The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 314 Li Yuan Design
Li Yuan recruited soldiers again in Xiapi. He estimated that he would fight Sun Ce in two years, so he still had time to train soldiers. After all, he suffered a lot from the battle with Liu Biao and needed time to recuperate.

Now Li Yuan is most concerned about Ma Xian who is studying at Lumen Academy. For some reason, he always feels that there is something wrong with Ma Xian. He once asked Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu to monitor Ma Xian, but none of them found Ma Xian. The abnormality was either because he was suspicious, or because Ma Xian hid it so well that even Zhuge Liang and others didn't see the slightest clue.

Xu Shu thought that there was nothing wrong with Ma Xian, but Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong felt that the more normal Ma Xian behaved, the more suspicious. After returning from Xiangyang this time, Li Yuan decided to ask Sima Hui to inquire.

Li Yuan came to Lumen Academy, and now Lumen Academy has been expanded to a very large size. After several years of development, it has gradually entered the right track, and more and more students have been recruited. There are nearly a thousand students, but Li Yuan is not satisfied with this. There will only be more and more people studying, and more and more Lumen Academy needs to be established. With the continuous popularization of teaching, the people will become more and more thirsty for knowledge.

When Li Yuan walked into the courtyard, he could hear the sound of Lang Lang reading. The courtyard was very uniquely arranged, with a clear pool, elegant rockery, and a big banyan tree planted next to the gazebo. When he walked under the tree, he could smell the fragrance The taste is refreshing.

It was a coincidence that Sima Hui didn't have to teach today, and he just happened to be resting in the gazebo. Li Yuan saw him as soon as he entered the door, and walked over to salute: "Hahahaha, Mr. Shui Jing is still charming after half a year."

Sima Hui was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Yuan to appear suddenly. He smiled and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate General Li on his return from victory. Now General Li is in full swing and has become the number one prince in the world. .”

Li Yuan rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy is worthy of being a scholar, and he also speaks in a way. This horse is really comfortable for him, but he still humbly said: "Mr. Shui Jing, I have something to do today. ask."

"What General Li wants to do, the old man knows everything."

"Do you have a student here named Ma Xian?" Li Yuan cut straight to the point.

"Ma Xian?" Sima Hui lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "There is indeed a man named Ma Xian, who is just in his early twenties and is still very young. He came to Lumen Academy to study three years ago, although his qualifications are average. , but it is still hard work, as the saying goes, hard work can make up for one's weakness, and now you are quite talented, even if you serve under General Li, there is no problem."

"Mr. Shui Jing has countless students. You can still be impressed by this person with average aptitude. He really has a photographic memory." Li Yuan praised.

"No, I'm already old, and my memory is not as good as when I was young. The reason why I remember Ma Xian is not because I have a good memory, but because Ma Xian's appearance is too special, so I can't forget it. .”

"Are the eyes too sharp, like eagles and wolves?"

"Indeed, this person's eyes are indeed something I have seen in my life, which is very rare." Sima Hui seemed to realize something, and glanced at Li Yuan, "Could it be that Ma Xian is General Li's friend?"

"No," Li Yuan shook his head, "I don't know this person before, but I have some doubts about his identity, so I pay more attention to him. Mr. Shui Jing said that he has mediocre qualifications. Is it possible that you are always mistaken?" ?”

"Impossible. I have taught him for three years. His performance is indeed not top-notch, but only average. He is a talent, but not a great talent, unless he deliberately hides his talent." Sima Hui was very sure.

"Yes, Mr. Shui Jing is right, he is deliberately hiding his talent and learning," Li Yuan suddenly thought of an idea, "Mr. Shui Jing, please do me a favor later and send an order to Ma Xian, saying that he has completed his studies." Cheng, recommend him to serve as an official under my command, and ask him to come to the Governor's Mansion immediately to find me."

"But General Li promised that I would not force my students to become officials." Sima Hui frowned, as if a little reluctant.

"Don't be afraid to tell sir, this person has a special identity." Li Yuan looked around, leaned into Sima Hui's ear and whispered, "I suspect that this person was sent by Cao Cao, and his real identity is Sima Yi, named Zhongda, Sima Hanoi Son of the house."

"Sima Yi? I have indeed heard that Sima Fang in Hanoi has eight sons, but why does General Li think that Ma Xian is Sima Yi?" Sima Hui expressed doubts about this.

"I've heard that Sima Yi has an appearance like an eagle watching a wolf. This kind of appearance is rare in the world. Now Ma Xian has such an appearance, so I doubt it. After a while, Mr. recommended him to be an official under my command. If Ma Xian is very happy or directly refuses, it proves that he may be the real Ma Xian. If he refuses first, and then you persuade him, he immediately changes his attitude and is willing to become an official, then it may be a fake Ma Xian. "

"Okay then, I'll help you this time."

"Then I'll go back first and wait for your news." Li Yuan said goodbye and left, returning to the Governor's Mansion.

Sima Hui went to talk to Ma Xian and took him to the study.

"I don't know why the teacher is looking for his disciples?" Ma Xian cupped his fists and said respectfully, his sharp eyes did not look at Sima Hui, as if deliberately hiding his eyes.

"Ma Xian, you have studied with me for three years, and I have given you everything I can teach. Among so many students, you are outstanding, comparable to Kong Ming and Shi Yuan. They have left Lumen Academy to go their own way. I don't know you. Do you have your own ideas? If not, I would recommend you to serve under General Li, and you will definitely be able to get his reuse." Sima Hui said deliberately.

Ma Xian's body trembled slightly, but this movement did not escape Sima Hui's eyes. Ma Xian said: "How can my talent compare with Kong Ming and Shi Yuan? Let’s polish the academy well.”

Sima Hui stood up, walked to Ma Xian, patted Ma Xian on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Ma Xian, in fact, you don't need to hide your talents. I have taught for decades and have taught countless students. You can see them at a glance. Your talent is definitely no less than that of Kong Ming and Shi Yuan, although I don't know why you did this, but I won't bother to ask, but have you never thought about making contributions after learning a good skill?"

Ma Xian finally raised his head and looked at Sima Hui carefully with his eyes, as if meeting Sima Hui for the first time.

Sima Hui continued: "General Li is a rare hero, and now he has conquered half of Jingzhou. He is the most likely to win the world today. You will be able to display your ambitions by following his side. There is only one chance. , think about it carefully."
