? Zhao Xing, who was sitting firmly in Wohu City, had already received the battle report from Qingxu's victory at the first time. He is now waiting patiently for Yuan Shao, his opponent and his subordinates to be escorted to Jin by Peng Jian.

Zhao Xing had already figured out how to deal with the old boy Yuan Shao, as well as his two sons, a large group of young people. Of course, Zhao Xing was more concerned about the few available people under Yuan Shao, such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou among the generals, Ju Su, Shen Pei, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others among the scholars. As long as these people are willing to truly contribute to the Jin State, there is no doubt that they will have space and stage to display their personal talents in the future.

Zhao Xing is not a jealous person, and he never felt that he had many talents. During the rapid expansion of Jin State, Zhao Xing could arrange suitable positions for them no matter how many talents there were. In Zhao Xing's view, if anyone thinks that he has too many talents to use, he can only say that this lord is unrighteous and has no explanation other than that.

Talent is the most precious resource. Although it can be regenerated, it is often irreplaceable. Sometimes, because of the appearance of a person, the trajectory of things should have been changed. The most typical example is Zhao Xing himself.

While waiting for Yuan Shao to arrive, Zhao Xing thought he would do nothing, but he received an urgent report from Jia Xu on the Western Front. After reading the secret letter, Zhao Xing showed a surprised and weird expression.

Jia Xu said in the letter: The people from the Sima family seemed to be eager to exchange again, but they still did not want to use Fa Zheng or Zhang Ren as bargaining chips. They put forward a compromise opinion, saying that a new strange man could be used to exchange for the antidote to treat Sima Fang. Moreover, according to Jia Xu's analysis, if the State of Jin insisted that as long as Zhang Ren or Fa Zheng, they would rather stop the exchange than agree to this matter.

Zhao Xing was surprised that the people of the Sima family were really cruel and vicious and powerful. They were unconscious on the hospital bed. These sons were able to keep changing everywhere, and still put the interests of the family first, even regardless of the life of the head of the family.

Zhao Xing thought it was strange that the person proposed to exchange for the Sima family was actually a useful talent. If you want to talk about the potential value, you are afraid that it is higher than Zhang Ren. According to the Sima family's style of never suffering losses, how could they be willing to take this person out and exchange it?

So who is the person proposed by the Sima family? This person is named Li Hui (Note 1), whose courtesy name is De'ang, and is from Yu Yuan, Jianning (now Chengjiang, Yunnan).

Li Hui worked as a supervisor in the county in his early years. His uncle was the county magistrate of Jianling County. Because of his illegal act, Li Hui was dismissed from office because of his illegal act. Because his uncle was a powerful family in this area, the prefect Dong He at that time suppressed the matter and did not dismiss Li Hui's official position. This time, the natives in the Nanzhong area rebelled in chaos, and the Sima family was afraid that the Jin State would ask for Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng, so they appointed these two people to suppress the rebellion. As a result, Fa Zheng discovered Li Hui and strongly recommended to Sima Lang.

When Sima Lang received Fa Zheng's recommendation letter, he was worried about how to ask Jin for antidotes. Because Meng Guang, who went to Jingzhou to look for Zhang Ji not long ago, had returned to Chengdu and reported to Sima Lang that Zhang Ji had been received by people from Jin. Sima Lang heard that Zhang Ji was actually picked up by someone from Jin, so he felt that Zhao Xing had no room for his work and forced himself to stop the Sima family's thought of asking someone to treat Sima Fang. It was really a bad thing, very hateful!

However, Sima Lang was angry, but he still wanted to wake up his father in the eyes, so he discussed with Sima Yi who would use to exchange the antidote. At this moment, Fa Zheng's letter of recommendation arrived, so Sima Yi immediately suggested using this unknown Li Hui and exchange the antidote.

Sima Yi's plan was very simple, that is, Yizhou insisted that Li Hui was a rare talent. In terms of ability and ability, he was not inferior to Fa Zheng and Zhang Ren. Therefore, the State of Jin would not suffer any loss by using Li Hui as an antidote. As for whether Li Hui had the ability, the people of the Sima family really didn't know, unless they were like Zhao Xing, they also traveled back time.

After reading Jia Xu's letter, Zhao Xing immediately replied to a letter, which was the general idea that it could be exchanged, but tried to get some other benefits from Yizhou, such as asking the Sima family to provide a batch of Chinese herbal medicines for free. In fact, this time, Zhao Xing learned from the lessons that Liu Bei secretly intercepted when he asked the court for Zhong Yao, Du Ji and others a few years ago, but did not show too much enthusiasm and expectation.

Zhao Xing asked the Sima family to extort some benefits, but in fact he was also covering up for the successful acquisition of Li Hui. With his understanding of Sima Yi, this person was suspicious and calculating others at all times. If Jin was too generous and eager to exchange Li Hui, it was very likely that Sima Yi's suspicion would arouse Sima Yi's suspicion, which made Sima Yi discover the true value of Li Hui, and as a result, someone else came to exchange with Jin again.

In fact, Sima Fang's life and death did not have much impact on Jin State. As long as Sima Yi was still alive, the Sima family would not become weak. So if Sima Fang's life could be exchanged for many benefits, even Li Hui, a living map who was very familiar with Yunnan and Guizhou, no matter how this transaction was calculated, it was made by Jin State.

After receiving Zhao Xing's reply, Jia Xu was somewhat unexpected. He thought Zhao Xing would definitely be very annoyed, and maybe he canceled the exchange directly in anger, because even Jia Xu didn't know about Li Hui used by the Sima family to exchange. However, since Zhao Xing agreed to the exchange, there was naturally his reason. Jia Xu didn't ask much, so he followed Zhao Xing's strategy and first stubbornly stubbornly with Wang Lei for a long time before he proposed the additional terms of Jin State.

Seeing that Jin State agreed to the exchange, Wang Lei felt uncomfortable when he saw that the additional terms were revealed, but after all, he felt that it was impossible to complete the exchange smoothly, so he quickly contacted Yizhou and told Jin State's request.

Sima Yi, who was in Hanzhong, frowned when he saw that Wang Lei had a long string of additional terms listed on the letter. Sima Yi really hated Zhao Xing in his heart, because the amount of medicinal materials and ore listed on this list was on the verge of being able to bear it but would be very difficult for Yizhou to bear it, that is, he was on the situation where he wanted to refuse but was a little unwilling to accept it.

Sima Yi believed that Zhao Xing saw through Yizhou's intentions, so Jin State simply put aside the exchange of chips using Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng and others, and asked Yizhou for a large number of medicinal materials and precious minerals. As for Li Hui, it became the main point of this exchange, which was dispensable for a while.

In the end, the people of the Sima family made up their minds and bite their teeth, and agreed to the exchange conditions issued by Jin State. Soon after, Li Hui carried a letter of recommendation in his arms that had not yet cooled down, and brought a car carrying herbs and ore to Wudu in a depressed manner.

Note 1: According to historical records, when Zhuge Liang conquered the various ethnic groups in the southwest, Li Hui undertook many important tasks and played a huge role in pacifying the war in the southwest border.

Chen Shou, the author of "The Three Kingdoms", commented on Li Hui with the four words "Public Liang's Aspirations". "Public" means to understand the general principles, "Liang" means to understand the truth, and "Public Jin" means to have a career aspiration and achieve achievements. Later generations have recognized that this review is accurate. ~
