Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 55: To avoid disaster for Zhang Fei, Zhuge Qiao’s method of provocation
  Zhang Bao's wandering expression is exactly the same as Zhang Fei's, both of them are naive with a hint of shrewdness.

Zhuge Qiao guessed what Zhang Bao was thinking by looking at Zhang Bao: "Brother Zhang also wants to join the army?"

Zhang Bao put his hands on his hands and smiled: "I like your directness, A Qiao. There must be a shortage of clerks around the former general's clerk. I am also reading and literate, so I am capable of being a clerk."

Be a petty official?
  If you really just want to be a minor official, I will stand on my head and go to Xiangyang.

"Brother Zhang has already called you the second uncle of Junhou, why do you need to ask me?" Zhuge Qiao remained calm.

If Zhang Bao wants to join the army, he can just ask Guan Yu directly. Why come to Zhuge Qiao?

Since he came to look for Zhuge Qiao, he must have been rejected by Guan Yu.

Zhang Bao said in frustration: "The second uncle said that I had not been in battle and was afraid that I would be lost in the army, so he asked me to go back to Brazil County."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Bao became a little angry again: "But Guan Xing has never been in battle? Why can Guan Xing join the army, but I have to go back to Brazil County?"

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but be happy.

Can this be the same?

Guan Xing is Guan Yu's son. Even if he is killed in the army, it is Guan Yu's fate. No one else can blame him.

But Zhang Bao was Zhang Fei's eldest son. If this was lost, Guan Yu would be ashamed of Zhang Fei. Zhang Bao wanted to gain experience in the army, so he went back to Brazil County to find Zhang Fei.

"Brother Zhang, the Lord is right, you should indeed return to Brazil County." Zhuge Qiao directly dismissed Zhang Bao's idea of ​​joining the army.

Zhang Bao stood up abruptly: "Ah Qiao, have you forgotten who sent the letter for you and Feng Ji during this time?"

"Brother Zhang, you didn't drink less of my wine." Zhuge Qiao said calmly.

Zhang Bao choked on his words and paced back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao slowly tasting the food, he rolled his eyes and directly stepped forward to snatch Zhuge Qiao's job: "I don't care, if you don't let me join the army, don't eat this meal."

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Zhang, you are fooling around."

Zhang Bao frowned: "If you don't let me join the army, I will act like a fool!"

"Brother Zhang, you have misunderstood the Lord's kindness." Zhuge Qiao put down his chopsticks and said, "If you follow me and join the army, you can only be a minor official, but when you return to Brazil County, you will have the opportunity to command the army."

Zhang Bao was stunned and took the job in his hand further: "Ah Qiao, I suspect you are lying to me. Don't I still know what kind of person my father is?"

"As long as you follow my steps, you will definitely have the opportunity to command the army. I'm afraid you won't dare to command the army then." Zhuge Qiao raised his lips.

Zhang Bao came closer and said, "Ah Qiao, did you really not lie to me?"

Zhuge Qiao said: "Brother Zhang and I have no grievances, and Brother Zhang delivers messages to me and Feng Ji every day. How could I lie to Brother Zhang? Isn't that ungrateful?"

"Oh, look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot that Ah Qiao hasn't eaten yet. Come on, Ah Qiao, eat more, and I'll pick up the food for you." Zhang Bao put the rice bowl next to Zhuge Qiao, then picked up the chopsticks to eat the food. Put it into the bowl, and then hand the chopsticks to Zhuge Qiao with both hands.

Zhuge Qiao took the chopsticks and slowly picked up the vegetables to eat.

Zhang Bao hesitated to speak, but refrained from interrupting Zhuge Qiao again.

It wasn't until Zhuge Qiao slowly put the last grain of rice into his mouth that Zhang Bao came closer and said, "Ah Qiao, is this food delicious?"

Zhuge Qiao stroked his chest: "I'm a little choked."

"Ah Qiao, wait." Zhang Bao ran out quickly and brought back a bowl of water.

