Chapter 203 Zhang Miao cut off his love
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Although he and Cao Cao had already divided the sphere of influence in Yuzhou before, if Cao Cao regrets and cheats, there is nothing he can do.
“That’s why I want to use heavy gifts to persuade Cao Yanzhou to let Zhang Chao go. In this way, as long as Cao Yanzhou agrees, it will be a disguised reaffirmation of the covenant between Yan and Xu.”
There was an element of uncertainty in Liu Feng's first words: "I just hope that Cao Yanzhou can be calm enough. If Xu Yan fights at this time, the only ones who will be cheaper will be Yuan Shao and Sun Ce."
Liu Feng did not Tell Liu Bei that instead of worrying about Yuan Shao, it is better to worry about Cao Cao. Compared with Yuan Shao who was trapped by Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, who was now liberated from the internal strife in Yanzhou, was the most troublesome opponent.
In this regard, Liu Feng can only hope that Cao Cao can rationally expand to the west, and other things can only be left until a real conflict occurs.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei said: "Good, if that's the case, then I will personally declare Lu Bu to be the governor of Donglai."
Liu Feng nodded in agreement, and suddenly remembered something, He added: "Donglai County cannot be given to him entirely. It is best to separate the lower half, establish a new county, and let Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao serve as prefects to completely isolate Lu Fengxian from our Langya. We can even simply Divide it into three parts and let Chen Gong take charge of a county."
"Zhang Mengzhuo still has some bottom lines. The most important thing is that this person is just a housekeeper and has no ambition, so let Chen Gong take charge of it alone. The commander's words can also divide Lu Bu's supporters."
Liu Bei just thought for a moment and nodded immediately: "Good, let's do it this way."
"In that case, why don't I go visit Zhang Mengzhuo in the afternoon."
Liu Feng said with a smile: "We have put so much effort into him, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask him for someone, right?"
Gao Shun is still the captain under Zhang Miao at this moment. Historically, it was Zhang Miao who went to Yuan Shu for help, but was killed by his own soldiers on the way. Gao Shun has since been completely subordinated to Lu Bu.
Chen Gong later incited Hao Meng to rebel and forced Lu Bu to escape from the toilet. In the end, Gao Shun sent troops to help him put down the rebellion.
As a result, as soon as the rebellion was put down, Lu Bu forgave Chen Gong and then took away Gao Shun's military power.
Liu Feng is very greedy. Even if he can't get the trapped camp, if he gets Gao Shun, is he still worried that he won't be able to train a new trapped camp in the future?
Liu Feng was confident enough that Zhang Miao would not reject him, but it was better to get things done as soon as possible, as the night would be long and he would have too many dreams.
After the discussion was completed, Liu Feng took the initiative to go to the Guest House to meet Zhang Miao.
Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai naturally wanted to guard him. When Gan Ning saw him, he naturally refused to leave. Tai Shici was the only one left. He had no choice but to act as a bodyguard for his disciple.
So the group went to the Guest House.
Zhang Miao had just gotten up at this time. He drank too much yesterday because he was sad and depressed. As a result, he drank too much and stayed drunk until noon.
After washing up, while drinking sobering soup, he suddenly heard that Liu Feng asked for a meeting, and he was shocked that his drunkenness was gone again.
"Please come quickly! No..."
Zhang Miao lifted the blanket and went to the ground to put on his shoes: "I will personally welcome you."
Zhang Miao just walked up to At the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Feng was seen walking over.
Seeing Zhang Miao from a distance, Liu Feng stopped, bent down and saluted: "Young man Liu Feng, please pay homage to Prefect Zhang."
Zhang Miao still has the title of Prefect Chenliu on his body, just like Liu Bei The plain phase does not end with him losing the plain.
"Why should a good nephew be so polite?"
Zhang Miao smiled brightly and stepped forward to help Liu Feng up: "Do you have any words for good nephew?"
"Father Meng "Given the word Zisheng"
"Good, good!"
Zhang Miao praised: "To rise, to steam and rise upward." The Book of Songs says: Like the moon, it is constant, and it is like the sun rising. Good words, good words."< br>
Liu Feng replied humbly: "Uncle, you are so complimentary."
Hearing Liu Feng's answer, Zhang Miao felt happy. After the two were polite, they entered the living room. middle.
Zhang Miao sought help from Xuzhou, and he also had a good impression of Liu Feng, who was young, intelligent and polite. It's a pity that Zhang Miao didn't know that Liu Feng's existence had saved his life. He had been killed by soldiers on the way to Shouchun.
"Uncle, my nephew is here on my father's orders to see if my uncle needs anything. If you are not comfortable living here, I can find another place for you."
