Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 Who Comes From

Chen Gong stayed in Xiapi for another five or six days. Seeing that New Year's Day was approaching, Zhang Zhao had also arranged the betrothal gift, so he was ready to return.

Wang Zheng arranged another banquet the night before the other party's departure, but this time he did not attend from the beginning to the end.

He was busy with other more important things at this time.

Choose an envoy, prepare a generous gift, and go to Xudu to congratulate the emperor.

On the one hand, it is because he is now a Han official in name, so naturally he still has to talk about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, not to mention that when the emperor moved to Xudu, he did not show up to congratulate him. This time, under Zhang Zhao's reminder, Wang Zheng thought twice. Even if it is impossible for him to go to the tiger's lair himself, arrange an envoy, and write a memorial, it is still reasonable.

On the other hand, since Cao Cao sent Dong Zhao as an angel to carry out the plan of the two tigers fighting for food, at the same time, he was also inquiring about the reality of the Heavenly Army.
What is the current situation of Xudu and Cao Cao today?

So this messenger needs to think carefully.

An envoy sent to another country because of diplomacy itself represents a country or a power.

The first one is that the appearance must pass the test.

After all, this face does not represent a person. Not to mention handsome, it must also be dignified.

Second, the character must be tough, with both courage and integrity. At the same time, it is necessary to choose how to express this toughness according to the situation and the strength of the two parties.

Whether it is domineering, condescending, or round outside and square inside, you must clearly understand that this is just a posture for negotiation and game.

The third thing is to be assertive and adaptable. After all, you are far away from home and deep in other countries. Many times, you can only solve and deal with emergencies by yourself.

The fourth item, of course, is eloquence.

Whether you go to the palace to meet the emperor, meet Cao Cao, or have a private banquet with the talented family in Xudu, whether you can escape unscathed, whether you can win face for Wang Zheng, take the initiative, take the lead, etc., the basic skills are all in one. Tongue on.

And Wang Zheng went over Xuzhou several times, only to find that none of them met this condition!

Both Zhang Zhao and Mi Heng have manners and eloquence, but the former lacks the second and latter.
In fact, the second article is also missing.

Zhang Zhao's nature is too smooth, and indeed lacks some courage and integrity, while Mi Heng's toughness and rebelliousness are all in nature, but he doesn't know how to adapt to the situation and varies from person to person.

In addition, Xu Fang also meets most of the conditions. In terms of appearance, he can be said to be the No. 1 general in Xuzhou's forces today.
Xu Fang can't be considered bad, after all, eloquence is often causally related to the knowledge in his stomach, and he is naturally easy to talk eloquently and eloquently when he has read poetry and books.

Just thinking that Cao Cao had Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu, the unparalleled counselors who have lived forever, Wang Zheng was still a little confused.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Zheng finally made a decision.

He ordered Xu Fang and Mi Heng to go to Xudu together.

In name, it is natural that Mi Heng is the main envoy and Xu Fang is assisted, but in fact it is reversed. After all, Xu Fang is calm and has a better sense of the general situation, while Mi Heng is aggressive and aggressive.

From Wang Zheng's point of view, it is natural to be prudent when going on an envoy to an "enemy country".

After receiving the order, the two hurriedly prepared their clothes that day. After all, there was no time left, and the next morning was also the same day when Chen Gong returned. Xiapi was quite far away from Xudu. Naturally, he had to go by water. After thinking about it, Wang Zheng finally decided to send his envoy there himself.

Sending someone to a foreign country for the first time can neither arouse Cao Cao's contempt nor destroy the current stable situation.

When they arrived at the pier, the accompanying [-] soldiers from the Heavenly Punishment Battalion were all in place, as well as some spies and spies selected by Mi Fang from the Benming Division, followed intelligence spies, and the [-] Heavenly Army arranged by Xu Fang himself.

Since this period of time, the commercial roads in Xiapi have begun to look like they are prosperous. Even in the newly opened waters, many boats were moored on the muddy yellow river early in the morning. It has just entered the port, and there are many sails and masts, connecting them into one piece.

After looking around for a while, Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction. At this time, Xu Fang and the two were also preparing to board the ship, so he ordered the guards to bring wine and respect each other.

"The weather is beautiful today, and the wind blows comfortably, making people feel refreshed." Starting a conversation casually, Wang Zheng looked at the two of them continuously, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you will not be able to pass the new year. I feel a little guilty."

