Cai Mao and Zhang Yun didn't dare to let Liu Biao immediately tear his face with Liu Bei, so he couldn't explicitly intercept the talents who went to Wuchang from other parts of Jingzhou.

They can only use the banner of indiscriminately blocking business travel, temporarily closing the river and freezing all shipping.

So two days later, Huang Chengyan and Xiang Lang, as well as a few other disciples from Pang Degong's side who had recently come to join them, were about to set off, and soon discovered an abnormality - the fleet that had been scheduled to pick them up had not appeared for a long time.

According to the original plan, Pang Tong was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he himself would take Sima Hui, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Yin Mo first, and wait for the clipper team to arrive at Wuchang Port, unload the personnel, and then return to pick up Huang Chengyan and Xiang Lang and others.

Counting the days, the fleet should have unloaded Pang Tong and the others, returned to the voyage and arrived in Deng County again.

Xiang Lang was soft-spoken, and he couldn't inquire about it for the time being. Huang Chengyan was well-connected in Jingzhou, so he quickly inquired about the situation of the closure of the river from his hometown.

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he just sneered and sighed: "Nonsense! Why did Brother Jingsheng instruct Cai Mao to seal the river? Isn't he afraid of disturbing the people and stirring up the boiling of businessmen? ”

Yi Ji also had a helpless expression: "I also persuaded the envoy, and the envoy said that Zhang Xiu descended to Cao last month, and the Baihe area in the upper reaches of the Han River, the naval army originally allocated to Zhang Xiu for liaison was also incorporated by Cao Cao."

At present, Yuan Cao is fighting, and it is about to break out, and I want Jingzhou to be safe, so I can only help each other for the time being, and wait and see what happens. At this juncture, it is necessary to guard against Cao Jun's infiltration and contact, so that the river is temporarily closed. When Yuan Cao starts a war and the situation is clear, he will be unsealed as soon as possible. ”

Huang Chengyan didn't expect Liu Biao to find such a seemingly reasonable excuse, and he didn't say much for a while.

If he insists on leaving, it is okay to let Liu Biao send another boat to escort him, and it is not impossible to even entrain Xiang Lang.

But Huang Chengyan felt that there was no need to rush for a while, he had to commit a crime against the wind, anyway, Jingzhou was his hometown, and there would be no trouble if he stayed for a while.

He comforted Xiang Lang a few words, telling him to relax for the time being, stay in Huangjiazhuang for a few more days, and then see how the situation develops. Xiang Lang's family has also been properly resettled in Huangjiazhuang.

……

On the other side, Pang Tong, Sima Hui, Xu Shu and others sailed down the river in just two days and came to Wuchang from Deng County.

Liu Biao and Cai Mao's series of actions, of course, failed to stop them, the first wave of rushing talents, but only stopped the follow-up continuous blood loss.

Before Pang Tong arrived, he also specially put down the brisk boat and reported to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in advance.

When the ship arrived at the dock, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already gone to the dock to greet them in person, which really surprised Sima Hui.

The rest of Xu Shu and others naturally deserve Liu Bei's personal welcome, but Sima Hui has taught Zhuge Liang for a year and a half, and Zhuge Liang should give him a teacher's ceremony.

"The people of the mountains and wilderness, how to be greeted by the general of the chariot and cavalry! What a shame! Sima Hui walked on a quinoa cane, got off the boat with the help of Xu Shu, and hurriedly saluted Liu Bei as soon as he stood still.

Liu Bei held it up, and repeatedly signaled that there was no need to be formal: "Mr. once had the grace of teaching in Kongming, and he was a great sage in the world, so he naturally received this gift." Lonely can have today, all rely on the two brothers Ziyu and Kong Ming, change the destiny of heaven, make up for the future, how can they forget their roots? ”

(Note: Liu Bei's title of "Marquis of Wuchang" can be called lonely.) Later, there will be a county marquis who called it lonely, and it will not be specially explained. ）

When Sima Hui heard this, he was a little ashamed, but he smiled embarrassedly: "Ashamed, ashamed, Kong Ming can have today's talent, out of old learning, but only one or two out of ten."

