In Xiangyang City, there is a post house in the west of the city.
This is a recruitment hall rebuilt by Liu Biao specifically to house talented people. No matter where you come from, as long as you are talented, and whether you are willing to work for Liu Biao or not, Liu Biao is willing to house you, provide accommodation, provide free food, and ensure that you are hungry. No stomachache.
In the post house, in the hall.
Many scholars gathered in Xiangyang to discuss the upcoming birthday party of Liu Biao.
Many of these people had never served Liu Biao, but they had received Liu Biao's kindness and invitation. They would go to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion to attend a birthday banquet together on December 18th.
"Not only are we participating in Liu Jingzhou's birthday banquet, I heard that Nanjun, Jiangxia County, Wuling, Changsha County and other places will send people to attend. It can be said that this birthday banquet is unprecedented."
"Jiangxia County, Wuling County, Changsha County and other places are all within Jingzhou. What's so strange about this? Also coming to the banquet this time is Lu Xuan, the prefect of Lujiang County in Yangzhou. He is already on his way. I heard that everyone is here. We are going to Jingzhou."
"Lu Xuan is not very old. I heard he is only in his early twenties. Not only can he make a fuss, but he is also very capable in leading troops in battles and is very skillful."
"Lu Xuan is Lu Kang's son. He comes from a famous family and is indeed prominent."
There was constant discussion.
Many discussions suddenly turned to Lu Xuan, talking about Lu Xuan's affairs in Lujiang County.
"Hahaha……"
Hearty laughter suddenly resounded.
Many scholars in the posthouse followed the sound and frowned when they saw the young man sitting. There was even a trace of disgust and hostility on the faces of most people.
The young man’s name is Ni Heng.
He is tall, slender and tall, and has a handsome appearance. Sitting in the hall, he feels like he stands out from the crowd.
Mi Heng is an outstanding young man with outstanding talents and learning. The only problem is that Mi Heng has a bad mouth, harsh words, and likes yin and yang weird people. Regardless of whether you are a high-ranking official or an ordinary scholar, Mi Heng will ridicule you equally.
The key is that Mi Heng has a powerful mouth and is very eloquent. People who argue with Mi Heng rarely win, and almost always get criticized.
Many people don't like Mi Heng.
Mi Heng's eyes were sharp. After scanning around, he said loudly: "Lu Xuan is famous only because of his popularity and his origin in the Lu family. Everything he has is not relying on himself, but relying on the Lu family to operate behind the scenes." Lu Kang is behind us."
"Back then, Lu Xuan was called Lu Sanju, and he stammered. Suddenly, he became famous in Daguanlou, Shu County. This was a strange thing. So I think it was a double act jointly performed by the Lu family and the Qiao family, and they deliberately Lu Xuan became famous."
"As for Lu Xuan being able to win the battle, on the one hand Lu Kang is great, on the other hand Yuan Shu is useless. That's why Lu Xuan became famous."
"Lu Xuan, not worth mentioning."
"This time Lu Xuan congratulates Liu Jingzhou on his birthday. I want to meet Lu Xuan for a while and let him know that our Jingzhou is not weaker than him and can even crush him. In terms of appearance, there are countless handsome and elegant people who can directly crush him. Suppress him. In terms of Confucian classics and talent, there are people who can crush him."
Many people chuckled upon hearing this.
Isn’t this self-promotion?
Who doesn’t know that you are talking about yourself?
Mi Heng looked confident, regardless of other people, he continued: "Lu Xuan became famous because there were no heroes in Lujiang County, so Zhuzi became famous. When Lu Xuan came to Jingzhou, a tiger had to lie down, and a dragon crossing the river had to be coiled. In my case There is nothing that cannot be suppressed in front of Mi Heng."
Many people even shook their heads.
Mi Heng is like this.
This style is Mi Heng's way of doing things.
Yi Ji was Liu Biao's subordinate and was from the same hometown as Liu Biao. He went to Xiangyang to work for Liu Biao and won Liu Biao's trust.
Yi Ji saw Mi Heng's attitude and reminded him: "Mi Heng, Lu Xuan is a man of real talent and learning, and he was invited by the Zhou Mu. Before you provoke Lu Xuan, you must think twice and don't act recklessly."
Mi Heng rolled his eyes at Yi Ji, with a look of contempt on his angular face, and said disdainfully: "Yi Ji, what do you know? Real gold is not afraid of fire. If Lu Xuan has real talent and knowledge, he will not be afraid of my challenge. If he is a strong-willed person, I will expose him even more."
"Lu Xuan's man, I have to prove that he has real talent and learning. He has no talent and learning, and yet he dares to show off. It's my duty to expose him. Yi Ji, if you speak to Lu Xuan, is it possible that you are accepting Lu Xuan's benefits?"
