Eastern Han Empire, Xindu, Hebei.
Zhang He leaned against the city tower and looked at the avenue below: "Why didn't that so-called big man appear yet?"
Gao Lan said: "This kind of celebrity is naturally accustomed to showing off his character."
Zhang He said: "The lord went out of the city to greet him for ten miles. What a grand etiquette. Poor our generals have devoted their lives to expand their territory, but the result is not as good as those scholars who only know how to flatter and flatter. This kind of treatment is so different, I can't help but feel angry when I think about it."
Gao Lan sighed: "You remembered that guy Guo Tu?"
Zhang He did not answer and said, "I hope the strategist who came this time is not the same as him."
Gao Lan smiled and said, "Actually, I have heard that this guy is from that sect and is one of the best talents in it. It is said that he is better than half of the country. This time he went down the mountain to choose a lord, and all the princes were already eyeing him. Our lord was so kind to be so courteous that he wanted to keep him in Hebei..."
Zhang He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it is that sect, what is his evaluation when he was in the army?"
Gao Lan said solemnly: "Wang Zuo!"
Zhang He sighed, "No wonder our lord was so willing to wait."
Gao Lan smiled and said, "I'm afraid of such courtesy in real time, so I may not be able to leave him..."
Zhang He said lightly: "The lord is entrenched in Jizhou, with elite soldiers and sufficient food. Such a strong capital is enough to shake him. Then again, what is this guy's name?"
Gao Lan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be... Xun Yu."
At the same time, I believe in the capital.
Guo’s Mansion.
Roqi stood in front of the mansion and bowed, "Please inform Mr. Guo and say that old friends from Yue Kingdom are visiting each other."
The servant hurried in and reported, asking them to wait for a moment.
Xi Shi said in confusion: "How can your highness be sure that the man surnamed Guo is Mr. Fan?"
Roche chuckled and said, "I'm guessing."
Luo Qi did guess, but it was not a fool. He remembered that Fan Li retired in history and became a wealthy business three times after he lived in seclusion. Therefore, when he settled in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was likely to regain this path. With this business saint's extraordinary ability to get rich, he would definitely not be silent.
The most famous foreign merchant in Hebei is Guo Zhutao, and Luo Qi believes that this is obviously Fan Li's pseudonym.
A servant half-beared and said, "Master, please come in."
Roqi stepped into the main hall and saw Guo Zhutao who had been waiting for a long time. He was wearing a round neckline and wide-sleeved robe. Although he was over 50 years old, he still looked majestic and full of the style of a famous scholar.
When Guo Zhutao saw Luo Qi, he quickly bowed and said, "Fan Li, a wise man, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Roqi saw him claiming to be a grass-roots person, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Is it that your father was banished by a plan to exile the gentleman. Are you still worried about this?"
Fan Li said repeatedly: "The people dare not!"
Luo Qi did not answer, but bowed to the end: "The State of Yue has been ashamed of Mr. Yue for many years, and Xiao Wang is willing to apologize for his father. However, Xiao Wang is now forced by Qin and is already wandering and desperate. Today, he came to ask for a visit to Mr. Yue just to ask you to come out again. I wonder if Mr. Yue can ignore his past grudges and assist Xiao Wang in revitalizing the State of Yue?"
Fan Li hurriedly said, "How can the people in the grass be able to bear such courtesy?"
Luo Qi said sincerely: "Mr. He has been in office for twelve years and has been loyal and outstanding in his achievements. He is a natural recipient of this. Even so, Xiao Wang still feels rude..."
Fan Li sighed: "Your Highness was used to doing things wrong back then, but I expected that he would have such a responsibility today. Since your Highness sincerely invites you, the old minister should answer your order."
Roqi stood up and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Yue Kingdom has hope!"
Fan Li remembered something and said, "I heard that Your Highness had defeated Li Xin, but I wonder who was giving advice?"
Roqi smiled and said, "It's Xiao Wang."
Fan Li was shocked and sighed: "Everyone in the world asks what a dragon is, but he doesn't know that a dragon is a dragon and enters the divine pool. Your Highness was reborn because of the destruction of the country. It is obvious that the hidden dragon was in the abyss. The old minister is so clumsy that he doesn't know your highness's talent!"
Roqi hurriedly said, "Sir, I am too proud, but Xiao Wang is ashamed of taking responsibility."
Fan Li calmed down and said, "I wonder what your highness plans for restoring the country?"
Luo Qi said lightly: "Qin is now strong and cannot compete with it for the time being. However, Qin has annexed all countries, and its foundation is still unstable. In addition, the Qin King is extremely cruel and the people are suffering. When the Qin King dies in the future, Qin will definitely be in civil turmoil. What we need to do now is to accumulate strength and take advantage of the time!"
Fan Li nodded and said, "What Your Highness said just now is exactly what the old minister thinks. If you want to build a foundation, you can start from Hebei."
Roqi said in confusion: "But I have no soldiers or food, how can I start?"
Fan Li smiled and said, "Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, has sufficient military and abundant supplies, but he is stubborn and self-righteous, has no decision-making, and does not know how to control his subordinates. He has a lot of parties and fights openly and secretly. This situation is most suitable for fishing for troubled waters. Your Highness can use him as a springboard to start."
Roche raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, do you mean..."
Fan Li said lightly: "Kill people and seize power."
Luo Qi thought for a while and shook his head, "If I want to swallow Yuan Shao, I must first get his value. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao seems to be respectful to the wise and humble, but in fact he is generous on the outside but taboo on the inside. He does things just to show his virtues and be a kind and elegant title. I don't have any reputation, so how could he take it seriously?"
Fan Li smiled and said, "When Your Highness entered the city, I thought he had seen Yuan Shao's ceremonial guard. Do you know who he was waiting for when he left the city ten miles...?"
Roche shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Fan Li said: "Two hundred years ago, Taigong Wang established the first strategist group, and then quickly evolved into several sects with different emphasis. Almost all the disciples of these sects are world-class strategists, and it can be said that they all have the ability to reverse the world. Therefore, even before they even started their troops, they were already concerned by the princes of all sides. The target of Yuan Shao's hard-working guard this time was the newly genius strategist who had recently come out of the mountain..."
Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, do you want me to follow them and try to become a member of a certain sect, and then use it as capital to win Yuan Shao's heavy use?"
Fan Li nodded and said, "When there are four major academies today, they all have some connections with these sects. If Your Highness can go to one of the institutions and achieve excellent results, it may attract the attention of these sects. As long as they can be absorbed by them after being assessed, Yuan Shao will definitely rely heavily after coming out!"
Roche mused: "What sir said seems to work."
Fan Li continued: "And there is another advantage in doing this. As the saying goes, you will get the moon first when you approach the water. As long as your highness acts cleverly, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to go to school to recruit talents. And the old minister stays in Hebei to pave the way for you..."
Luo Qi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sir, accurate calculations and far-sightedness. Could it be that you had expected that I would come in advance, so you were prepared?"
Fan Li shook his head and said, "The old minister didn't count, he just kept waiting."
Luo Qi was stunned, then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but stand up and said respectfully: "Sir Gao Yi, Xiao Wang remembers the five inner world!"
He spoke, while secretly looking forward to it.
Those powerful generals who gallop on the battlefield in history, talented military advisors who plan strategies, the only wise ministers in the world who have lived in the ages, and the rare wise kings in the world gathered here, standing on their own standpoints, and with their own ambitions and ambitions, they opened an unprecedented and magnificent era together!
