Zhou Busu drank half a cup of tea in one breath, spit the tea leaves in his mouth on the ground, raised his head and said slowly to Liu Zhang: "To me, Zhang Lu and Pang Xi's army of 100,000 are nothing more than a group of ants on a stone slab.
Whether to step on or pinch, it depends on my mood, but it seems that it is no longer my turn. The adults have already thought of a way to deal with it, right?
Don't you want to keep me here in the middle of the night and listen to your military secrets just to tie me to Xichuan? But let me tell you clearly, there is no need to waste your efforts. In the whole world, I have not found anyone who can be my lord.
Man, your Excellency is a rare hero in this world, but you can't do it either."
"Huh~~" Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief. For the first time, he realized that talking to people with too many IQs was a huge blow to his self-confidence. His opponents knew his purpose so well that his actions and words, in retrospect,
They all look very silly.
"Although I have thought of a way to defeat Pang Xi, I can't give you a complete solution, so I won't hesitate to give it a try."
"If I don't tell you, are you going to kill me?" Zhou Buyi lowered his head and looked at the tea leaves stirring in the cup.
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment. Zhou Buyi glanced around the grape arbor and chuckled: "I knew when I walked in here that there are only two outcomes for me tonight, one is to take refuge with you, the other is to die, and your murderous intention
As early as today when I defeated Xu Jing, it had already emerged. The chill when you stepped onto the high platform was definitely felt."
Liu Zhang finally knew that he could not defeat this guy through his scheming, so he simply made it clear: "Zhou Buyi, you are very smart, and too smart. You are right. Today you defeated Xu Jing with your tongue. I have indeed moved."
Murderous intention, because from today on, you will become famous all over the world and will definitely become the target of competition among all the princes.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that you will become an official for other princes, so, as you said, you really have only two outcomes tonight, either be loyal to me or die."
Zhou Buyi touched the tea cup with his fingers and said calmly: "I choose the second option."
Liu Zhang stared at Zhou Buyi closely. Under the bright moonlight, Zhou Buyi's young face shone with white light, but there was no trace of fear, and there was even a peaceful smile. At this moment, the murderous intention was still very weak, or rather
It was Liu Zhang who was hiding his innermost feelings and suddenly surged up uncontrollably.
"You are full of talent, are you willing to die young instead of making a difference?" This was Liu Zhang's last effort.
Zhou Buji burst into laughter and said with a laugh: "I had already calculated that I would not live to be twenty years old, and I was destined to die young. I don't want to become a successful person, and I don't want to leave a name in history. What does it matter if I live long or short?
?If you want to kill me, you can do it now."
Liu Zhang held the hilt of the sword tightly. Zhou Buyi's smile already showed that there was no way that this child prodigy could be used by him. And such a talent fell into the hands of any hero, no less than Cao Cao when he got Guo Jia, Sun Ce who got Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei.
To get Zhuge would be a nightmare for Xi Chuan.
But Liu Zhang did not pull out the sword in the end. If such a child prodigy was in his own hands, would he be a sinner of history? Liu Zhang knew that if he wanted to survive in troubled times, he could not be kind to women, but he still could not make a move.
Forget it, history has no doubt that he was unknown last week, and as he said, he was destined to die young. This is also the most common ending for prodigies in ancient and modern times.
Liu Zhang comforted himself and slowly released the hilt of the sword. Zhou Buyu said with a smile: "My lord's murderous aura has dissipated, and I have saved a life. However, this also shows that my lord has a weakness in his character. Heroes in ancient and modern times, how many times do they know how to do it?"
You have to pay a heavy price for your weakness, especially if you are in the position of an adult, and you should not have weaknesses like womanly kindness."
"What situation am I in?" Liu Zhang asked curiously.
Zhou Buji drank all the tea in the cup and called the lotus waiting in the distance. After filling it up, he said slowly: "For the sake of sparing my life, I will tell you about your situation.
When I came to Yizhou, I heard about the massacre of noble families in Jiangzhou, and I thought that the weak Lord of Xichuan had turned into a mindless tyrant. But after I arrived in Xichuan, I found that I was wrong.
