Xiangyang, because it is located in the sun of Xiangshui and gets its name, the Han River passes through the city, and the Xiangyang and Fancheng on the north and south banks face each other across the river.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty belonged to the southern county of Jingzhou. Wang Mangshi once changed his name to "Xiangyang". When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty restored its original name, it still belonged to the southern county of Jingzhou.

The Jingzhou Thorn History Department was originally located in Hanshou County, Wuling, but during the early peace period of Emperor Xian, in view of the unsettled war in Jingnan, there were great hidden dangers in Hanshou, and Liu Biao, the Thorn History of Jingzhou, moved to Xiangyang City to govern.

Because of its geographical location, Xiangyang holds the south bank of the Han River and has control over the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Jingzhou navy dominates the Yangtze River, which has always been a nightmare for the Sun family in Jiangdong.

The surrounding area is full of war, but Jingzhou is calm, and for a time it has become a peaceful paradise, and the surrounding people have come to vote, including some famous families.

During his stay in Jingzhou, Liu Biao Enwei wrote and lured in a good way, so that thousands of miles were cleared and the people were satisfied. He also opened a school, loved the people and raised scholars, and calmly protected himself. Yuan Shao, close to Zhang Xiu, thousands of miles of territory, with more than 100,000 armor, called Jingxiang, and became one of the most powerful princes in the Central Plains.

There is a recruitment hall in Xiangyang City, which was built by Liu Biao in order to recruit talents from all over the world.

Since its establishment, it has also attracted a lot of celebrities, including Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, Nanyang Pang Degong and celebrities around Jingxiang.

But Liu Biao likes to sit and talk about it, talk rhetorically, and is not very pragmatic, and the establishment of the recruitment hall is just to sell fame and reputation, not really want to recruit talents. Coupled with the fact that this person is lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, and is cautious, some talented people will be persecuted if they are not careful.

Therefore, although there are many talents who have fled from Jingzhou, but few of them have been reused, and many celebrities have seen through the nature of Liu Biao's fame and reputation, so they have escaped from the world, drinking and chatting, and nothing else.

The carriage creaked to a halt at the Recruiting Hall, and a young scribe stepped down and surveyed the surroundings.

"This is the Recruiting Hall, it's so lively!"

Seeing the crowd surging outside the door, the visitor let out a sigh of emotion. This person is Guo Jia, who has just arrived in Xiangyang from Yuzhou.

"Brother Tai is also from out of town, right?"

The reader on the side smiled: "This is the recruitment hall in Xiangyang." Every day, the queue here for interviews is more lively than the market. ”

Oh!

Hearing this, Guo Jia asked strangely: "Are there so many scribes in Xiangyang who come to vote every day?" ”

Brother Tai misunderstood!

The man smiled slightly and said: "Xiangyang Zhaoxian Hall is a good place, as long as you pass the assessment inside, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, there will be a lot of money every month, and there will be a carriage to send you when you go out, and Xiangyang scholars want to come in when they squeeze their heads." ”

I see!

Guo Jia nodded.

It is good to say that Liu Biao is mediocre and that he sells his reputation and reputation, but the recruitment hall he set up is indeed a great benefit to those shy scholars and celebrities.

Because here is not only to eat, live, go out, but also to ride in a carriage.

Therefore, the Zhaoxian Hall in Xiangyang also received a large number of scribes. Most of them are broken people who fled from the surrounding area, thanks to the Zhaoxian Pavilion for giving them a place to settle down.

Of course, it is not so easy to eat and live for nothing, you must be educated, at least proficient in the subset of scriptures and history, and do not raise idlers anywhere.

Rao is like this, and there are still a large number of foreign scholars flocking to the recruitment hall.

People came and went, and no one paid much attention to Guo Jia, because his face had changed greatly at this moment.

Through deliberate exposure, Guo Jia's originally fair skin has become dark, coupled with the deliberately beard and long bangs, even acquaintances may not be able to recognize it.

"I don't know my brother's name?"

The man asked suddenly.

It's boring to be able to queue up here, and it's good to get to know a few more people.

"Under the surname Guo, the single name is a river character, the word Fengyi, Yingchuan people's name."

This is Guo Jia's identity that has been arranged a long time ago.

After Guo Jia ascended to the lord of Yunzhou, many people from the Guo family in Yingchuan defected to Yunzhou, Guo He is his brother, about the same age as Guo Jia, and he just died of illness in Yunzhou not long ago.

Guo He is low-key, even Yingchuan knows not many people know him.

Guo Jia's identity is also appropriate.

Yingchuan?

Hearing this, the man was in awe.

If you want to say that the hometown of celebrities in the world, the first one is Yingchuan, which is close to the imperial capital and gathers celebrities. If it wasn't destroyed in the war, it wouldn't have been Xiangyang's turn to rise.

"It turned out to be Brother Fengyi, Cui Jun in Xia Boling, and the word is Pingzhou."

The visitor laughed.

Cui Zhouping!

Hearing this name, Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came to Xiangyang, I met Cui Zhouping, one of the four friends of Zhuge .

Cui Jun, the word Zhouping, that is, Cui Zhouping: Pan Shenglie, the Later Han Dynasty Captain, the City Gate Captain. Shengjun, the word Zhouping, Xihe Taishou. Boling Anping people. The son of Taiwei Cui Lie, and the younger brother of Yilang Cui Jun. Jun Shao befriended heroes, had a name, and successively served as the general of the tiger and the Taishou of the West River.

At the beginning of the emperor's dedication, Jun and Yuan Shaoju raised troops in Shandong to fight Dong Zhuo. Later, he was kind to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others, and Shi Guangyuan (Mingtao), Meng Gongwei (Mingjian), and Xu Yuanzhi (Mingshu) were "Zhuge Four Friends".

Of course, because Guo Jia accepted Xu Shu early, he has now become the mainstay of Yunzhou, and Zhuge Siyou has now become Sanyou.

can be looked at by Zhuge Liang, this Cui Zhouping is not an ordinary person.

In the later historical process, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao all took refuge in Cao Cao and became talents under Cao Cao. Only this Cui Zhouping has no follow-up. But his later generations were the famous Bolingtri Bungalow.

That is, the Cui family, one of the five wangs and seven surnames, is the first wealthy family in the world and the first wang family in the north.

It is recorded that he died of illness and did not show his talents, which is a pity.

Thinking of this, Guo Jiadeng had the intention of making friends.

"It turned out to be the descendant of Captain Cui, and the younger brother has long admired his name."

Hearing Guo Jia mention his Lao Tzu, Cui Zhouping's face was slightly embarrassed.

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

Because his father Cui Lie spent money to buy a lieutenant, Cui Zhouping was very disgusted with his father's behavior, saying that his father was full of copper smell, and his father Cui Lie raised a stick to beat him, scolding Cui Zhouping for being an unfilial son, Cui Zhouping was a person who was willing to be beaten obediently, and used the allusion of Shun serving his father to confront Cui Lie while running, and the relationship between Cui Zhouping and his father Cui Lie has become very bad since this incident.

"If it's getting late today, why don't we have a drink?"

Guo Jia took the lead in sending out the invitation.

This Cui Zhouping is also a talent, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to use it in Yunzhou.

Very good!

Cui Zhouping also had a good impression of Guo Jia, and responded without hesitation.

So, the two boarded the carriage and came to Zuiyue Building, the largest restaurant in Xiangyang.
