Chapter 45 [Wang Cang! 】
Wei Yan bowed and saluted: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, and will keep Cao Cao and Yuan Shu out of Jingzhou." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liu Biao twisted his beard and laughed: "So Lao Wenchang!" ”
Just when everyone was happy, suddenly a discordant voice sounded: "Lord, this person is cunning and cannot be used!" ”
Everyone turned their eyes to the man, and saw that the man was about twenty years old, no more than six feet tall, very short, his face was white and blue, and his facial features were not good-looking.
Wei Yan also turned around to look at the man, damn it, Lao Tzu and you don't know each other, no hatred and no grudge, why do you want to slander me!
At this time, the artifact elf suddenly said in his mind: "My lord, I found that the seed of the able minister Wang Can Wang Zhongxuan, this person has 3 military strength, 7 command, 81 intelligence, 78 politics, 40 charm, not weak ability, and greater potential." His favorability towards the lord is only 45, but his loyalty to Liu Biao is also only 75. Post a task, subdue Wang Cang, you can get 20,000 points if you succeed, and 20,000 points will be deducted if you fail. ”
Wei Yan was suddenly surprised, Wang Cang, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, his poetry is the crown of the seven sons of Jian'an, and Cao Zhi is called "Cao Wang", extremely knowledgeable, thanks to his mentor Cai Yong's true biography, whether it is the formulation of etiquette rules or the handling of the recital, all of them have been written immediately.
He is good at writing articles, always swaying, never need to revise, people often think that he is pre-written, but despite their repeated careful ideas, the articles they write cannot surpass Wang Cang.
Wang Cang is also good at calculations, doing arithmetic, and always comes up with the correct answer very easily.
If he can get such a talent, Wei Yan will not have to worry about publicity and accounting work in the future!
Wang Cang was born in a famous family, and his great-grandfather Wang Gong was a lieutenant in the time of Emperor Shun of Han; Grandfather Wang Chang, who was Sikong when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was a famous scholar at that time, and both of them were ranked as the third duke. Wang Cang's father, Wang Qian, was the long history of the general He Jin.
In the second year of Chuping (191), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was controlled by Dong Zhuo and moved west to Chang'an, and Wang Cang also went with him. At that time, the famous scholar and Zuo Zhonglang general Cai Yong saw Wang Cang, and felt that he was a genius. At that time, Cai Yong's talent was famous all over the world, and he was respected by Manchu officials. One day, Cai Yong heard that Wang Cang was asking to see him outside the door, so he hurriedly went out to greet him, and he didn't even care if his shoes fell down. As soon as Wang Cang entered the door, because he was young and short, the room was full of surprise. Cai Yong said: "This is Wang Cang, the grandson of Sikong Wanggong (Wang Chang), he is indeed a genius, which makes me ashamed." I should give him all the books and articles I have in my house.
In the fourth year of Chuping (193), the seventeen-year-old Wang Cang was recruited by Situ and was called to serve as a waiter of the Yellow Gate. Wang Cang did not go to his post because of the chaotic situation in Chang'an. Soon, he went to Jingzhou to seek refuge with his fellow countryman, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. Liu Biao saw that he was not good-looking, his body was weak, and he was not informal, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
Now that Liu Biao saw Wang Cang come out to speak, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked lightly: "Why did Zhong Xuan say this?" ”
Wang Cang glanced at Wei Yan coldly, and said: "This person is not like a person who studies calligraphy and ink, but he recites the book that the lord participated in compiling, and inferences from his subordinates that this person has not studied the lord's book, but this person is really well-read and memorized, this person may have only read it twice in a hurry, and then wrote it down, but now he claims to have studied the deepest, this move is to deceive the lord, which shows that this person is cunning and untrustworthy!" ”
Cai Mao was overjoyed when he saw that Liu Biao was about to implement Wei Yan's appointment, he recommended Wei Yan to Liu Biao, and Wei Yan would obey his orders in the future, but at this time, Wang Cang inserted a lever sideways, which made him extremely unhappy, and said coldly: "Wang Zhongxuan, don't think that everyone in the world is as knowledgeable and strong as you." ”
Wang allusions to the story of Cang, when he was young, he was famous, well-read and memorized, and he had a talent that he never forgets.
