Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Road Is Difficult, Tsing Yi Enters the City (5K)
On the official road outside of Yang Zhai, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei, who was sitting on the back of the Shadow Horse, and could not hide his joy since he returned that day.
"Xuande, could it be that you encountered any happy events when you were in Yangzhai?" Lu Zhi asked with a smile.
Liu Bei said a little about the events of that day to Lu Zhi, and naturally he omitted such things as collecting jujubes.
Lu Zhi nodded, "Guo Gong is the son of a local wealthy family, so it is not uncommon for him to act like this. Over the years, I have traveled from south to north, and many of the sons of families I have seen are like this. Among the family, the rich place is self-sufficient, and it is natural to put the home in front of the country, which is not a new thing. ”
"Such a person, it is good to use it normally, but if you work for others, I am afraid that one day the family and the country will be in a dilemma, but it will hinder its master. But what you said about the jujube is only a little interesting, the reader has always regarded the name of merit as a bag, and there are few people who are willing to bend over and look down at the fields under their feet. ”
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Master Lu is high, and Bei also thinks so." I was delighted to see the heroic characters. ”
Lu Zhi suddenly smiled, "Have you to see Haojie?" Although the heroes of the world do not care about their backgrounds, most of the heroes in the world actually come from rich families of poetry and books. ”
"Xuande, remember that I once told you that I had many friends in Yuzhou. Correspondence is still frequent. This time, you and I will definitely meet many old people from the past. Let's move forward, but it's Yingyin. ”
"Ying Yin Xun Clan?" Liu Bei's hand holding the reins tightened, "I don't think Lu Shi's old friend is actually the Xun family." ”
Lu Zhi leaned back on the horse, raised his head slightly, and looked at the scorching sun, the sun was scorching, scorching people's eyes.
"The Xun family is famous all over the world. When I was studying in the Quartet, I went to Gaoyangli with Zheng Xuan to visit the Xun family. The eight dragons of the Xun family, Zheng Xuan and Ciming are the most compatible. ”
The Xun family lived in Yingyin, and when Xun Shu was even more famous, he was called the Divine Monarch. This person even left a legend of a real person traveling east with Chen Yu, although this statement is not credible, but Xun Shu is so important at the time.
Xun Shu has eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons, all of whom are famous. At that time, the county commander Yuankang even changed the name of Xihaoli, where they lived, to Gaoyangli based on the allusion that there were eight talented people in Gaoyang in ancient times.
Among the eight people, Xun Shuang is the most famous, known as Xun's Eight Dragons Ciming.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "When I was in Luoyang, I had heard the name of Xun Gong for a long time, and the people of Luoyang passed Xun Gong to his gods, and it seemed that he had already passed on the ghosts and gods."
"Xun Ciming naturally doesn't understand ghosts and gods, and people in the world like to spread falsehoods, which has always been the case." Lu Zhi smiled when he heard this, "But in my opinion, this person is not like an ordinary scholar. ”
Seeing that Liu Bei was a little puzzled, Lu Zhi smiled and said: "In the past, Zhang Rang's father died and was buried in Yingchuan, a county is complete, although it is extremely rich and luxurious, but there are many scholars in Yingchuan, but no one goes, Zhang Rang hates it." Only Chen Zhonggong went to mourn and was criticized by the world. However, although eunuchs are still rampant in the world, they are forgiving to the land of Yingchuan. In my opinion, Xun Ciming is quite similar to Chen Zhonggong. Can endure humiliation, can bend over. ”
"Then I don't know who the old friend Lu Shi is talking about?" Liu Bei asked.
Lu Zhi has always been rigid, and now he has such an evaluation of Xun Shuang, I think most of it is not speculative with Xun Shuang. So who is Lu Zhi's friend?
Lu Zhi said with a smile: "What is this person's surname, and the word is begging." is also a heroic figure in the world, if you work righteousness, you would rather bend than bend, and fight for the world, even if it is me, it is far inferior. ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard the name of this person, and then thought of being in Yingchuan at this time, he suddenly remembered this person, it turned out to be the person who first praised Xun Yu for having "Wang Zuo's talent".
"I heard that Boqiu is also here, so I think we can meet each other. Xuande, the Xun family is a famous family in the world, and I heard that this generation is also quite a talented person when I was in Luoyang. I think you'll be able to see a few of them today. Lu Zhi said with a smile.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly, the younger generation of Xun Jiazi, I am afraid that he knows more than Lu Zhi.
