Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1746: The Thirty-Seven Stratagems: Asking for Punishment with a Thorn on the Back, Zhao Kuangyin and Lian Po's Internal Dispute

Speaking of which, Zhang Junyi suffered some physical hardships during this trip.

However, it is indeed not a loss.

After all, Zhang He's trip not only achieved his goal.

Moreover, he was very lucky to trigger an achievement.

All in all, for Zhang He, he actually made a lot of money from this business.

For anyone, being able to achieve something is something that can only be encountered by chance!
The achievement reward is also the best opportunity for them to improve their abilities! After all, it is much safer than experiencing life and death on the battlefield!

It’s a pity that his achievement is destined to be wasted!

"Ding, Zhang He has completed the achievement of "Bearing a Branch to Apologize". Since Zhang He is the fourth person to complete this achievement, he cannot receive the reward."

Among the five best generals, not to mention Yu Jin and Le Jin who are temporarily missing, among Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Xu Huang, Zhang He's progress is indeed the slowest.

Compared with the rest of the people who were forging ahead bravely, Zhang He could be considered a veteran on the battlefield. However, over the years, due to his personality, he had made no progress at all.

I finally triggered an achievement, but I didn't even catch the last train for this achievement.

Before him, three people had already triggered this achievement.

The first one is naturally Xiang Yan of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Of course, the grass on this person’s grave is now three feet high.

The second one is Tao Qi, who served as a county magistrate in the Daqian Dynasty.

This person is a typical representative of being shrewd and scheming!

His appearance also means that in the original historical trajectory, the super strategist who was one of Xiao Ping'an's most relied upon right-hand men and also his black glove has finally arrived.

Of course, along with him, there also arrived the general that Xiao Ping'an would rely on the most in the future. In fact, in general, he could even be said to be Xiao Ping'an's number one general.

These two people were originally tied together.

However, considering the time, this future top general still seems to be a little young.

Tao Qi, his reputation in the Daqian Dynasty is not bad, but in fact it is not much better!

Daqian was born in a poor family and ranked third in the imperial examination. When he was young, he was filled with righteous indignation. As a mere county magistrate, he was imprisoned three times in order to expose the corruption and abuse of power of his superiors who exploited the people. For this, he resigned from his official position and was imprisoned for seven years. In prison, he suffered torture and experienced life and death several times.

When he is released from prison, how can he regain his youthful vigor?
However, despite this, he still has the same ambition as before.

Enter the imperial capital, ring the golden bell, and file a complaint with the emperor. But how can a commoner bring down a house full of dignitaries?
Ironically, three years later, when he unexpectedly became the son-in-law of the prime minister, he finally had the opportunity to bring the county magistrate to justice.

What’s even more ironic is that the county magistrate is the favorite student of the current prime minister and one of the local backbones of the prime minister’s party.

He used to be high-spirited and not greedy for money or power. He just wanted to uphold justice for the people. However, he had seen too many injustices and was gradually smoothed over by the officialdom.

But even so, in the Daqian officialdom, Tao Qi never embezzled any money, never took a Yunmeng fish, and even the clothes under his official uniform had holes. He was unable to realize his ideals, and now he can only take care of himself because his integrity has been worn away.

Therefore, the son-in-law of the prime minister of the dynasty, who was almost at the age of knowing the destiny, was still just a mere county magistrate.

Xiao Ping'an was born in the county governed by Tao Qi when he was the county magistrate. That year, the 20-year-old Tao Qi went to the government office for the third time to sue his superiors. The 15-year-old Xiao Ping'an and seven brothers from the same hometown single-handedly protected him and experienced life and death several times along the way.

In order to persuade Tao Qi to help him, Xiao Ping'an went to the meeting alone, and rekindled Tao Qi's dead heart and the integrity that had almost been wiped out.

With Tao Qi's help, Xiao Ping'an took the county almost without bloodshed with only 500 personal guards.

However, the good times did not last long. General Yu Chong of the Daqian Dynasty led 50,000 troops to attack. Tao Qixing pretended to be a prodigal son and tricked Yu Chong into the city. When Yu Chong entered the city, the heavy weight on the city gate suddenly fell, isolating Yu Chong's 50,000 troops outside the city.

Several years later, the great military strategist Tan Daoji wrote the military book "Thirty-Seven Strategies", in which the strategy of carrying a thorn stick on one's back to ask for forgiveness was listed at the top and became the last strategy among the Thirty-Seven Strategies.

