Donglai Wangji, an important minister in the late Cao Wei period, is an all-rounder who can write and martial arts.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xi knows Wang Ji because of the shameful Three Kingdoms series. Wang Ji is really a very useful military general in the later period.

And this Wang Ji is very strange, with the version update of the Dark Shame Three Kingdoms series, every time a new version comes out, his value will jump up, and in the end, this one's command and political ability are directly close to ninety. This is the threshold of a first-class general.

Zhang Xi specially went to the historical materials for this reason, and only then did he know that this person was so capable of not only governing the place, but also leading troops to fight, and was a rare talent in the middle and late stages of Cao Wei.

Then Zhang Xi was in Yuelu Academy and found a Donglai man who was also named Wang Ji.

Of course, there are more people with the same name and surname in these years, the most typical is the name Ma Zhong, and Wei Shu and Wu each have one.

So Zhang Xi tentatively talked to Wang Ji and asked about his past.

Wang Ji didn't think about it that much, after all, he didn't know that Zhang Xi was the Taishou of Nanjun at that time, he just thought that he was also a student of a certain Confucian on the scene, so he regarded it as a classmate, and said it.

Wang Ji is a native of Donglai, his father died early, and his uncle raised him.

When he was seventeen years old, Wang Ji had actually entered the office, but the county asked him to be the adjutant in charge of grain and grass, and he disliked that this job was too cumbersome and not a job he liked to do, so he resigned and went out to study.

When he arrived at Runan, he met Song Jun, and Wang Ji studied under Song Jun's door until now.

Wang Ji is actually from a poor family, but in the Jiaodong Peninsula, the cultural atmosphere is strong, and Wang Ji has laid a relatively solid cultural foundation since he was a child.

And when he arrived in Runan, because he was apprenticed to Song Jun, and Song Jun was Zheng Xuan's disciple, and Zheng Xuan was from Gaomi County, Beihai, and was next door to Donglai County, so Wang Ji was also rumored to be Zheng Xuan's disciple.

In fact, no, Wang Ji is Zheng Xuan's second disciple, the reason is very simple, the time is not right - when Wang Ji went to Runan to study at the age of seventeen, Zheng Xuan had already been dead for six years.

After figuring out these things, Zhang Xi had already determined that this Wang Ji was the Wang Ji he knew.

In this case, it is obvious that this person can't be allowed to go to Cao Wei's side to be an official again. must stay and serve Liu Bei.

At that moment, Zhang Xi made clear his identity as the Taishou of Nanjun, and sincerely invited Wang Ji to go out of Jingzhou, and he could choose whatever position he wanted to be, and he could dredge up the relationship.

Wang Ji was stunned at the time, but then, Wang Ji also fell into thinking.

Wang Ji is twenty-eight years old this year, and if he continues to stumble, God knows if there is still a chance to become an official.

But to be honest, Wang Ji is a native of Donglai, and his family is in Cao Wei, although being an official here in Liu Bei will not affect his family, but it is inconvenient to go home to worship his ancestors in the future.

Again, Wang Ji is actually not optimistic about Liu Bei, and thinks that the most promising person in the world for reunification now has to be Cao Wei, after all, people occupy most of the country, no matter how you look at it, it is a time when it is thriving.

So, Wang Ji thought about how to refuse Zhang Xi.

After all, it's someone you just met, and people talk to you in person with the respect of a county, without saying anything at all, and warmly invite you to come out, it's always hard to refuse.

Therefore, Wang Ji said that if Zhang Xi could move Liu Bei and let him be the driver of Jingzhou, then he would agree to Liu Bei.

In Wang Ji's view, this is impossible.

Jingzhou Beijia is the deputy of a state, and he is the most trusted person in Jingzhou Mu, and he generally must be a confidant of Jingzhou Mu.

And now Jingzhou Mu is Liu Bei's personal part-time job in Liu Bei's group, how can Liu Bei let a person who has never heard of it hold this position.

Again, Zhang Xi is just the Taishou of Nanjun, the chief official at the county level, how can he not decide who will be the deputy at the state level, right?!

Therefore, Wang Ji is taking advance as retreat, and put forward an impossible condition to let Zhang Xi retreat in the face of difficulties.

And Zhang Xi said. Wait, stay at Yuelu Academy for the time being, and I'll ask.

Then Zhang Xi went to ask.

Ask Guan Yu first, don't you mind Jingzhou?!

If someone else asks this question, Guan Yu has to think about it, after all, this position is very important, Guan Yu is not a righteous Jingzhou pastor, he is just the governor of Jingzhou, if he does not drive more, he may be hindered by himself.

But this question was asked by Zhang Xi, and Guan Yu said that you can do it yourself.

Although the second master doesn't like Zhang Xi's way of dealing with the world, he still trusts Zhang Xi very much, since it was recommended by Zhang Xi, the second master believes that the other party will definitely be competent.

Besides, if there is a constraint, the second master can also find Zhang Xi and let him be responsible for solving it.

As soon as Zhang Xi heard that Guan Yu had no opinion, he immediately ran to Ma Liang and asked him if he wanted to be a driver in Jingzhou?!

Ma Liang said that I am already very tired of being a part-time driver in Jingzhou Zhizhong, and you let me actually take the other driver, is this going to tire me to death? !

Then Zhang Xi asked again, then I recommend someone to be a driver, you have no opinion, right?!

Ma Liang was so happy when he heard this, can there be such a good thing?!

Where's that guy?! What's the last name?! Are you from Jingzhou?! How's the ability?!

Ma Liang asked four questions in a row, so Zhang Xi didn't know how to answer, so Zhang Xi simply took Ma Liang to Yuelu Academy, met Wang Ji, and let the two talk face-to-face.

