After dinner, Zheng Xuan asked Yuan Nuo to cook tea in the study for a long talk, and Liu Ye accompanied him, but Tai Shici said goodbye to Yuan Nuo and went back to Liaodong to visit his mother.

Next, the protagonist who communicates with Zheng Xuan becomes Liu Ye.

Although Yuan Wei came through time and has a lot of knowledge of military history, he really has no credit in scripture.

Liu Ye asked Zheng Xuan for advice on many incomprehensible points in the classics such as the Six Arts Rites and Music Books, Zheng Xuan answered them one by one according to his knowledge, and what he said was very reasonable.

This long conversation lasted until the time passed, and after Yuan Xuan yawned several times in a row, Zheng Xuan and Liu Ye ended their academic exchanges, and Zheng Xuan ordered the old family servant to introduce Yuan and Liu Ye into the guest house to rest.

However, Yuan Wei and Liu Ye had just stripped and lay down, but there was a soft knock on the door outside.

Yuan Wei's hearing was extremely sensitive, and he said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, listen, there seems to be someone knocking on the door outside the door."

"Can't it" Liu Ye listened for a moment, but didn't hear anything, and immediately shook his head and said, "What time is it, how can there be any visitors?"

Yuan Wei insisted: "You listen carefully." ”

Liu Ye listened attentively and really heard a knock on the door.

There was not only a knock on the door, but even a conversation.

The Zheng family's old house is a grass house, and the sound insulation effect is extremely poor.

Immediately, the gate of the grass house courtyard creaked open.

A clear voice said: "Old butler, disturb in the middle of the night, forgive your sins." ”

"Where is the gentleman, please, please." It was the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion who replied.

Immediately, the housekeeper led the guest into the cottage, which was next door to the guest house, and Yuan could even hear the footsteps of the two as they walked into the cottage.

A moment later, another sound of footsteps came in, but it was most likely Zheng Xuan who came in.

Sure enough, the guest's voice sounded again: "Student Xu Shu, meet the master." ”

As soon as Xu Shu heard this name, the hairs on Yuan Shu's body instantly stood up.

The Three Kingdoms era can be said to be the most talented era in China's thousands of years of history, and it can really be said that the fierce generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, but among so many strategists, there are only a handful of first-class strategists, and there are only a dozen strategists with an intelligence value of more than 90 percent.

Among these strategists with an intelligence of more than 90, there are even fewer who are good at strategy.

For example, Liu Ye has an intelligence value of more than ninety, but he is not good at strategy.

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, there were only six strategists with an intelligence value of more than ninety and good at strategy, only Xun You, Guo Jiajia, Xu Fazheng, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and the rest of Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Jiang Wei Although they were good at strategizing, their intelligence value was definitely more than ninety, but these people belonged to commanders, not strategists.

Not to mention Boss Cao, who is not only the commander, but also the lord.

Among these six people, Xun Yu Guo Jiajia Xu has returned to Cao Cao, Fa Zheng is still far away in Xichuan, the mountain is high and the road is far away, Yuan Wei just wants to invite him out of the mountain and can't enter the door, there is also a Pang Tong, at this time, I am afraid that he is still studying under the Shuijing Gate, and it is still early to learn out of the mountain, in history, Pang Tong came out of the mountain later than Zhuge Liang.

Except for the five people, only Xu Shu is left.

Xu Shu didn't come early or late, but he appeared in Zheng Xuan's mansion at this time, this is simply the military advisor given to him by God Yuan Wei, if he doesn't dare, he will definitely be punished by God

Xu Shu was in front of him, Yuan Wei was not calm, and hurriedly got up in his clothes.

Liu Ye was surprised and asked, "Childe, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Fu hurriedly made a silent gesture with Liu Ye, and then pointed outside.

Yuan Wei put on his coat and bed, walked barefoot behind the wall, and listened to the conversation between Zheng Xuan and Xu Shu outside through the wall.

On the grass hall, Zheng Xuan and Xu Shu finished their ceremony.

Xu Shu looks about thirty years old, with a white complexion, a short beard under his chin, but his figure is extremely strong, he doesn't look like a Confucian student, but like a chivalrous knight.

In fact, Xu Shu was indeed quite famous when he was young, but because he killed the bully in the township for his friends, and was pursued by the government, he had to go incognito to Mr. Shuijing to study.

Zheng Xuansu invited Xu Shu to sit at the table, and then asked: "Yuan Zhi, how did you gain from this trip to Liaodong?"

Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, Gongsun Dukong has the name of being polite and virtuous, but in fact, he is small and stubborn, and he is definitely not a person who can achieve great things." ”

Zheng Xuan smiled when he heard this, but did not answer.

Zheng Xuan also went to Liaodong for refuge in his early years, and was also courteous to Gongsun Du's father and son, so it is very clear what kind of character Gongsun Du's father and son are, but when Xu Shu went to Liaodong before, Zheng Xuan did not say anything to stop it, because there are some things that he is not good to say, and even now, it is also difficult to say more.

Xu Shu sighed again and said: "The princes of the world, Shu has visited too much of the people, and no one can be called the master of the people, but what?"

Zheng Xuan smiled and asked: "Which princes did Yuan Zhi visit, and none of them could really enter your law eye?"

Xu Shu wrenched his fingers and said: "Yizhou Liu Zhang, weak and incompetent, it is not enough to keep it, let alone compete in the world."

