The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 130 Bei and Mr. Xi have a little friendship
February, the beginning of spring.

Winter is passing, and the temperature in the whole Dahan has risen slightly.

However, the Little Ice Age was finally here, and even as the time entered spring, there was still a bit of chill in the air.

With the advent of spring, the flow of people in and out of the entire city of Xuchang became more and more.

Because of the relationship between trading Shi Nie, the relationship between Cao Cao in Xuchang and Yuan Shao in Jizhou has greatly eased during this period.

At this time, because of the relationship with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is now busy competing with Lu Bu for the state.

In the same month, Cao Cao sent his envoy Kong Rong to Jizhou in the name of the imperial court, and once again recognized Yuan Shao's position as a general, and even more recognized him as a general, supervising the four prefectures of Ji, You, Qing, and Bing.

This trip, Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

There was no fighting in the north. Although Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou several times in the south, Cao Ren led his troops to resist them all.

The war did not have the slightest impact on the situation in Xuchang.

The recruitment order made most scholars from all over the world go to Xuchang, and the school and fortifications established by Xi Yu began to enter the final stage.

Boss Cao is in a good mood, and plans to open the recruitment order for selection in mid-March.

On the other side, Liu Bei has been making friends with people since scholars from all over the world entered Xuchang.

"My lord, most of these scholars are mediocre, why should they be treated so seriously every day?"

In the private room of the Xuchang restaurant, Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei who had been making friends with scholars and had not achieved much, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

Hearing this, Liu Bei subconsciously glanced out the window of the box.

"Zi Zhong, you know Bei's current situation!"

"Now I am trapped in a cage, unable to break free, and His Majesty has placed high hopes on me, allowing me to walk as the emperor's uncle!"

"If I stay in the courtyard empty, how can I be worthy of His Majesty's kindness, and now I have no choice but to make friends with scholars from all over the world!"

"Nowadays, there are countless scholars in the world who have a heart for the great man, and I am deeply gratified."

"I've been bothering Zi Zhong all the time!"

After saying this, Liu Bei felt somewhat apologetic.

These days, Mi Zhu spent all his traveling expenses. If he hadn't brought Mi Zhu with him, he wouldn't even be able to entertain those scholars.

Although these days, the effect is very small, but it still gave Liu Bei some hope.

And Liu Bei vaguely remembered a certain scholar he met in the restaurant back then.

The other party has an outstanding figure and an extraordinary bearing.

It's a pity that before he stepped forward to make friends with the other party, the latter had already taken someone away.

Liu Bei thought he had a good eye for knowing people.

Although it was just a quick word, it was already clear that that scholar was definitely not a person in the pool.

Although the other party looked young, his demeanor seemed to be overflowing with talent.

These days, he thought he could see each other again, but luck seemed to be a bit bad, and he never saw each other again.

Liu Bei was a little lost in thought, and Mi Zhu who was beside him spoke after that.

"Where does the lord speak!"

"It's just a little money. If it is beneficial to the lord, what's the problem if Zhu spends all his wealth?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was a little moved, and tears seemed to flash across his eyes.

Mi Zhu next to him was also a little sad.

The two ministers didn't say much, and the atmosphere in the box was a little gloomy.

After a while, Mi Zhu seemed to remember something.

"My lord, I heard that the Xu brothers from Runan have arrived in Xuchang now. These two are quite talented. My lord might as well win them over!"

Compared with those unknown scholars, the Xu brothers' reputation is even louder.

After Mi Zhu said this, the brilliance in Liu Bei's pupils involuntarily brightened.

"Oh, it's the Xu brothers who founded Yuedan Ping?"

"It's these two people!"

Monthly review!

When the Xu brothers presided over the Yuedan Review, the entire Han Shilin was moved by it.

All scholars in the world do not want to be evaluated by Yuedan.

Being able to be evaluated by Yuedan will greatly help his reputation among scholars, even if he enters an official career, he will also be affected by it.

Even Cao Cao back then, in order to be judged by Shang Yuedan, had to hold a sword to block the door of the Xu brothers.

