Chapter 667 Yingchuan celebrities

In fact, Xu Shu's martial arts are pretty good, barely reaching the level of a third-rate general. If he gets guidance from a famous teacher and practices hard, he might be able to become a second-rate general.

But compared to the opponent's intellectual talent, this talent for martial arts seems insufficient.

Letting the guards attack Xu Shu is also to see if this kid can wake up in advance and give up martial arts and focus on literature.

After Lu Cheng and his group left, Xu Shu and the others were still stunned: "That person just said that he was Lu Cheng, the governor of Liaodong? Is he the Lu Cheng who swept across Liaodong and dominated the northern frontier? It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command."

"I never expected that we would be even worse than someone else's guard."

"I really want to go to Liaodong to seek refuge with Governor Lu."

On the other side, Li Dian asked curiously, "My Lord, is there anything special about Xu Shu? Why do you think so highly of him?"

"He is very smart and talented, but he just didn't choose the right path. It's not too late to start learning from now on. Mancheng, you take the guards to wait here, Dianwei and I will go out for a walk."

"Yes, my lord."

"Dian Wei, put down your pair of iron halberds and just wear your sword."

Dian Wei's face already looked a bit ferocious, and with a pair of large iron halberds, he looked even more ferocious and no one could get close to him.

A moment later, the two men, dressed in casual clothes, with long swords on their waists, rode their horses freely and arrived near a pavilion in a bamboo forest outside the city.

As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I heard a burst of talking and laughing coming from the front.

Lu Cheng and Dian Wei dismounted and came to the outside of the pavilion. They spoke loudly, "We passed by here and heard that there was a debate among the great scholars. We came here for a while. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

Hearing this, several people in the pavilion turned their heads and looked at Lu Cheng. Then one of them said, "Sir, you have outstanding appearance and extraordinary bearing. I think you must be an ordinary person. Since you are lucky enough to be here, why don't you come and sit down?"

"In that case, I will not be polite. I have long heard that Yingchuan has many talented people. Just now, I heard you discuss the situation and evaluate the heroes with unique insights. I know that the rumors are true. I am also quite interested in the current situation and would like to hear your opinions."

"It's not a brilliant opinion, it's just a statement of opinion. Judging from your conversation, you must be a person with extensive knowledge. I think you must have a brilliant opinion. Why don't you discuss it first?"

Lu Cheng chuckled, "In that case, I won't be polite. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has been in decline and fatigue has become apparent. Now that the governors have been changed to governors, allowing the local governments to control military and political power, it is inevitable that the princes will rise up and fight endlessly.

If the Han Dynasty cannot turn the tide, it will lose its prestige. After that, the princes will annex each other and fight each other. After that, perhaps one of the princes will welcome the emperor to take charge of justice and use the emperor to control the princes..."

Lu Cheng spoke eloquently, and what he said immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All those present were famous scholars from Yingchuan. They naturally had a general grasp of the current situation and had made similar deductions. They were not surprised by what Lu Cheng said at the beginning.

But as Lu Cheng spoke more and more in detail, the way people looked at him became a little different. It was obvious that they already regarded Lu Cheng as a wise man like them.

"Sir, you are indeed a man of great talent. My name is Xun You, and my courtesy name is Gongda."

"Guo Jia, courtesy name Fengxiao..."

"Chen Qun of the Chen family, courtesy name Changwen..."

"Xi Zhicai, nice to meet you, sir. May I ask your name?"

It was only at this point that everyone introduced themselves to each other.

Lu Cheng also bowed and said, "Lu Cheng, courtesy name Shouxin."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "Could it be the governor of Liaodong?"

"Exactly."

"So it's Governor Lu. I'm so sorry for the disrespect."

Although several people said they were disrespectful, their expressions were different.

After Chen Qun of the Chen family learned of Lu Cheng's identity, a hint of subtle contempt flashed in his eyes, but it did not escape Lu Cheng's eyes.

Xun You was also stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.

Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Cheng again, with more curiosity in his eyes.

As for Guo Jia, he also seemed very interested in Lu Cheng.

"I have long heard of the deeds of Lu Taishou sweeping across Liaodong. Jia has longed for it, but never thought that I would be able to meet him here today. I wonder if I could ask you why the Taishou is here?"

"It is to seek out talented people and put an end to the war."

Xi Zhicai said, "I have heard for a long time that Governor Lu has worked hard to govern Liaodong, ensuring that the people have enough food and clothing, and has opened many schools to popularize education. Is this true?"

"Of course, Mr. Bo Ji is in Liaodong right now, presiding over education for me. As for the common people, I'm sure you have heard of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which are all high-yield crops in Liaodong."

"I am more interested in how the governor conquered the Xianbei, Fuyu and other countries. I wonder if the governor can answer my questions?"

"That's fine..."

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia asked and answered questions to Lu Cheng, Xun You also occasionally interjected a few words, and Chen Qun basically just watched.

"Grandmaster Lu, the Yellow Turbans are rising again in Qingzhou, and the counties are already in ruins. Qingzhou and Liaodong are across the sea. If the Grandmaster occupies Qingzhou, how can he quickly put down the war and make the people live and work in peace?"

"The chaos in Qingzhou is because the people are poorly clothed and hungry. But..."

Lu Cheng briefly talked about some ideas, mainly focusing on "work-for-relief", using limited money, grain and materials to stabilize the situation, revitalize the economy and restore the market.

In fact, Xi Zhicai asked this question mainly to see how Lu Cheng governs and treats the people. When a counselor chooses a master, he will choose one with the same personality as himself, so that the ruler and the minister can get along well.

However, few people did not expect that Lu Cheng not only expressed his ambitions, but also had a complete set of ideas for recovering Qingzhou. It was obvious that he had already had plans for Qingzhou.

Of course, this set of ideas is only suitable for Liaodong. If other princes use it, they will most likely be dragged to death.

Although Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others were all knowledgeable and wise men, they grew up in this era after all, and their thoughts were more or less restricted by this era.

However, Lu Cheng has thousands of years of rich experience and has mastered a lot of knowledge and insights from the next two thousand years. Just by throwing out some novel viewpoints and ideas, several people were refreshed and couldn't help but look at Lu Cheng with admiration again.

Even Chen Qun, who initially looked down on Lu Cheng because of his background, couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.

More than an hour passed in this chat, and before we knew it, it was getting dark.

Seeing that everyone was still not satisfied, Lu Cheng stopped them in time: "Everyone, it's getting late today, so it's inconvenient to chat for too long. How about we get together another day?"

Xun You bowed and said, "Listening to your words today is better than reading ten years of books by sages. Thank you for your teachings, Governor."

"Gongda is too polite. I am just expressing my humble opinion."

Afterwards, Chen Qun also bowed and said goodbye and left in a hurry.

When only Lu Cheng, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were left in the pavilion, Xi Zhicai invited them, "You have come from afar. If you have nowhere to stay, my humble abode does have a few empty rooms."

Guo Jia also spoke up: "If the governor wants to go to Zhicai's house, I will have to bother him. I haven't finished what I just said. I wonder if I can have a night talk with the governor?"

"It is my great honor to be able to discuss the past and present with two wise men."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng waved to Dian Wei who was standing outside and said, "Dian Wei, go ask Man Cheng to prepare a generous gift."

"Yes, my lord."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai glanced at Dian Wei standing outside the pavilion, and both could not help but feel a little surprised: "This is a tiger and wolf general. The governor really has capable people under his command."

"I've heard for a long time that the governor has many brave generals under his command, such as Zhao Zilong of Changshan, Taishi Ci of Donglai, etc. I wonder if this one is one of them?"
