Dongfang Jian and Zhou Yi began to chat at the crime scene, from their childhood dreams to their goals when they grew up, from literature to the art of war, from the economy to the politics of the court, and so on. One knew a lot about history from the later generations, one was born in a prestigious family, but he did not forget the sufferings of the common people, one learned a variety of things that were rare in the world and knew all kinds of knowledge, and one was knowledgeable and talented, dabbling in all kinds of schools except Confucianism. The two talked about military affairs, and one talked about military affairs from a military point of view. One explained his understanding of the military, while the other explained a politician's understanding of war from a political point of view. However, the two of them had one thing in common-military affairs were an extension of politics. This argument was proposed by Dongfang Jian. At first, Zhou Yi did not understand it, but after Dongfang Jian explained it, he agreed. Zhou Yu, who was standing at the side, was very interested in their conversation. These things touched the young Zhou Yu a lot, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise. However, even so, Zhou Yu still benefited a lot. Decades later, the successful Zhou Yu said when he talked about this experience. This conversation between the two of them let him know a lot of things that he did not understand or understand before. At the same time, it also opened a window for him to succeed. He always remembered Dongfang Jian's words. Military affairs were an extension of politics.

The more the two talked, the happier they became. They had completely forgotten about the time. Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Zhou Yu interrupted them and said,""Father, it's getting dark. Should we go back?”

Only then did the two of them remember where they were. Zhou Yi looked up at the sky and then turned back to look at the bailiffs. He saw that the bailiffs were waiting at the side, watching the two of them, not daring to come up and disturb them. Meanwhile, Zhou Yu had an aggrieved look on his face as he waited to look at the two of them.

Zhou Yi smiled at Dongfang Jiandao." I had a great time chatting with Brother Ziheng today. I didn't realize that it had already come to this."”

"This proves that we regret not meeting each other earlier," Dongfang Jian said with a smile.”

Zhou Yi laughed. Zhou Yi ordered everyone to return and invited Dongfang Jian to his house to have a candlelight chat with him. Dongfang Jian was worried that if he did not return, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and the others would be anxious. Zhou Yi then ordered the bailiffs to go to Dongfang Jian's inn and inform Lu Bu and Zhang Fei.

Dongfang Jian followed Zhou Yi back to the Zhou Mansion in Luoyang. Zhou Yi invited his wife to meet Dongfang Jian. At the same time, he told his wife about his trip to Youzhou. Madam Zhou did not object. In her opinion, no matter where she went, as long as she could be with her wife and children, it was a very happy thing.

After that, Zhou Yi had Zhou Yu become Dongfang Jian's disciple. Zhou Yi asked Dongfang Jian to give Zhou Yu a name, and Dongfang Jian said the word Gongjin without thinking. Zhou Yi asked,""What do you mean?"

Dongfang Kendo said," I just remembered a line in the Nine Chapters of the Songs of Chu, Huaisha.'I'm using this to warn Zhou Yu to be a person with pure and beautiful moral character in the future.”

Zhou Yi shouted,"Wonderful! From this sentence, you can see Ziheng's expectations for my son." Gongjin came to thank Master."

Zhou Yu knelt down and said,"Thank you, Mister."”

Dongfang Jian helped Zhou Yu up and thought to himself,'Fortunately, before I transmigrated, I was very interested in Zhou Yu's handwriting and went to check it out. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself today.' It seemed that he still hadn't reached the peak of his cultivation. He didn't know what to do when he was happy. He had to do this in the future.

After Dongfang Jian helped Zhou Yu up, he looked at him carefully and thought," I'm so happy that Zhou Yu has become my disciple. I was afraid that your Sun family would snatch him away from me. Zhou Yu won't die so early like in history. Even if I were to return to the modern world, I wouldn't feel wronged. I don't know what would happen if I told everyone that Zhou Yu is my disciple. They would definitely think that I'm crazy. At the thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh. He laughed so hard that Zhou Yu felt goosebumps all over his body.

Zhou Yi looked at Dongfang Jianxiao as if he had seen some treasure. Zhou Yi gently nudged Dongfang Jian.""Ziheng, Ziheng, what's wrong?”

