Chen Yuan took Liu Bei and walked away gracefully, making the remaining people present very angry.
What do you mean by this? Are we all people from the mountains?
Is spending time with us a waste of time?
Anyway, except for a few people present, everyone else's expressions were not good-looking.
I have to say that Chen Yuan’s last sentence fired a good map shot.
Chen Yuan no longer cares about what he thinks.
Because he was already preparing to take Liu Bei and go straight to Jingzhou.
The reason why they are still in Luoyang now is to wait for Liu Bei's name to be written on the royal family's genealogy.
Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and his name is written on their family tree, that is, Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Unless he has meritorious service, it will not be written on the family tree of the royal family.
But now, Liu Bei has been restored to the position of Marquis and has also taken charge of Jingzhou as a herdsman, so it will naturally be recorded.
This is not only for the convenience of management, but also a recognition of Liu Bei's identity.
Liu Bei's name was entered into the royal family tree. Liu Bei's people had basically achieved their goals in Luoyang, and there was nothing left to do.
So, after Liu Bei returned, he took Chen Yuan and others and went straight to Jingzhou.
Cai Yong and Cai Wenji will wait until Liu Bei and the others are settled in Jingzhou before going there. This is also Chen Yuan's suggestion.
Because there is no peace in Jingzhou now, with powerful commanders running rampant and tyrants everywhere.
At this time, there was no state pastor in Jingzhou, but the governor of Jingzhou.
Originally, according to history, Wang Rui would move to Jingzhou to be the governor this year due to official duties.
But now that Liu Bei has taken charge of Jingzhou Mu, Wang Rui will naturally not be able to become the governor.
Therefore, Jingzhou now has neither a governor nor a state pastor.
Wang Rui was still very capable, but he was later forced to kill by Sun Jian.
Originally, Chen Yuan wanted to see if he could recruit Wang Rui, but unfortunately Wang Rui was not in Luoyang now, so Chen Yuan had no choice but to give up.
From Luoyang to Jiangling, the seat of Jingzhou, you usually leave Hulao Pass, pass through Xuchang, Xinye, cross the Han River, pass through Xiangyang, and then arrive at Jiangling.
Another way is to take Nanyang, pass through Xinye, cross the Han River, and pass through Xiangyang to Jiangling.
Of course, you can also skip Xiangyang and take a boat directly south from Xinye, taking the Han River or the Yangtze River.
However, Chen Yuan chose the road out of Hulao Pass because he wanted to survey the terrain and recruit a few talents.
Liu Bei and others traveled quickly and soon left Hulao Pass. Outside Hulao Pass was Yingchuan County in Yuzhou.
Of course Chen Yuan coveted the talents of Yingchuan County, but Chen Yuan also knew that with the current world situation and Liu Bei's own situation, there was little hope of recruiting those high-ranking disciples.
However, there should still be great hope for some down-and-out children from poor families.
For example, Guo Jia, such as Xi Zhicai.
But Guo Jia is only fourteen years old now. He is half a young man and cannot be used.
We have to wait a few more years.
Therefore, the only people who can be recruited are drama talents.
Xi Zhicai is similar to Guo Jia. He is a military strategist with unparalleled intelligence and decision making.
Moreover, Xi Zhicai's family was not well off and he was very poor, which is why he died early.
Because of his poor family background and poor diet, his body was weak and he died very early.
On the way, Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "The brave men under my command today are all the heroes of that time, but there are very few people who praise painting and planning. I know someone whose talent is ten times better than mine. I hope you can recruit him."
Liu Bei became interested. Of course, he automatically ignored what Chen Yuan said about what it would take to beat him ten times.
He had discovered a long time ago that his fourth brother had a bad habit of measuring talents by his own standards. He would always be ten times or a hundred times better than him.
Liu Bei no longer took this sentence seriously.
Just kidding, Chen Yuan is already so powerful, if he really beats him ten times, would he still be a human?
However, usually when Chen Yuan says this, he is definitely a great talent.
"Who is the fourth brother talking about and where is he?"
"This person's name is Xi Zhicai, and he is from Yingchuan."
"In that case, be ready to go and see him."
At that moment, the group headed straight for Yingchuan County.
When they came to Yingchuan County, three thousand soldiers and horses were naturally not allowed to enter the city.
Good guy, what do you want to do with three thousand troops entering the city?
Attack Yingchuan?
This is obviously impossible.
Liu Bei asked Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici to stay and set up camp outside the city, while he led Chen Yuan, Gu Yong and Zhao Yun into the city to look for Xi Zhicai.
Xu Shixi Zhicai still had some reputation, so the group quickly found Xi Zhicai's home.
To everyone's surprise, Xi Zhicai did not live in the city, but settled in a cottage outside the city.
Everyone turned back to the outside of the city and found Xi Zhicai on a hillside three miles outside the city.
The house is built in the human environment, and the mind is far away and is biased.
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain.
The nature described in Tao Yuanming's poem is very leisurely, because Tao Yuanming was a mulberry picker of the Tao family, and his ancestor was Tao Kan, the founder of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, he naturally had no worries about food and clothing.
However, the reason why Xi Zhicai lives in a cottage is simply because he is poor and his family has no money left, so he can only live in a thatched house in the mountains.
Therefore, when Liu Bei and others arrived in front of the thatched house, Xi Zhicai was returning from the river carrying a bucket of water.
There is no other way. If you are poor, you have to fetch water by yourself.
Seeing Xi Zhicai's thin body struggling to carry a bucket of water, Liu Bei naturally would not just sit back and ignore him, so he stepped forward to lift the bucket.
It's just that someone is faster.
A white figure walked over in two and three steps, and lifted the bucket from Xi Zhicai's hand in one fell swoop. He held it in his hand as easily as if it was nothing. In a few moments, he helped Xi Zhicai pour the water into it.
In the water tank.
Only then did Xi Zhi discover Liu Bei and his group.
Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Liu Bei and saluted: "Thank you all, I wonder who you are?"
Chen Yuan replied: "I am Chen Yuan of Zhuo County. This is my lord, Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Bei Liu Xuande. This is my senior brother Gu Yong of Wu County and Gu Yuantan. The person who is helping you carry water is Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong."
.”
Xi Zhicai was stunned again, it was really because Liu Bei's status was too high.
One state is a state pastor.
Xi Zhicai was a little puzzled: "Yingchuan Xi Zhicai has met the envoy. I wonder what the envoy is here for?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Mr. Xi, won't you invite me to sit in the room?"
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai immediately smiled bitterly: "Please forgive me, my humble house is so simple that I really can't entertain you, so I can only invite you to sit on the ground in the open air."
After saying that, Xi Zhicai took some wooden stakes and handed them to Liu Bei and others: "Zhicai has no money now, so I can only be rude and aggrieved by asking you to sit on this wooden stake."
In Xi Zhicai's view, a noble person like Liu Bei would naturally not do something as despicable as Mu Dun.
But what surprised Xi Zhicai was that Liu Bei was not used to it at all. As a result, the wooden pillar was lowered under his hips and he sat firmly on the wooden pillar. From that look, he seemed to be very skilled.
Liu Bei's behavior made Xi Zhicai a little confused again.
