The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Popular recommendation:

The person who came to publicize the family is none other than Yang Hong.

In the early years, Xun Zhen made a "little invention" of cooking mutton. This invention was only circulated in Xun Zhen's army at first, and then gradually became popular in Xu, Yan and other places. Then, Sun Ce's generals also liked this method of eating. Then it spread all over Yuzhou, and gradually Nanyang, Jiangxia and other areas bordering Yuzhou, although they belonged to the "enemy territory", but Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others also knew that there is such a way to eat mutton, although Xunzhen is theirs The enemy, but the way to eat meat is really good, and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, etc. have learned it.

The weather is cold today, which is the right time to eat mutton.

Zhang Liao was gathering at home with several of his cronies to eat mutton.

At this time, when he heard Yang Hong begging to meet, he felt strange.

Yang Hong came to Pingchun, he knew about it, but he had no friendship with Yang Hongsu, so why did Yang Hong throw a stab to ask him to see him?

Among the generals who accompanied him to eat mutton, a commander said: "General, Yang Hong arrived in Pingchun three or four days ago, right? I heard that he visited General Lu and Mr. Chen successively; Why did you come to see the general?"

Although Zhang Liao and Yang Hong had no friendship, Yang Hong was the long history of Yuan Shu's shogunate after all, and had a high status. Since he took the initiative to come to the audience, it was necessary to see him. After thinking about it, Zhang Liao left the generals and told them to eat first. He got up and left the room and went to the hall.

When he arrived in the hall, Yang Hong was already waiting in the hall.

The two greet each other.

There was no one in the hall, and there was no fire. The charcoal was just started, and the room temperature was still very low. Yang Hong had been sitting for a while, his hands and feet were cold, and his nose was red. Please see me, I still dare to ask the general not to blame."

Before Zhang Liao arrived, a few people gathered around the stove and were eating mutton, but they were warm all over, and said in return, "A few days ago, I learned that I suddenly drove to Pingchun with my feet. So I didn’t take the liberty to visit, but I didn’t expect to come here today, which really surprised Liao.”

How could Yang Hong not understand what Zhang Liao meant?

On the surface, it means that Zhang Liao is very surprised by his sudden arrival; in fact, it means that I have no friendship with you, and why did you suddenly come to see me?

Yang Hong's expression did not change, and he did not rush to explain to Zhang Liao immediately. He was meticulous and just saluted Zhang Liao. After he and Zhang Liao were seated, he said, "I didn't come today to ask to see the general. However, the reason why I asked to see the general today was really because of a major event that was related to the general's life. Therefore, even though I knew that I was presumptuous and planned for the general, I couldn't take care of it for a while." He pleaded guilty again and said, "I'm rude. Here, I beg for General Haihan!"

Zhang Liao had just left the table and had not yet sat down, when he heard Yang Hong say such a sentence, the "surprise" in his mouth just now turned into the "surprise" in his heart at this time, and said stunned: "Is it related to my life? I don't know what Mr.

Yang Hong snorted again and said, "The general should have known that I had seen Duke Lu the day before yesterday, and Duke Chen yesterday, but the general knew that I came to Pingchun from Wanxian in this cold winter and twelfth lunar month. , why did you ask to see Duke Lu and Duke Chen successively?"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, decided to tell the truth, and said, "I heard a little bit, and it seems that I have come here because of Duke Lu's intention to participate in the great court meeting on Zhengdan next year."

Yang Hong nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing! General, Duke Lu is a simple and loyal person. The imperial court issued a decree to change Duke Lu as Marquis of Shunyang, and later appointed Duke Lu as the superior. The planners are new information orders. Those with discerning eyes can see that these various methods are clearly Xun Zhenzhi's strategy to alienate Duke Lu and General Zuo. I want to enter the DPRK and participate in the celebration of congratulations on Zhengdan next year! After I heard about this in Wanxian County, it was for Duke Lu to prevent him from falling into Xun Zhenzhi's plan. It was also for my overall plan of Nanyang and Jiangxia, so despite the severe cold, I hurried to Pingchun and asked to see Duke Lu. I had an audience with Duke Lu the day before yesterday, and I didn’t dare to hide my worries, but I gave all my humble opinions and concerns. I gave it to Duke Lu. Duke Lu is wise, and I have now dismissed the idea of ​​entering the court and participating in next year's Zhengdan celebration!"

Yang Hong's call was not false at all, it was the truth.

Especially the sentence "It's not only for Lu Bu, but also for Nanyang Jiangxia's overall plan", it is more honest, there is no "beautify" the purpose of his coming here. If it were another person, they might only say that the purpose of this is for Lv Bu's net worth and life plan, and he would not say "for the overall plan", in order to obtain Lu Bu, including Zhang Liao's gratitude to him, But Yang Hong didn't do that. Failing to do so just shows his shrewdness, which is different from ordinary lobbyists.

