Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 561 The mighty weapon of Xuanguo, the talent of hunting barbarians and captives

By this time, Mi Heng naturally understood the good intentions of Wang Zheng's actions today.

But it's okay to see.

Now Mi Heng's heart is filled with the emotion of "scholars die for their confidants", the bit of jealousy and dissatisfaction towards Guo Jia has long since disappeared, and he has let Wang Zheng lead him away.

When the two came to Guo Jia's banquet, Wang Zheng didn't talk too much nonsense, he just asked the maid to fill up the wine glass, first drank two glasses with Guo Jia, and then said with a smile: "Feng Xiao has repeatedly offered amazing tricks in the three battles this year, and he has made great contributions to me in Xuzhou. No need to say more.”

"Since ancient times, those who win people will prosper, and those who lose people will perish. You and Zhengping will be regarded as right-hand men, both of which are indispensable. I only hope that the three of us, the monarch and the minister, will join hands and work together to achieve the cause of kingship and achieve the eternal name. "

Guo Jia smiled when he heard the words, but didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at Mi Heng lightly.

He asked himself that he had enough respect for Mi Heng, and today he even took the lead to help Wang Zheng to smooth things over for him. Wang Zheng hoped that the two of them could work together. In fact, in Guo Jia's view, everyone is in the same palace as ministers. If we can be harmonious but different, respect each other as guests It's an ideal situation.

This
The main thing is not to see him Guo Jia, but whether Mi Heng can get acquainted.

Naturally, Mi Heng also knew the meaning of Guo Jia's glance. When the matter has progressed to this extent, it is for Wang Zheng's face, and it is his turn to make a statement first. People of the country, Heng Duo was disrespectful before, and he still looked forward to Wang Han, so in the future, he should uphold the ambition of loyalty and observe the festival of modesty and retreat."

"Hold your respect and honor your filial piety, please drink up to the full."

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded with a smile and said: "Zhengping is a virtuous and elegant scholar, and I have long had a heart to talk and drink together."

"Please."

Seeing this, Wang Zheng on the side nodded with satisfaction, and immediately moved to Xu Fang on the other side.

But Wang Zheng didn't stop when he came to his table, he just said with a smile: "Yao Shi, you and I have never known each other. We are brother and sister. It seems strange whether we toast or not. You can stay in the palace later. There will be another family banquet, let's have a good drink."

Xu Fang could not refuse, and nodded hurriedly.

Not only did he agree to Wang Zheng's attitude, he was also very happy.

You must know that after receiving a letter from Wu Sheng before, he learned that Wang Zheng attached great importance to the "Chen Fu case", and he was furious. Shouchun took the initiative to plead guilty.

Now that Wang Zheng was able to say these words, it meant that he still regarded him as his family member. Xu Fang's uneasiness disappeared immediately.

Sitting here is Gu Jian.

In terms of military rank, Gu Jian is actually not high, but he is the direct descendant of Zhang Rao, the former commander of Huangjinqu. Most of the current middle and high-level generals of the Tianjun are from Qingzhou Huangjin. Rao's old ministry, and even Wang Zheng himself.

There is a reason for this, and Gu Jian is also a hero of the system, so the seat arranged this time is very high, it can be said that it is only second to Xu Fang, and even higher than Huang Zhong.

Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to toast him, instead he looked up and down the young man with admiration for a long time, and then the tiger's eyes suddenly turned red: "At the beginning Zhang Shuai once said to this general: "The ancient sword is young and promising, and it can be used to great effect." This general also had high hopes, but I didn't expect you to have today's achievements."

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng was overwhelmed with embarrassment, and said with emotion: "With only a few thousand athletes, I was able to drive two thousand miles south from Mount Tai to Yuzhou, first take Yilu, then break the enemy's siege, and then help Xu Fang and Wu Sheng break through the Ping Yu, just like the old hussar generals went deep into Mobei to find and annihilate the Xiongnu, that's all. Apart from borrowing Ban Gu's "Long Drive Six Moves, Electric Shock and Thunder Shock", I really can't think of other suitable words to describe it."

"I feel happy to have such a great talent, but I feel sad when I think about Zhang Shuai's enlightenment."

Zhang Rao had indeed boasted about the ancient sword in front of him before, but that would be because it was an "unknown pawn", and Wang Zheng never really paid attention to it, let alone had high hopes.

It's just that after the system is stamped, everything is naturally different.

Now that he knew Gu Jian's astonishing potential, Wang Zheng naturally wanted to win over him deliberately, not only to put on a show, but even to take the initiative to mention the dead Zhang Rao.