"It's a long way to go, pay attention to your body." First said something to Xu Fang Wenyan, and then looked at Mi Heng, Wang Zheng couldn't help but added: "Zhengping, we are now at a stalemate with Cao Cao, we must not disrupt the situation."

"Of course, if someone stirs up trouble and provokes you, you can't just back down, lest I hurt Xuzhou's face."

"Don't worry, my lord." Mi Heng solemnly cupped his hands.

"That's very good." Wang Zheng said with a smile, "I left in a hurry this time, and I drank this glass of wine first. When the two of you come back, I will hold a special banquet to welcome you."

"Yes." They both replied at the same time.

Not long after, under the watchful eyes of Wang Zheng, the big ship sailed away from the pier, sailed westward along the wide river, and left Xiapi's jurisdiction within a cup of tea.

Wang Zheng didn't turn around until he couldn't see Fan Ying, and rode his horse towards Xiapi under the guard of his personal guards.

There is still a period of time before the wharf is away from Xiapi City, and when it is almost noon, the gate of the city appears again.

Just after entering the city gate, the soldiers who cleared the way in front suddenly stopped their horses and stared ahead with vigilant eyes, as if there was something wrong.

When Wang Zheng raised his eyes, he rode back to report, but the crowd in front of him blocked their way and asked if they wanted to change lanes.

When there was no foreign envoy, Wang Zheng usually did not deliberately clear the road ahead of time when he was traveling, but when he was about to nod his head in agreement, he suddenly heard the sound of arguing in front of him, which surprised him immediately and changed his mind.

Wang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Put away your weapons, let's go see what's going on."

"Here."

But there was a big man and two people in front of him who were arguing and arguing.

Because Wang Zheng is wearing casual clothes today, the number of guards around him is not too many. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is extraordinary, but there are not many people in the outer city who have seen Wang Zheng. There are too many people, most people are not used to it, and they don't care, it's just that when Wang Zheng walked forward, they would instinctively take two steps back, and then continued to watch the excitement with great interest.

At this time, a soldier came back and reported in a low voice: "Jiang" was reminded by Wang Zheng's eyes and quickly changed his words: "My lord, it seems that the quarrel was about recruiting soldiers."

Wang Zheng turned his eyes after hearing the words, and he saw a list on the left not far from the crowd, with the recruitment clauses written on it.

This time, a shout of anger suddenly sounded, as if Jiao Lei had rolled past!
"Why am I not eligible?"

Wang Zheng looked at the reputation, but saw that the man turned his back to him. Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance and expression clearly, but just listening to the angry words, he could imagine that the man must be glaring at this time, with a look of displeasure on his face.

Wang Zheng was actually quite curious, not to mention how brave this man is, whether he has martial arts or not, just looking at his back, he is tall and powerful, definitely a good material for a soldier..
How could he not meet his own requirements for enlisting in the army?
At this time, it was the two storytellers who were facing the man's anger, but they were the two storytellers arranged by Tianjiying to explain the text. No words came out.

"say!"

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the man became more and more annoyed. He stepped forward one by one, grabbed the skirt of his clothes and pulled the two of them up into the air without touching the ground:
'Why aren't I allowed to join the army? "

"It's none of the villain's business."

Finally, one of them suppressed his fear and said: "You are not eligible, strong man."

"Didn't it mean that anyone who is physically fit can join the army?"

The man roared, and the person who sprayed directly was spitting on his face: "What do you say that when you join the army, you will be in charge of food, housing, and clothes; those who join the army and make meritorious service will be rewarded with land and money?"

"Where am I not qualified?"

"A strong man is strong." The man blushed and stammered back: "You are not young."

"How ridiculous!"

The man became more and more angry, and shouted: "You don't care how old I am? Is this looking down on people? The few refugees recruited by you before were all dry and skinny. I punched three of them. Why should I be strong? I'll go?"

"Strong man, this is an order from the state pastor."

"Hugh used Wang Zhoumu to fool me! Do you think that Wang Zhoumu has little promise, so young people are all good?"

While speaking, the man threw the other person down, raised his fist and hit that person in the face, only heard a bang, the person immediately cried out in pain, obviously his nosebleed was bleeding from the beating.

"You are young, what's the use?" The man sneered and said, "I just put in a little effort, but you won't be able to bear it!"

"Don't talk about you alone, what's the use of the two of you together?" While speaking, he let go of his hand again, and then he punched the two of them, and he kicked them, making them crawl all over the ground and complain endlessly. .

When the man was quarreling with the two recruiters before, the common people on the side were very excited, but seeing that he dared to make a move at this time, everyone's expression changed immediately.

