"What is the situation with the third force that Yuan Zhi just mentioned, the sect?"

"The clan, also known as the clan, is a young and strong team composed of clan and township relations. At first, it was just to defend against bandits and rogues, but when it came to the great famine, these sects would also gather in groups to rob past caravans, and even plunder counties, so they were also called clan thieves. Xu Shu explained, "The clan forces are relatively scattered, and the various townships are also full of contradictions and enemies of each other, but they do not have too much influence on the general situation of Jingzhou." If Liu Jingsheng wants to control Jingzhou, the people of the Yuan clan can't be counted on, and the clan is not strong enough, so he must start from several major families! “

"Liu Biao's choice is actually our choice, right?"

"The lord is wise! When dealing with the family, it is best not to use force, but to be emotional, to talk about relationships, and finally, of course, to share benefits! “

"I can't imagine that Yuan Zhi has a deep understanding of the family?"

Xu Shu was a little ashamed and said: "It's not a secret, before the Xu family fell into the middle of the road, it was also regarded as the Yingchuan Wang clan...... And Shu, during his study in Lumen Mountain, deeply studied the survival of the family. To sum up, there is only the word "interests". “

In other words, they want to get the support of these families. It's just to draw a big pie and tell them, support me, after the deed is done, everyone can get a piece according to the contribution? “

"This ...... This explanation of the lord is really breathtaking! This is the principle of the road, but it is not possible to talk about interests so fruitlessly. Families all want to save face, so they need family, friendship and other relationships to disguise, so that they can be crowning! “

The former head of the cottage had a gust of wind, and now Nanyang Li Feng snorted sullenly: "Why are the people of this family so troublesome?!" ”

Wang Xiaoxiao objected: "Not really! You see that the little lady Yueying is very easy to get along with! And the little lady of the Zhen family from Zhongshan, it's not difficult to get it? ”

"Uhhh

Xu Shu smiled: "It's not people who are in trouble, but this set of rules for life!" The people of the family are not necessarily bad, but when they behave and deal with things, they will habitually start from the perspective of family interests! It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The family is just a characteristic of the family, which is magnified several times. ”

He Xian asked again: "Then which one do you think we should start with?" Jiangxia Huang's? ”

"Nope! Because you and the little lady Yueying are already engaged, the Jiangxia Huang family and Nanyang already have a natural alliance relationship, even if they don't support the lord, they won't take the liberty to support Liu Jingsheng. Therefore, the first person who needs to be persuaded by the lord is not the Huang family, but the Xiang family! And to get the support of the Xiang clan, the lord needs to ask for the support of one person! “

"A man's host?"

"Your mentor - Mr. Water Mirror! As long as you get Mr. Shuijing's handwritten letter, the lord can enter Xiang's house in a grand manner. Next, it depends on whether the lord can come up with enough benefits to make the Xiang clan tempted. After Xu Shu finished speaking, he bowed to the end.

"Good! I'm going to go to Master Sima and ask for a letter! He Xian stood up and said, "After getting the letter, Yuan Zhi and Yueying accompanied me to Xiangyang." What gold and silver materials are needed, Yuan Zhi just needs to receive them with Fangzheng! The rest of you continue to guard Nanyang County! “

"No!" The crowd responded in unison.

……

Shuijing Academy, Sima Hui's living room. He Xian skillfully brewed a pot of kung fu tea, poured a cup, and respectfully handed it to Sima Hui.

"Master, please drink tea!"

"Faithfulness marches in all directions, without stopping. Unexpectedly, the craftsmanship of this tea ceremony is not unfamiliar at all! Sima Hui took the cup, took a sip, and said with emotion.

He Xian smiled and said: "It is Xian's greatest honor to be praised by the master!" Tea art is like martial arts, and the most particular is the state of mind. The mood is there, and the art is not low. “

"It's a good mood, the art is not low! Say, what's the matter with finding a teacher this time? Sima Hui asked:

He Xian replied: "The boy wants to ask for a letter from the master!" ”

Sima Hui raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "A letter from the teacher?" Who is it for? And what is it? ”

He Xian replied: "Write a Xiangyang Xianglang, I hope he can support me and oppose Liu Jingsheng's entry into Jingzhou!" ”

"Xiang Juda has indeed followed as a teacher for a while! However, Liu Jingsheng's royal family is famous all over the world, and he came to guard Jingzhou with the edict of the Son of Heaven. Why do you object? ”

He Xian asked Sima Hui rhetorically: "May I ask if the master wants to hear the truth or lie?" ”

Sima Hui asked, "What about lies?" ”

He Xian replied: "If it is a lie, I will say that Liu Jingsheng took refuge in Dong Thief and groveled to seek wealth and nobility, which is a villain's behavior." How could Jingzhou fall into the hands of such shameless people? ”

Sima Hui asked again: "What about the truth?" ”

He Xian replied: "Nanyang is too small, Jingzhou is very big. If the Nanyang Army wants to continue to develop, it must get the hinterland of Jingzhou as depth. ”

"What do you do to develop the Nanyang Army?" Sima Hui asked again.

"Kuang Fu Han family, calm the world, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world!" He Xian opened his mouth and came.

"Telling the truth?" Sima Hui stared at He Xian's eyes and asked.

"It's true!" He Xian said firmly, "Troubled times are coming, if the Nanyang Army can be stationed in Jingzhou, it will be able to protect the people of Jingzhou from the invasion of war!" ”

"Okay, for the teacher, believe in you! I hope you will always remember your promise today! Power is charming, wealth is bad! Don't lose yourself! After Sima Hui finished speaking, he stood up.

"Huh? Master, did you agree? Sima Hui agreed too happily, but He Xian couldn't react.

"The changes in Nanyang are in the eyes of teachers! The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the education is opened, which is the work of the saints! As a teacher, I also hope that you can promote the grand scenery of Nanyang to the counties of Jingzhou, to the Dahan Prefectures, and to the whole world! ”

He Xian's expression was solemn, his hands arched together, and he said deeply: "Thank you Master!" Remember: Master's teachings today! ”

After getting Sima Hui's letter, He Xian took Xu Shu and Huang Yueying to cross the Han River, bypass Xiangyang City, and go to Yicheng.

Yicheng is located in the northwest of present-day Hubei Province. Yicheng in the Han Dynasty was also a relatively wealthy area in Jingzhou, but it could not be compared with the prosperity of the Central Plains. Even compared with Nanyang, there is a big gap. On the road from Xiangyang to Yicheng, there are almost no people. More than a dozen fast horses, a luxuriously decorated carriage, with the flag of Nanyang firm, galloped quickly on the official road.

The knight led by "Huh~" grabbed the reins, only to see a big tree across the road, blocking the direction of the carriage.

"Watch out!" More than a dozen knights quickly pulled out their weapons from under the horse's belly, shielded in their left hand and crossbowed in their right hand, and protected the carriage.
