When Liu Wei heard this, he was very excited, and the reason for this was nothing more than hearing that Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, the three giants of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, actually appeared in the same room.

Liu Wei was just about to respond to Lu Zhi's question, but Liu Hong preemptively asked: "What do these two sons surnamed Liu say?" ”

Liu Hongzhi's question was not aimed at anyone, so it seemed to be asking Liu Wei and Lu Zhi.

Liu Wei was suddenly questioned, dumbfounded, but was seen by Lu Zhi, and said first: "A few years ago, the old minister ran a private school at the foot of the Wu Mountain, and these two children surnamed Liu came to study, and they were called the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing, after King Jing of Zhongshan, what was the name of the grandfather, the old minister couldn't remember, but it seemed that the official went to the county order of Fan County, Dongjun, and both of them were funded by Liu Deran's father. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he was shocked: "These two children are actually Emperor Jing, so they are related to me." ”

When asked about the royal bloodline, Lu Zhi naturally didn't dare to say much, so he only stood upright with his hands down and was silent.

Liu Hong put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth and muttered to himself: "In my early years, I looked through the genealogical classics, and vaguely remembered that after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, there was a person who was sealed as a marquis in Zhuo County, and later he was exempted from the marquis because of the lack of gold quality to help and sacrifice in the temple. ”

Zhu Jun was unimpressed when he heard this, and even asked: "How can Your Highness be so sure, what if these two sons are just greedy for the future and lie about Emperor Jing?" ”

"Absolutely not." Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "Don't say that there are so many children surnamed Liu in the world, there are only Zhuo County, and there are hundreds of people surnamed Liu, how can only these two teenagers be so bold?" Let's say that the words of these two teenagers are all the same, if they are ordinary Qianshou civilians, how can they have such a family heirloom, there is no need to worry too much, there is no need to worry too much. ”

Lu Zhi arched his hand and said: "It is about the blood of the royal family, and the minister also sent someone to investigate the family history of these two sons, but he knew that the grandfather of the two of them was indeed Liu Xiong, the county commander of Fan County, so far it is absolutely correct. ”

"Lu Zhonglang has a heart." Liu Hong bowed slightly, approving, and then turned his head and asked Liu Bian: "How did Ah Wei know about Liu Bei and Liu Deran?" ”

Hearing everyone say this conversation, Liu Wei didn't know how to explain, and now he has already thought of how to deal with it, so he said calmly: "In the past, the sons lived at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, and they heard what Shi Ziyi and the sons said. ”

"Oh? Shi Ziyi actually knows? Liu Hong raised his eyebrows and asked blankly, "What did Shi Ziyi say?" ”

"It was Shi Ziyi who went to Zhuo County in the past and bought a pair of straw sandals and a roll of straw mats from Liu Bei's mother."

"What such a coincidence!" Liu Hong muttered to himself, then turned his head to look at Lu Zhi and asked, "Don't you think that Liu Bei's mother is a woman who weaves mats and sells shoes?" Where is his father? ”

Lu Zhi replied: "Liu Bei is lonely, and there is only one old mother in the family. ”

Liu Hong's expression was sluggish, nodded unconsciously, and sighed: "I lost my father when I was young, and it was so miserable. Fu turned around and asked Liu, "What happened after that?" ”

"Shi Ziyi and Erchen have a saying, but there are so many people surnamed Liu in the world, and there are so many children surnamed Liu, why are they also children surnamed Liu, like Erchen, they can be born noble and have no worries about the future, but people like Liu Bei can only sell shoes on the streets, and they don't know the year of birth."

Liu Hong chuckled: "This Shi Ziyi seems to be a cautious person in front of me, but I never thought that there would be such arrogant words. ”

"Ran Shi Chang waits...... What Shi Ziyi said is not wrong. Lu Zhi said.

"In that case." Liu Hong sighed and said softly: "These Liu Bei and Liu Deran are useful?" ”

"Liu Deran is a loyal person, following the rules, respecting the teacher, the old minister thinks that this person can be useful." Lu Zhi said.

"What about Liu Bei?"

"Liu Bei is stubborn, good at chasing dogs, not good at reading." Lu Zhi continued: "The minister thought that he was a frivolous person, and he achieved nothing when he was studying, and now that he has returned to the township, he must have gained even more nothing, so the minister feels that this person is useless." ”

Liu Hong shook his head and said, "Since we are both descendants of Emperor Jing, let's give some opportunities if you can." Then he turned his head and asked Lu Zhi, "How old are these two people?" ”

Lu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Liu Bei was studying in Wushi Mountain, but his hair was not long ago, and his bear brother Liu Deran was naturally a few years older, so Liu Bei was only a weak crown at this time, more than twenty years old, and Liu Deran was only about twenty-two or three. ”

Liu Hong bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "In the end, it's still a young man, Lu Zhonglang thinks, what kind of position should these two people have?" ”

Lu Zhi arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that the two of them are still young, and they have no official status, let alone military merits, so they cannot be awarded military positions in any case." ”

"In the end, it is Lu Zhonglang's student, and he is a descendant of the royal family, if he enters the military camp in white, it will be somewhat embarrassing." Liu Hong said with an embarrassed smile.

