Chapter 085: Banquet for the World's Talents (1)
After Sima Hui and Pang Degong left, Jia Xu said to Zhang Bao with a depressed face: "Lord, this one of you is a genius just now, and the other one is a top strategist, I don't know what weight your subordinates have in your heart, how do you compare with them?" ”
Zhang Bao looked at Jia Xu's angry appearance and didn't feel funny, but Jia Xu's question was very serious, so Zhang Bao couldn't help but smile and said, "Wenhe, let's say so!" If you rank the strategists of the day. www.biquge.info The top three have you, the top five have Xun You, and the top ten have Li Ru. What do you think of me saying this? ”
Jia Xu's chubby face suddenly filled with a smile when he heard this: "It turns out that the lord recognizes my ability so much!" I don't know who the top three in the lord's heart are, besides me, who are the other two? ”
Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "It's Guo Jia and that young man Kong Ming we met at the door." ”
"They? No, my lord! You're not going to be perfunctory to me, are you? When Jia Xu heard this, he directly had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao was speechless and said, "Jia Wenhe, don't you want this look!" In fact, in my mind, you are the first. Because you have followed me. And although they are talented, they may become our enemies in the future! You must remember my comment today, or you may capsize in the gutter! Don't underestimate Guo Jia and Kong Ming. The two of them are like you, they can be called the demons of the world! ”
"Ahh No way! This turned out to be true! Okay, I'll take a good look at them tonight. Jia Xu said.
Zhang Bao nodded. Jia Xu actually asked again: "Who is the fourth or fifth?" In addition to Xun You, I also want to know who will be a threat to me. ”
"Of course, it's Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao's current mastermind. Do you need to ask me about this? Zhang Bao ignored Jia Xudao.
Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, and acquiesced to Zhang Bao's words. Then he didn't give up and said, "Then what's next?" Lord, you can tell everyone at once, presumably the sixth to tenth places are also extremely powerful existences, because you said that Li Ru can only rank in the top ten, and his subordinates think that Li Ru will also pose a threat to his subordinates, I mean if Li Ru is an enemy. ”
After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, Zhang Bao said with a straight face: "The sixth place is Zhou Gongjin we just mentioned, the seventh place is also the Pang Shiyuan we just mentioned, the eighth place is Mr. Decao's family Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, the ninth place is Li Ru, and the tenth place is your other junior brothers Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi." The ten people I just mentioned will all have heavy troops in their hands in the future, and they will either be our brothers or our enemies, you must remember. Even if others are talented, there is no room for them. ”
"Subordinates remember! I didn't expect the lord to have such a clear understanding of the ability of the strategists in the world, and his subordinates obeyed. Jia Xu bowed and hugged his fists. Although he disagreed with Zhang Bao's ranking, he still recognized it, because there was one of them he had never heard of at all. But this does not prevent him from recognizing the ability of this person.
At seven o'clock that night, Guo Jia and other five people came to participate in Zhang Bao's banquet. Zhang Bao had already set up the tables, chairs, wine and food in the house at this time, and took Jia Xu to feast five people together.
Zhang Bao sat in the main seat, Jia Xu on the left, Guo Jia on the right, Zhou Yu on the left of Jia Xu, Zhou Yu next to Pang Tong, Pang Tong next to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang next to Chen Qun, Chen Qun next to Guo Jia. Because Zhuge Liang was the youngest, he sat opposite Zhang Bao, the farthest away from Zhang Bao.
After everyone sat down, Zhang Bao first smiled and said: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Zhang Bao, the pastor of Qingzhou Prefecture." The one next to me is my newly recruited military advisor Jia Xu, and he is also the senior brother of everyone here. I have already inquired about the five of you great talents from the Venerable Master. They are Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao; Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin; Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan; Chen Qun, Chen Changwen; Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming. ”
"I've seen Zhang Zhoumu and Senior Brother Jia!" After Zhang Bao finished speaking, Guo Jia and the five of them hugged their fists together.
Zhang Bao raised his hands to signal everyone to be exempt from the courtesy and said with a smile: "It's a great honor to invite five talents to dinner together, since I am a treat, then let's follow the rules of Qingzhou, eat first, and then drink." Within a stick of incense, only eating, not talking, and drinking at will. Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
Although Guo Jia and the five of them were the first to hear about this rule in Qingzhou, everyone was still very happy to follow it. Because the meals on the table are so hearty!
