Cao Zhang looked up at the head of Wen County, the city wall of Wen County was only three zhang, not too high, and it was morning again, so Cao Zhang still clearly saw a few men dressed in big hats talking to each other, obviously discussing something. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After a tea time, a big man shouted at the head of the city: "Please come forward and talk to Lord Jingo!" This person's voice was not ordinarily loud, although he was the only one shouting, it still made Cao Zhang hear this sentence clearly.
When Cao Zhang heard this, he was about to step forward, but Xiahou Heng hurriedly grabbed Cao Zhang's horse and said, "My lord, this... ”
Cao Zhang smiled: "It's okay, I'm wearing armor, and I'm a good horse under the seat, even if they want to shoot me with Jian, they may not be able to succeed." After saying that, he rode his horse forward, and sighed in his heart, after shooting the halberd at the city gate, he had thought that he would never go under the range of the enemy, but now in order to win, he still took this risk, and the troubled times and wars will indeed make people mature rapidly.
After coming to a distance where it was possible to speak to each other without too much effort, Cao Zhangle turned sideways and said in a loud voice: "What do you call this good man?" ”
The big man said: "The people in the mountains and fields have no name and no surname, and there is only one name for the brothers to match, and the name of the contemptible people is called Taihang Tiger." ”
Cao Zhang smiled when he heard this: "It turned out to be the tiger brother of Taihang Mountain!" There is a swallow in Hanoi Black Mountain, and there is a tiger in Taihang Mountain, all of them are heroes in the world, and they have long admired their names! Cao Zhang actually hadn't heard of Taihang Tiger at all, but he knew that Zhang Yan of Montenegro was a giant thief in Hanoi, and Taihang Mountain and Montenegro were both big mountain ranges, and he skillfully used two regions to compare the two, and invisibly raised the value of this Taihang Tiger, which was a communication skill taught by Guo Jia to Cao Zhang, Guo Jia called it sophistry, according to him, it was passed to the Zongheng family created by Guiguzi in the Warring States Period.
In the late Han Dynasty, debate is a great talent, with the ability to confuse the crowd and the effect of chaos with the enemy, Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu gave Cao Zhang a perfect interpretation of the role of debate in Anyi.
This is also the reason why Cao Zhang humbly learned from Guo Jia, but according to Guo Jia's statement, Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu's argument is a superficial eloquence, not a subtle sophistry, the so-called sophistry is to let the other party unconsciously be influenced by himself in ordinary communication, which requires extraordinary knowledge and a grasp of people's hearts, as well as a judgment of human nature.
Cao Zhang's first stage of sophistry is to secretly praise this person and observe his reaction, so as to judge his heart and prescribe the right medicine.
When the big man heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Zhang Feiyan crisscrosses Hanoi, and the contemptible people are incomparable!" Although he was modest, he couldn't hide his excitement, and Cao Zhang judged that this person was just a martial artist, and he didn't have a city government, so it was not difficult to deal with.
So Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Tiger is too humble, whether it is a swallow or a tiger, they should be free to dominate the world, how can they be trapped in the deep mountains and lonely cities?" If there is a big chaos today, it is a good time for men to make contributions, Zhang Feiyan has now led the people to join the imperial court, and is fighting the world, Brother Tiger is a tiger in Taihang, how can he be left behind? ”
Although Zhang Wang, the son-in-law of the mountain family, went to talk to Zhang Yan, but the success or failure is unknown, but this does not affect Cao Zhang's use of this to convince the man in front of him, he Cao Zhang doesn't know, the person in front of him doesn't know, everything is easy to do if he comes out, and Cao Zhang still puts him in the same position as Zhang Yan, and tells him that you are too big and tiger in the eyes of Cao Zhang, but you are the same thief as Zhang Yan, I will not treat you badly, and there is a bigger and broader world waiting for you.
After saying this, whether it is Taihang Tiger or other big thieves around him have been moved, they were originally a lackey of the Sima family, bullying the people, fish and meat township, although the local officials and the people are afraid of them like tigers, but in front of the Sima family and those who are attached to the Sima family, they grovel, beckon, linger away, not much better than dogs, now someone said to them that they can make meritorious contributions, do not have to do this shady thing in Hanoi, how can they not be moved?
The Han Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and although it is now the collapse of the dynasty, it is still not dead, and the loyalty and patriotism established in the past 400 years, the value orientation of men to make contributions to defend their homeland is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but because they have not had a full meal and become violent and negative, and now Cao Zhang has given them the opportunity to return to the right track, how can they not be tempted?
Therefore, after listening to Cao Zhang's speech, Taihanghu asked the sentence he was most concerned about: "Dare to ask my lord, what position did Zhang Feiyan receive in the imperial court?" ”
When Cao Zhang heard this, he knew that this person had been convinced, and knew that his sophistry had worked, so he paused with pride, and laughed: "Although he has not yet been on the imperial court and does not know the exact official position, who in our army does not call him General Zhang?" How could there be no general's mansion in the most prosperous area of Xudu? As long as Brother Tiger serves the court, you and I are colleagues! You don't need to call me this adult, just call me Ziwen, I will also call you a tiger general, the most warlike infantry in my Cao army is called the Tiger Guard, and it is also very appropriate to call you this tiger general. ”
When Taixinghu heard this, he immediately smiled, and laughed: "Adults are really contemptible when they speak, just rush to this, and I will descend to Taixinghu!" After speaking, he looked back at a few big men behind him and drank: "What do you think, brothers? ”
Several men behind him immediately made a gossiping statement, and a sturdy man shouted: "Listen to the master, it's down!" ”
Another man who was quite lean and had a shrewd face also said: "Brother Tiger, under the city is the third son of the Cao family who shoots halberds at the city gate and burns the black nest!" has a great reputation, he persuaded us like this, there is no arrogance, and the brothers have a face! No loss! ”
The others also agreed, and Tai Xinghu immediately shouted to Cao Zhang when he heard that several leaders agreed: "Your Excellency, please wait for a while, and after the contemptible people hang all the heads of the Sima family's lackeys on the city, immediately open the city and invite the adults to have a drink!" ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Brother Tiger really understands righteousness, so Zhang is waiting for good news outside the city!" After speaking, he clenched his fists on the horse.
Seeing this, Cao Zhang returned to the place where Xiahou Heng and the 1,000 city defense army were located, and said to Xiahou Heng: "Boquan, order Wang Ling to withdraw the walled city that surrounds Wen County, and ask Chen Zhi to divide the 4,000 guards into four teams and place all the 20,000 displaced people in the manor of the Sima family's lackeys near Wen County, so that they can be self-sufficient, and then send a letter back to Xudu, so that Ren Zhonglang will set up a military camp here." ”
Xiahou Heng was now so impressed with Cao Zhang's admiration that he immediately agreed loudly: "No! ”
Cao Zhang laughed and rode back to the camp.
