Li Li didn't have much impression of him at first, but he felt a little familiar. Later, in the hurry, Li Li remembered that there was indeed this person in the annals of history.

Zhenggu, the word white rabbit, a native of Jizhou, one of the head of the Black Mountain thieves. Last year, Zheng Gu led the crowd to conspire with Yuan Shu and joined forces with Yanzhou Assassin Shi Jinshang to attack Cao Cao in Dongjun, but was defeated by Cao Cao. Among them is Li Li's figure, because when he was crowned the princes of the world last year, he did not give the position of Yanzhou Assassin to Cao Cao, but sold Yuan Shu a face, and gave the Yanzhou Assassin History to Jin Shang, who was recommended by Yuan Shu, which prompted Yuan Shu and Jin Shang to contact Montenegro Zhenggu to lead troops to attack Cao Cao in Dongjun. After the defeat, Jin Shang was destroyed by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu withdrew his troops and returned to the south, and the casualties of the Zhenggu Department were the heaviest, and then led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee to Jizhou for temporary refuge, and met Li Li and his party.

Historically, after the defeat of the Zhenggu army, he took refuge in Jizhou for half a year, and then led his troops to Hanoi to Zhang Yang. In the third year of Jian'an, that is, in 198, when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting, Zhang Yang wanted to lead his troops to meet the rescue, but was killed by the general Yang Chou, and then Yang Chou led Zhang Yang's troops to defect to Cao Cao, and was killed by Zheng Gu halfway. In the following year, Cao Cao sent his generals Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Ban and Shi Jian to lead troops to besiege the Zhengu Division, and the two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, and finally the Zhenggu army was defeated and killed.

This is the life of the remnants of the Yellow Turban and the head of the Black Mountain thieves in the annals, and in a few strokes, it is not difficult to see that this person does have some ability and performs remarkably. In particular, he led his troops to fight fiercely with Cao Cao's four generals for more than a month, although he was finally defeated and killed, it shows that he is extremely extraordinary, at least he is worthy of Cao Cao to send four generals to besiege and kill.

It's just that Zhenggu was born as a yellow turban thief after all, and he is not liked by historians, let alone the eyes of the ruling class, so it is rare to write down his life in a few notes.

Relying solely on the fact that the Zhenggu command could fight with the four generals under Cao Cao's command, Li Li would take Zhenggu under his command. Because in his opinion. The things of the world are man-made, talent is the foundation, and man will win the day; The annals of history are the merits of the victors, and the losers are reduced to stepping stones. Although he was born as a thief, he is quite capable; After a little training, coupled with the powerful soldiers of the Xiliang Army, if he fights again in a different place, it is unknown whether Zhenggu will be defeated and killed.

Drunken Immortal Liquor Shop.

This tavern is just across the street from the old store in Seongnam. Walk out of the main entrance of the inn and walk more than ten steps to arrive.

In the elegant seat on the second floor, Li Li, Li Xuan and Ma Yunluo sat in the window position, and they could take in the things around the alley when they raised their eyes. Although the three of them wanted a seat, they were not elegant. It's still a square table with four benches. There are four tables in one room. It's still full of people coming and going, and it's quite noisy. However, compared to the downstairs lobby with a dozen tables, the scene of dozens of people sitting around the table is better, at least not as noisy as downstairs.

The nightlife of the Han Dynasty was relatively boring, and there was not much entertainment. Usually high-ranking officials and nobles would choose to sell kaki and maiko, and the wives and concubines were in groups, so that they could entertain themselves in their own courtyards. Relatively speaking, ordinary people are places where ordinary people can go out at night to have fun. Generally, there are only two places, one is a wine shop, a teahouse, and the other is a Fengyue place, that's all.

Like Li Li, he rarely goes in and out of wine shops, teahouses, and Fengyue places, if not at all. The reason for this is that he is busy with military and political affairs and has no spare time; Second, there is everything in the mansion, and you can't do it. Sitting in a wine shop and drinking like this today is already an exception for Li Li.

"Oooo

"Hey, Childe is here too!" As a sound of footsteps approached, Zhen took his four daughters into the second floor of the private seat, the youngest daughter Zhen Mi did not follow, as soon as they went upstairs, they saw Li Li and the three. So she walked over with a slightly shocked expression, and bowed and said, "The son is fine, and the concubine is polite." ”

Li Li smiled and bowed, but did not get up, still sitting on the east side, and said with a smile: "Madame, please be polite, the four young ladies are fine, I didn't expect that your mother and daughter also came to the wine shop to sit in this Yaxing, you don't need to greet us, Madame, Miss, please." ”

For Li Li's personality of liking to stand up, Zhen's mother and daughter have seen it many times, and since they met in the morning, Li Li has always done his own thing. Therefore, Zhen didn't care, and after saying hello, he took his four daughters to sit down in the west seat, separated from Li Li and the three of them by a table and an aisle.

Seeing Zhen's mother and daughter leaving, and the fragrance they left in the air, Li Li couldn't help but shrug his nose, but saw Li Xuan still standing across from him stupidly, staring at Zhen Dao's graceful back with his eyes. Suddenly, Li Li said with a dumb smile: "Okay Yuanzhong, everyone has already sat down, you can also sit down." I promise you that you will be able to get your wish and never break your promise! ”

"Really? Didn't you prevaricate with me? Li Xuan asked in a lost voice when he heard this. He didn't blush now, anyway, Li Li already knew that he liked Zhen Dao, and Ma Yunluo was not an outsider, so he didn't twist at all, and asked directly. What's more, such a love affair between men and women is justified, and there is nothing to be told about.

