After listening to Li Tingzhi's words, Zhang Xian thought that later generations had read Lu Xiufu's Northern Expedition strategy, to the effect that he would first gain time to develop national strength, accumulate people's strength and financial resources, encourage the Han people in the north to rise up against the Yuan, and then cooperate with Wang's Northern Expedition. Although it is different from the Northern Expedition planned by Zhang Xian in his heart, Zhang Xian has to admit that among the ancient conventional tactics, this is also the safest method, and he can't look at the current Lu Xiufu with the thinking of a thousand years later, Zhang Xian hurriedly hugged his fists respectfully, waved at Lu Xiufu, and said:

"Learn from Zhang Xian and meet your predecessors! The Northern Expedition strategy of the senior high school jinshi is really a splendid article, done in one go, with unique insights, and the younger brother is thought-provoking to read, and admires it! ”

Lu Xiufu didn't seem to be interested in the face of Zhang Xian's sycophant, and said lightly:

"Lord Zhang has a good reputation, I am a mountain people, fortunately with the help of Lord Li, I have to eat a mouthful, now the state affairs are difficult, I still rely on Lord Li for self-protection, and the Northern Expedition can only be said in the article, and when it really comes, there will be a futile lamentation, but what?"

Zhang Xian saw that Lu Xiufu seemed to feel bleak about the future, and it is no wonder that Lu Xiufu was Xianchun for ten years, and almost eight or nine years later, Li Tingzhi was appointed as the envoy of Huaidong and promoted Lu Xiufu to the Senate. Ten years later, in the first year of Deyou's border defense, most of the staff fled, and only Lu Xiufu did not leave. Li Tingzhi was impressed by Lu Xiufu's loyalty, and recommended Lu Xiufu to the imperial court, so he was appointed as the chief of Sinong Temple, and was repeatedly promoted until he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Zongzheng and the acting resident of the house. In addition to the current Lu Xiufu's name as a jinshi, that is, a scholar who has no ambition, Zhang Xian doesn't want to see Lu Xiufu look depressed, for such a scholar, he can only be warned from a moral point of view, so Zhang Xian put his hands on the table and said casually:

"Brother Lu's words to redeem the little brother dare not agree, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! Why should Brother Lu be so depressed! Now there is a great chaos, the Tartars are raging in the land of China, the people have been slaughtered, and our Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji is also in danger. Will be nameless, from the reckless, many famous generals in the past, most of them have gone through hardships and ups and downs to achieve great things, Brother Lu, although the younger brother's studies stopped at the tribute, but he did not dare to forget the national hatred and family hatred, the younger brother gave the brother a word: the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! ”

Li Tingzhi heard what Zhang Xian said, couldn't help nodding and smiling, Lu Xiufu was even more stunned, he had said that Li Tingzhi had said that this person was a character, when he saw Zhang Xian today, he felt that the other party was too young, and he felt that Zhang Xian was a bit of shit luck to have such an achievement today, but he never expected that Zhang Xian's words directly exposed the cowardice that he had never dared to face. After all, Lu Xiufu is a scholar with integrity, and he was persuaded by Zhang Xian so bitterly, if he hasn't said it yet, then it is not him Lu Xiufu, so Lu Xiufu hurriedly stood up at Zhang Xian and hugged his fists, and said:

"Master Zhang's kind words, it is really like an enlightenment, which makes people suddenly open, for my brother to trust me today, thank you Brother Zhang Xian! The virtuous brother has learned a lot of knowledge, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and a simple single sentence has condensed the relationship between the people of the world and the rise and fall of the family and the country.

"Brother Lu is serious, the person that Lord Li can appreciate is by no means a person who does nothing, I have heard Lord Li praise Brother Lu many times before, and today I see that it is really worthy of the name, come and come, the younger brother borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and salutes the two of you with a cup!" Zhang Xian said with a smile after listening to what Lu Xiufu said.

Li Tingzhi looked at the two of them in a blink of an eye, and he was sincerely happy, Li Tingzhi is famous for paying attention to recruiting talents, and his shogunate has a lot of talents, and it is known as the small court in the south of the Yangtze River in history, if Zhang Xian can use it for himself, of course it would be better, but Li Tingzhi may not have thought at all that the talents he wanted to recruit now plan to recruit himself and Lu Xiufu one day in the future! Li Tingzhi, who was in a good mood, picked up the wine glass and stood up and said:

"Hahaha, it's rare Brother Zhang Xian, who doesn't even give the face of the emperor's cha, but respects you Lu Junshi so much, it's really rare! And you Lu Junshi are usually above the top, and it is rare to be willing to talk so much to people, this is fate! Come on, come on, let's drain this glass! Rejoice! ”

As soon as Zhang Xian was happy in Li Tingzhi's mansion, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and he walked a little flutteringly, Zhang Xian was sent to the door by Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu all the way, and said goodbye one by one, Li Tingzhi arranged for four personal soldiers to escort Zhang Xian home.

Since crossing over, it took more than half a year, and finally just had a stable foundation, and in a blink of an eye, it was already about to be the New Year, Zhang Xian knew that there was still more than a year, and Meng Yuan was going to attack Xiangyang in a big way, and it took a whole ten years to take Xiangyang, but as soon as the portal of Xiangyang was opened, the Great Song Dynasty was completely destroyed by Mengyuan Tartar in just a few years. Calculated that this time is really too short, and Zhang Xian can't help but hope that time will pass slowly, and he will have more development and more hope for victory.