"Tao Qi completed the achievement of "Carrying a Thorn to Apologize", and was rewarded with a permanent increase of 1 in two random attributes. Tao Qi's basic intelligence value permanently increased by 1, and basic political value permanently increased by 1. Tao Qi's current basic attributes permanently increased to"

"Xiao Ping'an completes the achievement of attending a meeting alone, and is rewarded with a permanent increase of one in two random attributes. Xiao Ping'an's basic intelligence value is permanently increased by one, and his basic command value is permanently increased by one. Xiao Ping'an's current basic attributes are permanently increased to"

Although both of them completed achievements, Xiao Ping'an's reward was not as good as Guan Yu's. After all, Guan Yu had already completed the achievement of attending a meeting alone once before. He was the first person to trigger this achievement, and Xiao Ping'an was just eating Guan Yu's leftovers.

The third person is Lian Po, the person who achieved this in history.

However, this time, the person to whom Lian Po asked for forgiveness was not Lin Xiangru, but someone else. To be more precise, it was Zhao Kuangyin.

Lian Po's implanted identity was a friend of Zhao She and Zhao Sheng, and although the Guanxi Lian family was not a top-tier wealthy family, it was definitely not a small family either.

When Lian Po first joined the army, because of the relationship between Zhao She and Zhao Sheng, his starting point was not low.

And when he joined the army, he happened to run into Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin, father and son, who were dealing with Prince Jing.

During the war, it was the best opportunity for these famous generals.

Lian Po's first battle after coming out of seclusion, although he was already quite old, he still showed his talent in the first battle. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Changfeng adopted the strategy of avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, using a small force to attract the enemy's main force, but the real main force took a detour.

Although the people on Prince Jing's side discovered the conspiracy of Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin at the last moment, they decisively mobilized their troops and turned back to intercept the main force of the Zhenxi Army.

As a last resort, Li Yuan, the Zhenxi general and the commander of the so-called small force, could only stand in front of the enemy and buy time for Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin and his son.

However, Li Yuan, a fierce general of Zhenxi, was good at attacking but not at defending. In just one day, his defense line was almost broken through, and he himself was even injured during the battle.

At the critical moment, Lian Po took over the command. With an absolutely inferior force, he fought bloody battles for ten days and ten nights and blocked the main force of the enemy for ten days and ten nights.

This battle also gave Zhao Changfeng and Zhao Kuangyin, father and son, enough time to capture eight enemy cities in a row in the absence of the enemy's main force, thus opening a bridgehead for their attack on Prince Jing.

After this battle, Lian Po's name began to be known in the Zhenxi Army. In addition, the clan general Zhao Sheng pushed him hard, and even Zhao She, who was stationed outside, did not forget to write a letter to recommend Lian Po. Therefore, Zhao Changfeng promoted him specially. Even if his merits were only enough to be promoted by one level, he was promoted by half a level.

After this, Lian Po made even more achievements.

Lian Po was a person who quickly emerged and was promoted to a certain position in the Zhenxi Army, just like Li Jing and Yue Fei on Wang Yu's side. Whether it was Lian Po, Li Jing or Yue Fei, compared to Han Xin, they were actually only inferior to people like Chu Xizhao and Huangfu Yue.

Of course, it's not easy to find a stepping stone of this level. Moreover, if it really appears, it's not certain who will be the stepping stone for whom! Facing figures like Chu Xizhao and Huangfu Yue, which of these people dare to pat their chests and say that they are sure to win?

When dealing with Chu Xizhao, although Han Xin was the main force, Yang Su and Xuanyuan Huang also contributed a lot. At least, these three people had taken turns to compete with Chu Xizhao in terms of physical strength and energy.

Even so, Han Xin remained on the battlefield, using Chu Xizhao's son to distract Chu Xizhao's mind, which led to the final victory.

Lian Po quickly became famous in a short period of time and climbed to a certain position in the Zhenxi Army. Because of his relationship with Zhao She, he offended Zhao Kuangyin several times.

It's not that Zhao She and Zhao Kuangyin had a grudge against each other, it's just that the relationship between Zhao She and Zhao Kuangyi had always been unharmonious, and Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi were born from the same mother. Among the Zhenxi scholars, these two people had the closest relationship and were completely different people.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhao She and Zhao Kuangyin became somewhat stiff.

