Since Pang Shanmin recommended Lu Xun as Sima Hui's apprentice, Mr. Shui Jing was very satisfied with Lu Xun's understanding, and wanted to pass on his mantle and teach day and night, Lu Xun was also competitive, but in a few months, his talent and name were widely spread in Jingnan, and there were many families who wanted to marry him, which showed that Jingxiang officialdom was optimistic about Lu Xun's future development.

Pang Shanmin wanted to order his subordinates to summon Lu Xun to come to discuss the matter, but he remembered that he hadn't been to see Mr. Shuijing for a while, thinking of this, Pang Shanmin said to Zhuge Liang: "Today, you and I are free, Kong Ming is willing to go to Mr. Shuijing with his brother?" ”

"Liang is willing to go." Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this: "The government affairs are complicated, I haven't seen Mr. Decao for a long time, and I miss it very much in my heart!" ”

The two left the bamboo house, stepped on the fast horse, and when they didn't travel much, they came to the front of Sima Hui's grass house, after entering the grass house, the two saw Lu Xun holding a scroll in the hall, studying it carefully, looking at each other and smiling, Pang Shanmin coughed lightly, and when Lu Xun looked sideways, Pang Shanmin smiled and said: "It's disturbing Bo Yan's purity, Pang Mou took the liberty to come, I don't know if Mr. Shui Jing is there?" ”

"Xun will go to the inner room and pass the family heirloom." Lu Xun put down the scroll, smiled at Pang Shanmin, and said: "I haven't had a chance before, thank you for the general's recommendation, see you today, thank you." ”

"Pang also has selfish intentions, for the sake of my future." Pang Shanmin waved his hand and smiled at Lu Xun: "Since Mr. Shuijing is resting, Boyan doesn't have to be passed on. ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said to Pang Shanmin: "The general and Mr. Kong Ming came together, could it be for the battle of Runan this autumn?" ”

"Bo Yan is talented, and he is really agile." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and praised it, Pang Shanmin also smiled when he heard this, and said to Lu Xun: "I also ask Boyan to come out of the mountain to help." ”

Pang Shanmin said, he will discuss the matter with Guo Jia, all kinds of things to Lu Xun, Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Liang's design, so that Lu Xun's eyes lit up, admiration, Pang Shanmin said later, Lu Xun also understood that Pang Shanmin wanted to point him to take charge of the Runan military, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

From Jiangdong to Jingxiang, away from his homeland for a long time, Lu Xun did not take Pang Shanmin's promise to heart before, Jingxiang is now full of talents, in the academy, it is Liu Cong, Liu Qi and others, and now they are also dedicated to learning, entering the court as an official, Lu Xun was originally satisfied with being able to learn from Sima Hui and learn the art of war, but now Pang Shanmin mentioned that Lu Xun was in charge of Jingxiang's military horses, and the people in the army were all young and strong, Lu Xun is not difficult to see that in addition to sticking to Runan, Pang Shanmin also has other considerations, that is, to make Lu Xun establish a reputation before Major General Jingxiang, Pang Shanmin acted in this way, apparently remembering the promise he had made earlier.

After Pang Shanmin said it, Lu Xun didn't say anything for a long time, Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Liang, seeing Lu Xun thinking, didn't bother, after a long time, Lu Xun raised his head, his eyes lit up and said: "If the family teacher allows Lu to go on the expedition, Lu will not refuse!" ”

"Such a good thing, it should be done early!" Sima Hui's hearty laughter came from the room, obviously Pang Shanmin's words were all listened to by him, Pang Shanmin couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said to Sima Hui who leaned out the door: "When did the teacher learn this ability to listen to the root of the wall?" The ancients often said that the wall has ears, and honesty does not deceive me! ”

Hearing Pang Shanmin's ridicule, Sima Hui was not angry, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The old man's ability has been learned by Boyan, he only owes the experience of governing the army on the soldiers and horses, this son is smart, different from ordinary people, the old man has this good apprentice, there is no regret, and now the mountain people are using soldiers, Boyan can be of great use!" ”

Lu Xun heard Sima Hui's naked praise in front of him, his cheeks were slightly red, and he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him: "I don't deserve such praise from the teacher." ”

Seeing that Lu Xun was shy, everyone laughed, and after laughing, Zhuge Liang said to Lu Xun: "I saw Boyan thinking for a long time before, if Boyan is in charge of the army, what should be done to balance Cao Cao?" ”

Zhuge Liang's words have the meaning of teaching and testing, Lu Xun glanced at Zhuge Liang, and he also admired this senior brother very much in his heart, Pang Shanmin can sweep down Xichuan, this Zhuge Liang should be the first to take the lead, and Zhuge Liang's age is not much older than Lu Xun.

However, Lu Xun did not know at all that Zhuge Liang was now cowardly in Jingxiang's prestige, and organized some words a little, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "If Lu is in charge of the military of Runan, he should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. ”

"What is loose on the outside and tight on the inside?" Although Zhuge Liang is talented, he is not a roundworm in Lu Xun's belly, different commanders have very different ways of using soldiers, Zhuge Liang wants to see what Lu Xun can do to protect Runan.

"Previously, the general had a secret discussion with Guo Jia, after entering Runan City, Cao Ying's army and horses would go to recover Chang'an and attack Hebei, and the general and Guo Saijiu were just secret discussions, if Cao Cao repented and suddenly attacked, it was also very possible."

"The outer looseness refers to the fact that after Lu took charge of Runan, he had to make a posture of being young and arrogant and not leading the troops, firstly, he could make Cao Ying's generals, when facing Lu, he would be arrogant, and secondly, to verify whether Cao Cao intends to fulfill his promise to connect with the general, in this matter, Lu still has some selfishness, that is, once Cao Cao is treacherous, Lu should give him a head-on blow!"

"And the internal tightness, because Cao Cao is the general horse transferred out of Runan, the city must have done a lot, the reason for Guo Jiaken's discussion with the general this time is that Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is difficult to prevent my Jingxiang army and horses from attacking with the princes, so he will offer the city, so that the general can get half of his county land, but his heart must be unwilling, when Cao Cao calms down the chaos around him, there will inevitably be the idea of retaking Runan, so Lu first wants to let Cao Cao's previous business, all of which become useless!"

"After that, the army and horses will be rectified, and the pass will be strictly guarded, so as to wait for Cao Cao to raise troops in a big way, I can hold on to Runan for a few months, and I will have these months for the general to strategize, Jingxiang has his own military horses, to relieve the siege of Runan, in Lu's view, the best way to solve the matter of Runan is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault!"

Lu Xun gushed endlessly, just a word, Zhuge Liang and Pang Shanmin nodded again and again, although Zhuge Liang also had confidence in Lu Xun, he was just worried that Lu Xun was young and not calm enough, but now looking at it, Lu Xun acted quite prudently, and the young and strong in the army yearned for the battlefield and made meritorious contributions.

Pang Shanmin saw that Zhuge Liang's face was full of joy and sincerity, and couldn't help laughing: "Kong Ming, Pang Mou said before I came, our little junior brother is not ordinary people, and now Kong Ming is in his heart, can he be convinced?" ”

"Brother knows people, and Liang has learned!" Zhuge Liang said and said to Lu Xun: "In charge of Runan, Boyan should not let go!" Now Liang has seen Bo Yan's talent, and with Bo Yan, he will definitely be able to make Cao Cao's military horses not advance an inch in Runan! ”
