Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 612 Old clothes are fragrant, keep him Xun Ling, new songs are wrong, Gu Zhou Lang
Not long after Wei Yan and others conquered Wu County, good news came from Danyang on the other side. The newly attached Bingzhou Zhang Liao attacked Shicheng with a strategy of attacking the west.

Even in the eyes of the world, after the acquisition of Lujiang and Jiujiang, it is only a matter of time before the remaining counties and counties of Yangzhou will return to the royal government, but the trend of this restoration is so fierce, and such a trend is still eye-catching. The Sun family in Wujun has been operating for many years. In the face of the torrent of the Xuzhou army, all resistance was swept away like insignificant stones. They could no longer stop and could only break up and flee.

Before I knew it, it was already February of the second year of Jian'an.

"Zhou is doing well."

When entering the inner hall of the palace, Guan Guan at the gate smiled and bowed to Zhou Yu. Being an official is not considered a high-ranking official, let alone the chances of entering the palace are very slim for other people, even this gatekeeper would not Zhou Yu was so polite, but Zhou Yu was different. After all, everyone knew that Wang Zheng valued him very much.

The state shepherd is like this, how dare others not respect Zhou Yu?

Zhou Yu also nodded politely, and cupped his hands to the officer, "Please report to the state shepherd, and tell Zhou Yu to see you."

"The state pastor told me that if Zhou is engaged, there is no need to report, just go in." The Si Yan Guan smiled and said: "Zhou is engaged."

"Thank you so much."

Zhou Yu walked towards the study on the veranda, and when he came to the courtyard, although the door of the study was open, he dared not walk in casually, so he said loudly, "Wang Zhoumu, Zhou Yu is asking to see you."

"It's Gongjin?" Wang Zheng's voice came from inside, "Please come in."

"Yes."

Zhou Yu strode forward and looked up. Wang Zheng changed into normal clothes today and was sitting in front of the desk reading a scroll of silk books. Although it was daytime, the study room in the palace was too big, so it was a bit dark, so there were a few candlesticks on the desk.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming in, Wang Zheng smiled slightly, and said softly, "Sit down as you please, we are almost a family, and we don't need to be so formal when we get along in private."

When Zhou Yu returned to Shouchun a few days ago, Wang Zheng once again asked Zhang Zhao, the governor, to come forward as a matchmaker to talk about Zhou Yu's marriage next week. However, after thinking about it, Zhou Yu agreed, and the wedding was scheduled for next month.

Zhou Yu didn't answer immediately, but walked up to Wang Zheng and bowed first: "Zhou Mu, please look at this." He took out a piece of parchment from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to him.

"what is this?"

Wang Zheng was startled, maybe he didn't expect Zhou Yu to write the letter, so he took it and looked at it for a while, then couldn't help raising his sword eyebrows, and asked sideways, "Gongjin, do you really think so?"

"To Zhou Mu, every sentence in the book is from the bottom of my heart."

This is a letter of resignation.

Of course, the resignation is not the position in which he is engaged.

The marriage with Xiao Qiao became the straw that overwhelmed Zhou Yu's last insistence. Since there was no way to refuse, Zhou Yu, who put aside his heart knot, was originally planning to get along with Wang Zhenghao and his ministers.

But he didn't expect Wang Zheng to be overjoyed as soon as his family expressed their submission, and even at the previous celebration banquet, he personally promised to reward him for his merits, and made Zhou Yu General Long Xiang, who would supervise all affairs in Lujiang.

As soon as this appointment was made, even with the prestige of Wang Zheng, it caused an uproar in the audience.

You must know that Zhou Yu's current official position is to engage in it, also known as Biejia. As the assistant official of the state shepherd and governor, although this official position has great power and important position, it is still a secretary type after all. The product is similar to the county magistrate.

And General Long Xiang is the fourth-rank senior official who is second only to Zhen Anping. Not only did he jump three times in a row, but the key is to have the suffix of Dudu Lujiang.

Since it is all affairs, not military affairs, it is equivalent to granting Zhou Yu not only the right to take charge of all the troops stationed in the county, but also to take charge of the county's civil affairs, which is very powerful.

Among today's army, only Wu Sheng and Xu Fang, who were the first to receive this kind of treatment, had received it from the acquaintances of Long Zhichen and the chief.

And although there is no news outside, the court, Chinese and military have already known that Wang Zheng's next foreign military use is likely to target Jingzhou.

