After Liu Bei and Liu Xie talked late at night, nothing happened in the whole Xuchang, and it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival in an instant.

It's the 15th of August.

Cao Cao held a banquet in Sikong Mansion, and the entire Xuchang, civil and military officials all attended, including Cao Ren and others who were far away in Xuzhou, and they all threw down their lieutenants and rushed back from afar.

This Mid-Autumn Festival feast was nominally to celebrate the appointment of Xi Yu to the title of Tai Lieutenant, and around the time of the unitary time, the entire Sikong Mansion was already brightly lit.

After Xi Yu took Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others into Sikong Mansion, all the people he saw along the way congratulated Xi Yu.

For this situation, Xi Yu is still as usual.

Seeing Xi Yu coming, Cao Cao, the main owner of the banquet, immediately pulled Xi Yu to sit next to him.

At this time, everyone lined up all around, and as Cao Cao nodded, a team of attendants began to bring out all the meals and drinks for tonight.

After the banquet opened, Cao Cao was quite impressed, and when he raised his glass, he said a few words casually.

Xi Yu raised the lamp together, with a smile on his face.

In the final analysis, today's drama Yu still recognizes Lao Cao.

From the beginning when he chose to enter Cao Ying, Xi Yu didn't think too much about it.

This is still the case.

He's just doing what he can and what he wants to do!

It's nothing more than what outsiders think.

It doesn't matter if it's Taiwei, Dasi Nong, or Taicang Order.

For Xi Yu, it's just a job title.

It's just fame!

However, the promotion to lieutenant is still useful in this era.

It's just that he doesn't value it now!

At this time, the field has begun to be lively.

Xi Yu chatted with Cao Cao for a few words, and then sat by himself and didn't pay attention to anyone.

Dian Wei came to General Cao Ying's camp again.

I can still hear from afar that some people are laughing at Dian Wei in the name of Dian Wei's death.

And Dian Wei's loud retort was also extremely loud.

Now.

Liu Bei, who was in the middle of the feast, just glanced at Xi Yu from a distance.

Since talking to Liu Xiechang late at night, Liu Bei's thoughts about leaving Xuchang are getting stronger and stronger.

For him, if he continued to stay in Xuchang, sooner or later his mind would be exhausted.

He had to find a way to find all the help to help him get out of Xuchang.

Liu Bei knew that it was impossible to rely on Xi Yu now.

The other party is still standing with Cao Cao for the time being, although he will not embarrass himself, but it is even more difficult to get the other party to help him leave Xuchang.

After taking his eyes off Xi Yu, Liu Bei's eyes began to sweep towards the crowd above the banquet.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the entire Xuchang famous civil and military officials, all present, is some people who are not qualified enough on weekdays, and today is also fortunate to participate in this banquet.

Not only Cao Cao's subordinates, but also Dong Cheng and other Han ministers were also resolutely listed.

This kung fu Liu Bei's eyes fell on Dong Cheng and the others.

Compared with the camp led by Cao Cao, the side of the old ministers of the Han family where Dong Cheng was sitting was much quieter.

On the whole feast, the two sides are like the Jingwei River, which is extremely distinct.

"General Dong, look at those people, it's really lively!"

Someone made sarcastic remarks on Dong Cheng's side.

Dong Cheng didn't speak, he just sat quietly in his place, pouring wine into the wine glass.

"That's Yang Gong's son!"

Someone's eyes fell on the direction of Cao Cao and the others, where Yang Xiu, who was smiling lightly, seemed to be enthusiastically greeting the people under Cao Cao's command with a wine cup.

That look is a bit like I want to blend in.

It's just that in the eyes of Dong Cheng and others, Yang Xiu at this moment is like a harlequin.

obviously has the family background of the fourth generation and the third duke, if he really shows filial piety and honesty, when the time comes, he will never be like this, and he will never be thrown by Cao Cao to do chores.

is also because he is the son of Yang Biao, and the entire Cao Cao command is a little evasive.

