From the time he came out of the palace to the Hou General's Mansion, Liu Zhang didn't understand Liu Hong's abnormality today.
It's so weird, as if Liu Hong just wanted to get the news from himself that Zhang Wen would be defeated!
Liu Zhang had no objection to Liu Hong's statement that the merits and demerits were equal, and he did not want to be promoted for the time being.
How old is he? How many more official positions are there for him to be promoted to?
Liu Zhang knew that anything beautiful in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.
Liu Zhang was already very satisfied with the post of general, and even liked the title very much.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Liu Zhang thought that there was something wrong with Liu Hong, but he just couldn't figure out what the problem was!
"Lord!"
If it weren't for the shouts of the guards at the door, Liu Zhang would have arrived at the door of the Hou General's Mansion without even paying attention.
"Are Jia Changshi and Lord Xun Bo in the house?"
"My Lord, Jia Changshi and Xun Lord Bo are both in the mansion."
Liu Zhang nodded, it would be easier if the two of them were here, and the questions in his heart would definitely be answered.
"What about the principal and Sun Zhi?"
The soldier bowed his hand to Liu Zhang again.
"For the record, my lord, the principal of the country and Sun Changzhang have always lived in the mansion, and they rarely leave."
Liu Zhang was very pleased. These two people must not have wanted to cause trouble, so they did not walk around Luoyang City at will.
Giving the soldier an encouraging look, Liu Zhang walked directly into the house. He even resisted the urge to go find Cai Yan!
The questions in my heart cannot be answered, and I really have no interest in doing anything!
When Liu Zhang found Jia Xu and Xunyou, he found that Guoyuan and Sun Qian were also here.
Liu Zhang also admired these two military advisors very much. He marched hundreds of miles back to Luoyang and started working directly without taking a moment to rest.
"Four gentlemen, Liu Zhang didn't bother you, did you?"
The four people stood up quickly and saluted Liu Zhang one after another.
"Greetings, my lord."
Liu Zhang also returned the gifts one by one, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Guoyuan and Sun Qian.
"Thank you both very much these days!"
Guoyuan, Sun Qian and others were flattered and quickly thanked Liu Zhang.
"This is what I should do!"
Guoyuan seemed to see Liu Zhang's thoughts and said goodbye directly.
"We have almost finished talking about this matter, so the two of us will take our leave first."
Liu Zhang didn't expect Guo Yuan to be so sharp, so he stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Everyone, sit down and discuss it together."
Guoyuan and Sun Qian looked at each other and then sat down.
Liu Zhang sat in the main seat, looking at his think tank, and felt relieved.
With such a luxurious lineup, I am definitely the only one now!
Although he is not as good as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in the future, he will definitely have more and more talented people under his command in the future!
"Everyone, His Majesty summoned me today. His words and behavior were very strange. I am extremely confused and I can only ask you to explain it to me!"
All four people pricked up their ears and were very curious about what Liu Zhang said.
"After I went to the palace today..."
Liu Zhang told everything from the time he entered the palace to the time he walked out of the palace. The process was very detailed. Liu Zhang was afraid that he would miss some details, so he kept adding and repeating them.
What was originally a simple narration ended up being told by Liu Zhang for nearly half an hour.
After the four people listened, two fell into deep thought, one was expressionless, and the other was more relaxed.
Liu Zhang was not in a hurry. Looking at the reactions of these four people, he knew that he might be able to solve his doubts today.
"My lord, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I can't share my worries for my lord."
Sun Qian answered Liu Zhang first, saying very sincerely that he could not understand.
Liu Zhang showed no dissatisfaction and nodded with a smile.
Liu Zhang thought it was normal for Sun Qian to be confused. After all, Sun Qian's IQ was there!
If Zhuge Liang's IQ is 100, Sun Qian's IQ is at most 70, not less than 80.
But if Sun Qian could understand everything, wouldn't he become mentally retarded?
After a while, Guoyuan also apologized to Liu Zhang.
"My lord, I haven't thought it through, and I have failed my lord's expectations."
"It's okay, you two don't have to blame yourself! If you specialize in the arts, how can you be proficient in everything?"
Guoyuan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to speak so artistically!
"My lord, your literary talents are still as good as before! It's wonderful to have a specialization in this art! It's wonderful!"
Liu Zhang coughed twice, and he swore that he was just saying it smoothly and had no intention of showing off!
"Ahem..."
"Does this sentence have a preface and a later context? I always feel that it is incomplete."
Liu Zhang secretly sighed, yes, of course there is! And it's so long that I can't even remember it.
"Zini, there are indeed a few words in this sentence. Confucius said: When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in skills, that's all. "
Not only Guoyuan, but also the other three people showed admiration.
"I didn't expect my lord to have such foresight! I admire you! I admire you!"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything else and accepted it humbly. Now I am not as shy as before, and I am no longer embarrassed.
"Gongda, Wenhe, you two must have seen clearly behind these things, so don't be humble! Tell us quickly, I believe Zini Gongyou also wants to know the reasons behind it."
Liu Zhang quickly looked at Jia Xu and Xun You and dropped the topic. Although you can keep your face from blushing and your heart from beating, you can't always accept others' admiration shamelessly!
Xun You first looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu gave him a look, indicating that he should be given priority.
"My lord, I think your majesty balanced my lord's military exploits with the crime of beating Zhang Wen in order to protect my lord. This time, my lord was definitely the first to annihilate the 80,000 Xiliang rebels! But my lord was already in the official position before he was even worthy of being crowned weak. How can he be promoted to the high position of General of the Back? Should he be promoted to General of Guard? General of Cavalry? It’s so unrealistic! Huo Qubing was only promoted to General of Cavalry at the age of nineteen!"
"As for why Your Majesty doesn't care whether Zhang Wen wins or not, and even ignores the life and death of 70,000 soldiers, I don't quite understand. But I always feel that His Majesty is protecting the lord. Maybe he intentionally abandons Zhang Wen. After all, the lord has said When the Xiliang army cannot invade within a year or two, His Majesty will have obvious changes!"
Liu Zhang nodded helplessly, but he didn't expect Xun You to say a lot of nonsense!
Liu Zhang understood what Xun You said, but he didn't expect that Xun You couldn't understand what Liu Zhang couldn't understand!
Tsk tsk! The fact that I and Xun You have the same knowledge doesn't mean that they have the same IQ!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel secretly happy. If Zhuge Liang counted 100, then Xun You would have scored at least 95!
"Wen He, it has to be you! Just tell me quickly, I know you will see clearly!"
Liu Zhang cast his gaze on Jia Xu, his eyes full of expectation and deep trust.
"Haha, thanks to my lord's trust, it would be useless if Jia Xu didn't know!"
This old fox!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Wen He, please explain to me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well today!"
"Master, actually you can all figure it out, but you just didn't see one thing clearly."
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Jia Xu's enlightenment.
"Think about Zhang Wen's identity and what kind of character he is!"