And Liu Bei was unknown back then, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to be commented on that day. Now that he heard the names of those two people, Liu Bei couldn't help being a little excited.

"My lord, I heard that the two brothers of the Xu family went to Xuchang this time because they wanted to restart the Yuedan Ping. If the lord can recruit the two of them, let them take advantage of the Yuedan Ping and declare the lord's reputation. It will be more important than stooping to make friends with these scholars. Much more useful!"

The big man still attaches great importance to reputation.

A person's reputation is like a label, just like the uncle Liu Bei is staring at now, it is also an extremely dazzling label.

"Do you know where the Xu brothers are staying?"

Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu, since he had a goal, he was naturally eager to visit the two of them.

With his current title of Emperor Uncle, it should not be difficult to meet the two of them.

……

Liu Bei was going to visit the Xu brothers. At this time, Cao Cao was sitting in the Xuchang government office.

"Xu Zijiang and his two brothers have come to Xuchang!"

"They're all old friends, and these two didn't even come to find Cao!"

It seemed that he had received the news early. When Cao Cao said this, he subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu who was on the side.

Seeing Cao Cao's vague eyes, Xi Yu felt a little helpless.

Now he naturally knows about the fact that the Xu brothers came to visit him.

Because of the scholars outside, Xi Yu said that he hadn't seen any visitors during this period of time.

I didn't expect the Xu brothers to look for him.

And not once or twice.

It's a pity that when he knew about it, it was somewhat late!

Of course, Xi Yu didn't pay too much attention to this situation, if he missed it, he would miss it!
Speaking of the Xu Brothers, these two people in this era are nothing more than some well-known self-media big Vs in later generations.

It is in this era, with some traffic.

The Yuedan Ping hosted by the two of them was also highly respected by the scholars of the Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, Yuedan Ping can become famous, which is beneficial to official career.

On the other hand, through Yuedan's review, he can make more like-minded people, which will be beneficial to his career in the future.

Xi Yu skillfully picked up the teacup and took a sip into his mouth, his face remained calm.

Cao Cao spoke again at this time, his tone seemed to be a little pan-acid.

"Back in the day, I wanted to ask the brothers from the Xu family to review for me, but I was rejected time and time again."

"For this reason, the sound of Cao holding his sword against Xu Zijiang's neck in a fit of anger, was able to exchange for two comments!"

The traitor of Qingping, the hero of troubled times!
Xi Yu is naturally clear about this.

It's just that Boss Cao felt that spreading the word would be bad for his reputation.

After going out, I changed it directly for myself.

It was changed to: A capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times.

With the comments from the Xu brothers, Cao Cao's career after that naturally went very smoothly.

Regarding how to evaluate, Cao Cao didn't say much, but most of the people present in the government office knew it well.

"It can be said that things are right and people are wrong!"

"Back then I had to hold a sword to get a comment from those two brothers, but now compared to Fengyi."

"I never thought that Feng Yi would keep these two people out!"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing while speaking.

When the Xu brothers arrived in Xuchang, if they approached Cao Cao directly, Cao Cao would naturally entertain the two of them warmly for the sake of the original evaluation.

But knowing that the two arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao waited for a long time, but the two did not come to visit.

This made him a little angry.

And after knowing that the two of them were rejected by Xi Yu again and again, they couldn't help being a little funny.

Xi Yu was a little helpless.

This matter, after all, is just missed.

Xi Yu didn't bother to explain this situation.

Seeing or not seeing doesn't mean much to him.

He more or less guessed what the Xu Brothers were looking for this time. They wanted to re-host the Yuedan Review and needed fame.

To put it simply, more traffic is needed.

That's why the two brothers would come to Xuchang when the imperial court issued a recruitment order.

On the other hand, Xi Yu's reputation in Shilin is too loud now.

It would be a great thing for the Xu brothers if they could comment on Xi Yu when the Yuedan Review is held again.

The Xu brothers needed something, so they came to him again and again to play Yu.

As far as Xi Yu himself is concerned, he doesn't need the so-called Yuedan comments now, and Xi Yu doesn't value such things as fame.

