Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288 The meeting of the wind and clouds
Liu He took Guo Jia to look for Liu Ye. As soon as he left the hall, he saw someone fighting in the martial arts arena. The two surrounded a white-haired old man with swords and guns shining coldly. The onlookers applauded one after another.

"How could two people bully an old man?"

Liu He frowned slightly and arrived at the martial arts arena first. Dian Wei was about to step forward, but was stopped by Liu He to see what was going on.

One of the besieging men was tall, with a black face and beard, and wielded a Pofengdao, while the other was tall and thin, wielding a sword.

Looking at the old man again, he has gray beard and hair, long eyebrows reaching into his temples, and a goatee beard, a sword is as proficient in his hand as a spirit snake, and his moves are extremely fast, which looks dazzling.

Liu He used to practice swordsmanship with Tong Yuan, just to protect himself, and thought that his martial arts were not bad. Now seeing this man's swordsmanship, he suddenly felt that there were mountains beyond the mountains, and he was dumbfounded.

Han Long praised in a low voice at the side: "Unexpectedly, this person's swordsmanship is so superb that he can use his arms and fingers to do whatever he wants."

Liu He also nodded slightly. This man looked to be in his sixtieth year, but his body skills were very dexterous, and he did not show any signs of aging in his movements. As far as sword skills were concerned, this man might still be above Tong Yuan.

When I was observing, I saw that the old man was drinking heavily, and suddenly the light of his sword rose sharply. Amidst a series of sounds of gold and iron, the two people screamed and retreated. face pain.

The old man lifted the sword upside down, cupped his fists and said, "I've accepted it!"

The big man holding the knife was out of breath, cupped his fists and said: "The swordsman really lives up to his reputation, I have learned the lesson."

"He...he is Wang Yue!" Han Long suddenly understood, quickly entered the field, clasped his fists and said: "May I ask, are you the hero Wang?"

The old man turned his head, nodded and said: "I am Wang Yue."

"It really is you!" Han Long said pleasantly, "Two years ago, I went down to Luoyang to visit my seniors, but there was no news. I didn't want to go to Fan Yang."

Wang Yue returned the sword to its sheath, sized up Han Long, clasped his fists and asked, "Are you the one appointed by General Liu?"

"Exactly!" Han Long nodded repeatedly, pointed to Liu He in the crowd and said, "General Liu is here."

Liu He also knew Wang Yue's identity at this time, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior's name, my teacher has mentioned it many times, and I am honored to meet you today. It really is old and strong."

"Thanks to the general's concern!" Wang Yue had already inquired about Liu He's identity, and sighed with his fists folded: "Time does not forgive people, and they have long lost the courage they used to be!"

Liu He said with a smile: "Senior entered Helan Mountain with a horse, and returned alone with the head of the leader of the Qiang tribe. No one dared to take the lead. How magnificent is it?"

"It's okay not to mention the past!" Wang Yue waved his hand and sighed: "I happened to go to South Vietnam for business before. When I returned to Luoyang in May, I heard someone said that the general sent people to look for it. It happened that there was a rumor about the Golden Terrace in the Central Plains, so I came here from the north to observe, and I am honored to see this grand event, the general is a young hero!"

While he was talking, Guo Jia also came over with a scribe, with a heroic spirit between his brows, a mustache on his lips, and a dusty face, followed by the one who had just been defeated by Wang Yue. two people.

The man saluted first and said: "Liu Ye has seen the Lord."

Liu He said with a smile: "Brother has traveled thousands of miles from Huainan. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you at a distance."

Liu Ye clasped his fists and said, "It's not your fault, it's because I didn't come to see you first, I'm ashamed!"

Guo Jia laughed and said: "You two are brothers of your own family, so you don't have to be so polite?"

Liu Ye nodded slightly, then clasped his fists towards Wang Yue and said, "You two followers don't know the heights of the sky, so I hope you won't be surprised if you provoke me."

"It's just a competition!" Wang Yue stroked his beard and smiled: "People in the green forest have always been like this. These two are also good players, so let's accept it."

