Chapter 1331 Leadership


    It is generally known to everyone that people who wait for rabbits are stupid, but if a person grew up seeing rabbits knocking down tree stumps one after another, this person will also think that waiting for rabbits is stupid. What happened?


    In the Han Dynasty, due to limited conditions, many children died at an early age. Even the families of emperors and generals could not avoid this kind of indiscriminate harm. Children who survived were lucky, and Yuan Shu was one of them, but also It was precisely because of this luck that eventually led to Yuan Shu''s misfortune.


    The Yuan family is the most famous family in the world. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, two people from the Yuan family even squatted in the pit of Sangong at the same time, holding the chancellor''s desk. All appointments and removals of official posts in the world were made by the Yuan family, which meant that When there is a vacancy for a county magistrate or a county magistrate, the final choice of two or three people with the same conditions is a matter of Yuan''s words.


    Under such circumstances, Yuan Shu, who had seen rabbits looking for opportunities to bump into tree stumps since he was a child, formed the belief that all rabbits in the world are like this. They only know how to bump into tree stumps every day, so what''s the problem? ?


    Therefore, when Yuan Shu received the news of Gan Ning''s invasion, he was simply furious.


    "Quickly send Ling Bo Fu to lead the troops to attack Jingxiang!" Yuan Shu patted the table, "Liu Jingsheng was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and was recommended by my uncle. Now he does not want to repay his service and commits the following crime! Such an unfaithful and unjust person, How can you live in this world without shame?"


    Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hands and said: "My lord, where Sun Bofu is... My lord still needs to say more kind words to comfort..."


    Yuan Shu turned his head and said with question marks on his face: "Why?"


    Yan Xiang glanced at Yuan Shu, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, Jiujiang and Lujiang... there must be an explanation after all..."


    ?Yang Hong on the side couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. This Yan Xiang is so bold, he dares to say anything!


    Jiujiang.


    When Yuan Shu asked Sun Ce to conquer Jiujiang, he didn''t know whether it was just a casual comment before the war, or whether he really thought that way at the time. He said that if Sun Ce could conquer Jiujiang, he would make Sun Ce the governor of Jiujiang. For Sun Ce, this was equivalent to That is, he skipped the director level from a young clerk to be directly promoted to department manager.


    Sun Ce was naturally very happy. The department manager was at least a Qianshi, which was equivalent to a monthly salary of over ten thousand. If he did better, it might be twenty to thirty thousand, thirty or forty thousand, so he went there happily, and They really captured Jiujiang, but when they turned around, Yuan Shu said, you, little comrade, are still very good. After research and decision, I am going to give you a trophy package worth fifty yuan, no, eighty yuan. , take a look, there is not only a trophy, but also a certificate, which proves your achievements and is very beneficial to your future career development!


    ?Sun Ce was naturally very happy.


    Yuan Shu changed the topic, but young comrade, you are still young. For this position, you still need to develop your style. Give the opportunity to old comrades, otherwise there will be a lot of discussion in the unit, which will not be good for your future development. You see, it’s not easy for old comrades. They have worked hard for so many years and will retire soon. You are young and have more opportunities...


    ?Sun Ce forced out a smile and said it was okay, the leader has the final say.


    Yuan Shu said, ah, you are such a sensible little comrade. Come, I will reward you with an honorary title of "Humble and Promising", ah, no, it is "Zhechong Xiaowei", and then you will be the outstanding employee of this department. I personally I’ll give you another big red envelope of two hundred yuan!


    ?Then Yuan Shu made Chen Ji the governor of Jiujiang.


    Chen Ji is indeed older, but there are many older people. This is not the main reason, but because Chen Ji is a member of the Chen family in Yingchuan, the father of Chen Qun, and represents a large group of descendants of the Chen family in Yingchuan. So in comparison, the balance is naturally tilted.


    Then Lujiang.


    Yuan Shu asked the Governor of Lujiang to borrow food and grass, but for some unknown reason, the rabbit of the Governor of Lujiang did not take the initiative to hit the tree stump. This made Yuan Shu very angry, so he asked Sun Ce, the leader of his company, to teach the Governor of Lujiang a lesson. When Sun Ce asked what would happen if Lujiang was captured, Yuan Shu said casually, "I''ll give it to you..."


    Sun Ce''s rabbit immediately excitedly bumped into the wooden stake in Lujiang. Sun Ce was stunned and was not killed. Instead, he knocked over the wooden stake in Lujiang. As a result, when Sun Ce excitedly reported the good news to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu said, little comrade is still very effective in fighting. In this way, I commend you as an outstanding worker in the system and let you be a general, "General who killed the bandits". This sounds better and more majestic than the shabby Lujiang Prefect. As for This broken stall in Lujiang still needs experienced veterans to plan and sort it out, and wait two years to give it to you. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?


    Sun Ce rubbed his head, grinned and bared his teeth: "...You are the leader, you have the final say..."