The needs of the two sides are different, so Xi Yu naturally doesn't care too much.

If you miss it, you miss it!

……

While joking with each other in the Xuchang government office, Liu Bei on the other side brought Mi Zhu to the temporary residence where the Xu brothers were staying.

Hearing that it was the current emperor's uncle visiting, the Xu brothers were somewhat excited.

After the two enthusiastically greeted Liu Bei in the main hall, the three of them immediately took their seats.

"Zijiang and Wenxiu are famous, I have heard about them a long time ago, but it is a pity that I have never seen them, and I am overjoyed to meet you today!"

When Liu Bei opened his mouth, he praised Xu Jing and Xu Shao.

Hearing this, the Xu brothers felt very honored.

"Imperial Uncle's name, my brothers and I have heard about it for a long time!"

Xu Jing spoke with a smile on his face.

"The emperor's uncle's benevolence and righteousness are well known in the world!" Xu Shao echoed.

"Back then, the emperor's uncle led his troops to solve the crisis in Beihai regardless of the strength of the troops. Later, he helped Mr. Tao Shijun. His reputation of benevolence and righteousness was widely spread. My two brothers also respect the emperor's uncle very much!"

The three of them sat opposite each other, and as Liu Bei spoke up to praise the Xu brothers, the latter two returned their courtesy.

In this case, the host and guest had a good time.

After the politeness was almost over, the three of them began to discuss the situation in the world and so on.

In addition, it comes to talent and learning.

The more the three talked, the more excited they became. After some conversation, it was already late at night before they knew it.

Liu Bei didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and the Xu brothers were also extremely enthusiastic about Liu Bei.

The three of them seemed to have endless things to talk about, so they talked directly at night by holding candles.

until midnight.

Xu Jing unintentionally brought the topic to Xi Yu.

"Mr. Xuande can know how to act righteously?"

Xu Jing casually asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei treats people generously, and has no pretensions when interacting with people. In a short period of time, the three of them have become close by their names.

Hearing that the play Fengyi was mentioned, the expression on Liu Bei's face changed accordingly.

"Don't lie to Zijiang and Wenxiu, Mr. Xi naturally knows it."

"Oh, Mr. Xuande, what do you think of Xi Fengyi?"

Xu Jing raised his eyes and asked Liu Bei.

The two brothers haven't seen Xi Yu yet, so what they know about Xi Yu is more or less just rumors from the outside world!

And Xi Yu can have such a great reputation, one is that he improved the papermaking technique, and the other is that the Quyuanli he created has now been spread in the states of the Han Dynasty.

Coupled with its help to Cao Cao, along with some policies, creation.

There is also the emperor's endorsement, and now he is one of the nine ministers of the great Han Dynasty, the Da Sinong.

As for its force, it is all related.

Xi Yu's reputation, unknowingly, has long been known all over the world.

Seeing the Xu brothers staring at him, Liu Bei followed suit and smiled.

"Mr. Xi is a great talent in the world. I have never seen such a person as Mr. Xi. There is no one in the past or the present!"

Liu Bei's praise is not insignificant.

Even, this evaluation is already somewhat respected.

And in Liu Bei's heart, this is really true for Xi Yu's cognition.

In terms of force, Xi Yu in Liu Bei's eyes is stronger than Lu Bu before Hulao Pass.

It was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, I'm afraid that's all there is to it!
And Xiang Yu's bravery is known all over the world.

His own Gaozu was very cautious when dealing with Xiang Yu.

Even when Xiang Yu was at the end of his life, his own Gaozu didn't dare to get close to him!

There is no other person in this world with such force.

And Xi Yu's force, in Liu Bei's eyes, was similar to that of Xiang Yu back then, even though he had never met Xiang Yu before, in his opinion, Xi Yu might be stronger than Xiang Yu.

In terms of literary talent, Xi Yu's ability is not far behind.

Its policy arguments have made Cao Ying flourishing today.

As for Jimin, he even created waterwheels, curved plows and other objects, each of which was unexpected.

