On the night after Yuan Shao's death in Yecheng, Xun Yu, who was in Xindu Jizhou, sat on the bench prepared for him by Liu Bei, and still reviewed the account books and books sent from all over the country by the light.

To tell the truth, although Liu Bei trusted himself after kidnapping himself from Jingzhou and coming here, he even made himself the head of the 4 counties. And he worked late into the night every day, so that himself, who used to live a depressed life every day, suddenly held power, and had the excitement of once ascending to the Nine Heavens. It also makes me feel a little 'virtuous and good, and the goods are sold and the family is known'.

But he was still resentful of Liu Bei's previous treatment of himself, whether it was in front of his family or in front of his colleagues outside, he reprimanded Liu Bei for kidnapping him, but those people just laughed after hearing it.

Now although Xun Yu is still scolding Liu Bei, he and his family still eat the brocade clothes and jade food prepared by Liu Bei for them. Sometimes Hou Lian Xunyu scolded Liu Bei when he was eating, and subconsciously began to boast about Liu Bei's food.

Especially when Xun Yu took charge of these four counties, he learned more about Liu Bei's strength in the two continents of Qingdao and Hebei and the lives of the people. Although he was still a little unconvinced on the surface, he couldn't help but admit that Liu Bei was a rare 'famous master'.

Drinking the ginseng tea sent by the subordinates for himself, I don't know why Xun Yu smiled.

Think about how I met Liu Bei from Yingchuan Academy before, and was valued by the imperial court and served in the imperial court. Later, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, and he fled to Jingzhou with the foresight, thinking that he could show his strengths there, but unfortunately he was squeezed out by the local literati. It was easy for Cao Cao to value himself, but Liu Bei took the lead and helped him tie himself up to Qingzhou, and he wanted to find someone to help him on the way. Who knew that as soon as he heard that Liu Bei was looking for himself, he was not in a hurry to hide.

Hey~~~~ Xun Yu smiled and sighed again, looking at the ginseng tea in the teacup. I heard that this is something transported from Sanhan, which is even more remote than Liaodong, and the former Qingzhou Mu was sick, so Liu Bei let him drink this thing to slowly recuperate his body. Those literati even looked up what the book said, this thing has the effect of nourishing the body, replenishing qi and nourishing the skin. It's almost now, and people with a bit of status in Qingzhou are proud to drink this thing called 'ginseng tea'.

"This Liu Bei, who is greedy for food and clothes, really doesn't know what to say," Xun Yu scolded in a low voice, and continued to savor the ginseng tea with a smile.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and woke up Xun Yu, who was contemplating.

"Who is disturbing?" Xun Yu asked unhappily.

The family outside the door reported, "My lord, there are two scholars outside the door who say that they are old acquaintances of adults and ask to see them." ”

"Old knowledge?" Xun Yu frowned and asked, "Did they say his name?" ”

"Having said that, they said that it was Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, and they were the same old acquaintances of Yingchuan as adults....."

Before the family could finish speaking, Xun Yu had already stood up happily, opened the door and shouted to the family, "Hurry ~~ Hurry up, please serve tea." ”

In the side hall, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, Cheng Yu looked at Xun Yu sitting in the master's seat and scolded with a smile, "It's really impressive to see each other after not seeing each other for three days, although I and Feng Xiao have known Brother Xun Yu's great talent, but not long after the last meeting, I didn't expect that Brother Xun Yu has now become the head of the four counties where Liu Qingzhou sits, it seems that I and Brother Feng Xiao are not as good as you." ”

Xun Yu knew that Cheng Yu was making fun of himself, but there was no trace of anger on his face, but he also scolded Liu Bei, "It's not that Liu Bei Liu Xuande, when I was in Jingzhou that day, I was seen by his subordinate Jian Yong, and later Cao Cao submitted a letter to me and asked me to go to him." Who knew that he was kidnapped by Liu Bei's subordinates halfway through, this Liu Bei was really daring. ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he laughed, "Although Wen Ruo is called a kidnapping, he has won the throne of the head of the four counties now." There will be such a beautiful thing next time, Brother Wen Ruo must inform me and sarcastic filial piety. ”

The two talked and laughed, only Guo Jia sat on the side and kept looking at the furnishings in the hall and the ginseng tea on the table.

