Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365

At the sound of footsteps, Chen Gong glanced across the audience from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Mi Heng and Zhang Zhao, who talked eloquently just now, or Chen Yu, Wang Rong, who were quiet and reticent, and dozens of scholars and ministers, all of them stood respectfully and breathlessly at this moment, just now, they were so free and easy. I couldn't see it all, and suddenly became trembling, as if I didn't dare to make a sound,
Such a restrained attitude caused Chen Gong to look sideways, seeing that these people's attitude towards Wang Zheng was both respect and awe.

Of course, there is still one person in the field at this time who is not included in this list.

Naturally it was Xu Fang.

Although he also got up and showed the same respectful gesture, his appearance seemed to be the same as everyone else, but Chen Gong was keenly aware that this young man also had respect, but no reverence.

This made Chen Gong's heart skip a beat.

Xu Fang's "different" has two possibilities.

First, Wang Zheng puts more emphasis on martial arts than literature, so as a general, Xu Fang's attitude towards him is naturally different from that of other civil servants.

Second, Xu Fang's status is very unusual. What I'm talking about here is not the official title and authority in the face, but in Wang Zheng's heart.

These speculations are useless for the time being, Chen Gong secretly remembered, after seeing all kinds of people's attitudes, he retracted his gaze, cheered up, and looked at the stairs with a pair of eyes shining brightly.

In the name of Wang Zheng, he has been famous for a long time, but he has never met him. What kind of character is this mighty young man?

This is related to when Lu Bu's daughter will get married.
It is more related to the future of his Chen Gong
And this time the choice is very important!

Because after changing his master three times, he has no way out!

Thinking of this, under heavy pressure, Chen Gong couldn't help but feel uneasy, his gaze was full of curiosity, exploration, heavy heart, and hidden and unrevealed adrift.

The footsteps stopped suddenly.

When he finally saw Lushan's true face, Chen Gong was startled.

This is Wang Zheng?
Looking at the burly young man opposite him in surprise, he has thick hands and feet, broad shoulders, a small head with sharp face, square forehead and leopard eyes. Even with a smile on his face at this time, he still exudes a domineering and vicious aura. He is indeed extraordinary, Can
No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a tiger general, but it doesn't look like a gentleman.

When Chen Gong was muttering to himself, he saw the burly young man standing still at the top of the stairs, looking around the audience, his eyes resting on Chen Gong for a while, and then he shouted in a low voice:
"The general is here!"

Although Chen Gong didn't recognize him, others knew that it was Wu Sheng who came. After saying this, Wu Sheng took two steps forward, stood sideways, and bowed to meet him.

The next moment, another person walked lightly and appeared in front of everyone calmly and naturally.

Chen Gong was secretly surprised by the opponent's figure at first, it was really tall and majestic, especially that Wu Sheng was already a strong man, but after this person appeared, he suddenly seemed to be a section shorter.

Chen Gong took a closer look, and saw that this person was young, with an ordinary appearance, and there seemed to be nothing outstanding, except for a pair of deep and unpredictable eyes, focused and determined, with surging self-confidence in his composure.

This person must be Wang Zheng!

This time, Chen Gong no longer had any doubts, and he came to a conclusion in an instant, and the reaction of Xu Fang and others also proved this point.

"Meet the lord (state shepherd)"

"Exemption, gentlemen." Wang Zheng waved his hand to signal for everyone to sit down, and walked towards the main seat leisurely. As soon as Fang was seated, Xu Fangfang hurriedly introduced Chen Gong to get up. Hearing this, Wang Zheng nodded and looked at him. Chen Gong.

Seeing the other party's eyes were burning, and between looking around, there was a mighty power that looked down on all sentient beings, so that Chen Gong didn't dare to look directly, subconsciously bowed his head, and saluted:

"I met Wang Zhoumu."

"Your honored guest, please sit down." Wang Zheng smiled slightly, and bowed his hands to return the gift: "Mr. Gongtai's reputation is far and wide, and his reputation has been heard all over the world. Zheng has also admired him for a long time. When a guest comes from West, he should have personally swept the couch and walked backwards to welcome him. , but the end of the year is approaching, and I am entangled in trifles, so I have no time to spare, please don't blame Mr. Gongtai."

