I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 513 At the end of the road, the road enters Xuzhou

Wang Yue took a group of his disciples and went to Feiru County to meet Liu Jian in the carriage that Liu Jian personally provided for him.

Upon meeting, Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment.

Wang Yue's appearance does not seem to be worthy of his reputation as the world's number one swordsman.

To be honest, Wang Yue's appearance is very ordinary, and his figure is not tall, and his head of white and black hair makes him look a little haggard.

Rather than saying that he is a great swordsman who is famous all over the world, it is better to say that he is an ordinary farmer who runs a small business in the village.

However, after only a short period of stupefaction, Liu Jian suddenly felt joy in his heart.

That's what he wanted.

The Anbu members he wants to train will inevitably perform assassinations, poisoning, or various shady tasks among various hostile forces in the future.

If these members have the aura of a great swordsman all over their bodies, um...then the establishment of this organization will inevitably fail.

As for Wang Yue's state, it feels a little bit back to basics.

A person who is really capable and capable is thrown in the crowd, but people can't find it... What Liu Jian needs are countless people like this.

"Why is the prince late?"

Liu Jian smiled and stepped forward to hold Wang Yue's hand.

Wang Yue smiled wryly when he heard the words.

"An old man is nothing more than a citizen of the mountains and fields. He has no knowledge of the army and no government. How dare he come before the general? It's too late to come here today."

Liu Jian pulled Wang Yue into the hall, and smiled as he walked: "I regard the prince as an outstanding talent in the world. With the prince's ability, he can reach a hundred soldiers under my tent. How can you be modest?"

Later, Liu Jian asked Wang Yue to call in six of his disciples.

These six disciples were all orphans adopted by Wang Yue since childhood. After Wang Yue's introduction, Liu Jian knew that these people had received Wang Yue's true biography.

It's just that among the six disciples, there is no Shi A. It seems that he is not learning art from Wang Yue's side now.

What is even more commendable is that among Wang Yue's disciples, there are still two women.

This made Liu Jian very happy, which showed that Wang Yue could not only train men to use swords, but also train women to use martial arts.

Whether in ancient or modern times, the value and role of a female assassin or intelligence agent with special skills is much stronger than that of a man.

There are many places that male intelligence agents can't enter, things they can't do, information they can't hear, people they can't assassinate... just change it to a woman.

There is no way, this is the natural advantage brought to them by gender, and the elders cannot compare.

Later, Liu Jian held a banquet and invited Wang Yue and his six disciples to drink.

Perhaps because of the requirements for kendo, Wang Yue and his disciples didn't drink much.

After eating for a while, Liu Jian expressed his idea of ​​hiring Wang Yue as a teacher.

It's just that in front of Wang Yue's six disciples, Liu Jian didn't directly say why he asked Wang Yue to be a teacher to teach the students swordsmanship.

After listening to Liu Jian's request, Wang Yue stroked his beard and frowned slightly.

He seemed to have vaguely figured out Liu Jian's intentions.

"I am grateful for the wrong love of the general, but I just want to ask the general, there are two swords, the righteous and the strange, and there are soldiers under the general who want to learn swords. Is it the sword of the righteous way, or the way of learning the strange sword? ?”

Liu Jian asked, "What is the sword of righteousness?"

Wang Yue said seriously: "The way of a righteous sword is like the way of casting a sword. The mountain of red viburnum is broken to produce tin, and the stream of Ruoye is dried up to produce copper. It's just right!"

"What is the strange sword?"

Wang Yue didn't answer, he just let out a long sigh.

Then he waved to the six disciples behind him and said, "You wait outside the hall."

The six disciples were very obedient, and then they bowed their hands and said goodbye, got up and walked out.

After the six disciples walked down, Wang Yue stood up and bowed to Liu Jian.

"The old man knows what the general thinks. Since the general has asked about the way of the sword, it means that the general wants Wang to train not a swordsman but... an assassin."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Killing a person in ten steps, not staying for a thousand miles, brushing off his clothes and hiding his name deeply... I want to ask the prince to help the person I teach, that is the kind of person."

Wang Yue sighed softly.

What a sentence that hides merit and fame, it is really apt to describe!
Sure enough, he is the Lord of Shansi!
Seeing Wang Yue's hesitation, Liu Jian asked, "Your Majesty doesn't want to?"

Wang Yue said very sincerely: "Ten years ago, Mr. Wang might not be willing, but now...a soldier dies for his confidant, and it seems that Mr. Wang can't refuse just because the general treats Mr. Wang so seriously. "

Liu Jian stood up and walked to Wang Yue's side. He took his hand and said earnestly: "If the prince is not willing, I will not force it, but what the prince just said is wrong. Not an assassin, but a national soldier of my big man."

"The prince has been living in Hebei these years, so he naturally knows what Jian's policies in Hebei are all for."

"In Liu's heart, what he carries is not self-interest, but only my people!"

"It's just to govern the world and fight against the barbarians. There is only righteousness alone, but it is far from enough."

"If there are rare warriors who can determine the world with a single sword, then why would they sacrifice thousands of lives on the battlefield for this victory?"

"Obviously it's just a single sword skill, but it can save thousands of lives. Why doesn't Liu use this sword skill? Instead, he wants to do something that will kill thousands of bones?"

"Your Majesty needs to know that the person Liu is now asking the Maharaja to train, although he is not a swordsman, brave and righteous hero, but he is also a supreme national warrior who can save thousands of lives every time he swings a sword!"

"Dare to ask the prince, compared with cultivating righteous swordsmen, is this kind of achievement stronger? Is it valuable? Can it be admired by the world?"

