Wang Lie and Bing Yuan, the two virtuous people who moved to Liaodong, made a wide range of friends, and their fame made people from all over the world willing to come to them to ask questions when they heard their names, or they were reluctant to come to visit for hundreds of miles, or even talk all night long.

Bing Yuan and Wang Lie lived outside the city after moving to Xiangping, Yanbei picked a place where not many people disturbed and was close to the city and built a wooden courtyard for them, and there was even a small river in the middle of the house of the two, which looked very elegant.

Because there are two sages who make him particularly interested, it has also become the only way for Yanbei to pass from Xiangping camp to the city every day.

Even sometimes when Yanbei went back late, riding on the road with a torch, he could still hear the high-pitched talk coming from Bingyuan's house, especially a Qingzhou man named Liu Zheng, whose voice was the loudest, and even knew through the words outside the house that he knew many military secrets that happened in the north. Yanbei likes such courageous and courageous people very much, but he has never had the opportunity to make friends.

This time, Bing Yuan introduced him to a Qingzhou man named Tai Shici, and he couldn't refuse, after all, he still wanted to know that Liu Zheng with the help of Bing Yuan.

Although Yan Bei admired and treated a talent like Bingyuan who could help him share the internal affairs of Liaodong, he now riveted his strength and planned to fight a tough battle with the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou, and he hoped to associate with a hero like Liu Zheng who knew about military affairs.

Previously, Fu Zhu had been his staff, but now Fu Zhu Gui is the main party of Liaodong, even if the state government really assigned him to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, Fu Zhu could not follow him...... Thinking that there would be less such a personal plan around him when he entered Jizhou to quell the rebellion, Yan Bei always felt a little empty in his heart.

Yan Bei took a few riders from the small road from Xiangping camp all the way to Bing Yuan's house, and when he walked outside the courtyard, he heard someone talking in the house, so he turned over and dismounted and handed over the mount to the rider and tied it to the tree, and said to the boy in the courtyard: "I am tired of reporting Mr. Bing, and I will say that Yanbei is coming." ”

Bingyuan's family is not prosperous, probably because of the poverty of the family in the early years, and then although he has a reputation but is not good at accumulating family wealth, he is now forty years old but has not yet given birth to a child, in recent years in the mountains of Yuzhou a family married, the family is only a husband and wife and two primary school children, the schoolchildren have heard the name of Yanbei flexibly, and immediately saluted and ran to the house, "Ah! General Yan is here, master, master, the general is here! ”

The name Yanbei first hit the ears of the people of the world, thinking that it was when the rebel Yanbei invaded Jizhou counties and counties, and then came to Liaodong, and it was the rebel Yanbei who defeated Meng Yi and Gongsun Zan in a row, and the soldiers under his command also called him a general. Since then, the name of General Yan has spread in Liaodong as his soldiers and horses disperse into various counties.

Besides, now, the things in Youzhou in recent years can't get around three names no matter what, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, and Yanbei.

Even though Yanbei was given the official position of Captain Wuhuan by the imperial court, people still used to call him General Yan. But that's fine, Yanbei also likes people to call him that...... This name can give him a sense of power, and he always tells everyone that Liaodong County is under his rule.

Hearing the boy's call, Bing Yuan led a person out of the room with his arm, and smiled at Yan Bei with his beard: "I really didn't expect the general to come over in the morning, and I thought I would come over in the afternoon after finishing my affairs." Ziyi, the old man will introduce you here, this is General Yan of the powerful Liaodong, the general, this is Taishi Ziyi, a person from Donglai Huang County, Qingzhou. ”

While speaking, Yan Bei's eyes lit up when he saw the person recommended by Bing Yuan, Tai Shi Ci was about the same height and age as him, twenty-three or four, with a well-trimmed beautiful beard under his chin, estimated to be seven feet seven or eight tall, with blue half-sleeves and straw sandals under his feet, looking a little forced by wealth, and the half-sleeved shirt showed his toned ape arms and bowed his hand: "In Xiadonglai Tai Shici, I have seen Captain Yan." ”

Then, when he handed it over, Yan Bei didn't pay attention and found that Tai Shici had a layer of calluses on his fingertips, which were often left by bows and arrows, and he also had a bone on his right thumb, which was bright and looked like something that was old. Coupled with the arms and body of the muscles and muscles, just one glance at Yan Bei concluded that this Tai Shi Ci was a person with good martial arts.

"Ziyi doesn't have to be polite, since he is a friend of Mr. Genju, he doesn't have to see Yan."

