As for Liu Yao and the others, they naturally left slowly under the escort of Liu Yao's personal guards. Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and other Confucians are old after all, and today's workload is not small, and they are also very excited, and they are already tired. After Liu Yao arranged these people, he directly returned to the General's Mansion with Guo Jiafu and Shi A. Because he still has a curious Zhiyuan who wants to meet him. He had already asked people to bring this Zhiyuan over early.

In the General's Mansion, Liu Yao and the four of them slowly returned to this reception hall, but found that there was already a young scribe who was seven feet six inches tall, slender and dressed in cloth was already standing there, obviously this person should be Na Zhiyuan.

Liu Yao looked at this person curiously while bypassing him, I don't know why, there is always a feeling of familiarity, as if it is familiar, but for a while I can't remember it, which makes people depressed.

Liu Yao sat on the main seat, looked at Zhi Yuan, who was holding his head down and trembling all over, and asked with some doubts, "You are Zhi Yuan, why are you trembling, is it because your body is not ......?"

"You're Yuanzhi!" Before Liu Yao finished speaking, Guo Jia on the side cried out in surprise. He had already felt that this person's back was somewhat familiar. Now I'm looking at what he does, his name, and half of his face facing him. He guessed the identity of this person at once, not who Yingchuan Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi were at the beginning.

"You're Yuanzhi!" Liu Yao exclaimed in disbelief.

And at this time, the Zhiyuan fell to his knees, barely controlling his body that was constantly trembling because of excitement. raised his head, looked at Liu Yao, and exclaimed excitedly, "Xu Shu has seen the lord." ”

Only then did Liu Yao see the faces of the people who came. That familiar face, although the immature face he saw six years ago was gone, and now it was a slightly mature, excited face, but how could he forget who this person was. This is not the Xu Shu he saved in Yingchuan or someone. At the beginning, Xu Shu said that he would come to him after completing his studies, but this wait was six years, to be honest. It's been too long, and he's about to forget about it.

But now it's okay, he's here. I can rest assured. And the most important thing is that as soon as he opened his mouth, he called himself the lord, which obviously chose to join his command. What Liu Yao said to Xu Shu at the beginning, he waited for him to learn something in the future. You can consider whether to join your own command. Although he, Liu Yao, has always had confidence in Xu Shu's character. But I still can't help but be a little worried, worried that I will lose a talent like Xu Shu. But now that this sentence is the master, he Liu Yao can be completely relieved.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Liu Yao excitedly stepped forward to help this Xu Shu up, and said, "Yuan Zhi, I haven't seen you for six years, as soon as you suddenly appear, I really can't recognize you." ”

"My lord. You can still remember me as a little person in your busy schedule, I Xu Shu is already very moved. Xu Shu exclaimed excitedly. He thought he was coming. Then Liu Yao won't remember himself. After all, when I left, I was just a good-for-nothing ranger, and it was still unknown whether I could succeed in learning. In front of so many talents in Liu Yao now, I am nothing at all. But what he never expected was that Liu Yao not only remembered himself, but also was so excited, which couldn't help but make him feel warm and grateful.

Liu Yao looked at Xu Shu, who was so excited, and his heart was also very excited. How could he, Xu Shu, know his status in Liu Yao's heart. Liu Yao knew early on that he Xu Shu would definitely be able to learn something, and then return to Youzhou, so this idea has always been in his heart and has never been erased.

"Sit, sit, Yuan Zhi sit down and talk about it, tell me how you have been doing all these years?" Liu Yao pressed Xu Shu on the chair and asked with interest.

And Guo Jia and Fu Xuana also sat down at the same time. Naturally, they also know Xu Shu. can transform from a ranger who only knows how to kill people with martial arts to the current four champions, then the story must be wonderful.

Xu Shu saw the original benefactor, and he also had a thousand words to say in his heart. immediately organized his words and said, "My lord, I was saved by my lord, and I knew how small I was alone. So I decided to go all over Dahan and enrich myself. ”

"It took me about two and a half years to look at the entire south, look at the world, check the people's situation, and finally settle down in Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou, is it the Jingzhou Academy?" Frustration interrupted suddenly.

Xu Shu glanced at Fu Zhu with some surprise, and said with a smile, "Hui Fu Zhu, it is the Jingzhou Academy." ”

"Hey, Yuan Zhi, you have won the approval of the lord, this time it is the four champions, and it must be my colleague in the future, why be so polite, or the same as Fengxiao, commensurate with my words, just click at will." Fu Zhu said indifferently. I have to say that after staying by Liu Yao's side for a long time, these individuals don't care more and more about things like identity shelves, as long as they are comfortable.

Xu Shu glanced at Liu Yao with some caution, how to say that he was also a newcomer, so it was not good to be so rude.

Liu Yao smiled and nodded to Xu Shu, signaling him to be like this.

