"A certain person is Chen Gong, Dongjun County, whose courtesy name is Gongtai."
Zhou Yuanfu encountered another big fish in his heart. At that time, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty lamented that "all the heroes in the world have fallen into my trap." At this time, Zhou Yuanfu had only one thought when facing Chen Gong, to get it on the plate.
"It turns out to be Brother Chen. Sorry, I'm Zhou Fu from Hedong. We meet by fate. I admire Brother Chen's comments just now. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have a drink with Brother Chen."
"It's fate to meet each other, so why not have a drink if we have the chance."
Chen Gong was very free and easy and sat over directly.
"No rush, no rush."
Zhou Yuanfu waved his hand, turned around and told the store owner to find a private seat, serve the dishes again, and start the banquet.
The store arranged a quiet and elegant seat on the second floor. Zhou Yuanfu ordered Cui Niupi to bring out two jars of "Tianshi Immortal Wine", but Cui Niupi reluctantly took them out.
Seeing that the wine poured out was clear and transparent, Chen Gong thought it was water at first. The wine smelled strong and had no fermented sour smell, so he picked up the wine and drank it in one sip. He felt a stream of heat slowly flowing down to his stomach, which made him feel very comfortable.
.
“Good wine!”
Everyone had another drink together, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
"Brother Gongtai, you just criticized Wang Yun and Zhang Liao. If they cannot be called heroes, then are there any heroes in Bingzhou that Brother Chen can like?" Zhou Yuanfu asked tentatively.
"If we are talking about heroes, we must understand the meaning of heroes. Does Brother Zhou know?"
Zhou Yuanfu was about to answer, but felt that such a simple question must have a profound meaning, so he immediately changed his words and said: "I would like to hear the details."
"Wisdom and understanding are called heroes, and courage is called a hero. At present, Wang Yuzhou can only be regarded as a hero, and Zhang Liao can only be regarded as a hero at present. I don't think there are any heroes in Bingzhou."
Cui Niubi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this, thinking that you have a very loud tone.
"Does this brother think that I am exaggerating with what I said? Then I would like to ask this brother, who do you think is the hero, Emperor Gao or Xiang Yu?"
Cui Niupi looked around with a stern look, "Xiang Yu is so powerful that he is unparalleled in the world, so he is naturally a hero. And Emperor Gao, I heard that he abandoned his wife and children in battle, and did many rogue things. I'm afraid he can't be called a hero, right? Ha!
Ha ha."
"Hahaha, what a fool sees."
Chen Gong didn't care whether Cui Niuxi was angry or not and made a direct conclusion.
"Emperor Gao is indeed a great man! He escorted the slaves who could not be stopped but released them voluntarily in order to win over the people's hearts, which is called wisdom; he abandoned his wife and children to save his life, and asked Xiang Yu to throw a rat-proof weapon, which is called wisdom; he entered the Guanzhong and made a covenant in three chapters, which is called conspiracy; he accepted the title and retreated.
Hanzhong says "strategy"; having wisdom and strategy is a talent."
Chen Gong drank another glass of wine and continued, "Although his reputation is not as good as that of Xiao He and Cao Shen, he appointed Pei Gong to lead an army to attack Qin. This is the courage to take responsibility. He went to the Hongmen Banquet to talk and laugh without changing his face, and finally gained Xiang Yu's trust. This is the courage to endure;
Accepting Chen Ping and using Han Xin is the courage of trust; in the battle of Pengcheng, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed with one move, and Emperor Gao turned the tide and turned defeat into victory, this is the courage of perseverance; having all four braves prepared is a great talent."
He turned around and said to Cui Niubi, "Brother, can Emperor Gao be called a hero because he has both talents and talents?"
Cui Niupi said nothing.
"Look at Xiang Yu! Killing 200,000 soldiers in a trap is unkind; killing the Righteous Emperor is unjust; seizing a man's wife and daughter, cooking his father as a threat is disrespectful; using a stratagem to seize Fan Zeng's power
, is unwise; violating the covenant and forcibly dividing the princes is untrustworthy; can such a person who has no benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust be worthy of being a hero?"
Chen Gong, however, was unyielding and had the air of a madman.
Zhou Yuanfu clapped his hands and praised, "Brother Chen has such insight and enlightened me so much. I really admire him!"
Cui Niubi was still dissatisfied, "It's far-fetched. This kind of rhetoric can also be explained by Cui Niubi. For example, a hero should treat virtuous soldiers. For example, Xiang Yu treated his soldiers well and was respectful to others. The soldiers loved him, so he could often win with less.
Many. Xiongcai is just rude to others. For example, Emperor Gao often shouted at his opponents and ministers and generals without respect, which led to Yong Chi, Wei Bao, Han Xin and others constantly plotting rebellions. Although I have not read many books, but
People always hear stories about Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu competing for the world, so you can't deceive me."
"Oh? A hero should treat the virtuous and corporal?" Chen Gong joked, "Xiang Yu is respectful and kind to others. In the end, why did Chen Ping, Han Xin, Ying Bu and others all rebel against Chu and surrender to Han? Heroes can also make friends at the slightest, but also
You can only acquire people but not use them. A hero may not care about the minutiae, but he is very good at using people to retain talented people. For example, if Chen Ping is acquired, Xiang Yu can appoint him and let him lead the troops in the war.
