Chapter 270: The World Academic Exchange Conference
Zhuge Xuan, for him, is just a Changsha Taishou, Changsha has no Taishou, it can be changed at any time, and there are many people waiting for this position. Comparatively, 10,000 sets of weapons and 5,000 war horses are not a small number!
If you convert it into money, it will be worth at least a million gold!
Ten Zhuge Xuan, they can't sell millions of gold!
More importantly, these armaments are of great use. In the war between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, although the armaments obtained from the last transaction were too scattered, the role was still very obvious, and Liu Biao still has a sweet heart.
However, why would Liu Yuan take such a large amount of benefits in exchange for Zhuge Xuan?
Liu Biao groaned in his heart. Could it be that this Zhuge Xuan is so valuable?
If you want to talk about Zhuge Xuan's identity, although he is also from a family, he is just a small family, and it is still a small family that has declined. If you want to say that his talent is only average, he is not a great talent in the world.
Liu Biao weighed the gains and losses in his heart, but his face was silent, and said: "Zhuge Xuan is talented, quite outstanding, and has made many contributions to my Jingzhou, and the pastor of Benzhou is quite reluctant."
Dian Wei smiled innocently, but his eyes were extremely calm. Liu Biao's expression, where is Zhuge Xuan? Like the vendor selling his own goods on the street, he said that he was desperate to be valuable.
To put it bluntly, I just want to squeeze as many benefits as possible.
"Hehehe" Dian Wei smiled, touched his head, and said with some distress: "But Lord Zhou Mu, our young master only gave these shares, it's a pity, I can only give up." Dian Wei said, and was about to turn around: "I'm going to Lumen Mountain to deliver a letter." β
When Liu Biao saw it, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, this matter can still be discussed." Why don't you stay here first, and Benzhou Mu will talk to Zhuge Xuan first, and then think about it? β
Dian Wei carried Liu Biao on his back, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, turned around, and resumed his simple smile: "That's good, that's good." However, the matter ordered by the young master is important, I still go to Lumen Mountain first, and then come back to meet Lord Zhoumu. β
When Liu Biao heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "It's okay." β
Dian Wei clenched his fists, turned around and walked out the door.
"Come on, send the leader for the state pastor."
Dian Wei took people out of Xiangyang, found a guide, and went straight to Lumen Mountain.
Thirty miles, but half an hour's effort, a hundred horsemen arrived at the foot of Lumen Mountain.
"Dismount, go up the mountain."
Dian Wei shouted, turned over and dismounted, leaving fifty people to guard the war horses, and he took the other fifty people and went up the mountain.
At this time, in the open space outside the small courtyard on the side of Lumen Mountain, Pang Degong was hoeing and planting with a group of students.
"As the saying goes, it is shallow on paper, and things must be done. Although we Confucian scholars do university questions and have the world in mind, we can't ignore these little things. It will be good for you to work hard and experience it. β
The students nodded yes while hoeing the ground seriously.
Suddenly, Pang Degong raised his head and looked at the end of the winding path.
"Alright, that's all for today, there's a guest coming."
As soon as the words fell, I saw a heavy figure looming in the distance.
Pang Degong and the students looked up at each other, and saw a strong man with about fifty people appearing in their eyes.
"Soldiers?" A young man beside Pang Degong frowned and said, "Uncle, how can there be soldiers here?" β
"Be ill-intentioned!" The other slightly smaller boy beside the boy said firmly.
Pang Degong shook his head and said, "Definitely." Behold, though they were clothed with armor and sharp, they were not unsheathed. And the steps are not slow, and the killing machine has not broken out all over the body, which should be goodwill. β
The students groaned slightly, and they all nodded.