After Bing Yuan introduced the two to each other, he led Yan Bei in and said: "The general and Ziyi come in quickly, we can talk for a while, Ziyi shot an elk on the way to come, and the boy has been dismantled, just waiting for the general to come over in the afternoon to stew, but I don't want the general to come early." ”

"Haha, there is Lao Ziyi, and thank Mr. Guo for remembering Yan's greedy mouth." Yan Bei smiled and followed Bing Yuan into the room, sat down at the same table, and then said loudly: "Yan Mou is already honored to be able to eat at the same table with the two of you, how can he excuse himself because of other things." I'm just afraid that you think Yanbei is shallow, and I can't talk to you all night about big things! ”

Hearing Yan Bei's words, Bing Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is serious, you will never think that the general is shallow, but the general has a heavy responsibility, and he has recently been busy with affairs, so where can he have time to come here and listen to a few of us idlers talking all day long?" ”

He thought that Yanbei was just a joke, but Yanbei said very seriously: "There is nothing to do in the county, and Wuhuan also communicates and does not dare to make trouble, what else can Yan do?" It's really that the county school can't open until October, otherwise Yan will already be your protégé now...... I'm serious, I've had a few books by chance over the years, but no one has taught many truths that are obscure, and even if there are more affairs when the county school opens, Yan has to listen to it every ten days, and it is right to ask Mr. to solve Yan's doubts. ”

"It's a good thing for the general to learn from him, but it's really a bit surprising." Bing Yuan waved his hand to Yanbei to show the books placed in the room and said: "If the general wants a scroll, the indoor scroll can be taken away and read, but I really didn't expect the general to be such a studious person." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yan Bei arched his hand and thanked him, and then he said to Bing Yuan with a little emotion: "The book is better than a million dollars in Yan's heart, and it is not a secret, after knowing Mr. Yan, Yan has a better understanding of the scholar." ”

"Oh? What does the general think is a soldier? Bing Yuan nodded lightly and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Yan Bei pursed his lips and twisted his eyebrows for a moment, thinking carefully, and then said slowly: "Scholars, with knowledge and talent, can do things that others can't do, no matter what, they must be respected, even if they are arrogant and look down on others, but it doesn't hurt." But Yan can't see the arrogance of the scholar in you at all, but the frustrated gentleman said that you are a famous Confucian in the world, why is this? ”

Bing Yuan laughed softly, and said to Yan Bei seriously: "You say that you are scholars and not scholars, or that is only a small part of these people. Because not every scholar can meet the standard of a scholar. If someone's father is a scholar, so the child he gives birth to is also a scholar, but how can he be called a scholar if he does not practice moral conduct? Zigong once asked Confucius how to be a scholar, and Confucius replied to him: If you want to do things that do not disgrace yourself, and do not dishonor the mission given to you by the monarch, you can say that you are a scholar. ”

Later, Zilu also asked Confucius what it means to be a scholar. Confucius said this time that friends and brothers should be harmonious and harmonious, even if they are scholars. And Zeng Zi said: Scholars can't do without Hongyi, and there is a long way to go. Bing Yuan said, looking at Yan Bei, who was a little confused, and replied with a soft smile: "The general is thinking, the same is a scholar, why is Confucius's answer to Zigong and Zilu different, and Zengzi's taxi is different, right?" ”

Yan Bei nodded, took a breath and asked, "Why is this, please ask Mr. to explain your doubts." ”

This is because Zigong will handle government affairs and drive for the king, and Zilu is strong and easy to be domineering. And what Zeng Zi said is actually the same as Confucius...... Scholars are the guiding principles of conduct, requiring them to cultivate morality and talent, have great aspirations, and follow etiquette and virtue. Bing Yuan stroked his beard and said solemnly: "The fields and land official positions that the world sees are actually just appearances, but they have not observed how the scholars have these. And the taxi that the general asked was the way to guide people on how to become scholars. ”

Yan Bei nodded heavily, his face was still a little dazed, but it was undeniable that this was the first time in his life that he was interested in scriptures. For a long time, he only emphasized the art and did not pay attention to the Tao, thinking that only those military books and history books could allow him to learn more, but today he was shocked to find that the ladder to becoming a scholar was hidden in the scripture books that he had abandoned at a glance.

"Actually, the general doesn't have to think too much, there are three soldiers in the burrow right now."

Yan Bei looked at Bing Yuan, then turned his head to look at Tai Shici, who was kneeling beside him, and finally raised his hand and pointed at himself and asked, "There is no one else in this room, do you mean that I am also a scholar?" ”

"The old man I restrained himself with etiquette and virtue everywhere, and devoted himself to learning to teach his disciples, and considered himself a scholar." Bing Yuan nodded in reply to Yanbei, and then said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi guards the state chapter for the county, and does not hesitate to bury his name in Liaodong, and this kind of loyalty is also a scholar. As for the general, do you think that if you are not a scholar, you are not a soldier? If he is not a scholar, why should others be called a scholar? The general rode north alone in Jizhou to save Zhang Chun, and then did not hesitate to fight Meng Zhonglang and General Gongsun in Liaodong, and now he is attached to the state capital to restrain the soldiers and not offend the people...... Isn't this the above loyal to the lord of the world, the next to the people, the benefit of the world, naturally can be a soldier! ”

"Haha, Yan is also a taxi!" Yan Bei smiled happily, this was the first time he had heard others call him a scholar, and it was also in the mouth of a sage like Bing Yuan who was admired by all the frustrated scholars, and immediately applauded Dayue, and then he remembered what Bing Yuan had just said, and asked Tai Shici: "I heard that Mr. Ziyi said that Brother Ziyi guarded the state chapter for the county prince, so he avoided Liaodong, what happened?" ”
