Liu Bei was in a very bad mood. He changed his mind and was no longer in a hurry to return to Yanzhou, anyway, Yanzhou would not be his soon, no matter how the yellow turban made trouble, it would be good to kill them all.

"Let's go, see Mr. Go." Liu Bei turned over and got on the horse.

Lu Zhi was sick, bedridden, and skinny. Seeing Liu Bei, he was very happy and surprised. "Xuande, why are you here?"

Liu Bei was surprised. "Sir, didn't you recommend me to Lord Yuan to be the pastor of Yuzhou?"

Lu Zhi was inexplicable. He originally lived in seclusion in the mountains of Shanggu to recuperate, but was invited by Yuan Shaoqiang to be a military advisor. He himself knew that he was pulled by Yuan Shao to set an example, and Yuan Shao was full of talents, so he didn't need his advice at all. Yuan Shao invited him to take a fancy to his fame. He and Zheng Xuan are both disciples of Ma Rong, and have served as high-ranking officials, and their reputation in the government and the opposition is very high. When he put down Zhang Jiao's rebellion, he had to fight in Jizhou, which had a certain impact. Ma Rong's daughter Ma Lun is Yuan Kui's wife, Lu Zhi and the Yuan family also have a deep friendship, Yuan Shao invited him, he couldn't help but come. But after he came, he basically didn't show up, recuperated behind closed doors, and he didn't know anything about Liu Bei's appointment as the pastor of Yuzhou.

Liu Bei was embarrassed. The only reason why he can convince himself of peace of mind is Lu Zhi's recommendation, and it is difficult to disobey the teacher's fate. I never thought that Lu Zhi didn't know about it.

Lu Zhi sighed softly. "Xuande, why don't you go to Chang'an and serve the Son of Heaven?"

"Sir, may I go?"

"Of course you can." Lu Zhi smiled, his face full of exhaustion and panting like a cow. "Wang Situ has already killed Dong Zhuo, the sages are in charge, the Son of Heaven is wise, and Zhongxing is not impossible at all. You have extraordinary courage, and with the help of warriors like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, you will definitely be able to make great achievements. Do you know that Cao Cao is in Guanzhong, and now he is the general of Zhendong and the captain of the Shousi. How can he be, why can't you? ”

Liu Bei's heart pounded. "That'...... Can sir recommend me? ”

"Absolutely." Lu Zhi sat up with support, ordered his eldest son Lu Min to prepare pen and ink, and wrote a letter of recommendation by himself, asking Liu Bei to go to Chang'an to find Yang Biao. He used to be in the same Dongguan school with Yang Biao, and he intersected with each other, Yang Biao is now the commonplace and has a considerable right to speak. With his introduction, it is very easy for Liu Bei to enter the court as an official, and no matter how bad it is, he can find a position in Sikong Mansion.

Liu Bei was grateful and wept away.

——

Back at the post house, Liu Bei took out Lu Zhi's recommendation and asked Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others to look at it and discuss staying.

Jian Yong shook his head and objected. His opinion was that most of the people in power in the imperial court were related to Yuan Shao, and if they abandoned Yuan Shao and secretly went to Chang'an, even if they had Lu Zhi's recommendation, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to be reused. The relationship between Yang Biao and Lu Zhi is good, but no matter how good their relationship is, can it be better than the relationship between the Yuan and Yang families? Yang Biao's wife is Yuan Shao's half-sister.

As for Cao Cao, who Liu Bei planned to emulate, Jian Yong also said that the situation was different and could not be imitated. Cao Cao was beaten by Sun Ce and lost his armor, so he had no choice but to go west to Chang'an. He did not turn his back on Yuan Shao, and his son Cao Ang is still under Yuan Shao's command, and he also sent Yuan Shu's son to Yecheng. Moreover, although Cao Cao's reputation is notorious, he has been in Luoyang for many years, and his foundation in the court can not be compared with Liu Bei.

It's okay to go to Chang'an, but not now, you have to find a suitable opportunity. In a word, you can't easily betray Yuan Shao, leave infamy, and cut off your own back road. In any case, judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao is the most likely to be the final victor. Gongsun Zhan is so strong, wasn't he defeated by Yuan Shao in a blink of an eye? What can the imperial court do, there are more celebrities there, and there is no place for Liu Bei.