…………
On the official road outside Yingyin City, there are old people who have been waiting for a long time.
Since he is an old man, he naturally knows Lu Zhi's temperament, and knows that since he is here for business, he will definitely not take the initiative to stop the trip and go to Yingyin. Therefore they counted the distance, and they deliberately met here today.
Three people are in the front, and several people are in the back.
The person in front on the left, no one behind him, tall, looking forward to the flying spirit, although he is wearing a Confucian shirt, but it is quite a lot of majestic energy.
This person is the Nanyang He Hao He Boqiu in Lu Zhi's mouth.
In the past, he had an old man who was sick and was dying, and he went to see him, and the old man had a father's revenge that had not been avenged, and he cried and complained. He Hao felt his righteousness, avenged it, and buried his grave with the head of the enemy.
The person on He Hao's left hand is much more elegant than him, although he is a little thin, but his eyebrows are soft, which makes people want to be close to him.
This person is Xun's Eight Dragons, Xun Ciming, who is incomparable in Ciming.
Behind Xun Shuang, there was another young man and a young man.
The young man was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his expression was wooden, not like a clever person.
This person's name is Xun You.
The young man beside Xun You is in a good posture, looking at it, if he gets closer, he can still smell the faint incense on this person.
This person is also very famous in today's Xun family.
The boy's name is Xun Yu.
The person on Xun Shuang's left hand is a short-bearded shirt, which seems ordinary, but there are a few traces of essence flashing in his eyes, and his person is even more harsh.
This person is the son of Chen Yu, Chen Ji.
There was also a young man standing behind Chen Ji, this person was different from Xun Yu, his expression was quite jumping, he was peeking around, and at first glance he was a clever person.
The boy is the son of Chen Ji, Chen Qun.
The square inch on the side of the road is gathered together two famous families in Yingchuan.
He Hao stood impatiently for a long time, and didn't care about the dust on the ground, sat on the ground casually, and complained, "Lu Zi has done a great job!" Knowing that we will wait to see him here, if you don't come quickly, I'll forget if you neglect me, you two are Yingchuan Gaomen. It's not that I'm talkative, he really doesn't put you in his eyes, if I were you, I would definitely give him a dismount later. I want him to see the majesty of the famous family in Yingchuan. ”
Xun Shuang and Chen Ji glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.
He Hao is such a muddy person, although he is a scholar, he is more righteous and willful.
Xun Shuang said with a smile: "On the closeness of the relationship with Zigan, I'm afraid that no one present can compare to you, why don't you help us out later?"
"Ci Ming is not bad, don't you He Boqiu like negative qi the most, and the road is uneven? Now is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself in the world, beat him Lu Zigan, and I think you will soon be famous all over the world. Chen Ji also said with a smile, he is a person who watches the excitement, so he is naturally not afraid of big things.
He Hao sighed, "You don't want to provoke me, if I hadn't made a move, I wouldn't have been his opponent for Lu Zigan, just his temper, I would have taught him a lesson." ”
Lu Zhi is not a weak scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, and his swordsmanship is far above those rangers and heroes in the market, especially because he is good at soldiers, and he is not close to him.
Xun Shuang smiled: "Judging from the previous message, it seems that Lu Zigan also brought a student this time?" He has been alone for so many years, and the student he values this time doesn't know what is special, and he is also a very person. ”
"Most of the people he values have the same temper as him, otherwise how could he be with him with his temperament?" He Hao smiled: "He must be a stubborn person, but I am somewhat interested."
He turned his head to look at the Yingchuan talents behind the two, "I don't know how to compare to our Yingchuan talents." ”
…………
While a few people were chatting, several riders came from the north.
The person who immediately took the lead was none other than Lu Zhi.
Everyone turned over and dismounted, and Lu Zhi took Liu Bei to greet He Hao and the others.
"What virtue is planted, there are long-term marquis!" Lu Zhi laughed.
He Hao waved his hand, with a look of disgust, "Don't be sentimental, who is waiting for you Lu Zigan, we are waiting here, just curious about the disciple you brought, let us come out quickly, let us meet." ”
The two are old friends, and He Hao's words are not polite at all.