If troops are used against Jingzhou, Lujiang River will become one of the front lines to launch an offensive, and all the military and political power in such an important place will be entrusted to Zhou Yu, a newcomer. Even if he knew Zhou Yu was a talent, Wang Zheng has always favored him. But it was beyond everyone's expectations, including Zhou Yu himself.

The weight of this letter is too great, and the promotion is too high.
Even Zhou Yu, who is confident that he will stand on the peak of this troubled world sooner or later, at the head of the tide, feels heavy on his shoulders for a while.

"yes?"

Wang Zheng glanced at Zhou Yu's resignation letter again, "The minister's virtue is poor and his talents are few, he is incompetent, and he dare not make a big use of it. I also hope that Zhou Yu will choose another good talent."

After reading this, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "I don't know how many people have heard the word "virtuous and talented". What about new words?"

There was some sarcasm in his words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but blushed, and didn't dare to argue, but continued to hand in the hand: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and I hope Zhou Mu will approve it."

"No."

Wang Zheng still had a smile on his face, and he sent the parchment to the oil lamp. The parchment was very thin, and it burned instantly, giving off a burnt smell.

Zhou Yu was taken aback, and said, "Zhou Mu."

"When you interceded on behalf of the Sun family that day, I will ask you the reason. You said that people will not stand without trust. If the general refuses, you will lose faith in others. I will not say anything more. Not only did I let Sun Ce go His old mother and younger sister don’t even care about that bold and arrogant Sun Yi, do they?”

Sun Yi is the third younger brother of Sun Ce, although he is young, he is very brave. When he met Wang Zheng that day, he dared to stare angrily and scold him. If it were someone else who was so rude, he would have died countless times. up.

Zhou Yu naturally knew who Wang Zheng was because of and didn't care about it. He was silent for a moment and nodded.

"It is said that Sun Yi and his brother are very similar, but this is not the case in this general's opinion. Although Sun Ce is brave, he is not a brave man. It’s nothing more than a reckless person, no matter how much this kind of guy hates and gnashes his teeth, he can’t pose any threat, so let him go, but there is one thing you don’t know.”

Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "When I first entered Xuzhou, I made a promise in order to attract the Langya Wang family. In the future, I will help him avenge him and wipe out the Yi family from the Sun family of Wujun!"

what?
Zhou Yu looked up in surprise when he heard the words, the Langya Wang family wants to destroy the entire Sun family?If so, wouldn't that mean?

But Wang Zheng sighed, and continued: "I didn't want to say too much about this kind of thing, Gong Jin, since you don't want to take on the heavy responsibility, then I have to make it clear."

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng took a deep look at Zhou Yu, and said word by word: "You don't want to break your promise, is this the general? But those who make big things don't care about small things, Xiao He was willing to run hundreds of miles at night to chase Han Xin In exchange for cost generals, not to mention hundreds of miles, but thousands of miles, ten thousand miles, if you can win Gongjin's heart and achieve great things, what's the problem?"

"Since that's the case, it's not a big deal to sell this old face and bear the stigma of "untrustworthy"."

"However, I will pay such a price. What I want is Zhou Gongjin who can destroy the country and destroy the captives, not Zhou Gongjin who manages civil servants!"

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the words, and was speechless for a while.

Indeed, although he said that he was "poor in virtue and incompetent in mediocrity", he didn't really think so in his heart.

There are two kinds of proud people, one is like Mi Heng and Guan Yu, who puts pride on his face and shows it to others with his nostrils raised up, and the other is like Zhou Yu and Guo Jia, who hides it silently in his heart, On the outside, there is a layer of "modest and polite" or "dissolute" skin.

But the pride of the latter is sometimes not only not inferior to the former, but even more so.

The same is true for Zhou Yu. He has little ambition, and is more confident that no matter his intelligence or martial arts, he will never be inferior to any talented person in the world. Not to mention the scarcity of talents on Wang Zheng's side, even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's counselors are like rain, and fierce generals are like clouds. Few people can catch his eyes.

Such a Zhou Yu, how could he feel that his talent is not enough to be a prefect, and his martial arts is not enough to be a fourth-rank general?
But it is precisely because of this inner self-confidence and inner pride that Zhou Yu feels that his current contribution to the Xuzhou Army should not be rewarded and reused at this level.

But Zhou Yu couldn't help but be moved by Wang Zheng's heart-to-heart confession. He was speechless for a while, and some very absurd thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he was under Sun Ce's account, would he be promoted in such an exceptional way under such circumstances?
"Gong Jin, when I first met Mr. Zhou Shang, I once said a word."

Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and repeated what he said that day: "There are so many talented people in the world. They are as straight as the crucian carp crossing the river, and even as rare as Yu, but they are unparalleled in the world. If you win the heart of Gong Jin, you should treat him as a scholar of the state." !"

He said loudly and authentically: "You are a natural born general. When Feng Xiao told you about your strategy against Shanyue, the general was amazed and ashamed, so he did not comment on the strategy of war, and he dared not comment. However, We’ve known each other so far, but I found out that you have a problem.”

Zhou Yu raised his head in astonishment, but Wang Zheng laughed at himself and said, "Your temper is too bad, and I don't know if you are so shy in front of others. It's really unmanly!"

"Employees are not suspicious, and doubts are unnecessary. Since I have entrusted you with this important task, I have trusted you, but you said that your own ability is not enough. Hey, it means that this general has blind eyes and misjudged the person?"

He paused, and then said, "This appointment was made at a banquet that day, and many civil and military officials would have said it in person. If it is withdrawn now, it will be changed every day. Have you ever thought about it?"

This.
Zhou Yu became more and more speechless. He really hadn't thought about this before, so he stood silently in front of Wang Zheng without moving. The sword on Zhou Yu's waist.

His skill was already superior to Zhou Yu's, and his movements were so fast that Zhou Yu was unprepared, and couldn't help being taken aback. Wang Zheng raised the sword in front of his eyes and murmured, "Is this the Shuangfeng sword?"

"I heard that Sun Ce invited a famous craftsman to forge two swords in seven days and seven nights, one Chi Feng and the other Shuang Feng. Chi Feng wore it himself, and Shuang Feng gave it to you, which means that brothers will join hands and hold the sword together. Across the battlefield, isn't it?"

"But there is this."

Zhou Yu once again showed a shocked expression. How did Wang Zheng know such things?
Wang Zheng smiled slightly. This matter was not recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He could know that it was when they fought side by side in Hefei that Zhou Yu's saber was also too long.

"Sun Ce is also a hero. If it wasn't for this general, he might be able to work together with Gong Jin to create some achievements."

Wang Zheng showed a reminiscence look on his face, and murmured: "Gong Jin knows that I actually respect Brother Bo Fu very much. Originally, the two of us could be friends, but we are in troubled times, and there are many lords competing for the throne. Although the Southland is big, it is also easy to accept." Can't beat the ambition of two people!"

"However, since even a hero like Brother Bofu can be defeated, no matter who the opponent is in the future, I will be full of confidence!"

Wang Zheng held Zhuo Li behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Why should a man have great ambitions and achieve immortal achievements? To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of wealth in front of him and glory in death. Has Gong Jin ever thought about it, if this general will stand up in the future? At the peak, Brother Bofu will also gain a lot?"

The opponent's height determines your height, and the reverse is also true. This statement is very novel, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but think about it.

Yes, if Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, failed to unify the world and build our Han dynasty for 400 years, how could Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, be so famous?
"Brother Bofu's will will be inherited by this general."

Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and said in an indescribably earnest tone, "Gongjin, there is still a long way to go, if you want to ride with me, then stop saying those meaningless words!"

Zhou Yu trembled all over: "Zhou Zhou Mu?"

"Oh, by the way, don't call me that anymore. If you still don't want to call me Lord, you can call me Yu Kou, or General?"

Wang Zheng stretched out his hand to Zhou Yu and made a fist.

Zhou Yu stared blankly, Wang Zheng's hands were very thick, strange to say, but they were well-maintained, fair and smooth, not like other generals, with calluses from many years of martial arts training.

But Zhou Yu knew that this was probably the most powerful fist in the world
Whether it is the authority it holds, or the power contained in the flesh itself!
Thinking of Wang Zheng's identity, thinking of Wang Zheng's inhuman bravery, even Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little in awe. Looking at his fist, he murmured: "General, why do you trust me so much? I value you so much?"

"Because you are Zhou Yu!"

Wang Zheng laughed, and lightly patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "The old clothes are fragrant, keep him Xun Ling, the new song is wrong, Gu Zhou Lang, the Yangtze River north and south, two handsome men, two national scholars, Xun Jun has been captured by Cao Aman, Zhou Lang would never want to miss it!"

　The most annoying thing about Chinese New Year is drinking
　　I woke up at 9:0 p.m. after drinking a lot of wine. I hurriedly coded and finally released it before [-]:[-].
　　Hey, the relatives and friends have not finished their visits yet, and tomorrow I will go to another place to pay New Year's greetings. I guess I don't have time to code during the day.