Dongfang Jian came back to his senses and saw that they were all looking at him. He knew that he was distracted again, and his face could not help but turn red. Fortunately, there was no crack in the ground, or he would have crawled into it. Dongfang Jian quickly recovered and said," Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something just now, so I was a little distracted. I hope Brother Yuancheng and sister-in-law can forgive me."”

"It's nothing. I thought you were sick."”

Dongfang Jian smiled embarrassedly.

When everything was over, it was already very late. Zhou Yi invited Dongfang Jian to stay for dinner, and Dongfang Jian gladly agreed. His purpose for coming here was the father and son of the Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family had finally taken a liking to him, he would not give up halfway. He still had to continue to fool Zhou Yi and make him completely side with him. Dongfang Jian knew that convincing Zhou Yi was equivalent to convincing a large group of aristocrats, which would lay a certain condition for future hegemony. Dongfang Jian also knew that it would be difficult to get rid of the thoughts of loyalty in the minds of Zhou Yi, who was born into a noble family. However, it would not be difficult to make them have a good impression of him and trust him. After all, he came from two thousand years in the future and had a clear understanding of their thoughts and attitudes. Although he did not have any real social experience, it was not easy to fool them with his two thousand years of knowledge of modern people. Ever since Dongfang Jian came to this world, he had never looked down on anyone, nor was he so arrogant that he could look down on everyone just because he had 2,000 years more knowledge than modern people. This was because he knew that no one in the Three Kingdoms could be underestimated. What era was the Three Kingdoms? It was one of the most chaotic eras in the history of China. It was an era where there were as many fierce generals as clouds and strategists as rain. Everyone here was stronger than him. Cao Cao, Sun Shi, Liu Bei and the others were born kings. Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xun Shi, and Jia Xu were not as smart as him. Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were not as smart as him. Coming to this era was not like the invincible martial arts or the world's best wisdom as described in the books. He had nothing but an understanding of society and more than 2,000 years of knowledge. In order to win the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms, one had to have Cao Cao's ruthlessness and talent as a commander, Liu Bei's benevolence and hypocrisy, and Sun Quan's ability to know people well.

Dongfang Jian and Zhou Yi chatted until the next day. It wasn't until someone came knocking at the door that the two of them realized that they hadn't slept the entire night. However, the two of them didn't seem sleepy and were still in high spirits. Dongfang Jian left after having breakfast at the Zhou family's residence. Although Zhou Yi did not say anything when he left, Dongfang Jian could tell from the way Zhou Yi looked at him that Zhou Yi had already developed a sense of recognition for him after a night of conversation. This was more important than anything else. Zhou Yi and Qiao Xuan were representatives of the Jiangdong gentry, and they were family friends. If Zhou Yi persuaded Qiao Xuan, then the two gentry in Jiangdong would likely support him. At that time, Zhou Yi and Qiao Xuan's approval of him would be equivalent to the approval of the Jiangdong gentry. Although the Sun family would occupy Jiangdong for a long time, he could persuade the Jiangdong gentry to support him and destroy the Sun family through Zhou Yi and Qiao Xuan. Dongfang Jian knew that he was only thinking about the future. It would depend on the development of the situation. The matter of River East could not be done for the time being. It only laid a good foundation for future unification. Although it could not be done now, it could be planned now. As for how to plan, he had to discuss it with Jia Xu. After all, he was an expert in scheming.

After Dongfang Jian returned to the inn, he found that Jia Xu, Lu Bu, and Zhang Fei were not in the inn. Dongfang Jian called the inn's waiter over and asked, only to find out that the three of them had left early in the morning. As for what he was going to do, the waiter couldn't say clearly.

Dongfang Jian knew that the three of them had gone out to the stone slab to carry out his instructions. He knew that it would be a long time before they returned. In addition, he was very sleepy after not sleeping for the entire night, so he laid on the bed and pretended to sleep. Perhaps it was because he was too sleepy that his pretended sleep turned into sleep.

Dongfang Jian was sleeping soundly when he felt someone calling him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jia Xu standing respectfully at the side. Seeing that he had woken up, he said,"My lord, Xu brought someone to see you that day. I wonder if my lord will see him.”

Dongfang Jian only came back to his senses after a long time and said,""Who, who, who wants to see me?”

"Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang, the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate," Jia Xu replied.”

