Yuan Xi heard from the maid that someone had delivered a letter, and saw that there was a door waiting for him downstairs, so he stuck his head out and asked, "Where is the letter from?"
Menzi replied: "Guangling."
Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Could it be that something happened in Guangling?
He quickly said: "Let the messenger come in."
He originally thought that Chen Deng had found a spy to deliver the message, but not long after, he saw Sun Li in the corner staring at the corridor. He stood up in surprise and shouted: "Brother Taishi, why are you here?"
When Yuan Xi heard this, he stood up in a hurry. Why did Tai Shici come to deliver the letter in person?
What was worthy of him coming in person?
He quickly got up, ran downstairs, put on his clogs, and ran outside in the rain. As soon as he ran up the corridor, he saw Taishi Ci walking from a distance, followed by a young man carrying a bamboo umbrella.
Yuan Xi took a few steps to greet him and called out: "Brother Ziyi, why are you here?"
Taishi Ci smiled and said, "There is something urgent. Master, don't you blame me for leaving my post without permission?"
Yuan Xi also smiled and said: "Ziyi knows it well. If Guangling is in a tight situation, he will never be like this."
Tai Shi Ci laughed, "I'm afraid that with Yuan Long in charge, the young master will be relieved, right?"
He lowered his voice and said, "The reason why Ci came in person is because Sun Ce had a secret letter to give to the young master. He said it very seriously. Ci was afraid of making mistakes, so he came in person."
Yuan Xiyin smiled and said, "I always feel at ease when Ziyi handles things."
Taishi Ci pointed at Yuan Xi again and said, "By the way, Ci has lived up to his mission and brought the people the master wanted."
Yuan Xi was startled, then he cupped his hands with the young man and said, "Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, please see the envoy."
Yuan Xi felt dizzy for a moment and quickly held on to the pillar of the corridor beside him, "What did you call me?"
"Lu Xun."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi murmured: "Lu Xun, Lu Xun, Lu Xun!"
He burst out laughing, "Brother Ziyi, your contribution this time is no less than Zilong's!"
When he first got news that Taishi Ci had met Lu Xun, he quickly sent a letter asking Taishi Ci to do his best to poach him.
But at that time, he thought that the Lu family attached great importance to nostalgia and would not leave Wu County easily. With Tai Shi Ci's eloquence, he was afraid that it would be difficult to persuade Lu Xun. If he wanted to poach Lu Xun, he would have to go to Jiangdong in person, and with Sun Ce's permission, he could Take Lu Xun away.
However, to Yuan Xi's surprise, Taishi Ci actually brought Lu Xun back!
This unexpected surprise was what made Yuan Xi lose his composure. What he just said was right. In his eyes, getting Lu Xun was much more useful than a reward from the emperor. If possible, he was even willing to use a county or a state to reward him. Land in exchange!
He held Lu Xun's hand, tears welling up in his eyes. You must know that what he lacks most now is internal affairs talents, and he has recruited an all-around top talent who can live a long life as long as nothing happens. For Yuan Xi, among other things, The sense of accomplishment is no less than capturing Xuzhou.
Lu Xun and Tai Shici were completely puzzled by this, and looked confused when they saw Yuan Xi losing his composure.
Yuan Xi pulled the two of them and walked inside, "Come, I'll take you to Mr. Fengxiao. He's crazy about taking on a disciple. Boyan will definitely catch his eye!"
After hearing this, Lu Xun hesitated to speak, but it was difficult to talk when they first met, so he had to follow silently.
When several people passed by the small house in front of Sun Li, Yuan Xi said to Sun Li: "I'll have people serve wine to entertain Zi Yi Boyan. Come and join us. She can't run away anyway."
Sun Li nodded and followed. When Taishi Ci walked past the hut, his ears suddenly twitched and he stopped immediately.
Yuan Xi led a few people forward. When he turned around, he saw Tai Shici with a puzzled look on his face and said, "What's wrong?"
Taishi Ci shook his head and said, "No, maybe I heard wrong."
He had just taken a few steps when his ears twitched again, and he stopped in confusion, saying, "Who is inside?"
Yuan Xi said casually: "A captured female general from the Black Mountain Army."
Taishi Ci was confused and didn't ask any more questions. He shook his head and followed.
When Zhao Yun got married, Yuan Xi vacated the original house and gave it to Zhao Yun. Yuan Xi had no intention of using the house because everyone in it went to Youzhou with him, leaving only Guo Jia, his wife and daughter. .
Now Yuan Xi plans to have Guo Jia's wife and daughter follow him to Youzhou, so he temporarily lets them move to Zhen Mansion with Guo Jia, waiting to leave together.
Yuan Xi took Tai Shici and Lu Xun and excitedly came to Guo Jia's house. Seeing Guo Yizheng squatting outside the door in a daze, he said, "Where is your father?"
Guo Yi raised his head and said unconsciously: "Inside"
Before he could say anything, Yuan Xi went up and banged on the door, "Old Guo, I'm still sleeping in on such a day, get up soon!"
Guo Yi was stunned, took a moment, and ran away along the corner.
After a while, Guo Jia, looking disheveled, came over and opened the door, cursing, and cursed: "Guo Yi, how come you are guarding the door?"
"Young master, you want to scare me into falling ill?"
"How many times has this happened?"
When Yuan Xi saw Guo Jia's appearance, he suddenly realized that his feelings were showing off in the daytime again!
Although a breakup is better than a wedding, I didn’t know you were so hardworking.
He could only apologize and said with a smile: "It's not like Ziyi is here, and he has brought an extremely powerful young talent with him."
Only then did Guo Jia see the person behind Yuan Xi, "General Taishi? Long time no see, let's have a few drinks together later!"
He thought about Lu Xun again, "Who is this?"
