Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 157 Conversation, fierce

"Please have some tea."

A turmoil was resolved with the arrival of Zhuge Yan. In just a few words, the descendant of Wuhou asked Guan Xian to suppress his anger and be patient. Then he asked Guan Xian to set up a table and sit in a corner of the lobby, facing Chen Zhi. After sitting down, I was served tea again.

The teacup was slightly opened, and the fragrance was tangy, contained but not exposed, and the smell made Chen Zhi's mind slightly moved.

Zhuge Yan said with a smile: "This is tea picked from Huqiu in Wu County. The color is like jade and the taste is like orchid. The locals call it Baiyun tea. It can be called a treasure. At that time, Chen Hou loved tea and made various teas come into being. Legend has it that this Huqiu tea is Chen's tea." Hou was created out of nothing and was just born. Although it is said to be false, we can still see its preciousness."

This is really not spreading rumors, but the power of the lottery.

Chen Zhi said in his heart but didn't say much.

As far as Chen Zhi knows, this Tiger Hill tea is now controlled by the government and is supplied directly to the palace as a tribute. No matter how rich ordinary people are, they cannot buy it, but when it comes to Zhuge Yan, they can actually use it to entertain guests. , from which we can get a glimpse of the power of the Zhuge family.

The fragrance of tea is wafting, good tea goes well with famous people, Zhuge Yan talks and laughs, there is a kind of heart-wrenching power. If Chen Zhi had met him when he was just debuting in his previous life, he would definitely be heart-wrenched by him.

However, now that this set was placed in front of him, it seemed that it was not enough. It could not move Chen Zhi too much at all. The only change in his mind was because of the face that was very similar to his old friend.

Zhuge Yan sipped his tea and said with a smile: "Just now, sir, I talked with my friend, and what I said was thought-provoking. The way of soldiers is that there are extraordinary people, and there are also upright people. There is a way that a good fighter has no great achievements. Everyone thinks that the art of war is exquisite, but it has to be misunderstood by others. They don't know that the more complicated the military strategy is, the more difficult it is to implement it. When the soldiers and horses move, thousands of people, most of whom are illiterate, practice It will be very hard to get up, and if you add complicated military strategies, you will fall into chaos before the enemy attacks."

When he said this, Chen Zhi was a little surprised, but then he suddenly understood.

There are rumors that Zhuge Yan likes Legalism, but it does not mean that he has no research on military strategism. Besides, that day in the Ice Tower, when Chen Zhi was talking to Wang Pan and others, he heard that He mentioned that once Zhuge Yan came, he couldn't get around the idea of ​​a military strategist.

Now, Zhuge Yan's words not only reflected his knowledge, but also invisibly saved Chen Zhi.

Therefore, Chen Zhi also responded politely: "Your Excellency, you are indeed involved in a wide range of things."

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen," Zhuge Yan laughed, "The way of a military strategist is to focus on drills. Everything that can be done on the battlefield must be practiced at ordinary times. Chen Hou once said that there are hundreds of drills, and only one of them can be used on the battlefield. One, that's enough. The so-called clever strategies are mostly about taking risks. The real tactics are practiced hundreds of times. They may seem ordinary, but the battlefield situation is ever-changing. How to use the existing routines? Combining the most suitable tactics is the embodiment of one's ability."

Chen Zhi nodded secretly. He had never been on the battlefield either, but Zhuge Yan's knowledge was very different from Guan Xian's. Fortunately, Guan Xian sat far away. If he was sitting nearby and heard this, even if it was Zhuge Yan who said it, I'm afraid there's also some controversy.

After a few words, Chen Zhi's perception of Zhuge Yan was completely different, and the slight grudge between them due to Guan Xian had almost disappeared.

Then Zhuge Yan changed the topic and stopped talking about military affairs. Instead, he talked about what he had seen along the way and talked about Legalism.

Chen Zhi didn't travel much in this life, but in the two previous lives he traveled all over the country and saw a lot, and he didn't fall behind in the slightest. Coupled with the existence of books in his heart, they complemented each other even more. Talking about a place can often quote scriptures, which made Zhuge Yan secretly Surprised, his attitude towards Chen Zhi gradually became closer, and there was a real sense of admiration in his eyes.

In fact, during this meeting, Zhuge Yan originally wanted to ask some questions about the military affairs. Chen Zhi's military strategy helped Zhu Shou defeat Wang Mi. Although the news was blocked, several of Zhu Shou's lieutenants, together with many The staff are all insiders. If you really want to find out, there will always be channels to find out.

Even if he didn't take the initiative to investigate, because he was very close to Qingzhou and the place where the decisive battle took place, the news of the decisive battle reached him immediately.

After reading the news, Zhuge Yan was interested at the time, but he didn't know that it was Pengcheng Chen Zhi who did it. He just wanted to find out the reason why Wang Mi was defeated.

He had heard of Wang Mi's name many times in the past and knew that he was not a simple person. Zhuge also had heard of Zhu Shou's performance, which was not outstanding. As a result, in the duel between these two people, the latter actually won. Zhuge Yan was curious. I guessed that there was help behind the scenes.

On the other hand, the court's various arrangements for Zhuge Yan's father, the contemporary Marquis of Wuxiang, also forced him to stop. Therefore, before the end of the year, they stopped in Liu County and did not arrive in Pengcheng until now.

