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

Chapter 248 Sun Jian went to the banquet, Zhou Yu was stunned

soon.

Sun Jian received Huang Yi's reply, and Zheng Ping hosted a banquet in Huai Ling City and invited Sun Jian to the banquet.

Sun Jian was given two more places, and he could go to the banquet with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian left Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai to guard the camp, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu accompanied him to the banquet.

Seeing that Sun Jian wanted to let Sun Ce go with him, Cheng Pu immediately advised him, "My lord, if you want to go to the banquet, you can let the last general guard you. Major generals can't go with my lord."

"If there is a young general commanding the three armies, Zheng Ping must not dare to harm the Lord."

Han Dang also persuaded: "My lord, don't take risks lightly!"

Huang Gai also tried to persuade him.

Without Sun Ce in the army, once Zheng Ping suddenly turned his back and captured Sun Jian and his son, the [-] troops would lose their backbone.

But Sun Jian shook his head and said, "Demou, Yigong, and Gongfu, since I have chosen to surrender to Qingzhou Mu, you can't call Zheng Biejia directly from now on."

"Zheng Biejia personally held a banquet in Huai Ling City, and reserved two places for this general, just to test this general's attitude."

"If Ben would lead the general away, the desire to surrender would not be sincere; if Ben would bring Ce'er and Ayu to the banquet, Zheng Biejia would not be suspicious."

Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu: "Ce'er, Ayu, would you like to take this general to Huai Ling City?"

Sun Ce was full of courage, and said boldly: "Why don't you dare! If the father goes, the child will guard the left and right with guns."

Zhou Yu said, "Uncle and elder brother are not afraid, and my nephew is not a coward. I would like to go to Huai Ling City with my uncle."

Sun Jian laughed heartily: "Jiang Dongerlang, how can you be a coward? Tonight, I will show you the heroes of this world."

"Demou, Yigong, and Gongfu, guard the camp well, and don't let Cao Cao rob the camp again, which will ruin our army's spirit."

Seeing Sun Jian's insistence, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai could only accept their orders with a sigh.

And in Huai Ling City.

Yuan Shu was unhappy.

The failure of the bet with Zheng Ping made Yuan Shu very frustrated.

Hearing that Zheng Ping was going to invite Sun Jian to a banquet in the city to discuss a joint attack on Cao Cao, Yuan Shu felt even more overwhelmed and refused to attend the banquet directly saying he was sick.

Huang Yi told Zheng Ping about Yuan Shu's claim of illness: "Mr. Xianmou, Father-in-law is unhappy. If there is a banquet, I'm afraid he will confront Sun Jian and spoil the atmosphere."

Zheng Ping didn't care about it.

If Yuan Shu didn't come, the banquet would be more fun.

If Yuan Shu was present, Zheng Ping would still have to take care of Yuan Shu's face, and this wooing would be tied up.

"Huang Yi, you go and accompany Yuan Gong."

"Before the banquet is over, don't let Mr. Yuan come to the banquet."

"If Yuan Gong insists on coming, he must notify in advance."

Zheng Ping told Huang Yi carefully.

Zheng Ping also showed enough respect and sincerity to Yuan Shu, a smooth son-in-law.

After Yuan Shu was sent to Chang'an, Zheng Ping needed Huang Yi to help Liu Bei win over former officials of Yuan's disciples, respect and sincerity for Huang Yi, so that things could go smoothly.

Peace can make money.

This thing between the gentry can't be too extreme.

If you can not be stained with blood, you will not be stained with blood.

Although force can resolve conflicts simply and directly, it can also leave disaster behind.

There are many dead assassins in this world, even a brave general cannot escape assassination.

Only benevolence can avoid extreme conflicts as much as possible.

Huang Yi now has a lot of respect for Zheng Ping, not only because Zheng Ping gave Huang Yi respect and sincerity, and promised not to implicate Yuan Shu's family because of Yuan Shu's service as an enemy, but also gave Huang Yi an irresistible benefit.

