Chapter 459: Golden Lotus

"Hahaha,"

Lu Bu couldn't help but smile,

couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pointed at Xu Shu and said:

"You guy, you have seen me through, hahahahaha!"

But there was no smile on Xu Shu's face,

Very seriously, he continued:

"In the past, I came to speculate on the lord, but I was straightforward and narrow-minded. Today, when I heard the words of the lord, it was really like an empowerment. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, and we, the so-called readers, who worry about the country and the people every day, now seem to be so narrow and ridiculous, it really makes me ashamed! ”

Xu Shu looked up at Lu Bu,

The expression is sincere and serious, without a hint of joke.

Maybe I was infected by Xu Shu's seriousness,

Lu Bu involuntarily restrained his smile,

pulled Xu Shu to sit beside him again,

He spoke softly:

"Yuanzhi, don't think of how great I am, and don't despise yourselves. We stand on different positions and angles, look at the same issue, and naturally draw conclusions from the direction we think, there will be some differences. There is nothing superior or inferior, just some inconsistencies in direction and angle. Looking horizontally as a peak on the side of the ridge, this is what it means. ”

"Looking at it horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge......"

Xu Shu repeated in a low voice what Lu Bu said,

He slowly chewed on the meaning,

Immediately felt that the meaning in this sentence was profound and endless,

Raising his head, he said convincingly:

"Although the lord's words are plain and straightforward, the meaning is profound and timeless, and the intention is even more strategic, and Yuan Zhi has benefited a lot."

Lu Bu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth,

almost broke the gong and laughed out loud,

I didn't expect to steal a verse that I was so excited about,

On the contrary, this amazing Xu Shu misunderstood again.

The so-called lice are not afraid of bites,

After Lu Bu plagiarized so much,

The skin has long been cultivated thicker than the city wall,

I don't see any embarrassment on him at the moment,

patted Xu Shu on the shoulder,

With a smile on his face, he said:

"Mmmm, that's right, Yuan Zhi, your sycophant shot me very comfortably! Hahaha! ”

Xu Shu was immediately stunned when he heard this,

The corner of his eye couldn't help but jump,

Just now I looked like a god who got a master,

At this moment, he fell into the mortal world and became a cheeky man who didn't know what shame was,

Stalls with such a guy as the master,

I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Xu Shu shook his head helplessly,

He still hasn't forgotten Fang Cai's business,

So he opened his mouth to change the subject:

"So the lord didn't let the Xiliang Iron Cavalry participate in the chaotic war in the Central Plains, in order to retain some vitality for the Central Plains?"

Lu Bu nodded and said softly:

"After years of war, the people of the Central Plains have been miserable. Although it has been a lot calmer in the past three years, you should also know that except for our merger and state, which puts the restoration and development of people's livelihood in the first place, the rest of the princes, which one is not a reckless soldier, and he can't wait for all the people to be soldiers. In such a world, even if it can be unified, how much vitality and blood can be left in our Central Plains? ”

Xu Shu frowned when he heard this,

He bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

After Lu Bu glanced at him,

Go on:

"Although the number of soldiers in our state is not large now, whether it is those troops with special numbers or ordinary ordinary troops, any army that is pulled out and other princes can not fall behind, this is Lao Tzu's confidence!"

When Lu Bu said this,

The waist pole unconsciously straightened up a few points,

With a confident glow on his face,

Those eyes were as bright as the sun.

Xu Shu nodded thoughtfully,

Since a long time ago, the state has pursued a policy of elite soldiers.

When all the troops are selecting and training soldiers,

It's never been about quantity,

They only pay attention to the quality and ability of the soldiers.

Therefore, the total number of troops in the entire annexed state today,

Of all the princes,

and not the most,

But regardless of the quality of the soldiers or the weapons and equipment,

But it can definitely be said to be second to none,

At this point, Lu Bu did not exaggerate in the slightest.

"Now those princes in the Central Plains, there are really not many people who can make me look at them, and the only ones who can make me jealous are Liu Bei, more precisely, it should be those people standing behind him......"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu suddenly stopped,

seems reluctant to continue on this topic,

Change Topic says:

"Now I just have a headache, that is, there are too few people, and I am really stretched. Although the academy has cultivated many talents, whether it is internal affairs or military talents, it is far from being able to cultivate them in just a few years. In the past three years, I have recruited a lot of talents, but compared to today's stalls, it is still a drop in the bucket, alas......"

