In the small bamboo forest outside Xiangyang, Sima Hui's house is still quiet and peaceful, although the entire Jingzhou has changed hands, but it obviously has little impact on the place away from the noise of the city.

The students in the courtyard are still the same, in addition to listening to Sima Hui's teachings at a fixed time every day, they are gathered together in twos and threes, discussing the current major princes and political situation, but compared to before, they will selectively avoid Lu An, after all, no matter what their impression of each other is, the other party is already the master of this fertile land, holding their power of life and death, and the so-called more words must be lost The students still understand.

"Hey, Kong Ming, Shi Yuan and Shan Fu are all gone, I'm a little unaccustomed to it now!" In the midst of everyone's discussion, I don't know who suddenly mentioned Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Shan Fu, who had left the academy, with a little sigh.

"Shan Fu doesn't care about him, he is just a registered disciple of the teacher, what I don't understand is that Kong Ming and Shiyuan are both talents in the world, why did they follow Liu Bei to Yizhou? Then Liu Bei has nothing but the name of a Han clan relative, what can the two of them do in the past? ”

"That is, according to me, it is more appropriate for the two of them to stay in Jingzhou to serve General Lu, after all, General Lu has benevolently spared Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuailiang and others, and the two of them should not be held accountable, so that their talents can be fully displayed in Jingzhou."

"General Lu? Didn't you say that he was a thief who brought disaster to the country? ”

"At this time and that time, General Lu occupies Jingyang and Yangzhou, and he is already the lord of the world, since he entered Jingzhou, he has been rectifying the sergeants, and there has never been a phenomenon of sergeants snatching property, and in addition to forcibly buying back land with money, he has not done anything too out of line, so it can be seen that the rumors we heard before are not necessarily true!"

"You're changing so fast!"

、、、

Sima Hui was sitting upright reading at this time, listening to the discussion of the students, he just smiled slightly, not impressed.

In his opinion, everyone has their own personality and characteristics, so he has always liked to use a free-range way of teaching, in addition to having strict requirements for students in terms of learning, but never to correct the students' political views, some of the students' ideas, he never interfered, but encouraged students to speak freely.

But despite this, when thinking of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Sima Hui couldn't help but sigh slightly, these two most outstanding students were actually served by others, and they took refuge in Lu Xuantong, who occupied Jingyang and Yangzhou, nor Yuan Shao, who was the most powerful, nor Cao Cao in the Central Plains, but Liu Bei, who had nothing.

I have to say that after hearing the news, Sima Hui, who has always been detached, sweated a little for the two of them, did they gamble too much, so can Liu Bei really have a brilliant day in the future?

However, things have happened, Sima Hui has no other regrets except for some occasional sighs, after all, everyone has different choices, no matter what they choose, as long as they are out of his academy, then he can't care and doesn't want to care, after all, he is just a semi-hermit.

"Kong Ming, Shi Yuan, and Shan Fu, although you no longer have anything to do with me after you leave this courtyard, the teacher still hopes that you can establish a career under the command of the Ming Lord in your heart!" Thinking of this, Sima Hui secretly said in his heart.

Maybe other students only noticed Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong before, but as the teacher, he also paid attention to Shan Fu, who has always been low-key, and even knew that the other party was also a talented and intelligent person, otherwise he would not have accepted Shan Fu, whose identity and origin were unknown, as a registered disciple.

"Teacher, there is a man named Xu Shu outside who came to visit with a gift!" At this moment, the doorman who was guarding the door ran in and said respectfully.

"Xu Shu? Wasn't that the strategist who gave him a plan to attack the heart when Lu Xuantong attacked Xiangyang this time? ”

"Yes, it is said that when this person just took refuge in Lu Xuantong, he was named the marching Sima by Lu Xuantong, and after making suggestions, Lu Xuantong promoted him to the governor of Jingzhou, which is very important!"

"This Xu Yuanzhi is one step to the sky!"

Sima Hui hasn't spoken yet, but the students below have started to discuss, with Lu Xuantong's bloodless capture of Xiangyang, the name of Xu Shu who offered him advice was also known to the world for a while, to a certain extent, these students still have a trace of envy for Xu Shu, after all, there are really not many people who can be so reused by the lord in less than a few months.

"Did he say what he was here for?" Compared with the students, Sima Hui seemed quite calm, and just asked softly.

"No, I just said that I came to visit my teacher, and my attitude was quite respectful!" The doorman said, and added, "By the way, he also asked me if I was a new registered disciple accepted by my teacher?" Otherwise, you wouldn't know him, teacher, what does he mean by that? ”

"Oh? I see, you let him in! Sima Hui listened, but he didn't answer Xiao Tong, but his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he spoke.