In this effort, Liu Bei's gaze also fell on Yang Xiu with the gaze of Dong Cheng and others.

When the previous Yuedan was reviewed, Yang Xiu's talent Liu Bei could also be regarded as seeing.

Although this person is a little arrogant, it is undeniable that a person like the other party is exactly what Liu Bei needs.

Liu Bei's eyes fell on Yang Xiu, and his eyes quietly looked at Yang Xiu, who was surrounding Cao Cao and the others at the moment.

At this moment, Yang Xian stood in front of Xi Yu with a wine cup.

"Congratulations, Captain!"

The expression on Yang Xiu's face looked very sincere.

Xi Yu doesn't have much opinion on it.

Judging from the original history, Yang Xiu was finally integrated into Cao Ying.

If the other party didn't participate in the battle for succession, maybe he wouldn't have been killed by Cao Cao just for a reason.

Yang Xiu's talent was also highly valued by Lao Cao at that time.

It's just that!

Everything has changed a long time ago.

At present, Cao Ang has never died, and even Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and others are not taken into account by Cao Cao at all.

After all, in this day and age, the eldest son and sister-in-law have already decided everything from the root.

Although Cao Ang is not a concubine, the other party is the eldest son, and he grew up with Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's main room, and Cao Ang's identity is naturally rising.

And Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and others were not born to Mrs. Ding, but from Mrs. Bian's knees.

With Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Bian can naturally only be a concubine, and these two people are naturally not concubines.

In this way, they are all concubines, and Cao Ang's eldest son has a natural advantage.

What's more, although Cao Cao hasn't cultivated many sons over the years, when Cao Ang was there, Cao Cao basically took the other party with him to teach.

This is the orthodox heir in Cao Cao's eyes.

There is Cao Ang here.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and others, the only sense of existence they have at the moment is Cao Cao's son!

Without any intention of cultivating other heirs, Cao Cao naturally would not deliberately send Yang Xiu to his son.

And in this case, Yang Xiu's existence is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Placed next to Cao Cao himself, compared with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others, Yang Xiu is a little immature after all.

After all, Cao Cao didn't have any opinion of Yang Xiu.

Lao Cao didn't care if the other party was Yang Biao's son, in fact, as long as Yang Xiu was useful to him, Lao Cao didn't mind using Yang Xiu well.

Now, sending Yang Xiu out to do some work that is not salty or light may be somewhat taken into account by Lao Cao.

It's a grind!

It's just that Cao Cao thinks so, but the rest of Cao Ying will only look at the surface.

Because of Yang Xiu's placement, most people instinctively felt that Cao Cao disliked the other party's identity.

Therefore, at this feast, this situation will be even more obvious.

Almost no one under Cao Cao's command would take the initiative to deal with Yang Xiu.

Even if the other party sticks to his hot face, he is faced with a face full of smiles, and he is cold in an instant.

Such a difference is something that Yang Xiu himself has experienced.

At this moment, a lot flashed through Xi Yu's mind, and he saw Yang Xiu congratulating him.

He didn't have any scruples.

Speaking of the title of this captain, there is more or less Yang Biao in it.

As for what the other party's purpose is, it doesn't matter.

Xi Yu nodded towards Yang Xiu, but didn't say anything.

After paying tribute to Xi Yu, Yang Xiu turned around and walked towards Cao Ren's side.

It's just that Yang Xiu has just approached Cao Ren, and Cao Ren seems to have expected it a long time ago.

His figure turned slightly, as if he didn't see Yang Xiu coming, he raised his wine glass, pulled Yu Ban on the side and began to pour it.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but pause at his feet.

Some of the atmosphere is very obvious.

He had already understood this, and he continued to move towards these people like this, and the results he got would not change much.

Yang Xiu's head drooped slightly, and the tips of his teeth couldn't help but bite.

He has been famous since he was a child, and these people treat him so slowly, Yang Xiu can't bear it anymore after this time.

Although he understands that the current Han family has reached the end of the road.

Cao Cao may have the power to change the world.

But, what does that have to do with him?

He can't even squeeze into this circle!