Huang Yi has a son, so he can study in Linzi City!

Although Zheng Ping didn't say in detail who he went to Linzi City to study, Huang Yi could hear the stringed songs and know the elegance.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

"Mr. Xianmou, don't worry, the officials will watch over Yue Zhang." Huang Yi retreated respectfully.

Beside Zheng Ping, Mi Heng looked at Huang Yi, who was extremely humble, and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect Yuan Shu's son-in-law to be so sensible. I was wrong before."

"Huang Yi's ear was cut off by General Guan, isn't Brother Xianmou worried that Huang Yi will be at odds with General Guan in the future?"

Zheng Ping shook his fan slowly: "It's impossible to say that Huang Yi doesn't hate Yun Chang at all. But at that time, each was his master, and Huang Yi couldn't blame Yun Chang."

"This enemy should be resolved rather than tied. If there is a chance in the future, let Yun Chang save Huang Yi or his family's life, which is enough to resolve the enmity."

You Heng smiled and said: "That's true. On the battlefield, everyone is the master, and no one can blame the other. If the official business is abandoned because of jealousy, then this Huang Yi will not be in the eyes of Brother Xianmou."

"Now that Sun Jian does not bring any generals, but only his eldest son, Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's brother-in-law Zhou Yu, he is calmly going to the banquet, and his intention of surrender must be true."

"Duke Xuande has Sun Jian's help, and he is like a tiger with wings."

Zheng Ping's eyes froze slightly: "Sun Jian used to fight against Dong Zhuo with Yun Chang and Uncle Zigan, and he was quite famous for his loyalty. It's a pity that Yuan Shu wanted to pass on the jade seal of the country and forced Sun Jian to withdraw his army, so that the fight against Dong Zhuo failed."

"Since I am a loyal general, I will try my best to recruit for the envoy."

Mi Heng asked: "Brother Xianmou, are you really going to join forces with Sun Jian to attack Cao Cao? Although Xuande has the right to fake festivals, Cao Cao also has the crime of killing Tao Qian."

"But now that Lu Bu and Zhang Miao are targeting Chang'an, if nothing happens, Li Jue and Guo Si will be defeated by Lu Bu and Zhang Miao."

"Zhang Miao and Cao Cao are inseparable. If Cao Cao is defeated, he will definitely go to Chang'an to meet Zhang Miao and work with Zhang Miao to take charge of the government."

"At that time, with Cao Cao's treachery, he will inevitably follow Dong Zhuo's example and coerce the emperor to command the princes."

"Even if Xuande has the right to fake festivals, it will be checked and balanced."

"Is it too early to break with Cao Cao?"

Zheng Ping shook his head slightly, and said: "Sun Jian is brave but has no support from the gentry, so Sun Jian is destined to be only a general. There is no essential difference between following Yuan Shu and following the envoy."

"Cao Cao is different. Not only does he have the support of the Yingchuan gentry, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are also the heroes of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao has always been friends with Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and others, not a generation who is willing to be inferior to others."

"Shijun and Cao Cao are destined to be enemies rather than friends."

"Since they are enemies, they will break up sooner or later."

"As a chess player, you must actively grasp the opportunity to break up with Cao Cao."

"Sun Jian's new surrender is just the time when he urgently needs to make a military exploit to show his heart, so Sun Jian's next offensive against Cao Cao will be more valiant than before."

"On the battlefield, strategy can only be used to win by surprise, and the morale of the army is the key to truly defeating the enemy."

"As for what you said, Cao Cao will go to Chang'an to meet Zhang Miao."

Zheng Ping paused, and there was a pleasant smile between his brows: "If Cao Cao doesn't go to Chang'an, it will be very difficult for me to play the next chess game."

You Heng said awe-inspiringly, "Brother Xianmou deliberately forced Cao Cao to go to Chang'an? But what good does this do for Duke Xuande? Forgive my stupidity, it's hard to understand the reason for this."

