Cai Yong, Wang Yun, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang looked at each other, their faces full of doubts.

After a while, Liu Biao couldn't help but ask, "General Wang, aren't they invited by you to come to General Huangfu?" But they said......"

"General Huangfu!"

Wang Xu exclaimed, reacted instantly, and then remembered that when he went north, he had seen the two old men who were in seclusion outside Wuguan City, Huangfu Song and the sect member, and he was overjoyed at the moment: "Oops! How did I forget about them, how? Are the two old generals coming to Xiangyang? ”

"It turns out that the general doesn't know yet." Liu Biao smiled, took it and said: "Soon after the lord went north, the two of them came to Xiangyang with their families, and the time has been more than a year and a half, as well as Zhang Chao and Zhang Zihe, who also live with them in the township eighteen miles west of the city, adjacent to each other, and their subordinates and others often go to visit. ”

"Eighteen miles west of the city!" Wang Xu chattered to himself, and then said strangely: "How could they live so far, with the prestige of the Huangfu general, Han Song, as Hu Cao Peng, should have personally arranged this matter, why didn't they settle in Xiangyang?" ”

"The general doesn't know." Liu Zhang replied with a smile: "It's not that Han Song didn't arrange it for him, but that several old generals didn't accept it, and Han Hucao had no choice but to do it according to the ordinary people's move south, so in the township not far from Xiangyang, he divided a few pieces of fertile land for him and cultivated it for a living." It is said that General Huangfu had asked someone to find General Zhu Jun, who had died by fraud and lived in seclusion in the north, and urged him to move his family to Xiangyang. ”

"It's wonderful." Wang Xu was uncontrollable, and said happily: "Several old generals are all famous generals in the world, if they are willing to go out to help, Dongqing Academy will be able to cultivate generals who can fight well." ”

Liu Biao has a short mandibular beard. He smiled and said: "Then I wish the general in advance the success of convincing several old generals to come out of the mountain!" ”

"Hahaha...... Lend you auspicious words! ”

Wang Xu was in a good mood. It's just because I'm worried about finding Huangfu Song. I didn't talk to a few people for long, and then hurriedly left.

He and Zhou Zhi went all the way non-stop, and when they arrived in the countryside in the west of the city, it was already dusk, but they didn't expect to meet Huangfu Song, Zongyuan, and Zhang Chao, who were carrying hoes and returning from the fields, talking and laughing with each other, leisurely.

Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi suddenly stepped forward to pay their respects. It startled the three of them, but soon they smiled, excitedly dropped the hoe, and pulled him and Zhou Zhi to Huangfu Song's house to eat and drink.

This trip was originally to visit the three of them, but of course Wang Xu did not refuse, and rushed to Huangfu Song's house after laughing with a few people.

Although he lives in the township, Huangfu Song's home is not small, and it is no problem to live in twenty or thirty people. Quickly take out the good wine from the cellar, and drink it for my father today. ”

Hearty laughter soon rang out from inside the room: "Father is so happy today. Are you willing to take out the old wine in the cellar? ”

"I'll know later, tell your mother and a few aunts to kill the chickens and ducks and cook a few more good dishes." Huangfu Song said with a laugh.

"Okay!" A voice came from the room on the left, but no one was in sight.

The group walked to the foyer and sat down, and without chatting a few words, they saw two young men in their thirties walking in slowly, and saw Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi obviously stunned.

When Huangfu Song saw the two of them, he stood up in a hurry, laughed and said, "Jianshou and Li'er, come over and see General Wang and General Zhou!" ”

"Huangfu Jianshou (Huangfu Li) meets General Wang and General Zhou!" The two of them smiled and bowed.

"Excuse me!"

"No need to be polite!"

Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi nodded one after another.

Huangfu Song then introduced: "Two generals, these are my eldest son, Huangfu Jianshou and my son, Huangfu Li. ”

Two talents!

This is the first reaction in Wang Xu's head, these two people are not ordinary people, they are quite famous in history, but it is a pity that after Huangfu Song retired, these two also returned to their hometown, and they have never shown their talents again.

"General Huangfu, I don't know when Ling Lang came to Jingzhou, and I didn't see him outside Wuguan City last time." Wang Xu asked casually.

