Han Xiang

Chapter 315
Seeing Liu Biao's statement, Liu Bei followed Liu Ye's way of responding and sighed and complained: "It's good that brother doesn't blame the crime, but the two counties are sparsely populated, and we have to guard against Cao Cao's invasion. I'm afraid Bei will not be able to support himself. Grain and other things still need to be helped by my brother.”

"It's easy to say, easy to say, Xuande has worked hard for Jingzhou, and I will make up for the money and food."

In order to stabilize Liu Bei, Liu Biao agreed very readily at this time, and then added: "You Yunchang sits in Wancheng, Xuande can stay with me in Xiangyang, and our three clans should discuss together and formulate a strategy to support the Han Dynasty. "

"Zi Yang also"

Liu Bei asked the question knowingly, but stopped talking.

Liu Biao smiled and nodded: "Zi Yang is unparalleled in intelligence and strategy, and he just set up a plan for us. In addition, he is the same age as Qi'er, so people of the same age should communicate more, so that Qi'er can get more familiar with Xiangyang City, and Zi Cong'er this time. I am about to start studying, and I want to ask Ziyang to accept me as a disciple."

Liu Ye was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and refused: "Ye has little talent and little learning, and I dare not misunderstand my son as a teacher. I heard that there are many scholars in Jingxiang, and the government has set up a school in the city. There should be talents who can teach the second son."

"Hehe, that's what I said."

Liu Biao said leisurely: "Using Zi's talents to enlighten children is obviously a bit of a lack of talent, so go around with Qi'er more on weekdays, and give me advice when you have time. Xuande will also stay in Xiangyang for a while, and you will stay with me." Down?"

"This..." Liu Ye looked at Liu Bei and pretended to hesitate.

Liu Bei immediately showed embarrassment, and said: "Wancheng and Xi'e need Zi Yang's wisdom. If you stay in Xiangyang for a long time, I'm afraid Yun Chang won't be able to handle it."

"Hey" Liu Biao waved his hand straight away, and then comforted Liu Bei: "Other than Yun Chang has a white horse to kill the general, how can ordinary Xiaoxiao dare to stroke his tiger's beard? If Cao Cao leads his troops to invade Jingzhou, Xuande will take Ziyang back to defend against the enemy, and serve as a brother. They will also send troops to help."

Liu Bei still refused to open his mouth after hearing this, so Liu Ye deliberately turned around and advised Liu Bei: "My lord, Ye's talent is no more than the light of a firefly, there must be wise men like the bright moon in the world, why don't you ask him to come out to help?"

"A sage like Haoyue?" Liu Bei shook his head and replied with a bitter face: "Not to mention whether there is such a sage, and if there is, he can't do things for me. Brother Jing Sheng is the one who can help the Han Dynasty. Bei only wants Mr. Talents"

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Liu Biao looked playful, wondering if Liu Ziyang had any new ideas?It was very suspicious to be taken away by Zhang Fei at the beginning. Ordinarily, with his background and wisdom, he should not have followed the worthless Liu Bei at all.

Maybe if I fight hard enough, I can make Liu Ye a guest minister of Jingzhou?

Thinking of this, Liu Biao hastened to help Liu Ye: "Xuande, don't underestimate yourself. You are also a clan member of the Han family, and you are regarded as the emperor's uncle by the emperor. You have enemies like Yunchang and Yide. There must be someone who is willing If you want to serve under your command, you should look for it boldly.”

"The world is so big that no one knows it"

Liu Ye interrupted Liu Bei's worry, pointed at Liu Biao, and said, "The Lord of Fu has a school in Xiangyang, and there must be some good ministers who govern the world. Why do you want to be far away? I believe that the Lord will not begrudge talents? Anyway, it is used for governance. Wancheng and Xi'e are also places in Jingzhou."

Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao and murmured, "Brother Jing Sheng cultivated talents, and then let me seek them? This seems inappropriate."

Liu Biao suddenly replied: "Xuande is welcome to ask for it. Not all the students in the library are scholars from Jingxiang, there are also many scholars from Guanzhong, Central Plains, and Hebei, but most of them are relatively young. I am afraid that Xuande will dislike him."

"Brother's words are serious, how can there be any reason to dislike them?"

Liu Bei sighed, and then tentatively asked: "Then I'll go and see it tomorrow?"

