"Chen Yuanzhen has arrived..."
"Chen Yuanzhen has arrived..."
"Chen Yuanzhen, the third son of the Chen family in Xiapi, comes to see you!"
After dismounting in front of the mansion, Zhang Kun took only Fourth Sister Hua to the Xiapi mansion.
This place has been branded as the governor's office. Xu Du refused to entrust Lu Bu with the post of governor of Xuzhou. Cao Cao must have been afraid that Lu Bu, a tiger, would get the power to govern the herdsmen and the situation would become difficult to govern, so he blocked it and stood firm. There will be no official appointment.
Not only did he refuse to give Lu Bu an official title, he also gave Chen Deng the title of Guangling Prefect as a check.
This approach actually doesn't have much effect, but it is disgusting enough.
At the very least, Lu Bu was disgusted enough. Even if he called himself Xuzhou Mu, it would only be recognized by his own subordinates, but not by the people in the world.
After all, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is still there. Although everyone knows that the Emperor is already under the control of others, in name the world is still the Han Dynasty. What do ordinary people know? He didn't even have enough to eat, so he didn't know the twists and turns in the court. Therefore, at this time, Cao Cao was still very useful in controlling the emperor to appoint officials.
His slogan was "Serve the emperor to command the emperor, but not the ministers", but the actual strategy he implemented was "holding the emperor to command the princes". Even if all the princes in the world knew that this guy had evil intentions, there was nothing they could do.
Dayi was caught in his hands and he used it so vividly that it felt like he had swallowed seven or eight flies, but he still couldn't say anything.
All I can say is that this move is extremely powerful.
Even a rebellious madman like Lu Bu had to show weakness and did not dare to compete openly.
Xuzhou Governor's Mansion occupies a vast area and is heavily ambush. As Zhang Kun walked along the way and passed through three gates, he felt that there were many armored soldiers ambushing around him, at least thousands of them.
Everyone has weapons in hand and bows and arrows on strings.
Three greetings shook the whole house.
"What are you doing? Do you want to give us a blow?"
Fourth Sister Hua's color suddenly changed, she already held the two swords in her hands, her eyebrows were raised, her blood was surging, she was already on guard.
"Don't be impatient, Sister Hua."
Zhang Kun calmly waited for the chariot and shook his head: "This kind of battle is too petty. I heard that Marquis Wen is powerful and has the image of a master, so that he can win the hearts of all the generals and become a prince. But he didn't expect that I was the only one who saw him. , to be so fearful, and to have to be protected by thousands of soldiers to feel at ease, it can be seen from this that false reputation can mislead people, and this is what it is..."
Zhang Kun's voice was clear and his expression was gentle. There was no anger or murderous intent in his tone, but the meaning behind his words was extremely contemptuous.
Lu Bu clearly wanted to use military force to suppress others, but he said that he was afraid of himself, so he needed a large army on his side to embolden him.
That's right.
Fourth Sister Hua couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I thought that my family had watched the young master grow up, but they didn't know that he also had a sharp mouth and a clever tongue.
However, after Zhang Kun said this, the tense atmosphere could not help but stagnate slightly, and the murderous intention became weaker. Apparently, the armored soldiers who were ambushing nearby did not know what to do.
"Squeak..."
The door was open, and a banquet was placed in the main hall. At this time, the wine bottles were full, the dishes were fragrant, and the number of the host's guests was not large, only seven or eight people.
A middle-aged man with a slender face, several long strands of beard, and an elegant and elegant style came forward and said with a smile: "The Chen family has inherited the classics, Mr. Han Yu, even if he is evil in his heart, he still insists on seeing Wen Hou." The etiquette is very respectful...not to mention Chen Yuanlong, who regards himself as his nephew and nephew, and does not dare to overstep the mark in his daily behavior, but when he comes to Yuan Zhen's nephew, the family tradition has changed."
Grass.
Are you scolding me in person for not having a tutor?
Or scold me for abandoning the Chen family, neglecting my father and brother, and being unfilial and disloyal...
Who is this old man?
Chen Gong.
That's okay.
Zhang Kun understood that as soon as he appeared, he ruined the plan proposed by the other party to marry Yuan and Lu. The old man was dissatisfied, that was for sure.
At this time, it is inevitable to carry a gun and a stick and speak sarcastically.
He wasn't angry at the moment and said with a smile:
"The Chen family is the Chen family, and I am me. If Mr. Gongtai's ears and eyes were not blocked, he would definitely know why someone stayed in Pipi and refused to leave... Mencius said that if a king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will treat him like his heart; If you treat your ministers like dogs and horses, then I will treat you like a countryman; if you treat your ministers like earth and mustard, then your ministers will regard you like a bandit... The Chen family turned back and sent our brothers to Xiapi, which is no different than sending sheep. It would be a bit ridiculous to talk about kings, kings, ministers, fathers, sons and sons after entering the tiger's mouth."
