Kuai Liang looked at everyone's surprised expressions. He seemed very calm. He stood up on his own initiative and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Kuai Liang, I've met you all. I'm new here. If I don't do well, please give me some advice and don't hesitate to teach me."
Zhang Zhao did not dare to neglect, he stood up quickly and said: "Zhang Zhao, the great master of Lujiang, has met Mr. Kuai."
Kuai Liang smiled and returned the favor. "
Zhao Gui, Li Qian, Yan Xiang and others all stood up and saluted. Each of them looked serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Zhou Yu also stood up and returned the greeting.
He knew Kuai Liang, this gentleman was also well-known in Jingzhou and was a real mainstay. Zhou Yu received the news that Kuai Liang was out of work due to illness. In fact, it is said that he was dissatisfied with Liu Biao.
Now that Kuai Liang has come to Lujiang County, it is naturally very good for the development of Lujiang County.
Lu Xuan took two steps forward, stood in front of Xu Shu, and said with a smile: "This man's name is Xu Shu, his surname is Yuan Zhi, and he studied under Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Jingzhou. Pang Degong's evaluation of Xu Shu said that he has the talent to stabilize the country. It is also called Wolong."
Xu Shu lost consciousness for a moment, then regained his composure.
Wolong?
When did Pang Gong give the evaluation?
Not at all.
Xu Shu's heart beat, and he stood up with a smile, standing next to Lu Xuan, feeling even more pressure in his heart. The lord gave him the reputation of Wolong, and praised him, saying that he had the talent to stabilize the country. If he couldn't do it, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to the lord?
At this moment, Xu Shu was under great pressure.
Xu Shu could only bite the bullet, face the officials of Lujiang County, and said calmly: "Xu Shu of Lumen Mountain, I pay my respects to you all, and please give me your advice."
Zhang Zhao's temples bulged again.
The Lord calls him Wolong, which is certainly not simple.
Moreover, Zhang Zhao also knew that Duke Pang De of Jingzhou was a famous person in Jingzhou and he was very powerful. Pang Degong's disciples came to Lujiang, and together with Kuai Liang, this was like a fierce dragon crossing the river.
Zhang Zhao became even more vigilant in his heart.
When there are more talents, there will be competition.
Did the Lord introduce so many Jingzhou scholars to balance the two sides?
Zhang Zhao thought a lot, and without having time to think carefully, he bowed his hands and saluted again, as did Yan Xiang, Zhao Gui and others.
Lu Xuan took another step forward, walked to Pang Tong's side, and said with a smile: "This young man's name is Pang Tong. Although he looks very ordinary, he is the nephew of Pang Degong. He has been with Pang Degong since he was a child. He has outstanding talents. "
"Whether it's governing the place or military strategy, he knows it very well. What he lacks now is sharpening. Sima Hui, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, once commented on Pang Tong, calling him Fengxiao. He said that with his chest full of strategies and knowledge, it would be easy to govern the country and secure the country. .”
"I spent a lot of time to get Pang Degong to agree to Pang Tong follow me to Lujiang County."
Lu Xuan's voice came out again.
Pang Tong's cheeks twitched and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu.
When the lord introduced Xu Shu, he listened to the lord bragging to Xu Shu about Wolong. He snickered in his heart, feeling that Xu Shu was being roasted on the fire this time. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, it would be his turn.
When did Mr. Sima comment on him?
Nothing.
Pang Tong didn't dare to expose Lu Xuan. He noticed the looks of everyone in Lujiang and felt sad when he saw the importance in their eyes. He is young and has shouldered so much.
This time, he cannot be lazy and must go all out, otherwise he will lose face, not only his own face, but also the face of Lumen Mountain.
Pang Tong felt helpless, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Pang Tong of Lumen Mountain, I have met you all, please give me some advice."
Zhang Zhao saluted somewhat numbly. He didn't think that the person Lu Xuan invited back was in vain. From the beginning, no one invited by Lu Xuan was incompetent. There are unknown people, but they are all highly capable.
Whether it is Taishi Ci, Zuo Ci, or Zhou Tai, they are all very powerful people.
This must be the case for all the scholars in Jingzhou.
Zhao Gui, Li Qian and other assistants in the prefecture's mansion were all like this. They all looked solemn. The prefecture's mansion in Lujiang County is so big. Suddenly, so many people came. How should they arrange their duties?
Lu Xuan noticed the expressions of Zhang Zhao and others and smiled softly in his heart.
He calmly walked up to Huang Zhong and said: "After introducing the Jingzhou scribes who came back, we also talked about the generals. The man in front of me is named Huang Zhong. He looks a little white on the temples, but he He has courage that no man can match. Zhou Tai was completely crushed in front of Huang Zhong."
He looked at Zhou Tai and asked, "Zhou Tai, have you ever fought with Huang Zhong?"
Zhou Tai said sarcastically: "Reporting to my lord, I fought with Lao Huang in humble position, and I was completely crushed. The worst time was when I only took ten moves and lost. Lao Huang's strength is unparalleled. At least, I have never seen such a strong person. If I join forces with Tai Shici, I’m afraid I won’t be able to defeat Huang Zhong.”
Huang Zhong smiled calmly and said: "Zhou Tai exaggerated, I am not that powerful. Huang Zhong, I have met all of you gentlemen."
Zhang Zhao was shocked and numb.
The Huang Zhong in front of him could actually overpower Zhou Tai and Tai Shi Ci, which was quite terrifying. Everyone in Lujiang County knew that Zhou Tai was very powerful, and they all knew that Taishi Ci was stronger, but they didn't expect that Huang Zhong was even more powerful.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help it and cut off a beard. He frowned slightly, and could only smile and return the favor again, as did everyone else.
