Chapter 18: Counsellors (3): 7.3

This reading voice is extremely old, and it must be an old man. However, from that voice, I couldn't hear any sad feelings in the world, and there was a great sense of self-satisfaction in the countryside. At this time of year, this old man has this kind of mentality, which is really admirable.

Zhao Kuangyin raised a trace of appreciation in his heart. Xu is Zhao Kuangyin's heart was so heavy that his steps were heavy, and the footsteps of "Tata" disturbed the old man who was reading. The old man lifted the bamboo curtain of the wing room and walked out: "This Confucian temple has been abandoned for many years, and it has long been uninhabited. ”

The old man was fifty or sixty years old, with a gray beard, but he was in excellent spirits. Zhao Kuangyin gave a salute and said: "Many years ago, Zai Xia and his friends had sacrificed in this Confucian Temple, and today I revisited my hometown, and I was excited for a while, but I disturbed my father-in-law." ”

"As the so-called solo pleasure, it is better to be happy with everyone, but there is no interruption. The old man lives here alone, and he can read at any time, but there are very few guests who come. A strong man is a talent, burly and majestic, presumably a new general of the Zhou army. The old man said with a smile.

"How does my husband know?"

"Hehe, is the general an old man in the school? This is actually very simple, a burly and majestic person like the general is definitely not from Yanzhou, or he has only recently come to Yanzhou, because, a while ago, Murong Yanchao rebelled, and his rebellious army was in Yanzhou, if it was a person like the general, he must have been forcibly pulled into the rebellious army. So, you're not from Yanzhou. If it is an ordinary person, now that Yanzhou has just been pacified, Yanzhou is full of thieves, how dare ordinary people enter Yanzhou at this time, but the general is here, which shows that the general came with the Zhou army. The Zhou army was very disciplined, and ordinary sergeants especially had this free time to go to the outskirts of the city to relax? So general, you must be the general of the Zhou army! The old man slowly explained.

"My husband is really a god, you are right, you are indeed a general in the army!"

"Could it be that General Fei is General Zhao Kuangyin Zhao?" The old man asked with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "How did my uncle know?" ”

"Hehe, the general told me yourself, didn't the general just say that he had once married people again in the past. Since the old man lives in this Confucian temple, he still knows some about the history of this Confucian temple. Seven years ago, more than ten people worshipped again, and those people were unspeakably expensive, and the worst was also a state assassin! Moreover, the future development is even more promising. Among the more than ten people, as far as the old man knows, only one person has recently come to Yanzhou, isn't that General Zhao? ”

"The old man knows the subtlety, it's really admirable, I don't know the old man's name?" Zhao Kuangyin was a little excited. For Ma Yun and Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin himself feels that he is not worse than them at all, what is worse is just his family background, and of course, Wenchen. Ma Yun has Zhao Pu, Fan Zhen, and Li Xiang under him, and Guo Rong has Wang Pu and Wei Renpu under him, but he is alone, except for Gao Huaide, Gao Huailiang, Wang Yanchao, Murong Yanzhao, Shi Shouxin, these brothers, there is no one else. Scholars? Those who win the world win the world.

"I have seen General Zhao in Xiajiang Prefecture!" The old man said.

Jiangzhou's history is white? Haven't heard of it. Although he hadn't heard of it, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care, he had heard of the famous people, there were many, but did those people affirm their words? Zhao Kuangyin turned his brain: "Mr. Shi, the Central Plains is turbulent, and the south of the Yangtze River is calm, most of the people in the Central Plains want to take refuge in the south, why did Mr. go north?" ”

"Although the south of the Yangtze River is big, there is no land for ploughing, and the northern country is in turmoil, but it is a place where heroes and heroes emerge in endlessly!" Shi Xubai said.

Zhao Kuangyin understood what this old man meant, the old man in Jiangnan officialdom couldn't get in, so he simply went north, and now he is in danger of seeking wealth, although he said with a smile: "Listen to Mr. 's words, you know that Mr. has great talent, and the last general will recommend it to His Majesty as a gentleman." ”

"General's meaning, thank you, old man. It's just that the old man is dying, and he doesn't have so much spare time to be a knife and pen. Ploughing and enjoying himself, Liao comforted the remnants of his life. ”

"My third brother, the only prince of His Majesty today, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, is thirsty for talent. If you know Mr., you will definitely reuse it. I am willing to recommend Mr. below. ”

"One Wang Pu is enough, how can there be any room for play when the old man goes. It's a general, a dragon and a phoenix among people, don't you just want to be a mere festival envoy? The old man saw Zhao Kuangyin testing himself, but instead took Zhao Kuangyin and his army.

"My third brother is wise and martial, if he inherits the great treasure, it will not be difficult for the world to be swept away, I can be a pawn before the army, it is enough!" Zhao Kuangyin said modestly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is wise and decisive, and I have heard it a long time ago, but if it is said that the King of Jin can sweep the world when he ascends the throne, I think the general is not right. Jiangnan Chu State, Yanyun Khitan, how can they be easy? The Three Kingdoms are competing for power, but the Great Zhou is in the midst of it, and the most dangerous is probably the Great Zhou! The enemy looked around, the country prospered and the country was destroyed, it was often a thought, Shi Jingjiao was against the Tang Dynasty, and Taiyuan City was about to break, who would have thought that in January, Shi Jingjiao would become the Son of Heaven. Three years ago, His Majesty swore in front of Han Gaozu to support the Han Dynasty, who would have thought that yesterday's Guo Que'er would become today's Son of Heaven? Shi Xubai said with a smile.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Kuangyin asked. Shi Xubai's words moved Zhao Kuangyin, among the dozen or so people back then, he thought that he was first-class compared to character, martial arts, talent, and appearance, but he was pressed by two people. Guo Rong said that after all, he was very good to himself, and that scoundrel Ma Yun was able to ascend the throne and become emperor, which made it difficult for him to swallow this breath. It's just that the world must have a chance that when Guo Rong becomes the emperor, there will be no chance for him Zhao Kuangyin.

"It's man-made!" Shi Xubai said with a smile: "Shi Jingjiao back then, if he hadn't recruited troops and horses in Hedong, he wouldn't have lasted so long, and today's Son of Heaven, if it weren't for the hard-working people who were outside for the Han Dynasty to protect the territory and establish prestige, the Bianjing Rebellion, presumably he would not have been able to escape Li Ye's butcher's knife." Well, although it is said that there is a certain number in the dark, but if you don't have a little preparation in advance, even if the opportunity comes, you can't seize it! “

"Will you be willing to help the last general?" Zhao Kuangyin asked eagerly.

Shi Xubai seemed to have been waiting for Zhao Kuangyin's words for a long time: "Willing to serve." General, now the Khitan is strong, although its lord is a little mediocre, but the Khitan is a foreign race, 600,000 people who control the strings, and it is impossible to hide its edge, and Jiangnan Ma Chu, Jun Ming and Chenxian, soldiers and horses are strong, and it is not possible to be anxious, and the Central Plains Son of Heaven has a clear decree, a Ming army style, and he must be more cautious......"
