When Wang Zheng observed Lu Ji, Lu Ji also looked at Wang Zheng calmly.

After several years of experience, Wang Zheng's ordinary appearance has long been completely covered up by his own heroic spirit. Coupled with the high charm given by the system, anyone's first impression of him will be very deep. Lu Ji is no exception. Before we had a deep talk, he had a good impression of himself, and immediately walked forward, bowed and said respectfully: "The distinguished guest is coming, and the plants are full of glory. I am in Xialuji, and I will pay my respects to Wang Zhoumu."

"Brother Gongji, you don't need to be too polite. Your talent and reputation are known all over the world. Zheng has admired him for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you this time." Wang Zheng stepped forward and said warmly: "Tonight the moonlight is like water. , it’s the time for a clear talk, only the guest of honor is distinguished, and there is no need to speak of an official position, so as not to taint the artistic conception with vulgarity.”

That said, but Lu Ji is just a captain after all, even with the bonus of family background, his status is quite different from Wang Zheng's today, so although he was polite in his words, Wang Zheng didn't bow down to pay homage, but just helped him personally. rise.

Seeing that Wang Zheng had no pretensions, and treated people like a gentle breeze, Lu Ji became more and more fond of him, so he smiled and said, "In that case, it is better to be respectful than to follow orders." He waved his hands to make a false quotation: "Zhou Mu, please."

Everyone divided the order of guests and hosts, and went to the main hall.

The front and back of Lu's house are connected by a side door. The side door is a courtyard diagonally facing the main hall. Before entering the hall, Wang Zheng caught a glimpse of a garden in the backyard with beautiful flowers. Two people were discussing something in the pavilion. They were not too old. They were four years old, and one of them was only in his early twenties. They all looked very ordinary, not as far behind as Lu Ji, but they didn't take it to heart.

A group of people entered the hall and sat down separately, and their own maid served tea.

"For the people of Jiangdong, Xuzhou Mu worked tirelessly, crossing mountains and rivers, and came from thousands of miles away. I have no respect for you. I only have a cup of good tea to express my heart."

"Xuzhou and Yangzhou have formed an alliance, so they are a family of brothers. There are thieves and turmoil under Yuangong's rule, so it is only natural for Zheng to lead the army to rescue. Brother Gongji is serious."

When they entered the hall, they were seated separately, Lu Ji wanted to flatter them, and Wang Zheng wanted to make friends, and Wang Xiong was beside him, so both the guests and the host were happy.

After talking for a long time, Lu Ji suddenly sighed: "There is nothing wrong with his name. Wangzhou Muli is a corporal who respects the elderly and values ​​education. No wonder Mr. Zibu praised him in his letters. He said that after many years of hard work, he finally met the Ming Lord. He has no regrets in this life."

"Mr. Zibu?" Wang Zheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Gongji knows Zhang Guoxiang?"

Lu Ji replied: "A few years ago, Ji went to Guangling to meet Mr. Zigang and Mr. Wenbiao. Mr. Zibu happened to be there, so I was lucky to meet him."

Wang Zheng knew that the two people he was talking about were Zhang Hong and Qin Song, famous scholars from Guangling County. Although Guangling hadn't entered his base at this time, but he was close after all, he had heard of their names, so he nodded. , and glanced at Wang Xiong calmly, and seeing him shake his head slightly, he said that he had never heard from Lu Ji that he knew Zhang Zhao in the previous few meetings, so he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the behavior of the young man in front of him.

This is the master who sees the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

He smiled lightly and said: "Ms. Zhang Guo is too famous. It is the great fortune of Zheng's life to get his assistant."

Lu Ji said again: "The ancients said: the white hair is like new, and the cover is the same as before. Although Ji and Wang Zhoumu met for the first time, but the demeanor of Zhou Mu really made me feel disappointed. Zhou Mu has governed Xuzhou for several years, and he has seen signs of prosperity. , Jizheng has a doubt in his heart, and now he wants to ask for advice in person.” …

Please teach me?
It shouldn't be some poems and songs, right?

Wang Zheng complained to himself, then smiled and said, "Brother Gong Ji, please tell me."

"Duke Yuan came from a famous family, his family background is noble, he has always been kind and caring, but since he entered Shouchun, he has sought talents several times and invited famous people to serve as his assistant prime minister, but there are only a few who answered, only one out of ten won, I don't know. What is it?"

