Chapter 45 Xingyang Zheng Clan
When the feast was just halfway through, Xu Rong's servant quickly walked to his side, bowed down and whispered in Xu Rong's ear, Xu Rong frowned after hearing this, and said to Lu Bu next to him: "Fengxian, the Zheng family is here."
Lu Bu's eyebrows suddenly raised, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, the first difficult thing he did when he came to Xingyang was his attitude towards the Zheng family.
For example, even if you have 100,000 or 100,000 soldiers and horses, if there is no one to help you advise, manage grain and grass, and govern the people, then you can only wait to be swallowed up by others.
Cao Cao of the previous generation, after occupying Yanzhou, at first excessively suppressed the local family heroes, which caused their dissatisfaction, so when he attacked Yanzhou, many cities did not spend a single soldier, and the family members who were officials in Yanzhou did not resist at all, and directly opened the city gate and surrendered.
And this Xingyang Zheng family, the way is quite extraordinary, its Zheng ancestors can be traced back to the Zheng State of King Zhou Xuan, after the destruction of the royal family still take Zheng as the surname, and the hometown of Xingyang as the county.
Xingyang Zheng rose in the Western Han Dynasty Dasi Nong Zheng Shi, Zheng successively served as Lieutenant Lu, Jinan County Taishou, Jiang Duxiang, Right Neishi, and later because of the Dou Ying, Tian Wei controversy in the first rat at both ends of the demotion to Zhan Shi, and later served as Dasi Nong, Prime Minister Changshi, Runan County Taishou.
During the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there were two great Confucians, Zheng Xing and Zheng Zhong, father and son, and since then the Zheng family has become a famous family in the entire Han Dynasty.
Lu Bu remembered that in the previous life, Zheng Tai, the current patriarch of the Zheng family, had planned to kill Dong Zhuo with Xun You, He Liang and others, but the result was the same as Cao Cao, or failed, and finally Zheng Tai fled Luoyang and took refuge in Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu showed Zheng Tai as the assassin of Yangzhou, and Zheng Tai died of illness on the road before he arrived in Yangzhou.
Today's Zheng Tai is an official in Luoyang, if the expectation is correct, the person who comes today must be Zheng Tai's brother Zheng Hun. This Zheng Hun Lu Bu has heard of it for a long time, and he knows his name in his past and present lives, because this person is a real talent.
That is, after a while, Lu Bu heard footsteps walking towards this side, and after a while, a man of twenty-five or sixteen, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, tall figure, and elegant temperament, came to the hall under the leadership of the servant.
Just take a look, you will know that he is a person with both knowledge and self-cultivation, and there is a calm calmness between his words and deeds.
After the young man glanced around the hall, his eyes fell on Lu Bu, who was sitting on the main seat, and the young man immediately stepped forward and took a step: "The common people Zheng Hun see General Lu!" ”
Lu Bu didn't dare to be careless about this No. 2 person of the Zheng family, who had some prestige in Xingyang and even in the entire Han Dynasty, and immediately got up and returned the salute: "Mr. Wen Gong doesn't need to be polite, he is still preparing to visit tomorrow, I never thought that Mr. Wen Gong would be here today, which is really a great luck." ”
Zheng Hun had a faint smile on his face: "How did General Lu know that it was Zheng Hun below." ”
Lu Bu immediately stepped in front of Zheng Quan, raised his eyes and said: "In this Xingyang, except for Zheng Gongye in the court, it is Mr. Wen Gong who has such an elegant atmosphere. ”
Zheng Hun received a letter from his brother Zheng Tai before Lu Bu came, in which he said that he wanted Zheng Hun to be optimistic about the form, and if Lu Bu had the ability to keep the Zheng family, he would ask Zheng Hun to choose a good time to join Lu Bu in order to keep the Zheng family's foundation in Xingyang.
When Zheng Hun saw Lu Bu for the first time, he also secretly praised in his heart, there is a person in the world who is so magnificent and majestic, with a tall nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows flying obliquely into a few strands of black hair under the corner of the sideburns, the thick eyebrows are slightly raised up rebelliously, with a ghostly face, a dignified body, and a dignified appearance, but the whole person looks extraordinary.
Hearing Lu Bu's praise of himself in disguise, Zheng Hun smiled humbly: "The general's appearance is also surprised by Shi Ning, if Zou Ji sees the general, he will also feel ashamed, the general can be said to be Lu Bu among the people." “
Unexpectedly, he became acquainted with Zheng Hun without much effort, which made Lu Bu secretly happy in his heart, and saw that Zheng Hun had a humble attitude and a gentle temperament, and it seemed that it was not difficult to take it for his own use.
If you want to gain a foothold in Henan, you need the support of the Zheng family, which is understandable, because the Zheng family is the largest wealthy family in Xingyang and even the entire Henan Yin, not to mention that the Zheng family is prosperous, the Zheng family's industry alone is all over the streets and alleys of Xingyang, involving industries such as horse sales, iron sales, cloth sales, salt sales, etc., and it has thousands of hectares of fertile land, and nearly 1,000 guests and servants at home.
At this time, Xu Rong interjected and said, "Fengxian, Duke Wen, don't stand and talk, please come to the table."
Hearing this, the two glanced at each other. Then Lu Bu pulled Zheng Hun to sit on the first place on his left.
After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Hun, who was sitting on the left side of Lu Bu, said: "The general is now not only Henan Yin, but also the captain of Si Li, which is gratifying." ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu hurriedly waved his hand and muttered: "That's just Xiangguo elevating a certain person, how can a certain De be the lieutenant of this division." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of stuffy wine, and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zheng Hun heard Lu Bu sigh for no reason, and asked, "Why did the general sigh?" ”
Xu Rong next to him also wondered: "Yes, why did Feng Xian sigh?" ”
Lu Bu looked at the two of them, shook his head and said: "The two of you don't know, this lieutenant is in charge of the land of Sanfu and Sanhe, plus Hongnong County, a total of more than 600,000 households, more than 3 million Li people, except for some reckless people under a certain account, there is no one who governs the state and county, so I sighed." ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, his eyes swept like Zheng Hun from time to time.
Facing Lu Bu's gaze, Zheng Hun's eyes lowered, pretending to ignore it, and after taking a sip of wine, he said to Lu Bu: "I heard that the general has a lot of research on horses, and he happened to get a horse not long ago, and I hope that the general will have time to go to the cold house to see if this horse is a good horse or a horse." ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu was secretly happy in his heart, and then raised his wine glass to toast Zheng Hun: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
And Xu Rong next to Lu Bu seemed to have nothing happened, where he was drinking, Xu Rong also kept his mouth shut about the ambiguity between the two during the banquet, and what could he say, Lu Bu was a lieutenant of Si Li, recruiting talents to govern the state and county for him, it was a matter of course, he couldn't control Lu Bu as a guard, although Dong Zhuo also wrote to ask him to spy on Lu Bu, but for Dong Zhuo's order, Xu Rong sneered, if Dong Zhuo asked him to fight on the battlefield, he Xu Rong would not frown, If he was asked to engage in these villains, he Xu Rong would disdain it.