However, all this, in the final analysis, was a matter between Zhao She and Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao She had no dissatisfaction with Zhao Kuangyin, and was even somewhat optimistic about him.

However, Lian Po, who had just arrived, was not aware of the inside story, which was why he openly offended Zhao Kuangyin. He did not care at all that there was at least a 70% probability that Zhao Kuangyin would be the future Lord of Zhenxi.

However, Zhao Kuangyin did not pay any attention to these, but continued to treat them with courtesy.

Afterwards, Shi Shouxin and other determined generals sent by Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make trouble for Lian Po, but they were stopped by Zhao Kuangyin in time. Zhao Kuangyin persuaded Shi Shouxin and others that Lian Po was an elder he should respect, and even if there was any misunderstanding, the younger generation should not be rude to the elders!

Furthermore, Lian Po is the pillar of the army. If they are at odds with each other at this time, it will only make their loved ones sad and their enemies happy.

So, even if he was wronged for a while, what could he do? There would always be a suitable opportunity in the future to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them!
When these words reached Lian Po's ears, he suddenly had a new understanding of Zhao Kuangyin, and he felt even more ashamed.

Although Lian Po was over 40 years old, he was still brave enough to take responsibility for his actions, so he asked for forgiveness from Zhao Kuangyin in front of everyone in the camp.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is not the leader of the Zhenxi Army yet, there is at least a 70% chance that he will be the next leader of the Zhenxi Army. He is definitely not an emperor, let alone a complete lord, but he is at least half a lord.

"Lian Po completes the achievement of "Carrying a Thorn to Ask for Sins", and is rewarded with a permanent increase of one of his attributes. Lian Po's basic command value is permanently increased by one. Lian Po's current basic attribute is permanently increased to
Reward Zhao Kuangyin with two random attributes permanently increased by one, Zhao Kuangyin's basic force value permanently increased by one, basic intelligence value permanently increased by one, and Zhao Kuangyin's current basic attributes permanently increased to "

All three people achieved the same accomplishment of asking for forgiveness while carrying a thorn stick on their backs. However, only in the case of Lian Po, two people also received rewards.

Or others, whether it was Tao Qi or Wang Yu, did not receive rewards like Lian Po and Zhao Kuangyin.

As for Tao Qi, that person is already dead, there is no need to discuss him anymore!
As for Wang Yu, it was simply Zhang He who was asking for forgiveness, but Wang Yu did not cooperate with Zhang He like Zhao Kuangyin cooperated with Lian Po.

Zhao Kuangyin needed him to ease the relationship with Lian Po. After all, he was only half the lord, not the full lord. Moreover, the Zhenxi Army needed such a rising star.

But it was different for Wang Yu. When his subordinates made a mistake, he would deal with it accordingly. There was no need to kneel down and lick their boots. Of course, it was also because Zhang He himself was not qualified to do so.

He used both kindness and severity. He gave him a sweet date to show his kindness, but he also gave him a stick after he made a mistake, and the necessary severity was absolutely necessary. Zhang He knelt for two hours under the scorching sun, which was Wang Yu's stick to him.

In fact, this time, Zhang He was a little too clever for his own good.

The cost of attacking such a small city was seriously disproportionate to the results.

Wang Yu was naturally somewhat angry about this.

As for the subsequent massacre of prisoners, Luowang had also reported on it, and Wang Yu knew the whole story.

Zhang He was indeed responsible, but it was more of a responsibility for not governing his subordinates strictly. The person who should bear the main responsibility for this incident is Wang Jiulong, the main actor in this incident.

Speaking of Wang Jiulong, relying on the combined skills of his brothers, he has killed many generals on the battlefield in recent years. Although he is not a world-famous figure, he has killed many heaven-level enemy generals. Generally speaking, he is also a figure who has made many achievements in killing generals.

Moreover, they are from the same family.

However, this character is a bit cruel and does not regard the lives of the lower class as human lives.

Although Zhang He had some responsibility for these two problems, what really made Wang Yu angry was that this guy was too cunning and actually abandoned his troops and came back to ask for forgiveness.

You know, among all the generals in Zhang He's army, only the main general Zhang He could be considered a good general. The rest, whether it is Wang Li or Wang Jiulong, can at best be regarded as fierce generals.

It is a pity that Zhang He had the guts to hand over the troops to Wang Li. He is completely treating the troops as a joke.

This is what really made Wang Yu angry.
