Chapter 9 Successful Solicitation

Liu Xin smiled secretly in his heart, took out another pack of original potato chips and opened it, and motioned Huang Quan and Zhang Ren to try it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for why he chose the original potato chips, Liu Xin naturally had a plan in his heart, the potato chips he brought from Chengdu City had many flavors, what seaweed flavor, cucumber flavor, but because the logo pattern was erased by heaven, Liu Xin could only recognize the original packaging - very simple potato yellow, and other kinds of packaging made Liu Xin unable to distinguish, and these are all white flowers, Liu Xin doesn't want to waste it casually.

Although Liu Xin is very confident that he can conquer the taste buds of the people of the three countries with potato chips, Liu Xin is worried that he will choose the wrong taste, such as what XO sauce and New Orleans roast wings, which are very strange to the people of the three countries.

Therefore, most of the various snacks brought by Liu Xin this time are relatively common flavors.

With the delicious watermelon juice as a lesson from the past, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren did not hesitate this time, and reached out to eat.

There is no doubt that the crisp taste of the original potato chips, as well as the bland and sweet taste, conquered Huang Quan and Zhang Ren.

While eating the original potato chips, Huang Quan asked curiously: "Brother Liu, what is the name of this food, I have never tasted like this." ”

It is said that Liu Xin, with modern communication methods, has successfully fooled Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, and the three have become friends, of course, Liu Xin's goal is to make Huang Quan and Zhang Ren recognize themselves as the main fathers.

Liu Xin smiled, it took at least 1,000 years for this potato to be introduced to China in history, how could you have eaten this taste now?

However, of course, Liu Xin couldn't answer anything, so Liu Xin pretended to smile profoundly: "This kind of food is called potato chips, which is made of a kind of food called potatoes. ”

Huang Quan was shocked in his heart, as a child of a wealthy family, he naturally knew that scarcity was expensive, and such delicious food was destined to become the private food of the princes and nobles, just like Zhao Tuo in Liangzhou, with a bucket of wine, he was exchanged for the position of Liangzhou Thorn History (the author did not find out the time of Zhao Tuo's wine fight for Liangzhou, so for the needs of the plot, it was arranged before 179 AD), Huang Quan felt that what he ate and drank now was already considered imperial treatment.

Huang Quan thought of Liu Xin's identity as a descendant of King Huainan, and he would definitely go to Luoyang to meet Emperor Ling in the future, and when the time came, Liu Xin would only need to rely on these delicacies to be able to get the identity of a prince, and now Huang Quan is very glad that he can become friends with Liu Xin.

As for Zhang Ren, some of him was introverted, and some looked at Liu Xin with admiration, because Liu Xin had returned from the Western Regions.

In the eyes of the Han people in this period, the Western Regions were not only a wild land, but also full of dangers, with many alien races rampant in the grasslands and mountains.

Zhang Ren also asked curiously at this time: "Brother Liu, can you tell us about the situation in the Western Regions?" ”

Liu Xin naturally won't let go of such an opportunity to pretend to be forced, even if Zhang Ren doesn't ask, Liu Xin will find a chance to say it, after all, this is a good opportunity to brush up his reputation.

So, Liu Xin recounted the situation in Rome at this point in time, of course, there were a lot of private goods mixed in the middle.

For example, the Battle of Hot Springs Pass was overturned by Liu Xin, and Liu Xin led three hundred Spartans, successfully held Hot Springs Pass for half a month under the attack of 50,000 Persians, and finally waited for Greek reinforcements, and finally repelled the Persians.

Liu Xin's purpose in doing this is, of course, to establish his image high.

Under Liu Xin's vivid description, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren opened the door to a new world, and they knew for the first time that under this world, in addition to the Han Dynasty, there were several powerful empires, which made the two teenagers yearn for it.

Of course, Liu Xin did not tell Huang Quan and Zhang Ren about the heliocentric theory and the theory of evolution in order to pretend to be forced, after all, these knowledge are too advanced and incompatible with the current mainstream culture, which will cause a lot of trouble and even cause death.

However, Liu Xin here, exaggerated the status of potato chips and watermelon juice, and exaggerated these two foods to the point that only the nobles of the Western Regions can eat delicious, and even if they are emperors, they can only eat a good meal on important festivals a year.

At this moment, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, who were still happily eating potato chips and drinking watermelon juice, were a little cautious, and treated the food in front of them extremely seriously, for fear of wasting the slightest.

