The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Most of them were people holding minor official positions, and they hurried here upon hearing the call for recruitment. If they had no master, many of them would have chosen to join such a wise ruler on the spot.

Gradually, as night fell, there were only five people left at the door.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Liu Zhaoqing apologized to the women with yellow scarves on their sleeves and the Yanmen county official with a high ponytail.

One of the four plainly dressed women stepped forward and smiled: "Mr. Liu, please don't be polite. Let alone waiting for a while, as long as you are willing to take us in, even if we wait for a year, what's the harm?"

The person who was speaking was tall, with short hair and bare arms. Even though she was a woman, the bulge of her biceps was clearly visible.

He spoke with a strong Guanxi accent, and it was obvious that he would get along very well with Liu Pi in the future.

Looking at her appearance and her accent, Liu Zhaoqing knew that this person must be Zhou Cang, who also looked like the eldest sister among the four.

"Haha, how could I let you wait for a year? I want to get four talents now. Come on, follow Baoer to the private room on the second floor of the theater... well, it can be considered a private room. Go sit down and rest for a while, and we will talk in detail there."

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing also looked at Zhang Liao who had also been waiting.

Then he looked puzzled and said to himself: Why... is it blue?

Yes, in his eyes, there was actually a blue beam of light coming out of Zhang Liao's body.

This famous general and loyal man in his previous life was born in Yanmen County and started out as a minor official. After many twists and turns, he finally joined Cao's camp. Not only did he make various military exploits during this period, he was also ruthless to foreign tribes. He defeated the Wuhuan and killed Tadun, and rarely suffered defeat in his life.

He once led 800 soldiers to defeat the Eastern Wu's army of 100,000 at the Battle of Hefei, and even almost captured Sun Quan.

From then on, Zhang Liao was a powerful figure in Jiangdong, and there was also the allusion of "Zhang Liao stops the crying": a child was crying, and his mother called Liao over, and the crying stopped.

Liu Zhaoqing felt that such a famous general was definitely a rare talent in the legendary late Han Dynasty, but now... this blue light truly showed that Zhang Liao was a rare talent.

An attribute panel that only Liu Zhaoqing could see appeared in his eyes.

【Zhang Liao】

【People Characters】

【18 years old】

【Wu: 191】

【Wisdom: 92】

【Body: 189】

【Charm: 101】

[Heavenly Gift: Great Strength (人字); Tiger Power (地字, greatly improve your ability if the enemy is strong and you are weak)]

[Potential: None]

At a glance, this attribute panel is almost at the top of the human level, and the four attributes are very balanced.

Moreover, there are two gifts from heaven, and one of them is a gift from earth, and it even seems that the effect is comparable to that of heaven.

How can this not just be called a "ren ren jie"?

While he was confused, when he saw the word "None" in the last potential column, Liu Zhaoqing seemed to understand.

From my own summary and the information told by Sister Xuande, the difference between a person with the character "天" and a person with the character "地" is whether they have "earth spirit", and the biggest difference between a person with the character "地" and a person with the character "人" is whether they have "potential".

Zhang Liao clearly has the potential, but the content shows “not yet”.

Obviously, there is only one reason left, which is: Zhang Liao has not yet fully awakened at this time.

In other words, he met Zhang Wenyuan who was in the "newbie stage".

Liu Zhaoqing was not worried but happy, looking at Zhang Liao with shining eyes.

Yes, it is only 189 years now. Zhang Liao's actual age has also changed like other celebrities. At the age of , of course, he has just debuted. Maybe he just awakened his God-given gift last month and was sent to Yanmen County to serve as a soldier by his family. This is a real future that is promising.

Under the night sky, Zhang Liao's fair face was clearly visible. Seeing Liu Zhaoqing looking at her, although the look in her eyes was a little strange, she still took a step forward and said, "I didn't expect that so many righteous men would come to see my benefactor today. If I disturb you, I can come back another day to thank you..."

Before she could finish, Liu Zhaoqing stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"How could this be? Wenyuan, come with me quickly and sit down and rest for a while before we talk."

Zhang Liao was very surprised by Liu Zhaoqing's sudden enthusiasm.

However, thinking of Liu Zhaoqing's character, Zhang Liao didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Liu Zhaoqing was afraid of ignoring her, so she followed him into the private room on the second floor.

However, after Zhang Liao sat down, he did not say anything more. He only nodded in thanks when Baoer, the maid from Liu Zhaoqing's family, came over to serve him tea.

