"Heh, hehe......" Liu Bei suddenly sneered, "Mr. is Ma Liang's own brother, I heard that Ma Liang had to conquer Xu Zhen's main book, so he sent you to lurk beside me?" ”

Ma Yan was stunned for a moment, "No, ......"

"Huh? Uncle Huang, it was because Xu Zhen was slow that I turned to the like-mindedness, determined to break Xu Zhen and make him regret it! ”

"Impossible!" Liu Bei suddenly shouted angrily, and looked at Ma Jian a few times, young and impulsive, Jingzhou Shi ...... has been captured by Xu Zhen now.

This man is really powerful.

"Uncle Liu Huang," Ma Jian was a little confused, and at the same time he already felt something was wrong in his heart, shouldn't he come......

"If you don't want to appoint, you can leave in the next, you don't have to say such things, and deliberately insult the next."

"Scholars have their own arrogance and dignity, Xu Bowen is not appointed, and even slightly humiliated, I am afraid that I will have to recommend merit to surpass him in the future, and now I am here to prove this."

"How can you be with him again?"

Liu Bei laughed directly, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Your merits surpass Xu Bowen, how can you say this, I know that it is impossible." ”

Zhang Feixin spoke directly and quickly, and Ma Yan's face was numb, and he turned red and warm on the spot, and his complexion instantly rose, and even red to his neck.

"Why can't it!?"

Ma Tan squinted.

Guan Yu didn't open his eyes, stroked his beard and sneered softly: "Because, there are no more merits in the world." ”

"Why not, if you follow Uncle Liu Huang, Liu Qi's son, you can have this merit if you win all the way, such a merit is not enough?"

"This ......" Liu Bei was stunned, and slowly came to his senses, he was stunned for a moment, his mind moved violently, and he suddenly understood.

This Ma Jian is probably not Xu Zhen's secret agent, first of all, he is not famous, but Liu Qi knows about it.

Second, there are not a few people in Jingzhou who specialize in studying Xu Zhen's achievements, and it is not uncommon in recent years.

Of the three, Ma Liang sent a letter to Liu Qi to recommend his younger brother, and also made it clear that Ma was still grateful for Liu Biao's kindness.

Several people have to be recommended to the territory as officials, and the grace of recommendation is extremely important in the hearts of scholars, and they will not be given up at will.

Otherwise, it will be a sin that disgraces the ancestors.

Perhaps, this Ma Jian really abandoned Jingzhou and threw himself into Jiangxia.

After all, if the Xiaoshi clan wants to survive, they must divide the talents of the heirs of the family everywhere, and they cannot be hanged on a rope.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei relaxed a little and arched his hand: "Think about it carefully, it is me who has lost my mind a little, and please don't blame Mr." ”

"Uncle Huang," Liu Qi slapped his arm with a smile, and said with a soft expression: "There is no need to be so restless, Xu Bowen is not familiar with the place of life in Jingzhou, and he was entrusted with a heavy task just after arriving here, and it can be seen that Cao ** forced him to take office." ”

Liu Bei was stunned, "Why do you say this?" ”

"My father said," Liu Qi walked into the distance with his hands behind his back, his expression was indifferent and quite stunned, "If you are the master, you can sacrifice your subordinates and earn fame for yourself, Xu Zhen will make enemies of the Jingzhou scholars, first forcibly push this matter to the whole territory, and finally Cao Cao will take over, just transfer Xu Zhen and leave, and then reduce the strength of the new policy a little, the scholars will feel taken seriously and no longer make trouble." ”

"Reasonable," Liu Bei nodded suddenly, and several people thought that Jingzhou's current situation was like this, let Xu Zhen be a villain, and he would be late to go back to the north anyway.

"Next is Cao Cao to take over...... In this way, Xu Bowen is leaving......"

Liu Bei's heart tightened, and when he thought about it carefully, he was still a little awkward in his heart, this person was gone, and there was nowhere to vent his anger and resentment.

Of course, for the sake of the great cause, he shouldn't be so impatient at this time, Liu Bei sighed deeply and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Gao Ran sent a message from the barracks, and when he arrived in the lobby, he saw Liu Bei and his two brothers, plus a young Confucian student, and it was difficult to speak.

Liu Qi had to say "but it doesn't hurt to say it", so he dared to hold his fists and said loudly: "Someone on the east bank of the river has sent a letter, and there will be a messenger to cross the river in the near future to meet with Liu Qi's son and mourn the old lord...... The general specially asked me to inform the young master that this matter is probably not as simple as condolences. ”

"Huh?" Liu Qi and Liu Bei glanced at each other, their eyes were surprised, but slightly surprised.

"The people of Jiangdong are probably also aware of it."

Liu Bei nodded slightly.

"If you want to resist Cao's army, I'm afraid you need to unite the two sides, garrison in the horns, and help each other."

"Otherwise, Cao Cao will definitely break them one by one, but ......" Speaking of this, Liu Bei peeked at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi is still young now, but he is only in his early twenties, and it is difficult to ask him to have the same talent and mind as Xu Zhen at this age.

