Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 339
The members of the Shi clan were all stunned when they heard Hu Ke's words, and Shi Xie was also speechless for a long time. They did not compete with the world in Lingnan, and humbly paid tribute to the powerful regime in the Central Plains, in order to imitate Zhao Tuo as the local emperor.

"May Mr. Hu's words be alarmist?" Jiuzhen prefect asked doubtfully.

Hu Ke said with a smile: "This is the literal meaning. As for whether there are other meanings, Hu is superficial and doesn't know."

After all, Shi Xie was old and solemn, so he calmed down first and told Shi Zhi: "Mr. Hu has come from a long way, so please greet him with your heart and never neglect him."

"Wei." Shi Zhi nodded in response, and personally led Hu Ke out of the prefect's mansion.

After Hu Ke left the prefect's mansion, the three brothers Shi Xie continued to argue. It was difficult to decide whether to fight against Sun Quan. They could not make a hasty decision based on a prophecy.

Hepu, where the second elder Shiyi is located, is adjacent to the South China Sea, and he has to directly face Sun Quan's gradually encroaching power, so he strongly advocates taking advantage of the emptiness of the South China Sea to send troops to seize the old land.

The Jiuzhen County of the old three scholars is in the territory of later generations of Vietnam, and there has never been any worries about the princes of the Central Plains coming to attack, so he suggested to continue to remain neutral and not to provoke Sun Quan or Liu Bei easily.

Shi Hui heard that he would quarrel and leave under the pretext of arguing, but just now he found that Hu Ke had a clear mind and outstanding eloquence. He was a rare talent who had learned a lot. Hu Ke invited him to his mansion.

The dignitaries of Shi Hui dared not refuse, so Hu Ke went hand in hand with Ustin.

"Mr. Hu, I have offended you a lot before, and my father has been troubled recently, so I ask Hui to clean up the dust for you." Shi Hui greeted him personally in front of the mansion.

Hu Ke clasped his fists and smiled: "Hu is a vulgar person, how can he deserve such courtesy from Wei Yangong (Shi Xie) and Hui Gongzi."

"Mr. Hu's witty words are worthy of explaining the prophecy, and the shopkeeper of Wusi, please come to the banquet together." Shi Hui issued an invitation.

Ustin wanted to refuse at first, but he looked at Hu Ke and bowed and said, "Then don't bother me."

Shi Hui prepared a sumptuous long-made food, and there were two girls next to each table to add dishes and dishes. This made Hu Ke and Ustin very flattered. They had never had such an enjoyment before, but Shi Hui couldn’t stand it. Enthusiasm had to accept it frankly.

Shi Hui and the two exchanged warm greetings at first, and after a few glasses of wine, they asked: "Mr. Hu has seen people well. He can understand nursery rhymes and prophecies. Can you give me an idea for our family? Should Sun Quan and Liu Bei choose?" Who? Or continue to be neutral?"

Hu Ke straight shook his head: "You can't make good friends with Sun Quan in public or private, otherwise the scholar's family may fall into a catastrophe."

Shi Hui frowned: "I would like to hear the details."

Hu Ke raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers: "There are three reasons, one is that the warnings of nursery rhymes and prophecies must not be ignored, the other is that Han family officials must not be disloyal, and the third is that family feuds must be reported, and disloyalty and filial piety are the world's intolerance."

"Mr. Nursery Rhyme Prophecy has been solved, so what about the second and third?" Shi Hui sat upright and looked at Hu Ke curiously.

Hu Ke got up and said: "The Han Dynasty has been in decline and the princes have been attacking for many years. At present, the Central Plains has formed a three-legged situation of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. Cao Cao has now usurped the government and established the country. He has long wanted to usurp the emperor. Such country thieves People should be punished; Sun Jian secretly hid the jade seal because he had a disobedient heart, and later died under random arrows. Sun Quan is now in the southeast and has no ambitions and power to attack the Central Plains; Liu Xuande has the heart to help the Han family."

