Regarding Zhang Miao's persuasion, Mao Jue hesitated for a while, but still shook his head resolutely.

"Jue came from a humble background, and did not have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, but I have also heard how important the grace of knowing is to a scholar, Liu Huqi is willing to call, and Jue is deeply grateful, if he does not dare to go because of the danger of Luoyang, is he not determined to repay his kindness from the beginning?

If you don't dare to live and die with your benefactor, and only think about getting rich and noble afterwards, such a person is a shame, if you do such a thing, you will have the grace of Liu Huqi and the teachings of your parents and elders, where will you still have the face to stand between heaven and earth? ”

Mao Jue rejected Zhang Miao's advice, and Zhang Miao sighed very much.

"At the beginning, I recommended Mao Jue just casually, and I didn't think too much about it, but now it seems that my casual remarks have really unearthed a virtuous talent for the country."

So Zhang Miao gave Mao Jue some possessions that he might use on the road, and sent someone to escort him to Luoyang.

It turned out to be a coincidence, and something really happened.

On the way from Chenliu to Luoyang, because of the turbulent situation, the impact of the Hedong crisis was too great, making the surrounding people and robbers more vagranted.

Mao Jue and his entourage were carrying more things on the road, but they encountered robbers, and two of the people who escorted him were killed in battle, and the others fled, and their belongings were looted.

Mao Jue pretended to be dead and escaped, and then simply abandoned the decent clothes, only took the summoning order, changed into the shabby clothes of the people, mixed in with the refugees, and trekked all the way, moving towards Luoyang little by little, and finally approached Luoyang on April 10.

The result was a coincidence, on April 11, the coup d'état in Luoyang, Liu Bei led the troops to destroy He Jin's army, Yuan Shao led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Kanto through the revolving gate, and the refugee team where Mao Jue was located happened to bump into the fleeing rebels, and was killed with heavy casualties.

Mao Jue was taken away by the rebels, and on the way, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebels, he escaped by luck and continued to move towards Luoyang.

After going through hardships and dangers, Mao Jue finally arrived in Luoyang on April 16 and went to the hussar general's mansion to meet the hussar general Liu Bei, but the result was ridiculed.

"The current hussar general's surname is Dong, what you are looking for is the general, right?"

At that time, Mao Jue's head was very confused, and he didn't know what was going on, so he could only inquire and came to the general's mansion to ask to see the general, but he was driven away by the people as a faint beggar.

So Mao Jue took out the summoning order that he had desperately saved.

"This is Liu Huqi's summoning order for me! I'm Chen Liupingqiu, Mao Jue! Ask to see Liu Hussar! ”

The doorman was shocked, looked at the summoning order, and it didn't seem to be a fake, so he went to report.

Coincidentally, Liu Bei was in the general's mansion at the time to accompany his mother who had just moved in, and when he heard this, he was surprised, so he went out to greet Mao Jue in person.

Looking at Mao Jue, who was dressed in a Syrian war-damaged uniform, Liu Bei didn't understand what was going on, so he welcomed Mao Jue into the house, asked someone to bring him water and food to eat and drink, and asked him what happened during this time.

This road was difficult and dangerous, the original journey of seven or eight days, stunned Mao Jue out of a little taste of learning scriptures in the west, and also encountered a lot of disasters, if he was not clever and intelligent, I am afraid he would not have been able to arrive in Luoyang alive.

And his second capture had something to do with his actions, which made Liu Bei a little embarrassed.

"It's really not easy for you to come this way, take a good rest for a while, I'll find a doctor to show you your body, but don't get hurt and sick, I'll live in the general's mansion these days, I'll arrange it all for you, and when your body is well conditioned, I will arrange a position for you."

Mao Jue was very moved and bowed down to Liu Bei to thank him.

"The general is kind to me, and I feel it from the bottom of my heart!"

After thanking him, Mao Jue asked about what had happened in Luoyang in the past few days, and then learned that the death of the Son of Heaven, the defeat of the Yuan's He rebellion, the deposed queen, the new emperor's accession to the throne and a series of major events, and Liu Bei's identity change also came from this.

After such a major political change, Mao Jue couldn't react for a while, so Liu Bei let Mao Jue live in the general's mansion in the next few days.

While finding a doctor for him to regulate his body, he was entertained with delicious food and drink, and at the same time, he also let him understand the current situation and solve his mental internal friction.

A few days later, Mao Jue figured it out.

The boss who selected him was too capable, and directly turned the city upside down, someone wanted to step on his head, he directly overturned the person who stepped on his head, and he became the first minister in the world.

Now in Luoyang, everything is different from before.

And he has already boarded the thief ship, and he can't jump if he wants to, Liu Bei treats himself so well, he eats and drinks well, and the good doctor serves him, such a good treatment makes Mao Jue feel very respected.

This kind of respect from the great general, he is very useful.

Mao Jue, who had recovered his spirits, quickly found Liu Bei and showed him his willingness to work for Liu Bei.

"Don't you have any opinion on the current situation?"

Liu Bei looked at him with a smile.

Mao Jue shook his head.

"It's impossible to say no, but it's come to this, I think that the people of the world should look forward, instead of sticking to things that are impossible to change, the first emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, it is the time for my generation to make a career, and I am willing to serve the general!"

"Those who know the times are Junjie, filial piety is long-term, and their temperament is decisive, which is exactly the talent I need!"

Liu Bei was very happy, so he arranged for him to be a general, so that he could do things in the general's mansion, be familiar with the environment, and show his talents.

is in a similar situation to Mao Jue, as well as Chen Liuren Gao Shun, Peiguo Shi Lian, Zuo Fengyi Zhang Ji, and Jingzhao Duling Du Ji.

They are all a group of people who are located relatively close to Luoyang, and they received Liu Bei's summoning order relatively early, and learned that they were recommended, and Liu Bei, the first general of the Han Dynasty who is famous all over the world, is going to become his subordinates, and the future is very ambitious.

None of them themselves are from high-ranking families, and their own families can provide local resources, but if they want to go to the next level, it is impossible.

From the central to the local, it is an insurmountable gap for these local families.

The olive branch handed by Liu Bei became the only way for them to enter the central government from the locality, and if they wanted to go further, this was the best choice.

So after getting Liu Bei's summoning order, they didn't think about it for a long time.

Around mid-to-late March, Shi Lian took the lead without much hesitation.

It can be regarded as bad luck, because the chaos in Luoyang and its surrounding areas caused by the Hedong crisis made it difficult for Shi Lian, and he was robbed four times in three days, all thanks to his bravery, almost all the way to attack.

Because of this, he stopped and stopped, and finally approached Luoyang, and the impact of the mutiny on April 11 was very great.

So on April 18, Shi Lian finally arrived in Luoyang after all the hardships, and went to meet the hussar general Liu Bei like Mao Jue, and then was stunned to learn that Liu Bei was already a dignified general, and in just a few days, so many big things happened in Luoyang City.

is different from what Mao Jue considered, Shi Lian's background is lower, his political sensitivity is not strong, and he is better in personal bravery, so he considers the problem more directly.

Knowing that Liu Bei became a general and became the first minister in the world, he was overjoyed, and immediately rushed over to report to Liu Bei, took out Xiahoudun's recommendation token and Liu Bei's summoning order, and was welcomed by Liu Bei.

On the same day, he joined the General's Mansion and assumed the position of General Peng, and became a colleague with Mao Jue.