Watching Zhuge Qiao drink the water, Zhang Bao stared at Zhuge Qiao eagerly.

Zhuge Qiao burped: "Brother Zhang, when you arrive in Langzhong, tell General Zhang that Guan Xing leads an entire army in Jingzhou."

"Whether General Zhang asks you about your ambitions or not, you must say that you plan to be a civil servant. In the future, you will use civil servants to control military affairs, and Guan Xing will have to listen to you."

Zhang Bao was stunned: "Why should I be a civil servant? If I say this, my father will not be able to whip me with his riding crop."

Zhuge Qiao suggested: "Even if I slap you, you must insist that you want to be a civil servant. Only by becoming a civil servant can you compare with Guan Xing."

"You must make General Zhang believe that you are not a civil servant because you like civil servants, but you are a civil servant because you are no match for Guan Xing."

"If General Zhang still refuses to let you lead the army, you can come to Jingzhou to find me again." Zhang Bao thought for a while and then realized: "Aqiao wants me to use the method of provoking the general? Wonderful, my father is the worst! "

"Seeing that I am so incompetent, not only will I be whipped with a riding crop, but I will definitely be given training in the army."

"Ah Qiao, if I can really lead the army, I will treat you to a drink when you come to Brazil County!"

"I'm going back to Brazil County right now!"

"Wait a minute." Zhuge Qiao called Zhang Bao: "Brother Zhang, since you are going back to Brazil County, there is something you need to pay attention to."

"General Zhang often whips athletes, and after whipping, he also makes these athletes serve around him. This is a recipe for disaster."

"General Zhang is stubborn and can't even persuade the king. Although I don't think you can persuade General Zhang, I can teach you how to avoid disaster."

Zhang Bao's face was slightly stern.

Zhang Fei likes to whip athletes, and Zhang Bao also knows this very well.

No one likes to be beaten!
  Sometimes when he was beaten severely, even Zhang Bao would be dissatisfied with Zhang Fei and compare his feelings with his own, let alone other athletes.

"Please Aqiao teach me." Zhang Bao naturally didn't want Zhang Fei to encounter any trouble.

Zhuge Qiao said carefully: "This matter is difficult to say, but easy to say."

"After you arrive in Brazil County, if an athlete is beaten, you will privately deliver medicine to the athlete."

"Even if General Zhang whips you for this, you must bear it without crying out in pain or surrendering."

"But you have to remember that you can plead for the athletes and give them medicine, but you can't break military regulations."

"As a general, you can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but you must not break military regulations."

"General Zhang is not a fool. General Zhang has a clear understanding of the harm of whipping soldiers, but he cannot change the temper he has developed over decades."

"But General Zhang will not let you, Brother Zhang, develop this kind of temper. This is why General Zhang does not want you to drink, Brother Zhang."

"General Zhang is afraid that your drinking will cause trouble. He is afraid that you will not be able to convince the athletes in the army in the future. He is afraid that you will not become a general and will miss the king's important events."

"Good intentions, Brother Zhang, you have to think carefully."

"When you get to Brazil County, you should quit drinking if you can."

Zhang Bao was greatly shocked.

This was the first time he heard such words. After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Bao felt that what Zhuge Qiao said made sense.

Zhuge Qiao was not disturbed when he saw Zhang Bao lowering his head and meditating.

For Zhuge Qiao, it was almost impossible to persuade Zhang Fei not to whip the athletes.

Even Liu Bei couldn't persuade him, who else could?

Since Zhang Fei couldn't be persuaded, he had to resort to strange measures.

Zhang Bao is a strange move.

"The changes I can make are limited. I hope that Zhang Bao's visit to Zhang Fei can slightly ease the conflict between Zhang Fei and the athletes in the army."

"Then the real battle begins."

Zhuge Qiao took a deep breath.

Once the Battle of Xiangfan begins, there is no turning back.

Want to win.

It depends on who has a more profound strategy and who is more prepared.

Who can truly know oneself and the enemy, and predict the enemy's decisive victory!