Yi Ji frowned and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Mi Heng, you have an impatient temper. My lord doesn't care. The Jingzhou scholars will let you go. But Lu Xuan is also young. He is not from Jingzhou, so he won't spoil you."
"You are the only one who is impatient. Your whole family is impatient."
Mi Heng's eyes were frighteningly bright and he said urgently: "Yi Ji, if you are afraid of Lu Xuan, just say so directly. If you want to curry favor with Lu Xuan, go ahead and no one will stop you. But you treat the people of Jingzhou as cowards." , this won’t work, I don’t agree. I, Mi Heng, want to let Lu Xuan know about the splendid writing style in Jingzhou.”
When many scholars around him heard Mi Heng's words, some rolled their eyes and some twitched their cheeks.
Coward?
Who is the coward in Jingzhou?
There is no contradiction or conflict between the Jingzhou scholars and Lu Xuan, not to mention that you, Mi Heng, are from the north. When did you represent the Jingzhou scholars?
But no one spoke.
Everyone knows that Mi Heng is like a mad dog. If Mi Heng is angered, the other party will bark like a mad dog. After all, this kind of thing has happened many times in Xiangyang City.
"You are simply unreasonable."
Yiji flicked his sleeves, turned his back to Mi Heng, and stopped talking.
He meant well.
Unfortunately, Mi Heng is completely ungrateful.
Mi Heng didn't take Yi Ji seriously, and said confidently: "Lu Xuan is just a mere person, not worth mentioning. I just want to see what Lu Xuan is like. Communicating with Yi Ji like you is like a summer bug, but I can't talk about it."
Yiji's cheeks twitched.
Mi Heng really deserves a beating.
Many scholars looked at Mi Heng with expectation. Although they all hate Mi Heng, they also like Mi Heng, because wherever you are there, there will be fun. They don't want to be targeted by Mi Heng, but Mi Heng's targeting of people is worthwhile.
"A group of people, sycophantic, boring."
Mi Heng snorted.
He stood up and strode away.
He didn't like to get along with a group of people. He felt sick listening to these people flattering Liu Biao and praising Lu Xuan.
After Yi Ji saw it, he also got up and left the post house and came to the Zhou Mu Mansion.
When Yiji saw Liu Biao, he said, "My lord."
Liu Biao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Uncle Ji, what can I do for you?"
Yi Ji sighed and replied: "Beizhi was previously at the post house to receive scholars who came to Xiangyang, and met Mi Heng. He said that Lu Xuan was not worthy of his name. When Lu Xuan arrived in Xiangyang, he was going to challenge Lu Xuan and expose Lu Xuan's true face. , let’s see if Lu Xuan Caixue is true or not. Mi Heng is too good at stirring up trouble, and even good things may be turned into bad things by him. So I think this matter must be handled well, and he cannot be allowed to provoke Lu Xuan.”
Liu Biao had deep eyes, thinking about things.
After a long while, Liu Biao laughed and said, "Actually, it's a good thing for Mi Heng to provoke me."
Yi Ji asked: "Why?"
Liu Biao said: "This person Mi Heng is very annoying, there is no doubt about it. At first, I also wanted to reuse him, but his character was really unlikable. However, when he tried Lu Xuan, he also nothing much?"
"Lu Xuan is also a young man. What's the point of fighting between young people and young people?"
"I don't think it has any impact."
"Mi Heng is just living in Xiangyang. He is not my subordinate and cannot represent me. If Lu Xuan can't even solve Mi Heng's provocation, then Lu Xuan's ability may not be worthy of the name. Such Lujiang County is not worth it. We take it seriously.”
"If Lu Xuan can deal with Mi Heng, beat Ni Heng, and make Ni Heng suffer, why not do it? I hope that Mi Heng will suffer. I can't deal with Mi Heng, otherwise it will be true and people will think that I can't tolerate people. Yes. Lu Xuan, this is a good thing."
Liu Biao talked eloquently and said: "It is not a bad thing to control things within a controllable range."
Yi Ji thought for a moment and said, "I'm worried that when Lu Xuan arrives, Mi Heng may cause trouble and cause uncontrollable trouble."
Liu Biao flicked his sleeves and said firmly: "I only have one standard, Mi Heng cannot represent me. In addition, regarding the matter of welcoming Lu Xuan, you and Kuai Yue go together. When the time comes, you specifically remind Lu Xuan to be careful of Mi Heng. This way, we can’t be blamed.”
Yi Ji said: "My lord is wise."
A smile appeared on Liu Biao's well-maintained face, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Ji, there are many scholars coming to Jingzhou during this period. You are responsible for the reception, so you have to put more thought into it and try your best to recruit people for me."
"I understand the humble position."
Yi Ji nodded and answered.
He didn't stay, got up and went to see Kuai Yue to inform him of the matter.
