Chapter 176 Zuo Ci goes to the horse, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false(1/3)
“Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild.
I have guests who will play the harp and sheng..."
When Zhang Kun came to this world, it was his first time to enjoy a serious music banquet.
It can only be said that at this time, the entertainment methods of noble families were extremely elegant.
At least, the Qiao family is very elegant.
It's nothing like Lu Bu's military family who came from the border and would perform sword dances and set up battle formations for you to see.
In the Lu family, the only thing that can be related to entertainment is Mrs. Diao Chan’s invitation to play piano, play chess, and talk about poetry and composition...
However, playing the piano with Diao Chan was not playing the piano. From the beginning to the end, Zhang Kun did not listen. Without him, Lu Bu watched with open eyes, and there was no atmosphere at all.
Besides, I didn’t dare to create any atmosphere.
And what about at the Qiao family?
Zhang Kun even felt that the master Qiao Gong had invited the best musicians in Anhui City. It was an ordinary book of poems, "Xiaoya. Lu Ming", played with silk and bamboo orchestra, and it made people seem to have arrived.
On the green grassland, seeing the bright sun shining high, the gentle breeze blowing, I felt relaxed and happy, and the fragrance of flowers filled my nostrils.
Of course, it’s not just the fragrance of flowers, but also the fragrance of “flowers”.
Da Qiao is dignified and soft, while Xiao Qiao is bright and cheerful.
The two of them stood around and toasted.
One person sings and sings, and the other dances gracefully. It makes people wish they had a few more ears and a few more eyes...
"good."
After the song ended, Zhang Kun held up his hands and laughed.
"No wonder that after Sun Boxu and Zhou Gongjin came to Wancheng, they came to Qiaogong's house to ask for the marriage of these two young ladies during their busy schedule between battles. They turned out to be immortals, and I felt pity for them.
"
Upon hearing this, both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were overjoyed and came forward to greet him shyly.
Da Qiao was more prudent, and after bowing lightly, he said thanks: "Thank you for protecting me, sir. If you hadn't come personally, my family would really not know how to get along."
Xiao Qiao was lively, and she secretly looked at Zhang Kun. Seeing his handsome appearance, impressive bearing, and gleaming light in his eyes, she felt a little awe-struck for a moment, and she didn't dare to take another look.
"Miss, you are serious. You and I only made a verbal agreement. We haven't submitted a written request for an appointment yet. We are not considered members of the Sun and Zhou families. I can only say that some people are too impatient. I hope Haihan will do anything to disturb you."
Qiao Gong hurriedly answered: "I really admire you for your magnanimous mind. I heard that Anhui City is in chaos now and there is a shortage of manpower, so I shamelessly recommended myself to serve as a good example."
"If Mr. Qiao takes action, Wancheng will have no worries."
Zhang Kun pulled Mr. Qiao, raised his head and laughed.
Yes, this old man is still very considerate.
Who was he? He was originally an official in the imperial court. Because he was dissatisfied with the emperor being ruled by Cao Cao, he resigned and went into seclusion and came to live in the eastern suburbs of Wancheng, his hometown.
All I can say is that nowhere is a paradise.
After arriving in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came to visit them again.
With these two young men coming to his door with murderous intent, he couldn't do it even if he didn't want to marry her.
I specially came to visit and invited Zhang Kun to come.
Actually it's not for any other reason.
Thank you very much.
On that day, Zhang Kun asked Guan Yu to check how many Taiping believers there were in Wancheng and who should be punished or beaten. The Qiao family was reported and implicated.
There are even some merchants and wealthy families sharpening their swords, preparing to carve up and suppress the Qiao family. The reason is also very simple. It is not because they have an affair with the demon Yu Ji, but because they have a relationship with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
When Sun Ce was not alive, he still refused to surrender after being captured, and he died a worthy death.
The Zhou Yu brothers had a deep love for each other, but they refused to surrender, and both of them were killed by the sword...
They were willing to be tough and not cherish their own lives, but this not only affected their family, but also the Qiao family who had verbally promised to marry.
After hearing about this incident, Zhang Kun only said one sentence, "It has nothing to do with his family, so it must not be too widely implicated."
In his opinion, it was just a kind of cherishment for historical celebrities, and he gave a casual instruction.
What has changed is the fate of the family.
Only then did the scene where Duke Qiao invited Zhang Kun to come over for a banquet.
