Chapter 0470 - Self-Deception
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of "Shi Zai Hui"!
"Driving ......!!!"
The starry night is like a candle, and the loess is concave and convex.
The wind blew across his face, Zhang Yuan quickly whipped past the black shadows, and the yellow sand rustled.
A city appeared in front of you, getting bigger and bigger, like a beast entrenched in the dark, as the snow lion approached, the light became bigger and bigger, almost 100 meters away and stopped under the city wall, at this time the city gate has been closed, and there are all kinds of tents outside the city, and the players gather here to be lively.
"Who are you? The gates are closed, come back tomorrow!! "The voice of the adjutant general sounded on the city walls.
Zhang Yuan clenched his fists and said: "I am General Weixi Zhang Yuan, Zhang Zhengyuan, may I ask General Zheng Ji is there!?" ”
"General, please! Subordinates go and report here! "As soon as he heard Zhang Yuan's words, the deputy general didn't dare to hold it up, there was a little more respect in his words, and he left in a hurry as soon as the words fell, and went straight to the city gate tower, this subtle performance Zhang Yuan saw it in his eyes, his eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and he said secretly: 'I actually live on the city gate tower, it seems that this time here does not seem to be very peaceful!' Wait a minute, I hope there won't be a big incident, otherwise ......! ’
Thinking of Zhang Guan, Li Dai and others who were following behind him and preparing to return, Zhang Yuan's heart, which was originally relieved by returning to the Han Dynasty, suddenly hung up.
“haha……!”
Soon, the city gate opened, Zheng Ji walked out with two lieutenants, and Zhang Yuan greeted him.
"Unexpectedly, Brother Zheng Yuan rushed back in the starry night, and he missed the distance, please forgive one or two sins!"
"How dare you, it was Zhang who took the liberty to ask for a drink, I don't know if Brother Zheng Ji is willing?"
The two hugged intimately, looked at each other and smiled.
Zheng Ji and Zhang Yuan walked in side by side and said, "Brother Zhengyuan has returned from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. I think it's a victory, and someone has already put down a celebration banquet, and please appreciate your face! ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
The two of them went up to the city gate tower, the city wall is not high, but the city gate tower is very wide, and a few people are not too crowded to sit at all.
Sit down, Zhang Yuan sat on the left side, one by one the soldiers served a plate of wine and meat, a fragrance spread in the small hall, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel his appetite. These days are either big battles or rushes, but I don't eat well.
Zheng Ji picked up the wine jue, raised it to Zhang Yuan and said: "Xiangyuan has been in turmoil recently, and it is quite simple to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack. Unable to sing and dance to celebrate, a certain self-punished three cups here. Please forgive me! ”
"Brother Zheng Ji is too polite. Let's just drink these three cups with you! Zhang Yuan is not a hypocritical person, he didn't say much and directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After three glasses, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their attitude, which had seemed a little distant and respectful, was suddenly diluted a lot. Both of them are military people, they already have a bloody nature, and they have a common language, so they are born with commonality. Under such an intentional friendship, it is natural to have a little more real intimacy, and everything is self-evident.
Putting down the wine lord, Zhang Yuan threw out the doubts in his heart and smelled: "Zhang Mou returned from the north and south, and the road can be regarded as calm, I don't know what enemies this Xiangyuan City has encountered?!" ”
"It's all some little thieves, don't worry!" Zheng Ji waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say more.