With this kung fu, Yang Xiu seemed to understand the persistence in his father's heart that day.

Oh, yes!

Their family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and for those under Cao Cao's command, there is an invisible gap between them.

This has been there since the beginning.

Even though the Han family has begun to collapse, his Yang family is much taller than these people at the beginning.

Blindly pandering, just looking for humiliation in yourself!

In the wine jug in his hand, the wine was half full, even if he continued to walk, and turned the whole Sikong Mansion, he would not go down too much if he wanted to come to this drink.

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, Yang Xiu turned around and returned to the corner where he was.

He can only pour himself a drink.

Yang Xiu's expression changed from eagerness at the beginning to a lot darker in an instant.

This kung fu is lively with those under Cao Cao's command, and has nothing to do with him.

"Lord Yang is thin!"

When Yang Xiu's brows were furrowed, a greeting suddenly came from the side of this kung fu.

Yang Biao, who was almost instinctive, had a happy face, he just raised his head, thinking that it was the person under Cao Cao who had come.

was about to answer, but he didn't think about it, but when he looked up, the face that greeted him was not any of the people he hoped for.

The face in front of him, Yang Xiu naturally recognized.

This one, but the imperial uncle who is admitted by today's son himself!

"I've seen Uncle Huang, but I don't know Uncle Huang, what kind of dispatch is there!"

Yang Xiu took the initiative to salute, Liu Bei's status was there after all, even if he didn't have much of a good impression of the person in front of him.

However, the etiquette that the family had long cultivated still made him bow to the other party in a regular manner.

It's just that this kung fu, Yang Xiu's tone is a little salty and not light after all.

Liu Bei didn't care in the slightest.

He knew what kind of person Yang Xiu was, and Liu Bei was somewhat tolerant of talented people.

He sat beside Yang Xiu by himself, and his tone was very enthusiastic.

"Yang Zhubo's previous essay on the Yuedan Commentary, I have read it several times, and every time I read it, I am moved by the talent of Zhubo."

As soon as he came up, Liu Bei began to praise Yang Xiu's previous comments on the Yuedan commentary.

Hearing this, although Yang Xiu still had a cold face, he still reacted somewhat.

"Uncle Huang has won the award, and now that I think about it, that essay is a bit exaggerated!"

For his talent, Yang Xiu is extremely confident.

It's just that, sometimes, there are very few people who can see his talent.

Just as in this world, Maxima is often available, but Bole is hard to find.

This kung fu Liu Bei began to discuss the content of Yang Xiufu's theory.

Yang Xiu could see that the other party had indeed read his own Fu theory, and some of his views even made him feel a little bit of something.

It's just that Yang Xiu is not optimistic about Liu Bei.

On the one hand, although the other party is now the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Bei is too different from the background of these families, and from the beginning of his birth, he is too different.

The other party is nothing more than luck!

Yang Xiu looked down on him in his heart, the person in front of him was nothing more than luck!

If it weren't for Liu Xie's personal admission, the other party would just be just a commoner, even if he made a name for himself.

To be honest, Yang Xiu just looked down on Liu Bei a little.

In layman's terms, it is Liu Bei's previous identity, and Yang Xiu can't look down on it.

And on the other hand.

Now Liu Bei has no power and no background, just hanging the name of this imperial uncle, what can such a person achieve.

And today's Liu Bei really has nothing to look at.

The reputation is better, and he has helped Kong Rong thousands of miles before, and he has been passed on by the other party, and he has helped Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and there are no dazzling deeds.

As for the matter of the eighteenth road princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, if he Liu Bei hadn't relied on Gongsun Zan, he wouldn't even be able to enter the princes' camp.

And indeed.

Liu Bei went all the way, in addition to playing a few yellow scarves, he fought with Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison Pass.

After entering Xuzhou, he had no chance of winning against Cao Cao.

Because of Lu Bu's attack, he turned his head and chose to ally with Cao Cao, and even Xuzhou, which was in his hands, was handed over.

