Sima Yi replied, "my Lord, I know one person in a humble position, and I have outstanding talent and learning, which is enough to be the prefect of Hanoi."
Sure enough, Sima Yi is a recommended talent.
Zhang Xiu praised this and asked, "who do you recommend to be the prefect of Hanoi?"
Sima Yi said: "Yingchuan Huzhao!"
Zhang Xiu's eyebrows rose and her heart was clear. On her handsome cheek, she joked and said, "as far as I know, Hu Zhao is your teacher. Is it selfish of you to recommend Hu Zhao? "
Sima Yi is used to observing words and colors, and has excellent eyesight. As soon as she sees Zhang Xiu's expression, she knows that Zhang Xiu is not only a joke, but also a test.
To recommend people, we must convince them.
There has to be a good reason.
Sima Yi laughed and said, "I'll tell you back. Although Hu Zhao is a humble teacher, he doesn't avoid his relatives. There are two reasons for recommending a teacher in a humble position. "
Zhang xiudao said, "tell me!"
Sima Yi replied: "the first reason is that when the teacher was young, he once served as the magistrate of a county. He managed the local government for a year, and he managed the local government in a big way
"It's the teacher's ability."
"With the ability of a teacher, it's no problem to be the prefect of a county."
"The second reason is that teachers make a lot of friends. He and Wang Yi, the present governor of Hedong, are close friends. When the teacher became the prefect of Hanoi, he could make an envoy to Hedong for the Lord to persuade Wang Yi to surrender. "
Sima Yi said with great eloquence: "the Lord, as the commander of Sili, now controls the four counties of youfufeng, Jingzhao, Hongnong and Hanoi, but there are Hedong and zuofengyi."
"Hedong county is a very important place connecting Bingzhou to the north."
"If you take Hedong, you will only have Zuo Fengyi, who is the last one. That's nothing to worry about."
"Wang Yi's ability is also quite outstanding. To recruit this man, there is another talent for the Lord. "
Sima Yi said, "this is what I have to worry about in my humble position. Please make a decision."
Zhang xiudao said: "it's reasonable and well founded. But as far as I know, Hu Zhao has always been idle, not like officialdom, living in seclusion in the countryside all the year round, not admiring fame and wealth. It's not easy to ask him to be an official. "
Sima Yi was shocked.
He was surprised at Zhang Xiu's intelligence, and even Hu Zhao's detailed information was clear.
You know, Hu Zhao is a hermit.
In general, few people know Hu Zhao's situation unless someone recommends him. Zhang Xiu is young and has never met Hu Zhao, but she is surprised not only to know Hu Zhao, but also to know Hu Zhao's character and situation.
Sima Yi took a deep breath, suppressed her surprise, and said: "although the master doesn't admire fame and wealth, as long as the master personally invites him, with the master's eloquence, he can make the teacher come out of the mountain."
After a pause, Sima Yi said, "my Lord is polite to the virtuous and the corporal. There are virtuous talents left in the countryside. Do you have the heart to leave them?"
When Zhang Xiu heard this, she began to laugh. Sima Yi really broke her heart for Hu Zhao.
However, Zhang Xiu did know Hu Zhao.
Hu Zhao, whose name is Kong Ming.
This man is the same as Zhuge Liang. Although he is a hermit, he has outstanding talent.
Hu Zhao is good at calligraphy.
Hu Zhao's official script is elegant, bold and majestic. At that time, Zhong Yao was good at small regular script and was a great calligrapher. Each of them has his own strong points, so there is a saying that Zhong is small and Hu is bold and unconstrained.
As for Hu Zhao's ability to govern, there are few historical records.
But Hu Zhao, no matter Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, had been conquered, hoping to get hu Zhao's effect.
Hu Zhao refused.
Hu Zhao, in particular, was not like an ordinary hermit. He had a stiff temper, and he was tactful. When Cao Cao conquered Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao didn't directly refuse. Instead, he went to Xu Du in person and told Cao Cao why he didn't want to be an official.
Cao Cao was a man of firm mind, but he was convinced by Hu Zhao, and he respected Hu Zhao and let Hu Zhao go.
