065, ready to be talented, just like the emperor met Chen Ping
Xi Zhicai couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so familiar with such despicable things?"
After Liu Bei heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, do you think Bei Ying doesn't know this?"
Xi Zhicai nodded.
In Xi Zhicai's view, Liu Bei could be the governor of a state, and his surname was Liu, so he must be a member of the royal family and his status was extremely noble. He should be extremely unfamiliar with humble things like Mudun.
Liu Bei shook his head: "Sir, you are wrong. Bei's family was poor since he was a child. Later, he made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. Let alone wooden piers, he lost earth balls and stones. Bei often used them as seats. He is really familiar with them.
Already."
At this time, Liu Bei became a shepherd in Jingzhou, and he no longer kept secret about his past of weaving mats and selling shoes. This was an improvement in his character.
Xi Zhicai did not expect that Liu Bei was once so poor, but now he has become a shepherd in Jingzhou. He couldn't help but admire him: "It makes you poor and strong, and you do not fall into the clouds. You are a true hero."
When Liu Bei was praised by Xi Zhicai, he just smiled lightly.
This ability to show off is already somewhat like that of Chen Yuan.
Liu Bei was busy showing off, but Chen Yuan didn't forget about business.
Moreover, this kind of solicitation must be done by Chen Yuan, because there will be a buffer.
If Liu Bei said it and Xi Zhicai didn't agree, then there would be no room for buffering.
Chen Yuan is different. After all, he is not Liu Bei. If he fails, Liu Bei can come again.
Chen Yuan raised his hand to Xi Zhicai and said: "Brother Zhicai, when I was traveling, I once came to Yingchuan. I have always heard of the reputation of brother Zhicai. He is as wise as the sea and as talented as the mountains. Now that my lord has been appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou, he is in urgent need of it."
With the help of wise men, I would like to ask Brother Zhicai to help me. I wonder what Brother Zhicai wants?"
Xi Zhicai didn't expect that Liu Bei actually came to conquer him.
Now Liu Bei leads Jingzhou as a herdsman and Zhennan general. He can build his own government and recruit talents for his own use.
Although Xi Zhicai was poor, he had his own way of choosing a master.
It doesn't mean that it will be effective just by giving some benefits to anyone.
He is full of talents and naturally needs to find a good master to show his talents.
Of course, Liu Bei's previous actions had already made Xi Zhicai feel good about him, which proved that Liu Bei was not a master who didn't know the sufferings of the people.
However, this alone is not enough.
Although Xi Zhicai lives in Yingchuan, he is certainly not ignorant of the major events in the world.
This was due to his friend, Xun Yu.
I have to say here that there are many extraordinary people in Yingchuan, led by Xun Yu.
Most of the Yingchuan talents on Cao Cao's side were recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu, and among them was Xi Zhicai.
It can be seen that Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai must have a good relationship, or at least they are familiar with each other.
The Xun clan of Yingchuan was also a famous family, so they were naturally familiar with the world's affairs, which gave Xi Zhicai a full understanding of the world's affairs.
Naturally, Xi Zhicai is no stranger to Jingzhou.
Jingzhou animal husbandry is not easy to do.
There are many problems in Jingzhou. There are powerful commanders running rampant, powerful families everywhere, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are also barbarian raids.
But the most pressing issue at present is the issue of heroes and commanders, which has seriously affected the stability of Jingzhou.
The so-called handsome men are clan thieves.
Zong thief Zong thief is a group of thieves who mainly belong to the same clan.
Such thieves have strong cohesion and good fighting ability. The local government basically has nothing to do with them, so they have become a cancer in Jingzhou.
Moreover, these clan thieves grew stronger and stronger, and later they dared to rebel.
Xi Zhicai asked: "May I ask the envoy how you want to deal with the Jingzhou clan traitors?"
In Xi Zhicai's view, the problem of clan thieves is not just a clan traitor problem. The reason why the clan thieves problem has been difficult to solve for a long time is naturally related to the wealthy families in Jingzhou.
Most of the clan thieves are related to the wealthy families in the county. This is the fundamental reason why the clan thieves problem is difficult to solve.
Therefore, if you want to deal with the clan thieves, you cannot be afraid of the powerful people in the county. Otherwise, you will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Xi Zhicai used this to test Liu Bei's school, just to see Liu Bei's attitude towards the powerful and whether he had the courage to attack the powerful.
Historically, Liu Biao's solution was to rely on the Jingzhou clan to put down the clan traitors.
In fact, this is a compromise method, but the fundamental problem is not solved.
Chen Yuan has already discussed this issue with Liu Bei.
For clan thieves, it's just one word to kill.
Because these people have committed numerous evil deeds long ago, not killing them is not enough to make the people angry.
Liu Bei looked solemn: "The clan thieves are a great harm to the state and are evil to the people. Only by killing them to death and frightening the young people can we restore peace to Jingzhou."
"How to kill it? Where can I rely on it?"
"I have three thousand Polu troops, all of whom are elite soldiers who have fought with the Yellow Turbans for the rest of their lives. Using them as bones, we can gain an army of more than ten thousand. With them, we can suppress the clan's thieves and backhand them."
Xi Zhi was satisfied.
Liu Bei is not preparing the Jingzhou wealthy family to deal with the clan thieves. It seems that this Jingzhou herdsman has a very clear understanding.
That being the case, why not throw it in?
So Xi Zhicai stood up and bowed and said: "Xi Zhicai pays homage to the lord, and is willing to do the work of dogs and horses for him."
Liu Bei was overjoyed. He stood up and supported Xi Zhicai: "Now that I have Zhicai, Bei is the same as the great ancestor who has been able to present himself as a marquis."
Xianhou is Chen Ping, and Xianhou is his posthumous title.
Chen Yuan was also happy to be there, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Every time Liu Bei got a talent, he would always sigh, "What a blessing in three lives, just like Gaozu's Xiao He, getting Chen Ping or something like that."
There will definitely be many talents in the future. Chen Yuan will wait and see when Liu Bei will run out of words.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, so Xi Zhicai immediately packed up his things and went straight to Jingzhou with himself and others.
Xi Zhicai said: "I have a good friend in Yingchuan named Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo. I am going to Jingzhou and I need to come and tell him. Otherwise, I will lose the friendship of my friend."
Good guy, this is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo.
Of course Chen Yuan was very interested, and immediately expressed that he would go with Xi Zhicai to meet Liuxiang Xunling.
According to historical records, Xun Yu was a tall, beautiful and well-groomed man. He liked to incense, and over time, his body became fragrant, so he got the reputation of Xun Ling with a lingering fragrance.
Liu Bei wanted to go, but Chen Yuan stopped him.
Because Chen Yuan knew that Xun Yu would definitely not follow Liu Bei now.
Xun Yu was a staunchly loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He was loyal to the emperor. As for Liu Bei, a member of the Han Dynasty clan, he could not get Xun Yu to join him.
With Liu Bei's character, if he met Xun Yu and had a brief conversation, he would definitely be very interested in Xun Yu.
Most likely it will be like Cao Cao's love for Guan Yu in history.
But no matter how much you like it, they won't follow you.
This may damage Liu Bei's confidence.
Therefore, Chen Yuan found an excuse and did not let Liu Bei follow him.
However, Chen Yuan brought Zhao Yun with him.
The reason is simple, he is afraid of death.
This world is still very dangerous. He doesn't think that with his small arms and legs, he can beat anyone. He only feels safe when Zhao Yun is by his side.