One day, Wang Cang was walking with his friends and saw an ancient monument on the side of the road, so he stood there and read aloud. A friend asked him, "Can you recite it?" Wang Cang replied, "Yes." The friend immediately told him to turn around and recite the inscription, and the result was word-for-word.
Once, when Wang Cang watched others play Go, someone accidentally messed with the chess pieces, and he said that he could help others rearrange the chess pieces according to the original situation. The chess player didn't believe it, so he took out a handkerchief and put it on the chessboard and asked him to change the chessboard and rearrange it, but as a result, there was not even a single error.
Wang Cang is so knowledgeable and strong-minded.
Liu Biao also knew Wang Cang's fame, so he smiled faintly: "What De Jue said is very true, Zhong Xuan, don't think that everyone in the world is like you, what we are discussing is a major military and political matter, which is not what you understand, and retreat!" ”
Wang Cang wanted Wei Yan to prove that he was well-read and strong, but suddenly thought that under the current situation, how could Wei Yan be willing to cooperate, if Wei Yan was asked to recite other books, Wei Yan would definitely stammer.
He had no choice but to retreat into the table in hatred.
At this time, Wei Yan bowed down and said: "Lord, what Zhong Xuan said is not entirely wrong, the last general is indeed well-read and strong, but it is only slightly better than ordinary people, far inferior to Zhong Xuan." The last general is not as lucky as Zhong Xuan, to have a university scholar like Cai Zhonglang as a teacher, the last general can only read more, since the end of the general to get the lord to write these three books, if you get the treasure, you can't put it down, familiar with the recitation, because of the number of reading, the last general also broke the page of the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences", it is really distressing! I am ashamed that although the last general has read it many times, due to his talent, he still does not understand the true meaning of the book. ”
Wang Cang just wanted to vomit blood during the banquet, and Wei Yan's statement perfectly plugged his own loophole.
Liu Biao laughed: "Wen Chang can devote himself to Confucianism, which is gratifying." Although I like Wenchang's heart of Confucianism, how can I be plagued by thieves now, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are two thieves from Yiyang counties to threaten me Jingzhou, I need Wenchang to guard Yiyang counties, don't leave without permission, it's not that I refuse to accept you. In this way, I will give you a hundred books to read, and read them as much as you want. ”
Wei Yan naturally knew that with Liu Biao's identity, it was impossible to accept disciples easily, and with Liu Biao's family and clan background, even if he accepted disciples, he was also a disciple of the family, and he was definitely not a military general from a poor family like himself, Wei Yan said that just now, just to show his attitude towards Confucianism, so as to get Liu Biao's appreciation.
As for the broken pages of the "Five Classics and Chapters and Sentences", it is definitely not that the reading is too broken, but that the paper of Cai Hou in this era is fragile, and when Wei Yan turned the book, he had a little more strength, and the pages were broken.
After that incident, Wei Yan had already made up his mind to improve papermaking and printing as soon as possible.
Subsequently, Liu Biao sent Wei Yan to follow the scribes to receive various seals and official documents.
After Wei Yan left, Kuai Yue said: "My lord, what Zhong Xuan said is not unreasonable, Wei Yan showed his cunning and wisdom when he merged Li Tong and other three forces before, for this person, it is natural to use it, but he must be wary of him, and his subordinates suggested that Wang Zhongxuan should be appointed as the magistrate of Fuyang County, and let Kuai Qi be the magistrate of Pingchun County, and order him to supervise Wei Yan. ”
That Kuai Qi is Kuai Yue's brother who is about to take office in Yiyang, and now Kuai Yue took the opportunity to install him in Pingchun County as a county magistrate.
Kuai Qi also has a more conspicuous identity, he is the husband of Zhuge Liang's eldest sister Zhuge Meng.
Kuai Yue naturally didn't know, he suggested that Wang Cang go to spy on Wei Yan, and it was the meat bun beating the dog, Jingzhou would soon lose the best propaganda talent!
Moreover, his brother Kuaiqi's hat will be green in a short time!
