Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it."

……

……

……

"Colleagues, I'm really sorry, today's business is a bit heavy, and it took a long time to deal with it, so I kept everyone waiting for a long time!"

When Zhang Yan finally appeared in the front hall with Qiao Ying, what he saw was such a scene.

Everyone has already taken their seats, and they get along fairly well with each other.

Casting his gaze towards the crowd, it can be seen that all the people present also looked at himself who appeared in the first place with somewhat curious eyes.

Among the people present, Zhang Yan had met the guests who were close and early like Tao Qian in private a few days ago, so he could recognize their identities.

It's just that those who came later like Sun Jian needed other people to introduce them.

……

"De Mao, this is Marquis Wu Cheng, the prefect of Changsha, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai. He was born as a leading general just like you."

"In the early years, the Yellow Turban rebellion broke out everywhere. General Sun followed Zhu Jun to conquer Zhangjiao in the north. Because of his bravery and fearlessness in battle, he made great contributions and was awarded the title of Sima of the other department of the imperial court."

"The year before last, before you became an official, General Sun followed Zhang Wen, the chariot general at that time, to fight against Bian Zhang and Han Sui's rebellion, smashed his army formation, and moved to the post of Yi Lang after many achievements."

"The year before last, that is, the year before you, Demao, became an official, the Xingxing rebellion in Changsha County gathered more than 1 people and called themselves generals. The court moved General Sun to be the prefect of Changsha, but within a month, General Sun not only calmed down Changsha rebelled, regained the bandit general Ou Xing, and even sent troops to Guiyang and Lingling to suppress the bandit leader, making the people of the three counties subdued."

He pulled Sun Jian back with a smile. Seeing Zhang Yan's appearance, Kong Rong immediately dragged Sun Jian to find him, and began to act as a middleman, introducing each other's identities.

Logically speaking, this matter should have been done by Tao Qian, the peacemaker, but I don't know why, since Tao Qian came into this hall just now, Tao Qian looked restless, and when he saw Zhang Yan, he just smiled. Didn't say much.

In desperation, Kong Rong had to reluctantly take over the other party's duties.

……

"Hehe, I have seen General Sun. General Sun's martial virtues are abundant, even if I have lived in a remote place in Lujiang for a long time, I have heard of it."

He made a bow to the other party, but Zhang Yan didn't show any face of a high official.

As early as when the two of them were walking towards him one after the other, Zhang Yan had vaguely guessed the identity of this middle-aged man who was wearing a general's armor and had firm eyes and brows.

He didn't invite many people, counting one Tao Qian who was not the prefect, there were only seven people at all times.

And among these seven people, except for Sun Jian who relied on martial arts to rise to the top, the others were civil servants, so naturally they wouldn't be like this man, no matter where he went, he would look like he was wearing a soft armor.

Frowning slightly, Zhang Yan pursed his lips and greeted Sun Jian.

……

"Although Yan usually has nothing to do, he also knows that as a minister, he should uphold the rules of loyalty, keep the people safe, think of serving the country at the top, and take care of the family at the bottom. The coffin is buried in plain, and there is no gold or jade hidden."

"General Sun, you have shared the country's worries, conquered the world, comforted the people in prosperity, saved the people from poverty, benefited the emperor above, and made contributions to the people below. You are indeed a model for us people with lofty ideals."

……

It can be said that Zhang Yan has no ill feeling towards Sun Jian.Not to mention anything else, just because the opponent's official position and status came from the right path, it is much better than those prefects and governors in the later years of the big man.

After all, before he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a violent theory on the Internet in his previous life:

That is, [-]% of the local officials in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, whether they were sheriffs or county magistrates, were bought with money, and of the remaining [-]%, [-]%, or even [-]% were Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. descendants of the family.

As we all know, under the system of procuratorial elections and selection of officials in the Han Dynasty, it was easy for the children of the aristocratic families to become officials, and after the aristocratic children became officials, they would continue to recommend the same clan or the children of the side clan to be officials for their own interests. The difficulty of going into politics is so low that ordinary people can't imagine.

After [-]% of the candidates are eliminated, the remaining [-]% are "good officials" who have really worked hard and climbed up from the grassroots step by step.

Is Liu Bei strong?

Of course strong.

But Liu Bei, relying on the concerted efforts of the three brothers, struggled in the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty for five or six years before he moved from Anxi County Weijuan to Pingyuan County Magistrate.

From this we can see how rare it is for Sun Jian, who also started from the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184 AD, and took less than five years to become the prefect.

In addition to his recognition of Sun Jian's ability and background, Zhang Yan's favor for Sun Jian also comes from his carefree personality.

History books once said that he was "extraordinary in appearance, generous in personality, and curious."Zhang Yan didn't care what his appearance was, but his generous temperament was actually recorded in the history books.

It is precisely because he is magnanimous and informal that seeing the suffering of the people, he brings his own dry food and pays for it to suppress the rebellions in Lingling, Guiyang and other places, and wins the unanimous support of the people in the three places.

It was precisely because of his broad-mindedness and informality that Zhang Yan felt that his plan to call them over this time had the most basic possibility of implementation.

Speaking of which, he still has something he wants to bother Sun Jian, so there is no harm in complimenting him now.

……

In this way, after searching for a long time, Zhang Yan suppressed a long string of praise words from his mouth.

