Soldiers come to the world

It was actually Dong Yun, Liu Jing was taken aback for a moment, is that the Dong Yun who succeeded Zhuge Liang in history?

Liu Jing couldn't be sure for a while, he didn't show his expression, just nodded slightly to Dong Yun and smiled, and then said to everyone: "Welcome to Jiangxia, everyone, no matter whether it is a northern gentry or a Jingzhou gentry, as long as they are talented people, Jiang Xia You are all warmly welcome, and I will definitely arrange your life well, you are the first batch, I hope more gentry will follow you to Jiangxia."

Several scholars were overjoyed, bowed together and said: "I am willing to serve you!"

Liu Jing nodded and said to Xu Shu: "I'll leave them to you. If you have any difficulties, discuss with Su Juncheng. You can draw up a resettlement plan so that more gentry can be admitted."

Xu Shu happily smiled at the scholars: "Everyone, come with me! I will arrange your board and lodging first, and we will talk about other things slowly."

Several scholars saluted Liu Jing, then followed Xu Shu with their luggage, and Dong Yun was the only one left on the pier. He came to Jiangxia by boat, and finally went to Jiangdong. Looking for an errand, but Liu Jing paid attention to him.

Liu Jing walked slowly to his side and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, the son's father is currently the county magistrate of Chengdu."

"Exactly!"

Dong Yun was a little surprised, "How would Mr. Jing know?"

"I heard someone say it by chance in Longzhong, how could Mr. Dong think of coming to Jiangxia?"

"I came to Jingzhou with Zhuge Kongming. I admired the battle with Chaisang, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."

Liu Jing laughed loudly, "What a coincidence, I went to visit Kong Ming, and sister-in-law Yueying said she went to Shuzhong, so she must have gone to Brother Dong's house, right?"

Dong Yun nodded, "That's right. I returned to Longzhong with Kong Ming the day after Miss Tao left Zhuge's Mansion, and I also heard my sister-in-law talk about it."

"Then we are not outsiders. It happens that I have time these two days, why don't I accompany Brother Dong on a tour of Jiangxia!"

Dong Yun was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Jing would personally accompany him to travel around Jiangxia. Although Liu Jing kept saying that he was not an outsider, Dong Yun knew in his heart that he had nothing to do with Liu Jing. Liu Jing's enthusiasm made him feel uncomfortable. Some moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing, for your kindness. You really don't have to bother."

"Brother Dong is too far-fetched. I have always admired your father's character. Since I came from Bashu, I naturally want to do my best as a landlord, so don't be polite."

Dong Yun heard that he had always admired his father, and this was obviously a polite remark, but he was still moved by Liu Jing's enthusiasm, so he no longer refused.

"Since this is the case, Xiaosheng will trouble Mr. Jing. The name of Xiaosheng is Xiuzhao, so Mr. Jing can just call me by my name."

Liu Jing smiled happily, "Then I'll call you Brother Xiu Zhao, please! I'll take care of you first."

Liu Jing entertained Dong Yun in such a low profile, it was naturally out of his desire for talents. He did not have the solid foundation of Cao Cao, nor did Sun Quan's three generations of Jiangdong's career, nor did Liu Bei's world fame. Excellent talents will not easily turn to him he.

But without talents, there is no way to compete for the world. He can only seize every opportunity and take all the talents he meets under his tent. Dong Yun is also a talented person in history. Since he appeared in Jiangxia, Liu Jing will never use it again. He let go.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Early the next morning, Liu Jing arranged a boat and personally led Dong Yun to Chaisang, which was the place Dong Yun most wanted to go on this trip to the east.

On the big river, the cold wind was bitter, and the big boat sailed along the water and the wind, like an arrow, all the way to Chaisang.

"Brother Xiu Zhao, what do you think of Liu Zhang?"

Liu Jing looked at the river outside the window, and asked seemingly casually, but every expression of Dong Yun could not escape his eyes. He called Liu Zhang by his first name, which was actually extremely rude. If Dong Yun regarded Liu Zhang as the main one, then he must Will show a disgusted expression.

Dong Yun was not unhappy when Liu Jing called Liu Zhang by his first name. He shook his head, "To be honest, I don't like him at all."

