Chapter 081: Lingling Liuba

Liu Ba, the beginning of the character, was a native of Lingling Haoyang, Jingzhou (now Shaodong, Hunan). Born in Jingzhou, a family family. Liu Ba's grandfather, Liu Yao, served as the Cangwu Taishou of Jiaozhou. Liu Ba's father, Liu Xiang, also served as the Jiangxia Taishou and Dangkou general in Jingzhou, and was close friends with the rebellious general Sun Jian. Liu Ba was very talented when he was a teenager. When he was 18 years old, he was recommended by the famous people in the county to serve as the chief bookkeeper of the Xiangyang County Office in Jingzhou. However, Liu Ba was a man of great ambitions, and he was not satisfied with serving as a county official in the small city of Jingzhou. This guy is arrogant and arrogant, hoping that one day he may be among the temples of the Eastern Han Dynasty and become a generation of famous ministers. Therefore, when Cao Cao's army went south, he actively persuaded the high-ranking officials and heroes in Jingzhou to submit to Cao Cao, and became a well-known surrender faction in Jingzhou.

But it's a pity, although I am loyal. However, he was not valued by the Cao Cao group after surrendering, and he still served as his original position. This made Liu Ba unwilling. In order to realize his political ideals, Liu Ba decided to take a generous gift and take the path of Changshi Jiaxu. I hope to be able to meet Cao Cao with Jia Xu's recommendation, so that I can have the opportunity to show my talent in front of Prime Minister Cao and gain the appreciation of Prime Minister. But I didn't expect that it was also the time to operate. Cao Cao just needed an envoy to Jiangdong. This guy is just in time!

Liu Ba, under the guidance of his attendants, entered Cao Cao's big tent. When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a military uniform, sitting in a handsome position, with round eyes and a majestic manner. On both sides of the stairs, all the strategists and civil and military columns sat on the left and right, one by one sitting solemnly and dangerously, with solemn faces. The third person sitting upright on the left side is Jia Xu. When Jia Xu saw Liu Ba looking at him, he hurriedly glanced at Liu Ba and signaled this guy to kneel down quickly. Liu Ba understood, took a few steps forward, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Liu Ba, the chief secretary of the Xiangyang County Bureau, the chief bookkeeper of the Xiangyang County Bureau, visited the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Cao Cao carefully observed this guy, at the age of thirty-one or twelve, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance was dignified. I can't help but feel a little good. Although Prime Minister Cao Cao repeatedly emphasized in the "Decree for Seeking Talents" promulgated in the past, employ people only and do not leave talents behind with personal virtue and appearance. However, as a guy who has been working for half his life in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he is actually deeply influenced by the atmosphere of judging people by appearance in this era, and it is difficult to avoid vulgarity. So later, Zhang Song, who was not good-looking, traveled all the way to Xudu to meet him, originally preparing to sell Yizhou to him. But this guy was displeased because Zhang Songqi was not good-looking, and he was beaten out of the mess, and as a result, he missed the great opportunity to unify the world in vain.

"You are Liu Ba, Liu Zichu!" When Cao Cao saw the handsome guy, he was in a good mood, and he didn't feel a little kind when he spoke.

Although Liu Ba's temper is usually a little twisted, the relationship with his colleagues, relatives and friends is not very good. But this guy is a man who can read words. Seeing Cao Cao's face with appreciation, he knew that he had come to the right place today. Hurry up and cheer up the spirit of twelve, and the heart says, success or failure depends on today!

lowered his head, made an extremely respectful look, and replied: "The next official is Liu Ba!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Ba's voice is soft, and it sounds very comfortable. This made Cao Cao feel a little more like it in his heart. It seems that Jia Xu doesn't just get kickbacks, and the person he recommends is not bad!

Cao Cao saw that Liu Ba was still kneeling, so he quickly ordered Liu Ba to get up, and asked the attendants to add a seat to Liu Ba.

Liu Ba thanked Cao Cao, straightened his clothes, and sat upright. The complexion is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has the style of a famous person.

Cao Cao saw that this person's appearance and temperament were very good, and said in his heart, this guy is an excellent candidate to go to Jiangdong, just saying that this appearance is very good! It's just that I don't know if there is something in this belly, and I have to try him!

"Listening to Wenhe, Mr. is a famous man in Jingxiang, talented, and rich in learning. I am fortunate to see it today, and I am very relieved! "Cao Cao's sycophants are also very level! is worthy of being an old fritter mixed up in officialdom. Slippery mouth!

"Hehehe! The prime minister has an overreputation! Liu Ba is just an unknown person from Jingzhou! Can't be called a celebrity! "Don't look at Liu Ba is usually very arrogant, when it is critical, people are still very modest when it is time to be modest.

