Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 44 The Three Princes of Ping An? Two at once?

Zhuge Qiao returned to the post house.

The four generals, Zong Yu, Deng Zhi, Fu Xu, and Wang Ping, had been waiting in the post house for a long time. When they saw Zhuge Qiao arriving, the four generals all stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Mr. Qiao!"

Zhuge Qiao responded one by one: "I would be very grateful to the four generals for coming to Jiangling City to help me."

The fourth general was surprised when he saw that Zhuge Qiao was humble and elegant, which was quite a bit like Zhuge Liang. At the same time, he also had a good impression of Zhuge Qiao.

Deng Zhi clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Qiao, you're welcome. We are here under orders, and everything we do will be based on Mr. Qiao's orders."

Zong Yu, Fu Xu and Wang Ping also nodded one after another.

Zhuge Qiao's tone was also elegant, which made people feel like spring breeze: "I have already discussed it with Grand Administrator Mi and Guan Junhou."

"General Zong was transferred to Gong'an City to temporarily serve as the deputy general of General Shi, and General Fu stayed in Jiangling City to temporarily serve as the deputy general of Grand Administrator Mi."

"General Deng went to Yidu County, replaced Fan You, the governor of Yidu, and temporarily took over the governor of Yidu. He joined Yidu generals Zhan Yan and Chen Feng to garrison the three counties of Yidu."

"General Wang will stay with me."

"Do the four generals have any objections?"

Zong Yu and Fu Wei looked at each other and clasped their fists to express that they had no objection.

Deng Zhi thought more: "Master Qiao, replacing the governor involves too much. If Master Qiao is worried about the military affairs of Yidu County, it is better to let me temporarily serve as deputy general Fan You."

After all, Deng Zhi had been a prefect and considered issues more comprehensively than Zong Yu and Fu Wei.

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "Yidu County is the gateway to Sichuan from Nan County. Yidao, Xiling, and Weishan counties do not allow any mistakes."

"There are many barbarian tribes in Yidu County. If General Deng cannot temporarily serve as governor, he will have no right to appease the barbarians in Yidu County."

"Although Fan You was appointed by Meng Da, his talent is not enough to support the people and suppress the army. If Liao Li is involved again, the monarch's way out will be cut off."

"General Deng is a descendant of the Marquis of Yuan. He once served as the governor of Guanghan and has a reputation for being honest and rigorous. He also accompanied General Zuo in the Hanzhong campaign. He made clear decisions about rewards and punishments and showed compassion for the soldiers."

"The prince also said: With General Deng in Yidu County to support the people and suppress the army, there will be no worries."

Deng Zhi was excited when he heard this.

As a general from Jingzhou, Deng Zhi settled in Shu very early, but no one understood Deng Zhi's talents, and no one was willing to recommend Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi heard that Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil, was good at making friends with wise men, so he went to rely on him, but he was not reused.

When Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, Deng Zhi was just the governor of a small Picheng mansion.

Dige is the place where grain is stored, and the governor of Dige is the soldier commander who guards the garrison. Deng Zhi is not the only governor of Dige.

Liu Bei met Deng Zhi by chance and felt that Deng Zhi was quite talented, so he promoted Deng Zhi to Pi Ling. After his political achievements, he was promoted to the prefect of Guanghan.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, Deng Zhi was also recruited to accompany the army.

Whether in civil affairs or military affairs, Deng Zhi's performance lived up to the reputation of his ancestor, Yuntai general Deng Yu.

If Zhuge Qiao hadn't asked for generals this time, Deng Zhi would have served as minister after Liu Bei became queen.

It can be seen that Liu Bei valued Deng Zhi.

Now, from Zhuge Qiao's mouth, he heard the praise "With General Deng stationed in Yidu County to support the people and suppress the army, there will be no worries about the future." This gave Deng Zhi a strong sense of identity in his heart.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhi no longer refused, and solemnly swore: "It is my honor, Deng Zhi, to gain the trust of the prince and Mr. Qiao. I am here, and Yidu County is here! If there is anything wrong with Yidu County, I will fight with Yidu The whole county will perish!" Zong Yu and Fu Wei were not to be outdone and followed Deng Zhi's example in taking the oath.