Xun Yu looked strange and asked, "This is ginseng tea shipped from Sanhan, why doesn't Fengxiao drink it?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and took a sip of ginseng tea carefully, after the ginseng tea was entered, it was like a hot breath from the mouth as straight as the abdomen, which made Guo Jia's body feel comfortable. He put down the teacup, looked at Xun Yuyi, and asked, "Brother Wen Ruo was a great talent at that time, and he went from Yingchuan to Luoyang, and after arriving in Jingzhou, he was coerced by Liu Bei to Qingzhou. You must have met a lot of heroes and heroes on the road, I don't know what Brother Wen Ruo thinks? ”

Cheng Yu heard Guo Jia say the main topic of this visit, and he didn't dare to laugh, and looked at Xun Yu with a straight face, waiting for his answer.

Xun Yu knew Cheng Yu and Guo Jia's talent and learning, especially that Guo Jia, although he has just become an adult, his talent is definitely not below him, but because he was already dissatisfied with the court when he was young, his temper was even more taboo, and there were few people who interacted with him, so there were not many people who really knew that he was talented.

Now that Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are willing to come here to ask themselves this question, it seems that they have the intention of serving Liu Bei.

Xun Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while, and replied, "For example, among the heroes today, Dong Zhuo is the most, but unfortunately this person is fierce and cruel." He held the Son of Heaven hostage, burned Luoyang, occupied Chang'an every day to kill for fun, and the people around him were afraid of it, I think this person is not far from defeat. ”

"What about Jingzhou Liu Biao?" Guo Jia asked, "Then Liu Jingsheng rode alone to Jingzhou, and now he is known as the famous man Kuai Liang Kuai Yue in Jingzhou, and he is married to the sister of Cai Mao, the general of Jingzhou." Wen has the Kuai family, Wu has the Cai family, and occupies 9 counties of Jingzhou. Recently, he attacked and killed Jiangdong's fierce tiger Sun Jiansun Wentai, which can be said to be unique for a while. ”

Xun Yu shook his head and sighed, "Although Liu Biao is talented, it's a pity that he doesn't know how to use people." Jingzhou is a land of a hundred battles, although Liu Biao relied on the appointment of the imperial court to become the pastor of Jingzhou, and he has the support of the two major families in Jingzhou. But in the south, most of the families gathered, Liu Biao may be able to barely support Jingzhou for the sake of the imperial court, if Liu Biao dies, Jingzhou will be chaotic. ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded, as if what Xun Yu said was what he expected. Cheng Yu sat on the side and thought a lot after listening, Cheng Yu saw Xun Yu finish speaking, and asked, "What about Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian?" ”

"Haha," Xun Yu replied with a smile, "That Yuan Shu was originally the concubine of the Yuan family, and his status was higher than that of the current Ben Chu Gong, but this person did not know self-love since the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and successively looted the people's fat and ointment in his territory, which made the people complain. was later defeated by Liu Bei, and even Liu Biao of Jingzhou refused him to stay outside Nanyang. Now he occupies the two counties of Runan and Shouchun, but he is just surviving.

Recently, it was rumored that Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country in Luoyang, and later Sun Jian was shot by Yuan Shu after his death. Hehe, that Yuan Shu's heart is higher than the sky, I guess this person's ambition is not under Dong Zhuo. The day when his ambition is dashed is the day when he is destroyed. ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu nodded at the same time in agreement.

Xun Yu took a sip of tea and continued with a smile, "As for that Xuzhou Tao Qian~, hehe, this person is a benevolent gentleman, but unfortunately it is so difficult for this gentleman to do in troubled times." ”

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Guo Jia laughed first, and then Cheng Yu also laughed.

"This Xuzhou land is connected to Qingzhou, although nominally Xuzhou is still controlled by Tao Qian, but commercially, Liu Bei's Qingzhou and Liaodong Izumo City can be said to have completely occupied Xuzhou's economy, and recently Liu Bei married the young lady of Xuzhou's Dajia Mi family as his wife. If Tao Qian is an enemy of Liu Bei now, it is estimated that Xuzhou under his governance will be in chaos first, and it can only be said that the people of Xuzhou and the civil and military forces are now committed to Liu Bei, I am afraid that even Tao Qian himself knows that he is not as good as Liu Bei. ”

While speaking, Xun Yu instructed the family outside to prepare wine and dinner for Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.

As soon as Cheng Yu heard about the preparation of wine and rice, he scolded even more, "Okay, you Xun Wenruo, I waited here for a long time before you remembered to prepare a meal for us." ”

Xun Yu didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile apologetically, and when the banquet was set, he immediately invited the two of them to the hall for dinner.

What they ate was the 'meat pie' that Xun Yu ate after Qingzhou, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia saw this thing for the first time, and they only felt the aroma of this thing. Listening to Xun Yu explain how to eat, he hurriedly sent it to his mouth.

