Somewhere in Danyang, Jiangdong, the Zhang family moved from Xuzhou to Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who are now living under the Zhang family in Jiangdong, looked at the letter in their hands, with a hint of bitterness on their faces. The two brothers looked at each other and saw it in each other's eyes.
The bitterness.⊥,
When Liu Bei first entered Mount Tai, he sent someone to invite them, but he didn't even let them in. Now think about it, if he had agreed at that time, I'm afraid he should be sitting in Lu Su's seat now.
Once when Taishan was getting better, Liu Bei had some free time after being rejected and went to Xuzhou to invite him in person. Unfortunately, the Zhang family thanked the guests behind closed doors and ignored Liu Bei. Now think about it, if he had saved a little face at that time,
I am afraid that the two brothers are now in charge of one side.
When Liu Bei was building Fenggao City for the third time, he came to invite him again. Unfortunately, he came in person the second time, and invited him by letter the third time. The two brothers were naturally very dissatisfied.
Then the messenger's words "you will regret it" made the two brothers laugh for a long time. They are the most intelligent people in the world. How could they regret it because they were a small prince along the way?
But later they really regretted it. Liu Bei rose like a comet and was unstoppable. He defeated the Yellow Turban, defeated Yuan Shu, and defeated Cao Cao. They really regretted it at that time. If Liu Bei could give them a letter at that time, they would have
At the next step, they will definitely become attached.
But Liu Bei came and left without giving them any steps. Maybe they really thought too highly of themselves. At least they couldn't let Liu Bei rise like this. People who are incompetent and arrogant should really regret it.
In fact, Chen Xi does not advocate the so-called concept of "inviting the person three times without seeing him, and then inviting him again". A monarch who has so much free time to do something else is more effective than this.
Chen Xi believed in three things; Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were given enough face by Chen Xi. At that time in Yingchuan, the Xun family at least opened the door to meet each other. Although no one was there, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong just closed the door to thank guests.
, this is even if Liu Bei goes to invite him personally.
The third time Liu Bei wanted to go in person, it was Chen Xi who stopped Liu Bei. A letter was enough. It didn't matter whether he came or not. It was not good to think of others too highly and to think of oneself too lowly. He would regret it.
time, and Chen Xi specifically asked the messenger to relay that sentence.
From then on, Liu Bei never invited or recruited anyone more than three times. Three times was enough. What followed was not sincerity, but a trick.
According to Chen Xi's words, if you want to be an official, then become an official. If you don't want to be an official, then don't hype up your reputation or pretend to be an official!
Chen Xi specially sent these words to those capable ministers who were not invited. Of course, he specifically refers to the Zhang brothers. With Lu Su, Chen Xi was too lazy to pay attention to them. Later, Li You came and even captured Zhuge Liang. Chen Xi completely ignored those two people.
The wallflower lost interest.
I admit that your internal affairs can be ranked among the top ten in the world, so what? We are complete. One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not less. If you are willing to come, I will give you a position. You are only useful. If you are not willing to come,
, I will never invite you, we are not that mean to humiliate you as a servant of the Zhang family.
In this way, Er Zhang and Liu Bei drifted apart, but Liu Bei became more and more powerful, and Er Zhang regretted more and more. They finally understood why the messenger who came to invite them for the last time came back and why he wanted to come back.
They said, "My military advisor asked me to tell you two, 'You will regret it.'"
Just because of this sentence, they couldn't get off the stage at all. They regretted it, but with that sentence blocking them, if they wanted to go to Liu Bei to give in, where would they put their faces?
"Alas, brother clan, we were really blind back then." Zhang Zhao threw the letter aside and said with a slightly sad expression. Chen Xi blocked him with a word. As Liu Bei became stronger and stronger, and even reached the top, both of them
Gradually, knots appeared in my heart, and they became more and more boring.
"I'm afraid that person back then had anticipated such a situation. We had Liu Xuande rejected, and the other party took our steps away with his backhand. It was a tit-for-tat response." Zhang Hong raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, feeling helpless.
He said, "Who knew that young man had such a method back then."
"Hey, what should we do?" Zhang Zhao said gloomily. He had been blocked by the other party's words for several years. He was depressed and troubled.
"Let's go and admit our mistake. Even if the other party says we have no backbone, we will admit it. Who told us that we were ignorant of gold and jade back then." Zhang Hong sighed and said.
After Zhang Zhao moved out of Xuzhou, they paid more attention to all directions, but there were only a few princes who could catch their eyes. There was only one person who could rival Liu Bei in their eyes, and that one had already fallen.
Of course, the Zhang brothers are not very good at knowing people.
"..." Zhang Zhao was silent. He was unwilling to give in. What happened in the past three years was very exciting to him. Liu Bei went from being a worthless brat to becoming the strongest overlord in the world.
"I'm not willing to do it." After all, Zhang Zhao was younger than Zhang Hong and had not yet mastered the art of cultivating his Qi. He just replied silently to Zhang Hong's suggestion.
"I'm not willing to give in, but no matter how much you are unwilling to give in, it's of no use. Do you want to bury your talents in the mountains and forests?" Zhang Hong said helplessly. Learn martial arts well and serve the emperor's family. This is
Most ancient people believed that no one would live in seclusion if they had no other choice.
"Alas..." All Zhang Zhao's reluctance melted into this long sigh. If he had known he would regret it today!
In this way, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong crossed the river from Danyang and prepared to return to Xuzhou. Unfortunately, the Yangtze River had been blocked by Yuan Liu at this time. In desperation, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong could only go to Shouchun to rest and wait for time.
"This Sun Bofu is also quite capable." Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong walked on the main street of Shouchun and looked around.
"It's okay." Zhang Hong ignored Zhang Zhao. He knew that Zhang Zhao was unwilling to give in. After all, the sentence "You will regret it" still remains in their minds until now, and it fills their hearts from time to time.
hit.
On the other side, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin, Gu Yong, Yu Fan, Lu Fan and others were handling government affairs. As for Pang Tong, he was already drunk. In the entire Sun Ce rule, Pang Tong was the only one who had such privileges.
Pang Tong persisted in insisting that he did not understand government affairs and only knew military strategy. Under such circumstances, which he could still handle, he would rather get drunk than deal with such complicated government affairs.
Zhou Yu, who was dealing with government affairs, suddenly felt something when Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao entered a certain area. He suddenly raised his head, but he lost his sense of spiritual talent.
"Come, let's inform Bo Fu." Zhou Yu thought for a while and decided to inform Sun Ce first. (To be continued...)