Although these remarks are suspected of deceit, they are indeed a matter of fact and belong to the truth.

This is where Liu Jian is so good, any kind of truth can be said as noble words when he puts it in his mouth.

Moreover, these words raised Wang Yue's height at once, and improved his self-awareness and positioning.

Wang Yue has lived a long time, and now, gold, silver, wealth, and even reputation are not so important to him.

What he lacks in his heart now is a sense of recognition.

After all, he is the number one swordsman in the world, he has been neglected by the world for too long.

He obviously has a huge reputation, but he is not taken seriously by others.

This feeling is like having a fart that can't come out, it's extremely uncomfortable.

But now, Liu Jian has almost raised him to the height of a saint. Although it is somewhat suspected of deliberate flattery, what Liu Jian said makes sense. How can you make Wang Yue unhappy?
The people I teach can save thousands of lives with a single sword strike. Looking at the world, I'm afraid no one can do more than Wang Yue's teaching, right?
It is the door of reading for those who claim to be sages of Confucian classics, so what?

No matter how many disciples and old officials they teach, so what?

Can they save thousands of people at once?
They cheated tens of thousands of people!
"Hehehehe."

"Thanks to the great general's love, how can Wang have any reason not to be loyal to the country and not to do his best for the people of the world?"

"What orders does the general have from now on, who do you want Mr. Wang to teach, just ask."

"Mr. Wang must use all his heart and soul, even if it is a rotten wood, he must carve it into a good material for the world."

Liu Jian said with satisfaction: "It is really a great fortune for the country to have the prince's words. Liu thanked the prince on behalf of the big man."

……

……

In Hebei, the four prefectures were pacified, Bingzhou and Youzhou prospered, the foreign races were used by the Han people, the labor force surged, and everything was thriving.

The emperor and Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong are using troops to Xiliang, striving to create a feat that can be passed on to future generations.

Yuan Shao of Jingzhou is uniting with Yuan Yi, actively exerting force in the middle of Shu, and striving to connect Jingzhou and Yizhou as a whole.

And Cao Cao in Jiangdong is also learning from Liu Jian, vigorously rectifying Yangzhou's internal affairs, reusing poor families, establishing commerce and trade, promoting talents, and reclaiming farmland... At the same time, he sent people to Hebei to investigate and secretly learn about the water conservancy projects constructed by the Hebei Technical Department along the Yellow River Technology, actively enriching the people, and preparing to target Shanyue...

It can be said that these people are now working hard to manage the people's livelihood within their respective jurisdictions, and what they are doing is in a sense strengthening the nation.

Compared with these people, there is only one person who is in a period of confusion.

This person is Yuan Shu.

Poor Yuan Shu, who caused Liu Jian, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao to take turns, has now become a wandering army, with no place to stand alone.

His only choice now is to return to Yanzhou and regain his strength.

But for Yuan Shu, there was no need to go to the boundary of Yanzhou.

Not only is it dilapidated, but it has also been war-torn for a long time, and it also belongs to the middle of the major forces.

Yuan Shu knew with his toes that if he returned to Yanzhou, sooner or later he would be wiped out by the imperial court, Liu Jian, Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao.

But it was at this time that Yuan Shu got an opportunity.

That was the land of Xuzhou, and many Yellow Turbans emerged again and began to riot in various counties.

In fact, due to the theory that the sky makes up for the average, the states and counties of the Han Dynasty are now constantly sending out yellow scarf rebels. Even in a place as powerful as Hebei, there are still refugees at the bottom who gather to rebel. It couldn't form a big situation, and it didn't do much, but the elite soldiers under Liu Jian's command put out the fire.

But compared to Hebei and Jingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou has been a bit too rampant in the past two years.

Of course, this is not unrelated to Tao Qian's governance in Xuzhou.

Tao Qian has a strong personality, but he is getting older and older, and his mentality and ability to deal with things are worse than when he was young.

Hebei was governed by Liu Jian like an iron bucket, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains and Qingzhou did not dare to go there to make trouble, so they set their target on Xuzhou.

Tao Qian himself has been operating in Xuzhou for many years. Although he has a powerful Danyang army under his command, he was unable to form a centralized power in Xuzhou. All he relied on were local prominent families in Xuzhou.

And these prominent families helped Tao Qian to rule Xuzhou, so the benefits they needed would naturally be doubled.

And where do these benefits come from?Naturally, it is scraped from the interests of the small and medium-sized tyrants. After all, the cake is so big, and the more others have, the less they have.

The interests of the small and medium tyrants have been seized, so who will be responsible for their losses?
Naturally, it is the lowest level of Lishu people, and this is the reason for such a person to bully others.

Tao Qian was incapable of rectifying the powerful, so Xuzhou was in a situation where power was scattered in the local area.

Power scattered in different places, and the people at the lowest level rebelled repeatedly. Tao Qian had to send troops to suppress them repeatedly. As time went on, Xuzhou became a bit chaotic.

The momentum of chaos in Xuzhou is too great, and outsiders may be needed to help suppress the rebels.

Tao Qian had a close relationship with Yuan Shu in the past, but now Yuan Shu has troops but no place to garrison, so Tao Qian wanted Yuan Shu to help him put down the rebellion.

Regarding this matter, Tao Qian's subordinates have different opinions.

Some of them supported Tao Qian to let Yuan Shu come to Xuzhou, but some people hoped that Tao Qian could find Yuan Shao.

And some people hope that Tao Qian can find Liu Jian...
