Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 262

Simple gossip, mostly trivial details.

The snuggle after dinner, the warmth is self-evident.

The next day.

Zheng Ping got up early and put the tulle lightly on Kong Su's body.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and the joy is intoxicating and exhausting.

Just after breakfast, Zhang Fei's loud voice rang out outside Zheng's courtyard: "Mr. Xianmou, my old Zhang is here again."

Zheng Ping tidied up his clothes and went out with a fan. He was not polite to Zhang Fei: "You came to my courtyard early in the morning and yelled, Yide, if you can't tell me something serious, I can only go back to being a villain in front of Shijun , saying that you should abstain from drinking for three years as a punishment for being drunk and mistaken."

"Mr. Xianmou, don't be angry. If you get angry, you will have to drink medicine and suffer!" Zhang Fei, with his arms bare, held a big cattail fan in his right hand, and fanned himself closely to dispel the heat of June for Zheng Ping.

Seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, Zheng Ping had a vague guess.

Let Zhang Fei come to look for him early in the morning, and fan him so intimately, he must have something to ask for.

Zheng Ping shook his feather fan, and said with a straight face: "Yide, I have my own fan, and I don't need your attention. I have always enforced the law impartially, and never favoritism."

"If you have official business, I will handle it impartially; if you have private business."

Zhang Fei patted his chest, and assured him: "It must be a business matter! Mr. Xianmou, is my old Zhang the kind of person who will be selfish? You have misunderstood me!"

Glancing around frantically, Zhang Fei said mysteriously, "Mr. Xianmou, brother brought out the peach blossom wine from his collection yesterday."

"I wanted to drink it, but my elder brother scolded me, saying that Mr. Gongda is coming to visit today, and this peach blossom wine is for entertaining Mr. Gongda."

"Brother has invited Mr. Gongda many times, but Mr. Gongda declined them all. Today, Mr. Gongda took the initiative to visit, and my brother brought out peach blossom wine. I think this Mr. Gongda is going to work under the command of my brother."

"Eh? Mr. Xianmou, are you listening?"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes.

"Listen, this is why you came to find me so early in the morning?" Zheng Ping glanced at Zhang Fei, and started to leave: "I don't have time to listen to you chatting here."

Zhang Fei was in a hurry, stopped Zheng Ping quickly, and spoke faster: "Mr. Xianmou, don't worry! I heard that Mr. Gongda is good at using troops and appeasing the people."

"I just thought, this second brother has Chen Yuanlong and Lu Zijing as two military advisers under his command, but my elite battalion has only one military adviser, Mr. Zigang."

"Now the Ruishi Battalion has a strength of 5000 people, and one military division is not enough."

"If elder brother succeeds in enlisting Mr. Gongda, can Mr. Xianmou let Mr. Gongda come to my elite camp as a military advisor?"

"It's not that I praised Haikou, among the Sixth Battalion of Qingzhou, I am the only one who respects the Magi the most."

Is this Yide a dog nose?

Did he smell Xun You's ability in military strategy so quickly?

Zheng Ping did not promise, but slowly shook his fan: "I heard that Yide is in Linzi City recently, and he used immortal wine to recruit warriors."

"There are more than 100 altars of Immortal Brew, and it is said that anyone who can survive three tricks under Yide's snake spear can drink a jar of Immortal Brew for free."

"You can think of using immortal wine to recruit warriors, but can't you think of a way to let Xun Gongda go to your sharp warriors as a battalion commander?"

Zhang Fei said cautiously: "Mr. Xianmou, this valiant soldier is different from a famous official. The valiant soldier can win him over with wine, and this official virtuous has no shortage of wine."

"What's more, Mr. Gongda is a talented person respected by the eldest brother, and I can't directly grab it."

Seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, Zheng Ping couldn't help but be amused: "You can't force it, so can I help you force it?"

Zhang Fei approached again and slammed the cattail fan on Zheng Ping, making the cool breeze more pleasant.

"Mr. Xianmou, in my heart, you are a first-class wise man who is unrivaled in the world, and only you can help my elite battalion to add more military advisors." Zhang Fei didn't feel ashamed or cheeky at all. Exaggerate.

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Don't think too much, Yide. Mr. Gongda went to the Ruishi Camp as a military advisor, isn't that overkill? If you really want to snatch a military advisor back, I have a good candidate, but the distance is a bit far away."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up: "I listened to Mr. Xianmou, so I won't go grab it from my elder brother. I don't know which company Mr. Xianmou recommends. It doesn't matter if you stay far away, I will invite you in person."

Zheng Ping's eyes were sly: "The Central Plains is chaotic, and many talented people have places to avoid disasters. There is a water mirror village in the south of Xiangyang, where many talented and famous officials gather."

"For example, Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and Pang Degong, famous officials in Xiangyang, often talked about the current situation in Shuijingzhuang, and many talented scholars came here admiringly."

"Mr. Pang De has a nephew named Tong, who is fifteen years old. Although he looks simple in appearance, his classics and thinking are far superior to the young scholars in Nanzhou."

"In terms of talent and intelligence, he is not weaker than Ah Liang."

