Chapter 223 Talents come from afar

,,,,,,,,,,,,

It was actually Dong Yun, Liu Jing was slightly stunned. Is it the Dong Yun who succeeded Zhuge Liang in history?

For a moment, Liu Jing was not sure. He didn't show any expression, but nodded and smiled slightly to Dong Yun, and said to everyone: "Welcome to Jiangxia. Whether it is the northern aristocratic or Jingzhou aristocratic, as long as they are talented people, Jiangxia Capital warmly welcomes you and will definitely arrange your lives. You are the first batch. I hope more aristocratic people will follow you to Jiangxia."

Several scholars were overjoyed and bowed together and said, "I wish to serve the public."

Liu Jing nodded and said to Xu Shu: "I will hand them over to you. If you have any difficulties, go and discuss with the Minister of County Su. You can draft a resettlement plan to accept more gentry."

Xu Shu smiled at several scholars and said, "Everyone, come with me, I will arrange your food and accommodation first. We are slowly talking about other things."

Several scholars bowed to Liu Jing, and followed Xu Shu with their luggage. Only Dong Yun was left on the dock. He took a boat to Jiangxia and finally went to Jiangdong. He just came to Jiangxia for a trip, not to do an errand, but Liu Jing paid attention to him.

Liu Jing slowly walked to him and smiled, "If I remember correctly, my husband's father is currently the magistrate of Chengdu County."

“It’s right”

Dong Yun was a little surprised, "How could Gong Jing know?"

"I accidentally heard someone tell me in Longzhong, why did Gong Dong think of coming to Jiangxia?"

"I came to Jingzhou with Zhuge Kongming. I had a great battle with Chaisang, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."

Liu Jing laughed, "What a coincidence. I went to visit Kong Ming. Sister Yueying said that she had gone to Shuzhong, so she should have gone to Brother Dong's house, right?"

Dong Yun nodded, "That's right, I returned to Longzhong with Kong Ming the day after Miss Tao left Zhuge Mansion, and I also heard my sister-in-law talk about this."

"Then we are not outsiders. It just so happens that I have time these two days. Why not accompany Brother Dong to visit Jiangxia?"

Dong Yun was even more surprised. He didn't expect Liu Jing to accompany him to travel to Jiangxia in person. Although Liu Jing kept saying that he was not an outsider, Dong Yun knew in his heart that he had nothing to do with Liu Jing, and Liu Jing's enthusiasm made him feel a little moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing, for your kindness, you really don't have to worry."

"Brother Dong is out of here, I have always admired Ling Zunge. Since I came from Bashu, I naturally want to fulfill my friendship with the landlord, so don't be polite."

Dong Yun heard that he always admired his father, which was obviously a polite statement, but he was still moved by Liu Jing's enthusiasm and stopped pushing him away.

"Since that's the case, I'll trouble Mr. Jing. Mr. Jing is just a name that's Xiu Zhao. Mr. Jing can just call me my name."

Liu Jing smiled happily, "Then I will call you Brother Xiu Zhao, please let me welcome you first."

Liu Jing lowered his figure so much and entertained Dong Yun was naturally due to his desire for talents. He did not have the strong foundation as much as Cao Cao, nor did Sun Quan's career in Jiangdong, nor did Liu Bei's reputation in the world. Excellent talents would not easily surrender to him.

But without talent, there is no way to compete for the world. He can only seize every opportunity and take over all the talents he encounters. Dong Yun was also a prime minister in history. Since he appeared in Jiangxia, Liu Jing would never let him go again.

.........

The next morning, Liu Jing arranged a boat to lead Dong Yun to Chaisang, which was the place that Dong Yun wanted to go the most during this trip to the east.

On the river, the wind was cold and the boat was smooth and the wind was smooth as the arrows, sailing towards Chaisang.

"Brother Xiu Zhao thought Liu Zhang was like this person"

Liu Jing looked out the window and asked casually, but every expression of Dong Yun could not escape his eyes. He called Liu Zhang his name directly, which was actually rude. If Dong Yun regarded Liu Zhang as the main person, he would inevitably show a disgusting expression.

