Zhuge Jin was not discouraged. "At least you can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, there will be no loss. No matter how bad it is, you can also inquire about the situation in Jizhou."
Chen Deng's heart moved. "If Ziyu worked tirelessly, I wouldn't mind giving it a try."
Zhuge Jin bowed his hand. "I am willing to serve the general."
Chen Deng's expression was slightly slowed down, and most of his depression dissipated. He looked back at the central army tent and said slowly: "Tiyu, wait a few more years, I should go to the army to experience it, right?"
"It should be."
"Is it possible to come to the army of the king?"
Zhuge Jin immediately understood what Chen Deng meant. "This is hard to say. But if you can come, you will ask the general to give me more advice."
"I dare not say the advice. They are all from Xuzhou, so they should help each other." Chen Deng stood with his hands behind his back. "By the way, where is the Huaiyin man Bu Zhi you mentioned last time now?"
"When I came back, I heard that he was still in Kuaiji. I don't know where he is now."
"I lack a competent Sima under my account. Ask him if he is willing to surrender."
Zhuge Jin understood it and agreed immediately.
He had mentioned the excuse to Chen Deng before, but Chen Deng didn't take it seriously. Now Liu Bei has many newcomers, including Chen Dao from Runan, Shiren from Guangyang, and Fazheng from Zhong.
Chen Deng felt the pressure and finally thought of recruiting Xuzhou Township Party and enhancing his strength.
Xuzhou is not short of famous scholars, but lacks generals who have the ability to command troops.
Bu Zhi is both civil and military, and can be a general. Chen Deng used to look down on such a person, but now he has to change his attitude due to the situation.
"General, Bu Zhi is far away in Kuaiji, and it is difficult for a moment. I have another person to recommend to the general. If the general is interested, you might as well take the time to meet him."
"Who?"
"Xu Sheng, a native of Ju County, I have seen him in Wu County. He is extremely brave and good at using spears. He is a rare tiger general."
“Where is it?”
"I heard that he had returned to Pengcheng a few days ago. Now, maybe on the way back home, it is blocked by the war, and there is a great possibility of being stranded in Kaiyang."
"Please ask Ziyu to prepare a book and greet me."
"Here."
After the anger faded, Chen Deng returned to the central army's tent.
Liu Bei finally accepted Fa Zheng's suggestion and planned to take the initiative to attack and test Yuan Xi's confidence. He solicited opinions from Chen Deng, and Chen Deng agreed and volunteered to take on the task of taking on the main attack.
Liu Bei was very satisfied with Chen Deng's attitude, but he still expressed tactfully that the attack was just a test, and success or failure was not important. In contrast, the safety of the camp was more critical. I hope that Chen Deng could defend the camp, and Zhang Fei would assume the offensive task.
Just do it.
Chen Deng was just expressing his opinion, not really trying to attack. In his opinion, Liu Bei's strength does not have the upper hand, and it is difficult to be effective in taking the initiative to attack, and it is more stable to defend the camp.
Since Liu Bei had this idea, he agreed with the situation.
Liu Bei immediately made arrangements, planned the date of the attack, and ordered the generals to prepare their own preparations.
After the meeting, the generals dispersed, and only Liu Bei and Fa Zheng were left in the tent.
Liu Bei ordered people to bring wine and food to drink with Fazheng.
Fa Zheng thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Encourt, why did Zhuge Ziyu be willing to be the Lord Chen Yuanlong, but not the official?"
Liu Bei glanced at Fa Zheng and smiled helplessly, "They are the villagers, so they can get a chance to talk."
Fa Zheng snorted. "The only thing in their eyes is Xuzhou, how can there be a great man? Guandong and Guanxi? When will they be equal and no longer have prejudice?"
Liu Bei laughed. "Xiaozhi, aren't you prejudiced against the people of Guandong?" He raised his hand and signaled that Fa Zheng would not have to argue. "I am a border land and I also feel that the people of the Central Plains are arrogant and conceited, but the territory of the Han Dynasty is vast, the south
People in the north, people in Kanto and Guanxi are too different, and it is difficult to get the same. This is also a fact, and there is no need to force consistency."