She knew that the protagonist in the private room at this moment was not herself, but the four heroes wearing yellow scarves on their arms. They came to join Liu Zhaoqing. These four were certainly much more important than herself, an "insignificant person".

Especially the tall woman with short hair and a slightly rough appearance. Zhang Liao had seen her bravery when she was fighting against those fish-eating and poisonous eagles before. If she were to be judged according to the classification of outstanding people since Emperor Guangwu, she would definitely be at the earth level.

Liu Zhaoqing spent all his family wealth and was able to get one outstanding person with the character "地" and three outstanding people with the character "人". Zhang Liao was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with other clans or other forces, for someone with Liu Zhaoqing's character, the bigger the power, the better.

She also knew her own limitations and could not say that her abilities were average, otherwise she would not have been specially transferred from Yanmen County to Luoyang by Governor Ding Yuan to assist the prefect of Yanmen County who was in Luoyang.

But she is only slightly better than the average "人" (human) hero, and is far inferior to the "地" (earth) hero in front of her, who seems to be called "Zhou Cang".

What Liu Zhaoqing lacks now is a brave man and a strategic man. Although she has a little bit of both, she is not very proficient in either.

That’s not right. What am I thinking about?

Zhang Liao shook his head. She came to thank Liu Zhaoqing for saving her life, so why did she think of this? With Liu Zhaoqing's current reputation, he could pick any outstanding person he wanted. How could he come to see her, who almost got killed by the dragon because of negligence?

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing over there also finished chatting with Zhou Cang and others, and asked Baoer to take the four of them to rest and eat.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't even go to drink water. He just stood up and walked in front of Zhang Liao.

"I wonder... are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

After hearing this, Zhang Liao stood there in a daze and even pointed at himself.

"Eh? Me?"

Chapter 57: Heaven's Edict 2-in-1

"Wenyuan, you're joking. There are only you and me in this room. Who else could it be if not you?" Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

Then Liu Zhaoqing felt a little regretful. It seemed that he was too impatient.

But I can't blame myself for this. After all, if it were a hero like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Liu Zhaoqing would have had no idea at the beginning.

Because those awakened heroes know that they are not ordinary people and have great ambitions. How could they follow a commoner like me without any reason?

But Zhang Liao is different. Zhang Liao is still a newbie. If you don’t turn her over now, you will regret it when she awakens in the future.

After Liu Zhaoqing asked, he found that Zhang Liao did not respond for a long time.

The smile on his face froze, and he calmed down and asked calmly, "Wenyuan, is it possible... that you don't want to?"

Although this was the result he expected, after all, even if Zhang Liao was a great man, he should know that he was not ordinary, so it was normal for him to look down on him.

It was just a pity that such a person who would definitely be a big shot in the future walked past him. At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing somewhat resonated with the feeling of Liu Bei in his previous life when he saw Tian Yu and Xu Shu leaving him.

"If Wenyuan can come, I will treat him with the best treatment. Although I am not talented, I will never be vague when it comes to my own people. Don't think that I am just an empty name now, but in the future..." Liu Zhaoqing paused for a moment, still wanting to fight for it, "I will definitely have a place."

Zhang Liao remained silent.

"Wenyuan thinks I'm talking nonsense?"

"Of course not." Zhang Liao shook his head slightly. "Although Liao is a military commander, he is not stupid. After I heard about your recent deeds, I knew that your ambition was already revealed when you asked the heavens."

"And the benefactor spent all his wealth in just two days, which made the people of Pingyuan all admire him. He imitated Confucius' teaching that 'Zigong redeemed a man, and Zilu accepted a cow', which made the righteous people in Hebei respect him even more. Liao clearly saw the benefactor's wisdom and ability."

"Liao also believes that the name of the benefactor will surely be known throughout the world in the future."

Liu Zhaoqing was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Liao could see through the essence of the matter so directly and had a very clear mind.

Liu Zhaoqing was really moved by this talent of both civil and military affairs.

"Then why does Wenyuan look so... worried?" Liu Zhaoqing asked puzzledly, although he already knew the reason, because Zhang Liao only said "he will be famous throughout the world" but did not say "dominate one side".

Zhang Liao was silent for a moment, then looked at Liu Zhaoqing with a puzzled look on his face: "Liao is just...very confused. What has Liao done to deserve such high regard from the benefactor?"

this……

Liu Zhaoqing can’t say that it’s because your name is “Zhang Liao”, right?

Outside the window, the night was dim, and the few candles lit by Baoer were swaying back and forth in the cold wind blowing in from the window.

Liu Zhaoqing's shadow also swayed, as if it was just like his inner feelings at the moment.