Dong Yun was not unhappy about Liu Jing calling him Liu Zhang's name directly. He shook his head, "To be honest, I don't like him at all."

"Why"

"There are only two rivers, fertile land thousands of miles, many people, many officials, military generals, and talents, but he can't even take a single Hanzhong. This person is really a mediocre person."

Speaking of this, Dong Yun sighed melancholy.

Liu Jing already understood a little in his heart. Dong Yun seemed to be not a simple trip, but also wanted to find a loyal master. So this opportunity depends on whether he could seize it.

"Brother Xiu Zhao can tell whether the world is in full swing"

Dong Yun shook his head and smiled, "The land of Bashu is blocked, and there is not much knowledge of the general trend in the world. If Duke Jing can tell him, I would like to listen carefully."

Liu Jing sat down, took out the paper and pen, and quickly drew a picture of his current power.

"Cao Cao occupied the north, and had the political advantage of wielding the sky to command the princes, and the military advantage of having good soldiers and sufficient food. Yuan Shao is dead, and the Yuan brothers are fighting for power within the country, which cannot last long. Hebei is at the end of his strength and will die within two years.

If Hebei was destroyed, Cao Cao would have dispatched his army to attack Jingxiang and seize the Jingxiang naval army. Then he advanced to Jiangdong and wiped out the south in one fell swoop. At that time, Liu Zhang, who was alone in Shuzhou, would inevitably surrender without fighting.

This is Cao Cao's great plan, and the key is whether the Sun and Liu families can abandon their past grudges and resist Cao together, take advantage of the weakness of the northern naval army's failure to learn about water wars, and seize the opportunity to defeat Cao's army. At that time, the world's territory will surely be repainted."

Dong Yun nodded silently and sighed in a low voice: "How can Sun and Liu have been resolving their hatred for generations easily?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, took out the letter Sun Quan gave him, and handed it to Dong Yun, "This is a letter written by Sun Quan to me. Brother Xiu Zhao might as well watch it."

Dong Yun already understood in his heart that Liu Jing valued him so much, probably because he wanted to recruit him. He hesitated for a moment and took the letter.

Sun Quan wrote very clearly in the letter and was willing to work with Liu Jing to fight against Cao's army. This surprised Dong Yun and said quickly: "Mr. Jing and Jiangdong are allies, can the provincial governor agree?"

Liu Jing laughed, "My uncle doesn't have this courage, which does not mean that all Liu brothers have no vision and mind. Jiangxia is my Liu Jing's Jiangxia, what does it have to do with Xiangyang?"

Dong Yun admired him in his heart, stood up and bowed, "Dong Yun has received the teachings of Gong Jing's ambition."

.........

Five days later, Dong Yun returned from Chaisang, and Liu Jing still came back with him. Liu Jing's official duties were piled up, so he really had no time to chat with Dong Yun, so he had to sit at his desk to review some emergency books.

Dong Yun sat against the window, feeling ups and downs. Although Liu Jing did not mention a word from beginning to end, he had already fully understood Liu Jing's intention, hoping that he could stay in Jiangxia, so he worked tirelessly with him and abandoned all official duties to guide him.

This heavy human favor was pressed in Dong Yun's heart, making it difficult for him to repay him, and he was also very conflicted. His original intention was to go to Jiangdong to find opportunities.

This is what his father meant. Although his father was loyal to Liu Zhang, he was not optimistic about Liu Zhang and hoped that he could go to Jiangdong to seek a future, but his father firmly opposed him seeking a job in Jingzhou.

Although his father arranged a line for him, he would eventually leave himself.

Dong Yun was not optimistic about Liu Zhang, nor was Liu Biao, but he did not consider Liu Jing. Among the princes in the world, except for Hebei, Central Plains, Jingzhou, and Bashu, the rest was Jiangdong.

He heard that Sun Quan was respectful to the wise and humble, and was a rare wise ruler, which made him quite moved. He planned to travel to Jiangdong and look for opportunities to seek officialdom. Jiangxia was just a stop for him to stop and rest in the middle.

However, he unexpectedly met Liu Jing, who was eager to seek talents in Jiangxia. From Liu Jing's attitude towards those scholars, he could see Liu Jing's desire for talents.

