Chapter 156: Fateful Meeting

"Childe, then Wei Yan wants to see you."

With the start of spring ploughing, Tuntian also entered the right track, and Liu Chuang finally settled down.

After returning to Gaomi from the inspection in Yi'an, Liu Chuang suddenly felt much more relaxed. Wei Yue, Hou Qian, and Huang Zhen were dispatched one after another, and it seemed that Liu Chuang's available people had decreased a lot. But in reality, it didn't bring much volatility. Shi Lian was stationed in Dongwu, and his troops had reached as many as 8,000 people, and he could easily control the three regions of Dongwu, Langya and Jiaozhou Bay, and the troops were still very sufficient.

The only one affected is Gumu.

As soon as Wei Yue leaves, Gumu must be guarded, otherwise there will be an empty situation in the west of Gaomi.

Fortunately, Liu Chuang transferred Tai Shi Ci back, and after Wei Yue left, Tai Shi Ci took over the Gu Mu as the general of Yangwu Chang Shi.

At the same time, Liu Chuang also ordered Chen Quntun to be stationed in Anqiu, echoing Tai Shi Ci.

In this way, the Wenshui Triangle formed by Chunyu, Anqiu and Chang'an counties was also firmly controlled by Liu Chuang, and it was difficult to have any waves.

Under the secret, there is Guan Hai stationed, foolproof.

The dock built by Xue Zhou in Xiami has also begun to be put into production, and all the qiΔ“ are firmly in Liu Chuang's hands.

The soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou Bay have Xu Sheng taking over, and at the same time remotely controlling Jiaodong.

On the Donglai County side, Wang Xiu successively used thunderous means to kill the local heroes, which made the gentry in Donglai County dare not jump out again. As for Xixian and Duchang, Liu Chuang still didn't put too much energy into it. He asked Cen Bi to assist Liu Zheng in taking care of the drama county area, and from time to time ordered Xiahoulan and Zhou Cang to take turns to lead Fei Xiongwei to cross the Weishui and assist Cen Bi in suppressing bandits, which was also a way to train troops.

Overall, Liu Chuang is relaxed now.

If it hadn't been for Bu Qi reminding him, he would have almost forgotten. In his prison, there is also a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

On that day, Kuai Qi made trouble outside Gaomi City, and Liu Chuang once captured a Jingzhou general.

The Jingzhou Xiao general turned out to be a god refining general, which surprised Liu Chuang.

After questioning, Liu Chuang learned that the Jingzhou general who was captured by him was actually Wei Yan...... This time, it really surprised Liu Chuang. Wei Yan! He never expected it. actually captured Wei Yan. That was a rare general in the Shu Han camp in the Three Kingdoms era. Although in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yan often gives people a feeling that there is not enough success and more than failure, but it cannot be denied. This person's talent and bravery, in the entire Three Kingdoms camp at that time, can definitely be included in the top ten, and he can be regarded as a big bull.

Therefore, when Liu Chuang learned Wei Yan's identity, he would be surprised.

Wei Yan was in Jingzhou and was not willing. It's just an ordinary young player.

Liu Chuang asked the people of the Jingzhou mission before he figured out the ins and outs...... It turned out that this Wei Yan was not from Jingzhou, but from Yiyang, Lujiang County, Yangzhou. This righteous yang. It is roughly located in the eastern area of Tongbai County, Xinyang City, Henan Province, and later moved to Jingzhou for unknown reasons. He was kind to his soldiers and haughty. Although brave and brave. But he was never liked by Liu Biao, so he had been acting as a young general under Deng Ji before. Battle of Huyang. Deng Ji was defeated, and Wei Yan fought his way out of the siege and defected to Xiangyang. This time, Liu Biao sent Pang Ji as an envoy to Xu Du, and ordered Wei Yan to accompany him to protect him. Later, Kuai Qi came to Gaomi, and Pang Ji asked him to accompany him to protect Kuai Qi.

thought that he could be appreciated by Kuai Qi with his good martial arts, and he would be able to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou in the future.

But I don't want to......

After Liu Chuang learned of Wei Yan's identity, he did not immediately go over to solicit him.

According to his understanding of Wei Yan, this is an extremely proud person, and if he is recruited immediately, I am afraid that Wei Yan will not surrender. If you want him to use it for yourself, you must first dispel the pride in Wei Yan's bones, and then use both soft and hard to really surrender him.

In addition, after the wedding, Liu Chuang's affairs were really busy, so he simply left Wei Yan there coldly and ignored it at all.

Now, Wei Yan took the initiative to ask to see him, and Liu Chuang knew that this should be almost the same......

