After Liu He met Gao Shun, he understood why Gao Shun would not surrender after Cao Cao killed Lu Bu in history. It is estimated that Lao Cao thought that killing Lu Bu should be enough to deter Chen Gong and Gao Shun and others, but in the end, he succeeded in arousing Gao Shun's unyielding will to die, but he missed talents.

From Liu He's grasp of the situation and his close observation of Gao Shun, it was found that this person does have a stubborn and stubborn backbone, to describe it in a not very nice word, I am "holding and not going backwards", treating such a person, it is difficult to say that there is nowhere to speak, and it is a matter of a few words to say simple.

Since Gao Shun is foolish and loyal to Lu Bu, then make a fuss from Lu Bu, first let Gao Shun question Lu Bu in his heart, see Lu Bu's unsympathetic nature, and then use profit to induce Lu Bu to write a letter to Gao Shun to dissolve the relationship between the subordinates, so that Gao Shun will feel that Lu Bu abandoned him, not that he betrayed Lu Bu. As long as Gao Shun passes this hurdle in his heart, then the next thing will be a matter of course.

In fact, when Liu He recruited Zhao Yun, he had already used these methods. It is nothing more than moving with affection, knowing with reason, and then directly finding the main owner of the general you want to recruit, and exchanging some benefits and benefits, in the case of your willingness, the generals who have been exchanged in this way guarantee that they have no two hearts, are loyal and obedient to Liu He, and follow willingly.

To summarize simply, digging up people's walls is divided into three steps: moving with affection, knowing with reason, and luring with profit. But what makes Liu He different is that in the last step, that is, when he tempted him to profit, he did not use heavy profits to tempt the generals he wanted to recruit, but put heavy profits on the masters of these generals. Because he thinks that all the generals he likes are not the kind of villains who are mercenary, but the masters of these people, and they attach great importance to their interests one by one. If he met a master who knew people and was good at work, Liu He would not have bothered that effort at all, when did you think about Cao Cao's generals?

Liu He employs people, and the first thing he likes is the word loyalty. In this era of war and chaos, what I am most afraid of is the rebellion of the generals under him, and sometimes because of the rebellion of one general, it is very likely to lead to the reversal of the whole situation. The generals under Liu He who were reused were basically selected and cultivated by him personally, and those like Gao Shun who might be absorbed halfway were basically rare.

After Liu He met Gao Shun, he was in a very happy mood, and he sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Yun in Hanoi, asking Zhao Yun to seize the time to coerce and lure Lu Bu. Get Lu Bu's handwritten letter of voluntarily giving up Gao Shun as soon as possible. Liu He had already thought about it, the Zhenyong Battalion, which had just formed the army, just lacked a deputy general in charge of training, so he transferred Gao Shun as soon as possible, maybe he could catch up with the next Guandu battle.

However, it is said that when Liu He was thinking about it in Yecheng, Taifu Liu Yu's southward team left Youzhou in a mighty way, and on this day came to a place called Wuji in Zhongshan County, Jizhou, and set up camp to rest.

When the people in Wuji County heard that Mrs. Liu was going to leave the north for the capital Luoyang, they immediately took out wine and meat to see him off, and Liu Yu didn't want to disturb the people so much. But his prestige in the north was too high, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate could not stop the enthusiastic local people. In desperation, Liu Yu allowed the people to elect some representatives to enter the camp to meet him, and this was the result. And one more story came out.

Those who can be elected by the local people to meet Taifu Liu Yu are naturally some of the most famous people in the county, among which is a representative of a scholar named Zhen Yan. The Zhen family belongs to a famous family in Wuji, and Zhen Yan's ancestor Zhen Han once held a high position like Taibao. And the descendants of the Zhen family also inherited the official position of 2,000 Shi Yulu because of this. Zhen Yan's father's name was Zhen Yi, who once served as the commander of Shangcai County, and later died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Zhen family avoided the disaster in the township and no longer went out.

Zhen Yan is the second oldest in the family, and there was an elder brother above him, but he died young, so he is actually the eldest man in the family. Zhen's family history, so although Zhen Yan has never been an official, he has a bit of the style of a superior person in his gestures, and this time the people sent Liu Yu across the border, which Zhen Yan did after receiving the news. Zhen Yan felt that the north had been calmed down, and the situation in the world would get better and better in the future, so he had the intention of becoming an official, so he wanted to take the opportunity to show it in front of Liu Yu, so as to pave the way for going to Luoyang to ask Liu Yu for an official in the future.

After the guards brought several elected representatives of the people into Liu Yu's tent, Liu Yu asked everyone with a smile about the situation in Wuji County, the grain harvest in recent years, and whether there were corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the territory who oppressed the good.

