"General Qi Wei, I really don't know, and I have never heard of this man's name."
From Huo Jun's helpless and confused eyes, Liu Zhang could clearly feel that he was not lying.
Huo Jun knew about Liu Biao's birth of a son, but he didn't know who stopped Liu Qi.
This can clearly confirm that the mysterious man is definitely not from Jingzhou.
Liu Zhang couldn't help but guess. Could it be that this person didn't know the situation in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and he made a guess based on the current overall situation in Jingzhou?
If this is the case, then this person is definitely not simple, he is even a top-notch wise man.
"Damn it, I didn't expect such a talented person to fall in love with Liu Qi!"
Even if this mysterious man followed Sun Ce or even Liu Bei, he wouldn't be so angry. I really don't understand what attracted him to Liu Qi!
It's been five years since the merit order was posted. Isn't Liu Zhang still inferior to the little Liu Qi?
"My lord once said that people have their own ambitions and cannot be forced to do so. Maybe Liu Qi was once kind to this person."
Lu Su quickly stepped forward to comfort Liu Zhang. He understood his lord's love for talents very well, and then pointed at Wei Yan and Huo Jun.
"My lord, aren't there talents from Jingzhou coming to serve now? Maybe this is a good start."
Liu Zhang adjusted very quickly, and a smile once again filled his face.
"What Zijing said is absolutely true. I'll let Wen He inquire about this person's name and find out who he is!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, Huo Jun immediately stepped forward to explain.
"General Wei, I know his name, but I have never heard of him in Jingzhou."
"what is his name?"
Liu Zhang just asked casually, but the next two words Huo Jun said immediately shocked him.
"Single blessing."
"It's him!"
Liu Zhang never expected that the person who went to help Liu Qi would be Xu Shu, who had transformed into a man of fortune!
"Haha, it's really interesting..."
Xu Shu's eyes are as high as the top, and he has always been a being who would never come out of the mountain without meeting the Ming Lord. Now, only 200 years ago, he didn't expect that he would run away to Jingnan!
"Lord, do you know this person?"
This time it was Lu Su's turn to be shocked. Liu Zhang was really elusive. He could discover himself and Liu Ye in Yizhou!
Now Huo Jun from Jingzhou casually mentioned a name, and he actually recognized it!
Is it possible that Liu Zhang really knows all the talented people in the world?
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He had no intention of revealing Xu Shu's identity.
Xu Shu was a student of Pang Degong at Lumen Academy and a close friend of Zhuge Liang, which shows that Xu Shu at least had a close relationship with the Pang and Huang families.
If you look at it this way, the matter in Jingnan may not be simply Xu Shu's impromptu decision.
Is there any instruction from Pang Degong? Or is it that the Pang family is secretly competing with the Cai family and the Kuai family?
"It seems that the situation in Jingzhou is much more complicated than we imagined!"
Liu Zhang gave Lu Su a thoughtful look, and the latter immediately understood what he meant and stopped asking any more questions.
"Um... General Wei, may I... serve the general?"
The topic has moved from Huo Jun himself to the overall situation in Jingzhou, but Huo Jun's own destination has not yet received an answer from Liu Zhang, so Huo Jun can only shamelessly ask Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang immediately wanted to agree, but Huo Jun was different from Wei Yan in that he still had a family and even a huge industry in Jingzhou.
Especially since Liu Zhang knew that Huo Du was about to die soon, could Huo Jun be willing to give up his huge family fortune in Jingzhou?
If he surrendered today and left tomorrow, Liu Zhang might as well reject Huo Jun directly.
"I do admire you very much, and I hope you can serve under me. But I value loyalty more than ability."
"Huo Jun, you are different from Wei Yan. He is a loner, but you are a famous family in Jingzhou. I believe that the Huo family in Jingzhou is by no means comparable to ordinary families in terms of status and strength."
"What if one day Huo Jun needs you to return to take over, or if we become enemies with Liu Biao, or if you and your eldest brother Huo Du have a duel in front of the battle, how should you act?"
Huo Jun did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
These things cannot be solved by avoiding them. Sooner or later, they will be brought to the forefront, and this day will not be too far away.
Liu Zhang knew the complexity of people's hearts, and he would rather Huo Jun did not join him at this time, so that he would have the opportunity to recruit him in the future.
If Huo Jun surrenders to Liu Zhang now, but turns his back on the Huo family in the future, there will be no possibility of recruiting him in the future.
Moreover, Huo Jun not only represents an individual, but his son Huo Ge is also a top general who can withstand Lu Kang. Liu Zhang's failure to handle this matter is tantamount to losing two generals at once!
Seeing that Huo Jun was still deep in thought, Liu Zhang continued to add soup and ingredients.
"Huo Jun, as far as I know, your eldest brother Huo Du is not in good health. To put it bluntly, there is a possibility of accidents at any time. Once Huo Du is really ill, can you really give up such a huge family business of the Huo family?
"
Huo Jun lowered his head slightly. At this moment, Liu Zhang also knew that Huo Jun was reluctant to part with him.
Maybe he was reluctant to let go of the family business, maybe he was reluctant to let go of his family, maybe he was reluctant to let go of his eldest brother Huo Du who died with his eyes closed.
"General Wei, I'm sorry..."
Liu Zhang was inevitably a little disappointed, but he still smiled and patted Huo Jun's shoulder gently.
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to apologize to me! On the contrary, the fact that you can come to Yizhou shows that I still have merit! Hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was so easy-going. Not only did he not blame himself, he even made jokes, which made Huo Jun even more reluctant.
"General Wei is wise and powerful, and he is definitely the Ming Dynasty! After Huo Jun handles everything in Jingzhou in the future, he will definitely come to Yizhou again! I hope that General Wei can leave a place for Huo Jun in the tent!"
Perhaps Huo Jun understands the ways of the world and deliberately told Liu Zhang to make him happy.
However, looking at Huo Jun's unusually firm eyes, Liu Zhang still chose to believe what he said.
"Okay! The door to General Wei's Mansion is open to you at any time!"
Wei Yan's anxious heart was finally relieved, and now he had repaid Huo Jun for his kindness in surviving.
Although Huo Jun did not join Liu Zhang's army in the end, he was recognized by Liu Zhang, and the two of them had a lot of sympathy for each other.
Overall, everyone is definitely happy.
And in Wei Yan's opinion, Huo Jun is more sincere in this way. If he agrees hastily, it will be equivalent to forcing himself to a dead end.
It is better to choose Huo Jun to leave temporarily, which also leaves room for both parties.
"Brother Zhongmiao, I'll be waiting for you in Yizhou!"
Huo Jun nodded heavily, he was really touched by Wei Yan's loyalty.
"Chang Wen, you have to work hard under General Wei. Don't wait until I come and you have nothing to show for it!"
"Hahaha! Then you have to hurry up! If it's too late, I will be the general!"
When Liu Zhang looked at Wei Yan and Huo Jun who were so close to each other, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Unexpectedly, two people who had not had much friendship in history would actually become close friends in this life because of his arrival!
But such a warm scene was completely broken with the appearance of one sentence.
"Huo Zhongmiao, you still claim to be a talented person in Jingzhou, but you are so hesitant in doing things! By the time you finish handling the affairs in Jingzhou, the day lily will be cold!"
