Solved the problem of the escort team, and Lu Xiu, as the host, set up a banquet in the capital to wash Zheng Peng's dust.

After the three of them sat down, they toasted each other, ate food, and said some gonzo stories, the scene was very harmonious, and seeing that the timing was about the same, Lu Xiu said: "Many people say that our martial artists are vulgar, Deputy Supervisor Zheng, what do you think?" ”

"Not necessarily, there are many generals who are both civil and military, for example, Zhang Yushi is a living model, and he is a general." Zheng Peng said with a smile.

"That is, like us generals, who have not carefully studied the military books and deduced the major battles of the past dynasties, such as "Liutao", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "The Art of War" These art of war, just can't be memorized backwards, and they are also familiar" Speaking of this, Lu Xiu's voice changed and asked: "By the way, Deputy Supervisor Zheng, I don't know which military book you like to read?" ”

The test is coming.

Zheng Peng smiled bitterly and said very frankly: "The military books mentioned by the Protector of Lu Du are all classics of the predecessors, and I have never had the opportunity to read them, but unfortunately, I will ask the Protector of Lv Du to give me more advice in the future." ”

Obviously, Lu Xiu was testing his military literacy, which was originally an opportunity to be in the limelight and gain the appreciation of Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong, but Zheng Peng still didn't seize it.

The idea of wanting to join the army suddenly came to me, and I wanted to buy a copy of "The Art of War" on the way to make up for it, but the carriage was upside down, my eyes were spent for a while, and the whole person was dizzy, and I couldn't stand it at all.

It is impossible to fool the past, Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong are both veterans of the battlefield, and a few problems can be exposed, which will be even more embarrassing.

Anyway, from the beginning, it was said that this is an observation and experience, and there is no need to hide it.

"Well said, well said." Lu Xiu smiled, and had another layer of understanding of Zheng Peng's military literacy.

Zhang Xiaosong laughed and said: "Deputy Supervisor Zheng is a talented man, and it is really difficult for Lu Du to take the test of the art of war, and he will also test his knowledge." ”

"Okay, then please ask Zhang Yushi to take the test, and let me also see the literary talent of Zheng Dacai." Lu Xiu said with a smile.

"Take the test, Deputy Superintendent Zheng, you won't mind, right?"

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Zheng Peng didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "Great talents are all false names, you can't take it seriously, how can Zhang Yushi mind, I'm afraid that I, a little music official, am not a shallow musician, and I can't satisfy Zhang Yushi." ”

Regardless of whether the two of them are testing or deliberately embarrassing themselves, this foreign appearance is really decided.

Only when you have confidence can you cope with it freely, but when it comes to real skills, it is really a shortcoming.

If you put forward the word music official earlier, you can't answer it, and you have to go down the steps.

The advantage of lowering your posture is that it doesn't hurt when you fall.

Zhang Xiaosong said "too modest", and then asked: "There is a conquest or no war, and there is an opportunity to control the emperor; Evil killing is good for life, and it contains the principle of pavilion education. The evening version of the wall, the soldiers cook in the morning, the source of the river is still restored, and the north gate is not opened; Qiaosu seaside, the eastern suburbs are not open. Fang Yi drove the long hub and climbed Longlong, built a high flag and pointed to the plug, the sound of the sky vibrated and hung each other. The husband is in the spring and the snow is in the sun, the cold canopy is easy to roll, and now he wants to be a pioneer to induce, temporarily suspend the military punishment, write the arrow and go down to the ministers, blow the flute and return the captive to ride. What should I do? ”

When Zheng Peng heard this, the whole person was a little confused.

The meaning of this passage is not difficult to understand, it is about: the two armies are fighting, the death is very large, if you can do the battle and surrender the soldiers, this is the real victor, recently there have been many foreign enemies harassing the national border, and the imperial court is discussing the matter of conquest. If the war is stopped through diplomatic channels, so that the imperial court does not send soldiers, it will not only avoid the loss of lives, but also save a lot of treasury expenditures, which will benefit the country and the people. What advice can you give to the problem at hand?

The meaning Zheng Peng understands, but Zhang Kaosong is in the way of asking questions, this is a kind of test question of the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Peng doesn't know what format to answer.

It's really unexpected, Zheng Peng thought that Zhang Xiaosong made a proposition and ordered himself to compose poems, thinking that most of them were poems related to Biansai, and they were all ready to plagiarize a good poem, so as to save a little face, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaosong to be unexpected, and he tested himself in the way of the imperial examination.

Zhang Xiaosong's trick is powerful, there is martial arts in the exam question Chinese, just touching Zheng Peng's hole card, it is simply a stick on Zheng Peng's "seven inches".

