Chapter 612 The old clothes are fragrant, leave him to Xun Ling, the new song is wrong, and Zhou Lang is ignored
Not long after Wei Yan and others conquered Wu County, good news came from Danyang on the other side. Zhang Liao, the newly attached state, had recently attacked Shicheng with a strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west. Wu Sheng's army went straight to Danyang, the prefecture.
Even in the eyes of the world, it was only a matter of time before the remaining counties and counties in Yangzhou surrendered to the royal government after Lujiang and Jiujiang were acquired. However, the trend of recovery is so fierce and its momentum is still eye-catching. It seems that whether it is Danyang's Shanyue bandits or
After many years of management by the Sun family of Wu County, in the face of the torrent of the Xuzhou Army, all resistance was swept away like insignificant pebbles. They could no longer stop and could only break up and flee.
Unknowingly, it was already February of the second year of Jian'an.
"Good things happen every week."
When he walked into the inner hall of the palace, the gatekeeper at the door smiled and saluted Zhou Yu. The official position was not high. If other people had a slim chance of entering the palace, even this gatekeeper would not have done it.
He was so polite, but Zhou Yu was different. After all, everyone knew that Wang Zheng valued him very much. He looked at him in a different light. He took the initiative to recruit him several times and was not annoyed when he was declined three times. He showed a rare good manner.
If Zhou Yu is like this, how can others dare not to respect Zhou Yu?
Zhou Yu also nodded politely, cupped his hands to the chief inspector and said, "Please inform the state pastor and ask Zhou Yu to see you."
"The state pastor has told me that if it is Zhou Zhizong, there is no need to notify him, he can just come in by himself." The chief inspector smiled and said: "Zhou Zhizong please come."
“Thank you so much.”
Zhou Yu walked along the corridor towards the study. When he came to the courtyard, although the door of the study was open, he did not dare to walk in casually, so he said loudly: "Wang Zhoumu, Zhou Yu wants to see you."
Zhou Yu did not answer immediately, but walked up to Wang Zheng and bowed first: "Zhou Mu, please take a look at this." He took out a piece of parchment from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to him.
"Yeah?"
"No."
Zhou Yu naturally knew who Wang Zheng was because of and didn't care. He was silent for a moment and nodded.
This is a letter of resignation.
"Thank you to Zhou Mu, every sentence in the book is written from the bottom of my heart."
Yes, if Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, failed to unify the world and establish the 400-year-old dynasty of the Han Dynasty, how could the opponent Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, be so famous?
"Brother Bo Fu's legacy will be inherited by me."
Wang Zheng was startled. He probably didn't expect Zhou Yu to write the letter. He took it and read it for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and asked sideways, "Gong Jin, do you really think so?"
Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and repeated what he said that day: "There are so many geniuses in the world, just like the crucian carp crossing the river, and those like Yu are unparalleled in the world. If Gong Jin returns to his heart, he should be treated as a scholar of the country."
!”
"However, what I want to pay this price for is Zhou Gongjin who can destroy the country and destroy the rebels, not Zhou Gongjin who manages the civil servants!"
But he didn't expect that as soon as his family expressed their surrender, Wang Zheng was overjoyed. At the previous celebration banquet, he personally promised to reward Zhou Yu based on his merits, and made Zhou Yu General Long Xiang, the governor of Lujiang.
But Wang Zheng was so sincere that Zhou Yu couldn't help but be moved. He remained speechless for a while, and some very absurd thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he were under Sun Ce, would he make such an unusual promotion under such circumstances?
"Gong Jin, when I first met Mr. Zhou Shang, I said something."
"You don't trust those who employ you, and you don't trust those who doubt you. Since I have entrusted you with this important task, I naturally trust you. But you say that your own abilities are not enough. Hey, does this mean that I am blind and have misjudged the person?"
As soon as this appointment came out, even with the prestige of Wang Zheng, it caused an uproar at the table.
Zhou Yu raised his head in shock, but heard Wang Zheng smile mockingly and said: "Your temper is too undesirable. I wonder if you can be so coy in front of others. It is really unmanly!"
Wang Zheng showed a reminiscence look on his face and murmured: "As you know, Gong Jin, I actually respect Brother Bofu very much. Originally, we could have become friends, but we are in troubled times, with many heroes vying for the throne. Although the Southland is big, it can also accommodate
Can’t live up to the ambition of two people!”
Sun Yi is Sun Ce's third younger brother. Although he is young, he is very brave. When he met Wang Zheng that day, he dared to glare and curse angrily. If it had been someone else who was so rude, he would have died countless times.
Already.
Zhou Yu looked at it blankly, Wang Zheng's hands were very thick, which was strange to say, but they were well maintained, fair and smooth, unlike other generals who had calluses from years of practicing martial arts.