Liu Biao once ordered Sun Jian to be killed, although he later returned Sun Jian's body and put the blame on Yuan Shao, but Jiangdong has continued to attack Jingzhou over the years, still in the name of avenging his father.

On the one hand, this is to make the teacher famous, just like Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou back then, on the other hand, I am afraid that I really feel that my father died because of Liu Biao, and he must take revenge.

Over the years, the constant war with Jingzhou has also increased a lot of hatred, so these enemies born from the war are not so easy to reconcile, and it is still a little difficult to want the soldiers and horses of both sides to stop making peace immediately, and they are very tacit to fight each other.

"Do you know, brother, who the messenger is?"

"Like, it seems to be called Lu Su."

The man recalled, wrote the name of the messenger in his heart, and muttered it a few times as he looked at it.

The letter is still in the barracks, if you want to read it, you have to wait for Liu Qi to read it in person, because it is concise and to the point, there is not much content, and when Gao Dian is busy, he will call someone to pass on a message.

Liu Qi trusts and relies on it, which saves a lot of unnecessary etiquette, and at this time the two were stunned, Lu Su's name is not particularly loud, so they don't know much.

But Ma Jian knew.

He likes to listen to the anecdotes of scribes from all over the world at home, and the common people and merchants who travel from south to north often have some rumors flowing around the world, or he likes to go to talk, and there may be someone behind him.

After all, only by word of mouth will the fame of these people continue to rise and spread all over the world.

If a scribe wants to grow and be promoted, the most important thing is to start by publicizing his deeds to attract attention.

"Lu Su, the word is respectful, he was originally a wealthy businessman in Jiangdong, and there are thousands of villagers under his command to follow."

"This person can shoot several stone bows in his hand, break through iron armor with one arrow, and is extremely brave, but he has never been on the battlefield to fight, and he is a water thief and mountain bandit who has been killed."

Ma Yan's simple introduction has roughly made both of them understand Lu Su's identity.

Businessman is very rich...... It may be the money passed down by the family, but the status of the merchant itself is very low, and it is possible that he took advantage of the troubled times to learn Confucianism and gradually became a Confucian scholar, and then he was recommended by the conscription.

After the lieutenant general of the army left, several people sat down again and discussed the matter again.

After listening to Ma Tan's introduction in a few words, of course this Lu Su was not enough, Liu Bei made a gesture to signal him to continue.

"Lu Zijing, after studying Confucianism all these years, I don't know what his bearing, eloquence, and talent are not known, I am afraid that this needs to be known by the emperor's uncle and the son."

"However, before he entered the office, he was superb in martial arts, very good at shooting, thousands of people in the township followed, he had the bearing of a lord, and his family generously shared money and food, and he was generous."

"I heard that it was recommended by Zhou Yu and introduced him to Sun Ce, and overnight, the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan talked with him on the couch until dawn, and since then they have been in and out of their way, so that Sun Ce's temper has been suppressed, and his joy and anger are invisible."

"This ......" Liu Bei glanced at his two brothers.

I feel that the words are not true, it is a bit strange, and a few words can change Sun Ce's temper.

How good is his eloquence? And he is also a halfway scholar of Confucianism, which can't help but remind him of Xu Shu, who also escaped from the murderous murder with superb swordsmanship in his early years, and only began to visit famous teachers and learn Confucianism when he arrived in Jingzhou halfway.

In the troubled times, people from the Hanmen and Bai Ding continued to emerge, and they realized that the ladder of promotion controlled by the scholars back then had indeed stopped many great talents.

Such a person crossed the river and came, definitely not to mourn, but to show goodwill and friendship, and even to see if there was any possibility of unity.

"Childe, once a master once said to me that if you want to confront Cao Xu, you must unite with the Jiangdong Trench, repel his army, and become a full force."

"This situation, Gao Ming and his ministers can see it, not to mention that Jiangdong itself is also talented, and he must also understand that his own strength is not enough to resist the Cao army, so I guess that this Lu Zijing must have come to find out the remaining soldiers and horses we still have."

"Well, what Uncle Huang said is very true, so what does Uncle Huang plan to do now? Befriending him, or hiding it? ”

"Of course he has to make friends, if he has the heart, while Cao Xu is still in the Jingzhou clan, he can settle this matter, this is the top priority."

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow to meet this celebrity from Jiangdong for a while!" Liu Qi nodded, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Ma Yan, "I am very happy to come here as a child, and I will rely on the help of the military advisor in the future." ”

Ma Yan's chest shook and said loudly: "Please rest assured, young master!" Do your best to turn the tide of decline! ”

……

Day 2.

Lu Su crossed the river by a light boat, and Liu Bei and others greeted him at the ferry.

A middle-aged Confucian in a blue and ink robe, with a neat beard, a serene and soft complexion, and a smile on his face, bowed down.

"This should be Uncle Liu Huang, right?"

