Xu You's mansion is in the suburbs, far away from the main city of Luoyang, and even farther than the mansion that Liu Jian rented when he first arrived in Luoyang.

It is no wonder that Xu Yu has been doing the work of running for the party members by the side of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and for this alone, he is not very popular in the center of Luoyang.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are the third prince of the fourth world, and the other is the son of the official eunuch Gaomen, the family is strong, these two little brothers are running for the party as demons in Luoyang, there is a family that can cover them, and no one dares to touch them.

It's a little worse.

In other words, not to mention staying in the center of Luoyang City, Xu Yu has been bouncing back and forth for the Yuan family in Luoyang all these years because of the party's affairs, and he has not been secretly killed by the eunuchs, which is already considered fate.

Xu You has been able to live until now, mainly because of Yuan Shao's face.

At this time, Liu Jian and Liu Bei were standing side by side outside the mansion of Xu You's family, and the servants carried down two wooden boxes from the cart behind them, which were obviously gifts for Xu You.

Liu Bei asked with some doubts, "Deran, I really don't understand today's actions."

Liu Jian looked around at the situation of Xu You's family, and said, "If I am a pastor, in the future, the whole world will be able to seek my authority in Jizhou, Shao Ye."

"Uh-huh......

Liu Bei didn't understand the meaning of Liu Jian's words for a while: "What do you mean by this?"

"Hehe, don't you understand?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "I don't understand."

He really doesn't understand, so decent, what to say "seek my authority".

You, the pastor of Jizhou, have not yet been appointed by a famous edict, where did you get any authority?

What's going on in his head?

"If you don't understand, you don't understand, and you'll do what I taught you before, and you'll understand it in the end."

Although he didn't understand Liu Jian's actions and ideas, Liu Bei still trusted him unconditionally.

Since childhood, Deran's ideas are sometimes too out-of-the-box, and from time to time they will be beyond Liu Bei's understanding.

But it must be admitted that in most cases, the results turned out to be right.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "talent of the world" and "the posture of heaven and man".

Anyway, Liu Bei thought that he couldn't reach this realm.

……

After a while, Xu You personally went out to greet him.

"Ziyuan!"

"Oh, it's a blessing that De Ran and Xuande can be in my house, how can I not tell me in advance, so that Xu Mou can be more prepared!"

"Suddenly disturbing, without prior notice, is really thrifty, and I hope that my son is far away."

Liu Bei also said on the side: "Don't blame Ziyuan!"

"What's the blame, the two nobles came to our house, it's too late to be happy!"

With that, Xu You stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand to a servant behind him, who hurriedly handed a broom to Xu You.

Xu You took the broom, swept the road in front of his house, and then handed the broom to the servant's hand.

"When you come to the door, you are not well prepared at home, so you can only sweep the road and greet each other as a sign of respect! Don't be surprised!"

Liu Jian secretly said in his heart: This Xu You can really do the whole thing.

Everyone is sweeping the couch to greet each other, and he directly gave me a sweeping road to greet me at a certain mouth.

However, with his status, being able to sweep the road in front of him with a broom can be regarded as a reflection of how much he attaches importance to himself. ….

But the more he does this, the more his lust will be.

That's the best!

"Ziyuan is so kind, we are really moved."

After that, Liu Jian looked at Liu Bei beside him and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Ziyuan?"

When the words fell, he saw Liu Bei suddenly step forward, shook Xu You's hand vigorously, and said with emotion: "Ziyuan is really a person who can be deeply friends!"

Although it was only a short sentence, it seemed so sincere when it came out of Liu Bei's mouth.

Rao is Xu You, and he was a little moved for a while.

This Liu Bei is not an ordinary person!

Xu You secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Then, as soon as I saw him stretch out his hand, I said, "Both, please!"

"Please."

……

The three of them entered Xu You's house together, and Xu You ordered his family to go to the cellar to get good fruits and vegetables to entertain guests.

After the three of them sat down, they talked about the current situation of the dynasty and the countryside, anyway, there was no theme in the east and west, and it was very disorganized.

But even in such a situation where there is nothing to say, there has been no awkward scene in the conversation between the three of them.

The key is still on Xu You!

This man is so good at talking!

