It's snowing and the weather is so cold. My knuckles hurt when I touch the keyboard for a long time. It's really painful.
************************************
Lin Feng, who was galloping on horseback, still had ups and downs in his heart. The name of the person recommended by Yu Se was so great that it was beyond his expectation.
The scene at that time reappeared in Lin Feng's mind.
Yu Se reluctantly told Lin Feng a small incident that happened in Nai Huang three months ago.
At that time, the Changshe War had not yet occurred, and it was the heyday of the Yellow Turbans' chaos in Yingchuan. The entire Yingchuan was in chaos. The Yellow Turbans went around burning, killing and looting. They killed officials when they saw them and chopped down the scholars when they met. As a result, no one knew
Many students from Yingchuan fled one after another.
A Yingchuan student fled to Neihuang County with his old mother and weak wife. For some reason, he had a conflict with the local gangsters and was about to be humiliated on the spot. Fortunately, Yu Se was passing by at the time and stopped the gangsters with words and saved the life of the gangster.
Yingchuan student.
This student's surname was Kuang. After being rescued by Yu Se, he had a very happy conversation with Yu Se.
It was at this time that Yu Se realized that this man had a strategic mind and was not an ordinary person.
Xi Kuang once predicted to Yu Se that Huangfu Song would definitely defeat Bo Cai, and also suggested that Yu Se recruit county soldiers and go to Yingchuan to help in the battle. By then, he would be able to obtain the help without any effort.
Unfortunately, Yu Se was too timid and too content with the status quo, and did not listen to Xi Kuang's advice. Xi Kuang saw that Yu Se was not a person to help, so he began to alienate Yu Se slowly. But Yu Se remembered it firmly.
The name "Xi Kuang" came from it.
Now that Yu Se was kidnapped by Lin Feng, he had no choice but to recommend the drama to Lin Feng.
Drama?
Another name I have never heard of. Lin Feng has no interest in this person. Although he heard from Yu Se that he had foreseen Huangfu Song's victory over Bo Cai a few months ago, he still didn't take it to heart. He is an eloquent person.
There were so many people there, maybe he was just bragging in the right place, Lin Feng didn't believe that Xiang Xiang, who had never shown his face in the novel, was a real talent.
Seeing Lin Feng's disapproval, Yu Se suddenly became anxious and said with a pale face: "Colonel Lin must not take it lightly. Zhicai does have a beautiful heart, which is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
I really didn’t lie to you, I sincerely recommended you to an expert.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Sir, you are tired. Please go down and rest first. I will take this drama... drama to heart and will definitely pay you a visit when I have the opportunity."
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng felt something was wrong, and asked Yu Se again: "Sir, did you just mention Zhicai? Is Zhicai the word for that scene?"
Yu Se nodded and walked out of the tent slightly frustrated.
etc!
Drama situation, courtesy name Zhicai.
OMG!
Isn’t this just Xi Zhicai!
Who is Xi Zhi?
This person does not appear in the novel.
But it’s not that Xi Zhi Cai is mediocre, and Mr. Luo Guanzhong doesn’t like him. It’s that Xi Zhi Cai died too early, and it happened to catch up with the period when Xi Zhi Cai was outstanding. Mr. Luo played with Spring and Autumn brushwork and abbreviated the time
Due to the situation, classmate Xi Zhicai was naturally wiped away without a trace.
In fact, Xi Zhicai was one of the early masterminds of Cao Cao and Cao Dabailian.
When Cao Cao wiped out the Yellow Turbans and became the prime minister of Jinan, he was assisted by Xi Zhicai. It was precisely because of Xi Zhicai's assistance that Cao Cao was able to step onto the political stage of the late Han Dynasty from a small prime minister of Jinan and become a great figure in the future.
generation of overlords.
It can be said that without Xi Zhicai's initial advice for Cao Cao, it is very likely that Cao Cao would have delayed his debut for ten years.
Especially when Xi Zhicai died of illness, Cao Cao wrote a eulogy almost similar to that of Guo Jia. Of course, this does not mean that Xi Zhicai's talent is comparable to that of Guo Jia. Compared with the stunningly talented Guo Jia,
, Xi Zhicai is still far behind. After all, Cao Cao had committed some crimes during the era when Xi Zhicai was assisting him.
