At this time, Xiao Ning came in to make tea for the two of them and secretly observed the two.

Zhang Liao winked at her, and then looked at Zhou Yu blankly: "Zheng Boke? Who is Zheng Boke? ”

Burst!

This time, Zhou Yu squirted out a sip of tea, and was choked and coughed, his face turned red, looking at Zhang Liao stunned, his cheeks twitched, and he didn't know how to continue what he was going to say...... Could it be that he has lost his eyes, this general is really a rough martial artist? No, how can a person who can write a thousand-word essay and write such a poem as a loving mother be a rough warrior? With such words and deeds, how can it be a martial artist?

Zhou Yu was stunned, but saw Zhang Liao suddenly smile: "Everyone has the intention of survival and fear of death, and I am no exception. Outcome...... It's dangerous. ”

Only then did Zhou Yu know that Zhang Liao was joking with him just now, and he was able to say this, obviously Zhang Liao knew about Uncle Zheng and understood the meaning of his words.

He couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he didn't expect the general to have such a humorous side, he already knew Zhang Liao's answer, but he was teased by Zhang Liao, squirting out tea and losing his demeanor, it was inevitable that he was a little unwilling in his heart, his eyes rolled, his sword eyebrows raised, and he shook his head and said: "In ancient times, there was a move of sacrificing life for righteousness, which was admired by the world and was famous for a hundred generations, why didn't the general do it?" Sacrificing oneself for the Son of Heaven is more important than Mount Tai. ”

"In this world, it is often not necessary to sacrifice one's life for righteousness," Zhang Liao shook his head: "What's more, I am a layman, with a sixty-year-old mother in the hall, a large group of wives, beautiful concubines and loving maids, and four or five cute and sensible children. ”

Listening to what Zhang Liao said was interesting, Xiao Ning, who was making tea for them on the side, couldn't help but sneer, then his cheeks turned red and he hurriedly retreated.

"What a beautiful wife, a beautiful concubine and a large group of loving maids!" Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "General...... It's ......."

Zhang Liao also smiled: "Is Gongjin disappointed?" When I came to the door today, I saw a layman in vain, wasting half an hour, hurting my feelings and staining my eyes. ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed even more: "On the contrary, today Fang knows that the general is worthy of his name, and he is no better than those laymen!" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head pointedly and smiled: "I have all the joy, anger and hatred, how can I not be a layman?" ”

During the conversation, Zhou Yu expressed his hope that Zhang Liao would stop fighting in Jianghuai several times, but Zhang Liao did not answer, but asked back at this time, but he wanted to listen to Zhou Yu's opinion, after all, Zhou Yu largely represented the thoughts of the Jianghuai people.

Zhou Yu looked upright and said: "Yu steals that the general is not the person who will be avenged, in Jianghuai to arrest the family, one is to take revenge, but also to implement the new policy, now slaughter the bandits, destroy the strong fort, the prestige is enough, the governance resistance is gone, why do the generals need to kill everything, too much, it will hinder the new policy." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, there are still smart people who can see their intentions, indeed, he asked Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Wu to attack the Jianghuai Haoqiang Fort with great momentum, one is to take revenge, and the other is to implement the household Qi people and the imperial examination system in the Jianghuai region.

These family heroes who intend to murder him are the ones who oppose the most resolutely, and he must be beaten down in order to deter others, and the decree will be easy to implement, but at this time, listening to Zhou Yu's meaning, it seems that the time has come, and I am afraid that it will be too much to kill and deter.

He asked Zhou Yu rhetorically: "According to Gongjin's opinion, could it be that I let those murderers go?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "The dead are gone, the general intends to be in the new deal, when the overall situation is the priority, and the personal enmity is the last, but only the evil is punished, and the rest never asks." ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment, got up and wandered two steps, and then turned around and said, "According to Gongjin's words, only the head will be punished." ”

In fact, Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief, also had a lot of responsibility for the death of the guards, because he was not vigilant enough, he broke through the twenty-four docks angrily, locked up those powerful and powerful descendants, and did not mean to be angry.

