Ji Han Liu Zhang

In the second year of Xingping, September is coming to an end.

Xun You, who entered Shu lightly and lived in the mansion of Wang Shang, the governor of Yi, was an idle man. He just read, practiced writing, and taught his second son Xun Shi knowledge every day. Occasionally, when he was tired of reading, he would I took Xun Shi out for fun, first to relax, and secondly to see more of the customs and customs of Shu.

Although the world is in chaos, the land of Shu is extremely stable. The streets are busy with cars and pedestrians, and the sounds of shouting and selling are endless. Although Xun Shi is mature, he is still young after all. Facing the blooming Chengdu market, he looks at the flowers for a while. He stopped for a moment every time he walked along the road, looking at the things that caught his eye with curiosity.

In the past, when Luoyang was not under the influence of Dong Zhuo, it was also prosperous and prosperous. Xun You felt moved after seeing it. He remembered the city of Luoyang where he had stayed in the old days. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang was extremely prosperous at that time. Even Chengdu is a little behind now.

Thinking of the scene in Luoyang in the past, Xun You sighed carelessly. In order to avoid the blades of the Kwantung Allied Forces, Dong Zhuo forcibly moved the emperor's officials to Chang'an. Even the scholars and common people in Luoyang were forcibly moved and burned. The ancestral temples and palaces in Luoyang were destroyed, causing Luoyang, which had been prosperous for more than a hundred years, to turn into a ruins. There were no pedestrians in the alleys, but wild foxes were seen. No ministers were seen between the palaces, but sparrows were seen coming and going.

The father and son walked and walked, the father was sad about the past, and the son looked around curiously, just like this, the whole morning was spent. When the two returned to Wang Shang's mansion, an attendant from Wang Shang's mansion saw him. When Xun You came back, he immediately went to greet him and told Xun You that Wang Shang had been waiting for him for a long time.

Xun You nodded in agreement. He asked Xun Shi to go back to another courtyard to study. Under the guidance of his attendants, he came to Wang Shang's study.

"Your Majesty, I originally went out for a short walk today, but Chengdu was full of flowers, but I was confused and wandered unconsciously all morning. I never thought that Your Majesty had something to discuss..." Xun You said to Wang Shanglue. He apologized to Wang Shang for waiting for him for so long.

Wang Shang had a very good temper, and he was not entirely waiting for Xun You. He was just taking care of government affairs, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Although Shu is a big land, Chengdu is unique to Yizhou. This Yizhou The common people thought that there were so many people who came to Chengdu to do business and settle down, and few people could not be dazzled by the prosperity of Chengdu. Jun Xun was fascinated for a while, but it is human nature."

"What the prince said is that the elegance of Chengdu can only be compared to Luoyang in the past, but there is no such grand scene anywhere else." Shang speculated on the reason why he summoned him today. Based on the time calculation, he guessed that he was appointed by Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou.

After a few words of conversation to warm up the situation, Wang Shang explained the reason for summoning Xun You: "Today I summoned Mr. Xun to see you. It was because Duke Ming handed over a document about Mr. Xun's appointment."

Hearing this, Xun You straightened his expression and waited patiently for Wang Shang's next words. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little paranoid in his heart. Although he was famous and praised by others in Zhongzhou, there were so many celebrities in the world. Will Liu Zhang respect him? This is a hard thing to say.

However, Xun You was not too hesitant. He was confident that even if Liu Zhang did not give him the desired official position because he had never met him, as long as Liu Zhang met him and talked for a moment, Liu Zhang would know his talents and strategies, and he would definitely I can get a satisfactory official position from Liu Zhang. Xun You didn't wait too long. He quickly learned from Wang Shang that Liu Zhang had appointed him as Military Advisor Zhonglang General.

"General of the Military Division." Xun You was a little confused. He asked Wang Shang in return, wondering if he had heard wrongly about his appointment. Otherwise, why would he have heard of such an official position, an official position that far exceeded his expectations? .

Although he had the reputation of being a famous figure in the country and had served as the Huangmen Minister in the imperial court, Xun You thought that Liu Zhang might not give him an excessively high official position because he had never met him, but would meet him later. After some investigation, he was given a reasonable official position. Now he should be given the position of a county governor or a school captain, but he did not expect that Liu Zhang directly gave him a lieutenant general, which made him a little unsure.

Wang Shang said with an affirmative smile: "He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Division. Duke Ming Dynasty appointed Xun Jun as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Division because he was a famous figure in the country. In addition, he had planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the past."

"Ming Gong saw that he was so important, and Jiao You was very ashamed." Xun You got a positive answer, and he said his usual modest words. At the same time, he changed Liu Zhang's title from Liu Shijun to Ming Gong. After all, such a person is not Ming Gong, who else can be his Ming Gong? The price Liu Zhang gave him was so generous that he felt that his appetite was full.

Wang Shang waved his hand, indicating that Xun You should not be so pretentious: "Mr. Previously, I was worried that the official position handed back by Ming Gong was not in line with your wishes. Now it seems that Ming Gong has heard of your reputation and knows your deeds."

"I have to thank the prince for his advice." Xun You respectfully thanked Wang Shang. He was able to serve as the military advisor and general, and Wang Shang also played a big role in this. After all, if Wang Shang, the eldest historian, had not advised Liu Zhang on his behalf, and if someone else had recommended him to Liu Zhang, he would probably not have his current official position.

Wang Shangyan smiled at Yan Yan and shied away from Xun You's gratitude. He was very satisfied with Liu Zhang for giving him the post of Military Advisor Zhonglang General and binding Xun You to Yizhou. He always liked to recommend virtuous people and was unwilling to let great virtuous people go. Living in the wilderness.

After confirming Xun You's position, Wang Shang talked about Liu Zhang's instructions to Xun You: "Mr. It’s hard work, so there’s no need to worry, as long as you arrive in Hanzhong before the end of the year, you can have a good rest during this period.”

"Even if Ming Gong is summoned and the Lord has an order, you will set off tomorrow. I dare not teach Ming Gong Duohou." Although Liu Zhang said that he could go to Hanzhong before the end of the year, Xun You graciously agreed and could not wait for this moment. He flew to Hanzhong and met with Liu Zhang.

'What a strange man he is. Xun You was thinking a lot. He was thinking about Liu Zhang's appearance, conversation, and civil and military talents. Not to mention that Liu Zhang was extremely heroic. Once he made a move against him, he was the commander of the military division. Liu Zhang planned the battle in Hanzhong, and it was a stroke of genius. When he suddenly broke into Dingjun Mountain, he was fascinated by the meeting with Liu Zhang and wanted to appreciate Liu Zhang's style. (End of chapter)