Seeing that he is tall and tall, but his demeanor is gentle and elegant, and his voice is thick and soft, with a strange charm, Chen Gong feels as if he is in the spring breeze, so he can't help but nod secretly.

This son is not very old, but he is deep and introverted. He comes from a humble background, but he is neither humble nor overbearing. He treats people and things without any disrespect or transgression. It is no luck to be able to achieve the current situation!

The other party was so courteous, how could Chen Gong dare to trust her, and hurriedly said: "Zhou Mu's words are serious."

"Mr. Gongtai really has the style of a gentleman." Wang Zheng picked up the wine glass and said with a faint smile: "A glass of thin wine is a way to show Wang Zheng's heart. Please drink it up."

Wang Zheng's face is naturally to be given, Chen Gong quickly drank it all, and just met the rightful owner, but in just a few words, for some reason, Chen Gong's favor for Wang Zheng has been rising steadily in his heart, although it is not enough to accept the head and worship, but The first thing in my heart has already come to fruition.

Such a young talent is more than enough to match Lu Qiling!Where does she have the qualifications to pick and choose?
After returning, he must immediately pack that unruly girl and send her to Xiapi.

Of course, this matter was not the main purpose of his coming to Xiapi. Thinking of this, Chen Gong was going to test his mind again.

He suddenly got up and left the table, first he made a dignified salute, and then he said in a loud voice: "Not to mention the great military achievements of Zhou Mu in Xuzhou, the tiger's prestige is even more widespread in Yan and Qingzhou. The palace has often heard rumors recently."

"Counting all the states in the country, in terms of young and promising, there is no one who goes out of the state to herd the right."

"In terms of the speed of uprooting, there is no one who goes out of the state to herd!"

"Wen Hou also sighed for it. He said that seeing a young hero like Zhou Mu now, he feels that his age is old, and the sun and the moon are wasted, but his achievements are not built. He should be ashamed of himself!"

In just a few words, he praised again and again, and it was also Chen Gong's first test of Wang Zheng.

Young and promising, will you be too angry and arrogant?

This is almost the most common problem for all young heroes, such as Xiang Yu in the past, and Sun Ce, the only Jiangdong bully who can be compared with Wang Zheng in terms of "young and promising".

It is not necessarily a good thing to become famous at a young age, and to be proud too early, and the reaction of everyone before made Chen Gong faintly worried.

All civil servants are in awe of Wang Zheng from the bottom of their hearts. This shows that Wang Zheng is well-mannered and has great prestige. At the same time, it also shows that few people will be the ministers who speak out, right?
What you hear on weekdays is all praises, will it further encourage the complacency of the king's government?

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "Mr. Gongtai's absurd praise, Zheng is really ashamed."

He didn't intend to continue talking about this topic. After all, Wang Zheng came from time travel, and he never felt that he was "young" in his heart. Knowing that in the original history, the Sima family became the final winner precisely by "boiling".

However, seeing the people around him, many people showed a proud attitude, especially Wu Sheng and Mi Heng, who almost raised their chins to the sky. After all, what Chen Gong said, Wang Zheng's achievements are also due to theirs. Wang Zheng couldn't help but be moved by the credit,
It seems that we have to talk.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng sighed, looked at Chen Gong and said in a loud voice: "Fame and fortune are not good. Today, Zheng himself is indeed considered to have a small reputation, and he used to be complacent."

"But it's about happiness first and then worry!"

Hearing this, everyone was startled, and Chen Gong asked in surprise, "Why did Zhou Mu make such a statement?"

"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. If it is superior to others, it will be wronged by the crowd." Wang Zheng said seriously: "In the past, Emperor Gao joined the princes to attack King Xiang. Wasn't it because of his sharpness that he aroused people's jealousy too much? "

"You have to know that the gun hits the first bird. Oh no." Realizing that this sentence may not be popular here, it is difficult to understand. Wang Zheng thought about it and changed his words: "The first rafters are the first to rot. Sometimes they stand out. It is better to hide your strength and bide your time." !"