It's not an ordinary thing to say!

Rao is Liu Jian and Liu Bei are also people who have seen strong winds and waves, and in front of Xu You's "mouth like a river" and "pointing the country", they almost only have the ability to parry.

Just as Xu You's boast was rising, the housekeeper of his house came outside the hall.

Xu Yu then stood up and excused himself to go to the toilet.

Outside the hall, the steward took Xu You to the side room and opened the gifts brought by Liu Jian and Liu Bei.

Xu You is also well-informed, but when he saw Liu Jian's gift, he was quite surprised.

Horseshoe gold cakes, beautiful jade, the best brocade, and especially a well-carved jade beast are definitely worth a lot.

I don't want to be in Zhuoxian Liu's family, my family is so rich!

Xu You sighed in his heart.

Back in the hall, Xu You's attitude became more enthusiastic than Shicai's.

"Two, come here today, let's talk about the past and the present, and talk about the current situation, it's already a pleasure, why do you want to bring so many gifts? It really makes Xu feel ashamed!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "It's just a small courtesy, not enough to worry about, not for anything else, just to show my brother's respect for Ziyuan."

Xu You sighed: "That being the case, today I will prepare a little thin wine and feast the two of us, and I hope I don't have to excuse myself."

Liu Bei said: "This is the best, De Ran is afraid that he will be out of Beijing soon, and he will meet again in the future, but it will be difficult!"

When Xu You heard this, he was stunned.

"Where is Deran going?"

Liu Jian smiled faintly and said, "Around the time of tomorrow's court meeting, Your Majesty will discuss this matter with Zhuqing, and now it is okay to inform Ziyuan...... Your Majesty has the intention of establishing a shepherd."

In fact, from the fact that Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, and Liu Jian were awarded the trilateral shepherd's guard last year, and those who are in the whirlpool of Luoyang can basically conclude that the pastoral must be a trend, but it is only a matter of time.

Even the Yuan family is actively promoting this matter.

It is true that Liu Hong will not open this opening easily when he is alive, and even if it is, it will definitely fall to the head of the clan relatives and will not be awarded to outsiders. ….

But now anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Hong will not live long.

The prince Liu Wei was only twelve years old, and when he ascended the throne, with a precedent of the pastoral policy, under the promotion of the ministers of the court and the central government, it was impossible to be limited to the Liu family.

Don't look at Xu You as an outsider, but he probably knows all these things.

So Liu Jian's words did not surprise him very much, but were somewhat unexpected to him.

Xu You said: "Congratulations to Deran, you can shepherd one side for Your Majesty, and as a party with important responsibilities for the clan, you will definitely be able to leave a name in the history books in the future."

Liu Jian smiled and said, "How does Ziyuan think that I must be ordained?"

Xu You stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty wants to establish a pastor, you must establish a clan first, and people like Deran, who are led by Your Majesty as an arm, must be the first choice for pastors."

Liu Bei said on the side: "I just don't know when the foreign surname will be able to share the worries of His Majesty except for the clan relatives?"

If it were someone else, he might not talk much about this matter at this moment.

But Xu Yu is not the same as a normal person.

His wisdom is extremely high, and he is well versed in strategy, but he has one of the biggest faults.

That's his broken mouth

, good to show.

What to say and what not to say, Xu Yu does not have a standard for this person.

If it were replaced by another resourceful person, he might just smile casually when he heard Liu Bei's words, and he wouldn't accept it.

But Xu Yu wants to take it!

At that moment, I heard Xu Yu say with a big grin: "According to a certain opinion, Your Majesty will only use the clan relatives as the shepherds at the moment, but there are still not many people in the clan who can be the big ones after all, how many talents are there in the world? In two or three years, people with foreign surnames who can be ranked as pastoral envoys like De Ran will definitely come out, De Ran, you say yes?"

Liu Jian did not refute, but continued Xu You's words and said: "All the families in the world, those who are the best in the clan, the first to recommend the Runan Yuan family, after all, it is the gate of the fourth world and the three dukes, if in the future, Your Majesty really wants to choose Yingjie from the Shi clan as the shepherd, and guard one side for the Han Dynasty, I think the Yuan family should be the first!"

