On the 26th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, Liaodong County, Junhou Mansion, Secretary Pavilion.

Ji Kang was lying on the soft couch behind the secretary's pavilion, resting and reading. And Shi Kang was beside him, holding a freshly printed college textbook "The Art of War" on white paper and reading it with relish.

At this time, Ji Kang suddenly heard an attendant in the cabinet announcing outside: "Son, Mr. Zou Yan and Mr. Lu Zhonglian ask to see me." ”

Ji Kang shouted "ah" excitedly, startling Shi Dang next to him.

Without bothering to put on his shoes, he jumped up from the couch and ran out.

Running out of the pavilion, I saw two elegant and personable old men standing at the foot of the stairs, looking at him with a smile on their faces. Ji Kang naturally understood who these two were, his eyes were red, he bowed deeply, and ran to the bottom of the stairs.

Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian were standing outside the secretary's cabinet, waiting for someone to report. I saw a doll running out of the secretary's pavilion without shoes, pink and jade, like a New Year's painting, and so beautiful that it didn't talk to words. Seeing this doll on the attic, he bowed deeply to the two of them, and before the two of them could return the salute, he saw this doll running down desperately.

When Zou Yan saw the face of this doll, he knew that it was Ji Kang, and he couldn't help but feel sour.

Ji Kang ran to Zou Yan and hugged Zou Yan's thigh. Choked up: "Two gentlemen, why are you only here now?" I've been waiting for you for a year. Did you know? I've been thinking about you guys. ”

After that, tears rained down.

Lu Zhong even looked at Ji Kang, who didn't even wear shoes, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Zou Yan was in tears, bent down, hugged Ji Kang tightly, and cried: "Childe, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Childe, old minister...... The old minister is late......"

And Shi Kang, who ran out with Ji Kang and Ji Kang's two shoes in his hand, stood on the attic steps and opened his mouth wide: "This old gentleman who has never met before, how can he be sorry for the son?" ”

Lu Zhonglian looked at Zou Yan, who was hugging Ji Kang tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and was crying and incoherent. I know it in my heart. At this time, if he dares to say that he is not in Liaodi, this old friend of mine will definitely do the following actions: first, he will immediately break off his friendship with himself; second, they will kill themselves immediately; Third, I am afraid that something unspeakable may happen.

……

In the eighth year of King Wucheng, in the second half of the third lunar month, the talented Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian defected to Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, and according to the wishes of the two, they were worshiped by the son Ji Kang as the dean and executive dean of Xiangping College, and the position was Yaqing, the same as Jun Xiangju Xin.

According to Yan Guo's "Zhou Li", this is also the highest position that Ji Kang can give.

The news then spread, and the country of Yan was shaken.

Yanguo thistle capital, thistle palace.

looked at Gao Yang, the historian next to him, who was on a silk silk, using notes to recount the news from an attendant just now.

Ji Kang's grandfather, the current King of Yan, said softly: "Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian have gone to Liaodi!" This grandson of mine is really amazing......

And the same in the Thistle Palace, the East Palace.

Ji Kang's father, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, was standing in front of the window, slowly looking at the east, and muttering to himself: "Kang'er, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian are going to you, so I can rest assured." My son ......"

……

Thistle is Xiangguo Mansion, study.

When Xiangguo Gongsun Cao heard the news, he laughed and muttered to himself: "Childe, Ju Xin, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian have all defected to you, you really didn't disappoint, you ...... Hurry up and grow up......"

Then he stepped out of the study, slowly raised his head, and looked to the east, all the way to the .......

……

Jidu Yaqing Mansion, Su Mansion.

After hearing the news, Yan Guoyaqing stood quietly in the study for a long time, and also looked up in the direction of Liaodi.

Said slowly: "Even Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian, who are in Qi State, have gone to Liaodi. Gongzi Ji Kang, now Yan Guo is known as a famous minister, Ju Xin and Zou Yan both defected to you, and the general Rong Yan also moved his family to Xiangping, you ...... What are you going to do......

Ji Kang, who was in Liaodi at this time, really didn't expect the arrival of Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian to have such a huge impact, and he didn't expect what this would mean to him.

I only remember that when I returned to the inner courtyard, my mother Ji Zhao heard about it, hugged herself, and cried so much that her tears and snot were handful. He kept saying, "I knew my son was the best." I knew my son was the best......"

And Ji Mao, the old manager standing next to him, also had red eyes.

Immediately, his mother Ji Zhao personally posted an unprecedented post, inviting Jun Xiangju Xin, Zou Yan, Dean of Xiangping College, and Lu Zhonglian, Executive Dean of Xiangping College, to be guests at Junhou Mansion.