Liu Feng started the topic, He said he was concerned about his accommodation, but he was actually hinting whether Zhang Miao had any requirements.
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.
He thought for a moment and felt that this was very good.
If you ask Liu Bei directly for help and your request is indeed very difficult, then it is indeed a better choice to pass it through Liu Feng in the middle so that both sides have room.
"Hey, my nephew doesn't know something."
Zhang Miao sighed. This was not just a pretense, he was really worried: "My brother is the leader of the clan family and is trapped in Yongqiu City. There is a shortage of troops inside and no reinforcements outside. Miao is always worried and frightened. He begs Liu Shijun to send troops to help Yongqiu. Miao is willing to do his best to repay Zhang Miao! Instead, he looked directly at the other person and said, "Uncle, if our state sends troops to Yongqiu, does uncle know the consequences?"
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with pain on his face.
What else could happen? It would naturally trigger the Yanxu War.
Liu Feng continued: "Uncle, once a war breaks out between Yan and Xu, and Yuan Benchu from Hebei goes south with thunderous force, how will you save your family?"
Although Zhang Miao was in pain, he also acknowledged Liu Feng's What you said is good.
Zhang Miao and Cao Cao were brothers. They did not betray Cao Cao for profit, but because they were worried that Cao Cao would follow Yuan Shao's order and kill him.
So in the final analysis, he is a guard dog and does not have much ambition.
Such a person is both sad and ridiculous.
In troubled times, Yanzhou, which is the center of the world, still thinks of enclosing territory for itself. How stupid and ridiculous this is.
But if this matter can be handled satisfactorily, Liu Feng will really find a place for Zhang Miao and his family to enclose their territory.
Zhang Miao thought Liu Bei wanted to persuade him to give up Zhang Chao and his family and live in an ignoble way.
Zhang Miao wanted to reprimand the other party, but he was worried that he would crush this last hope with his own hands. He could only endure the pain in his heart and asked for advice: "What my nephew said is true. I don't know how my nephew can teach me." ?"
Liu Feng replied: "In my nephew's opinion, it may be possible to negotiate."
"Negotiation?"
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment. Is this Liu Bei's tactic to delay the war, or has the other party not given up on him?
So, he said cautiously: "My dear nephew, can you tell me in detail?"
Liu Feng happily followed it and laid out his plan.
After listening to this, Zhang Miao felt surprised and happy, but also worried and sad.
"Will Meng... Meng De agree to such a plan?"
Liu Feng couldn't guarantee it, so he could only give a comforting answer: "At least it's a way to solve the problem. It won't work if you try it. There is something wrong.”
“Mengde is indeed short of food, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk and sent his troops to harvest wheat outside the city.”
Zhang Miao sighed, if Lu Bu had listened to Liu Feng's words..., there is such a thin line between victory and defeat.
But there is no use resenting Lu Bu now.
Liu Feng then continued: "Since my uncle agrees, I will ask my father to send an envoy to Juancheng as soon as possible after I return, and ask Cao Yanzhou to be open to you."
Zhang Miao nodded: "That's good work. Xuande."
"Uncle, these are some gifts brought by my nephew. They are nothing more than some frosting sugar and snow salt."
Liu Fengyou gave a gift at the right time: "This frosting can be directly soaked in water and taken. It is sweet and delicious, and it can also cheer up the spirit. As for the snow salt, it is used when cooking. It is delicious and not bitter."
"How to make it."
Zhang Miao wanted to refuse, but Liu Feng respectfully placed the gift box next to Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao sighed: "My good nephew is interested."
He has also tasted Xuzhou frost sugar and snow salt. After all, this is one of the eight famous chefs in the world.
The cook is said to be able to save people with money.
Zhang Miao is also one of the richest people in Yanzhou. Naturally, he has tried things like frost sugar and snow salt, and knows how precious and valuable these two things are.
Seeing that things were progressing well, Liu Feng showed his fangs.
"My nephew has a merciless request, I don't know whether to tell it or not."
Zhang Miao was a little surprised, then secretly happy in his heart, he immediately replied: "What does my nephew want to ask for? But tell me." It doesn't matter."
Liu Feng lowered his head and said shyly: "My nephew has always respected heroes. Yesterday, during the competition, my uncle's high school captain was outstanding and his skills were amazing. I don't know if my uncle is willing. If you cede it, my nephew must be put to good use." "Gao Xiaowei..., you mean Gao Xiaofu?"
Zhang Miao reacted. To be honest, Gao Shun was one of the few men under his command who dared to fight. He was able to train and command troops. He was from a noble family and was a member of the Chen Liuxiang Party. With all the bonuses, he was quite capable of Zhang Miao. Very trustworthy.