There were many near-fatal mistakes. However, the fact that he was highly praised by Cao Cao, who was very accurate in employing people, is enough to prove that Xi Zhicai was indeed a highly intelligent counselor.
Lin Feng never imagined that Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao's earliest mastermind, would now be hiding in a small county like Neihuang.
Hurriedly pulling Yu Se back, Lin Feng said with a smile: "Sir, wait a minute, Feng Zhicai was indeed a little slack. He misunderstood the teacher's words. Please forgive me for the negligence. Please tell Feng again in detail about Xi Zhicai's story."
Condition."
I was wrong. I didn't hear clearly just now. Please tell me more in detail.
Yu Se was indeed a little disappointed. Lin Feng didn't like the drama, so he completely cut off Yu Se's hope of leaving. Now seeing that Lin Feng suddenly became interested in the drama for some reason, he enthusiastically introduced the drama to Lin Feng.
Condition.
The situation at home is very bad. It's not just bad in general. It's probably difficult to even have enough to eat right now.
Xi Kuang, who originally came from a poor family, had a very average family background. This time he took his family and fled his hometown to avoid the war, and his life became even more difficult. Xi Kuang himself is a scholar, and he has no other means of making a living except for his poetry.
.When he first arrived in Neihuang, he could barely get by with Yu Se's help. Later, when the scene saw that Yu Se had no ambition and was unable to hold up the wall, he began to actively alienate Yu Se, making life even more difficult. On weekdays,
He could only rely on his wife to help with sewing and mending for some household expenses.
Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this.
I like people who live a carefree life like this. If Xi Zhicai lives a carefree life, it will be difficult to invite him. Now that he can't even eat, he can be recruited and treated well. It is already a certainty that he wants to recruit Xi Zhicai.
So Lin Feng asked Yu Se to write a letter of recommendation, and with only Zhou Cang with him, he hurriedly left the camp and went to Neihuang City to ask Xi Zhicai to come out and assist him.
The three armies were only two days away from Neihuang City. Lin Feng flew to the outside of Neihuang City in just one day and one night.
Lin Feng had just kidnapped the family's Huang Ling. Lin Feng felt guilty and did not dare to enter the city openly. He and Zhou Cang changed into the clothes of ordinary people and left their war horses among the farmers in the city. The two of them honestly lined up with the people to enter the city.
Following Yu Se's guidance, Lin Feng asked for directions and finally arrived at the door of Xi Zhicai's house.
Xi Zhicai lived in a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city. The adobe courtyard walls had been blown to pieces by the wind and rain, and several walls had collapsed to less than half a person's height. Standing outside the courtyard, one could clearly see the inside of the courtyard.
everything of.
At this time, in the shade of the trees in the courtyard, there was a scholar about 27 or 28 years old, holding a bamboo slip, shaking his head and pacing while reciting something softly. There was an old woman sitting in the sun in the main room, about 10 years old.
He was about fifty years old, mending the clothes in his hands under the bright sunshine.
Lin Feng looked around for a moment and felt that the scholar under the shade of the tree must be Xi Kang Xi Zhicai.
Bang bang bang.
Reaching out and slapping the door knocker, Lin Feng raised his voice and called out, "Is Mr. Xi at home?"
The front door of Xi Zhicai's house is even more pitiful than the courtyard wall. There are many big holes in the door. Although the door is closed, you can see the path outside the door at a glance from inside the courtyard.
Xi Zhicai heard someone calling outside the door and looked up to see two people standing at the door of the courtyard.
The leader was young, probably not even tall enough to have a crown, and his lips were red and his teeth were white. Although he was not a pretty person, his eyes were bright and handsome, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
At that moment, Xi Zhicai hurriedly closed the bamboo slips in his hands, walked quickly to the door, opened the tattered courtyard door, raised his hands and asked: "May I ask which master came to look for Zhicai, and why he came here?"
Who are you? What do you want to do with me?
Lin Feng hurriedly took the red fruit from Zhou Cang's hand and handed it to him with a very low posture.
"I think I am Mr. Kuang. I am at Linfeng in the north of Hebei Province. I heard that Mr. Tingting is very talented, so I came here to visit you."
Xi Zhicai was confused as soon as he heard it.
Lin Feng in Northern Hebei?
never heard of that.
