Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 163 The universe is unpredictable, the general situation of the world is in chaos

Zhao Yun has a talent for fighting, but also has loyalty and benevolence. He holds an important position in Changshan Kingdom at a young age, which is already stronger than most generals.

If the world is not chaotic, Zhao Yun will probably continue to accumulate experience and military exploits in Changshan Kingdom, accumulate a lot of achievements, and be promoted step by step, and it is not impossible to be named a marquis and a general.

But a pity.

Today's world has already become a stage for careerists to compete.

Even a good general like Zhao Yun, who is brave and good at fighting and knows how to be loyal and trustworthy, will lose the opportunity to practice with time and turmoil, and his talent will be buried.

The growth of generals requires polishing.

No matter how talented a military general is, if he doesn't get experience and can't advance to general and handsome, his achievements can only end up as miscellaneous generals.

Able to charge into battle, fearless of life and death, but difficult to lead troops in battle and defeat the enemy.

Zheng Ping has known a truth since he was a child: read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, get rid of the dust in his chest, and naturally camp in hills and valleys.

As brave as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, when Liu Bei was Gao Tangwei, he could still be chased and beaten by the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Literary talent is as brilliant as Mi Heng, and when I first met Zheng Ping, he was just a sleazy scholar.

Talent can only prove the upper and lower limits of potential, and opportunities for experience are the key to reaching the upper limit of potential.

Even if you are very talented and work hard, if you don't have the corresponding opportunities to practice, you are just a group of Fang Zhongyong.

Zheng Ping has the heart to cultivate Zhao Yun, and also believes that Zhao Yun, who has gained experience, will become a real general in the future.

Therefore, Zheng Ping recommended Zhao Yun to Liu Yu, so that Zhao Yun could get more training opportunities under Liu Yu's command.

Similarly, when Zhao Yun hesitated, Zheng Ping would patiently advise him.

"No one cares about the opinions of a little Lieutenant Chang Shanguo."

"If you are not Gongsun Zan's confidant, how can you take advantage of the military prestige and perform the duty of persuasion?"

"Those who achieve great things, don't be blinded by a single leaf, and don't see the general trend!"

Zhao Yun was silent.

These words impacted Zhao Yun's previous cognition and concepts.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was silent, Zheng Ping didn't say much.

It takes time to change old perceptions.

It's not that Zhao Yun would easily agree with Zheng Ping's one or two sentences.

"I will entrust Mr. Yuan Hao with the matter here." Zheng Ping saluted Tian Feng, ready to leave.

Zhao Yun couldn't digest these principles of Zheng Ping for a while, but Tian Feng, who once worked as a servant in Luoyang and experienced the ups and downs of his career, knew the truth very well.

Tian Feng stroked his short beard, his eyes sparkled: "Zheng Biejia, you are so sure, I will agree?"

Zheng Ping chuckled: "Mr. Yuan Hao is not going back to Changshan Country, isn't he just waiting for this opportunity?"

Tian Feng laughed: "Zheng Biejia's ability to discern people's hearts is unparalleled in the world."

After a pause, Tian Feng restrained his face like a vow: "With Tian Yuanhao here in Youzhou, Zheng Biejia can rest assured to make plans."

Zheng Ping did not stay in Zhuocheng.

After meeting Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, he and Zhuge Liang embarked on the journey back to Linzi City.

"Brother, are we going back to Qingzhou now? If General Gongsun and Da Sima clash again, and brother is not here, wouldn't it be a failure?" Zhuge Liang grabbed the rein with both hands and wrapped it around the saddle ring, his face full of doubts.

Zheng Ping was holding the reins with one hand, while shaking the feather fan with his right hand, his eyes were relaxed: "The way of lobbying is to talk about the truth."

"The more you care about success or failure, the easier it is for you to see flaws."

"No regrets, the choice itself is moving forward!"

"Even if I stay in Zhuocheng, what can be changed will be changed, and what cannot be changed will not be changed. Why should I stay in Zhuocheng?"

"With this time, it's better to go back to Linzi City as soon as possible to see if there will be any new information coming!"

"If you want to observe the general trend of the world, you must grasp the changes in the general trend of the world as early as possible and as much as possible than your opponent, so that you can make a decision before you make a move!"

Zhuge Liang seemed to understand but didn't understand, he lowered his head and pondered.

This time following Zheng Ping to Youzhou, Zhuge Liang had so much new knowledge in his little brain that it was difficult to figure it out for a while.

Zheng Ping didn't disturb Zhuge Liang who was thinking with his head down.

Taking Zhuge Liang to Youzhou, Zheng Ping also had the intention of cultivating him.

A leaf obstructs the eyes, but Mount Tai is not seen.

This is a taboo for scholars to study!
Although Liu Bei and Zheng Ping gave Zhuge Liang a more favorable learning environment, they also made Zhuge Liang less aware of following Zhuge Xuan's journey to the south, and also lost the tenacity honed in the difficult situation.

Only by appropriately increasing Zhuge Liang's understanding of the world, avoiding Zhuge Liang's complacency, pursuing theory and deviating from reality, and having more hardships, can Zhuge Liang truly become a talent.

