“Young deer cringe, eating apples from the wild.
I have guests, harp blowing Sheng……"
When Zhang Kun came to this world, it was his first serious appreciation of music banquet.
It can only be said that at this time, the entertainment methods of noble families were extremely elegant.
At least, the Qiao family is very elegant.
It's nothing like Lu Bu's military family who came from the border and performed sword dances and set up battle formations for you to see.
In the Lu family, the only thing that can be related to entertainment is Mrs. Diao Chan’s invitation to play the piano, play chess, and talk about poetry and composition...
However, playing the piano with Diao Chan was not playing the piano. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Kun didn't listen. Without him, Lu Bu watched with open eyes, and there was no atmosphere at all.
Besides, I didn’t dare to create any atmosphere.
And what about at the Qiao family?
Zhang Kun even felt that the master Qiao Gong had invited the best musicians in Anhui City. It was an ordinary book of poems, "Xiaoya Lu Ming", played with silk and bamboo orchestra, and it made people seem to have arrived. On the green grassland, you can see the bright sun shining high, the gentle breeze blowing warmly, and you feel relaxed and happy, with the fragrance of flowers hitting your nostrils.
Of course, it’s not just the fragrance of flowers, but also the fragrance of “flowers”.
Da Qiao is dignified and soft, while Xiao Qiao is bright and cheerful.
The two of them stood around and toasted.
One person sings with his voice, and the other dances gracefully. It makes people wish they had a few more ears and a few more eyes...
"good."
After the song ended, Zhang Kun held up his hands and laughed.
"No wonder that after Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin came to Wancheng, they came to Qiaogong's house to ask for the marriage of these two young ladies during their busy schedule. They turned out to be immortals. I feel pity for them. "
Upon hearing this, both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were overjoyed and came forward to greet him shyly.
Da Qiao was more prudent, and after bowing lightly, he said thanks: "Thank you for your protection. If you hadn't come personally, my family would really not know how to get on with ourselves."
Xiao Qiao was lively, and she secretly glanced at Zhang Kun. Seeing his handsome appearance, impressive bearing, and gleaming light in his eyes, she felt a little awe-struck for a moment, and she didn't dare to take another look.
"Miss, you are serious. You and I only made a verbal agreement. We haven't submitted a written request for a date yet, and it doesn't count as a document for the Sun and Zhou families. I can only say that some people are too impatient. Please wait and see if you can disturb me."
Qiao Gong hurriedly answered: "I really admire you for your magnanimous mind. I heard that Anhui City is in chaos now and there is a shortage of manpower. I have the nerve to recommend myself to serve as a good example."
"If Mr. Qiao takes action, Wancheng will have no worries."
Zhang Kun pulled Qiao Gong, raised his head and laughed.
Yes, this old man is still very considerate.
Who was he? He was originally an official in the imperial court. Because he was dissatisfied with the emperor being ruled by Cao Cao, he resigned and went into seclusion and came to live in the eastern suburbs of Wancheng, his hometown.
All I can say is that nowhere is a paradise.
After arriving in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came to visit them again.
With these two young men coming to his door with murderous intent, he couldn't get married even if he didn't want to.
I specially came to the door and asked Zhang Kun to come.
Actually it's not for any other reason.
Thank you very much.
On that day, Zhang Kun asked Guan Yu to check how many Taiping believers there were in Wancheng and who should be punished or beaten. The Qiao family was reported and implicated.
There are even some merchants and wealthy families sharpening their knives, preparing to carve up and suppress the Qiao family. The reason is very simple. It is not because they have an affair with the demon Yu Ji, but because they have a relationship with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
When Sun Ce was not alive, he still refused to surrender after being captured, and he died a worthy death.
The Zhou Yu brothers had a deep love for each other, but they also refused to surrender, and both of them were killed by the sword...
They are willing to be tough and don't value their own lives, but this not only affects their family, but also affects the Qiao family who verbally promised to get married.
After hearing about this incident, Zhang Kun only said one sentence, "It has nothing to do with his family, so it must not be too widely implicated."
In his opinion, it was just a kind of cherishment for historical celebrities, and he gave a casual instruction.
What has changed is the fate of the family.
Only then did the scene where Duke Qiao invited Zhang Kun to come over for a banquet.
In order to make him enjoy the meal, Mr. Qiao even called his two charming daughters to accompany him, and his intention was obvious.
Obviously, this old man resigned from his job and went into seclusion to escape from death.
I finally understand that in these troubled times, if I have no power and no one above me, I am just a piece of dough that can be kneaded at will.
