Chapter 93 Chapter Ninety-three: Liu Ji changed his name
After welcoming Zhang Liang into Suiyang City, Liu Ji led Zhang Liang straight to the county governor's office, because Liu Ji had already set up a banquet in the government office to entertain Zhang Liang. Firstly, he wanted to calm down the shock of Zhang Liang's attack.
, and secondly, it was to find out Zhang Liang’s evaluation of his performance in governing Dang County.
According to common sense, when Zhang Liang returns to Xianyang, he will definitely report what he saw and heard in Dang County to Fusu as a basis for Fusu to judge Liu Ji's ability to govern.
Since he met Zhang Liang himself, Liu Ji knew that the market rumors about Zhang Liang were one-sided and not true. Therefore, he was particularly concerned about Zhang Liang's evaluation of him, so he had to use the banquet to find out.
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Ji began to direct the topic to his own governance of Dang County: "Master Censor, I heard that the land of Neishi County where Xianyang is located is prosperous and prosperous, and I yearned for it. I often used Nei Shi as a copy, intending to copy it.
Dang County governs a prosperous place like Neishi County, but it suffers from lack of good governance. Now that my envoy has reached this point, I would like to ask you to comment on Beizhong's administration and give you some pointers, so that Beizong can better preside over the government affairs of Dang County."
Although Da Qin's rice wine cannot make people intoxicated, it is more than enough to make people tipsy. At this time, Zhang Liang was already in a tipsy state.
Although he escaped from the assassination of those thieves, the coachman was seriously injured due to his own self-confidence. Although he was rescued, it could not completely make up for the guilt in Zhang Liang's heart. Therefore, these days
Zhang Liang's emotions have always been dominated by self-blame and guilt.
Under the control of melancholy, Zhang Liang couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of rice wine at the banquet. Naturally, he was a little tipsy. After hearing what Liu Ji said, Zhang Liang started talking more. Taking advantage of the wine, he started to talk more.
I confided my feelings to Liu Ji.
"Liu Ji, among all the people in the world, apart from the Young Master, you are the most important person. You have also committed rebellions, but you wisely chose to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. In the end, you were granted the title of Governor of Dang County. So,
I think you are the best person in the world who can judge the situation. You said that the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, the Jiangdong Xiang family, the young master Hu Hai, and Touman Shanyu, they will die and they will live in obscurity, but you are the only one who will survive.
The most comfortable thing is that I have been here in Dang County for a while, and I have some understanding of Dang County. The management is really good, which shows that you are a talented person."
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. The drunkenness in his eyes became even more.
Hearing Zhang Liang's praise for himself and his achievements in governing Dang County, Liu Bang was not very happy. He also felt a little more grateful to Zhang Liang in front of him. He couldn't help but get closer to Zhang Liang and became more courageous.
"Your Majesty, I have always had a question in my humble position. What kind of person do you think the young master is?"
It stands to reason that Liu Ji could not ask such a question, but at this time Zhang Liang was already a little drunk, so Liu Ji had the courage to ask Zhang Liang this question. Even if Zhang Liang blamed him, he could take advantage of Zhang Liang's drunkenness.
Denied all the reasons.
Liu Ji was very curious about Fusu, but he had always suffered from the lack of opportunity to see him. Now that Zhang Liang came and drank wine, it was naturally the best time to find out what Fusu was like from Zhang Liang. Liu Ji would not let go.
Yes, so I had the courage to ask.
"Alas, you, Zhao Tuo, and the Jiangdong Xiang family are all figures who have not been born for a hundred years. It is a pity that you and the young master live in the same life. This is not only your blessing, but also your disaster. No matter your mind or strategy,
Characters like the Young Master are rare in the world. The most terrifying thing is that he is younger than you. How can you fight with the Young Master? I initially thought about defecting to your service, but after a trip to Xianyang, I
I have given up this idea, because I see from the young master that you have no chance of winning..."
As Zhang Liang spoke, he lay down on the table and fell asleep. The light rice wine is not intoxicating, but it can intoxicate a melancholy heart.
These words were spoken from the bottom of Zhang Liang's heart, but he had been suffering from the pain of no one telling him. Now that he met Liu Ji, Zhang Liang took advantage of his drunkenness to express his thoughts to Liu Ji, unintentionally or intentionally.
Seeing Zhang Liang lying on the table, Liu Ji shook his head helplessly.