Dongfang Jian replied," Yes, I understand." Then, he lay on the bed again. He had just laid down when he suddenly sat up and said to Jia Xu,"Who did Wen He say was here?"

Jia Xu looked at Dongfang Jian as if he was smiling, but as a counselor, Jia Xu had always been stern and unsmiling. Then, he said with a straight face,""My lord, it's the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, Zhong Yao.”

Dongfang Jian said," Zhong Yao, is that Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang from the Yingchuan Changshe who is good at calligraphy and has his own style of calligraphy?”

Jia Xu replied," That's right. Yuan Chang is a good friend of mine. I've brought him here today to see you. I wonder if you're willing to do so?"'

Dongfang Jian shouted," Yes, why not? Wenhe, please."”

Jia Xu bowed to Dongfang Jian and walked out to invite Zhong Yao.

Dongfang Jian took advantage of the time when Jia Xu was out to think about important matters in his life. Zhong Yao character often, Yingchuan Changshe people. He was a famous calligrapher and politician during the Three Kingdoms period. The official to Taifu, Wei Wen Emperor and then celebrities Hua Xin, Wang Lang and three public. When he was young, he was recommended by Yin Xiu, the prefect of Yingchuan at that time, to be filial and honest. He became Shangshulang and served as the county magistrate of Yangling. Later, he resigned due to illness. Zhong Yao had also served as the chief of the court and the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate in the palace. He became the attendant of the emperor. During the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Zhong Yao followed Cao Cao to put down the rebellion. He offered advice and suggestions, and was deeply valued by Cao Cao. When Dong Zhuo held Emperor Xian Liu Xie hostage, Zhong Yao discussed with Han Bin, the minister of history, to rescue Emperor Xian from Chang 'an. Because Zhong Yao had repeatedly made outstanding achievements, he was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng, promoted to the minister, the minister Pushe, and was granted the title of Marquis of Dongwu Pavilion. Zhong Yao played an important role in Cao Cao's unification of the north. When Ma Teng, Han Sui and other generals relied on their strength to live in Guanzhong, Cao Cao ordered Zhong Yao to supervise as a lieutenant in the service, and finally convinced Ma Teng, Han Sui and other generals. During the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were at a stalemate. Zhong Yao sent more than 1,000 horses to Cao Cao's army in time and made great contributions to Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao's army. Therefore, Cao Cao wrote to Zhong Yao, saying,"The horse you sent was very urgent. The right pass was pacified, and the court did not have to worry about the west. In the past, Xiao He guarded Guanzhong and had enough food to build an army. It was also appropriate to praise Zhong Yao's contribution. He is good at calligraphy, learning from Cao Xi, Cai Yong and Liu Desheng, learning from others and forming his own style, especially proficient in Li and Kai. The book is like a flying swan playing in the sea, dancing crane swimming in the sky. Later generations commented that his official script was magical and eight points wonderful. He and the great calligrapher Hu Zhao were called 'Hu Fei Zhong Slim'. Together with King Xizhi of Jin, he was also known as King Zhong. On his deathbed, he taught Zihui: "I study hard and learn to use the brush. Every time I see ten thousand kinds, I paint them. They are so dedicated."

Just as Dongfang Jian was thinking, Jia Xu was leading a middle-aged man in his thirties. This man was less than seven feet tall. Although he looked tired, he was hale and hearty. Dongfang Jian knew that this man was Zhong Yao.

"I've long heard of your great name, Mr. Yuanchang," Dongfang Jian said."Today's meeting is a lifetime experience."”

It was Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang. Seeing Dongfang Jian bow to him, they said,""Envoy, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary person, and you are the role model of the Han people. The emperor praised you as the role model of the Han people.”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. "Hahaha!"

Dongfang Jian invited him to sit down." I wonder what you're here for. I've never met you before."”

"I have come to Youzhou at the invitation of Wenhe," Zhong Yao replied."I wonder if you would welcome me."”