After a moment's silence, Liu Zhaoqing looked at Zhang Liao who was sitting.

"Have you ever heard of 'The Immortal of Soldiers'?"

"A great general of Emperor Gaozu, one of the three heroes, and a peerless national talent." Zhang Liao nodded.

One of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty and a talented general, how could Zhang Liao, a county official, not know Han Xin?

"I don't need to say much about Han Xin's talent, but Wenyuan should also know that he once talked with Emperor Gaozu about his views on soldiers?" Liu Zhaoqing continued.

Zhang Liao was also aware of this story: "Emperor Gaozu asked: How many troops can I lead? Xin said: Your Majesty can only lead 100,000 troops. Emperor Gaozu asked again: How can you lead? Xin said: The more troops I have, the better..."

This is what Han Xin meant by “the more soldiers the better.”

"Yes, as a commander, the more generals and soldiers the better." Liu Zhaoqing nodded, "But now is not the early Han Dynasty, and the emperor is not Gaozu anymore."

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "The more the better, the more likely they are to become the most prominent birds in the forest, and the hunters will be eager to shoot them, unless... they are kings, princes, generals, or governors of a state."

"As Wenyuan sees, it is obvious that I am not a relative or a governor." Liu Zhaoqing smiled, somewhat frankly and somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"So, I must keep a relatively low profile and build up my prestige among the people. I must not start a war, otherwise I will be eaten by crows."

"For the same reason, I cannot be like the military genius who says 'the more the better' when it comes to generals. I should adopt the strategy of 'keep improving'."

Since Zhang Liao has already seen his ambition, and he also has a strong desire to recruit Zhang Liao, he certainly can't hide it at this time.

"Strive for excellence..." Zhang Liao pondered the word, "In other words, the benefactor does not need a large number of outstanding people?"

"Yes, although Zhou Cang, Deng Mao and others just now seem ordinary, they all have gifts that surprised me, and to me, they are more important than ordinary heroes." Liu Zhaoqing said.

From the fact that Zhang Jiao was able to draw the power of Bao'er's daughter Liu Pi and others and inject it into the Taiping Sutra, it can be seen that the original "Yellow Turban bandits" still have a special bonus to the Taiping Sutra even in this mythical late Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Zhaoqing still didn't need to discuss this matter with Zhang Liao at the moment. He continued:

"So, 'keep improving' is what I and the Yellow Turbans need to do at this stage. My prestige has risen, and what I need is the best of the best, so that I can have a place in the future struggle for hegemony."

"And Wenyuan, you are a great man among great men."

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Zhang Liao with burning eyes.

Zhang Liao really wanted to say that Liu Zhaoqing was wrong, but after thinking about it, she herself understood that she was indeed particularly outstanding among the outstanding people.

After speaking of his ambitions and explaining why he valued Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing stopped talking.

Zhou Cang and others went out without closing the door completely. At this time, at night, gusts of cold wind were blowing in from outside.

The tea in the green teacup on the small table in front of Zhang Liao had long lost its heat, but she still picked it up, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.

She didn't feel whether the tea was warm or cold, because at that moment she was making the most important choice in her life.

Liu Zhaoqing was no longer in a hurry. He knew that it was now up to Zhang Liao to make the choice.

Since she can see her own ambitions, her own abilities, and her current situation, even if she is still a nobody, her outstanding wisdom will enable her to make the most suitable judgment for her future.

After a long time, Zhang Liao finally looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"I didn't expect that the benefactor's vision is not limited to the words heaven and earth."

"I never expected that my benefactor would think so highly of me." Zhang Liao's eyes revealed an inexplicable feeling. "My benefactor is not only a man of great virtue that I have never met in my life, but also the most extraordinary man I have ever met, and the one who saved my life..."

"I am confused but secretly happy to be cared for by a benefactor."

Zhang Liao gradually shook his head, and Liu Zhaoqing's fingers moved slightly. Seeing this, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"The Liao family was originally the Nie clan of Yanmen Mayi, but they changed their surname to Zhang to avoid resentment. They had already declined for several generations before my great-grandfather, and now they are no different from the nobles and are no different from the common people."

"A man of common origin, a great man among great men, Liao may not be able to take on the title,"

"However, Liao has heard of the ancient way that the basis of all military operations and wars lies in the unity of the people, and what Engong said and did was all for the people."

Zhang Liao looked at Liu Zhaoqing and slowly raised the cold teacup. His eyes were firm, but his dark pupils showed a dazzling brilliance.

Substitute cold tea for liquor.

"If I can help you save the people..."
