I only heard Wen Chou say at this time: "Lord, Wen Ping Wen Zhongye and his person, I feel that he is a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, such a person is really worthy of such persuasion by the lord?" ”

Liu Bei smiled at him and shook his head, "Wen Zhongye is indeed a talent, but our army is short of talents!" ”

Wen Chou is not unintelligible, let alone his own side, whether it is the Jizhou Army where he was before, or Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, or even Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army, there are a lot of talents. But no matter whether it is Yuan Shao or Ma Chao or Cao Cao, it can be said that they have never disliked the talents under their subordinates, so their powerful princes are like this, not to mention that they have no great power.

So for what his lord said, Wen Chou could only smile bitterly. Naturally, he will not fail to understand the importance of a person's talent to himself, but when he sees Wen Ping like that, he gets angry, he looks down on him, and Wen Chou is indeed not very interested in his people.

In his opinion, if Wen Ping didn't have any idea at all, then he shouldn't have befriended his lord in the first place. At least in Wen Chou's opinion, that's the case. As for the fact that he hadn't come to Xinye at that time, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything.

In Wen Chou's thoughts, Wen Ping definitely has concerns, so that's why it's so. It's just that he didn't say anything, he just didn't take refuge in himself, so of course he didn't know what the specific reason was for Lu Dao to be like this. So Wen Chou really doesn't look down on him, even if he knows that Wen Ping should be a talent, but, alas, it's a pity, although both of them have the surname Wen, but how can they be different from themselves-

At this time, Liu Bei looked at Wen Chou's expression, and he still smiled. But nothing more was said. In fact, he also knows the Tao, Wen Chou definitely doesn't understand anything, on the contrary, many times, he actually knows a lot of the Tao. Although you can't expect him to have any too deep and too high strategies, Wen Chou is definitely not an ordinary reckless man. Not even a simple-minded, well-developed person. Liu Bei knew that there were some things that he actually understood, but he was not convinced. I can't see the hiring, that's why it's like this.

Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Bei didn't say more, and now for him, since he can't go out by himself. Then there is only the last way, and that is to find Xu Shu. Then ask him. Let's see if he has any good ways to convince Wen Ping.

For Liu Bei, he can't do this by himself, but it doesn't mean that the military division can't do it either. After all, his own strategy is definitely not as good as the strategy of the military division. And those ideas of his own are definitely not as good as those of the military advisor. So when I'm already helpless. It's time to call in a military advisor.

And after taking Xiangyang City, it can be said that he has not let Xu Shu enter the city, so at this time, it is actually just to let Xu Shu come to Xiangyang.

After thinking of this, Liu Bei instructed the soldiers: "Come here!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Get out of town. Go and invite the military advisor to come here and say that I have something important to discuss! ”

"No!"

The soldier retired as promised and went to invite Xu Shu. And everyone here understands that his lord is like this, which is actually to let Xu Shu think of a way, so that Wenpin can surrender to himself. Everyone is naturally happy to see this, after all, everyone can see the efforts of the lord before, and now no one has any good way, just see if the military advisor has a good idea-

It didn't take long for Xu Shu to arrive, that is, half a cup of tea, and it can be said that the speed is indeed very fast.

After Xu Shu came, he first saluted his lord, and then greeted everyone, and everyone nodded and greeted Xu Shu.

Liu Bei smiled at this time: "Hahaha! Yuan Zhi is here, sit down! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xu Shu found a place to sit down, and then asked directly: "I don't know what is the important matter for the lord to summon his subordinates into the city at this time?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, and then told him about Wen Hiring, and after Xu Shu heard it, he couldn't help nodding his head-

After listening to his lord's words, Xu Shu smiled, "It seems that the lord is worried about persuading him to be hired?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, "What Yuan Zhi said is good, that's exactly the case, I don't know if Yuan Zhi can persuade Wen Zhongye and his people to surrender to our army?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, and then shook his head again, Liu Bei didn't understand, so he asked, "Yuan Zhi is like this, what does it mean?" ”

"If you don't hide it from your lord, if you persuade you to surrender, your subordinates think it's difficult. But to get it to surrender to our army, in the eyes of his subordinates, this is actually not particularly difficult! ”

"Oh? Yuan Zhi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"No! Please think about it, Wen Zhongye is like this, and there must be a reason for it. And the subordinates think that it is nothing more than a few reasons! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he became interested, "Yuan Zhi continued!" ”

"Yes! Dare to ask the lord, I don't know that in the eyes of the lord, Wen Zhongye is a person, but the kind of die-hard Liu Biao who doesn't know how to be flexible? ”

Liu Bei said in his heart when he heard this, if he Wen Zhongye wanted to say that he was a diehard Liu Jingsheng, it would definitely not be. Otherwise, when Liu Jingsheng was still alive, why did he still befriend himself? What's more, now that he has captured his people alive, and he didn't say anything about being generous to death, so his loyalty is some, but when he says he is loyal, he thinks he has not achieved it.

