Xuande

Chapter 508

Regarding Zhang Miao's persuasion, Mao Jie hesitated for a while, but shook his head resolutely.

"Ju was born in a humble family, and he doesn't have the ability to know the world, but he has also heard how important the kindness of knowledge and encounter is to a scholar. Liu Huanqi is willing to call, and Hsu is deeply grateful. If Luoyang is dangerous and dare not Going, didn't you have no determination to repay your kindness from the beginning?

If you don't dare to live and die with your benefactor, and only think about gaining wealth afterwards, such a person is disgraceful. If you do such a thing, you will owe Liu Huanqi's favor on the one hand, and the teaching from your parents and elders on the other hand. , where is there a face standing between heaven and earth? "

Mao Jie rejected Zhang Miao's advice, and Zhang Miao sighed very much.

"I recommended Mao Jie at the beginning, but I just said it casually without thinking too much about it. Now it seems that I really discovered a virtuous talent for the country by saying it casually."

So Zhang Miao gave Mao Jie some property that might be used on the road, and sent someone to escort him to Luoyang.

As a result, by coincidence, something really happened.

On the way from Chenliu to Luoyang, due to the turbulent situation, the impact of the Hedong crisis was too great, causing many refugees and robbers in the surrounding area.

Mao Jie and his party were carrying a lot of things on the road, so they encountered robbers. Two of his escorts died in battle, and the others fled, and their belongings were robbed.

Mao Jie escaped by pretending to be dead. After that, he simply discarded his decent clothes and changed into the worn-out clothes of ordinary people with only a summoning order. On April [-]th it approached Luoyang.

As a result, by coincidence, on April [-]th, Luoyang coup d'état, Liu Bei led the troops to wipe out He Jin's army, and Yuan Shao led the remnants of the defeated generals to pass through the Revolving Gate Pass and fled to Kanto. He was killed and suffered heavy casualties.

Mao Jie was taken away by the rebels. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebels on the way, he escaped by chance and continued to Luoyang.

After going through hardships and obstacles, Mao Jie finally arrived in Luoyang on April [-]th, and went to see General Hussars General Liu Bei outside the mansion of Hussars General, but he was laughed at.

"The current hussar general is surnamed Dong. The one you are looking for is the great general, right?"

At that time, Mao Jie's head was in a mess. He didn't know what happened, so he could only inquire and came to the general's mansion to see the general, but he was chased away by the disciples as a beggar in a daze.

So Mao Jie took out the calling order that he had saved desperately.

"This is the summoning order Liu Huanqi gave me! I am Mao Jie from Chenliu Pingqiu! Please see Liu Huanqi!"

The doorman was shocked, and looked at the summoning order. It didn't seem to be a fake, so he went to report.

Coincidentally, Liu Bei was accompanying his mother who had just moved in in the general's mansion at that time. Hearing this, he was very surprised, so he went out to meet Mao Jie himself.

Looking at Mao Jie, who was dressed in Syrian war-damaged clothing, Liu Bei couldn't understand what happened, so he welcomed Mao Jie into the mansion, asked someone to bring him water and food, and asked him what happened during this time. After understanding, I can only lament the impermanence of the world.

This journey was difficult and dangerous. The original journey of seven or eight days gave Mao Jie a taste of learning from the West, and also encountered many disasters. If it weren't for his cleverness, he might not be able to reach Luoyang alive.

Moreover, his second capture had something to do with his own actions, which made Liu Bei somewhat embarrassed.

"It's really not easy for you to walk this way. Take a good rest for a while. I'll find a doctor to take a look at your body. Don't get hurt. You'll be living in the General's Mansion these few days. I I will arrange everything for you, and I will arrange a position for you when your body is recuperated."

Mao Jie was very moved and bowed down to thank Liu Bei.

"The general treats you kindly, and I'm so grateful!"

After thanking Mao Jie, he asked about what happened in Luoyang in the past few days, and then he learned about a series of major events such as the death of the emperor, the defeat of the rebellion of the Yuan family and the He family, the abolition of the empress, and the ascension of the new emperor. This is where the identity change comes from.

After such a major political change, Mao Jie couldn't react for a while, so Liu Bei let Mao Jie live in the general's mansion for the next few days.

While finding him a doctor to recuperate his body and treat him with delicious food and drinks, he also asked him to understand the current situation and solve his internal friction.

After a few days, Mao Jie figured it out.

The boss who chose him was too capable, and directly turned Luoyang City upside down. Someone wanted to step on him, so he overthrew the person who stepped on him, and became the number one minister in the world.

In Luoyang now, everything is different from before.

And he has definitely boarded the pirate ship, and he can't jump off even if he wants to jump. Liu Bei treats himself so well, treats him with delicious food and drinks, and a good doctor waits on him. Such good treatment makes Mao Jie feel that he is very respected .

This kind of respect from the general is very useful to him.

Mao Jie, who regained his energy, quickly found Liu Bei and expressed to him his willingness to work for Liu Bei.

"Do you have any opinion on the current situation?"

Liu Bei looked at him with a smile.

Mao Jie shook his head.

"It's impossible to say nothing, but things have come to this point, and I think that people in the world should look forward instead of sticking to things that can no longer be changed. The death of the first emperor and the new emperor's ascension to the throne are exactly what we have done. At that time, Yu is willing to serve the general!"

"Those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Xiaoxian has a long-term vision and a decisive personality. He is exactly the talent I need!"

Liu Bei was very happy, so he arranged for him the position of the general, and asked him to work in the general's mansion, familiarize himself with the environment, and show his talents.

Similar to Mao Jie's situation, there are Gao Shun from Chenliu, Shi Huan from Peiguo, Zhang Ji from Zuo Fengyi, and Du Ji from Jingzhao Duling.

They are all a group of people who are located relatively close to Luoyang. They received Liu Bei's summoning order earlier, and learned that they were recommended. They were favored by Liu Bei, the most famous man in the world. , the future is very promising.

None of them were born into rich families, and their own families could provide local resources, but it was impossible for them to advance to a higher level.

From the central to the local, it is an insurmountable gap for these local families.

The olive branch given by Liu Bei has become the only way for them to enter the center from the local area. If they want to go further, this is the best choice.

So after receiving Liu Bei's summoning order, they didn't think for a long time.

Around the middle and late March, Shi Huan set off first without much hesitation.

It was also bad luck, because the chaos in Luoyang and its surrounding areas caused by the Hedong crisis made it difficult for Shi Huan to move forward. He was robbed four times in three days. It was all because of his bravery that he almost attacked all the way forward.

Because of this reason, he stopped and walked, stopped and walked, and finally got close to Luoyang. The mutiny on April [-] had a great impact.

So on April [-]th, Shi Huan finally arrived in Luoyang after going through a lot of hardships. Like Mao Jie, he went to meet Liu Bei, the Hussar General, and was shocked to learn that Liu Bei was already a great general, and within a few days, Luo So many major events happened in Yangcheng.

Unlike Mao Jie's consideration, Shi Huan's background is lower, political sensitivity is not strong, and he is better in personal bravery, so the consideration of the problem is more straightforward.

He was overjoyed when he learned that Liu Bei had become a general and became the number one minister in the world. He immediately rushed to report to Liu Bei, and took out Xiahou Dun's token of recommendation and Liu Bei's summoning order, which was welcomed by Liu Bei.

On the same day, he joined the General's Mansion as the General, and became colleagues with Mao Jie.