Zheng Ping didn't want Zhuge Liang to become Ma Di because of his intervention, and finally turned into "killing Zhuge with tears"!
Right Beiping.

Gongsun Zan received a secret letter from Gongsun Ji.

For those with the same surname as Gongsun, Gongsun Zan would often treat him like a brother.

Gongsun Ji was not very successful under Liu Yu's command, and when he met Gongsun Zan who treated him like a brother, he naturally favored Gongsun Zan in his heart.

Therefore, after hearing the news that Zheng Ping falsely claimed that the flattering villain was planning to slander Yuan Shu and wanted to use Gongsun Yue's hand to get rid of Xian Yugan, Gongsun Ji sent the news to You Beiping overnight.

Seeing the contents of the secret letter, Gongsun Zan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"How did Zheng Xianmou know such a secret?"

Gongsun Zan is not stupid.

In front of Liu Yu and the civil and military officers of Youzhou Mufu, Zheng Ping blatantly fabricated a villain who flattered Yuan Shu, and then deduced what Gongsun Yue wanted to do to kill Xianyu.

If he hadn't learned about the secret, how could he dare to infer such a thing?

Soon, Gongsun Zan understood Zheng Ping's purpose.

This is Zheng Ping shaking the mountain!
If Gongsun Zan violated the agreement and refused to make peace with Liu Yu, then Zheng Ping would mercilessly announce what Gongsun Zan sent Gongsun Yue to do in collusion with Yuan Shu to attack and kill Xianyu.

At that time, the unreasonable Gongsun Zan will be condemned by everyone in Youzhou!

"It's really cruel!"

"I didn't mention it in front of the general, but deliberately mentioned it in front of the civil and military officers of Liu Yuyouzhou's pastoral government. This is forcing the general to make a choice."

Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, and couldn't help feeling a little more jealous of Zheng Ping.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan quickly summoned Gongsun Fan and ordered him to send his cronies, Xingye, to Luyang to stop Gongsun Yue!
Gongsun Fan didn't expect the situation to become so serious: "Brother, one more person who knows about this matter is more dangerous. Brother Yu went to Luyang in person. If Brother Yue has already made a move, I will insist on the villain's slander."

"Brother, go to Zhuocheng as soon as possible to make peace with Da Sima, and quickly take over Changshan and Zhongshan. With Changshan, Zhongshan and Youbeiping in hand, even if Brother Yue really makes a move, brother still has a chance to turn around."

Gongsun Zan's eyes turned hard: "If you go late, you must insist that Yuan Shao is slandering behind your back! If necessary, brother Yue can be faked dead!"

Gongsun Fan's heart shuddered, he already understood Gongsun Zan's intentions.

If only Xian Yufu died, it would be difficult to explain.

But if Gongsun Yue also "died", then it was confirmed that Yuan Shao was playing tricks behind his back.

At that time, Gongsun Zan will be able to attack Yuan Shao in the name of revenge, killing two birds with one stone!
At this time, Liu Yu's envoy also arrived at You Beiping.

Hearing that Liu Yu also sent a messenger to go south to Luyang, Gongsun Zan didn't dare to let Gongsun Fan stay, so he had to arrive in Luyang before Liu Yu's messenger!

After deploying all these, Gongsun Zan rode his horse to Zhuocheng to discuss with Liu Yu about stationing troops in Changshan and Zhongshan.

Tobu Yang.

Cao Cao hosted a banquet in his mansion and treated a special guest with great hospitality!

Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who once served as the palace guard and was in charge of the emperor's pen, ink, silk and other things.

Xun Yu had already met Cao Cao when he was in Luoyang. At that time, Cao Cao was serving as the captain of Dianjun among the eight captains of Xiyuan.

Xun Yu has also heard about Cao Cao's past fame.

Although he was born in the eunuch party, Cao Cao never stayed with the eunuchs. He not only killed Jian Shuo's uncle to show that he had drawn a clear line with the eunuchs, but also made friends with Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and other Qingliu scholars.

In the first battle against Dong, when the heroes hesitated, Cao Cao marched westward alone.

Although he was defeated in Xingyang, this defeat not only did not obliterate Cao Cao's reputation, but made Cao Cao's image a real hero for the Han Dynasty in the eyes of some scholars.

Therefore, after Guo Jia recommended Cao Cao, Xun Yu came to Dongwuyang to inquire.

Xun Yu did not meet Cao Cao directly, but stayed in Dongwuyang for a period of time and learned about Cao Cao from the people of Dongwuyang.

Most of the scholars praised Cao Cao's heroic deeds against Dong, but they also cared that Cao Cao was unwilling to defect after he was the eunuch Cao Teng.

The eunuchs have been fighting with Qingliu scholars for many years, and they are very hostile to each other.

But Xun Yu didn't care about Cao Cao's background. In fact, Xun Yu was still the eunuch's son-in-law.

However, neither Cao Cao nor Xun Yu can change this background.

