Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 228 Just wait and see, things will eventually change!

Liu Zhai frowned and asked in an unhappy tone: "Why don't we take action? Where has King Langya gone? Why wasn't this kind of information clear in advance?"

"My subordinates have sent people to investigate," the follower replied with a normal expression, but he knew very well that his master must be unhappy at this time.

This attendant was named Xiao Gan, who was also a Huns and came from a noble family. He was one of Liu Zhai's right-hand men. He was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also thoughtful. Liu Zhai left many trivial matters to him.

Before entering the door, Xiao Gan understood the situation and what happened in the tavern, so it was not surprising.

Xiao Gan showed no signs of fear, and said bluntly: "General, you also know that we didn't come here this time for King Langya. whereabouts."

Liu Zhai looked up at him and said, "Are you dissatisfied with my previous decision?"

Xiao Gan shook his head: "No, it's just that the general has stayed in Qingzhou for a long time because of a Central Plains woman. If he hasn't returned to the country for such a long time, someone might start talking about it. Besides, the Wuxiang Marquis of the Han Dynasty went north, and the situation in the country is unknown. This is the time to make great achievements.”

Liu Zhai heard the persuasion in the words and laughed: "I will definitely get this girl Yang Xianrong. Since he values ​​the so-called people with both civil and military skills, I will definitely participate in the Xingtan Forum!" This smile, with a firm look in his eyes, immediately dispelled the gloom on his face.

"Why is this necessary?" Xiao Gan felt that this move was inappropriate.

Liu Zhai said: "Things are not as complicated as you think. I am not just for a woman. I still want to take this opportunity to explore the depths of the Central Plains and Xianbei."

"Xianbei people?" Xiao Gan was very confused, "What does the Xingtan forum of the Central Plains people have to do with the Xianbei people?"

"This Xingtan forum is related to the Xianbei people," Liu Zhai sneered, "None of the Xianbei tribes are stable, and all of them are ambitious. Last month, Tuoba Xianbei teamed up with Liu Kun to sneak attack on me. In the clan city, now in the northeastern region, Murong Xianbei is competing with Duan Xianbei again, which shows that this clan has great ambitions. We cannot just let them go just because they look weak, otherwise we will make the same mistake as the Chinese people."

Xiao Gan said: "Even so, there is no need to stay here. Besides, the two sides are at war now. It is best for us to keep a low profile. It is unwise to discuss Taoism with the Han people in public, as the general did today. If someone finds out the origin, there may be hidden dangers.”

"You think I'm willing to do that?" Liu Zhai shook his head, "Fame is always obtained immediately, now that the two sides are about to fight, how can I not be in a hurry? But if I go back at this time, what will happen to those people who promised me before?" Go figure it out?"

Speaking of this, he sneered: "Han'er is so treacherous. I've done a lot of things for you during this journey. If I leave here, they will definitely not admit it, so I have to wait here. Once they finish Promise, the crisis in the country can be solved in an instant!"

Xiao Gan heard something and asked cautiously: "What do you mean?"

"Wait!" Liu Zhai's tone was extremely firm, "We must wait until the Haner Dynasty is over, and the Northern Expedition will disappear by itself!" As he was talking, he suddenly changed the subject, "It's not just about waiting for this matter. Hearing Han'er's discussion this time, he also invited the Huns, most likely thinking about defeating others without fighting, but they don't know that there is an incomparable person in our country. You can bring shame on yourself!"

"Huh?" Xiao Gan understood as soon as he heard this, "Could it be that the little prince is also invited?"

Liu Zhai smiled and said nothing at first, but then changed the topic: "By the way, do you think I can recruit Chen Zhi?"

"Recruiting Chen Zhi?" Xiao Gan was stunned. He knew that his master had suffered a loss today at the hands of Chen Zhi. Why did he say such a thing now?
"With all due respect," Xiao Gan thought for a while and said truthfully, "All Chinese in China regard us as barbarians and call us rebellious officials and traitors. It is impossible to recruit them!"

As he spoke, he added: "Actually, with your intelligence, General, you don't need to care about what happened before..."

Liu Zhai interrupted him directly: "You think I am angry with him, so I want to recruit him to humiliate him?"

Xiao Gan stopped talking immediately, but this silence undoubtedly acquiesced to Liu Zhai's guess.

Liu Zhai immediately shook his head and said: "You are wrong. If I don't even have this kind of mind, how can I accomplish anything?"

Xiao Gan said: "Since Chen Zhi came from Pengcheng, there was an opportunity to recruit him before."

"You don't need to say more, I underestimated him earlier, otherwise I would have visited Chen Zhi during Wang Mi's incident," Liu Zhai said, shaking his head again, "That's not right, I'm on the way Hearing that Wang Mi was scolded to death by him, I thought it was an exaggeration, just like what happened to Jiang Yi in front of me, but after experiencing it personally today, I realized that it is true, but without what happened today, how could I think highly of him?"

Seeing that his master was in a dilemma, Xiao Gan couldn't help but remind him: "General, no matter what, if you act in such a high-profile manner today, you must try to avoid it next time. Even if King Langya has something to say, the people in this city will not report it to the official." , but we must prevent accidents.”

