When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 701 Zhou Yu: Just an average person

Standing on the deck and enjoying the sea breeze, Meng Da was still a little dazed. Before he met Kou Feng, he had been prepared to tolerate Kou Feng. When he first met Kou Feng, facing Kou Feng's kindness, he spent a lot of effort to convince himself that Kou Sima was just being polite and should not be taken seriously.

What Meng Da didn't expect was that Kou Feng still looked kind until he boarded the steamer.

Kou Feng first introduced the soldiers on the ship to him, and then patiently introduced the various aspects of the steamship. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "I will rely on you a lot in the future, Brother Meng."

No, are we very familiar with each other? How come we are like old friends?
Looking at the boundless sea, Meng Da felt very complicated.

"Brother Meng, the boat is about to start, be careful."

As Kou Feng shouted, the boiler room trembled like thunder, the hot water from the drainpipe stirred up mist, the seabirds dozing on the mast flapped their wings in fear and took off, the pilot had already climbed up to the observation tower with binoculars and Si Nan. The chimney spewed out thick white smoke, and water droplets condensed from steam flowed down the deck. Tens of thousands of water were plowed by the huge hull that looked like a white whale, and the giant beast was on the move.

Thanks to Kou Feng's reminder, Meng Da was well prepared and did not fall to the ground.

Seeing Kou Feng approaching, Meng Da could no longer suppress his doubts. He asked Kou Feng indirectly why he respected him so much.

Kou Feng smiled and said frankly: "Brother Meng, let me tell you a story."

"Stories? I'm all ears."

"There is a royal relative who is not only the uncle of the emperor, but also a contemporary hero, and his reputation is very high. When the uncle passed through Chu, he met a young man by chance. The uncle liked the young man very much and adopted him as his son."

"The young man lived up to the expectations of his uncle and often led troops to fight and quell rebellions. The uncle valued him more and more."

"It's just that things don't always go as planned. Over time, the young man became complacent and felt that he was worthy of the status of the emperor's uncle's adopted son, so he became more and more arrogant in dealing with problems."

"When the young man and a general from the imperial court were suppressing a rebellion and seizing a city, the young man looked down on the general and even took away the general's guard of honor. After they captured the city, the conflict between the two became more and more serious, and eventually the recaptured city fell into the hands of the rebels again."

"So I understand the importance of building good relationships among my comrades."

"I know that Brother Meng is a talented person. I don't mind what happened in his past. I just hope that I can get along well with Brother Meng in the future. If you and I work together, we will surely be able to show our talents!"

To be fair, Kou Feng's storytelling skills are not very good, even a bit bad, and are not as interesting as those told by novelists in teahouses.

But Meng Da heard something in Kou Feng's voice that the novelist did not have - sincerity.

Even Meng Da couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't need to think too much. Kou Feng must know what happened to him. He cheated in the imperial examination and exposed his friends. Even if he was framed, other people wouldn't know!
Cheating in the imperial examination is immoral, and exposing a good friend is heartless.

Who would want to have close friendship with a person who is immoral and heartless?

During these days, whenever the officials traveling with him looked at him, their faces were full of vigilance.

At present, the only person who spoke the truth to him was Kou Feng, so how could he not be moved?

Meng Da did not hesitate and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Kou Feng clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart: Lord, this time I will definitely follow your instructions and keep an eye on Meng Da!

Meng Da was a little puzzled. What was Kou Sima looking at?

He followed Kou Feng's gaze and saw nothing but the sea.

Weird.

Kou Feng retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, when we get to Yizhou, I will introduce a great talent to you."

"Great talent? Which great talent?"

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin."

"Zhou Gongjin?"

The steamship carrying a full ship of cargo successfully arrived in Yizhou. After handing over all the cargo to the Yizhou county officials, Kou Feng brought Meng Da to visit Zhou Yu.

Meng Da was wondering in his heart, who is this Zhou Yu?

When Meng Da met Zhou Yu, he was instantly impressed by Zhou Yu's demeanor, handsome appearance, and extraordinary temperament. He didn't believe that he was not a great talent!
"Ziming, do you understand this?"

"understand."

At this time, Zhou Yu was discussing the art of war with a warrior named "Ziming". This art of war was too profound for Meng Da, who liked to study art of war when he had nothing to do, and he couldn't understand it for a while. Unexpectedly, this man named "Ziming" understood it?

Why doesn't he believe it?

"Okay, Ziming, let's review it."

Zhou Yu disrupted the sand table, and Ziming easily reproduced the situation just now, which made Meng Da look up to Ziming.

This guy is so powerful? !

The two finished their conversation, and Meng Da learned from Kou Feng that "Ziming" was Yizhou Commander Lü Meng, Lü Ziming.

Meng Da put away his contempt and thought to himself: It is indeed not easy to become a captain.

Zhou Yu looked at Meng Da, then turned to Kou Feng and asked, "Is this the grain officer assigned to Kou Sima by the court?"

"Yes, this gentleman's surname is Meng, his given name is Da, and his courtesy name is Zijing. He is from Pingling County, Fufeng Prefecture."

As soon as Kou Feng finished speaking, Meng Da raised his hand, clasped his fists and said to Zhou Yu, "Da, meet Captain Zhou!"

Zhou Yu looked at Meng Da and said, "I heard that Zi Jing is very talented. I want to ask Zi Jing a few questions."

"It's my honor!" Meng Da replied quickly.

Zhou Yu asked several questions in succession, including literature, civil affairs, strategy and military management.

At first Meng Da could answer them easily, but gradually the questions became more and more difficult, and Meng Da could not come up with a good answer no matter how hard he racked his brains.

If he hadn't just heard the conversation between Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, he would definitely think, is this guy playing a trick on me?

"Okay, I see."

Know? Know what?
Meng Da was confused.

Zhou Yu said calmly: "When I am free, you can come to my house to find me."

"what?"

And slow!

Meng Da suddenly realized something. He had already answered the question raised by Zhou Yu before, and Zhou Yu's answer impressed him.

Now that Zhou Yu said this, does it mean that Zhou Yu wants to train himself? !

Meng Da looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief, but Zhou Yu remained unmoved. He then looked at Kou Feng, but Kou Feng nodded.

This made Meng Da overjoyed and he thanked him repeatedly.

Zhou Yu waved his hand, "I'm a little tired today."

This means we are sending the guests away behind closed doors!
Kou Feng and Meng Da looked at each other, a hint of understanding emerging between their brows.

After sending away Kou Feng, Meng Da and Lu Meng, Sun Ce came to visit again.

"Hahaha, Gongjin, what about Meng Zijing?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

Zhou Yu nodded, then shook his head, "He is barely an average person. He is not as good as Ziming in terms of strategy, and not as good as Kou Feng in terms of military management and military strategy. However, he is worse than Ziming and Kou Feng in literature and governance."

"Gongjin, your requirements are too high." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said admiringly: "The King of Yan is really insightful. From our conversation just now, I can vaguely sense that Meng Zijing is arrogant and spoiled, which is completely different from Kou Feng's calmness. Meng Zijing is not suitable to be a governor. No wonder he was arranged as a grain officer. I really admire him."

"Hey, of course, Uncle Liu has always had a sharp eye." Sun Ce said.

At the court meeting on the second day after the arrest of Peng Ying, Zhuge Liang, at the instruction of Liu Xie, took out the 30-year plan for the Han Dynasty. When the plan was released, the ministers were shocked, their eyes widened. No, this was made by Zhuge Kongming? !
This is incredible, this is incredible! I’m afraid Zhuge Kongming will go down in history!