Cao Cao's father was adopted, and Xun Yu was only two years old when he became the eunuch's son-in-law.

Because of the criticism he received since he was a child, Xun Yu was more willing to learn about Cao Cao's advantages beyond his background.

After several trials, Xun Yu delivered a greeting card to Cao Cao.

After receiving Xun Yu's letter of worship, Cao Cao was flattered, and asked Bao Xin more than ten times within half a day, and finally confirmed that the person who delivered the letter of worship was a hero of the Xun family in Yingchuan, who was called Wang Zuozhi by He Yong, a famous Nanyang scholar. Xun Yu!
Because Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was a corrupt official, in order to avoid Cao Song's stigma from affecting himself.

Cao Cao had always been frugal, he didn't use silk, silk, gold, jade and treasures when drinking, and he didn't eat fish or fish in his daily food. Those who don't know him hard to imagine that the thrifty Cao Cao is the eldest son of the corrupt official Cao Song!

Due to Xun Yu's sudden visit, Cao Cao saw that there was no fish in the mansion, so he went to the river to catch a few fish and sold wine to entertain Xun Yu.

Seeing the fish on his table and the wild vegetables and rice on Cao Cao's table, Xun Yu was greatly shocked.

But Xun Yu only talked about the past with Cao Cao at the banquet, and did not show any intention of contributing, which made Cao Cao feel more anxious and disappointed than he had expected.

After the banquet, Cao Cao personally sent Xun Yu out of the mansion.

Seeing Xun Yu who rode away straight away, Cao Cao felt very lonely: "Yuncheng, we are still too poor."

Bao Xin helplessly spread his hands: "Meng De, why do you have to have trouble with uncle? If there is financial support from uncle's family, we don't even have to go to the river to catch fish for a banquet."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "Father would rather take all the money to Xuzhou than subsidize me. He only cares about how to keep the hundreds of cars of money, how can he care about the world's major events?"

Just when Cao Cao and Bao Xin shook their heads and sighed, Xun Yu suddenly rode his horse and turned back, but there was a wild goose hanging on the saddle: "When I visited General Cao, I didn't prepare a gift, which is quite impolite."

"I don't know if the cook in General Cao's mansion knows the art of grilling?"

geese.

It is one of the gifts given by scholars who have official positions when they visit each other.

The characteristics of wild geese are "flying in rows and standing in rows", which means obeying the rules and being able to discipline themselves.

It symbolizes that when scholars serve in the Quartet, they are of good character, respectful, cautious and independent.

Xun Yu's gift of wild geese is a compliment to Cao Cao's frugal character.

Surprised and delighted, Cao Cao hurriedly replied, "Mr. Wen Ruo is serious! Mr. Cao also knows the art of grilling. I hope Mr. Wen Ruo will not dislike you."

Xun Yu laughed, handed the wild goose in his hand to Cao Cao, and entered Cao Cao's mansion again.

Cao Cao was originally a member of the army, and he was not hypocritical. Immediately, he rolled up his sleeves, skillfully plucked the geese to remove the dirt, and lit a bonfire in the courtyard. Sent geese.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, why did you come back again?" Cao Cao asked Xun Yu as he distributed the roasted wild goose meat.

Xun Yu made a salute frankly: "A sage wants to know the Lord, so naturally he has to think carefully."

"When I first met General Cao, Yu was deliberately rude, just to find out whether General Cao was tolerant."

"Back with the geese, I apologize to General Cao for Yu Fangcai's rudeness."

Cao Cao was greatly shocked, and laughed loudly: "Cao is lacking in everything, but this is not lacking! Mr. Wen Ruo is a famous official in the world, it is already an honor for Cao to condescend to see Cao, how can he blame rudeness? "

The more Xun Yu chatted with Cao Cao, the more speculative they became.

Both of them used to be court officials in Luoyang, and both resigned because they were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's monopoly, and they had a lot in common.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, Dong Zhuo is majestic to the world. I have no intention of beating thieves, but I have no power to do so. I wonder if Mr. Wen Ruo has any good strategies to teach me?" Cao Cao asked humbly.

But Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo's cruelty has already disgusted the people of the world. He looks powerful, but he is actually strong on the outside but on the inside."

"It won't be long before Dong Zhuo will retreat to Chang'an!"

"Of course, once Dong Zhuo is defeated and retreats to Chang'an, he will never have the desire to go east again."

"The cruel people will definitely die suddenly because of the chaos, and they won't be able to do anything anymore."

"General Cao should be more concerned about whether the situation in Kanto will turn into chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty."

"Yuan Shao tricked Gongsun Zan into stealing Jizhou, which has already planted the source of disaster for Jizhou."

"If General Cao wants to realize his ambition, he can no longer stay here in Dongwuyang."

Cao Cao stood up awe-inspiringly and bowed to Xun Yu: "Cao is hard to understand the general situation, please enlighten Mr. Wen Ruo!"

Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Xun Yu thought of the war-torn Yingchuan, and said slowly, "General Cao has to gain a foothold in Yingchuan if he wants to achieve great success!"