"In that case, let's see him once."

Liu Chuang ordered Zhou Cang to take people and bring Wei Yan out of prison.

In a flash, in the past two months, the brave general who fought with Liu Chuang outside Gaomi City at the beginning now looks a little depressed.

Liu Chuang sat in the lobby, holding a volume of "Spring and Autumn", ignoring Wei Yan.

And Wei Yan stood in the hall, although he tried his best to straighten his waist, it could be seen that he was not so confident.

"See me, what's the matter?"

About a stick of incense, Liu Chuang put down the book and asked in a deep voice.

Wei Yan swallowed his saliva, "Uncle Huang has captured me so far, and he has neither let me go nor killed me, what is the reason?" ”

"Oh?" When Liu Chuang heard this, he immediately laughed, "If you want to die, you can't die?" ”

"Ants are still stealing life, let alone people?" Wei Yan was not hypocritical, but went straight to the point: "It's just that Uncle Huang refuses to kill me and won't let me go?" Yan was puzzled. ”

Liu Chuang leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Chief, I don't kill you, I cherish your good martial arts."

But if I want to let you go, I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel like I have let the tiger go back to the mountain...... Chief, teach me, what to do? ”

This sentence has been said very clearly.

Wei Yan is not a fool, how can he not hear the meaning of Liu Chuang's words?

He hesitated, suddenly knelt down on one knee, kowtowed, and said: "I have been admiring the name of Uncle Huang for a long time, and I really yearn for it, but unfortunately there is no door to see him." After being defeated by Uncle Huang today, he was willing to serve Uncle Huang. ”

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He shook his head, pointed at Wei Yan and said, "Chief, I also cherish your good martial arts."

It's just that if you want to work for me, it's not easy. All the generals under my command have followed me to fight in the north and south, and now their status is all killed by them with a knife and a shot, and they are definitely not appointed out of thin air. If you want to work for me, you have to start from the grassroots. If there is a true thing, I will not be stingy. But if you don't have a real thing, I'm afraid I won't be with you...... Chief, do you understand the meaning of these words? ”

In Liu Chuang's heart, he really wanted to recruit Wei Yan.

But he knew very well that Wei Yan was too proud and had to be beaten from time to time.

If you give him some face, he will dare to open a dyeing workshop...... Historically, Zhuge Liang used him and beat him at the same time. It's just that. After Zhuge Liang's death, no one in Shu Han could suppress Wei Yan anymore, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to design and kill this person.

Liu Chuang squinted his eyes and stared at Wei Yan.

If you want to use this person well, you have to have some patience.

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he gritted his teeth, "Uncle Huang's meaning, Yan has already understood." Yan thinks that he is not inferior to others and is willing to be a pawn. Fight for a future, and ask the imperial uncle to take it in. ”

He saw it very clearly, and when he returned to Jingzhou, he was afraid that he would not have good fruit to eat.

He is not from Jingzhou, let alone Liu Biao's confidant...... Want to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. The difficulty of this can be imagined.

Rather than staying in Jingzhou and having no way out, it is better to surrender Liu Chuang.

At least, Liu Chuang is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his martial arts are better than him, dominating the land of the two counties, and he looks quite prosperous. If he submits to Liu Chuang now. One day, he can soar with his military exploits. In terms of future, it is better than going back to Jingzhou to suffer the grievances.

Liu Chuang's face showed a smile.

He stood up and walked around the bookcase. Stretched out his hand to help Wei Yan up.

"Since the chief has this heart, why don't you stay by my side for the time being and be a flying bear guard Sima, what do you think?"

Since Liu Chuang decided to recruit Wei Yan. Naturally, he had already thought of a way to recruit Wei Yan.

You can't just entrust this person with a heavy responsibility. It's only a matter of gradual...... Moreover, Liu Chuang is not afraid that he will be arrogant.

You must know that Liu Chuang's side is not a versatile person.

Tai Shi Ci and Xu Chu can defeat Wei Yan in terms of bravery. Not to mention, Liu Chuang also left an old opponent of Wei Yan...... When Zhuge Liang matures, he will let Zhuge Liang clean up this person. Liu Chuang believes that Zhuge Liang in history can be obedient to Wei Yan's tidying, so Zhuge Liang today will definitely be able to do better than in history. And before that, let Wei Yan stay by his side and have a good beating.

Wei Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

Liu Chuang naturally couldn't really let him start as a pawn, that was a tyrannical thing.

Jun Sima, with only 300 people under his command, is not an important position. But Fei Xiongwei is Liu Chuang's pro-army, so he can win over Wei Yan.

