Before Liu Bei came to Xu Shao's mansion, Jian Yong handed over the name thorn, Xu Shao was already waiting, and soon sent someone out to greet him, welcomed Liu Bei and his party in, and sat down as guests. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refused to take a seat at the seat arranged by Xu Shao, and stood behind Liu Bei with a knife. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are very tall, especially Guan Yu, who is extremely oppressive, plus a pair of Danfeng eyes are half-open and half-closed, and his eyes are not good, which always makes people feel that he may pull out a knife and cut people at any time.

Xu Shao secretly complained to himself. Suddenly, he felt that Sun Ce was actually quite good, at least he didn't directly mess with him.

After a few words, Xu Shao asked Liu Bei's intention. Liu Bei did not have much respect for Xu Shao, but he also knew that it was not wise to offend Xu Shao. He was very polite, introduced himself in general, and specifically mentioned that he was a disciple of Lu Zhi, and he had meritorious service in the Yellow Turban, and he had also rushed to help Kong Rong. He didn't hide that he was defeated by Sun Ce, and he told the truth one by one, admitting that he was not as good as Sun Ce in using soldiers, and he was so convinced that he was defeated, and finally sincerely asked Xu Shao for advice, and vaguely expressed his hope to get Xu Shao's comments.

Xu Shao has been listening quietly, the more he listens, the more relaxed he becomes, and unconsciously, it seems that he has returned to the time when he hosted the Yuedan Commentary. No matter how conceited a person is, he will bow his head in front of him, for fear of getting a bad comment and discrediting. is as proud as Yuan Shao, and he also took into account his evaluation, dismissed the servants before entering the country, and entered the country by bicycle. Liu Bei, it is normal to behave so respectfully in front of him, he was arrogant for a while yesterday, it is estimated that he has not taken off the atmosphere of the military camp since he got out of the car. After a night of precipitation, he finally knew his identity.

This is the true value of the Yuedan review, which is in line with the meaning of the word praise and disapproval in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Under Liu Bei's earnest gaze, Xu Shao fiddled with the jade Ruyi in his hand and was silent for a long time. He enjoyed Liu Bei's worship, but he really didn't like Liu Bei. There is no need for Liu Bei to introduce himself, he also knows a little about Liu Bei, and he is also very disdainful of his behavior of changing hands several times in the past few months, if it was a few months ago, Liu Bei would not even be able to see his face. But time has passed, and he now has to deal with Liu Bei.

Compared with the evaluation of Liu Bei, he cared more about Sun Ce's intentions. What was the purpose of Sun Ce asking Liu Bei to ask for a review? Is it to prevaricate Liu Bei, or do you want to make peace euphemistically? Once Liu Bei is given a comment, will Sun Ce also come to ask for a comment, if he comes, to give or not to give, if so, what kind of comment to give?

This young man's methods are vicious and elusive, and he can't help but guard against them.

Xu Shao pondered for a long time and opened his mouth slowly. "The general's surname is Liu, but he has royal blood?"

"The ancestor is said to have come from King Jing of Zhongshan, but the branches are far away, and after many wars, the pedigree is scattered, and it is difficult to understand itself."

Xu Shao nodded. "Although the pedigree is difficult to understand, the general does have the legacy of his ancestors. Since the general is a disciple of Lu Zigan, he must know something about Gaozu's deeds, right? ”

Liu Bei hesitated, not knowing what Xu Shao meant by this. Does Gaozu's legacy mean that I am like Gaozu who has been defeated repeatedly, or does it mean that I am from a humble background like Gaozu and a scoundrel? There are no good things to say about Gaozu in the history books.

"I know a little bit about it."

"Then do you know why Gao Zu was able to achieve his great cause?"

Liu Bei touched his smooth chin and thought for a long time. Listening to Xu Shao's words, half of his worries have gone, Xu Shao has the intention of pointing him out, even if he takes a step back, he is also taking the school to test him, at least he does not despise him. At this time, it is meaningless to say that the destiny of heaven and other imaginary words are meaningless, so it is natural to come up with something that is highly operable.