That is, the arrival of Tang Wan's daughters and a few children today reduced the killing intent in Zhang Liao's heart, and only then did he listen to Zhou Yu's words and only punish the evil.

"Gong Jin." Zhang Liao looked at Zhou Yu with blazing eyes, and opened his mouth for the first time to solicit: "You have Wang Zuozhi's talent, and a mere nest order is too condescending, why don't you be a Zhonglang general with me first and train the navy for me, how about it?" ”

Zhou Yu groaned and bowed: "I am willing to be driven by the general." ”

Zhang Liao picked up Zhou Yu and laughed: "I have Gongjin to help, and I can settle the world from now on." ”

"The lord is really too famous, and Zhou Yu can only do his best." Zhou Yu clenched his fists hard.

Zhang Liao had a hearty smile on his face, he didn't expect it to be so easy to recruit Zhou Yu.

He ignored that today's situation is very different from history, Sun Ce and Cao Cao were enemies in history, when Yuan Shao was in Hebei in the north, although Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage, but did not pacify the world, but it was the trend of the princes, Zhou Yu naturally helped Xiao Sun Ce to make contributions.

Today's world is dominated by Zhang Liao's family, although there are many other princes, but in Zhou Yu's opinion, Zhang Liao seems to have the tendency to dominate the world, even Sun Ce is also dependent on Zhang Liao, he went to Jiangdong to find Sun Ce and follow Zhang Liao It seems to be no different, plus Zhou Yu thinks that Zhang Liao is a master, and his uncle and cousin have a good relationship with Zhang Liao, so he decided to serve Zhang Liao.

……

Wancheng, Liu's Mansion, Liu Lanzhi and Xiao Ning returned to their mansions before dusk.

When she arrived at home, Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but be stunned when she thought of today's events.

Xiao Ning on the side seemed to see that she was unfair, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, you and Mrs. Tang are really similar, just like sisters, if you follow the general together, it will be interesting." ”

"What nonsense!" Liu Lanzhi glanced at Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning chuckled: "Really, you followed the general, just like ...... Well, it's like Sister Zhao Feiyan. ”

Liu Lanzhi said angrily: "Go, what kind of metaphor is this, Sister Zhao Feiyan is not a good person." ”

Xiao Ning blinked: "Sister, who is Zheng Boke?" ”

Zheng Boke? Liu Lanzhi frowned: "Where did you hear the name?" Something strange may seem like it. ”

Xiao Ning hurriedly said: "It was the general who talked to Zhou Yu today, and he should be a historical celebrity." ”

Liu Lanzhi thought about it, she didn't seem to have heard of this historical celebrity, she said curiously: "What else did the general say, how did you mention this person?" ”

"Well......" Xiao Ning held his chin and thought, "It seems that Zhou Yu asked the general if he had heard anything about Zheng Boke...... Duan Yuyan. ”

Poof!

Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "That's Uncle Zheng, Gong Zheng Zhuang, it's Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, the first article of "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", Ke means to defeat and subdue, but what is Zheng Boke, you have to have a lot of books, so as not to always make jokes." ”

Xiao Ning said unconvinced: "But the general is obviously talking about Zheng Bokeli." ”

Not? Liu Lanzhi was a little curious, so she didn't believe that Zhang Liao didn't know Uncle Zheng, and hurriedly asked, "What did they say?" ”

Xiao Ning hurriedly said what he heard, Liu Lanzhi heard it, immediately understood, and said angrily: "This is him teasing Zhou Yu and deliberately saying the wrong thing." ”

There is no anger in the mouth, but there is some amusement in the heart.