Liu Biao said with a smile: "Xuande just go. If you encounter difficulties, I will help you as a lobbyist, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed in the end."

"Eh."

Liu Bei and Liu Ye sang together, causing Liu Biao to mistakenly think that there was a rift between the two, and after the banquet, they were detained to live in the state pastoral mansion, but both expressed that it was inconvenient to bother, and insisted on living in the posthouse in the city.

Liu Biaoxin said that if you continue to pretend, you will fall out one day.

The two then stayed in Xiangyang, and there was no fixed date when they would return to Wancheng. During the day, they were guarded by Zhao Yun and Chen Dao, and they went to work separately, and only returned to the posthouse to rest at night.

Sometimes Liu Ye was a guest at Liu Qi's house, sometimes he went out with Liu Qi, and Liu Bei went to the academy every day.

It's a pity that none of the young scholars in the hall think highly of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also doesn't think highly of these young people, but the matter of Liu Bei's pursuit of talents spread like wildfire.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Biao invited Liu Bei's residence to be a guest.

Liu Biao asked about the matter of seeking talents during the banquet, Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps Bei's talents are shallow, and he has neither discovered talents for governing the world nor scholars who actively seek official positions. It seems that we can only rely on Ziyang. After all, Liu Bei The family's country can only be saved by the Liu family."

Liu Ye got mixed up with Liu Qi these days, and did not reveal the idea of ​​abandoning Liu Bei. Liu Biao thought it might not be the right time, so he explained to Liu Bei: "Xuande don't be discouraged, those great talents who hide in the world are not so easy. find, you have to be patient"

"I can save it."

Seeing Liu Bei's dejected face, Liu Biao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reminded him: "By the way, in the south of Mount Xian, in the Mian River, on Yuliang Island, there lived a hermit named Pang Degong with a long character. Xiang is very talented, and my brother has asked for him several times without success, so why not ask Xuande? If you can invite this person to come out of the mountain, you will definitely be able to help Kuangfu Han."

"I've heard of this person, but my elder brother can't even invite me, what can I do."

Liu Biao sighed, "Famous people have such weird tempers, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they must try."

"Okay, I'll try it next year." Liu Bei reluctantly agreed.

After the banquet, Liu Bei left. Mrs. Cai, who was hiding in the back hall and eavesdropping, came out and joked to Liu Biao: "It's fine for Liu Xuande to run into a wall in Xiangyang these few days. My husband also asked him to go to Yuliangzhou to humiliate himself. I don't know him. Is there any resentment in the dark?"

"Madam heard it?" Liu Biao didn't care about Cai's eavesdropping, but explained to her: "Liu Xuande's only brain truster is trapped in Xiangyang by me, and he is not willing to abandon Liu Ye now, so he can only do nothing to try his luck."

Mrs. Cai frowned and reminded Liu Biao, "Then we can't let him beg Pang Gong. If Pang Gong is really willing to go out for Liu Xuande, where will the prince's face go?"

"Madam, don't worry. Although Pang Shangchang has a weird personality, he is a member of the Pang family. He will never shame me."

After Liu Biao finished speaking confidently, he suddenly looked at Mrs. Cai meaningfully.

After conspiring with Cai Mao, Cai often eavesdropped on Liu Biao's conversations with outsiders. Seeing the other party looking directly at her, she immediately asked with a guilty conscience, "Is it possible that my husband is looking at my concubine like this?"

"No."

Liu Biao shook his head lightly: "Speaking of people with eccentric personalities, your elder sister's son-in-law who likes Liang Fuyin not only compares himself wildly to Guan Zhongleyi, but is also praised as 'Wolong' by Pang Shangchang. Why not let Wolong come out of the mountain to serve Xuande?"

Cai smiled dumbly: "My husband is joking, Kong Ming is only a weaker champion this year, even if he likes Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande may not like him, and we may have to trouble us when he becomes an official in the future."

"talk later"

Liu Biaoyang waved his hand: "There are so many children from rich families in Jingzhou, and there is no way to arrange a seat in a short time. Kong Ming has to line up in the back. You ask brother-in-law to do his best."

Cai sighed and said, "Oh, my concubine can save me."

Jingzhou famous people all know Wolong, but because he is too "crazy", there are only a handful of people who appreciate him, even Liu Biao and his wife are not optimistic about him.

At this time, the insolent Zhuge Liang was invited by his friends to Xianshan for an appointment.
