Liu Zhang would not argue with a drunkard. He turned around and wanted to go back, but the drunkard lost his temper and stumbled towards Liu Zhang. Feeling a bad wind coming from behind, Liu Zhang turned his body to one side and grabbed the drunkard with both hands. The hand that came and the big back actually smashed the drunk man to the ground.
"Pfft... vomit..." The drunkard was thrown to his side, and when he turned over, he started to vomit wildly. After vomiting all the wine in his stomach, the drunkard got up dizzy, and when he looked up, he saw Jushu holding his nose.
"Don't... don't drive, sir?!" The drunkard seemed to know Jushu.
"Huh? You are... Junyi!" Jushou asked in shock, "How did you do this?"
"I... Hedong Guan Yunchang?!" The drunk man was about to say something when he suddenly saw Dian Wei and Guan Yu sitting aside drinking. He didn't know Dian Wei, but he knew Guan Yu.
"Do you know a certain family?" Originally the drunkard had nothing to do with Guan Yu, but the drunkard actually revealed Guan Yu's identity in one sentence, which made Guan Yu a little curious.
"You...don't you recognize me?" The drunk man was a little disappointed.
"Have we met before?" Guan Yu thought for a while, but he had no impression of the drunkard.
"That's right! I'm not even as good as your defeated generals, you shouldn't remember me." The drunkard shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, the drunkard thought of a question. He looked at Jushou and asked in surprise: "Don't Master Jia, why are you drinking with the generals under the command of the champion? Could it be that you have taken refuge with the champion?"
"I hope that Duke Ju will surrender to me, but it's a pity that Duke Ju's heart is stronger than gold!" When Liu Zhang heard the name Jun Yi, he immediately knew who this drunkard was. Besides Zhang He, the famous general in Jizhou, who else was named Jun Yi?
"Crown...Champion?!" Zhang He seemed to stutter today, stuttering when he opened his mouth.
"Sit!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked Zhang He to sit down, but Zhang He was sweating coldly. Liu Zhang was actually with Ju Shou, God knows what they were doing. You know, Zhang He was a little person, and he was recently deposed by Han Fu. For the champion Hou He didn't know anything about his visit to Jizhou.
"I..." Zhang He was very hesitant. He couldn't stand or sit down. It was even more impossible to leave because Guan Yu and Dian Wei had already put down their wine glasses and looked at him blankly. Zhang He had no doubt that as long as Liu Zhang gave the order, , Dian Wei and Guan Yu would tear him into pieces. Zhang He had seen Guan Yu's bravery before.
"Junyi, sit down!" Jushu said with a smile: "The champion is visiting Mr. Han, and Mr. Han ordered me to accompany the champion to go shopping! An invitation is not as good as a chance encounter. Since you are here too, I will drink two drinks with the champion."
"How am I qualified to accompany the champion?" Zhang He breathed out immediately. Although he said he was modest, he still sat down. After sitting down, Zhang He immediately touched the wine jar with his hands.
"Jun Yi! Just now I heard someone scolding Master Han of Jizhou. What crime do you think this person deserves?" Liu Zhang saw that Zhang He was so interesting, so he wanted to play a trick on him.
Zhang He's hand holding the wine jar suddenly shook, and he almost threw the wine jar away. He showed a wry smile and said, "Did someone scold Mr. Han just now? Why didn't I hear it? Well! I should be drunk! For those who don't know, If it’s not a crime, I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it!”
Liu Zhang burst out laughing when he heard this, and even Ju Shou couldn't help but laugh. Ju Shou laughed and said: "Zhou Champion, please stop teasing Jun Yi! Jun Yi has been very depressed recently!"
"Oh?" Liu Zhang asked doubtfully: "I remember that Jun Yi was well loved by the Governor of Han, so how could he be depressed? If he was not a close confidant of the Governor of Han, how could he be qualified to participate in the selection of the Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan?"
"Alas!" Zhang He picked up the wine jar and took a sip of it: "It's the selection of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan. I... alas..."
Zhang He hesitated to speak, but Ju Shou couldn't stand it any longer, so he spoke on his behalf. It turned out that Zhang He and Zhang Liao were brothers in need. Zhang Liao was disliked by He Jin because he went to war without authorization, and Zhang He also went to war without authorization. Han Fu intervened in the Yuan brothers' fight for the heir, which aroused Han Fu's disgust. However, Han Fu was more kind than He Jin, and at least he did not drive Zhang He away.
It is indeed wrong to say that Zhang Liao and Zhang He went to war without receiving orders, but they cannot be entirely blamed. As a military general, who doesn't want to be the best in the world? As the saying goes: There is no first in literature, no second in military. In history, Even though Zhang Fei knew he was defeated by Lu Bu, he would still challenge Lu Bu. This was because Zhang Fei refused to admit defeat. It was precisely because of this unwillingness to admit defeat that Zhang Fei became a top-notch master among the military generals of the late Han Dynasty. The most important thing about a martial artist is that He is not afraid of death! Unfortunately, Han Fu does not understand martial arts, so He Jin is not qualified to be a martial artist.
Looking at Zhang He's dim eyes, Liu Zhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Han Wenjie is short-sighted and neglected Jun Yi for a trivial matter. If Jun Yi does not give up, come to Bingzhou and I will treat you as a general!"