"However, standing out from the crowd will only make the crane forget the ability to soar to the nine heavens. Only when the group of cranes fly together and compete for the name of dragon and phoenix can they be proud of the universe and live up to their amazing talents and learning."

"If Yide is interested, you can ask the envoy for a mission to Xiangyang. The name is Jieshan Liubiao. It is really a search for talents."

"In this way, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Zhang Fei's breathing gradually became short of breath: "Isn't talent weaker than Ah Liang? Mr. Xianmou, don't you lie to me? Ah Liang's talent is obvious to all in Qingzhou!"

"Even Liu Ye, who was asserted by Xu Shao to be known as the most talented person in the world, can't compare to Ah Liang's talent."

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "If Yide doesn't believe it, I can only believe it to Ziyi. Jugong and the military adviser who wants to be Yangzhou Biejia and the Fei army camp are a bit at a loss."

"If Pang Tong can be trained for a few years, he will surely be able to compete with Xian Dengying for the top position in the Sixth Battalion."

Zhang Fei suddenly became anxious: "Mr. Xianmou, you misunderstood! I believe it, how could I not believe it? I will go to find my elder brother, and I will definitely snatch that boy named Pang Tong, oh no, please go back to Linzi City!"

"Mr. Xianmou, I won't bother you anymore."

Just when Zhang Fei was about to leave, Zheng Ping called out: "Yide, when you go to Xiangyang, first go to Peiguo to find Brother Yuanhua."

"Brother Yuanhua has admired the name of Zhang Zhongjing in Nanyang for a long time, and he has long wanted to discuss medical skills with Zhang Zhongjing, but he has not been able to visit him because of the war."

"Going south to Jingzhou this time, let Brother Yuanhua go with you."

Zhang Fei smiled instantly: "Mr. Xianmou, do you want me to invite Zhang Zhongjing back to Qingzhou?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Ping's mouth: "Zhang Zhongjing will not leave Jingzhou easily, but in order to show the envoy's admiration for the doctors, Yide can hold a famous doctor meeting in Xiangyang for the envoy."

"Headed by brother Yuanhua and Zhang Zhongjing, we gathered famous doctors from Jingxiang to discuss medical principles together."

"The famous officials and talents in Jingxiang must have been ill for a long time. This famous doctor's meeting can also win the favor of Jingxiang scholars for the envoy."

"The chief general of the Sixth Battalion in Qingzhou, you are the only one who can do this, Yide, your second brother is not capable!"

"As soon as the Famous Doctors Association is held this time, maybe Pang Tong will take the initiative to follow you back to Qingzhou."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "I knew that Mr. Xianmou would definitely give me a good plan. I asked Mr. Zigang to go with me, and maybe I could invite a few more talents to return to Qingzhou."

Looking at Zhang Fei who left happily, Zheng Ping smiled: "Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, how can Pang Tong be missing? Tiger General of Han, how can Huang Zhong be missing?"

"Liu Biao is a well-behaved generation who likes fame and despises practical things. This talented and fierce general, why don't you give it to the envoy."

The three states of Qing, Xu, and Yang are under control, and talented people from these three states have also been promoted and appointed one after another.

They are all from their own family, so naturally they can't squeeze the wool.

Naturally, Zheng Ping set his sights on the four prefectures of Yan, Yu, Jing, and Yi that could be squeezed.

Most of the talented people in Yanzhou and Yuzhou were recruited by Zang Hong and Cao Cao, and Yizhou is too remote, and it takes at least half a year to go back and forth. If you want to lobby the talented people in Yizhou, it doesn’t take a year. It is impossible.

Spending a year lobbying for the talents of Yizhou is not worth the candle for Qingzhou.

After all, the people who went to lobby were themselves talents that Qingzhou had conquered.

Let Zhang Fei go to Xiangyang to stay for a few months, and return in time if there is a war.

But let Zhang Fei go to Yizhou to stay for a few months, let alone return, whether he can get news of the war or not.

Jingzhou is different.

Not only is there a lot of talented people in Jingzhou, but there are also many talented people who avoid disasters in Jingzhou because of the chaos in the Central Plains.

Let Zhang Fei take a trip to Jingzhou, not only can he befriend Liu Biao, the Han family clan, but also promote Liu Bei's reputation in Jingzhou.

This is the same routine that Zheng Ping used to make Liu Bei famous in Xuzhou at the beginning.

Going up the army to attack and plan is also to plan people's hearts.

Both Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei, the shepherd of Qingzhou, respected the emperor of Chang'an, and there was no deep hatred between Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

Liu Bei used normal means to become famous in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao couldn't stop it at will.

If Liu Biao didn't even have this kind of capacity, it would make Jingzhou scholars look down on Liu Biao even more.

After all, Liu Bei today is the general who conquered the north, the shepherd of Qingzhou, and the fake festival, and he also contributed to the destruction of Yuan Shu's forces and the stabilization of the two states of Xu and Yang. In terms of status and reputation, he has far surpassed Liu Biao.