"Jingzhou Liu Biao, although he is quite famous as a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, is old and old, has no ambition, and cannot be guarded."

"Xuzhou Lu Bu, there is no martial courage to look at the world, but there is no ambition to chase the world, only know that guarding the woman's wine, empty time, sooner or later will be merged by Cao Cao."

"Zhang Yang of Bingzhou, this incompetent person, sooner or later will be exterminated by Yuan Shao."

"Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, there are hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, but they only know how to defend Yijing, and there are not many days left."

"Xiliang Ma Teng, after being a famous general, is also quite famous among the Qiang people in the borderlands, but after all, there are few generals, and the Xiliang land is barren and poor, so it is difficult to achieve great things after all."

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi seems to have missed the three of them. ”

Xu Shu asked Zheng Xuan rhetorically: "The master said Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Ce"

"Yes, yes." Zheng Xuan said with a smile, "Sun Ce's father and son are arrogant and look down on Jiangdong; Cao Cao Xiongxiong is based in the Central Plains, with Tianxian in his mouth; Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, looking to return to the sea, these three are all masters. ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "What the master said is extremely true, Sun Ce, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both masters, if nothing else, he will be one of the three people who have the world in the Han Dynasty, however, the students will not vote for them." ”

Zheng Xuan smiled silently, and did not ask Xu Shu why he was reluctant to defect to Sun Ce, Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao.

Because Zheng Xuan knows the reason at all, and the reason is not complicated, that is, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Under Yuan Shao's account, Tian Feng has been awarded and judged, and Ji Xin has commented on Guo Tu, Xu You and others; Cao Cao already has Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu under his command; Even Sun Ce's command already has Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Hongbu, Yu Turn, etc., Xu Shu is going to invest at this time, and he can't enter the core strategist circle at all.

This is the same as Zhuge Liang in history who did not vote for Sun Quan and Cao Cao, but preferred to defect to Liu Bei.

Because a real talent like Zhuge Liang Xu Shu has ambitions that are far beyond ordinary people, if they can't be provided with enough power guarantees, their talents will not be able to be brought into play at all.

Because of this, Xu Shu categorically would not vote for Sun Ce, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao.

Xu Shu sighed again, and said to Zheng Xuan: "Master, before going to Liaodong, the student once said that if Gongsun Du is not a big thing, it is enough to show that the student is not at the right time, and the student should give up the idea of entering the WTO, worship under the master's door and concentrate on studying, and he can also leave a few words in the history books in the future, and the master will respond to the student."

Zheng Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Yuan Zhi, if you worship the old man and concentrate on studying, won't all your ambitions and all your learning be in vain?"

Xu Shu sighed: "There are no heroes in the world, what can I do"

Zheng Xuan's face straightened and said: "The old man knows that there are two people, although they are down-and-out and have no way to stand on the ground, but they have great ambition, great perseverance and courage, and they may become the lord of Yuanzhi." ”

"Oh," Xu Shu said in surprise, "there are still such people in the world who would like to hear about it." ”

"One of them is Liu Bei." Zheng Xuan said, "Yuan Zhi has heard of this person"

Dividing line

After the partition wall.

Hearing Zheng Xuan say Liu Bei, Yuan Wei was so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart.

You old thing, I gave you a hundred sets of books in vain, and if you don't say good things for me, you still recommend Liu Bei in front of Xu Shu, don't you know that Xu Shu is Liu Bei's military division in history

Oh yes, Zheng Xuan is not a traverser, of course he won't know this.

Anyway, hearing Zheng Xuan's recommendation of Liu Bei, Yuan Xuan's heart immediately hung in the air.

Xu Shu, Xu Shu, you can't agree, you can't agree to Zheng Xuan's recommendation.

Dividing line

On the grass hall, Xu Shu quickly answered Zheng Xuan.

"When students traveled in Xuzhou, they had heard about it." Xu Shu said, "It is said that this person is quite benevolent and loves the people, but this person's ability is mediocre, Tao Qian will let Xuzhou to him and can not defend, and he has been repeatedly defeated by such fierce generals as Yu Zhang Fei, which shows that this person's ability is mediocre, and he is afraid that he is not a person who has achieved great things." ”

Dividing line

Behind the partition wall.

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Yuan Wei couldn't help but applaud.

Yes, yes, yes, that's right, Liu Bei has something good to apologize for giving him such a rich state, and he still has Guan Yu Zhang Fei under his hands who was one of the best generals in the Three Kingdoms period, and in the end he couldn't hold a mere Xuzhou, and he was called a hero in vain, a hero is a fart, and he is simply a bear

Xu Shu, you just wait for this son's recruitment.

This son is your real lord.

Dividing line

Outside the partition wall, thatched hall.

Zheng Xuan waved his hand and said: "The reason why Liu Bei can't hold Xuzhou is not because of his lack of ability, but because he lacks a capable military advisor, if he can get Yuan Zhi's help, the situation will be different immediately, so the old man thinks that Liu Bei is the choice of Yuan Zhi's lord, if Yuan Zhi votes for Liu Bei, he will be able to show what he has learned all his life." ”

Xu Shu was noncommittal and asked, "Dare to ask the master, who is the other person?"

Hearing Xu Shu ask about the other person, Yuan Fu's heart immediately hung up
