"You are Cheng Zhongde, Cheng Gong, you have really admired the name for a long time. Qingzhou Liu Bei, this is polite. ”

Hearing that Wang Qiu said that the person who came was Cheng Yu, and now he is still called Cheng Li, Liu Bei immediately got up to greet him, and said with a straight face.

The master invited by Wang Qiu is Dong'a Cheng Li, this person is known for his resourcefulness, that is, Liu Dai, and he must also treat each other with courtesy, so Wang Qiu sent someone to invite Cheng Li respectfully and respectfully, and asked him how he should behave.

And the idea given by Cheng Li was to do his best to meet all of Liu Bei's requirements, and take out all the property and labor of Dongjun, so as not to give Liu Bei a chance to attack.

Oh, in the words that modern people are more familiar with, it is "to measure the material resources of Dongjun and the favor of Liu Bei." ”。

Sure enough, Wang Qiu listened to Cheng Li's words, and used all his strength to raise money and reward Liu Beijun. While waiting for Liu Dai to come, Liu Bei stayed in Dongjun and enjoyed eating and drinking.

After listening to Wang Qiu talk about Cheng Li, Liu Bei hurriedly invited him to meet, and when he saw Cheng Li, Liu Bei saluted first.

After the salute was finished, Liu Bei stepped forward, grabbed Cheng Li's hands with both hands, and made a move to "shake hands and say goodbye", and said in his most sincere tone: "It is enough to meet Zhong Degong today, which is enough to comfort his life." ”

Liu Bei's current title is county marquis, the local official position is Qingzhou Thorn History, and the military position is General Zhengdong. Cheng Li saw that Liu Bei was very respectful, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he stepped forward and said: "Old and decrepit, immoral and incompetent, in front of the prince, how dare you call Cheng Gong." ”

The tall man is really tall enough, he is eight feet three inches tall, in modern terms, it is one meter ninety-two, except for Dian Wei, who is nine feet tall behind Liu Bei, no one is taller than Cheng Li. Cheng Li has a beautiful beard, that is, a big beard, and a tall figure, if Liu Bei just crossed that time and saw this person, I was afraid that he would be regarded as Guan Erye, not necessarily.

Cheng Li is over fifty years old this year, and a person in his fifties can barely be said to be old in the modern time and space of the 21st century. What's more, in the late Han Dynasty, when you were in your thirties, you could call yourself an "old man", and people in their fifties might be able to live in the same house for four generations, and it was really an "old man".

However, Liu Bei knows that Cheng Li, who will be called Cheng Yu in the future, is always a little older, but he is definitely not "immortal", although Cheng Yu is compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he is considered a previous generation, but he actually died at about the same time as Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Moreover, this man is old and strong, he is seventy or eighty years old, and he is still fighting with others because of the prestige.

Although Cheng Li has a strong and unruly personality, he is a civilian, and he is somewhat proud to be treated so politely by Liu Bei, who has a lot of identity than him, and he is polite at the moment, and he is reserved there. I wanted to reach out and touch my beard, but my hands were grabbed by Liu Bei, and I had to give up there to "shake hands and talk happily".

Liu Bei naturally wanted to meet Cheng Li's willingness to pretend to be forced, and said at the moment: "Bei Su heard the name of Zhongde Gong, in the past, the Yellow Turban thieves, Kouluo County, and Dongjun counties, all fell into the hands of thieves, only Zhongde Gong alone protected Dong'a, Zhong Degong's wisdom, courage, and insight, no one in the world knows." Why is it still white? Let a great talent like Zhong Degong be in the opposition, this is too guarded. ”

When Wang Qiu heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, and Liu Bei ignored him, but then said sincerely: "Bei is not talented, he is now the general of Qingzhou Assassin and Zhengdong, lest he lack talent and fail the Son of Heaven and the court." I would like to ask Zhongde Gong to go out of the mountain to help, Qingzhou is now lacking a rule, and I don't know if Zhong Degong is willing to give in. If Zhongde Gong is willing to be a military officer, he is also willing to treat each other as a captain, and if he has merit in the future, I will be the Son of Heaven, and ask for the title of Zhongde Gong, and worship the general. ”

"Hiss......"

