When Shi Tao saw Xu Shu, he was very surprised and delighted, the two were not only classmates and fellow villagers, but also childhood playmates, and the relationship was the most irreversible.

When Xu Shu had an accident back then, Shi Tao also tried his best to help him, but was preempted by Lu Bu.

Since Xu Shu joined the shadow, the two have not seen each other for more than ten years.

Shi Tao hugged Xu Shu tightly and kept chanting, "Yuan Zhi, you are not old at all, and your face is even fairer." There has been no news for so many years, and even Lingtang doesn't know where to move, which makes me so worried! ”

And the person sitting opposite Shi Tao, Xu Shu also recognized, was another classmate and friend Meng Jian who he wanted to visit.

Of course, the table characters of these two people may be more famous in later generations, Shi Tao character Guangyuan, Shi Guangyuan. Meng Jianzi Gongwei, Meng Gongwei.

Both of them are well-educated people, but they are indifferent to fame and fortune and live in seclusion.

In fact, Xu Shu knew that they were not really indifferent to fame and fortune, and they didn't want to be officials, but they just didn't meet the lord they recognized.

Xu Shu had a deep friendship with the two, so he revealed his identity and told about his experience for more than ten years.

When Shi Tao heard this, he exclaimed repeatedly, "Yuan Zhi, I know that you have always been chivalrous and courageous, but I didn't expect you to be able to make such a legendary deed." ”

"I have long heard of the great name of the Qingzhou Army, and I have also heard of the various tricks of the tiger-faced military division."

"I think they were soldiers from this Nanyang County at the beginning, but I didn't expect the tiger-faced military division to be you, admire and admire!"

"I think that only an eloquent person like Yuan Zhi can bring the Qingzhou Army into what it is today, but the news here is still blocked, and we haven't learned the news of Qingzhou's change of banner."

"In this way, Lord Lu Bu has unified the states and counties on the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuanzhi, you are also a person of outstanding merit, you don't enjoy the glory and wealth in Chang'an, but what are you doing in this poor country?"

"This is Liu Biao's jurisdiction, once the news leaks, you are very dangerous!" Meng Jian also said worriedly.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have been a shadow for so many years, and I am the most familiar with what I do in secret, and I am foolproof!" ”

"Brother Guangyuan, Brother Gongwei, this time I went south, in addition to going back to Changshe's hometown to find relatives and friends, and moving them into Guanzhong, mainly for the future of the two!"

"Oh, for our future?" Meng Jian pretended to be suspicious, but in fact, they had already vaguely guessed Xu Shu's intention!

"Exactly, the two brothers are familiar with the scriptures, rich in learning, and have more strategies in their chests, and they are both talented in the world, are they willing to work and study in this countryside for a lifetime?"

"Don't you want to make the most of what you do and make the most of what you learn? I know that the two brothers are really indifferent to fame and fortune, but you refused to go out before, that was because you didn't meet the master. ”

"Now I am representing my father-in-law, the "Liang Duke" Lord Lu Bu came to invite the two brothers to go out of the mountain, serve the imperial court, and show their lifelong ambitions! ”

"Don't teachers always tell us to apply what we have learned? If the general trend is clear today, Liang Gong has unified half of the country, and it will be a matter of time before the world becomes one! ”

"Jingzhou Liu Biao is a dog that guards success, and it is not enough to succeed. Although Cao Cao occupies the land of Sanzhou, he is also surrounded by me on three sides. ”

"The army of the imperial court is waiting for the day, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and it will be able to defeat Cao Cao in one go." After speaking, Xu Shu paused slightly.

"Do you know firearms?" Seeing that both of them shook their heads, they didn't know.

Xu Shu recounted the power of firearms and their achievements on the battlefield.

Both of them are also people with university knowledge, although they don't understand the principle, but the effect and power can still be understood, and they are staggered.

At this point, they also believed what Xu Shu said, if there was a war, they would be able to defeat Cao Cao's belonging.