During this period, through the network of contacts, Zhuge Yan already knew what happened before and after the decisive battle, as well as Chen Zhi's name. The purpose of this meeting was to test Chen Zhi's foundation and find out what level Chen Zhi was. Act recklessly to complicate the situation.

"In the current situation, asking about military strategists would give people a sense of intimidation. Even if I don't make further friends with Chen Zhi, there is no need to turn against each other."

With this thought, Zhuge Yan no longer mentioned military matters. "However, let's not talk about military affairs. Chen Zhi's knowledge and profound knowledge alone are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. The title of a famous Pengcheng scholar is not an exaggeration in the slightest, and he is well deserved."

Chen Zhi was also surprised by Zhuge Yan's talent and learning. From what he said, he could clearly find that this man had a lot of knowledge about the customs, products, and even the mountains and landforms of various places.

"Zhuge Yan traveled around the world not only to raise his hopes, but also to improve his own astronomy and geography. He was a man with great ambitions."

With this kind of cognition, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became more and more harmonious, and Guan Xian on the other side became very angry.

"You can't tell, this Chen Zhi is still a follower. When he faced me, he seemed to have some backbone. Now when he faces Zhuge Yan, he has a different look!" He said with a look of disgust. A tone full of disgust.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself: "You can't blame others. No one can bear your tone. But others are worried about your identity and background and dare not say anything, but Chen Zhi is not afraid at all." To refute, how can this be said to be following the trend?"

Chen Zhi's words not only made Guan Xian angry, but also made Zhao Xing think. The disappointment in his heart dissipated, and his view of Chen Zhi changed.

However, he knew Guan Xian's temperament and did not try to explain it. He just said: "Chen Zhineng can talk to Zhuge so much. This is his skill. You have seen Zhuge discussing Tao with others. Zhuge usually said it and others agreed. But Look at this Chen Zhi, Zhuge said, he also said, Zhuge talks about astronomy, he can also talk about astronomy, and it can also be extended to geography. Zhuge talks about geography, Chen Zhi also has insights, and he can even talk about the local customs and customs. This insight, Already surpassing others."

"Humph!" Guan Xian snorted coldly, looking displeased as he glared at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth. This Chen Zhi came from an ordinary family. If he had a slightly higher starting point and got a fifth grade evaluation, would you be so unhappy? You will not be dissatisfied with his military strategy because of his family background, you just feel that with his background, and not from a military family, writing a military strategy must be full of mistakes and omissions, and you instinctively want to resist it."

Zhao Xing didn't want to explain because he was concerned about his friends. It didn't mean that he was afraid of Guan Xian. In terms of family background, he was not bad at all, so he spoke frankly when he spoke.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of talking, but when it comes to the critical moment, you still have to rely on the sword in your hand!" Guan Xian said, touching the long sword beside him, and then his eyes fell on Chen Zhi, with an uncertain expression.

Over there, Zhuge Yan and Chen Zhi were laughing. After Zhuge Yan laughed, he said, "It's getting late. Mr. Chen, why don't you leave after dinner, so that I can continue to ask for advice."

"It's exactly what I wanted," Chen Zhi also smiled, and then added, "It's not a good idea to ask for advice. We can help each other by talking."

Zhuge Yan then ordered his servant to arrange dinner. After receiving the order, the servant went to the back to notify the kitchen.

Wobing Tower is divided into several parts. In the front is the pavilion facade, and in the back is a large courtyard where the kitchen and cooks are busy.

Hurala!
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door, as if many people were running, and then the guard guarding outside came in to report the situation: "Master Qi, there is a subordinate official leading a group of gangsters to the north quickly, passing by outside the building. , there was a commotion, saying that traces of the big thief Wang Mi were found in the north of the city, and men were being mobilized from all over to encircle and suppress them."

"Wang Mi has finally been discovered? Just in time! I am also in Pengcheng. Maybe I can meet this person again," Zhugeyan said, smiling at Chen Zhi, "Mr. Chen is also interested in this person." He was secretly Referring to Chen Zhi's military strategy, he helped Zhu Shou to defeat Wang Mi's military force in one fell swoop, and only then did this great thief fall to where he is today.

After a cup of tea, Zhuge Yan suddenly frowned and felt that something was wrong.

"What's going on? You haven't come back yet?" The person he was talking about was the servant who had just left and informed the kitchen. This servant usually waited by his side and knew how to figure out Zhuge Yan's thoughts. He completed everything Zhuge Yan ordered. Lisuo will be back soon, but today is very unusual, and he has not been seen yet.

In doubt, Zhuge Yan called another person and asked him to go to the backyard to call back the previous servant.

But this person walked out the back door, and immediately ran back in a panic!

"Not good! Not good!" His face was full of panic. Because he was too anxious, when he was running quickly, his feet became unsteady and he fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

Behind this man, two tall figures emerged, but they were two big men in powerful clothes, holding knives and striding forward, their faces full of flesh, and their bodies full of fierceness!
As the two people walked, they stared at everyone in the room with ferocious eyes. One of them even laughed and said: "I really don't understand why the master chose to take action at this time. Wouldn't it be better to take action when that person is out of the city? "

　Thanks to "Li Xiaoxianxian" for the reward!Two updates today. I’ve barely had any rest time lately, and my back can’t stand it anymore.