The rest are his own talents and intelligence, plus his brother's world-class talent and family history. How dare the old man be greedy for the merits of heaven for himself. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said that Mr. Shuijing was too modest, and Liu Bei had finished greeting them, and hurriedly asked people to pull a few carriages.

Among them, the first one wrapped the pulun, asked Sima Hui to get on the chariot, Liu Bei also drove with him, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu followed in the second car, and everyone entered the city together.

Sima Hui is also familiar with history books, and naturally knows that this is the number of ceremonies for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer Meisheng and Shen Gong to enter Beijing.

The convoy left the wharf, walked along the river only a few hundred steps, came to a riverside with a wide view, and the front lane was about to turn left to the east and go to the west gate of Wuchang City.

A mound in front of the corner of the lane rises abruptly, there is a pavilion on it, the stele in the pavilion is inscribed, and the color of the green tile of Zhu Zhu is new.

Sima Hui had also been to Shaxian, Xiakou and other places in previous years, and had never seen this pavilion or monument, and the pavilion was so beautiful, he couldn't help but be interested, so he casually asked Liu Bei:

"Dare to ask the general of the chariot, what is the story of this pavilion? Could it be that after the general changed Wuchang County, he built a new event and held a grand event? ”

Liu Bei hurriedly ordered to stop: "Mr. is interested, why don't you go up to the hill to watch." Be prepared to be a mundane, not an elegant person, and there is no need to build a civil project to achieve meritorious deeds. This pavilion was left half a year ago, after Ziyuyun broke through Huang Zu. ”

When Sima Hui heard that the trip was going to be delayed, he was a little embarrassed: "The old man just asked casually, how could he delay the time." ”

Liu Bei said like a spring wind: "What is there to delay? As long as the husband is not hungry, despite the delay, he can only move his muscles and bones when he is active, and he can eat more for a while. ”

Saying that, Liu Bei directly turned his head and shouted to the people in the back car without any arrogance: "Kong Ming, are you hungry?" ”

Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu naturally hurriedly said that they were not hungry.

Sima Hui was slightly surprised: Is this general of the Che Cavalry so unshelfed?

With such a grand and virtuous show, the itinerary will change, and it is too down-to-earth.

Sima Hui could only accept kindness, and just as he was about to stretch down with a quinoa cane to support the ground, and then get out of the car, Liu Bei took the quinoa cane, and then supported Sima Hui's armpit with one arm, and gently supported him to get out of the car.

This kind of thing was originally done by the servant, and it looked like the posture would be more humble. But Liu Bei's ape arm is very long, he stands on the ground, as long as his arm is slightly raised, he can also support it to the height of the armpit of the person in the car, everything seems so natural and unpretentious.

After Sima Hui stood still, Liu Bei supported him with one arm and a cane in the other hand to climb the hill, and walked dozens of steps to the pavilion.

Sima Hui whispered to the stele:

"Huang Zucai is not an elder, you Hengzhu crushed this river. Now I came to the side of Parrot Island, but there was only a ruthless blue water.

Not...... This song is an allusion to the murder of Huang Zu by the imperial court? It's also appropriate. Under this parrot island, the river is clear and clear, rolling eastward, the Si people have passed away, no matter You Heng or Huang Zu, it is indeed emotional. I wonder who did it? ”

Sima Hui just asked, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu behind him also followed, Zhuge Liang replied with a smile: "Mr. can see the back of the stele, there is another inscription to describe the scene." ”

Sima Hui hurriedly turned the back of the stele with a cane, only to see that "General Han Fubo, the princes and princes punished the thief Huang Zu here, laid the murder of the Han envoy You Heng, and recalled the past years of Xu Du's debate...... In order to do his thing, Jian'an was established on the eighth day of July in the fourth year".

Sima Hui then understood: "It turned out to be written by Brother Ling's General Fubo, General Fubo's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, known to the world, and sure enough, his literary talent is also outstanding, and it is even more rare to have this mind."