Dongfang Jian looked at Jia Xu and thought to himself," Jia Wenhe is indeed the person who knows how to guess people's minds the best in the Three Kingdoms. He is also the person who knows how to take responsibility for his lord the best in the Three Kingdoms. It seems that he already knew that Youzhou was short of people, so he must have gone to look for people these few days." Dongfang Jian cast a grateful look at Jia Xu. Jia Xu seemed to feel something and looked up at Dongfang Jian. Dongfang Jian saw the gratification in Jia Xu's eyes the moment he looked up.

Dongfang Jian said to Zhong Yao," It's my pleasure to have Yuanchang's sword. I'm afraid my temple is too small to keep a true god like you."”

"Since I've promised Wenhe, I'll definitely go to Youzhou to help," Zhong Yao said."But I have three conditions that I hope you can agree to."”

Dongfang Jian said," Let alone three, I'll agree even if it's thirty swords.”

"I came to Youzhou only because I promised Wenhe that I would help him," Zhong Yao replied."So I'm not your retainer. I'm just a subordinate of Youzhou."”

Dongfang Jian replied," Of course. With your great talent, how could the sword dare to be your master?"”

Zhong Yao nodded and continued," Second, if I meet a wise lord or envoy in the future, you must let me go. You cannot ask me to stay."”

Dongfang Jianxin said,"If that's the case, I might as well not use you." 'I don't believe that you could leave Youzhou Province when you see Youzhou Province becoming better day by day. If you really do that, I will not let you down. If you don't work for me, I won't work for you either.' At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian's eyes shone with a chilling light, which was terrifying. Zhong Yao didn't see it, but Jia Xu did. Jia Xu knew what Dongfang Jian was thinking from his eyes. Although Zhong Yao was his good friend, he had to think about everything when he was born. If Zhong Yao was not useful, he could only kill him.

Dongfang Jian did not know what Jia Xu was thinking. He said to Zhong Yao,""If it really comes to that, then it means that I can't be accepted by Yuan Chang. I must have done something wrong. If Yuan Chang wants to leave, I won't stop him.”

" Third," Zhong Yao continued," I must know everything about you in Youzhou. Don't hide anything from me."”

Dongfang Jian replied," Alright, then everything in Youzhou will be open to Yuanchang.”Although he said that, he was thinking in his heart," If I let you see it, you will definitely see it. If I don't let you see it, you can forget about seeing it for the rest of your life.

Zhong Yao didn't know what Dongfang Jian was thinking, but when he saw Dongfang Jian agree to his requests, he was still very touched, even though he didn't know if it was true or not. After all, Dongfang Jian's attitude of respecting the wise and serving the common was very touching.

Jia Xu watched Dongfang Jian's performance from the side. Although he had already guessed part of Dongfang Jian's thoughts, he was still very touched by his desire for talent and his behavior of treating the wise and serving the common people. After all, not everyone could do this.

Dongfang Jian and Zhong Yao chatted for a while, then Zhong Yao stood up and left to make preparations. After Zhong Yao left. Dongfang Jianfang said to Jia Xu," Wenhe has really worked hard these few days. Jian, here is a toast to Wenhe with tea in place of wine."”After saying that, he personally poured a cup of tea for Jia Xu and placed it in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu hurriedly took it and bowed." What kind of virtue and ability do I have to trouble the lord to personally pour the tea? I'm so grateful."”After saying that, Dongfang Jian bowed.

"Wen He, you don't have to be so polite. Jian has no talent and no virtue. It is Jian's fault for troubling Wen He these few days.”Dongfang Jian said emotionally.

Seeing that Jia Xu still wanted to say something, Dongfang Jian stopped him and said,""Today, Jian has something to discuss with Wen He.”As she spoke, she told him her thoughts about Zhou Yi. "What do you think I should do to perfect this plan?"”

When Jia Xu heard this, he stood up and bowed deeply to Dongfang Jian.""I know that I am not much better than you in terms of wisdom, but today, my lord has enlightened me. I can at most see a few years into the future, but my lord has seen more than ten years into the future.”

Dongfang Jian said," Wenhe is overpraising me. The sword is just a preparation for the future. It is still too early to say whether everything will succeed."”

Jia Xu said,"My lord is right. The general trend of the world is not clear yet. It is only right for my lord to make preparations early." What Xu should do was to supplement the lord.”

As he spoke, he added his own opinion. Dongfang Jian praised in his heart, As expected of a first-class strategist of the three kingdoms.
