Chapter Seventy-Three: The Extravagant
Lu Bu angrily opened the case and left, which did not affect Yanbei in the slightest, and even when he said those words, Yanbei had already expected that Lu Bu would open the case and leave...... This is already a good consequence, and the worst plan in Yan Bei's heart is to let Lu Bu and Dian Wei fight in their own house, and they will be tied back to General Fenwu's mansion with a blue nose and swollen face.
It's good to be angry and angry. If you can, Yanbei hopes to quarrel with Yan Liangwen and the ugly judge, and after the quarrel, it will pass, like friends, everyone will walk hand in hand towards the road of pacifying the world, how good?
But national events are not ordinary bickerings like Yanbei Lu Bu, and it is even more difficult to change different beliefs. In comparison, Lu Bu did not have any political ambitions, and most of the generals and scribes who followed the tide were far better than the few soldiers under Yuan Shao who were captured by mistake.
Most people who have no ideals and ambitions like money or official positions, and then they like women more than women...... These things that seem to others to get things that are difficult to get into the blue sky are easy for Yan Bei, because he is rich in the north. Whether it is the thousand-year-old ginseng in the depths of Taihang or the Xianbei BMW in the Saibei grassland, or the Dongzhu Qingyu on the coast of the East China Sea that is regarded as a treasure by the Yi country, there is nothing he does not have or wants but cannot get.
But if it is a talent who is loyal to an ideal or the policy of a prince, it will be much more difficult to deal with in Yanbei's view.
Now under the seat of Yanbei, behind the desk not far from his side is Yanzhou scholar Chen Gong, he always inadvertently looks at the broken table not far from the couch, where the broken table and wine bowls, pottery shards, and the ground contact form a piece of cold food.
A male lord like Yanbei who rules the north, doesn't anyone clean up the mansion for him?
Perhaps it was Yan Bei's ordinary thin material that misled Chen Gong, so he gave his hand to Yan Bei and praised: "The generals and soldiers are in Sizhou, I never thought that Your Excellency was actually a person of self-denial. β
"No, Yan is not a person of self-denial, but a ......" Yan Bei smiled silently, then quickly put away his smile, and said expressionlessly: "I am afraid that there are few people in the world who are more extravagant than Yan." β
Chen Gong was puzzled, this was the second time he had seen Yanbei, and a few days ago he saw this young man in prison for the first time, the clothes and materials in his armor were also so plain, as for the precious ornaments or other enjoyments of others, Chen Gong did not see it. After he came out of Yecheng prison, what made him feel most uncomfortable was that the daily meals sent by the Jizhou warriors were the same as those in prison.
When he saw Yan Bei, he knew that he was in prison and outside the prison, and his clothing and food were the same as that of Yan Bei, the owner of Yecheng. The only ornament that can be found on the northern overlord is about the jade axe that he often plays with in his hand.
Such a person is now sitting opposite him, and in a serious tone, he says that he is the most extravagant person in the world, and if he wants to come to Chen Palace, he can only listen to this as a joke.
"Yan didn't laugh, 200,000 stone corn should be worth more than 10,000 gold according to the grain price in Jizhou, but it was just a sentence in Yan's mouth." Yan Bei raised a finger as he spoke, and said, "Most of the extravagant and greedy people in the world have their own preferences, Yan just likes the authority of soldiers and horses, and there is no need to eat and drink." β
Yan Bei shook his head and smiled, changed his tone as soon as the words changed, and asked: "Chen Gongtai, I heard that Cao Mengde is not bad for you in Yanzhou, why did you instigate Zhang Miao to welcome Feng to enter Yan first?" β
He was extremely curious about Chen Gong, in fact, there were many betrayals in this world, such as Lu Bu betraying Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao betraying Cao Cao, and even Zhang Jaw almost betrayed him, but most of these betrayers were because of the instigation of others, and they felt their own danger and uneasiness, so they abandoned the old master. But Chen Gong was different, he once relied on wisdom to advise Cao Cao under his command, but when Yanzhou was empty, he instigated Cao Cao's friend Zhang Miao, who had entrusted his family, to rebel together.
I have to say that Yan Bei really doesn't have much affection for Chen Gong, this scribe with high eyebrow bones and a slightly gloomy face, who is praised for his resourcefulness, is like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to kill people in Yan Bei's eyes.
"Cao Cao is just an emasculated legacy, not a hero, I just hate that he failed to attack Yanzhou and drive away this wolf-hearted gangster!" Speaking of Cao Cao, Chen Gong's hatred seemed to overflow from his face. Yan Bei frowned when he heard this: "Although the Cao family has eunuchs, but the ancestor is also a hero of Emperor Gao, if it is only superficially according to the family background, this world should not be all allowed to go to the original or the highway, not to mention, I am afraid that Feng Xian's background is difficult to compare with Meng De, is it because Meng De's talent and temperament are not called the master?" β
"Hmph, he has the talent to be a lord, but he doesn't have the heart of a lord!" When Chen Gong heard Yan Bei's question, he snorted with great disdain, and said angrily: "Therefore, Jiujiang is too guarded and handsome, and because of his outspokenness, Cao Agui heard that he was framed and exterminated. You can welcome him into Yan, but also welcome others! β
It seems that Chen Gong's anger towards Cao Cao did not disappear because of Lu Bu's defeat, and when he said this, he took a deep breath and said: "I heard that the shogunate of the shogunate has a book compiled by Chen Changwen, a native of Yingchuan, in which General Yan came from a humble background, but instead of being convicted for it, it became more and more useful. Now Your Excellency has 100,000 troops, if it is easy to go south to Yanzhou, Cao's loss of morality, if the general leads the army south, he will be praised, and the northern cities will open the city to welcome the general. β
Yan Bei shook his head with a smile, his heart was cold. He originally wanted Chen Gong to persuade Lu Bu, but now it seems that his calculation has completely failed. Chen Gong only answered why he rebelled against Cao Cao, but did not say why he greeted Lu Bu. Now that Lu Bu is under house arrest in Yecheng, the great cause of Chen Gongtai's invasion of Cao Cao has lost its value, so he is abandoned as if he has worn shoes for a long time.
I'm afraid that even if Lu Bu defeats Cao Cao, it will be difficult to escape the calculations of Chen Gong in the future, and Chen Gong will not have much loyalty to Lu Bu.
Now that he has used Lu Bu and used him Yan Zhongqing again, does Chen Gongtai think that these princes who started from the border are as easy to control as Lu Bu?
Lu Fengxian, Lu Fengxian, you really lowered the intelligence of the northern martial artists!
"Although Meng De was sometimes inconsiderate and a little cruel, his cruelty was only against people. A few days ago, he sent someone to deliver a message to me, hoping to kill or send LΓΌ Fengxian and Zhang Mengzhuo, who betrayed him, to Henan. Yan Bei smiled, raised his hand and took out the book on the bookcase and unfolded it to Chen Gong, and said: "But in Meng De's letter, he is the only one who has repeatedly told Yan to Chen Gongtai, even if he is unwilling to send Lu Zhang and the others to Henan, he must be kind to you, Chen Gongtai!" β
As he spoke, Yan Bei threw the letter on the desk at will, pointed to the cold stain on one side of the hall and said: "I invited Feng to come to the banquet during the morning meal, and there, he kicked over Yan's desk, and I wanted you to persuade him, but now it seems that ...... You don't care about Feng Xian's life or death, so you can only go to Yan in person. β
After saying that, Yan Bei got up, and raised his hand to the stunned Chen Gong and made a gesture of sending off guests.