"Gaozu...... I can use people. ”

Xu Shao smiled and nodded. "What kind of people does Gaozu use?"

Looking at Xu Shao's smile, Liu Bei's heart was pounding, and he became more and more convinced that Xu Shao was pointing him. He meditated as if he were facing the most important exam of his life. How did Gaozu use people? There are warriors such as Cao Shen and Fan Xu under Gao Zu, but the three people he has the highest evaluation are not Cao Shen and Fan Xu, but Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others.

Liu Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood what Xu Shao meant. He blurted out. "Gaozu uses scholars."

Xu Shao sighed softly. "The general is not an idler, and he is also shallow, so he does not dare to comment on it, and he is willing to give it to the ancestor who stayed in the marquis. The general is bestowed, although there are many tribulations, there will be a time for the dragon to soar. The two warriors behind the general must be Cao Shen and Fan Xu, and those who are lacking in the general are also left behind. May the general wait patiently and pay attention to the visit to the virtuous, and he will be able to achieve something in the future. ”

Xu Shao said, holding the jade Ruyi and giving a salute. This is the meaning of sending off guests, and the Tsing Yi Jian servant flashed out from under the porch and stood quietly. Liu Bei heard it in a fog, Xu Shao praised him, but refused to give him a comment, what does this mean? If Sun Ce asked, how would I answer him? He is known as the little overlord, I am the reincarnation of Gaozu, will he kill me directly?

Why are these readers so bad?

"Bei is stupid, can you ask Xu Jun to dial one or two more?" Liu Bei pretended not to see the Qingyi servant under the corridor, and asked cheekily.

Xu Shao seemed to be smiling. "General, the will of heaven is mysterious, you can't say it directly, you have to rely on understanding, this is the general's chance, it's not something I can speculate."

Liu Bei was very unhappy, and his eyes became cold. Seeing that Liu Bei's eyes were not good, Xu Shao sighed secretly, and hurriedly added. "Does the general know where Zhang Liang is from?"

"He's ...... The old Korean minister should be from Yingchuan now, right? ”

"Where is the general now?" Xu Shao smiled mysteriously. "Don't you think that today's situation is vaguely similar to the situation four hundred years ago? General, why do people read? Reading is for reason. Why read history? The purpose of reading history is to learn something. General, do you need me to say more? ”

Liu Bei blinked blankly, he seemed to understand a little, but he didn't quite understand, and there was still a little unspeakable anxiety in his heart. Xu Shao said so much, he could only understand one thing, Xu Shao asked him to pay attention to Zhang Liang, who was looking for him, and mentioned the Yingchuan people. He thought of Xun Yu, it is said that Xun Yu was called Wang Zuozhicai by He Hao, and he once had a relationship with Xun Yu, but he missed it. Could Xun Yu be the Zhang Liang of his fate? If that's the case, hasn't he already missed the most important person.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Shao meant this, and his mood became more and more uneasy, and he gradually became depressed. He left Xu Shao's house in a daze, walked forward along the street, and unconsciously came to the door of the Sun family's mansion, and suddenly had an idea.

How did Gaozu enter Xianyang? It was to take advantage of Xiang Yu's attack on the Qin army under Julu City, and to take advantage of the weakness when he fought to the death with Zhang Han, Wang Li and others. Now Yuan Shao occupies Hebei, just like Zhang Han and Wang Li at that time, Sun Ce occupied the Central Plains, just like Xiang Yu at that time, there must be a decisive battle between them, if I can take advantage of their decisive battle to go to Chang'an and attach to the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be the same as Gaozu entering Xianyang? Xun Yu is in Chang'an, if he is really my ovary, he must be waiting for me.

History is indeed similar, and it is strikingly similar.

Liu Bei suddenly realized that he couldn't help laughing.

Sun Ce happened to go out, and when he saw Liu Bei standing in front of the door and smirking, he couldn't help but ask. "Liu Xuande, what are you laughing at, so happy."
