Chapter 181: Zheng Xuan and Hua Xin

Zheng Xuan is already over sixty years old, but Hua Xin is only thirty-five years old, which is a good age, this time Hua Xin was recruited by the imperial court, and specially went to Yuancheng to meet his senior brother Zheng Xuan.

Coincidentally, Zheng Xuan also received a handwritten letter from Lu Zhi, inviting him to Chang'an to teach and educate people, and also told how Lu Bu attached importance to education, how to promote Confucianism, and sent his son to drive to meet Zheng Xuan.

So the two of them went on the road together, trekking all the way from Wei County in Jizhou to Chang'an.

Lu Bu inquired about the current situation of the Central Normal School, and told him that there are now three majors of Chinese Studies, Arithmetic, and Manufacturing, with a two-year school period, and the students trained can impart the knowledge of these specialties in the government-run school in the future.

However, students are easy to recruit, good teachers are hard to find, Fa Yan, Fu Zhu, Ma Jun, and even Lu Zhi are all teaching in the academy, so Lu Zhi will spend his efforts to invite famous people from all over the world, and the ideas are all on his classmates and friends.

Lu Bu naturally agreed, and was willing to go out of the city to greet him in person.

The next day, Lu Bu changed into the clothes of a general, and together with Lu Zhi, Fa Yan, Fu Zhu, Jia Xu and others, he went out of the city for ten miles to meet Zheng Xuan and Hua Xin's car.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a carriage slowly coming from the east.

Seeing so many court officials blocking the way, the driver hurriedly stopped the carriage, but after the carriage stopped, no one got out.

Frustrated Zhu gently tugged at Lu Bu's sleeve and winked.

Lu Bu was secretly amused, he knew that the literati and celebrities of this era liked to engage in this kind of thing.

Lu Bu didn't say anything, he jumped off the red rabbit, led everyone to the car, and sang loudly, "Lu Bu has been waiting for the two gentlemen here for a long time, and I also ask the two gentlemen to get out of the car and see you." ”

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young man came down first, Lu Bu recognized it as Lu Zhi's son, and then a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament, but Lu Bu did not recognize it.

The last one who came out was an old man with white hair, seeing this old man, Lu Zhi strode forward and bowed down, "Lu Zhi has seen Senior Brother Kangcheng, Senior Brother Don't come to harm!" ”

The old man also returned a salute when he saw Lu Zhi, "It turned out to be a junior brother, but I have been tired of waiting for a long time." ”

The middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament also saluted Lu Zhi, "I've seen Senior Brother Zigan." ”

Lu Zhi was also very happy to see him, "Senior Brother Ziyu is still so young and promising, unlike Senior Brother, I have gray temples, it's really enviable!" ”

Lu Zhi turned around and introduced to Lu Bu: "General Fengxian, this is my senior brother, Gao Mi Zheng Xuan, and this is my junior brother, Gao Tang Huaxin. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute, "I've seen Mr. Zheng Xuan, I've seen Mr. Hua Xin, and I have admired the names of the two gentlemen for a long time. ”

Zheng Xuan saw that Lu Bu was so polite and virtuous, and he was so thoughtful, and he was secretly satisfied.

"Zheng Xuan, the grass people, has seen the general, how dare the people in the countryside accept the general's gift?"

As he spoke, he was about to bow to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu stepped forward and stopped: "Lu Bu invited the two gentlemen out of the mountain today to help me run this normal school, and I also want to ask the two gentlemen to give advice for the country and the people, and make suggestions and suggestions in this court." ”

Zheng Xuan straightened up and said to Lu Bu with a smile: "The general's establishment of a school is a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, Zheng Xuan has already heard a detailed introduction from his junior brother, and I am also willing to have more young people learn Confucian classics." ”

So I promised Zigan to come to this normal school to preach and receive karma to solve my doubts. The affairs of the court, I am too old to do my best, so I will not participate. However, Ziyu's junior brother is in his prime, and he has a strategy, so he should contribute to the court. ”

Lu Bu was also very happy when he heard Zheng Xuan say that Hua Xin would join the ranks, "Mr. Deziyu helps me, the great cause can be expected, and Lu Bu only wishes that the world is peaceful and the people are rich!" ”

Hua Xin is not pretentious, "Hua Xin is willing to obey the arrangements of the two senior brothers, serve the imperial court, help the general, and seek the well-being of the people, but I am afraid that I will be shallow in my studies and miss a big thing!" ”

"Sir, you are modest, please go into the city to rest, the accommodation has already been arranged."

Lu Bu welcomed Zheng Xuan and Hua Xin into Chang'an City, Zheng Xuan saw the scenery along the way, and sighed, he was from Ma Rong, and more than 20 years have passed.

I don't want to revisit the old place today, Ma Rong once commented on Zheng Xuan, "Zheng Sheng is going now, I am going to the east!" ”

That is to say, twenty years ago, when Zheng Xuan left Chang'an and returned to Shandong, Ma Rong thought that only Zheng Xuan could inherit his mantle, and it would be carried forward in the Kanto region!

In June 192, Cao Cao ignored the dissuasion of many strategists, raised all the Yanzhou soldiers, and went east to Xuzhou for the second time to avenge his father and vowed to kill Tao Qian.

During the first eastern expedition to Xuzhou, Cao Cao's indiscriminate killing of innocents and slaughtering the city at every turn have aroused the dissatisfaction of many subordinates, who think he is cruel and unkind.

This time, he did not listen to the dissuasion, and he had to conquer Xuzhou again, led by Chen Gong, the garrison of Dongjun, and united Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Xu Yan, Wang Kai and others to conspire in the rebellion.

After Cao Cao's army left Yanzhou, they elected Chen Gong as their representative and went to meet a person, a person they felt was more suitable to manage Yanzhou than Cao Cao!

Xiao Pei, although it is daylight, but the pedestrian is sluggish.

Inside and outside the city gates, there were groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth, but they were heavily guarded.

At noon, outside Xiao Pei's north gate, a man dressed as a scribe on a horse came.

When the little colonel at the gate saw that he was suspicious, he stopped him and interrogated him.

The person who came was not angry, and said to the little colonel with a smile: "Go and report to your father-in-law Liu Bei, just say that the old man from Dongjun has come to give him a big gift, let him come out quickly to greet me!" ”

Seeing that his tone was not small, the little colonel dared to call the lord's name, but he was not sure of his true identity, and he did not dare to slack off, so he went in to report it.

Liu Bei was in his assassin's mansion with his two brothers, as well as the only advisor, Jian Yong, to discuss Cao Cao's Second Crusade.

Cao Cao's second expedition to Xuzhou was more fully prepared than the first time, although he was still down Surabaya, but did not come to attack Xiaopei, but went straight to Donghai County.

He had already tasted Liu Bei's hardships and didn't want to waste time on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has also received a letter of help from Tao Qian, hoping that Liu Bei can send troops to attack Cao Cao's back or flank again to relieve the pressure on Xuzhou.

Liu Bei: They are debating whether they should send troops! I heard that there was a person from outside the city, saying that he was an old man from Dongjun, and that he was here to give a big gift to himself, which made Liu Bei confused.

Hearing that Liu Bei was going out to greet him, Zhang Fei had a hot temper, so he wanted to go out and beat this arrogant person.

Jian Yong stopped Zhang Fei and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, this person is so arrogant, maybe he really has some skills, or if there is any good news, the lord may as well see it, even if he is deceived by this person, the world will only say that the lord is a virtuous corporal!" ”

"Good, what Xianhe said, is with my will, second brother, third brother, Xianhe will come with me to greet him, see where it is sacred?"
