Chapter 126: Drinking with a group of great talents
Liu Zhong took Wang Xiaoer and soon came to the dilapidated house that the old farmer said.
Liu Zhong tidied up his clothes a little, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
It's a door and a plank, Nima is really poor enough. It seems that this master's life is also poor enough, and even if the door of this dilapidated house is opened, there will probably be no thieves entering and stealing.
If the so-called rat comes, I'm afraid I'll have to cry and leave.
When the people in the house heard a knock at the door, they came and opened it, and when they saw someone they did not know, they asked:
"May I ask who your Excellency is?"
"I am Liu Zhong, the word Zhendong, passing by here and hearing that there is a high-ranking talent living in seclusion, so I came to visit. β
Li Yuan explained his intention, he looked inside, and saw that in addition to the person who opened the door, there were three people sitting, all dressed as scribes, and the table was full of wine, and it seemed that everyone was drinking and talking.
"Liu Zhong, Liu Zhendong, could it be that you are the Liu Zhong who put down the Xingyang riot in only three days?"
The person who opened the door looked at Li Yuan carefully, his eyes full of surprise.
Liu Zhong clenched his fists slightly and replied: "Haha, it is in the next place, dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?"
"In the lower Guo Jia, the word is filial piety, a mountain and a wild person"
Guo Jia smiled slightly, but his face was full of surprise, because he Liu Zhong was very young.
However, he soon returned to normal, and he let Liu Zhong into the house.
"Haha, General Li is really flattered to be able to come, please come in. β
The people who were talking saw that there was a guest coming, and they stood up one after another, and when they saw that the person who came was sword-eyed, heroic, and dignified, everyone felt that this person's identity must be extraordinary.
A man dressed in luxurious clothes stood up and asked:
"Fengxiao, is this your new friend, we haven't seen each other before, you have to introduce us well. β
Guo Jia laughed and said: "Everyone, this guest is also the first time I have seen him, he is Liu Zhong and Liu Zhendong of Weizhen Xingyang. β
"What? Liu Zhong ?!!" Everyone invariably showed a look of surprise, which was exactly the same as Guo Jia just now.
"Liu Zhong has seen all the gentlemen. β
Li Yuan clasped his fists and saluted everyone, and the others returned the salute one after another.
Liu Zhong is quite excited in his heart now, because people who can play with ghosts like Guo Jia are not idle people.
If you can serve it in one pot, it will be cool.
"Sitting on the left hand side is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, in the middle is Xi Zhicai, and on the right hand side is Chen Qun Chen Changwen, all of them are my friends, General Liu, you don't have to be polite, just drink heartily. β
Guo Jia introduced everyone to Liu Zhong one by one, Liu Zhong knew that Guo Jia was a good drinker, it can be said that he was not happy without alcohol, and he was dissolute by nature, and he did not like the constraints of traditional etiquette.
Liu Zhong was even happier after hearing this, the people sitting here were all famous figures in the future, thinking that this time he would cast a net to catch fish, and he would catch them all, and these people would be recruited to his command.
These are not great talents, no matter what era talent is the most important resource.
Liu Zhong was not polite, so he sat down.
Of course, Liu Zhong didn't come empty-handed, he knew that Guo Jia's house was as good as Xu Chu's wine, so he brought two jars of burning knives and a few bottles of two pots.
Hehe, there is a quilt, and it is bound to be taken.
"Haha, then I'm not welcome, I, Liu Zhong, am also a good wine person like you, look, I also brought some wine from my hometown. β
As he spoke, Liu Zhong took out the wine from his bag.
"Haha, General Liu will come when he comes, and he will bring something, but this wine is so special. β
Guo Jia saw the wine that Liu Zhong took out, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Seeing the wine that Liu Zhong took out, several people also came over curiously, the packaging of this wine was too high-end. It should be that even if it is an ordinary two-pot head, it is also a glass bottle, and when the Three Kingdoms era, where did it come to such a good packaging.
