Chapter 783
Zhang Tianyuan, a famous scholar in Shengjing, has such a big name. The key is that he and Qi Yuanzhi are old friends. They haven't seen each other for many years, but they chatted with each other very easily at first sight today.
Zhang Tianyuan is still so generous and elegant. He expressed his admiration for Qi Yuanzhi in his words, which is very good.
The two of them were particularly unsatisfied when they chatted and drank tea. Qi Yuanzhi immediately ordered his servants to prepare a table of wine and food. While they were drinking, they talked about the past. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhang Tianyuan said with a slightly drunkenness:
"Yuanzhi, I, Zhang Tianyuan, have always been self-conceited, but I have been depressed over the years. I won't mention it when I was in the northwest. Our whole family was almost destroyed by Song Naifeng. The whole family moved to Liaodong. If the land is not suitable for the country, we will naturally be excluded by others. Fortunately, our whole family has been working together over the years. The key is that after Lord Lu Zheng came, we will implement the equalization method. Our Zhang family has benefited a lot in recent years. Brothers, Lord Lu Zheng is a rare wise master. Brothers are really lucky and lucky to follow Lord Lu Zheng. I am very envious of brothers!"
Zhang Tianyuan said this and put one hand on Qi Yuanzhi's shoulder and said, "Brothers are not pretentious, and you are not polite. This time I came here to beg my brothers! I, Zhang Tianyuan, have been unruly all my life. The only regret is that I failed to do things for the country and the people. In the past, I was very heartbroken and felt that dealing with these intrigue officials was boring, but now I only hope to get the opportunity to show my ambitions. I know that my brother is now the celebrity Lu Zheng sits down, and all the shameless people come to the door..."
Qi Yuanzhi was slightly stunned for a moment, and his expression became particularly strange. Hey, he didn't expect that Zhang Tianyuan had such a thought when he came to him. Why is it difficult to ask for an official position?
Is it so interesting to be an official under Lu Zheng? When Qi Yuanzhi thought of Lu Zheng, he couldn't help but feel resentment. He originally wanted to follow Song Wensong, but Lu Zheng used his means to tie Qi Yuanzhi and the interests of the entire Qi family together, making people unable to escape.
Lu Zheng tried every means to keep Qi Yuanzhi. If he could use it as much as Song Wensong, it would be fine. Qi Yuanzhi's ambition could be displayed. But now Lu Zheng is stubborn and has many counselors under his command. Qi Yuanzhi is just one of the many counselors. And if Qi Yuanzhi doesn't speculate, he may even be among the counselors.
The person who was most marginalized was even more depressed.
However, in this situation, he was never willing to tell Zhang Tianyuan about his state of mind, because his identity was quite different from Zhang Tianyuan since childhood, and he felt inferior in front of Zhang Tianyuan.
In a blink of an eye, Qi Yuanzhi was no longer the poor scholar he had back then. Now, he has been considered a Mingtang. This time, the Qi family entered Shengjing and made a big noise. The entire Shengjing capital knew that Lu Zheng looked at Qi Yuanzhi differently because he was attracted by Qi Yuanzhi's talent.
Against this background, Qi Yuanzhi should have a sense of superiority in front of Zhang Tianyuan now, how can he show his timidity? But he was unhappy in his heart, so he just kept his head to drink and drown his sorrows!
Seeing Qi Yuanzhi's appearance, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but frown and said, "Yuanzhi, why do you drink like this? Can you help me with what my brother asks for? Give me a sure letter!"
Qi Yuanzhi said: "Brother Tianyuan, if you want to be an official, I can help you. No matter what, I still have some face in front of Lu Zheng. Brother Tianyuan is a famous scholar in Shengjing and is determined to serve the country and the people. This is also a situation that Lu Zheng really wants to see! But...ah, it's hard to describe it!"
Zhang Tianyuan said: "Yuanzhi, look at you who are frowning. What are you talking about? You and I are brothers. If my brother can help you, I will do my best. By the way, even if your brother can't help, you can vent some emotions if you talk to me today, right?"
Qi Yuanzhi said: "To be honest, Brother Tianyuan, I just worked on a job with Lu Zheng, and there are some things that cannot be fulfilled! Lu Zheng is young and has a high talent, so he often acts stubbornly! Take this battle with the Northwest Army this time, hey, Lu Zheng thinks things too simple, he really thinks that his Nanfu Army has the ability to fight against the Northwest Army! Alas, many of these things are hard to describe, and some things cannot be said, but they are related to the secrets in the army. Forget it, I still keep these things in my heart and think about them, even if I say them out.