In the end, Lu Bu frowned,

The facial features on a face are almost wrinkled together,

This is also his biggest headache now,

After sighing, he rubbed his brow in annoyance.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this,

His expression relaxed,

A meaningful smile was revealed.

At this time, Lu Bu happened to raise his head,

I just saw the smile on Xu Shu's face,

Slightly stunned,

Suspiciously, he asked:

"Yuan Zhi, why are you laughing?"

Xu Shu clasped his hands into fists and arched his hands slightly,

Whispered:

"Lord, if this is the case, there are really a few candidates to recommend to the lord."

After a pause, Xu Shu didn't wait for Lu Bu to ask,

I said it directly.

"When I was studying in Nanyang, I had a few friends who studied with Mr. Shuijing. The intellectual abilities of these people are far superior to those below. ”

Lu Bu's eyes suddenly widened,

immediately thought of the people Xu Shu said,

He resisted the excitement in his heart,

looked at Xu Shu intently,

Wait for him to say the man's name.

Xu Shu didn't know that Lu Bu was looking forward to the extraordinary person who was mythologized by legends,

He also thought that Lu Bu was simply concerned about how many friends he could bring.

Xu Shu smiled and pursed his lips slightly,

Only then did he open his mouth and say a few names,

"Yingchuan Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan, Meng Jian, a native of Runan County, the word Gongwei, and Cui Jun, the word Zhouping, and Boling Anping."

After Xu Shu finished talking about the names of these three people,

After a pause, he looked at Lu Bu with a smile,

Lu Bu's face showed joy,

All three of them can be regarded as celebrities and men.

And it's the kind of person who has real talent and real learning,

If these three men can come and serve,

then at least two or three counties can be stabilized,

This kind of evaluation is absolutely not half an exaggeration,

I couldn't help but ask:

"And how do you find these three?"

"Hehe, the three of them are close friends, and they only need a letter to come to Bingzhou. Moreover, when they were studying before, the three of them also showed their admiration for the lord. That Cui Jun is a descendant of the Cui family, if the lord can get this person's effect, presumably the Cui family will also be biased towards the lord's side. ”

Lu Bu listened to Xu Shu's words,

couldn't help but be triumphant,

The other three were not of great repute in the Hereafter,

But this Xu Shu in front of him is a famous figure in later generations,

Many years ago,

Lu Bu is the object of their admiration,

This incident alone was enough to make Lu Bu tremble.

Lu Bu rubbed his hands and asked:

"Yuan Zhi, is there anyone else?"

While talking,

also deliberately gave Xu Shu a look that you know.

Xu Shu didn't react to Lu Bu's meaning for a while,

Blinking and blinking at Lu Bu,

Suddenly, I seemed to remember something,

He frowned in embarrassment,

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head,

looked at Lu Bu and said:

"My lord, there are indeed two people, and these two people are more than a hundred times more than a hundred times superior in intelligence and temperament. The lord may not have heard of their names, and there is a saying circulating near Jingzhou, the two of the dragon and the phoenix can settle the world. The people mentioned below are the two of them, Wolong Zhuge Zhuge Kongming, born in Langya County Zhuge Shiyuan, Feng Xiao Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, born in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and his uncle is Pang Degong, a famous man in the sea. These two people are both great talents who can set the country and peace with the world in mind! ”

After Lu Bu heard Xu Shu's words,

A look of surprise immediately climbed up to his face,

Xu Shu didn't care about his expression,

Some embarrassed speakers:

"It's just that these two people are really not sure that they can move the two of them."

Lu Bu smashed his mouth, and couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong? The two of them don't want to be out of the ordinary? ”

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"It's not, these two are people who want to get ahead and do something amazing......"

