Chapter 476 Acquaintance(4000)

"At that time, we old subordinates were afraid that our faces would be disgraced. In addition, Xun Lingjun also said that after Lu Fengxian and his subordinates arrived in Juancheng, they were all arrogant and arrogant, and their noses were almost raised to the sky. If we teach them

If we continue to be so arrogant, I am afraid that the envoy will despise us, and we old subordinates will have less and less weight in the envoy."

"When it comes to merit, General Wu is the person most worthy of your trust."

"If General Wu hadn't sent back the gold in time, Shijun's western expedition to Xuzhou last year wouldn't have been so smooth; and if General Wu hadn't provided the 'flying slave' method, Zhang Miao's rebellion would have been difficult to quell, and Shijun would have been afraid of being in Yanzhou

Not even a foothold could be saved; and in this western expedition to Xuzhou, the siege weapons that General Wu presented to the envoy were also indispensable...Everything General Wu did was an unparalleled feat. Isn't it true?

How can the brave and foolhardy Lu Fengxian compare?"

"Therefore, General Wu should take this opportunity to destroy his majesty and teach him what it means to be a man outside the world. Don't underestimate our old subordinates, especially General Wu, who has worked hard and achieved great results."

Having said this, Cheng Yu showed a clear look of indignation on his face, as if he was defending Wu Liang's injustice.

Is this starting a party dispute?

Wu Liang already understood Cheng Yu's true intention.

The old boy who had been making trouble for a long time was here to stir up trouble, and he kept saying that these words were said by Xun Yu, and put all the blame on Xun Yu.

Old fox!

Of course, this may indeed be what Xun Yu meant.

After all, while assisting Boss Cao, Xun Yu had his own selfish motives, and he recommended many talents to Boss Cao, many of whom were reused by Boss Cao, including Xi Zhicai, who was highly valued by Boss Cao.

And these talents recommended by him can naturally be regarded as Xun Yu's disciples in a sense.

Now that Boss Cao recognizes Lu Bu as his adopted son, it seems that he will also be given a large reward at the celebration banquet. In Xun Yu's view, this naturally threatens his status in Boss Cao's heart, and may in turn affect his hard work.

Because of the status of those students who run the business, they are not willing to teach them to be more beautiful than before.

Unfortunately, Xun Yu didn't have anyone who could defeat Lu Bu for the time being, so he thought of this tactic of killing people with a borrowed knife, and wanted to use Wu Liang to check and balance Lu Bu.

But Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are foxes, so why not Wu Liang?

He had already thought about this kind of thing very clearly after just a moment's thought, so how could he be taken advantage of by them so casually?

Except for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.

Maybe there are many people who have similar meanings...that is, those "old subordinates" of Boss Cao mentioned by Cheng Yu.

Xiahou Dun?

The ban?

Yue Jin?

Maybe even Xi Zhicai might be involved.

After all, Lu Bu's joining will definitely affect the distribution of power in Cao Ying, and it will be a redistribution.

Because Lu Bu did not come alone, but the entire group joined together.

Under him was Chen Gong, who had been highly valued by Boss Cao before. This man was brave and resourceful. Even after Lu Bu was defeated and captured in Xiapi in history, Boss Cao was still able to ignore Chen Gong's crime of Yanzhou rebellion.

He hoped that Chen Gong would turn around and use it for his own purposes, but Chen Gong refused to do so and had him beheaded. Even so, he still treated his family well.

In addition, there are also the famous "Eight Talents".

Among them, the most noteworthy ones are undoubtedly "Gao Shun" and "Zhang Liao".

Many people may not know much about "Gao Shun" when it comes to "Gao Shun", but when he mentions the "trap camp" he personally led, many people are immediately struck by the idea.

This is the real "invincible division" in the army of the late Han Dynasty. It has more than 700 people under its direct command, known as a thousand people. The armors and weapons are well-equipped. They strictly observe military disciplines and are well-equipped and very brave in combat. Let's put it this way, except for Boss Cao Shui.

The time Yanxiapi captured Lu Bu and completely destroyed the entire Lu Bu group, the "trapped camp" had been invincible in previous wars. Liu Bei and Xiahou Dun were all defeated by him!

Not to mention Zhang Liao, the governor of the North, who led 800 dead soldiers to fight against Sun Quan's 100,000 troops, fought all the way to his banner and almost captured Sun Quan alive. This feat made the joke of "Sun 100,000" deeply rooted in the hearts of later generations.

certainly.

There is also "Hao Meng" who is average in all aspects.

This person Wu Liang had already met him when he stole the tomb of King Liu of Guangchuan. It is not known whether the disease he contracted at that time was cured or whether he is still alive today...

Now that the Lu Bu Group has made considerable military exploits, it is natural that Boss Cao will reward them at a celebration banquet.

But how to award rewards is another technical task.

