Chapter 173: Stunned
In the past few days, as Xia Huan's most trusted right and left hands, Chen Zhaoming and Yu Meng can be said to be very busy.
Because of his visit to Zhao State this time, Xia Huan only brought Xu Shuchang, a civil official who could only be said to be unable to do, so most of the things had to be handed over to Yu Meng and Chen Zhaoming.
Chen Zhaoming is better, because he has a good background, Kan Yu was in the First World War, and he was injured a lot, so most of the things that Xia Huan handed over to him were relatively easy.
And among these many complicated things, the most headache for Chen Zhaoming is to be Li Yan's lobbyist.
In the past two days, Li Yan's Dingyang Houfu can be said to be about to be trampled on the threshold.
These people are either Wenchen who has completely taken refuge in Xia Huan and has a good relationship with Li Yan, or those military attaches who have taken Xia Huan's benefits but have done nothing and are panicked.
Some of these people analyzed the situation for Li Yan, and some used the righteousness of Zhao State to persuade Li Yan. And Li Yanyou's subordinates even directly stated that if Li Yan was not Zhao Xiang, they might be retaliated against by Xia Huan.
In short, the emotional card, the rational card, the interest card, everything has been played.
However, several days have passed, and Li Yan still doesn't seem to have any reaction.
And today, outside Dingyang Houfu, it is still very lively. However, when a few people came on horseback, the others subconsciously moved out of the way.
"General, do you think we can do it today?" Beside Chen Zhaoming, a subordinate asked with a sad face.
"Since Your Highness said yes, then we can only do it!" Chen Zhaoming scolded impatiently.
However, when the subordinate heard this, his bitter face became even more bitter.
Although Chen Zhaoming said so, he thought about it in his heart similar to that of his subordinates.
He really couldn't understand why Xia Huan wanted to send him.
Since he was a child, under the teaching of Chen An, he rarely paid attention to the affairs of the court. Political sensitivity has been low.
Because he has been Xia Huan's attendant since he was a child, it is barely feasible to deal with some government affairs, but being a lobbyist is really 108,000 miles away from him.
In the past few days, he has searched for almost all the people Li Yan knows. This is also the reason why these people in front of them are so quick to get out of the way.
However, these are of little use. Li Yan still didn't agree.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated Chen Zhaoming became, and after getting off the horse, he didn't even wait for the servant to come to inquire about his identity, and stepped into the Dingyang Houfu.
"Anyway, Your Highness knows my character, even if it doesn't work, presumably Your Highness won't blame me for anything."
With such a mentality, Chen Zhaoming has a feeling of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
……
"Master, Chen, General Chen is here......"
In Dingyang Houfu, there are many servants who are Li Yan's subordinates, so naturally they also recognize Chen Zhaoming.
As soon as Chen Zhaoming stepped into the Hou Mansion, someone immediately came to report to Li Yan in a panic.
"General Chen? Which General Chen? ”
In the past two days, Li Yan has seen a lot of people. Even, even the only remaining elder in the office, Zongzheng, deigned to come to his door to ask for a meeting.
Therefore, when the servant said General Chen, Li Yan really didn't react immediately.
"That General Chen beside King Zhou!" Seeing that Li Yan didn't react, the servant hurriedly added.
As soon as he heard this, Li Yan's face that had remained unchanged for the past few days finally had a ripple.
"Please!"
"Whoa!"
Before the servant could walk out, Li Yan hurriedly stopped him again and said, "You go and prepare tea, I'll go myself." ”
"Whoa."
Soon, Li Yan saw Chen Zhaoming at the corner of a cloister in the mansion.
It's just that Chen Zhaoming's somewhat ugly face made Li Yan feel a little uneasy.
"General Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time......" As soon as he saw Chen Zhaoming, Li Yan took the initiative to salute.
Chen Zhaoming, who happened to bump into Li Yan, was slightly stunned, and immediately returned the salute.
After a little politeness, Li Yan invited Chen Zhaoming to his main hall.
However, as soon as he sat down, before the tea was served, Chen Zhaoming said a little gloomily: "General Li has really changed a lot since Kan Yu came back. ”
"Hehe, General Chen said with a smile." Li Yan said with some embarrassment.
"Hmph, I was ordered by His Highness to invite so many people to be lobbyists, but I didn't expect that General Li's face would be so big, there is no way, His Highness has an order, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the general must go to the position of Xiangguo. It's almost the end of the day, and I really can't find a suitable person, so I can only come in person. ”
"Hehe, forgive me for being stupid, I really don't have the ability to ......"
"Bang!"
Before Li Yan's words of evasion were finished, he was interrupted by Chen Zhaoming fiercely.
The tea that the servant had just served was also scattered on the table.
"Although you and I are not in the same army, we have been fighting side by side for nearly two months. You should know that I, Chen Zhaoming, said the same. Whatever His Highness gives me, I will complete. ”
After Chen Zhaoming finished speaking, Li Yan's face was also a little unsightly.
It's not that he is angry at Chen Zhaoming, but there is some vague nervousness.
As Chen Zhaoming said before, he will spare no effort to complete Xia Huan's orders.
At the beginning, when facing the Han army, he dared to attack the Jiuyuan elite cavalry of more than 2,000 people with less than 3,000 cavalry. This kind of courage to return the courage knowing that it is death is much more terrifying than simply dying.
If only that's all there is to it. However, Chen Zhaoming later, even more alone and one horse, directly entered the Han army's Chinese army.
After cutting down the big squirrel, he collapsed from exhaustion.
At that time, Chen Zhaoming was covered in blood, his hair was messy, but he was still holding a sharp sword, threatening nearly a hundred Han soldiers and not daring to step forward, but he could really be called a demon god.
It has the taste of the overlord of Western Chu at the beginning.
These were all seen by Li Yan at the beginning. It was precisely because he was shocked by Chen Zhaoming's bravery when he rushed into the Chinese army and cut down Daxu that he was cut off by a Han army for a while.
Therefore, among the Chu army, who impressed Li Yan the most. is neither the illustrious Xia Huan, nor the thick and fine Yu Meng, but the seemingly ordinary Chen Zhaoming.
Li Yan respected, or feared Chen Zhaoming, because of the momentum in him that had no life.
The so-called hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned.
After Xia Huan put on a posture to use Li Yan as the prime minister, Li Yan was no longer afraid that Xia Huan would attack him and his family. Unless Xia Huan doesn't want to recruit any more talents, otherwise, this kind of behavior of venting his anger when he can't ask for it will make everyone in the world feel cold.
However, Chen Zhaoming is different. If it really made Chen Zhaoming stunned, he might not dare to do anything to Li Yan.
No one is unfamiliar with killing people with a knife. It's like You Heng, a madman in the Three Kingdoms era, who died in the hands of Huang Zu, the lord of Huang Zu, Liu Biao, has nothing to do.
