"I used to read a volume of spring and autumn ...... No, during the Spring and Autumn allusions, I once read a story called Hurt Zhongyong. ”

"Said that there was a child named Zhong Yong, who was smart since he was a child, and his family had been farming for generations, and there was no first scholar, and when he was five years old, Zhong Yong suddenly cried and begged for books, and his father was different, borrowing books and views, who knew that he could read them, and even could write, and the poems he wrote were not comparable to those of adult Confucians."

"Therefore, it was widely spread in the village, and this child could even use poetry to support his parents......"

Liu Xian became more interested when he heard it, isn't this my family's suspicion?

Young talents, admired by many people in the township, so the wise men from all over the country came to distinguish the truth of the legend, so they also had a wide range of friends, and praised a lot in the past year.

This time I came to Xudu, firstly, to take my nephew out to see the world, and secondly, I also thought that there are many talented families in Xudu, and if I can spread my reputation here, it will be a way out in the future.

After all, if you can have a reputation since childhood, it will definitely be good for entering school and becoming a career in the future.

So, he smiled and listened carefully to Zhang Han's next story.

Zhang Han paused and said: "His father is proud of this, and whenever someone visits, he asks Zhongyong to go out to meet him, and then writes poems for fun, which wins the applause of the whole house, and the neighbors around him praise his talent." ”

"In this way, a few years later, when Zhongyong grew up, the poems and essays he wrote can still be written, but they cannot be compared with his peers, they are just mediocre works."

Liu Xian frowned when he heard this, and felt that something was wrong, this story seemed to be satirizing me, not sure, listen to it again.

"After a few years, this son will plough the land and farm, and will no longer be contaminated with poetry and books, and will not be known to everyone, and finally he will only become a farmer, sir, have you ever heard this story?"

"I haven't ......" Liu Xianran shook his head, I don't know why I think you made it up, but I have no evidence.

He looked at Zhang Han suspiciously, and unconsciously there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "I don't know what the prince means when he talks about this story......

"Hmm...... Just casually, you don't have to pay too much attention to it," Zhang Han chuckled, looked left and right and asked, "Do you know why this kid is so unpopular." ”

This story is not only Liu Xian, but even Jia Xu, who was sitting on his feet in the accompanying position, was thoughtful, stroking his beard to think about the meaning of Zhang Han's story.

After hearing the question, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "Because his father only knows how to bring his son to ask for a reward, and does not make him learn, so it is only regarded as a trick to please and praise, and he fails to make good use of his talents. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xian laughed and stroked his beard, his cheeks shook slowly from side to side, and said: "The prince is using this reason to warn me not to abandon my studies because of this, and bury my undoubted talent." ”

"The prince has a heart, keep it in mind......" Liu Xian bowed down, quite polite, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Undoubtedly, unlike Zhong Yong in that story, this child has long been sensible, knows that diligence is the priority, and will not be too playful.

is the story that Zhang Han said, maybe it won't happen to Don Doubt.

Zhang Han smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Well, that's pretty much what it means, but in the final analysis, I don't mean to say this." ”

Liu Xian and Jia Xu both looked at it and didn't understand what Zhang Han meant.

He continued: "The fundamental reason why he is so obsolete is that he doesn't have a good father. ”

"I also had a young genius under my command before, and Mr. I'm afraid I've heard of it, Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu."

"People have a reputation when they are young, and they are also unforgettable, and they are exported, and they can evaluate the talent of the world's characters at what age, his father has been blowing for so many years, why don't you see Yang Xiu alone?"

"It's because of Zhongyong, there is no third father!"

"This ......" Liu Xian was stunned on the spot, he was confused for a while, he only felt that this was still reasonable, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Absolutely, the reason why everyone is confused is not that they are not good at learning, not because they are not diligent in their practice, but because they don't have a good father...... What kind of fallacy is this, but I don't know how to refute it.

The idea of the prince is very different from ordinary people, which is quite wonderful.

"In Jingzhou, in fact, there are also famous teachers who teach first."

"That's different," Zhang Han waved his hand, "These famous teachers can teach him to read and break words, and to read history books, but they can't give him the future, such a good seedling, only learn these, and in the future, he will be a literary scholar, or a Confucian scholar, where is there a chance to serve his family and country." ”

"If you learn step by step, how many years will it take to succeed, and how many years will it take to enter the office? Just to spread his reputation, worship under the famous teacher, and have to be filial piety, it takes ten years, and then a few years of eunuch travel, and twenty or thirty years old before he can have a place. ”

"This is still, the result of helping him up and down, and combing his connections, if any section is not done well during the period, for example, he was robbed of a position by the son of a certain Taishou, or the division commander preferred the son of General Zuo, or someone else would prefer to make friends with the son of a prince of a thousand households."