Zhang Kun glanced at several people in the hall, smiled coldly, and said: "Mr. Gongtai, there is something unknown about someone. Marquis Wen has not passed away yet, why did you speak up first? Could it be that you are respected in the hall, and the rest are all subordinates?" ?”
"you……"
Chen Gong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Zhang Kun's words struck deep in his heart.
He has always boasted that he was from a wealthy noble family and was extremely knowledgeable, so he didn't look down on these treacherous warriors.
Although forced by the situation, he got involved with Lu Bu, and sometimes he would verbally call out "Lord, please respond to the situation", but in his heart, he really didn't take Lu Bu seriously.
What he thought was that this was just a temporary cooperation, and when the time was right, he would jump ship and leave immediately.
For example, Yuan Shu, who was born in the Fourth Generation and Third Gong family, is very good.
This is also a common problem among nobles.
Generally speaking, nobles only looked up to people from the same noble family, and looked down upon people from poor families. Not to mention, for those generals who fought out of the wilderness, they couldn't even look down on each other with a hair on their noses...
With such thoughts, one can imagine what his usual attitude is like.
But unfortunately, the military generals and grassroots people of this era also do this.
From the bottom of his heart, he would think that the nobles were indeed superior to others and had the right to look down on themselves. If something really happens, you will still beg and ask in a low voice, and you will also ask the other person to help you.
Lu Bu is like this.
The same is naturally true for Liu Bei...
Even Cao Cao adopted this posture.
He was very friendly to the Yingchuan nobles and talented people, and treated them like brothers and sisters. They often drank heavily all night long and fell asleep.
Why, just because his family was a eunuch, his reputation was not very good, and he needed to be praised by the nobles.
The only ones who don't have to do this are the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
These two people have very high family backgrounds, and they are the top noble families themselves.
How many scholars from the Fourth Generation and Three Gong clans were students of their family, and when they saw him, they would automatically be lowered by three points. Not to mention flattery and wooing, if they could be taken in and reused, the scholars should be grateful.
Although Zhang Kun didn't know much about this era, he had basically figured out the details these days. When he spoke back, he directly killed Chen Gong's heart and exposed Lu Bu's scars.
You say treat me to a banquet.
But as soon as I arrived, I heard Chen Gongtai chattering here.
Those who know will think that you, Lu Bu, and the generals treat the nobles well.
For those who don't know, they think that Chen Gong is the master of Xiapi and you are all subordinates.
"Gongtai, why don't you step back?"
Chen Gong wanted to say something else, but Lu Bu's face turned red and he couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as this boy from the Chen family came in, he first ridiculed himself for being timid and fearful of getting into trouble, and then he ridiculed himself for being too powerful and unable to manage even his subordinates.
This mouth.
Tsk tsk...
We haven't seen the force yet, but in terms of momentum, the opponent is just one person, but he overwhelms the whole room with civil and military forces, and all three thousand armors have lost their temper.
When did the Chen family give birth to such a unicorn?
Never heard of it before.
"Please take your seats."
Lu Bu didn't say much. He stood up and stretched out his hands to greet the guests. He had a smile on his face, but there was a serious look on his brows.
He watched Zhang Kunshi calmly sit down at the guest of honour's seat, feeling like there was no one around, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
What on earth does this man have the guts to do?
When Emperor Gaozu went to the banquet that day, he did not dare to act so naturally. He was still cautious and kept a low profile at all times. Otherwise, after the Hongmen Banquet, there would be nothing like the Han Dynasty that had happened in the world for hundreds of years.
But this boy didn't take this full hall of generals and three thousand armored soldiers into consideration at all.
Do you really have something to rely on, or are you just missing the mark and unable to see the danger at all?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu was greatly moved.
if.
if……
He slowly picked up the flask, poured a cup of green viscous wine, and said with a smile: "I am a visitor. My nephew is here. I am very honored. Please drink this cup to the full."
Lu Bu's words were too polite and he raised Zhang Kun too high. None of the generals, including Chen Gong, thought there was anything wrong. In fact, since Zhang Kun entered the palace just now, he had taken the lead and his momentum was heart-breaking. Even when facing Lu Bu himself, he was not at a slight disadvantage, but instead faintly overpowered him.
It's just a feeling.
I feel like this is something very strange.
If you say it exists, it exists, if you say it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. In the hearts of the battle-hardened generals, this thing must exist.
Most of those who don't believe their own feelings have already died on the battlefield.
If you can't clearly see the strength and weakness, you can't see the danger, what's the point of not dying?