"Guards, help Mr. Yushi go back and rest." Liu Ji called the two guards in and ordered them to help Zhang Liang leave the banquet hall.
After Zhang Liang left, Lu Wan spoke: "Brother, it seems that your choice is right. It is indeed a wise move to surrender to Fusu."
"Lu Wan, do you know who this good teacher is from?"
"I don't know about that." Lu Wan shook her head numbly.
"Old Man", but Lu Wan was not shocked by the name "Old Man".
"Who is the old man in the village?"
"You're an unlearned common man. The old man is the descendant of Guiguzi himself, and his skills are all over the world." Liu Ji glanced at Lu Wan speechlessly and explained helplessly.
After learning about Zhang Liang's coming, Liu Ji asked some soldiers who knew Zhang Liang's details and got a lot of useful information.
Dozens of people sneaked into Qingzhang Mountain in South Vietnam to start an uprising.
"Brother, if Zhang Liang has such a good background, why was he still captured by Zhao Tuo? I'm afraid he has no ability and only has a false reputation, right?"
"It's just a false name. Do you know how many people they brought with them when they sneaked into Qingzhang Mountain? Just a few dozen people. It was these dozens of people who formed a team in Qingzhang Mountain and caused a lot of trouble under Zhao Tuo's nose.
, Is this a false name? Please come back to Ying Yao. You think this is an inconspicuous job, but it is not. Ying Yao has long told the world that he will not become an official. Everyone in the world knows this.
Liang dares to take on such an errand, is it for nothing?"
Liu Ji paused as he spoke, glanced at Lu Wan, and then continued: "He said just now that he thought about coming to join me at first, but then changed his mind after a trip to Xianyang. This was by no means a temporary statement on his part.
Speaking quickly, it can be seen that Fusu is more terrifying than we know. Look at Touman Chanyu and Zhao Tuo, which one is not stronger than us. What happened in the end? Wasn't he forced to death by Fusu?
?”.
After listening to what Liu Ji said, Lu Wan nodded thoughtfully, obviously believing what Liu Ji said.
"By the way, there's one more thing. You must never contact your former brothers again." Liu Ji told Lu Wan.
"Brother, isn't that the case?"
"When your head falls off, you'll know it's not serious."
…
The next day, Zhang Liang said goodbye to Liu Ji and left Suiyang City under the escort of the original team of light cavalry, preparing to travel to other places.
Before leaving, Zhang Liang gave Liu Ji a suggestion:
"Liu County Sheriff, now you are the head of this county. Liu Ji's name is a bit casual. I think the County Sheriff's demeanor is definitely not an ordinary person. In the future, he will be reused by the young master. It is only a matter of time to become a prince sooner or later. I am brave enough to do this."
The county governor gave him a good name, called Bang. Bang means governing the country and bringing peace to the country. What does the county governor think?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not accept this suggestion. Although the word "Bang" is good, I dare not use it lightly for fear of being jealous of the young master, which may in turn endanger my life." Liu Ji refused in fear.
"You don't have to worry, Governor Liu. Even if the young master knows about this, it won't be a big deal. The young master has a broad mind that is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
"In this case, Liu Ji will be disrespectful. Let's do as the envoy said and change his name to Liu Bang."
Seeing that Liu Ji accepted his suggestion, Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji and smiled knowingly, then bowed to Liu Ji and said goodbye, got into the car that had been prepared, and left Suiyang City.
Lu Wan was confused as she watched Zhang Liang's car drive away.
"Brother, I rashly gave you a name. I think this Zhang Liang has evil intentions and intends to murder eldest brother. If the name Liu Bang is known to Fusu, there is no guarantee that he will not become suspicious."
"Lu Wan, you are wrong. Zhang Liang seems to be bohemian, but in fact he is extremely shrewd. Changing my name is actually recommending me to Fusu. It not only shows Fusu's recognition of my achievements in governing Dang County, but also implies
I have the talent to govern the country. As for the suspicion that I have a disloyal heart, it is absolutely impossible. Now besides you, do I have a brother who followed me in the rebellion? Even if I have two hearts, where can I go?"
…
Ten days later, Zhang Liang ended his tour in Dang County and returned to Gaoyang County. At this time, the coachman's wound had completely healed, but he was still a little weak.
After staying in Gaoyang County for three days, Zhang Liang and his coachman embarked on the journey again to Huaiyang Mountain in Chen County.
