After Mi Zhu served Liu Bei, he won Liu Bei's trust, and his enthusiasm made Mi Zhu even a little uncomfortable.

Sitting at the same table with Liu Bei, he can bear it, but he is really uncomfortable when he sleeps together.

After asking the people around Liu Bei, Mi Zhu knew that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them had always slept together and sat at the same table.

He got goosebumps just thinking about that scene.

And he is now more like the successor of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei......

But Liu Bei was too enthusiastic and honest, so that Mi Zhu couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

On this day, Corporal Liu Bei Lixian humbly asked him for advice on famous talents in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he instantly seemed to see the opportunity for his own liberation, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a pen and paper, and said: "Lord, if you want to say that there are famous people in Xuzhou, it is like a carp crossing the river, and there are countless of them. But he thinks that those who are recruited by the Lord should first have loyalty. ”

"There is a famous man Sun Qian in Beihai, the word Gongyou, this person was recommended to the state by the great Confucian Zheng Gong in the early years, quite famous, everyone at the time thought that he was loyal and promising, if he entered the house in the future, he must be a direct minister!"

"The lowly position also has several sides with this person, if the lord agrees, the lowly position can repair a book, so that he can come to Xiapi as soon as possible!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was very satisfied, but he waved his hand and said, "Zizhong, no." Although you have an old friendship with this Magi, I want him to come to Xiapi to do things, and you must not lose your courtesy. When I personally repair a book, and then prepare a generous gift, let Jian Yong go on a trip in person. ”

"Actually, I was supposed to visit in person, but the imperial army was blocked in Pengcheng and was aggressive, and there was such a big misunderstanding between me and the imperial court, so it had to be like this."

After Mi Zhu surrendered, Liu Bei told Mi Zhu about the things he and the imperial court, and asked Mi Zhu to plan one or two, wanting to change the relationship with the imperial court.

But when Mi Zhu heard it, he also had a big head.

If Liu Bei is not afraid of death, he can surrender to the imperial court now.

But who is not afraid of death?

"It's still the lord who is thoughtful." Mi Zhu slapped his ass quietly, and then said, "I recommend Sun Qian to the lord because I feel that he has justice in his heart, and if he learns what the lord has done, he will definitely come to serve." ”

"In addition, Wang Lang, Xue Li, the minister of Pengcheng, and Zhang Zhao, a native of Pengcheng, are all good talents, but these people have conveyed the goodwill of the lord to them before they serve the lord, but they have not received a reply."

Liu Bei said movingly: "I didn't expect Zizhong to have already done so many things. ”

He sighed with a disappointed expression and said: "Although my ancestors are respected, they are just a small person in Zhuo County who weaves mats and sells shoes, and it is normal for celebrities from all over the world to look down on me Liu Bei. I don't think I should be disappointed by this, but I can't help it, if I can decide my origin, I must change to a better one. ”

Mi Zhu said with a smile, "Why should the lord be sad for this matter, don't say it far away, don't say it to others, what you want to say is only your ancestor, my ancestor emperor who founded the Han Dynasty." His background was only a commoner, and he only became a Qin official when he was nearly thirty years old and became the pavilion chief of Surabaya, which is so similar to the lord! ”

Liu Bei also secretly compared him with Emperor Gaozu, but on the surface, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Zizhong doesn't want to harm me, how can you say this casually." Liu Bei immediately reprimanded in a low voice, "I'm just casually sighing, people's origins are determined by the sky, no matter whether it's good or bad, the heavens have their own share." ”

"These wise men you just mentioned also asked Jian Yong to meet them. Xia Pi and Guangling are withering, I don't think about myself, I should also think about the people, I can't let them follow me, but the life is not a little better, but more and more difficult. ”

Mi Zhu said: "I understand that this is the case, please ask the lord to repair a book himself!" ”

He'd tried it himself.

Wang Lang didn't even give him a message, not only because he didn't want to come, but also because he obviously had a bit of hatred.

In this way, I can only let Liu Bei personally repair a book and try it.

Subsequently, Mi Zhu recommended some people who were not particularly famous in Xuzhou but could serve in the county, enriching and replacing the local officials in Xiapi and Guangling.

While the two discussed, they ordered someone to prepare lunch.

Before the meal was finished, and the matter had not yet been discussed, Liu Bei's personal guards suddenly reported outside, and Guan Yu sent a fast horse to come in the servant country, and there was something important to report.

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still.

He was worried that it was the imperial army that suddenly attacked Xiapi, so he hurriedly called Guan Yu's envoy in.

After asking, I learned that it was the imperial court that sent an envoy to come.

"Why did the imperial court suddenly send an envoy? They were strong and strong, and the capture of Xuzhou was like a bamboo. Zizhong, will this be a fraud? Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Mi Zhu was not sure about this matter, so he had to guess and said, "Maybe this is the lord's chance." There is not much grain and grass left in Pengcheng, and the imperial court's southern expedition seems to have been eating in Xuzhou all the time, and their grain and grass are probably not much. Under such circumstances, the imperial court probably wanted to stabilize the temporary situation in Xuzhou and appease the lord. ”

A trace of gloom flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and then he asked in surprise: "You mean that the imperial court may want to recruit me?" ”

"Maybe it's not Zhao'an, I just want the lord to live up to his name." Mi Zhu didn't notice the abnormality of Liu Bei's face, and said with a smile, "Lu Bu is a rebel general of the imperial court, and he will not be tolerated by His Majesty." But the lord and Lu Bu are different, so that the lord can truly become the feudal official of the imperial court, the lord can also get rid of the past sins, and the court can also get Xuzhou stable, killing two birds with one stone, each taking what he needs. ”

Liu Bei's expression suddenly became uneasy, "But in this case, I'm afraid we will be targeted by Lu Bu!" ”

"If Lu Bu attacks us, Cao Ren will definitely not help, but will watch us lose both of our fights, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Mi Zhu's face also changed, "It turns out that it is such a conspiracy, I thought of Lu Bu, but I ignored that Lu Bu might attack us." When we went south, we were already suspected of using Lu Bu, and if we added this matter, with Lu Bu's unruly temper, I am afraid that we would not want to wait, and we would raise troops to attack us. ”

"At this moment, our foothold is not stable, although the army is wider than that of Lu Bu, but it is more difficult to defend the territory than to attack. Lu Bu will definitely not be able to help the lord, but the lord will also have a hard time gaining a foothold in Xiapi. ”

Liu Bei paced a few steps in place and said, "What the hell is going on in this matter, it will naturally be clear when the imperial court envoy arrives!" ”

"But we have to prepare early for what might happen."

Mi Zhu stood tall and arched his hand and said, "Please make it public!" ”

"An Min, train the army!" Liu Bei said, "The imperial court has already paved the way for us, and we just need to follow suit in Xuzhou." Settle the people in the field, train soldiers and horses, and build armor weapons to prevent accidents. ”

After speaking, Liu Bei suddenly sighed again, "It's just that we don't have much money and food in our hands, it seems that I have to sell my old face and see these gentry and heroes in Xiapi." ”

Mi Zhu's eyes drooped slightly, and then he chuckled: "Why do you need the lord to go out in person in this matter, just go to your job!" ”