"What a champion, I finally see the purpose of your coming to Jizhou. It turns out that you want to poach all the talents in Jizhou!" Jushou held the wine bowl, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I told you, your The wine doesn’t taste good, as expected!”
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "What Ju Gong said is wrong! The ancients all know that there are many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao. There are so many righteous people in Hebei! If the Korean festival can't be used, why not use it for me? A great talent like Jun Yi, if Under my command, I must be a trusted general, how can I allow him to drink to drown his sorrows like this? What a pity, what a pity, it is simply a waste of natural resources!"
"This..." Jushou was a little helpless, because what Liu Zhang said was true. In fact, Han Fu and Yuan Shao have very similar personalities, and employees all know their origin and reputation. Although Zhang He is from a noble family, his family background is really not worth mentioning. , not much different from a poor family. In addition, Zhang He was not well-known. Even though he was highly regarded by Han Fu for his wisdom and bravery, once this regard was gone, Zhang He would be nothing.
Zhang He was somewhat touched by Liu Zhang's respect, but Han Fu was not as brilliant as He Jin, nor did he directly change his family like Zhang Liao. In order to show his respect for Liu Zhang, Zhang He knelt on one knee and said: " Thank you very much for your kindness to Lord Champion, but Lord Han of Jizhou has treated me well. It would be unjust to abandon him! After I repay Lord Han’s great kindness, how about I serve under Lord Champion?"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Does Jun Yi know Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen?"
Zhang He asked: "But that Zhang Liao who fought dozens of rounds with your general Zhang Fei?"
"Exactly!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You don't know, Zhang Liao was even worse off than you after he returned. He was directly driven out by He Jin and Ding Yuan. But he couldn't let go of his former glory, and only after careful consideration did he defect to me. When he was thinking about it, I said to him: My door is always open for him. Likewise, I give these words to you!"
"Thank you, Champion!" Zhang He was extremely moved. Although Han Fu was kind to him at the beginning, he was not as highly regarded as Liu Zhang. If he hadn't betrayed his master without any reason, he would be looked down upon by others. Zhang He really wanted to leave with Liu Zhang immediately.
"Alas!" Seeing that Zhang He was also impressed by Liu Zhang, Ju Shou couldn't help but shook his head. Liu Zhang smiled and asked: "Ju Gong, don't forget our bet!"
"What bet?" Zhang He asked doubtfully.
Jushou put aside the agreement between him and Liu Zhang, and Zhang He asked with some surprise: "Zhou Champion, how is this possible? How can anyone give away their territory to others?"
Jushou smiled and said: "Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either, that's why I made such a bet with the champion."
"You will know when the time comes!" Liu Zhang showed a mysterious smile. In his memory, as long as history did not change, Han Fu would definitely dedicate Jizhou to Yuan Shao.
"This..." Liu Zhang's smile seemed to Ju Shou and Zhang He to be a sign of confidence. Ju Shou secretly thought in his heart: "Did the champion and Lord Han reach some agreement? It's impossible!"
"Since the champion said so, the general will wait and see!" Compared to Ju Shou, Zhang He's idea was much simpler.
Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Jun Yi, I have one more thing for you to do. No matter what, protect Ju Gong!"
"Don't worry, Champion!" Zhang He patted his chest and said: "If Mr. Ju is here, Mr. Zhang is here; if Mr. Zhang is not there, Mr. Ju is also here! If you want to hurt Mr. Ju even a hair, you must step over Zhang's body!"
"Uh... I was so decadent just now, but now I have become so lively and vigorous. Liu Zhang's influence must be too great!" Jushou looked at Zhang He dumbfounded. In fact, this was not because of Liu Zhang's influence, but because Liu Zhang knew that Zhang He needed it.
What.
Life in this world is nothing more than fame and wealth. It cannot be said that there are not many people who are as indifferent as saints, but there are not many. It would be good to have one in a few hundred years. Literary men like Jushu just want to leave a name in history, and
A warrior like Zhang He just wants to serve on the battlefield, and he doesn't even need to have a high official position, because he believes in his own ability, and he can become a general even if he starts as a soldier.
"Ju Gong?" Seeing Ju Shou in a daze, Liu Zhang shook him.
"Huh?" Jushu came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "I'm sorry, what's wrong with the champion?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Actually, I still have something to ask for, but I just don't know how to ask."
"Although the champion prince said it bluntly, as long as I can do it, I can't deny it!" Although Jushu didn't really believe that Han Fu would sacrifice his land to others, there is no absolute in the world. If it is true as Liu Zhang said, then Liu Zhang will be Jushu's next lord, and Jushu will naturally
You need to have a good relationship with him.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I heard that Jugong has a close friend who has not yet served as an official. This person's surname is Tian Feng and his courtesy name is Yuan Hao. He is the most proficient in internal affairs. To be honest, although the three great sages under my command are also well versed in political affairs, they are not military.
Strategy is their strength. I would like to ask Mr. Ju to recommend Tian Feng to me, is it possible?"
"This..." Jushou hesitated. He was well aware of Tian Feng's talent and even more so of Tian Feng's bad temper. Jushou said with some embarrassment: "Recommendation is not impossible, but Tian Feng..."
"What's wrong with Tian Feng?" Seeing Ju Shou's look, Liu Zhang was a little nervous. If he came to Jizhou and didn't bring anyone back with him, he would be embarrassed!
Jushou gritted his teeth and said, "Tian Feng has a bad temper and an upright temperament. I'm afraid he will offend the champion!"
