Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 204 Master and Disciple

Seven days later.

Youzhou, Juyong County.

Gongsun Zan occupied the former county magistrate's residence and was shutting himself in his room, wanting to be alone.

There is a saying that Gongsun Bogui's appearance is definitely a talent, otherwise he would not be favored by the eunuch and recruited as his son-in-law.

Does anyone really think that they can marry Bai Fumei just by having a loud voice?

Kuomian Zhongyi, that is, the face is broad and angular. At first glance, it is the face of a prosperous official. It is several levels better than Quan Xiaojiang. It is the kind that is popular in Shandong's marriage market.

At this moment, this eight-foot tall man with great appearance was walking around pulling his hair, sighing in despair from time to time, and his handsome face was wrinkled with worry.

After a period of siege in Juyong County, Liu Yu still couldn't stand it and surrendered to Kaicheng. He had fled here temporarily and did not have enough food and equipment to defend the city. Down.

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed. After waiting for so long, Liu Yu finally got it.

He had no intention of killing Liu Yu.

Again, power comes from the bottom up. In the final analysis, Gongsun Bogui is just a general. Although he is quite famous in the army, when it comes to Youzhou, there are probably no officials except his hometown Lingzhi. Will kill him.

The best result is to control Liu Yu to continue to govern Youzhou from the front, and he can calmly complete the isolation, and then kick Liu Yu away after draining his use value.

What a perfect plan, but something went terribly wrong.

Teacher Lu Zhi is here.

"If I had known, I would have directly sent troops to attack the city, and let Liu Boyan die in the chaos, and he would be completely innocent." Gongsun Zan suddenly stopped and cursed nervously, "It would be better than being here in a dilemma and suffering from the bird's anger!"

God knows how this teacher who returned to his hometown to live in seclusion could be remembered and re-employed. Moreover, I was also present when he welcomed him back to his hometown last time. He looked obviously exhausted, but now he is much more energetic after seeing him again. .

I can only say that ginger is still spicy, and I have to admire it.

If not long ago, Gongsun Zan had known that his teacher had returned to Jizhou as a shepherd, Gongsun Zan would have said that he would not celebrate with his crown, and celebrate that he had such a big leg, which could help mediate the relationship with Liu Yu - at least give him more military rations, just like feeding the dogs .

And now, you are asking for someone from yourself, but you are really asking for your own life.

How did Liu Yu spread the news? Could it be that the teacher had been in contact with him for a long time?

If you think about it further, maybe the suppression you received may have been caused by the teacher's instructions. It's really scary to think about it.

Let's not talk about such unreasonable things. The biggest question before Gongsun Zan is that the teacher personally came to his door to ask for someone. Will he give it to him?

Yes, that is letting the tiger go back to the mountains. There will never be such a good opportunity next time.

If not, for what reason? You must know that Lu Zhi is not a character who is easy to fool. If he dares to do anything to Liu Yu, Lu Zhi will dare to backhand and call on the entire Youzhou to kill the national traitors. Lu Ziqian's reputation is so effective. .

Is it possible? He carefully made a hand knife motion in the air.

hiss--

No, no, no one can do this kind of thing. Lu Bu's lessons are not far away. What's more, he has a recognized adoptive father. He is his own teacher. He is a true preacher and has helped a lot in his official career.

After being entangled at this point, Gongsun Zan accidentally pulled out a few more hairs.

In fact, at the beginning, he and Liu Yu just had very simple political differences. One wanted to implement benevolent politics and educate people, and treat them leniently even if they were from other races. The other felt that those who were not from our race must have different hearts, so it was best to eradicate them and kill them until no one was left. That's good.

Let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty for this kind of problem, as long as humans still exist, I'm afraid they won't be able to come up with a reason.

The relationship between the two has now become so incompatible. It is no longer clear how much publicity and personal hatred there are, and there is no point in exploring it.

Out of righteous intentions, often bring about the opposite consequences.

Liu Yu is currently under strict supervision. Could it be that by talking to him about "good intentions", the two of them can turn their differences into friendship and work together to build the beautiful Youzhou?

别闹

Therefore, Gongsun Zan was absolutely unwilling to let Liu Yu go just because of the teacher's words, even if Lu Zhi promised to take him south with him - he would not want to take the Youzhou he had obtained to compete for territory with ruthless characters like Yuan Benchu. , I’m afraid there’s something wrong with my brain.

"It feels so frustrating." Gongsun Zan sat down slumped, "It feels so painful to be warmed by the real soup."

Da da da.

Hearing the rapid footsteps outside the door, he stood up quickly, patted the dirt on his body, and yelled loudly: "I said I won't see guests, and I won't see anyone when they come. Don't you understand?"

