No. 019 Parting Message
The four of them had been talking in the carriage all night, after all, Jin Jue was still young, he had just crossed over, and he had not yet been able to fully adapt to this weak body, so after he finished speaking, he fell asleep by himself after a while.
When he woke up, at dawn the next day, Jin Jue found that he didn't know when, his feet were actually on Liu Bei's thighs. And Liu Bei seemed to wake himself up and didn't dare to move.
"S ......, I'm really sorry, Liu Xuzhou, the kid is invisible, he is not honest in sleep, and he actually kicked you until you don't know." Jin Jue hurriedly got up and apologized to Liu Bei in shame.
As soon as Jin Jue woke up, he almost made a slip of the tongue and lasmed English in front of Liu Bei.
"Hahaha, it's okay, you're still young, it's easy to get sleepy, and it's normal for people to be emotional. It's a pity that I can't get close to Xiao Engong more! Liu Bei snorted and didn't care about it.
However, from his stiff legs, Jin Jue could see that Liu Bei's thirsty heart was really eager for talent. Since he took the post of Xuzhou Assassin, except for the original officials in Xuzhou, there was no celebrity or talent who defected to him, which made him feel his life experience and felt a great loss of face.
Uncle Liu Huang mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations is naturally apocryphal, but as long as the surname is Liu, he can say that he is a descendant of Gaozu, which is okay.
"In today's world, not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king!" This is a sentence that Ma Yuan said when he saw Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, and Guo Jia may have said something of the same meaning.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia did not defect to Cao Cao at the first time, but to Yuan Shao, the most famous and powerful prince at that time. Because, Cao Cao's identity background is flawed, his father Cao Song is Xiahouzi, and he is the appearance of Cao Teng, a famous eunuch in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, Xun Yu and Guo Jia are very clear that as a monarch worthy of defection, the first trait is to be capable, and secondly, to be able to tolerate and employ people, as for the rest, it is just a trivial matter.
The first two points are the most important criteria for choosing a king.
Liu Beiyi was not famous, he debuted too late, and his military ability and ability to govern the government were not shown when he was the prime minister of the plains, not to mention, when he helped Tao Qian defend Xuzhou, he was not able to resist Cao Cao's attack and lost to Cao Cao. Taken together, these things are easy to understand, and no one defected to Liu Bei.
Besides, Jin Jue also knows that Liu Bei has a very big shortcoming, that is, nepotism, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been with him for the longest time and have a certain ability, so let's not talk about it.
Jian Yong, a native of Zhuo County at the same time, has been following Liu Bei all the way from Youzhou until he died of illness in Shu County. Such a person, the treatment around Liu Bei can't catch up with Mi Zhu. And Zhao Yun was under Liu Bei's hands, and he was never reused at all, and Liu Bei only regarded him as a general, just like Gao Shun under Lu Bu.
Maybe Zhao Yun's ability to lead troops is far inferior to Gao Shun, or even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but whether it is Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, they have never really reused Zhao Yun, and they have no experience in leading troops alone, so how can a general grow?
The open jaw of the Wei State was also a general with continuous defeats at first, and in the end he did not grow into a famous general that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and even Sima Yi were very afraid of. Without him, you will lose a lot, and your experience will automatically improve.
Of course, this is not the fundamental reason why Jin Jue is unwilling to work for Liu Bei in his heart, there has always been only one real reason - Guan Yu. The martial saint and the god of wealth, who were respected in later generations, are now a famous general who is lustful and likes his wife, and is not good at dealing with the relationship with the scholars at that time with major flaws, Jin Jue thinks that it is inappropriate for him to stay with such a person by nature.
"The time is gone, and it won't be long before Xiaopei arrives. I wish Xiao Engong and Wen Hou a smooth trip in advance here, and their wishes will come true. Leave! It was useless to stay longer, Liu Bei arched his hand at Chen Gong and Jin Jue, and prepared to leave immediately.
The reason why he has stayed until now from last night is that he is afraid of waking up Jin Jue, and secondly, he wants to hear if this little Engong has anything to say to himself.
Sure enough, Liu Bei's actions and attitude moved Jin Jue, he reached out and grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve and said, "Liu Xuzhou, it can be regarded as a parting gift!" If General Zhao Yun returns to your command, and you invite any one of those three strategists to your side, you can appoint Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling and send Zhao Yun under his command. In the future, Sun Jian's son Sun Ce will be your confidant in the south.
Also, Lu Su is not good at scheming, but don't despise him, this person is very good at planning grand strategies, and his vision is extremely high, so you must make friends with your heart. If it is determined that he is still in Dongcheng County or Juchao County, he must not be strong, but should take out the courage of Duke Qi Huan to see Xiao Chenji on the fifth time that year, and personally invite him out of the mountain. As for Jia Xu, when you invite Xu Shu here, this person is good at military strategy and strategy, he may think of a way, how to recruit Jia Xu to your command.
Besides, this time, Liu Xuzhou and Wen Hou defeated Yuan Shu, but they have captured Yuan Shu's Wenchen, if there is, you must pay attention to a person named Yuan Shu. If there is, you must treat him well and reuse him, he is Chen Liuyuan's family, and Yuan Shu is the family. Don't look at him as a son of a family, as long as you can stick to Xuzhou, he will not betray you.
