Chapter 511: At the end of the road, the highway enters Xuzhou
Wang Yue took a group of his disciples and took the carriage that Liu Jian personally equipped for him, and went to Feiru County to meet Liu Jian.
As soon as they met, Liu Jian was stunned.
Wang Yue's appearance does not seem to be worthy of his reputation as the number one swordsman in the world.
To be honest, Wang Yue's appearance is very ordinary, his figure is not tall, and his white and black hair makes him look a little haggard.
It is not so much that he is a world-famous swordsman, but that he is an ordinary farmer who runs a small business in the township.
However, after a short period of stunned, Liu Jian's heart suddenly rose with joy.
That's what he wants.
The members of the dark department he wants to cultivate will inevitably carry out assassination, poisoning, or all kinds of shady tasks among various hostile forces in the future.
If these members all have the aura of a great sword hero all over their bodies, hmm...... Then the establishment of this organization is bound to fail.
And Wang Yue's state is somewhat back to basics.
A person who is really capable and capable is thrown in the pile, but people can't find it...... What Liu Jian needs is countless such people.
"Why is the prince late?"
Liu Jian smiled as he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yue's hand.
Wang Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"The old decay is just a mountain and a wild people, one does not know the army, and the other does not know politics, how dare you come to the general? Coming here today, it's still fast. β
Liu Jian pulled Wang Yue into the hall, and said with a smile as he walked: "I regard the prince as a genius in the world, and with the ability of the prince, he is worth hundreds of people under my account, how can the prince be humble?" β
Subsequently, Liu Jian asked Wang Yue to summon six of his disciples in.
These six disciples are all orphans adopted by Wang Yue since childhood, and after Wang Yue's introduction, Liu Jian knew that these people had received Wang Yue's true inheritance.
It's just that among these six disciples, there is no Shi A, it seems that he is not learning art by Wang Yue's side now.
What is even more commendable is that among Wang Yue's disciples, there are still two women.
This made Liu Jian very happy, which showed that Wang Yue could not only train men to use swords, but also women's martial arts.
Whether in ancient or modern times, the value and role of a female assassin and informant with unique skills are much stronger than those of men.
There are many places that male intelligence agents can't enter, things they can't do, information they can't hear, and people they can't assassinate...... Changing to a woman is fine.
There's no way, this is the natural advantage that gender brings them, and the big men can't compare.
Subsequently, Liu Jian held a banquet and invited Wang Yue and his six disciples to drink.
Perhaps because of the requirements for kendo, Wang Yue and his disciples didn't drink much.
After eating for a while, Liu Jian said that he wanted to hire Wang Yue as a teacher.
It's just that in front of Wang Yue's six disciples, Liu Jian didn't say directly what he asked Wang Yue to be a teacher and teach the students swordsmanship.
After listening to Liu Jianzhi's invitation, Wang Yue stroked his beard and frowned slightly.
He seemed to vaguely understand Liu Jian's intentions.
"Thanks to the general's wrong love, the old man is grateful, but the old man wants to ask the general, the sword of the world, there are two swords of Zhengqi, and the general has soldiers who want to learn the sword, is it the sword of the right way, or the way of the sword of the strange sword?"
Liu Jian asked, "What is the sword of the righteous path?" β
Wang Yue said seriously: "The way of the sword is like the way of the sword, the mountain of Chijin breaks out of the tin, the stream of Ruoye dries up and comes out of the copper, the rain master sprinkles and sweeps, the thunder gong beats the drum, too much to watch, the heavenly spirit is right!" β
"What is a strange sword?"
Wang Yue didn't answer, he just let out a long sigh.
Then I saw him wave his hand to the six disciples behind him, and said, "Wait outside the hall." β
The six disciples were very obedient, and then they took their leave, got up and walked out.
After the six disciples walked down, Wang Yue stood up and made a long gesture at Liu Jian.
"The old man knows what the general thinks, and since the general has asked about the way of the strange sword, it means that what the general wants Wang to train is not a swordsman but a ...... Assassin. β
Liu Jian said with a smile: "Kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for thousands of miles, go to the clothes after the incident, and hide your body and fame...... I would like to ask the prince to help the people I teach, and that is the kind of person I teach. β
Wang Yue sighed softly.
What a sentence that hides merit and fame, it is really apt to describe it!
Sure enough, he is the Lord of Good Thoughts!
Seeing Wang Yue's hesitation, Liu Jian asked, "The prince is unwilling?" β
Wang Yue said very sincerely: "If it were ten years ago, Wang might not have wanted to, but now...... The soldier died for his confidant, and only because the general treated Wang so seriously, Wang seemed to be unable to refuse. β
Liu Jian stood up and walked to Wang Yue's side, he took his hand and said earnestly: "If the prince is unwilling, I will not force it, but what the prince said is wrong, Liu asked the prince to help me train not an assassin, but a national warrior of my Han Dynasty." β
"The prince has been living in Hebei all these years, so he naturally knows what the government that Jian has done in Hebei all these years is for."
"In Liu's heart, what he carries is not self-interest, only the people of my Han Dynasty!"
"It's just to govern the world and fight against foreign hu, and only righteousness is a single thing, but it's far from enough."
"If there can be a miracle who can determine the world with the advantage of a sword, then why should he exchange the lives of thousands of people on the battlefield for this victory?"
"It's obviously just a sword skill, but it can leave the lives of ten thousand people, why doesn't Liu use this sword skill? And do you want to do the thing that will make all the bones dry? β
"The prince needs to know that the person Liu is now asking the prince to cultivate, although he is not a righteous hero of the sword warrior, but he is also a supreme warrior who can save the lives of thousands of people every time he swings a sword!"