Before Liu Yu met, the young man had a good appearance and good manners, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for talent, so he asked: "Which family is this descendant of Wuji County?" Have you ever cited filial piety? ”

Zhen Yan saw Liu Yu asking, and his heart was excited, so he replied calmly: "If you go back to Taifu, the student is a child of the Zhen family, and his father Zhen Yuting once served as Shang Cai Ling. The student had been promoted by the county as filial piety the year before last, and had not yet become an official. ”

Liu Yu originally just asked politely, but when he heard Zhen Yan say that his father had done Shang Cai Ling, he suddenly remembered something.

When he forced his son to get married, Liu He once mentioned to him that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Tang family in Yingchuan, or the daughter of the Zhen family in Yecheng. It turned out that Liu He took a fancy to the two women, one was Tang Ji, who was once the imperial concubine, and the other was the youngest daughter of Shangcai Ling Zhen Yi who was less than nine years old.

Now that eight years have passed, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family has grown to seventeen years old, and I don't know if she is married?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu asked again, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" ”

Zhen Yan replied truthfully: "There is a brother, a brother, and five younger sisters. ”

"Have your sisters ever married?"

Zhen Yan was a little dizzy by Liu Yu's question, and he thought to himself: Could it be that this old man still wants to take a concubine? Falling in love with my unusual sister?

Although Zhen Yan muttered in his heart, he knew that the affairs of the family could not be hidden, because there were several other people standing beside him who knew the Zhen family, if Liu Yu really wanted his sister, he only needed to send someone to inquire, and he could ask anything clearly. For the sake of the Zhen family, and for her own future, Zhen Yan replied stubbornly: "The youngest girl in my family is not married yet, half a year ago, someone in Yecheng came to the door, saying that he wanted to propose marriage for the second son of the Yuan family, but then there was no news. ”

Liu Yu was very happy in his heart, knowing that this time it was because Tai Shici suddenly captured Yecheng, and as a result, the Yuan family did not have time to marry Zhen Mi into the door. Tai Shici is the favorite general of his son Liu He, because of him, he has disturbed the family affairs between Yuan Jun and the Zhen family, it seems that God thinks that he should let his son marry the daughter of the Zhen family!

Liu Yu was worried about the long nights and dreams, so he immediately said to Zhen Yan: "My son Liu He, this year is one year old and will turn thirty, he once told me that he was willing to marry your little sister as his wife, and now after eight years, the old things are brought up again, I don't know if you are willing to agree to this marriage?" ”

Zhen Yan was hit in the head by the sudden happiness, and before he could react to who Liu He was, a few villagers next to him were pulling his clothes vigorously, but they said it loudly.

"The second child of the Zhen family, hurry up and agree! Your little sister will soon be the wife of the hussar general! ”

"It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, your Zhen family is now your master, as long as you nod, your sister will fly up the high branch and become a phoenix!"

The reason why the few people next to them were so excited was because they knew that if the daughter of the Zhen family was allowed to marry Liu He, the entire Wuji County would follow in the future. Liu He has become a hussar general before he is established this year, and it is almost a sure thing to take over Liu Yu's position as a master in the future, although Zhen Mi is not a wife when she marries into the Liu family, but it is also unspeakably expensive.

In order to promote this marriage, several representatives of the Wuji villagers in the tent began to tell some interesting stories about Zhen Mi since she was born, and Liu Yu did not stop them, but listened to them with relish.

It is said that after the birth of the Zhen family's children, every night when they went to bed, the family seemed to see someone covering her with jade clothes, and everyone was very strange about this. When she was three years old, Zhen Yi died, Zhen Mi cried very sadly, and the people around her felt that she had filial piety, so they valued her even more. Later, Liu Liang, a scholar, looked at Zhen Mi and Zhen Yi's other children, Liu Liang pointed at Zhen Mi and said, "This girl is unspeakably expensive." Therefore, from Zhen Mi to adulthood, no one dared to tease her. When Zhen Mi was eight years old, there were acrobats outside the courtyard, and Zhen's family and several sisters went to the attic to watch, but she didn't go. Several sisters asked her strangely, and Zhen Mi replied, "Are these things that women should watch?" ”

Zhen Mi likes to read very much, when she was nine years old, she immediately knew the meaning of the words she read, she used her brother's pen and inkstone many times to write, and her brother said to her: "You should learn female workers." Do you want to be a female doctor? Zhen replied: "I heard that in ancient times, virtuous women all learned from the experience of their predecessors and used them for reference. If you don't read, what can you learn from? ”

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the people sold their valuable things in order to make ends meet. At that time, the Zhen family had a large amount of grain reserves, so they took the opportunity to acquire a lot of gold and silver treasures. After Zhen Mi saw this situation, she said to her mother: "Seeking treasure in troubled times is not a good strategy!" A person who is not guilty of a treasure can be condemned for possession of a treasure, which is commonly referred to as loss of wealth. Besides, at the moment when many people are hungry, it is better to open a warehouse of my family's grain to help the neighbors in all directions, which can be regarded as a virtue that benefits everyone. The whole family thought she was right, so they distributed all the food to the neighbors free of charge. (To be continued......)