But Wang Zheng sighed and continued: "I didn't want to say much about these things originally. Since you are unwilling to take on the important responsibility, Gongjin, I have to make it clear."
If troops are used against Jingzhou, Lujiang will become one of the front lines of the offensive, and all the military and political power of such an important place will be entrusted to Zhou Yu, a newcomer. Even if he had known that Zhou Yu was a talent, Wang Zheng had always favored him.
But it really exceeded everyone's expectations, including Zhou Yu himself.
Indeed, although he said that he was "poor in virtue, mediocre and incompetent," he actually didn't really think so in his heart.
Wang Zheng stretched out his hand to Zhou Yu and made it into a fist.
Since it is about affairs rather than military affairs, it means that Zhou Yu is not only given the power to take charge of all the troops stationed in the county, but also the civil affairs of the county, which is a very powerful power.
The marriage to Xiao Qiao became the last straw that broke Zhou Yu's insistence. Since there was no way to refuse, Zhou Yu, who had put aside her heartache, was originally prepared to have a good relationship with Wang Zheng.
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 discuss Zhou Yu's marriage. Although it happened unexpectedly, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao were originally intended to be concubines, plus other factors.
However, after some thought, Zhou Yu agreed and the wedding was scheduled for next month.
And although there is no news outside, the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China already know that Wang Zheng's next foreign military use is likely to be directed at Jingzhou.
"yes."
Zhou Yu once again showed a shocked expression. How did Wang Zheng know about this?
Wang Zheng smiled slightly. This matter was not recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He knew it, but when the two of them fought side by side in Hefei, he discovered that Zhou Yu's sword was also too long. His heart moved and he asked people to secretly inquire about it.
Wang Zheng still had a smile on his face, and he put the piece of paper on the oil lamp. The paper was very thin, and it burned immediately, giving off a burning smell.
Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this and was speechless for a moment.
"Oh, by the way, don't call me that. If you still don't want to call me Lord, how about you call me Yu Kou, or General?"
Wang Zheng put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Why should a man have great ambitions and achieve great achievements? To put it bluntly, it is just for the sake of wealth in front of him and glory in death. Has Gong Jin ever thought about what he would do if he stood on the throne in the future?
At the peak, Brother Bo Fu will also gain a lot?"
this.
Zhou Yu became more and more speechless. He had never thought of this before, so he could only stand silently in front of Wang Zheng, motionless. Wang Zheng walked around Zhou Yu, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it out with a "clang" sound.
He took the sword from Zhou Yu's waist.
"What's this?"
The same is true for Zhou Yu. He rarely has great ambitions, but is more confident that no matter his intelligence or martial arts, he is not inferior to any talent in the world. Not to mention the scarcity of talents on Wang Zheng's side, even like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao has a rain of advisers and a cloud of fierce generals.
There are really not many people who can catch his eye.
"It is said that Sun Yi and his brother are very similar, but this is not the case in my opinion. Although Sun Ce is brave, he is not a fool. As for Sun Yi, hey, a man with a violent personality and no sense of authority.
You're just a reckless man, this kind of guy hates me no matter how much he gnashes his teeth, but he can't really pose any threat, so he can let it go, but there's one thing you don't know."
And General Long Xiang was the fourth-ranked official who had conquered Anping for the second time. Not only did he jump three times in a row, but he also had the suffix of Governor of Lujiang.
How could Zhou Yu feel that his talents were not enough to serve as a prefect, and his martial arts skills were not enough to make him a fourth-grade general?
But it was precisely because of this deep-seated self-confidence and deep-seated pride that Zhou Yu felt that his current contribution to the Xuzhou Army did not deserve such a degree of reward and reuse.
Wang Zheng took another look at Zhou Yu's resignation letter and said, "I have little moral character and little talent, and am incompetent. I dare not put him to such a great use. I hope the state pastor will choose another good talent."
"But since I can defeat heroes like Brother Lian Bofu, no matter who my opponent is in the future, I will be confident!"
At this point, Wang Zheng took a deep look at Zhou Yu and said word by word: "You don't want to break your promise to others, are you willing to do so? However, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Xiao He was willing to run hundreds of miles at night to chase Han Xin.
, in exchange for this general, not to mention a hundred miles, but a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, if you can win Gong Jin's heart and achieve great things, what's the harm?"
He paused and then said, "This appointment was made at the banquet that day. The general said it personally in front of many civil and military officials. If it is withdrawn now, wouldn't it mean that the order would be changed overnight? Have you ever thought about this?"
Seeing Zhou Yu come in, Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said warmly: "Sit down wherever you like. We are almost a family. We don't need to be so formal when we get along in private in the future."