Which family does this young master belong to, and where does he come from?
Where do you know me?
Not daring to take the gift from Lin Feng's hand, Xi Zhicai reached out to the door to welcome the guests.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lin, please come in quickly. I don't know where Mr. Lin heard the name Zhicai. Although Zhicai has been familiar with reading since he was a child, he was trapped in his talent and learning. He has never had a single word spread to the world. He is really worthy of the name.
He is known as a great talent."
"Sir, you are too modest."
Lin Feng was polite and followed Xi Zhicai into the courtyard.
Xi Zhicai's mother hurriedly put down her work and went back to her room to make tea and entertain guests.
Lin Feng and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other under the shade of a tree, took the tea bowl handed over by Xi Zhicai's mother and thanked him profusely.
Xi Zhicai was a free and easy man. He smiled at Lin Feng and said, "Mr. Lin, Zhicai's family is poor. We really don't have tea to entertain guests. We only have a bowl of water to serve you."
My family is poor and I can't afford tea when guests come, so just drink a bowl of boiled water.
Lin Feng drank down the tea bowl in his hand, showed the bottom of the bowl to Xi Zhicai and said: "A gentleman seeks the road but not the food. A gentleman cares about the road but not poverty. I admire your talent and learning, and I am the friend of a gentleman. The so-called gentleman
Our acquaintance is as light as water, and if you can drink clear water with your husband, it will be better than drinking the nectar of the Nine Heavens."
Lin Feng's words made Xi Zhicai's eyes light up, he picked up his tea bowl and laughed.
"Okay, Zhicai, I'll have a drink with you."
After the tea was served, Xi Zhicai put down the tea bowl, looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "I don't know where the master heard the name Zhicai, and I have to bother the master to come to the door in person."
Xi Zhicai asked again, who did you know about me from?
"To be honest, sir, Feng is currently serving as the imperial robber captain. The day before yesterday, I learned from County Magistrate Yu that sir has a great talent, so I came to visit you. I came here specifically to seek advice from you. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
"So the young master is the Captain Lin who captured the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Liang alive a few days ago under Neihuang City?"
"It's down there."
Xi Zhicai laughed out loud.
"Liu Lieutenant Lin, you are so brave. You dare to kidnap an official of the imperial court in broad daylight under the guise of a thief. Aren't you afraid that others will find out about it in the future and you will lose your property and your life?"
"I wonder why sir said this?"
Lin Feng had no intention of hiding Yu Se's kidnapping from Xi Zhicai. If he had Xi Zhicai's help, he wouldn't be able to hide it. But as soon as the two met, Xi Zhicai guessed the matter and decided to let him go.
Lin Feng was a little surprised.
Xi Zhicai shook his head gently.
"This matter is not difficult to guess. If Magistrate Yu had mentioned Zhicai's name in front of Colonel Lin a few days ago, you would not have waited for the army to set off before coming to Zhicai's house. Since the Colonel only arrived today, then
It must be related to the capture of County Magistrate Yu."
"Sir, your discernment is indeed perfect, and Feng has to do the same. Baizhanshachang Feng has never lagged behind others, but he lacks people around him to make suggestions, so I made this decision. If Feng can get help from Mr. Feng, I think he will never do it again in the future.
This is a wrong move.”
I am good at fighting, as evidenced by my ability to capture Zhang Liang, but I lack advisers around me. How about you come with me?
"Zhicai is vulgar and should not be praised by the captain. This matter should not be mentioned again."
I don't like you, let's talk about something else.
Lin Feng didn't persuade Xi Zhicai with just a few words, and now he once again resorted to the trick of crossing the crowd and deceiving the general trend of the world.
"Sir, you have a lot of talent. What do you think about the current Yellow Turban rebellion?"
When they talked about this, Lin Feng's strengths came to light. The more Xi Zhicai and Lin Feng chatted, the more surprised they became. They didn't expect that although the young man in front of him was young, his vision was surprisingly accurate. He could secretly match what Xi Zhicai was thinking on weekdays.
In tune.
The two of them chatted very enthusiastically.
When Xi Zhicai's wife returned home from working outside, Xi Zhicai suddenly stood up and held her hands towards Lin Feng.
"In this case, Zhicai will leave this broken body and follow you, Captain Lin."
