In the city of Luoyang, Liu Bei led the horse alone on the avenue in the city.

first said goodbye to Cao Cao outside the city, and sent Gongsun Zhan away a few days ago, and now there are fewer old people in Luoyang City.

Empress Song died, the eunuchs became stronger, and the sergeants of the court became more and more dissatisfied with the eunuchs.

Although there has not been any major incident in the court now, the situation of confrontation between the eunuchs and the scholars has been completed, and there are already some scenes of mountains and rains about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Liu Bei naturally didn't want to get involved in these things, and if he was involved in them, he might fall to pieces if he was not careful.

These days, he mostly snuggled up in the mountains of the Guishi to study, but he turned out a volume of Sun Tzu's Art of War from Cai Yong's collection.

After studying it for a few days, I found that there was a great deal of learning in it.

He pondered repeatedly, thinking that in the future, he would make some names in the battle array, and he would definitely write a new book of Xuande, and ask the people who came after him to take a good look at his talents.

Today he went down the mountain because Yuan Shu asked him to drink, and he had already shirked it a few times before, but this time he really couldn't refuse.

After all, with Yuan Highway's temperament, if he resigns again, I don't know what he will do.

At this time, Liu Bei had already come to the winery, tied his horse, and stepped in.

In the wine house, Yuan Shu had already occupied a table, and there were three young people he had never seen before.

"Xuande is too late." Yuan Shu got up to greet him, but he was a little less frivolous at the beginning.

Now there is a lot of noise in Luoyang City, even their Yuan family is not too safe and stable.

Hardships and hardships always urge people to grow.

Even Yuan Shu, the Yuan family who used to be prodigal and prodigal, is now a lot more restrained.

I heard that he is now the same as Yuan Shao, and when he has nothing to do, he mostly stays in Yuan's house and rarely goes out.

He pulled Liu Bei into his seat and said with a smile: "This is the Liu family tiger Liu Bei Liu Xuande that you have been talking about." I didn't lie, I didn't know him as a good brother, you see he didn't come when I invited him. ”

Liu Bei, who was looking at the people present, pulled the corners of his mouth, and only then did he know the reason why Yuan Shu had been invited several times.

Yuan Highway is Yuan Highway in the end, the country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to move.

"I don't know a few of them when I think about it, and they are all the best of the younger generation. Although it is not as famous as Xuande now, it will definitely be a world-famous figure in the future. ”

Yuan Shu smiled and introduced the three of them to Liu Bei, "This is Chen Deng Chen Jun, the grandson of Taichang Chen Gong." Xuande is a disciple of Lu Gong, and you can be regarded as having some origins. ”

In the past, Lu Zhi studied the law with Chen Qiu, and it was also a beautiful story that was widely circulated in the world back then.

The Lu clan of Zhuojun can start a family with Lu Zhi alone, and Lu Zhi's reputation at that time can be seen.

Chen Deng stood up and saluted, and Liu Bei glanced at Chen Deng up and down.

He is not very old, dressed in brocade clothes, he looks quite thin from the outside, and when he looks at people, he raises his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth are upturned.

is dressed as a scholar, but it exudes a bit of rebelliousness.

He nodded, no wonder it was the heroic Chen Yuanlong of Huhai, and he really had his own spirit.

At this time, Yuan Shu pointed to another person beside Chen Deng.

The man also stood up and saluted Liu Bei, this person was not tall, but at a glance he was quite strong, and his face and body were full of fierceness.

"This is Han Hao Han Jun, although he is not from a famous family, but Han Jun has outstanding martial arts and deep strategy, and Ji Ling under me can barely make a draw with Han Jun." Yuan Shu did not hesitate to praise this person.

The Yuan brothers, Yuan Shao attaches more importance to famous backgrounds, and Yuan Shu has a higher regard for these people who have the ability to do martial arts.

Yuan Feng values Yuan Shao more among the two Yuans, which is naturally not unreasonable.

"Han Jun is polite." Liu Bei greeted with a smile.

Han Hao's name was quite unfamiliar, and for a while, he couldn't remember whether he had seen this person in a book.

If the previous two had their own peculiarities, the remaining third young man seemed a little "boring".

This man was dressed in a washed white green robe, with a fair face, and had been sitting upright since the beginning.

When the other two spoke, they didn't see any movement of this person, but they looked like a great Confucian in a school.

Liu Bei is quite curious about this person, it stands to reason that Yuan Shu, a person who does not follow the etiquette law, is the most unaccustomed to such a serious scribe on weekdays, and he has nothing to do with this kind of person anyway.

It wasn't until Yuan Shu introduced this person's origin that he suddenly realized.

"This is Yuan Jun and my Yuan family."

