Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Deng were left behind by Lü Bu to set up camp. It could be said that they were on guard. If something happened, with Zhang Liao as the commander and Chen Gong as the support, they could deal with it.
Lü Bu, Chen Gong, and Liu Mang were led by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into the Wan Cheng government office. Sun Cejun was very good at doing things. He let Lü Bu become the leader while Sun Ce was under Lü Bu. This showed that Sun Ce attached great importance to Lü Bu. It could be said that he respected Lü Bu. However, this made the civil and military officials behind Sun Ce very unhappy.
The banquet began amidst the pleasantries.
Beautiful dancers, delicious food, and fine wine. It could be said that this was the best meal that Liu Mang had ever eaten since he started following Boss Lu.
After three rounds of wine, Lü Bu was very satisfied with Sun Ce's hospitality.
"Wen Hou's martial prowess is the best in the world. He is the god of war in the army. It is difficult for us to reach him. It is really admirable! Come, let me propose a toast to Wen Hou on behalf of the civil and military officials of Jiangdong! " Sun Ce has long admired Lu Bu's martial arts. Since the beginning, Sun Ce has also set Lu Bu as his goal. At Hulao Gate, Lu Bu was able to suppress 18 warlords, and in the midst of chaos, Lu Bu was able to take the enemy general's head.
Lü Bu's martial prowess had reached the peak of the refinement stage. Sun Ce looked at Lü Bu with envy. He had also entered the refinement stage, but there was still some distance between him and the peak. Therefore, he really respected Lü Bu.
"En!" Lü Bu nodded. "Sun Ce, Bofu Sun, Jiangdong's Little Conqueror, you have entered the refinement stage at such a young age. You are also not bad!" Sun Ce was indeed not bad. Lü Bu and Sun Ce were at the same level as Sun Ce. In terms of martial prowess, Lü Bu was much worse than Sun Ce.
First of all, when he was at Sun Ce's age, he was just a small Registrar. He was not like Sun Ce who had already conquered Jiangdong.
"You are stronger than your father!" Lü Bu thought of Sun Ce's father. He was the only one who could make Dong Zhuo restless and the only person who defeated Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army. He was the only person who defeated defeated defeated Dong Zhuo's Army.
Their words had even risen to the level of a conversation between a senior and a junior. One called him uncle, the other called him nephew, and the atmosphere was harmonious. No one knew that these two people had never met before.
"In Wen Hou's eyes, what kind of person is my father?" Everyone thought that Sun Ce was insatiably greedy and delusional. He wanted to seize the Imperial Seal of Legacy, which led to his tragic death. However, in Sun Ce's eyes, his father would always be a lofty figure.
"Your father?!" Lu Bu drank a glass of wine. Is Sun Ce a man who is loyal to his sovereign and patriot? He had indeed entered Luoyang and defeated Dong Zhuo, but he had secretly kept the Imperial Seal of Legacy.
Was he an ambitious and ruthless person in chaotic times? However, while the eighteen feudal lords were thinking about improper matters, only Sun Ce was still thinking about how to enter Chang 'an to suppress Dong Zhuo.
It was very difficult to judge a person. After thinking for a long time, Lü Bu only replied with four words: "Fallen General!"
"Fallen General!" Sun Ce said in a low voice as he carefully chewed on the words. The ancients held a sense of reverence for the stars in the universe. To be able to compare a person to the stars in the sky was a sufficient affirmation.
Lü Bu was originally Sun Ce's enemy. Had he obtained the enemy's affirmation?
Father, your soul in heaven can rest in peace.
Lü Bu's affirmation of Sun Ce greatly increased the relationship between the two. Their words had even risen to the level of a conversation between a senior and a junior. One called him uncle, the other called him 'Worthy Nephew', and the atmosphere was harmonious. No one knew that these two had never met before.
Sun Ce's deliberate flattery and Lü Bu's indifferent acceptance made it seem like Lü Bu was reaching for a yard after getting an inch in the eyes of the civil and military officials of Jiangdong.
Normal people would naturally say that they were too kind and refuse the praise. However, Lü Bu was different. If he said one, it was one. If he said two, it was two.
Moreover, what he said was the truth.
Finally, a Jiangdong scholar could not stand it anymore and stood up with a cup of wine in his hand: "General Lü, the sage said that the one who reaches the top is the teacher. Today, I, Qin Song, have a question to ask!"
