On the road leading from Anshi to Xinchang, passers-by were in a hurry, and if it weren't for the officers and soldiers going back and forth on both sides of the road to guide and inspect, I am afraid that it would be a chaotic scene of 10,000 people fleeing.

Since then, people from the south have been using various words to describe the ferocity and greed of the Goguryeo people, so that the people who have never seen the Goguryeo barbarians have also changed their colors and have been dragged to the north together.

However, it is strange that there is a mountain village near the official road that is very quiet, and there has been no panic these days, and the people in the village still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, as if they have no idea that the Goguryeo people in Ludao have called.

The people living in this village were all refugees from the south after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so their surnames are complicated, and they are not the local Han natives in Liaodong. Behind this village, close to the mountain forest, close to the cliff wall, there is a dilapidated temple dedicated to the mountain god, I don't know when it was built, but it has also been maintained in this troubled time, and from time to time people come to offer incense.

About ten years ago, a scribe in his thirties brought his family to this village that was about to be forgotten, and then built a few thatched huts next to a small temple, and lived there. The people in the village only knew that the scribe of Lu Dao claimed to be surnamed Yuan, and that he was a scholar who had fled from Qingzhou, and because the scribe surnamed Yuan was knowledgeable, the villagers came together to ask him to teach the children in the village. The scribe surnamed Yuan treated people modestly, did not refuse the request of the villagers, and since then he has opened an altar in the mountain temple to teach, and the lectures are all the laws of the saints, the way of etiquette and righteousness, and they are so simple that even adults who can't read big characters can understand it.

The people in the village saw that Mr. Yuan was a great Confucian who lived in seclusion, and they were worried that Gongsun Du in Xiangping City would send people to embarrass Mr. Yuan, because in the past few years, there was news that Gongsun Du had used some tough measures to deal with scholars, so these people automatically built their houses around Mr. Yuan's house layer by layer, until the Yuan family's house and mountain temple were all covered in the deepest part of the village. Mr. Yuan saw this kindness of the villagers in his eyes. In his heart, he never went out, but just stayed in the village to teach children, or wrote behind closed doors, and he was safe and quiet over the years, and lived a peaceful life.

On this morning, more than a dozen older children came to the temple on time to sit down and wait for Mr. Yuan to come to teach. The man of the Tian family is twelve years old this year, with a long tiger head and a tiger brain, and he secretly heard his parents' conversation after he fell asleep last night. I heard that many Goguryeo barbarians who burned, killed and looted came from the south, and today they boasted to their friends like offering treasures.

"Have you heard? Those Goguryeo people were all blue-faced and fanged, wearing tiger skins and bear skins, and holding long spears in their hands, as long as they saw them, they would be eaten, which was terrifying! ”

"Tian Dabao, you are talking nonsense! I also heard my father say that although the Goguryeo barbarians are cruel. But it doesn't eat people, it just loots and kills. There are many officers and soldiers guarding Anshi now, and Goguryeo can't come at all! ”

"Zhao Xiaosi, you're talking nonsense. In the words taught to us by Mr., the Goguryeo barbarians are still wild people who drink blood from Ru Mao, and they eat everything when they are hungry, so they will also eat us Han people as meat! ”

Just when the friends are fighting for each other. Mr. Yuan walked in with a solemn face, and the controversy in the ruined temple suddenly came to an abrupt end.

"Do you remember those phrases I taught you yesterday?"

"Back to Mr. Hui's words. We all remembered. ”

"Well, then you can recite it together, it's still the old rule, whoever doesn't open his mouth, who doesn't have a voice, is indiscriminate, and he needs to step forward to receive the ring ruler five times!"

The children recited in unison, their voices were subdued, and they shook their heads from time to time, but they all remembered that none of them were cheating and playing tricks.

"Okay, that's it for the review. Today, I'm going to teach you a new phrase. Zi said: 'From, the girl knows! Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. This sentence is translated in our current words, which means: Zilu, tell you your attitude towards the knowing and the ignorance! Knowing the Tao is knowing the Dao, and not knowing the Tao is not knowing the Dao, and this is the true wisdom. This sentence tells us about the attitude towards the unknown......"

After Mr. Yuan finished speaking on a scripture, he paused, looked at the children, and said, "Now it's time to ask questions, if any of you have questions, you can ask me." ”

Tian Dabao immediately stood up, and then said, "Sir, the student wants to ask whether the Goguryeo people can eat people?" ”

How can people eat people!

It seemed to be just a very simple and naïve question, but it made Mr. Yuan's expression solemn.

After a long time, Mr. Yuan told the children with some heaviness: "When people don't have anything to eat, not only the Goguryeo people will eat people, but the Han people will also eat people." During the time of Emperor Ling, there was a great drought in the Central Plains, because the people had nothing to eat, so it was rumored that "Hanoi women eat husbands, Henan people eat women" such a terrifying thing that rebels against the human road. ”

The children were frightened by the gentleman's words, and their eyes widened with horror, and they really couldn't imagine the terrible scene of people eating people.

"Sir, there have been rumors outside the world recently that the Goguryeo people have been killed from the south, will we be eaten by them?" Zhao Xiaosiqiang endured the fear in his heart and asked the questions that the children wanted to ask.

Mr. Yuan didn't know how to answer this question to the children, and frowned in thought. At this moment, Zhao Dabao's father ran in with a look of urgency, and shouted to Mr. Yuan: "Mr. Yuan, something is wrong, a team of officers and soldiers came to the entrance of the village, surrounded the village, and the leader who took the lead asked us to ask you to come out and speak!" ”

When the children heard this, they immediately exploded. "I'm going with my husband!"

