Zhang Liao has read a lot of books, but he is a martial artist after all. His words are sonorous and powerful, and his voice is rough and bold, with a faint sound of gold and iron. Logically speaking, he is not suitable for reciting poems and writing poems.
He opened his mouth and said it was a poem, and all the generals felt a strange feeling welling up from the bottom of their hearts. As soon as Zhang Liao finished reciting the first sentence, a generous and fierce atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire audience, making people feel energetic.
It was so refreshing that I felt like I was back in the days when I was guarding the frontier at Yanmen Border Fortress.
After Zhang Liao finished reading it in one breath, the generals almost understood why Lu Bu reacted like this after reading the letter.
This poem also pokes at Lu Bu's vital point.
In fact, Lu Bu's reputation was not achieved in the Central Plains, but in Bingzhou, where he achieved countless fierce battles with the Xianbei people. The frontier fortress was called "Flying General", which was naturally compared to the then flying general Li Guang.
When he was at Yanmen Pass, it was the time when Lu Bu was truly happy and free, and it was also the experience he was most proud of.
After arriving in the Central Plains, Lu Bu encountered obstacles at every turn. First, he competed with Dong Zhuo, but Ding Yuan had no plan and fell into a counter-intentional plot. He killed Ding Yuan in a rage. Afterwards, he had no place to stay and could only temporarily surrender to Dong Zhuo. Later, he
Xiliang's army was ostracized in various ways, and Wang Yu, a young boy, had no choice but to do anything. Later, he was forced to leave Luoyang, and nothing went smoothly.
Although he never said it, all the Bingzhou generals who had been with him for many years could tell that Lu Bu still missed his hometown in Saishang.
The name of Wang Yu's poem is "Song of Saixia". There is no compliment or goodwill in the poem, but it does the best to please the person he likes.
Therefore, with the many entanglements between Lu Bu and Wang Yu, coupled with the current situation, he still sighed, similar to "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me. Wang Pengju is the one who knows me." A feeling of mutual sympathy arose.
It's not that Lu Bu was easily persuaded, it's just that Wang Yu's move was too clever, too wonderful, and the poem was too good. Even Hou Cheng and others who had the least favorable impression of Wang Yu had to admit this.
After reading the poem, Zhang Liao still held the letter in his hand, his lips kept moving, and his eyes were filled with memories of the past. The look on his face was actually a little intoxicated; Gao Shun's character was somewhat similar to Yu Jin, he was usually stern and didn't talk much.
, but at this moment, there was actually a bit of anxiety on his face, as if he was looking for pen and ink to write down this poem.
Cao Xing and others were all amazed, whether they were sighing at the poem or at Wang Yu's intentions. Only Hou Cheng and the other two looked unhappy, cursing Wang Yu in their hearts for being despicable and cunning for using such a little trick to take advantage of the loophole.
Yes, poetry is a novel, but if it is written at the right time and to the right person, it will be different. What’s more, this poem is Li Taibai’s eternal masterpiece?
With different thoughts, Kong Rong arrived.
"Kong Rong met General Lu."
Although they have different thoughts, this song has undoubtedly aroused the emotions of all the frontier warriors. At this moment, the hall is filled with a generous and tragic atmosphere. As soon as ordinary people come in, I am afraid that they will
Even the personal guards who led Kong Rong were surprised. However, Kong Rong was as if he didn't notice anything. He walked in proudly and calmly saluted.
"Your Majesty, it's hard work for you to come from afar." Lu Bu waved his hand to Zhang Liao to put the letter away. Then, as if nothing happened, he asked Kong Rong, "Why did Mr. Unknown Ju come to Luoyang?"
"It's not for other reasons, I just came here to take advantage of the road." Kong Rong saw Lu Bu's little move in his eyes, but didn't mention a word, cupped his hands, and answered calmly.
"Huh?" Lu Bu's expression condensed, and a strong aura came out, "Wang Pengju wrote that poem as a gift to a certain person, because he would have an upright heart when he wrote it, so he gave Mr. Ju a chance to speak, and he still used these words.
