Chapter Seventy-Three: Arguing with Chen Gong
The dinner of the Lu family was also very warm, but Diao Chan seemed a little restrained, and it was Zhang You who took the initiative to show her goodwill, so she let go a little.
After all, having Lu Bu's child is not a wrong thing for her.
Lu Lingqi was very happy, he could see that his husband and father had no estrangement after a period of communication before the meal.
In fact, many things are like this, there are no natural enemies, and some things are valued by oneself, and it does not mean that others value them equally.
Take, for example, this incident.
Zhang You didn't care very much about Lu Bu's family property, and Lu Bu's previous words were enough to let him go.
Lu Bu is very happy, Zhang You is also in a good mood, since the two men in the family are in a good mood, the whole atmosphere is naturally not much worse, therefore, although the wine in the late Han Dynasty is very light, Zhang You is still a little drunk and hazy, fortunately, Lu Lingqi plans to sleep with her mother tonight and say some private words about her daughter's family, which avoids the risk of Zhang You's possible disorder, after all, at this moment, he and faintly see the threshold of the subtle realm, he has persevered for so long, and it is a pity to wait until the door is kicked and then break the ring?
Therefore, he followed the guidance of a maid and lived alone in a chamber, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"Chen Deng really said that?"
Xiang Ling'er waited at the door early in the morning, and when Zhang You woke up, she reported the news that Yang Man brought back as soon as possible.
"Yes."
Zhang You had already expected that this trip would not go well, so he was not surprised.
It's just a guess what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang You got up and said, "Then let's go and have a look." ”
"Master, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Xiang Ling'er persuaded a little anxiously.
During this period of getting along, Xiang Ling'er had already been sincerely obedient. This time it was also out of sincerity, she didn't want Zhang You to make any mistakes.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang You had already made up his mind in his heart.
He made this plan, in fact, he already had a plan in his heart.
If Chen Deng hadn't fled with 2,000 people, even Zhang You wouldn't have dared to go to Guangling rashly.
Now it's different.
Liu Bei and Chen Deng can be said to have no possibility of reuniting because of this incident.
In this way, Chen Deng, who has lost his momentum, will be defeated this time.
With this premise, as long as Chen Deng's sanity remains, Zhang You will not have the slightest risk.
Zhang You didn't even need to pay attention to what medicine was sold in Chen Deng's gourd.
But I'm afraid it's too late today, even if you hurry up, you can't get to Guangling, and it's not easy to sleep in the open, so you still have to get up early tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Zhang You waved Xiang Ling'er away.
After washing up a little, Zhang You straightened his clothes, since he couldn't go to Guangling County today, he didn't plan to be idle, so he planned to visit Chen Gong in this free time.
As the chief and only strategist under Lu Bu, Chen Gong performed very well many times.
But Zhang You still found a huge shortcoming in him.
If the ability of a strategist is divided into three major parts according to time, the ability to respond to emergencies in the short term, the ability to develop in the medium term, and the ability to plan for the long term.
The second point of Chen Gong is very good, for example, in persuading Lu Bu to attack Chen Deng, it is vividly reflected.
But there are two points left, which seem to be a bit unsatisfactory.
When he determined that the rebel was Song Xian, he still couldn't find a good way to solve the problem, and finally relied on Zhang Youcai's ability to turn the tide.
As for the long-term plan, anyway, Zhang You didn't hear Chen Deng's idea from Lu Bu's mouth, and he also lacked the ability to do so.
In any case, since Chen Gong sold his favor and repaid the favor, Zhang You also decided to analyze the future situation for him, although because of his appearance, the trajectory of the world in the late Han Dynasty still had some deviations, but fortunately, the overall direction should not be wrong.
Regarding Zhang You's visit, Chen Gong seems to have expected it.
The servant welcomed Zhang You in, and the two sat opposite each other.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and Chen Gong is obviously a lot richer.
"It's been a long time, how is the master book doing today?"
Chen Gong cupped his stomach and said with a smile: "Without those dirty things, it is much more comfortable." ”
I haven't seen him for a few months, Chen Gong saw Zhang You again, and he didn't have the slightest bit of life, just like an old friend for many years, he made a small joke.
Of course, it's not just a joke either.
After the purge of the original war, Xiapi lost the stumbling blocks of the family, and completely became Lu Bu's hall, although there were rumors that Lu Bu could not coexist with the family, which was harmful to expansion, but in any case, in Xuzhou alone, the impact was not particularly large.
"I have time today, but I want to discuss the general trend of the world with the main book."
Now that Zhang You has lost the identity of the successor, Dao can't dictate Lu Bu's next plan, but it's okay to just discuss the general trend of the world.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a very common thing to discuss the general trend, and it could be regarded as an indispensable topic of conversation among aspirants, so Chen Gong had no objection to this.
One person counts the short, the other counts the long, listen to the opinions of others, maybe there will be a lot of receipts.
Besides, the person sitting opposite was Zhang You, and Chen Gong recognized Zhang You's ability.
"As the so-called general trend of the world, it is an unchanging truth that it will be divided for a long time." Zhang You opened with this classic sentence.
"However, now that the Han family is about to fall, it is time for the heroes to compete again. At that time, Qin lost his deer, and the Han family gained it, I don't know if it was the turn of the Han family this time, and whose hand did the deer die? ”
Chen Gong stroked his beard and sighed.
"What does the master book think?"
Chen Deng pondered slightly, and then said: "After all, chasing the deer is not an overnight thing, there is still a lot of time in the middle, and now Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, ambitious, Yuan Shao is powerful, Qiongju is in the north, and there is more prestige of the four worlds and three dukes, and it is also considered to be like the sky, although Liu Biao is talented, but he has no enterprising heart, and the rest of Liu Zhang is the same, and there is still Sun Ce, who has the reputation of the little overlord in Jiangdong, but due to the limitations of the big river, it may be difficult to make great achievements." ”
Chen Gong said a lot, but he didn't mention his own faction.
In the final analysis, although Lu Bu currently has some forces and occupies a Xuzhou, Rao is so, compared with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they are still not at the same level, and with Lu Bu's notoriety, it is not easy to achieve something more.
Although Chen Gong is Lu Bu's strategist, from the bottom of his heart, he is also not optimistic about his lord.
Therefore, trying to help Zhang You before, for him, it can be regarded as a both-fulfilling move.
