Chapter 856 Talking about Jiangdong Zhuge's service
Liu Bei leaned forward curiously, supported his right elbow on the desk, and asked with his fingers holding his chin:
"How do you say this?"
Zhuge Jin fully felt Liu Bei's respect and respect for himself from these small actions. This feeling was really good, especially after Sun Jian received a considerable cold treatment, the enthusiasm and attention Liu Bei showed made Zhuge Jin feel even more heartwarming.
"Sir, it's true that the Jiangdong clans are relatively group, but the Sun family is not considered a big clan in Jiangdong. In the mouths of many people, they have heard the saying "The son of a melon farmer dares to say he is expensive." This shows that Jiangdong has a strong concept of portals."
Liu Bei couldn't help but shake his head: "How can a person's origin be controlled by himself? It's a big mistake. Whether a person's noble lies in his own actions. Don't you see that the father of a saint is not a saint?"
Zhuge Jin smiled: "What the Lord said is very good. Keeping noble and being arrogant is the way to perish. Therefore, Xu Gong, Wang Lang and others are not worthy of it. However, it is difficult for Jiangdong to unify before these people are completely defeated! Jiangdong is not convinced internally, and Sun Jian is forced by externally. Cai Mao supports Liu Yao, trying to block Sun Jian's pace of rule over Jiangdong. Therefore, Jiangdong is difficult to handle!"
Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The unification of Jiangdong was definitely not a good thing for Liu Bei. Liu Bei had even planned to send troops to Changsha. However, Cai Mao sent a letter to Liu Bei, suggesting that Liu Bei should not overly weaken Sun Jian, otherwise Cao Cao would have one more restrainer.
"Oh, how do Ziyu thinks of Sun Jian and Liu Yao?" Sun Qian asked slowly for Liu Bei.
Zhuge Jin found that Liu Bei's body seemed to be poking forward more and more. It seemed that Liu Bei really cared about this matter!
"Liu Yao is a noble person, a person with a noble background, a calm and tenacious person, and a gentle and humble personality, and has the spirit of an elder. Unfortunately, Liu Yao came too late. In addition, the xenophobic sentiment of the Jiangdong clan was very serious, so Liu Yao was destined to be difficult to achieve great things."
Sun Qian blinked and said, "But I heard that Xu Gong and Wang Lang are both giving money to support Liu Yao in confrontation with Sun Jian! How do you say that Liu Yao was rejected?"
"Haha, that's because they wanted to put the war in Danyang County, so this was the case. In fact, they did not send any troops. If they had military perspective, if Liu Yao had spare energy, he could have raided the Poyang area from the southern part of Yuzhang. Sun Jian could not take care of it, but Xu Gong and Wang Lang did not do this, so that they could tell their true plans."
Liu Bei nodded vigorously: "So, Cai Mao is also supporting Liu Yao. Will Sun Jian be in a slump?"
"No, either. Sun Jian is a tenacious person, with ambition to rush to the world, and is also brave and powerful in his command. He has no shortage of civil and military talents. Recently, Zhang Hong from Jiangbei has been promoted to the success of many scholars in Jiangbei, such as Chen Duan, Qin Song and others, have also contributed to the success of Sun Jian. Sun Jian's power has been established and he will not be able to recover because of one or two failures."
Liu Bei silently pinched the beard on his chin and his brows slowly frowned. His dark and old face looked a little bitter and grudged, and his expression of worrying about the country and the people made people feel a little ashamed.
"Lord, the Han Dynasty has a prosperous cultural heritage and many talents emerge. From this perspective, the Han Dynasty has achieved success in its education! The sages often say that the stronger the enemy, the more it can inspire our ambitions, and the more we can make us move forward. The lord is ambitious. How could he be afraid of these powerful enemies?"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "I understand what Gongyou said, but the people are just not guilty. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little sad."
"Sir, this is impossible. If it is turbulent today, people are full of hearts and hearts. If there is no turmoil, it is unlikely to have great governance. As a royal noble, he has the ambition to support the country and should encourage himself. How can he lose the righteousness of the world because of a single thought of kindness?"
Zhuge Jin also spoke out to comfort and persuade Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei very happy. He immediately followed Zhuge Jin's words: "What Ziyu taught me is that I was humble in my life, I was ignorant when I was young, and I had been young. Now I am ignorant. Although I have the ambition to support the world, my ability is limited. I hope that Ziyu can do it for the sake of the people of the world and the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and I can not dislike my vulgarity, help me achieve unparalleled achievements, and give all the people of the world a peaceful and happy man!"
Zhuge Jin looked at Liu Bei who quickly moved to the side of the desk and bowed down, feeling a little at a loss, but this feeling of being valued and being slightly overrespected is really good.
Zhuge Jin turned his head to look at Sun Gan. Sun Gan nodded with a smile and signaled Zhuge Jin not to refuse. Zhuge Jin gritted his teeth, bowed his hands solemnly, bowed deeply, and said, "You are so knowledgeable, and you can be valued by the adults. You are so afraid. You are so proud of it. You dare not do your best to serve you!"
Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately straightened up and laughed loudly. He quickly stepped forward to help Zhuge Jin up. The unconcealed happy smile on his face made Zhuge Jin feel warm.