Unconsciously, Zhang Xian staggered to the most lively wine shop in Yangzhou City, the wide road was lined with shops on both sides, and the bustling flow of people was accompanied by the shouting of the shopkeeper Xiaoer, so that Zhang Xian couldn't help but think of the famous poem:

Outside the mountain, Outside the mountain,

When does West Lake singing and dancing stop?

The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk,

Straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou.

Today's Yangzhou has just won the victory in the battle against bandits, and the people seem to have forgotten the Tatar Chen Bing Xiangyang, and the literati and dignitaries are all living a life of drunken gold, as if they don't know that the country is in danger at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but shake his head, and just as Zhang Xian was in his fugue, a young student dressed as a scholar appeared in front of Zhang Xian, clasped his fists, and said:

"Your Excellency is Lord Zhang Xian?"

Zhang Xian saw that he didn't know this person, and asked suspiciously:

"This official is exact, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

"That's right, my son-in-law admires Zhang Da's humanities and martial arts, and he exterminated tens of thousands of bandits with a flick of his fingers, and specially invited Mr. Zhang to talk about it! Please also ask the son to enjoy the light! The little boy said.

"Thank you for my kindness, a little thing, why worry about it, the official still has important matters, so it is inconvenient to accompany him!" Zhang Xian didn't want to waste his time on this kind of boring entertainment, so he had to politely decline.

When the scholar saw that Zhang Xian was leaving, he immediately opened his arms to block the front and said:

"My son-in-law is kindly invited, and it is better for Master Zhang to go!" The little scholar's face turned cold.

Zhang Xian was taken aback, what is the situation? And forced treats? Is it a Hongmen banquet or an overlord meal? Zhang Xian said with a smile:

"Are you a naked threat to the official?"

As soon as Zhang Xian's voice fell, Li Tingzhi escorted Zhang Xian's four pro-soldier leaders, and they were about to push the little scholar away, but they didn't expect that the pro-soldier leader was still in mid-air, and he was suddenly turned sideways by the little scholar, pinched the Quchi acupoint on his arm, and immediately fixed numbly on the spot.

Zhang Xian shouted loudly:

"Stop! You are not this little brother's opponent, he should have no ill will towards me, otherwise he would not have been invited on the street! Go back to the four of you, for there is my house not far ahead. ”

The little scholar saw that Zhang Xian was interested, and said with a smile: .

"If you are sensible, please, my son-in-law is upstairs in the No. 1 private room of Tianzi!"

Zhang Xian sent away Li Tingzhi's personal soldiers, and followed the scholar to the most luxurious Tianzi No. 1 private room in this restaurant, which was elegantly laid out, wide enough, a wide window opened on the street, and seven or eight plates of exquisite dishes were placed on the wine table, except for a steamed fish, the others were some light seasonal vegetables.

The boy sitting on the table was extremely elegant, wearing a wide white Confucian shirt, wearing a small hat with lop ears on his head, and a face that looked delicate and white, Zhang Xian shouted in his heart, a handsome scholar, and said:

"I don't know if this son has a big name and is warmly invited, and I don't know what to teach!"

The white-shirted boy stood up, behind his left hand, with a wave of his right hand, a delicate landscape painting fan, unfolded with a snap, looked at Zhang Xian carefully, and looked at Zhang Xian a little creepy, after a while, the white-shirted boy said:

"Lord Zhang, please be seated! Xiao Ke's surname is Liu, and his name keeps the contract! Today, I was slightly invited by Bo Jiu to get together with Mr. Zhang, and I had already heard that after Zhang Gongzi became an official, he strangled tens of thousands of bandits with only 3,000 families. Others say that Xiao Ke is really unbelievable, and he made up his mind to pay attention to visit today! We are of average age, but Lord Zhang is so talented, he has already achieved fame, and he has done something big, so I want to ask Lord Zhang for a lesson or two! Dare to ask adults, can you calm the world and the people? ”

Zhang Xian sat down calmly with the attitude of being at ease, and when he heard that this son spoke softly, he said:

"Liu Shouyue Liu Gongzi, your name is very interesting! These so-called exploits of this official are really not worth mentioning, the plague of bandits in the world is nothing more than the disease of ringworm, and the only real stubborn enemy of my Great Song Dynasty is Tartar! ”

"Dare to ask Master Zhang, how can you see it? It stands to reason that my Great Song Dynasty has the strong city of Xiangyang, although the Tartar Iron Cavalry is good at field warfare, but not good at siege warfare. Liu Shouyue asked suspiciously.

"The city is dead, but the man is alive! The Tartars are even more shameless and untrustworthy, it's as simple as that! Zhang Xian said.

"A good city is dead, but people are alive! Tartar is even more shameless and untrustworthy, so in this way, Lord Zhang is also a person who keeps his promises! Liu Shouyue said slightly teasingly.

What do you mean by that? Could it be that this official has broken his trust in others? If you can't say why, then take your leave! Zhang Xian was inexplicably ridiculed by an unknown person, and he also lost his temper.

"Don't be impatient, how dare you say that Lord Zhang is untrustworthy to others? This is a small matter, but it is inappropriate to speak, so bear with me! You can punish yourself with a drink! It is reported that Lord Zhang is also a tribute, and his knowledge is naturally not low, so Xiao Ke can take the liberty to ask Lord Zhang for a poem, how about it? ”

Liu Shouyu saw that Zhang Xian was dissatisfied, punished himself with a glass of wine, and gave Zhang Xian a decent step down, but Zhang Xian felt unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart: You are sarcastic Lao Tzu for a while, and Lao Tzu will write poems for you for a while, you have nothing to do when Lao Tzu is a merry and talented man, and hook up with women all day long? Besides, even if you hook up, you are hooking up with a beautiful woman who is captivating the country and the city, and I am really not interested in men!
