Chapter 1377 People''s hearts


    Maybe it’s because everyone’s DNA is different, so everyone is strictly a unique individual with their own ideas and concepts.


    This kind of personal thoughts and concepts, once formed, are difficult to change. Why is it said that the country will unanimously choose the nine-year compulsory education? If you do not accept such compulsory education, you may even violate the law and be enforced?


    It is still the same old saying, there is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.


    Obtain the corresponding benefits, then you have to pay the corresponding price.


    One peck and one drink, it''s God''s will.


    Fei Qian didn''t expect that Lu Bu would come to him, because Fei Qian thought that Lu Bu was proud, like a lone wolf on the grassland. Although lonely, he would still stand proudly on the high **** of the soil instead of running down and begging for mercy. .


    Based on this conclusion, Lu Bu''s behavior when he came to Hedong was extremely suspicious, and there must be hidden secrets behind it.


    But on the other hand, people can still be changed. There are still some people who know how to hurt when they hit the south wall, and then although they are reluctant, they cover their heads and detour. Therefore, what kind of person is Lu Bu at the moment? ?


    After all, Lu Bu is the Marquis of Wen.


    As mentioned earlier, there are three types of positions in the Han Dynasty: self-recommendation, joint name, and canonization. The self-recommendation is like what Yuan Shao did before, declaring himself a chariot general, and the joint name is like Yang Biao recommending Fei Qian as a hussar general, but these two positions are not counted in the orthodox concept of the Han Dynasty However, the only official positions conferred by the imperial court can really be put on the table in a glamorous manner.


    It’s like Liu Bei was the governor of Qingzhou and the shepherd of Xuzhou, but everyone recognized the governor of Yuzhou, because only this governor of Yuzhou was appointed by Cao Cao under the guise of the imperial court after Liu Bei voted for Cao Cao.


    Although Lv Bu, the Marquis of Wen, was conferred by Dong Zhuo, after Dong Zhuo was killed, many official positions would be invalidated. General Wu, Yitong Sansi, Fake Festival, etc., are equivalent to the imperial court''s approval, and Lu Bu''s official position has been washed away. Just like Fei Qian''s Zhengxi General, it is a formal official position recognized by the imperial court.


    Everyone has a bottom line, and those without a bottom line will not be welcomed by anyone. This is true whether it is ancient or modern. On the one hand, he does not abide by the rules, but on the other hand he asks others to obey the rules. Such a person will not be an emperor for long. Therefore, Fei Qian needs to know where is the bottom line of Lu Bu, or the small group of Lu Bu?


    Direct inquiry on the open side often fails to get the correct result, or even if an answer is obtained from face-to-face inquiry, it is often not an accurate result, so Fei Qian can only observe in secret.


    "Brother, this is Pingyang..." Standing on a **** in the southern outskirts of Pingyang, Fei Qianan sat on his horse, pointed with a whip, and said, "Back in Pingyang, the four gates collapsed, and only the city wall remained. After the rammed earth, the streets were congested with abandoned objects, Liang Dao was in the ruined city of Pingyang, resisted Baibo''s attack, and finally defeated Baibo here, it is considered to have regained this area..."


    Lu Bu looked at the big red city in the distance, and couldn''t help taking a breath, "This... this Pingyang seems to be bigger than Luoyang!"


    "Hehe..." Fei Qian didn''t answer directly, but smiled and said, "Luoyang City is nine miles from north to south, six miles from east to west, and has twelve gates... Pingyang is just a city in one county, so I dare not have it." In violation of respect, the outer city is seven miles from north to south, from east to west, with two gates on each side of the city..."


    If Pingyang continues to develop, it is very likely that it will be expanded, but it may not be suitable to continue to expand the outer city wall, because it may adopt the model of Chang''an Lingyi to build some satellite towns, but this matter will have to wait at least five years. It''s been a year, so now Fei Qian hasn''t told Lu Bu about this.


    But even without describing the scale and direction of future development, the current size of Pingyang has made Lu Bu stare. He had heard that Pingyang was prosperous and prosperous before, but he did not expect such a scale! Back then when Lu Bu traveled to Bingzhou, he also visited the abandoned Pingyang, but the scene in front of him now really makes it difficult for Lu Bu to integrate the abandoned Pingyang in his mind with everything in front of him...


    "This is simply..." Lu Bu shook his head and sighed, "It''s unbelievable..."


