Chapter 7: Foreseeing the Situation

As soon as the three of them arrived outside the house, they saw that Su Xiu had already opened the door and stood at the door, looking at the three of them with a smile, and arched his hand: "Zhicai Wenruo came to visit late at night, it is really a great honor to be here," Su Xiu glanced at the little boy who was following Xi Zhicai, slightly surprised, "Isn't this the little prodigy Guo Jia who is rumored in Yingchuan Academy?" ”

In fact, Su Xiu didn't notice that Guo Jia was with Xi Zhicai during the day, there were indeed more people in the lobby at that time, Guo Jia was still young, and he was really not very conspicuous in the crowd, besides, Shi Tao had said that Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu had not mentioned Guo Jia, Su Xiu didn't think much about it, who expected Guo Jia to come with Xi Zhicai.

Originally, this trip to Yingchuan just wanted to ask Pang Degong to help inscribe a table, and he has been coming to the Three Kingdoms era for several years, and he also knows the importance of the table word for the people of this era.

The chance encounter with Shi Tao gave him the idea of befriending Xun Yu as soon as possible, if possible, he wanted to take the best strategists and generals of this era for his own use now, if he could collect both Xun Zhicai and Xun Yu now, then he would definitely spare no effort to do it. But he knows very well that it is impossible, not to mention that he has nothing now, even if he has a certain power and status, there are still five years left in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the world is not chaotic, and he has no good reason to leave talents, so his current idea is to leave a good impression and facilitate the recruitment later.

Xi Zhicai and the three of them didn't expect Su Xiu to be waiting for them outside the door, a little surprised, Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Brother Lao Su has been waiting for a long time, this is indeed Guo Jia, Brother Su don't look at Xiao Guozi is only nine years old, but he is quick to think, even Xi Mou also sighs to himself, and Xiao Guozi seems to have a natural instinct for the art of war strategy, and often comes up with some strange schemes that we are all amazed by, many times we almost missed his way when we performed martial arts." ”

Su Xiu didn't expect Guo Jia to have such an ability when he was a child, and he could make Xi Zhicai very careful in their strategy at the age of nine, but it is not an exaggeration to think about it, after all, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai died early in history, if it were not for his outstanding talent, how could he leave such a strong mark in history.

The surprise on Su Xiu's face flashed, and he stretched out his hand and asked: "The name of the prodigy Guo Jia is indeed well-deserved, a few people please, I have tired Brother Guangyuan to warm up the good wine, and prepared a little appetizer, let's talk while eating." After leading the three of them to the backyard, Shi Tao and Xu Fu were already waiting in the backyard, and after the four of them sat down, Xu Fu asked: "Brother Su, Fu is very curious how you are sure that Brother Zhicai and Brother Wen Ruo will definitely come in the evening, and you are sure that it will be at the third watch?" ”

Hearing this, Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and said, "It's better to worry about Zhicai to solve Yuan Zhi's doubts." ”

"Then the loyalty was ugly. In fact, Brother Su had already hinted at it when he was talking to Zhong. During the day, I heard that someone defeated my Yingchuan Academy in the church, and Zhong asked Brother Su about his ambition out of curiosity, and Brother Su applauded three times before chanting the poem, which means that he will talk deeply at the third watch. And if it wasn't enough to impress me, I would definitely not go to the appointment, so Brother Su used the Seven Laws to express his heroic spirit of aiming to pacify the Biansai, in addition to Brother Su knows the temperament of us literati very well, but also shows that Brother Su is a very confident and ambitious person, especially the sentence 'But make the dragon city fly, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain' made Zhong's blood boil, so he will visit late at night. ”

Su Xiu sighed slightly in his heart, thanks to He Zhizhang and Wang Changling, two poets of the Tang Dynasty, he was able to pretend to be forced in front of these great sages of the former dynasty, but as a businessman in his previous life, he was also very thick-skinned, otherwise his business would not have flourished.

Looking at Xu Fu's admiring look, Su Xiu waved his hand lightly and said: "Zhicai is too famous, he has learned literary and martial arts, and he has learned martial arts with the emperor's family, Xiu's early years of apprenticeship and martial arts, it is because Xianbei is every year Koubian, and the people of my Han Liang and the land of Sanzhou are deeply affected. It's a pity that now the Han is weak, and there is no fame in the body, there is no way to serve, and there are few people in the border today who can really be dedicated to the public, so this trip to Yingchuan, one is to ask Pang Degong to help take the table words, and the other is to hear that Yingchuan has always been talented, and I want to hear your views on the world. ”

A few words let Xi Zhicai see Su Xiu's ambitions, of course, there is a little bit of ability to feel that there are many people who are unparalleled in the world, the good thing is called arrogance, and the ugly point is Yelang arrogance, Xi Zhicai from the daytime cognition, I think this person should be a person full of wealth, but this person has not been a little literati since he entered the door, but is proud of himself as a martial artist, giving people the feeling that he is not an arrogant person, but everywhere reveals self-confidence, and there is a faint temperament of a person who has been in the top position for a long time from the eyebrows.

So, Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and asked, "I saw that Brother Su was full of economy and rigorous thinking during the day, and he must also be a scholar. According to Brother Su's opinion, what is the general trend today? ”

As soon as Su Xiu heard it, the main topic came, this is to test himself, if he deals with it properly, it is very likely to lay a heavy foreshadowing for recruiting drama talents, if the answer is not good, it is very likely to leave a bad impression, then he will be blacklisted by these three people, and it is estimated that he will not serve him in the future.

"Zhicaiwen, if you don't know, I was born in a small village in Changshan, although the village is not unclothed and hungry, but every household has no surplus food, and the surrounding bandits are raging, and the people's lives are miserable. didn't suspect that I was dull in qualifications, and passed on all his skills, in order to hope that I could defend my family and country and protect me in China. From Changshan to Yingchuan, I saw too many hungry and cold people along the way, just like seeing my own villagers, fathers and elders, but I can't help them through the predicament now. ”

Su Xiu looked a little lonely, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then said: "This way, I also heard of a Taiping Dao, applying medicine and drawing talismans, saving the people of Limin, its leader Zhang Jiao is known as a great sage and good teacher, and his reputation among the people is like the sky, I estimate that in less than five years, this Taiping Dao will definitely become a big disaster for my Han, and the world will be in chaos at that time, and the people will not be able to make a living." ”

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were also from poor families, just because they had been in the academy for a long time, they had indeed never heard of the Taiping Dao, so Guo Jia asked: "I heard what Brother Su said, this Taiping Dao is doing a good thing, why does Brother Su conclude that the one who disturbs the world must be this Taiping Dao?" ”

"Little brother, do you think that if you are a decent Taoist who works for the welfare of the people, then why do you preach the so-called Great Harmony world everywhere, and why do you give the people a dream that is completely contrary to reality? Now the Taiping Road is just the beginning of the rise, it already has a lot of influence in the people of Jizhou and Yuzhou, over time, the people of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are afraid that they will be bewitched by this Taiping Road, at that time, as long as this horn climbs to the top of the shout, there are millions of followers, for the Han, this is not a fortunate thing. What's more, when today's son ignores the government and promiscues in the harem all day long, he only knows how to sell officials and collect money; Eunuchs control the court, cronyism, and friends; And the general of the shepherd side supports the army and respects himself, and listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, if this Taiping Dao is really said by a certain misfortune, then it is difficult to think about it in this world. ”

Everyone in the courtyard was a smart person, and when they heard it, they knew that Su Xiu was not exaggerating, and what he said was likely to become true. If it is really as Su Xiu said, then the world will really enter a great chaos immediately, and when the time comes, where will there be a place of peace in the world?

Xun Yu didn't plan to speak this time, but when he heard this, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, so he said: "Since Brother Su has already understood the situation, why don't you go to the court and let the court be prepared?" ”

"Wen Ruo, let's not say that Su Mou doesn't have an official position, and he is humble, even if I can really reach the heavens, do you think the Son of Heaven and the courtiers sitting in the temple will believe it? I'm afraid they will say that I will behead me in Dongshi by lying and confusing the public. ”

Xi Zhicai was not so nervous, and took Su Xiu's words and asked, "Since Brother Su has seen things so thoroughly, what will you do?" ”

Su Xiu looked at Xi Zhicai, saw that he had a serious expression, and knew that it was time to make a big move at this time, and it would be up to Xi Zhicai to stay and see what he would do next. So Su Xiu got up and walked out of the backyard, walked to the front hall, and closed the door. Turned around and sat down in the backyard, and then said slowly: "When the chaos is about to happen today, I want to put the chaos in order, and return the people to a bright future, so that the Xianbei Huns do not dare to go south and herd horses. However, it is difficult to support alone, even if there are all kinds of ideals, it is difficult to turn things around. I know that all the people in the academy are unborn geniuses, each of them has the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away, although Xiu is currently not an official and a half-job, but I believe that with a spear in my hand, I will be able to fight a piece of the world, so I dare to ask a few people to help me give advice, so as to end this coming troubled world as soon as possible! After speaking, Su Xiu got up, took a step back, and looked at everyone and bowed deeply.