Knowing that Zhang Fei was going to Xiangyang as an envoy, Liu Bei was a little puzzled at first, but after hearing Zhang Fei's purpose of going to Xiangyang, Liu Bei quickly agreed.

My third younger brother is going to Xiangyang to make a name for himself and seek talents, so why not agree?
Zhang Fei played a trick and talked about seeking fame and talent, but he didn't talk about Pang Tong.

Although the chief general of Qingzhou Sixth Battalion has good personal relationships and sympathy for each other, personal relationships are private friends, and talents are still to be snatched!
Baipaoying robbed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Zhang Fei's eyes were red with anxiety.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici are both shepherds of the same state, so they don't need to grab any talents they want, just recruit and invite them directly.

Chen Dao's Baimu soldiers were the personal battalion, Liu Bei put in those who needed any talents; Sun Jian's broken barracks were [-] elite soldiers selected from the [-] Huainan soldiers.

Why don't we go to Xiangyang to snatch some capable people? Zhang Fei is really afraid that the sharp soldier battalion first formed in Qingzhou will be compared to the other five battalions.

After dealing with Zhang Fei's matter, people reported that Xun You had arrived in Taoyuan.

Surprised and delighted, Liu Bei hurriedly rode his horse to Taoyuan with his personal guards.

As soon as he saw Xun You, Liu Bei didn't bother to tie the horse, and strode towards Xun You, bowed his hands together and bowed deeply, apologizing, "Mr. Gongda, forgive me, I'm late!"

Xun You was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty is busy with official duties, so I am bothering you."

Liu Bei's tone was full of admiration: "Although the official business is important, it can be judged at night. However, Mr. Gongda is exhausted, and it is not easy to come here. If you keep Mr. Gongda waiting for a long time, wouldn't it be cold to the heart of a sage?"

Xun You was quite moved.

Liu Bei didn't complain to Xun You at all because he was declined the last few invitations. He apologized to Xun You for being a little late, and his words and expressions were not false, which made Xun You feel good.

Liu Bei stepped forward to take Xun You's arm again, and invited Xun You to enter the Taoyuan together.

This kind of intimacy has no intention of guarding against it, which moves Xun You even more.

You must know that a high-ranking person like Liu Bei will always have personal guards around him.

Swimming with arms together means that Liu Bei has no guard against Xun You!

If Xun You had the intention of assassinating, Liu Bei would have to die on the spot.

This is why Xun You was moved by Liu Bei's arm.

To get away from stabbing Qingji, he had to kill his wife and cut off his arms to beg for sympathy, and then he managed to get within ten steps of Qingji.

And Liu Bei directly let Xun You enter within half a foot.

Who wouldn't be impressed by this kind of mind and pride?

Peach blossom wine was served, and Liu Bei invited Xun You to sit at the same table and talk with each other.

Whether it is swimming with arms or sitting at the same table, it is a manifestation of trust.

During this period, whenever Xun You had the slightest bad intentions, Liu Bei would suffer the consequences.

Liu Bei is very talkative.

Especially for a great talent like Xun You, Liu Bei's language charm can often resonate with the great talent.

"Mr. Gongda used to have great righteousness in his heart. He gathered righteous men to assassinate Dong Zhuo. This heroic act made Bei very admired."

"It's really an honor to have a drink with Mr. Gongda today."

Xun You said humbly: "Compared to Xuande Gongyi's feat of saving 50 starving people in Qingzhou and saving 50 hungry people, the failure of You assassinating Dong is just ridiculous, and cannot be worthy of Xuande Gong's praise."

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Mr. Gongda, don't underestimate yourself! If Mr. Gongda's righteous deeds were not there, how could the world be awakened and the people attack Dong?"

"As the saying goes, it's up to man to plan, and God to make things happen. Although Mr. Gongda failed to assassinate Dong, his heroism is still widely spread in the world. If he doesn't praise him highly, won't he let the righteous suffer wronged?"

Paused.

Liu Bei personally poured a bottle of wine, raised the bottle to respect Chang'an, and said, "This bottle of peach blossom wine is for the heroes who died for righteousness with Mr. Gongda's assassination of Dong in the past!"

Watching Liu Bei raise a bottle to Chang'an, and then spill the wine on the ground to pay homage to Dong Yishi's dead soul, Xun You couldn't help being shocked.

Thinking of He Yong, Wu Qiong and others who died because of assassinating Dong, Xun You couldn't help feeling secretly: "It's a blessing that there will be another hero in the world, and I will remember your achievements!"

Liu Bei poured another drink, and handed it to Xun You with both hands: "This bottle of peach blossom wine, Mr. Jing endured the humiliation, and finally joined Master Lu in killing Dong thief, and his long-cherished wish was fulfilled."

Xun You is awe-inspiring.

Everyone in the world knew that Lu Zhi was connected with Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, but few people knew that Xun You had a lot of help in Lu Zhi's plan to kill Dong Zhuo.

But today, Liu Bei emphasizes his merits, respecting Xun Youyou and punishing Dong's heroic deeds.

With his hands trembling slightly, Xun You looked at the clear and somewhat peach-blossom wine, and said sincerely: "The great man has Duke Xuande, how lucky he is!"