When the time is ripe in the future, we will make arrangements.

After subduing Wei Yan, Liu Chuang let him stay in the Flying Bear Guard.

Today, there are 1,200 people in three divisions.

Among them, 600 cavalry and 600 foot soldiers...... Liu Chuang divided the cavalry into two divisions, one with 300 men, commanded by Xiahoulan and Wei Yan. The remaining 600 foot soldiers were handed over to the commander of Zhou Cang, all of whom were sword and shield soldiers, and their members were selected and allocated in full accordance with Xiong Zhen's army.

This can be said to be another elite team under Liu Chuang in addition to Xiong Zhenjun.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With the further maturity of Zuobo's papermaking technology, the great cause of compiling books was also launched.

Zheng Xuan went from Gaomi to Buqi, opened Nanshan Academy in Nanshan, and gathered celebrities from all over the world to participate in the big move. This is also the grandest event since Dong Zhuo moved the capital. Zheng Xuan's appeal naturally does not need to be repeated, as he raised his arms, the world's scholars responded.

Kong Rong Xunyue arrived first, and then Yingchuan Shizi came to help.

Guan Ning and Bing Yuan joined this grand event one after another, which also made Gaomi suddenly a place where people all over the world are paying attention.

In February of the third year of Jian'an, there was Hu Zhao and Hu Kongming, a famous scholar from Yingchuan, with 50 disciples of Lu Hunshan, who traveled thousands of miles from Yingchuan to Gaomi.

Liu Chuang was not particularly impressed by Hu Zhao's name.

But when Zheng Xuan went to him, he once said to him: Kong Ming studied under Liu Desheng...... And that Liu Desheng is your uncle.

Ling Zun has a very deep friendship with the heir, and after you meet Kong Ming, you must not lose your courtesy. ”

Liu Desheng, the heir of the character Jun, the founder of the calligraphy, was called the "originator of the calligraphy" by later generations because he created the 'Xingshu' font between regular script and cursive script. Many people may not be familiar with this person and have not even heard of his name. If it weren't for Liu Chuang's previous life to learn calligraphy, maybe he didn't know much about this person. Liu Desheng has an apprentice, who is Liu Chuang's uncle in this life, Zhong Xuan.

According to Zheng Xuan, aren't this Hu Zhao and Zhong Xuan the same door?

But Zhong Miao is Liu Chuang's uncle, and Liu Chuang is the same generation as Hu Zhao...... This messy relationship made Liu Chuang also have a headache. However, since Zheng Xuan ordered it, Liu Chuang would naturally keep it in mind and treat Hu Zhao and his party. It is also quite important.

"Has Kang Chenggong gone there?"

When Hu Zhao heard the news that Zheng Xuan had left Gaomi, he couldn't help but feel stunned.

Liu Chuang hurriedly explained: "Gaomi has an increased population now, and Daxing Tuntian, so it is a little noisy.

The old man used to live in seclusion in the South Mountain, and he had great feelings for it. In addition, the scenery is extremely beautiful, so the old man decided to open the Nanshan Academy there, build a library pavilion, and order someone to put the books in the ancestral house. All of them are sent to be sorted. ”

Liu Chuang explained while looking at a young man behind Hu Zhao.

The young man seemed to be Hu Zhao's disciple, and judging by his age, he was similar to Liu Chuang. The height is about 180 cm, which makes it even taller.

He was born with a red face and white teeth, and was extremely handsome.

It's just that the bridge of the nose is high and straight, with an arc, which is what later generations often call the hooked nose. A pair of eyes, slightly elongated, with a burning gaze.

When Liu Chuang explained to Hu Zhao. The young man kept looking at Liu Chuang, and his eyes showed curiosity.

As if feeling Liu Chuang's gaze, Hu Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, introduce you on my behalf."

This is my disciple. The compound surname is Sima, the single name is Yi, the word Zhongda, is a person from Hanoi...... This time he heard that I was coming to Gaomi. So they clamored to see you. ”

Sima Yi?

Hear the name. Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Fortunately, he is now well-informed, and the cattle of the Three Kingdoms have seen countless people, and even Guo Jia dares to humiliate him, so that he will not be surprised when he hears a familiar name as he did at the beginning. Today's Liu Chuang, although he can't be happy and angry, it is not difficult to hide his feelings. However, the name Sima Yi still had a huge impact on him.

Sima Yi took a step forward and arched his hand: "Yi is in Yingchuan, and I often hear people mention the name of the emperor's uncle.

When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name......"