Soon after, after eliminating the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and Runan, Cao Cao might send troops to engage Zhang Xiu in Nanyang. You don't need to participate in this battle, you just need to send people to form an alliance with Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao as soon as possible after the war, and try your best to persuade Zhang Xiu not to surrender to Cao Cao. As for the reasons and excuses for persuasion, I believe that either Lu Su or Xu Shu can take on this important task.
Liu Xuzhou, you and I have a dangerous road ahead, so cherish yourself. β
Without waiting for Liu Bei to say his words of thanks, Jin Jue turned his head and said to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, the kid is still the same sentence, if you are quite a famous general like Han Xin, you must love the soldiers like a son, and you can't be like in the past, drinking and spilling your anger on the soldiers." They are also raised by their parents, and they have worked hard to serve Liu Xuzhou, but they still have to endure your whipping, you go back and think about it! β
Compared with Guan Yu, Jin Jue actually prefers Zhang Fei as a person, so he will remind Zhang Fei one after another. However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and how much Zhang Fei can listen to his child's words depends on his own creation.
Now, the only thing Jin Jue regrets is that he has not been able to see his real idol with his own eyes, even if he has not been truly reused in his life, but he still relies on his own ability to break into a great fame Changshan Zhaoyun Zhao Zilong.
"Thank you!" Even though Liu Bei had a thousand words in his heart, when the words came to his mouth, he only said these two words.
I want to say too much, but Liu Bei has a lot of things in his heart that are not suitable to say in front of Chen Gong.
"Gotta get it!" With the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground quickly, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei hurried towards the direction of Xiapi with a few followers. Liu Bei can't help but be in a hurry!
Before, Liu Bei had just been passively waiting for someone to come to him, but now, Jin Jue's words seemed to open a window for him, which suddenly broadened his horizons.
Since no one came, Liu Bei was ready to take the initiative to attack regardless of the fatigue of a sleepless night, and invited the talents mentioned by Jin Jue to his command as soon as possible.
When Liu Bei left, Lu Bu pretended to try to keep the two, but Liu Bei took the initiative to get rid of it because he was anxious, and told Lu Bu that he had handed over the matter of borrowing troops to Guan Yu, and would not delay the plan written down by Lu Bujun, which naturally made Lu Bu very happy.
After Liu Bei left, Lu Bu called Jin Jue to his side and asked him to also ride a horse and move with the forward horse team, because he was unable to move, and his eldest brother Jin Wei rode the same horse with him.
"Boy, there are so many talents, why don't you recommend it to Ben Hou?" After Jin Jue sat down, Lu Bu suddenly glared and asked viciously.
Obviously, Lu Bu didn't fully trust Chen Gong, last night, when the four of them were talking in the carriage late at night, Lu Bu secretly sent someone to eavesdrop on them, and now, what Jin Jue said last night has already reached Lu Bu's ears.
Jin Jue obviously expected this a long time ago, and he replied with a very calm smile: "Hehehe, Wen Hou, it's not that the kid doesn't recommend it to you." First of all, let's talk about Jia Xu, the first person recommended by the kid to Liu Xuzhou - do you think you can deceive Jia Xu's old fox into your command? Or if you write a letter and send someone to Jia Xu, will he come? β
This time, Lu Bu did not refute Jin Jue's rhetorical question. Because many people know that there are contradictions and hatreds between him and Jia Xu. I think that at the beginning, after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, the situation was originally good, but Wang Yun, a pedantic and incompetent foolish and loyal person, disrupted the good situation.
Next, Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an City by the original Dong Zhuo's men, and Wang Yun was forced to commit suicide. All of this is from Jia Xu's handwriting, so Lu Bu is very aware of Jia Xu's ability and character. Because of this, he was not optimistic that Liu Bei would be able to recruit him.
Jin Jue couldn't think about Lu Bu too much, he continued: "Second, generals, Wen Hou, there is no shortage of generals under you. Xu Chu of Qian County is infinitely powerful, and you must have heard of it. If you are willing, you can take your troops to submit him now. However, the Xu family has a huge influence in Qian County and a large number of family members, will he willingly take the entire family back with you?
There are also people recommended by the kid, all for the same reasons as Xu Chu. Wen Hou, at this time, these people are all concerned about their own family first, and then they are the lord. Therefore, almost all the people recommended by the kid for Liu Xuzhou are talents around Xuzhou. However, don't worry, in Hedong, in the entire state, there are more virtuous people waiting for Wen Hou to collect and surrender? β
"Oh! In this case, Wen Hou, let this kid talk about Wen Hou first, let Wen Hou listen to it, otherwise, your kid has empty lips and white teeth, isn't it perfunctory Wen Hou? Seeing that Wen Hou didn't speak, Hou Cheng on the side hurriedly interjected.
"Hehehe, talking is talking, but, the kid said it, you don't know him, and the kid can't do it. A native of Wen County, Hanoi County, known as Sima Bada! Jin Jue replied.