I heard that when he was in Xudu, before the Son of Heaven summoned Brother Ling to ask the right question, Brother Ling had argued with You Heng several times and refuted it to the fullest, so was there such a thing? ”

Zhuge Liang replied: "This is true, but it is just some academic disputes that are not worth mentioning, and my brother and You Heng have no personal grudges." Later, You Heng was the envoy to mediate the rebellion and friction between Lujiang and Jiangxia counties, and the lord and brother were also courteous to You Langzhong. ”

Sima Hui sighed: "Brother Ling is really a gentleman in the world!" If you can refute You Heng lightly, you can laugh at it later, and after You Heng was killed, you can take revenge regardless of your previous suspicions.

Judging from this song, it is not too derogatory to Huang Zu, but he just sighs about the current situation, is the right dynasty, and is dedicated to the public. ”

Sima Hui sighed, turned around in the pavilion again, and saw that there was a stone tablet next to it, the seal carving was not completed, and it was placed upside down on the ground, and there were steel chisels and hammers and other things next to it, and he knew that the craftsmen were still building.

Sima Hui read a few words, and realized that it was the "Parrot Fu" written casually when You Heng came to Jiangxia as an envoy last year.

It is said that at the banquet when Huang Zu and Huang Jie received You Heng, there were merchants from Jiaozhou in the south who gave Huang Zu a parrot as a gift.

Huang Zu showed off in front of the angels, and Huang Jian also asked You Heng to write a commemoration, and You Heng wrote this "Parrot Fu" casually, all in one go, sprinkling six or seven hundred words, which shows that his literary brilliance is still there. The name of the place "Parrot Island", which was named after You Heng's "Parrot Fu" was written, was originally just an unnamed sandbar on the Yangtze River outside Xiakou City.

It's just that not long after writing it, Huang Zu and You Heng drank too much, and You Heng fought hard to anger Huang Zu, and then was chopped by a knife and axeman. If this is not the case, how can Liu Bei enter Jiangxia and enter the Marquis of Wuchang.

After Zhuge Jin and Guan Yu took Jiangxia, they specially found the site where Huang Zu set up a banquet to kill Youheng, and specially set up a stele pavilion to show his generosity.

Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Yin Mo and others watched this song, and they also sighed sincerely: "General Fubo's literary style is extraordinary, and it is enough to be the ancestor of a lifetime." ”

"I was really a frog at the bottom of the well before, although I knew the name of the Zhuge brothers, after all, I still underestimated their all-round talent in civil and military affairs. This time, it is a great fortune to be able to learn from the sages of Yangzhou, and to have more and more than is few. ”

……

After everyone visited the Parrot Island Tablet Pavilion Immortal Trail, they sighed Zhuge Jin's all-round talent, and then got back in the car and returned to the city.

Liu Bei was a banquet for the sages of Xiangyang, and the number of courtesies was prepared, and the process was needless to mention.

At the banquet, Liu Bei inevitably emphasized his principle of employing people with Sima Hui and others.

On the one hand, he said that Mr. Shui Jing is old and virtuous, and he has been studying all his life, and he should teach each other with an elegant position, and set up a school palace in Wuchang, allowing him to teach and give lectures, and not to be bound by secular affairs.

As for other Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Yin Mo and others, it is necessary to follow the law, "the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent from the army", starting from the grassroots local officials to see their ability.

But at the same time, it is also guaranteed that as long as there are political achievements, or even if it is only a certain specialty, the observation will be adjusted to a more appropriate position for half a year to ensure that people can make the best use of their talents.

For fear of being unconvinced, Liu Bei also specially cited the examples of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong:

"You may not know that when Kong Ming first came, he was the counselor of Yuzhang government affairs, which was like a county minister. When Shi Yuan first came, he was only the commander of Pengze County, and he served in several counties, and then he was promoted to the county commander. Young and knowledgeable people also need to be sharpened in practice to avoid empty talk. ”

When Xu Shu and the others heard this, they were not convinced, after all, they also knew that they were far worse than Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

After pacifying everyone, Liu Bei instructed Zhuge Liang to take everyone to visit the weather in Wuchang in the past few days, so that everyone could appreciate the gap between Liu Biao and here, and then assign official positions.