Even a glass bottle is a good baby.
"Haha, guys, how about changing my wine?"
Liu Zhong smiled, opened two bottles of two pots, and filled them for several people.
Several people's eyes were straight, it should be, it was too fragrant, this wine.
It is also very clear, and the three countries of the other world have no distillation technology at all, so there is no clear wine.
The most unbearable is Guo Jia.
Guo Jia couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a bite.
"Oops, this wine!"
"Fengxiao, what's the matter?" asked several people who looked at Guo Jia with curious expressions.
"This wine is so good, you should try it too. β
"Haha, take the liberty to interrupt, Liu Mou respects you a bowl. Liu Zhong smiled and picked up the bowl.
Under the power of good wine, it was not long before the wine passed three rounds.
Chen Qun was the first to speak: "I don't know what is the important matter of General Liu's trip to Yingchuan?"
Liu Zhong glanced at Chen Qun and saw that he was polite, which was in stark contrast to Guo Jia's bohemianism.
Among the people present, Ruolun talent Chen Qun may be the lowest, but his political talent is very outstanding, and Xun Yu may not be much.
Chen Qun was born in a famous family, and was opened by Liu Bei as a special driver in Yuzhou in his early years, and when Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he was made a subordinate of Cao Peng, and later transferred to the military of the prime minister.
When Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei, he served as the imperial historian of Wei, and then worshiped the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the Marquis of Wuting of Chang. After the establishment of Cao Wei, he successively served as Shangshuling, the general of the town army, the Zhonghu army, and the secretary of the book. Cao Rong ascended the throne, served as Sikong, recorded Shangshu affairs, and was enthroned as the Marquis of Yingyin.
It can be seen that Chen Qun was a very high official at the time of Cao Wei, and he was deeply trusted by the Cao family, so he can be said to be a very important member of Cao Wei in the later period.
Liu Zhong said with a smile: "I came out to travel this time, the purpose is to know some heroes, but I have long heard that there are many talents in the Yingchuan area, and I met an old farmer on the road just now and said that there are great talents here, so I took the liberty to visit." β
"General Liu Zhong captured Xingyang in just a few days and quelled the riots. β
At this time, it was Xun Yu who spoke, he was wearing a red robe and yellow lace, and he looked like a rich lord, but the breath of the literati was spontaneous, and people did not dare to underestimate it.
Xun Yu was known as Wang Zuozhicai, who formulated a blueprint and military line for Cao Cao to unify the north in his early years, and was praised by Cao Cao for revising Cao Cao's strategic policies many times, including "deeply rooted in the foundation to control the world" and "welcoming the Son of Heaven".
In terms of tactics, he faced the rebellion of LΓΌ Bu and protected the three cities of Yanzhou, plotted to strangle Yuan Shao in Guandu, and recommended a large number of talents such as Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xian, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia for Cao Cao.
Xun Yu has made many achievements in planning, plotting, Kuang Bi, and lifting people, and was called "my son's room" by Cao Cao, but unfortunately in the end he was jealous of Cao Cao because of his opposition to Cao Cao's call of Wei Gong, and he was transferred from the center, and died of depression in Shouchun.
"Wen Ruo has won the award, how dare I call myself a great talent in front of all gentlemen, it is just my luck to be able to capture Xingyang in just a few days, if the first gong of the wheel should be General He Miao, if there is no help from him, how can I be so smooth. β
Liu Zhong didn't dare to hold up in front of these guys, and said modestly, attributing all the credit to He Miao, he was so polite in order to gain Xun Yu's favor.
"Hahahaha, General Liu's words are not right, we are all bold people, why should we be so modest, He Miao is just an ordinary person, if it weren't for the great general He Jin, how could he sit in this position, I really want to compare him with you He is 108,000 miles behind. β
Guo Jia has something to say very heartily, and he is not afraid to say things that offend He Miao, he has a dissolute personality, and he is eclectic in his words and actions, but sometimes it is easy to offend people if he says too straightforwardly, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I am afraid that in addition to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, there are not many monarchs who can tolerate him.