When he and several scholars came, they had a deep understanding of them. Except for Cao Lin's little talent, the others were mediocre people.

Despite this, Liu Jing still gave them generous treatment, which even they themselves could not imagine. This was a bit of a slight romance to buy bones with a wealth of money.

There is also the Lumen test that no matter how high or low a person is, only the only one can raise.

All these left a deep impression on Dong Yun, making him deeply feel Liu Jing's desire for talents and Liu Jing's lofty ambitions. Although he only has Jiangxia now, once Liu Biao dies, can Liu Qi and Liu Cong compete with him with his strength?

Maybe he could really consider staying in Jiangxia, but how his father told him how to firmly oppose his job in Jingzhou, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Dong Yun pondered for a moment, and he glanced at Liu Jing. Seeing that he was reviewing the military affairs certificate with all his concentration, he hesitated and said: "Duke Jing"

"Brother Xiu Zhao, what's the matter?" Liu Jing stopped and smiled.

"I want to go to Jiangxia Academy, but I don't need a minister to accompany me. I just have a horse and a guide."

Liu Jing nodded happily and agreed, "I will make arrangements for you when I return to Wuchang."

.............

Dong Yun found Kuai Liang in Jiangxia Academy. He heard Liu Jing say that Kuai Liang was the head of Jiangxia Academy, and Kuai Liang had a good relationship with his father Dong He. Dong Yun often went to Kuai Mansion to study when he was young. It can be said that Kuai Liang was his uncle.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land made Kuai Liang overjoyed and invited Dong Yun to his study and let him sit down with a smile.

"How could a nephew think of coming to Jiangxia?"

"My nephew planned to travel to Jiangdong and cross Jiangxia. He happened to meet Jinggong. He was enthusiastic about traveling to Jiangxia and had been staying in Jiangxia for six days."

"Oh, are you familiar with Gong Jing?"

Dong Yun shook his head, "I'm not familiar with it, this is the first time I've met."

Kuai Liang was a little surprised. Liu Jing actually accompanied Dong Yun for six days. You must know that Liu Jing was so busy that he was often so busy that he had no time to accompany an ordinary man to travel to Jiangxia.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang couldn't help but look at Dong Yun again. He knew that this nephew was known as a child prodigy since childhood. His father taught well, so that his intelligence and intelligence could be used in knowledge. At the age of 11 or 2, Dong Yun's talent was no less than that of an adult.

He and his brother Kuai Yue often said that he would become a great man when he grew up. A few years ago, Dong Yun's reputation spread throughout Bashu. It seems that Liu Jing also wanted to keep him in Jiangxia.

Kuai Liang thought to himself that he could help Liu Jing.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, my nephew wants to go to Jiangdong to find a job, right?"

Dong Yun's thoughts were broken by Kuai Liang and nodded awkwardly, "I did plan so at first."

"My nephew, it's not me who said to you. Although Sun Quan of Jiangdong is known as a polite and a noble man, this scholar also has a prerequisite. He must be a famous man, and the Jiangdong family is preferred.

A young man like a virtuous nephew who has just passed the twentieth crown has no reputation or recommended by a famous scholar, and is also from Jingxiang, Bashu. Why did Wu Hou use your luck? You can be a book assistant. You may have a day to stand out until you are forty years old. You may have a little luck. After you have used up your money, you have to go home. Nephew, don’t believe the rumors. In fact, it depends on your connections everywhere.”

Dong Yun nodded silently. In fact, he had considered it in the past two days. Instead of going to Jiangdong to find a job in a daze, it is better to accept Liu Jing's enthusiasm. At least Liu Jing put down his posture and worked hard to accompany him, and had the kindness of knowing him.

Thinking of this, Dong Yun sighed and said, "I was my initial idea to go to Jiangdong, but now I want to stay in Jiangxia and repay Gong Jing's kindness for his kindness. I am a little worried that my father would not agree. He firmly opposed me to seeking a job in Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang smiled slightly, "This is very simple. You can stay at Jiangxia Academy to study with peace of mind. I recommend you to Jiangxia Academy. Your father will not make things difficult for you for my sake."