Cheng Yu ate this pasta, and couldn't stop admiring Liu Bei's delicious name, which really deserved his name. After Guo Jia ate the meatloaf, although there was some surprise on his face, he still didn't say a word.

Xun Yu saw them eating delicious food and drinking fruit wine. continued: "As for the other heroes, such as Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, Liu Yan of Yizhou, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui's men in Xiliang are elite soldiers, Xiliang is a bitter cold place, and there are Qiang people living together. The food supply is insufficient, and even the best soldiers are useless.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan asked Zhang Lu to cut off his contact with the imperial court and retreat himself in Yizhou. Although the land of Nayizhou, the mountain roads are rugged and the army cannot march, so that foreign enemies cannot easily invade, but at the same time, it also cuts off its own approach, so Liu Yan is just a stubborn person.

As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, he has more than enough courage and not enough resourcefulness, and there is also Liu Yu who is his enemy in Youzhou. When Yuan Shao was fighting for Jizhou, he came with Yan Dai Jianshi, and he was like a bamboo, but unfortunately he was defeated by Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi in the battle of Jieqiao. If it wasn't for Liu Bei's Lei Qi who saved him if it wasn't for Gao Shun, the governor of Izumo in Liaodong under Liu Bei, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Yuan Shao long ago.

There is also the first duke, who is now trapped in Yecheng, suffering without foreign aid, and the day of defeat is not far away. ”

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia both put down the food at hand and were silent.

After a while, Guo Jia asked, "Now Brother Wen Ruo has said almost all the heroes in the world, but he didn't say Cao Cao and Liu Qingzhou in Yanzhou, I don't know what Brother Wen Ruo thinks of these two?" ”

Cheng Yu also asked, "Yes, then Cao Cao recently surrendered the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army of the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan in the Battle of Puyang." Guangzhao talents, Wen Youxi, Zhicai, Xun You, Wu Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, these family brothers, recently received Taishan's Yu Ban Yu Wenze. In Luoyang, there are also property sent by the counties to help renovate Luoyang, I heard that he can take out thirty percent of it for his own use, and now Cao Cao's name is loud and sound all over the world. ”

Xun Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded, "Then Cao Cao relied on his family power to expand his army in a short period of time, and he was always ready to welcome the Han Emperor in the west." I estimate that this person will be able to welcome the Han Emperor back to the west one day, and then Cao Cao will use the name of the Son of Heaven to conquer the princes and restore the Han dynasty. ”

"Then how is Liu Bei compared to Cao Cao?" It was Guo Jia who spoke, just looking at him holding up the glass glass, looking at the wine in the cup, and asked, "Brother Wen Ruo, what do you think Liu Xuande is better than Cao Cao?" ”

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia holding a wine glass in his hand and smiling at himself. was silent for a while, "Although Liu Bei has a lot of problems, he is so good at food and clothing, and he is so luxurious." Among the princes, in the name of madness, he changed the laws of the imperial court every time, and ruled Qingzhou Izumo with military law.

But this person is also in the name of faith and benevolence, as long as there is an agreement with others, he will never go back. Although it does not have a strong family power, it is now much stronger than the other princes. When the princes conquered Dong Zhuo, this person fought on the front line, and when Yuan Shao called on the princes to eat in Qingzhou with the order of the alliance leader, he led the army to kill Yuan Yuan, who was too guarded by Shanyang, went out of Qingzhou and passed through Xuzhou, and defeated Ji Ling, the general of Yuan Shu. And the Izumo Thunder Cavalry under his command is known as the first in the world, and when he was in Liaodong, he was invincible against the Hu people. In the battle of Jizhou Boundary Bridge, Yuan Shao's 130,000 people were defeated with 6,000 people.

Now that Liu Bei has led a large army to besiege Yecheng, it is estimated that the death of the original prince is not far off. ”

After speaking, Xun Yu sighed again, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were surprised, "Liu Bei's power can now be called the head of the princes, just now Wen Ruo praised him, serving this person is a good minister, why sigh again?" ”

Xun Yu said, "Liu Bei is now occupying Jizhou and besieging Yecheng, and he is about to replace Yuan Shao and become the head of the northern princes." However, although this person is crazy on the surface, he finally respects his teacher and never disobeys the appointment of the imperial court.