"I'm going too!"

"You all stay in the temple and endorse well, whoever dares to run around, I won't recognize him as my student!" Mr. Yuan's voice was not high, but it was full of majesty.

Not long after, Mr. Yuan came to the entrance of the village surrounded by a group of villagers.

The leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the village saw a scribe coming out of the village, and knew that this person was exactly what General Xian Yu wanted to invite, so he respectfully saluted Mr. Yuan, and then said loudly: "I am entrusted by General Du Liao, and I have come to invite Mr. Zini to come out of the mountain!" ”

"General Duliao? But Xian Yu Minghui sent you here? ”

"Mr. Hui's words, Xian Yu Minghui is the name of my general."

"Hehe, I have been incognito here for ten years, but I was still discovered."

Mr. Yuan said with some self-deprecation.

"Mr. Zini, I am entrusted by the general to present a letter from Kang Chenggong of Beihai!" As he spoke, the leader of the officers and soldiers took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Mr. Yuan with both hands.

When Mr. Yuan heard this, his face showed excitement, his hands trembled a little and he took the letter, and muttered to himself: "The teacher still remembers me, an unsuccessful student......"

Beihai Kangcheng Gong, whose real name is Zheng Xuan, is called Kangcheng. And this Mr. Yuan, who has been incognito in Liaodong for many years, is Zheng Xuan's high feet, a native of Qingzhou.

"Yuan" is also "Yuan".

Shi Zai Guoyuan was indistinguishable from Zheng Xuan in Qingzhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then avoided the trouble of Liaodong, often lecturing in the mountains and rocks. Guo Yuan in another time and space, is the famous Minister of the Interior of the Wei State, the achievements of his life are comparable to Zao Yi and Yuan Jian and other doers, when the initial subordination to the Cao regime, mainly responsible for the affairs of Tuntian, during the term of office, "repeatedly old profits and losses, the land and the people, the people put officials, and the law of homework", so that "in five years, the warehouse is abundant, and the people compete to persuade and work". When Cao Cao conquered Guanzhong, Guo Yuan, as the chief of the general's mansion, commanded many affairs in the rear, which is enough to prove how strong his ability and talent are.

For Guoyuan, his teacher Zheng Xuan once commented: "Guozi Ni, beautiful talent, I look at his people, and he will be a national weapon." This is a high evaluation, after all, people who can be worthy of the praise of "national weapons" always need to be outstanding.

After Zheng Xuan went north to Jicheng, Liu He sent someone to secretly sneak to Liaodong to find out Guoyuan's whereabouts, but because he was afraid of arousing Gongsun Du's vigilance and persecution, he never contacted Guoyuan. This time the Liao army was divided into two ways, approaching Xiangping, Xian Yuyin when he first arrived in Xinchang, he took over the famous soldier Bing Yuan in the Liao team city, but he was still controlled by Gongsun Du Wang Lie and Guan Ning, if it were not for Guoyuan's hiding place near Anshi south of Xinchang, Gongsun Du's soldiers had been intercepted by the Liao army, I was afraid that Guoyuan would also be caught by Gongsun Du in Xiangping City as a hostage.

Xian Yuyin was not in a hurry to alarm Guoyuan at first, what he wanted was to wait for him to take Xiangping, rescue Wang Lie and Guan Ning, and then solemnly ask Guoyuan to come out of the mountain, and let Wang Lie, Bingyuan, Guan Ning, and Guoyuan, the four famous people, assist him in governing the counties of Liaodong, but because the Goguryeo people who suddenly appeared, in order to ensure the safety of Guoyuan, they temporarily changed their minds, so they sent someone to hold Zheng Xuan's letter to ask Guoyuan to come out of the mountain.

Guoyuan avoided Liaodong just for the safety of himself and his family, not disgusted with the world or unwilling to go out, in the chaos of the world and the unclear situation, he would not easily throw himself into a certain force, but with the strength and strength that Liu He is now showing north of the Yellow River, coupled with Zheng Xuan's handwritten letters, he did not hesitate to agree to Xian Yuyin's invitation, and entered Anshi City with the officers and soldiers who came to greet him.

After Xian Yuyin invaded Liaodong, he invited Bingyuan and Guoyuan out one after another, which can be regarded as completing half of the talent recruitment task assigned by Liu He, and the pressure in his heart has finally been reduced a lot. After seeing Guoyuan, Xian Yuyin asked politely: "Mr. Zini, now that our army is alone in the hinterland of Liaodong, although Gongsun Du's qi is exhausted, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it is quite difficult to deal with it." Although Yin is not talented, he is also unwilling to do more killing in the land of Liaodong, and now Gongsun Du and the Goguryeo people have colluded to deal with our army, I don't know how to deal with it? ”

Guo Yuan saw that Xian Yuyin's attitude was sincere, and he did not put on the arrogant and domineering appearance of a military general, and felt satisfied in his heart, so he replied: "The general does not have to worry. As long as the general let these Goguryeo people suffer some hardships, and then maybe some benefits and benefits, they will give up Gongsun Du and turn to the Liao army. ”

When Xian Yuyin heard Guo Yuan's words, he was surprised for a while, because Guo Yuan's suggestion was basically consistent with Li Ru's plan, and it seemed that it was really the same as what the hero saw. (To be continued......)
