Chapter 293: Mr. Water Mirror
Shi Tao nodded, "Okay, I have close contacts with this Zhuge Liang, and I am very familiar with his affairs." Don't look at him so young, but he is really well-read. β
"Although I live in a corner, I have a very clear view of today's general trend. I think that when the Tiger Prison Pass was in battle, he asserted to his uncle that LΓΌ Bu would win and the Kwantung princes would be defeated, and he was only fourteen years old at that time. β
When Xu Shu heard this, he also showed a surprised expression, he was a witness to the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, at the beginning of the war, he did not dare to assert that his side would win, this Zhuge Liang can be so determined, it is really incredible.
"And in the past few years of interacting with him, he said that the general trend of the world predicted by him was always seven or eight out of ten by him, and he really saw it very thoroughly."
"Zhuge Liang is not a native of Jingzhou, he is a native of Yangdu, Langxi County, Xuzhou. Their Zhuge family is also a famous family in Langxie, and his ancestors used to be the captain of the school, but his father only served as a county officer. β
"His childhood was more unfortunate, he lost his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of eight, and he and his younger brother grew up with his uncle Zhuge Xuan." Shi Tao said that Zhuge Liang's tragic childhood also shook his head.
"Zhuge Xuan once served as Yuzhang Taishou, and later defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Zhuge Xuan died three years ago, and Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong alone, not far from Xiangyang. β
"Young people, it is inevitable to be arrogant, he often compares himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, thinking that he has the talent to stabilize the country and pass through the heavens and the earth."
"We once got together to talk about our future personal encounters, and he said that the talents of the two of us can only be a thorn and a county guard at most, and we asked him what official position he could do, but he laughed and didn't answer!" Speaking of this, Meng Jian also smiled silently.
"But his talent is indeed far above the two of us, astronomy, geography, machinery, arithmetic, astrology there is nothing he doesn't understand, Yuan Zhi is worth associating with him, but if you want to persuade him to become a leader, it is extremely difficult."
"He is very high-spirited, he doesn't pay attention to ordinary people, then Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent someone to invite him to come out, but he avoided it."
"I heard that Sima Hui introduced him to Liu Bei Liu Xuande in Xinye, then Liu Bei is trapped in Xinye, and he will not be able to pass Zhang, and the strategist is only Chen Gong, who is thirsty for talent, and he also went to Longzhong in person to ask for a meeting, but he still ate the same closed door."
Meng Jian interjected: "It must be Zhuge Kongming, who thinks that Liu Bei is too weak and refuses to be out of him." β
When Xu Shu heard this, he nodded again and again, it seems that this Zhuge Liang is really a great character, he must go to see him, Liu Biao and Liu Bei have recruited him, it seems that it will not be a waste of fame.
Meng Jian heard that Xu Shu wanted to see Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yuanzhi, you and Zhuge Liang have never known each other, if you go to see him directly like this, I'm afraid it will be abrupt, with his character, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish!" β
"It's better for us to accompany you to meet Sima Hui first, Mr. Shui Jing, let's encourage him to go out together, and then Sima Hui will arrange for you to meet Zhuge Liang, it will be more secure, Sima Hui is half of Zhuge Liang's teacher!"
Xu Shu naturally followed the advice of the two brothers, and the three of them did not delay at the moment.
Shi Tao and Meng Jian simply cleaned up and let their families go to Chang'an with the personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence, and there would be people to protect them along the way.
Xu Shu's caravan had several carriages, and the two of them rode with Xu Shu to meet Sima Hui.
Sima Hui lived in Nanzhang, south of Xiangyang, and lived in the Yuxi Mountains south of Nanzhang City.
Xu Shu ordered the caravan to stay outside the mountain, only bringing Ma Tie and gifts to Sima Hui, and followed Shi Tao and Meng Qi to climb Yuxi Mountain.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, from the bottom of the mountain against the stream up, along the way, the peaks of Yuxi Mountain are tall and beautiful, the sound of the water is murmuring, and it is full of scenery that cannot be seen.
There is a scenery called the White Horse Cave on this mountainside, and Sima Hui's Water Mirror Village is built here, but it is a blessed place.
This is also a small courtyard, and the family members at the door recognized Shi Tao and Meng Jian, and hurriedly invited them to enter while informing the owner.
The three of them entered together, and Ma Tie handed over the gifts to Sima Hui's family and waited outside the door.
When I came to the living room, I had just taken a seat when an old man dressed as a farmer walked in from outside.
Shi Tao and Meng Jian hurriedly got up and saluted, and introduced Xu Shu to the fact that this unattractive old farmer was Sima Hui.
Although Xu Shu was surprised in his heart, he did not dare to slack off at all, bowed down, respectfully, and called Sima Hui Mr.
The four people sat down separately, and the servants served tea, but the tea in the mountains had a unique charm.
As soon as Xu Shu reported his name and surname, Sima Hui smiled and nodded, "Mr. Tiger Mask is Yuan Zhi, this matter is probably known to the whole world now, Qingzhou Yizhi, return to the central court, but it is a big deal." β
"The Qingzhou Army has created a huge situation, which shows that Yuan Zhi's talent is amazing, both civil and military! As a fellow villager in Yingchuan, I also have a light on my face! β
Xu Shu saw that Sima Hui already knew his identity, so he no longer concealed it, and said bluntly, explaining that he went south this time, in addition to looking for relatives and friends, he also came to Jingzhou to recruit talents on behalf of Lord Lu Bu.
He told Sima Hui that Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei had agreed to go to Chang'an with him, and now the three of them came to invite Mr. Shui Jing.
Sima Hui's fine channel studies, Qimen, the art of war, ancient scriptures, especially ancient scriptures, are famous all over the world.
If Sima Hui's talent goes to Chang'an, his status will only be above Shi Tao and Meng Qi.
Xu Shu took the opportunity to tout his lord again, of course, many deeds are also facts, Lu Bu is indeed the best among the princes in the world, there is no one.
Sima Hui patiently listened to the kind words and persuasions of Xu Shu and others, and then spoke, "I want to thank Guangyuan, Gongwei and Yuan Zhi for their kindness, and I can also feel your sincerity." β
"With the talents of the three of you, you are willing to assist, which shows that this Lord Lu Bu of Lianggong does have something extraordinary, and it is likely to be a master."
"What we people in the world are pursuing is nothing more than to become a leader under a wise man, and then get ahead and achieve great things. I also believe that Lord Lu Bu is such a master, and he deserves your full help. Sima Hui paused and continued.
"It's just that I'm old, and I can't travel long distances, and I don't like the height of the temple, I just hope that I can do more learning and teach more good students for the rest of my life, and I will be satisfied."
"I appreciate your kindness, and I don't need to persuade you anymore. I have also been friends with Lord Lu Bu for a long time, I became famous as a young man, I was dedicated to opening up the territory for the Han Dynasty, repeatedly defeated foreign tribes, and expanded the living space for my Han people. β
"With the help of the three of you, Lord Lu Bu will achieve his wish and achieve great things as soon as possible. I also look forward to the day when the world will be unified as soon as possible, and only then will the world be truly stable, and the sword soldiers will not flourish, and they will recuperate. β