    Then Yuan Shu made Liu Xun, his old subordinate who had been with him for a long time, the governor of Lujiang.


    This is what Yan Xiang was talking about, but Yuan Shu didn''t think it was a problem at all. Didn''t he already give Sun Ce the title of captain or even general? Isn''t this matter already over? Why are you talking about it again? How can young comrades today be so greedy? If everyone has some merit, then they will raise their tails. If they want a salary increase, a professional title, and a position, do they still want the hearts and minds of this unit? How can they do team building?


    Yuan Shu frowned and said impatiently: "How can Bo Fu be an immeasurable person? You should know the importance. There is no need to say more about this matter!" Sun Ce, the rabbit, has bumped into the tree stump twice. He must be used to it. He also explained to him what he was doing. , just direct a tree stump and let him continue to hit it.


    Yan Xiang was about to say more, but Yang Hong glared secretly, changed the subject, and talked about Ji Ling''s unstoppable power in Xuzhou. Yuan Shu''s mood immediately improved a lot, and Xinxinran said that he would wait for Ji Ling''s triumphant return. There will definitely be many awards...


    After leaving the council hall, Yang Hong was extremely dissatisfied and said seriously: "Master Yan, don''t forget your identity! How can you lie in front of the lord?" He didn''t even call Yan Xiang by his professional title, Yang Hong A clear attitude has been expressed. Did you, Yan Xiang, eat Sun Ce''s rice or accept the gift from Sun Ce? Isn''t it right for Yuan Shu to take care of his old comrades? Otherwise, Chief Yan, you can show your style and give up your position as chief secretary?


    Yan Xiang sighed, cupped his hands towards Yang Honggong, and remained speechless.


    Seeing Yan Xiang like this, Yang Hong said nothing, waved his sleeves, and left first.


    Yan Xiang looked up at the sky. The sky was foggy. Although it was daytime, the sun could not be seen. The clouds were thick but not thick, just covering them up, which made people feel a little bored and aggrieved...


    ……………


    "Blind Xiahou is here... hurry up, hurry up..." Several middle-level non-commissioned officers on the street quickly dispersed when they saw Xiahou Dun''s figure from a distance. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were both in the army, and both were generals. In order to distinguish them, Lieutenant General Xiahou Dun called him blind Xiahou. Of course, they were all called behind his back, as if no employee dared to call the leader to his face. Like a bald donkey, even though the leader''s head is brighter than a light bulb.


    Xiahou Dun has become more and more irritable in the past two days. This is not a secret in the military camp. After all, in the military camp, in addition to training, there is also training. Occasionally, gossip about the superiors and other information will naturally spread very quickly.


    Xiahou Dun was injured during the Battle of Puyang. He was accidentally hit by a stray arrow. It had nothing to do with Cao Xing. There was no such thing as pulling out his eyeball and eating it. He just stabbed the vitreous body of his left eye and became blind. .


    ? People who are suddenly blind will naturally become irritable. Therefore, no bronze mirror is set up in Xiahou Dun''s army. If Xiahou Dun sees it, he will smash the bronze mirror to the ground to vent his anger.


    Xiahou Dun had just returned from Xun Yu''s place, and he was holding back his anger. He originally hoped that Xun Yu would speak up and help Cao Cao say a few good words in front of Cao Cao and regain the military power to command the army, but Xun Yu did not agree.


    ??Although Xiahou Dun has now been named the prefect of Chenliu and his official position is General Jianwu, which is not bad for this position of power, Xiahou Dun hopes that he can return to the army and fight on the battlefield again.


    Isn’t it just that one eye is blind?


    I still have one good eye!


    ??The injury was not healed before, but now it is healed. Besides, I have not yet sought revenge from Lu Bu. How could I just leave the army and do some farming? Xiahou Dun walked back to his mansion angrily, but when he raised his head, he saw Dian Wei.


    Dian Wei was originally Zhang Miao''s subordinate, but Zhang Miao did not take Dian Wei seriously. During the anti-Dong alliance, Zhang Miao was recruiting soldiers in Chenliu. Dian Wei happened to kill an enemy and was wanted, so he joined the army and became subordinate to Zhang Miao''s army commander Zhao Chong. It is said that during the period of Jujube, one day a strong wind blew the Yamen flag to its side, and a few soldiers could not hold it up. Then Dian Wei went up and held the Yamen flag with one person. Zhao Chong was greatly surprised and sighed at Dian Wei. His strength is extraordinary...


    ?Hmm, it’s just surprise and exclamation.


    ?Later, Zhang Miao broke with Cao Cao and sent soldiers to prepare for a surprise attack on Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao suspected that Dian Wei was a prisoner. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he followed Xiahou Dun to conquer Lu Bu. He showed bravery and was immediately promoted to army commander. Later, he was promoted to the captain of Zhechong due to his meritorious service. Cao Cao liked Dian Wei''s bravery and made Dian Wei the captain of his personal guard.


