After sending spies to inquire about Guo Jia's situation, Liu Jian had nothing important to do for the time being, so he talked to the two virtuous people in Luoyang.

Both of these people are now under Lu Zhi's rule, one is Zhang Ji, and the other is Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao had known Liu Jian for a long time.

At that time, Dong Zhao had also reached an agreement with Liu Jian, and when he had the opportunity in the future, Liu Jian would recommend him to the court.

As for the other Zhang Ji, after this thousand-mile attack on Luoyang, he deeply admired Liu Jian's ability, and intended to serve under Liu Jian through Lu Zhi's door.

For Zhang Ji, Liu Jian is also very optimistic, after all, this person has a very great reputation in history and has contributed indelible strength to Cao Wei Group.

The word "famous minister", he deserves it.

"De Jong, Gongren, both of you are the best people in the world, and it is a great blessing that you are willing to return to my command this time."

After that, Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhao: "In the past, I met with Gongren, it was the ambition of Gongren's life, Gongren's ambition was in the temple, I promised sooner or later, I would recommend Gongren to enter the court, this time is the right time, when the prime minister of the dynasty intends to move westward, consolidate the territory of Xizhou for the Han Dynasty, and open up business channels. ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhao hurriedly thanked him.

Liu Jian looked at Zhang Jian on the side again: "Listen to the teacher, although De Jong is young, he is well-known and famous, and he can be described as a talented person in governing the state and county, but I want to know, what is De Jong's ambition?" Is it in the court like Gongren, or is it in the place? ”

Zhang Ji pondered for a moment, Fang said: "Back to the general, although the last official is rich in the family, but he is from the Han family, he was fortunate to have worshiped Mr. Xuande when he was young, and then he had to be recommended by You Gong to enter the office, so he had the opportunity to get ahead, and the teacher once said to me, with my Yunwen Yunwu ability, and whether it is the background, ability and family connections, we should take the governance of the place, pacify the riots as their own responsibility, and need to take the road of military strategy and governance. ”

"Therefore, the last officer is determined to be in the place."

Mr. Xuande in Zhang Ji's mouth is a famous scholar Fa Zhen in Yi County, Youfufeng County, and You Gong who recommended him to join the office is You Yin, and in the past it was Feng Yijun Gongcao.

Liu Jian nodded, Zhang was born in a poor family, and his ambitions in his heart were naturally different from ordinary high-ranking scholars...... In history, Zhang was both vertical and horizontal, made immortal contributions, and was a famous minister of the Great Wei Dynasty.

It can be said that this is a hero who has been ignored by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"De Rongguo has high ambitions, I heard that before Liu arrived in Luoyang, you went to visit Dong Xiangguo as an envoy and was solicited by him, but is there such a thing?"

Zhang Ji showed disdain: "This is indeed the case." ”

Liu Jianyan said: "In this case, I recommend you to the imperial court, how about governing Liangzhou?" ”

When Zhang heard this, he was shocked.

He hurriedly said: "Dong Zhuo is just a Liangzhou tiger wolf, how can he serve him?" I admire the general as a human being, and I am like-minded, how did the general chase me from the side of the tiger and wolf? ”

Liu Jian said to him very seriously: "De Rong's words are wrong, the court is the court, Dong Zhuo is Dong Zhuo, I don't recommend you to go to Dong Zhuo as a staff member, but to recommend you to go to Chang'an to govern Liangzhou!" You have to remember that you are going to serve the imperial court, not Dong Zhuo. ”

Zhang Ji said in a low voice: "That's not the same, you have to do things under Liangzhou Mangfu...... I was unwilling. ”

"De Jong, how can you think like that?" Liu Jian's face was quite unhappy.

"You and I are both Hanchen, and we should support the Han family to repay the country's kindness! Whether Dong Zhuo is from Liangzhou or the Central Plains, as long as what he is doing now is beneficial to the Han Dynasty and the world, then you and I, as Hanchen, should support it, how can we disdain to be with him because he was born in a bitter cold land? Could it be that the world of the Han Dynasty is used by you to show your own false name? ”

"If you still have such naïve ideas, I'm afraid that Liu's command will have no place for you to stand."

When Zhang heard this, his face showed shame.

He stood up and bowed to Liu Jian: "What the general taught is that the last official is shallow. ”

Liu Jian said: "Today's imperial court is in Chang'an, and Liangzhou belongs to the west of Chang'an, there are many people who have made rebellion, and the Qiang people have repeatedly rebelled, but it is also the barrier of the capital to the west, and it is the only way for my Han to trade with the countries of the Western Regions and promote the Han Dynasty." ”

"Now that Dong Zhuo has intentions in the west, I think this is a God-given opportunity for you to use force, if De Rong can make contributions in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, quell the rebellion, enrich the households, maintain the people, and open up the way of commerce and trade, then in the history of the Han Dynasty, there will be a heavy stroke of your De Rong."