"In Xia Liu Bei, I have seen Mr. Zijing."

"Haha," Lu Su waved his hand, "Uncle Huang called me Zijing, and the word Mr. can't afford it." ”

"I came to mourn Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou for my lord, and I have written to inform me of this matter before, bringing a gift of consolation, and asking Liu Qi's son to accept it."

"The son is in Jiangxia City, and he will hold a banquet for the son."

"Okay," Lu Su nodded indifferently, not feeling strange, of course he would not come to pick up in person as a son, in Jiangxia, he was the lord.

However, it was somewhat intriguing to let Liu Bei come to see him.

"Childe is waiting in the city, ready to ...... It is to hear the name of Zijing, come to greet first, and visit the heart of the sage. ”

I see, it wasn't sent, it was he who came by himself, but if so, it was even more interesting.

"Uncle Huang, do you still know my deeds?"

"Naturally, I have heard of it, when I visited Xian in Jingzhou, I had heard about it, and I heard a few deeds last night, and I admired Zijing, and I saw you again today, and I looked forward to it more and more."

"Looking forward to what?"

Lu Su's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.

"Naturally, the two families are on good terms."

Liu Bei didn't say the latter sentence of fighting Cao together, and he only clicked to it.

Of course, Lu Su also smiled and nodded slightly, "It should be a good friend, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have been fighting for so many years, and they hate each other very deeply, and now that Liu Jingzhou is gone, there are still many people in Jiangdong who spontaneously pay tribute at home, which is embarrassing." ”

"How can you not feel the ruthlessness of the troubled times."

Lu Su and Liu Bei walked all the way, this person has a unique affinity, elegant and easy-going.

And he doesn't be reticent or wary because of his rustiness, he walks almost as usual, and if you talk to him, he will follow the conversation.

If you don't say it, you can be leisurely, and you will smile all the way, and your steps will never be the slightest bit aggressive, and you will always be very down-to-earth, this kind of person has her own bearing.

After chatting a few words, I felt very familiar with him, and there was a lot less estrangement, and even Liu Bei felt quite surprised by this ability to make friends, as if the two had been familiar before.

"What Zijing said is extremely true," Liu Bei walked with him, nodding angrily, "There are no heroes left in the past, and there are heroes in the world all coming out, and the back waves are always pushing the wave." ”

"Haha, Uncle Huang's words, but I feel that time is fleeting, and in my opinion, Uncle Huang's ambition has not yet reached the time to show it."

Lu Su said sincerely.

"How can there be, nearly half a hundred years old, the rest of your life is not long, how can it be possible to turn over after being so displaced for half a lifetime."

Liu Bei shook his head bitterly, to this day, there is still no hope in sight, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao have been defeated one after another, they are all deceased, and there are very few people who compete with Cao Cao, is it really necessary to save their lives and wait for Xu Zhen and Cao Cao to break up, so that they can have a chance to benefit from it?

"Uncle Huang doesn't need to be so pessimistic, in fact, the battle between the north and the south has not started, and my southern sailors have not had any confrontation with the northern iron cavalry, and the outcome is unknown if there is no confrontation."

"Okay, listening to Zijing's words, if you can abandon the past grudges this time and join hands to fight Cao, you may be able to make some achievements."

Liu Bei finally couldn't help it, and said this in advance, in his opinion, if he didn't say it, it was likely that Lu Su would never say it.

He could go on and on with the topic.

kept invading Liu Bei's mental defense, so it was better to simply explain everything straightforwardly, so as not to waste his tongue tactfully.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Lu Su was really serious, nodded and smiled at him, and sighed: "What Uncle Huang said is the real purpose of Zijing's visit this time." ”

"What Jiangdong wants is for Liu Qi's son to cooperate, and Jiangxia and Jiangdong will unite to have a glimmer of life."

"This is bound to be said by the imperial uncle, Zijing dares to take it, if he takes the initiative to say it, it will be too frivolous, the grudge itself is deep back then, and it is like taking the opportunity to design it if he is too active."

Liu Bei suddenly realized, "In this way, I understand, Zijing's words are indeed far-reaching, and I will advocate to Liu Qi Gongzi to unite against Cao and try my best to promote this matter." ”

"Not only that," Lu Su shook his head solemnly, stopped and grabbed Liu Bei's wrist, and said solemnly: "I still need one person to cross the river with me and negotiate in person, at least let my Jiangdong important ministers be convinced, otherwise those scholars will not dare to resist each other, and after all, they will not be able to share the same hatred and hatred, and they will truly work together." ”

Liu Bei took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly understood, and for some reason, a wave of enthusiasm actually rose again, and he began to look forward to it.

Maybe this union really has a chance to defeat the Cao army!

Yesterday there were few updates! I'm ashamed, let me explain to you that I invited guests to dinner, that is, I had to arrange relatives and friends to help with the marriage later, and then I inevitably drank some wine and fell asleep. In the next few days, it must be made up for four or five changes, and the data for seeking points (dog head life) will be made up