For some reason, Sima Yi and Liu Chuang were very polite, but from his gaze, Liu Chuang felt a different kind of affection......

Cordial!

Well, it's kind!

Sima Yi looked at Liu Chuang's gaze, revealing a touch of kindness, which made Liu Chuang feel puzzled.

He really couldn't understand why this biggest yin man in the Three Kingdoms in history would show such a gaze to himself?

However, he was not easy to ask, so he hurriedly greeted Sima Yi and was polite.

Hu Zhao said: "Since Kang Chenggong is not in Gaomi, then I won't bother."

I can't go there, but I also ask Uncle Huang to send a guide, so that I don't get lost. ”

Liu Chuang hurriedly said: "This is simple...... My brother-in-law Kong Ming...... Oh, my brother-in-law has a surname of Zhuge again, a single name is bright, the word is Kongming, and Mr. Hu's expression is the same, I hope Mr. Don't blame. ”

Hu Zhao laughed and said: "It's just a heavy word, what kind of thing is it?" Uncle Huang Hugh wants to be polite. ”

Liu Chuang said: "My brother-in-law is studying under Kang Chenggong today. He was about to send a batch of books to him, so it was better to let him accompany him, and ask him for advice on the way. In addition, I will send another 300 flying bear guards to escort Mr. Hu, and I hope that Mr. Hu will not refuse. ”

Hu Zhao was not polite, so he nodded in agreement.

How do you know that Sima Yi suddenly said: "Uncle Huang, Yi has a reluctant request, and I hope that Uncle Huang will fulfill it?" ”

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Zhongda, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "I am in Xudu, and I often hear that the emperor's uncle has rejuvenated the fields in Beihai and changed to plant Shu millet to make the people full. I'm curious about this, so I want to look around, but I wonder if Uncle Huang can agree? But don't worry, Uncle Huang, I will only go to see what I should see, and I will never see what I shouldn't. ”

Liu Chuang's eyes froze, staring at Sima Yi.

And Sima Yi didn't dodge, looking directly at Liu Chuang, looking fearless.

After a while, Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Since Zhongda has a heart, how can I refuse?"

It's just that Zhongda is probably the first time to come to Beihai, and I'm afraid he is not very familiar with this place. Last year, Donglai County was determined, and there were still rogues everywhere. If you walk alone in Gaomi, you are likely to be in danger. Then let my wife and brother accompany you, and send another army of soldiers and horses with you.

Hengruo, you take Fei Xiong Wei to protect Mr. Hu, if Zhongda wants to travel to Donglai, you and Kong Ming accompany him, don't have an accident.

Wherever Zhongda wants to go, you can accompany him there, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

When Xia Houlan heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Childe is too generous to this Sima Yi, right...... Unexpectedly let Sima Yi walk in Donglai, Beihai?

To be honest, Liu Chuang didn't know why he did this.

Although Sima Yi had a bad reputation in history, he was even more criticized in later generations. But for some reason, Liu Chuang did have a wonderful sense of closeness to him, which made him wonder. Perhaps, it was the kind of closeness that Sima Yi came out of XiΓ n that made Liu Chuang relax his vigilance.

Anyway, Liu Chuang felt that Sima Yi had no malicious intent.

However, let Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang stay together......

Liu Chuang's heart suddenly had a strong sense of disobedience. These two opponents who should have fought to the death in history now appeared in front of Liu Chuang at the same time. Liu Chuang doesn't know what kind of results these two people will produce when they walk together?

He's a little curious!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the same day, Hu Zhao left Gaomi.

Zhuge Liang accompanied Hu Zhao and Sima Yi to Buqi, and then accompanied Sima Yi, under the protection of Fei Xiongwei, to visit Jiaozhou Bay and go to Jiaodong.

After sending Hu Zhao away, Liu Chuang became busy again.

First of all, Elfang sent someone to send news that he had bought the Grange property in accordance with Liu Chuang's arrangement, and purchased thousands of slaves, and began to try to plant Shu millet. At the same time, he also bought other crops from northern Xinjiang, such as soybeans and barley...... And carry out batch trial seeding. However, according to the news from Elfang, the temperature there is cold, and whether this Shu millet can survive is not yet able to bear fruit.

Liu Chuang also knew that this was not something that could be done overnight.

However, whether Shu millet can be popularized in northern Xinjiang is related to Liu Chuang's future survival plan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Chuang sent someone to reply to Elfang: No matter what happens, we must try to make Shu millet survive in northern Xinjiang......

PS: Just got home, catch your breath.

Tomorrow will restore fΓΉ two watches......
