Chapter 45 Bringing People In
"It seems that Ziji not only has a strategy and a good strategy, but also knows people and is good at work, and it can be said that he gathers all his talents in one, but...
It's just that Ziji should know that talent is like firewood, and life is like a candle, if you can't use it, it will be exhausted sooner or later. ”
Perhaps because Chen Feng's previous performance was too amazing, Zhuge Liang not only did not doubt his words, but nodded thoughtfully, and finally probably influenced by Liu Bei's evaluation, and persuaded him sideways.
“……”
In the face of these words, Chen Feng really didn't know how to speak, so he simply responded by silence.
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything about this.
On the rest of the way, he didn't even mention anything about it.
And so it went, about two quarters of an hour later.
Chen Feng followed Zhuge Liang to a hut.
"Here we are."
Zhuge Liang stopped, pointed to the hut in front of him and said, "This is Meng Gongwei's residence, Ziji...... You can go and persuade you. ”
"Okay."
Chen Feng didn't waste any time, so he walked over and knocked on the door in great strides.
Bang Bang Bang!
As the three knocks fell, a tall and sturdy figure appeared in front of Chen Feng.
"In Chen Feng, Xiayingchuan, I heard that Mr. is very talented, and he has come to be a lobbyist for Liu Bei, the general of the left."
When he saw Meng Jian, Chen Feng didn't have the slightest politeness at all, and directly said the purpose of the trip.
"It was Chen Ziji in person, come in quickly."
As if he hadn't heard the words behind, Meng Jian pulled Chen Feng into the hut, and at the same time did not forget to beckon to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming is also here." ”
"Okay, come on." Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, and walked in with him.
As he entered the room and sat down, Meng Jian casually said prevarication in a reasonable situation: "Today's situation, the north has all fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and it is ......."
"And the advisers are like rain, and the fierce generals are like clouds, and there are thirty-six thousand and eight soldiers, and sixty-nine thousand four officials, and this sincerity cannot compete with them...... Right? ”
Chen Feng quickly interrupted, and said with a smile on his face: "I won't say more, you Meng Gongwei can't say it better than me, I'll only say a little...... With so many people, how do you get ahead?
You must know that there are so many talents and a wide range of capable people in the north, even if I am the sect master of the Chen family (Chen Qun), now I am just Situ Peng, a scholar and a servant of the imperial history.
Do you Meng Gongwei dare to say that you must be stronger than my Chen Sect Master?
It's stronger, and when you come out, how many years will it take you to get revenge? ”
"It's different to follow the Xuande Gong, now the Xuande Gong has only 20,000 soldiers, the generals are only Guan Zhang, and the Wenchen only has Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi, Zizhong and a few others.
If you follow at this time, within three or five years, it may be a stabbing history, and after a few years, the world will be calm, and the Han family will be correct, and it will be easy to live in the temple at this time.
I think you know better than me what to choose, right? ”
After speaking.
Chen Feng took advantage of Meng Jian's confusion, directly bowed, stood up and said, "Thank you Gongwei for your hospitality, I still have something to do, and it is inconvenient to stay longer." ”
While speaking, he had already walked to the door with Zhuge Liang, and he was only one step away from walking out.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."
At this time, he stopped, patted his forehead and said, "After I go back, I will probably be promoted to the rank of county prince, and it should not be far away when the time comes to change." ”
"You don't have to send each other, let's go."
After saying this, Chen Feng walked out with Zhuge Liang.
In the hut, only Meng Jian, who was stunned, was left at this time.
Frankly speaking, he is actually not optimistic about Liu Bei, and even compared to following Liu Bei, he personally wants to go to the north to get involved.
But after Chen Feng's words, his heart was shaken.
Chen Qun is such a capable person, and now in the north, he is just Situ Peng, a scholar and a scholar, if he passes, there is a high probability that he will have to climb up step by step.
After I can't say that I can't pass, I don't even have a county order, and I have to start with the county magistrate.
But the county magistrate there does not have as many opportunities as Jingzhou, which gathers at this time, and the difficulty of climbing up has expanded more than a hundred times.
It was he who caught up with the gathering of the storm, but didn't the others wait?
Among these waiting people, is there no one more powerful than him Meng Jian?
Meng Jian may be confident, but he is definitely not conceited.
He knew very well that although he was capable, he would never be able to compare with all the capable people in the north.
Among them, there are many people who are better than him.
Other words.
Even if he Meng Jian was lucky, he happened to encounter the political storm in the north after the past, but among so many talented people, he may have something to wait for next.
Of course, if that's all there is to it, that's it.
After all, in comparison, Cao Cao's momentum at this time is too great.
Big enough to quickly pacify the world.
Therefore, if he passes now, there are still many opportunities.