"Since Your Majesty values these two people so much, why don't you ask the old minister to repair a letter with these two sons, if they can gather the crowd to join the army, there are five people, so that it is convenient for the two of them to be the commander, ten people are the chiefs, five hundred people are the military marquis, and a thousand people are Sima, what does Your Majesty think?"

"So good." Liu Hong clapped his hands and smiled: "But if the two of them really led a thousand people to come, should Lu Zhonglang really give him Sima?" A white body suddenly became a thousand stone Sima, which aroused some suspicion. ”

Before Lu Zhi could answer, he heard Huangfu Song step forward and say: "Just a young man selling shoes, how can there be thousands of people with him, Your Majesty is too worried, besides, these two Liu Ruo can really bring thousands of people to join the army, I think he must be a capable person, and he can naturally have outstanding military industry on the battlefield. ”

"What Huangfu Zhonglang said is reasonable." Liu Hong nodded in response.

Before the words fell, seeing that Liu Wei, who had been silent for a long time, but was slightly excited, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Erchen also has two heroes to recommend?" ”

When Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi heard Liu Wei's words, they each smiled, but they didn't question it, they just stood quietly on the spot and listened to his words.

Liu Hong glanced at everyone, turned to Liu Biao and smiled: "Ah Bian, which two heroes and heroes want to recommend." ”

"One of them is a person from the Nine Plains of Wuyuan County."

Liu was halfway through his speech, but he heard Liu Hong interrupt: "Jiuyuan people? Didn't Shi Ziyi recommend it to you? ”

"Not bad." Liu Wei replied calmly: "Since Erchen knew that the Taiping Road anti-thieves were employed by the imperial court, it happened that Shi Ziyan went down to the township and county, and he called himself to find the township heroes and recommend them to the imperial court. ”

Vested in the three Zhonglang generals in front of the hall to recommend generals, the recommended people just listen to the name, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Liu Deran, in addition to this Liu Deran, all of them are heroes, Liu Hong is infinitely happy in his heart, as if these people are riding horses on the battlefield, and they will be able to kill all the Taiping Road thieves in a few days. ”

Liu Weiwei arched his hand and said calmly: "This person's surname is Lu, his name is cloth, his name is Fengxian, and his age is the same as Sun Jian recommended by Zhu Gong, and he is also twenty-eight years old. ”

"Lu Fengxian?" Liu Hong muttered to himself: "It sounds like a heroic hero, what position does this person have now?" ”

"The sons of the county's heroes have no official position."

Liu Hong frowned, nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "In this way, a Qiantou, how can you know that he is a hero?" ”

"Shi Ziyi said, this person is the leader of a ranger in Jiuyuan County, a hundred steps can shoot a willow branch with a bow, and immediately fight, the three of them are not their opponents, the kid has never been on the battlefield, naturally I don't know if these can be called heroes? The three Zhonglang generals are all tiger generals in the world, galloping on the battlefield, killing countless enemies, when do you know that such a hundred steps through Yang archery and the invincible courage of these three heroes, but ordinary people can do? When Liu Wei heard Liu Hong's question, he turned around and asked the three lieutenant generals, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi.

"A hundred steps away can wear willows, but it is impossible to have extremely accurate eyesight and extremely strong humerus." Huangfu Song shook his head slightly, and said word by word.

"Fighting with the three of them, if it weren't for the superb martial arts and unparalleled riding skills, it would be even more absurd." Zhu Jun also raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"If this person really has this archery, riding skills, and such exquisite martial arts, he really can do it." Lu Zhi twisted his beard and said so.

"Such a character can be compared to Cao Cao?" Liu Hong asked.

Huangfu Song smiled and shook his head: "Meng De's people are better than wisdom and shorter than martial arts, and the minister doesn't know what Lu Bu's wisdom is, it's not good to comment, but only with martial arts, Meng De is far behind." ”

Liu Hong nodded, and then asked, "In this case, this person is comparable to Sun Jian?" ”

"If you talk about martial arts, Wentai can still fight, but when it comes to archery, Wentai is also very good." Zhu Jun also shook his head.

"As for Liu Bei and Liu Deran?" Liu Hong turned his head to look at Lu Zhi.

"Absolutely impossible." Lu Zhi's answer was exceptionally refreshing.

Liu Hong couldn't stop laughing, clapped his hands and said: "In this way, the subordinates recommended by the three Zhonglang generals are not even as good as the first person recommended by Ah Yan!" ”

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi were all silent.

"How kind of hero is the second person recommended by Ah Wei and I?" Liu Hong was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

"It's a son!" Liu Wei was silent for a moment, then walked in front of Liu Hong, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head and bowed.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, even Liu Hong, who was on the case, was also dumbfounded, and he just fell off the case.

"If Your Majesty agrees, the son is willing to take Lu Bu and obey the orders of Duke Lu."
