On this day, Zhang Tianhe brought Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe over and said, "Last time you told me that there was a master outside the world, who was Mr. Liujiazhuang's private school, named Liu Bodu, I wanted to visit, what do you two think?" ”

"Well, that man is remarkable," Tang Dalong said, "but his shelf is a bit big." ”

"Recently, I'm thinking, since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things are inseparable from the assistance of resourceful people, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms is powerful, and there are Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other great strategists to assist him, if we don't have a great sage to assist, I'm afraid it won't work," Zhang Tianhe said, "We either don't do it, since we do it, we have to do it well, if we don't have a clear idea, a clear direction, like a headless fly, how can we do it?" ”

"The captain is right," Li Sizhe said, "That Liu Bodu, we met last time, although we didn't talk too much, but I feel that this person is indeed a brilliant mind, a hidden strategy, and an unborn hermit. ”

"Since you all say so, fast and bathe for three days, and after three days, the three of us will go to visit together with heavy gifts." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

Three days later, the three of them prepared gifts, packed up, arranged the affairs of the family, and rode to Liujiazhuang together.

Liujiazhuang.

This village is located on a half-hillside, green mountains and green waters, fresh air, beautiful environment, sparsely scattered a few families, there are three or three farmers laughing, carrying hoes to work in the field, they greet each other warmly when they meet, as if this place has been far away from the smoke of gunpowder, the trouble of bandits, giving people a feeling of too peace and happiness, no quarrel with the world, paradise.

The three of them turned over and dismounted, led the horses, and walked with a stride.

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at the window of Mr. Liu's private school.

That is, two ordinary thatched houses, Liu Bodu is reading aloud with a dozen children: "Zi said: Isn't it pleasant to learn and learn? ”

The children also read aloud: "Zi said: Isn't it pleasant to learn and learn it?" ”

"Zi said: Friends come from afar, are you happy?"

The children read aloud again: "Zi said: Friends come from afar, are you happy? "Wait.

The children's voice is loud, how far it goes.

Zhang Tianhe closed his eyes and listened quietly in front of the window, feeling very intoxicated, as if he had returned to his innocent and unworried childhood.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a class is over, Mr. Liu walked out of the private school, and said with a smile: "I saw that today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, so I was thinking, could it be that there are distinguished guests visiting today?" It's not bad! ”

Zhang Tianhe opened his eyes and looked carefully, this person was in his thirties, medium height, dressed in a green cloth robe, although his figure was not burly, but he was sturdy, dignified, calm and relaxed, and when he spoke, he was not in a hurry.

Zhang Tianhe, Tang Dalong, and Li Sizhe hurriedly came over to salute him.

"This is Zhang—" Tang Dalong just wanted to introduce Zhang Tianhe to him.

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be Zhang Tianhe, Captain Zhang, right?" Liu Bodu interrupted him with a smile.

When the three of them heard it, they were all stunned, but they didn't expect that people had already guessed it.

"It is in the next place, Mr. has always been good, and the sky is so polite. I came to visit today, there are many abruptness, and I hope to forgive my sins! ”

"Captain Zhang doesn't have to be polite, I've heard of Captain Zhang's prestige for a long time, and I'm lucky to see it today, and I'm fortunate to have three lives!" Liu Bodu smiled and said, "Three of you, please follow me to the cold house." ”

Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe felt a little strange when they saw that today, Mr. Liu was not as big as last time.

A group of four people came to the door of Liu Du's house, Zhang Tianhe asked Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe to present the gifts they brought, but Mr. Liu was not polite and accepted all the orders.

Zhang Tianhe said to Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe: "You two go out for a walk, and I will talk to Mr. Liu alone." ”

"Yes!" So they went out for a walk.

Zhang Tianhe saw that Mr. Liu's house was a thatched cottage, although it was simple, it was very clean and tidy, the windows were open, and the breeze blew in from the outside, but it also made people feel comfortable.

Liu Bodu made a cup of tea for Zhang Tianhe, and the two sat down separately.

"Mr. Jiuwen is a contemporary master, full of reading scriptures and history, has a good strategy, has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and the strategy of governing the country and the country. Zhang Tianhe said first.

"Captain Zhang, you are laughing, at best, you are only a private school gentleman, how dare you talk about national affairs in front of you?" Liu Bodu said humbly.

"Sir doesn't have to be too modest, I heard that the deep mountains hide tigers and leopards, the fields bury unicorns, often some real masters, are hidden in the deep mountains and old forests," Zhang Tianhe said, "For example, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period is ploughing in Nanyang, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, asked him to go out of the mountain, with his assistance, Liu Bei has to establish Xishu, one of the three points of the world, the sky and not talented, dare not compare themselves with the ancients, but, my great country has been invaded by foreign powers one after another, and now it is even more banditry, the people are not living, and the people are in dire straits, I don't think every aspiring Chinese wants to see such a sight either. ”

"Captain Zhang's heart of worrying about the country and the people makes his subordinates awe-inspired," Liu Bodu said, "Since this is the case, then, I will have the courage to say a few more words in front of Captain Zhang." ”

"Sir, please speak, listen to me."

"Well, let's start with the current situation, since Yehenala Xingzhen, that is, the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, foreign powers, invaded again and again, in 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government was defeated, and later, the Qing army lost on the Korean battlefield, one after another, and the Beiyang Naval Division suffered a serious setback in the battle of the Yellow Sea, on February 7 of the following year, Weihai Weiri ships and batteries attacked Liugong Island, the Beiyang Naval Division was annihilated, and the two battlefields of China's sea and land were defeated, so, At the same time, China gave up its status as the suzerainty of Korea, paid 200 million taels of silver, ceded the Liaodong Peninsula, Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands, opened four treaty ports, and allowed Japan to open mines and factories in treaty ports. ”

"It's really a great disgrace to the country!" When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, since Pangu opened the world, we descendants of Yan and Huang have never been insulted like this," Liu Bodu said, "such a national shame, every Chinese must bear in mind!" ”