These words entered Zhang Liao's ears, and Zhang Liao could hear the truth in his words, but because of this, he dispelled a little suspicion in his heart caused by his "adventurous request for advice".

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment. Seeing his frankness, he took a frank attitude and replied, "The imperial court's successive decrees and successive measures, as the steps have said, are indeed like a stratagem for alienation. In fact, General Gao and I have also admonished Duke Lu several times, hoping that Duke Lu would not go to the DPRK. But has Mr. Lu dismissed this idea of ​​Duke Lu? If that is the case, then I have to thank Mr.

Yang Hong sighed and said, "Although Duke Lu's thoughts have been dispelled, the worries about the general's life have not yet been resolved."

"Sir has repeatedly said that I have concerns for my life. What does Mr. Unknown mean? What concerns do I have for my life?"

Yang Hong said: "Dare to ask the general to retreat."

In fact, there were no outsiders in the hall. There were only two slave maids. Zhang Liao asked these two slave maids to go out.

After the two slaves came down and walked away, Yang Hong turned around and said to Zhang Liao, "General, I heard something, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"What's the matter?"

Yang Hong snorted again and said, "I heard that in the battle of Yingchuan the year before, Sun/Wentai was killed by Duke Lu because of the strategy offered by the general. If you dare to ask the general, it is true. Is it?"

Lu Bu was Sun Jian who was killed because of Zhang Liao's advice. Although neither Lu Bu nor Zhang Liao made any public announcements about this, it was really not a secret. Yang Hong heard about it, and Zhang Liao was not surprised.

He hesitated for a while, then replied: "This, this..., this cannot be said to be because of my advice. I did offer a strategy to Duke Lu at the time, but in the end I had to kill Sun Yuzhou, which was not my work. also."

Sun Jian is a famous prince in China. Because of his own strategy, Lü Bu killed him. It stands to reason that this should definitely be publicized, but the current situation is like this. Zhang Liao is not a fool. Of course, he not only refused to publicize it, And he doesn't want to take credit, preferring to keep a low profile, and then keep a low profile, so his words are very vague.

Yang Hong naturally knew the reason, and did not ask any further questions. He did not have to force Zhang Liao to admit Sun Jian's death. He was the culprit. Anyway, Zhang Liao knew it well, so he continued: "The general I said was the culprit. Fear of life is in danger, it is here."

"I'd like to hear the details, please show it."

Yang Hong seemed to be thinking and worried about Zhang Liao, and said worriedly: "Although I have temporarily dispelled the idea of ​​Duke Lu entering the court, as I said just now, Duke Lu is honest and kind, while Xun Zhenzhi is a gentleman. Resourceful man, if Xun Zhenzhi uses any other strategies, I am worried that Duke Lu still has the possibility to enter the dynasty! But if Duke Lu no longer listens to my advice and really enters the dynasty, then the At that time, not only will Duke Lu suffer unforeseen disasters, but also General you..."

"I, what happened to me?"

Yang Hong looked deeply worried and said, "Even if Sun/Wentai was not killed by the general himself, but I am worried that the merits of the general's advocacy today will become a crime of advising at that time. Sun Ce, Sun/Wen The son of Tai, Xun Zhenzhi, and Sun/Wentai are like brothers, and will kill the general to take revenge on Sun/Wentai! That's why I think that the general is now worried about his life."

Zhang Liao subconsciously reached out and stroked his beard, the expression on the young face changed, and he did not speak for a while.

Yang Hong knew that he must have been worried about this for a long time. After waiting for a long time, seeing that he did not answer, he said: "The general is young and promising, and he is extremely tough. What's more rare is that he has outstanding strategies. If a general is a general, You are both civil and military, and the General Zuo admires the general very much! I have also recommended generals to the generals of the left. But for the generals, the best way to survive at the moment, in my humble opinion, seems to be no better than to follow the left. General too!"

Zhang Liao is only 26 years old this year, and he deserves these four words when he says he is "young and promising". Looking at the current sea, as young as him, he has been a general of more than two thousand stone for a long time, and he is still the only one who leads an army, one of the few.

Zhang Liao heard what Yang Hong meant, and said in surprise, "You came to see me today, do you want to persuade me?"

Yang Hong said: "Xun Zhenzhi has a strong army and strong horses today, and he is coercing the emperor and the imperial court. Looking at today, the only ones who can compete with him are the left and right generals! The left general has 50,000 troops and occupies Nanyang. Si is strong, rushing to and rushing, like tigers and wolves begging for the Lord, and the right general echoes in the north. Although Xun Zhen's lustful power is strong, the Zuo general is not afraid of it! Now, if the general is attached to the left general, he has the protection of the left general, Not only will the general not have to worry about his life from now on, but also fame and wealth will not be difficult to obtain!"