It is rare to meet a prince who shows kindness to him, and he is still a powerful person who is expected to dominate the world. How can he not firmly grasp this life-saving straw?
Therefore, Qi Qi said that this was a family dinner, but in fact, it was a blind date.
From the looks of things, both parties were satisfied.
As for two women serving one husband together, will it cause gossip?
In the past, Mr. Qiao would naturally have refused, but now, his mind has long changed, and he feels that it is very good. At least the sisters will not be separated, and they will be taken care of to some extent.
Compared to the finalization of the marriage between the two sisters, Duke Qiao's self-recommendation as the magistrate of Wancheng was the icing on the cake.
Having served as a court official for many years, he is very familiar with political affairs. After the old man took office, Wancheng was naturally fine.
"Dongfeng doesn't want to be with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply..."
"Mr. Cao's wife, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Zhang Kun left the Qiao Mansion and got on the carriage under the reluctant eyes of everyone in the Qiao family. He murmured a few words and chuckled.
Everyone meandered away.
Next, everything was peaceful in Jiangdong, and Zhang Zhao and his party were progressing very smoothly. However, after a month and a half, all the Wu soldiers surrendered without a single blow.
From then on, all the forces under Sun Ce were taken over by Zhang Kun. It was considered a peaceful handover and spared the people the suffering of war and chaos. From this aspect, it was also Zhang Kun's wish.
…
In the autumn of the fourth year of Jian'an, Wu had a good harvest, and the Xuzhou military camp also achieved great results.
Moreover, 150,000 soldiers were mobilized from the two states and counties, and the total force under his command reached 250,000 infantry and cavalry.
Zhang Kun moved to the Shouchun Imperial Palace, and Xian Ju, the minister of civil and military affairs, asked for the title of King of Wu.
After three requests and three concessions, Zhang Kun held the throne high and accepted the worship of the ministers...
At the court meeting, Zhang Zhao drafted a proclamation, raised the banner of "Qing the emperor's side, and punished the unruly ministers" again, and vowed to march north.
From then on, the world was shaken and the princes were furious.
Especially Cao Cao.
I heard that he couldn't sleep all night long, and he even slashed two maids who were sleeping with him with his sword.
No wonder Cao Cao was so angry.
Because he had just killed Zhang Yang in Hanoi and faced Yuan Shao in Hebei across the river, a war between the two sides was imminent.
Nanyang Zhangxiu, also under the attack of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, could no longer hold on and finally surrendered.
While their power was greatly increased and they were satisfied with their ambitions, they heard the news that troops from the south were raising troops to march north. This was tantamount to a blow to the head.
The situation suddenly became dangerous.
There is Yuan Shao in front and Zhang Kun in the back. No matter which side is easy to deal with, they can only defend and be ready to mobilize the army at any time.
"Order Lu Bu and Gao Shun to immediately send troops to attack Yanzhou... with Lingqi as the main general once fighting breaks out in the north."
Zhang Kun thought for a while and added, "Let them listen carefully. If we win this battle completely, we will have a chance to become a marquis. If we screw up, don't even think about leading troops and going into battle to kill the enemy."
The latter sentence was actually meant for Lu Bu.
This is indeed a great general of the time, and he is unstoppable in battle.
However, my brain is a little stupid.
In particular, he and Gao Shun were in the same army. In the past, Lu Bu was the leader and Gao Shun was his subordinate. Now if the situation is reversed, Lu Bu would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Lu Lingqi was the main general to hold him hostage.
No matter what, facing a strong daughter, the old man must give up three points.
In this way, like a fierce horse, being tied up with the reins, no matter how strong-tempered he is, he has to bow his head and obey orders.
"This is a brilliant idea."
When Guo Fengxiao heard the order, he couldn't help but smile.
After undergoing many acupuncture treatments, the military advisor's body recovered very quickly and began to become stronger.
Especially after he took time to practice the twelve animal forms handed down by Zhang Kun every day, he could eat three bowls of rice per meal, and his energy was so high that he no longer looked as sick as before.
"My lord, Liu Xuande led 30,000 troops to attack Runan and directly hit Jingzhou. Will it be unnecessary? It would be too much to drag Liu Biao into the battle."
Zhang Zhao expressed doubts.
At the beginning of the year, he took Taishi Ziyi as an envoy to various counties in Jiangdong. With his sharp tongue, he directly persuaded Wu to submit. This was indeed a great achievement. Therefore, he received the post of internal minister.
When it comes to handling government affairs and managing prefectures and counties, Zhang Zibu is strict and meticulous, and is really Zhang Kun's right-hand man.
During these days, Zhang Kun was able to comfortably go on outings with Mei. He spent the whole day practicing or playing without any trouble. At least half of the credit was due to him.