In order to make him enjoy the meal, Mr. Qiao even called his two charming daughters to accompany him, and his intention was obvious.
Obviously, this old man resigned from his job and went into seclusion to escape from death.
I finally understood that in these troubled times, if I have no power and no one above me, I am just a piece of dough that can be kneaded at will.
It is rare to meet a prince who shows kindness to him, and he is still a powerful person who is expected to dominate the world. How can he not firmly grasp this life-saving straw?
Therefore, what he said was a family dinner, but in fact, it was a blind date.
From the looks of things, both parties were very satisfied.
As for two women serving one husband together, will it cause gossip?
In the past, Mr. Qiao would naturally have refused, but now, his mind has long changed, and he feels that it is very good. At least the sisters will not be separated, and they will be taken care of to some extent.
Compared with the finalization of the marriage between the two sisters, Duke Qiao's self-recommendation as the magistrate of Anhui City was the icing on the cake.
Having served as a court official for many years, he is very familiar with political affairs. After the old man took office, Wancheng was naturally fine.
"Dongfeng doesn't want to be with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun locks Er Qiao..."
"Mrs. Cao, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Zhang Kun left the Qiao Mansion and got on the carriage under the reluctant eyes of everyone in the Qiao family. He murmured a few words and chuckled.
Everyone meandered away.
Next, everything was peaceful in Jiangdong, and Zhang Zhao and his party were progressing very smoothly. However, after a month and a half, all Wu soldiers surrendered without losing a fight.
From then on, all the forces under Sun Ce were taken over by Zhang Kun. It was a peaceful handover and spared the people the suffering of war and chaos. From this aspect, it was also Zhang Kun's wish.
…
In the autumn of the fourth year of Jian'an, there was a good harvest in Wu, and the Xuzhou military camp also achieved great results.
Moreover, 150,000 soldiers were mobilized from the two prefectures and counties, and the total force under his command reached 250,000 infantry and cavalry.
Zhang Kun moved to the Shouchun Imperial Palace, and the civil and military ministers Xian gathered together to request the title of King of Wu.
After three requests and three concessions, Zhang Kun held the throne high and accepted the worship of the ministers...
At the court meeting, Zhang Zhao drafted a proclamation, raised the banner of "Qing the emperor's side, and punished the unruly ministers" again, and vowed to march north.
From then on, the world was shaken and the princes were furious.
Especially Cao Cao.
I heard that he couldn't sleep all night long, and he even slashed two maids who were sleeping with him with his sword.
No wonder Cao Cao was so angry.
Because he had just killed Zhang Yang in Hanoi and faced Yuan Shao in Hebei across the river, a war between the two sides was imminent.
Nanyang Zhangxiu, also under the attack of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, could no longer hold on and finally surrendered.
His power increased greatly and he was satisfied with his ambition. However, he heard the news that troops from the south were raising troops to march north. This was tantamount to a blow to the head.
The situation suddenly became dangerous.
With Yuan Shao in front and Zhang Kun in the back, no matter which side is easy to deal with, they can only defend to the death and be ready to mobilize the army at any time.
"Order Lu Bu and Gao Shun to immediately send troops to attack Yanzhou... with Lingqi as the main general once fighting breaks out in the north."
Zhang Kun thought for a while and added, "Let them listen carefully. If we win this battle completely, we will have a chance to become a marquis. If we screw up, we can't even think about leading troops and going into battle to kill the enemy."
The latter sentence was actually meant for Lu Bu.
This is indeed a great general of the time, and he is unstoppable in battle.
However, my brain is a bit stupid.
In particular, he and Gao Shun were in the same army. In the past, Lu Bu was the leader and Gao Shun was his subordinate. Now if the situation is reversed, Lu Bu would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Lu Lingqi was the main general to hold him hostage.
No matter what, when faced with a strong daughter, as an old man, he must give up three points.
In this way, it is like a fierce horse that is tied with a rein. No matter how strong-tempered he is, he has to bow his head and obey orders.
"This is a brilliant plan."
When Guo Fengxiao heard the order, he couldn't help but smile.
This military advisor, after undergoing many acupuncture treatments, his body recovered very quickly and began to become stronger.
Especially after he took time to practice the twelve animal forms passed down by Zhang Kun every day, he could eat three bowls of rice per meal, his energy was so high, and he had long since lost his original sick appearance.
