Tao Qian wanted to appoint Liu Bei as the governor of the East China Sea, but Jian Yong advised that it was unacceptable-"Once you accept this position, you will have a clear distinction between the monarch and the minister, and it will greatly hinder your future actions!" The generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also agreed with Jian Yong's proposition.

But Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "I wait for the poor to come to vote, and Tao Envoy Jun treats him sincerely, how can I not accept his appointment?" Besides, if you refuse to accept it, you will be suspicious, and I will be afraid that it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Xuzhou in the future - but where to go? ”

Jian Yong said that it is better to vote for Yuan Shu, Liu Bei asked, do you dare to guarantee that Yuan Shu will not want to completely accept us as subordinates? Of course, I "would rather be a chicken's mouth than a cow queen", but there is no opportunity to be a "chicken's mouth". Guan Yu pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "If the lord can only be the 'queen of the ox', why not go to Cao Mengde?" ”

On the other hand, after Shi Xun came out of the state office, he left Tancheng and returned to Shijiazhuang, so he asked his eldest uncle Shi Yi to discuss his marriage date with Cao Bao - in fact, this is just a formality, he and Cao Hong have long been hugging grass and beating rabbits, and in addition to planning the future of Xuzhou, they also planned their future by the way. Originally, according to the meaning of Shixun, it was to do it early and simply, and it was convenient for him to withdraw and leave after finishing his work and flee back to Yanzhou, and the simple thing was simply because he couldn't stand the trouble. But Cao Hong stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously: "This matter is not only related to my niece's happiness, but also related to the current situation in Xuzhou, how can you be contemptuous......"

The two bargained, and finally agreed that March 15 of this spring was an auspicious day, and guests and friends were invited to hold a wedding for Shixun and Cao's daughter. From the date of the wedding to the official ceremony, there was nearly a month, and the official duties of the honor were completed, and there was nothing to do in Xuzhou, which was both idle and boring - Li Dian and they had already returned to Yanzhou after handing over the gifts, leaving only ten soldiers to guard the honor.

What should I do this month? Just staying in the courtyard of the house? Let's not say that it must be a matter of time to calm down in the morning and dusk, and come out as a filial son and grandson, it's really troublesome, just saying that it's the end of the lenient confinement, if he comes over to debate the political situation with himself, or even discuss poetry, then his meow will be annoying enough! It's Hoon's big head...... However, he was lucky, and as soon as he was free, someone suddenly handed him a famous thorn and summoned him to meet him.

Yes Xun is now also engaged in a state, and the one who can pull him directly over will certainly not be an ordinary person, either a teacher or a long - this person is not him, it is Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou, a famous man in Beihai.

Shi Xun This is the joy that descended from the sky, and immediately reported to Shi Yi, saying that Mr. Sun called me, and I was trying to study with him for a while. Shi Yi asked and understood that Sun Qian lived in the suburbs of Tanxian County, nodded and agreed, and said: "There is someone to handle the marriage for you, if there is a need, I will send someone to call you, you can go with confidence." There is no end to learning, don't think that if you enter the eunuch road, you don't need to learn. ”

It was Xun Bi who listened respectfully to the teachings, and then went to Sun Qian happily. After meeting and asking, Mr. Sun was ordered by Beihai Xiang Kong Rong to come to Lang Xie to find Zheng Xuan, what did Zheng Kangcheng hear, and the way home was safe? happily packed up and went on the road - just in time for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to retreat from Duchang City, Shi Xun followed Shi Zhi and others to move to Xuzhou, and the two almost passed by. Then Yuan Tan entered Beihai, Kong Rong abandoned the official and ran away, and Sun Qian also fled to Xuzhou again, but Mr. Zheng Kangcheng refused to run, and lived in seclusion in his hometown until he died - of course, this is a later story, when Sun Qian and Shixun reunited, Zheng Xuan was not dead.

It's Xun's chagrin, he almost had a chance to get close to Zheng Xuan, but unfortunately it's still a flower in the water and a moon in the mirror after all.

Let's say that after Sun Qian fled to Xuzhou, he had no money and no property, and he relied on the help of his fellow villagers to live, and his life was quite miserable for a while. However, recently, it is said that an official wanted to summon him as a guest and sent him a lot of daily necessities. Shi Xun asked, "I don't know which virtuous official wants to recruit Mr. Sun?" Sun Qian smiled slightly: "This person is giving up, Hongfu must recognize it." ”

As he spoke, he said hello, and when the time was not long, he heard the sound of footsteps, and one person entered the hall, stroked his palm and smiled: "Mr. Hongfu, I don't want you and me to be so fateful, and we will meet again." Shi Xun looked up - I should have thought that there was no one else besides Liu Bei who was willing to recruit Sun Gan!

He really didn't want to see Liu Bei. This has nothing to do with Liu Bei secretly colluding with Lu Zhu, and it has nothing to do with whether Liu Bei really wants to usurp Xuzhou, on the contrary, it is Xun who feels that he specially went to Xuzhou to harm Liu Bei, and he is very unbearable. This is a strange thing, as if under Liu Bei's magnificent demeanor, he seems so small and despicable, it seems that as long as Liu Bei wants to do something, it must be righteous, and it is a great injustice to go against Liu Bei. Why do you have this illusion? Shihoon himself can't figure it out - just as some people seem to be born to be leaders, and some people seem to be born with the embodiment of justice, just look at him and you will think: you are right, we are all wrong......

