The wine is clear, sweet at first, and then the wine is upwell, which is easy to make people drunk.

Huo Jun didn't dare to drink more, took a sip, and said modestly: "In the past Zhang Xian's rebellion, the soldiers and thieves were in the township, Jun Wei gathered people to resist the enemy, and used the courage of the villagers to break the thieves, so as to get the weight of Liu Jingzhou, and gave him an official position, and he didn't dare to say that he was good at military affairs. ”

"What Zhong Miao said is false!"

Wang Cang stretched out his hand to deny it, pierced Huo Jun's hypocrisy, and said with a smile: "A few years ago, a certain person went on a southern tour on official business, and he saw Zhong Miao's subordinates, and his bravery was comparable to the elite under Cainan County's account. ”

"Oh!" Wang Kai asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Cang was very calm and said: "This is indeed the case, at that time, Cai Nanjun watched the ranks of the sergeants of various departments, and the Zhongmiao troops were like a forest, and the lineup was strict; The soldiers of Nanjun were loose and chaotic, and they were rated as the champions of all departments. ”

Huo Jun is neither humble nor arrogant, in fact, he has already examined himself.

In terms of military ability, Huo Jun in history may be said to be talented with hundreds of people holding the city, but he is not outstanding. The real core is that you can seize the opportunity and lead 100 elite people out of the city to kill the enemy general, which is different.

Liu Bei, who has fought all his life, also praised himself as a general of the country, which shows his military ability.

After crossing over, from the military knowledge he learned in his previous life, Huo Jun used practice and relied on his talent to light up the skill points of military training at the earliest.

So far, everyone finally knows why the arrogant Wang Cang admires Huo Jun so much, and Huo Jun's ability will definitely shine in the future.

Fu Xun was quite touched and said: "Zhong Miao's talent, a certain look at it!" ”

Seeing Huo Jun's talent, the atmosphere became a little more eager. However, in order to further study Huo Jun's true talent, Yi Ji asked: "Zhong Miao is good at predicting the current situation, and Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and Zhao Wei are in dispute in Yizhou today, I don't know what you think?" ”

Now, except for Jingzhou, the land of China is in a mess, and Yizhou is not much worse. Zhao Wei occupied Jiangzhou and rebelled, and Liu Zhang sent Dongzhou soldiers to conquer; Zhang Lu saw the opportunity, seized Hanzhong, and also rebelled against Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was one against two, the chaos lasted for a while, the situation fell into anxiety, and no one dared to be sure that Liu Zhang could win.

Huo Jun held the wine bottle and said with a sneer: "Hanzhong belongs to Zhang Lu, Bashu belongs to Liu Zhang, and Zhao Yun is defeated and died, that's all." ”

Listening to Huo Jun's slightly contemptuous tone, Yi Yuan was a little curious and asked, "Why is Zhong Miao decided?" ”

Huo Jun was not ambiguous, and replied: "Liu Zhang's father and son have ruled Yizhou for more than ten years, Liu Yan has power and scheming, isolating Shu Dao, and leveling the Jialong Rebellion, in order to determine the prestige; Collect the exiled people and organize them into the Dongzhou Army, thinking that they will rely on. ”

"It was passed to Liu Zhang, although Liu Zhang was dim and had no great wisdom, but he held the Dongzhou sergeant in his hand, which could be used for his own use. Zhao Wei is a rebel with no foundation, and it is very easy to peace. However, Zhang Lu's generation, Liu Zhang is difficult to peace! Huo Jun commented.

"Why is Zhong Miao sure that Liu Zhang is difficult to calm Zhang Lu?" Wang Kai asked a little unconvinced.

Huo Jun showed a mysterious smile and said, "You can see what happened in Yizhou!" ”

Fu Xun and Yi Yuan and the others looked at each other, but with Huo Jun's previous performance, they chose to believe his words for the time being.

Fu Xun asked, "I don't know if Zhong Miao can cure the scriptures, or if he knows the rest?" ”

Huo Jun hesitated a little and said: "Jun studied under Mao Run, learned the study of "Guanzi" and "Shangjunshu", and the key to the economy of the law. Master Mao followed Ji Changgong (Ma Rong) to study, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Master Mao wandered in Nanjun, Jun was raised, so Master Mao taught. ”

When Huo Jun was in later generations, he read the discipline of economics and management, and minored in the book "Guanzi" for credits, so he still understands Guan Zhong's thoughts, and standing on the summary of his predecessors, Huo Jun can be said to have a deep understanding of the content.