Lu Zhi smiled, stepped to the side, and flashed Liu Bei behind him, "This son is Zhi's student, Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County." ”
Then, he also introduced He Hao and others to Liu Bei opposite.
Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged and he saluted calmly.
He Hao stared at him and looked at him carefully, "The kid is not bad, when he saw Xun Chen's two big men at once, his face remained the same, and he would definitely have some success in the future, so he couldn't say that he was a little Lu Zigan again." ”
Lu Zhi's students, no matter what, can be regarded as scholars, they shouldn't know the names of Xun and Chen, and now they are so indifferent, they must have seen some of the world.
Liu Bei gave a deep salute and said with a smile: "Then thank you to Gong He for preparing for fame."
He Hao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It seems that you don't look like Lu Zigan's student, but more like another kid I met when I was in Luoyang, that kid was very stubborn at that time, and he was a flying eagle lackey with the Yuan family brothers all day long, only me and Qiao Gong were optimistic about him, and now he is the northern lieutenant of Luoyang." ”
"Cao Beibei also knows each other." Liu Bei smiled.
The people in Yingchuan stood here and waited for him, naturally it was not him Liu Bei, so Liu Bei retreated behind Lu Zhi after seeing the salute.
While Lu Zhi was catching up with a few people, he had time to look at Xun Yu and a few people.
Xun You's face was wooden, and he didn't have the slightest hint of sinister and treacherous air at all.
Xun Yu is still young now, but his face is indifferent between his eyebrows, and he already has the demeanor of a future generation of famous ministers.
Chen Qun raised his eyes and looked a little cunning.
Several people also saw Liu Bei staring at them, and turned their eyes to Liu Bei.
For a while, Liu Bei faced the gaze of the three Cao Wei ministers in the future, and his heart moved slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
He also gave a smile to the people on the other side who thought they were extremely gentle.
…………
This time, Lu Zhi came for official business, so naturally he couldn't stay longer. After the greetings were over, he took Liu Bei and others on the horse and continued to go south.
He Hao and the others stood in place and watched them go away.
"Ciming, what do you think of this son?" He Hao asked with a smile.
The son in his mouth naturally refers to Liu Bei, who came with Lu Zhi.
Xun Shuang groaned slightly, "Although this son doesn't say much, what you just said is not bad, this person is not like Lu Zigan's disciples." ”
Lu Zhi is upright, Xun Shuang's words are naturally Liu Bei's good response.
He Hao was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Chen Ji, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”
"This person is not like a son of a family, but since his surname is Liu, and he is from the same place as Lu Zigan, he must be the queen of the Han family." Chen Ji pointed out one point.
"However, although it is not much after the Han family, it is not a small amount, and with Lu Zigan's temperament, he should not accept this person as an apprentice for this reason. Thinking about it, this person must have some other skills. Chen Ji shook his head again.
He Hao smiled, "I think this person is a little interesting." Nowadays, I am only optimistic about a few people among the younger generation, needless to say the juniors of your Xun Chen family. In fact, there were only two people left, but today there is one more. ”
Xun Shuang said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that you are good at knowing people, when it comes to this, you are not under the general Xu Zi of Runan, and it is a rare thing to be favored by you."
"I heard that you had a lot of friends with that Yuan Benchu when you were in Luoyang, and I think one of them is Yuan Benchu, who is now faintly known as a model in the world. The other person, if my guess is correct, it should be the current northern lieutenant of Luoyang mentioned by you and Liu Bei, Cao Cao Cao Mengde. It's just that I don't know who Boqiu is most optimistic about among several people? ”
"Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unique. Sure enough, there is no name for nothing. He Hao smiled, "But how can this kind of thing be done accurately, life experiences are different, I am good, Xu Shao is good, the heroic talents who are valued by us are ambitious today, and they may die between the ravines tomorrow, who can say accurately?" In the final analysis, the so-called fate and fortune are in their own hands after all. ”
He turned around and waved his hand at a few people, "It's a matter of time, I still have to rush to Luoyang." Gentlemen, if you are lucky, you can see each other in the future. And each of them is precious. ”
Chen Xun and the others did not say anything to stay, they are all acquaintances, what kind of person He Hao is, they naturally know very well.
Fight for righteousness, and die without regard for your body.
