Chapter 615 Ying Bu’s changes and Zhang Liang’s ridicule!
There are two main reasons why Zhang Liang said this at this time. First, Ying Bu's eagerness was one of the factors. This eagerness can be regarded as a weakness of Ying Bu to a certain extent, and Zhang Liang's words were also a kind of comfort to Ying Bu. Secondly, the time has come to a point, even if Ying Bu guessed some situations, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.
"Could it be that the Prime Minister's goal is Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is the main battlefield?" Ying Bu analyzed this matter quickly in his mind. According to the original plan, Han Xin will lead the First Army to march north along the southeastern coastal area. This is an established strategy. However, from Zhang Liang's words, things do not seem to be that simple. Gao Yao seems to have a more far-reaching plan, which makes Ying Bu fall into deep thought.
For a moment, Ying Bu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. On the one hand, if there really was such a conspiracy and he knew nothing about it, it meant that he was still outside the core power layer of Gao Yao. But on the other hand, he also realized that he still had a chance to gain military merit, which was undoubtedly exciting news.
"Okay, don't have that expression. Not only you, but even I haven't been told. I estimate that there are only two people who know about this matter. One is the prime minister himself, and the other should be Xiao He. I'm just guessing." At this time, Zhang Liang seemed to see what Ying Bu was thinking, and he opened his mouth to give some explanation.
But Ying Bu was stunned when he heard this. He had never expected such a statement. He widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang in astonishment, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.
"Military Advisor, what you mean is that all this is just your guess, this is..." Ying Bu's voice was full of doubt and confusion, he really couldn't understand why Zhang Liang said that.
Zhang Liang smiled and explained patiently, "It's very simple. The time you and I have followed the Prime Minister is not much different, but I have been with the Prime Minister longer. What do you think of the Prime Minister?"
Ying Bu thought for a moment, then answered without hesitation: "Of course it is the demeanor of a heroic lord and his extraordinary martial arts." His words revealed his respect and admiration for the prime minister.
Zhang Liang stared at Ying Bu with a half-smile, which made Ying Bu somewhat embarrassed. He suddenly realized that his answer just now might be a bit too straightforward, and even a bit of flattery.
"Okay, okay, the Prime Minister is a man of great talent and vision, and that is beyond words. His wisdom and talent are outstanding among all people and are admirable. However, the Prime Minister is cautious and thinks before doing anything, which is certainly an advantage, but in some cases, it may also lead to missed opportunities. After all, in a turbulent situation, opportunities are often fleeting. If you fail to seize them decisively, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life."
"Of course, the Prime Minister has a strong sense of the overall situation, which is one of his great advantages. When dealing with affairs, he is always able to start from the overall situation, consider various possible situations and consequences, and make the most sensible decisions. This comprehensive and in-depth way of thinking enables him to handle complex problems with ease. However, sometimes he pays too much attention to details and thoroughness, which may make him a little slow in action and miss some critical opportunities."
"In fact, the prime minister can be more radical and not be too bound by traditional thinking patterns and ways of doing things. Taking bold action at the right time may achieve unexpected results. Of course, this does not mean acting rashly, but taking that step bravely after fully evaluating the risks and benefits."
"As for people, the prime minister can be said to be very kind to his subordinates. He not only cares about their lives and work, but also gives them full trust and support. At the same time, the prime minister will reward those who have made contributions and will never tolerate those who make mistakes. This clear attitude of rewards and punishments will undoubtedly motivate his subordinates to work harder and make greater contributions to the country and the people."
"In addition, the prime minister is also willing to accept advice, which is particularly valuable. He is not proud of his position and power. On the contrary, he is very willing to listen to others' opinions and suggestions and accept them with an open mind. Even if there are some criticisms and accusations, he can face them calmly and will not hold anyone responsible. This broad mind and open-minded attitude enable him to gather the wisdom and strength of all parties to jointly promote the development of the country."
"In comparison, the county magistrates in the past were simply aristocratic. They only listened to good words and could not tolerate any bad words. This kind of leadership style not only makes subordinates feel depressed and dissatisfied, but also is not conducive to the unity and cooperation of the team."
"But the prime minister is completely different. He can treat all kinds of opinions with a rational and objective attitude. As long as they make sense, he will adopt them without hesitation. Even if there are deficiencies in theory, he will not easily punish them. Instead, he will patiently enlighten and guide them, helping their subordinates to grow and improve. In this way, the subordinates will naturally be convinced by the prime minister and be willing to work hard for him."
At this time, Ying Bu expressed his thoughts one by one without any reservation or favoritism. On the one hand, he affirmed Gao Yao's abilities and advantages in all aspects, and on the other hand, he expressed some regret for Gao Yao's cautiousness. After all, in this era full of opportunities and challenges, sometimes you need some adventurous spirit and decisive decision-making to be invincible in the competition.
Of course, these are just Ying Bu's personal analysis. However, Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at Ying Bu with a little surprise at this moment. He never expected that Ying Bu, who was always known for his bravery, could have such a profound insight. This really surprised Zhang Liang, after all, in his impression, Ying Bu was just a warrior.
"Ying Bu," Zhang Liang said with emotion, "I, Zhang Liang, underestimated you in the past. I didn't expect that you are not only a martial arts expert, but also have such insight. You will definitely become a great general in the future!"
Ying Bu smiled slightly upon hearing this, and responded modestly: "Haha, Military Advisor, you are too kind. How can I be as good as you say! You always urge me to read more books on weekdays, and before that, I was arranged by the Prime Minister to go to Shangshan Academy to study with several great sages for many days. After such a long period of influence, I should have some experience and experience."