Then Xu Shu relaxed and replied, "It is that Jingzhou Academy, I have studied there for four years, that Mr. Shuijing, Sima Wei is indeed a great power, and I have learned a lot under him." And that Jingzhou is indeed outstanding and talented. Three months ago, I felt that I had achieved a little success, and I heard that the lord held this imperial examination, and I was worried about the grace of the lord, so I rushed to Youzhou non-stop. But I also want to achieve results with this real talent, so I use a fake name, and I ask the lord not to blame. ”

"Haha, Yuan Zhi has a heart, how can I blame. But did you really do a bad thing? Liu Yao said a little playfully.

When Xu Shu heard this, he suddenly became nervous and asked, "This, lord, what did I do wrong?" ”

"Haha!" Liu Yao laughed and said, "You are in the limelight, and you have the name of four champions at once, but you have made me lose three places, how do you say you will compensate me." ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and looked at Xu Shu playfully. When Liu Yao set up the list, he didn't say that he couldn't get the noun repeatedly, and this Xu Shu occupied four places at once, which means that he Liu Yao received three fewer people. Of course, this Liu Yao doesn't care so much, after the tenth, even if he has a little talent, it's nothing, if it's gone, it's gone.

Xu Shu touched his head a little embarrassed, although he knew that Liu Yao was joking with himself, but it was really embarrassing.

"By the way, Yuan Zhi, you just said that Jingzhou people are outstanding people, are there any talented people who are good friends with you?" Liu Yao asked with some curiosity. He naturally knew that there were a lot of talents in Jingzhou Academy, and he was afraid that it was second only to their Youzhou Academy. If you can get a few through Guò Xu Shu, it will be better.

Xu Shu nodded solemnly after listening to it, and said sternly, "There are really three people who have a good relationship with me." And each has the ability to go through heaven and earth, and can take charge of a state and a county, so I might as well do it. ”

"Oh, who are they?" Liu Yao asked curiously, the person who can make Xu Shu praise so much, then his skills will not be bad. As for the sentence that I might as well be, Liu Yao directly ignored it. This Xu Shu's biggest ability is to march and make plans, and he is really not good at internal affairs, so naturally there is no need to compare.

Xu Shu slowly opened his mouth and spit out three names, "Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei, Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, these three people have their own talents, but it's a pity that they ......" At the end of the speech, Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, how could he not know that Liu Yao wanted to recruit it.

Liu Yao was shocked when he heard this, the three names reported by Xu Shu, plus himself, aren't they Zhuge Liang's four friends, no wonder he has some impressions. The talents of these three people naturally don't need to be thought about. But when he heard the end, Xu Shu shook his head and sighed, Liu Yao was suffocated in his heart, knowing that there might be no play. But I still couldn't help but ask, "Yuanzhi, what is the pity?" ”

Xu Shu talked helplessly and said, "It's a pity that Cui Jun left a year ago, and it is said that he and Yuan Shao raised troops in Hebei to fight against Dong Zhuo." I think it should be under Yuan Shao at this moment. As for Shi Tao and Meng Jian, when I left Jingzhou, I also invited the two of them to come to Youzhou to participate in the imperial examination, but the two of them had no intention of being officials, and only wanted to live in the mountains, so I had no choice but to give up. ”

"I see." Liu Yao muttered. But he did snort coldly in his heart. Then Cui Jun is okay, and it is normal to vote for Yuan Shaona. As for Meng Jian and Shi Tao, Liu Yao was a little disdainful. What kind of people are these two people who are bent on retreating, they were not officials under Cao Cao later in history, but unfortunately it was just a small official position.

It's clear that these two people are now unsure, their goals are unknown, and they don't know who they should throw themselves into. Or that the two of them don't dare to gamble, and they don't dare to choose one person to be loyal when the current situation is unclear. Such a person is not as good as Cui Jun in Liu Yao's eyes. Such a person, although talented, has no vision, and he does not dare to give it a go. In the end, the form is clear, and then go to the icing on the cake, it's a pity, how can it be compared to the icing on the cake. At that time, no matter who it is, the bottom of the hand has already been completed, and there is still a place for the two of them. can only be a small and small official position for the rest of his life.

"Please don't blame the lord, it's me who is incompetent, and there is no way to add two more talents to the lord." Xu Shu looked at Liu Yao's appearance, thinking that he was angry, and hurriedly apologized.

Liu Yao looked at Xu Shu's appearance, and he was also amused in his heart, and said indifferently, "Yuan Zhi, what should come will always come, you can't force it, not to mention that with Yuan Zhi helping me, then Meng Jianshi and Tao are nothing." ”

"The lord has an overreputation" Xu Shu blushed and said with some embarrassment.

Immediately, Liu Yao seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Yuan Zhi, have you ever seen two teenage children beside Mr. Shuijing, one Zhuge Liang and one Pang Tong?" (To be continued......)