    Normally, the time required to build a city is calculated in years, and five to ten years are common occurrences. However, Pingyang City has been rebuilt and expanded in just a few years. It has to be said that it is indeed an amazing thing.


    Of course, apart from the prosperity of commerce and trade, Huang''s workshop provides a large amount of comprehensive support for construction from raw materials to construction tools, which is also an important factor in achieving today''s speed.


    Fei Qian did not continue to explain, but nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, sometimes I also find it unbelievable... But since it happened, there is a reason for its existence...Brother, this way please."


    "Huh?" Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then realized, nodded, turned his horse''s head, and followed Fei Qian''s pace.


    Chituma snorted impatiently, and wanted to kick Feiqian''s mount, which was half a horse ahead, several times, but was held back by Lu Bula, and finally Lu Bu slapped him on the head impatiently. He was being honest, but he was still snorting and shaking his mane, looking very unhappy.


    Xun Chen had already waited in line at the Shili Pavilion. After seeing Fei Qian and Lu Bu coming, he first saluted Fei Qian and then met Lu Bu. Naturally, Xun Chen''s eloquence needless to say, he picked out some of Lu Bu''s proud things As he spoke, Lu Bu laughed out loud with a relaxed expression.


    Everything seems to be in harmony...


    ………………


    Pingyang Second Ring Road.


    post house.


    Wei Xu came back after turning around, cupped his hands and reported: "I have checked, and there is nothing abnormal around."


    Chen Gong nodded, and then said: "It''s a shame Captain Wei." He signaled Wei Xu to back down.


    Wei Xu froze for a moment, glanced at Lv Bu, and saw that Lv Bu nodded slightly, then retreated silently, taking the surrounding guards away.


    "Why is the public platform like this..." Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu and said.


    Chen Gong said in a low voice: "If you want to achieve great things, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. I also know that Wei Xiaowei''s character is fine, but it''s just in case."


    Lu Bu waved his hand, not wanting to continue the topic, and said, "If you have something to do, please speak directly!"


    "General Zhengxi..." Chen Gong didn''t continue his polite manners. After all, this matter has happened many times, but it''s just that Lu Bu has not made up his mind.


    Lu Bu lowered his eyelids and nodded silently.


    "How long is Marquis Wen going to hesitate?" Chen Gong leaned forward slightly, "Zheng Xi is polite on the surface, but he is actually wary of Marquis Wen... If Marquis Wen doesn''t make a plan early, sooner or later he will fall into the hands of others!"


    Lu Bu glared at Chen Gong, but did not speak.


    Unafraid of Lu Bu''s expression, Chen Gong continued to speak slowly: "Marquis Wen, the defeat of Yanzhou was due to the slow action of Mr. Zhang, and the defeat of Luoyang was caused by a weak foundation. It was not the fault of Marquis Wen. Also, now that Marquis Wen is returning to Bingzhou and gaining a foothold, this is an excellent opportunity, absolutely not to be missed!"


    Lu Bu frowned deeply and said: "A certain Zhengxi is like a brother, how can I bear it..."


    Chen Gong interrupted Lu Bu''s words, and said: "Wen Hou''s words are wrong! It is not Wen Hou who seized the cause of Zhengxi, but Wen Hou joined hands with Zhengxi to create it! Why not?"


    Lu Bu blinked, thought for a moment, obviously more excited than before, and said: "I would like to hear more about it."


    "Marquis Wen, you should know that although the westward campaign looks strong at this time, its foundation is not yet stable. There are Qiang people in the west who are still undecided, Xianbei in the north who have yet to be settled, Sichuan and Shu in the south who need to fight, and General Yuan in the east..." Chen Gong said in a low voice. , "It can be said that there are wars on all sides..."


    Lu Bu nodded and said: "It seems to be true, but how can we say that we are working together... this..."


    "Don''t worry, Marquis Wen." Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "Although there is no war between Zhengxi and General Yuan at the moment, it will not be safe for a long time, there will be a war...Wouldn''t Wenhou meet Zhengxi face-to-face and ask for a job …Firstly, you can continue to lead the army, so that your life and death will not be in the hands of others; secondly, you will have a place to live, and your son will have something to rely on; thirdly, it is also the wish of Quan Wenhou to return to his hometown..."


    Lv Bu''s breath was obviously a little short after hearing this, he frowned, tilted his head, and said after a long time: "I understand the meaning of the public platform... It''s just that this position is so important, how can Zheng Xi accept it lightly?"


