Zhang Ji saw Li Ru's doubts,

Opening:

"This is the Humble Jing Zou family, I heard that Wen Xian was born here today, and he specially cooked a few dim sums by himself."

Zou smiled,

Put the snack in your hand on the table and say:

"Wen Xiansheng, my husband often says that he always has to be taken care of by you, and today my husband held a banquet to entertain Mr., there are many inconsiderate, please don't blame Mr."

"Madame, I've worked with General Zhang Ji for many years, and it's within my duty to take care of each other."

Li Ru hurriedly said politely.

Zou pushed the dim sum in front of Li Ru,

"The women in the countryside don't know how to entertain Mr. and make a few hometown snacks, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike them."

Li Ru is still polite,

Zhang Ji also opened his mouth to persuade on the side:

"The clumsy craftsmanship is not bad, and the students of the literature can try it."

Li Ru picked up a piece of mung bean cake casually,

The appearance is very exquisite,

After gently placing it in your mouth,

Suddenly the entrance is soft,

The taste is fragrant and soft, and does not stick to the teeth.

Li Ru looked at Zhang Ji with interest and asked:

"Mrs. Zun is from Yangzhou, and this hand of mung bean cake is done in a down-to-earth manner."

"Haha, I didn't expect that Wen Xian could taste this. Admire, admire, admire. ”

"Li is just greedy."

Li Ru picked up a piece again and put it in his mouth,

After tasting it carefully, he spoke again:

"Mrs. Zun is beautiful, and this craftsmanship is also superb. General Zhang is really blessed. ”

Hearing Li Ru's praise,

Zou blushed his cheeks and lowered his head,

In this way, it looks even more glamorous,

Even Li Ru couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw it.

Immediately, Li Ru came back to his senses,

Picked up a glass of wine to hide his gaffe,

But all of this was seen by Zhang Ji,

After Zhang Ji found out,

But instead of being angry, he rejoiced,

With a wave of his hand,

Let Zou leave,

When talking to Li Ru again,

The tone became more casual and cordial,

Calling Li Ru is no longer a literary priority,

and directly changed his name to Brother Wen You,

In an instant, the relationship between them was brought closer.

It turns out that this Zhang Ji has a problem,

Or a fetish,

He loved his wife Zou very much,

I think Zou is the most beautiful woman in the world,

Of course, the Zou family itself is beautiful,

And because he was born into a large family,

Its temperament is also very comparable.

Otherwise, in the original history,

It won't attract Cao Cao, an old guy,

When Wancheng recruited Zhang Xiu,

Because of Zou's beauty,

And the loss of Wancheng does not say,

even lost his favorite son Cao Ang,

Beloved nephew Cao Anmin,

and the confidant Dian Wei.

Although Zhang Ji escaped and was afraid of death,

But he likes to show off,

Even his own wife,

Whenever I get together with friends who are very close to my family,

From time to time, he will always ask his wife to come out and show her face,

Every time outsiders see the Zou family,

will always praise one after another,

And at this time,

Zhang Jihui felt very happy.

Li Ru has worked with Zhang Ji for many years,

Naturally, I've heard of Zhang Ji's fetish,

It's just that there was not much contact between the two sides before,

So today is also the first time to see the Zou family,

It's really beautiful and moving.

But Li Ru is not the kind of person who covets beauty.

After laughing, he put it behind,

Masaki asked:

"General Zhang Ji, I'm afraid it's not as simple as watching the snow scene when you summoned me here today. The general has something to do, albeit bluntly. ”

Zhang Ji took a sip of wine,

A little crampedly:

"Hehe, it's worthy of Brother Wenyou, I can't hide anything from you."

waved his hand, ignoring the other party's flattery,

Li Ru looked at Zhang Ji with burning eyes.

Zhang Ji groaned for a long time,

Only then did he finally speak:

"Brother Wenyou, you are the wise man of the world, and I, Zhang Ji, am just a reckless man. Now you and I have been serving Lu Bu for a while, but he has ignored us and kept it here. Although the unrestrained life is comfortable, if it goes on for a long time, it will always be ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ji stopped.

He raised his eyes to look at Li Ru,

I believe that Li Ru will definitely be able to understand what he means.

Sure enough, Li Ru gently stroked his beard,

Nodding slightly, he said:

"General Zhang Ji, do you know why Wen Hou is like this?"

Zhang Ji shook his head honestly,

With a wry smile, he said:

"If the last general knows, he won't trouble you, Brother Wenyou."