Zheng Peng opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, and his whole face was a capital embarrassment.

When Lu Xiu saw it, he knew it in his heart, and took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said: "Drinking and drinking, it's rare to have a good meal, we martial artists are most afraid of testing this and that, no matter how much you say, there is no more interesting wine in the cup, come, do it." ”

On the surface, he was solving Zheng Peng's difficulties, and he had already made plans in his heart: this Zheng Peng, who is not a martial artist, just relies on His Majesty's favor, and I don't know if he is curious when he runs here, or if he runs here to add luster to his resume.

In the future, when arranging work, you have to arrange it well, don't expect Zheng Peng to help in the military, thank God if you don't help.

Zhang Xiaosong glanced at Zheng Peng out of the corner of his eye, and quickly raised his wine glass and said: "The three of us can get together here, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. ”

"Both of them are my predecessors, and this cup is for me to respect the two, and I will do it first." Zheng Peng tilted his head and drank the wine in the amber glass.

The Western Regions are rich in grape aged wine, with a refreshing taste and rich fruity aroma, which is a first-class good wine, but when it comes to Zheng Peng's mouth, it becomes a little bitter.

Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong took the initiative to step down for themselves, but Zheng Peng knew that in the eyes of the two, he really became dispensable, and if there was any good errand, it would not be his turn.

Although he is still smiling, he can use his ass to think that it is for Li Longji's sake: Zheng Peng can face the saint and go straight to the saint, Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong are also considered to be members of the party, they have been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and they are exquisite officials, but they don't deliberately please or deliberately offend.

This dust washing feast, Zheng Peng didn't eat it, not long after eating, the three of them ended very tacitly, Zhang Xiaosong had something to do to go to the Beiting Mansion, and after Zheng Peng rested, he also had to go to the station of the tiger head team to receive it.

Outside the Anxi Protectorate, Kuro and his own people went to a party, only Guo Ziyi and A Jun were waiting outside the door, and the two chatted while nibbling on the unique flatbread of the Western Regions:

"Ah Jun, your young master has been in for some time, right?"

"It's been more than two hours."

Guo Ziyi looked at the dry flatbread in his hand, and then looked at the heavily guarded gate of the Duhufu, and said with some envy: "The third child has been in for so long, he is the minister of the Qincha, maybe this guy is drinking wine, and the beautiful woman is hugging, and he doesn't want to think that we are gnawing on cold flatbread in the cold wind, which is really excessive." ”

Ah Jun looked at the gate of the Metropolitan Protectorate and said with some concern: "The six major Protectors of the Western Regions, the other five Metropolitan Protectors may treat each other with courtesy, as for the Anxi Metropolitan Protector Lu Xiu, his bones are upright, even if there is a banquet, it is not a good banquet." ”

"Hey, Ah Jun, do you know this Lu Du escort?" Guo Ziyi said with some surprise.

"I don't know, I was fortunate to see him lead his troops on the battlefield back then." As Ah Jun spoke, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling the eventful years of the past.

Guo Ziyi was about to inquire about the situation back then, and accidentally saw the door of the Duhu Mansion open, Zheng Peng walked out with some frivolous steps, and he didn't care about inquiring, so he hurriedly walked up to support him, and whispered: "Third brother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, get in the car." Zheng Peng's steps were a little floating, but his mind was still very clear.

The degree of the wine is not high, and it has little effect on Zheng Peng.

After getting into the carriage and Ah Jun rushing to the car, Guo Ziyi looked at Zheng Peng's somewhat complicated expression, and couldn't help asking: "I've been in for so long, I thought you were trapped in a gentle nest, looking at your look, this visit doesn't seem to be very pleasant." ”

"Big brother, if you are hung for an hour, embarrassed for half an hour, and hypocritical for half an hour, even you can't keep your relationship happy." Zheng Peng said self-deprecatingly.

When Guo Ziyi heard this, he said comfortingly: "It's not a circle, it's difficult to eat in the same pot, Zhang Xiaosong and the envoys of each capital have a good run-in, the court suddenly sent a deputy, and I wasn't happy to change anyone, by the way, when did Zhang Yushi say to send troops?" ”

If you could afford it, you would have asked people to take Guo Ziyi and others in, and serve the food and drinks, but Guo Ziyi and A Jun, who were Zheng Peng's personal guards, had been blowing the cold wind outside the door, and Guo Ziyi had already guessed that Zheng Peng's line would not be very smooth.

Zheng Peng didn't hide it, and told him a rough story about what he had just done.

"What?" Guo Ziyi said in surprise: "Tiger head team? They sent the Tiger Head Team to the third brother as a guard? ”
