In the case of the Three Princes Recording Shang Shushi, Shang Shuling automatically became a subordinate of the Three Princes, obeying orders, and it was difficult to have any autonomy.

When Lu Zhi was doing Shangshuling before, because Yang Ci intervened in the affairs of Shangshutai many times as Taiwei Lu Shangshushi, many things that the ancient literature school wanted to do were not done.

Of course, what Yang Ci wanted to do was not done because of the opposition of Yuan Kui and Lu Zhi.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war for power within Shangshutai, which is the pivotal point of the world.

And this time, with Lu Zhi's imminent departure, there is no candidate for the new Shangshuling monk Shangshu Servant, although the third prince can lead the development of Shangshutai's affairs, but if you want to get things done, you still need some subordinates to help implement it.

Therefore, the current situation can be seen as Liu Bei replacing Lu Zhi's position and becoming a trumpet, and Lu Zhi is working within Shangshutai.

To be honest, this is a result that no one expected.

Even at the official reward ceremony, Liu Bei was only awarded the Pavilion Marquis and Food for his military exploits, as well as the reward of gold, silver, silk cloth and some land, and did not mention any new official position for him.

At that time, some people felt that something was wrong.

Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's disciple, even if there is no special treatment, his own job in Shangshutai can be resumed, right?

Or will he be transferred to the military?

At that time, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, did not say.

Liu Bei didn't seem worried, but was active, jumping up and down, and began to seek errands for his cronies and subordinates who followed him from birth to death.

Xu Xuan, the captain of the Northern Army's Tun Cavalry Battalion, admired Liu Bei's style of action in the previous war, liked his fairness and justice very much, and had dealings with him.

So after returning to Luoyang this time, the Tun Cavalry Battalion became his first target.

Originally, Changshui Camp was the best choice, but unfortunately Cao Chi died last year, and Cao's power in the army belonged to a state of being a cool person, and he couldn't help directly.

But it was impossible to expect Liu Bei to let Cao go like this.

The Cao family, who has strong financial resources, is one of the big dogs in his eyes, and it is impossible not to collect wool.

So Liu Bei first personally visited Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, the great farmer.

Cao Song was very happy about Liu Bei's visit, personally received Liu Bei, thanked Liu Bei for his help to Cao Cao's family, and said that no matter what Liu Bei did, he could tell him, as long as he could do it, he would help Liu Bei do it.

Liu Bei felt that Cao Song actually had a straightforward aura, which was obviously different from the scholars and officials he came into contact with.

As long as they are not close relatives or close friends, they have to make nine twists and eighteen bends, quote scriptures and chew words, and refuse to say everything to death no matter what, and they have to guess the interlocutor, all kinds of guesses, and guess to death.

Cao Song is different here.

He almost said to Liu Beiming, you have something to do, come and ask me.

So Liu Bei didn't go around in circles and expressed his thoughts.

He wanted to get a job in Luoyang City for his subordinates who were fighting with him.

He got acquainted with the current Tuncai captain Xu Xuan in the previous war, and the two had dealings, so he hoped to use Cao Song's relationship to gain some benefits for the Tuncai battalion, so that he could stuff people into it.

Of course, Liu Bei assured that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were in the sequence of the Cypriots, and in addition, only his two closest subordinates, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, would be stuffed into it by him together.

Cao Song looked Liu Bei up and down, praised again and again, and then agreed, this matter is on him, as long as Xu Xuan's side relaxes, his side will be able to deliver the benefits immediately.

After Liu Bei got Cao Song's promise, he made up his mind and was ready to leave, but Cao Song didn't agree, so he insisted on pulling Liu Bei to have a meal, and greeted Liu Bei with good wine and food.

After eating, Cao Song got drunk, and Cao Cao bid farewell to Liu Bei.

"Father is also too happy, don't blame Xuande."

"Where's the matter, after all, I'm begging for someone."

Liu Bei patted Cao Cao's arm: "Please ask Ling Zun for this matter." ”

"Don't worry, Xuande."

Cao Cao smiled: "You open your mouth, we will definitely do this thing, I'm afraid that if you don't open your mouth, we don't know how to repay your kindness, at that time, my father was happy for this matter for a long time, and I was very happy to see how many years of resentment." ”

"It's all said, it's okay for others to talk about it, why do you need to be like this between you and me?"

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled: "I know the importance of fame, but I also know the truth that the righteous help the unrighteous and the unjust, to say something vulgar, one fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, no one can help me, what do you say?" ”

"That's interesting."

Cao Cao smiled: "That being the case, I must be a gang of Xuande, if Xuande needs it, but wherever I can, I will go all out!" ”

Liu Bei nodded.

What I want is the phrase you kid!

Before parting, Liu Bei suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, did you know about our affairs in the first place?"

"No, I didn't even know all about it, and I didn't tell anyone about it."

Cao Cao immediately said: "Don't worry, Xuande, I won't embarrass you." ”

"It's not a big deal."

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "I just think that after I first knew about this, would I feel that we were snubbing him." ”

Yuan Shao?

Snubbing him?

Does that guy care about me?

Hum!

After comparing Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, Cao Cao's resentment towards Yuan Shao was not one or two.

So as soon as Liu Bei said this, Cao Cao almost didn't roll his eyes.

"Xuande, originally from a famous family, what haven't you seen before? How could he care about such a thing? Besides, neither I nor you are his protégé of the Yuan family, and his hand is not that long, so there is no need for us to worry about this kind of thing. ”

Cao Cao's meaning, Liu Bei understood.

It seems that Cao Cao's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao is not small, and it has been for a long time.

That's right, what Cao Cao wants, Yuan Shao can't give it, maybe even if he can, he doesn't want to give it, Yuan Shaoda never thought that Cao Cao could change his identity from the beginning.

Then don't blame him, Cao Mengde turned to follow Liu Xuande closely.

What Liu Xuande can give, Yuan Benchu can't give, it's as simple as that.

At the beginning, I'm sorry, I probably managed to pry up this corner.

Adhering to the idea that although the famous flower has the master and I come to loosen the soil, Liu Bei left the Cao Mansion with a hint of banter.

Speaking of which, as time goes by, Yuan Shao becomes less and less useful to Liu Bei.

He and his gang of friends want power, but they don't have power, they want power, they don't have power, in the context of the battle between ancient and ancient texts, the value of a group of Yezui cannons is really not much, except for the name of the fourth and third dukes Yuan, the most valuable thing is Zhang Miao's money.

And the most interesting thing is that Yuan Shao has not successfully transferred from the line of the struggle between the party and the government to the line of the dispute between modern and ancient texts, and has not adapted to the situation of the new era until now.

Faced with a new political test, Yuan Shao is obviously an unqualified player.

After that, Liu Bei personally visited Xu Xuan, had a drink with him, and told him what he needed and what he could give him in return.

Xu Xuan was of course very interested in this, and at the same time, he was a little surprised that Liu Bei was able to go through the Cao family's door.

"Cao Song is known to be greedy in the court, and it is said that he is a good hand at collecting money, and he is also quite harsh on us generals on weekdays, Xuande is not so easy to follow his path, right?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"If you are not afraid that he is greedy, you are afraid that he is not greedy, and only those who are greedy can discuss, and those who are not greedy cannot negotiate, right?"

Xu Xuan stared at Liu Bei for a while when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Xuande is young, but he knows a lot of things, he is worthy of being a great Confucian disciple, and his future is immeasurable."

"Awards, awards."

Liu Bei also smiled.

The deal was settled.
