Donglai County is to the east of Yingling County, and Qi State is to the west of Yingling County.

Liu Bei took Zhou Xing and others and rode westward.

"The military advisor used to be a ranger in the past, and he often came to the North Sea, right?"

When his horse rested on the road, Liu Bei asked Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing thought for a moment and replied: "I don't think I come here often, just three times."

"Qingzhou Ranger, I wonder how many people the military advisor knows?" Liu Bei asked again.

Zhou Xing understood that Liu Bei wanted to recruit some military talents from Qingzhou through himself.

Generally, those who become rangers will have some strength. Even if they cannot become generals, they can become military commanders commanding hundreds of soldiers.

"I don't know any of the knights in Qingzhou, but I have heard of some wise and righteous people in Qingzhou."

Zhou Xing does not know the rangers in Qingzhou. In the past, "he" always walked with the rangers who taught martial arts. At that time, he was focused on practicing martial arts for revenge and did not get to know other rangers.

"Oh, tell me."

When Liu Bei said this, he looked at Sun Qian next to him.

Sun Qian is from Beihai, Qingzhou, and he should know something about the sages and righteous men in Qingzhou.

Zhou Xing also glanced at Sun Qian and said: "Needless to say, Gongyou, your respected master, Duke Zheng of Beihai, my lord already knows him. My lord also knows Taishi Ci of Donglai. I heard that when Kong Wenju was the Prime Minister of Beihai, he was surrounded by thieves. Taishi Ci went to Pingyuan to ask for help from his lord. I heard that he is now in Yangzhou. After my lord is stable in Donglai, I can go to Yangzhou to find him and see if I can recruit him back to Donglai to assist my lord."

"What a pity that Taishi Ziyi is loyal, righteous and brave!" Liu Bei sighed and said, "Wen Sheng, if you can recruit him, getting this one person will be like getting ten thousand soldiers!"

Zhou Xing is not sure that he can recruit Taishi Ci. Maybe he has surrendered to Sun Ce now. It is really difficult for him to betray Sun Ce, but if you have the chance, you can try it. After all, he is from Donglai.

At worst, we can use Cao Cao's strategy to get Xu Shu, recruit him back in the name of his mother, and then keep him in Donglai, so that he can be used by Liu Bei.

"This man is famous, and I have heard about it. I heard that he first took refuge in Liaodong and then went to Yangzhou after returning. I just don't know what his current situation is." Sun Qian continued.

"There is another person from Beihai, Qingzhou, named Wang Xiu. Have you ever heard of him, my lord?" Zhou Xing said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei thought for a moment and shook his head: "Never."

Previously, Liu Bei was the Prime Minister of Pingyuan. Although Pingyuan and Beihai both belong to Qingzhou, they are quite far apart, separated by several counties. It is normal that he has never heard of Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu's name is mainly known in Beihai County.

Sun Qian had heard about it, and said at this time: "Wang Xiu, courtesy name Shuzhi, I have heard of this man. He was once promoted by Kong Wenzhong to be filial and honest. He was loyal and brave, and was feared by the powerful in the county. ”

"Gongyou, please continue."

Zhou Xing asked Sun Qian to continue talking. Liu Bei would be more convinced if he told the story about Wang Xiu.

Sun Qian nodded and continued: "He once served as Gaomi Ling. There was a wealthy Sun family in the county. Their guests broke the law but the officials could not arrest them. After Wang Shuzhi took office, he personally led the officials and people to besiege him. The officials and people were afraid and did not dare to attack. Wang Shuzhi He said, 'Anyone who dares not to attack will be guilty of the same crime as a thief.' So the Sun family was afraid of themselves and kidnapped the guests."

"Later he was moved to the command of Jiaodong. There were many thieves in Jiaodong. Gongshalu was a powerful clan and built his own fort. He refused to be transferred. Shuzhi alone led a few cavalry into the gate and killed Gongshalu's brothers. The rest of the Gongsha family were killed. Don't dare to move. From then on, the number of bandits in Jiaodong gradually decreased, and the people began to feel at peace."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this and asked: "How powerful is this person?"

"Wang Shuzhi has no force." Sun Qian replied.

"You don't have any weapons, how dare you lead a group of horses and kill Gong Shalu and his brothers?" Liu Bei found it incredible.

In fact, even Zhou Xing, who knew history, found it incredible. This Wang Xiu was indeed very courageous and very loyal. This was exactly why he wanted to recommend Wang Xiu to Liu Bei.

"Yes, Wang Shuzhi's bravery is really amazing." Zhou Xing said, "My lord, if this person is still in Qingzhou, you can recommend him to Kong Shijun as the magistrate of Huang County, Donglai. If you get this person, my lord is in Donglai." General Lai can feel at ease a lot."

Zhou Xing has already thought that this Wang Xiu is the best candidate to deal with the wealthy family.

Donglai is adjacent to Beihai. I believe the people of Donglai have heard of his deeds. With him around, any wealthy family who dared to go against Liu Bei would ask Wang Xiu to be the magistrate of any county.

Liu Bei sighed: "As you said, I will definitely get this person! I'm afraid Kong Wenju won't."

"If he refuses, the lord should insist on asking for help from this person."

"Well, I must keep asking." Liu Bei nodded and asked Zhou Xing, "Qingzhou has many wise and righteous people, who else does the military advisor know?"

Zhou Xing looked at Sun Qian and said, "Beihai Liu Zheng, I wonder if Gongyou knows this person?"

Sun Qian tilted his head and thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I have never heard of this person."

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Xing hurriedly, expecting him to quickly tell him about this person.

"I don't know much about this person. I only know that he is quite brave and heroic. He once took refuge in Liaodong and was hated by Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong. He should have returned to Beihai now. When the Lord saw Kong Shijun, he was not prepared. If you ask him about this person, Kong Shijun will definitely know."

Zhou Xing really didn't know much about Liu Zheng. He didn't even know his nickname. He only knew that he was a talent. If he wasn't a talent, he wouldn't be feared by Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong.

"Well, who else?" Liu Bei asked eagerly.

"There are also Bing Yuan and Guan Ning. Both of them are from Beihai. It's just that they took refuge in Liaodong and are afraid they haven't returned home yet. It would be a great blessing for my lord to get help from Wang Shuzhi and Liu Zheng. Other wise and righteous people might as well wait for us. It’s never too late to ask for help after you become stable in Dongnae.”

Zhou Xing also wanted to recruit these two people for Liu Bei, but at the same time he knew that it would be difficult for Liu Bei to recruit them. There was still a possibility in Bingyuan. Guan Ning had lived in Liaodong for thirty years before returning home. It seemed that he wanted to recruit him. Impossible.

Guan Ning, whose courtesy name was You'an, was the successor of Guan Zhong, and was good friends with Bingyuan and Pingyuan Huaxin in the same county.

One time, Guan Ning and Hua Xin were hoeing the ground in the garden together and saw a piece of gold on the ground. Guan Ning turned a blind eye and was as indifferent as seeing the tiles, but Hua Xin picked it up and threw it away.

Another time, when they were studying at the same table, a nobleman passed by in a carriage. Guan Ning continued to study, but Hua Xin threw the book away and ran out to watch. Guan Ning then sat down and said, "You are not my friend." Also".

His virtues deeply impressed Zhou Xing, who loved the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Sun Qian then said: "I have heard that these two people are both men of noble moral character, but the state government has not been able to appoint them. I am afraid that they will not come to help."

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "It's because of my poor virtue that I couldn't get such a wise man!"

After a short rest, Liu Bei led everyone on the road again and continued to rush to Linyi, Qi State.