Xu Shu's voice was low when he said this,

Lu Bu remembered a very famous allusion in history - three visits to the thatched house,

Although in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms,

There are many elements of exaggeration and deification of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei,

But on top of the real history,

Liu Bei has indeed been to Longzhong many times,

invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain,

Of course, there is also a saying,

It is said that Zhuge Liang actually wanted to take refuge in Liu Bei for a long time,

just used this routine to let Liu Bei take the bait himself,

In this way, he can occupy a relatively heavy voice under Liu Bei.

But no matter what kind of speech you say,

does not deny that Liu Bei spent a lot of energy at the beginning,

Only then did Zhuge Liang come out of the mountain,

However, this was also a common problem of all scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time.

Or maybe it's a fashion that's all the rage.

As for Pang Tong,

Although not as exaggerated as Zhuge Liang,

But his temper is even more eccentric,

Because of his own appearance,

As a result, his self-esteem is much stronger than that of others,

This was evident from the time he chose the Lord referendum.

Originally, he wanted to serve Sun Quan,

It's just that because he looked down on Zhou Yu at the time,

Therefore, he was despised by Sun Quan,

Not to mention reuse, he didn't even bother to receive him,

This made him feel insulted by his haughty heart,

Only then did he defect to Liu Bei, who was eager to seek talent at that time,

And when I first went to run,

has also experienced some twists and turns,

In fact, Pang Tong was quite famous at that time,

And Pang Tong also carried two letters of recommendation written by Lu Su and Zhuge Liang in his arms,

However, when meeting Liu Bei,

Pang Tong didn't say a word,

It turned out to be because of his ugly character,

Liu Bei just made him a small county magistrate.

Until Zhuge Liang came back from mourning,

After learning about this,

Only then did he hurriedly take Liu Bei to meet Pang Tong,

After seeing Pang Tong's ability with his own eyes,

Liu Bei was impressed by this guy at this time.

In short, these two guys belong to the typical Eastern Han Dynasty scholars,

belongs to the master who has great ability, but his temper is not small,

Of course, in any dynasty,

Anywhere,

Capable people will have some quirks or tempers to a greater or lesser extent,

So Lu Bu didn't think it was so unexpected,

On the contrary, it also made him feel a hint of challenge.

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth curled, and he said softly:

"It just makes me more interested."

After sending Xu Shu away,

Lu Bu stood alone in the gazebo,

Looking at the calm lake outside the pavilion,

A shallow smile pouted at the corner of his mouth,

There was a fire in my heart,

"Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Wolong and Phoenix Chick! It's finally time to meet, ————"

There is faith in his eyes,

Lu Bu turned around and left the pavilion.

This is a remote side yard,

In the middle of the Lu Mansion is located in a secluded corner,

The huge yard is full of plants,

But it's a little messy,

Apparently the owner is an informal or rather sloppy guy,

Lu Bu stood outside the courtyard gate,

Standing on tiptoe and glancing inside,

The courtyard door opened automatically with a "squeak",

However, I have never found any mechanism.

Lu Bu didn't have any surprises about this situation,

Shi Shiran walked in with his hands behind his back,

When you enter the courtyard, it's like you've entered another space.

The yard is still the same yard,

There is no change in the variety of plants everywhere,

But it feels like a world away.

That's a very different breath,

Into this courtyard,

The air seems to become moist and viscous,

But strangely it doesn't give people uncomfortable feelings,

Instead, it will make the people in it,

Feel refreshed,

It's as if every pore on the body is greedily opening its mouth to breathe,

It's a feeling of clarity,

And it's not as illusory as a dream,

Instead, I really felt this feeling of vitality all over my body.

Lu Bu sighed comfortably,

I didn't stay in the hospital for long,

walked straight to the small building in the courtyard,

Gently pushed the door open,

The living room on the first floor was empty,

Lu Bu turned around and walked into the bedroom on the right-hand side.

This bedroom is very spacious.

It's almost the size of the living room,

The furnishings in the house are very simple,

There is only a large bed and a wide Taishi chair,

And then there's the thing in the middle of the room that exudes a faint glow and fragrance.

The shape of that thing is like a lotus flower,

But it's not the usual white or pink,

It's a faint gold,

And under the lonely flowers,

Only one long stem is stuck in a large pot.

The air in this house is more than in the yard,

but also full of a richer atmosphere,

And the source of all this,

It seems to be this golden lotus in the house.
