Chapter 1378: Human Heart
Perhaps because everyone's DNA is different, everyone is strictly unique and has their own ideas and concepts.
This kind of personal ideas and concepts, once formed, are very difficult to change. Why does the state invariably choose the nine-year compulsory education? If you don't accept such compulsory education, you may even break the law and be enforced?
It's still the same old saying, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason.
If you have obtained the corresponding benefits, then you will have to pay the corresponding price.
A peck and a drink, its own destiny.
Fei Qian didn't expect Lu Bu to come to him, because Fei Qian thought that Lu Bu was proud, like a lone wolf on the grassland, although he was lonely and lonely, he would still stand proudly on the high slope of the dirt, instead of running down and waging his tail and begging for mercy.
So if based on this assertion, Lu Bu's behavior when he came to Hedong is extremely suspicious, and it must contain an ulterior secret hidden behind it.
But on the other hand, it is still possible for people to be changed, they know how to hurt when they hit the south wall, and then although they are reluctant, there are still people who cover their heads and detour, so what kind of person does Lu Bu belong to at the moment?
After all, Lu Bu is Wen Hou.
Previously, there were three kinds of positions in the Han Dynasty: self-recommendation, joint name, and canonization. The self-recommendation is like what Yuan Shao did before, claiming that he was a chariot general, and the joint name is like Yang Biao's recommendation of Fei Qian to be a hussar general, but these two positions are not counted in the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and the only thing that can really be put on the table in a grand manner is the official position canonized by the imperial court.
It's like Liu Bei was the Qingzhou Thorn History and Xuzhou Mu, but what everyone recognized was the Yuzhou Thorn History, because only this Yuzhou Thorn History was given to Liu Bei by Cao Cao under the pretense of the imperial court after Liu Bei voted for Cao Cao.
Although Lu Bu, the Wenhou, was given the title by Dong Zhuo, after Dong Zhuo was killed, many official positions were invalidated, but Lu Bu was different, after assassinating Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun re-emphasized it again on behalf of the imperial court, and named Lu Bu as the general of Fenwu, Yitong Sansi, fake festival, etc., which is equivalent to the recognition of the imperial court, and the official position of Lu Bu was whitewashed.
People have a bottom line, and those who don't have a bottom line will not be welcomed by anyone, whether it is ancient or modern. On the one hand, he does not follow the rules, and on the other hand, he asks others to follow the rules, and such a character will not be an emperor for a long time. Therefore, Fei Qian needs to know where Lu Bu, or Lu Bu's small gang of people, is the bottom line?
Asking directly on the surface often does not get the correct result, or even if the face-to-face inquiry gets an answer, it is often not an accurate result, so Fei Qian can only observe secretly.
"Brother, this is Pingyang...... standing on a dirt slope in the southern suburbs of Pingyang, Fei Qian sat on the back of a horse, pointed with a horsewhip, and said, "In Pingyang, the four gates collapsed, the city wall was only left with rammed earth, and the streets were congested with abandoned things......
Lu Bu looked at the red city in the distance and couldn't help but take a breath, "This...... This Pingyang seems to be bigger than Luoyang! ”
"Hehe......" Fei Qian didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Luoyang City, nine miles from north to south, six miles from east to west, and there are twelve gates...... Binh Duong is just a county city, so I don't dare to violate the number of respects, the outer city is seven miles from north to south and east to west, and the city gates on all sides are two ......"
If Pingyang continues to develop, it is very likely that it will be expanded, but it may not be appropriate to continue to expand the outer city wall, because it may be necessary to adopt the model of Chang'an Lingyi and build some satellite towns, but this matter will have to wait until at least five years later, so now Fei Qian has not told Lu Bu about this.
But even if he didn't describe the scale and direction of future development, the current huge size of Pingyang has made Lu Bu's eyes round, he had heard that Pingyang was prosperous and rich before, but he didn't expect it to be on such a scale! When Lu Bu traveled to the state, he also went to the abandoned Pingyang, and now the scene in front of him really makes it difficult for Lu Bu to integrate the abandoned Pingyang in his mind with everything in front of him......
"This is simply ......" Lu Bu shook his head and said with a sigh, "Unbelievable......"
Normally, the time it takes to build a city is calculated in years, and five years and ten years are common things, but Binh Duong City has been rebuilt and expanded in just a few years, which has to be said to be an amazing thing.