Now Jizhou and Chang'an are separated by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will step up his westward march when he sees Liu Bei and Jizhou. When he welcomed the Han Emperor in the west, he only needed an edict to ask Liu Bei to enter Luoyang and put him under house arrest. After sending his henchmen to Liu Bei's territory to divide the hearts of the people, over time, Liu Bei's territory will inevitably be divided. At that time, Cao Cao only needs to lead a large army to come, and the north will be in Cao Cao's hands. ”

After Cheng Yu listened, he nodded, "Yes, if Cao Cao uses the imperial court's edict to let Liu Bei enter Beijing, Liu Bei can only obey even if he knows what he wants." ”

"Will Liu Bei really be like that?" At this time, Guo Jia spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup, and laughed, "You are all deceived by Liu Bei's appearance." ”

As soon as he said this, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What does Feng Xiao mean by this?" ”

Guo Jia seemed to have drunk a little too much, his face was already flushed, and he looked at the two people in the room with a smile, "Then Liu Bei is simply deceiving the world with the appearance of madness, and his heart is probably to emulate the actions of Emperor Qin and Han Wu." ”

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were really taken aback, that Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, unified the writing, weights and measures, etc., although he is a famous emperor in China, but he is also the first monarch in the world. Not to mention Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was he who let the Han Dynasty destroy the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu have been in a state of collapse ever since, and he is also a rare monarch. Now Guo Jia actually compares Liu Bei with these two virtuous gentlemen, isn't that clearly pointing at Liu Bei's nose and saying that he wants to rebel~.

Cheng Yu was close to Guo Jiabi, and just stepped forward to persuade him, "Fengxiao has drunk too much, and he has lost his words." ”

"I didn't drink much," Guo Jia pushed Cheng Yu away and laughed, "When I was in Yingchuan, I was dissatisfied with the control of the government by the eunuchs and relatives in the court. I only hate that I am just a scribe, and I hope for a famous lord every day, I can protect it, and it will not be in vain for me to go through this life.

Now since I came in, I saw that the things placed in Wen Ruo's house were all novelties in Liu Bei's land.

The bench is known as the veteran chair in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is proud to be able to make this chair. is talking about that ginseng tea, which has never been seen in my Han for hundreds of years, and the last delicious wine and family food, which we so-called celebrities have never heard of.

And I also heard that Liu Bei's Izumo Castle has countless novelties, and he even changed the weights and measures of the Han Dynasty in the Izumo Land. The weight is based on catties, and the length is in meters. Although these are just some trivial things, don't they just show that Liu Bei effectively imitated Emperor Qin's actions?

It is said that Liu Bei is good at reforming the law of the Han Dynasty and using military law to lead all places, which can make all places richer than usual, and it is said that the people of Qingzhou governed by Liu Bei actually had two years of surplus food in this year of war in the Central Plains.

When the princes outside were worried about the lack of grain and grass, Liu Bei's Qingzhou people couldn't sell it at a good price because of too much grain and grass. ”

Cheng Yu is not a pedantic person, and at this moment, when he listened to Guo Jia's explanation, he immediately felt that there was some truth. Xun Yu next to him was even more frightened, it seemed that he really underestimated Liu Bei.

I only heard Guo Jia continue to laugh while drinking wine, "Then Liu Bei is now rejecting the two continents of Qingdao and Hebei, and Xuzhou Tao Qian is united with him again." Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is his senior brother again, and Liaodong is already completely Liu Bei's place.

It can be said that Liu Bei's back road is completely stable now, do you really think that a madman can do this? ”

Xun Yu nodded, "It seems that I really underestimated Liu Bei first, but I didn't expect his scheming to be so deep." ”

"I estimate that even if Cao Cao really welcomes the Han Emperor to the west, then Liu Bei must have thought of a countermeasure." Guo Jia suddenly stood up, took two steps, shook his head, and sobered himself up, "Even if Cao Cao can outperform Liu Bei in terms of strength one day, I'm afraid he won't be that Liu Bei's opponent in the end." ”

As he was talking, a family ran into the house, entered the house and knelt down, "My lord, Yecheng is here to report, Lord Liu has broken through Yecheng yesterday." Yuan Benchu died in the chaos of the army, and all parts of Jizhou have surrendered to Lord Liu. ”

Guo Jia, who was already a little drunk, was shocked by the news and immediately woke up a lot, and asked, "Yecheng is the largest city in Hebei, how many days did Liu Bei attack the city?" ”

The family replied, "It is said that the army has been attacking the city for less than five days. ”

"On the 5th," Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Xun Yu couldn't help but gasp. At the same time, he said, "It's so fast." ”

Xun Yu looked at Cheng Yu and Guo Jia and asked, "I know that the two of you are talented, but I don't know if you can think of the person you want to serve now?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Liu Bei broke the rules of the old world in the name of madness, and he is the famous master we are seeking.... I want to meet him and see if he's the same as he says he is. ”

Cheng Yu touched his beard and smiled, "I would like to go with Fengxiao." ”
