Xu Shu asked Zheng Xuan, "Dare to ask Master, who is the other one?" ”

Zheng Xuan smiled slightly and said, "This person has just emerged recently, and most of Yuan Zhi has not heard of it. ”

"Did the master mean Yuan?" Xu Shu unexpectedly said the second choice in Zheng Xuan's mind.

"How?" Zheng Xuan was surprised and said, "Yuan Zhi has also heard of Yuan No's name? Could it be that Yuan No's reputation has spread to the remote land of Liaodong? ”

"I've heard of it." Xu Shu smiled and said, "The students are in Liaodong, and they are like thunder. ”

After a pause, Xu Shu said again: "Master may not know that more than half a month before the student returned to the Central Plains, all the scholars in the entire Liaodong were talking about this Yuan Fu. ”

"Really?" Zheng Xuan smiled and glanced back at the guest house next door, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"What else can we talk about, it's nothing more than Yuan Wei dying in Shouchun, releasing prisoners of war in Longkang, and then defeating Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, in Lujiang." Xu Shu didn't seem to be very interested in Yuan Wei's words, and continued, "But the students think that these rumors may not be true, and most of them are false. ”

Zheng Xuan said: "Why is Yuan Zhi so sure? ”

Xu Shu said: "It is impossible for a person to be born a great sage, but it is also impossible to be enlightened overnight, this Yuan No, if it is really as rumored, is a person with great wisdom, great perseverance and courage, how can he be unknown before?" Even if he is only Yuan Shu's concubine, I am afraid that he has already come to the fore. ”

Zheng Xuan said: "Yuan Zhi doesn't hear it, what he hears is false, and what he says is true? ”

Xu Shu said: "What the master said is extremely true, so the students will not listen to such false rumors. ”

"Yuan Zhi is a little premature." Zheng Xuan said with a smile, "It's not too late to draw conclusions when you see Yuan." ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Master, forgive me, but I won't trek through mountains and rivers to meet him in Lujiang." ”

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Why did Yuan Zhi go to Lujiang to see him? ”

What do you mean by that? Could it be that this Yuan has already left Lujiang? Xu Shu said in surprise.

Zheng Xuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Why stop here? ”

Xu Shu became more and more surprised, and said: "Could it be that this Yuan actually went north to Jizhou with the seal?" He actually knew that going north to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao would have a way to live? ”

Zheng Xuan said again: "Why not stop here? ”

Xu Shu said in horror: "Could it be that this Yuan really broke through Cao Cao and Lu Bu's encirclement and interception, and really arrived in Jizhou?" If that were the case, the student would have wanted to meet him for a while. ”

Zheng Xuan laughed: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away." ”

Xu Shu was confused by Zheng Xuan's laughter, and immediately asked, "What does the master mean by this?" ”

Zheng Xuan stopped laughing and said: "It's not a secret, if the son is in the cold house right now, if Yuan Zhi wants to meet, he can get his wish early tomorrow morning." ”

Zheng Xuan's voice fell, and a cold voice sounded from behind the partition wall.

"Why wait for tomorrow, but I can't wait." When the voice fell, Yuan Nuo couldn't wait to push the door from the guest house into the thatched hall, first waved at Zheng Xuan, and then to the ground at Xu Shuchang, and said, "Under Yuan No, meet Mr." ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment by this sudden change, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Yuan Wei had already bowed down for a long time.

At that moment, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Yuan No, no matter what, he Xu Shu is still just a Han Confucian, but Yuan Shu is a famous family no matter how he says, people must not be arrogant, but they must not be arrogant, the necessary etiquette is still required, otherwise, wouldn't the world want to laugh at him Xu Shu is not elegant?

"Childe, please get up quickly, it's a frustration." Xu Shu reached out and hugged it.

Yuan Wei got up, and then looked at Xu Shu squarely, which was also the first time that Yuan Wei looked at Xu Shu head-on.

gives Yuan Wei the feeling that Xu Shu is not like a military advisor, but like a fierce general, which is an outlier in the Three Kingdoms.

At this time, Liu Ye also came out of the guest house and greeted Zheng Xuan and Xu Shu, Yuan Mu introduced Liu Ye to Xu Shu, Xu Shu and Liu Ye greeted him, Zheng Xuan ordered the servants to add a seat, and invited Yuan or Liu Ye to sit at the table.

The four of them sat down again, and Zheng Xuan ordered the servants to cook tea again.

Waiting for the servant to serve the fragrant tea, Zheng Xuan said: "Yuan Zhi, is the son already in front of you, if you have any questions, you can ask him questions in person, and see if he knows the master?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wei couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan's words seem to have no tendencies, but in fact, they are equivalent to being a lobbyist for him, how can Yuan not see it? It seems that the hundreds of sets of books he sent away and the grand idea of the future Confucian school principal still moved Zheng Xuan, the old master, otherwise, how could he be a lobbyist for himself?