    Chen Gong said with a smile: "If Zhengxi refuses to agree, Marquis Wen can switch to the next best thing... In this way, Zhengxi will feel ashamed when he comes here, and secondly, because he has a reputation as a good man, he must agree..."


    Lu Bu was silent for a while, but still didn''t make up his mind, and said, "Think about it again..."


    Chen Gong was a little helpless, sighed, shook his head and said, "Marquis Wen..."


    "Someone said...someone will think about it again..." Lu Bu said with a frown, and then felt that he seemed to be a little sorry for Chen Gong, so he added, "someone also knows that the public platform is dedicated to this, but this matter is of great importance. I still need to think about it, and please forgive me..."


    Lv Bu has said this, what else can Chen Gong say, he can only bow his hands and retreat...


    ………………


    Pingyang government office lobby.


    Xun Chen sat aside, stroking his beard, squinting his eyes and said: "Wen Hou is brave, but... So Wen Hou may not have many thoughts in his mind, I am afraid that the key lies in Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai..."


    Although Xun Chen didn''t have much contact with Chen Gong, as a counselor''s intuition, Xun Chen concluded that Chen Gong must have played a certain role in it.


    Fei Qian was also a little helpless.


    Zhou Zhang advised Lu Bu to let Lu Bu give up Luoyang. Fei Qian just found out about this, but Zhou Zhang did not come back with Lu Bu, and stayed in Luoyang. After all, as a professional who knows some agricultural technology, as long as he doesn''t take the initiative to provoke trouble, he is extremely welcome no matter where he is...


    In addition, Zhou Zhang''s hometown is in Heluo. Although he is a Tuntian school lieutenant, his official position is not high, but he is quite noble, so naturally he will not give up everything easily and return to Pingyang to be a big soldier or It is an ordinary civil servant.


    Perhaps in Zhou Zhang''s mind, persuading Lu Bu to come to Fei Qian is a way to repay Fei Qian, but the problem is that this method not only brings joy to Fei Qian, but also some surprises.


    Feiqian nodded, and said slowly: "There is something I don''t understand...Chen Gongtai...who is it..."


    Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously not keeping up with Fei Qian''s rhythm. After pondering for a moment, he frowned, nodded and said, "If my lord doesn''t mention it, I didn''t pay attention... It is indeed that I was negligent, didn''t think carefully, and still I hope my lord will forgive me..."


    Fei Qian waved his hands and said: "If you don''t have to be like this, no one is perfect, how can there be someone who understands everything at the moment? Each has its own focus..."


    Xun Chen Gong bowed his hands to thank Fei Qian, and then said: "So...Chen Gongtai should be Er Yuan''s subordinate, but I don''t know whether it is Yuan Da or Yuan Er..."


    Fei Qian nodded silently.


    According to the current known situation, Chen Gong is obviously not on the same side as Cao Cao, and it is impossible to be on the same side as Yang Biao, so Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and Er Yuan are left. Apart from Er Yuan, even Liu Biao is not attractive enough, so if Chen Gong has contact with other princes, then basically it can be concluded that it must be related to Er Yuan...


    The question is whether Chen Gong belongs to Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu.


    If it is Yuan Shu, it can still be used to some extent. Because there is no possibility of direct battle between Fei Qian and Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is being beaten by Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Most of Yuzhou has been lost. It depends on whether Sun Ce has turned against the water like in history. Then Yuan Shu''s path basically came to an end.


    But in case Chen Gong belongs to Yuan Shao...


    That''s pretty serious.


    But the problem is that Fei Qian does not have any direct evidence to show this.


    Although the laws of the Han Dynasty, um, no matter when the laws are for the political high-level, they must be maintained on the surface after all, and Lu Bu was once a prince of a place, and now he has just defected to Feiqian, and then Feiqian Qian used trumped-up charges to bring down Lu Bu''s subordinates for questioning, what would the latecomers think?


    Therefore, not only can Fei Qian not touch Lu Bu, but also can''t touch Lu Bu''s subordinates, at least at this stage, he can''t do it right away. Even if he wants to do it, he needs to find a suitable reason, or let this person completely smell the street Then do it again, just like Cao Cao endured it for a long time before beheading Xu You...


    Feiqian sighed, and said slowly: "Give it a try..."


    Only when you move, will you have a flaw, so even if there is a risk, you still have to try it...