"You need to know that the times make heroes!"

"The times make heroes ......"

Zhang Ji silently recited it, and his face showed a look of enlightenment.

"The general's words made the last official suddenly open his mouth, and implore the general to recommend me to the court, I am willing to go to Liangzhou and establish meritorious service for the Han Dynasty!"

After a pause, he heard Zhang Jiyan say: "The next day, when the general enters the court, the last official will definitely present a different Liangzhou to the general!" ”

Liu Jian sighed with emotion: "Strong! ”

……

……

At this moment, on Luyang's side, a young man in his twenties who had just reached the crown came to Yuan Shao under the recommendation of Guo Tu.

This person is Yingchuan Yangzhai people, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao.

At a young age, he had a fair face but a little thin, a thin figure, and a weak figure, as if the wind could blow him away.

Yuan Shao's first reaction when he saw Guo Jia was - how could he be so young?

But it was precisely because of Guo Jia's youth that Yuan Shao felt a little disdainful in his heart.

How capable can a person of this age be?

Although the Yingchuan Guo clan is a wealthy family, there are many branches in the clan, Guo Tu is from this lineage, but his younger brother Guo Jia's house is afraid that he can only be regarded as the last in his clan.

But Yuan Shao's self-cultivation is still there after all, and he patiently asked Guo Jiadao: "You are Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Guo Jia, a white-bodied man, meet Yuan Gong." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "In the past, Gong Ze once said to me, you were a companion in his camp, and he once said to Gong Ze that when I was in Sizhou, I would either join Liu Jian or Dong Zhuo, defeat either of them, and then divide Sizhou equally with the other side?" ”

Guo Jia said: "That's right. ”

Yuan Shao's face was straight, and he said: "However, do you know that Liu Jian kidnapped my nephew, and slandered me in the past, I once secretly befriended him, but he was so bad that I was in trouble, and Dong Zhuo was the murderer of my uncle and my brother!" The hatred is as deep as the sea, how can I be with it for the sake of momentary gain? You're wrong. ”

Guo Jia listened to Yuan Shao's stern reprimand, and was not afraid, but said: "Capturing Sizhou now is not the best time for the general. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his complexion seemed to improve.

He asked: "Brother Ru, Yan You are a genius in the world, not comparable to leisure, and his wisdom is far-reaching, and he is far from it. ”

"That being the case, then let me ask you, if Yuan wants to be dominant in the world, what should he do to Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian?"

In the face of Yuan Shao's inquiry, Guo Jia said calmly: "According to a certain point of view, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong, and there is the orthodoxy of the imperial court, Liu Jian is powerful, like the rising sun, and Yuan Gong is in the south of the border. ”

"What?"

Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "Show weakness? The gate of the fourth generation and the third prince of Yuan, my Yuan's former officials are all over the world, so where are Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo from? You actually let me show weakness to the other? Don't say anything else! Just said that Dong thief and I have a grudge against the door, how can Yuan show weakness to them?! ”

Guo Jia replied unhurriedly: "Why can't you show weakness?" In the past, Yue Wangjian fought with Wu Wangfu, was defeated, and retained on Huiji Mountain, which made the doctor's literary pursuit in Wu. ”

"The king of Yue wears a calf's nose, wears the clothes of the woodjack lady, and Shi Zuoguan's shirt. The husband cuts and raises the horses, and the wife gives water, removes dung, and sprinkles and sweeps. Three years without anger, no hatred on the face. ”

"If the husband is sick, practice to taste the husband's difference, and decide the good luck."

"After the end of the Wu, the husband died with a sword."

"Today, Yuan Gongyong is not as good as Dong Zhuo, he is not as strong as Liu Jian, and the degree of bending is far less than Yue Wang Jian can sit on the world, how can he not do it?"

Yuan Shao's face became more and more ugly: "Enough!" ”

"Yuan's dignified husband, how can he be weaker than Dong Zhuo, Liu Jian and others?"

"I thought you had a talent, but now I hear what I say, but it's just a stream of mediocrity!"

"It's not enough to talk about Coats!"

After saying that, he saw Yuan Shao turn his head to look at the guards beside him: "Give him hardware and send it away!" ”

Guo Jia carefully observed Yuan Shao's expression, and when he saw that the other party was speaking, he was really angry, and he was indeed angry, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"It's not my lord."