Xu You smiled and said, "It's really a hero's vision! Deran really deserves to be a close friend of the Yuan family! I feel so, too."

Liu Bei said on the side: "Both of you are kind to the Yuan family, so according to what the two of you have seen, if the Yuan family sends someone to serve as a shepherd, who can be the first?"

Liu Jian didn't speak, but looked at Xu You: "I wish Brother Wenzi Yuan!"

Xu You smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! In my opinion, Brother Shi Ji, as the father-in-law of the Yuan family, is in charge of thousands of old officials, and it is impossible for him to leave the court. I conclude that if you choose Yingjie from the Yuan family, you should choose the original one!"

Liu Jian clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Brother Ziyuan is really insightful! If he is in charge of the court after this first day, Ziyuan will be a humerus figure!"

Liu Bei also said: "Yuan Benchu can be supplemented by a great talent like Ziyuan, it is really his luck!"

Xu You listened to Er Liu's praise and was very proud.

Liu Bei bowed his hand to Xu Yu again: "Ziyuan is the first confidant of Benchu, and if he really goes to the place to take office the next day, according to Ziyuan's wisdom, he must have already planned for Yuan Benchu where to go, right?"

"Uh-huh......

When Xu You heard this, he was stunned. ….

To tell the truth, whether Yuan Shao will be sent as a pastor in the future, Xu Yu is also uncertain in his heart, he is just a whim, bragging with Er Liu.

Now the topic is flashing, and the wind is blowing here.

But if you think about it carefully, if Yuan Shao really wants to go to the place one day in the future, where should he go?

This matter really needs to be pondered carefully.

But......

Xu You is a wise man after all, although he is a little cheaper, but he still has wisdom!

At this moment, he had already seen through Liu Jian's purpose of coming here today.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

Xu You suddenly laughed, he laughed and looked at Er Liu back and forth, and said, "I said that Deran came here today to find me, but it turned out that he was waiting here!"

Liu Jian smiled faintly: "Ziyuan thinks, where is Jian waiting for you?"

"Deran, although Xu is not the top wise man in the world, but he is by no means a mediocre person, you and I both know in our hearts, in a few days, you will go down to the place to be a pastor, but at this time, you are here to ask the beginning, what is the reason?"

"If my guess is correct, you are scrupling about the primordial in your heart, and you want to probe into the primordial reality, right?"

"But Xu doesn't understand, what are you afraid of in your heart?"

"What do you have to do with what you want after this prime? Aren't you also from the Yuan family now?"

Liu Bei saw that Xu You seemed to have broken through Liu Jian's thoughts, and hurriedly turned his head to look at him.

However, Liu Jian did not have any nervous look.

He smiled indifferently.

In fact, before he came, he knew his purpose, and he would not hide it from Xu Yu in the end.

After all, the person in front of him is also a first-class wise man in the world, and it is impossible for him to be easily deceived by himself.

However, he is not afraid!

Even if Xu You sees through his intentions, he has a way to ensure that Xu You is willing to be used by him in this matter.

Xu You will be willing to do it

own tool man.

Liu Jian leaned forward and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xu, in Liu Jian's opinion, the world is so big, people who can be called heroes, there are few people to talk about, Ben Chu and Zi Yuan are one of them, I don't hide it from you, if I am a pastor, the last thing I want is to be neighbors with Ben Yuan, after all, the people in the Yuan family are too famous, and the enterprising spirit is too strong, I finally went to one side as a pastor, I just want to live a good life, and I implore Brother Ziyuan to help one or two."

Xu You stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "This, I'm afraid I can't help you, it's about the original future, how can I indiscriminately admonish the original for you?" I'm afraid I'm going to be sorry for Deran!"

Liu Jian said: "Ziyuan misunderstood, my thoughts are not all selfish, I actually have a win-win method, which can not only make the original ambition in your heart, but also allow you to realize your ambition, and let me also realize the ambition in my chest, no one suffers, everyone is still safe, isn't it beautiful?"

"A win-win-win? You two are local shepherds, how can you make me win too?" Xu Yu was a little unsure.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan might as well listen to it, if you feel that you are unreasonable, you don't have to pay attention to it, and you don't have to admonish Benchu, if you think it is reasonable, we can study it carefully, how about it?"