"Now that Cao Cao has two-thirds of the world, Liu Xuande has to meet too late after all. Even if he has the heart to help the Han Dynasty, he may not be able to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Quan, right?" Shi Hui asked curiously.

Hu Ke waved his hand and said: "It's not true. You will understand when you go outside. The people, army, and officials under Liu Xuande are very different from those in the other two places. Sooner or later he will be able to help the Han Dynasty. If the scholars first leaned over and voted for Sun Quan , in the future Sun Quan is destroyed and then transferred, wouldn't he become a repeated villain?"

Shi Hui has lived in Jiaozhi for a long time, and after being analyzed by Hu Ke, he suddenly felt "suddenly enlightened". .

"What about the third point? What personal enmity do we have with Sun Quan?" Shi Hui nodded frequently, as if he forgot to spill the wine in his glass on his clothes.

Hu Ke smiled mysteriously, pointed at Ustin and said, "Hehe, the shopkeeper Us has an old relationship with the young master, why didn't he dare to tell the truth for a long time?"

Shi Hui frowned instantly, Ustin hurriedly walked to the seat, cupped his hands and replied with an apologetic face: "The Shishi prefect has a close relationship with Jiangdong, I really dare not gossip behind my back."

"What's the matter?" Shi Hui raised his voice a little.

Wu Siding said embarrassingly: "my son knows that my merchant ship travels around Jiaozhou, and I heard a lot of weird rumors on the way. Once when I was doing business in Panyu, the prefect's mansion got drunk and unintentionally revealed that the former prefect did not die of natural illness, but drank the poisoned wine of the present eunuch Wei Jing"

Shi Hui slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Ustin with glaring eyes and asked, "Is that procurement still in South China Sea?"

Wu Siding nodded, "I often go to Panyu to buy goods, and every time I have to donate some property to the purchaser, the purchaser has already been promoted to the head of the mansion."

Shi Wu, the former governor of the South China Sea, died of a strange illness. At that time, some family members suspected that he was poisoned, but Bu Zhi died after taking the green pill presented by Shi Xie. He also generously gave up Nanhai County.

"Uncle Wu's death is indeed related to Jiangdong, but now he has been dead for several years. The so-called catching thieves, filth, and traitors, this matter." Seconds became indecisive again.

Hu Ke said with a smile: "This matter is easy. As long as you capture that Bibi, and then use tricks to capture Wei Jing, the confrontation will be clear in the first trial. Why should you be timid?"

Shi Hui pondered for a moment and couldn't think of any superiors in Longbian, but then he thought that Hu Ke might be conspiring, and he asked meaningfully: "I think Mr. Hu is a great talent, why don't you vote for a bright master? Although you can do business everywhere You can get some money, but it's not easy to seal your wife and children."

Hu Ke shook his head and smiled wryly: "I come from a humble background, and I am satisfied with living a prosperous life. In addition, I have no power to restrain a chicken. In this world full of aristocratic families, I dare not extravagantly seek power."

Shi Hui heard the unwillingness in Hu Ke's tone, so he laughed and said: "Although there are many famous people in Jiaozhi, few are as talented as Mr. Hu. If you don't think this place is remote, how about you come here?"

"Could it be a joke, son?" Hu Ke looked very excited.

"Hui sincerely asks you to help me. My eldest brother has already entered Jiangdong as a hostage, and my father is now very old. I will take over the family sooner or later." Shi Hui revealed his pride when he spoke.

Hu Ke was overjoyed: "If I can get an official position, wouldn't I, Hu Ke, be glorious in my family? I am fortunate to be recommended by the shopkeeper of Us."

Ustin cupped his hands and said congratulations: "Congratulations to Mr. Hu, and congratulations to Mr. Hui for meeting a talented person."

After hearing this, Shi Hui was very satisfied. He raised his glass and said, "Everyone is not drunk today, and I will go to my father tomorrow morning."
