It could be seen that the old madam was very welcoming of Xia Cheng and the others 'visit.
Taishi Ci was specially asked to prepare a table of dishes, and he even invited everyone to stay.
At night, after the old woman rested, Xia Cheng ordered his subordinates to guard the Taishi Family. Then, he went to Taishi Ci alone and prepared to persuade the general he liked.
"Ziyi, you used to be an official in Donglai Prefecture and have been in Liaodong for a few years. You are skilled in archery and riding, familiar with military affairs, and have the demeanor of a general.”
" The world is in chaos and heroes are rising. My master Liu Xuande is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. He also has the intention to help the Han Dynasty. Since Ziyi has the ability, why don't you join him and plan a great plan with us?”
" This…" Taishi Ci pondered for a while and said,""Thank you for your love, sir. I should have risked my life to serve you. But a month ago, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, sent a letter to summon me. Liu Yao and I were from the same county. I dared not refuse to go. Please forgive me.”
On this trip to the North Sea, Taishi Ci had seen the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were under Liu Bei, and had personally experienced the wisdom of Xia Cheng.
However, it would not be easy for him to join Liu Bei.
It couldn't be helped. Not to mention Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, even Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of the North Sea, was far behind Liu Bei.
To be even more exaggerated, in terms of background, experience, fame, prestige, strength, and status, Liu Bei was not even worth mentioning among the dukes.
In other words, Liu Bei Corporation did not have much of an attraction to external elites.
Moreover, even at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was still the strength of the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, people at this time generally valued righteousness over profit.
Even though many of the higher-level officials had been corrupted ever since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling.
In the end, even the salaries of high officials like the three dukes and nine chancellors could be publicly sold at a price, completely lowering the prestige of the court.
However, among the people at the bottom, those heroes valued morality and integrity more.
"I know that Ziyi wants to go to Yangzhou's Mu Liu Yao and join him. At the same time, he wants a chance to settle down. But Ziyi, you don't know that although Liu Yao is famous, he values his family background.”
"Even if you go, you will at most be a personal guard. How can you show your strengths?”
"Moreover, Yangzhou is remote and is in a chaotic time. If something happens to your mother in Donglai, will Ziyi be able to return in time?”
As for Taishi Ci, Xia Cheng chose to guide him patiently. He first followed the thoughts that had already formed in Taishi Ci's mind, then magnified them. Through the little things, he magnified them until they were enough to cover up some insignificant problems.
At the same time, they had intentionally or unintentionally pulled out Liu Bei's biggest signboard, which was also the signboard that they would always carry out when recruiting talents from all over the world in the future-the orthodox Han Dynasty!
It had to be said that although fame didn't seem important, it was actually very useful.
Some people could shake the world with a wave of their arms and the world would respond.
Some people died without even hearing his name.
This was the effect of fame.
Finally, he raised his head to look at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said in a low voice,""The world is vast, the four seas are home, Ziyi... In this chaotic world, a real man should carry a three-foot sword and make a great contribution!”
Boom!
The last sentence was like a thunderbolt that struck Taishi Ci's heart!
Like the last straw, Taishi Ci's hesitation was dispelled.
"Sir's words are like a sudden enlightenment. I am not talented, but I am willing to serve you!”
"I believe that when the lord sees Ziyi come to surrender, he will be extremely happy.”
…
The next morning.
Early in the morning, Xia Cheng respectfully waited for the old lady.
"Old Furen, other than paying a visit to you, I also wanted to help my master recruit a great general like Ziyi.”
"So…next, I would like to ask Old Madam to move with us to Beihai first. After Xu Prefecture has settled down, we will move to Xu Prefecture!”
"Why is this?" The old woman hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Let Old Furen know that the current Qingzhou governor, Tian Kai, is a general under General Gongsun Zan.”
"Right now, the conflict between Yuan Shao and General Gongsun Zan is becoming more and more frequent.”
"Qingzhou is about to become a battleground. If we leave Old Furen in Donglai without anyone to take care of her, we will not be at ease.”
"Let's not talk about the war for now. If there's an accident, it's not something to worry about.”
"I see. Mr. Xia, I understand what you mean.”The old woman nodded.
"Although I don't know the name of that Duke Xuande, he was able to help the North Sea and save Duchang. He also has a talented person like you to assist him.”
"I understand Ziyi's personality very well. He has always wanted to go on the battlefield and make contributions.”
"I heard that Liu Yao from Yangzhou sent him a letter and he also has the intention to go.”
"But that Liu Yangzhou might not like Ziyi. Although I want to persuade him, I can't let Ziyi suffer.”
"Now that my son has met a wise master, I will not drag him down. I will leave with you later.”
