I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 432 We Should Be Friends

Zhang Fei's knowledge has indeed increased a lot compared to before, and his vision has also broadened.

After all, the people Zhang Fei has been in contact with all year round are all people of the same level as Xun Yu, Tian Yu, and Tian Chou.

The changes brought about by these people are invisible.

The subtle power is unimaginable to ordinary people.

After hearing Liu Jian's praise, Zhang Fei was very happy.

But different from before, the current Zhang Fei will not easily put joy on his face.

He cupped his hands to Liu Jian and said, "Brother praises too much, I can't afford it."

"I don't have that kind of vision. I usually listen to what Wen Ruojun and the others say. I just pick up a ready-made one."

Liu Jian laughed loudly: "It is also a great ability to be able to pick up people off-the-shelf. Some people want to pick up people's teeth, but they still don't understand."

"Tell me, let Brother Wei hear what you picked up ready-made?"

Zhang Fei was rude to Liu Jian, and he let it go, he immediately said solemnly with a straight face:

"Today Dong Zhuo is chancellor, supporting the emperor, and the west of Hangu is his foundation. Although he does not have the sincerity of the gentry and princes, his army and horses are still strong. Especially to the west of Yongzhou is Liangzhou. Dong's reputation in Liangzhou is quite good. To win the hearts of the Qiang people, as long as the Dong family sits on the court and governs, reclaims the Guanzhong Plain, recruits soldiers from Liangzhou, and takes advantage of the danger of Hangu to go east to fight for the world, it will be like the strong Qin 400 years ago, which is extremely difficult to deal with. "

Liu Jian nodded with a smile.

Regardless of whether Zhang Fei thought these words himself or heard others say them, it is a kind of progress for Zhang Fei himself that he can say these words in front of his face so smoothly.

"Continue." Liu Jian encouraged him with a smile.

Zhang Fei continued: "Dong Zhuo has an orthodox court, and there is no shortage of food and grass to die. Given time, it must be a serious problem for the lord's confidant, but fortunately Dong Zhuo is over sixty years old, and his lifespan is not long. If he is as old as the lord, that's true." It’s just something big happened.”

"Then what does this have to do with letting Lu Bu go?"

Zhang Fei walked to Liu Jian's desk and poured himself a jug of clear water.

What he said just now made his throat dry.

Zhang Fei raised his head and gulped all the water down his throat.

Then I saw him wipe his mouth vigorously.

"According to the current situation, if Dong Zhuo dies, there will be no one in the Xiliang army who has Dong Zhuo's prestige, but there are only three people who are qualified to inherit his position."

"I heard that Dong Zhuo also had a son in the past, but unfortunately he died early. During the war between the north and the south, he had no heirs to inherit the inheritance because of the untimely time. Later, he had a second son when he was old, but he is now in his early tenth year. Although he can inherit the family business, he can't. Inherit the foundation."

"After all, the second son of this young man has no prestige in the army or in the court. How can he overwhelm the officials and the emperor, the queen mother? Even Xiliang soldiers will not be convinced!"

"However, apart from these two sons, those who can inherit Dong Zhuo's foundation in the court and the Xiliang Army will get three people!"

"One is Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min."

"The second is Dong Zhuo's legacy son Dong Huang."

"The third is Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law."

"These three people are barely orthodox when it comes to family orthodoxy, but when it comes to qualifications, they are still on par."

"And Dong Zhuo has not yet clearly designated the person who should inherit his position."

"Thus, all three of them have a certain right to speak and influence under Dong Zhuo's command."

"The generals of the Xiliang Army are all rebellious and independent people."

"This will lead to disaster."

Liu Jian was quite satisfied with Zhang Fei's answer.

"What Yide said is true. I am very pleased that you have this insight. However, from what you said just now, these things seem to have nothing to do with Lu Bu."

Zhang Feidao: "It's not entirely true. When Lord Wen Ruo discussed the situation in the Northwest, he once said that although Lu Bu was a surrendered general under Dong Zhuo's command, he had the name of a righteous son. At the same time, because of his bravery and skill in fighting, he was deeply tabooed by the Xiliang Army."

"Dong Zhuo can be suppressed in fashion. Once Dong Zhuo dies, there will be a gap between the various departments of the Xiliang Army and Lu Bu! In addition, Dong Zhuo's three heirs must form factions in the army if they want to succeed. It can make the situation even more chaotic.”

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and poured himself a jug of clear water, then raised the jug at Zhang Fei from a distance.

"There is a ban on alcohol in the army, you can't drink too much, otherwise you should conspire with Yide to get drunk today, brother, you have really grown up."

Zhang Fei smiled and lifted up the wine cup: "Drinking water is enough, you can get your brother's praise, but you can drink for three days if you win!"

The two brothers laughed loudly, and then each poured water into their mouths.

Cool and refreshing, coupled with the joyful mood at this time-it's really refreshing!
Not long after, I saw Yan Liang and Lu Weihuang coming to the commander's tent to see Liu Jian.

At the same time, the two of them brought another person under custody, and it was Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law that Zhang Fei said just now.

When Niu Fu saw Liu Jian, his face immediately turned red, his lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say.

It's not that Niu Fu is afraid of death, he is also a veteran of the Xiliang Army. Although his skills have always been regarded as fighting wolves in the army, Niu Fu still has the ambition and strength of a soldier.

The reason why he was in a sluggish state at this moment was not because he was afraid of death, but because he himself felt that he was too ashamed.