Jian Yong's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Liu Bei's hope.

Just then, someone came to visit. Liu Bei took the famous thorn and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows, very surprised. "Yingchuan Xunyu, have you heard of it?"

Jian Yong took the name thorn and looked at it, it was written with the words "Yingchuan Xun Yu Ziwen Ruo asked about living", and thought about it. "I seem to remember that there is such a person, He Hao said that he is Wang Zuozhicai. He is Xun Shu's grandson and Xun Shuang's son. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him in person. Although he had never seen Xun Yu, he knew that Yingchuan was a famous person, and Xin Ping and Guo Tu under Yuan Shao were all from Yingchuan, and Xun Chen was too, and it was likely that he was of the same clan as this Xun Yu. But he hadn't met Xun Chen, so he wasn't sure.

Zhang Fei hurriedly followed. Guan Yu stroked his beard and dismissed.

Liu Bei went out and saw a Confucian student of his age standing in the court, his face like a crown of jade, and his bearing was extraordinary. Although the court was full of people coming and going, he was like a warm piece of jade, quiet and peaceful, without any interference, and had the air of the court. Liu Bei saw him at a glance. He quickened his pace and caught up, bowing from afar.

"Zhuojun Liu Bei, I've seen Mr. Dare to ask if Mr. Xun Junchen, a famous man under the command of the alliance leader, are they relatives? ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly, and returned the courtesy. "It's my brother."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly put Xun Yu inside. The Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan, and the four elders of Yingchuan - Xun Chen Zhonghan have become famous in the past ten years, and it is not easy to make friends with such a celebrity as Liu Bei. Not only did I see it today, but Xun Yu took the initiative to visit, and he was a little flattered, just like when he received Kong Rong's request for help.

Liu Bei invited Xun Yu into the room, sat down as a guest, Jian Yong accompanied him, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei. Xun Yu looked at them, reported their names to Jian Yong, and after seeing the salute, he laughed softly: "Envoy Jun Yingwu, these two warriors are also a talent. ”

Liu Bei was happy in his heart, and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to come forward to pay a visit. Guan Yu was very disapproving, and hurriedly arched his hand and reported his name. Zhang Fei was very respectful and paid tribute repeatedly. Xun Yu returned the salute one by one, with a gentle attitude, without the slightest appearance of celebrities.

After a few cold words, Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Xun Yu's intentions. Xun Yu said with a smile: "Yu has been away from his hometown for a long time, he misses his hometown, and he heard that he has made Jun Mu Yanzhou, and he has been at war with Sun Ce, and I want to find out what Sun Ce did in Yuzhou to see if his hometown is okay." ”

Liu Bei felt lost, but it was not good to show it on his face. It was easy for a celebrity to visit, but instead of taking refuge in him, he came to ask Sun Ce about his political achievements in Yuzhou. He thought about it for a while, decided to tell the truth, and roughly told him what he knew. He was very unhappy when he said good things about Sun Ce, but he knew better that if he lied, sooner or later he would be exposed, and he would be even more looked down upon at that time.

Xun Yu listened quietly and asked some more about Liu Bei's situation in Yanzhou. Liu Bei sighed, and said it truthfully, and asked Xun Yu for advice on how to get along with celebrities and scholars by the way. Xun Yu thought about it and talked about him.

"Lingshi Lu Zigan is in Yecheng, so can you see it?"

"I just came back from a visit to Master Lu. Although he was frail, his complexion was good. ”

Xun Yu shook his head. "I just went to see him the other day. He worked too hard for the country, exhausted his mental strength, and urgently needed to recuperate. Yecheng is too lively, I'm afraid it will not be good for his body. It's best to find a quiet and cool place, and if you can go back to your hometown to recuperate, it would be even better. ”

Liu Bei didn't know what to say, and answered vaguely. After a few more gossips, Xun Yu said goodbye and left. Liu Bei sent him to the door, and saw a four-wheeled carriage parked in front of the door, which was very novel, and couldn't help but take a closer look. After Xun Yu got into the car, he turned around and went back to the house, crossed the threshold, one foot in and one foot outside, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Xianhe, is Xun Wenruo persuading me to leave Yuan Shao?"