The Book of Shang Jun is also aware of some of these contents, and has carefully studied them after crossing over. Combined with the political policies of the past and my own experience at the grassroots level, I can talk to them.

As for the words of the master Ma Rong, he set up an account to teach apprentices, and did not follow the etiquette of Confucianism, and there were often thousands of disciples, including Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan. According to Ma Rong's generation, it can be regarded as Huo Jun's grandfather, and it is also simple to make up a master.

Fu Xun stroked his beard and asked thoughtfully, "But after the Great Confucian Mao Heng?" ”

Mao Heng, a disciple of Zixia, studied the Book of Songs, and his nephew Mao Chang was respected as "Big and Small Mao Gong". After two thousand years of inheritance, the Book of Songs annotated by Qi, Lu and Han disappeared, and only the Book of Mao was retained in later generations.

The verses and content in the "Book of Songs" in later generations are based on the annotations of the big and small Mao Gong, how Huo Jun doesn't know the "Book of Songs" in the language, and the big and small Mao Gong is a person in the early Western Han Dynasty, Mao is in the Jizhou River, after hundreds of years of Huo Huo, the descendants of the Mao family don't know what happened. Huo Jun has no wealthy background, so he can only start from his teacher.

"Fu Jun is erudite, and Master Mao is after the Mao clan in the river." Huo Jun said with a smile.

Fu Xun has a good impression of Huo Jun, he is from the north of Guanzhong, and Ma Rong is a person from Guanzhong. Huo Jun and Ma Rong have a relationship, which makes him feel different.

Fu Xun said with a smile: "Studying the doctrine of the Legalists, this is also similar to the learning of Jibo and Zihua. ”

Sima Zhi, who didn't talk much, also asked: "At present, the surname of Jingzhou is noble and arrogant, hiding his household registration, and his taxes are not increased, I don't know what Huo Jun thinks?" ”

Huo Jun smiled lightly and said, "If I am Liu Jingzhou, then I can order Zihua to be the county magistrate and rule him with strict orders." Ran Jun is not Liu Jingzhou, and Liu Jingzhou is not a strong lord. ”

"Oh?" Yi asked, "I don't know what Zhong Miao thinks Liu Jingzhou is?" ”

Huo Jun smiled and said to everyone: "Eating wine, just eating wine." ”

Eat under Liu Biao, criticize Liu Biao, if you let others spread it to Liu Biao's ears, don't mix it yourself.

Realizing that he had lost his words, Yi Yuan laughed at himself and said, "A certain drunk! ”

"Haha!"

Wang Cang, who was drunk and hazy, pointed at Huo Jun and asked, "Brother Gongyi, after talking about it in detail tonight, I don't know what Zhong Miao's talent is?" ”

After a pause, Wang Cang burped and said: "From a certain point of view, Zhong Miao has both civil and military skills, can understand the general trend, has economic talents, and has the ability to do military affairs. If the ancients used it as a metaphor, they thought that they could reach Wu Qi, but their virtue was far better than that of Wu Ziyi. ”

When everyone heard this, Wang Cang was extremely surprised and surprised by Huo Jun's admiration. Wu Qi is not an ordinary person, don't look at his poor reputation, lustful and greedy for money, killing his wife and preaching (Note (1)), which has provoked countless people with high moral character.

But in terms of his merits, Wu Qi's exploits cannot be erased, and militarily "he fought seventy-six battles with the princes, won sixty-four, and the rest was dismissed." Dig the soil on all sides, expand the land for thousands of miles"; Politically, "and Wu Qi mourned the king, and Chu Nan was barbaric, so there were Dongting and Cangwu".

Therefore, Wang Cang compared Huo Jun to Wu Qi, and was suspected of over-touting in the eyes of everyone. Maybe Huo Jun has great talent, but from the current point of view, Huo Jun can't compare to Wu Qi at all.

You must know that Wu Qi is a great talent who is proficient in law, Confucianism, and soldiers, Shi Wei Wenhou, trained martial arts to strengthen the army, beat the Qin State, and collected the land west of the river; Feng Chu mourned the king, changed the law to strengthen Chu, annexed the Nanban, drank the Yellow River, and shocked the Central Plains.