Roast goose, roast duck, roast chicken, roast rabbit, roast fish, beef, donkey meat, horse meat and other meats, as well as more than ten kinds of stir-fried dishes, and three kinds of bright clear soup. There are also several types of wine.
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he made a gesture of please, and then he ate it first, followed by Jia Xu, and Guo Jia and the five people also started one after another. No one spoke, so they ate with their heads bored.
After three incense sticks, everyone slowly stopped. Seeing this, Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Hehe, everyone just eat well." The next drink is up to you, drink as much as you want, and replace it with water if you can't drink alcohol. ”
Everyone smiled and nodded, and everyone felt very comfortable with Zhang Bao's casualness. Zhang Bao then raised his wine glass and said to Guo Jia: "Brother Fengxiao, I saw you drinking more just now, I think you have something on your mind, I don't know what you plan to do next?" I want to invite my eldest brother to Qingzhou for development, I don't know what my eldest brother thinks? ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly when he heard this, and clenched his fists and said: "Zhang Zhoumu, for the sake of your hospitality to our senior brothers, I will tell you the truth, I have admired Cao Gong for a long time in my heart." However, my senior Zhicai has always been deeply used by Cao Gong, and I don't want to steal the limelight with my senior, so I have been staying in the academy and not entering the WTO. If you want to come to Zhangzhou Mu with a big heart, you shouldn't care, right? ”
Zhang Bao listened to Guo Jia's words, and was disappointed in his heart: Guo Jia has always followed Cao Cao in history and made great contributions to Cao Cao's southern and northern wars. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia still takes a fancy to Cao Cao now.
Zhang Bao knew that even if he knew history well, many things and many people still had no ability to change, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said: "Fengxiao, I am really sorry that you chose Cao Gong!" I have great admiration for your talent. Although you have not yet joined the WTO, I believe that you will definitely be an indispensable arm of Cao Gong in the future. I wish you a dream come true! I toast you! ”
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he clinked glasses with Guo Jia, and then drank them all. Guo Jia also drank it all and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhoumu is refreshing! You have a higher status in my Guo Jia's mind! Zhang Zhoumu, please rest assured, you and I will fight against each other on the other day, and I will definitely repay Zhang Zhoumu's hospitality today! There is also Zhang Zhoumu's appreciation for my Guo Fengxiao! ”
Zhang Bao smiled and nodded, "Okay!" With the promise of filial piety, I am relieved. ”
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and said carefully to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin, I want to invite you to Qingzhou for development, I don't know what you think?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this: "Hehehe, it seems that Zhang Zhoumu is planning to invite the five of us one by one!" Seriously, I'm not like Brother Bonghyo, and I haven't decided where to go in the future. Maybe I'll go to Qingzhou. ”
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't object, Zhang Bao stared at Zhou Yu with bright eyes and said, "Brother Gongjin, why did you say you came to Qingzhou?" As long as you promise to come to Qingzhou, no matter what requirements you have, I will meet you. ”
Zhou Yu looked at everyone with a smile when he heard this, and then frowned and said: "Zhang Zhoumu, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, since Qingzhou issued a recruitment order, there should be a lot of talents who defect to you!" Why can't you let go of our brother alone? Is it necessary for you to invite our brothers one by one? ”
"Yes! It's necessary! Gongjin, I'll be honest with you, I still don't know who is coming from Qingzhou? I've been busy in Chang'an and Sili recently, and I haven't been able to take care of Qingzhou. Didn't you come here to visit you on the way to Qingzhou? Also, you are all the top strategists-level existences in the world, who do you think will dislike the many military advisor-level figures under your command? Zhang Bao said with a smile.
Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this: "Zhang Zhoumu said so, then Gongjin can be regarded as understanding. But Zhang Zhoumu now has my Senior Brother Jia as a military advisor, and my Senior Brother Xun and Li Ru to guard Chang'an. Then when I arrived in Qingzhou, I don't know how Zhang Zhoumu plans to settle me? ”
Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Gongjin, tell me what you are good at?" ”
The reason why Zhang Bao asked this is because Zhou Yu in history was the governor of Wu State, and Wu State was mostly a naval army, so Zhang Bao bet that Zhou Yu said that he was good at growing a naval army.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this: "Zhang Zhoumu smells good about this question. I, Zhou, am not conceited, and in the field of governing the country and security, there is nothing I am not good at. ”
Zhang Bao was stunned when he heard this, how to answer this. Zhou Yu put it bluntly, that is, he wants to compete with Jia Xu for the position of mastermind.