"Obey the orders of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet! Now it has been more than a few months since the southern expedition to Jingxiang! Liu Biao has been extinguished, Liu Cong is tied, and Jing Xiang is attached! The soldiers are homesick! I want to comply with the request of the soldiers and return to the court! What does the gentleman think? As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the strategists under the steps were surprised! Only Jia Xu's face was as usual.

Liu Ba also chuckled in his heart, what? Lao Tzu just wanted to take refuge in you and make a career, but you wanted to run. Your class teacher has returned to the dynasty, where will Lao Tzu go to make war achievements? Hurry up and speak out to dissuade you.

"Prime Minister, don't do it!"

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "The strong enemy has been destroyed, why can't you return to the court?" ”

Liu Ba Zhengse asked: "The prime minister thinks that the strong enemy has been destroyed?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Hahaha!" The ancients had a problem, they liked to attract the attention of the other party with a big smile when they spoke, and in the jargon, this is called taking the lead! Liu Ba didn't know where he learned this stinky problem, and after laughing, he continued: "Liu Jingsheng is old and mediocre! His sons Liu Qi and Liu Cong are all incompetent! Can such a person be considered a strong enemy of you, Prime Minister? ”

"Oh? In the opinion of the gentleman, who can be called my strong enemy in this land of Jingxiang? Cao Cao continued to maintain his very friendly smile.

"General Zuo, Liu Yuzhou!" Liu Ba is a very discerning person.

"Hahaha! Sir, that's a mistake! Liu Bei's tens of thousands of tired pawns are guarding the land of Jiangling! Where can you be considered a strong enemy? Although Cao Cao said this, he already had a little appreciation for Liu Ba's extraordinary vision in his heart.

"The prime minister is wrong! Liu Yuzhou is a hero of the world, from Zhuo County, Ping Yellow Turban, Hui Princes, Zhan Tiger Prison, Zhu Wenhou, according to Xuzhou, Lian Yuan Shao, for more than ten years in the Central Plains! The heroes who used to compete with each other in the world are now gone, and only Liu Yuzhou is still alive! This person should not be underestimated! Liu Ba is very familiar with Liu Bei's life.

"Hahaha! Even Liu Xuande was once dominant for a while, but now that Jingzhou has returned to the imperial court, he is alone! I'm afraid it's too much to do! ”

"Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters wind and rain! Liu Yuzhou has not had time in his life, so although he has a heroic talent, he is stuck so far! But heroes are heroes after all! Once the prime minister's army retreats and Jingzhou has no owner, it will be the time for the wind and clouds to meet! The officials expected that if the prime minister quit the army and returned to the court at this time, within a year, the nine counties of Jingzhou would no longer be the imperial court! "Liu Ba is indeed very talented, and the situation in Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi in history is indeed as Liu Ba expected. After Cao's army retreated, the power vacuum in Jingzhou was quickly filled by Liu Bei. Liu Bei also soared into the sky with the nine counties of the Han Dynasty and became the founder of the Shu Han Dynasty, which is one of the three parts of the world.

"Our army has been attacking Jiangxia for a long time, its morale has been frustrated, and the soldiers are tired of war! What can I do, sir? ”

Liu Ba thought for a while and replied: "Liu Bei in the west, Sun Quan in the east, besiege Jiangxia, divide and rule!" As soon as Jiangxia is broken, Liu Bei is lonely! If Liu Bei is defeated, Sun Quan will definitely be difficult to hold for a long time! In this way, within a few months, Jing and Yang will be owned by the prime minister! ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao got up and strode over to Liu Ba. Liu Ba hurriedly got up! Cao Cao stepped forward to hold Liu Ba's hand and said, "Meng De is foolish, judging people's talents in the name of people, almost mistaken himself!" It's a great relief to see Mr. today! The talent of the gentleman is not under the temple sage! ”

"The prime minister has an overreputation! I dare not be ashamed! ”

"What Shicai said is just Mr. Temptation! What Mr. Shicai said coincides with the public under the account! Today, I discussed with the princes under my account to send an envoy to Jiangdong secretly to contact Jiangdong heroes to welcome the king! Wenhe recommends Mr. to me! Talk to Mr. Zhicai, Mr. Zhilu Dao's talent is enough to take on this responsibility! I wonder what Mr. thinks? Cao Cao was very satisfied with Liu Ba's performance and decided to give this task to Liu Ba!

When Liu Ba heard this, he knew that Cao Cao was ready to reuse himself, so he quickly knelt down to thank him, and replied loudly: "The liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and I will never give up!" ”
