The ancients valued humility. The two people present at this time had performed a classic play in history: Three Concessions to Xuzhou.
Is Liu Bei really embarrassed to ask for Xuzhou? Of course not, it's just a pretense. Tao Qian may not understand the other party's thoughts, but just like the emperor has to decline twice when he succeeds to the throne, this kind of formality will always have to go.
.
However, etiquette also varies from person to person. Although Gongsun Zan was very arrogant, he was upright and did not stick to trivial matters.
You can tell just by looking at his attitude towards Liu Bei. He still took good care of this classmate, but when he got excited, he couldn't take care of it so much and casually ordered him to fetch the horse.
Liu Bei was still so calm on the surface, but Wang Yu knew that Uncle Liu Huang also had a rift in his heart. Later, he was unhappy because Lu Bu called him his wise brother. Now he is leading the horse for Gongsun Zan, so he must be very unhappy too, right?
Of course, he would not express it, because at the moment, Gongsun Zan is his only support. Unlike when he and Lu Bu met again in Xuzhou, he was already the governor of a state.
In short, it is very interesting to observe Liu Bei. When getting along with Gongsun Zan, you don't need to calculate too much. As long as you show your true character, it is enough to win the other party's favor.
There is no need to be humble or anything like that.
"Haha, Peng Ju is really refreshing. Young people must have this kind of momentum of taking responsibility. Okay, very good." As Wang Yu expected, Gongsun Zan was a very pure military commander. Seeing Wang Yu Shuang, he quickly changed his title.
He was overjoyed immediately after accepting the gift.
This favor was too big, and his previous attitude towards Wang Yu was very bad. If he didn't do something, he would feel depressed.
He was a little scared at first, fearing that Wang Yu would be like Liu Bei and would be annoyed if he had to maintain a gentlemanly attitude. Fortunately, the other party was also a happy person. Thinking about it, he was a person who could do so many great things.
How could he be the mother-in-law?
"Pengju, is the army in Hanoi so large?"
Before Wang Yu came over to explain, he had already issued an order for his county soldiers to meet on the other side and carry the baggage together.
Looking at the dark crowds on both sides of the strait, Tao Qian was a little surprised. There seemed to be too many people. They must be civilians. The people on the other side of the strait were all wearing military uniforms, and a large proportion of them were wearing armor.
"Oh, they are not all county soldiers. After Han Hao's troops and horses were defeated, I led my army back to rescue them and collected many defeated troops. It would definitely not be possible for the newly defeated army to go into battle, but it was just right to carry the baggage. In fact,
, with Brother Bogui’s elite troops here, plus Tao Gong’s Danyang soldiers, these soldiers under Yu can only do this.”
Gongsun Zan looked strange and was silent.
He did think so in his heart, but the relationship between the two parties had just improved, and he couldn't agree directly. He was not good at talking duplicity and didn't bother to do it, so he had to pretend to be serious.
However, Tao Qian heard something different. He hesitated and asked: "Pengju, have you planned to attack Hulao Pass for a long time? With the current military strength, can you attack it?"
Old Tao Qian does have a good temper, but after serving as an official for decades, he has skills and strategies.
He knew very well that Yuan Shao was not as magnanimous as he seemed. Wang Yu had given the alliance leader a blow, and the matter would definitely not be settled like this.
Judging from Wang Yu's various actions, this young man is not as reckless and impulsive as the rumors say. Many of his actions are carefully considered.
Tao Qian believed that since Wang Yu dared to seize food from the tiger's mouth, he should have a corresponding plan to face Yuan Shao's suppression and doubts. The best way, of course, is to capture Hulao Pass and gain a great victory.
However, with the current military strength, is it possible?
Wang Yu calmly replied: "Yu does have this plan, but if he wants to implement it, it depends on the specific situation. If there is a gap that can be taken advantage of, if Yu is brave, please listen to my instructions and defeat the enemy and make achievements; if there is no chance, , Yu won’t do it forcefully, I have my own way to explain to Alliance Leader Yuan.”