Zhang Yuan didn't ask either, after all, this is someone's own business, and it hurts his feelings if he asks too much, so he said: "I haven't met the Han Dynasty these days, and I don't know what the recent movements of the Han Dynasty are?" Please also ask Brother Zheng Ji to give advice! ”
Zheng Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "Since my brother asked, I don't lie to my brother, the current Han Dynasty is not ...... peaceful!" ”
As he spoke, Zheng Ji shook his head and sighed, looking at Zhang Yuan's eyes made Zhang Yuan feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said secretly: "There doesn't seem to be anything going on in Xihe City, could it be the ...... of the court!" ’
Zhang Yuan said again: "Please also ask Brother Zheng Ji to teach!" ”
Zheng Ji didn't hide it or talk about it, and asked directly: "Brother Zhengyuan has offended the Lu family?" ”
Sure enough! Zhang Yuan's heart jumped, and a figure flashed in his mind, Lu Su, Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, and said: "I had some contacts with Lu Su of the Lu family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the two sides were not happy!" However, it was Zhang who suffered a loss......! ”
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything after that, one thing Ma Yun did was very hidden, Zhang Yuan believed that Lu Su would not guess who did it, and second, he did suffer a loss on the surface, but the Lu family was powerful in the Han Dynasty, although from Zheng Ji's words, the Lu family seemed to be targeting him, but Zheng Ji dared to tell him, so the matter was not as serious as he believed, and he naturally would not completely tear his face with them, and it was naturally difficult to say that the Lu family was not.
However, without the latter words, Zheng Ji understood.
"Don't say much, please be cautious in the future! It's best to go back as soon as possible! Zheng Ji nodded slightly, but there were many taboos in it, and Zheng Ji didn't dare to arrange the Lu family, looked around, and told Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan knew that Zheng Ji had good intentions, so he picked up the wine lord and said: "Don't thank you for your kindness, you will do it first to respect ......!" ”
"Ding, congratulations to the player for gaining the favor of the historical star Zheng Ji, +10 favorability!"
Now the Lu family is becoming more and more powerful, and a single sentence of power leaning towards the government and the opposition is not enough to describe it, which has its own Liu Bang's intention, and it is also the trend of the times, because the world has just been unified, but the dynasty has not really calmed down, the dark tide is surging, all kinds of shili are tangled together, that is, Liu Bang also has to be careful, at this time, it is natural to launch someone to do things, and this person is Lu Hou, also the Lu family! In this way, Liu Bang has a lot of room for maneuver when manipulating.
In this way, the power of the Lu family has greatly expanded, and Zhang Yuan must now be pinned under the wings of the Han Dynasty, so naturally he cannot confront the Lu family at this time.
After three rounds of drinking, the banquet came to an end, and the relationship between the two sides seemed to have improved dramatically.
After Zhang Yuan left, Zheng Ji's lieutenant Cheng said in a low voice: "General, you are under the command of General Fan Xu, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to entertain Zhang Yuan like this!" ”
Fan Hao is the brother-in-law of Empress Lu, and the trust of Liu Bang and Empress Lu is deep, and his status is much higher than that of Xi Juan.
Zheng Ji waved his hand, looked into the distance with far-reaching eyes, stood up and said, "Go, go out for a walk with me!" ”
"Whoa!" The two walked out one after the other, slowly walking along the city wall.
Zheng Ji suddenly said, "What do you think of Zhang Yuan?" ”
"The talent of a general. It's just that it's a stranger, and his subordinates can't see through it! Yu Cheng held his breath in his heart, heard Zheng Ji speak, thought about it and said: "However, this Zhang Yuan is talented, and if he says something disrespectful, he is afraid that he will not be able to come out in the Han Dynasty!" ”
Zheng Ji knew what he was alluding to, Yu Chengnai was his confidant, and Zheng Ji did not hide his attitude, and said: "Then do you know that I weishenme after knowing such a situation." Still receive Zhang Yuan like this? ”
"My subordinates don't know!" Yu Cheng was puzzled, he couldn't figure this out, and followed Zheng Ji's side, although he was no stranger to things in the court, so he dissuaded Zheng Ji.
"Ben Xin'er!" Zheng Ji said lightly: "If some things are taken care of so much, they will fall behind!" Teach you a little more. We are military generals, and the kings above the court are disturbing us, and we must not interfere! What about the Lu family's power leaning towards the government and the opposition? What about suppressing Zhang Yuan? What does it have to do with me? ”
"This ......!" Yu Cheng was anxious when he heard this. How can it not be related? Isn't his own general afraid of being suppressed by the way?
