When Cheng Gongying witnessed Han Sui's death with his own eyes, he was desperate for a time.
He even thought that it wouldn't be long before the butcher's knife would come to his head.
But everyone present seemed to have forgotten Cheng Gongying's existence and completely ignored him.
It also happened that Cheng Gongying was able to witness the drama between Liu Zhang and Ma Chao after being ignored.
Unfortunately, a good show is also a show, and it will eventually come to an end.
With Ma Teng restrained and Ma Chao completely surrendered, Cheng Gongying began to become nervous.
Will he die miserably in this wilderness like Han Sui?
As for being valued by Liu Zhang, Cheng Gongying did not dare to expect it, and had no idea of serving Liu Zhang.
Compared to Ma Chao, the words Liangzhou Cheng Gongying are undoubtedly even more unknown!
"Who are you?"
Just when Cheng Gongying was thinking wildly, Liu Zhang's voice finally came.
Liu Zhang had noticed this person for a long time, but with Ma Chao and Han Sui by his side, there was really no reason to pay attention to him.
If this man hadn't always been relatively calm, Liu Zhang would have regarded him as Han Sui's personal guard.
Cheng Gongying was suddenly questioned by Liu Zhang, his mind was still in surprise, and he was at a loss for a moment.
"My lord, he is Han Sui's military advisor, Cheng Gongying."
Ma Chao, who had just joined Liu Zhang, answered Liu Zhang's doubts on his behalf as Cheng Gongying.
At least before breaking with Han Sui, Cheng Gongying often caused trouble for Ma Chao!
"Cheng Gongying, pay your respects to General Wei..."
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Cheng Gongying also woke up from his shock and quickly bowed to Liu Zhang.
It turned out to be him!
Cheng Gongying is not a very famous person. He is best known as Han Sui's confidant.
Historically, after Han Sui was defeated at the Wei River, he suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of Xia Houyuan in Xingguo.
Only during the retreat, the tribesmen fled in all directions, and even the chief general Yan Xing lost traces. Only Cheng Gongying followed him life and death.
Later, Yan Xing decided to kill Han Sui and surrender to Cao Cao. Han Sui was disheartened and wanted to go to Shu to surrender to Liu Bei.
Cheng Gongying tried his best to persuade and encourage Han Sui to regain his power as a prince, and finally relied on the Qiang people to defeat Yan Xing, who betrayed him.
Later, Han Sui died, and Chenggong Yingcai surrendered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had a very high opinion of Cheng Gongying, and he directly made him a military advisor and gave him titles and titles!
There are many other deeds of Cheng Gongying, all of which are praise for him.
What impressed Liu Zhang most was that Cao Cao appreciated his loyalty and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Cheng Gongying is very similar to Pang De. He is completely loyal and will not surrender to others, let alone betray his master for glory.
"I've heard about Mr. Chenggong for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him here!"
Liu Zhang immediately put away the smile on his face and put on a look of respect.
Cheng Gongying was even more horrified because he didn't expect that he would receive such courtesy.
"Don't you dare! How can a defeated general bear such a great gift from General Wei!"
Liu Zhang took two steps forward and helped Cheng Gongying, who was frightened.
"Zhang didn't know that it was Mr. Chenggong who was in front of him, so please don't blame me!"
Cheng Gongying looked panicked, and felt even more ashamed.
Although he claims to be extremely talented, he ultimately achieves nothing!
Cheng Gongying can only be regarded as an unknown little person.
Now that he was defeated and captured, how dare he accept such courtesy from Liu Zhang.
"General Wei, please don't let yourself be betrayed! Never dare to be a hero!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded. Everything was exactly as he expected.
Cheng Gongying is not only outstanding in talent, but also loyal and humble.
"Now that Han Sui is dead and all his forces are wiped out, what are Mr. Chenggong's plans?"
Liu Zhang did not immediately offer to recruit, but talked to Cheng Gongying as a friend.
"Hey! I'm just an incompetent person. From now on, I should live in seclusion in the mountains and forests..."
Cheng Gongying did not say this deliberately to show his noble touch.
Han Sui was his first lord, and he had personally watched Han Sui grow from weak to strong, and then from strong to dead.
Today, he even watched Han Sui die in front of him.
The Liangzhou Army held more than 400,000 troops, but was ultimately defeated by Liu Zhang, which made Cheng Gongying even more frustrated.
Cheng Gongying even had self-doubt in his heart. Is he capable of assisting Mingjun?
"Mr. Chenggong is joking. If you are all incompetent, who else in the world would dare to claim to be talented?"
Liu Zhang spoke highly of Cheng Gongying, which immediately attracted the attention of Pang De and Ma Chao.
Pang De did not work with him, and he only knew Cheng Gongying on a personal level.
Liu Zhang's comments surprised Pang De, who did not expect that Han Sui would be surrounded by a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
After this joint march with Han Sui, Ma Chao had a deeper understanding of Cheng Gongying.
However, Ma Chao did not agree very much. He felt that Liu Zhang's praise was a bit too much.
If Cheng Gongying was really so good, why did it take so many years for Han Sui to be reused?
If Cheng Gongying was really talented, why did Han Sui's army of more than 400,000 people suffer such a complete defeat?
In fact, not only Pang De and Ma Chao thought so, but Cheng Gongying himself felt extremely ashamed.
"I cannot believe that General Wei praised me so much. I am truly convinced that I lost at the hands of General Wei this time!"
"Haha, Mr. Chenggong is so polite! Now that Yongliang is about to be pacified, I still need the help of people like Mr. Chenggong!"
After Liu Zhang flattered him, he revealed his true intention and recruited Cheng Gongying.
Perhaps Cheng Gongying was far inferior to Liu Zhang's top counselors, but his true talents were far beyond ordinary people.
Whether serving as a military advisor, personally leading troops in battle, or governing a party, Cheng Gongying is capable of any task and is definitely an all-round talent.
Even in terms of martial arts, Cheng Gongying was not as powerless as ordinary counselors.
Historical records indicate that when Cheng Gongying was hunting with Cao Cao, he once shot three sika deer with three arrows!
An all-round talent like Cheng Gongying certainly cannot achieve perfection in all aspects.
Therefore, it is very important to make the best use of things and make the best use of people’s talents.
If Cheng Gongying was expected to serve as the mastermind to capture the commander alive and let him lead an army to attack the likes of Cao Cao, then he would definitely return in vain.
If Cheng Gongying is allowed to sit on one side, or guard the border, and quell rebellions in prefectures and counties, Cheng Gongying will definitely be able to complete the task brilliantly.
At present, Liu Zhang was in urgent need of an all-rounder who could not only command troops but also manage prefectures and counties to help him control the border areas of Liangzhou.
This person not only needs to be both civil and military, but also loyal. No temptation can change his loyalty!
Cheng Gongying is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
"Thank you so much for your love, General Wei! It's just that Cheng Gongying is not a virtuous person. My old master Han Sui just died. I really have no interest in political affairs! General Wei, please forgive me!"
Nothing went beyond Liu Zhang's expectations, and Cheng Gongying rejected him very respectfully.
