Chapter 126: A man should live like a Marquis of Shen!
Chapter 126 A real man should be born like a Marquis Shen!
"Excessive!"
"Too much!"
Liu Ye held the stacks of lists in his hands, his hands trembling.
"You think I, Liu Ziyang, have the talent to serve the world, but you actually asked me to help you choose your retainers?"
"Okay, okay! Who gave you good taste!"
"Ha! Xun Lingjun has good taste, why don't you go find him?"
"If I really invite Xun Lingjun to do this, Sikong will definitely kill me!"
"..."
He Yan comforted him and said, "Please do me this favor. Then I'll go to Sikong Na to talk to him. Maybe I can persuade him to send troops to Lujiang!"
After hearing what He Yan said, Liu Ye's excitement became calmer.
"real?"
"Go out and ask around! Can what I, Marquis Shen, say be true?"
"..."
Liu Ye struggled for a while and finally agreed to the job.
"By the way, you can teach them the addition and subtraction of numbers."
"I quit!"
"Please go to Nulu! The most expensive one!"
"..."
Seeing that Liu Ye was still hesitating, He Yan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Go twice!"
"make a deal!"

————————
Under Liu Ye's wise eyes, seventy-two people were finally selected from hundreds of people.
Among these seventy-two people, He Kui and Yin Min were both prominently listed, and they had obviously passed Liu Ye's official certification.
Although the "admission rate" of nearly ten to one is a bit cruel, if you consider that these people have passed Liu Ye's test, this ratio is not low.
It can be seen that the Nanyang He family and the Yin family are not trying to fool He Yan with some crooked melons and cracked dates, but are really planning to start a new business with He Yan.
"After that, you will be my retainers."
He Yan took all seventy-two people under his command: "But before I say anything ugly, if any of you do some dirty deeds, I won't be polite."
He Kui and Yin Min immediately led 70 other people to worship together: "We swear to be loyal to the master of the family to the death!"
…
Compared with the success of He Kui and Yin Min, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, who came to Xuchang together, were rejected.
They indeed came to the Xun family with invitations to pay their respects. The Xun family was also very aristocratic and prepared a place for the two of them to stay temporarily and provide them with food every day.
But that's all.
Xun Yu was the minister, and Xun You was the mastermind of Cao Cao. Both of them were masters of everything. If Sima Hui came in person, they might come to meet him because of Sima Hui's reputation, but if it were their disciples...then
That's another matter.
After arriving in Xuchang for a few days, the two of them saw only one clan member from a branch of the Xun clan, but they had not seen anyone who could take charge of the Xun clan. This made the arrogant Pang Tong angry -
"Why does Mr. Xun despise us so much?"
Xu Shu, who was accustomed to the behavior of wealthy families, took it for granted: "Shi Yuan, Mr. Xun doesn't look down on us, otherwise he wouldn't serve us meals every day."
"Oh!"
Instead of extinguishing his anger, Pang Tong became more and more angry: "Am I here just to get some of Xun's dishes?"
"What do you want Shiyuan?"
Xu Shu's patience with Pang Tong was gradually polished: "Nowadays, there are only three new scholars: Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Yang Biao."
"Yang Biao is one of the three great men of the world, Chen Qun is a famous scholar in Yingchuan, and Hua Xin is a great Confucian scholar. How can we meet these three people just by asking?"
Xu Shu has long been smoothed out over the years and has seen through many things in the world.
He and Pang Tong have no fame at all, how can they attract the attention of those big shots?
Although Pang Tong was known as "Feng Chu", not even a few scholars in Jingzhou recognized this thing, let alone the emperor who was crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
All the two of them can do is wait slowly and impress the big shots with patience. Only in this way can Sima Hui's favor be truly used.
Pang Tong was smart and naturally understood this truth.
But he still refused to accept it!
As a young leader from Jingzhou, Pang Tong considers himself no worse than anyone else! Why should he wait here like others?
A little anger in a young man's chest is worth ten thousand taels of gold in the world.
Xu Shu's youthful spirit died with Xu Fu's name long ago, but Pang Tong's youthful spirit is still contained in his name of "Feng Chu"!
He will eventually become as famous as the Phoenix!
"Yuan Zhi! Do you remember He Kui and Yin Min who came with us?"
"Of course I remember."
"They once said they were looking for Marquis Shen. Why don't we go find them and ask them to connect you and me with Marquis Shen?"
Xu Shu was obviously not very supportive of Pang Tong's proposal: "It's hard to exchange this favor! Besides, we only have casual acquaintances with them, so how can we have the nerve to let them introduce Marquis Shen?"
How could it be that such a big shot as Marquis Shen just met him on sight?
He Kui and Yin Min were blood relatives to He Yan, but I was not related to He Yan. How could I visit them rashly?
Pang Tong didn't care: "What else? We are not familiar with the place in Xuchang City. Who else can we go to besides him?"
"Besides..."
Pang Tong's ugly face raised a wicked smile: "You really don't want to meet that Marquis Shen?"
"While talking and laughing at the traces of the enemy's attack on the camp, the situation between the enemy and us is different."
