago. Not only would he fulfill him, but he would also make him die with a rhythmic sense of death.
But who made the person who was not good at making a famous Huang Zhong in history?
Therefore, Lu Bu didn't bother with him, and smiled and patted the old Huang Zhong on the shoulder, and said kindly in a tone that seemed to be a family-like man with the old man next door.
"It is indeed easy to die, and I can really satisfy the old general with a wave of his hand."
"But, has the old general ever thought about what if the old general dies, what will the son do?"
When he heard Lu Bu mention his son Huang Xu, Huang Zhong looked anxious and said anxiously: "My son Huang Xu was in bed for a long time and could not harm Mr. Wen at all. I hope Mr. Wen will be kind and let my son go."
He couldn't help but worry. After all, Lu Bu's reputation for being tyrannical was there. As soon as he entered Chang'an, he killed more than ten ministers. When he arrived in Xiangyang, he slaughtered the entire family of the Pang family of the Jingxiang clan, and even the famous Jingxiang scholar Pang Degong did not let him go.
Now, it seems like it is a very normal thing for him to kill his son.
"What's the matter with the old general? Although I, Lu Bu, did kill many people, I, was not a bloodthirsty person. What's more, I have long admired the name of General Huang and have always admired General Huang very much. How could I do something like killing the son?"
Huang Zhong was stunned. Since you weren't going to kill me, what do you mean when you mentioned Huang Xu at this time?
Huang Zhong looked confused and asked in confusion: "What does Wen Hou mean?"
Lu Bu said slowly: "I heard that the son was lying on the bed for a long time, and General Huang also looked for medical treatment everywhere for this, but there was no improvement. When General Huang left, even if he ordered the general not to kill the son and sent someone to take good care of him, he would probably not be able to hold on for long."
Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Huang Zhong's eyes. He knew that what Lu Bu said was not false.
Over the years, Huang Xu's situation has naturally been very clear about Huang Xu's father. Not to mention that he is dead, he is still alive. If he can't find someone who can cure his son, if this continues, Huang Xu probably doesn't know how long he can last.
But what can he do? Over the years, his meager salary has been almost all used on Huang Xu, but he has not improved. What can he do?
Huang Zhong sighed, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Lu Bu raised his lips slightly, and he had to launch a psychological attack on Huang Zhong's old stubbornness, which would cause his inner defense to collapse bit by bit.
At this time, Huang Zhong's heart was already desperate, because as Lu Bu said, even if he didn't kill his son and would take good care of him, his sick son might not last long.
Seeing that he had achieved the effect he wanted, Lu Bu no longer wasted his time, and sighed and said, "The Huang family's son Huang Xu's bloodline, how can I bear to see the old general Huang's successor? Well, I will do my best."
"When I come to Japan, I will ask someone to find two miracle doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Even if I search every corner of the world, I will bring them back. With the strength of them, I may be able to cure my son's illness."
"I don't want the surname of General Huang. If the old general is willing to stay and help me quell this troubled times as soon as possible and save the people of the world from the suffering of war, I will naturally welcome you. If the old general doesn't want it, it doesn't matter. The old general can leave on his own. I will still do my best to find these two miracle doctors for the son. Where to go, the old general will make his own choice."
After saying that, Lu Bu turned around, carried his hands on his back and walked towards the hall.
Lu Bu's words were not entirely a fool to Huang Zhong. Even if Huang Zhong was unwilling to surrender to him, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing would still send someone to find him.
Huang Xu's incident made Lu Bu suddenly realize that in this era, the medical level is too low, and people can often die from a small cold or something.
Besides, if you remember correctly, Guo Jia in history seems to have suffered from serious illness, which led to his premature death.
Now, Guo Jia is one of his main strategists. Even if it is just for him, he must prepare in advance.
Moreover, who can guarantee that he is free from illness and disasters? Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are here, and he and his harem have more guarantees when he is sick.
In addition, a school specializing in teaching medicine can be opened, so that the two of them can train a group of talents from the medical field for themselves.
Therefore, even without Huang Xu, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and Lu Bu were going to send someone to find it.
If Huang Zhong was still unwilling to surrender to him in the end, Lu Bu might have let Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing treat Huang Xu, but with Lu Bu's surname, Huang Zhong might not be able to see that day.
In Lu Bu's concept, there are only two types of top military generals like Huang Zhong who fall into his hands, one is his own, and the other is dead.
He did not keep talents for others this bad habit.
When Huang Zhong heard Lu Bu's words, he was immediately moved and burst into tears. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
What he cared most about in his life was his sick son. With his current age, it was obviously impossible to have another child. If Huang Xu died, then his Huang family would be completely defeated.
At that time, what face does Huang Zhong have to meet the ancestors of the Huang family?
Huang Zhong's body trembled slightly excitedly. He looked at the figure who had slowly walked into the hall, and pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar to the ground.
"Mr. Wen's kindness is like a recreation. Huang Zhong, pays homage to his lord, and wishes to follow his lord to death and go through fire and water, and he will never refuse!"
Lu Bu's army repaired in Changsha for several days. During this period, Lu Bu ordered people to summon Xi Zhen from Xiangyang and accepted Xi Zhen as the prefect of Changsha and was responsible for the government affairs of Changsha.
Although Xi Zhen is not as famous as Pang Tong, his talent is no longer inferior to Ma Liang. After Xi Zhen defected to Liu Bei in history, he was recognized by Liu Bei as the prefect of Guanghan.
