Born Guo Fengxiao, a hero ranks among the heroes. The history of scriptures is hidden in the abdomen, and armor soldiers are hidden in the chest.
Operational planning is like Fan Li, decision-making is like Chen Ping. It's a pity that he died first, and the pillars of the Central Plains fell apart. -----Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
Chen Long's words made Chen Qun recognize his master, and he was overjoyed. Chen Long asked about the current situation in the DPRK, and Chen Qun responded fluently, saying that the Yellow Turban troops were as strong as the wind and the remaining clouds. The imperial court was preparing to send Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, You Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, and Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi to recruit troops in a large scale. Talked all afternoon. Chen Long couldn't help but worry about Zhang Ning coming to Luoyang. Chen Yong just returned. Chen Long and Chen Qun agreed to go to the Guo family's old house early the next morning. The two reluctantly said goodbye.
Letting go and rushing back to Yingshui Inn in Yangzhai City, Chen Yong went to take care of some inn chores. When Zhou Buji and the other five people saw Chen Long coming back, they all waited outside the door. Chen Long was worried about the situation in Luoyang and ordered Lu Chang, Hu Ji, and Hao Pu: "You three will rush to Luoyang to start the station very early tomorrow. Liu Zulang. Bring Liu Xian's letters, get in touch with the people left behind in Luoyang, and investigate the situation in Luoyang, especially the recent announcements, orders, personnel appointments and removals, troop mobilization, etc., and try your best to collect them. In addition, , whether there are any insiders of ours in the DPRK, or officials who have been bribed, and sort out the list. I will arrive in Luoyang the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I will immediately formulate an action plan based on your intelligence." The three people responded: "No. .”
After giving instructions, Chen Long asked several people to go down to have dinner, leaving only Zhou Buyi in the guest room. Chen Long said: "Yuan Zhi, you will go to Guo's house with me tomorrow. You need to prepare in advance. Guo Jia is young and frivolous. I want you to compete with him. I hope you can win with your talent." Zhou Buyi's eyes burst out with power. With a cold look on his face, he said: "Master, you keep talking about Guo Jia. Could it be that he has only three heads and six arms? I, Zhou Yuanzhi, am not a jobber. Just trust me."
Seeing that Zhou Buyi was a little jealous, Chen Long hurriedly stroked Zhou Buyi's head and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, there is no doubt about your talent. Except for you, no one around me can beat Guo Jia. Both you and Guo Jia You are a genius, I hope you can both help me fight for world domination in the future. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Buji felt a little relieved and went down to make preparations.
Early the next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was pleasant. Chen Qun rode a big green horse and went to the inn to meet Chen Long. When the boss Chen Yong saw that Chen Qun was leading him, he stopped following him. Zu Lang prepared the horses and several people crossed the Yingshui Bridge astride the horses. Chen Qun pointed along the way and talked about the beautiful scenery of Yangzhai, and Zhou Buyi secretly took note of it. When he got off his horse at the Guo family's old house, Chen Qun said to the servant guarding the gate: "Chen Qun, the son of the patriarch of Jingshan Chen clan, is here to visit. I hope you will pay tribute to your master." The servant hurried away.
After several people waited for a while, the servant hurried back and said that the master would like to come to the Xuan Hall to serve tea. Chen Long asked Zu Lang to wait at the door, and Zhou Buyi followed Chen Qun into the courtyard. Behind the screen wall in the courtyard, under the eaves of the green tiles, there was a plaque with four big characters written on it: "The cool breeze is coming." Several people Walk under the plaque and walk towards the Xuan Hall. A man came out to greet him. He was wearing a jade hairpin and a brocade robe. He had eight-color eyebrows and three black beards. His face was like jade and there were few wrinkles. Chen Qun bowed and saluted and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry to bother you with this long article." He smiled and said: "My nephew, how is your father?" He waved his hands and invited everyone into the hall, and the servants served tea.
Chen Long and Zhou Buyi knew he was Guo Jia's father, so they followed Chen Qun and called him Uncle Shi. Chen Qun only said that Chen Long was a distant cousin. He heard about Guo Jia's name as a child prodigy and came to inquire about it. Hearing this, Father Guo laughed and said, "You are a naughty dog. If you have any talent or learning, why bother Changwen to come and invite him in person? I'll ask Fengxiao to wash up and come to see the guests."
Chen Long was looking forward to it, while Zhou Buji secretly chewed the flower seeds. After waiting for a while, the servants brought Guo Jia over. When Chen Long looked at it, he saw that Guo Jia still had his hair disheveled, with a hairband tied around his head. In the middle of the hairband was a piece of beautiful jade, which made his face as white as jade, with red lips and white teeth. She changed into regular clothes and tied her waist with a ribbon, which made her appear taller and more graceful. Zhou Buyi gritted his teeth and exhaled slightly, then whispered: "An embroidered pillow."