Zheng Ping did not give Mi Heng an answer.

In other words, Zheng Ping could not share the purpose of letting Cao Cao go to Chang'an.

This purpose involves whether Liu Bei will become the great Han Situ or the master of ZTE in the future.

In all fairness, Zheng Ping hopes that Liu Bei can become the master of ZTE.

However, the master of ZTE must be upright in order to be recognized by future generations.

Therefore, Liu Bei cannot bully Liu Xie like Cao Cao.

Even if Liu Xie is willing to take the throne in the end, history will not have a favorable evaluation of Liu Bei.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the so-called Zen position is just a formality for usurpers and traitors.

The last one who allowed the emperor to take the throne was Wang Mang!
And Liu Bei, it is impossible to agree to let the absurd thing like the emperor's Zen throne happen to him.

But Liu Bei is not the master of ZTE, so the civil and military forces who follow Liu Bei to fight the world will inevitably be liquidated by Liu Xie after the world is unified.

Even if Liu Xie doesn't have the heart, the ministers who are loyal to Liu Xie will do these things for Liu Xie.

It's not about right or wrong, it's about position.

therefore.

Liu Xie is destined not to stay on the throne forever, and needs someone to break the balance between the two emperors in the same sky, so as to give Liu Bei the righteousness to crusade.

And Cao Cao is the most suitable person for Zheng Ping's game of chess!
"Zhengping, I will tell you the answer later." Zheng Ping pondered for a moment, and said, "Now that Zhang Miao has gone to Chang'an, Yanzhou Mu Zanghong's position is extremely important."

"If Zang Hong regards Zhang Miao as his respect, it will embarrass him very much."

"After today's banquet, go to Yanzhou to test Zang Hong's attitude."

"Be sure to confirm whether Zang Hong supports or opposes Zhang Miao and Lu Bu if he learns that Zhang Miao is in charge of the government and intends to cut down the prefecture's power."

Mi Heng's heart was shocked, and he looked at Zheng Ping with even more admiration.

Before the Huainan incident was over, Zheng Ping was already plotting against Yanzhou.

Mi Heng bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry brother Xianmou, I will try to find out Zang Hong's true thoughts."

Zheng Ping nodded: "If necessary, you can go to Chenliu to find Duke Wen Li. Duke Wen Li has always been upright. If he sees Zhang Miao lose his heart, he will definitely reprimand him in anger."

On the banquet.

Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already taken their seats.

Attending the banquet together were Guan Yu, Qu Yi, Tian Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Zhang Hong, Chen Deng, Yu Jin, Man Chong, Lu Su and other civil and military personnel who had fought against Dong Zhuo with Sun Jian in the past.

Sun Jian's expression was as usual, and he asked Guan Yu and others to greet him frequently.

But Sun Ce and Zhou Yu seemed more reserved.

Especially Sun Ce, after seeing the military generals at the banquet, his madness subsided a lot.

In Sun Ce's eyes, Sun Jian was brave. Few people in this world can compare with Sun Jian's bravery. Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai are also brave generals, which are hard to find in the world.

However, during this banquet, Sun Ce felt that his vision had been greatly impacted.

In terms of Wu Yong alone, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei can all compare themselves with their father, Qu Yi, Tian Yu, Yu Jin and others are also good people.

Although Sun Ce has never seen Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Dianwei's martial arts, but his father and Guan Yu cherish each other. When talking about fighting side by side in the past, his praise of martial brave words does not seem to be false.

And Guan Yu also said that Zhang Feidian and Wei Wuyong are not next to him. Although he has the intention of being self-effacing, let Zhang Feidian and Wei be tied together instead of Qu Yi, Tian Yu, Yu Jin, etc., which means that Zhang Feidian and Wei's bravery has been recognized by Guan Yu of.

Looking at Zhang Fei and Dian Wei's inadvertently flowing fierce aura, Sun Ce, who has always been proud, couldn't help but tremble a little.