Of course, in addition to the prosperity of commerce, the large amount of comprehensive support provided by Huang's Workshop in terms of construction materials, from raw materials to construction tools, is also an important factor.
Fei Qian didn't continue to explain, but nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, sometimes I find it unbelievable...... But since it happened, there is a reason for its existence...... Brother, please come here. ”
"Huh?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, nodded, turned the horse's head, and kept up with Fei Qian's pace.
The red rabbit horse sprayed his nose impatiently, and several times wanted to open the Fei Qian mount that was half ahead of the horse, but was pulled by Lu Bu, and finally Lu Bu impatiently slapped his head to be honest, but he still chirped and snorted, shaking his mane, looking very unhappy.
Xun Chen had already lined up and waited at the Shili Pavilion, and after seeing Fei Qian and Lu Bu arriving, he first saluted Fei Qian, and then met Lu Bu, Xun Chen's eloquence naturally didn't need to be repeated, picking some of Lu Bu's proud things and saying, Lu Bu laughed and looked comfortable.
Everything seems to be in harmony......
………………………………
Binh Duong Second Ring Road.
Inn.
Wei Xu came back after a circle, and reported: "I have checked, and there is nothing abnormal around." ”
Chen Gong nodded, and then said, "Fortunately, Captain Wei." He motioned for Wei Xu to retreat.
Wei Xu was slightly stunned, glanced at Lu Bu, and saw that Lu Bu nodded slightly, so he silently retreated, and by the way, the surrounding guards were also taken away.
"Why is the public platform so ......," Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu and said.
Chen Gong said in a low voice: "If you want to achieve great things, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. I also knew that Captain Wei's character was fine, but it was just just in case. ”
Lu Bu waved his hand, not wanting to continue the topic, and said: "If there is something on the public platform, just say it!" ”
"General Zhengxi......" Chen Gong did not continue to be polite, after all, this matter has been passed many times, but Lu Bu has not made up his mind, "I came all the way, but I didn't say where to settle?" ”
Lu Bu lowered his eyelids and nodded silently.
"How long does Wen Hou have to hesitate?" Chen Gong leaned forward slightly, "Zhengxi is polite on the surface, but in fact, beware of Wen Hou...... If Wen Hou doesn't plan early, he will fall into the hands of others sooner or later! ”
Lu Bu glared at Chen Gong, but did not speak.
Chen Gong was not afraid of Lu Bu's complexion, and continued to say slowly: "Wenhou, the defeat of Yanzhou is the reason why Zhang Yuanjun is slow to act, and the defeat of Luoyang is not the fault of Wenhou, and now Wenhou has returned to the state and based on the fundamentals, this is an excellent opportunity, and it must not be missed!" ”
Lu Bu frowned deeply and said, "A certain person who sees Zhengxi as a brother, how can he bear to ......?"
Chen Gong interrupted Lu Bu's words and said, "Wen Hou's words are wrong! It is not Wenhou who seizes the cause of conquering the west, but Wenhou joining hands with the expedition to the west! So why not? ”
Lu Bu blinked, thought for a moment, obviously more moved than before, and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
"Wen Hou must know that although the expedition to the west is strong at this time, the foundation is not stable. There are Qiang people in the west who are undecided, Xianbei in the north who is not peaceful, Sichuan and Shu in the south who also need to fight, and General Yuan in the east......" Chen Gong said in a low voice, "It can be said that there are battles on all sides, and it is ......"
Lu Bu nodded and said, "It seems to be true, but how can it be said that it is hand in hand...... This ......"
"Don't worry." Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "Although there is no war with General Yuan at the moment of Zhengxi, there will be no peace for a long time, and there will be a war...... Wen Hou might as well meet the expedition to the west and seek a position...... First, you can continue to lead the army, so that life and death are not tied to the hands of others, second, you also have a place to live, and your son can also have something to rely on, and third, it is also the wish of the whole Wen Hou to return to his hometown......"
Lu Bu listened to his breath and was obviously a little faster, frowned, tilted his head, and said after a long time: "The meaning of the public platform, a certain is also clear...... It's just that this position is important, how can Zhengxi allow it lightly? ”
Chen Gong said with a smile: "If the expedition to the west is not allowed, Wen Hou can turn to the second...... In this way, Zhengxi will feel guilty when he comes, and secondly, he will be allowed to be famous for the sake of his good people......"
