Chapter 51
Zhang Fei was rushing to pick up the princes and soldiers who dared to cause trouble in the streets and alleys. Ju Su did not stop this. Although Zhang Fei's behavior may offend some princes, if the Northern Army wants to gain a foothold in Luoyang, the first thing that the Northern Army must win the hearts of the people here, so the Northern Army must deal with the princes and soldiers who caused trouble in the streets and used thunder means. Facts have proved that Ju Su's consideration was correct. During this period, Zhang Fei's behavior of punishing the rioters and soldiers without any hesitation made the people of Luoyang get closer to each other without realizing it. Now Zhang Fei can be said to be a household name. Everyone, men, women, young and old, know that there is a tower-like giant man with a leopard head, ring-eyed steel needle whiskers, who is protecting them. Whenever Zhang Fei rode his horse on the street, the people he saw would always bow to him respectfully, and some would even kneel down in the street. The children chased Zhang Fei's war horse. Sometimes Zhang Fei would pick up a child and throw it high and then hold it in his arms, or use his steel needle-like beard to scratch the child. Whenever this time, the child being held by Zhang Fei would laugh and keep laughing. Afterwards, other children would surround the child with envy.
Zhang Fei is in a very good mood now, and being admired and loved by the people makes Zhang Fei feel very accomplished.
The people of Luoyang respected Zhang Fei very much, but many princes hated Zhang Fei to the core. Although most princes were afraid of the strength of the Northern Army and dared not express anything, and even restrained their subordinates' behavior, not everyone could swallow their anger, especially those who were pretentious.
Among the princes in Luoyang City, the worst military discipline was Yuan Shu. Therefore, his subordinates were punished the most by Zhang Fei. Once, his two personal soldiers were even killed on the spot because of resistance.
Yuan Shu felt that Zhang Fei was intentionally causing trouble for him. He believed that a small general dared to mess with him. If he had no expression, he would definitely be despised.
Finally, after Zhang Fei punished another Yuan Shu's personal soldier, Yuan Shu brought people to Zhang Fei.
"Zhang Fei, why can't you get along with me?" Yuan Shu and his men stopped Zhang Fei in the street and asked.
Zhang Fei glared at his eyes, "Who is unable to get along with whom! Your person is causing trouble on grandpa's territory, can't grandpa still care about it!"
"Zhang Fei, you are too bullying! I will teach you a lesson today! Even if Baimating Hou comes back, he won't blame me!"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to do it, do it! Where can we get so much talkative!"
After being robbed by Zhang Fei, Yuan Shu's face was so angry that it was blue and purple. "Ji Ling!" Yuan Shu shouted.
"The last one is here." A burly man turned from behind Yuan Shu to respond.
"Tell me a lesson about this ignorant guy!" Yuan Shu glared at Zhang Fei fiercely and said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Just as Ji Ling lifted his sword, Yuan Shu quickly stopped him: "Wait."
"Remember. Just teach this reckless man a lesson! Never take his life!" Yuan Shu explained in a low voice. Zhang Fei was also a general under Chen Chu's command. Yuan Shu was worried that if Zhang Fei was killed, Chen Chu would turn against him. At that time, Yuan Shu would be afraid that Yuan Shu would not be able to take it.
Ji Ling stood in front of Zhang Fei with a knife and stood at a dozen steps. He looked at Zhang Fei up and down, his face full of contempt. Ji Ling didn't know Zhang Fei, nor did he hear anything extraordinary about Zhang Fei, and he didn't take Zhang Fei seriously at all. If Lu Bu or Guan Yu were standing in front of him at this time, he would definitely not dare to challenge him, but for this Zhang Fei who was not famous at all, Ji Ling, as a famous general in Huainan, did not take him seriously at all. However, Ji Ling forgot one thing, that is, any famous general started from the unknown.
Seeing the contempt in the other party's eyes, Zhang Fei suddenly burst into anger and his fists clattered.
"You, show your weapons." Ji Ling raised his sword and pointed at Zhang Fei in a arrogant manner.
Zhang Fei's eyes twitched and he said viciously: "Your grandfather doesn't use weapons to deal with a guy like you!"
Then, Zhang Fei rushed forward. He couldn't wait to abuse this guy who dared to be arrogant in front of him.
Yuan Shu was making trouble for Zhang Fei quickly spread among the princes, and the news also reached Ju Su's ears as soon as possible.
The princes and Ju Su from all sides rushed to the direction of the past.
When everyone arrived, they saw Zhang Fei, the giant man like a black bear, fighting with Ji Ling, a famous Huainan general holding a big knife, barely.
Although Zhang Fei had bare hands, he was completely in charge of taking the initiative. Ji Ling, a famous Huainan general holding a big knife, was beaten by him and retreated step by step.
The princes were stunned. Everyone knew Ji Ling's power, but there was no room for fighting back in front of the other side, and the other side was still bare-handed. If this giant man like a black bear held a weapon, wouldn't he be able to kill Ji Ling in a few rounds! Thinking of this, the princes couldn't help but sweat.
Almost all the princes thought to themselves: After returning, they must be restrained by their subordinates, otherwise once they fall into the hands of this fierce man, they will only be self-destructive.