Otherwise, Gao Shun would not have become a captain early.
As the governor of Zhang Miao County, it is the limit and an extraordinary thing to report to the captain.
Gao Shun had saved himself some face yesterday, but when Liu Feng opened his mouth, Zhang Miao found it difficult to refuse.
This is the advantage of being young. Liu Bei will definitely not be able to poach people like this openly, but it doesn't matter to Liu Feng.
On the contrary, Zhang Miao found it difficult to refuse.
Zhang Miao hesitated, but Liu Feng was not in a hurry. He just looked at the other party and quietly waited for Zhang Miao's answer.
Looking at Liu Feng who looked eager, Zhang Miao sighed in his heart and made a decision: "Since my nephew appreciates his filial father so much, then I am naturally happy to accomplish this."
"My nephew thanked my uncle!"
Liu Feng immediately stood up and saluted Zhang Miao with a sincere expression and tears of gratitude.
Seeing Liu Feng's sincerity, Zhang Miao felt much better, and simply continued to add: "Leave this matter to me. I will call my filial father over later and explain it to him personally. My nephew can rest assured."
Obviously, Zhang Miao wanted to send Buddha to the West, and he had done well.
Many things, different people say, have different effects.
For him, as the benefactor, to speak to Gao Shun, the effect is obviously much better than that of Liu Feng.
Therefore, Zhang Miao also sold a favor to Liu Feng, and Liu Feng naturally wanted to express his gratitude.
Liu Feng also accepted this sentiment, and Zhang Miao was willing to help, so naturally it would be better than doing it himself.
After chatting with Zhang Miao for a while, he also comforted him a lot. Seeing that Zhang Miao looked bad, Liu Feng comforted him to rest more, and then left Zhang Miao's place.
At this time, there were only two people in the guest house, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao. Chen Gong was invited to the meeting by Xuzhou celebrities to talk about the classics.
Liu Feng politely paid a visit to Lu Bu and received the news that Lu Bu was still hungover.
So, he asked about Zhang Liao's situation again.
After hearing that Zhang Liao was still in the guest house, he came to visit him.
Zhang Liao had already gotten up at this time, washed himself, and was practicing martial arts.
Hearing that Liu Feng came to the door, he was surprised and hurriedly put on his regular clothes and went out to greet him.
“I didn’t know that the young master was coming, but Liao was far away to welcome me. Please forgive me.”
Many people in later generations felt that Zhang Liao had an arrogant personality and poor emotional intelligence. In Hefei, he was with Li Dian and The relationship between Le Jin and Le Jin was so bad that it almost affected the war situation.
But in fact, there is a reason why this relationship is like fire and water, and it is also a reason that cannot be reversed by human power.
The reason for the bad relationship with Le Jin is that the two have overlapping positions. Regardless of their age, qualifications and abilities, they are relatively similar. However, one is a border army warrior and the other is a mainland warrior. Naturally, it is easy to form an opposition.
Despite his short stature, Le Jin looks more like a scribe than a warrior.
But in fact, Le Jin was a madman who climbed first, and his job under Cao Cao was to capture the flag in battle.
Le Jin worked as an official under the same account. He made countless meritorious deeds in every war. In just a few years, he accumulated merits and became a captain. Moreover, his captain number was still trapped.
Chen Tongzhen means trapped in the formation.
Using the trap as a signal shows how satisfied Cao Cao is with Le Jin, and how great Le Jin's record of being the first to get there is.
It happened that after Zhang Liao arrived under Cao Cao, he also did the job of trapping the flag and capturing the flag. He ran for thousands of miles on Bailang Mountain, and it was almost entirely thanks to Zhang Liao's trapping the flag that he saved the entire battle.
At least half of the credit for the Battle of Bailang Mountain belongs to Zhang Liao, and it was because of this battle that he was able to enter the Martial Temple and became one of the only two Martial Temple accomplices in the entire Cao Wei. It can even be said to be unique. only.
Because Deng Ai was too close to the Sima family, if he had not been framed and killed after being abandoned by Sima Zhao, he would definitely have become a minister of the Jin Dynasty.
Although it is reasonable to classify him as Cao Wei, it is unreasonable.
Zhang Liao and Le Jin are both generals who have been involved in the battle. They are obviously in a competitive relationship. In addition, Le Jin has seniority, so it is strange that the relationship can get better.
As for Li Dian, there is even more sworn hatred.
Lü Bu once massacred Li Dian’s clan in Yanzhou and killed two of the clan chiefs of Li Dian’s clan. As Lu Bu’s partner and top minister, Zhang Liao was naturally impossible to say that he was not involved in this matter. of.