The visitor seemed to hesitate for a moment, then mustered up the courage to open his mouth and said, "Brother, it's me."

Listening to the voice, it is from his younger brother Gongsun Yue.

"Ah Yue," Gongsun Zan relaxed and asked nonchalantly, "Is it Liu Bo'an who wants to return to Jixian again?"

"Someone is asking for an audience." Gongsun Yue said with a grimace. If he could, he didn't want to get into trouble at this time. "A group of imperial envoys came, followed by the eldest brother's junior brother, Liu Xuande from Zhuojun. They had already met with Lu Gong. , Now Lu Gong and his men are forcing their way in here, and the sergeants don’t dare to stop them.”

With the talisman in his hand, if anyone dared to stop him in this battle, Lu Ziqian could directly draw his sword and chop him down.

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately panicked and wanted to find a place to hide.

"Just say that I'm sick and can't see guests, for fear of spreading it to the teacher and Xuande." He said to his disciple outside the door, and then sighed, "Forget it, the teacher is not someone who can be deceived by such words. Let them come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old yet majestic voice sounded.

"General Gongsun is too humble." Lu Zhi walked up in a hurry, followed by the envoys, with a cold sarcasm in his tone, "If Xuande hadn't come, I would have believed this even if I didn't believe it. How could he have entered? Where is General Gongsun’s door?”

"It was the student who was wrong." After being caught, Gongsun Zan could only bow his head and admit his mistake. However, the grievance in his heart could not be dissipated. He stood up straight and replied: "The teacher is forcing me so hard, so the student can only do this." A delaying strategy."

"What are you being forced to do?" Lu Zhi found a place where Shi Shiran sat down, raised his head and asked him angrily, "Isn't it possible that I am forcing you to do this by raising troops to chase down important members of the clan and besiege the imperial territory?"

"Bo Gui, have you ever thought about it, if Liu Bo'an died, would Youzhou still be as peaceful as it is now? Aren't there enough states and counties with endless wars now?" The old man looked helpless as he hated the iron. "As a teacher, I don't want to see you being regarded as a national traitor in the history books thousands of years later!" "The student has no intention of killing him."

Faced with the teacher's hard and soft tactics, Gongsun Zan only dared to whisper - if the marriage with the prefect allowed him to enter an official career, then Lu Zhi's willingness to accept him as a teacher would completely transform him from a borderline warrior to an upright person. In order to join the ranks of scholars, the kindness he has received over the years is no greater than that of his biological parents.

No one in his position would be able to say anything harsh to Lu Zhi, even if he stamped on him, he would be numb.

"In that case, let him go and go south to Jizhou with our master." Lu Zhi waved his hand, "Liu Bo'an is also ignorant. Bogui is a rare general, but he insists on restraining his hands and feet. It is really not wise. Act of."

Originally, the more turbulent the situation became, the more important it was to ensure internal unity. For such a simple reason, Liu Yu, a veteran in politics, also overturned.

It can only be said that people who are used to being in high positions are often a little slow to subtle changes, and they are also slow to adjust their response strategies. As the only general in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan should at least be given enough respect. and support, and fighting over some alien races that are beyond the reach of others is really an abstraction.

Hearing the teacher's rare words of kindness for him, General Baima, who was traveling across the northern border, looked aggrieved like a child - not that he really had much innocence, but that Lu Zhi had a resolute and unyielding character. , commonly known as eating the soft and not the hard, selling miserably is one of the few useful tricks.

Especially when people get older, their ears become softer and they cannot listen to the pleadings of their younger generations.

"The teacher knows that students are human beings, and their only wish in life is to serve the country and wrap their bodies in horse leather." Gongsun Zan first stated that he had no selfish motives, and then accused Liu Yu of being fatuous and incompetent. Raised and cooked? All of them are as cunning and shameless as wolves on the prairie. What kind of benevolent government they engage in, in the eyes of the students, is no different from opening the door to a thief!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi nodded slightly, agreeing with his disciple's statement.

The Han Dynasty has had a long history of exchanges with foreigners. If we include the history of the two Han Dynasties together, it has a history of more than 400 years since the siege of Baideng. During such a long period of time, most of them were Han envoys who were condescending and took care of them. He acts like a grandson to others, and he often kills people and destroys the country. He can be called a diplomatic terrorist.

The reason for this is that the Han people occupy the best territory. Others cannot have enough to eat, and the poor have nothing but their pants. As long as they have the ability, they must go south to plunder. The contradiction between the two sides is fundamental, and the Han people treat The attitude of the alien race has always been tough. Even if they have taken measures such as marriage, they have been a delaying tactic.

