General Qin

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.

All the generals looked at the speaker.

Zhao Tuo was also slightly startled, and hurriedly looked for his reputation.

Su Jiao.

The young master of five hundred short soldiers is now with his eyes wide open, his majestic body erect, glaring at the generals in the tent.

Even if the positions of those generals are much higher than him, he is not afraid at all.

"Su Jiao?"

Li Xin's drunken eyes were hazy, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared when he saw the speaker clearly and thought about the content of the words.

"It's the official, please listen to me, general." Su Jiao said proudly.

Li Sheng's expression changed, and he dissuaded his subordinates: "Su Jiao, don't talk nonsense, the general is happy."

Su Jiao glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "The officials don't talk nonsense. They just saw the scene in the tent, and felt resentful, and wanted to vomit quickly. If the general thinks the officials are wrong, just punish them."

Su Jiao's sonorous and powerful voice made many people's faces change.

None of the generals in the tent came here when they were young and hot-blooded, and they all knew what Su Jiao wanted to say.

There was so much flattery in the military camp tonight, who didn't know the harm, and he needed to talk about it?

The reason why they acted like this was that everyone just saw General Li being criticized during the day and felt depressed, so they specially flattered him and flattered him to make the general happy.

Of course, the thought of winning the general's favor is also indispensable.

Don't you see, Zhao Tuo, who is called the general's arm, also flattered him, and was he praised by the general?

Why is there always such a close-eyed person as Su Jiao in this world.

Sure enough, Li Xin lost his smile, squinted his drunken eyes, and said coldly: "Since you want to talk, then go ahead. What did you mean by 'must be captured' just now?"

Su Jiao said in a deep voice: "I have heard Wu Sunzi once said, 'Soldiers are important matters for the country, the land of death and life, and the way of life and death. You must pay attention to it'. When using troops on the battlefield, you should be cautious first. , then there is..."

"That's enough, Su Jiao. How dare you make a noise in this tent, a small five hundred master. The general is a famous general of the country, and the way of using troops is much better than yours. How can you let me teach you!"

Huan Zhao yelled angrily, and the other generals followed suit.

Li Xin raised his hand to stop his subordinates, and then smiled coldly.

"You mean to say that if you insist on leading your troops westward according to the general's idea, you will be in danger of overthrowing the army and killing the general."

Su Jiao was silent.

Li Xin sneered and said: "The art of war is naturally reasonable. But it also depends on what kind of guy Zhao Jia is. A subjugated country, a defeated enemy, and a defeated general in Yishui are no match for our army. Art of war is dead, and people are alive. If you face such a weak The enemy has to shrink back, look forward and look backward, how can he make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

"If in the past Lord Wu An was as timid and timid as you are, how could he raise his Yan Ying, burn Yiling, and make great achievements."

"The general said so."

The generals and schools took the opportunity to agree, and another series of flattery and flattery.

But now that Su Jiao interrupted him, Li Xin was half sober.

Thinking that no matter how beautiful his words were, it was impossible for Wang Jian to let him lead troops to attack Zhao Jia, and those flattering words would be boring to his ears.

"With this battle achievement, my title will definitely go up one more level."

"The next time the king sends troops to destroy the country, I must ask for a master."

"The general's fighting style is too stale and too conservative, so it is difficult to achieve extraordinary achievements. If I am the commander in chief next time, I will lead the chariot and ride, destroy the enemy and destroy the country with the momentum of thunder, and let everyone in the world know that I am a 'flying general' name."

Li Xinxin thought to himself, a smile appeared on his face when he thought of the title "Flying General" given to him by everyone in the army.

This title really fits his personality, and Li Xin likes it very much.

When he was in a good mood, Li Xin looked at the stubborn Su Jiao, and his anger dissipated a lot.

"Su Jiao, go down and inspect the barracks."

"only."

With a blank expression on his face, Su Jiao answered with cupped hands, and turned around under the mocking eyes of the generals.

At that moment, he and Zhao Tuo looked at each other.

"Confucius said that in a city of ten houses, there must be loyalty and trustworthiness."

"In this army camp, apart from a group of sycophants, there are also loyal men like Su Jiao."

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart, he just watched silently and watched everything.

Judging from his contact with Su Jiao, this person's behavior is not the kind of stupid person.

He must be clear about the consequences of directly contradicting Li Xin tonight.

But Su Jiao did it anyway, just because he is an upright person with his own principles and beliefs.

Previously, Su Jiao, as Zhao Tuo's boss, obviously didn't like Zhao Tuo, but he still acted fairly in the assignment of various tasks, and never deliberately embarrassed or provoked Zhao Tuo.