When Ji Xin and the other three gentlemen arrived at the Junhou Mansion, his mother Ji Zhao personally went to the kitchen and made a dish for the three gentlemen.

When the three gentlemen left, their mother Ji Zhao came out in person, wearing the formal clothes of the prince's side concubine.

Facing the three gentlemen of Ju Xin, Zou Yan, and Lu Zhonglian, he bowed down and thanked him deeply: "My son Ji Kang, today I have three gentlemen to assist, and the concubine is deeply honored." I hope that the three gentlemen will not be despised because of the ignorance of the stubborn children. ”

The three old gentlemen, including Ji Xin, also bowed back deeply and said, "Thank you for your hospitality." Please rest assured, the old ministers and others will do their best to assist the son. ”

At this time, Ji Kang really knew why the arrival of Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian was so huge.

Not to mention Zou Yan, in this era, he was not only a famous thinker and educator, but also an expert in agriculture, astronomer, geographer and philosopher.

Zou Yan made the first initiative to use manure to fertilize the fields in the agriculture of Yan Kingdom, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, earth, fire and the five virtues he created have always said, and the geography theory of the size of Kyushu has also had a wide influence in Ji Kang's previous life, let alone in this era.

Even in the era when Ji Kang's science was highly developed in his previous life, when Ji Kang left, the influence of Zou Yan's theory was also deep-rooted and still existed.

Let's just say Lu Zhonglian. Lu Zhonglian, also known as Lu Lian, was respectfully called "Lu Zhonglianzi" or "Lu Lianzi" by the people of the day, and was also called "True Guoshi" by people.

At that time, Qi Guotian Dan returned to the country, before attacking Diyi, Lu Zhonglian asserted that Tiandan could not attack Diyi in the short term, but Lu Zhonglian's words were unfortunately true, and Diyi was not defeated in March.

Tian Dan was distressed and strange, so he went to ask Lu Zhonglian for advice. Lu Zhonglian bluntly told Tian Dan that in the past, when he was in Jimo, "the general has the heart of death, and the soldiers have no life", and the top and bottom are united and have the same enemy; With the change of status and circumstances, Tiandan's "golden horizontal belt" only cares about pampering and pampering, "the joy of life, no heart to die", no longer taking the lead, no longer afraid of sacrifice, so the little Diyi has become a "roadblock", and he can't attack it for a long time.

After listening to Lu Zhonglian's analysis that hit the nail on the head, Tian Dan suddenly realized, and after going back, he came to the battle array in person, waved flags and drums, and conquered Dicheng in one fell swoop. Soon after, Tian Dan was like a bamboo, and he fought all the way to Lu Zhonglian's hometown - Liaocheng City.

In Liaocheng, because the Yan general Le Ying (the nephew of the famous general Le Yi) held on to the city and fought to the death, Tiandan's siege of the city was not smooth. Just when he was at a loss, Lu Zhonglian came.

Because Lu Zhonglian was proficient in the number of potentials, and had a thorough and accurate analysis of the situation between Qi and Yan at that time, as well as the character and psychological analysis of Yan Generals, Lu Zhonglian wrote a letter to General Yan Guo and shot him into the city with arrows, with the aim of "attacking the heart".

As a result, Lu Zhonglian said something in his heart, which made Yan Jiang Le Ying despair and died by himself. In this way, Lu Zhonglian captured Liaocheng with words, retreated from the enemy with one arrow, and created a miracle in military history and debate.

For this reason, King Qi wanted to reward Lu Zhonglian, but Lu Zhonglian insisted on refusing it; He also gave Lu Zhonglian a daughter, but Lu Zhonglian still insisted on refusing it.

In the end, Lu Zhonglian, who abandoned money like dung and regarded wealth as floating clouds, threw down a sentence: "For people in the world, the most valuable quality is to solve problems for people, but never ask for returns." If there is a take, it is a businessman's business, and I don't want to do it. "Drift away.

Even in Ji Kang's previous life, Lu Zhonglian was considered by historians to be both wise and brave, and had both ability and political integrity. He was a great thinker, educator, philosopher, and military strategist.

Lu Zhonglian defeated Yan Guo because he helped Qi Guotian Dan, which made Yan people a little hateful. But there is nothing to say, because they are from Qi country! But he admires Lu Zhonglian's talent and morality, and it can be said that he likes him again.

is such a Lu Zhonglian who makes the Yan people hate and love, and came to Yan to join Gongzi Ji Kang. Surprise or not? Unexpected or not?

The arrival of Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian made the name of Ji Kang, the prince of Liaodi, gradually known to the vassal states of the Central Plains.