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Why are you afraid of that concubine giving birth to a child?" Yuan Shu patted his chest and said, "Let's fight here first. It doesn't matter if we can't fight. When Sun Wentai breaks through the Dagu Pass, we won't be afraid of nonsense." Zhen is not flustered, but at the right time, Hulao Pass is just a matter of time, and you can’t capture him easily?”
Seeing Yuan Shu's face glowing red, Wang Yu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Call him arrogant. The vanguard generals in Nanyang were indeed very fierce. Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, was a strong man who played a considerable role in the early Three Kingdoms period. It cannot be said that he is too arrogant to have expectations for him.
However, although he did not remember the specific process, Wang Yu remembered clearly that Sun Jian's battle against Dong did not seem to have gone smoothly at the beginning. Counting on Sun Jian's breakthrough to create a fighting opportunity was probably to wait for the plum blossom to quench his thirst, and in the end he had to rely on himself.
Of course, it doesn't matter if Yuan Shu is defeated for a while. Anyway, he has only determined the general strategy and has not yet drawn up a specific attack plan. It is also troublesome to be questioned by Tao Qian all the time.
"Eh!" Seeing that the scene suddenly turned cold, Yuan Shu himself felt a little bored. In the midst of embarrassment, a horse neighed not far away.
When Wang Yu turned around to look anxiously, he saw that Liu Bei was back.
Behind him were two strong men, one with a red face and a long beard, and the other with a black face and a mustache. They were the two great men that Wang Yu had just met, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
All the celebrities came, but what attracted Wang Yu's attention the most was not the people, but the horses!
It was a big black horse, all black, with not a single hair on it. Only its four hooves were white, as if it were treading on a patch of snow. The horse was not yet equipped with a saddle and bridle, and it looked very restless as it swayed its head and tail, looking wild. It looked untamed. If the horse hadn't been led by a fierce man like Guan Zhang, it's hard to say whether something would have caused an accident.
"Good horse!" Even if he didn't know anything about horses, Wang Yu knew the value of the black horse after seeing the energy of the black horse. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, the horse that General White Horse sent out seriously could not be an ordinary thing. ?
"This is a fine breed obtained by Qiu Liju, King of Wuhuan, in exchange for a thousand slaves and Xianbei people. It was born from the wild horse of Wuhou Qinshui. Qiu Liju treasured it very much. In order to get this horse, his precious son Tadun He knelt outside his tent for three days, but he refused to let go. As a result, in the fifth year of Zhongping, he changed his mind and colluded with the traitor Zhang Chun to invade our Han border. As a result, he was overthrown by a certain drum. After taking away his lair, this horse is one of the trophies..."
Looking at the dark horse, Gongsun Zan's eyes were full of reluctance and reminiscence.
From his plain narration, Wang Yu can also feel the pride and courage. He defended his family and country, chased the North, and beat Chief Hu to flee in a panic. He couldn't even save his most precious war horse... Only such a victory can be achieved. It is the most enjoyable victory!
"I wish I could fight side by side with my eldest brother at the right time, kill the barbarians and bleed them into rivers, so that they will never dare to look south! However, this horse is a testimony of my eldest brother's pursuit of death and north, and I feel a little uncomfortable accepting it. OK..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gongsun Zan laughed loudly: "If nothing else, just your ambition, you are worthy of this horse! Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away. This is the rule set by the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.
, Zan is a warrior who knows it, but those guys who claim to be celebrities and belong to the clan don't understand. It's okay if they don't understand, and they still come to make noises to someone. If they are that kind of people, even if they kneel in front of someone for three months,
I won’t give them a horsehair!”
The two of them had a good conversation, but Liu Bei's face turned red.
He knew that Gongsun Zan was not talking about himself, but Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. The dispute between the two had been around for a long time and was expanding day by day over the issue of whether to suppress or pacify foreigners.