However, Guo Jia's resourcefulness can be said to be unpredictable, he can be called a ghost talent in the Three Kingdoms, and there are even ancient poems praising him. The history of the scriptures is hidden in the abdomen, and the hidden armor soldiers in the chest. Strategizing is like Fan Li, and decision-making is like Chen Ping.
It's a pity that Guo Jia died young due to illness at the age of 37. In fact, many people think that if Guo Jia does not die, even Zhuge Kongming will not dare to go out of the mountain, which may be exaggerated, but it can be seen how powerful Guo Jia's resourcefulness is.
"Haha, Feng Xiao is really straightforward enough to speak, your character, buddy likes it, but it is fate that everyone can meet, if you can drink at the same table, don't see outside, just call me Zhendong, come, I will toast you. β
Liu Zhong raised his wine glass and drank it all, if you really want to say that there are so many people here, what he wants to recruit the most is Guo Jia, with Guo Jia's superb resourcefulness, he will not have to panic in the face of various top strategists in the future.
Guo Jia gave Liu Zhong a glass in return, everyone saw that the two of them drank so happily, they raised their glasses and drank, everyone chatted very happily, but only one person did not say a word from beginning to end, and his face was not very good-looking.
Liu Zhong had already discovered that something was wrong with Xi Zhicai.
At first, it was difficult to ask, but now that everyone is almost drunk, they don't care about anything and ask, "Is this gentleman not feeling well, why does he not talk or drink all the time?"
The others felt a little embarrassed when they saw Xi Zhicai's unhappy face, but they knew that Xi Zhicai was not like this on weekdays, and he didn't change his appearance until Liu Zhong came in.
Guo Jia, Chen Qun and Xun Yu naturally know why Xi Zhicai is like this, but it is not easy to explain it in front of Li Yuan.
Xun Yu hurriedly explained for Xi Zhicai: "Brother Zhendong is right, Zhicai's body is really unwell today, so his face is a little ugly, don't mind." β
Xi Zhicai snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, Wen Ruo, you don't have to explain it to me, I'm in good health, today was supposed to be a good day for us to get together and drink, but I was just disappointed by the arrival of some people." β
When Xi Zhicai said this, Xun Yu and the others couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and Liu Zhong felt even more inexplicable, what does Xi Zhicai mean by this?
For Brother Mao, Liu Zhongzhong didn't understand why Zhicai hated him, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Zhicai, Zhendong and you should be meeting for the first time, why do you dislike me so much, could it be that I have done something to offend you?"
"Hmph, General Liu is really a noble man who forgets things, don't you know what you have done?" Xi Zhicai still didn't give Liu Zhong a good look.
When Liu Zhong heard this, he was in a groove, what's wrong with the master! Nima, did the master give you face?
also has a temper, even if you have great talent, and now you are not famous in the drama Zhicai, you have the heart to recruit, but you can't lose your prestige in front of everyone.
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "I, Liu Zhong, have always acted above board, and I have never done anything that is sorry for my conscience, I have no grudge against you in the past and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to put a stinky face on the master."
If I really have something to offend, you can just say it, and I, Liu Zhendong, dare to stand up to the sky. If you have anything that doesn't please your eyes, you might as well just say it, why do such a shameful thing for talented people. β
"What a big husband who dares to be a daring man, then let me ask you what is the most important thing in a country?"
Xi Zhicai threw a question to Li Yuan.
"Nature is the most important thing for the people. Li Yuan replied without thinking about it.
Liu Zhong's answer was beyond Xi Zhicai's expectations, he originally thought that Li Yuan would say that the Son of Heaven was the most important, and he continued to ask:
"Since General Liu knows that the people are the most important, why should he do anything to harm the people?"