    So since Dian Wei is here, naturally Cao Cao is also here.


    Xiahou Dun hesitated for a moment, and then asked Dian Wei, "How long has it been since my lord has been here?"


    Dian Wei opened the courtyard door and said: "I have just arrived... My lord has an order. There is no need to notify General Xiahou when he comes... General Xiahou has invited..."


    Xiahou Dun nodded, patted Dian Wei''s thick arm, then turned around and told his guards: "Let me go to the backyard to find some jars of good wine, and bring them to brother Dian later... It doesn''t matter, it''s not worth a lot of money. Just say it was given by me... My lord will still give me this bit of face..."


    Dian Wei touched his head, laughed, and said, "Okay! You''re welcome! Thank you, General Xiahou!"


    Xiahou nodded, entered the courtyard, and walked through the corridor. He saw Cao Cao standing in the patio of the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking up at a crabapple in the courtyard. He seemed to have heard Xiahou Dun''s footsteps, and said: "Yuan Rang, this tree is growing well. Do you take special care of it on weekdays?"


    Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment and looked at the crabapple in the yard. Is this a good-looking flower? But soon Xiahou Dun shook his head and said truthfully: "Never... This is how it is..."


    ??Cao Cao laughed, nodded, turned around and said, "Yes, good materials will always grow better, even if there is no special care..."


    Xiahou Dun was silent for a moment and said, "My lord, do you mean that I am no longer a good material?"


    ??Cao Cao laughed and said: "Why is Yuan Rang dissatisfied with Wen Ze? Why does it sound so resentful..."


    Xia Houdun raised his hands and said, "It''s not that he''s dissatisfied, but...the military is the most important thing for the country and should not be given lightly...Now I just hate that Dun is incompetent and can''t worry about the Lord..."


    ??Cao Cao came over, grabbed Xiahou Dun''s arm, led him into the hall, and said, "Did Yuan Rang say that I will let Commander Wen Ze go south?"


    Wenzhou means prohibition. He was originally Bao Xin''s subordinate. After Bao Xin''s death, he followed Cao Cao. Over the years, he also conquered east and west and made a lot of achievements. This time, he served as Xia Houyuan''s follow-up support force and went south to conquer Yuan Shu. Of course, compared with Xia Hou, Yu Jin is naturally a person with a foreign surname.


    ?Previously, either Cao Cao or Xia Hou commanded the army, but this time, it was the first time that Cao Cao handed over military power to a general with a foreign surname, allowing the general with a foreign surname to lead the army alone...


    "Go get some drinks and prepare some food. I want to have a good drink with Yuan Rang!" Cao Cao waved his hand and asked the attendants to leave and get ready. Then he looked at Xiahou Dun and said, "The government and the opposition are in turmoil, and I can''t get away. …If Wen Ze is not allowed to lead the army, which one is more suitable?”


    Xiahou Dun straightened his back subconsciously. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Cao Cao, "You can''t do it either... It''s not that you are injured, but there are more important things now..."


    ??Cao Cao continued to say slowly, "... Regardless of the surname... Is the talent of Wen Zhi worthy of use?"


    Xiahou Dun was silent and nodded after a moment.


    "Isn''t this right?" Cao Cao said with a smile, "If people make full use of their talents and materials are put to good use, the country can be prosperous and secure! Nowadays, there are so many things, how can we do everything by ourselves? We always have to let go..."


    "But..." Xiahou Dun frowned, "This military power...if..." Xiahou Dun hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Cao, but still did not say anything.


    Cao Cao knew what Xiahou Dun meant, so he said with a smile: "If you treat someone with sincerity, you will naturally repay him with sincerity... Yuan Rang is too worried... Come, this time, in addition to having two drinks with Yuan Rang, there is also a The matter is of great importance. After much thought, only Yuan can take on this important task..."


    "My lord, please give me your orders!" Xiahou Dun straightened his back and responded loudly.


    Cao Cao said: "The three armies have not moved, and food and grass have gone first. But now Yanzhou is first affected by the locust plague, and then the war. Countless cultivated fields have been destroyed and need to be restored... The day before yesterday, a new man was hired, who is good at farming and mulberry farming. A certain person wants to implement the method of farming in Yanzhou. In order to relieve the worry of troops and food, this is a matter of life and death for the whole army. I wonder if Yuan Rang is willing to help someone and take charge of the field? "


    “This…” Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment.


    ?This is completely opposite to his original idea. He originally wanted to return to the battlefield, but the result was good. He put down his sword and gun and picked up a hoe...


    "Everyone in the government and the public is a mediocre person and should not be entrusted with big things..." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and continued, "Only Yuan Rang is of the same mind as me... If Yuan Rang is not willing, I will have to find someone else, but..."


    When Xiahou Dun heard this, he didn’t think much about it. He raised his hands and said decisively: "I am willing to be driven by my lord!"
