Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

Chapter 17 Meeting Gongsun Zan

Zheng Yu listened carefully to Tai Shici's advice.

Whether you take refuge in Gongsun Zan or Liu Yu, each has its own advantages.Even if you don't rely on others and seek development by yourself, it's not impossible to fight for hegemony.

Therefore, Zheng Yu hesitated for a moment.

Back at the building, he pulled Su Wan out to discuss, and told her that he had a secret force in Luoshen Town and that he had taken Zhang Jaw away.

Su Wan heard that Zheng Yu still had a secret team of 5000 people, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Self-development is also a good way, but the world is not in chaos now, so I guess I can't let it go for a while. In the future, we will face the challenges of powerful princes." Extermination is not very good either. Xiao Yun, it is more beneficial to rely on a big power to develop."

Next, Su Wan helped analyze the general situation of the world and the situation in Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou.

At this time, the scope of Youzhou was huge, including most of North Korea, and Liu Yu not only had an excellent reputation in Youzhou, but also controlled a huge force. It is definitely more beneficial to get benefits from yourself.

But Gongsun Zan actually controls the military power, and the Han Dynasty is still there, so the emperor's orders still have to be obeyed.

Therefore, Su Wan suggested that Zheng Yu should hide his strength and bide his time, so as to please both sides to reap benefits.

Zheng Yu thought to himself, with the help of Su Wan and Tai Shici, it is not impossible to gain benefits from Gongsun Zan.But not taking refuge in him is considered an alliance to a certain extent.But the actual benefits can be obtained from Liu Yu, let's talk about getting an official position first.

With an opinion, Zheng Yu met Gongsun Zan first under the guidance of Su Wan and Tai Shici.

Zheng Yu stepped into Gongsun Zan's mansion, and saw a middle-aged man with a burly figure and thick hands and feet. As soon as he saw him, Zheng Yu knew that he was a typical professional soldier, and his straightforwardness made him look kind.

"It's Xiaoyun, thank you for saving Wan'er and Ziyi, Bogui is being polite."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan respectfully gave Zheng Yu a military salute, and Zheng Yu hurriedly returned the salute.

The first time I met Gongsun Zan, he left a very good impression on Zheng Yu.

"Should be, should be, the so-called help when the road is uneven, not to mention that I am a soldier. I fought against the Black Mountain bandits for several months and killed many bandits. When I saw them, my eyes were red and I rushed up. The rescue was just incidental. , the general does not need to thank you specially. Besides, Xiao Yun is just a small commander, how can he be so honored by an adult?"

After a few words, Zheng Yu spoke impeccably.On the one hand, on the surface, he will never be greedy for merit; on the other hand, he emphasizes that he is an officer of the imperial court and cannot rely on him now; on the other hand, on the surface, although he is young, he is still a commander in chief.In short, flattery has to be flattered, and self-esteem has to be fought for.

When Gongsun Zan saw Zheng Yu's outstanding talent, and heard his words of neither humble nor overbearing, he immediately looked at him with admiration.He was courteously ushered to his seat, asked his servants to serve tea, and then asked about General Liu's breakout.

Zheng Yu seriously explained the battle of Qingzhou to Gongsun Zan in detail.

Thinking of how brutal the battle was at that time, Zheng Yu still has lingering fears when he talks about it now.

Zheng Yu was most concerned about whether General Liu had succeeded in breaking through the siege, but he didn't know any news about it all the way, so he hurriedly asked Gongsun Zan.

It turned out that the main force of the Black Mountain Army was indeed attracted to the north by Zheng Yu's breakthrough, but soon after they discovered that the real direction of the breakthrough was to the south, they immediately dispatched troops to encircle them.Afterwards, many Yellow Turban troops joined the battle, so General Liu was still blocked. In the end, General Liu personally led his troops to disperse and break through the encirclement, and only nearly a thousand people came out, and the rest were wiped out by the whole army.

This battle was extremely tragic, and General Liu also died in battle!