Some of these words came from later generations’ comments on loyal ministers, some came from the works of Jia Yi, a great writer in the Han Dynasty, and some were simply excerpted from the historical novels of later generations, and were mixed together by Zhang Yan. It fell on Sun Jian's head.

Although from the perspective of modern people, these words of praise are inevitably too much and a bit embarrassing to look at, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, to praise a person for his loyalty and ability was to praise a person generously, that is, to be a Praise in front of everyone.

Just like Sun Jian, before he had time to open his mouth to say something to Zhang Yan, he was a little dazed by this series of compliments.

Seeing the smiling young man in the crown suit in front of him, Sun Jian suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Uh, you don't need to do this, Prefect Zhang. I, Sun Wentai, was just lucky and got to know Bo Le, so I was driven to my seat today."

"On the contrary, you, the prefect, put down the chaos of Baibo and Yellow Turban in a few months, which is no worse than when I was at the beginning."

Smiling and waving at Zhang Yan, Sun Jian looked at the young man in front of him wearing a crown suit and smiling kindly, and finally chose to bow his hands, maintaining the relationship between the two at a fairly good level.

As the saying goes, "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face", "people respect me a foot, and I respect others".

Since the other party was polite and respectful to him, and Sun Jian and Zhang Yan had no hatred at all, he naturally showed a more respectful attitude towards the other party.

It's just that sometimes things don't happen the way people expect them to.

Just when Sun Jian had finished saying hello and was about to sit back in his seat, he heard an extremely small muffled groan from behind, as if... as if the owner of the voice was so displeased.

Looking back in some astonishment, Sun Jian was seeing his eldest son, Sun Ce, looking at Zhang Yan's direction with disdain on his face, the disgust in his eyes seemed to turn into substance.

"Bofu!"

"What are you doing!?"

After softly scolding Sun Ce, Sun Jian turned around and looked around. Seeing that everyone was laughing and joking, as if they were chatting, he quickly pulled Sun Ce back from behind him.

He didn't even ask him to say hello.

Who knows what kind of moth this little bastard will come up with in a while.

And where Sun Jian didn't see, Zhang Yan's expression was also taken aback.

"Who is this kid?"

"He hummed me for nothing... Could it be that I made a mistake in something just now, which offended him?"

He looked at the young man who had been following him behind Sun Jian with a dazed expression. Zhang Yan originally thought that person was Sun Jian's bodyguard or assistant or something... But now it seems that a person at the assistant level will not be at this time. audible.

Perhaps the identity of that young man is really a bit unusual.

……

"Hey, brother Wentai, just wait!"

"I don't know... I don't know who this young master is. I, Mr. Zhang, said something that didn't go well with me just now? You might as well say it outright, so there is no need to feel resentful."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time I've met you, right?"

"Or, did we have any personal enmity before?"

PS: Chapter 13000 today, there will be another chapter 3000 in a while

Awesome!

Chapter 34 "Lengtouqing"

I have to explain something to Sun Ce. In fact, the muffled groan he just said was very soft.

How quiet is it?

That is, if everyone present did not try their best and concentrate on listening, they would not be able to hear what he said clearly.

According to the noisy environment just now, not to mention that the distance between the two is not close at all, even if they are standing face to face, whether they can hear his snoring is still another matter.

It was like Kong Rong, caught in the middle by the two parties at the moment, with a dazed look on his face, who didn't know what happened at all.

It's just that Sun Ce didn't expect that Zhang Yan is not an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken.Perhaps Zhang Yan would not be Sun Ce's opponent in a one-on-one battle, but in terms of physical fitness, the opponent was not weaker than him at all.

Some time ago, because of his own physical fitness and in order to seek a breakthrough, Zhang Yan studied the classic "Lingshu·Suwen" from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic with the help of the system.

After several months of practice, although Zhang Yan can't say how high his current level is, it is still possible to break through the original restriction of not entering the ranks and compete with those third-rate generals.

Just like just now, almost everyone except Sun Jian and Zhang Yan didn't notice Sun Ce's cold snort.

Now, after being pointed out by Zhang Yan, everyone present gradually quieted down, looking at Sun Jian's direction one by one, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

……

No, Taishou Sun, General Sun, regardless of the personal enmity between you and the old Zhang family, but they invited you to the banquet today. I'm afraid it's not very good for your son to look like this...?

……

Not only the few people present felt embarrassed, but even Sun Jian himself was sweating profusely on his forehead at this time.

Perhaps at this moment, among the people present, only Sun Ce himself is the calmest...

……

"Hmph, since when did a third-rate guy start talking nonsense?"

……

Following Sun Jian, Sun Ce actually didn't need to attend this banquet today, or he was not qualified to attend this banquet.

The people Zhang Yan invited were either prefects who were in charge of one side, or people like Tao Qian who were not prefects but could restrain many prefects' rights.

In fact, until now, Zhang Yan didn't know that Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, whom he had been wary of before, would come to Lujiang with Sun Jian, so how could he invite him alone?

In the end, it was just because Sun Ce had a bad impression of Zhang Yan that he begged Sun Jian to bring him along, wanting to see who this Lujiang prefect was.

……

At the beginning, just after entering Zhang Yan's mansion, Sun Ce's mood was not too bad.
