It's night, and it's quiet.

A full moon like a jade disc shuttled through the clouds, and a faint moonlight sprinkled onto the earth.

It is still the top of Penglai Mountain, the two old men sit opposite each other, each with a cup of tea in front of them, and the faint fragrance of tea drifts around with the night breeze.

The old man in white looked at the old man in Tsing Yi opposite, and said calmly: "Senior Brother Zuo, yesterday I watched the sky at night, the emperor star was dim, the stars were bright, the Han Dynasty was coming to an end, and the time for chaos in the world would come." ”

The only remaining eye of the old man in Tsing Yi still flashed with a fine light, and he also looked calm, as if he was not discussing the general trend of the world with the old man in white, but more like chatting with the old man in white about trivial things.

I only heard the old man in Tsing Yi say: "Senior Brother Nan, the emperor star is dim, and the dragon qi is torn apart, I don't know which side Senior Brother Nan is optimistic about?" ”

The old man in white smiled slightly, and when he heard his junior brother ask, he knew that this was his own idea.

Unhurriedly, he said: "Since the end of the last chess game, in the past ten years, I have traveled all over the Han Dynasty, and my disciples have also found out a lot of news.

In my opinion, there are only five people who can win the world. ”

If there are others present, they will know that this old man in white is the world-famous "Nanhua Immortal", and this old man in Tsing Yi is also the world-famous "Zuo Ci Daoist". ”

These two people are about the same age, and they worship Penglai Wonderland together, so they are commensurate with brothers.

When Zuo Ci heard his senior brother say this, his mouth raised a trace of arc, and said, "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing!" Senior Brother Nan, I look at the world, there are many talents, but there are only five people who can win the world. ”

Nanhua saw that the number of people observed by Senior Brother Zuo Ci was equal to the number of people he observed, and he was slightly surprised and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, you might as well say one, I will say one, and see if the five people we are optimistic about are the same."

If all of them are the same, it means that the two of us have a discerning eye;

If there are different people, the achievements of the people you are optimistic about are above the achievements of the people I am optimistic about, I will lose you a bottle of 'drunken immortal brew';

The achievements of the people I am optimistic about are above the achievements of the people you are optimistic about, so you can give me a bottle of 'smelling fairy fragrance'. ”

Zuo Ci said with a smile: "Senior Brother Nan, this method is very wonderful. I also have this intention, the bottle of 'Drunken Immortal Brew' that won you in the chess game last time, I drank it and had a long aftertaste, it was simply a jade liquid!

It's a rare good wine. Let me start with one: Cao Cao of Yanzhou. ”

Nanhua said with a smile: "Senior brother has a good vision, Cao Cao's son, whether it is military ability or political ability, is quite powerful, I think if there are only three people in the world, there will be a place for this son." This person is the same, nothing interesting. Since Cao Cao is mentioned, I think the junior brother will inevitably see another person, that is, Yuan Shao to the north of Cao Cao. ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "What Senior Brother said is exact. Yuan Shao's son may not be as good as Cao Cao in terms of ability, but his Yuan family has a profound background and many talents; Yuan Shao's subordinates are even more strategists, fierce generals like rain, and there are many talents! And occupy the unique Jizhou. Compared with others, the conditions are too generous, and they will definitely be able to achieve a career. ”

Nanhua sighed and said: "I visited Yuan Kui, the chief lieutenant, in my early years, and reminded him: When the world is in turmoil, if the Yuan family takes two guarantees and one son, regardless of the sons-in-law, they will definitely ascend to the throne. It's a pity that Yuan Kui actually said that I was noisy, and let the subordinates out. Looking at it now, what Yuan Kui values in his heart is his sister-in-law Yuan Shu. ”

Zuo Ci laughed and said: "Haha, the world-famous Nanhua Immortals will even be blasted out of the gate at times." If I let my fellow people know about this, my reputation in Penglai Wonderland will really become the first in the world. ”

Nanhua pretended to be angry and said: "Senior Brother Zuo, I haven't beaten you for a long time, I think you have itchy skin?" ”

Zuo Ci put away his smile, looked like a 'little obedient', and said: "Senior brother is above, junior brother knows that he is wrong."

Let's go back to the topic just now, I think Liu Bei of Pingyuan County can also become a hegemon.

This person is ambitious and extremely good at forbearance, generous, but has a heroic posture. It's hard to prevent. ”

Nanhua saw that the 'intimidation' of Zuo Ci just now had an effect, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "No matter when, if you have strength, you will have the confidence to speak." ”

He continued: "It's good to know that it's wrong. Liu Bei you mentioned, I have also seen it, it is true that among these five people, although they are now succumbing to Gongsun Zhan, they will stand at the door sooner or later.