"There are not many people like this in history books. Don't you really want to meet such a strange person, Yuan Zhi?"
Xu Shu obviously hesitated: "This..."
Of course I want to see you!
Even though Xu Shu no longer had the competitive spirit of a young man, he still couldn't help but feel a little lost when he heard He Yan's deeds.
What kind of person with unparalleled magnificence could accomplish such a huge undertaking at such an age?
Living in the same era as such a person, it would be a pity if we could not meet each other.
Seeing Xu Shu's move, Pang Tong quickly stepped up his strategy, and Xu Shu finally relaxed.
The two of them were in Xuchang City to inquire about He Yan's whereabouts. When they learned that He Yan was not in Xuchang City, but had built a fortress nearby, they were stunned.
"Building a fort near the capital...isn't this somewhat unethical?"
Who was the last person to build a fort near the capital of Han Dynasty?
Oh~~
It’s Grand Master Dong Zhuo!
At present, the distance between Hewu and Xuchang is much closer than the distance between Xiwu and Chang'an. Is there no official impeachment?
What the two of them didn't know was that someone originally planned to impeach him.
But once He Yan made great achievements in the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao returned to Xuchang with the power of defeating Yuan Shao, these officials became weaklings.
Secondly, strictly speaking, this Wubao was actually built by Chen Qun.
Chen Qun is currently in the limelight because of his new studies, and no one wants to offend him at this time.
He Yan, Cao Cao, Chen Qun...
It is somewhat unnecessary for a Wubao to offend these three people.
Xu Shu and Pang Tong saw the grandeur of Hewu and had a deeper understanding of Shenhou's power.
Even Pang Tong realized that Marquis Shen was no longer on the same level as the poor scholars like them, and the original flame in his heart was also weakening.
"A true man should be born like a Marquis of Shen!"
But after the decline, Pang Tong was really like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, burning even more vigorously.
"A true young hero should be like Marquis Shen!"
Xu Shu looked at his teammate who was suffering from the secondary disease, and at the increasingly weird looks from the people around him on the street. He quickly covered Pang Tong's mouth and dragged him to the side of the road while laughing.
The two searched in Hewu and finally found He Kui and Yin Min. They were amazed when they learned that they had become He Yan's retainers.
"I didn't expect that the two of them actually came to find Marquis Shen with such a purpose. No wonder."
Large families usually do not do this kind of self-dividing thing. Unless there is a war or there is an irresistible temptation, a large family that values bloodline inheritance can choose to separate some members of the clan.
The He family of Nanyang and the Yin family of Nanyang undoubtedly regarded He Yan as the hope for the family's rebirth, so they took the initiative to send He Kui and Yin Min.
"You two are disciples of Mr. Shui Jing and Mr. Pang De. Marquis Shen will definitely meet you."
He Kui and Yin Min had actually communicated with Xu Shu and Pang Tong along the way, and they knew that they were not idiots and indeed had real talents and learning. If such people were introduced to He Yan, He Yan would not refuse them.
Besides, as a retainer, it is also your duty to recommend talents for your lord.
But what He Kui and Yin Min didn't expect was that when they presented the invitations from Xu Shu and Pang Tong to He Yan, He Yan was shocked!
"Why did these two people come to Xuchang?"
Xu Shu is talented, but not that talented.
Pang Tong was talented, but no one knew how much talent he had.
The strength of the two of them is of a very fascinating kind...
Seeing He Yan's troubled expression, He Kui and Yin Min thought He Yan didn't want to see them, so they asked carefully: "If the head of the family doesn't want to see them, then I will send them away right now."
"See you! Of course I want to see you!"
The strength of the two is fascinating, but they are definitely not mediocre.
Xu Shu stayed with Liu Bei for seven years. Although he did not rescue Liu Bei from the dragon lock in Xinye, he definitely introduced Liu Bei to many famous people in Jingzhou and even contacted many aristocratic families in Jingzhou. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not be here.
After Liu Biao's death, he quickly won the hearts of many Jingzhou aristocratic families.
Even when he arrived at Cao Cao's side, he finally achieved the position of Right Middle Lang General and Yu Shi Zhongcheng, which is enough to be regarded as a outstanding person of his generation.
Pang Tong...
Being able to be entrusted with important tasks by Zhou Yu and Liu Bei at the same time is enough to show how extraordinary he is.
It's just that the death of Luocheng in the battle made it difficult for future generations to see the upper limit of this "Feng Chu".
But no matter what, since these two people came here on their own initiative, there is no reason to give up casually.
Seeing that He Yan was willing to meet Xu Shu and Pang Tong, He Kui and Yin Min immediately ran out to welcome them in.
"Wait a minute!"
He Yan was seen patting his face hard, trying to relax his facial muscles, and then asked He Kuiyinmin to bring the two of them in.
"I heard that Pang Tong looks very ugly..."
"What happened to Zhang Song in this novel cannot happen in advance between me and Pang Tong."
Yes! My little Yang people here are because my eldest brother called six women from the provincial capital to discuss knowledge. As a result, these women and the eldest brother were all Yang...