But now that Liu Bei took the initiative to come to the door - who killed him was Xun and didn't believe that it was a coincidence, it was a chance encounter - no matter how weak and timid he was, it was impossible for him to turn around and run away. He had no choice but to stand up and salute Liu Bei: "See Liu Fujun." ”

"The plain has been abandoned, why call it that anymore," Liu Bei sat down with a slight wry smile, "Mr. Hongfu can call Bei's name." His attitude was more humble and more enthusiastic than when Xiang Ben held a banquet that day, but of course it was impossible for Shixun to climb down the pole, so after thinking about it, he had to call him "Xuande Gong." ”

Liu Bei pulled a few words, and gradually introduced the topic, he asked Shixun: "Mr. Hongfu is talented, there is a matter, I don't know how to ask, can't I ask?" Shi Xun nodded up and said, "Please speak." He didn't expect Liu Bei to be so straightforward, so he asked directly: "Tao Xuzhou wants to be hired as the captain of the East China Sea, I don't know if it should be allowed or not?" ”

Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart Tao Qian really plans to take you in, but I haven't gotten the news yet. But I've been thinking about it before, if Tao Qian prepares the seal of his subordinates and sends it to you, will you agree to him? I didn't expect you to come to me to play the ball - "when you don't allow it", how can I give you an idea when he meows?

"This Xuande Gong's own business, why should Xun put his beak?"

"It's okay," looking at Liu Bei's expression, how sincere and sincere it really is, "Mr. Hongfu is a talented person today, and he used to live in Xu Fang, and he has the resources to be dull, and he has come from afar as a guest, so it is really difficult to choose. Please don't hesitate to give me advice and plan for the future. ”

Yeshun is a little at a loss. Liu Bei and Cao Cao are two completely different types of leaders, but they have one thing similar, that is, a pair of eyes can "see the traitor", when staring at you, it seems to be able to penetrate into your internal organs and look at you inside and outside - it's just that Cao Cao staring at you will make you dare not lie to him, while Liu Bei staring at you will make you can't bear to lie to him. Of course, this is just a more artistic statement, they don't really know how to read minds, and it is Xun and Cao Cao who dare not tell big lies in front of them, but small lies are constant, because he knows that Cao Cao will not care about those small sections.

So do you want to lie in front of Liu Bei? Why do you suddenly feel so guilty?!

Okay, I'm not going to lie for the time being, let's go around in circles first? Yes Xun asked: "I don't know the ambition of Xuan Degong, how can Xun dare to speak out?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face couldn't help but sink, with a slightly sad look, he said: "I have no ambition, but now the Han family is in danger, treacherous and mischievous, and the lord is covered with dust, so he does not measure his virtue and strength, and wants to uphold the righteousness of the world." When you wait for the Han Dynasty to be regoverned, you will be rewarded with the title of marquis, and you will return to Linquan with your wife and children, which will be enough to comfort your life. ”

Shi Xun believed that Liu Bei was telling the truth, because ...... That's what you said to Zhuge Liang in Longzhong later!

Well, since this is the case, then Lao Tzu will inevitably copy the old wisdom of later generations and pretend to be a demon again. Shi Xun raised his finger and said to Liu Bei: "Fang Jinhai is a group of heroes, and it can be divided into three categories when examined: first, if you want to mess with the world, you will take advantage of it, such as Yuan Benchu's brothers; second, it is difficult to divide and secure places, such as Tao Gongzu and Liu Jingsheng; Third, he wants to fight a three-foot sword to calm the world and make the Han family glorious, such as Xuande Gong. Xuande Gong has this ambition......"

Liu Bei asked, "What should I do?" ”

As soon as Shi Xun ran up, he couldn't even stop the car, so he seemed to follow the logic and sincerely help Liu Bei plan: "If you want to settle the Han family, there are two ways: one is to create your own foundation, welcome the Son of Heaven, and help the heroes; The second is to assist a capable minister, and use his strength to achieve a great cause. I don't know which one Xuande Gong likes? ”

Liu Bei sighed: "As long as the Han family can be revived, even if it is a small pawn, Bei is willing." I just want to create my own foundation, but I don't have a place to stand, I want to assist Bi Nengchen, but I don't know who Nengchen is, so I came to consult Mr. Hongfu. ”

Is Xun Xin saying that you are in this place of cones, you were originally here in Xuzhou, but unfortunately Lao Tzu was born, and you are about to be yellow when you see it. Except for here, I really can't think of where to put you for a while - after thinking about it around Xuzhou, he almost told Liu Bei that you should just cross the river and go to Jiangdong, and go to see the little overlord who is also about to go south.

But if you really want to talk about it, the Jiangdong area at this time is really not a good place to become a king, not to mention the low development value and small population, so the Sun family wants to develop there, one is that the hometown is in Wu County, and the other is that most of the subordinates are Huaisi children, as long as they occupy Jiangdong, they can kill Huaisi with one step. But what about Liu Bei? His old man's hometown is in Zhuo County, and he has no foundation in Jiangdong, and even his reputation is still in the single digits at this time.

Shi Xun hid in the secret room alone, and he could hack Liu Bei as much as he wanted, but just in front of him, seeing Liu Bei's pair of bright big eyes, he seemed so sincere, so kind, so harmless to humans and animals, he really couldn't say it. After the last sigh, he had to sigh: "Xuande Gong shouldn't come to Xufang, if he can return to Youzhou, and collect the rest of the people after Gongsun Zan is defeated, he may be able to fight for a foundation......"

Liu Beiyi frowned: "How did Mr. Hongfu predict that General Gongsun would be defeated?" What is the basis for this? ”

Shi Xun trembled in his heart, oh no, Lao Tzu, this demon pretended to be a little overdone......