Hide out
Chen Gong chewed this word over and over again, thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Shi Wangzheng, with admiration in his eyes: "General at such an age, he has the thought of letting go, I really admire Gong."

For the other party to say such a thing, at least it can prove that he has not developed arrogance because of his current achievements, which is extremely rare.

"When you're talking, you don't have to claim your official position," Wang Zheng said with a smile, "Neither sir nor Marquis Wen, I have never met before today, but I have been friends with each other for a long time. It is very fortunate for me to meet Yingcai in person today. "

"Elite?" Chen Gong shook his head: "Gong treats Zhou Mu with sincerity, why should Zhou Mu make fun of him?"

"Gong and Marquis Wen were defeated by Cao Cao and came to Xuzhou in embarrassment. Fortunately, Xu Yiwu County, the governor of the state, still has a tile to cover his head today,"

Speaking of this, Chen Gong laughed at himself: "A defeated general, how can he be brave, let alone talented?"

"Why do you say that, sir?" After saying this, Wang Zheng wanted to comfort him: "Victory and defeat are commonplace for military strategists. A man as talented as Gao Di is also surrounded by Bai Deng. How can we talk about it for a while?"

"Besides, the battle of Yanzhou has been heard by Zheng. It was a sudden locust plague. The defeat of Mr. and Marquis Wen is not a crime of war."

"Oh?"

Chen Gong heard the words and looked up, after the first worry was dispelled, he gave birth to the second one, but he was afraid that Wang Zheng would underestimate him because of Yanzhou's defeat. , I felt relieved immediately.

After looking at Wang Zheng for a while, he suddenly said: "The palace has something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Sir, please speak."

"Does the State Shepherd have ambitions?"

This question came out of nowhere, making people puzzled.Wang Zheng looked at Chen Gong's words in surprise, not knowing the purpose of the other party's question, he pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "In the past, General Fubo once said that a man's ambition is to be a man, and he will be strong when he is poor. Huh?"

This means that a man should be born with ambition, he should be more determined when he is down, and he should be more heroic when he is old, not to mention that his king is now at a time when he is young and proud, so naturally there is no exception.

Chen Gong nodded: "Shu Gong is presumptuous, I don't know what the ambition of Zhou Mu is?"

Wang Zheng glanced at Chen Gong, and said in a deep voice: "Now that Zheng is the state shepherd of Xuzhou, he naturally seeks to appease the environment, and wishes to comfort the people."

"This is the ambition of peace." Chen Gong shook his head, "Zhou Mu lived in troubled times, so the ambition should not be here."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng looked sideways when he heard this, with a half-smile in his eyes: "So what about the ambition of troubled times?"

Facing Wang Zheng's bright eyes, Chen Gong suddenly felt a wave of alcohol surging upwards, followed by more intense pride and courage.

He didn't answer first, but looked around at the people at the table, and suddenly stood up, and then cupped his hands and said: "This time I came to the west, I met Xuzhou princes, all of them were handsome for a while, even though they are not talented, they are also sympathetic to each other."

Then he said generously: "In the past, when Emperor Wen saw Li Guang, he once said that his life was not at the right time, 'It's a pity! When the son does not meet, it is like when the son is the emperor. How can a thousand households be worthless?'"

"From the perspective of the palace, it is a misfortune for the mediocre in this world to be in this chaotic world, but it is our great fortune!"

He looked at Wang Zheng again: "Does Zhou Mu think so?"

Wang Zheng was silent for a while, looked at Chen Gong who was in high spirits for a while, and then nodded.

He thought a lot at this time.

What Chen Gong said, if it falls into the eyes of those who are conceited in talent, learning and ambition, they must feel sorry for them.

But the "mediocrity" in his words made Wang Zheng deeply moved.

If you don't have the help of the system, the ability to foretell, and only rely on your own intelligence and ability, in such a world of great controversy, where will you have the opportunity to display your ambitions?