"Why?"

"There are two rivers in the sky, thousands of miles of fertile land, a large population, civil servants and military generals, and a wealth of talents, but he can't even take down a Hanzhong. This person is really a mediocre person!"

Speaking of this, Dong Yun sighed melancholy.

Liu Jing already understood in his heart that Dong Yun didn't seem to be simply traveling, but also wanted to find the Lord of Allegiance, so it depends on whether he can grasp this opportunity.

"Brother Xiu Zhao, do you know the general trend of the world?"

Dong Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "In the land of Bashu, there is no news, and the general situation of the world is not well known. If Mr. Jing can tell you, I am willing to listen."

Liu Jing sat down, took out a pen and paper, and quickly drew a map of the current forces.

"Cao Cao's occupation of the north has the political advantage of coercing the emperor to command the princes, and the military advantage of having enough soldiers and food. Yuan Shao is dead, and the Yuan brothers are fighting for power. It cannot last long. Hebei is at the end of its strength and will perish in two or three years. !

If Hebei is destroyed, Cao Cao will send a large army south to attack Jingxiang, take the Jingxiang water army, and then attack Jiangdong by land and water, and wipe out the south in one fell swoop.

This is Cao Cao's big plan, and the key lies in whether the Sun and Liu families can abandon their previous suspicions and unite against Cao, take advantage of the weakness of the northern navy's inexperience in water warfare, and seize the opportunity to defeat Cao's army. At that time, the world map will surely be redrawn. "

Dong Yun nodded silently, then sighed in a low voice: "How can the enmity between Sun and Liu be unraveled so easily?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, took out the letter Sun Quan gave him, and handed it to Dong Yun, "This is a letter written by Sun Quan to me, brother Xiu Zhao might as well read it."

Dong Yun already had a little understanding in his heart that Liu Jing valued him so much, probably because he meant to recruit him, he hesitated for a while, but still accepted the letter.

Sun Quan wrote very clearly in the letter that he was willing to join hands with Liu Jing to fight Cao Jun, which surprised Dong Yun, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Jing and Jiangdong form an alliance, can Zhou Mu agree?"

Liu Jing laughed, "My uncle doesn't have the guts, but it doesn't mean that all the Liu family members have no foresight and mind. Jiang Xia is my Liu Jing's Jiang Xia, so what does it have to do with Xiangyang?"

Dong Yun felt admiration in his heart, he got up and gave a salute and said: "Young Master Jing's ambition, Dong Yun has been taught."

. . . . . . . . .

Five days later, when Dong Yun returned from Chaisang, Liu Jing still came back with him. Liu Jing's business affairs had piled up like a mountain. He really didn't have time to chat with Dong Yun, so he had to sit at his desk to review some urgent documents.

Dong Yun was sitting by the window, feeling ups and downs. Although Liu Jing didn't mention a word from the beginning to the end, he had already fully understood Liu Jing's intentions. He just hoped that he could stay in Jiangxia, so he took the pains to accompany him to the east. Run west, abandoning all official duties to guide yourself.

This heavy favor weighed heavily on Dong Yun's heart, making it difficult for him to repay, and he was also very conflicted. His original intention was to go to Jiangdong to find opportunities.

This was what his father meant. Although his father was loyal to Liu Zhang, he was not optimistic about Liu Zhang and hoped that he could go to Jiangdong to seek a future, but his father firmly opposed him seeking a job in Jingzhou.

Although his father arranged the route for him, he still had to walk the final road by himself.

Dong Yun is not optimistic about Liu Zhang, nor is he optimistic about Liu Biao, but he has never considered Liu Jing. Among the princes in the world, except for Hebei, Central Plains, Jingzhou, and Bashu, the rest is Jiangdong.

He heard that Corporal Sun Quan is a virtuous man who appoints people on their merits and is a rare wise ruler. This made him quite moved, so he planned to travel all the way to Jiangdong to find opportunities to seek an official position. Jiangxia was just a stop for him to rest halfway.

Unexpectedly, he met Liu Jing who was eager for talent in Jiangxia. From Liu Jing's attitude towards those scholars, we can see Liu Jing's desire for talents.