In Liu Bei's view, even what Xi Yu showed was just the tip of the iceberg.

Such a person, in his heart, is almost like a heavenly being.

Hearing Liu Bei's praise without hesitation, the Xu brothers were obviously a little startled.

They also had some idea of ​​Xi Yu's perception in the outside world.

It's just that I didn't expect Xi Yu to be so respected by Liu Bei.

It was a bit of a surprise.

At this moment, both of them feel a little pity, if the former fan can visit Xi Yu, that would be great.

Thinking this way in their hearts, Xu Jing and Xu Shao sighed in unison.

Liu Bei was a little puzzled.

Just after he finished praising Xi Yu, the two people in front of him sighed.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my own views?
"Zijing and Wenxiu, it's difficult for you two, do you have different opinions?"

Liu Bei looked a little puzzled, Xi Yu's current reputation was recognized by the whole world.

Do these two people have any different views?

Liu Bei couldn't figure it out, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Xu Jing in front of him saw the change in Liu Bei's expression, and immediately knew that Liu Bei might have misunderstood the behavior of his brothers just now.

The two hurriedly opened their mouths to explain.

"It's not that there are different opinions!"

"My two brothers are also the most respectful of Mr. Xi!"

"This time my brother came to Xuchang, on the one hand, to restart the Yuedan Review, and on the other hand, he came here for Mr. Xi!"

When Xu Jing said this, his tone paused, and the expression on his face was somewhat helpless.

"It's a pity that my two brothers want to visit Mr. Xi, but they have been suffering from nowhere to meet!"

To put it simply, the brothers wanted to meet Xi Yu, but they had no chance to see each other at all.

Hearing the explanation of the two, Liu Bei finally understood.

Feelings are just a little misunderstanding.

In this way, Liu Bei followed suit and smiled: "This matter is not difficult!"

"Mr. Bei and Mr. Xi, there is still some friendship. If you don't dislike the two of you, Mr. and I will recommend you tomorrow."

Liu Bei patted his chest, he said this with some confidence.

He thought he had some kind of friendship with Xi Yu, so the visit wasn't too difficult.

The voice just fell.

Xu Jing and Xu Shao's expressions turned from worry to joy.

"Uncle Huang is willing to help, and my two brothers are very honored. If so, please ask Uncle Huang!"

The two saluted Liu Bei, who quickly reached out to support them.

In the middle of the night, the three of them continued to discuss for a while, until sleepiness struck, and then the three of them fell asleep.

The next day.

At dawn, Liu Bei had already got up early. Seeing that the Xu brothers were still awake, Liu Bei didn't hurry to urge them.

He was sitting not far from the bed, his eyes were slightly absent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Waking up early at dawn is already a habit Liu Bei has developed all year round.

Probably because his family was poor since he was a child, he had to get up early to help with the work. Afterwards, he went back and forth and never had much relaxation.

At Chenshi, there was still a little time before the Xu brothers woke up slowly.

As soon as the two opened their eyes, they realized that Liu Bei seemed to have gotten up early, and they didn't know how long the other party had been waiting for them.

Seeing this situation, the Xu brothers couldn't help but feel a little better about Liu Bei.

With a bit of shame on his face, Xu Jing got up and hurriedly saluted Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande waited for me for a long time, Jing felt ashamed!"

Xu Shao also cupped his hands with shame on his face.

This time, Liu Bei naturally noticed the two when they got up.

Seeing the two saluting towards him, Liu Bei hurriedly returned the salute.

"Why are you so ashamed, you just need to wake up earlier!"

"What's more, last night, Bei and Zijiang had a long talk with each other. If it wasn't for that, the two of them wouldn't be like this."

"This is a fault of preparation!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Bei didn't care about the matter of him waiting for the two of them, and even blamed himself for the late waking up of the two of them.

Hearing this, the faces of the Xu brothers were even more ashamed, but the recognition of Liu Bei in the hearts of the two brothers had already risen a little bit.

At this time, the three of them had breakfast together, and then Liu Bei took the Xu brothers straight to the direction of the theater.