It doesn't help but only adds troubles!" Zhang Tianyuan said: "Yuanzhi, since it is a secret in the army, it's still impossible to say. OK, OK, I think something is making Yuanzhi unhappy. It turns out that it is such a thing! Yuanzhi, Lu Zheng is a very smart person, and he has never obviously fallen into a disadvantage in the years of confrontation with Song Naifeng! He suffered repeated losses but was because he had a few major generals under his command, and he often had the upper hand in strategy! Since that's the case, Lu Zheng must have a plan to deal with Song Naifeng this time, why do you need to be so pessimistic? "
Qi Yuanzhi shook his head and said, "Brother Tianyuan, I am not worried about it! If Lu Zheng did this, the chaos would come! How could Lu Zheng have the same situation in the Central Plains and Liaodong? In the Central Plains, the Northwest Army can exert up to 50% of its combat power! But Lu Zheng can exert all its combat power.
Now Lu Zheng can exert up to 50% of his strength, and Song Naifeng is doing his best. The two sides fight on the Liaodong Plain. Wouldn't the outcome be decided long ago?" Qi Yuanzhi was originally going to keep silent, but he really couldn't help it. This good catharsis only poured out the bamboo tube and beans that were thinking these days. He used the alcohol to tell all the situation in the army.
Zhang Tianyuan comforted Qi Yuanzhi with great care, so that Qi Yuanzhi would not think too much. Perhaps Lu Zheng had already had a solution to it. Anyway, after this exchange, both of them were drunk! Qi Yuanzhi woke up and forgot about yesterday's incident. There was only one thing he had not forgotten, that is, Zhang Tianyuan came to the door and asked him to find a way out for him!
The next morning, Lu Zheng summoned everyone to discuss the matter again. Qi Yuanzhi was too lazy to talk about other matters. He only said that Zhang Tianyuan, a famous scholar in Shengjing, was his old friend for many years, and was extremely talented. This time he wanted to be an official, hoping that Lu Zheng could agree. Lu Zheng was overjoyed and immediately recruited Zhang Tianyuan into the tent. After Zhang Tianyuan came over, he was full of words and said everything. Lu Zheng was even more happy. He immediately agreed to Zhang Tianyuan and asked him to serve as Sima of Xiangzhou. This kind of heroism made Qi Yuanzhi feel very proud. However, when he thought of the crisis that might be faced in the next battle, he couldn't be better. He immediately took advantage of Lu Zheng's lack of discussion and asked to see Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng first shirked away because he had family affairs, but Qi Yuanzhi was persistent. After waiting for several days, Lu Zheng finally met him in his small conference hall. As soon as the two met, Qi Yuanzhi couldn't wait to express his worries. In the past few days, he had been thinking about the matter of this war, so all the ideas had been completely thought about in his mind. Therefore, he had no obstacles to say it. He could say everything clearly, clearly, and it was extremely clear!
After hearing his words, Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "Yuanzhi, you are really good at thinking, but you can't help but underestimate the ability of our Nanfu Army! This time, our Nanfu Army sent troops to fight with Song Naifeng in Huangzhou. As the saying goes, soldiers come to block the generals, and water comes to cover the soil. If Song Naifeng really dares to come, how can I not dare to fight?
You said that my Nanfu Army was not good at combat effectiveness, I can admit that, but if I can the Nanfu Army did not fight against a strong man, how can I improve its combat effectiveness? So now I have decided to fight this battle, and I must compete with Song Naifeng!"
Lu Zheng paused and said, "As for what you said about the mountains and mountains, it's simply a worry. Song Naifeng's cavalry is invincible in the world. Will he give up his strengths and have to come to Liaodong from the mountain?
In Liaodong, we must first think about the method of using troops. Our Nanfu army is stronger than mountain wars and weaker than cavalry. How could Song Naifeng give up his strengths?"
Lu Zheng's words left Qi Yuanzhi speechless. He was extremely angry but could not fight back. After he came home unlucky, he closed the door to thank the guests. After being bored for several days, Zhang Tianyuan came to the door again. It turned out that Zhang Tianyuan had got Sima's job and was about to go and take office. If he didn't come, he would thank Qi Yuanzhi.
The two of them had a very scheming conversation before, so this time they naturally had to drink a drink. This time, Qi Yuanzhi was even more worried. When he was drinking halfway, he vented all his unhappiness and pointed the finger at Lu Zheng.
But Lu Zheng was not idle at this time. His nerves were very tense since the Northwest Army was about to fight in Liaodong. He knew Song Naifeng better than Qi Yuanzhi. If he had to face this powerful opponent, Lu Zheng, he would not take the initiative to provoke him!
Now that the opponent has taken the initiative to hit the door, it is absolutely difficult for him to welcome guests. Under such circumstances, Lu Zheng was nervous inside, but he dared not show any of it on his face. It was really loose on the outside and tight on the inside!
The boys have been traveling around Liaodong these days. Lu Zheng's powerful intelligence system is running at high speed. The latest news from the northwest came. Lu Zheng's heart is sinking more and more. At this moment, the Northwest Army has all set off from Longyou, but this time their food and grass were not transported to Bingzhou first. The Bingzhou Army is only preparing five food and grass. Such preparation is obviously impossible to go south to the Central Plains!
Before the troops moved, food and grass came first. There was not enough food and grass to enter the Central Plains, so the point of Song Naifeng's military pioneer was extremely clear.
