Chapter 452 Farmer and Snake!
Chapter four hundred and fifty second
An Yaluoshan looked terrified, and looked like he was about to cry.
No one can lie in front of Zhang Shougui, in Andong Duhu Mansion, east of Youzhou, anyone who dares to deceive Daduhu is dead!
The Turkic people are fierce and warlike, but in the Northeast of the Tang Dynasty, no matter if they are Turkic people, Xi people, Khitan people or not Goguryeo people, everyone's face turns pale in front of Zhang Shougui, and they are three points in fear.
The same is true for An Yaluoshan and Ashina Qianqian.
This was not because of Zhang Shougui's status, but because of the Anton Guards trained by Zhang Shougui and his thunderous methods!
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In the boundary of Anton, Zhang Shougui's words are far more effective than the emperor!
"Hmph, boy, I don't know what you're talking about."
Hearing An Yaluoshan's words, Zhang Shougui's complexion looked much better:
"However, since Yaluoshan said no, then there must be no! The boundary of the capital, at the foot of the emperor, you actually led people to attack my subordinates. If you can't give me a good explanation for this matter, then don't blame me for being rude. Already!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Zhang Shougui narrowed his eyes, his expression became extremely cold, and a condensed murderous aura burst out of his body, firmly locking Wang Chong.
"Boom!"
A huge thunder flashed across the sky, Zhang Shougui stood under the thunder, his whole body was like a demon god who came out of hell, making people daunting.
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and everyone felt a mountain-like pressure in front of the Anton Chief Protector.
Wang Chong had obviously angered the imperial general, and everyone could feel that things might not go well today.
"Hahaha!"
When everyone was silent, a burst of haha suddenly broke the calm. Wang Chong looked at Zhang Shougui, who was not far away, who made countless people from different races turn pale.
As a human being in his second life, Wang Chong has long been indifferent to life and death. The only thing he cares about is the mission on his shoulders. Zhang Shougui's threat was meaningless to him.
"...Master Zhang, do you know the four words?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Shougui was condescending,
said coldly.
"Headstrong!"
...
As soon as these four words came out, the audience erupted. The expressions of Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, Yinhou, Wei Anfang and others changed dramatically, but the expressions of everyone in Youzhou, including Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, Ashina Gugan, also changed drastically.
In the Anton Protectorate's Mansion, no one dared to talk to the commander-in-chief like that, not a single one! Let alone a living person, even a dead person would not dare.
Wang Chong dared to call Zhang Shougui "self-willed" in front of Zhang Shougui. This kind of thing was something that everyone in Youzhou dared not even think about.
"This kid..."
"How dare you say such a thing in front of the commander-in-chief!"
Even Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen couldn't help but feel a wave of fluctuation in their hearts at this moment.
They didn't know about the feud between Wang Chong and An Yaluoshan, and they didn't want to know. But at this moment, even if they were enemies, the two had to admit that there was a trace of admiration in their hearts.
Those who dare to question the commander in person, except for the one in the deep palace holding the central artifact, the young man in front of him is probably the only one left.
"Hahaha, boy, is this what Wang Jiuling taught you? Do you dare to say it again in front of me?"
A cold light flashed in Zhang Shougui's eyes, and he laughed out of anger.
Since he took the lead, he has always said what he says. Since twenty years ago, not many people dared to speak ill of him to his face.
But now, there is actually a teenage boy who says he is headstrong.
"Young master!"
"Wang Chong, stop talking!"
Yin Hou, Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying and the others tensed up. They walked to Wang Chong's side again and again, trying to dissuade them, all of them showing worried expressions in their eyes.
Although the Anton Protectorate's Mansion is far away from the border, it is extremely far away from the capital. But Zhang Shougui, the guardian of Anton, never lacked people to discuss in the capital.
Although it is rare to see this imperial general, everyone has heard a lot about his legend.
Zhang Shougui has never been a good-tempered person, his methods are overbearing, and he has never been a kind general.
In the empire, in terms of the intensity and cruelty of the methods, Zhang Shougui definitely belongs to the second category.
If it is an enemy, Zhang Shougui is definitely the kind of existence that can make the enemy sleepless at night and have nightmares every day. It was definitely not a wise move for Wang Chong to provoke him.
However, Wang Chong waved his hand and stopped several people. An inexplicable aura emerged from his body, and several people were suffocated in their hearts, unable to speak.
The Wang Chong at this moment is completely different from what everyone imagined.
Although Wang Chong used to have some temper, but in front of several people, he was very respectful and rarely disobedient. Moreover, everyone was older than Wang Chong.
But at this moment, although Wang Chong's appearance has not changed, his every move reveals an awe-inspiring aura that is not angry but powerful.
It didn't look like what a teenage boy from a wealthy family in the capital could have, but it was somewhat similar to Zhang Shougui's aura.
A teenage child, even if he is a little clever, even if he was born in a family of generals, and his vision is much higher than ordinary people, he is absolutely not qualified to speak to a general of the empire like Zhang Shougui, let alone make irresponsible remarks, saying that he is headstrong.