Guo Jia went to the hall to pay homage to his father and called Chen Qun his brother. Seeing Chen Long at first glance, he felt like he had seen him before. Chen Long stood up and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, do you remember that day in the moon landing tower? I am Chen Long, courtesy name Wenlong, and I came here to visit you." Father Guo snorted when he heard this. , Guo Jia blushed and said: "It turns out to be Brother Wenlong. It was just a class reunion that day, and he drank a little too much."
Guo's father obviously doted on Guo Jia, and did not pursue Guo Jia's drinking wine outside. He asked: "Wen Long came here to ask about the dog, but what does it mean? The dog is so naughty that it makes my nephew laugh."
Chen Long said with a smile: "I have a younger brother, whose nickname is Yuan Zhi. He is only twelve years old. He is full of literary talents and has great ideas. Everyone calls him a child prodigy. He has made an oath since he was a child to interview celebrities all over the world. He heard that Yang Zhai is a child prodigy. The name of filial piety is like thunder in the ears, so I came here today to ask for advice." After hearing this, Zhou Buyi suddenly stood up and stared at Guo Jia with big eyes, as if there was a fire burning between the two of them.
Father Guo chuckled and said: "My family is two years older than Fengxiao. He never studies hard and only knows how to behave and behave like dogs and horses. How can this literary talent be compared to your younger brother. However, Wenlong came from afar and is a child of the Chen family. This is also true." Yashi, Fengxiao, just compare yourself with this Yuan Zhi."
Seeing that his father agreed, Guo Jia felt helpless and said: "What kind of competition is that? I just accept all the moves." Chen Long said: "I heard that Fengxiao has scriptures and history in his belly and armored soldiers in his chest. Today I will take a test on scriptures and history. , the second test is the art of war, and the third test is debate, how about it?" Everyone nodded in praise.
The servant moved two futons, placed two small coffee tables in front of the futons, and prepared diabolo slips and writing brushes. The two prodigies sat down in front of the hall. The two prodigies were one tall and one short, one fat and one thin. Yuan Zhi looked expectant, while Feng Xiao looked helpless. Chen Long said: "I can't ask this question, otherwise it will be suspected of cheating. Brother Changwen, how about you ask the question today?" Chen Qun nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "The Book of Songs says, 'Yi Xing Wen Wang' What do you mean by saying, "I will help the widowed wife, and I will take care of my brothers to protect my country?" When Zhou Buyi and Guo Jia heard this, Zhou Buyi lowered his head and thought, but Guo Jia waved it off. At once.
Chen Qun and Chen Long took over the bamboo slips written by Guo Jia, and wrote: "Imitate the sages and lead by example. The implementation of morality and the spread of education must start from the people around you, from near to far, before it can eventually be spread throughout the world." . Chen Qun nodded and looked at Zhou Buyi who had finished writing. Seeing that what Zhou Buyi had written was almost the same, he nodded and said: "What the two virtuous brothers wrote is generally correct. However, Fengxiao is faster, but Fengxiao is faster in this round." Won."
Guo Jia nodded proudly, turned around and looked around, but didn't look at Zhou Buyi. Zhou Buyi was beaten 1:0 by Guo Jia, and he scratched his head anxiously, hating that he was slow and had been taken advantage of by Guo Jia. Chen Qun continued: "The second item is the art of war. Nowadays, the Yellow Turban bandits are sweeping the world. Zhang Jiao is stationed in Guangzong with heavy troops, Bo Cai is stationed in Runan, and Zhang Mancheng is stationed in Nanyang. How about the two wise nephews? If you lead an army, how can you defeat Zhang Man and form an army?"
This time it was Guo Jia's turn to scratch his head. Although he was familiar with the art of war, he was still young and not very familiar with the geography of Nanyang. Zhou Buyi likes to collect the geography of various places and make his own atlases. He writes down several attack strategies and even draws sketches, clearly marking the attack routes and ambush points on the enemy's escape route. Clearly. After the two handed over the papers, Chen Qun commented that Zhou Buyi won this round. Guo Jia read Zhou Buqi's answer sheet and secretly admired him. On the surface, he was still bullish and refused to lose morale.
When Chen Qun saw that the two were tied, he was very happy and asked them to sit opposite each other. At this moment, the two of them were unable to avoid each other. They both looked at each other with wide eyes. Where their eyes met, it was like lightning and thunder. Chen Qun said: "The third session is a debate. Human nature has good and evil. Mencius believes that human nature is inherently good, and Xunzi believes that human nature is inherently evil. You two can each choose a side and you can debate." Before he finished speaking, the two prodigies replied in unison: " I choose human nature to be evil!”