If there was a crack in the ground, Niu Fu would have to dig it up to make the hole bigger, and go directly into it to set up a monument for himself.

Liu Jian praised Yan Liang and Lu Weihuang a few words, and said that he would definitely reward them for their merits.

Yan Liang and Lu Weihuang were overjoyed, and immediately thanked Liu Jian.

Liu Jian looked at Niu Fu, walked up to Niu Fu himself, and untied him from the rope.

"General Niu, we meet again."

It was just a simple sentence, which really made Niu Fu feel ashamed.

After letting Liu Jian and Zhang Fei play around like this over and over again, Niu Fu was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, he is still reluctant to die.

"Come here, serve the meal, and Yide and I will clean up the dust for General Niu!"

When I was young, I saw Hebei sergeants serving wheat rice and some green vegetables, which were divided into three portions for Liu Jian, Zhang Fei, and Niu Fu to eat respectively.

These days, it is not easy to be able to eat a portion of green vegetables in the army.

It has to be said that the level of Liu Jian's hospitality for Niu Fu's meal today is the highest level for military prisoners.

After a night of fighting, Niu Fu was exhausted and was captured by Yan Liang and others. He was already hungry and unable to control himself.

He hurried forward, picked up the wheat rice, and pulled it into his mouth vigorously.

Seeing how delicious Niu Fu's food was, Liu Jian and Zhang Fei couldn't help but increase their appetites.

Zhang Fei immediately picked up the tableware and started to eat.

For people like Niu Fu, he actually looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, but Zhang Fei has already analyzed it himself. If he wants to disintegrate the powerful Guanzhong court after Dong Zhuo dies, not only Lu Bu needs to survive , Niu Fu is the same.

Liu Jian chewed and ate slowly, not because he deliberately pretended to be reserved, but because he had a bad stomach in his previous life. In this era, he pays more attention to health preservation in some subtle places. .

Originally, the rice in this era was relatively hard, and there were no refined grains. Although people would not suffer from diabetes or the like, once there was something wrong with the stomach and intestines, there was no specific medicine to treat it.

Liu Jian's emphasis on physical health is not entirely due to his own life.

This is also for the sake of his great cause.

As a time traveler, he naturally knows that in this era, sometimes longevity is also a kind of political victory.

People who live long, in fact, sometimes don't need to do too many things...

Live, live, live and win.

To borrow the words of a person from the previous life, a group of princes Mushou, if you boil them all to death, you will become king and hegemony.

After finishing the meal, Niu Fu put the utensils on the table, bowed his head and then remained silent.

Seeing his listless appearance, Liu Jian couldn't help but want to laugh.

"General Niu, don't you just eat and don't wash the dishes?"

Niu Fu was stunned when he heard the words, not knowing how to answer.

"General Niu, what you have done this time is a bit nasty, and it is really disreputable."

Hearing this, Niu Fu burst into anger and grievance instantly.

"Liu Deran! You and I once exchanged letters and agreed to fight Yuan Shao together. Baosi prefecture was a place of water and soil. However, you broke your promise and led your troops to attack our army camp at night. You wiped out our soldiers, killed my generals, and destroyed our food and grass. Take a bite out of your words, you, you really deserve to be punished!"

As soon as Niu Fu finished speaking, he heard Zhang Fei slam the table heavily, and roared angrily, "You are presumptuous!"

Niu Fuqi said: "You are presumptuous!"

Liu Jian said lightly: "Who is presumptuous?"

Although the words are plain, but for some reason, they are extremely intimidating, making people tremble all over.

Even fierce generals like Zhang Fei and Niu Fu fell silent after hearing Liu Jian's calm words.

Niu Fushicai and Liu Jian's tit-for-tat momentum is also gone at this moment.

But he was still unconvinced when he looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said sternly: "I joined forces with you and Lu Bu to resist Yuan Shao and defend Sizhou, but I was sincere, but you and others were the first to break their promises, do you really think I don't know?"

"Okay, when you go back to Xingyang to prepare your troops, why did you go to Luoyang secretly? Who can be punished?"

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Niu Fu's complexion suddenly changed.

He thought Liu Jian was attacking him on purpose, but he never expected that the other party would be able to guess what he and Lu Bu were thinking.

Although Liu Jian didn't directly state his purpose, but since he can say so, it shows that his side can't hide it from him at all.

Thinking of this, Niu Fu couldn't help feeling helpless.

Originally, he wanted to capture Lu Zhi to threaten Liu Jian, but he never thought that if Lu Zhi was not caught, he would let Liu Jian be captured alive first.

The last time I was captured alive by Liu Jian.After the peace talks with Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian just let himself go back.

This time, I'm afraid there is no hope...

Niu Fu felt sad, but after all he was a general of the imperial court, even if he died, he must die with his head held high and his chest held high.

Speaking of this, Niu Fu stood up, looking as if he was about to accept the punishment.

"Now that Niu has been captured by you, there is nothing to say. If you want to kill him or cut him up, you can do whatever you want."

No, but Liu Jian said: "General Niu misunderstood, Liu didn't mean to kill you, on the contrary, in Liu's heart, he also wanted to become a pair of close friends with Niu Zhonglang in the future, and you and I will cooperate and implement together. New Deal, from your standpoint, we should not be enemies, but colleagues, right?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, his heart suddenly came to him.

It's been a long time since I heard my brother fooling people.
