was questioned by Xu Shu like this, Xu Sheng finally couldn't hold it back, gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked like he was open. "My lord, there is one thing that I really don't know whether to say or not!"

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly said reproachfully: "No matter what, you have to say it, where are there so many scruples?" ”

"Hmm!" After answering, Xu Sheng paused, and then took a deep breath and said: "The meaning of the lord, the last general understands it very well in his heart. But there is indeed one person in the Liu family who is a great talent, and it would be a pity if he was buried because of the relationship between the last general. ”

"Oh? Talented? ”

No wonder Xu Sheng hesitated, it turned out to be for this. But thinking that it was just one person, Wang Xu didn't have much scruples, so he smiled and asked, "Who is that person?" What is your name? ”

The words of this matter have been spoken, Xu Sheng did not hesitate any longer, and quickly replied: "It is the eldest son of the last general's father-in-law, surnamed Liu, named Ba, and the character is at the beginning of the year, and he is only eighteen years old this year!" ”

"Your father-in-law's eldest son? Liu Ba? As soon as Xu Sheng's words fell, Wang Xu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Xu Sheng in disbelief.

Seeing Wang Xu's surprised look, Xu Sheng, who was a little apprehensive in his heart, suddenly thought that Wang Xu had misunderstood him, and hurriedly continued: "Lord, in fact, the last general has only met him once, not to speak for the Liu family, just because this Liu Ba is really talented." This move is not for personal affection, but for the great cause of the lord! ”

In fact, where is Wang Xu still in the mood to listen to so many explanations at the moment, as soon as the name Liu Ba came out, he was instantly shocked: Liu Xiang, Liu Ba! How could he completely forget this layer, isn't Liu Ba's father Jiangxia Taishou, the general Liu Xiang? I didn't expect that more things have happened over the years, and I haven't often thought about it, and I have inadvertently forgotten so many things. If it weren't for chance, I'm afraid I would have really missed a good talent.

This Liu Ba is not simple, Wang Xu specially studied this person because of curiosity.

In history, Liu Ba's father, Liu Xiang, served as Jiangxia Taishou for many years, because he had accumulated a lot of credit. He also put down the Jiangxia rebellion. even served as a general for a time. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, even Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, initially relied on his recommendation to become filial piety, and because he was a prince, he was able to enter the court and be promoted quickly.

When Sun Jian set out from Changsha to seek Dong, Liu Xiang helped him kill Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, who did not provide grain and grass. and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi. Later, Sun Jian escaped because he was attached to Yuan Shu and participated in the fight against Dong, but Liu Xiang was hated for killing the court officials in vain and was attacked and killed by the rebels.

Soon after, Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou. And it happened that Liu Biao had a disagreement with Liu Xiang in his early years, so he arrested Liu Ba and wanted to find an excuse to assassinate him.

But Liu Ba was very clever and managed to escape this catastrophe, and took refuge in Lingling, becoming the master of Lingling County Hu Cao Peng. Later, as Liu Ba's talent and reputation spread all over the world, Liu Biao rose up again. repeatedly recruited him to be an official in the Assassin's Mansion. was politely excused by him. Even Liu Bei, after defecting to Jingzhou. also went to woo him, but unfortunately Liu Ba looked down on him and refused politely.

Later, Liu Biao died of illness, Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, Liu Ba analyzed the general trend of the world, and immediately went to Guishun decisively, and was deeply valued by Cao Cao, so that he became Cao Peng in the house. Soon after, Cao Cao was forced to return to the north after the defeat of the Battle of Chibi, but he asked him to surrender to the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, and Liu Ba readily agreed.

But at this time, Liu Bei had easily obtained the three counties, and Liu Ba was blocked from retreating, and he couldn't advance or retreat. Zhuge Liang knew his talent and personally wrote to him to persuade him to take refuge, but Liu Ba, who was extremely disgusted with Liu Bei, was unwilling to obey his fate at all, and coupled with the previous incident, he was finally hated by Liu Bei.

In desperation, Liu Ba could only change his name and surname and flee south to Jiaozhou. But the misfortune is not a single line, his opinion is not accepted by Jiaozhi Taishou at all, but is suspicious of him.

At this time, Liu Ba could not get the protection of the Jiaozhou forces, and he was worried that Liu Bei would send spies to chase after him, so in desperation, he had to take a detour from the small road and flee to Yizhou. Later, after several twists and turns, and with the help of nobles, he was able to arrive in Yizhou alive, work under Liu Zhang, and get shelter.

A few years later, Liu Bei led troops into Sichuan, and Liu Ba was one of the staunch opponents. It's a pity that Liu Zhang didn't listen to the advice, and finally led to the death of the country, poor Liu Ba escaped from Liu Bei for several years, and finally fell into his hands. Fortunately, Liu Bei is indeed a hero, but at this time, he no longer cares about the past, and accepts Liu Ba half forced and half invited.

It's just that since then, Liu Ba has hardly said anything to everyone unless he has business matters. Zhang Fei once deliberately went to live at his house for a day, but Liu Ba ignored him, didn't say a word to him, let him take care of himself, and found a servant if he had something, which made Zhang Fei angry.