Lu Bu was silent for a moment, but still didn't make up his mind, and said, "Think about it again......
Chen Gong was a little helpless, sighed, shook his head and said, "Wenhou ......"
"So-and-so said...... ...... think about it again," Lu Bu frowned and said, and then felt that he seemed to be a little sorry for Chen Gong for saying this, so he added, "I also know that the public station is dedicated to a certain thing, but this matter is very important, and I still need to think about it, and I ask the public station to forgive me......"
Lu Bu said this, what else could Chen Gong say, he could only arch his hand and retreat......
………………………………
Binh Duong Mansion Lobby.
Xun Chen sat aside, stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "Wen Hou Yong is brave, but is it...... Therefore, Wen Hou may not have many thoughts in his heart, I am afraid that the key to this is still in the place of Chen Gongtai in Chen Palace......"
Although Xun Chen and Chen Gong did not have much contact, as a strategist's intuition, Xun Chen concluded that Chen Gong must have played a certain role in it.
Fei Qian was also a little helpless.
Zhou Zhang offered advice to Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to give up Luoyang, Fei Qian also just learned about this matter, but Zhou Zhang did not come back with Lu Bu and still stayed in Luoyang. After all, as a professional who knows some agricultural technology, as long as he does not take the initiative to provoke trouble, he is very popular no matter where he is......
In addition, Zhou Zhang's hometown is in Heluo, and now as a Tuntian captain, his official position is not big, but he is quite high, so naturally he will not easily give up everything and return to Pingyang to be a big-headed soldier or an ordinary clerk.
Perhaps in Zhou Zhang's heart, persuading Lu Bu to come under Fei Qian's hands is a way to repay Fei Qian, but the problem is that this way brings Fei Qian not only joy, but also a little surprise.
Fei Qian nodded and said slowly: "There is something I don't understand...... Chen Gongtai ...... Whose people are ......?"
Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously not keeping up with Fei Qian's rhythm, pondering for a moment, his brows furrowed, nodded and said, "If the lord didn't mention it, he didn't pay attention to it...... It is indeed an oversight, a lack of thought, and I hope that the Lord will forgive the sins......"
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "If you don't have to be like this, no one is perfect, how can you sometimes be a person who is knowledgeable in everything?" Each has its own emphasis......"
Xun Chen arched his hand and thanked Fei Qian, and then said, "So so...... Chen Gongtai should be Eryuan's subordinate, but I don't know if it's Yuan Da or Yuan Er'......"
Fei Qian nodded silently.
According to the information that is known now, Chen Gong is obviously not the same as Cao Cao, and it is impossible to be in the same group as Yang Biao, so Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and Er Yuan are left. In addition to Er Yuan, even Liu Biao is not attractive enough, so if Chen Gong has connections with other princes, then it can basically be concluded that it must be related to Er Yuan......
The question is whether Chen Gong is Yuan Shao's person or Yuan Shu's person.
If it's Yuan Shu, you can still use it to some extent. Because now Fei Qian and Yuan Shu have no possibility of direct fighting, and Yuan Shu is being beaten by Cao Cao and Liu Biao together, Yuzhou has lost most of it, it depends on whether Sun Ce is against the water as in history, if Sun Ce is against the water, then Yuan Shu's road is basically coming to an end.
But what if Chen Gong is Yuan Shao's person......
That's pretty serious.
But the problem is that Fei Qian does not have any direct evidence of this.
Although the law of the Han Dynasty, well, no matter what time the law was, was for the political high-level, but after all, it had to be maintained on the surface, and Lu Bu was also a prince of a place, and now he just defected to Fei Qian, and then Fei Qian took down Lu Bu's subordinates on trumped-up charges and questioned him, what will this make the latecomers think?
Therefore, Fei Qian is not only unable to move Lu Bu now, but also unable to move Lu Bu's subordinates, at least at this stage in front of him, he can't do it immediately, even if he wants to do it, he needs to find a suitable reason, or let this person completely stink the street before he does it, just like Cao Cao endured it for a long time before killing Xu You......
Fei Qian sighed and said slowly, "Give it a try......"
Only when you move, there will be flaws, so even if there are risks, you still have to give it a try......