And it worked.

From the first moment he heard Zhang Rao's name, Gu Jian's expression became solemn.

The more I listened to it, the more I was moved to tears, and my heart was filled with gratitude to Wang Zheng. Even if there is no system at this time, it is probably willing to let him die for Wang Zheng.

Sensation should not be overdone, seeing that the fire is almost ready, Wang Zheng patted Gu Jian's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Don't talk about it, it's all in the wine, and drink this cup to the brim!"

"Yes!"

Gu Jian nodded heavily, raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp. Seeing that Wang Zheng turned to go to the next seat, Gu Jian hesitated for a while, and suddenly called out in a low voice: "General."

"Ok?"

Wang Zheng stopped and turned his head to look.

"The final general rushed to Runan this time. I heard that Liu Bei is now in the territory of Chen State."

Speaking of this, Gu Jian shot a deep hatred in his eyes: "The long-bearded thief Guan Yu must be in Chen Guo at this time, and now Pei Guo is in our hands, when will the general plan?"

He was cut off by Wang Zheng before he finished speaking. He naturally guessed what Gu Jian wanted to say next, but Wang Zheng's plan was not to enter Yuzhou for the time being, so he couldn't let him finish his sentence, so he just said seriously: "Don't worry, Zhang Shuai I will keep the hatred in my heart, I dare not forget it for a moment, if I attack the Chen country in the future, I will teach you to be the vanguard!"

As for the coming day, he refused to say clearly.

But speaking of this, Gu Jian was also very satisfied, and immediately nodded slightly, watching Wang Zheng leave.

Wang Zheng took the initiative to toast his ministers with the respect of the lord. Naturally, he can be called a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness, and he is very talented.

But naturally not too many courtiers could receive this courtesy.

Because if there are too many, it is not rare, and if everyone has it, it is naturally worthless.

Next, most of the other ministers were only comforted by gentle words, and Huang Zhong, Lu Ji and other decisive figures were treated by the toast, but they all had a cup to the end. The special encounter of toasting two glasses.

Turning around, Wang Zheng came to the seat of the Bingzhou envoy who was escorting Lu Qiling. He nodded slightly to the others, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Liao. But I feel that it has been several spring and autumn, seeing General Zhang still looks good, it is really gratifying and congratulatory."

While speaking, he took the jug from the handmaid and filled the wine glass himself, "Please drink three full cups!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's expression was taken aback, and the expressions of several Bingzhou generals behind him also changed at the same time.

Wang Zheng, what does this mean?

Speaking of a toast, as the envoy of this marriage, Zhang Liao indeed deserves the courteous treatment of the king, but a cup is the most appropriate.

What's more, they just watched with cold eyes, and they have seen clearly for a long time that after Wang Zheng's round, he only toasted the civil servants and generals under his command. The only exception was Guo Jia, who was more recognized by the generals. It's just two cups.

How could Zhang Liao He De, or what did he do, to be treated so courteously by Wang Zheng?
Zhang Liao himself was greatly surprised, and took the initiative to reject it: "I was just ordered by the lord to escort the young lady to meet the state shepherd. Although I am an envoy, I dare not be so polite as the state shepherd. I can only thank Zhou Mu's kindness, as for the toast, cough, let's just skip it."

"That's a bad word."

Wang Zheng stared at Zhang Liao, and said solemnly: "These three cups of wine are meant to be respected to General Zhang's beauty in his belly and strategy in his chest. , Three toasts are not enough to express the general's respect."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's expression became more and more embarrassed.

Why?

Because of Wang Zheng's praise, not to mention him at this time, even Wen Hou Lu Bu was a little reluctant.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there are probably only a few people like Wang Jian, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, and Huo Qubing who can be regarded as "a powerful weapon for proclaiming the country and a talent for hunting barbarians and captives".

But today's Zhang Liao, whether it is fame or achievements, is far from this evaluation.

But having said that, to be given such a high degree of positive evaluation by a hero like Wang Zheng, even knowing that it might be just a polite remark, Zhang Liao still felt a little happy and proud in his heart.

Of course, on the surface, you still need to be humble, "I ask myself that I can't afford such absurd praise as state shepherd, but I don't dare to refuse the gift from the venerable, so how about I just have a drink?" Down the glass.

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "This cup should be respected to the general's talent, then the second cup must be filled to the brim." Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to refuse, Wang Zheng said first: "Don't refuse, the general, this cup is just for you. It's famous."

