Xuande

Chapter 10 Zhang Jiao Is Not a Good Doctor
Facts have proved that Liu Bei's choice is correct.

Only by participating in this death game can he truly break through the ceiling of the powerful landlord, enter the real high-level of the Han society, and then gain the current series of power and status.

From the age of 15 to 19, four years have passed, and I dare not talk about the entire Zhuo County, but in Zhuo County, Liu Xuande is already the number one player who can say nothing.

Even Gongsun Zan, if he had disagreements with Liu Bei on practical issues, would generally not stick to his own views, because Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's true disciple, and Liu Bei's weight in the future had clearly surpassed Gongsun Zan's.

And Gongsun Zan is also quite ambitious.

He is not reconciled to just becoming a big man at the county level, he also wants to go to Luoyang, stand on a higher stage and dance, so that the Liaodong Gongsun clan who looked down on him at the beginning will be ashamed and regretful, and then in front of him Flattery.

He has a strong desire for it.

He wants to stand out!

He's going to crook his mouth and give him a wicked smile!
But he himself didn't have a way to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang. He failed to become Lu Zhi's disciple, so he needed Liu Bei, and he needed Liu Bei very much.

Therefore, after learning about the looting of Su Shuang's horses, he did nothing, because Liu Bei said that this matter was left to Liu Bei to solve by himself.

Gongsun Zan admired this little brother who had surpassed him in actual status with a trace of jealousy in it.

But he also knew that he couldn't be jealous.

Some things, some choices, missed is missed.

If it was me who stood at the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion for three months and didn't leave, if I was the one who begged Lu Zhi to go to Jiujiang County together, if I was the one who saved Lu Zhi's life and almost died from three arrows... …

Maybe everything will be completely different now.

But what's the point of thinking about it now?

Gongsun Zan could only sigh, a deep sigh.

On the second day, Liu Bei reorganized all his troops and headed to Cheng Dazhi's stockade with hundreds of young and strong soldiers who were fully armed and loyal to him, along with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ji Jian.

Cheng Dazhi is Liu Bei's old opponent and old friend.

Liu Bei was famous in Zhuo County when he was not yet prosperous. Later, Liu Bei became famous and gradually overwhelmed Zhuo County, eliminating many disobedient forces. Cheng Dazhi was also beaten by Liu Bei.

However, Cheng Dazhi was not dealt with, because he got on the way of several powerful families in Zhuo County and became a channel for them to operate illegal trade.

Liu Bei took into account the opinions of those families, so he didn't do anything to Cheng Dazhi.

But for a long time, Cheng Dazhi has been very polite to Liu Bei, even respectful, and dare not harm Liu Bei's interests at all, so Liu Bei can't afford to provoke him.

But this time it was Cheng Dazhi who crossed the line. If he didn't know what to do, Liu Bei would not let him go. If those local tyrant families in Zhuo County had any objections to this, Liu Bei would not be afraid of them.

There are people above me, are there people above you?

The result of the matter did not exceed Liu Bei's expectations.

Liu Bei came to the base of Cheng Dazhi's stockade with hundreds of young and strong armed men, just showing off his muscles so brightly, as long as Cheng Dazhi was not blind, he would know Liu Bei's determination.

So Cheng Dazhi, accompanied by a smiling face, went down the mountain to greet Liu Bei in person with a smile, and invited Liu Bei to the cottage to have a talk.

Liu Bei took Zhang Fei with him and asked Guan Yu and Ji Jian to stay at the foot of the mountain as a deterrent, so he went up the mountain and entered Cheng Dazhi's stockade, where he saw the hundred horses that Cheng Dazhi had looted.

"I didn't know that you were the one to come forward in this matter before. In fact, you don't need to come forward in person. As long as you send someone to tell me, I will naturally return the horses in full. I dare not make any difference."

Cheng Dazhi was completely respectful in front of Liu Bei, and even felt a little humble. He was obviously very afraid of this local tyrant who ruled Zhuo County.

Liu Bei stroked the mane of a fine horse, and glanced sideways at Cheng Dazhi.

"Tell me honestly, who asked you to do this thing? I think with your prudence, you shouldn't do such a thing that easily provokes me. It doesn't matter if you have three or five horses. Who can swallow a hundred horses at a time?" Do you have to take this breath? You are courting death."

Cheng Dazhi's expression froze, and he smiled sarcastically.

"Actually, when this incident happened, I was not in the village. The people who stayed in the village were ignorant and made mistakes on their own. I have dealt with this matter after I came back."

"How did you deal with it?"

"Bring people up."

Cheng Dazhi gave instructions to the people around him, and then a guy who was beaten all over his body and was half dead was brought over and thrown in front of Liu Bei.

"Li Damu?"

Liu Bei knew this man. This man was Cheng Dazhi's second-in-command. He didn't know his name, but because of his big eyes, people on Zhuo County Road called him Li Damu.

Since Cheng Dazhi started this business, Li Damu has been by Cheng Dazhi's side and is Cheng Dazhi's indispensable right-hand man.

"Cheng Dazhi, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Liu Bei sneered and said, "Damu Li, he is not sensible? If he is not sensible, wouldn't all the hundreds of people in your cottage be idiots?"

"this matter……"

Cheng Dazhi pursed his lips and bowed his head in silence for a while, Shaoqing raised his head again, and said with a sneering smile: "This matter is really not what I want, Li Damu made the decision without authorization, I can't keep this person, and I leave it to you to deal with. If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Dazhi for a while.

"It's not that he is ignorant, he should be disobedient. Cheng Dazhi, your mind is still clear, so I advise you, don't get too close to people in Taipingdao. Whoever has a future and who has no future, you Maybe you can’t tell the difference, but I can tell you clearly that Taiping Road has no future.”

Cheng Dazhi raised his head in astonishment, and stared at Liu Bei in disbelief.

"you……"

"Taiping Taoist's idea is good. The big man is indeed seriously ill, but Zhang Jiao is not capable of being a doctor."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Marching and deploying troops, using troops to fight, communicating from top to bottom, sending messages, setting up camps, logistics scheduling, personnel placement, planning and execution...these are all professional and must be learned. Zhang Jiao has never received such education, let alone such experiences.

Special things should be done by professionals. Confucius said a long time ago that there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the art. Go forward, if someone trips you, you are lucky if you don't fall to your death. "

Cheng Dazhi swallowed.

"You know all about it?"

"What do I know? I don't know anything, all I know is that if you do this, it's still a precipice."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Dazhi's shoulder: "I'll take Li Damu away, I can help you suppress this matter, but how to go in the future, Cheng Dazhi, you have to think carefully, think seriously, don't do it Let go of a decision you regret.

You and I are the same people. It is not easy to climb from bottom to top. I know your hardships, and you know mine. It is because of this that I don’t want to see you so broken, understand? "