After a while, Dian Wei came closer, clasped his fists and bowed to the old man led by him: "It's Pang Degong in person?" β
"It's the old man." Pang Degong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Where did the general come from?" β
"Below is Dian Wei, the commander of the personal guard under the command of the King of Yuyang, but this time he was ordered by the lord to bring the handwritten letter of Zheng Xuankang Chenggong, the dean of Youzhou College, to visit Pang Degong." Dian Wei's face was solemn, neither humble nor arrogant.
When Pang Degong heard this, his deep eyes suddenly burst into a burst of wisdom, and he looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the commander in person, please!" β
Introduced Dian Wei into the small courtyard, sat down on the stone table in the courtyard, and then said: "Where is the letter from Kang Chenggong?" β
Dian Wei took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Pang Degong with both hands. Then like a statue, he sat on a stone bench and said nothing.
Pound was secretly amazed when he saw this, and opened the envelope and read it carefully.
Outside the courtyard, the fifty guards stood in two rows, standing solemnly on both sides of the gate, holding the handle of the knife at the waist with their left hand, and pressing their right hand against the outside of their thighs, standing straight without squinting.
A cadre of students stood aside, looked up and down, and quietly said this, judging the head.
"Look at them, the posture is the same, the movements are the same, even the eyes are the same! What a might! β
Someone exclaimed.
"Such an army, acting in unison, advancing and retreating together on the battlefield, with the same sword, with the knife, with the knife, the battle formation is changed as expected, and the military order is issued quickly, as long as the main general is not a straw bag, it is a simple matter to win!"
"Exactly. Look at them, wearing iron armor and swords, they also have a hundred and ten catties. This Lumen Mountain Academy is also hundreds of zhang high, and no one has been seen blushing and panting along the way, and the physical strength is long! β
"Well, the soldiers are as strong as tigers and wolves, the whole army is like one person, and they have excellent equipment, no wonder they can win all battles!"
"I heard that this Youzhou army can also use immortal arts, I don't know if it's true or not."
"Why don't you ask?"
As some of the students spoke, they instigated one of them to come forward and ask each other.
The man looked at the classmate behind him with a resentful face, straightened his clothes, walked forward slowly, gave a slight salute, and asked the vanguard, "This brother, I have heard that the Youzhou army can use magic and attack everything, can you tell me in detail?" β
When the soldier heard this, his hair didn't move, his face was still like a stone, and his eyes were only looking ahead, motionless, and he didn't answer at all.
The student hit the wall, touched his gray face, came back very unhappy, and said to his classmates: "Iron-like people, you have to ask yourself." β
This student hit a wall, and everyone else witnessed it, and they didn't care, but one by one they were even more brilliant.
"If the heart is like an iron stone, and it is not moved by external objects, it is the army of a hundred battles!"
Pang Tong and the other students looked at the fifty people in front of them without blinking, and praised and praised in their hearts, sighed and sighed.
Zhuge Xiaozhengtai frowned slightly, and pondered: "No one in this army can be defeated? But there was some unbelief in my heart.
At this time, Pang Degong in the courtyard had already finished reading Zheng Xuan's handwriting, pondered slightly, and asked Dian Wei: "What is this academic exchange?" β
Where does Dian Wei know what academic exchanges, but before leaving, Liu Yuan had already stared at him and let him remember a few words, so he read according to the book and said: "Kang Chenggong said that academics need exchanges, exchanges and competitions in order to make great progress, and Pang Degong, you are famous all over the world, and you are a generation of academics. β
Pang Degong nodded slightly, and asked again: "Do you know what the specifics are?" β
Dian Wei said with a smile: "This academic exchange is the first academic exchange meeting held by Youzhou University. During this period, the patriarchs of Confucianism, Mohistism, Legalism, Taoism and many other schools will bring their protΓ©gΓ©s to participate in the exchange, so as to achieve the purpose of learning from each other's strengths and making progress together. β
When Pang Degong heard this, his heart was suddenly moved.