To be honest, Liu Bei agrees with Liu Yu's opinion. Hardness cannot be sustained, and softness cannot be maintained. The way of a gentleman is to combine hardness and softness. Gongsun Zan's insistence on being strong always makes people worry that hardness is easily broken.
However, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart. The key issue is that Liu Yu doesn't look down on Liu Bei at all, but Gongsun Zan is nostalgic for old friendships. It's self-evident where he will go.
What made Liu Bei sigh was that Wang Yu was so pretentious that his ability to talk to people and ghosts was far superior to his own. He followed Gongsun Zan, running back and forth for so long, but he still didn't win his heart.
However, in just two days, Wang Yu became brother-in-law with Gongsun Zan and even got a BMW...
Comparing people with each other will lead to death!
Even so, Liu Bei did not intend to change his ways. This gentleman's style was something he had practiced for many years. It was not very effective against Gongsun Zan, but it was still very advantageous when getting along with celebrities.
If you stay true to yourself and show others humility and kindness, you will always get a chance.
"Brother said it well. The spirit of a great man should last for thousands of years. Unless the Hulu lay down their weapons and surrender completely, they will be beaten hard until they completely surrender or die! What kind of gentle policy?
It's all nonsense. It may have some tricks at first, but later on, it will become an excuse for appeasement and surrender. For thousands of years..."
Liu Bei was wrong. Wang Yu is still acting in his true colors now. In his previous life, he was actually a quite radical nationalist. His attitude towards all international disputes was tit for tat. For this reason, he offended many high-ranking people and countless others.
Life and death.
"Ahem, what I mean is that those who are not of my race must have different minds. Our China's affairs are ruined in the hands of these beasts! The eldest brother is kind, and the younger brother accepts it with a smile. One day in the future, the younger brother will take advantage of it.
This horse travels across the northern frontier, and together with my eldest brother, it exalts the might of my great Han Dynasty, and it will live up to my eldest brother’s gift of the horse today!”
"Well said!" Gongsun Zan was extremely happy to meet a close friend who was also a famous young hero. "Actually, you don't need to take it too seriously. Although this horse is good, my eldest brother can't use it. As you can see
Already..."
He waved his hand behind him and said, "The soldiers under a certain command are all riding white horses, so suddenly a black one is put in. It really doesn't look good. This horse is still young, just two years old, but it is not difficult to travel eight hundred a day."
, in a year or two, there will be another thousand-mile horse, and it may not lose to the famous Red Rabbit."
After hearing this, Wang Yu was even more happy. The red rabbit left a deep impression on him, and he had long been thinking about where to get a similar one. However, things like BMWs are hard to come by, so he
I didn’t have high expectations, but I didn’t expect it to come without any effort.
He looked at the black horse, and the more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. The black horse seemed to be spiritual, looking at Wang Yu curiously with its big black eyes, then suddenly snorted, raised its front hooves, and hissed loudly.
"Brother, it is true that I have a destiny with this horse." Gongsun Zan saw this and smiled and said: "Although this horse is with the army, no one has ever ridden it. It has not been wild. My brother must tame it first. Although my brother is good at martial arts.
, but my riding skills seem to be mediocre. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Well, this horse has no name yet, so I might as well take it as well."
Wang Yu replied without hesitation: "My name is Wu Zhui!"
"Wuzui?" Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows, while Tao Qian and others frowned, obviously thinking of the allusion to this name.
However, Gongsun Zan is not a person who sticks to vulgar etiquette. The next moment, he laughed again: "What a good name. Brother, your name has the word "Yu" in it, and you are also known as the Little Overlord of Mount Tai. Since your debut, you have been invincible.
Now I have Wu Zima again, he is just the right little bully, haha."
"This time, I, the elder brother, will obey your orders. The armies will follow your orders and march westward to Hulao. Let's see how my brother shows his power and breaks through Xiongguan!"
"Here!"
With Gongsun Zan's promise, Wang Yu's research plan became more likely to win. He clasped his fists and said proudly: "I will live up to my elder brother's trust!"