Zhou Yu also stood up to greet him, with a look of joy in his eyes.
He didn't care whether the person Lu Xuan invited was from Lujiang or Jingzhou. He only cares about one thing, Huang Zhong is Lu Xuan's man, that's enough. Lu Xuan's men lacked such peerless warriors.
The existence of Huang Zhong made up for such a flaw.
Lu Xuan pointed at Gan Ning and continued: "This man's name is Gan Ning. He is from Yizhou. He comes from Yizhou. Gan Ning is as good at martial arts as Zhou Tai. He is very brave. He is good at navy. This time I came back from Jingzhou and hired fifty craftsmen from Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia. Next, I will form a naval army, with Gan Ning as the chief general, and the number will be 5,000."
"Gan Ning, I have met all of you gentlemen."
Gan Ning also followed suit and saluted accordingly.
Zhang Zhao and others were okay this time. After all, Gan Ning was not particularly ferocious.
Lu Xuan introduced everyone, returned to his seat, waved his hand for everyone to sit down, he smiled and said: "Everyone knows each other, the next step is to work together, work together, and create a future together. Come, work for our Let’s have a drink together in the future, please!”
He held the wine bottle and greeted everyone from a distance.
"Lord, please!"
Everyone answered in unison.
After Lu Xuan drank the wine, he put down the wine bottle in his hand and said again: "This time I went to Jingzhou for the banquet. I think there are four main gains. The first is the food and armor that have been sent back before. Liu Biao and The Cai family sent it. Although it’s not too much, this batch of food is of great help to us and can help a lot of refugees.”
"Second, I have recruited Kuai Liang, Huang Zhong and other civil and military talents. If Lujiang County wants to develop and grow, it must have more talents. With countless talents, Lujiang County can go further."
"Third, I visited Jingzhou this time. Liu Biao and I formed an alliance to help each other. In addition, I also received support from the Cai family, Kuai family and Pang family in Jingzhou. If we attack Jingzhou in the future, these people will be our help."
"Speaking of alliances, there is one more thing I want to mention. I have also formed an alliance with Huang Zu of Jiangxia County. We are also helping each other."
Lu Xuan was talking eloquently, and the civil and military people belonging to Lujiang County in the hall were all surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan did so many things.
Lu Xuan's mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip of wine.
Zhang Zhao was used to it and was completely numb by shock. He stabilized his mind, and as a qualified admirer, he looked at Lu Xuan and asked: "My lord, there is a fourth thing, what is it?"
All eyes fell on Lu Xuan.
Wait for Lu Xuan to speak.
Lu Xuan had satisfied his appetite, sat up straight, and said loudly: "Liu Biao has presented to the court and recommended me to be Yangzhou Shepherd. From then on, I will take a step further and handle matters as Yangzhou Mu."
Wow! !
In the hall, discussions started instantly.
Zhang Zhao, Yan Xiang, Zhao Gui, Li Qian and other assistant officials in the prefecture, as well as generals such as Zhou Yu and Jiang Qin, were all talking about it.
In other words, Kuai Liang and others already knew the news, so they were used to it.
However, Zhang Zhao and others couldn't stand still. The news was too shocking. Liu Biao was granted the title of Mu of Jingzhou, General of Zhennan, and Marquis of Chengwu by the imperial court. He was also granted the right to take holidays, and he was a royal family member. Such people have the right to recommend officials to the table, and Liu Biao's recommendation is justifiable.
This kind of recommendation is very different from being a state pastor, so everyone is extremely excited.
Many people were still worried just now that Lu Xuan had brought back so many talents at once. How would the Prefecture make arrangements?
No worries now.
If Lu Xuan controls the entire Yangzhou, then the number of people they have under Lu Xuan's command will not be enough to fill their teeth.
Zhang Zhao was also happy for Lu Xuan from the bottom of his heart. He stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, for reaching the next level."
"Congratulations, lord, for reaching the next level."
"Congratulations, lord, for reaching the next level."
Other civil and military officials in Lujiang County also expressed their congratulations, congratulating Lu Xuan and feeling happy for themselves. Lu Xuan's status as the governor of Lujiang County has risen to a higher level, which means that they have also risen to a higher level.
Lu Xuan looked at the happy people and their high morale, with a smile on his face.
This was the purpose of his grand introduction.
Take this to boost morale.
Lu Xuan wants everyone to know one thing. If you follow him, Lu Xuan, you will get benefits, that is, you will have meat to eat, and you will have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
If you want the people below to work for you, you must not only talk about ideals, ambitions, and the future, but also need practical benefits. You have to let the people below you see the benefits and get the benefits, so that you can encourage these people to follow you and move forward bravely and diligently.
Otherwise, who would be willing to follow you to death?
After Lu Xuan said something, he toasted again and began to toast each other frequently. Everyone present came and went to toast, the atmosphere was warm, and everyone got to know each other at the banquet.
A banquet where guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
In the end, many people got drunk.
Yan Xiang was old and had no strength for drinking. He got drunk without drinking much. Xu Shu and Pang Tong were the proud disciples of Lumen Mountain. Many people toasted and they all got drunk. Gan Ning had a bold personality, and he was still drunk after drinking glass after glass of wine.
Zhao Gui, Li Qian and others also drank too much because they were happy.
Lu Xuan arranged for Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Gan Ning and others to be accommodated, and sent Zhao Gui, Li Qian and others away.
I can't help it, I'm so happy.
That's understandable.
Lu Xuan did not blame these people. It was actually good to release them occasionally. The only ones who were not drunk were Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong.
Lu Xuan took the four of them back to the study. After having someone make some sobering tea, they all drank the tea. Lu Xuan then looked at Zhang Zhao and said with a smile, "Mr. Zibu, tell me about the situation in Lujiang County?"
