Chapter 65 Conquest
With the announcement of pacification of Jiujiang County, with the advice of the Lord Bo Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu made up his mind and began to move to Shouchun to take charge, as a way to deter Huainan as a subsequent foundation.
Just as Yuan Shu was preparing for various matters of his migration, Yuan Yao, who was in Shouchun, also began to work hard.
After pacifying Jiujiang, Yuan Yao first focused on talents.
As the saying goes, only with talents can one do great things.
How can we develop and build without anyone?
According to investigations, Yuan Yao received reliable information that a famous scholar now took refuge in Yangzhou and happened to live in seclusion in a residential area north of Shouchun City.
This person's surname is Liu, his name is Fu, and his name is Yuanying.
On this day, Yuan Yao prepared enough gifts and then took a car toward Liu's mansion under the escort of Xu Chu, Yuan Jiao and more than ten personal guards.
Walk outside the mansion.
Yuan Yao looked up at the appearance of the mansion, but it was not as high-gate as he imagined. Instead, it was just a small mansion that occupied a small area. It did not look so grand, but it was a little chilling.
It seems to be so inconsistent with the identity of a famous scholar.
Could it be that the famous scholars at the end of the Han Dynasty were treated like this?
It's impossible to think about it, but this can also show Liu Fu's character more and more.
From this we can see that Liu Fu is a person who advocates frugality.
After carefully observing the surroundings for a while, Yuan Yao silently remembered them in his heart. He had seen something from the residence of this mansion.
Perhaps when persuading them to join, you can avoid the important things.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yao looked back first and ordered Yuan Jiao. Xu Chu said, "Zhongkang, Yuan Jiao, you can temporarily lead the personal guards outside the mansion. I can just visit Liu Fu and enter the mansion alone!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu suddenly looked anxious and said, "Young Master, you won't be in any danger, right?"
After the words are finished.
At this moment, Xu Chu showed concern.
Since he was ordered to escort military rations last time but did not personally protect him, resulting in Yuan Yao being robbed by Zhou Tai, he has been very guilty in his heart.
Now he is almost inseparable from Yuan Yao and is always protected.
Immediately following, he was extremely sensitive at this moment. He heard that Yuan Yao was going to enter the mansion alone, but he was also worried about the situation of the battle.
"Zhongkang doesn't have to worry about Liu Fu's character. Besides, I went to visit him, so he wouldn't have murdered guests at his own home, right?"
"If this is the case, then he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Shilin in the future."
Yuan Yao looked at Xu Chu's worried look, then waved his hand and explained seriously.
Seeing him showing a confident expression, Xu Chu gave up and took his relatives to wait outside to present the gift to Yuan Yao.
When he stepped forward and arrived at the front of the mansion, Yuan Yao gently knocked on the mansion.
After a long time, the door of the mansion creaked and opened slowly. A man came out from the inside. He was about fifty years old and had already gray hair. He looked at him wearing the clothes of his servants.
Lenovo should be a servant in the mansion.
"Young Master, I wonder what it is for you to come?"
The old man did have extraordinary eyes. He just glanced at Yuan Yao slightly and then dressed up like jade from the gorgeous clothes he wore, paired with a handsome face.
A noble spirit flashed inexplicably in my body.
From the old man's experience of meeting and visiting the head of his family over the years, we can feel that Yuan Yaojue is very human.
Therefore, when he asked, his wrinkled face couldn't help but look respectful.
"Oh, hello, my surname is Yuan Yao, and I am the eldest son of General Xiahou. I came to visit Mr. Liu Yuanying on this trip. I wonder if I can give you a notice?"
Yuan Yao also responded with a polite and polite statement.
It seems extremely polite.
Although the other party is just a small villain, as Yuan Yao's identity, there is no need to be like this.
But his trip was originally intended to seek help from Liu Fu, so he must be humble and lower his attitude.
When the old man heard that the other party was visiting the head of the family, the old man suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "Okay... Young Master, wait a moment, the villain will come here!"
The old man reacted very quickly. After asking about Yuan Yao's purpose of coming, he went back to his house without any delay.