"Oh!" The doorman answered, and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Not long after, Xu Shu followed the doorman into the courtyard, out of curiosity about this recently famous figure, all the students looked over for the first time, and then they were indeed collectively a little dumbfounded, and many people were surprised that even their chins were opened, which seemed very funny.

"Student Xu Shu, meet your teacher!" After Xu Shu walked into the courtyard, he didn't wait for others to speak, so he took the initiative to kneel down and bow to Sima Hui, and said respectfully.

"Xu Shu? Shan Fu? Which is your real name? Sima Hui's face was still calm, and he asked softly.

"Back to the teacher, the student's real name is Xu Shu, the character is straight, but because he killed someone in his hometown back then, he was chased by the fugitive government, so he kept turning into a single blessing until the teacher took him in, and he didn't intend to deceive the teacher!" Xu Shu knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"You left me some time ago, just to join Lu Xuantong? And offered him a strategy to attack Xiangyang? Sima Hui asked again.

"Yes, the students have always admired General Lu's sacred heart and benevolence, and when General Lu went to Jingzhou, they wanted to contribute a little bit to him!" Xu Shu said.

"Get up, you've been hiding from me for so many years!" Sima Hui nodded at this time and said with a little smile.

"Learning, students are ashamed of their teachers!" When Sima Hui said this, Xu Shu felt a little embarrassed, and he stammered and didn't know what to say, but he knew that Sima Hui had always been detached and generous, and now this expression means that he won't care about this matter.

At this time, after the students in the courtyard saw that the two had met the ceremony, they surrounded Xu Shu one after another, and they were very enthusiastic.

"Shan Fu, is it really you? Well, it should be called Yuan Zhi now! ”

"In vain we have been classmates for many years, Shan Fu is actually a pseudonym!"

"Yuan Zhi is also not inferior to Kong Ming and Shi Yuan's talents in the world, and he is so deeply hidden!"

"Xiangyang City's strategy to attack the heart was actually offered by you, which is really beyond my expectations."

The students are talking about each other, but they praise Xu Shu for a while, and the attitude of almost ignoring him when they studied in the academy together is completely two extremes.

"All the senior brothers have won the award, and they are only shallow in their learning, but they are only thanks to the lord who does not give up, so now they have a small name, they have deceived all the senior brothers before, and now they are making amends to the senior brothers!" Xu Shu is also quite humble.

Different from the respect for Sima Hui, Xu Shu's humility, although it seems very polite, but there is a slight sense of rustiness, after all, Sima Hui has the grace of reinvention for him, and he is grateful in his heart, but these students, although they have been classmates for many years, but their attitude towards him, don't talk about it.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Everyone hurriedly waved their hands and asked, "Yuan Zhi, General Lu is now reusing you as the governor of Jingzhou, do you know what General Lu's plans are now?" ”

The so-called people in the court are easy to do, most of these students are natives of Jingzhou, and most of them are from families, so they are naturally very interested in Lu An's series of actions, but Lu An is too high for them to climb, and now Xu Shu, the same brother who was entrusted with important tasks by Lu An, has appeared, which makes them have unexpected joy. After all, if they eat in Jingzhou in the future, then having such a senior brother to help them on the side will be a big boost for their future.

"There is no big plan for the time being, the lord just said that the new policy will be fully rolled out in Jingzhou, based on the people, and justice shall prevail, whether it is a commoner or a wealthy family, it is among the people, as long as it does not violate the new policy, he will treat everyone equally in the law, he just wants to try his best to develop Jingzhou more prosperous!" Xu Shu replied.

He knows why these students are so enthusiastic about him, but he doesn't have any disdain for this, it is human nature to meet him, and it does not represent a person's quality, in fact, Sima Hui's teaching is also more interested in character, although these students may sometimes seem a little philistine, but they are at least gentlemen, with their own moral integrity.

"What a people-oriented, justice-oriented, General Lu is really a righteous person!"

"General Lu is really benevolent!"

"In the past, we listened to the lies outside, but now that I think about it, General Lu is definitely not the person the world rumores!"

Listening to some of the exclamations of the students, Xu Shu couldn't help but secretly laugh, before the lord entered Jingzhou, these students were still scolding the lord one by one for all kinds of behavior, and now the lord has come in, but they have changed their words one by one, obviously the world is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, the strong and powerful, the people are like this, the businessmen are like this, and even these scholars with extraordinary knowledge are also like this.