Xu Shu also used Zheng Xuan, Hua Xin and others as examples to illustrate how polite and virtuous Lu Bu was, and he was eager to seek talent.

Shi Tao and Meng Jian glanced at each other, both of them were moved, but they hesitated slightly.

Xu Shu took out the handwritten letter that Lu Bu had already written and handed it to the two of them to show his sincerity!

After reading the letter, Shi Tao and Meng Jian felt their sincerity, although they had never seen the two, they believed in Xu Shu's vision, and invited the two to serve in Chang'an to serve in Chang'an, serve the country with what they have learned, and help the people live a peaceful and stable life as soon as possible!

Both of them finally agreed, and they were willing to return to Chang'an with Xu Shu, serve the imperial court together, help Lu Bu, and achieve a great cause together!

The three of them chatted happily, and changed the tea into wine, Xu Shu asked the two about the customs and customs of Jingzhou and other celebrities who lived in seclusion, and saw if they could recruit a few more talents for the lord!

At that time, Jingzhou was a happy land when the war was raging in the Central Plains.

Many Yingchuan celebrities and Shandong celebrities have fled south and lived in seclusion.

Shi Tao and Meng Jian are very popular and have a wide range of friends, but they have dealings with these hermits, and even have close relationships with many people, so they can be regarded as close friends.

They already regarded themselves as Lu Bu's subordinates, so they introduced them to Xu Shu one by one very carefully.

Among them, the most famous is the Yingchuan fellow villager, called Sima Hui, the word Decao, and the number "Mr. Shuijing".

He is familiar with the art of war, scriptures, and Taoism, and is the best at interacting with people, and he is particularly capable of knowing people and discussing the world and identifying talents.

There is also a great hermit, the most respectable, but a local, called Pang Degong, who is a real person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.

He never entered the city, but only cultivated and read in the mountains for fun. Liu Biao has invited Pang Degong to come out many times, and even visited him in person, but Pang Degong politely refused.

He was kind to others, and many celebrities liked to be close to him.

In addition, there was Cui Jun, the son of Cui Lie, the former lieutenant Cui Lie, who was quite brave and strategic, and once fought against Dong Zhuo with Yuan Shao, and later lived in seclusion here.

There is also a famous man, that is, Nanjun Huang Chengyan, who is the son-in-law of the former lieutenant Zhang Wen and the brother-in-law of Liu Biao and Cai Mao, but he refuses to go out and lives in seclusion in the countryside.

Among the young talents of the younger generation, the best and most talented are the two young talents who were evaluated by Pang Degong as "Wolong" and "Phoenix Chick"!

""Wolong"?" "Feng Chick"? This name is quite bold, and the young people are so handsome, I want to get acquainted. ”

Xu Shu was interested in these two names and searched for talents, of course, the younger this talent is, the more potential he has!

"Haha, Brother Yuan is also like this, and when we first heard about it, he had an expression, he was curious and unconvinced!" Meng Jian said with a smile.

"Don't sell Guanzi, "Wolong" is called Zhuge Liang! He... ”

Before Shi Tao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Shu, "What? Zhuge Liang? Is there really such a person? Or is it so young? It's weird. ”

"What? Yuan Zhi has heard of Zhuge Liang, can't it, he is only twenty years old this year, and he has never left Xiangyang! Shi Tao was very surprised.

"Oh, it's not that I've heard of Zhuge Liang, but before I came south, the lord mentioned this person to me, and asked me to do everything possible to inquire about his whereabouts, and it is best to dig him up to Chang'an! I don't know how the lord knows. ”

"What Lord Lu Bu knows about Zhuge Liang?" Shi Tao couldn't change his words for a while, and he still referred to Lu Bu. "Your intelligence department is really good."

They wouldn't know how Lu Bu knew that there was Zhuge Liang, they could only think of it to the omnipotent Ministry of Intelligence.

"Brother Guangyuan, tell me about this Zhuge Liang in detail!"