Zhuge Qiao clapped his hands and praised: "I admire the loyalty and bravery of all generals very much. But I hope even more that all the generals can come to the wedding banquet between me and Jun Hou Nu in the future."

Seeing that Zong Yu, Deng Zhi, and Fu Xu all had their own tasks, Wang Ping hesitated to speak, and then lowered his head with a lonely expression.

Zhuge Qiao was good at observing words and expressions, so he naturally noticed Wang Ping's reaction.

"Chen Shou once commented that Prince Jun was insular, suspicious and looked down on himself. Now that I have seen him, he will not deceive me."

Wang Ping is loyal, brave and rigorous, and his ability is not bad, but his biggest flaw is that he is extremely unconfident and is often cautious to the point of doubting himself.

For example, Wang Ping wanted to ask Zhuge Qiao just now why Zong Yu, Deng Zhi, and Fu Shu had all gone to garrison, but he could only stand by.

But before the thought came out, Wang Ping began to doubt himself again, thinking that he was too stupid to understand Zhuge Qiao's intention.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qiao ordered: "General Zong, General Fu, you two can go to the Prefect's Mansion to find Prefect Mi to get his seal and letter of appointment."

"General Deng, you can go to Shuizhai to find the prince. Your appointment letter to Yidu County needs to be provided by the prince."

"General Wang, you will stay here for now. I have something important to tell you."

The three generals Zongyu, Deng Zhi, and Fu Wei all bowed their hands and went to get their seals and letters of appointment.

When Wang Ping saw that it was finally his turn, he took a deep breath and accepted the order.

"I heard that General Wang once asked people to read the biographies of the Han Dynasty. Do you know its great significance?" Zhuge Qiao wanted to recruit Wang Ping as a confidant, so he asked.

Wang Ping's face looked a little ashamed: "I don't know more than ten words, and I can't write. I can only let the military officials read it to me."

Zhuge Qiao put his hands on his hands and smiled: "There are dandies in rich families who have thousands of books but can't read a single word. Even if they come from a wealthy family, they are useless and mediocre. Although General Wang comes from a humble background, he has the perseverance to study. I think this is the real talent." A real man!"

Wang Ping's eyes were a little more stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard Zhuge Qiao's remarks.

But soon, Wang Ping became frustrated again: "Young Master Qiao has given me too much praise. Although the civil servants in the army have taught me how to read, I am stupid and cannot remember it."

Seeing this, Zhuge Qiao thought more about Wang Ping's self-doubt.

If you are more confident, you will be more or less proud when you hear Zhuge Qiao's praise, but Wang Ping's reaction is one of shock and frustration!
  Zhuge Qiao took out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf. The content of the bamboo slip was "Encouragement to Learning" by Xunzi, but the font used was simplified Chinese and Cai Yong's official script.

"Lao Tzu said: The beginning of all things is simplicity. General Wang cannot remember those words, not because General Wang is stupid, but because those words are too complicated."

"This is Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning" that I copied in simplified Chinese. I will give it to General Wang today."

"Every day, I will read to General Wang word for word until General Wang can recognize all these words."

Zhuge Qiao handed the bamboo slip to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping was panicking and asked the eldest son of the military advisor general to read to him word for word every day?
  How can such a thing be done?
  Although Wang Ping didn't know what simplified Chinese characters were, Wang Ping couldn't bear the feeling of having Zhuge Qiao recite it word for word every day.

Wang Ping hurriedly refused: "Young Master Qiao's kindness, the young general appreciates it. But the young general is just a humble person, how dare you trouble Young Master Qiao."

　Dear readers, please remember to read it next Tuesday.

　　Follow-up reading next Tuesday will determine whether the young author has a chance to be included in the third round of recommendations.
