Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 247: Ju Shou: Only if you live long enough and follow the right people can you be remembered in history

After the rewards were given according to the merits, the morning meeting was disbanded.

Zhang Sui took a few servants to collect money, food and cloth.

After registering, Zhang Sui asked several servants to deliver ten percent of the money, food and cloth to his residence.

Zhang Sui had the rest of the money, food, and cloth sent to the military camp and distributed among his 1,000 cavalrymen.

Although he has always admired the relationship between generals and soldiers like that of General Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty.

However, in this era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, that kind of relationship between generals and soldiers is not realistic.

Nowadays, the most realistic relationship is to ensure that all soldiers have food and drink.

Otherwise, not only will the soldiers easily accumulate anger, but once the city is captured in the future, it will be unlikely that they will be ordered to obey orders and not massacre the people in the city.

The reason is simple.

People eat for food.

Since the generals could not give rewards to their soldiers, they could only rob them themselves.

He let these soldiers understand that if they followed him as their general, he would share any rewards with them. Then, after conquering the city, he ordered them not to massacre the people and to strictly abide by the law, and only then would these soldiers obey.

Because, if they have made merit, the soldiers know that their generals will give them hope.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Sui took 10% of the reward, which was enough for his whole family to eat and drink to their heart's content.

Plus the salary.

Zhang Sui didn't worry about the food and drink for the people in his mansion at all.

After watching his servants deliver 90% of the money, food and cloth to the military camp, Zhang Sui also prepared to go back.

But someone called him.

He was a minor official in the government office.

The clerk in the government office said, "The Lord wants you to go to the governor's residence to discuss something."

Zhang Sui then responded and asked his servants to deliver his share of money, food and cloth to his residence, while he went straight to the governor's mansion.

What Zhang Sui didn't notice was that not far away, two figures were staring at him quietly.

One of them was the military supervisor Ju Su.

One is Xi Zhicai.

After Zhang Sui left, Ju Su called the clerk who was distributing supplies from the treasury and asked him about Zhang Sui's arrangements.

The clerk repeated Zhang Sui's words.

Ju Su glanced at Xi Zhicai, whose face was abnormally pale, and sighed, "The young general is a disciple of Ding Yuan and Tian Feng, and he is also the legitimate son-in-law of the lord."

"At such a young age, he is still so considerate of the soldiers."

"He has the talent of a flying general, Li Guang."

Xi Zhicai seemed not to have heard Ju Shou's words.

However, he was actually a little restless in his heart.

Although he respected Cao Cao very much.

However, he knew in his heart that Yuan Shao was an untouchable figure for Cao Cao.

Plus the fortune that Zhang Sui had told him before.

Xi Zhicai felt extremely heavy in his heart.

After a while, he bowed to Ju Su and said, "Military Supervisor, I have to go back now. See you later!"

As Ju Shou saw Xi Zhicai off, he said, "Zhicai, you are young but very talented. I really want to talk to you again."

"But since you want to leave, I can't force you."

"Just, you have to take care of yourself."

"The young general told you your fortune before. Even if you don't take it seriously, you still have to take care of your body."

“Only if you can survive can you go further in the future.”

"I also think Cao Gong has the potential to be a local overlord."

"But, at present, Cao Gong has not yet reached that level."

"If you, Zhicai, had died before Cao Gong became a local overlord, I'm sorry to say that, but there would be no record of you in history books."

"What are we all working so hard for?"

"It's nothing more than power, fame and fortune."

"I can't remain unknown." "Just like Emperor Guangwu of our dynasty, the world only knows about the 28 generals of Yuntai, but how many people know about the staff before Emperor Guangwu rose to power?"

"Let's not talk about others."

"When Emperor Guangwu started the rebellion, his elder brother Liu Yan was his greatest supporter."

"It can even be said that Liu Yan paved the way for Emperor Guangwu to ascend the throne."

"However, Liu Yan died on the way to the summit."

"If Liu Yan hadn't died, do you think Emperor Guangwu would have been able to ascend to the throne?"

"Even if Liu Yan made indelible contributions to Emperor Guangwu's ascension to the throne, how many years have passed? How many people still remember Liu Yan's great achievements?"

"Not to mention Emperor Guangwu, even the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are more famous than him."

Ju Su stopped, shook his head and sighed, "A few days ago, the government promoted a few young clerks, and I asked them about Liu Yan. As a result, eight out of ten people didn't know who he was!"

"Only if a person lives long enough and chooses the right lord can he be remembered in history."

Xi Zhicai glanced at Ju Shou, took a deep breath, bowed, and then turned and left.

Ju Shou looked at Xi Zhicai disappearing from his sight in the carriage and laughed.

Cao Cao is indeed a hero of the world.

However, this person is too utilitarian.

He will only pay special attention to those who can be used.

He will stay away from things that he cannot use temporarily.

Now that Xi Zhicai has returned, I believe he will start to pay attention to recuperating his body.

By then, Xi Zhicai would most likely be ridiculed.

The opportunity has come.

Cao Cao will definitely be a powerful enemy of the lord in the future.

Every chess piece deployed now may become a sharp weapon to block Cao Cao in the future.

Then Zhang Sui rushed directly from the government office to the governor’s residence.

When I entered the hall, I saw Yuan Shao sitting in the center of the hall, at the first seat, with a sad face.

In the hall, there were Shen Pei, Xun Chen, Xu You, and the third son Yuan Shang.

No one spoke at first.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming, Yuan Shao raised his head and motioned Zhang Sui to find a seat and sit down.

Zhang Sui glanced at the few people and finally sat down next to Xun Chen.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Sui and a hint of surprise flashed across his mind.

Zhang Sui was a disciple of Deputy Governor Tian Feng.

The reason why he agreed to marry his third daughter to Zhang Sui was that his deputy Tian Feng also made great efforts.

Doesn’t Zhang Sui know that Xun Chen is working against the deputy driver Tian Feng?
Xun Chen glanced at Zhang Sui.

Although he himself didn't like Zhang Sui very much.

Even though he was a disciple of Ding Yuan and Tian Feng, it could not wash away the fact that he was a farmer's son.

However, he was still somewhat surprised by Zhang Sui's proactive approach.

However, he did not give Zhang Sui a good look. He just glanced at Zhang Sui indifferently and then continued to drink his tea with his head down.

Yuan Shao smiled and asked Zhang Sui, "Bocheng, are you familiar with Youruo?"

Youruo is Xun Chen's courtesy name.

Zhang Sui shook his head and said, "We have met several times before, but we don't have any friendship in private."

Zhang Sui also guessed what Yuan Shao meant by this, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "It doesn't really matter where I sit."

"I am just a military commander."

"Besides, I don't have any relatives now."

"When Mi'er and I get married, the people closest to me will be Mi'er and the general."

"Any minister is your helper, General."

"I can't be so narrow-minded and get into conflicts with people everywhere, thus hindering the general's great cause."