For example, Ma Chao, Han Sui, Yuan Shao's two sons, Liaodong Gongsun, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Hanzhong...... and other forces or remnant forces, which can be regarded as an opportunity for him to show his strength.
In comparison, where does Liu Bei have any chances?
But Chen Feng's words just now quickly pulled him back to reality.
He could see almost instantly, all the opportunities he could think of, though they were.
But that is not only an opportunity for Cao Cao, it can also be an opportunity for Liu Bei.
Chen Feng said that he was about to be promoted to the rank of county leader, isn't it just an opportunity?
The reason for this speculation is that if it weren't for Liu Biao's old age and eagerness to leave available strength for his son, how could Chen Feng be a county official?
How old is he?!
Of course, this is not a problem.
The bigger problem is that this power is actually biased in Liu Bei's favor.
In this way, the situation in Jingzhou becomes... There are Kuai Yue and Cai Mao who are biased towards Cao Cao; There is Liu Bei outside, Chen Feng, who is biased towards Liu Bei; In the middle, Zhang Yun is such an untalented ......
Under such a big premise, I'm afraid that as soon as Liu Biaogang dies, the entire Jingzhou will change greatly, right?
If Liu Bei can ......
No!
With the help of Zhuge Liang, Chen Feng, Xu Shu and others, Liu Bei will inevitably be able to take advantage of this great change.
"At that point, as long as Liu Bei can successfully take the south of the Yangtze River, his momentum will ...... Unstoppable! ”
Thinking about this, Meng Jian's eyes suddenly lit up.
But while figuring it out, he sighed deeply: "Chen Ziji, it is really Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the world!" ”
After sighing, Meng Jian began to pack his bags.
He wants to defect to Liu Bei!
……
The other side.
"Who else?"
Walking out of Shi Tao's residence, Chen Feng turned around heroically and looked at Zhuge Liang with pride.
Faced with such Chen Feng, Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, and said: "There is also Cui Zhouping, this person's talent is almost no less than you and me, but this person's family is in the north, I'm afraid it's not ......."
"Then forget it, it's still very tiring to talk."
As soon as Chen Feng heard Cui Zhouping, he couldn't help but think of the five surnames and seven sects in later generations, and then lost interest.
The reason why this is so is because he knows very well that a person like Cui Zhouping who can start a family is likely to be like Chen Deng, and he must be swept by the general trend.
To put it simply, such people are very realistic, and the first thing in their hearts will always be the family.
Just with words, I'm afraid it's hard to stimulate it.
Zhuge Liang: "......"
Speaking of which, the last time he was speechless was the last time.
Speaking of which, the only one who can make him speechless is Chen Feng for the time being.
From this point of view, Zhuge Liang still admires Chen Feng very much.
After all, the latter can even stimulate the mood of a person like him who has been cultivating for many years with a few words.
If it's someone else, I'm afraid it can be stimulated casually.
……
Meanwhile.
In Zhuge Liang's hut, Liu Bei was sitting opposite Meng Jian.
After the latter expressed his willingness to serve, Liu Bei was overjoyed at the same time, and subconsciously thought of a doubt in his heart: "Speaking of which, I do have something I want to ask Gongwei about right now." ”
"Xuande Gong, please speak." Meng Jian nodded very seriously, his mind almost turned to the extreme at this moment, for fear of being stumped by Liu Bei's problem.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a little thing."
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand and said with a relaxed face: "I just want to know, how did the name Ziji come from?" ”
Meng Jian: "......? ”
Liu Bei coughed, full of embarrassment: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of public jokes, I always feel that the origin of Ziji's name, as if I've seen it somewhere, seems to be a good meaning, but I can't remember it......"
"There is indeed a provenance."
After listening to the explanation, Meng Jian nodded with a clear face and said: ""Shangshu Hongfan" has clouds: ...... The body is healthy and strong, and the children and grandchildren are auspicious. ”
Speaking of this, he saw that Liu Bei's face was confused, so he simply didn't say anything more, and explained directly: "It is probably the meaning of growth and luxury, and there are words that can be used as evidence." ”
"Growing, lush? Sure enough, it's a good meaning. ”
After listening to Meng Jian's explanation, Liu Bei instantly understood.
Immediately, his mood began to improve.
Since Meng Jian didn't know the story of Liu Bei and Chen Feng's meeting in the toilet, he didn't know what the latter was thinking, so he could only chat with doubts.
The relaxed atmosphere passed in a moment.
At this moment, a voice came in from far away.
"Xuande Gong."
The voice fell, and Chen Feng stepped in two or three steps.
Brushing it, two eyes instantly fell on him.
“……”
The moment Chen Feng saw Meng Jian, he was stunned at first, and after reacting, he bowed his hand to Liu Bei with a smile on his face and said, "Finally, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