If the foreigners want practical benefits - such as directly dividing a piece of the Duke of Normandy like Frank did, there is no way.

As a typical scholar, Lu Zhi certainly supported tough policies in his heart.

Seeing the teacher nodding in agreement, Gongsun Zan suddenly found a glimmer of hope. Regardless of the presence of his junior brother, he continued to scream and cry, almost holding Lu Zhi's thigh and crying.

"Students just want to have a foundation that can provide enough food for their troops and not be a hindrance behind their backs. That's all." He pointed to his chest and asked: "My sons risked their lives to garrison in the north, and they just want to eat." Isn’t it too much to have a full mouth?”

It’s not too much. Xu Jiashu, who was watching the show not far away, said that it’s really not too much.

No matter how selfish Gongsun Zan is, at least in this matter, he is the victim of Liu Yu's reduction of military food supply, and he cannot be said to be in the wrong anyway.

But the problem is that Liu Yu's policy of gentleness is quite good, and there is no need for you to go out and raid at all times.

Liu Bo'an also has something to say. Now is not the time when the Han Dynasty is strong, and the national power does not support any big wars such as sealing wolves and Xu Xu, plowing the courtyard and sweeping caves. Since there are fewer people and more land, absorbing a small amount of foreign races can enrich the national power. Why not?

Besides, it's not like we have completely given up on national defense. We just want you to go out less to kill people and stay peacefully in Youzhou.

In short, the dispute between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu has now become a confusing matter, and it is impossible to settle it clearly. Xu Jiashu can't think of any good ideas. He looks at Lu Zhi, wondering how the old man will arbitrate this matter.

"."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi's stoic expression relaxed a little - he was also a lifelong military veteran, so it was not difficult for him to understand the student's difficulties.

"Bo Gui," the old man sighed. He lost his initial attitude of calling for punishment and asked half-heartedly, "I know what you are thinking. I just feel that Liu Bo'an is not as good as you in everything. If this Youzhou Mu Ruo is you, I know what you are thinking." If you do it, you will definitely beat him a hundred times, right?"

As a disciple of his, it is not surprising that he did not understand Liu Yu's role in Youzhou, but he tried every means to evade and refused to let him go. He just kept criticizing the other party, fearing hatred was secondary. The key was that the opportunity was rare, and he wanted to give it a try himself.

After all, he is still a young man, his heart is higher than the sky, and he is always unwilling to be inferior to others.

It seemed that it was impossible to take him to Jizhou. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was neither angry nor disappointed. When he was young, he was also very ambitious, thinking that he could assist the king, but he could not help the emperor. An Lishu, in the end, the big man still ran all the way towards the worst ending without stopping at all.

Now it's Gongsun Zan's turn. Why can't the older generation not give the younger generation a chance if they can't do it?

"." Gongsun Zan was exposed and quickly lowered his head to deny, "The students don't dare, the teacher made a mistake."

Xu Jiashu, who was watching, almost laughed.

What's there to be afraid of? If the old man hadn't been here, I'm afraid Liu Yu would have been transported to Jixian and locked up as a human seal. Isn't it just that he was unwilling to be subordinated to others? I'm embarrassed to admit it.

Speaking of which, Gongsun Zan came from a good background - although he was a little remote, Gongsun's family had an official rank of two thousand shi, and he was considered well-known in Youzhou, and his appearance was also excellent. To call him handsome is not a compliment, but he was still a man who was capable and willing to risk his life. His reputation was earned with real swords and guns.

This kind of person is very restrained even if he doesn't regard himself as the chosen one. It's normal for him to be a little ambitious.

"Okay," Lu Zhi interrupted him impatiently, "No matter what, Liu Bo'an cannot die. If you think you are better than him, leave him to me and try to see if you can do better than him. .”

"teacher"

Gongsun Zan wanted to say something else, but Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, you can't even believe the teacher's words, and you want me to make a vow in front of you?"

Everyone could see that the old man was really angry this time.

After all, he only came here because of his status as the new Jizhou Mu and the military support of the envoy. Without these conditions, he might not even be able to see Gongsun Zan.

"Disciple, obey."

Gongsun Zan stopped talking. Although sending Liu Yu away would cause more trouble to capture Youzhou, it was still better than completely offending Lu Zhi. The fact that the matter ended like this showed that the teacher had softened his heart.

Lu Zhi stood up, shook his sleeves, walked to the middle of the envoys, mounted his horse and was about to leave, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Gongsun Zan: "Bogui, if you are in a desperate situation in the future, I will come to Xuande to protect you." Bar."

Having said that, the old man never looked back.

He is a remnant of the old era, the world is in turmoil, but the future has nothing to do with him.
