"Yes, I was abrupt, seeing such a talent, I should go in person."

Liu Bei patted the back of Xu Shu's hand and asked softly: "At this time, it is the end of the year, Mr. Wolong must be at home, and the military advisor can temporarily hand over his official business and lead me to invite him out of the mountain?" ”

"Ahh

Xu Shu showed a tangled expression, and explained in a low voice after a while: "I asked Kong Ming at the beginning of the year, and he made it clear that he had no plans to go out, if he went with the lord at this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to see each other at that time, and the lord had better go alone, or find another companion to accompany him."

"Why bother?" Zhang Fei shouted impatiently: "The military advisor quickly tells me where Wolong lives, and I will invite him on behalf of the eldest brother to ensure that the task is completed." ”

Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei's tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wolong is a master, what method do you plan to use?" ”

"I naturally treat each other with courtesy."

"If Mr. Wolong doesn't come out of the mountain, what will the third brother do?"

"If Wolong doesn't know how to be interesting, don't blame me for being rude, just tie it back."

"Nonsense."

Liu Bei waved his hand and frowned and scolded, because Zhang Fei's words had made Xu Shu's face change greatly, and Liu Bei followed up and added: "The third brother and the military advisor stay in Wancheng, and I will go with the second brother and Ziyang to invite." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei pursed his mouth, and his tone suddenly softened: "Since everyone is going, I have to go too."

Liu Ye took advantage of Liu Bei's contemplation, and said with a beard: "Yuan Zhi's concerns are reasonable, if he leads the envoy to invite, it will make Kong Ming unhappy, not only can he not invite Wolong out of the mountain, but also let Yuan Zhi and his friends have a gap, I think Yuan Zhi should not only go together, but also write a letter to inform Kong Ming in advance, so that the other party can be prepared." ”

"Just do it according to Ziyang's wishes, please ask the military advisor to quickly repair the book first, we will prepare gifts, and then go out of the city to visit the virtuous in a few days."

After Liu Bei instructed Xu Shu, he looked at Xu Wei who was in the last seat, and said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, you came all the way from Huainan, and you happened to have a lively time here." ”

"It's all up to Uncle Huang's arrangement."

Xu Wei was in charge of the liaison between Wancheng and Hefei, and he needed to use trade routes to convey information, otherwise he could easily be arrested as a detail.

At this time, the Jingzhou underwear franchise store had not yet opened, and Xu Wei had to wait for the first order from Xiangyang to be sent to Xudu, so that he could fish in troubled waters in the caravan.

According to Liu Ye's intentions, Xu Shu wrote a letter to send someone to Wollongong, Longzhong, mentioning that Liu Bei was a benevolent and righteous lord, and had recently planned to seek Jingxiang talents, and euphemistically suggested that Zhuge Liang seize the opportunity.

After Xu Shu finished writing the letter, he calmly handed it over to Liu Bei for review.

The letter did not expose Liu Bei's secret, and Xu Shu did not invite Zhuge Liang to join, as if telling what he had seen and heard in Wancheng, more like a normal greeting between friends.

With Zhuge Liang's ingenuity, he must be able to guess that Liu Bei is going to find him.

It can also be regarded as Xu Shu ventilating the news for his friends, so that Zhuge Liang can be mentally prepared in advance, so that Liu Bei will not be abrupt when he appears later.

Xu Shu said that he had tried his best, and Liu Bei needed to be sincere if he wanted to invite talents to come out of the mountain.

Liu Bei is full of confidence in this, if he treats people sincerely, he asks himself to be unsurpassed in the world.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, the eighth day of the first month.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Ye, and rushed to Xiangyang with gifts and other things.

It has been snowing since the beginning of the year, and it is like goose feathers in the first month.

The earth is covered in silver, and the horse's hooves are churning and treading the snow without a trace.

If nothing else, there will be an accident.

Liu Bei braved the wind and snow and knocked on Zhuge Liang's thatched firewood door.