If the so-called academic exchange meeting is just a few old Confucian things to talk about, it is okay not to go. But now there are hundreds of schools of thought contending, if you don't go, you will miss the great opportunity to witness the grand occasion! What's more, Pang Degong also wanted to learn from the sect masters of various schools to confirm what he had learned and what he thought in his heart in the past few decades.
After thinking for a moment, Pang Degong smiled and said, "How can the old man miss such a grand event?" I wonder when the event will take place? The old man should also prepare. β
Seeing that the matter was completed, Dian Wei immediately smiled and said: "The academic exchange meeting of Youzhou College is scheduled for the first day of the fifth month, and there is still a month and a half before now. It may take a month to go north this way, that is to say, Pang Degong, you still have half a month to prepare. β
"Half a month is enough!" Pang Degong said with a smile: "The old man first thanked the commander here, and along the way, he had to bother the commander to escort him." β
"This is what I should do, and Pang Degong doesn't have to do this."
In fact, this academic exchange meeting was also Liu Yuan's temporary idea.
At first, Liu Yuan just used this to attract the attention of Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others. After Zheng Xuan heard about the specific situation, he said that if there was no big gimmick, I was afraid that Pang Degong would not be moved, so Liu Yuan thought about it a little and came up with such an idea.
At the same time, this idea has also been approved and resonated by the deans of Youzhou College.
Zheng Xuan was even more happy, and said to Liu Yuan that this is the real contention of a hundred schools. Therefore, on the first day of the fifth month, it was set as an academic exchange, and it will be held every three years in the future!
Then, Dian Wei said that half a month later, he would come to Lumen Mountain to pick up Pang Degong and his party, and then took people away.
After Dian Wei left, Pang Degong called a group of students to the house.
"On the first day of May, Youzhou will hold a world academic exchange meeting. The old man thought about it and wanted to confirm what he had learned for many years, so he agreed to Kang Chenggong's invitation. In this academic exchange meeting in the world, there are many schools of thought, and each school must bring their protΓ©gΓ©s to see and learn from each other, and the old man naturally cannot lag behind. Which of you would like to go north to Youzhou with the old man to see this grand event? β
When the students heard this, they were all willing, and even the little Zhengtai Zhuge Liang was also very happy.
"Well, then, within half a month, you must be ready, and in half a month we will be on our way. In this half month, you must study knowledge for good students, and you can't lose the face of the old man when you get to Youzhou! β
"Yes, sir!"
"Stand down."
After the students retired, they talked to each other non-stop.
Pang Tong touched the young man beside him and said, "Senior Brother Yuanzhi, I'm tired of this old mountain and old forest, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk, but unfortunately my uncle won't let me." It's good this time, it's right, hehe"
The young man's surname is Xu, his name is Shu, and his character is straight.
Xu Shu smiled and said, "What's so strange about the outside world?" β
Xu Shu traveled all over the country in his early years and had a good understanding of the people's suffering. Nowadays, the Central Plains is in the midst of war, and the people are struggling to make a living, as a young man with ideals and ambitions, it is both sad and resentful.
"By the way, Senior Brother Xu, Uncle Xu asked you to go down the mountain and go to find Allah's help, why did you senior brothers come back again?" Pang Tong suddenly remembered that these senior brothers returned to Lumen Mountain together a few days ago.
Since the brothers have returned, that is to say, Allah has not been found. But how many princes are there in this world? There are many eloquent talents, and it is impossible not to be eye-catching.
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "Brother Cui, Brother Shi, and Brother Meng went out of Jingzhou, and were about to go to Luoyang, Yanzhou and other places, but I didn't expect to encounter a big war on the road, so I had no choice but to come back first, and then make plans when the situation is stable." β
"I see!"
Pang Tong nodded and said, "I haven't been down Lumen Mountain for a long time, and I really don't know much about what has happened outside recently, can you tell me about it, senior brother?" β
"Okay, let's talk about it roughly."
A few of his classmates also gathered around. He was very curious about what happened recently, and Zhuge Liang also stood beside Xu Shu and listened attentively.