He came along with a few scholars and knew them well. Except for Cao Lin who was a little talented, the others were all mediocre people.

Even so, Liu Jing still gave them generous treatment, even they themselves could not imagine it, which is a bit like buying a bone with a thousand dollars.

There is also the Lumen trial of "no matter how high or low, only talents are promoted".

All these left a deep impression on Dong Yun, and made him deeply feel Liu Jing's thirst for talents and Liu Jing's lofty ambition. Strong, can Liu Qi and Liu Cong compete with him?

Maybe I can really consider staying in Jiangxia, but how will my father explain?His father firmly opposed him seeking a job in Jingzhou, which made him a little embarrassed.

Dong Yun pondered for a moment, then he glanced at Liu Jing, seeing that he was engrossed in reviewing military documents, he hesitated and said, "Young Master Jing!"

"Brother Xiu Zhao, what's the matter?" Liu Jing stopped writing and smiled.

"I want to go to Jiangxia Academy, but I don't need my son to accompany me, just give me a horse and a guide."

Liu Jing nodded and readily agreed, "Back to Wuchang, I will arrange it for you!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Dong Yun found Kuai Liang in Jiangxia Academy. He heard from Liu Jing that Kuai Liang was the head of Jiangxia Academy, and Kuai Liang had a very good relationship with his father Dong He. Dong Yun often went to Kuaifu to study as a guest when he was young. It can be said that, Kuai Liang was his uncle.

Kuai Liang was overjoyed to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land. He invited Dong Yun to his study, smiled and asked him to sit down.

"Why would my nephew think of coming to Jiangxia?"

"My nephew originally planned to travel to Jiangdong, but when I passed by Jiangxia, I happened to meet Mr. Jing, and I was accompanied by him enthusiastically to travel around Jiangxia. I have stayed in Jiangxia for six days."

"Oh! Nephew Xian and Mr. Jing are very familiar?"

Dong Yun shook his head, "I'm not familiar with you, this is the first time we've met."

Kuai Liang was a little surprised that Liu Jing actually stayed with Dong Yun for six days, one must know that Liu Jing's official duties were heavy and he was often too busy to touch the ground, how could he have time to accompany an ordinary scholar to travel around Jiangxia.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang couldn't help but glanced at Dong Yun again. He knew that this nephew had been hailed as a child prodigy since he was a child. Talent and learning are no less than adults.

He and his brother Kuai Yue also often said that this son will become a great talent when he grows up. A few years ago, Dong Yun's talent was spread all over Bashu. With such a great talent, it seems that Liu Jing also wanted to keep him in Jiangxia. .

Kuai Liang thought to himself, "I can help Liu Jing." '

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang said with a smile: "If I'm not wrong, my nephew wants to go to Jiangdong to seek a job, right!"

Dong Yun's thoughts were broken by Kuai Liang, and he nodded in embarrassment, "I did plan like this at first."

"Nephew, I'm not talking about you. Although Jiangdong Sun Quan is known as a corporal, this 'scholar' must have a prerequisite. He must be a famous man, and Jiangdong's aristocratic family is preferred.

A young man like Nephew Xian, who has just passed the weak crown, has no reputation to support, no famous person to recommend, and he is from Jingxiang Bashu, how can Wuhou use you?If you are lucky, you can be a book assistant, and you may have a bright future until you are 40 years old. If you are lucky, you will have to go back home when you run out of money. Nephew, don’t believe too much in rumors. In fact, everything depends on your connections. . "

Dong Yun nodded silently. In fact, he had thought about it in the past two days. Instead of going to Jiangdong to seek a job in a daze, it is better to accept Liu Jing's enthusiasm.

Thinking of this, Dong Yun sighed and said: "Going to Jiangdong was my original idea, but now I want to stay in Jiangxia and repay Mr. Jing's kindness. I am a little worried that my father will not agree. He firmly opposes my seeking a job in Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, "It's very simple, you can stay at Jiangxia Academy to study at ease, I recommend you to join Jiangxia Academy, your father will not embarrass you for my sake."

This is what Dong Yun thought of on the way. Since Kuai Liang proposed it on his own initiative, he didn't refuse. He immediately stood up and gave a deep salute, "This junior will trouble Uncle Shi from now on!"