Regarding the giant cannon, after Su Jiao found out that this thing was indeed helpful in breaking the city, he also personally supported it and helped Zhao Tuo persuade the two or five hundred masters who were more superior.

Such a person will not use selfishness to destroy the public, and has a sense of righteousness in his heart. Naturally, he doesn't want to flatter and flatter with these people in the tent.

Even listening to those flattering words made me feel even more uncomfortable. I would rather take the risk of offending all my colleagues and angering Li Xin to express my words.

This kind of person is not necessarily easy to get along with, but it is definitely trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo didn't go back immediately after the banquet, but went to Su Jiao's place.

From this moment to night, there was silence in the barracks.

Only the waning moon is in the sky, and the night wind is blowing gently.

Zhao Tuo saw Su Jiao standing in front of the tent, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the moon.

"Zhao Tuo has met the official."

Su Jiao turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Tuo. He couldn't help but sneered: "Now you are a doctor and you are loved by generals. It is only because there are no vacancies in the army that you are consigned to the position of hundred generals."

"Presumably after tonight's incident, Dr. Zhao will be promoted to five hundred lords in a short time. Why call me a senior official? It's better to call me by my name."

Zhao Tuo smiled awkwardly, seeing Su Jiao taunting him about his title, he knew that the other party must have looked down on what he said in the tent.

Zhao Tuo thought that he wanted to make friends with Su Jiao during his trip, and if Ruokou said that the official would not only make the other party feel harsh, but would also distance the relationship between the two parties.

He hesitated for a while, and then said: "Su Jun misunderstood me, I was in the tent just now, I also hate those who flatter and sycophant."

"Hehe, Dr. Zhao just listened to the general's rhetoric and fell to the ground in a state of intoxication."

"Such wonderful words came from Dr. Zhao. I thought Dr. Zhao was also the kind of flatterer. Now you say you hate that generation, which makes me feel ironic." Su Jiao looked sarcastically.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "That's just some remark. I don't know if Su Jun has ever heard a saying called 'loyal words are against the ear'."

"Loyalty is hard to hear?"

Su Jiao was stunned for a moment, chewing on these words, his face thoughtful.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "I know what Su Jun said in the account just now is for the general's benefit."

"But loyal words are often the most hurtful. For example, in ancient times, Guan Longpang remonstrated with Xia Jie, and Shang Zhibigan remonstrated with Emperor Xin."

"What they say is good advice and good medicine, for the country and the people, what will happen in the end? Have kings like Xia Jie and Di Xin ever listened to it?"

"Throughout the ages, there have been very few people who can listen to other people's honest advice. Most of the advice will not only have no effect, but will even anger the other party for no reason."

Having said that, Zhao Tuo also shook his head with a sigh.

Like Tang Taizong, there are really very few people who can face up to the remonstrance and change their mistakes, and they are rare.

Hearing this, Su Jiao said angrily: "Then based on what you said, do you want me to be a silent person, or like you, to follow those people to flatter and flatter me?"

"I, Su Jiao, absolutely don't want to do such behavior. My man should walk in the world openly, discussing right and wrong, regardless of profit or loss!"

Hearing Su Jiao's strong words, Zhao Tuo nodded secretly.

This man is also a gentleman.

He patiently explained: "Mr. Su misunderstood. My opinion is not to keep silent, or to follow everyone's flattery. It is to choose the right time and the right method when making admonitions, so that we can avoid angering the other party. Under the circumstances, it works.”

"Especially on an occasion like tonight, everyone in the tent is full of flattery, and the general enjoys it. If you choose such a time to speak out and remonstrate, you will not only offend many colleagues, but also anger the general."

"Besides, Su Jun's previous words were too fierce, and he felt quite aggressive. In this case, how do you ask the general to answer?"

"Could it be that the general listens to your words, realizes his mistake of underestimating the enemy, and then admits his mistake to you Su Jun in front of all the generals?"

"ah?"

Su Jiao was stunned, he didn't think so much at the time.

Let the general admit his mistakes in public?

Su Jiao himself knew that this was impossible.

He didn't think too much when he spoke, he just held his breath in his chest, and he panicked if he didn't speak.

Thinking about it now, what Zhao Tuo said was indeed reasonable. Admonishing the general in public will not only be ineffective, but also easy to embarrass people.

Su Jiao couldn't help asking: "Since that's the case, what should we do?"

"We can..."

"You follow me into the account, let's talk about it in detail."

The waning moon was faint, and the barracks was silent.

Zhao Tuo and Su Jiao walked into the tent.

This night, a long talk

Su Jiao's line has also been closed, and the next step is to return to Xianyang.

A new story is about to begin.