He Hao laughed loudly and walked away, "It's all gone, I'm going to be very stable, and it's not Jing Qing's other easy water, I don't need to be seen by you." ”
Waiting until He Hao walked away, Xun Shuang spoke, "Actually, I am a little envious of He Boqiu, this life is so happy, what more can I ask for?" ”
"Ciming, you and I are destined not to be such people." Chen Ji sighed.
Is it hard to die generously? It's not hard.
It is easy to die alone, and it is difficult to die for the whole family.
The two of them said a few more words and went their separate ways.
Walking on the way back to Gaoyangli, Xun Shuang suddenly turned his head to look at Er Xun behind him.
"What do you two think Liu Bei is like this person?"
Xun Yu was silent, he has always been a cautious person, and he has only met Liu Bei once today, so it is difficult to draw conclusions.
"I think that this person will most likely be able to achieve great things in the future." Xun You said.
Xun Shuang glanced at Xun You in surprise.
Among the Xun family, Xun Yu's reputation has always been inferior to Xun Yu.
It's not that Xun Yu's talent is inferior to Xun Yu, but that Xun Yu is good at hiding clumsy.
At that time, the Xun family had eight dragons, he and Xun Jing had a good name, Xu Zijiang had a saying, Ci Ming is bright, and Shu Ci is inside.
Now the same is true for Xun Yu and the others.
If you talk about the wisdom of people, Xun You may not be under He Hao and Xu Zijiang.
Xun Shuang smiled when he heard this: "Being able to get such an evaluation from Gongda makes me look forward to this person a little more, and I want to know what will happen to this person in the future."
…………
Now that Liu Bei, who has already settled in Xingting, naturally doesn't know what everyone is talking about him.
He only knew that Lu Shi was very angry now.
It turned out that the Lujiang barbarians were now rebelling more and more, and they had actually broken through several county towns one after another.
Now the stagecoach is constantly coming and going, full of letters to enter Luoyang for help.
Lu Zhi slapped his palm on the wooden table in front of him, and the wooden table began to sway from side to side.
"Why is Master Lu so angry? Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose your city and land, you can take it back in the future. Liu Bei persuaded.
"One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. This time, the thieves are just a rabble, and it is not difficult to win. It's a pity that these successive cities all surrendered without a fight, which made the thieves bigger, and there are thousands of people today! ”
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Master Lu, the disciple is fast, it is better to take the first step and rush to Shu County, and ask them to organize the military horses as soon as possible." When the Lu division arrives, he can immediately lead the army to quell the chaos. ”
Lu Zhi glanced at him, was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, Xuande can take the first step and ask them to prepare the military horses."
He picked up the pen and wrote a letter on the bamboo slip, "Xuande can take me to pass this letter to the Zhou family in Lujiang to find Zhou Liu." This person is my deceased, and the Zhou family is a wealthy family in Lujiang, so he will definitely help. ”
Liu Bei nodded, took the handbook and letter handed over by Lu Zhi, and put it in his arms.
"Without further ado, then we're ready to go."
He turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Zhi shouted behind him, "Xuande, be careful." ”
Liu Bei turned his head and looked back, Lu Zhi, who had been extremely upright since he first met, actually had a somewhat weak attitude, thinking that he regarded him as a real disciple.
Liu Bei rubbed his somewhat sour nose and said with a smile: "Master Lu, don't worry, be prepared."
He went straight out, went to the stable, led the horse, and headed straight south.
Lu Zhi walked to the door and watched him leave, but he was speechless.
The falcon always has to test its wings before it can soar into the sky in the future.
…………
Liu Bei traveled all the way south, and on the way, he encountered a lot of messengers.
After careful inquiry, he learned that it was now connected by those thieves, and at this time, there were only two cities away from the border of the Lujiang River.
Hearing the news, he stayed in place for a long time, and after a while, he touched the Jueying who sat down, and said to himself, "Jueying, today is a great time for you and me to make contributions, and I ask you, are you willing to fight for a future with me!" If not, words are! ”
The shadow ploughed the ground with its hooves and hissed.
"Sure enough, it's a good horse who knows my heart, and if you don't speak, then let's fight."
Liu Bei turned the horse's head, his heart was full of pride, tightened the reins, and went south.
…………
In Yangquan City, the people in the city are already in chaos.
In front of this city, there is only one city in Tatexian County, and now I don't know how many days it can hold on.
If Tateshi County falls, it will probably be their turn next.
And in the twilight of this day.
A seat of Tsing Yi came into the city.