Liu Zhai pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since we can't recruit Chen Zhi for the time being, why not leave Kaiyang first and go to Linyi to wait for the good show to happen!"

………………

"Brother Chen, let me offer you another drink!" In the tavern, in the elegantly decorated room, Gongsun Qi poured a glass of wine and raised his glass to toast.

Chen Zhi responded simply.

"Brother Chen, the Huns are arrogant and flamboyant with their fallacies and heresies. But in an instant, we are unable to deal with them. If I hadn't stepped forward, it would have been difficult to tell what happened today."

Putting down the wine glass, Gongsun Qi began to compliment him, and while talking, he mentioned the young master.

"Firstly, there was a young master who said that he dismissed Hu, and brother Chen, you used history to defeat the Xiongnu. Before the literary meeting started, there were many anecdotes. I think that brother Chen will soon have the power and influence of young master Yan."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone else present changed.

Sitting in this elegant pavilion were Zhou Yan, Lu Jing, and Gongsun Qi's friends. Including Chen Zhi and Liu Gang, there were a total of ten people sitting around the table.

Suddenly, the voice from the room next to him came.

Outside the Accord, the atmosphere is lively.

The lobby was occupied by returning ordinary literati and ordinary people, discussing the demeanor of Yiyan Young Master. They followed each other all the way and walked a long distance. When they saw that Young Master entered the Governor's Mansion, the onlookers dispersed. So, there are good people waiting outside.

The aristocratic family members and celebrities who were in the lobby before returned to the Accord upstairs, but they were still talking about what Chen Zhi had said before about retreating from the Huns.

In normal times, this matter would have become news, enough to spread in the city, not to mention that it coincided with cultural gatherings in various places in Qingzhou, and with the matter of Mr. Yan in front of him, it was difficult not to make people pay attention to it.

The Accord's sound insulation is average, so the topics discussed next door will inevitably reach everyone's ears.

What they were talking about was actually Chen Zhi and Mr. Yiyan. After all, the two came almost at the same time. One passed by and the other arrived. One was famous before, and the other was performing a good show of withdrawing people with words in front of everyone. .

Invisibly, there was a contrast, making Zhou Yan's expression even more unnatural.

"Brother Gongsun is right. If Brother Chen's discussion can be compiled and written into an article, it will be no less than "The Master's Theory"!" After listening, a friend of Gongsun Qi praised him, and everyone present Many teachers who have read Chen Zhi said this article, and it is especially appropriate to say it at this time.

Another friend of Gongsun said: "Just looking at today's situation, if it is spread a little bit, I'm afraid I won't be far behind even if I am compared with Mr. Yiyan."

"Everyone," Zhou Yan finally said, "I admire Brother Chen's ability, but I hope you don't deliberately flatter me. I'm just talking to everyone in Xianbei, and I won't say much about the origins of the Huns. Just by his behavior, it can be seen that he is an arrogant person. Such a person is unlikely to achieve anything. If he uses this to build momentum, it will be enough to spread the name of Brother Chen, but the opponent who was refuted cannot take it. When people hear it on the stage, wouldn't they think that Brother Chen is deliberately exaggerating?"

The starting point of these words is to maintain the authority of Mr. Yiyan, but purely from the meaning of the words, it actually makes sense. However, Liu Gang felt a little unhappy when he heard it. From what he heard, Zhou Yan felt that Chen Not as good as that young master.

However, Liu Gang knew very well that he had no way to refute, because Chen Zhi and Jiang Yi had never really discussed each other, and their superiority could only be judged by reputation. At least for now, Chen Zhi's reputation was unforgettable to Jiang Yi, and Zhou Yan was also considered He is his friend, so it is not good to cause trouble in front of Gongsun Qi.

"What you said makes sense." Unexpectedly, Gongsun Qi echoed, surprising everyone, but then he laughed and said, "But how can you know that the person just now is not worth mentioning? Want me Let’s see, that person might be an important figure in the Huns, otherwise how could he have such a big tone?”

"Oh? The Xiongnu can't grow, do you think they can still grow bigger?" Zhou Yan glanced at Gongsun Qi, with disdain on his face, "Wuxiang Hou's army is heading north, and good news will come soon. Sooner or later, the Huns will If you want to become a rootless tree, what difference does it make if you are a barbarian noble or not?"

Seeing that the tone of the two people was not friendly, Liu Gang quickly opened his mouth to ease, talked about some trivial matters, and imagined the scene of the literary meeting, finally managed to control the situation, no conflict broke out again, managed to overcome the difficulties, and maintained the peace of the banquet.

After they were full of wine and food, everyone said goodbye and agreed to go sightseeing in Kaiyang County and appreciate it.

It just happened that the Wang Jiawen meeting will be held at [-]:[-], Chen Zhi and others agreed to the appointment, and in the next few days, they saw all kinds of wonderful things in this city and blended into the bustle of the city, but they did not see that Liu Di again.

Until ten days later, a piece of news suddenly came, which silenced the hustle and bustle of Kaiyang County——

The Marquis of Wuxiang was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition and was recalled to the court!
　Post first and then change, the list will be compiled in the next chapter!