Li Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Uncle, how can such a smart person as you talk nonsense!" I've always said the same thing, but when have I ever told a lie? Don't worry, I said that if you want to hold the beauty, you will definitely do what you say. If you can't get married, I'll send someone to rob it, it's all right! ”

"Well, that's a way to do that, too!" Hearing Li Li's words, Li Xuan was not the slightest surprised, but nodded in agreement. Only then did he sit down peacefully, diligently poured Li Li a glass of wine, and said matter-of-factly: "Childe, your eldest brother's lifelong happiness depends on you, I toast you with a glass of wine!" ”

"Haha!" Li Xuan's behavior like this made Li Li and Ma Yunluo look at each other, and then the two glanced at each other and laughed.

????????????

"Engong is good at everything, but the shelf is too big, it's really annoying!" Just as Li Li, Li Xuan and Ma Yunluo were laughing, Zhen's fourth daughter Zhen Rong sat down and pouted and said.

Zhen chuckled and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Rong'er, you are still too young to understand the world. Wenchang is not a big shelf, but a good background and a noble status, and usually only others salute him. And he never bowed to others easily. It's just that you didn't see any of this, but thought he was too big and rude; In the future, you must not do this, and you must not speak rashly, lest you suffer losses in the future. ”

"Ahh Zhen Rong was shocked when she heard this, and after seeing Zhen's eyes, she asked in a low voice: "Mother, you said that Engong has a noble status, what kind of person is he, is he higher than our family's status?" ”

"You kid is talking nonsense!" Zhen rebuked his fourth daughter Zhen Rong with a displeased expression. said softly: "Our Zhen family is somewhat famous in Jizhou, and it can be regarded as the home of an official eunuch, plus Wei Niang has accumulated a lot of contacts over the years. It's just that the world is so big, and every state and county has high-ranking officials. Some families are even famous families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. In the eyes of these families, our Zhen family is just a wealthy businessman's family. It's a family that doesn't enter the stream at all. It can't be called a famous family. In fact, for many years, our Zhen family has relied on inheriting the remnants of our ancestors and has been able to inherit 2,000 stone sylvestres, so that it is regarded by the world as the home of the eunuchs. In fact, now our Zhen family has to rely on business to maintain the family's integrity. Broaden the network, so as to be based in Jizhou.

It's a pity that the male in the family withered, and there have been no officials who worship the county guard or the minister of state for many generations, and when your father was alive, he was just an official to worship Cai Ling. Nowadays, there are very few men, only your second brother Zhen Yanju is filial piety and serves in the county government. In addition, there is no male in our Zhen family, and if this continues, it is inevitable that the family will fall behind. What's more, now that the world is chaotic and the princes are divided, the situation of our Zhen family is becoming more and more dangerous, and it is in danger of overturning at any time. Therefore, we must be careful to accumulate money and food in the hope that we can marry the princes in the future, so as to ensure that the Zhen family will be passed on from generation to generation. ”

After hearing Zhen's words, the four girls beside Zhen lowered their heads gloomily, listlessly sandwiching the dishes on the table, but they were tasteless. As women from a family, they know their future destiny, and they must marry the eunuch's family to seek benefits for the family. This is the fate of almost all women from official families, who are born noble, enjoy the brocade clothes and jade food given by the family when they are young, and command them to seek benefits for the family when they grow up, almost without exception.

Perhaps this is the common fate of the children of the family, and while enjoying the fruits of the family, we must be ready to dedicate ourselves to the family. This is both a blessing and a misfortune; In other words, there is no unearned enjoyment in the world, and there must be something to pay in the enjoyment. This is an unbreakable truth that has been unshakable for thousands of years, and it has been true since ancient times.

Seeing the sullen appearance of the four daughters, Zhen sighed secretly, and said softly: "Don't think too much, think about the good in everything, don't be too pessimistic." Maybe in the future, you will all find the ideal home, not only to contribute to the family, but also to find a husband who loves you, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! Just like Zheng Feng in front of him, tall and handsome, he can do whatever he wants, as if nothing in the world can stump him. Even the few people who followed him, thinking that his mother had seen people for many years, these people were not ordinary people, either strong in martial arts or witty. In troubled times, such a person will prosper sooner or later if he does not worry about the day when he does not get ahead. If you find such a husband, you will not object to it, but will be happy to see it; As for what you do, it's not for me to do it for you. Anyway, Wei Niang is very optimistic about Zheng Feng and his party, but these people are secretive, no matter how I try, they don't miss a bit, it's very strange! ”

Sure enough, after hearing Zhen's words, the four daughters of the Zhen family couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Li and the others, and their expressions became relaxed.

Seeing this, Zhen couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and without a trace, he turned his head to look at Li Li, who was sitting in front of the window talking and laughing, and a trace of extremely secret shame flashed under his eyes.

As a person who has come over, Zhen can naturally see that the three people around Li Li have been courteous in front of their daughters before, which means that she knows it. It's just that before figuring out the identities of these people, she won't make any statements, let alone fake the colors of Li Li's three entourage. But she didn't hide it from her daughters, and showed her tone a little, asking them to explore the origin of Zheng Feng and others, and then make a plan after finding out the details. If Zheng Feng and the others really have a big identity, then what she just said to her daughter will naturally be fulfilled; If Li Li and the others are from an average background, or they have not yet made a career and are still looking for a way out, then it is another matter.

After all, the Zhen family is the largest family in Zhongshan Kingdom, with a heritage of more than 100 years. In Jizhou and even the entire Central Plains, if it is only about the family background of the officials, the Zhen family may not have an advantage, but it is also a big family with a head and a face; If it is based on the financial resources of the family alone, the Zhen family is definitely one of the few wealthy families in the entire Central Plains states.

It can be seen that although the Zhen family is a woman, as the head of the Zhen family, she has her own unknown means and scheming. Otherwise, the Zhen family will not become more and more prosperous over the years, and the family resources will become more and more solid, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a consortium.