Li Dian and the Li clan later followed Cao Cao and gave Lu Bu a lesson. They killed Lu Bu's Biejia and Zhizhong, and even completely defeated Lu Bu's Bingzhou army.
Under such circumstances, the fact that Zhang Liao and Li Dian were able to work together without fighting showed that both parties had a clear understanding of the overall situation.
Zhang Liao was a rare high-ranking official under Lu Bu. Every time Lu Bu divided his troops, most of the time he would let Zhang Liao lead the army.
Facts have proved that Zhang Liao does have such an ability, and emotional intelligence is an indispensable and important ability for a successful commander.
Lu Bu's cheating is another matter. Moreover, his failure to beat Cao Cao, who has high emotional intelligence, can be regarded as a side application of the importance of emotional intelligence.
I didn't take a closer look yesterday, but when I took a closer look today, Liu Feng was surprised to find that Zhang Liao had a baby face and fair skin. Apart from being tall and burly, he didn't look like a border warrior at all.
Zhang Liao was actually a wealthy family in the North. He became a county official when he was only a teenager. He was later accepted as a clerk by the prefect Ding Yuan. After being recommended to the general He Jin, he was entrusted with the important task of recruiting troops.
It can be said that the official career is prosperous and bullish all the way.
Later Ding Yuan died, but Zhang Liao became the second-in-command and major shareholder of the Bingzhou Army, and was willing to serve as Lu Bu's deputy, which shows that he was not only brave but also resourceful.
"General, you are welcome."
Liu Feng took advantage of the situation and held Zhang Liao's hand and said: "To be honest, general, the person who defeated you yesterday was my bow and horse teacher."
"After returning home, my teacher was full of praise for the general and wanted to get close to the general."
Liu Feng asked: "When will the general be free? Feng is willing to be a host and entertain the general."
Zhang Liao was a little surprised. Although he didn't understand why Liu Feng was so close to him, he was keenly aware that this might change the embarrassing situation of the Bingzhou Army in Xuzhou.
Zhang Liao had long heard that the Xuzhou army had strict military discipline, but when he saw it yesterday, he was still amazed.
In contrast, the Bingzhou Army had lax military discipline and committed robberies from time to time. They were repeatedly warned by the Xuzhou Army along the way that if anyone robbed the people, Xuzhou would pursue them to the end.
Whether it is for the benefit of the Bingzhou Group or personal interests, it is obviously Zhang Liao's best choice to make good friends with Liu Feng.
So Zhang Liao ignored the fact that his hangover was still lingering, and immediately nodded and said: "Young Master, I would like to thank you very much for your invitation. As long as I am still in the city and have nothing to do, I will wait for your call at any time."
Liu Feng was very happy when he heard this.
The two talked for a long time. When they were leaving, Liu Feng thoughtfully gave him a frosting as a gift.
After Liu Feng left, Zhang Liao felt that he was a little too enthusiastic.
However, for him, who was living in Xuzhou, it was a good thing for his host to be more hospitable, and Zhang Liao felt that there was nothing worthy of Liu Feng's desire, so he felt relieved.
Zhang Liao didn't pay attention. Hao Meng saw this and quietly went to Lu Bu's place.
After the meal, Lu Bu drank the hangover soup and looked at Hao Meng with drunken eyes.
“You said Wen Yuan is going to betray us?”
Lü Bu’s face was full of disbelief. He and Zhang Liao had a life-long friendship, and they had been working together for five or six years. There have been arguments, but we are always of the same mind.
In the past, when Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an and Lu Bu fled in a hurry, he only had dozens of knights around him. It was Zhang Liao who packed up the Bingzhou army and chased them, which allowed Lu Bu to regain his military morale.
Zhang Liao didn't abandon him at that time, Lu Bu. Why did he betray him now?
Hao Meng, however, vowed: "The general saw him talking and laughing with Liu Feng before, and they were very close. After Liu Feng left, he saw me standing aside, and his expression suddenly changed. If not You feel guilty, why do you do this?"
Lu Bu raised his head and stared at Hao Meng, who felt guilty and lowered his head.
Lu Bu snorted coldly in his heart. He didn't know what Hao Meng was thinking. This guy was one of the top three generals in the Bingzhou Army. He had his own subordinates and was considered a real power.
It's just that Hao Meng has always resented Zhang Liao's pressure on him and has been dissatisfied with him for a long time, which made Lu Bu have to doubt his intentions.
"It's just a proper social interaction. Zisheng is the eldest son of Xuande, and he has already been out doing things. Everyone in Xuzhou respects him very much."
Lü Bu suppressed his impatience. , comforted Hao Meng and said: "Wen Yuan's friendship with him may not be a bad thing for us Bingzhou people."