We can see Hu Zhao's ability.
Not an ordinary person.
Zhang Xiu asked, "where does Hu Zhao live today?"
Sima Yi was so happy that she immediately replied, "my Lord, the teacher is just outside huaixian. In the early years, I went to school with my teacher. Later, I left my teacher and came home. "
"Because the teacher's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know where the teacher lives. But when I was in the city, I found my former brothers, so I knew where the teacher lived. "
Sima Yi said: "the place where the teacher lives in seclusion is Yubo pool ten miles northwest of the city."
Zhang Xiu said: "since you know it, you should go. You go to clean up immediately, and follow me to visit
"Here it is
Sima Yi responded with joy.
Zhang Xiu is called to Zhang jaw, said to work out of the city, and then put on a white shirt. He wore a long crown, a white shirt with broad collar and a fur cloak, which made him handsome.
After Zhang Xiu dressed up, she hesitated when she prepared the gift.A visit is a gift.
Gifts are crucial.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu made a decision in her heart, and let people prepare a pile of rice paper and a box of anthracite.
The coal was prepared by the army.
They were all dug out in Luyang county last year and stored after all renovation.
All the charcoal blocks are clean and smokeless.
This is the best charcoal.
Zhang Xiu takes the prepared gift and goes out of the city with Sima Yi. A group of more than ten people went straight to Yubo pool in the northwest.
Yubo pool is a lake.
The area of the lake is not large. It is only about three li in radius, with rippling blue waves. There are green mountains and green waters, and some green bamboos. The scenery is very good.
It doesn't take long to ride for more than ten miles.
Zhang Xiu and his party arrived and saw the beautiful landscape. Beside the mountains and rivers, a house stands here. There is only one house nearby, with a quiet environment.
Hu Zhao lived here.
In addition to a few of Hu Zhaohe's followers.
When the party arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Sima Yi couldn't wait to turn over and dismount. She came to the gate and knocked on the door ring.
Soon the door opened.
A 14-year-old boy opened the door. He was pretty and dressed in coarse linen. He was Hu Zhao's schoolboy. When he saw Sima Yi, he arched his hand and said, "who are you looking for?"
When Sima Yi was studying under Hu Zhao's family, the schoolboy was not there.
So I didn't know Sima Yi.
Sima Yi said, "go and tell me that Zhang Xiu, the commander of Sili school, has come to visit. Sima Yi, an unworthy disciple, asked to see his mentor. "
"Ah
The book boy exclaimed and turned to inform.
Zhang Xiu is so hot.
In the whole Sili area, there is no one who does not know Zhang Xiu. As soon as the book boy heard Zhang Xiu's name, he was startled and quickly passed it on. A moment later, a middle-aged scholar strode out.
He was tall and thin, with bright eyes and elegant demeanor.
This person is Hu Zhao.
When he saw Zhang Xiu, he glanced at Sima Yi. His eyes fell on Zhang Xiu again. He folded his hands and said, "Hu Zhao, a villager in the mountains, meet general Zhang."
Hu Zhao lived in seclusion in Huai county and knew Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu immediately arched her hand back and said with a smile, "Mr. Kong Ming is very polite."
Hu Zhao waved his hand and said, "General Zhang, please!"
"Please
Zhang Xiu smiles.
As Hu Zhao walked along, he said, "the humble house is very simple. It makes general Zhang laugh."
Zhang Xiu looked around and said: "the mountain is not high. If there is an immortal, it will be named. The water is not deep, the dragon is the soul. This is a humble house, but I am Dexin. Mr. Kongming's residence is neither luxurious nor magnificent, but all the people who come and go here are great Confucianists. Why is it so humble? "
When Hu Zhao heard this, he was shocked.
Zhang Xiu is a brave man. When she opens her mouth, she shows her bearing and talent, which makes Hu Zhao respect her heart.
It's not easy!
Zhang Xiu is not simple!
This is Hu Zhao's first impression.
Hu Zhao's face changed slightly. He said modestly, "General Zhang, I'm just a humble abode. Where can I deserve such praise?"
Zhang xiudao said, "Mr. Kong Ming is very kind."