"Hiss......"

Listening to Liu Bei's words, everyone around them gasped.

Among the subordinate officials of the history of a state, the most important thing is to drive and govern the middle. Don't drive and stab the history of the department, don't take the car, so it's called don't drive. The status of the state is on par with other drivers. Historically, when Lu Su of Eastern Wu recommended Pang Tong to Liu Bei, he once said: "Pang Shiyuan is not a hundred miles of talent, so that he should show his skills when dealing with the middle and other responsibilities." It can be seen that the preciousness of governance, even a character like Feng Xiao Pang Tong, Lu Su thinks that one governance is enough.

The captain is a senior military attache who is more than two thousand stones, and it is not the era of the Three Kingdoms, the general walks all over the ground, and the lieutenant is not as good as a dog, and he can only shake it if he is a general. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun, the three governors of the world, put down the rebellion, and they were just three lieutenant generals. Sun Ce borrowed thousands of soldiers from Yuan Shu with the jade seal of the country, and Yuan Shu thought that Sun Ce's position was too low to lead troops, and he only recommended Sun Ce to be a lieutenant.

As soon as Liu Bei came up, the military position could be a school captain, and the civilian position could be a governing body, which was so important and loving. Everyone looked at Cheng Li's eyes, and they were full of all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Cheng Li was unmoved, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a slightly surprised expression, which was a meaning, indicating that I was flattered. In the end, he refused: "The prince is very loving, and he should have done the work of dogs and horses, but the old man is over fifty years old, and he is dying and decrepit, and he is really unbearable to drive." ”

Liu Bei said: "Taigongwang went out of the mountain at the age of seventy, assisted King Wen, assisted King Wu, Lian Po was eighty years old, and he could still eat two buckets of rice and ten catties of meat for a meal, and the princes were afraid of his courage and did not dare to offend Zhao Jing." What's more, Zhong Degong is just over fifty years old, just in the prime of life. Zhong Degong, the eldest husband was born in the world, he should make meritorious contributions, leave a name in history, and let future generations admire him, Zhong Degong, do you really have to live up to your body to learn. ”

Cheng Li asked: "If I am too public, who is the king of Wen." If I am Lian Po, who is the king of Zhao. ”

When everyone heard this, they all changed color a little, Liu Bei still smiled, and said: "Cheng Gong is too public, then I can be Zhou Zhao, Cheng Gong is Lian Po, and I can also be like Lin Xiang." ”

Between the two, one question and one answer, ask, ask sharply, answer, answer skillfully.

Cheng Lidao: "The prince is full of intentions, I am old, how dare I compare with the ancient sages, I really dare not be." ”

Liu Bei said: "I once heard that Zhong Degong dreamed of rising on Mount Tai when he was a teenager, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

Cheng Li was taken aback, this dream was Cheng Li's youth, although there were not many people who knew about it, but there were many of them, and he even received a lot of ridicule for this matter. At this time, he was suddenly mentioned by Liu Bei, knowing that Liu Bei had put a lot of thought into himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. At that moment, he said: "Xuande Gong, you have a heart." This is just a dream when I was a teenager, and it is nothing if people occasionally have dreams. ”

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, he was happy in his heart, and he heard Cheng Li call himself from "Junhou" to "Xuande Gong", Liu Bei secretly said that there was a door. said with a smile: "Zhong Degong, what is the solution of this dream, although he is not talented, he has a little experience or two." ”

When Cheng Li heard this, he let out an "oh" and said, "Xuande Gong, could it be that you can't interpret your dreams." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "I don't know how to interpret dreams, but I only have occasional gains." ”

Cheng Li said: "I would like to hear about it." ”