Because of his strengths, Chen Ping performed mediocrely with Xiang Yu. But when Chen Ping came to Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao asked him to be the mastermind, so he could repeatedly come up with strange tricks to help the Han Dynasty. Needless to say, Han Xin was just a langer to Xiang Yu.
Even if he is an official, his talents cannot be used. Han Xin was not worshiped as a general until he served under Emperor Gao, and finally he defeated Xiang Yu in Gaixia. A hero not only knows how to employ people, but also listens to and rewards people."
"What does listening and appreciating mean?" Zhou Yuanfu asked.
"Listening to others means accepting advice with an open mind. Emperor Gao listened to Xiao He's words and worshiped Han Xin as a general, and listened to Chen Ping's words and made Han Xin the King of Qi. Then Han Xin worked hard to serve the Han Dynasty. Rewarding people means giving rewards. Emperor Gao spent a lot of money and titles
Once the reward is given, the civil servants and generals will no longer care about their attitude. In other words, they can get real benefits, which is much more useful than Xiang Yu's "words but not favors". The Gao Emperor granted Ying Bu and beheaded Ding Gu.
It shows that he is very good at appreciating people. Yingbu once put Emperor Gao to death many times, but Emperor Gao accepted his surrender, thinking that he was his own master and his responsibility at that time. And Ding Gu put Gao in the battle of Pengcheng.
The emperor escaped, but Emperor Gao thought he was disloyal to Xiang Yu. Emperor Gao rewarded Ying Bu because it increased his strength during the duel with Xiang Yu. Emperor Gao killed Ding Gu when the world was unified, as a warning to his ministers.
No rebellion is allowed. The cleverness of the methods is breathtaking."
Zhou Yuanfu nodded frequently after hearing this, Guan Yu was also thoughtful, and Cui Niubi finally stopped talking.
"Then according to Brother Chen's opinion, if there are no heroes in Bingzhou, how can there be great talents?" Zhou Yuanfu continued to ask.
"Zhang Liao is one. In addition, Wu Meng and Zhang Yang are also one. This man is very brave and is highly valued by the governor, but he is brave and lacks resourcefulness. There is also a person named Lv named Bu, named Fengxian
, in my opinion, this Bingzhou person is a hero!"
Zhou Yuanfu thought that Lu Bu had finally appeared, and was about to ask for detailed advice. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and someone walked in.
"Lu Bu is just a reckless man who is afraid of his wife. How can he be considered a hero?"
Everyone's faces changed color. Many of what they said today were treacherous and unethical. If someone with a heart heard these people commenting on Emperor Gao, it would be a serious crime against the Nine Clan.
Everyone looked towards the door, and it turned out that it was the waiter who brought the food, "This Lu Bu is just tall and looks intimidating. In fact, he is a coward and cannot be called a hero. He used to come to our place often when he was down and out.
I was drunk, and I heard that since I married the Yan family’s young lady, I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to go out.”
The store clerk was very excited as he kept talking, and then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a man wanted to marry his sister to Lu Bu as a concubine. Lady Yan found out about it, and she chased Lu Bu all over the street, and her face was stained. So
How can a coward be called a hero?"
The store clerk was finally able to defeat Xu Shu, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Cui Niubi had to take out another handful of copper coins and gave them to him, and told him not to go out and talk nonsense. The store clerk went out with a lot of thanks.
"Don't listen to what this kid says. This Lu Bu is indeed a great talent. Lu Bu's grandfather, Ma Ying Hao, once followed the general Dou Xianbei to attack the Huns. After Dou Xian killed him, Lu Hao was also implicated, so he simply left his wife, children, and children in Wuyuan County. His father
Lu Liang once served as a county lieutenant in Jiuyuan County. He died during the Xianbei robbery. Lu Bu was at his grandfather's house at the time. Hearing the bad news, he took only a few servants to take revenge. He went 500 miles into the enemy's territory and killed the Xianbei leader and hundreds of people.
The tribe of thousands of people dispersed. He was only ten years old at that time, and compared with Zhang Liao, he was like a cat or a tiger. Unfortunately, the Wuyuan prefect disliked his vulgarity and refused to recruit him. His father could not protect his territory and died.
The family declined. Later, he moved to Jinyang City with his mother. The head of the Yan family in Jinyang felt that this person would do great things in the future, so he recruited him as his son-in-law." Chen Gong told Lu Bu's family history.
"This Lu Bu's personality changed drastically after his marriage. After falling into the gentle country, he obeyed his wife's advice and never dared to disobey him. Therefore, he was often teased by the boys in the city. Now that troubled times have arisen, those with courage must be the targets of the major families. Outside,
I want to make great achievements, and I want to protect my family. This Lu Bu's rise will only wait for the right time!" Chen Gong made his final concluding speech.
"Just like a tiger descending from a barren hill, its lurking minions endure it. What Brother Chen said is true. This Lu Bu is now a tiger that has fallen into a deadlock and is bullied by a dog. If things change in the future, this man will surely become famous and reach the world!" Zhou Yuanfu said!
.
"So Brother Yuanfu wants to recruit this person?" Chen Gong said meaningfully.