At this time, Liu Xin secretly laughed in his heart, it seemed that his strategy had succeeded, and his relationship with Huang Quan and Zhang Ren had gone further.

Striking while the iron was hot, Liu Xin asked Su Jia to take two palm-sized mirrors from the wooden cow's cargo bucket, solemnly handed them to Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, and said boldly: "This is the most precious item I brought back from the Western Regions, called the diorama, which is a treasure made by my master Zhou Gong combined with the magic of the Western Regions, which can illuminate the most true appearance of everyone. ”

Although only ten mirrors were prepared this time, in order to be able to abduct two famous Yizhou generals, Liu Xin felt that it was very worthwhile.

Huang Quan and Zhang Ren looked at themselves in the mirror very clearly, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Especially Huang Quan, who wanted it very much, but didn't dare to accept it, made Liu Xin want to laugh very much, but he still endured it.

As for Zhang Ren, he is also extremely entangled, but because Zhang Ren is from a poor family, although he has been living a good life with Huang Quan in recent years, Zhang Ren has not forgotten his roots, and feels that he should not accept such a precious diorama, so Zhang Ren saluted Liu Xin with a fist, and said helplessly: "Brother Liu, I understand your kindness, after all, it is useless, please forgive Zhang Ren for not accepting such a generous gift." ”

After listening to Zhang Ren's words, Huang Quan on the side also made up his mind to refuse Liu Xin's gift, and said: "Yes, Brother Liu, the diorama in your hand is priceless, originally Brother Liu, you saved me and Zhang Ren, and you already had a great favor to me, and now you have given such a big gift, how can Zhang Hede and I accept it?" In the future, if anyone else learns about this, they will definitely laugh at me and Zhang Ren. ”

Liu Xin already knew that Huang Quan and Zhang Ren would reject him, so he had already prepared his words: "Where and where, the two should know that my master, that is, Zhou Gong, his old man is good at Zhou Yi's technique, and gave me a divination before I returned to the Han Dynasty, telling me that when I return to the Han Dynasty, I will meet Huang Zhang and the two, these two are both humanistic and martial, self-denial, honest and modest, they are rare talents in this world, and they will be of a lot of help to me in the future. I know that the two of them are the Huang Zhang that my master said, so the sword is matched with the hero, and I ask you to accept these two dioramas, and please help me in the future. ”

Huang Quan and Zhang Ren couldn't help but be a little happy when they heard Liu Xin say this, because they had already believed in Liu Xin's identity, so when they heard Zhou Gong's evaluation of the two of them, the two were secretly happy, after all, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren are also well-known genius boys in Yizhou, and they are naturally full of confidence in their talents and abilities.

However, Huang Quan still humbly said: "Brother Liu, don't torture us, the two of us were besieged by bandits before, if it wasn't for Brother Liu to come to help, Zhang Ren and I are afraid that we will die in Huangquan, where can it be the Huang and Zhang in the mouth of Brother Liu's respected teacher." ”

Liu Xin knew that Huang Quan and Zhang Ren's hearts were beginning to waver, so he struck while the iron was hot, and said in a firm tone: "Where and where, there are many bandits, and it is the best choice for the two of you to not take the initiative to attack, and I look at the clothes of the two, I must not have expected to meet bandits, so I think the two of you are not prepared to take advantage of the weapons in the carriage, but I believe that even if I don't come to help, the two of you can fight your way out of the encirclement and defeat these bandits." ”

After Huang Quan and Zhang Ren glanced at each other in surprise, Zhang Ren said with a wry smile: "It seems that Brother Liu has inherited the true inheritance of the respected teacher, and it is exactly the same, this time I followed Young Master Huang Quan to Chengdu City, and I did not expect that outside Chengdu, where the public security has always been good, there would be bandits robbing the road, so I didn't prepare weapons, and even the guards took two people in vain, if Brother Liu didn't come to help, we are ready to deal with those bandits with our bare hands, ready to grab weapons, and then risk death to break through." ”

After listening to Zhang Ren's narration, Liu Xin smiled in his heart, after all, the two of them became famous generals in Yizhou in the future, and it was naturally impossible to die under these bandits, so Liu Xin guessed casually, and it turned out to be exactly the same as the facts.