Huangfu Song smiled: "I and General Zong hid outside Wuguan City, only their wives were companions, and the dog brothers and the rest of the family were still in their hometowns in Bingzhou. ”

Now their young people also live in Xiangyang, taking care of some traders, to support their families, but these days Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li came to visit, and they happened to be fortunate to meet the two generals. General Zong and his son are also in a similar situation to me. ”

The sect member and Zhang Chao smiled and nodded, agreeing with Huangfu Song's words.

Wang Xu's mind moved slightly, and he wanted to immediately recruit Huangfu Jianshou and others, but because he wanted to invite Huangfu Song and a few people to contribute, it was not good to talk about his son first, so he quietly gave Zhou Zhi a look.

Zhou Zhi and his brother have been close for many years, but he didn't know what he thought, so he took over with a smile: "General Huangfu, General Zong, General Zhang, you three are really killing geniuses, it is really inappropriate to hide so many talents in the family!" ”

"General Zhou is still so noisy." Zhang Chao suddenly scolded with a smile: "What kind of genius, among the descendants of the family of Xia and the two old generals, Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li can take on great responsibilities, and Zong Gu, the second son of General Zong, also has some talent, as for the dogs, no one can be of great use." ”

The three of them are all open-minded people, they get along day and night on weekdays, and they obviously talk about the affairs of future generations, so Huangfu Song and the sect members did not express any dissatisfaction with Zhang Chao's words, but agreed with them.

"Zi is not bad!" The sect member said: "There are several dog brothers, but the second son Zonggu has some potential, but it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility with his current talent. ”

"You can't say that!" Zhou Zhi decisively interjected and objected: "If you don't go through training, how can you become atmospheric, and what it looks like in the next year, you don't know it, and it's not that you have sharpened it in the battle." ”

When Huangfu Song, Sect Member, and Zhang Chao heard this, they didn't know what it meant, and they looked at each other as if they were smiling.

After a long time, Huangfu Song spoke: "General Zhou, although Your Excellency has a stubborn temperament. But when he was a teenager, he was smart and alert. Extraordinary insight. And good at wrists, good at learning and making good use, this is talent. To say something that shouldn't be said, if it wasn't for that, how could you let your Excellency walk around the army freely. However, some people are different, their qualifications are limited, and if there is a deviation in their personality, it is difficult to become a big thing. ”

Zhou Zhi was a little stunned. Back then, Huangfu Song allowed him to move around in the army, and turned a blind eye to causing trouble everywhere, as long as it was not excessive, Quan Dang didn't see it, it turned out that it was because he valued his talent and had the intention to cultivate and exercise.

He was a little embarrassed, but he also raised his heartfelt respect for Huangfu Song, put away his laughter, and said solemnly: "General Huangfu, even so." But if you have potential, you should also give it a chance, just like you gave me a chance back then. ”

"Zhou Zhi said this very much." Wang Xu interfaced in a timely manner. Said with a smile: "Jade is not grinding, qualified young people need to polish more after all, now is the time to employ people, if you don't dislike it, if you don't dislike it, if you don't go out of Jingzhou, you won't be in vain with this seven-foot body." ”

The attitude here was already obvious, and Huangfu Song, the sect member, and Zhang Chao made eye contact for a moment, and they all nodded inadvertently.

"Okay!" Huangfu Song finally relented, and said with a smile: "Since the two generals are so invited, it is also a good thing to let their young people go on a rampage, but in the lower clan, only Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li have that ability and qualification, and the others still forget it, they all have limitations, and they are afraid of causing great disasters in this troubled world, so it is better to manage the family business well and keep a rich and safe life." ”

"Only the second son Zong Gu can be, and the others are not suitable!" The sect member said with a smile.

"My eldest son Zhang Zhe has some literary talents, so he can barely be a small official!" Zhang Chao said helplessly.

In fact, what a few people said was too modest, among their descendants, not only these people were talented, but a few people used to go very high, saw too thoroughly, and understood that in this troubled world, once they came out, they were in danger everywhere, and they would cause trouble if they didn't pay attention to it, so they didn't have a very high ability, and they would never let them step into strife if they agreed in their hearts.

Although Wang Xu is eager to dig up all the talents, he also understands the considerations of others, and he is already satisfied with the four of them.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Huangfu Song turned his head solemnly, looked at Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li, and then sighed leisurely and said softly: "General Wang, Jianshou is brave and righteous, and he is quite good at fighting, but he lacks the general situation, and before he fails to break through, the general cannot let him lead the army to fight alone." ”

"Huangfu Li is fickle, but his personality is stubborn, lacks careful thinking, and is easy to calculate."