Zhang Liao asked in surprise, "What does Zhou Mu mean by this?"

"The general is from Bingzhou?"

"Exactly."

"Bingzhou men have been heroes for generations, defending our big man against the Tartars and guarding the border. This second cup is not only for General Zhang, but also Wen Hou and these heroes of Bingzhou. You are all heroes of our Han people!"

As soon as the big hat was buttoned down, Zhang Liao didn't dare, but the eyes he looked at Wang Zheng became a little closer.

Bingzhou and Liangzhou, which are located on the border, have always been quite discriminated against by the people of the Central Plains, or to be precise, they are the aristocratic families who have the right to speak in the Central Plains.

However, in the turbulent years of the end of the Han Dynasty, swords prevailed over everything. Although there was much less discrimination on the surface, the actual exclusion has always existed. Princes like Wang Zheng who can positively affirm the people of Bingzhou are regarded as Extremely rare.

This is mainly the reason for the high status.

If Wang Zheng made such a statement a year ago, Zhang Liao might not be so emotional.

You are a yellow scarf thief, the lowest end of the contempt chain at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is normal for you not to discriminate against us Bingzhou men!

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, although he felt that Wang Zheng's actions today were a bit abrupt, but he still picked up the wine and said, "I dare not refuse Zhou Mu's kindness and affection." He drank it down again.

"Boy from Bingzhou, the result is refreshing!"

Wang Zheng laughed, took the third glass of wine with his own hands, and handed it to Zhang Liao again.

"This"

The mutual respect between the two had already attracted the attention of many people on the field. Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Liao felt more and more inappropriate, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Zhou Mu, what is the third cup of wine? And why?"

Wang Zheng's eyes flashed with a captivating light, he just looked at Zhang Liao for a while, then suddenly raised his sword eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This is the third glass of wine, actually there is nothing to say."

"It's just that I want to respect brother Wenyuan, maybe it's as I wish?"

What is "Brother Wenyuan who wants to respect Wenyuan purely for his own sake"?
Almost immediately Zhang Liao realized that Wang Zheng wanted to recruit him!

To be honest, the olive branch thrown by the other party was really tempting. Even if it came so abruptly, Zhang Liao had to admit for a while that he was a little moved.

After all, I have been following Lv Bu for a long time. For example, Song Xian and Wei Xu, who are closer to Lv Bu, can see that the other party is not going to make a big deal. Zhang Liao, who joined halfway, and the smarter Zhang Liao, can't see it? ?

The key is that the current Lu Bu is not only hopeless, but he is almost in danger. Otherwise, how can someone who is as proud and arrogant as a gentle man continue to fulfill his marriage contract with his nose under the almost humiliating behavior of the king's government?
Compared with Lu Bu, who is "sunset and dusk", today's Wangzheng is really "like the sun and square" in the true sense!
Since he started his army, he has not only had few defeats, but also in just two or three years, he has gone from being poor to being rich in nine counties. Now he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command and a wealth of talents. In terms of power alone, it is enough. Along with Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and other powerful princes, he is at most inferior to Yuan Shao.

Although he did not personally participate, Zhang Liao also learned about Wang Zheng's performance in several battles from the military report sent back by sentry cavalry. Yong also left a deep impression on Zhang Liao.

More importantly, during the time in Wu County, Zhang Liao clearly understood that Wang Zheng was not just like Lu Bu, who only had martial arts and bravery. Zhang Liao was also quite moved by his eclecticism in employing people and his broad-mindedness in recognizing and emphasizing talents.

It was precisely because of his deep understanding of the royal government that Zhang Liao believed that Lu Bu's marriage with him was a wrong step. Although he had no firm objection, he always had tactful suggestions, trying to make Lu Bu give up this idea.

It's a pity that Lu Bu has no choice now.

In Zhang Liao's view, once Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Legion joined Wang Zheng's command, it was only a matter of time before they were completely annexed.
In other words, even if Wang Zheng didn't speak out to solicit him today, Zhang Liao would call the young man in front of him "Master" sooner or later.

So why did Wang Zheng go so far?

Under the candlelight, the shadows and lights on Zhang Liao's face changed and intertwined. He took a deep look at Wang Zheng in front of him.

At this time, Fang Yan smiled at Yan Yan, his eyes were full of surging confidence, it seemed that no matter how Zhang Liao responded, everything was under control.

Zhang Liao's mind suddenly flashed, and he figured it out.

What Wang Zheng wanted to recruit was Zhang Liao
But it wasn't Zhang Liao under Lu Bu's command!