Li Ru took a sip of wine,

moistened the throat,

Only then did he explain:

"At that time, Li Yu and Guo Yan were ambushed, and you and I were newly recruited. Don't say it's us, but most of the soldiers under his command are panicked. ”

Zhang Ji's face turned a little red when he heard this,

I knew in my heart that this was Li Ru saving face for him,

Li Ru and Xu Rong are the two of them,

But he was still hostile to them at that time.

even almost put Li Ru and Xu Rong to death,

Zhang Ji understands his own family affairs,

At best, he surrendered after being defeated and captured.

Although it is only a word difference,

But the results were very different.

Li Ru observed Zhang Ji's face,

Immediately understood his inner thoughts,

But it didn't break,

Continue to speak:

"And Chang'an has experienced turmoil, and the people's hearts have fluctuated, if Wen Hou is strong at that time, it is very likely that he will suffer a strong backlash or even resistance if he is not careful."

Zhang Ji opened his mouth at this time and asked:

"But Wen Hou is strong, are you still afraid that the turmoil will not happen? Those cavalry are like wolves one by one, with them, who dares to act rashly? ”

"General Zhang Ji has forgotten that Yuan Shao sent troops to attack the four counties of Sizhou at that time?"

Zhang Ji patted his head,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Oh, yes, yes, I didn't expect that Yuan Shao guy to be very ruthless, and he actually took advantage of that time to take all the land of the four counties in one go. That's true. ”

This is one of them, but the second is that there was turmoil within the state, so Wen Hou had to rush back to the state to stabilize the situation. This made him have no time or strength to meddle in the affairs of Guanzhong. ”

Zhang Ji nodded and said:

"I see. However, it is expected that Wen Hou will not be able to let us be so free for a long time. ”

"It's nature."

Zhang Ji poured a full glass of wine for Li Ru and asked:

"Brother Wen You, in your opinion, when will Wen Hou carry out this matter? What will we do with you and me? ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this,

looked at Zhang Jidao with deep meaning:

"The general must be asking if he can keep his current position."

was broken by Li Ru's thoughts,

Zhang Ji scratched his head embarrassedly,

It is inevitable that there is some uneasiness on the face.

Li Ru originally wanted to joke with him,

But he really doesn't have that talent himself.

It's a joke,

But when it came out of his mouth, the taste changed completely.

But he didn't care,

Just went on:

"Guanzhong has a great stake here, and there is a saying in ancient times that 'those who get Guanzhong win the world', and Guanzhong is the key point that connects the Quartet. If you get the pass, then Wenhou's strength will rise greatly, and he can attack and retreat, and he will be invincible. If the troops are in Guanzhong, then Hanzhong and Jingxiang will definitely be turbulent. Although the four counties of Sizhou are now in Yuan Shao's hands, Luoyang and Chang'an are only separated by two passes, and now these two passes are in the hands of Wen Hou, and it is only easy to capture Luoyang. Therefore, Guanzhong, Chang'an, and Wen Hou will definitely appoint confidants. Now Tongguan and Wuguan are stationed by generals, and they can't act rashly, and those who can take on this important task under Wenhou are Zhang Yan of Montenegro or Ma Teng of Liangzhou. ”

Li Ru is worthy of being the number one adviser under Dong Zhuo,

The news that Lu Bu is about to transfer troops to Chang'an,

It hasn't reached this side yet,

But Li Ru is like a prophet,

I guessed that things were not bad,

Even the person to be sent has been guessed,

If Lu Bu is here,

After hearing Li Ru's analysis,

I will also have to sigh that he is as wise as a demon.

When Zhang Ji heard this, his face changed greatly,

Li Ru's analysis is reasonable,

The geographical location of Guanzhong is very important,

Indeed, it should be garrisoned by confidants,

Even if he is in Lu Bu's position, he will do so.

But if you look at it according to this analysis,

I'm bound to be transferred out of here,

But if that's the case......

Li Ru raised his eyes and saw Zhang Ji, whose face had changed greatly,

He opened his mouth and comforted:

"General Zhang Ji should not panic, although Wen Hou will not give the land of Guanzhong to the general again, but with the bravery of the general's uncle and nephew, as well as the elite of his subordinates, he will not be treated badly. The most likely outcome is you and me. ”

Zhang Ji heard this,

The face was a little softened,

But he still asked with concern:

"So in my opinion, where will we go?"

With a long sigh,

Li Ru picked up the wine glass and drank it all,

Never say a word.

During this time,

In fact, he was thinking about it all the time.

As I had anticipated,

Lu Bu definitely can't let the two of them go here,

On the one hand, the reason is what he just said,

On the other hand, Lu Bu must take into account the opinions of the people of the world,

After all, he Li Ru once killed the first emperor,

This alone made Lu Bu have to be cautious when using him,

In his opinion, Lu Bu is very likely to hide him,

Or do other work that is not in the public eye.