Zhou Yu also did not dare to be frivolous.

Lu Su who is about the same age and is quite proficient in the art of war, Chen Deng who is eloquent, Zhang Hong who is wise in words, and Man Chong who is proficient in laws and regulations are all heroes of the world!

At this point, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu understood why Sun Jian brought them to the banquet.

Not only to express sincerity to Zheng Ping, but also to let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu increase their knowledge.

Da da da--

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zheng Ping arrived.

Behind Zheng Ping, Mi Heng and Zhuge Jin followed.

Zheng Ping entered the table and sat at the head seat, while Mi Heng and Zhuge Jin separated Zheng Ping from left to right.

All the civil and military officials got up one after another and asked Zheng Ping to salute, Zheng Ping also bowed his hands in return.

"This is Zheng Xianmou, the son of Duke Kang Cheng of Beihai, and Qingzhou don't drive Zheng Xianmou?" Zhou Yu's eyes were a little surprised.

In terms of age, Zheng Ping is actually not a few years older than Zhou Yu, but in terms of achievements, he has far surpassed Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu glanced at Mi Heng and Zhuge Jin who were behind Zheng Ping, and felt that they were extraordinary.

Mi Heng is a bit older, but Zhuge Jin is only one year older than Zhou Yu.

Lu Su, who was seated close to Zhou Yu, introduced in a low voice: "Zhou Lang, on the left of Mr. Xianmou is a famous official from Pingyuan, Mi Heng and Ni Zhengping, whose writing and prose are superb, even Chen Liuwen Li Gong and Beihai Wen Ju Gong praised him .”

"The one on the right is Zhuge Jin, a talented man in Langya, who is also the sworn brother of Mr. Xianmou. Although he is young, he has a lot of talent. Before he reached the crown, he served as the Prime Minister of Jinan, Qingzhou."

Zhou Yu was startled all of a sudden: "So young, to be appointed as the Prime Minister? Such a talent, I didn't know it, I underestimated the people of the world."

Lu Su smiled and said, "Although Zhuge Jin is talented, his talent is about the same as mine, so it's not worth admiring."

"What is really amazing is Zhuge Jin's second brother, Zhuge Liang. Although he is only 12 years old, in terms of talent, he is the crown of all the heroes in Qingzhou!"

"It's not just the personal succession of Lord Kang Cheng, but also the disciple jointly cultivated by Lord Xuande and Mr. Xianmou."

"It can be said without hesitation that the talented person under Duke Xuande's command, who can succeed Mr. Xianmou, must be Zhuge Liang!"

"Oh, by the way, Zhuge Liang has another Kunzhong, Lu Yi, the grandson of Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang. You are also from Lujiang, so you must have heard of Lu Yi's reputation."

"This kid is only two years younger than Zhuge Liang, but his talent is also excellent. He is especially interested in the art of war. He will definitely join Zhuge Liang in the future and become famous all over the world."

Zhou Yu was even more shocked when he heard it: "It's amazing that Qingzhou has so many talents."

Lu Su didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and he talked a lot today: "This is more than that! Have you heard of Liu Ye from Huainan? Xu Shao from Runan is good at watching people. At that time, he took refuge in Yangzhou and said that Liu Ye is a talented person."

"Liu Ye is now under Duke Kang Cheng's sect, and he often competes with Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi, winning and losing each other."

Zhou Yu was stunned and said, "Liu Ye also went to Linzi City?"

Huainan is not far from Lujiang River, so Zhou Yu has naturally heard of Liu Ye.

Lu Su smiled and said, "It's just young people who haven't become officials. There are many older heroes. For example, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, the famous officials in Jizhou? Both of them have the talents of the world."

"There are also Zhao Yu, a famous official in Langya, Zhang Zhao, a famous official in Pengcheng, and Liu Hui, a famous official in Zhongshan."

This series of names, from Lu Su's mouth to Zhou Yu's ears, made this young man who was conceited of talent and learning gradually dull.
