Speaking of which, the Cheng Zhongde mentioned by Ma Zongheng just now is Cheng Yu, who worshiped the general in the Wei State in history. Cheng Yu has been resourceful and rigid all his life, and it can even be said that he can use any means to achieve his goals. According to foreign historical records, there was a locust plague in various places that year, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu went to war, and it was difficult to hold out without food in the army. But later, seven or eight grain officials died mysteriously, and Wei generals Cao Hong and Le Jin hated Cheng Yu even more. Because it is said that the food that Cheng Yu gave to the three armies at that time was all human flesh, and there were many corpses of their comrades who died in battle.

But objectively, if Cheng Yu hadn't solved this almost impossible problem at an emergency moment, or Yuan Shu's army had already broken through Xuchang, the Cao clan would have perished. And without the power of Cao Cao, what kind of bad influence it had on the trend of the world at that time is really unimaginable.

Besides, although Cheng Yu is not as famous as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu under Cao Cao, he is a victorious general, and Cao Cao Su handed over the important task of stabilizing the rear to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu has rarely been defeated in his life, and even in the Battle of Chibi, Cheng Yu has reminded Cao Cao several times to be careful of Huang Gai's counter-plots. It can be seen from this that Cheng Yu's wisdom is by no means ordinary. And I think that Cao Cao himself is a monarch with extraordinary wisdom, and he likes to use Cheng Yu to guard the queen, so it makes his achievements somewhat limited, which is also reasonable.

Such a super-first-class strategist, and he is a native of Dong'a County, Ma Zongheng will not let it go. A long time ago, Ma Zongheng had been sending people to inquire about Cheng Yu's news, but he couldn't find any trace of Cheng Yu, and even if he found his residence, he found that he had already left.

Because of the lessons from the past, Ma Zongheng also guessed that Cheng Yu didn't seem to have any intention of joining him, and even looked down on him in ugly words.

And right now, Qiao Xuan seems to know this Cheng Yu, with Qiao Xuan's fame and prestige, if he comes forward, at least he can guarantee to meet this Cheng Yu. In this way, Ma Zongheng has the hope of being able to impress Cheng Yu.

Two days later, on a remote mountain on the outskirts of Dong'e County, Dongxian County, I saw lush greenery everywhere, and the fragrance of birds and flowers could be heard along the road, and the air was fresh, giving people a sense of tranquility and remoteness.

I saw not far from the mountain dwelling, the smoke of the cooking stove curled up, dozens of cars parked outside the door, full of some precious books, jewelry, and a lot of silk and satin, looking at this posture, people who don't know, but also thought that there was a famous man in the world living in this mountain house.

In the courtyard outside the mountain residence, Pang De, Hu Che'er and a cadre of guards each held a bowl of tea in their hands, and they all sat down to rest. Everyone couldn't help but be attracted by the surrounding scene, all spoke and talked, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and comfort.

In the mountain house, Ma Zonghengzheng was sitting opposite a man wearing a crown and hat, neatly dressed, with a dignified face, sharp eyes, and a pair of thick mustaches.

"I'm a savage in the mountains, it's not worth the general's painstaking search, if you offend before, please don't blame the general." That person was Cheng Yu, I saw that his expression was flat, his eyes were condensed but not scattered, and he seemed to be neither humble nor arrogant.

"I should apologize to Mr., I think I have sent people to disturb Mr.'s relatives and friends many times, which must be very annoying to Mr., but Ma is really obsessed with Mr., and I just hope to add another side, and as a last resort, I can only stalk him like this." Ma Zongheng said with a smile, Cheng Yu's face changed slightly when he heard this, as if he was interested, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Thanks to the general for looking up to Cheng so much, and regardless of the previous suspicions, I am really scared." If you don't learn a little bit in the process, I'm afraid you will be disappointed by the general. ”

"If my husband is a little learned, then I am not even as good as a three-year-old child. I implore Mr. to go out of the mountain, willing to be a staff officer in the army, now Yanzhou is in turmoil, although I have a stable heart, but I don't know where to go, I hope Mr. will give advice. ”

"Do you have the heart to take Yanzhou?" Cheng Yu's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he didn't expect Ma Zongheng to be so straight to the point, and unreservedly told him about this ambition. After all, although the Han family now exists in name only, those who do not have a certain ambition of power will never dare to take advantage of this blatant robbery of land, like the Yuan brothers, who are now in the north and south of the world, and have repeatedly fought wars, are not only powerful, but also extremely ambitious.

Of course, there are also heroes who are weak, but can swim against the current, take the opportunity to become famous in the world, and establish a foundation, such as Sun Jian, who is throwing himself into Yuzhou, and Cao Cao, who was defeated by Li Xun not long ago, but was a blessing in disguise, got a large number of refugees and displaced people, and quickly trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers from them, and now accounts for most of the Cao Cao of Chenliu County!

These characters quickly flashed in Cheng Yu's mind, and the last person who appeared in his mind was the person in front of him. The one in front of him is even more incredible, it can be seen that Yuan Shao and Liu Dai jointly attacked, one took Hedong, and the other committed Changyuan, but in the end, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster, and it can even be said that he turned evil into good fortune and got the entire Dongjun, which is really shocking and sighing!