"You. Or just a person who got it, using your brain is not suitable for you, and when you have to use your brain that day, it means that your death is not far away! So, follow me in the future and help me kill! Zheng Ji saw that Yu Cheng still didn't understand his words. said: "Let me ask you, who is the biggest in this Han Dynasty!" ”
Yu Cheng didn't think about it and said, "Bixia! ”
Zheng Ji said: "That's right, Zhang Yuan can't die." Moreover, even if Zhang Yuan is dead, it has nothing to do with us, we are swords under the command of the general, and this is not something that can be changed by a meal of wine and meat! ”
At this time, Yu Cheng suddenly felt that he understood, but he didn't know how to describe it, so he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
Zheng Ji didn't look at him, saying that he had already crossed the line here, and some things couldn't be said too clearly.
In fact, Zheng Ji did not say one thing, that is, from the beginning, when Lu Su did not return to the Han Dynasty, his intersection with Zhang Yuan may fall into the eyes of some well-intentioned people.
On the other side, Zhang Yuan was lying on the bed, after a day and a night of hurrying, he didn't feel sleepy, and his eyes seemed to see through the darkness in the dark.
The scenes at the banquet came to his mind, and although there were not many things Zheng Ji said, it was concise and profound, and it was not difficult for Zhang Yuan to think of his current situation in the Han Dynasty, and it was not the time to zuihou, but the situation was not optimistic.
"Damn Lu Su! I knew that I would have killed you in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so what could I do? Sure enough, as a superior person, he doesn't care about any evidence at all, he only needs a suspicion to attack the other party, tsk, in fact, why am I not like this? It's a pity, the victim is me, huh! So, don't blame me for thinning your face and fighting back! Zhang Yuan thought of the depths, and smashed a punch in the air, and after smashing it, he felt a burst of frustration, in the final analysis, Liliang was too weak.
"However, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple......!"
After venting, Zhang Yuan also calmed down, and his whole thinking became clearer.
There was no one in the court, and although Zheng Ji said it clearly, it was not clearly placed there after all, Zhang Yuan could not accurately judge the current situation, he could only think of the worst.
"In this, I'm afraid that it's not just Lu Su who can do it, among them there may be Xiao He, Zhang Liang, my popularity is really not ordinary!" Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly, this sentence is just self-deprecation, a large part of it is actually because of identity, alien! Since ancient times, there has been a saying that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!
Inhumans and aborigines seem to be the same race, but there is a chasm that cannot be ignored!
Zhang Yuan's growth is too fast and too fast, and it is normal to arouse the vigilance of the aborigines, which is an inevitable situation in the development of any shili, but Zhang Yuan's identity has expanded this situation many times.
Zhang Yuan was not afraid of this, the ambition in his heart was stimulated, he thought that anyway, the three people within the Han Dynasty who could almost control the entire dynasty and Shili were hostile, so let him fight against the water.
"Forget it, don't deceive yourself anymore, in fact, in addition to the three, the ruler of the Han Dynasty is afraid that this matter also has a heart, right? Liu Bang, Liu Bang, I really can't trust it! People are like this, the scar is good and forgets the pain! It's just three things, I hope you don't stop me when I leave, otherwise don't blame me for turning the entire Han Dynasty upside down at that time! ’
Zhang Yuan secretly thought, if he didn't expect the current situation, it would be impossible, Liu Bang is love and also needs these generals, Zhang Yuan is also a stranger who buys horse bones on behalf of Liu Bang's daughter, but if Zhang Yuan grows up too fast, Liu Bang still knows how to make trade-offs, and this situation is an explanation.
Although Zheng Ji didn't say much, it showed that the matter was not as serious as he imagined, but Zhang Yuan knew that it was definitely not as simple as he imagined, but it had not reached the point of tearing his face.
Zhang Yuan was almost certain that this was most likely a temptation by Liu Bang. (To be continued......)