Wang Zheng was surprised by this question, he was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then he thought about his sentence and said: "Political opinion, Yuan Gong has a lot of talents under his command, especially military generals. It is not that Yuan Gong is not talented, but more It is understandable to put more emphasis on martial arts, now that the world is in chaos, only with strong soldiers and strong horses can the country be safe and protect the people."

Although he said so on the surface, Wang Zheng naturally knew that Yuan Shu was just as lackluster as a general, and what surprised him even more was that Lu Ji is now Yuan Gong's courtier after all, so his words were not only superficial, but also self-exposing. It's short, it's too abrupt.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Wang Xiong, the two of them looked at each other, and a thought arose in his heart at the same time, it seemed that Shen Shu's words were true, this Lu Ji really did not forget revenge, although he hid it deeply before, now he is together Seeing Wang Zheng as the rightful lord, he didn't speak for a long time before showing his resentment towards Yuan Shu.

In fact, he still didn't know Lu Ji very well.

This person who was included in the 24 filial piety as "Lu Ji Huai Orange" when he was young, after he became an adult, what he cared most about, or the object of his "filial piety", had been sublimated from parents and other individuals to the whole family.

Even in Lu Ji's heart, he didn't have much affection for his old father Lu Kang, but rather complained.

Because it was Lu Kang's rare outlier in this aristocratic family, he didn't think about his family, he just wanted to be loyal to the big man, and he was at odds with Yuan Shu. In the end, he not only lost his own life, but also took advantage of half of the Lu family in Wu County!

During the two years of defending Wancheng, nearly half of the more than one hundred members of the Lu clan died, and many of them were outstanding talents of the younger generation of the family. Characters simply couldn't survive the later two Jin Dynasties.

And Lu Ji took the initiative to see Wang Zheng, not because of Yuan Shu and Lu Kang's grievances, but because of Sun Ce's rebellion this time, he and many people in Shouchun City saw Yuan Shu's weakness and incompetence, and even feared that he was in danger.

Compared with Xuzhou, the place of the Fourth World War, Yangzhou's geographical location is better, but it is also limited. The good degree is mainly due to the addition of a natural danger from the Yangtze River. It also has a lack of depth. Once the Jianghuai natural danger is overcome, the whole territory may not be safe.

Moreover, in Lu Ji's view, it has long been written in the history books that during times of war, the land of Jiangdong will at most become a separatist regime, and those who have never been able to achieve great things, but Xuzhou is different. At least there is an example of Liu Bang before
Most importantly, Yuan Shu did not show the ability to break the rules.

In Lu Ji's view, compared with other lands, if you don't advance, you will retreat. The lord must be aggressive, but Yangzhou is just the opposite. It's better to have no ambitions, and wait patiently for the true son of the north to come out, and their monarchs and ministers will take over together. Just pray. …

It's a pity that Yuan Shu's biggest problem is that his ambition is too big. Not only does he have the heart to win the world, but he also wants to proclaim himself emperor after a big defeat just now, so he gave Sun Ce an excuse to rebel, even with the help of the king's government to calm down , but in the eyes of Lu Ji and many discerning people, he has completely given up on Yuan Shu.

If such a frenzied, life-and-death person continues to be regarded as his master, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?
As far as Lu Ji is concerned, in fact, the Lord of Jiangdong that he recognizes more in his heart is naturally the emperor of Xudu. After all, his Lu family has paid so much for the Liu family. If Emperor Xian revives the Han Dynasty, it will naturally be rewarded.

But Cao Cao's army had been stationed at the border of Yingchuan for almost half a year, and even Runan hadn't even made an inch of progress. Lu Ji was helpless because he couldn't choose a chance.

However, after Wang Zheng defeated Sun Ce, he took the first step before entering Shouchun, leaving Lu Ji no choice but to set his sights on the former Yellow Turban bandit.

In fact, when Wang Zheng went to Yangzhou last time, Lu Ji was also in the city, but at that time he was influenced by his father, but he didn't have the slightest affection for Wang Zheng. Advise Yuan Shu and persuade him to take the opportunity to kill him and make a traitor for the great man.

But this time, that time, now that Yuan Shu was greatly disappointed, and Cao Cao hadn't arrived for a long time, after Lu Ji got to know him, his impression of Wang Zheng changed drastically.