"Now that Ziyu will not give up helping me, great things are expected. Gongyou, let me continue to hold a banquet to welcome Ziyu tonight. Everyone is coming, so you are not allowed to be absent!"
"Haha, I know my lord. I haven't drunk for a long time. I guess everyone will come."
...................................................................................
Liu Bei held a big banquet that night to greet Zhuge Jin, and also introduced the generals to Zhuge Jin to get to know each other. On the second day, Zhuge Jin was appointed as the head of Bo Cao and was in charge of Liu Bei's administrative affairs. This was an example of reaching the top of the sky, which immediately increased Zhuge Jin's loyalty by five points.
Although Zhuge Jin's decision at that time was a little hasty and seemed to be suspected of being forced by Liu Bei's words and deeds, Zhuge Jin also knew that he was also inclined to Liu Bei. After all, the cold treatment Sun Jian had received made Zhuge Jin pay great attention to it, and Liu Bei's enthusiasm formed a strong contrast with this, which made Zhuge Jin quickly turn towards Liu Bei's emotionally. This is a mistake by Sun Jian, and perhaps also the inevitable consequence of Sun Jian's arrogant personality.
After Zhuge Jin performed his duties for a few days, he found that Liu Bei's talents were not fewer than Sun Jian's, and even more so. Moreover, Liu Bei's subordinates were relatively united. Although they also had a small circle, there was no serious fight. In addition, Liu Bei basically didn't care about his background, so the passage for promotion was smoother and more attractive to talents. In comparison, Sun Jian was slightly worse. Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be glad that he chose the right wise master.
The news that Zhuge Jin surrendered to Liu Bei made players talk. Although Zhuge Jin was not a stunning talent, he was also one of the rare talents. What’s more interesting is that behind him was Zhuge Liang, the biggest monster of the Three Kingdoms period. Will Zhuge Jin’s choice block Zhuge Liang’s path instead?
This is the issue that most players pay more attention to. Although Zhuge Liang is still young now, it does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm for this matter at all. On the forum, the incident of Zhuge Jin's bidding to Liu Bei even attracted the attention and gossip of players than the war in Taishan County and Jizhou.
Another person who is concerned about this matter is naturally Cai Mao and Zhao Yun. They are obviously from Xiangyang, but Zhuge Jin's choice is Liu Bei, which makes Cai Mao very unwilling and feels very shameless. Especially when the words circulated among the strangers spread to Cai Mao, it makes Cai Mao feel ashamed to go out.
Zhao Yun was very open-minded and advised Cai Mao not to care about this matter, nor to condemn the Zhuge family. In fact, Zhuge Xuan, who resigned from office and settled in Xiangyang, was just Zhuge Jin's uncle. It is no wonder that Zhuge Jin's personal choice was on the head, but Zhuge Xuan himself was in-laws with the Pang family.
...................................................................................
This matter was naturally reported to Fang Zhiwen very quickly. Fang Zhiwen just looked at it and threw it aside. As Guo Jia said that day, the struggles of the princes are essentially a struggle between systems and policies. Talent is of great importance, but it is not as important as anyone who is missing, and it will not soar to the sky just because of whom.
What's more, Liu Bei is not Liu Bei in history. Liu Bei's subordinates are now full of talents and strong civil and military affairs. So what if there is more Zhuge Jin? So what if there is Zhuge Liang in the future?
If Sima Yi was able to exhaust Zhuge Liang, Fang Zhiwen could naturally exhaust Kong Ming. Therefore, Fang Zhiwen didn't care about this matter at all, and even felt that it was unnecessary to reply to Cai Mao.
"Master, I'll have to reply to this letter."
At this time, Fang Zhiwen was sitting on the return boat and down the Yellow River. Zhen Jiang sat on one side, rolling the account book, looking very quiet. He was talking about Huang Zhong, and Fang Zhiwen wiped the new knife in his hand. When he heard Huang Zhong's words, Fang Zhiwen said without raising his head: "Why care about such a small matter? Degui cares too much. If he ignores it, he will win a reputation."
Huang Zhong grinned: "My lord cannot ask everyone to be as smart as his lord! General Cai has been thinking a little bit wrong. Shouldn't the lord give me some advice? How patient is with his subordinates, why is he unwilling to plan for General Cai?"
"Uh..." Fang Zhiwen was stunned. Zhen Jiang couldn't help but look up at Fang Zhiwen when he heard this. Fang Zhiwen stopped the action in his hand and thought for a while and said, "Han Sheng is right, I'm not thinking well, I'll reply now!"
Huang Zhong smiled and said nothing. This is how the lord makes people feel at ease. If he is wrong, he will admit it immediately and improve it immediately, without any concealment, nor will he pretend to be wrong. This made Huang Zhong particularly appreciate and admire. In fact, Huang Zhong himself may not be able to do this.
Zhen Jiang smiled proudly and lowered her head to continue her work. Fang Zhiwen put the knife aside, picked up the letter and wrote a reply at the back, carefully analyzing for Cai Mao how to deal with this matter and how to improve the policies so that more talents can be retained.