Come to fool the general, do you really think that the general's sword is bad?"
Lu Bu was killed from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. At this time, he deliberately released his overwhelming momentum. The murderous atmosphere in the hall suddenly doubled. Although there was no wind, it still made the onlookers feel chilled all over. Kong Rong was the first to bear the brunt.
The feelings can also be imagined.
"General, why did you say this?" Kong Rong, however, didn't realize it and pretended to be confused: "My lord speaks sincerely, how can he say that he is fooling?"
He is a descendant of Confucius and a direct descendant of Confucianism. There are good and bad Confucian theories. If used to govern the country, it will definitely fall into a dead end, but if used to cultivate one's character, it is a first-class knowledge. Moreover, Kong Rong was sent as an envoy, and stood behind him.
Looking at the huge Qingzhou, he was full of confidence. Not to mention Lu Bu who only used his momentum to suppress the enemy. Even if he put down his swordsmen and axes in formation, Kong Rong would not blink an eye.
"Are you sincere?" Lu Bu asked with a sneer: "Then tell me, what benefits can your lord get from spending so much effort to recruit Bai Bo?"
"Normally speaking, there are naturally no benefits." Kong Rong Surong replied: "In fact, my lord does not act completely as a prince. Many times, he does things based on his own likes and dislikes and emotions.
That’s all. However, strictly speaking, this matter cannot be said to be without benefits."
"Oh? Keep talking." Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly, as if he was willing to hear the details.
Zhang Liao was moved in his heart.
He secretly marveled at Wang Yu's employment. Although Kong Rong was not good at handling government affairs and was a mess in terms of strategy and understanding people, his eloquence was extraordinary. He could close relations and gain favor without leaving any trace.
Isn’t it true that my lord’s actions are always very willful?
"It's just a matter of popular support."
Kong Rong calmly talked about it: "My lord has a saying: The human heart is like water, and the hegemony is like a boat. The water can carry the boat and also overturn it. In the past, my lord changed his name and went to the east of the river to command Bai Bo to conquer the south and the north.
The friendship of the robe; today, my lord, with the purpose of 'never abandoning, never giving up', traveled thousands of miles to help and raised troops to respond; if there is an emergency in the future, how can our soldiers and soldiers have any reason to betray each other?"
"If we must say that we have a plan, the word "people's heart" is what I, Qingzhou, have this time. I wonder what General Lu thinks?"
Lu Bu frowned and didn't answer, as if he was thinking; Zhang Liao looked at Kong Rong's expression intently, as if trying to distinguish the authenticity from his face; while Gao Shun nodded slightly, seemingly moved by Kong Rong's words.
generally.
Seeing this, Hou Cheng couldn't hold himself back any longer. He jumped out and shouted: "Mr. Ju's words appear to be righteous on the surface, but in fact they are suspected of seeking fame through publicity. If there is really no intention of plotting against Hanoi, what is the reason for the Qingzhou Army?"
Raid Mengjin, seize hundreds of General Zhishu's warships, and almost seize the city?"
Before Hou Cheng finished speaking, Wei Xu followed up and asked: "Uncle Zhi is a kind-hearted and reasonable man. If your Majesty really doesn't have any evil intentions, why don't you just send an envoy to the door to have a good discussion with him? Now you are doing this!
We are fighting in battle, but you are using sweet words to deceive people. Do you really think that there is no one in our army?"
The trio's cooperation is indeed very tacit. After the first two questions, Song Xian followed up with a sentence, directly concluding: "This move must have evil intentions, the lord must not be careful!"
Hou Cheng thought very clearly. When he was in Luoyang, he let Wang Yu go against each other and suffered a big loss. Therefore, he held a grudge and said a lot of bad things about Wang Yu. Once Lu Bu really leaned towards Qingzhou, he would
The end will definitely be very bad.
Therefore, as far as Hou Cheng is concerned, no one can take refuge in Qingzhou.