But even in this case, he still achieved the Shu State Shangshu Order, which is really impressive, and it can be imagined that his talent is great. Even Zhuge Liang sometimes encounters some difficult things, and he will come to the door to ask. Until his death in 222 AD, Chen Qun, an important minister of Wei who was already considered an enemy, personally wrote a private letter to Zhuge Liang to ask about Liu Ba's future, and he was very respectful.

How could Wang Xu not pay attention to such a talent when he heard it? quickly recalled Liu Ba's life in his head, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and suddenly said: "Xu Sheng, where is Liu Ba?" Where are the people now? ”

"Huh? This ......" Xu Sheng was taken aback by his sudden move, and wanted to say, but he was worried that Wang Xu would be unfavorable to Liu Ba, who was originally doing well, but suffered because of his recommendation, so he had a good conscience. But when Wang Xu asked, he couldn't help but say it, let alone deceive, which was really a little difficult.

However, Xu Shu was not as excited as Wang Xu, and when she saw the expressions of the two, she instantly understood, and sneered: "Husband, don't be so excited, you scared my brother so much that I didn't dare to say it!" ”

"Huh?" was reminded by Xu Shu like this, Wang Xu's somewhat feverish brain gradually calmed down. "Oh! Sorry, gaffe. ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement before he smiled gently: "Wen Xiang, since this Liu Ba has great talent, let's recruit to serve in the mansion!" I think he will first go to the side of the frustrated teacher to exercise for a period of time, and then he will be promoted after being recognized by everyone. ”

"Hiss......" Xu Sheng suddenly gasped and said in disbelief: "Expedition to the General's Mansion? ”

Wang Xu's general's mansion is not easy to enter, all the officials who are recruited to the general's mansion will be promoted in a short time, and all of them will soon show outstanding talent and become famous in the world. As for those ordinary officials, Wang Xu never asked, and they were all assessed by the frustrated professors.

Although Xu Sheng talked with Liu Ba once, he felt that the other party was a rare talent, and hoped to recommend it to Wang Xu. But he never thought that Wang Xu would personally recruit to the General's Mansion, and he was exercising beside him, so you can imagine how fast he will rise in the future.

This made him hesitate a little, after all, he recommended the person, if Wang Xu was disappointed in the future, wouldn't he be a hard to argue? Immediately hesitated: "Lord, it seems inappropriate for you to personally conquer the General's Mansion?" Why don't I write a letter to him and persuade him to come, and then go to the general's palace to be a small official first, and then be promoted after he has made political achievements? ”

Wang Xu saw through what Xu Sheng thought, immediately waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Why don't you have confidence in the person you recommend." It's okay, just let him exercise beside him for a while, and if it's suitable, he will be promoted. ”

Seeing that Wang Xu's attitude was so resolute, Xu Sheng opened his mouth, but it was not easy to refute again and again, and nodded helplessly: "Okay then!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled slightly, thought about it, but couldn't help asking: "It's just that if I recruit him, will he come?" If he refuses me, then I will hide my face and sweep the floor! ”

"No!" Xu Sheng immediately shook his head and smiled affirmatively: "Don't worry, when I talked to him that day, his words showed his respect for the lord, and he once said that if the Liu family didn't have so many restrictions, he actually wanted to serve the lord." ”

"Really?" Wang Xuqi said.

"Of course it's true." Saying that, Xu Sheng hesitated for a moment before slowly continuing: "Actually, in my opinion, he attaches first importance to talent, second to birth, and third to fame. And the lord and the prince are all the best in today's world, how can he be unwilling? ”

"Hmmm! That's fine. Hearing this, Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, he generally does not issue a conscription order, and once the conscription order came out, no one ever refused, and he did not want this record to be broken for the time being.

After thinking about it, he smiled slightly: "Then I'll ask Wang Kai to draft a document for requisition, and you will send someone to send it to him." And euphemistically stated that the restrictions on the Liu family do not include him! Got it? ”

"No! The end will understand. Xu Sheng immediately arched his hand affirmatively.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "At this dinner table, why are you saluting?" You're scared the cicadas out of eating. ”

This is a fact, since talking about the business just now, everyone has not eaten anymore, and Diao Chan, who was eating quietly and was a little shy, has been embarrassed to move his chopsticks. Now Xu Sheng is so solemnly arching his hand, although he doesn't know what to talk about, the Liu family, the Liu family. But she also knew that it was a serious matter, so she also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and sat quietly on the side and didn't dare to move.

Hearing Wang Xu's words, the beautiful face couldn't help showing a trace of anxiety, and waved her hand again and again: "Husband, don't worry about the cicadas, the cicadas are already full, you can talk!" I'll go over and clean up my room first. ”

"Huh!" Wang Xu didn't know what she was thinking, Diao Chan was about to stand up, but he was already pulled by him, pressed back to his seat and said: "This is all about family affairs, it's not a big deal, you eat yours!" Really, you've got half of the rice in your bowl! ”

"Hmm!" Diao Chan was never willing to disobey Wang Xu, and when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, but nodded softly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't say anything more, and picked up the bronze wine bottle in front of him and said, "Come!" Xu Sheng, don't talk about those things, drink! ”

"Hmmm! Dry! Xu Sheng also quickly lifted the wine bottle.

Subsequently, Wang Xu casually asked why Liu Ba didn't come to Xu Sheng's wedding banquet in the first place, and when he learned that the other party had just returned from a study tour, he didn't mention any topics about the Liu family, and talked about family affairs, so that everyone could finish the meal happily......