But a legendary "Sage of Soldiers" respected by all in the world at the end of the Middle Earth is absolutely qualified to say this!
Zhang Shougui is not bad!
Like any Han Chinese, he has a patriotism of being loyal and courageous, serving the world, and shrouded in horse leather. He has always done this in the first half of his life.
Whether it was defeating Tupan, Dingding Youzhou, conquering Xi and Khitan, or suppressing the Goguryeo Empire, Zhang Shougui's abilities and actions are beyond reproach.
It's just that people change.
The consecutive victories changed Zhang Shougui. Become extremely conceited, and can't listen to anyone's "disobedient words". When Zhang Shougui was in Anton, even his closest relatives, old friends and partners who had been on the battlefield for decades, dared not say anything that would displease Zhang Shougui.
Zhang Shougui was so arbitrary that in the Anton Governor's Mansion, all government orders, no matter how big or small, came from him alone.
For his own ability, Zhang Shougui had absolute confidence, so that he would not listen to any suggestions.
"Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated", Zhang Shougui was talking about.
The failure of some people is at most a loss in a war, while the failure of some people requires the whole world to bear it.
Zhang Shougui was so confident in his abilities that he completely forgot that he was also a human being, not a god.
It's human beings who make mistakes.
The more outstanding Zhang Shougui was, the more capable he was in leading his troops, and the better he was at fighting, the more serious the consequences he would cause and the greater the disaster he would leave for the empire.
In later generations, countless people once analyzed the rebellion that spread across the world and reached the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty. Several major generals of the rebel army were almost all transferred from Zhang Shougui:
Tian Chengsi governed the army rigorously, and his leading skills were unrivaled in the world. His soldiers ordered and prohibited them, quickly and calmly, and could execute all orders to a heinous level.
In terms of military literacy, the rebel army led by Tian Chengsi even far surpassed the orthodox Datang official army!
However, although the Tian family has been Captain Lu Long for generations, they still don't have such skills.
Tian Chengsi learned the art of leading an army from Zhang Shougui!
Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen not only have high martial arts skills, but also lead the army well, with courage and strategy. If the two are separated, they can stand alone, and together, even the Big Dipper General Ge Shuhan who conquered Uzang will be crushed.
If Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing of the Anxi Protectorate were known as the double walls of the empire, then Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen were no less than the double stars of the rebels!
It's just that the two of them rebelled against the world, no matter how talented they are, they cannot be recorded in the official history.
There is also Cui Xide, a rebel general known as the "Lightning Cavalry", whose ability to command the cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and who is known as "the world will arrive in eight days".
In terms of the ability to command the cavalry, although Sun Zhiming is also known as the general of the surprise attack, but compared with the rebel general Cui Xide, he is as bright as Haoyue. The cavalry marching ability of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
Regardless of whether it was Cui Qianyou, Tian Ganzhen, or Cai Xide, all of them were promoted by Zhang Shougui. And their leading ability, strategy, and tactics are all learned from Zhang Shougui, the guardian of Anxi.
And everyone brings out their own characteristics to the extreme.
This is like an enhanced version of Zhang Shougui with three heads and six arms. No one can underestimate such a "Zhang Shougui".
Zhang Shougui knows how to use people well, he only asks about ability, not about his background. Regardless of Hu Han, as long as he has the ability, he can use them all in one.
So An Yaluoshan and Ashina were supposed to be executed for committing crimes in Youzhou, but Zhang Shougui took a fancy to their talents and took them into the Anton Governor's Mansion.
And An Yaluoshan was fascinated by his ears and eyes, and learned all of Zhang Shougui's style of doing things. Therefore, among the rebels, the senior generals not only have Hu, but also Han.
That's why the rebels have caused such great harm!
It can be said that all the rebel generals who will make things difficult for the world in the future are all Zhang Shougui's "good students", and even the invincible Youzhou rebel army was also trained by Zhang Shougui.
The civil strife that swept across the world in the future, shook the foundations of the entire Tang Dynasty, and pushed China into a land of doom in one fell swoop, although it was caused by An Yaluoshan and Ashina Cuigan.
But going back to the source, the source of everything lies in "Zhang Shougui", the person in front of him.
It was he who single-handedly caused Datang's collapse and demise!
Zhang Shougui is so good!
But this kind of excellence did not benefit the world, but led to the demise of an empire.
This is the real "no guarantee at the end of the festival"!
Wang Chong thought back then that if there was someone who could remind Zhang Shougui, point out his mistakes and tell him that he was a human being and not a god, he would also make mistakes. Then everything might be very different.
It's just a pity that back then, I had no qualifications, no strength, and no chance to stand in front of the competent Anton Chief Protector, let alone say anything in front of him.
Now that everything is over again, I finally got a chance. Even if Zhang Shougui couldn't listen to anything, he still had to say it.
"Master Zhang, have you ever heard of the farmer and the snake?"
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, are you trying to say that you are that snake?"
Zhang Shougui sneered. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Chong was the grandson of Wang Jiuling, Zhang Shougui wouldn't have talked so much to him.
"I just want to tell your lord that farmers make mistakes too!"
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