Wang Ji was even more surprised, he didn't expect that Zhang Xi only went for a few hours, and then brought Jingzhou to govern the middle of the government and let him be interviewed.

Of course, if you have to say it, Jingzhou Zhizhong can't decide the position of Jingzhou. But since they came, Wang Ji couldn't deal with it perfunctorily.

Otherwise, people spread the word that Wang Ji not only has no real ability, but also does not know etiquette. Will Wang Ji be an official in the future?!

Therefore, Wang Ji did not perfunctory Ma Liang, basically what Ma Liang asked, he answered seriously, and showed his talent with all his might.

Therefore, Ma Liang has a full understanding of Wang Ji's talent.

This person, there is no problem with ability, considering some aspects of things, Ma Liang is amazed and very predictable.

Although the practical experience is a little lacking, he only needs to sharpen it a little to help himself, and now Ma Liang is really short of people, and he also has the heart to pull Wang Ji to join Liu Bei Group.

As for the position of Jingzhou Beijia, it is indeed not up to Ma Liang to decide, but this position can be recommended by Zhang Xi and Guan Yu, and even in front of Liu Bei, it is a matter of going through the motions.

The only thing that worries Ma Liang is that Wang Ji is not from Jingzhou, he is from Donglai.

But looking back, this is a disciple of the great Confucian Song Jun, and he still learned the scriptures and meanings of Zheng Xuan's lineage, not to mention anything else, just at Zheng Xuan's golden signboard, which of the Jingzhou families dares to shout? !

That's a leading figure in Confucianism in an era, as Zheng Xuan's apprentice and grandson, if you don't give Wang Ji face, you don't give Zheng Xuan face, please ask, which family in the whole world has the courage to do this? !

As soon as Ma Liang figured this out, he suddenly had no worries at all, and said goodbye to Wang Ji, and then waited for Wang Ji to take office and share the responsibility for himself.

Wang Ji didn't understand in the end, whether Ma Liang admired him or not.

If you want to say appreciation, he didn't say anything before he left, you have to say that he didn't appreciate it, Ma Liang expressed his praise for him several times during the conversation.

Wang Ji thought about it and felt that probably Ma Liang still admired him, maybe the conditions he put forward were too high, and Ma Liang couldn't agree, so he couldn't do it.

At this time, Wang Ji actually regretted it a little. It's rare to meet such a person who appreciates himself, and if he doesn't mention such high conditions, maybe he will be out for the second time now.

But the words have already been said, it is impossible for Wang Ji to lower his requirements now, and going back on his word like this will have a bad impact on his own reputation.

Again, Wang Ji still thinks that Cao Cao is more likely to unify the world.

Therefore, Wang Ji temporarily put aside his worries in this regard, continued to serve the teachers to write books and make notes, and took the opportunity to listen to the lectures on the sidelines to learn the knowledge of other great Confucians.

In this way, more than a month passed, except for Zhang Xi's occasional visit here to chat with Wang Ji, Wang Ji himself forgot about this Jingzhou other thing.

Then, one day in May, Wang Ji served his master Song Jun as usual, but Zhang Xi hurriedly took the paperwork and came to Wang Ji.

After more than a month of back and forth by the messenger, Wang Ji's Jingzhou Beiqi requisitioned documents and finally came down.

Liu Bei personally used the seal, as the pastor of Jingzhou, to conquer Wang Ji as the commander of Jingzhou.

In fact, there was no need to be so troublesome, after all, Zhang Xi had already told Guan Yu, and Ma Liang had no opinion, according to Zhang Xi's meaning, he would notify Wang Ji and go to work the next day.

But Maleonn said it wouldn't work.

People are the children of Zheng Xuan's lineage, we can't be so unparticular and let people come to work with a casual notice, in doing so, people can say that the procedure is illegal and refuse to go out.

Therefore, Ma Liang said that it is better to ask the lord Liu Bei to personally order the expedition, which is in line with the procedure, and it is also a respect for the children of Zheng Xuan's lineage.

If it causes a chain reaction, so that the disciples of Zheng Xuan's lineage feel that Liu Bei pays attention to etiquette and understands the rules, leaves a good impression, and attracts more talents from Zheng Xuan's lineage to join, it will be a great joy.

After all, the great Confucian disciples of Zheng Xuan's lineage have a great influence in this world, and they can be found everywhere in the world.

If they are willing to go out to Liu Bei on a large scale, not to mention the problem of talents, this increase in influence alone will be enough for Liu Beile for several months.

Therefore, Guan Yu, Zhang Xi, and Ma Liang jointly signed a letter to Liu Bei to recommend Wang Ji to be the commander of Jingzhou, and the horse was sent to Liu Bei so quickly.

And Liu Bei was suddenly surprised, and thought that this Wang Ji was a great talent.

But then after seeing the reasons why the three recommended Wang Ji, he understood why the three of them were so serious.

And speaking of which, Liu Bei himself and Wang Ji also have something to do with it.

Liu Bei once studied classics under Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi's teacher was Ma Rong, and Zheng Xuan and Ma Rong were classmates.

Liu Bei, as the lord of one party, rose from the bottom, and knew too well the importance of this inheritance among the students of these families, even if Wang Ji was not talented, Liu Bei must recruit him, just like Liu Bei treated Liu Yan.

Liu Yan advocates clean talk and does not understand practice, and he advocates luxury, but in fact, it is not in line with Liu Bei's taste in employing people at all.

But over the years, Liu Bei has always been very good to Liu Yan, and has always supported him even in the most difficult times.

In addition to the fact that this product is the same sect as Liu Bei, the reason why Liu Bei has always been so kind is because he is Zheng Xuan's disciple.

Not to mention that Wang Ji has been endorsed by Zhang Xi and Ma Liang, this person is practical.

In that case, what's the pity?!