Fa Zheng smiled, raised his hand, and scratched his eyebrows. "Yes, so the emperor is far-sighted and determined to solve this problem. He not only wants to be with the east, west, south, and north, but also turns it into summer."
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Including this Xu Yi."
Liu Bei couldn't help laughing, pointed at Fa Zheng, and laughed "puff".
Xuzhou now regards itself as the Central Plains, but used to be the Dongyi. A few jokes about the history of the barbarians of the Xuzhou people in private are one of the common topics between Liu Bei, a border province and Fa Zheng, a Guanzhong people.
While teasing, their moods are different.
Speaking of people from border provinces, Liu Bei often thinks of Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu first arrived in Xuzhou, he wanted to make friends with him. Not only did he invite him to the banquet, but his wife Wei also came out to see him. One of the reasons was that they were all from border provinces and should be close to each other and wanted to be brothers and brothers with him.
.
At that time, he thought Lu Bu was too vulgar and was worried that Lu Bu would plot against Xuzhou, so he politely declined Lu Bu.
Thinking about it now, he despised Lu Bu, was it because Lu Bu was from a border province?
Now that Lu Bu returns to the court, he becomes the wolf cavalry governor, who is valued by the emperor. He is still entangled with Yuan Xi in Xuzhou.
If Lu Bu could have accepted Lu Bu's closeness at that time and had the help of Bingzhou cavalry, why would he be afraid of Yuan Xi's cavalry now?
It’s not that God didn’t give him a chance, it’s because he didn’t catch it himself.
But the emperor grabbed it tightly.
There are not only one example, but several examples.
This is true for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.
Therefore, the world can only belong to the emperor, so it is better to be a vassal king with peace of mind, even if the country is more remote.
But it is not easy to build a vassal state. The emperor gave him a chance, and it depends on whether he can seize it.
It seems that the talents under his command are still far from enough, especially the strategists.
There were many people around him, including children from aristocratic families like Chen Deng. But it was not until Fa Zheng came that he realized what a real adviser should look like and what role he could play.
Unfortunately, Fa Zheng was from the court, so he came to Xuzhou to temporarily assist him in the battle. When the war ended, Fa Zheng was about to go back.
If Fa-rectification can be left behind, that would be great.
Liu Bei's heart moved. "Xiaozhi, are you twenty-five years old this year?"
"Yes."
"Are you married?"
"Not yet." Fa Zheng smiled and said, "A few days ago, Guanzhong was in chaos. I fled to Yizhou. People were in panic and were like duckweed. How could I care about getting married? Last year, when I returned to Guanzhong, the emperor refused to abandon him and summoned him to
The scattered cavalry didn't care about it for a while."
Liu Bei understood the meaning of Fazheng.
He is now the minister of the Sanqigong beside the emperor, and most people look down upon him.
"It is rare for young people to have a sense of accomplishment, but there are three unfilial things. If you have no descendants, you should be more careful. If you have a suitable woman, you should not miss it. Although the scholars and officials in Shandong are self-conceited, there are many intelligent people in Shandong.
He is the best at managing his family and caring for his husband and children. For example, the Mi family, whom I just came from a businessman, is a virtuous man.”
Fa Zheng laughed silently and raised the wine glass in his hand. "The envoy not only has a beautiful white jade, but also a beautiful concubine, which is really enviable."
"If Xiaozhi is interested, you might as well pay more attention." Liu Bei also raised his wine glass. "This Langya is a place where beauty comes from. You may have heard that Cao Mengde's concubine Bian is from Kaiyang, Langya. Although he came from the family, he had a big fortune. The demeanor of a woman is much better than Mrs. Ding.”
Fa Zheng suddenly felt energetic and leaned forward. "I heard that there are many descendants of Bai Di in Langya, with white skin as white as snow. Is it true?"
Liu Bei smiled and squeezed his eyes. "After defeating Yuan Xi, I will take you to see it."