Liu Xin saw that Huang Quan and Zhang Ren's eyes were full of admiration and respect, if it was in the game, Liu Xin felt that his favorability in the two of them had reached more than eighty, so the big bad wolf was finally ready to attack the little sheep.

Liu Xin's face changed, became serious, and said solemnly: "Huang Quan Zhang Ren, you and the other two are both civil and military, loyal and righteous people, now I have just returned from the Western Regions, except for my two best friends, there is no help, in the future, I must go to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven, save my ancestor's reputation, regain the throne, and now please help me, he will wait for me to be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and he will not forget the two." ”

That's right, now Liu Xin is already trying to see the poor dagger, and he is recruiting Huang Quan and Zhang Ren in a bright and bright way, of course, Liu Xin is not stupid to say anything stupid like today's mediocrity, I should replace it.

In fact, Huang Quan had already guessed Liu Xin's thoughts, after all, the watermelon juice and potato chips on the table, as well as the diorama in front of him, were all worth a thousand gold, but now Liu Xin took them out boldly to make friends with himself and Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, who was born in a wealthy family, naturally understood that Liu Xin had something to ask for.

Now in the face of Liu Xin's solicitation, Huang Quan is also very moved, glanced at Zhang Ren, and found that Zhang Ren and his thoughts are the same.

Although Liu Xin is still alone today, Liu Xin's identity is extremely noble, not only a descendant of King Huainan, but also a disciple of Duke Zhou, there must be a lot of rare treasures in his hands, as long as he goes to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven in the future, he will definitely be crowned king by Emperor Ling, and the official will be assassinated in a state!

And the person who is a confidant dies, Liu Xin values the two of them so much, and treats them both with courtesy, plus Liu Xin also has the grace to save his life, why don't the two of them serve under Liu Xin?

What's more, in the future, Liu Xin will definitely be famous in the town, and the two of them, as Liu Xin's original subordinates, will help Liu Xin to make contributions, and will naturally be Liu Xin's confidants, right-hand men, and when the time comes, he will also be considered famous, famous in all directions, and maybe he will be able to leave a name in history!

However, although Huang Quan was excited, as a descendant of a wealthy family in Langzhong, Huang Quan also had his own helplessness and could not choose to be loyal to Liu Xin without scruples, so Huang Quan came up with a compromise idea.

Huang Quan glanced at Zhang Ren again, and after years of tacit understanding, Huang Quan and Zhang Ren quickly completed the exchange, Zhang Ren nodded lightly, indicating that everything was subject to Huang Quan's arrangement.

Huang Quan took a deep breath and respectfully saluted Liu Xin and said: "The lord is above, please accept the next bow, but please also ask the lord to be considerate of his subordinates, the subordinates are from the Huang family in Langzhong, and some things cannot be the master, so the subordinates cannot be loyal to the lord for the time being, but Zhang Ren will be loyal to the lord on my behalf first, and I will also persuade my father to lead my Huang family to join the lord!" ”

Zhang Ren also saluted at the right time and said: "Zhang Ren has seen the lord!" ”

Liu Xin was overjoyed, he didn't expect to recruit two future Yizhou celebrities so easily, and he might also get the refuge of a wealthy family, all of which was enough to make Liu Xin ecstatic!

In today's chaotic and disorderly Eastern Han Dynasty, it is still nominally ruled by the Son of Heaven, but at the local level, the actual rulers are still famous families and wealthy families in various places, and the actual rights of most of the officials are hollowed out, just like the Yizhou Thorn History bought by Yi Jian, who was not suppressed by the major tycoons in Yizhou, and was forced to put the governance office in Luo County, not Chengdu, the most prosperous city in Yizhou, and the officials of each county in Yizhou are basically controlled by the wealthy families of each county, and Yin Jian has almost no appointment power.

Therefore, if the Huang family where Huang Quan is located can take refuge in himself, when Liu Xin is in charge of Yizhou in the future, the resistance will be much smaller.

Although Liu Xin was very happy in his heart, he still pretended to be calm, and said with a face as I expected: "Okay, good, now there are two great talents to help, why worry about the great cause, please accept the next worship." ”

As soon as Liu Xin got up, he was stopped by Huang Quan and shouted that he couldn't do it.

Liu Xin had to give up, and then sent the diorama again, this time Huang Quan and Zhang Ren gladly accepted.

Liu Xin officially introduced Su Jia and Jiang Wei to Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, and after everyone complimented each other, Chengdu City was already close at hand!