Your Excellency is not stupid, and I gave you a comment about me. Your Excellency is too smart. I know that when you massacred the Jiangzhou clan, you had already anticipated the difficulties in the future, and you have been working hard to overcome these difficulties, but I really don’t.
I know how long you can hold on. The enemy you face is more terrifying than the Yuan Shao army that Cao Cao is facing now. If you are not careful, your bones will be shattered."
Zhou Busu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: "As a state pastor who holds the military and political power of a state, making such a huge gamble is completely uncertain. Two words can be said: willful. Your willfulness is similar to that of Jiangdong Sun Ce. Sun Ce
He can be regarded as a wise master, but unfortunately he has a strong temperament and cannot rule Jiangdong where the gentry is deeply entangled.
Although Sun Ce is proud to have unified Jiangdong now, and the Sun family comes from a clan in Jiangdong, I predict that Jiangdong will collapse within a year. Although your Excellency is more intelligent than Sun Ce, the end will be similar. If you don’t abolish the four civil service examinations, officials and land
Order, within two years, there will be a catastrophic disaster, which cannot be avoided."
Fazheng looked at Zhou Buyi in surprise. He also claimed to be a talented person, but now he realized that no child could see it thoroughly. Now think about it, how could Sun Bofu coordinate with the Jiangdong family with his character?
Complex interest relationships that cannot be coordinated will anger the family, and angering the family will cause resistance from the family. It is conceivable that if a person like Sun Ce encounters resistance from the family, he will definitely kill them, and the result can be imagined.
Liu Zhang thought about Zhou Buyi's words. From a historical perspective, Zhou Buyi's prediction was wrong. Sun Ce was assassinated. Later, the scheming Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong and made Jiangdong strong. It seems that no one would know that if Sun Ce
What will happen if you continue to lead Jiangdong?
However, history cannot support Zhou Buji's words, but it is not contradictory. Sun Quan is different from his brother's staunchness and is much more tolerant. This is also the type of Zhou Buji who thinks he can lead Jiangdong.
And Liu Zhang now thinks about it, why did Sun Ce lead a large army to hunt, and those few Xu Gong's dead men happened to appear at the hunting ground? Can we rule out the possibility that the Jiangdong family headed by Zhang Zhao did this intentionally?
Before that, Sun Ce wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to steal Xuchang. Throughout the ages, the Jiangdong clan loved "peace" the most and hated the Northern Expedition the most. If Jiangdong could defeat them, they would support it. If faced with a powerful force,
It has almost become a habit for them to surrender to their enemies. If Sun Ce wants to cross the river, the Jiangdong clan will certainly not agree.
Zhou Buji's prediction is much lower level than Guo Jia's prediction that Sun Ce will die at the hands of assassins, but it has more basis (Guo Jia is a ghost, and ghosts don't need any basis for their predictions).
If Zhou Buji's prediction about Sun Ce is accurate, then his prediction about himself is that there will be a catastrophe within two years. How can he despise it?
Fazheng sipped the tea, not knowing what it tasted. He had never thought that there would be a person with such complete talents as Zhou Buyi. His eloquence could surpass that of the great scholars of the time. He could understand the affairs of the world in detail, understand the past and present, and be aware of people's hearts.
, can also tell fortunes, and regard Zhang Lu and Pang Xi's army of one hundred thousand as ants on a rock. Their talents and strategies may only be matched by Gui Guzi of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
I wonder how Fazheng would feel if he knew that Zhou Buyi was still engaging in deceit, carpentry, and needlework.
He couldn't drink the tea in front of him. Liu Zhang sighed deeply and said: "I already know where my shortcomings are, but I don't intend to give up the efforts I am making. Therefore, I understand that it is impossible for me to get what you have."
Allegiance.
But I’m very curious about what the lord is like in your mind. I believe that a talented person, even if he doesn’t seek high-ranking officials, big salary or a famous name in history, must have the fantasy of an ideal lord.”;
