Chapter 335 Ten Sages

Since Liu Jing was only trying to guard the prefect of Lingling, he only had the qualifications to enlist county officials and temporary county magistrates, but not the power to confer official positions. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is currently only serving as a guest.

However, although Zhuge Liang has no official position at the moment, Liu Jing regards him as his sharer and mastermind. He sits on the same table, sleeps on the same bed, and handles all affairs, big or small, without reservation.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is somewhat unbelievable. You must know that Zhuge Liang has just reached his twenties this year, he is still young, and his talent has not yet shown.Even Lai Gong felt that Liu Jing had gone too far.

Liu Jing did not change his original intention. No one in today's world knows more about Zhuge Liang's talent than him, including Zhuge Liang himself.

Historically, Zhuge Liang was in charge of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he made the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. His aspirations and accomplishments were unfulfilled, and he was still able to rank among the top ten philosophers of the Wu Temple.

The so-called Wu Temple refers to the temple built by Tang Xuanzong during the Tang Dynasty to worship Jiang Ziya, the "ancestor of soldiers".The ten philosophers of the Wu Temple are selected from among the famous generals of the past dynasties as accompanying sacrifices.

In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there were only Han Xin and Zhang Liang who were selected, and Zhang Liang was awarded Jiang Ziya's "Taigong Art of War".During the last 400 years of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the subsequent Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhuge Liang was the only one selected.

From Tang, Song, Yuan... until the abolition of the Wu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple have changed many times, but Zhuge Liang's status has always been as stable as Mount Tai.

As for Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the country, it is needless to say that there is no one in the Three Kingdoms, and he is known as being comparable to Guan Zhong and Xiao He.

Zhuge Liang can be said to be the most outstanding talent in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, not one of them.

Zhuge Liang didn't know his future achievements, and he felt flattered by Liu Jing's special encounter, even if King Wen Li Jiang Shang, Duke Huan Xian Guan Zhong, it was just like that.However, Zhuge Liang did not underestimate himself. He dared to compare himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi when he was young. From this, it can be seen that he was proud in his heart. Zhuge Liang secretly vowed that he would not disappoint Liu Jing.

Liu Jing knew that Zhuge Liang was a workaholic. Even if he was in charge of the government of a country, he still liked to examine the documents and books in person, sweating all day long, without restraint, and eventually exhausted himself to death.Now Zhuge Liang has such signs, concentrating on his affairs and working tirelessly.

Liu Jing wanted to change Zhuge Liang's habit of doing everything by himself, but unfortunately his persuasion was not successful.The reason is very simple, his soul in two lifetimes, his energy is different from ordinary people, he only sleeps three hours a day, sleeps less than Zhuge Liang, and he is also hardworking in handling official duties, so he has no position to preach to Zhuge Liang.

Time flies, more than ten days are fleeting, the fleet arrives at the confluence of the Hunan, Lei, and Cheng Rivers, and Ling County is vividly in sight.

At this moment, hundreds of people were waiting at the ferry on the west bank of the Xiangshui River to welcome Liu Jing. In addition to the magistrates of Ling county headed by solemnity, and the generals of the army headed by Liu Zong and Ma Zhou, Guiyang prefect Huan Yi is also there.

The reason why Huan Yi was able to become the prefect of Guiyang was due to Liu Jing. Moreover, the two had a close relationship and had worked together for many years, and they had already shared weal and woe. Without hesitation, he immediately led three thousand soldiers from Guiyang County to Ling County to help in the battle.

Liu Jing got off the boat and went ashore, walked calmly in front of Huan Yi, pointed at Zhuge Liang and asked with a smile, "My lord, who do you think he is?"

Huan Yi carefully looked at Zhuge Liang's face, and couldn't help being overjoyed: "Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed: "I haven't seen you for several years, brother Huan, are you here?"

Huan Yi quietly looked at Zhuge Liang who was eight feet tall and handsome, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect Kong Ming to grow up like this."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Brother Huan's demeanor is even better than before."

This is true. Huan Yi used to live under the shadow of his elder brother Huan Jie. When he met Zhuge Liang, he was only a small official. Becoming the king of a county, the demeanor is naturally different.

Huan Yi chatted with Zhuge Liang for a while, then turned his gaze back to Liu Jing, and said, "Zhongda, the households and land in Guiyang are far inferior to those in Changsha and Lingling. Come three thousand soldiers from the county."

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Your Excellency has a heart, 3000 people are enough."

To be honest, Liu Jing is not short of troops now, and the combat effectiveness of Guiyang County soldiers is limited. To him, it is more of a symbolic meaning.After Changsha and Lingling, Guiyang also joined Liu Jing's team against Zhang Jin. This means that Liu Jing is popular in the three counties of Jingnan, which is enough to compete with Zhang Jin's emperor's edict.

Of course, whether people's hearts are good or edicts, it is difficult to decide the outcome. The two sides still have to go through the battlefield to decide the outcome.

Then Liu Jing introduced Xu Shu to Huan Yi.

Xu Shu looked at Huan Yi, who was about the same age as him, who had ascended to the position of prefect of a county when he was less than [-] years old, and it was hard not to be touched in his heart.

At the same time, he is also full of expectations for the future. Although Liu Jing treats him not as well as Zhuge Liang, he is also regarded as a guest of honor, participates in Momo, and even sees close friends.

Xu Shu believed that with his own talent, he would surely become the prefect of Two Thousand Stones in the future.Of course, Xu Shu's ambition does not stop there. Like Zhuge Liang, he has the ambition to revive the Han Dynasty and clarify the hearts of the world. His ultimate goal is to assist Liu Jing to create a king's career.

Liu Jing then walked towards Liu Zong, and said solemnly: "Brother Cong, you have worked hard."

Liu Jing said this from the bottom of his heart. Not long after the Battle of Ling County, he went north to Linxiang, leaving Liu Zong a mess.In just over two months, Liu Zong's body lost more than ten catties, which shows his hard work.

Liu Zong was majestic, and laughed loudly: "For those who help the big things, why do you say hard work?"

"Excellent, Brother Cong..." Liu Jing shook his hands and praised in admiration.Then he asked again: "By the way, Brother Cong, has there been any news from Quanling recently?"

Liu Zong laughed and said, "Ever since Cai Hongchao dug several tunnels secretly in Quanling City, taking advantage of the time when the Jiaozhou army was sieging the city, he recruited hundreds of daredevils and sneaked out of the tunnels to attack them. After this battle, the morale of the Jiaozhou army declined, and Zhang Jin was also frightened. In the past few days, he has attacked the city several times, but all of them ended in anticipation and hastily ended. Quanling is now as safe as Mount Tai."

Liu Jing also couldn't help laughing. He received the Cai Sheng battle report on the way south, and he was quite dumbfounded for a while.He had known that Zhang Jin was not a soldier, and that the Jiaozhou soldiers under his command were hardly elite, but in the face of Cai Sheng's surprise attack of hundreds of people who dared to die, he performed so poorly, almost defeated, which was beyond his expectation.If Cai Sheng could have hundreds of thousands more people in his hands at that time, it might not be his turn.