It's just that way,

Although he is very well able to understand,

But it's a little hard to accept,

Living in this day and age,

But to those who have some ability,

There are a few who can endure loneliness,

Who doesn't aspire to be able to make a name for themselves in history,

Merely...... Alas......

Take back your troubled thoughts,

Li Ru could only turn the endless sentimentality into a sigh.

If you ask him if he will regret it,

Li Ru will answer firmly - no!

Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king.

This is Li Ru's criterion,

At the same time, it is also the standard for many civil and military generals in this era,

At that time, that matter was in favor of Dong Zhuo,

Therefore, he, as the mastermind,

Although I know that I will be pointed out by thousands of people,

But I resolutely did it.

It's just that Li Ru didn't know that Lu Bu had plans to conquer the Western Regions at the moment.

Otherwise, he would have been able to guess at this moment,

Lü Bu will send him to the Western Regions,

Even Zhang Ji was sent to Liangzhou to station,

It will also be deduced by him from this.

It's just that he doesn't know about it at the moment after all.

And the conquest of the Western Regions,

For today's Lu Bu,

It's really a bit out of place,

Not to mention that Lu Bu himself is always strategic,

His counsellors alone, who are not inferior to himself,

will categorically not agree to Lu Bu's move,

Therefore, Li Ru didn't think about that aspect at all.

Zhang Ji looked at Li Ru's changing face,

Wisely did not open his mouth to continue to ask,

He also began to have his own calculations in his heart,

Fang Cai Li Ru's analysis,

The more he thought about it, the more justified he felt,

But it is precisely because of reason,

There was a hint of fear in his heart for no apparent reason.

On the one hand, I am afraid that my current position is not guaranteed,

Now although he is nominally obedient to Lu Bu,

But in fact, in the land of Guanzhong,

In addition to Chang'an,

In other places he is like the emperor of the earth,

What a free and easy way to be,

But if you go somewhere else,

Even if the status has been improved,

It may not be treated like this.

On the other hand, he is also afraid of his own safety.

Although Lu Bu has never revealed anything,

And Li Ru also said that he would take care of him,

However, he was still very afraid.

Don't look at him just being close to Li Ru,

In the bottom of my heart,

Zhang Ji was very afraid of Li Ru,

Even compared to the tyrannical Dong Zhuo in the past,

Zhang Ji was even more afraid of the gloomy Li Ru,

In addition, because of the fact that he almost killed Li Ru and Xu Rong before,

Zhang Ji's heart was very frightened.

I just heard what Li Ru said,

It is possible that Lu Bu will arrange for Zhang Ji to be with Li Ru and Xu Rong.

His heart grew more fearful,

But on the surface,

I'm afraid that I will be seen by Li Ru,

So he never showed anything.

The snowflakes outside the window are still fluttering,

The atmosphere in the window is a little strange at the moment,

This banquet ended up a little unhappy,

Both sides of the banquet left the restaurant with their own hearts and minds.

In the camp of the Praetorian Guard in Chang'an City,

Xu Rong held a book of war in his hand,

Against the backdrop of the firelight,

Study it carefully.

Suddenly, a fierce wind blew into the house,

Blowing the candle flame flickering and dimming,

Xu Rong turned his head and looked over,

I saw Li Ru walking into the house in the snow.

"Lao Li, can today's banquet be sumptuous?"

Xu Rong's first words when he met were to make fun of Li Ru.

Li Ru had a wry smile on his face,

Rubbed his hands together to warm them up,

"Ha, there is no good feast. Zhang Ji was scared and wanted to get some news from me. ”

Xu Rong put down the military book,

took the wine glass and handed it over for Li Ruman.

Taking the wine glass, Li Ru drank it all.

Xu Rong poured a glass of wine for Li Ru again and said:

"After all these years, I thought that Zhang Ji had grown a little, but I didn't expect that he was still a brave person."

Due to the previous battle in Chang'an,

Xu Rong always had some complaints about Zhang Ji,

Therefore, this banquet did not go to the sick.

Although the two didn't really have any contradictions,

But there is not too much contact,

In this regard, Li Ru persuaded Xu Rong several times,

Later I saw that it was always useless,

It's not insisting.

But Xu Rong is not a reckless person after all,

On the surface, he still maintains a relatively good relationship with Zhang Ji,

It's just that in private, there are no good words between words.

"Lao Xu, don't say that. Now after all, we are already ministers of the same palace. Let's get past the previous little things. ”

Li Ru persuaded a little helplessly.

"It's not up to me to get by. Look at it, this kid will get bad things sooner or later......"

Xu Rong drank a glass of wine by himself,

Said in a muffled voice.