"Sun Ce is also a hero. If he were not a general, he might be able to work together with Gong Jin to achieve great achievements."
The height of your opponent determines your height, and the reverse is also true. This statement is very novel, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but think about it.
There was a hint of ridicule in his words. Zhou Yu couldn't help but blush, and he didn't dare to argue. He just continued to hand over his hand and said, "This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. I hope Zhou Mu's kindness is correct."
"In this case, selling this old face and being stigmatized as "untrustworthy" is not a big deal."
Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Yu with a smile and said with unspeakable sincerity: "Gong Jin, the road ahead is still long. If you are willing to ride with me, don't say any more unnecessary words!"
You must know that Zhou Yu's current official position is engaged in work, also known as Biejia. As an assistant to the governor and governor, although this official position has great power and important position, it is still a secretary type. The salary is only 800 shi, and the official position is only 7
The quality is similar to that of a county magistrate.
"Is it Gong Jin?" Wang Zheng's voice came from inside, "Please come in."
Of course, it’s not the position you’re working in that you’re resigning from.
Today, only Wu Sheng and Xu Fang, who were the first to receive this kind of treatment from the Dragon Minister and Chief Minister, have received this kind of treatment.
But sometimes the pride of the latter is not inferior to that of the former, but even exceeds it.
Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "When I first entered Xuzhou, in order to recruit the Wang clan of Langya, I made a promise that I would help them take revenge in the future and wipe out the Sun clan of Wu County and the Yi clan!"
Zhou Yu trembled all over: "Zhouzhou Mu?"
"But there is such a thing."
There are two types of proud people. One is like Mi Heng and Guan Yu, who puts their pride on their faces and shows it to others with their raised nostrils. The other is like Zhou Yu and Guo Jia, who hides it silently in their hearts.
The outside is covered with a skin that is either "modesty and polite" or "bohemian".
"I heard that Sun Ce hired a famous craftsman and spent seven days and seven nights to create two swords, one Chifeng and one Shuangfeng. Chifeng wore it himself, and Shuangfeng gave it to you, in the hope that brothers can join hands and hold the sword together.
Across the battlefield, yes or no?"
He said loudly and resoundingly: "You are a natural general. That day, I was told your strategy against Shanyue. I was greatly amazed and felt ashamed. Therefore, I did not comment on the art of war and strategy, and I did not dare to comment. However,
We've known each other till now, but I've found something wrong with you."
After reading this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhou Yu, half-smiling but not smiling: "I don't know how many people have heard the word "poor virtues and talents", but it's just other people. Gongjin, you have a beautiful belly, why didn't you think of it?
Where are the new words?”
His skill was already superior to Zhou Yu's, but his movements were so fast that Zhou Yu was unprepared and couldn't help being surprised. Wang Zheng raised the sword in front of his eyes and murmured: "Is this the frost-edged sword?"
"When you interceded on behalf of the Sun family that day, I asked you for the reason. You said that people had no faith and refused to stand. If I refused, you would have broken your trust. I didn't say anything more. Not only did you let Sun Ce go,
My mother and sister don’t even care about the bold and arrogant Sun Yi, right?”
What?
Zhou Yu raised his head in surprise when he heard this. The Langya Wang family wanted to destroy the entire Sun family? If this is true, wouldn't that mean that?
This trust is too great, this promotion is too high.
Even though Zhou Yu was confident that sooner or later he would stand at the top of this troubled world and at the forefront of the sea, his shoulders felt heavy for a moment.
Zhou Yu was surprised and said: "Zhou Mu."
Zhou Yu strode forward and looked up. Wang Zheng had changed into regular clothes today and was sitting in front of the desk reading a volume of silk books. Although it was daytime, the study room in the palace was too large and therefore a bit dark. There were several candlesticks conveniently placed on the desk.
But Zhou Yu knew that this was probably the most powerful fist in the world.
Whether it’s the authority it holds or the power contained in the physical body itself!
Thinking of Wang Zheng's identity and his inhuman martial prowess, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little awe in his heart. He looked at his fists and murmured: "General, why do you trust me so much? Do you value me so much?"
"Because you are Zhou Yu!"
Wang Zheng laughed loudly and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder gently: "The old clothes are fragrant, leave him Xun Ling, the new song is wrong, I have taken care of Zhou Lang, north and south of the Yangtze River, two handsome men, two national scholars, Xun Jun has been captured by Cao Ah Man,
General Zhou Lang would never want to miss it!"
The most annoying thing about Chinese New Year is drinking
After a long drink, I woke up at 9pm, hurriedly coded, and finally published it before 0pm.
Hey, I haven't finished visiting my relatives and friends yet, and I'm going to another place tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. I guess I won't have time to type during the day.
