Chapter 1416 Do not be arrogant
The book is followed last time.
One month later, Li Zhi rushed towards Jizhou with his troops. It was getting late halfway, so they stationed.
Just as Li Zhi was looking at the information in the big tent, Ma Chao suddenly ran over with a scream.
"Uncle! Good news!! Great news!!"
"Hmm?" Li Zhi frowned after hearing Ma Chao's screams and asked unhappily: "Meng Qi, what are you doing in a panic? Tell me slowly if you have something to do."
"Gudu Gudu..." Ma Chao nodded, grabbed a cup of tea from the side and poured it in, and said, "My nephew just received the news that his lord won a great victory. Gongsun Zan had committed suicide. Zhang Yan was also defeated by General Lu Bu. He is now fleeing everywhere. It won't take long to capture him alive!
In other words, we are about to unify the world!"
"..." After hearing this, Li Zhi was not only not happy, but instead frowned tightly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to unify the world, but that he feels it’s a bit too fast!
He took the south and the north was initially pacified. In this way, how could he educate the world in these newly captured territory?
After all, it takes time to build a school, and now he just lacks time!
After unifying the world, Cao Cao will definitely hold a founding ceremony and will also be granted the title of ministers. At that time, Li Zhi, the number one hero, will definitely not be absent!
In this way, he would have no time to teach the world.
He originally thought that after he conquered the south, the war in the north would have to last for at least one year.
In this way, he could gradually build schools in these southern prefectures and counties, and then after the founding of the country, he would build schools in Youzhou and Yanzhou.
Now it seems that time is too late!
However, the unification of the world is a good thing after searching for a while, Li Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "In this way, we have accomplished a great cause that has not been many times since ancient times!"
His words are not a false statement. Since ancient times, few people have achieved great achievements in unifying the world.
"Uncle said so much!" Ma Chao nodded excitedly and asked, "Will we go to find our lord immediately now?"
He is already a little impatient now. Since he followed Li Zhi to the south, he has made many achievements!
According to his estimates, based on his current achievements, he can be divided into four generals!
A little higher, you can even touch the edge of the General of the Four Conquests!
So Ma Chao couldn't wait to go back and receive the reward!
"Okay!" Li Zhi also knew when he looked at Ma Chao's expression. If he was dragging on the ground now, maybe Ma Chao would be anxious with him.
So Li Zhi nodded and said, "You will go back to rest now. We will set off early tomorrow morning and return to Jizhou as quickly as possible!"
"No!" Ma Chao responded and nodded repeatedly, then ran out of the tent happily. Judging from his appearance, he might not be able to sleep tonight.
After Ma Chao left, Li Zhi thought for a long time, finally sighed, shook his head, and murmured: "Forget it, there is nothing in the world that has the best of both worlds. First deal with the founding ceremony, and then find a way to educate the world. It really doesn't work..."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and did not continue talking.
Then he returned to his couch, took off his clothes, blew out the candles, and fell asleep slowly.
The next morning, Li Zhi was called out by Ma Chao. He can't wait to return to Jizhou now!
"Uncle, let's go out quickly!"
"Oh..." Li Zhi, who had not eaten breakfast, sighed helplessly and nodded weakly, "Okay, okay, let's go now, let's go now!!!"
After saying that, he did not let the army have breakfast, but rushed them toward Jizhou.
In fact, he also knew that everyone in the army had no intention of having a meal, so he set out so early.
After all, the news of Cao Cao's pacification of the north had spread throughout the army, and everyone was so excited that they didn't sleep all night!
They all knew that Cao Cao was a very generous person. Although Cao Cao would not award these soldiers official positions when he founded the country, he would definitely give them some money!
And it was because of knowing that this was the case that even if Li Zhi didn't let them have breakfast, the soldiers had no complaints, but were very excited.
With the support of this excitement, they unknowingly walked through the practice for a day, and Jizhou was already in sight!
"Huh..." Li Zhi, who had been riding a horse for a whole day, looked at the Jizhou border, and let out a long breath and rubbed his temples that were a little painful. "It's finally here. This marquis has never marched so quickly. At first, he is really unable to adapt to this!"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand to the order, and the soldiers ordered: "Tell us that the army will be stationed on site, and let all the officers of all sizes and big and small in the army follow this marquis to enter Jizhou!"