Even, people can't help but admire and be curious!

Ma Zongheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "Don't you know, climb Mount Tai and see the world's Xiaoye?" ”

Cheng Yu's heart was stunned, and he suddenly changed his stern demeanor, raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that there are still people in the world who can coincide with me, and see the meaning of this, high, high!" ”

"I don't know who it is?"

"How do you know it's not me?"

"If you want, you don't have to come here to find me."

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he was not annoyed or angry, nor did he hide it, and said, "It's my military advisor." ”

"This person isn't with you?"

"I'm ashamed to say that now I am not worthy of his assistance." Ma Zongheng remembered Guo Jia's agreement with him back then, and he knew in his heart that this was the exam question Guo Jia gave him. If he can't follow the agreement and become the lord of one party within three years and establish his own foundation, Guo Jia will definitely vote for another master.

"Troubled times produce talents." When Cheng Yu heard this, he raised his head and sighed meaningfully, and then looked at Ma Zongheng a few times deeply, and suddenly said: "As Elder Qiao said, you value me very much, and you are sincere. I didn't want to go before, but I chose a tree for good birds to perch on, but you can take down Dongjun, and you are quite bold and ambitious, you can be described as a wise king. If a soldier dies for his confidant, it is not impossible to join your command. But with all due respect, please grant me three conditions. ”

"Please." Ma Zongheng's face was shocked, and he said without thinking. Cheng Yu took a deep breath, his eyes became condensed and sharp again, and he said in a deep voice: "One, don't treat me as a humerus." Second, the strategy of the decisive battle does not take me first. Three, but if the general is successful and achieves the title of prince, I will not be made to the position of prime minister (prime minister, third prince). ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, his face couldn't help but change, such a request was really unheard of, and he couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "The world's talented people all go to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to achieve fame." Why is the gentleman alone? ”

Cheng Yu listened, shook his head lightly, and said: "I have a strong temperament, all affairs are meticulous, and no one is happy. This is one of them. Second, I can plan but can't break it, when the decisive battle is a rapid change, and those who can't break first will be left behind everywhere. Third, I am not a public talent, but I am not a courtier, if I allow it, it will only lead to death. ”

Ma Zongheng has never seen a talent who can understand his talent and temperament so well, and after listening to it, he was full of admiration, so he clasped his fists, bowed his body, and said in a sincere tone: "Mr. is so talented, I can get it, it is the luck of three lives." May a qiē do as Mr. instructs. ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately stepped back three inches, bowed to the ground with both hands, bowed to the horse, and shouted in his mouth: "No, Cheng Zhongde, meet the lord!" ”

Ma Zongheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and helped him up. When the two of them sat down, Ma Zongheng asked about the plan to seize Yanzhou, Cheng Yu condensed and said: "If you want to take Yanzhou, you must first ensure the stability of Dong County and Hedong, otherwise it will affect the whole body, not to mention taking people's land, and even it is difficult to protect yourself." Yuan Shao is powerful, Han Fu is cowardly by nature, and he is not his enemy, and within a few days, the news that Jizhou was taken by him will definitely come. Fortunately, Yuan Shao also needed time to stabilize Jizhou, so this period was the most critical for the lord. Otherwise, when he stabilizes the situation, with his stubborn temperament, he will definitely raise troops and horses to avenge the defeat in Hedong. ”

When Ma Zongheng heard this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said coldly: "Then what should I do?" Please also sir. ”

"The lord needs to show weakness first, send someone to ask Liu Dai for peace first, and then show goodwill with Yuan Shao, hoping to form an alliance." Cheng Yu's eyes flashed, and he actually said something that Ma Zongheng had never thought of.

"Liu Dai brutalized Qiaogong and taught people to capture my family, this revenge is not shared! What's more, Bao Xin and others were wronged for Qiaogong, so they sent troops to attack him. Now that his army is in a predicament, I don't help, but instead show weakness to Liu Dai and ask for peace, wouldn't that teach the world to be ashamed!? And then there is that Yuan Shao has repeatedly violated me, and I can't wait to get rid of me as soon as possible, I will ally with him, won't I be a companion with the tiger!? Ma Zongheng's face couldn't help but show a little anger, and said through gritted teeth.

"If the Lord is weak, instead of harming Bao Xin, he will save him. And Yuan Shao will also sincerely ally with the lord. Cheng Yu sank and said something that surprised Ma Zongheng.

"What do you mean by that?"

"First of all, Liu Dai was held hostage by the lord that day, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and hated the lord to the core, but if the lord was weak, he thought that it was difficult for the lord to stabilize Dongjun for a while, and then learned that Yuan Shao had obtained Jizhou, and he was bound to unite with Yuan Shao to attack Dongjun, first to eradicate the henchman of the lord. Not long after Yuan Shao took Jizhou, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou had already coveted the rich land of Jizhou for a long time. As a result, Liu Dai rushed to attack the army, and he did not see reinforcements for a long time, but knowing that Yuan Shao had formed an alliance with the lord, he would definitely be in chaos. Immediately, the lord took the opportunity to attack with elite soldiers, and he will definitely be able to kill it! ”