Looking at this skillful sign, Yuan Yao guessed that perhaps there were many people visiting Liu Fu before him.
After waiting for a while, the old man who had just opened the door came back and invited Yuan Yao into the room with a smile on his face.
...
Liu Mansion.
Indoor, in the hall.
The old man slowly led Yuan Yao into the hall to sit before leaving.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man who was about thirty years old slowly walked out.
He arrived in front of Yuan Yao and bowed and said, "Liu Fu, a Caomin, met Mr. Yuan. The young master was in a humble house. The Caomin was in a farewell place. He hoped to forgive his crime."
When I heard that the person in front of me was Liu Fu, Yuan Yao was shocked, and then he almost subconsciously stood up and bowed and said, "Sir, don't worry, you just came to visit suddenly and did not report it in advance. But I lost my courtesy, no wonder Mr. "
The two of them gave gifts to each other to express their apology.
Seeing Yuan Yao's face was humble and giving people a sense of intimacy, Liu Fu's deep feelings for him suddenly increased.
But Yuan Yao was also inadvertently looking at Liu Fu carefully.
But I found that the difference between the impression that the person in front of me and the one I had imagined before was too huge.
Originally, he felt that Liu Fu must have been like most scholars in this era, dressed in well-dressed and breeze-like image of a famous scholar.
But now his real image is wearing a mattress, very simple dress, with a goat beard under his forehead, and his face is extremely ordinary.
If Yuan Yao hadn't been foresighted, he would have regarded him as an ordinary person.
Can such an image be linked to famous scholars?
It's incredible!
However, if you think about it carefully, it is normal.
After all, Liu Fu was originally a low-level prime minister in Pei State, and now he lives in seclusion in Yangzhou and is just a refugee. It is reasonable to have a hard life.
on the other hand.
Liu Fu in the original history was a talented person who was extremely good at governing prefectures and counties and rectifying people's livelihood. He dressed so simply that this was also a key factor in being able to get along with ordinary people.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, they each divided the seats of the host and the host.
Immediately, Liu Fu, who had just sat down, couldn't help but bow and ask: "Fu has something to do, but she doesn't know what the young master is coming to the door, what's the point of doing?"
Although Liu Fu had some guesses in his heart, he still asked straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao also spoke quickly and said bluntly: "Yao came here this time, especially to invite his husband to serve as an official to join our army and develop and build the newly pacified Yangzhou counties."
"I wonder if sir?"
Seeing that Liu Fu's attitude was also quite straightforward, Yuan Yao did not go too far in response to this, and directly threw out an olive branch.
After the words came, Liu Fu naturally did not agree immediately, but seemed to have a look of surprise on his face. He smiled and covered his face and said, "Young Master is too arrogant. Fu is just a grass man. How can he bear such an important task?"
Obviously, he is also responding humbly and waiting for the follow-up.
Hearing these words, Yuan Yao naturally would not give up, so he pondered for a moment, then praised with a smile: "Sir, you don't have to be so humble. With your talent, if you cannot take on the important task of governing a state, then no one will be able to do it today."
"Yao has just pacified Jiujiang County, and his subordinates have a sharp lack of governance talents. According to Yao's understanding, Mr. has a lot of experience in governing prefectures and counties, improving people's livelihood, guiding the people to reclaim wasteland, and organizing people to farm."
"So, Yaocai decided to invite Mr. to serve as an official to help me and jointly seek goodwill for the people of Yangzhou."
After these words, Yuan Yao said extremely righteously.
He directly chose to persuade him from the perspective of righteousness, and then he vaguely praised him for a few words.
For a moment, Liu Fu's mood improved a lot.
Seeing Yuan Yao's heart was worried about the country and the people, but it was not like a disguise. Instead, he could feel the true feelings, Liu Fu's favorability continued to rise unknowingly.
For a moment, the two started talking again.
Note: Liu Fu, whose courtesy name is Yuanying, was also a prime minister of Peiguo, and avoided chaos in Yangzhou.