Lu Bu filled a glass of wine, his robes moved without any wind, and the golden crown on his head hummed softly. He held the wine bottle with both hands, turned his wrists slightly, and suddenly opened his fingers.
Woo...
A violent thunder sound came from the palm of his hand.
The air shook and rippled.
The wine bottle was like an arrow from the string, hitting Zhang Kun in the chest.
Flying in mid-air, it has set off layers of air waves, like overwhelming mountains and seas...
The generals' hearts trembled, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm.
He watched the wine bottle castrate without blinking.
Lu Bu is known as the best military general in the world. He is not a self-proclaimed general. He is recognized by the princes of the world and spread by the soldiers at the bottom.
That day, under Hulao Pass, he fought alone against all the heroes in the world, showing great majesty.
His Overlord Halberd technique caused him to lose his temper. It caused mountains to collapse and seas to crack, and was indestructible. Moreover, it was as delicate as silk, and his skill reached its peak.
Even if you are as arrogant as Guan Yu and brave as Zhang Fei, you have to admit that you cannot defeat him alone.
If we really fight, we still have to join forces.
Otherwise, even if he has been supporting for dozens of rounds, if Lu Bu is accidentally beaten and goes crazy, his life will be in danger.
At this time, Lu Bu was clearly toasting, but in fact he was pouring his energy into the bottle, and his breath was flowing through the wine.
The entire wine bottle was blessed by his blood energy, like a magic weapon, emitting a glistening blood light. Before it could fly, it had already made the surrounding air thin, like a vacuum. Even if you try your best to inhale, you can't even breathe. A hint of air.
Fourth Sister Hua stood behind Zhang Kun, her eyes full of horror, and she didn't even have the strength to draw her sword.
Assailed by the surging and violent energy, everything from spirit to body was seized, and he could only watch helplessly as he crashed into the wine bottle.
[Overlord strength, divine and demonic energy. ]
puff……
The wine bottle was flying and was about to hit Zhang Kun's chest, causing waves in the sky.
The generals held their breath and looked at Zhang Kun, wanting to see how he would respond.
I saw that the wine bottle, like the mountains and rivers rolled up, suddenly stopped in the air, roaring and roaring, and disappeared into nothingness after a jade-white palm stretched out.
Three slender fingers held the wine bottle, and an infinite and wide whirlpool deep hole appeared in the palm of the hand. The tyrannical blood energy disappeared immediately as soon as it touched that palm.
A bottle of wine rested safely in Zhang Kun's palm, as if someone was holding it up in a gentle and respectful manner.
Is there any murderous intention? What power?
"Marquis Wen expresses his love, but this wine is disrespectful. Please."
Zhang Kun raised his head and raised his glass. The green wine fell into his throat like a thread. He felt soft, sweet and mellow. He couldn't help but admire it.
"Good wine."
He let out a long breath of alcohol and sighed contentedly.
"So, if a man is born without five pots of food, he will die with five pots of food. He has fine wines and beauties, and his empire is thousands of miles away. How can he live in depression for a long time? Who doesn't want to enjoy all the glory and get ahead? Just like Marquis Wen, although he is sitting in the city of poverty now, he will not die until his death. At the end of the day, there are such fine wines and delicacies, which are better than countless others in the world, I really envy others."
This is the truth, but it is also extremely harsh.
If he had said this when he first came in, all the generals would have been furious. Now, after he casually accepted Lu Bu's test move, and then said it again, people were speechless.
Without him, its power would be taken away.
A hall full of heroes could not suppress him.
Chen Gong had been ridiculed a lot before, but now he said nothing with a gloomy face and just watched coldly.
He already felt that Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied with him for making his own decisions. At this time, it would be wrong to say too much. There is such a pitfall when you encounter a lord whose mind is changeable and easily provoked to anger.
Lu Bu wanted to draw his halberd and give the order, but he couldn't find the reason. He took action with all his strength, pushing cups and changing cups, hoping to make this arrogant boy from the Chen family make a fool of himself. However, he didn't expect that the other party would not take him seriously at all. In the blink of an eye, he drank the bottle of wine.
Not only does he dissipate his strength invisible, he is not afraid of being poisoned at all. Whether it is strength or courage, it is extremely frustrating. He clearly knows that this is a formidable enemy, but he has no respect for himself when he opens his mouth. However, Lu Bu couldn't even think of any hostile thoughts in his heart.
This feels weird.
There is quite a sense of absurdity in recognizing and valuing heroes.
'There is no more outstanding person I have ever seen in my life than this. '
Lu Bu sighed secretly in his heart.
It was clear that they had set up a "Hongmen Banquet", with murderous intentions everywhere and to use their power to suppress others.
But it just didn’t have the flavor of Hongmen Banquet.
It became like an imperial envoy on inspection, welcoming a superior officer at home.
This is really unreasonable.