Others are not clear about it, but Wu Liang knows it very well. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he had already served as General Fenwu, Jiajie, Yibi Sansi, became Marquis of Wen, and even controlled the government together with Wang Yun. You need to know this.

"General Fenwu" is the title of a high-ranking general, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a multi-pronged army, and is definitely not comparable to ordinary generals.

Gao Shun, on the other hand, became a Zhonglang general early on.

Since Zhang Liao was the governor of the North, he was at the level of a county governor. According to Cao Ying's rank, he was at least a school captain.

Since Boss Cao wants to reward them, in addition to some material rewards, even if it is to win over people's hearts, the rank should not be lower than what they were before.

But the problem is that the top two officers in Cao Ying's camp are now the two Zhonglang generals.

One is Wu Liang, the Shishi Zhonglang General, and the other is the Diannong Zhonglang General who Zhu Lu just conferred. The rest, even Xiahou Dun, is still just a school captain and prefect.

In this situation where ranks are not equal.

If Boss Cao wants to incorporate the Lu Bu Group into Cao's camp, redistribution of rights is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice. Only in this way can it be fair in a relative sense and convince the public.

at the same time.

Boss Cao also faces another problem, which is how to integrate the Lu Bu Group and the "old subordinates" group.

If this matter is not handled well, party strife will arise. Once party strife occurs within an organization, the internal strength will quickly disintegrate, and decline is not far away.

Just like now, haven't the "old subordinates" group come to win over Wu Liang and prepare to cause trouble?

However, Wu Liang believes that Boss Cao has already thought of a countermeasure, so he is eager to hold this celebration banquet. We will just see how Boss Cao performs...

"Hahaha, Cheng Taishou is ridiculous. How can I be as important as you say? Besides, that is the famous flying general Lu Bu. Even Dong Zhuo died at his hands. I am just a nobody who can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands.

, How dare I destroy his prestige? Governor Cheng and Lord Xun Ling think too highly of me."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then said with a laugh, "Besides, Lu Bu is good at fighting, and I am good at night walking. Lu Bu can see the light, but I cannot. Lu Bu is the sharp blade in the hands of the envoy, but I can only be the shadow of the envoy. We can't do it at all."

They are not the same type of people, and they have completely different purposes for envoys. There is really no comparison, and there is no conflict. Therefore, Lu Bu actually has not much influence on me. I still don't get involved with this problem.

Alright."

"this……"

Cheng Yu didn't expect Wu Liang would react like this.

After all, Wu Liang was only in his early twenties, an age when he was in full swing. Naturally, he loved to hear flattery and was most easily provoked to do some hot-headed actions.

As a result, it was unexpected that Wu Liang was lying so flat, with no fighting spirit, and even a little bit of composure.

This doesn't look like the mental state that the first person in Cao Ying's camp should have. Even if it's a little bloated, it shouldn't be like this...

Cheng Yu has now passed the age of knowing destiny, but he knows very well that if he had Wu Liang's ability and merit, he would never be able to be so indifferent, and he would have to take himself a little seriously.

"Prefect Cheng, is there anything else?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"No, no more."

Cheng Yu came back to his senses and said slightly embarrassed.

"Aha——"

Wu Liang stretched out a lot and said to Cheng Yu with a tired look on his face, "In this case, I won't stay as Governor Cheng. After being out for half a year, I felt relaxed when I got home, and I felt so tired that I couldn't control myself."

Now, I have to take a good rest first, and after I feel better, I have to go back to the envoy as soon as possible."

"Then I won't disturb General Wu. I'll retire."

Cheng Yu finally stopped saying anything, bowed his hands and retreated out of the living room.

"I won't see you off, Governor Cheng. See you later."

Wu Liang returned the gift with a smile.

…

Upon returning to the county government, someone immediately presented Cheng Yu with a silk letter sent by Boss Cao using a flying slave.

Cheng Yuping stepped back, and after carefully reading the contents of the silk book, he took another blank piece of silk and wrote on it: "Please don't read it, General Wu regards cloth as a sword that is good at fighting, and himself as a shadow of darkness."

, don’t plot with him, don’t fight with Bu.”

Then he carefully folded the piece of silk cloth and put it into a small bamboo tube. He called his personal guards to tie it to Fei Nu's legs and let him out.

It turned out that Cheng Yu was not Xun Yu's person, nor was he asked by Xun Yu to come to stir up trouble. The person standing behind him was none other than Boss Cao himself.

The situation is actually similar to what Wu Liang had guessed before.

Since Boss Cao adopted Lu Bu as his adopted son, some of the "old subordinates" have begun to urge Boss Cao to take back his life and take the opportunity to kill Lu Bu.

Of course, the rhetoric used is not much different from what Liu Bei said to Boss Cao in history.

It's nothing more than Yanzhou's old and new grudges, as well as Lu Bu's murder of his adopted father twice in a row, his capriciousness, and his ambition, which cannot be sustained for a long time.