In just two or three years, he successively defeated Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao, several heroes of the time. Now Xuzhou has been pacified, and there are six counties hidden.
Such a hero, isn't this the god bestowed on me by the people of Jiangdong?

Besides, he just met Wang Xiong at dusk today, and Wang Zhengyue came to visit him at the top of the mountain. If he is not sincere, if he is not a corporal, why did he come to this?

Since Wang Zheng came, he has actually been observing in secret. During the conversation, he found that Wang Zheng is indeed wise and powerful, just like the wind commentator.
During this period of time, Wang Xiong and others, including Wang Zheng's family, were busy. His reputation in Jiangdong was reaching the peak state in history. No matter the dignitaries, even the traffickers, they all praised him.

Therefore, Lu Ji finally made up his mind, challenged Wang Zheng with words, and wanted to test Wang Zheng's ambition, but unexpectedly Wang Zheng avoided answering, and he couldn't help being disappointed.

Wang Xiong on the side smoothed things over and said: "I heard from the son of the Shen family that Lu Duwei is both civil and military. He is not only proficient in poetry and books, but also good at the Book of Rites and the Book of Changes. His calligraphy is also the best in Jiangdong. I don't know if I can see it. Vision?"

"There are so many talents in Jiangdong, and I dare not take the reputation of being the best."

Lu Ji smiled modestly, and was about to speak, when there was a burst of clear laughter from outside the hall, and then a young man about twenty years old, wearing a Confucian scarf and a rich suit, walked in, and another Thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys followed closely behind.

The man entered the hall, turned his eyes to Wang Zheng, although he saw the stranger, he didn't take it seriously, he just nodded his head lightly as a polite greeting, and then smiled at Lu Ji: "Gong Ji, the weather is not good Good morning, I will bid farewell."

This person's appearance is average, even far inferior to Wang Zheng's. He is almost ugly, but his voice is in sharp contrast to his appearance. The sound is round and round, and the bass is honest and thick, just like a luan singing and a phoenix singing. …

Damn it, he almost judged people by their appearance like his grandma, and missed a talented person!

Wang Zheng immediately looked up, he had seen these two people in the garden just now, but he didn't care because of their ordinary appearance, but now he was very regretful.

There must be something extraordinary about an outstanding person. This person's voice is simply more magnetic than any song god and song king in the later generations. How could he be an ordinary person?
Before the man finished speaking, the young man behind him smiled and said, "Hey, Uncle Shi can't argue, so he wants to get away with it?" Then he turned to Lu Ji and shouted, "Father, don't let him go away so easily. People, you have to admit defeat to me personally."

Before Lu Ji could answer, Wang Zheng rolled his eyes and said first, "Is this brother Gong Ji's nephew? Sure enough, he is a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing."

In fact, although that young man is better than the young man at the side, he is not a handsome young man, his appearance is at most upright.

"That's right." Lu Ji glanced at the young man when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile, "With such a big nephew here, Ji Huafa is already born early."

Then he said to the young man: "Your honored guest, this is Xuzhou Wang Zhengzhou Mu, and this is Wang Xiong, a general under Zhou Mu's tent. Lu Yi, Hugh is so rude, why don't you pay a visit?"

"It was Li Yang Hou Wang Yu Kou face to face?"

The young man was startled when he heard the words, looked at Wang Zheng immediately with a serious expression, immediately raised his front, knelt down and said: "Lu Yi has seen Wang Zhoumu, Wang Xiaowei, I am rude, please also invite Wang Han."

Wang Zheng just answered the words as an excuse, so he didn't have the heart to care about this little boy at this time, so he just responded with a salute, then looked at the young man beside him, and asked softly, "I don't know if this gentleman is named or not?" taboo?"

Just as Lu Ji was about to answer, the young man smiled, took a deep look at Wang Zheng, and immediately said proudly: "Pang Tong of Jingzhou, I have met Wang Zhoumu."

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard an exclamation, and Wang Zheng stood up abruptly.

At this time, he was staring at the young man, his eyes were full of frightening expressions, and the thoughts in his heart kept reverberating.

I rely on it, send it.
Personality exploded
After swiping a map of Yangzhou, it turned out to be a phoenix chick?