I'm afraid not to even talk about displaying ambitions. After struggling to survive every day, how can there be any ambitions at all?

For a talented and well-connected person like Chen Gong, it is natural to be a hero.

But for most people in the world, it is.
Once the hero draws his sword, it is another ten years of robbery!

"The current situation in the world is even more chaotic than when Chu and Han were fighting."

However, Chen Gong did not notice Wang Zheng's complicated state of mind at this time, and he continued to talk eloquently: "If there is a peaceful and prosperous world, even a hero like Zhou Mu may not be able to use force. Now that the sea is turbulent, it is the heroes who rise up. When heroes fight."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong stared at Wang Zheng, and asked word by word: "Excuse me, Zhou Mu, do you only want Xuzhou, or do you follow the example of Emperor Gao, Guangwu, with the world in mind, aiming at the eight wastes, and want to build a prosperous future?" Is it the result?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng became more and more suspicious.

Chen Gong this.
Is it really a shallow exchange of words?

He didn't know what the other party's intention was in asking this question, and he didn't know whether it was Chen Gong's own intention or Lv Bu's order, so he hesitated for a while, not knowing whether he should answer, and how to answer it.

Xu Fang saw this keenly, and interjected on his behalf and asked: "Mr. Gongtai, if you only want to live in Xuzhou, what should you do? If you want to imitate Gao Di, Guangwu, what should you do?" "

"Under Zhoumu's command, there is a lot of civil and military resources. If you only want to live in Xuzhou, it is nothing more than a bargain." Chen Gongdao: "If Zhoumu can imitate Emperor Gao, Guangwu's ambition"

"Gong Zi should do his best to help him, and first promote the cooperation between Zhou Mu and Wen Hou!"

"The feudal lords of Fang are competing with each other for hegemony; Jinzhou Mu wants to get married with Marquis Wen, so the vassals are not jealous?" Chen Gong said with a smile: "If you choose an auspicious time in the future, or take advantage of my good time, ambush halfway to seize it." So, what can I do?"

"Now that Marquis Wen's palace is here, it is to inform Zhou Mu that this marriage has been promised." Chen Gongdao: "Zhou Mu can prepare the dowry as soon as possible. After the palace returns to Wu County, he should immediately persuade Wen Hou to take advantage of this time. When you don't know, you can send your daughter to Xiapi, live in another house, and then choose auspicious marriages, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Wang Zheng and Xu Fang looked at each other, and Xu Fang asked again: "And then?"

"The state herd has now acquired Xuzhou. According to the palace, it is time to open the road to the east of the river!" Chen Gong said solemnly: "Wen Hou is stationed in the north for the state animal husbandry, and the town is quiet. The state animal husbandry can enter the river east from Xiapi and jump." Ma crossed the river, drove straight in, Yuan Gonglu, the dead bones in the tomb, with the state herdsmen and heroes, one battle can be won!"

"Xuzhou and Yangzhou are connected together, and with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, we can advance and retreat freely!"

"Entering can compete for the Central Plains, mixing in one universe, retreating can preserve half of the country, making a marquis and proclaiming the king, dare I ask Zhou Mu, what do you think?"

Chen Gong's long and thoughtful speeches are well-founded and full of inspiring words, which are quite touching.After finishing speaking, he did not return to his seat, and bowed to the end, waiting for Wang Zheng's answer.

Wang Zheng stared into Chen Gong's eyes for a long time, the ambition and aspiration in his eyes were unmistakable.

But what is it to show your heart in front of your own family?And this seems to be a bit of "persuasion"?

What's the situation, even if I get married to Lu Bu, isn't your statement a bit too much?
After pondering for a while, Wang Zheng suddenly laughed.

No matter what the other party's intentions are, let's adapt to the situation and cooperate with the other party to finalize this marriage as soon as possible.

He stood up against the table and chanted loudly: "A man who does not show his ambition is born with an eight-foot body!"

"Sir, what I said is very much in line with my wishes."