Xiao Ning asked again: "Then why did Zhou Yu suddenly ask the general if he had heard of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?" ”

Liu Lanzhi thought for a while and said: "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan tells a story in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Boke and his brother Gongshu Duan fought openly and secretly for the monarch, Gongshu Duan was arrogant, and his mother favored Gongshu Duan, Zheng Bo couldn't suppress Gongshu Duan openly, so he wanted to capture the old and indulge, indulge his desires and let it go, raise his evil and make it become, that is, let him develop malignancy and expand his power, until Gongshu Duan rebelled, Zheng Bo justifiably defeated him, and occupied the righteousness from beginning to end. ”

When Liu Lanzhi said this, he paused, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Yu asked the general if he had heard of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, that is, to ask the general if he deliberately connived at the Son of Heaven and the ministers to harm him, and then fought back by himself and defeated the imperial court, but he always occupied the name of righteousness. ”

Xiao Ning was unhappy: "The general is a hero, and that Zhou Yu is a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"Good Xiao Ning, he can say the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman." Liu Lanzhi said funny: "Zhou Yu's name shocks Jianghuai, but he is the son of Xun Shijia, why do you dislike him a little?" ”

Xiao Ning flattened his mouth: "His face is too white, and he is not the kind of person who can be relied on at first glance." ”

If Zhou Yu must be teary-eyed here, why can't I be reliable, can I blame me for my white face?

……

At night, in the mansion where Zhang Liao lived, on the couch in the bedroom in the back hall, a cloud and rain had just stopped, Zhang Liao hugged Tang Wan, and the two talked privately, endlessly.

Zhang Liao played with his wife's delicateness, and couldn't help but think about it again, but Tang Wan couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Zhang Liao saw that she was really not good, and he didn't care about himself, so he chatted casually.

"Husband," Tang Wan suddenly asked, "Why haven't you ever asked Queen Fu?" ”

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Tang Wan sighed faintly: "The Son of Heaven credulously believed that Dong Cheng was framed and wanted to kill her for the crime of witchcraft, if it weren't for the protection of Aunt Gu and Diao Chan's sister, she would have almost died, and she was also injured, and she was drenched in the rain all night, and she was seriously ill, and after waking up, she was disheartened, and she decided to follow Zuo Dao Chang to practice and not ask about the world." ”

"Oh." Zhang Liao nodded: "That's fine." ”

Tang Wan said dissatisfiedly: "Husband, Queen Fu shouldn't be such a result, she is innocent, how she treated the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, but she ended up with such a result, the Son of Heaven bears her, but the husband can't bear her." ”

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "What do you mean I can't bear her?" She's the queen, and we have nothing to do with it. ”

Tang Wan said unhappily: "I don't believe that my husband doesn't know her intentions." ”

Zhang Liao pinched her face: "Wan'er, what are you thinking, how can you be a wife like this, find a woman for your husband." ”

Tang Wan hugged Zhang Liao and muttered: "The husband is a general, he can't be thin, it is good to spread the branches and leaves, in fact, when he saw the appearance of Queen Fu, the concubine body felt the same way, and thought of herself, if it wasn't for the husband, I am afraid that the ending of the concubine body is not as good as Queen Fu." Now that Queen Fu is in such a situation, why don't we help her, in this world, except for her husband, no one can help her. ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How to help?" Marry her into the house? Do you know if she's willing to do it? What will the world think of her then? Will she be able to withstand that kind of psychological torture? ”

Tang Wan said in a low voice: "The concubine body also experienced such psychological torture at the beginning, it was really painful, I am not afraid of anything else, I am only afraid of ruining the reputation of the husband and attracting enemies for the husband, the better the husband treats the concubine, the more painful the concubine is in her body and mind, and the more she blames herself...... Fortunately, the husband cherishes the concubine and protects the concubine in every possible way, and now everything is over. ”

"yes, it's all in the past." Zhang Liao remembered that the Kwantung princes used Tang Wan as an excuse to crusade against him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"However, Empress Fu has only just begun." Tang Wan bit her lip.

Zhang Liao shook his head: "She is different from you, after all, King Hongnong was abolished, and there are no more people, and Dong Zhuo is compulsed, since some people understand the reason in their hearts, Fushou is different, Liu Xie is still there, it is impossible for her to enter my house, perhaps, following the Zuo Dao Chang to cultivate the Tao, it is the best ending for her." ”

Tang Wan was silent for a moment, and sighed faintly: "Then my husband and I will often go to see her in the future." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and did not speak, but a melancholy rose in his heart.