Between the words, his voice was a lot weaker, and he seemed to be a little afraid of this Yuan Lian.

This made Liu Bei a little more curious, and dared to scold Yuan Benchu in person, and there were even people in the Yuan family who were afraid.

Several people have finished sitting down, and when they meet for the first time, no one is silent for a while.

It was Han Hao, a martial artist, who was the first to speak, "A certain first salute Liu Jun with a bowl of wine." A certain martial artist since he was a child, often thinking about him running rampant in the battle array. Liu Junhaojie, who fought with Xianbei in Saibei that day, left his hometown and saved many sons and daughters of my Han family. Originally, I was going to go to Saiwai together, but I was stopped by my uncle, and now I still regret it in my heart. I can't saddle on the field with Liu Jun. ”

This man is quite upright, and he has never been obscure for his uncle.

"Han Jun can have this heart, he is already better than many people. It has always been difficult to blame the things of the world, but there is no need to take them to heart. Liu Bei smiled and drank the wine in his hand.

Han Hao nodded and said no more.

Liu Bei suddenly said: "If Han Jun really has this heart, if he has leisure in the future, he can go to Zhuo County, Youzhou, Bei's hometown, to have a look." There are quite a few wounded soldiers who have been wounded and retreated, and retired people who can no longer go to the battlefield, have been taken in by me in Zhuo County, and I think Han Jun will definitely be interested in them. ”

Han Hao's eyes lit up, he had originally regarded it as a big regret in his life that he couldn't go to the outside of the country to participate in the war that day, but now he was able to do something for these people, which naturally made him recover some of his spirits.

Liu Bei stopped talking and didn't say more.

He now remembered who this Han Hao was.

When he arrived in Zhuo County, he saw Zao Qi, if he could still leave Zhuo County, it would be because he Liu Xuande had no ability and couldn't complain about others.

Han Hao was followed by Yuan Lian, he held the cup in both hands and drank all the wine in the cup, "I have to thank Liu Jun for saving Cai Gong before." This cup of wine is respected by the scholars who have received the favor of Cai Gong on my behalf. We and others are soft-spoken, and even if we don't risk our lives, we can't help. Thanks to Liu Jun's righteous action. ”

Now Liu Bei's letter to rescue Cai Yong has already spread all over Luoyang.

This is naturally inevitably fueled by Jia Xu, Shi A and others.

Cai Yong's literary fame is spread all over the world, and he has never hidden his personal interests, so he is quite respected among scholars.

At the beginning, Yuan Jian also came to study, and he also learned a lot from Cai Yong's place. Later, I heard that Cai Yong was detained in Luoyang Prison, although these scholars who had received Cai Yong's favor also wanted to save them, but in the end they were soft-spoken and powerless.

"Cai Gong is a famous Confucian in the world, and we should all respect him. What Bei did was not a big deal, but he did just a little bit. Liu Bei said with a smile, "Don't say it's a preparation, if you want to change someone else's position, you should make the same choice as Bei." ”

"In the world, there are many who can speak, and few who can do." Yuan Jian said, "If Liu Jun can do this, he is already better than many so-called gentlemen who only know how to speak loudly." ”

Obviously, Yuan Jian is quite disdainful of those so-called gentlemen.

"Then I don't know what a gentleman is in Yuan Jun's eyes?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"The so-called gentleman is humble and humble on the outside like nephrite, and the inside like a prism. See small profits and do not take, and do not lose when you are on the big festival. Yuan Jian said in a deep voice, "This can be described as a gentleman." Ruofu speaks loudly, writes a thousand words, has a style of words, and has no hard bones in battle, such a character is naturally not a gentleman. ”

Liu Bei nodded, and he finally remembered Yuan Lian.

There is great righteousness in the big festival, combined with the later things of this person, but he has never spoken out.

He had to sigh in his heart, this time the descent was really worth the trip, and Yuan Highway had done a rare good thing.

So he looked at Yuan Shu with a somewhat kinder gaze.

Yuan Shu naturally didn't know what he was thinking at this time, otherwise he was afraid that he would have already drawn his sword.

"You two are so pedantic, what's the use of thanking you for coming and going?" Chen Deng, who had been watching coldly and never spoke, suddenly spoke, "Everyone here is a hero, why do you need to be such a mother-in-law?" ”

"Haojie acts according to his heart. In the past, all the things that Liu Jun did were nothing more than that, and they were like this. Is it for your few fluttering words of thanks today? Wouldn't this despise Liu Jun, but also see the heroes of the world clearly. ”

When Yuan Han heard Chen Deng's words, they immediately realized something, and they both got up and apologized to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, got up and saluted back, and said with a smile: "It's not like this, it's not like this." ”

He peeked at Chen Deng, who was the youngest among the crowd, but he was the most sharp in words.

is domineering, and it is no wonder that he can do that lonely thing in the future.