This imperial uncle, General Jiazuo, and the Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion, is like Cao Cao who repaid Li with a peach because of the matter in Xuzhou.

And what is there to care about?

Yang Xiu didn't want to deal with Liu Bei on the side, but the latter was eagerly discussing the other party's argument on Yang Xiu's side.

The other party is so eager, Yang Xiu is not easy to ignore.

can only deal with it casually, but Liu Bei can feel the cold expression to some extent.

Before I knew it, the full moon above the sky hung above the treetops.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xi Yu shouted to Cao Cao, and then took Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others out of Sikong Mansion by himself.

As Xi Yu left the table, all the officials began to get up.

Yang Xiu seemed to be a little impatient, he bowed to Liu Bei, and then got up and chose to leave the table directly.

Liu Bei smiled, followed Yang Xiu, like the master here, and sent the other party out of Sikong Mansion, only then did he reflexively walk slowly in the direction of his own house.

……

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon illuminates the sky.

When Yang Xiu returned to the Yang Mansion, he walked into the courtyard and saw a figure standing in the courtyard.

Yang Biao was wearing a coat and standing under the moon, and after hearing Yang Xiu's footsteps, he turned his gaze.

"My son is back!"

Yang Xiu's current situation under Cao Cao, Yang Biao naturally had already heard of it, and now seeing that the other party was full of alcohol, he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Yang Biao's question, Yang Xiu smiled bitterly.

"My son only learned today that what his father said that day was the words of the old man!"

The identity of the fourth and third princes, from the very beginning, was destined to stand by the side of the Han royal family.

The identity of the fourth and third princes is both an honor and a bondage.

In today's Yang Xiu's opinion, whether it is Cao Cao or other princes, when they look at him, they will not ignore the identity of the fourth world and the third prince.

This identity can't be left behind, and it can't be thrown away.

It's like a brand.

"My son has figured it out now!"

Yang Biao was also a little helpless, and he didn't understand what the status of the Han family was now.

It's just that he can't help it.

is different from the Yuan family's four generations and three dukes, and the path taken by their Yang family has always been civil and political.

And the Yuan family can stand on their own, but their Yang family can't.

Because of their status, it is difficult for them to fall under one of the princes.

Only by standing on the side of the Son of Heaven is the most advantageous choice for them.

It's just that today's Son of Heaven is fledgling, and his strength is too weak after all.

"My son's choice is actually not wrong!"

Under today's world pattern, it is too difficult for the Han family to rely on Liu Xie to regain its prosperity, too difficult!

In such a situation, the Yang family had no choice but to find a way out.

Yang Xiu's defection to Cao Cao is a way out, but this road is not easy to walk.

What's more is that Yang Xiu needs to endure the humiliation, maybe in a few years, the identity of the four worlds and the third prince can be put aside.

But, not now.

The two fathers and sons stood under the moon, and they didn't say anything after all.

Yang Xiu's heart was a little difficult to choose, whether to continue to play a transparent role in the people of Cao Ying, as he did today.

wait, wait until the status of the Yang family is completely erased.

Or, give up the current choice, like your father, try to continue to let this big man continue in the world.

Yang Xiu was in a trance for a while.

Until Yang Biao patted him on the shoulder and returned to the house by himself, Yang Xiu did not make a choice.

……

"Liu Bei is here!"

The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival vacation, Yang Xiu did not take up his post today.

It's about the same time.

A breeze was permeating the courtyard of the Yang family, and outside the Yang Mansion, Liu Bei came quietly.

In the courtyard at this moment, Yang Xian quietly looked at the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard.

Liu Bei suddenly came to visit, but he didn't care at all.

I thought that the other party was coming for my father, but I suddenly heard the Yang family's servants coming to pass the word.

said that it was Liu Bei who came to visit this time, not Yang Biao, but him Yang Xiu.

Hearing this, Yang Xiu's whole person was a little puzzled.

Yesterday's scene is still vivid.

He treated Liu Bei so slowly, and changed him to anyone.

It's good not to have a grudge, how can you come to visit on the second day.