"Then, this road is far away, and this is still the situation in the heyday, and now it's a troubled ......"

Zhang Hanyan was exhausted, leaving him a lot of reverie, and Liu Xian fell into deep thought.

Soon after, he said: "The words of the prince are inevitably a little empty, there is no doubt that he grew up in Jingzhou, and his own teachers favor and teach, how can he be confused by everyone?" ”

"A genius, strange, and among his peers, he is also a beautiful tree in the forest, how can he not be destroyed by the wind?" Zhang Han replied fluently, "Jingzhou was originally a place where Kuai, Huang, Cai, Ma and other ethnic groups worked together, and for many years, Liu Jingsheng entered Jingzhou as an imperial prince, and he was able to get the support of many families, which was a helpless situation in troubled times. ”

"Do you think Jingzhou can remain peaceful for a long time?"

"What do you mean by this?" Liu Xian looked at him in surprise, there were a lot of mysteries in these words, to see how to guess.

It can have many meanings.

Either Zhang Han can judge something in the long run, or it is a letter that many people have secretly defected to in his hands, or it is ...... Zhang Han revealed that Cao Cao had the intention of taking Jingzhou.

"Liu Biao is old, once he can't govern the country, there will be many factions in the territory that are divided into powers, isn't this kid a victim in the kind of political situation in Jingzhou?"

"Alas......" After Liu Xian heard this, he dispelled almost all the thoughts of speculation, and Zhang Han's words were equivalent to tearing open the window paper between the two sides and opening the words to speak.

"The prince's words seem to have quite an opinion on the situation in Jingzhou."

"I don't have any opinions, I just saw that this kid is very talented, and I just want to take him with me, what does Mr. think?"

"This-" Of course Liu Xian was unwilling in his heart, Zhou Budo's achievements in the future will not be low, under the operation of the sages of Jingzhou, he can even be a capable minister who governs the county and the state, and the future is unlimited.

"Junhou, this kid has never left me, I'm afraid he can't stay in Xudu."

"Why not?" Zhang Han's smile seemed to be stiff, he picked up the wine bottle coldly, stared at the wine with his eyes, and said leisurely: "You are in the important place of my military camp in the south of Linshan, there is a possibility of stealing military aircraft, for the sake of the war, for the sake of the lives and safety of the officers and soldiers of our army, I can't let you go back." ”

"Don't say it's your nephew, even your group can't leave Nanlin Mountain until my soldier and horse training is over."

Zhang Han's words were cold, which made Liu Xian startled, and he quickly stood up, and the servants he brought were even more armed with knives to guard, and hurriedly ran to his side.

At this time, this Jingxiang master had anger in his eyes, touched the hilt of the sword under the table, sank his face to Zhang Han, and said slowly: "Junhou, if you are really like this, I, Liu Shizong, will also bother to be greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

"You and I are only three steps apart, can't I be a Confucian? The husband was furious, and the blood was splashed in three steps! ”

Dian Wei was drinking, and when he heard this, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and then drank a few big sips, and poured the wine to himself, as if the tension here had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, a lot of black-robed armor soldiers came into the courtyard, standing in the distance and surrounding them.

No matter what, Liu Xian will not be allowed to escape.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Mr. has integrity and temperament. ”

"Hmph," Liu Xian's heart was complicated, but he understood that as a messenger, his bearing could not be lost, "Junhou, I know that you are brave, but in this temperament, for Ming Zhi'er, I, a Jingzhou scholar, will never be succumbed to deterrence." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Han lazily supported his chin with his palm, leaned his whole body on the case, and said with a smile: "Good one, I'd rather sing and die in the rain than send people to live under the fence." ”

What a boast!

When Liu Xian heard this, he felt that he was talking about himself, and he was talking about the Confucian scholars in Jingzhou, and he would rather die in the rain!

Heroic and upright, not succumbing to power, how chic and wanton, this Zhang Bochang is also amazing.

The rhetoric is not gorgeous, but the pride is overflowing.

"Prince, would you like to see if the sword in my hand is sharp?"

My sword is not untainable - Zhang Han almost shouted quickly, but there was no sword beside him, so he could only nod: "Then try it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Han moved quickly, slapped on the case, bounced up with a thunderous momentum, and pounced on Liu Xian, his body swept like the wind, and a black shadow covered Liu Xian's vision in an instant.

"Sir, be careful!"

Before the guards on both sides had time to escort him, Liu Xian's eyes flickered, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be helplessly slashed out, but he was still afraid in his heart.

If you stab to death, you will be stabbed to death, and it is also forced by the situation, if you stab to death this extremely important member of Cao Cao's command, it will be worth it to change your life!