"Zong Gu is fierce and courageous, but his temperament is irritable and his arrogance is too strong."

"Only Zhang Zhe is calm and wise, but he lacks the courage to forge ahead, and it is very easy to delay the fighter and miss the opportunity."

Wang Xu listened carefully and did not comment, just smiled and nodded.

Soon, Huangfu Song's wives came over with wine and food, and everyone's topic also shifted.

But as soon as he picked up the wine bowl, he hadn't been able to touch the first glass, but there was a burst of laughter outside: "Hahahaha...... Brother Huangfu, I heard your shout earlier, and today I actually took out all the old wine in the cellar, and smelled it at home, but I really don't know the taste, and I came to ask you for a glass of wine, I don't know if you can welcome it. ”

Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi were stunned, not knowing who it was.

Huangfu Song, Sect Member, and Zhang Chao had strange faces, and after looking at each other, they suddenly laughed in unison, with a strange feeling of schadenfreude.

The people who came swaggered into the house, their faces were full of red light, but when they swept their eyes, they were instantly stunned when they saw Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi.

Then he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi were also stunned, but the two reacted quickly enough, as soon as they took two steps, Wang Xu was already shouting: "Yuan Boye, where to go!" ”

The person who came trembled, was sullen for a long time, and turned around with a sad face: "Brother Ziyang! ”

"Haha, sure enough, it's Brother Boye, it's rumored in the world that you are dead, but I didn't expect to hide here, why, hide when you see me!" Wang Xu said with a laugh.

This person is the former Shanyang Taishou, Yuan Yi!

Yuan Yi, who was dressed as a farmer, was recognized, sighed helplessly, and unnaturally found a place to sit down: "Hey! In the early years, he was forced by the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and was caught in the middle to survive, and then he was defeated by Yuan Shu, and had no choice but to go to Xuzhou to escape by fraud, and then wandered and moved to Nanyang, Jingzhou. ”

"Later, I met Zhang Zihe who came south from the north, and I got in touch with the three of them, and a few months ago, the three of them wrote that it was lively here, so they moved over with their help and went incognito."

"I see!" Wang Xu was relieved: "Why did Brother Boye leave when he saw me?" ”

"Hey!" Yuan Yi shook his head and said bitterly: "My Yuan family brothers are fratricidal, killing you to the death, and they are also defeated and fleeing, everyone in the world is laughing at, and what face is there to see the old man, that is, the whereabouts of the earlier factors were revealed, so they simply moved here." ”

"Hahaha!" The sect member laughed and said narrowly: "Boye is thin-skinned, let me wait not to reveal his whereabouts, whenever someone comes to Jingzhou, he hides at home, secretly watches, I didn't think that I would throw myself into the net today." ”

Wang Xu was also happy, he didn't expect Yuan Yi to have such a cute side, and he couldn't help but explain: "Why should Brother Boye be like this, in the troubled times, the world is impermanent, Your Excellency has no fault, why is there no shame to see the world?" ”

"I don't want to see you now!" Yuan Yi said with annoyance.

Seeing his appearance, everyone laughed, and Zhou Zhi quickly pulled the topic to other places, and after a few glasses of wine, he let him gradually let go.

Wang Xu did not rush to talk about things, but chatted with several people about the past and the world.

It wasn't until the atmosphere was warm and everyone was dizzy that he said that he wanted to invite a few people out of the mountain to teach his apprentices.

I thought it would take some twists and turns, but I didn't expect that after a little hesitation, I agreed one by one, and I was very interested in teaching what I had learned.

Not only is it because they are too idle, but also because they are troubled by their thoughts, and they want to pass on some of their things to future generations.

It's just that a few people have spoken first, and they are only responsible for teaching, and they will never participate in any military and political affairs in Jingzhou.

Of course, Wang Xu agreed.

After that, the wine table became more lively, this group of people for how to compile books, how to teach effectively, how to establish the system of the East Youth Academy, that is quite a fierce discussion, although all of them are not young, but when they are drunk, they fight, it is full of energy.

Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Li, two young people, did not dare to speak loudly, and only accompanied Zhou Zhi to drink.

Wang Xu watched them fight calmly, bumping into a few glasses of wine from time to time, smiling.

With these people to do this, he can be relieved, and I believe that in the future, the personal ability of the Jingzhou generals will be greatly improved because of this.

His mind also flew back to the General's Mansion.

The next step may also be the time to completely rectify Jingyi Erzhou! (To be continued......)