Qin Song's courtesy name was Wenbiao, and he was from Guangling. He was Sun Ce's advisor and also a member of Jiangdong's nobility. He also contributed to the stability of Jiangdong.
"I don't dare to ask. If you have something to say, just say it!" Lü Bu knew that Qin Song was looking for trouble.
Sure enough, Qin Song sneered: "I would like to ask General Lü. You have been around for a long time. You must know the heroes of the world. Please point them out!"
"Discussing heroes while drinking?" Liu Mang froze for a moment. However, looking at Lü Bu's frowning face, he knew that it was not that simple.
"Been around for a long time?" What nonsense was this? Sun Ce was a feudal lord, and Lü Bu was also a feudal lord. A feudal lord should be the ruler of a region. To put it bluntly, Qin Song was mocking Lü Fengxian for being like a stray dog who did not even have a territory for so many years.
"Wenbiao, step down!" Sun Ce frowned. He did not ask Qin Song to mock Lü Bu. "Wen Hou, please don't blame me!"
Mocking Boss Lü for not having a territory? Liu Mang understood. Chen Gong was not here. If Chen Gong was here, he would naturally step up. Now, only Liu Mang, Lü Bu, and Zang Ba were present.
Zang Ba also understood. He was a warlord and did not have a good eloquence. When his lord was insulted, he naturally became angry and drew his sword.
However, he was stopped by Liu Mang.
Did he want to fight in Sun Ce's hall? Not to mention the guards outside, there were no less than five warlords in Sun Ce's hall. If they really fought, even if Liu Mang, Zang Ba, and Lü Bu were as strong as them, they would have to suffer. Moreover, if they were provoked to fight, wouldn't it be telling others that the Lvbu's Army was full of barbarians?
"Qin Song, Mister Qin Wenbiao, right? Heroes should ask each other! May I ask if Mister is a hero? " Qin Song's question could not be answered at all. If you answered the question about heroes, it would be equivalent to accepting Qin Song's mockery. If you cared about traveling, it would reveal your lack of magnanimity.
Therefore, Liu Mang could only smooth things over and ask if Mister was a hero. If Qin Song said yes, then he was shameless. Heroes were evaluated by others. How could he talk about himself? If Qin Song said no, then it was simple. There was no need to discuss the topic raised by Qin Song.
Liu Mang did not expect this old man called Qin Song to be so narcissistic. "I can't be considered a hero, but I have read the books of the sages. I understand the words of the sages. I have the same surname! I respect the ancestors of the family! "
The surname of the family? Respect the ancestors of the family? This old man did not forget to be sarcastic while praising himself.
To Lü Bu, what kind of title could make Lü Bu go crazy? Naturally, it was the slave of three surnames that Zhang Fei had mentioned. What Qin Song said now was no different from the slave of three surnames.
Liu Mang saw that Lü Bu's face gradually turned cold and his hands were behind his back.
Good! Good! Good! Since Old Man Qin Song is so shameless, I will fulfill your wish!
Liu Mang was also angered by this old man. He said, "I have long heard of Qin Song of Guangling. Qin Wenbiao is knowledgeable and is a great scholar. Today, I see that it is indeed so!"
"Hanyang, you?!" Zang Ba did not understand. This Qin Song was about to point at the lord's nose and scold. Not only did Hanyang not help the lord to fight back, he even praised Qin Song.
Liu Mang did not respond to Zang Ba. Instead, he looked at Qin Song with a smile.
"Oh, this old man's name is already like this!" Qin Song wanted to see the Lvbu's Army make a fool of themselves. Lü Bu was a person who had both praise and blame. Some scholars could tolerate him, such as Chen Gong, Chen Deng, and Zhou Yu. They all liked Lü Bu.
However, some people could not tolerate him, especially those so-called moralists, such as Kong Rong and Qin Song.
"If you are smart and eager to learn, this old man can give you a few pointers!" Qin Song stroked his beard. The Lvbu's Army really had no one. Even after being scolded like this, he still had to accept it with a smile.
Laugh, laugh! You will cry later.
"I have heard that Old Mister Qin Song has eight great virtues. Today, since everyone is here, I will tell you all about them!" Liu Mang's lips curled into a smile. Others could not see it, but Lü Bu, who was sitting on the main seat, could see it clearly.
This Qin Song was going to be unlucky. Lü Bu had seen Liu Mang's scolding skills. In Kaiyang City, he could make Cao Cao fly into a rage and almost kill Liu Mang. Liu Mang's skills could be seen.