As for not knowing how to be flexible, this one is even more impossible. It's still that, since he can make friends with himself, he is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be flexible, at that time, he felt it, Wen Ping Wen Zhongye is a person, but he is a flexible person, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is brainless-

After thinking of this, Liu Bei said: "Wen Zhongye is absolutely loyal to Liu Jingsheng, and he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be flexible!" ”

Liu Bei said this, it can be said that he did have a more affirmative tone, and after Xu Shu heard it. Still smiled: "Yes, the lord thinks so, in fact, his subordinates also think so." Then he is like this, but he still refuses to surrender to our army, in fact, his subordinates think that it can only be those reasons! ”

Liu Bei Zhilu said, this time he was finally going to talk about this, so he only heard Xu Shu say: "Lord, the first thing is that the family members of the Wenzhi people are likely to be in Jiangling." Therefore, his people are rat throwers and dare not surrender to our army. Because of this, he wasn't sure what would happen to Cai Mao, after all, Cai Mao was a person, and the lord also knew about it. If he did do something, it wouldn't be impossible! ”

"Not bad. Yuan Zhi thinks this is the reason? ”

Xu Shu shook his head. "Lord, my subordinates don't think it's the reason, because according to the information we have, today's subordinates learned that Wen Ping's people don't have any family members at all, so this is impossible at all!"

Liu Bei didn't know what to do about this. Xu Shu only found out about it, and he hadn't had time to tell Liu Bei yet, so Liu Bei had just learned about it from him. I see, he has no family. So what is he worried about......

Zhilu said that Xu Shu's words were not finished, so Liu Bei asked: "I don't know what Yuan Zhi thinks is the possible reason?" ”

"My lord, it's not the first reason, then it's the second reason, that is, people care about their reputation!"

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "How can this be seen?" ”

Liu Bei really didn't see anything, since Xu Shu said that Wen hired his people to value those false names, then it must not be groundless, so it must be reasonable.

Let's take myself as an example, in fact, I value my reputation very much, but why is it so, if it is not because I have a good reputation, then it will be good for my great cause, don't I know that those are all false names? But even so, this is also something I need, so I have to care about it for my own ideals and hegemony.

So the people who hire them, they don't have any hegemony, but they also care about those things, and it seems that they cherish their wings very much. Or is it that people value this, and they also care about face? Or is it something else you don't know?

I only heard Xu Shu say, "The lord, please think about it, Wen hires his people are not stupid, his subordinates believe it, and the lord should also know the Tao, and his people can definitely see the situation clearly." But even so, his people do not surrender to their own side, to know the way, now his life, it can be said that it is all in the hands of the lord, but in this case, his people are still stubborn, then this is debatable. Because he is neither a die-hard Liu Jingsheng nor a person who does not know how to change, then he is still like this, doesn't this explain the problem! ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, because Xu Shu made sense. I didn't think much about this before, generally speaking, it is the scribe who values his reputation more, but now a military general values his reputation more than the scribe, which is really difficult for him. After all, this reputation is such a thing, not to mention that it has no power, even if it is the first power in the world, but it can't guide the people of the world, who can have such a great ability? ——

seemed to see that his lord's worries were coming, so at this time, Xu Shu said again: "Lord, it is indeed not easy to hire people to surrender to our army. But even so, it does not mean that our army does not have a chance. The subordinates had an idea before, and I happened to talk to the lord and everyone! ”

After Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words, his eyebrows rose, and he said with a smile: "Okay, since Yuanzhi has a way, then you might as well talk about it and let everyone refer to it together, how about it?" ”

"No! Even if the lord doesn't ask, his subordinates have to say at this time, in fact, this is the case, and our army only needs to ......"

Xu Shu told his lord and everyone present what he thought, and Liu Bei and the others nodded their heads after hearing it. I have to say that what Xu Shu just said is indeed something that can be tried, and it can be said that the chance of success is indeed quite large. Anyway. It's not a try, then there is no chance, but if you give it a try, this is actually an opportunity.