And Huo Jun is only a young man in his early twenties, and he has said that he has been in the direction of major events several times and has shown his talents, and he has been blown as Wu Qi, which is too much.

Yi Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Zhong Xuan is drunk!" ”

Huo Jun took over the words to ease the atmosphere, and said with a dark smile: "Zhong Xuan should be drunk. If it is Wu Qi, I am afraid that he only has his greed for money and lust. ”

Wang Cang glanced at Huo Jun, as if to say that Lao Tzu is blowing you, but your cooperation is too unreliable!

As far as Wang Cang's heart is concerned, because he is short, ugly, and often disliked by others, he has low self-esteem. And he himself is talented, so his inferiority is transformed into pride, but because no one knows his talent, his heart is lonely.

Especially after his best friend Shi Sun Rui's son Shi Sun Meng went north to Xuchang, Wang Cang was also more depressed and unhappy. Until Maicheng met, there was a talented peer who did not dislike his appearance and treated him as an equal under the loneliness, which made Wang Cang very happy.

This time Huo Jun went north to Xiangyang, Wang Cang probably guessed his mind and wanted to go to Jingzhou, so he helped him brag and improve his popularity.

While talking and laughing, everyone looked at Fu Xun. In the past, almost none of the people who commented on Fu Xun had ever been water.

You must know that in history, Fu Xun commented on Pang Tong and called him a 'half-hero', and Pei Qian was famous all over the world for his 'clean conduct'.

Fu Xun stroked his beard, looked at it for a long time, and said: "Zhong Miao is thoughtful and not suspicious, decisive but not light, round on the outside and square on the inside, and it is really big."

Huo Jun's heart froze, and then he listened to Fu Xun again: "The age is only twenty, and the person who can gather the villagers to defend Sangzi, can prosper the family business, and can understand the law and benefit one side, is really a 'great weapon', should he be lucky in the world?" ”

Fu Xun laughed. During the banquet, everyone was shocked and suspicious, and they couldn't help but speak.

Huo Jun had already gotten up, and after a little grooming, he paused and said: "Mr. is so loving, although the future life is not good, he will not dare to live up to Mr. today's words!" ”

Compared with Wang Can's praise, Wang Kai and others would rather believe Fu Xun's comments. Huo Jun may be too much than Wu Qi, but with his ability to anticipate the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that 'the great instrument is natural'.

In the face of everyone's scrutinizing eyes, Huo Jun was not frightened, calm and natural.

Politically, he has two lifetimes of grassroots governance experience, and he stands on the shoulders of his predecessors, and with his more flexible mind after crossing over, he can't say that he is a prime minister to govern the country, but after several years of training, it is not a problem for officials to go to the state and county.

Under the premise of the integration of the two worlds, the superposition of military and political talents, and the knowledge of the general trend, after self-improvement, Huo Jun does not think that he will be inferior to himself in history.

Among them, self-improvement is similar to what Fu Xun said about meeting the master, people have talent, but talent is not born out of thin air, but after long-term training, the talent is realized.

As the topic ended, the crowd at the wine table gradually dispersed.

At night, Huo Jun and Wang Cang walked along the road and went back side by side. After entering Xiangyang, Huo Jun temporarily lived in Wang Cang's house and slept in the wing.

Inside the house, Wang Cang said drunkenly: "Zhong Miao is a great talent, although he is familiar with military affairs, but he is only a soldier of hundreds of people, how can he dominate the world's male soldiers." In the past, Wu Qi followed his son Xia to learn Confucianism, and he learned from the king, and there were all kinds of soldiers in my library. However, if you have free time, you can also study the scriptures with me and be familiar with Confucianism. ”

When Wang Cang first entered Luoyang, his young talent was outstanding and he was greatly appreciated by Cai Yong. Cai Yong once said that he gave all the books and articles at home to Wang Cang. After Cai Yong's death, Wang Cang also obtained a collection of more than 6,000 volumes.

Among his books, there should be "The Art of War", "Wu Qi's Art of War", "Wei Xuanzi" and other military books, so that Huo Jun can read them, which is also the purpose of helping him.

Huo Jun was quite moved, held Wang Cang's hand and said: "Xie Zhongxuan love, Jun is not talented, it should be a trouble!" ”

(1) Wu Qi's killing of his wife comes from "Historical Records: The Biography of Wu Qilie", but according to the Warring States Book "Han Feizi" and other books, Wu Qi divorced his wife, not killed his wife.