There is no way. Cao Cao is about to establish the country and become emperor now, and Li Zhi can no longer be as casual as before. He has to understand the rules!
So when he came back, he stationed his army outside the border of Jizhou to avoid letting others gossip.
"No!" After hearing Li Zhi's order, the messenger responded immediately, and then hurried away.
After a while, all the officers of all sizes and big and small in the army gathered in Li Zhi's tent.
Although they had been traveling for a day, they were all energetic. Several of them couldn't help but smile on their faces.
After looking at everyone for a while, Li Zhi asked with a smile, "What's the matter that makes you so happy? Tell me to make me happy!"
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Ma Chao immediately stood up and shouted: "Is this more important? Of course we are happy that we are about to be rewarded!
This time we entered the south, we did not lose many people and took down the three states... no... the four states...
This is a great contribution. The lord has to reward us well after all. Do you think we should be happy?"
"You guys think so too?" Li Zhi ignored Ma Chao'er and asked the others.
"That's right!" After hearing Li Zhi's words, the others nodded at the same time.
"Nonsense!" After looking around for a week, Li Zhi suddenly cursed loudly and said, "Do you know that Brother Meng De will not be the emperor for long?!
You can no longer treat Brother Meng De with the same attitude as before!
You know, thunder, rain and dew are all kings. No matter what Brother Meng De rewards you, even if you don’t reward you, you must not have any complaints!
Otherwise, disaster will arise!”
Li Zhi is reminding these people in advance!
He knew how many founding emperors in history had killed them because of their arrogant and domineering civil and military officials!
If this group of people had been so excited and had always regarded themselves as heroes, then after returning to Jizhou, Cao Cao would definitely be unhappy!
At that time, Cao Cao may not be as knowledgeable as them because of Li Zhi's face.
But over time, after Cao Cao's dissatisfaction accumulates too much, it will definitely explode!
By then, Cao Cao, who had stabilized the regime, could easily get rid of these people!
These people were all confidants who had followed Li Zhi to fight for many years. Li Zhi didn't want them to be targeted by Cao Cao because of their mere mentality.
So, he wanted to dispel the arrogant mentality in these people's hearts before entering Jizhou again!
"This..." After hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a while, and asked stammeringly: "What the Lord Luoyang means is that the lord is not going to reward us people anymore?"
"When did I say that Brother Meng De is not going to reward you anymore?" Li Zhi rolled his eyes in anger, and then said: "What I mean is to tell you that after the Jizhou is in progress, don't be too arrogant and domineering, be honest and behave in a manner!
Moreover, no matter what Brother Meng De rewards you, you must continue happily!
Of course, as far as I know, Brother Meng De is a kind person and is very generous in his actions. As long as your contributions are real, they will never be stingy with rewards!"
Speaking of this, he changed his words, "But you also have to know that Brother Meng De is a human being, and he will make mistakes if he is a human being!
If he misses two or three people after he has finished rewarding, then don’t blame him, let alone make trouble!
You can tell me about this, and I will ask Brother Meng De for you.
If you really make a mistake, then Brother Meng De will definitely make up for you in the future. Do you understand?!"
Li Zhi really put a lot of effort into these people!
He was afraid that these people would not let go because of Cao Cao's slight mistake, which made Brother Meng De angry, so he gave him a vaccination in advance.
After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone knew that Li Zhi was doing their own good. At the same time, they adjusted their mentality. They bowed deeply to Li Zhi and said in unison: "We will write more of the advice from the Marquis of Luoyang, so we will not dare to go to the Marquis of Luoyang to teach!"
"Well" Li Zhijian everyone put his words in his heart, nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and helped him: "Okay, let's get up."
When Ma Chao and others stood up, Ma Chao immediately asked Li Zhi: "Uncle, will we enter Jizhou immediately now?"
"What's the hurry?!" Li Zhi pointed to the simple and simple appearance of everyone and said, "Look at the embarrassing appearance on you, go back and wash up, and then..."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi suddenly stopped, touched his chin, and began to think.
After thinking for a while, he denied himself and said, "No! No need to wash up, you just enter the city with this Hou!"
There is a saying that children who can cry have milk to eat!
When Cao Cao saw their embarrassing appearance, he would definitely feel that they had experienced hard battles to win the four southern states!
In this way, Cao Cao will value them even more!
