The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 121 Who Is Fooling Who?
Beijing is such a great place!
Sitting in the restaurant, Lin Chao said with emotion in his heart.

The reason why it is called a good place is because you can meet a few great talents casually, and you can pick up several famous generals every now and then, and these people are not well-known yet. For Lin Chao, it is simply too convenient to recruit And fooled.

For example, Zhang Liao, who was stopped by Lin Chao at the moment, looked bewildered.

The original surname of Zhang Liao's ancestor was Nie, and his ancestor was Nie Yi, the mastermind of Mayi's conspiracy.After Mayi's conspiracy failed, the Nie family changed their surname to Zhang to avoid resentment, and it was passed down from generation to generation to Zhang Liao's generation, which has basically been reduced to a poor family.

"Zi Chu, why are you here?"

After Zhang Liao saw clearly that it was Lin Chaohou, he clasped his hands and asked with a smile.

Didn't Lin Zichu leave the General's Mansion this afternoon? Why is he still here now?

Of course Zhang Liao didn't think that Lin Chao was waiting for him here.

"Wen Yuan, would you like to have a drink together?"

Lin Chao stood up and raised his glass to invite, with a kind smile on his face.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

After being seated, Lin Chaohuan added another jug ​​of wine, and the two chatted while drinking.

In He Jin's mansion, Lin Chao has been paying attention to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao is looking at Lin Chao.Especially when He Jin said that Liu Bei's pacification of Zhongshan was all due to Lin Chao's planning, Zhang Liao's eyes were full of admiration and longing.

At this time, Zhang Liao was under twenty years old, and he was full of enthusiasm.Although he was appreciated by Ding Yuan, but he had nothing to show for his talents, he was naturally envious of Lin Chao.

This time, Ding Yuan sent him to Beijing for the same purpose as Lin Chao. It can be said that he sent a letter of nomination to He Jinna, meaning to seek refuge.

It was also after seeing Zhang Liao today that Lin Chao understood why Ding Yuan was able to immediately take over the position of Bingzhou governor after Zhang Yi was killed in March.

The affectionate family has now made friends with the great general of the dynasty, and promotion is naturally a reasonable thing.

Although Zhang Liao and Lin Chao were drinking and chatting, they were quite cautious. After all, he came to Beijing to explore the way for Ding Yuan, and Lin Chao was the right-hand man of Zhongshan Captain Liu Bei, so he had to be cautious in his words and deeds, lest he be hurt by others. Ding Yuan made enemies for nothing.

"Wen Yuan doesn't need to be restrained. Today the general has already said that you and I should get closer in the future. A certain sincere friend, why should Wen Yuan be so indifferent."

Lin Chao saw Zhang Liao's restraint, and said with a smile: "Besides, Lord Jianyang and Lord Xuande are both loyal and good men, and they only follow the leader of the general. Naturally, the two families need to communicate more. Does Wen Yuan think so?"

After saying these two sentences, Zhang Liao nodded repeatedly.

It turned out that Lin Zichu also intended to make friends with Lord Jianyang, which was easy to handle.

"Brother Zichu laughed at me. A certain person came out of the Yanmen in Xinjiang, and his knowledge is shallow. When he is at the foot of the emperor, he must be more careful. I will use this cup to apologize to brother Zichu."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Lin Chao also had a drink with him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they had met each other so late.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Lin Chao decided to step up his efforts to fool around.

Looking around, there was no one else in the restaurant at this time.Lin Chao then said in a low voice, "Wen Yuan, is it because of that position that Lord Jianyang sent you to the capital?"

Zhang Liao: "???"

Why can't I understand what Lin Zichu is saying?
What position?
But Zhang Liao was not an ordinary person after all, and he immediately realized that the position Lin Chao mentioned was probably a secret that he and even Duke Jianyang didn't know.

It's better to inquire more. If it's the key, it's better to go back and let Lord Jianyang make more preparations.

"Brother Zichu, that position is naturally extremely important, and Duke Jianyang naturally wants to win it. Besides, brother Zichu is here to plan for that position for Duke Xuande."

Zhang Liao didn't know anything, but pretended to know everything.This set of words made Lin Chao smile secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

"It's that rare position, so I'm waiting here for Wenyuan today." Lin Chao said seriously, "Because both Lord Xuande and Lord Jianyang are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, they should help each other and make progress hand in hand. Possibly two of those spots."

Good guy, there is more than one emotional position!
Zhang Liao thought he had received another piece of confidential information, and quickly held his breath, ready to make persistent efforts.

"Brother Zichu said the truth, I will definitely report to Lord Jianyang when I go back." Zhang Liao said with a serious face, "If Brother Zichu knows what's going on, you might as well tell someone about it, so I can persuade Lord Jianyang to make preparations early. It echoes with Duke Xuande from afar."

The technique of this Liao cliché is too blunt!
Lin Chao complained in his heart, but he had to continue to act with him.

"Okay, then I will tell Wen Yuan everything I know, so that Lord Jianyang can prepare early." Lin Chao said, "There are eight captains in Xiyuan, but because they have a lot of troops in their hands, Defend the capital, so all forces will not let it go. Those who bear the brunt are the aristocratic family, eunuchs, and the generals are also involved."

These words were like a thunder in Zhang Liao's ears.

The imperial court wants to form an army in the Gyeonggi area, named Xiyuan Baxiaowei, who will be responsible for the security of the capital?
Then these eight positions are too critical!
In the Han Dynasty, large-scale troops were always stationed on the frontiers. When there was a war, a general with a general title was sent to command the troops. After the war, the military power was returned to the court.

That is to say, although the ministers in the court are honorable, they have no soldiers in their hands.There are soldiers in the frontier, but the generals are humble, and they have to listen to the imperial court at any time.

But once the Xiyuan Army is established, it will be a disaster. It will directly hold the military power in the Gyeonggi area. This is the position that many people dream of!

In this era, all officials have broken their heads and drilled into the center of the empire in order to grab more power.

"Thank you, brother Zichu, for letting me know. When I go back, I will definitely report to Duke Jianyang."

This Lin Zichu is really a good person, such a confidential matter was found out by someone so easily.

As Zhang Liao spoke, he was still filled with emotion.

"Wen Yuan must remember that speed is the most important thing, and change will happen if you are late." Lin Chao said seriously, "The most important thing is that you and my two families should watch out and help each other, so that it is possible to get two of the positions."

"Zichu's golden and jade words, I must remember them in my heart!"

Zhang Liao replied solemnly.

The two chatted for a while, Zhang Liao got up to say goodbye, and left in a hurry.

Knowing such big news, how can he sit still.Right now, the purpose of coming to Beijing has been achieved, and he only wants to leave overnight to return to Bingzhou and report this matter to Ding Yuan.

Looking at the back of Zhang Liao leaving in a hurry, Lin Chao smiled and left the wine shop.

There are still a few months before the actual formation of the West Garden Army, which can give Ding Yuan enough time to react.

Once Ding Yuan stepped in, the original situation would become chaotic.

Be chaotic, the more chaotic the better.

Not chaotic, how can I fish out of troubled waters?
Lin Chao sighed in the night: "Xiyuan Eighth Captain, what a desirable position..."

Fight slowly, I don't even bother to ask for this position if you give it to me.