Xu Shu hummed lightly and asked Yuan if he said: "Dare to ask Gongzi, you have already defeated Sun Ce in Lujiang, if you can make friends with Liu Biao in Jingzhou in time, it will be enough to protect yourself, but why do you have to trek mountains and rivers thousands of miles north to Jizhou, don't you know that going north to Jizhou is to send people under the fence?" How can you stay in Lujiang and be more comfortable as your own lord? ”

Yuan Shu's expression became serious, and Xu Shu's question was very direct.

Xu Shu almost explicitly asked Yuan No: Let's be honest, do you want to replace Yuan Shao to stand on your own?

When Liu Ye defected, he didn't ask this question, and with Liu Ye's character, he couldn't ask such a tricky question.

But Yuan Wei knew very well that if he couldn't give Xu Shu a satisfactory answer to this question, he would inevitably have to say goodbye to the top first-class military advisor in the Three Kingdoms period.

Yuan Wei quickly sorted out his thoughts.

Liu Bei stands up for benevolence and righteousness, and also takes benevolence and righteousness as the foundation everywhere, Tao apologizes for three Xuzhou, he repeatedly refused, after Liu Biao's death, Liu Bei originally had the opportunity to take Jingzhou, Liu Bei also repeatedly retreated, it can be seen that his benevolence and righteousness are not vain, but in Longzhong, when Zhuge Liang asked about his ambitions, he did not shy away from the ambition of being the emperor.

It can be seen that in the face of celebrities and sages like Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, you'd better not make a fool of yourself.

Thinking about it, Yuan Wei said: "Although Lujiang is good, it is a place of four wars, and the land is small and the people are few, it is difficult to have great development, although Jizhou is thousands of miles away, but the people are rich and dense, and there are countless fierce generals and celebrities, which can be the foundation of the king!" ”

Yuan Shao also let it out today, because what he said just now was simply a big rebellion, once it reached Yuan Shao's ears, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

However, Yuan believes that Xu Shu will not spread his words whether he agrees or not.

As for Liu Ye and Zheng Xuan, Yuan Wei is even less worried, these two people are already a community of interests with him.

Seeing that Yuan Wei did not hide his ambition, Xu Shu's eyes immediately lit up, as a military advisor, what he was most afraid of was that his lord did not have enough ambition, because ambition is often accompanied by opportunities, only if the lord's ambition is big enough, his military advisors will get enough opportunities and space to give full play to their talents.

However, having empty ambition but not having the courage and ability to match ambition is just a recklessness, but Xu Shu will not follow such a reckless person.

At that moment, Xu Shu asked Yuan again: "Ask Gongzi again, why do you deal with yourself after you arrive in Jizhou?" ”

Xu Shu's question is based on Yuan Shu's eyesight and ability.

For this question, Yuan Wei was much more confident, and said without thinking at the moment: "I invite you to follow Gongsun Zhan, and after you succeed, you will ask yourself to shepherd Liaodong, recuperate and wait for the opportunity." ”

After Yuan Wei finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shu nervously.

Yuan Wei hoped to see something from Xu Shu's face.

But unfortunately, Xu Shu's expression did not change, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Zheng Xuan seemed to see something, and asked Xu Shu with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, how is it?" ”

Xu Shu didn't answer Zheng Xuan's question, but got up and said, "Master, the student is very tired from the journey back to Qingzhou from Liaodong, so he will retire for the time being. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Shu went straight away.

"Sir? Mr! Yuan Wei shouted twice, but Xu Shu turned a deaf ear.

Until Xu Shu's figure disappeared, Yuan Wei hadn't come back to his senses, so he left?

Zheng Xuan laughed and said, "Son, the old man is here to say hello to you, congratulations on meeting a good talent." ”

"Congratulations?" Yuan was surprised and said, "What does the master mean by this? ”

Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't the son see it? Yuan Zhi has already agreed. ”

"Promised?" Yuan Wei will be suspicious and say, "Then why did he leave without saying a word?" ”

"Childe doesn't understand Yuan Zhi." Zheng Xuan waved his hand, and said, "Yuan Zhi is upright, and his grievances are clear, even if he agrees to be your military advisor to Gongzi, he will never visit the lord with his bare hands, if the old man is not mistaken, he will definitely go back to the guest house to plan the future for Gongzi." ”

"Really?" Yuan No, however, was still skeptical.

It's just that the final facts prove Zheng Xuan's eyesight.

Early the next morning, Yuan heard someone knocking on his door.

Opening the chai door of the guest house, Yuan Wei saw Xu Shu standing outside the door, Xu Shu's big eyes were as bright as yesterday, but the corners of his eyes were faintly bloodshot, most of them were as Zheng Xuan said, he didn't sleep all night last night.

Seeing Xu Shu's visit, Yuan Wei was really overjoyed, and hurriedly let Xu Shu into the guest house.

Next, Yuan Nor Xu Shu had a long talk in the guest house of the old master Zheng Xuan, the content of which was in addition to the two parties of Yuan or Xu Shu, only Liu Ye knew, after a long talk, Yuan Shu quickly appointed Xu Shu as the military advisor of his own army, and it was not the kind of military advisor who only had the right to advise, but a military advisor who had the power to make decisions on the spot