Zhang Liao changed his color slightly and said: "Foot

Are you asking me to betray Duke Lu? "

The room was getting warmer, and Yang Hong stopped sniffing. He stroked his beard calmly and said with a smile, "I didn't want you to betray Duke Lu and turn to General Zuo, but out of love for your talents, I planned a way out for you, General. If Duke Lu had no intention of entering the dynasty, then all of this would naturally be unnecessary; but if Lu Bu really had the idea of ​​entering the dynasty again, then when the general came to Nanyang if he was willing, General Zuo would definitely walk backwards. Welcome. Besides, Duke Lu is now also a military minister of the left general, and even if the general’s heart is to the left general, how can you betray Duke Lu?”

After sending Yang Hong away, Zhang Liao returned to the room where he had eaten mutton, and the generals stood up to greet him.

After Zhang Liao sat down, the generals saw that he was uneasy, and one of them asked him, "Dare to ask the general, what did Yang Deye say to the general?"

Zhang Liao probed his chopsticks and took a piece of mutton from the pot, but he forgot to even put the dipping sauce into his mouth. He chewed it, but he didn't feel it tasteless, so he swallowed it after two bites.

The generals looked at each other.

Just now, the general asked him again: "Dare to ask the general, I don't know what Yang Hong said to the general when he came here?"

Zhang Liao came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, just tell me..."

That will ask, "What?"

Zhang Liao stretched out his chopsticks and put down the pot, picked up a piece of mutton again, and said to the generals, "Eat first, eat first."

Yang Hong's words were more euphemistic, but his intention was clearly to persuade him to betray Lu Bu and switch to Yuan Shu. Although these generals were Zhang Liao's confidants, Zhang Liao couldn't tell Yang Hong's words directly. These generals.

After eating a meal of mutton, the whole body is warm and the stomach is full. In this cold winter weather, it should be quite pleasant, but Zhang Liao is restless and confused.

Chen Gong suggested switching to Yangzhou, and today Yang Hong suggested switching to Yuan Shu. Both of them were right about one point. If Lu Bu really went to the imperial court, he would definitely not be good. But Yangzhou and Yuan Shu, these two are good candidates for switching. Choose? Was Yuan Shu really not afraid of Xun Zhen? And is Yangzhou really a promising choice? As far as Zhang Liao's heart is concerned, he actually feels that neither of them is good, and he is very hesitant.

Seeing that it was still early in the courtyard, and before evening, Zhang Liao ordered the car to be prepared.

The first general asked, "Where is the general going?"

Zhang Liao said: "Mr. Gongtai told me a while ago that he also likes to cook mutton, but he doesn't have good mutton to eat. We just got good mutton today, so I'll send him some."

The generals agreed and went to the back kitchen to take out ten catties of raw mutton.

Zhang Liao didn't ask them to accompany him, he rolled the mutton into the car, went out the door, crushed the desolate leaves on the road, and went to Chen Gong's house.

After meeting Chen Gong twice, Zhang Liao told Chen Gong what Yang Hong said when he came to see him today.

Chen Gong listened and said to Zhang Liao, "Yang Deye also came to see me yesterday. What he said to me and what he said to you are not very different in meaning. He also advised me to switch to General Zuo."

Zhang Liao has a history of killing Sun Jian, but Chen Gong has successively changed hands. He first voted for Cao Cao, then Zhang Miao, and then Lü Bu. Anyone could see that he was at odds with Xun Zhen, so Yang Hong also came to persuade him to change. Cast Yuan Shu.

As for the content of the persuasion, there is no need to worry about the lack of rhetoric. It is also based on the reason that Lv Bu might join the court. The only difference from Zhang Liao is that if Lv Bu joins the court, Zhang Liao's life will not be guaranteed, while Chen Gong is "I am afraid that the ambition will be difficult. become".

Zhang Liao said: "Yang Deye has also come to persuade Mr. Zuo to change to General Zuo? Then I don't know what Mr. means?"

"I have made up my mind!"

Zhang Liao said, "What do you mean by sir? You want to change your vote?"

Chen Gong waved his hand and said, "Yang Hong doesn't come early, doesn't come late, it's so cold, but at this moment, he came to Pingchun, first to see me, then to see you, and to persuade us to switch to Yuan Highway. Explain what?"

Zhang Liao said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Gong said: "He must have gotten the wind, Xun Zhen is probably going to attack Nanyang! And once Xunzhen uses Nanyang, Yuan Gonggong will no longer be his enemy. Isn't it stupid? So..."

Zhang Liao vaguely guessed what Chen Gong was going to say, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Yes?"

Chen Gong said, "So I have made up my mind, and I'm going to set off, head east to Danyang County, and join Liu Yangzhou." Nian Xu looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, do you want to go with me? You can't hesitate any longer. , make a quick decision."