Several people were startled when they heard this. The two prodigies looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter. The atmosphere became much more relaxed. Chen Long thought to himself, these two people are little wolves. Talking to them about the goodness of human nature is like playing the piano to wolves. Chen Qun said helplessly: "Since you two have the same point of view, I will change the question. When Emperor Xianwu was in power, Xianliang Wenxue and Sang Hongyang debated salt and iron, and finally Yantie was dismissed from the official camp. The two nephews believed that, Under the current situation, should this salt and iron business be exclusively owned by the government? The debate has begun."
When the two prodigies heard this, they both lowered their heads and thought. Chen Long quickly checked the salt-iron debate in Guang's mind and already had the answer in his mind. Guo Jia raised his head and said: "I believe that during wartime, Salt and Iron should be operated by the government; during peacetime, it should be liberalized for business operations."
Chen Long listened and nodded slightly. Guo Jia's words must be the correct answer. Unexpectedly, Zhou Buyi said: "Fengxiao's words are exactly in line with my intention, but I can't argue."
Everyone laughed when they heard this and asked Chen Qun to change the topic again. Chen Qun rolled his eyes angrily and said: "Some people think that the world was created by gods, and drinking and pecking it is destiny; some people think that the so-called gods and Buddhas are just lies. What do the two nephews think?"
The two prodigies looked at each other, and suddenly said at the same time: "The world is so big, how can there be any gods and Buddhas!" After saying that, they stood up at the same time, laughing, and a pair of small hands were tightly clasped together.
Chen Qun's beard was almost out of breath, and he coughed repeatedly to hide his embarrassment. Chen Long laughed loudly, stood up and said, "Uncle Guo, these two prodigies are indeed full of glory. How about being unbeaten today?" Father Guo also put his hands on his hands and laughed and said, "You brother, you are definitely the best." Guo Jianeng is a rare military talent who is lucky enough to meet him, and it is also his blessing. Children play house, who cares about victory or defeat? Today at noon, you will have a meal here to support Wenlong!" Chen Long was overjoyed, knowing that Zhou Buji Father Guo had already approved, so he nodded and sat down.
Guo Jia and Zhou Buyi, the prodigies, competed in a duel, winning and losing, and they both felt sympathy for each other. Guo Jia took Zhou Buyi and asked him to explain the geography of Nanyang County. The two went hand in hand to Guo Jia's room. During the luncheon, Chen Long once again made some wise remarks about being kind to the people and political consultation. Chen Qun added fuel to the fire, making Guo's father fall to the ground and Guo Jia listened thoughtfully.
After having enough wine and food, Chen Long filled another glass of fine wine and said to Father Guo: "Fengxiao's future is limitless. If we want to solve this troubled world and relieve the people from hanging upside down, we need talents like Fengxiao. Yuan Zhi Although he is young, I personally teach him, and his knowledge has been praised as a child prodigy. Now the prefect of Lingling has appointed Yuan Zhi as the chief military advisor. Although Fengxiao is young, he is two years older than Yuan Zhi, and his knowledge exceeds Yuan Zhi, so why not allow him to do so? Is he going to serve as an official? If approved, I would like to act as a guarantor and let Feng Xiao and Yuan Zhi serve as Lingling military advisors. What do you think, Uncle Shi?"
Father Guo was startled when he heard this, frowned and said: "I originally wanted to let him receive the crown of filial piety before considering becoming an official. Moreover, this child has never traveled far away, and he is very naughty. How can he go to Lingling?" Chen Qun beside him? Seeing the troubled expression on Guo's father's face, he said: "Uncle Shi, Fengxiao is a dragon or a phoenix among people. Sooner or later, he will stand out. How can he waste his time at home? Besides, King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of twelve, and King Cheng was crowned at fifteen. Fengxiao I have reached the age where I can be honored. To be honest, Uncle Shi, the prefect of Lingling has invited me to serve as an official. I have already agreed and am just waiting for the approval of the old patriarch. Fengxiao is my younger brother, so I will naturally take care of him, and he always takes care of me. The position of military advisor is higher than mine, so naturally he can lead his own troops, so what else do you have to worry about?"
Father Guo looked at Guo Jia, still very hesitant, and asked Guo Jiandao: "Fengxiao, do you want to become an official now?" Guo Jiagong said respectfully: "I heard that a true man should think of the world. I have only traveled a little, if I can leave home Traveling, naturally, like Yuan Zhi, you can read all the geography of the world and master the art of war. However, this matter is all decided by my father, and my opinion is not important." After saying this, he bowed deeply, as if he was willing to go.
When Father Guo heard this, he was silent for a long time. He couldn't bear to leave this Qilin'er, and he was afraid that it would delay his son's early appointment as a deputy municipal cadre. Then he said to Chen Qun: "Changwen, I appreciate your kindness. Lingling is too far away. If Yuanzhi works in the surrounding counties, I won't hesitate. That's great. You can go back and report it to the old patriarch. If the old patriarch If I agree to let you go, I will agree to let Fengxiao follow you, what do you think?"