Besides, Qingzhou attaches great importance to Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others. They give gifts to each other during every year and festival. Although there are never any generous gifts, they are thousands of miles away, but they show their sincerity. What a generous gift. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others.
I'm afraid Shun won't accept it.
Wang Yu has always been dismissive of the three of them.
From Wang Yu's attitude, Hou Cheng was convinced that the other party must have a grudge. Otherwise, why would he look at him differently? His martial arts skills were obviously not as good as Zhang's!
The three of them cooperated tacitly, thinking that no matter how big the issue was with Kong Rong, it was impossible to argue with him three times. Even if what he said made sense, he could still mess up the situation and muddy the water, leaving him no time to continue convincing Lu Bu.
Kong Rong slowly raised his head, looked at the three of them, and asked doubtfully: "Are the three of them also under the command of Marquis Wen?"
"...What's going on?" Hou Cheng didn't know his intention and was stunned for a moment.
"Well, it's not like that, it's not like that." Kong Rong nodded, shook his head, and muttered to himself.
Hou Cheng said angrily: "Kong Ju, I respect your reputation and character, so I treat you with respect. Why are you pretending to be crazy and stupid? Do you look down on my lord?"
"No, no." Kong Rong spread his hands, as if helpless, and said: "Marquis Wen has an upright mind and a strong spirit. Although Rong is often in Qingzhou, he is well-known, and my lord always thinks of him. So-called
"What goes up and what follows, and Rong thought he was under the command of Marquis Wen, should also be a tragic song of generosity. But when the three of them opened their mouths, there was something in Rong's heart that he didn't say and he was unhappy. What can I do, what can I do?"
Hou Cheng was extremely angry and shouted subconsciously: "What do you have to say?"
Kong Rong shook his head and sighed: "How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
"You..." Since entering the hall, Kong Rong has always behaved in an elegant and honest manner, very like an elder. Hou Cheng was in no position for a while. Leng Ding was choked up by Kong Rong's bitter sarcasm.
How to answer.
"It would be a bit harsh to say that a few people judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, but if you don't describe it this way, they have a weak understanding of talents. It is really beyond description. I hope you won't be blamed if you offend." Hou Cheng and others
They all forgot one thing. How could a person who was highly praised by Mi Heng be a purely honest person? Kong Rong was not much worse than Mi Heng when it came to being mean, but he just lacked the arrogance.
"How dare Fu Ru'an bully me!" Hou Cheng's blood surged up, and he was furious. With a cry, he pulled out the long sword from his waist. With a burst of anger, he rushed up.
He had long thought of disrupting the peace talks, and he acted very decisively. He had already rushed out before shouting. None of Zhang Liao's generals expected this change. When Hou Cheng rushed out and tried to stop him, nothing happened.
Is it too late? Seeing Kong Rong's blood splattering in five steps, he screamed in his heart that something was wrong.
Killing an envoy is the most drastic way to express a break. Once done, the rift between the two families may never be healed.
"Why are you howling? Get out of here!"
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from the commander's position, and the wind started to rise. A burly figure passed by like lightning, and the strong wind brought by it made people feel like they were being cut. It was obvious that his face was cut.
quick.
Lu Bu takes action!
His figure flashed past, and he arrived first. He raised his hand and grabbed Hou Cheng's wrist. Then he flew up with his kick and lifted Hou Cheng directly out of the conference hall. After landing, he still had the remaining strength.
Before it disappeared, it rolled far away like a gourd, and finally hit the stone lion in front of the gate with a 'dong' sound, and became motionless.
Turning around, Lu Bu asked sternly: "Kong Ju, you don't have to go around in circles with me. I just ask you, how can Wang Pengju ensure the safety of Hanoi? A large number of people and horses are crossing the border without false roads."
Guo Zhiyou?"
"My lord has already expected this question from the general," Kong Rong replied calmly: "Rong was about to clear up the doubts with the general, but actually..."