Liu He laughed and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. If we meet today, it is fate. Let's talk in the back hall."

Everyone nodded and went to the back hall together. Liu He asked Han Long to find someone to hold a new banquet to clean up the dust for Liu Ye and Wang Yue.

On the way, Liu Ye introduced the two men. It turned out that they were also heroes of Yangzhou. The name of the sword wielder was Zhang Duo, and the sword wielder was Xu Qian.

These two men and Zheng Bao once dominated Huainan and supported their own troops. They were on the same side. Liu Ye used a trick to kill Zheng Bao. He rode to the gate of Zheng Bao's camp and publicly stated the blessings and disadvantages. Zhang Duo and Xu Qian were moved by them and led them. Everyone welcomed Liu Ye.

Everyone originally wanted to elect Liu Ye as the new leader, but Liu Ye thought that he was from the royal family and did not want to fall into the trap of being a bandit. He happened to get a letter from Guo Jia, so he dismissed the bandits and selected [-] elites to go north to Fan Yang together.

The matter of the Golden Terrace had been publicized in the "Yanjing Magazine" as early as May. Liu Ye never revealed his identity and came to see Liu He. He just wanted to see what the Golden Terrace was like. Unexpectedly, it was not only a grand scene, but also ingenious. , looked at Liu He differently.

In the contest just now, it was precisely because Wang Yue sighed deeply when he saw the sentence "gold always shines", and was ridiculed by Zhang Duo for being old and incompetent, so there was a contest.

Everyone came to the back hall and drank and chatted. Liu He said with a smile: "The Golden Platform is to recruit heroes from all over the world, and knight-errant heroes are also one of them. I am worried that it is difficult to control the people in the green forest. Hero Wang is here to help me." Trouble in my heart."

Wang Yue was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "If the general is useful, I am willing to serve this old man."

Although he was well-known as a master in the capital, because he was born in a green forest, he was never valued by the aristocratic family. In the end, he opened a martial arts gym in Luoyang to make a living. He was still in the imperial capital, but he still couldn't get a job.

Seeing that Emperor Ling was seriously ill and debauched, knowing that there was no hope of becoming an official, he left for Nanyue disheartened. When he came back, he heard that Liu He had sent someone to invite him, so he happily rushed to Fan Yang.

Liu He said with a smile: "Senior once served as Huben in Luoyang, why not become General Huben and train heroic guards. I will be of great use in the future."

Wang Yue was overjoyed, stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you so much for your trust."

Liu He signaled Wang Yue to sit down, and said: "As long as the disciples trained by the seniors, their meritorious service will be counted as seniors. With this accumulation, the more talents there are, the greater the merits of the seniors. Isn't it wonderful?"

Wang Yue's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and said: "This method is novel, it can cultivate talents for the princes, and serve the court. I will definitely do my best."

Liu Ye said with a smile from the side: "The story of the Golden Terrace has already spread throughout the Central Plains, and now famous heroes, heroes and celebrities have all come here after hearing the news, traveling thousands of miles to attend the grand event, it can be called a rare event, but many people are still waiting and watching , Your Majesty should make arrangements early."

"I have ordered people to register and screen in each hall." Liu He nodded slightly, looked at Wang Yue and said, "As for the people in the green forest, we will set up a chivalrous hall tomorrow. We will first select people with lofty ideals, and then investigate their backgrounds before hiring them based on their merits." , I don’t know how many people the senior needs?”

Wang Yue pondered and said: "I still have an apprentice named Shi A, who can help me from the side, and two scribes are enough."

Liu Ye said: "Zhang Duo and Xu Qian were born in the green forest, and they have nowhere to show their abilities with me. Why don't we ask Daxia Wang to discipline them on their behalf. They can be said to have their place in the Chivalry Hall."

Zhang Duo and Xu Qian had admired Wang Yue for a long time, knowing that Liu Ye would definitely be of great use to him, and it would be useless for them to continue to follow, so they gladly obeyed this arrangement.