"Dare to ask the prince, can this kind of feat be strong compared to cultivating a righteous path sword? Is it precious? Can it be admired by the world? β
Although there is a suspicion of foolishness in these words, it is indeed a matter of facts, and it is a big truth.
This is where Liu Jian is powerful, what kind of big truth can be said in his mouth.
And these words raised Wang Yue's height all of a sudden, and improved his cognitive positioning of himself.
Wang Yue has lived a long time, and now for him, gold and silver goods, even fame are not so important.
What he lacks now is a sense of being recognized.
After all, he is the number one swordsman in the world, and he has been neglected by the world for a little too long.
obviously has a great reputation, but it is not taken seriously.
This feeling is like not being able to let out a fart, which is extremely uncomfortable.
And now, Liu Jian has almost pulled him to the height of a saint, although he is somewhat deliberately touted, but what Liu Jian said makes sense, how can you make Wang Yue unhappy?
The people he teaches, a sword can save the lives of thousands of people, looking at the world, I'm afraid that no one can do more than his Wang Yue's teachings, right?
What about those who claim to be the sages of scripture?
What if they teach as many protΓ©gΓ©s as they do?
Can they save thousands of people at once?
They pit 10,000 people!
"Hehehehe."
"Thanks to the general's wrong love, how can Wang have a reason not to be loyal to the country and not do his best for the people of the world?"
"What will the general command in the future, and who do you want Wang to teach, just ask."
"Wang must use all his efforts, even if it is a rotten wood, he must carve it into the world's good materials."
Liu Jian said with satisfaction: "It is a great fortune for the country to have the words of the prince, and Liu has thanked the prince of the Han dynasty." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In Hebei, the four states were pacified, and the states and Youzhou were prosperous, and the foreign races were used by the Han people, and the labor force surged, and it was thriving.
And the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong are using troops in Xiliang, striving to create a cause that will be passed on to future generations.
Yuan Shao of Jingzhou is uniting with Yuan Yi and actively exerting force in Shuzhong, striving to connect Jingzhou and Yizhou as a whole.
And Cao Cao in Jiangdong is also learning from Liu Jian, vigorously rectifying Yangzhou's internal affairs, reusing the cold door, establishing commerce and trade, meritocracy, and cultivating Tuntian...... At the same time, he sent people to Hebei to inspect and secretly study the water conservancy technology constructed by the Hebei Technology Agency along the Yellow River, actively enrich the people, and prepare to target Shanyue......
It can be said that these people are now working hard to govern the people's livelihood within their respective jurisdictions, and what they do is, in a sense, a strong nation.
Compared to these people, there is only one person who is in a period of confusion now.
This person is Yuan Shu.
Poor Yuan Shu, who made Liu Jian, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao take turns to be a scourge, has now become a wandering army, and there is no place for lonely people to stand.
His only option now is to return to Yanzhou and regain his strength.
But the boundary of Yanzhou, for Yuan Shu, there is no need to go at all.
Not only is it dilapidated, but it has also been war-torn for a long time, and it is also in the middle of the major powers.
Yuan Shu knew with his toes that if he returned to Yanzhou, sooner or later he would be destroyed by the imperial court, Liu Jian, or any of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
But it was at this time that Yuan Shu got a chance.
That is the land of Xuzhou, and many Yellow Turban troops have emerged again, and they have begun to riot in various counties.
In fact, due to the saying that the heavens are evenly matched, all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty are now constantly going out of the Yellow Turban traitors, even if it is such a strong place in Hebei, there are still the lowest level of displaced people gathered to rebel, but they can't form a big situation, and before they are good, they are extinguished by the elite soldiers under Liu Jian.
But compared with Hebei and Jingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou has been a bit rampant in the past two years.
Of course, this is also not unrelated to Tao Qian's governance in Xuzhou.
Tao Qian has a strong personality, but he is getting older and older, both mentally and in his ability to deal with things, he is getting worse and worse than when he was younger.
Hebei was governed by Liu Jian like an iron bucket, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban in the Central Plains and Qingzhou did not dare to go over to make trouble, so they set their target in Xuzhou.
Tao Qian himself has been operating in Xuzhou for many years, although he has a powerful Danyang army, but he can not form a centralized power in Xuzhou, he relies on the local noble family in Xuzhou.
And these high-ranking families helped Tao Qian to renovate Xuzhou, so the benefits they needed would naturally be doubled compared to the original.
And where do these benefits come from? Naturally, it is scraped away from the interests of small and medium-sized Haoqiang, after all, the cake is so big, others have a little more, and others have a little less.
The interests of the small and powerful have been seized, so who is responsible for their losses?
Naturally, it is the people of Li Shu at the bottom, and this is the reason why such a person bullies people.
Tao Qian did not have the ability to rectify Haoqiang, so Xuzhou was in a situation where power was scattered in the local area.
The power is scattered in the place, the people at the bottom have rebelled repeatedly, and the people have rebelled repeatedly, Tao Qian has to constantly send troops to suppress it, and after a long time, Xuzhou will be a bit chaotic.
The momentum of the Xuzhou rebellion is too great, and outsiders may need to go over to help suppress the rebels.
Tao Qian had a good relationship with Yuan Shu in the past, but now although Yuan Shu has soldiers and horses, he has no place to station, so Tao Qian deliberately wanted Yuan Shu to come over to help him quell the rebellion.
In response to this matter, Tao Qian's subordinates had different opinions.
Some of them supported Tao Qian to let Yuan Shu come to Xuzhou, but some hoped that Tao Qian could find Yuan Shao.
And some people hope that Tao Qian can find Liu Jian......