After all, Wang Zheng has not been in charge of Xiapi for a long time, and the people have not completely forgotten Liu Bei's kindness, as well as the killing and bloodshed that happened not long ago. Seeing the men bullying the opponent's subordinates, some people have a heart of hatred, so they naturally applaud secretly.

But once you get started, the nature is completely different.

Wang Zheng, who had a panoramic view of all this, also frowned secretly, feeling displeased.

"Where are the soldiers on the list?"

He looked around and asked, according to the usual practice, besides the Tianji Battalion in charge of explaining, there should be one soldier guarding each recruiting point.

Hearing this, the captain of the guards quickly dispatched people to look for those soldiers. Seeing that Wang Zheng's face was a little gloomy, he quickly asked for instructions. After getting approval, he put away his weapons, jumped off his horse, squeezed into the crowd, and approached the man .

But after a short time, the two people on the ground were already bruised and swollen, and besides the dust and mud rolled out, there were also blood stains on their clothes, making them look extremely embarrassed.

"Hey! You man, stop!" The captain of the guard shouted, "Don't you be afraid of losing your head if you dare to beat an official?"

The man glanced at him, but ignored him, and still just beat the two of them hard.

How dare!

The captain of the personal army was furious, and he punched out as soon as he stepped forward.

But he saw that the man seemed to have eyes behind his back, and without turning his head, he lightly dodged sideways, the captain of the guard was about to go up again, but suddenly the man opposite him kicked him on the knee.

He couldn't dodge and fell to the ground.He simply rolled over, trying to hug the man's leg and knock it down, but the man laughed loudly and let him hug him without moving. After struggling slightly, the captain of the guard was kicked by him again. far away.

"Do you want to stand up for others with this little ability?"

Staring at the disgraced captain of the army, the man smiled disdainfully: "The mayfly shakes the tree, it's beyond its control!"

Among the crowd, Wang Zheng raised his brows and his eyes flickered sharply.

He finally saw the true face of this man, and also understood why the two of them refused to let him join the army.

This man has big ears, which can be called a majestic appearance, and his eyes are even more radiant, looking forward and looking majestic, quite majestic, but his temples are already gray, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which cannot conceal the traces of his age
One can tell at a glance that this person is at least over [-] years old.

The so-called seventy years of life has been rare since ancient times. From the pre-Qin period to the Jin Dynasty, the most prosperous and peaceful period, life tends to be stable, material life is rich, and the average life expectancy is only 52 years old. In troubled times, such as the Warring States period and the Three Kingdoms period, it is only 35 years old. age.

Speaking of men at this age, strictly speaking, there has never been a shortage of men in the army.

But that's all for the commander in command.

In terms of soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy and take the lead bravely, this is a situation that can be retired.

In the end, he was going to join the army?
but
Looking at the captain of his own soldiers, Wang Zheng glanced at the man again, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Although he is a little older, he is quite capable.

Now that he has become his personal captain, no matter what happened before, Wang Zheng and the system will not let his personal bravery be too bad, so he used experience early on to get him to the third rank and turned into a yellow scarf elite soldier.

And a third-rank soldier couldn't stop this strong man's three punches and two kicks, as if he was powerless to fight back like a child?
Such bravery, even Wang Zheng couldn't help being moved by it.

He was even more curious now.

Looking around, Wang Zheng selected two other soldiers who had also reached the third rank, and ordered: "Go and help."

Added another sentence: "Don't use weapons."

结果
Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, Wang Zheng Fu sighed deeply. The only thing he was lucky about was that he had changed into regular clothes, otherwise he would be ashamed.

Three against one, still no match for that man!

Wang Zheng continued to wave, so three became five, and the next time, five became ten.

But the result is the same.

No matter how many go up, none of them are the generals of that guy, and they all turn into gourds.

The people in Xiapi were fascinated by watching, and they all began to cheer excitedly.

Although these challengers were not wearing armor or helmets, it was obvious that they were either soldiers of the Heavenly Army or the guards of some high-ranking official.

But the strong man is an "insider" who can be seen at a glance. They naturally support the latter, not to mention that the other party has performed so well?

As for the remaining personal guards around Wang Zheng, everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and they begged for orders one after another.

Wang Zheng didn't feel annoyed at all, but he looked at the man with more curiosity, his brain started to work rapidly, and he began to guess the name of this man's origin.

After all, with such a level of force, it is unlikely that he will remain "unknown", right?