But he obviously thought too much, Zhang Han quickly dodged when the tip of the sword stabbed, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and squeezed it suddenly.

Liu Xian let out a strange scream, his right wrist was directly paralyzed and weak, he let go of the long sword in his hand, and was taken over by Zhang Han and put it on his neck, and he was still wiping it in.

The cold feeling of the blade rubbing against the skin of his neck filled the perception like a tide, and Liu Xian's whole person was stunned.

Zhang Han's voice came softly, "Come on, I'll try to see if it's good." ”

"Lilili!" Liu Xian didn't think about it and hurriedly blurted out, "Don't don't be a prince, we have something to discuss." ”

"Aren't you angry now?"

"Don't be angry......"

"Okay, listen to what I've said," Zhang Han raised his hand, took the long sword a little farther away, and continued: "I have reported the matter of the military horse to Your Majesty, and you can take a copy of Your Majesty's edict back as an explanation." ”

"These war horses are obtained by the soldiers of our army who fought bravely to suppress thieves, and they have nothing to do with the lost war horses in Jingzhou, if Liu Jingsheng is displeased, he can make a statement to His Majesty, so it has nothing to do with the foot."

"I will give Mr. a golden dog and a golden horse as a thank you to show my responsibility for neglect."

Zhang Han's tone was calm and affinity, and he looked at Liu Xian seriously in every sentence and said: "And Mr. can play here at will, and I can send someone to accompany him day and night." ”

"Xu Du Gaoxian, I can also introduce it, but there is only one thing, I have hundreds of military horses in my hands, if Liu Jingzhou still needs it, I can transport it from Xuzhou to Jingzhou for him, and there will be no chaos along the way."

"The price is negotiable."

"Xuzhou Ma ......" Liu Xian heard that he understood Zhang Han's true purpose, the good guy was actually to trade with Jingzhou.

Does he still have a horse merchant friend under his command?

The meaning of this is that the batch of Xiliang war horses will not be returned, but if you still need war horses, you can buy them from Xuzhou through Zhang Han.

"As for no doubt—" Zhang Han Yuguang glanced at the pale child hiding behind the adult in the distance, and continued: "It's better to stay by my side, I will teach carefully, and introduce a famous teacher to take him as an apprentice, or you can enter the Yang family's court." ”

Seeing that Liu Xian was still puzzled, Zhang Han said again: "Oh, I am an uncle and nephew with Yang Dezu, and his father Yang Gong is a New Year's friend, and Yang Gong once asked me to teach his son to cultivate well." ”

Ah, you still have this relationship?

Is Yang Biao of Hongnong Yang's New Year's Friend? In this way, you Zhang Bochang really have the background to teach this nephew.

No, he said for a long time as if he wanted to take Bu Su as a hostage, so that he could handle my travel to and from Jingzhou, and I was afraid that I would become Zhang Han's eyeliner in Jingzhou in the future.

He is actually starting to lay out Jingzhou, is he crazy? And Jizhou hasn't started yet, the number of wins and losses is already so confident?!

"The Prince—"

Zhang Han's face turned pale, and the long sword in his hand was close to Liu Xian's neck again, and he said in a deep voice: "The above, the premise is that Mr. is willing to make friends with me, if you don't want to, you can wipe this sword, after Mr. dies, your wife and I will raise them, and they will not be left alone." ”

"Zhou Budo is also on the list, and if Mr. is willing to be a friend, then if he achieves something in the future, it will also have a lot of benefits for Mr.'s clan."

"Well......" Liu Xian lowered his head and thought for a long time, and sighed: "I am willing to agree, but I am not willing to be a person who betrays the Lord and seeks glory. ”

"Who told you to betray your lord for glory?!" Zhang Han smiled dumbly, put down his long sword heartily, approached Liu Xian and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We only do business, and we will never secretly coerce you to betray Liu Jingzhou." ”

"I am greedy for money by nature, my relatives and friends have been businessmen in Xuzhou for generations, there is money to be made, why not help out, Xudu military horses take Xiliang, and the state is the majority, Xuzhou is flat and can also graze, my two brothers have a lot of pastures at home, if you are willing to agree, I let them come to the south of the mountain to talk about it."

"Okay, okay......" Liu Xian looked at Zhang Han's hanging hand, and a hanging heart finally fell, it was only half a pillar of incense, and his mood fluctuated so much.

And after this thrilling change, he still didn't know Zhang Han's heart.

I only know that this person is extremely deep-hearted, every word and deed, every move and extremely kind to control people's hearts, he is really a terrible young man.

Around Cao Gong, there is such a character living under the curtain, it is not simple......