However, Zhang Zhao is not without any flaws.
Although this person is a great talent, he still tends to be a little more cautious in doing things. He is more than conservative in his achievements and not enough in pioneering.
Because he never takes risks.
Just like Liu Biao's base in Jingzhou, in Zhang Zhao's view, since the other party has not shown any hostility, it is best not to engage in war with him, and to maintain the situation of keeping the well and not the river at bay.
The confrontation with Cao Cao is imminent, so be sure not to make enemies on both sides.
However, Guo Fengxiao had a different idea: "Zi Bu's words are wrong. As time goes by, Liu Jingzhou's thoughts will also change at any time. Everyone knows that this person has no great ambitions and is just a dog guarding the house. However, few people You know, he is actually suspicious and changeable, and he will do things that he never thought of at any time, just like when he killed Sun Jian, when his brain got hot, he sent troops to intercept the attack."
"Zibu may think that since Liu Biao is suspicious and fickle and has been unable to leave, why should he worry about him sending troops to attack Yangzhou. In fact, he is underestimating the talent of this eight-man army. If our army gains the upper hand when advancing north, he will If he is worried about his own safety, he will definitely be persuaded by Cao Cao to send troops to contain him. However, if Liu Bei is sent to attack first, he will be suspicious and wonder whether we are openly attacking Cao Cao and actually occupying Jingzhou, but he will not dare to send troops. If you are strong, you will be timid; if you are weak, you will be violent.”
Guo Jia may not be considered the best in the world when it comes to commanding large armies in battle, but his ability to observe people and events and make plans is something few can match.
Since he said this, Zhang Kun certainly believed it.
So, Liu Bei was sent, assisted by Guan Yu, to take Runan and attack Jingxiang.
And he himself led an army of 200,000 troops into Yuzhou...
In January and so on, they attacked thirteen cities in a row, and their troops went straight to the southern sun.
Zhang Xiu was exhausted from the battle, otherwise he would not have surrendered to a boss whose son was killed by him.
It must have lost much fighting power.
Zhang Kun thought to himself that it would not be too difficult to win Nanyang.
After occupying this strategic location, they can directly attack Xudu from the north, and attack Jingzhou with Liu Bei's army from the south... At this time, no matter how thoughtful Liu Biao is, he does not dare to act rashly, so he can deal with Cao Cao with all his strength.
Things were just as Zhang Kun expected.
After Liu Biao fought several battles with Liu Bei, he stayed in Jingzhou and sent out a large army to defend it. He watched helplessly as Zhang Kun directly attacked Nanyang. After surrendering Zhang Xiu, he went all the way north and attacked Yingchuan.
So far.
Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies from both sides, so he had no choice but to make a desperate move. No longer caring about what was behind him, he fought Yuan Shao in Guandu, a life-or-death battle.
…
"Ahead is Xudu."
Two hundred thousand troops swept across Yuzhou. Zhang Kun led his generals to the city.
After setting up camp, they took Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others to observe the situation.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Yun actually ran to Shouchun alone and defected to Liu Bei.
Zhang Kun discovered this person as soon as he arrived.
How could he leave this tiger general to Liu Xuande?
The guy who knitted straw sandals was born with ambition.
If you don't give him a chance, nothing will happen.
Once given the opportunity, his decision-making will be shocking.
At the beginning, when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were around, he took refuge in one and the other, but he never returned.
I always think that one day, I will lay down the ground, lay down the foundation, and start something of my own business.
He is a natural boss personality.
Therefore, in Zhang Kun's view, this person cannot be used. It would be a pity not to use him.
It cannot be reused too much.
If he is overused, his troops will be strong and his wings will be full, and he will definitely fly away as soon as possible.
At that time, not only will he lose a great help, but he will also create a great enemy in vain.
If you want to win it again, you have to spend an unknown amount of effort.
A person like Zhao Yun, who is both civil and military, can help Liu Bei solve many problems quietly and increase his ambitions.
Of course Zhang Kun couldn't just watch like this.
Therefore, he was appointed as the captain of the personal soldiers by his side, leading two thousand dragon riders under his command, and he was regarded as a capable subordinate.
As for Hu Chi, he has been promoted to general in the army and no longer serves as a personal guard.
Xu Chu now leads an infantry unit alone, and he fights with all his might. Although his soldiers and horses are not as good as Gao Shun's Zhen camp, with this tiger general at their command, their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.
The city was well-organized, heavily guarded, and densely packed with soldiers forming a formation. The military atmosphere enveloped the whole city, making it look like it was indestructible.
