Liu Xiu hurriedly got up to greet him, arched his hand to the young man in front of him who was handsome and looked a little thin, and said politely: "Dare to ask what the feet are?" ”

"Taiyuan Wenhui." Wen Hui returned the salute, arched his hand to Liu Bei again, and slowly entered the door, with one hand behind his back and the other on his chest, with a shallow smile on his face: "My father is the Taishou of Zhuo County, and he lives in Zhuo County with his father, and he has several connections with Yide, so I was fortunate to receive an invitation from Yide." ”

Liu Xiu and Liu Bei suddenly realized, glanced at each other, and smiled in unison. Liu Xiu didn't care too much, but Liu Bei was a little restrained, and bowed again: "It turned out to be Xiao Langjun of the Taishou Mansion, who has heard of the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." ”

Liu Xiu touched his nose and said in his heart Liu Bei respects him, is it because this kid is famous, or is it because his father is too guarded? And although this Wen Hui is the same age as Liu Bei, and his stature is not as strong as Liu Bei, he is calm, but he has a bit of the demeanor of a child, and he does not have the face of the second generation of officials who fought for his father on the street in his previous life.

"I received the news from Brother Yide, saying that there was a personal disciple of Lu Jun in the house, and Hui was very curious, so he rushed to meet Zun Yan. Before seeing the face of the king, he heard the voice of the king first, and he could change it if he knew his mistakes, but he was also a downright person, no wonder Yide was willing to be close to his feet. Wen Hui looked Liu Xiu up and down, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Don't dare to hide it, I don't approve of a war with the Hu people." ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and his heart turned out to be an opposing debater, but this person was also very open, and he made his position clear as soon as he came up, and he didn't hide it at all.

"Dare to ask."

Wen Hui blinked, revealing for a moment the childishness that he should have at his age, but he quickly regained his demeanor as a little celebrity. He twisted his fingers: "Dare to ask Brother Liu, what kind of battles do you need to defeat the Hu people?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer him immediately, but thought about it very seriously, Liu Bei wanted to speak, but when he saw Liu Xiu's cautious appearance, he didn't dare to squeak.

Liu Xiu paused for about a dozen breaths before he said slowly: "The soldiers are good enough to eat, plus good generals." ”

Wen Hui raised his eyebrows, revealing an appreciative smile: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away." Brother Liu, what do you think this Zhuo County has? ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but open his voice: "Youyan has always been a place for elite soldiers, how can it be said that there is not a single condition?" ”

Wen Hui turned his head to look at him and smiled: "Have you seen the legend of the Marquis of Huaiyin?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head ashamedly, and said unconvinced: "This is a truth that everyone in the world knows, why do you need to look at the legend of the Marquis of Huaiyin to know." ”

Wen Hui smiled: "Yes, you don't need to look at the legend of the Marquis of Huaiyin to know this truth, but if you have seen the biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin, then naturally you will not have such an opinion." He paused, turned his head and asked Liu Xiudao: "This brother is not wrong, Youyan has always been a place for elite soldiers, when Emperor Guangwu chased the world, it was started by Yuyang Tuqi, but, do you know who Yuyang Tuqi is?" ”

Liu Xiu asked a little playfully: "Hu people? ”

"Exactly." The corners of Wen Hui's mouth twitched, and he asked again: "Then do you know why the Hu people are willing to become the main force of Emperor Guangwu in the Central Plains?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled. He understood what Wen Hui meant, Youyan sent elite soldiers, mainly because there were Hu people as the main force of the assault cavalry, and the Hu people were willing to fight for the Han people because the Han people gave them benefits, in other words, it was the role of appeasement. This is the reason why Liu Yu and others are reluctant to take the initiative to fight with the Hu people, otherwise once the Hu people turn their faces, the main force of Youyan's elite soldiers, Yuyang Raid, will become a war knife that cuts at Youyan himself.

Wen Hui saw that Liu Xiu was just smiling, but he didn't speak, and he didn't care, and then said: "After talking about the soldiers, let's talk about food." Youzhou is located in the frontier, and the grain output cannot make ends meet, and every year it has to transfer hundreds of millions of grain from the two states of Qinghai and Hebei to barely support it. The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, do you know how much money is needed to support a war? Do you know why Xiqiang has become the heart disease of the Han Dynasty, and why there are many discussions about abandoning Liangzhou in the court? It's simple, because you can't afford to fight. ”

"That section of Taiwei rampant in Dongqiang is wrong?" Liu Bei's face sank, very unhappy.

"Duan Cheng?" Wen Hui sneered: "He has made meritorious contributions, but is Qiang chaotic and peaceful?" Is West Liang flat? ”

Liu Bei was speechless.

"Duan Cheng sent troops for two years, spent many years of savings of the Han Dynasty, and fought for Emperor Xiaohuan, but Dasi Nong was empty-handed, these years of natural disasters have continued, the river is overflowing, Shandong is flooding, and the court can't even take out the money and food for relief, at this time, even Duan Cheng probably doesn't dare to mention the matter of war. Because, he will definitely not win. ”

Wen Hui talked eloquently.

Liu Xiu frowned and was silent, he felt that although what Wen Hui said was a little harsh, it must not be made up out of thin air, could it be that the big man was already so poor that he couldn't even afford to fight?

"Even if you make sense, that Taiwei is also a famous general, right?" Liu Bei said strongly. Although he also felt that what Wen Hui said might be the truth, he was very unaccustomed to Wen Hui's appearance, so he had to find a reason to refute him. Even if you really don't have the conditions to start a war with the Hu people now, you can't help but admit that Duan Gong is a famous general, right? As long as you admit this, then it is wrong to say that you do not meet one condition.

Wen Hui glanced at Liu Bei with some sarcasm, quite disdainful of his strong rhetoric, and could hear from Liu Bei's words that Liu Bei should have admired Duan Cheng very much, but Wen Hui really didn't have a good impression of Duan Cheng, so he didn't mind saying a few more words and completely defeating Liu Bei.

"Duan Cheng has served as the captain of Liaodong's vassal state, what other achievements does he have besides making meritorious contributions by fraud? Okay, even if you say that he ran rampant in Dongqiang and made great achievements, then do you know that he was punished for losing the battle? Wen Hui smiled disdainfully: "He's just a fierce general, a famous general, I'm afraid he can't talk about it, not to mention that even such a person can't be found in Youzhou now." The Duan Taiwei you admire, now he is bent on flattering and erratizing, and he will not come back to Youzhou to be stubborn. ”

He turned around: "Is there a famous general in Youzhou now?" ”

Liu Bei completely turned off the fire, and he couldn't answer Wen Hui's question. There are indeed no famous generals in Youzhou now, and even the Duan Cheng he said is also from Liangzhou and has nothing to do with Youzhou. It's a shame to say that Youzhou seems to have not had a famous general for many years. Now when it comes to famous generals, most of them are from Kansai, Kanto is a minister, and Kansai is a general, but it has nothing to do with Youzhou.

Wen Hui no longer paid attention to the dejected Liu Bei, turned his head and looked at the silent Liu Xiu for a long time, with a reserved smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know what else Brother Liu has high opinions, you might as well say it, and let me have a long insight." ”

Liu Xiu looked at Wen Hui and suddenly smiled.