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei asked everyone, "What do you think, what do you think of Yuan Zhi's words?" ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and they agreed, so they all knew that at this time, they should quickly agree-

In the end, it was unanimously agreed to pass what Xu Shu said. Liu Bei was also satisfied with this, so he was ready to start preparing for implementation immediately. In his opinion, Calculating Wenpin and Cai Mao of Jiangling should still be successful.

In the next few days, Wen Ping was the second monk. Scratching your head. Because Liu Bei never said anything about persuasion, he just didn't care about the morning food. Or a dinner party. He personally entertained himself and invited himself to eat, and all of his subordinates were also here. This really made Wen Ping not understand, why Liu Bei became like this. Could it be that because I couldn't persuade myself, I changed it and wanted to use it to soften myself. Then let yourself be moved, and then you can't do it after the most unruly?

If he Liu Xuande thinks so, then he is very wrong, this is for himself. That's useless. At least he won't be paralyzed by this, as for Liu Xuande to eat and drink to entertain himself, then he will naturally follow it, what's the matter, he is like this, can he be afraid of anything? What a joke!

For three days in a row, Liu Bei did this, and the clerks were all followed, and Liu Bei's kindness was not wasted at all. And every time Liu Bei looked at him, he was smiling, but Wen Ping really didn't have any expression. For him, Liu Bei should be reluctant to kill himself, not to mention that he feels that he has some ability. said that he deliberately befriended other people at that time, and he was good to them, and he believed that other people would not do anything to him.

But even so, it definitely won't drag on like this. So Wen Pingxin said, I want to take a good look at how you Liu Xuande treat yourself. It's a pity that Wen Ping was disappointed in the end, because in addition to entertaining him well, Liu Bei didn't say anything else to Wen Ping at all, and he said things that had nothing to do with persuasion, so Wen Ping couldn't figure it out, and said in his heart, is Liu Xuande and his people ready to keep himself under house arrest like this, in that case, it doesn't seem to be beneficial to anyone-

As a result, on the fourth day, Liu Bei specially ordered someone to hire Wen over. And Wen Ping is indeed familiar with it for a long time, so it is not surprising that he is not surprised. It was only after he met Liu Bei that he realized that today was different from the past.

After using the morning meal, Liu Bei asked Wen Ping, "How has Zhongye been in our army these days?" ”

Wen Pingxin said, in your Liu Xuande army? I'm obviously in Xiangyang City in Jingzhou South County, what is your Liu Xuande's army?

But he couldn't say that, Wen Ping just said at this time: "Xuande Gong is warm hospitality, and he is indeed deserved to be deserved, deserved!" ”

Liu Bei smiled, and then waved his hand, "Where did Zhong Ye say this, in fact, Zhong Ye can be in our army, then I really can't ask for it." It's a pity, people have their own ambitions, and I can see it early, Zhongye is in Xiangyang, but the heart is in Jiangling! Anyway, since this is the case, then Zhongye will take care of himself today, and I, Liu Xuande, will never stop it! ”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Wen Ping was stunned, and said in his heart, is it he Liu Xuande who said this? It doesn't feel like it, but it's exactly what he said, but it's ......

Although Wen Ping did feel a little strange, and he didn't quite understand it, Wen Ping looked at Liu Bei's appearance, and he could feel that Liu Bei really wanted him to leave. To say that this is really a good thing, but I really didn't expect it. Although I also feel a little strange, no matter how strange it is, it is good that I can leave Xiangyang City. To be honest, don't look at Liu Bei's hospitality to himself in the past few days, but he really didn't stay well here, mainly because his heart wasn't here, so he ......-

After thinking of this, Wen Ping hurriedly asked, "Is what Xuande Gong said true?" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "A gentleman's word! ”

"Horses are hard to chase! Okay, since Xuande Gong is like this, then I will leave here, and this matter is even if I owe Xuande Gong a big favor! ”

"Zhongye, please! We'll see you later! ”

Wen Ping also bowed his hand to Liu Bei and said, "There will be a period later!" ”

For him, he really wanted to get out of this place. If you still defend Xiangyang by yourself, then it doesn't matter how long you stay, but now that Xiangyang has fallen and fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, this is the range of the enemy's strength for himself. And he has been under house arrest by Liu Bei before, and he has been monitored all the time, so it can be said that he has had enough of such days, so he can leave today, and he can't wait to have wings, and then fly back to Jiangling City quickly. (To be continued......)