Lu Xun came up to see him with a broken face. He thought to himself that this was Mr. Fengxiao who was rumored to be the assistant to Fierce Tiger. He had become famous all over the world in recent years?
Why is it different from what you think?
He lowered his head and said respectfully: "I, Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, have met Mr. Fengxiao."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Bo Yan has great talent, and my vision is not wrong. If Mr. Fengxiao tests him, he will definitely be able to recognize his outstanding qualities."
Guo Jia said doubtfully: "Really?"
"Young Master Boyan's reputation has been mentioned several times, but I don't believe that you can know his talents without seeing him."
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Let's go to my small building together, and I'll ask someone to serve the wine."
Lu Xun followed the crowd. He had heard some things from Tai Shici, and he thought that the strangest thing among them was this young master of the Yuan family, right?
Yuan Xi's rise in recent years is quite legendary, and his reputation has long spread to Jiangdong. Lu Xun has long heard of some of his deeds, so when Taishi Ci crossed the river to find Lu Xun and said that he came to him on Yuan Xi's order, Lu Xun I was still surprised.
Because after Lu Xun analyzed the rumors, he discovered that Yuan Xi had a very good eye for judging people. Zhao Yuntai Shici was an unknown person back then, but when he came under Yuan Xi, he immediately stood out and made great achievements.
Now that Yuan Xi values him so much, does it mean that the other party thinks that he can also achieve something?
Lu Xun didn't really believe in prophecies, but Yuan Xi's performance made him wonder, is there really something in this world that he doesn't understand?
As he had more contact with Taishi Ci, Lu Xun's curiosity became more and more aroused. So when Taishi Ci threatened the Lu family, Lu Xun originally had a solution, but the young man's character made him make a decision that went against his ancestors. After deciding, he pushed the boat forward and agreed half-heartedly.
Now when they met at first sight, Yuan Xi was completely different from the aloof and strategizing descendant of an aristocratic family that he had imagined. Instead, he looked like a neighbor's big brother in the street.
Yuan Xi led everyone to the hall inside the small building and asked people to serve food and wine, but asked Lu Lingqi to come down to meet them. After hearing this, Tai Shici and Lu Xun knew that Lu Lingqi had a special status and quickly saluted solemnly.
Taishi Ci said horrifiedly: "I was in a hurry when I came here. I didn't have time to prepare the congratulatory gifts for the young master and Zilong. I'll go shopping on the street later."
Yuan Xi patted Tai Shici on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother said such things to be a stranger. Who among us is following the other? Being able to send Boyan here is better than any other congratulatory gift."
"By the way, it's been three days since Zilong's wedding. I'm afraid he has already returned with his wife. I'll find someone to invite him over."
"Speaking of which, these old brothers of ours have been separated for a long time. I don't know when we will be able to get together again in the future."
Taishi Ci sighed: "Zilong is very powerful. Now he has been granted the title of lord and general, and he is far ahead."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Brother Ziyi, don't be anxious. There will be a battle in Guangling in the future. If you hurry up, within two years, I will be able to carry a seven-foot sword and ascend to the emperor's court."
Taishi Ci didn't take it seriously, and said with a wry smile: "Accept the good words from Mr. Gong."
Lu Xun was surprised and said, "You think Yuan Gongli will be defeated within two years?"
Taishi Ci didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "What Yuan Gongli?"
Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he came over to pull Lu Xun and said, "This is a possibility that the young master and I discussed for several days before we thought of it. How did I guess it was Yuan Gongli?"
When Lu Xun saw everyone looking at him, he cleared his throat and said, "You guys are just making some nonsense. Please correct me."
He talked for almost half an hour, from the general situation of the world to the situation in Jiangdong, from Yuan Shu's intention to Sun Ce's reaction, everything was clear and detailed, and the responses and reactions that the more than a dozen important forces involved in it could make. , all analyzed clearly.
Yuan Xi was shocked. Although many of them were Lu Xun's own speculations, there were many similarities with the evolution of the situation in later generations!
Yuan Xi suddenly thought of a sentence, people are different. Some people understand some truths from birth, but some people are so confused that they can't figure it out until they die.
Guo Jia's eyes became brighter and brighter. Lu Xun's inferences and ideas were completely in line with the ideas of a top counselor. The future was bright!
He quickly stepped forward and took Lu Xun's hand, "Are you willing to learn strategy from me?"
However, Lu Xun hesitated for a while before speaking out: "I want to learn the art of battle formation from Mr. Gong Yu."
"Ah?" Guo Jia looked crazy after hearing this, desperately grabbing Lu Xun's shoulders and shaking him, "Why do you want to learn how to fight?"
"I appreciate you so much. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for you to become a prince and disciple?"
"No, you must worship me as your teacher today!"
Lu Xun said helplessly: "I do admire you sir, but becoming a master and becoming a disciple is mutual. Sir, don't you really think about it?"
Guo Jia said anxiously: "What are you thinking about? I will accept you as my disciple. I can't teach Sun Li that little elm!"
Sun Li cursed at the side, thinking that I am not willing to learn yet. The things in the military book are so confusing and difficult to understand that it makes his head explode!
Lu Xun's head hurt when Guo Jia shook him, and he said with a helpless expression: "I have never seen anything extraordinary about you, but I am really scared to be so appreciated by my husband."
"But I heard that Mr. Fengxiao is good at domestic affairs and strategy, and Mr. You are good at battles and military affairs. What I want to do in the future is to command troops. I'm afraid that the principles taught by Mr. are not in line with each other."
Guo Jia was blinded, "You are such a good material as a counselor, why are you leading troops to fight!"
He turned to look at Yuan Xi, "Sir, are you right?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi said seriously: "Bo Yan is right."
Everything Lu Xun said is right!