Gongsun Zan said regretfully: "General Liu is a good man, and he is a good soldier. He is a role model for our soldiers. The imperial court has commended him. You, Xiaoyun, were also commended. It's not easy. It's not easy to cover the army to break through, and finally Most of the troops have been brought out. I also heard that you broke out first, then turned around and entered the formation to save Paoze, this is a great righteousness!"

Obviously, Gongsun Zan admired Zheng Yu's military personality very much.

"I am like this. I will never leave my comrades-in-arms. If I want to live together, I will die together. Besides, since as a soldier, I live a life of licking blood with knives. Death is not terrible. After 18 years We are a good man again!"

Zheng Yu said it very kindly, which was exactly the temper of Gongsun Zan.

Hearing Zheng Yu's words, he nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true that General Liu praised Xiaoyun very much. He is really a natural talent. But I still want to thank Xiaoyun on behalf of Wan'er and Ziyi. Can you give some advice to my subordinates in the future?" Fan, Xiaoyun is the God of Killing killed from the dead on the battlefield."

Zheng Yu scratched his head, pretended to be simple and honest, smirked for a while, and then said: "I am still young, and it is because of General Liu's good teaching that I am what I am today. To be honest, for General Liu's kindness, Xiao Xiao Yun is never forgotten. In the end, I dared to appoint me, a recruit who had only joined the army for more than three months, as the commander-in-chief, and handed over the most important task of covering the breakout to Xiao Yun. This is my temper. He believed me and I We must reassure him that we will never live up to his expectations.”

Hearing what Zheng Yu said, Gongsun Zan couldn't help blinking his eyes, and praised: "Okay, okay, that's really well said! This is what a person should be, and even more so for his subordinates, so he lives up to the heavy trust. It's a pity that General Liu was the last He was still martyred for the country, he broke through the rear of the palace to cover the army, but in the end he failed to stand out to many soldiers, which shows how tragic the battle was at that time."

The meeting went very well. Gongsun Zan attached great importance to Zheng Yu. Not only did he arrange a nice mansion for him, he also specially invited him to dinner, introduced his son Gongsun Xu and other main subordinates to him, and gave him a lot of gifts. If there are few things, its desire to win is very obvious.

For Zheng Yu, the things he sent were of course accepted with a smile, and the matter of wooing will be discussed slowly.

Gongsun Zan was a vassal, and he was able to control the four continents in the end. He was not a reckless soldier, but very scheming, so he was not in a hurry, he moistened things quietly.

At the banquet, Gongsun Zan placed him next to him and valued him very much.Wan'er was seated as the deputy host, and Tai Shici also attended the banquet, but his seat was relatively far behind.

Gongsun Zan said to Su Wan: "Wan'er, you have to give Xiaoyun an extra glass, he is your savior."

Su Wan stood up, blessed Zheng Yu, and said respectfully: "Mr. Zheng, I thank you for your life-saving grace. I will drink this glass first!" After speaking, she drank a large glass.

Anyway, the two of them were just playing. Zheng Yu stood up and said to Gongsun Zan and Su Wan: "I offer a toast to the adults and the couple, which can be regarded as the respect of the juniors. I wish you a happy union for a hundred years, and you will always be young!"

After finishing speaking, he drank a big glass. The wine of this era is much worse than the liquor of later generations, so he also let go of his arms and drank a lot, showing the boldness of a soldier, which made Gongsun Zan even more fond of it.

Seeing what Zheng Yu said, Gongsun Zan glanced at Wan'er, smiled awkwardly, and drank it down.

Su Wan gave Zheng Yu a blank look, then smiled and drank the wine. She has a good capacity for alcohol, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be a diplomat.

Seeing Su Wan's obsequiousness, Gongsun Xu, who was sitting across from her, had his eyes shining brightly, not hiding his greed.

It made Zheng Yu very annoyed when he saw it, and the banquet ended in this friendly atmosphere. If it weren't for the strange look in Gongsun Xu's eyes when he looked at him at the end, Zheng Yu would still be in a good mood tonight.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Xu's gaze made him as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