"Yuan Long is sharp-tongued." Liu Bei smiled, "It's just that even if Yuanlong is really talented, he should hide himself." There are many people in the world who are slightly superior, but most of the sharp-edged people died not in current affairs, but at the hands of mediocrity. In the past, Zhao Youyou Guo Kai, Zhilian quite fled, and Li Mu gave the head. Yuanlong should be cautious. ”

"Since it is a heroic thing, there is naturally no need to cover it up, how can a heroic hero be afraid of mediocrity? Although Li Mu and the others died, the name of the famous general has been passed down to this day, and whether it is worth it or not, it will naturally be left for future generations to comment. Although Chen Deng is young, he seems to have his own unique views on this matter of life and death.

Liu Bei didn't say much.

On the occasion of the two Han Dynasty, like the former master father Yan, there have always been many ideas of not being born with five tripods and dying.

But it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong, it is just that everyone has their own needs.

After a few rounds of drinking, several people at the same table were a little familiar with each other.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Fang Cai Yuanlong mentioned the heroes of the lake and the sea, but I don't know the land of Jiangdong, can there be heroes in the eyes of Yuanlong?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Chen Deng raised the corner of his eyebrows when he heard this, "Not to mention far away, Danyang had a heroic character a few years ago. ”

"This person's surname is Tao, the name is Qian, and the word is Gongzu." Chen Deng said with a smile.

"This Tao Gongzu is an interesting person, and he has some fame." Yuan Shuhu said, "I heard that this person also took the children of his fellow villagers to do bamboo horse plays when he was more than ten years old, and was later valued by Gan Gong, who was a fellow villager who was a Taishou in the past, and he was about marriage, and his career was also smooth." ”

Yuan Shuwei laughed, "It's quite similar to that guy from Gongsun Zhan." I think this person also has a good look. ”

The Yuan family is powerful, known as a protégé and a former official all over the world, and knowing Tao Qian's name is not a big deal.

Chen Deng took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it forcibly, "The reason why I praise this person is not because of these old things that Fang Cailu said, but because this person is a character in his own right. This person is extremely hard-natured, even if he is stronger than in the past. “

"He was a few years old when I met him, but his words were still sharp. Today, Liu Jun said that my words are sharp, but if you have seen this person, you will know that my words are actually tactful enough. ”

Liu Bei nodded.

When he went to the southeast with Lu Zhi to quell the rebellion, he had also heard a lot of news about this person.

At that time, this person was still the incompetent civil official who was defeated by Cao Cao again and again, and then entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

It's just that as he got more and more news about this person, he realized that he was really wrong before.

Tao Gongzu is by no means a weak person who can be bullied, and if it weren't for the battle of Xuzhou with Cao Cao in the future, this person would never give Xuzhou to Liu Bei so easily.

However, if you think about it carefully, this person's personality has a lot of similarities with Liu Bei, and it is no wonder that he will give Xuzhou to Liu Bei at the end of the day.

Yuan Shu suddenly smiled evilly, "There are still a lot of characters in Jiangdong, at least in the land of Beihai, there is Kong Wenju who made pears in the past." ”

"Kong Wenju?" Chen Deng glanced at Yuan Shu, saw him with a wicked smile on his face, and knew that he had bad intentions, but he still said, "Kong Wen is just a person who talks clearly, if he makes the ruling party, it will definitely cause the people to be separated." Doing more harm than good. ”

If there were other scholars here, most of them would have to get up and angrily reprimand Chen Deng for being rude.

Beihai Kong Jun has been famous for a long time, how can he, a yellow-mouthed child, be evaluated at will?

It's just that Liu Bei and the others didn't react to Chen Deng's words, and they heard it.

"Although I have been in the north for some years, I am still not used to eating in the north." Chen Deng took another bite of food and sighed, "I have been away from my hometown for a long time, but I miss the taste of fish and meat in my hometown." ”

Liu Bei glanced at him, and stopped talking.

"I heard that Liu Jun has also been to Jiangdong, but he hasn't stayed for a long time, and I don't think I've ever tasted Jiangdong fish and shrimp."

When it comes to eating, Chen Deng's eyes show some essence, "The fish and seafood in Jiangdong are the best raw foods. Deng has studied a lot about this, and if Liu Jun comes to Jiangdong again in the future and Deng is the host, he will definitely take Liu Jun to taste Jiangdong's food. ”

Liu Bei still couldn't hold back after all, and smiled bitterly.

"Yuanlong will still eat less things from the rivers and seas in the future."