The little boy who opened the door told the master that he was not at home, and no stranger could be left in the thatched house to rest, and the implication was that Liu Bei should leave quickly.

Liu Bei not only didn't leave a gift, but he didn't even send out the carefully prepared prayer post, and everyone was stopped at the door.

Seeing that the child was rude, Zhang Fei was so angry that he immediately demolished the wooden door in front of him, but fortunately he was controlled by Guan Yu next to him.

Liu Bei scolded in a deep voice: "Before you came, you said that you are not allowed to mess around, how can you be like other people's children?" ”

"What's wrong with the kids?" Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened, and he shouted unrelentingly: "We are not bad people, why did he lock us out, it really makes sense." ”

"If you are so rude, you will go back to Wancheng immediately."

Liu Bei frowned and took out a killer weapon, and Zhang Fei bowed his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei: "Big brother, our brother came with sincerity, and Xu Junshi also wrote a letter in advance to remind him that this person happened to go out to save his relatives so coincidentally, and he obviously deliberately avoided it, and now that the heavy snow is falling, I don't know when it will stop, is it to wait nearby or go back to Wancheng?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and replied: "It is reasonable for the first month of the year, Yuan Zhi didn't say when we will arrive in the letter, you can't let Mr. Wolong keep waiting, right?" ”

"Those These"

Guan Yu lifted the gift reminder in his left hand, which means how to deal with these things?

Liu Ye saw Liu Bei frowning and thinking, so he gave his hand and said, "Envoy, I remember that there is a wine shop open under the hill, why don't we order some boiled wine, sit down and discuss slowly." ”

"I agree."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was impatient to answer, Liu Bei agreed with his head, and then everyone beat their horses and went straight to the wine store.

After a while, a group of people entered the store and sat around the fire.

Liu Ye saw that the three brothers had different expressions, some were angry, some were unwilling, and some were disappointed.

When he got up to pour wine for Liu Bei, Liu Ye smiled and made a suggestion: "Kong Ming has not yet decided the date for returning to his relatives when he goes out to the province, and Longzhong is not far from Xiangyang, so why don't you bring gifts to visit the New Year?" By the way, let General Guan explain that he was impersonated, we can help Liu Jingsheng retreat from the enemy, but we can't let General Guan be stigmatized. ”

"Give the gift to Kong Ming directly to Liu Biao for New Year's greetings? Why didn't I think of that? Your brain is alive. Zhang Fei smiled and gave Liu Ye a thumbs up.

Liu Ye didn't have time to respond, Guan Yu nodded and agreed: "I also agree with Mr. 's words, let's suffer a clear loss, but we can't suffer a secret loss." ”

"Since everyone agrees, let's go to Xiangyang to live for a while, and wait for the New Year to come back to visit."

"Still coming?"

Seeing Zhang Fei frowning and asking, Liu Bei asked in a deep voice: "Otherwise?" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head and didn't answer, Guan Yu couldn't help but admonish: "Big brother, I want to go back to Wancheng to sit in the town, after the beginning of spring, the war in the northwest will start, how can we have the leisure to come to see Wolong again?" In fact, Xu Junshi and Mr. Ziyang are both great talents, there is no need to go near and far to find a crazy student, and this talent may not be true."

"Yuan bluntly said that it is chiseled, and it will not be bad to think about."

When Liu Bei was talking to himself, he suddenly turned to Liu Ye and asked: "Yun Chang's worries are not unreasonable, seeking talents needs to be in his spare time, and the timing doesn't seem to be good now, Ziyang, what is your opinion?" ”

Liu Ye raised his head and closed his eyes briefly, and then replied: "Although spring returns in February, the weather has not warmed up at all, and it is unlikely that there will be a war at this time, the key is that General Long will send a message for thousands of miles, and let Yuan Zhi recommend talents for the envoy, which must be Zhuge Kongming, I think the envoy should be cautious, after all, he accurately predicted the death of Sun Ce." ”

"Yunqi doesn't know Wolong, but he intends to ask me to invite Wolong out of the mountain, could it be that he has the ability to watch the stars?"