"Since the death of Dong Cheng, there has been no news about the Emperor. Cao Mengde has become a puppet in the small court of Xudu. Rather than saying that the Emperor is in power, it is better to say that he has completely become a puppet."
Guo Jia controls the intelligence affairs of Prince Wu's Mansion. After one year of operation, he has spies all over the world, and he is not unfamiliar with the situation in Xudu City.
At this time, talking about them one by one is like watching a fire.
"The only thing I feel strange is, why was Cao Cao so relieved to fight Yuan Shao in Dahe without worrying about a fire in the backyard? He became successful because he welcomed the emperor into Xu. If he loses the emperor and loses his righteousness, how can he Can he deal with the enemies in the world? Or is he confident that we will not be able to break through Xudu in a short period of time, and we will not be able to enter the palace."
Zhang Kun looked at Xu Du and felt a faint sense of oppression in his heart.
It's not some strange thing like the emperor's dragon energy, but a warning from the top warrior's energy, blood and soul.
It was as if the sky was rejecting him.
"Chen Zizhen is indeed extraordinary. Have you discovered the old way even though you are still far away? Go away, I won't embarrass you. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to Xudu, and it will not be beautiful at that time."
As soon as Zhang Kun thought of the warning, an elk jumped out from the side of the hillside, rolled in the wind, and transformed into a barefoot Taoist priest wearing ge robes.
This Taoist priest is free from dust, standing empty-handed, and his body is full of Taoist bones and profound meaning.
The most peculiar thing is that one of his eyes is deep and unpredictable, and the other eye is silvery white and turbid. He is obviously half-blind, but when he looks over, it gives people the feeling that he can see through his own internal organs.
"Zuo Ci?"
Upon seeing this form, several people around Zhang Kun said at the same time.
Rumor has it that Immortal Zuo Ci is blind in one eye, is good at the art of transformation, and has unpredictable magical powers. Even the princes of the world respect him and do not dare to despise him.
Because this person really dared to attack the princes, and he had some strange relationship with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Kun originally thought that this person would not be an obstacle to him, but he did not expect that when he just arrived in Xudu, the other party Came to the door.
Whether it's a warning or a declaration of war, it doesn't have much good intentions anyway.
"I just don't understand why someone like Taoist Master is trying his best to help Cao Mengde? Could it be that he promised something that I can't afford to give."
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Zhang Kun felt that this person seemed to be much stronger than Yu Jilai.
Just by the presence of his silently changing animals, he can make himself feel a heavy sense of threat, which is not a fuel-saving lamp.
"That's not the case, it's just that you can't attack the emperor in the presence of rebellious ministers and traitors. I made an agreement back then and I had to keep it."
"Cao Cao can do it, but I can't. Don't you think it's ridiculous, Taoist Master?"
"It's different. Cao Cao is just an evil dragon. He can't swallow this boundless luck and transform into a dragon body. But you, King Wu, are just a young dragon with the ambition to swallow the sky..."
Zuo Ci sighed.
"If you are allowed to enter the city, the Han Dynasty will be completely destroyed."
Zuo Ci's two eyes, one silver and one black, emitted light at the same time. It seemed that the sun was no longer in front of him, but that he had entered a deep dark night...
There is a howling cold wind, chilling the body and mind.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Zhao Yun drove his horse and ran down the hillside, a long bow appeared in his hand...
Three sharp arrows, already in the shape of a pin, were shot towards Zuo Ci.
As soon as the opponent's energy moved, he took action.
The response was much faster than when Xu Chu was a personal guard.
"Why don't you listen to the advice?"
Zuo Ci chuckled, stretched out his hand, and the three sharp arrows, while still in the air, turned into three white sparrows, landed on his hand, and fluttered and jumped.
He took a deep look at Zhang Kun, and his figure suddenly turned into blue smoke and disappeared.
The little bird cooed a few times, fell to the ground, and turned into three neatly arranged feather arrows again...
Zhao Yun had the spear in his hand, but before he had time to attack, his opponent had already disappeared before his eyes. Looking back, his eyes were full of caution.
"Is this...an illusion?"
Guo Jia took a long breath, thinking that he was in big trouble.
…
I wonder if you have noticed that some authors write a chapter and it becomes a chapter?
That's because we need to guarantee an even order.
Why insure? Everyone just understands it as company performance...
The same is true here at Xiaoyu, where orders are sold every day, more and more people leave, and performance plummets.
Maybe it’s because my level of writing is too poor. If I write too much, my writing will be watery and not good-looking...
So, let’s update 4,000 words every day. This will give you more time to think, reduce the number of words, and stabilize your order first.
