"It turns out that your Excellency is Zhuge Xuan, the governor of Yuzhang. Cui Yan is polite here." Cui Yan stood up, bowed to Zhuge Xuan and said.
When Zhuge Xuan saw Cui Yan's actions, he looked panicked and hurriedly stood up and helped Cui Yan up: "Master Cui, you must not do this. I can't bear it!" [bsp; Zhuge Xuan is the uncle of Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang. In Zhuge Liang's case, Before Zhuge Jin became famous, he had held various official positions and was considered a celebrity. Two years ago, he was sent by the court to be the governor of Yuzhang. But two months ago, the court appointed Zhu Hao as the governor of Yuzhang. Zhu Hao was the son of Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun was a good friend of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. Zhu Hao came to take office this time, but he had no troops and no power. In addition, the court was occupied by Dong Zhuo, so no one would accept his appointment, not even Zhuge Xuan.
When both sides could not give up, Zhu Hao could only borrow troops from Liu Yao. The troops came to the city and forced Zhuge Xuan to withdraw from Yuzhang. From then on, Zhuge Xuan had no choice but to come to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao.
After Cui Yan sat back in his seat, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but sigh, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Master Cui, I don't know, but now I am no longer the governor of Yuzhang, but just a commoner."
After Zhuge Xuan finished drinking the wine, Cui Yan poured it for him personally. Cui Yan also had some idea of ??what happened to him. The Bingzhou Intelligence Network is not a vegetarian. The incident happened two months ago. How could he, Cui Yan, not know about it.
"Cui also knows something about the Yuzhang incident. The imperial court is ignorant and immoral, and the emperor is already a puppet." Cui Yan and Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but talk about the world, and they were both very satisfied. We hit it off, and after a few glasses of wine we could talk about anything.
"Brother Zhuge, if you don't mind, just call me Ji Gui. The word "sir" seems too unfamiliar." Although Zhuge Xuan's talents are not as good as those of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin in the future, he has unique management skills. In this regard, I have to say that the Zhuge family is extremely talented. No, during the discussion between Cui Yan and Zhuge Xuan, he was interested in the other person's talents and was thinking about how to get him to go to Bingzhou with him.
"Since I have said so, I am acting like a mother-in-law when I refuse." Zhuge Xuan raised his glass and said with a smile, "By the way, I wonder if Brother Cui, who has any position in Jingzhou, can help me meet the governor Liu in an accommodating manner."
Hearing Zhuge Xuan¡¯s words, Cui Yan knew that Zhuge Xuan had misunderstood and regarded herself as Liu Biao¡¯s subordinate. He couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm afraid this matter will disappoint Brother Zhuge. Jiu is not from Jingzhou, and he does not hold an official position in Jingzhou."
"I don't hold an official position in Jingzhou, but why did I just meet the steward" Zhuge Xuan was very puzzled. Before he finished speaking, Cui Yan on the side quickly interrupted, "Brother Zhuge , Ji is from Bingzhou¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.¡±
Cui Yan did not hide anything, and explained his identity to Zhuge Xuan one by one. Zhuge Xuan also didn't expect to meet Cui Yan who was under Liu Long's tent in Bingzhou, and he couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment on his face.
Looking at Zhuge Xuan's expression, Cui Yan asked, "Brother Zhuge, you have come to seek refuge with Liu Biao this time. I wonder if you have thought about the future. Can Liu Biao hold on to Jingzhou in the future? And you?" Is it important to get Liu Biao in Jingzhou where there are so many talented people?"
Cui Yan asked Zhuge Xuan a few questions as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but ponder. In these troubled times, the princes of the world are raising their poles, and war is inevitable. Luoyang has been burned, not to mention Jingzhou?
Zhuge Xuan didn't know whether Liu Biao could hold on to Jingzhou, but one thing he knew was that his people who came from other places could not be compared with the large clans in Jingzhou. Liu Biao was able to be where he is today not only because he was a member of the Han clan, but also because his biggest support was the powerful clan in Jingzhou. As Cui Yan said, is it important that Zhuge Xuan can win over Liu Biao this time?
"Brother Zhuge, let me put it bluntly. Liu Biao's talents are only limited to one-third of an acre in Jingzhou. If the world is peaceful, he is indeed a good Mingzhu. But if the world is in chaos, Liu Biao will be mediocre. One person, Jingzhou will not be in the hands of this person for long." Cui Yan said with certainty, and he was also very clear about Zhuge Xuan's words, which clearly stated that within a few years, the Liu Jiajun army would definitely move south.
"You have to strike while the iron is hot." Seeing that Zhuge Xuan didn't say much, he began to think deeply. Cui Yan hurriedly continued, "Brother Zhuge, my lord is thirsty for talents and loves the people like his own son. Although Bingzhou today is not as good as Jingzhou, it is still a prosperous place "
Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but ponder. At this time, he didn't know what to say. Instead, Zhuge Jin looked at his uncle with his eyes, anxiously waiting for his uncle's decision. Originally, Zhuge Jin did not agree with his uncle's defection to Liu Biao. Although he was young, he was more tolerant than Zhuge Xuan. Originally, he was planning to go north to find the Ming Lord, but because the world was not peaceful, his family could not bear the hard work. Now, after listening to Cui Yan, Zhuge Jin was even more clear about his words.
"Uncle, what Mr. Cui said is true, Liu"This is not the Ming Lord we are looking for. Why don't we follow Mr. Ji and go north." "Zhuge Xuan was deep in thought, while Cui Yan quietly waited for the other party's reply. But when it became quiet, Zhuge Jin finally said what he was thinking.
Liu Long and Liu Biao both belong to the Han clan, but compared to their fame, Liu Biao really can't keep up with Liu Long. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Long has already become famous all over the world. It's just that the territory he left behind was merged with the state, so many nobles and others couldn't take him seriously. As a result, Bingzhou's talents were withered, which could not be compared with Jingzhou's abundant talents. Because of this, Zhuge Xuan couldn't make up his mind again and again.
"Uncle, what my eldest brother said is right. If you want to find a master of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Long and Liu Bowen are the best candidates. Since Dong Zhuo came, heroes have risen together, and there are countless people who cross states and counties. Now the world is in chaos. Liu Biao's character and talent will not last for a few years in this troubled world, and these troubled times need a wise leader to control, and Liu Long is the best candidate. Therefore, my nephew also agreed with his elder brother and went north together." One of them looked like The child, who was only about ten years old and had a clean face and a milky voice, emerged from the crowd.
When the child finished speaking, Cui Yan's face was full of surprise. He couldn't help but look at the child and thought to himself that most of the opinions in the world come from the mouth of a child. Facing Zhuge Xuandao, "Brother Zhuge, I wonder if these two are
"Well, these two are my nephews, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang." When he mentioned his two nephews, a rare smile appeared on Zhuge Xuan's face, and his smile was full of pride. His two nephews have been extraordinary since they were young, especially Zhuge Liang, who made Zhuge Xuan place high hopes on the Zhuge family.
Looking at Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang in front of him, Cui Yan decided in his heart that Zhuge Xuan and his family would be taken to Bingzhou no matter what. They were not simple people in the family.
However, when Cui Yan was having wild thoughts, a pair of big eyes were staring at Cui Yan closely, as if he could see through Cui Yan's mind. This person is none other than Xiao Zhuge.