Therefore, Lu Bu believed that he could manage Changsha well for him. Moreover, recognizing Xi Zhen as the prefect of Changsha can further win over the Xi family.
With so many benefits, Lu Bu has no reason not to use him.
Later, Wei Yan was the vanguard, Huang Zhong was in the rear, and Lu Bu led the central army himself, and all the 30,000 troops under his command were rushed to Lingling.
When the prefect of Lingling Liu Du heard that Lu Bu's army was coming, he quickly summoned his son Liu Xian to discuss.
Liu Xian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my general Xing Daorong in this state is strongly against ten thousand people. He has the courage of ten thousand men to be inappropriate. He will definitely make Lu Bu come and go."
Liu Du was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered Liu Xian and Xing Daorong to lead 10,000 troops and horses thirty miles away from the city, and to lie on the mountain and water to the village, forming a junction with Lingling City, and waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu's army.
A few days later, Lu Bu's army arrived at Lingling. Xing Daorong heard that Lu Bu's army was coming and led the army out in person.
In front of the two armies, Xing Daorong took the mountain-opening axe and pulled out his horse to the formation. He came to the formation and whispered: "How dare you offend me, traitor, how dare you offend me? You won't come out to die!"
Lu Bu sat upright on the horse, pointed at Xing Daorong from a distance, frowned and asked left and right, "Who is this? Is this so rampant?"
Wei Yan lived in Jingzhou for a long time and naturally knew this person. He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "This person is Xing Daorong, the general under the command of the prefect of Lingling Liu Du. It is reported that this person has the courage of thousands of men. The last general has never had a fight with him. I don't know if it is true!"
"oh?"
Lu Bu really had a little impression of the name Xing Daorong. It seemed that when Liu Bei attacked Lingling, Zhao Yun killed this person.
Since he could be stabbed to death by Zhao Yun with one shot, he thought that no matter how strong he was, he would not be much stronger. Then Lu Bu pointed at the horse whip and said, "Who will take this person with me?"
Xu Chu, Hu Cheer, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and other generals beside him clasped their fists, and Lu Bu glared fiercely at Ma Yunlu who was about to pull out the horse without waiting for the order to order the general.
This little girl really doesn't teach her a lesson. If she hadn't had a criminal record, Lu Bu would have focused on her, she would have fought out as before.
Ma Yunlu, who was about to go out of the battle, saw Lu Bu staring at him with a frosty face, quietly put down the reins that had been raised in his hand, and smiled at Lu Bu, "I, you promised me to get on the last time!"
"I was going to let you go, but you actually wanted to go out without waiting for my general order. So, this time, you have nothing to do with me, so stay honestly!"
If it is just a nameless general, let her go.
But Xing Daorong is a military general who made Lu Bu feel a little impression. Although he may not be really stronger than Ma Yunlu, since even Wei Yan heard that this person has the courage to be inappropriate, he would not be too weak.
It would be fine if Ma Yunlu could really take him. If something unexpected happens, even if Xing Daorong is cut alive afterwards, it would be meaningless.
Hearing this, Ma Yunlu was immediately dissatisfied and said angrily: "You are the lord, and you must keep your promises when you say something."
"Since you still know that I am the lord, you should know that you should listen to your lord. If your lord asks you to stay, you will be honest. When it is your turn, you will naturally let you go. If you dare to do something for me again, I will send you back to Chang'an no matter what you say!"
Ma Yunlu's eyebrows were narrowed and glared at Lu Bu viciously: "If you don't go, don't go. Who is willing to go? You can go there yourself in the future!"
After saying that, he turned his head angrily.
She is stupid, but not stupid. Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be really angry, she didn't dare to talk back, for fear that Lu Bu would really send him back to Chang'an!
It was all caused by Xing Dao Rong. If you say you were a top general, it would be fine. Even if you forced this girl to stay, Lu Bu at least has the hope of regaining a top general.
Or you can be just a trash, just let this girl go up and fight you.
But what's going on with you? The somewhat bored Lu Bu's horse whip pointed Xing Daorong from a distance.
"Hansheng, go and chop him up for me!"
The reason why Huang Zhong is used is not to act on the verge of impulse, but to be well thought out.
First of all, with Huang Zhong's strength, it would be no problem to kill Xing Daorong in the formation.
The second reason is that although Huang Zhong first joined him like Wei Yan, Wei Yan brought the key moment to help Lu Bu win the credit for Changsha.
At this time, the other generals under Lu Bu had participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, and they had more or less some of their achievements, but Huang Zhong had not made any achievements.
It is best to distribute opportunities to make meritorious contributions evenly, otherwise those under your subordinates who have been submitting to you for a long time but have no contribution will understand that you do not have the wisdom to recognize others and do not value him.
Although Huang Zhong doesn’t think so, there is one thing: if your subordinates make contributions, you should reward them, right?
If you don’t reward, you will say that you don’t have any clear rewards and punishments. If the reward is all on a certain person, sooner or later it will cause a situation where the master is highly rewarded.
Therefore, as long as your subordinates have the ability, it is best to allocate this opportunity evenly.
Lu Bu, who knows how to use people, naturally would not make the kind of low-level mistake of piled up all his merits on one person, and finally made a reward that would be unappreciated, and personally made a low-level mistake that would shock the master's subordinates.
You should know that no matter how loyal a person is, as long as he reaches that point, he will naturally develop some thoughts that should not have.
Lu Bu doesn't want to raise Sima Yi or Zhao Kuangyin. If such a person appears, Lu Bu will definitely take ruthless action.
