Chapter 460 Meeting a Group of Sages on the Road
On the official road, Shang Ji and his party walked unhurriedly. Although the five hundred black-armored mysterious knights were not many in number, they had extraordinary fighting power, and their armor was bright and terrifying. Even though banditry is everywhere in Jizhou now, no thief dares to provoke this group of people.
Xun Yu was on the road while reading a book, and his horse Liuhuo was full of spirituality. He didn't need Xun Yu's control at all, and he walked steadily on the official road.
Zhao Yundian and Wei were discussing martial arts issues. Several top historical military generals confirmed what they had learned and made progress together. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Honorable driver, please wait a moment!"
Everyone was walking when they suddenly heard a loud shout.
Shang Ji followed the prestige, but saw a group of scribes dressed as scholars blocking the road.
Shang Ji had seen them a long time ago, but he didn't pay much attention at first.
The official road is not his own, and he is not the only one who can walk. As long as it does not affect the march of the army, Shang Ji will not interfere with other pedestrians on the official road.
But here is in the hinterland, where the culture is at its peak, and it is not uncommon for scholars to come in groups of three or four, and Shang Ji didn't care. But this group of people suddenly blocked his way, which made Shang Ji a little curious. He waved his hand to signal Guo Biao to come forward and ask.
"Who are you waiting for? Why are you blocking the way of the army?" Guo Biaoce immediately stepped forward and asked in a cold voice.
"May I ask, are you the lord of Yongninghou, Pingzhou Mu, and Duliao General Shanggong?" A leading scholar bowed and asked Guo Biao.
"That's right, it's my general!" Seeing this person's respectful attitude, Guo Biao's tone became a lot more friendly: "You are looking for my general, but is there something wrong?"
"Chen Ang, a scholar from Yingchuan, brought thirteen classmates to visit Shanggong, and I beg Shanggong to meet you."
The scholar was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed and shouted.
Shang Ji became even more curious now, and stepped forward immediately: "This general is Shang Ji, why are you looking for me?"
"I'll meet Shang Gong!"
The scholars saluted in unison, and then they saw a scholar named Chen Ang blushing and said: "Shang Gongrong, we are people from Chenliu, I have heard of Shang Gong's name, I admire Shang Gong's benevolence, and I am here to serve you. Please don't give up on Shang Gong!"
"Please don't abandon him, Mr. Shang!" More than a dozen scholars behind him also said in unison.
"Ding, congratulations to player Shang Ji, first-rate scribe Chen Ang, first-rate scribe Jianrong, first-rate scribe Zheng Zhong, first-rate scribe Tong Zhang, first-rate scribe Korean, first-rate scribe Zhou Mi, second-rate scribe Xin Nuo, second-rate scribe Li Xiu...etc. A scribe wants to recognize you as Lord, may I ask if you accept it?"
Hearing the system prompt, Shang Ji froze on the spot, what's going on? Pie in the sky?
Chen Ang? Shang Ji can be sure that there is no such a historical general in the Three Kingdoms, but he has super-class strength. For non-historical generals, super class is almost the upper limit of the growth of ordinary aborigines. And super-class scribes are several times rarer than super-class generals!
"Brother Erzhan, why are you here?"
Before Shang Ji could make a choice, Xun Yu's doubtful voice came from his ear.
"Brother Wen Ruo? Aren't you serving as the palace guard in Tiandu?" Chen Ang stared wide-eyed and looked at Xun Yu who was beside Shang Ji in surprise. Do you work for the merchant?"
Xun Yu smiled, pointed at Shang Ji and said, "Thanks to Shang Gong for not giving up, I hired Yu to work in Pingzhou. Now I am about to go to Pingzhou, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Erzhan here!"
"What? Wen Ruo, do you know this gentleman?" Shang Ji asked Xun Yu with some doubts.
"Shanggong Mingjian, I was studying in Yingchuan, and I was fortunate to be a classmate with Brother Wen Ruo for a year." Before Xun Yu could speak, Chen Ang took the initiative to speak.
Shang Ji got off his horse, looked at Chen Ang and said with a smile: "Since we are Wen Ruo's old friend, you might as well stop and talk about the old days. There is a gazebo in front of you, so please come forward and talk about it!"
"Shang Gong has an order, I dare not disobey!" Chen Ang bowed and saluted.
Shang Ji ordered the army to rest on the spot, took Zhao Yun, Xun Yu and other confidants and a group of scholars into the pavilion.
After some simple understanding, Shang Ji finally understood the whole story.
As Chen Ang said, they are all from Chenliu, but they are studying in Yingchuan Academy next door, and they are classmates with Xun Yu.
As a legendary super school in the late Han Dynasty, Yingchuan Academy gave birth to a large number of top historical scholars such as Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Guo Jia, etc. At the same time, there are naturally more non-historical famous generals.
And Chen Ang and the thirteen scholars present here are part of them, and Chen Ang is the best among them.
The end of the Han Dynasty was an era that focused on family status. It may take more than ten years to reach the middle stage of the feudal lords' hegemony.
But the current general environment is still very unfriendly to the children of poor families. Isn't Xi Zhicai even pushed out to live in seclusion?
Chen Ang and the others are children from poor families. Although they are talented and knowledgeable, they are not popular. Moreover, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no advanced talent selection mechanism such as the imperial examination. If you want to be an official, you must be recommended by someone. Unless a child from a poor family is talented and appreciated by Bole, the chance of becoming an official is very slim.
Uh, it's not quite right to say that, as if these scribes took the initiative to go to the players, they must be regarded as honored guests. But at this time, the contempt chain in Fenghuo is like this: the gentry despise the powerful, the powerful despise the poor, the humble despise the strangers, and the strangers hate everyone!
However, Shang Ji, Pingzhou Mu, was obviously not among the normal aliens, and successfully jumped out of the chain of contempt.
In order to serve the country, and of course more to have a good background, Shang Ji became an important object of refuge for the poor.
However, Shang Ji's lofty personal reputation is also an important reason for this group of people to take the initiative to contribute. Generosity, benevolence, bravery, courteous corporal, and loving the people like a son are all Shang Ji's current labels.
After working so hard for so long, Shang Ji's hard work finally paid off, and initially he had the effect that the talents who reported their names would be able to make people take the initiative to defect, although these talents were not historical generals.
After questioning, Shang Ji discovered that the hunters who had helped him before had helped him a lot.
Shang Ji paid out all the rewards as promised, and also gave them tiger meat, and sent soldiers to escort them home. These actions moved the hunters to the ground, and he said that he was benevolent and righteous to everyone.
But this group of scholars have just returned from Yingchuan and are thinking about their future. They just heard the praise of a few hunters, and now they are determined to work hard. This is how they blocked businessmen on the official road. .
With a secret joy, he accepted the offer of more than a dozen scribes, and Shang Ji had a smile on his face. The effectiveness of this group of scribes can not only greatly alleviate the embarrassment of the imbalance between civil and military affairs in Pingzhou, but also fully demonstrate the current status of Shangji!
There is no need for Shang Ji to do anything else. The future is also a Gongsundu's future. If the development is better, it is still very possible to compete in the Central Plains.
At present, in terms of prestige alone, Shang Ji is even stronger than Cao Cao! Otherwise, the scholars would not look far away, let Cao Cao, who was the governor of Chenliu, not go to defect, but went to Pingzhou thousands of miles away!