All three of them are over 30 years old, and it is really not easy to make some achievements. But the other two people I like are in their twenties, and this is really a 'dragon among men'. ”

Zuo Ci looked like he was underwhelmed, and said: "Senior brother, don't cheat, although the remaining two of the five people I watched are also in their twenties, but the senior brother said it below." ”

Nanhua saw Zuo Ci's appearance and said domineeringly: "How can I play tricks on a bottle of wine? You should be careful when you speak, otherwise, I will beat you up first, no matter what kind of bet I make. ”

Zuo Ci saw Nanhua being so 'domineering', and said in his heart: "If I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have beaten you a long time ago." But his face was put away with that underbeaten look.

Nanhua saw Zuo Ci's change of appearance and continued: "I look at Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, who can bend and stretch things, and if he has great advantages, he will definitely be able to achieve a career. ”

When Zuo Ci heard Nanhua's words, he couldn't hold back for a moment, and said happily: "Haha! Senior brother, what you said is Sun Ce, it seems that your 'Drunken Immortal Brew', I will unceremoniously accept a bottle first. ”

Nanhua asked with a surprised face, "Why is Senior Brother Zuo so sure that Sun Ce can't do it?" ”

Zuo Ci pretended to be mysterious and said: "I look at the ability of this son, it is indeed a 'dragon among people', but this son Yintang is black, his face is sharp and high, and he is really short-lived." You use him to bet with me, isn't this bringing me wine? ”

Nanhua said: "Hmph! How can I not see the physiognomy you are talking about?

But Sun Ce's accident was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster, and it could have been avoided. When the time comes, I see how you will have the last laugh? Don't let me not drink my 'Drunken Immortal Brew', but take a bottle of 'Smell the Fairy Fragrance'.

Don't ink, tell me who the junior and younger choose? Can he be stronger than Sun Ce? ”

Zuo Ci continued: "I look at his younger brother Sun Quan, who has purple hair and blue eyes, is born with vision, and is benevolent and decisive, likes to make friends with talents, and does have the posture of an emperor." ”

Nanhua said: "I have also seen Sun Quan mentioned by my junior brother, although it is excellent, but it is still a little worse than Sun Ce, don't rush to make a conclusion, within ten years, everything can be laid out." ”

Zuo Ci said: "Okay, then let's wait and see." Senior brother, there is one last one left below. ”

Nanhua said: "I am optimistic about Han Cheng in Yanmen County.

This son has a great mind and is a righteous person, but when the heroes are competing for hegemony, he can go to the north to resist the Southern Xiongnu and protect the people of the Han family, which is really a rare benevolent and righteous person. ”

Zuo Ci said: "In my opinion, Xiliang's Ma Chao's achievements are set above Han Cheng. ”

Ma Chao is the son of Ma Yuan, the descendant of General Ma Yuan of Han Fubo. The 'Kansai Iron Cavalry' under his command is good at fighting, and after Dong Zhuo's 'Xiliang Iron Cavalry' entered Beijing, it can be called the first cavalry in the world.

In the north, there is no one to fight with.

And Ma Chao himself is superb in martial arts, and is called "Shenwei Tian General" by the Qiang people, and has a supreme position among the Qiang people, even if he does not dominate the Central Plains, he will definitely have some achievements in the northwest. ”

Nanhua said: "The opinions of the junior brother and I have a disagreement on the final candidate, so it is okay, at least let me win the bottle of 'Smell the Fairy Fragrance'." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "Haha, senior brother, have you forgotten the chess game more than ten years ago?" That's what you said at the time. ”

Nanhua said: "It was my mistake back then, come on, it's still early, let's have another game." ”

Zuo Ci said arrogantly: "Then I'll let my senior brother have three sons." ”

Nanhua said: "Okay, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Zuo Ci stayed where he was, and said with a blank face: "I'm just talking." I didn't plan to let it. ”

......

In June, Yanmen County, and the state

The land of the three major families has been distributed to the people of Yanmen County.

The large amount of wealth that Han Cheng obtained from the family greatly expanded the Fenwu army.

The number of the Blue Dragon Battalion has reached nine thousand; The strongbow battalion also recovered to the number of five thousand people.

And the ordinary soldiers, there were 21,000 people. Before you know it, the total strength of the Fenwu Army has reached 35,000 people.

Changshan County and Yanmen County alone could no longer afford it, so Han Cheng called all the scribes under his command together to discuss the future development direction.

There are two roads, is it north or south?

(Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone!) There is also a chapter in the evening)