Just as the princes were feeling emotion, Zhang Fei suddenly shouted violently, Ji Ling's wrist was immediately hit by a heavy punch, and then the sword flew up and fell to the side.
Ji Ling's face suddenly turned pale, and he kept shouting in his heart. Before Ji Ling could turn his mind around, Zhang Fei kicked his chest and hit him straight.
With a muffled bang, Ji Ling couldn't dodge and was hit by a strong man, and then he was hit by a huge force nearly ten steps away.
Ji Ling lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, so she could only hum and moan. It's okay, Ji Ling had a good physique and resisted this. If he had changed to a slightly worse one, Zhang Fei's heavy blow just now would probably have killed him.
Seeing Ji Ling defeated, the scene suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at Zhang Fei with horror.
Yuan Shu finally reacted with a pale face. He never expected that his number one general would be defeated so quickly and miserably. He originally thought that Ji Ling's martial arts could be comparable to Lu Bu or Guan Yu under Chen Chu's command, but he didn't expect that even an unknown general of the Northern Army could not defeat him!
Yuan Shu glanced at Zhang Fei and saw Zhang Fei glaring at him fiercely. Yuan Shu quickly lowered his head and dared not look again.
He asked his subordinates to help Ji Ling, who was injured and fell to the ground, and Yuan Shu wanted to leave without saying a word.
"Please stay with you, General," at this time, Sima Ju Su, marched in the Northern Army, came out and said.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shu's tone was not very good. It's no wonder that he was so proud of his face in public, how could he not be jealous of him?
Ju Su came to Yuan Shu, first clasped his fists and bowed, and then said, "The latter general, Zhang Fei and General Zhang have always been rude. If there is any offense, please don't behave like it!"
The reason why Ju Su did this was entirely to ease the conflict. After all, Yuan Shu was in Huainan and it would be a little more than good if the two families had a grudge. Of course, Ju Su did this, but he did not mean that he opposed Zhang Fei's previous series of practices. On the contrary, he agreed with Zhang Fei's thundering measures in this matter, because compared to his relationship with the princes, the people in Luoyang are more important.
Seeing the other party saying apologized in a harmonious voice, Yuan Shu's face instantly improved a lot and his spirit became much smoother.
"Where is it? As a military general, it is common to compete in martial arts, and victory or defeat is also common. How could I take this matter to heart!" Yuan Shu said with a smile.
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was standing by, walked over and said, "The competition just now was really wonderful! General Ji Ling, a famous general in Huainan, unexpectedly lost to General Zhang Fei with bare hands! General Zhang Fei is really powerful! With that kick, General Ji Ling lost half his life!" Then Cao Cao seemed to realize something and hurriedly said, "Ah, General Ji Ling is also very powerful! Although he was defeated a little ugly in the end,... Well, I really don't know what to say! In short, General Ji Ling is not bad either! Brother Gaolu doesn't have to worry too much!"
Yuan Shu's face, which had been relieved, became increasingly ugly under the stimulation of Cao Cao's words. Finally, Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Goodbye!", and left without looking back.
"Oh! Brother Gaolu, what's wrong?" Cao Cao said with a confused look on his face.
When he turned to look at Ju Su, Cao Cao found that Ju Su was looking at him with an inexplicable look. "Mr. Ju Su, why are you looking at me like this?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
Ju Su sneered, "I have heard Xu Shao of Runan say to the public: 'I am a capable minister in governing the world, and a hero in troubled times.' Now it seems that this comment is really not bad at all!"
Cao Cao knew that the other party had seen his little move just now, so he blew and didn't say anything.
Afterwards, Ju Su and Zhang Fei returned to the official office together.
Zhang Fei was in a good mood. After all, he taught the arrogant Yuan Shu a lesson. However, one thing that made Zhang Fei unhappy was what Ju Su said to Yuan Shu humbly.
"Mr. Ju Su, why do you apologize to that Yuan Shu?!" Zhang Fei asked with his eyes wide open.
However, Ju Su did not answer him, but sat there as if he was in a daze.
Zhang Fei frowned and came to Ju Su, and danced in front of the other party with his hands. He didn't respond, so a prank-like smirk appeared on Zhang Fei's cheek.
"Mr. Ju Su!!" Zhang Fei shouted in Ju Su's ear with his throat.
Ju Su, who was thinking about something, felt as if a thunder thunder hit his brain, which scared him to the spot for a few times.
After shaking his buzzing head, Ju Su came to his senses for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Fei looking at him with his arms in his arms as if he was smiling. Ju Su immediately understood what was going on just now, and he felt a little amused.
"General Zhang, what are you doing? I was shocked!"
Zhang Fei grinned and asked, "Mr. Ju Su, what were you thinking just now? So enchanting!"
Ju Su frowned and said, "I'm thinking of that Cao Cao."
Zhang Fei immediately smiled evilly when he heard this, "Does Mr. Ju Su have a habit of Long Yang? He likes that Cao Cao!"
Hearing this, Ju Su almost fell down. "General Zhang, what are you saying? What do you mean? I mean that Cao Cao is likely to become the lord's strong enemy!" Ju Su said angrily.
Zhang Fei passed the image of Cao Cao in his mind, and then said disapprovingly: "Just because of that little man, he is not my elder brother's opponent! Mr. Ju Shu, don't think too much!"
