Chapter 390

Liu Bei was in a bad mood. He changed his mind and no longer rushed back to Yanzhou. Anyway, Yanzhou would soon be no longer his. How about the Yellow Turbans make trouble? Just let them kill them all.

"Let's go, see how sir." Liu Bei turned over and horse.

Lu Zhi was sick, bedridden, and thin as a girl. He was very happy and surprised to see Liu Bei. "Xuande, why are you here?"

Liu Bei was very surprised. "Sir, didn't you recommend me to General Master Yuan as the governor of Yuzhou?"

Lu Zhi was inexplicably confused. He originally lived in seclusion in Shanggu Mountain to recuperate, but Yuan Shaoqiang invited him to be a military advisor. He himself knew that Yuan Shao was invited to be an example. Yuan Shao had a lot of talents and he didn't need to give advice at all. Yuan Shao invited him to his reputation. He was a disciple of Ma Rong and was a senior official. He had a high reputation in the court and the country. When Zhang Jiao's rebellion was suppressed, he wanted to fight in Jizhou, which had a certain influence. Ma Rong's daughter Ma Lun was Yuan Wei's wife, and Lu Zhi also had a deep friendship with the Yuan family. Yuan Shao invited him, but he had to come. But after he came, he basically did not show up and recuperated in the house. He was not aware of Liu Bei's appointment as the governor of Yuzhou.

Liu Bei was very embarrassed. The only reason he could convince himself to be at ease was Lu Zhi's recommendation, and the teacher's order was hard to violate. I never thought that Lu Zhi had no idea about this.

Lu Zhi sighed softly, "Xuande, why don't you go to Chang'an and serve the emperor?"

"Sir, can I go?"

"Of course you can go." Lu Zhi smiled, his face full of fatigue and panting like a cow. "Wang Situ has killed Dong Zhuo, and the emperor is wise. Zhongxing is not possible at all. You are extremely brave, and Guan Yu and a warrior like Zhang Fei will definitely make achievements. Do you know that Cao Cao is in Guanzhong, now he is the General of Zhendong and the Captain of the Sili. What can he do, why can't you?"

Liu Bei was moved. "Then... can you recommend me?"

"Of course." Lu Zhi sat up and ordered his eldest son Lu Min to prepare his pen and write a letter of recommendation, asking Liu Bei to go to Chang'an to find Yang Biao. He once had a proofreading book with Yang Biao in Dongguan and had a close relationship. Yang Biao is currently Sikong and has a considerable say. With him, it is easy for Liu Bei to enter the court to become an official, and he can still find a position in Sikong's Mansion.

Liu Bei was so grateful that he left crying.

——

When he returned to the inn, Liu Bei took out Lu Zhi's recommendation book and asked Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others to read it and discuss whether to stay or not.

Jian Yong shook his head and expressed his objection. His opinion was that most of the people in power in the court had a relationship with Yuan Shao. If they abandoned Yuan Shao and went to Chang'an secretly, even if there was Lu Zhi's recommendation, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to be reused. Yang Biao and Lu Zhi had a good relationship, but no matter how good their relationship was, could it be better than the relationship between Yuan and Yang families? Yang Biao's wife was Yuan Shao's sister.

As for Cao Cao, who Liu Bei planned to imitate, Jian Yong also said that the situation was different and he could not imitate it. Cao Cao was beaten by Sun Ce and abandoned his armor, so he had no choice but to travel west to Chang'an. He did not betray Yuan Shao. His son Cao Ang is still under Yuan Shao's command and sent Yuan Shu's son to Yecheng. Moreover, although Cao Cao's reputation was not bad, he had been living in Luoyang for many years. His foundation in the court could not be compared with Liu Bei.

You can go to Chang'an, but not now, you must find a suitable opportunity. In short, you cannot easily betray Yuan Shao, leave a bad reputation, and cut off your own way out. No matter what, judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao is the most likely to be the winner. Gongsun Zan is so strong that he was defeated by Yuan Shao in a blink of an eye? So what can the court do? There are more famous scholars there, and there is no place for Liu Bei to establish a foothold.

Jian Yong's few words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing Liu Bei's hope.

Just then, someone came to visit. Liu Bei took the Mingta and looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and was surprised. "Xun Yu, Yingchuan, have you heard of it?"

Jian Yong took the famous sect and saw that the words "Xun Yu in Yingchuan, Wenruo asked about daily life" were written on it, and he thought about it. "I seem to remember that there was such a person who said that he was the talent of Wang Zuo. He was Xun Shu's grandson and Xun Shuang's follower."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly went out to greet him. Although he had never met Xun Yu, he knew that Yingchuan was a famous scholar, Xin Ping and Guo Tu were all from Yingchuan, and Xun Chen was also, so it was very likely that he was of the same clan as Xun Yu. But he had never met Xun Chen, so he was not sure.

Zhang Fei hurriedly followed him out. Guan Yu stroked his beard and looked at him disdainfully.

When Liu Bei went out, he saw a Confucian scholar who was of his age standing in the courtyard with a jade face and an extraordinary demeanor. Although the courtyard was coming and going, he was like a warm jade gui, quiet and peaceful, without any interference, and had the aura of the court. Liu Bei saw him at a glance. He accelerated his pace and rushed forward, bowed from a distance.

"Liu Bei, Zhuo County, has met Mr. Wang. How dare you ask if Mr. Wang and Xun Junchen, the famous scholar under the leader, are relatives?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and bowed back. "It's my brother."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly brought Xun Yu into it. Xun is a famous family in Yingchuan, the four chiefs of Yingchuan - Xun Chen Zhonghan has become famous in the past decade. With Liu Bei's identity, it is not easy to make friends with such famous scholars. Not only did he meet him today, but Xun Yu took the initiative to visit him. He was a little flattered, just like when he received a request for help from Kong Rong.

Liu Bei invited Xun Yu into the room, and the guests and guests were seated. Jian Yong accompanied him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei. Xun Yu looked at them and reported his names to Jian Yong. After the ceremony, he laughed softly: "The envoy is a heroic man, these two warriors are also a handsome man."

Liu Bei was happy and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to come forward to pay homage. Guan Yu disagreed and bowed his hand in a hurry and announced his name. However, Zhang Fei was very respectful and greeted him again and again. Xun Yu returned the favor one by one, with a gentle attitude and no airs of a famous scholar at all.

After a few cold words, Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Xun Yu about his purpose. Xun Yu smiled and said, "Yu has been away from his hometown for a long time and misses his hometown. He heard that the envoy, the envoy, had been at war with Sun Ce again. He wanted to find out what Sun Ce did in Yuzhou and see if his hometown is safe."

Liu Bei felt very disappointed, but it was difficult to show it on his face. Finally, a famous scholar came to visit, but he did not seek refuge with him, but came to ask Sun Ce about his political achievements in Yuzhou. He thought about it and decided to tell the truth, and then he roughly told what he knew. He was very upset when he said good things about Sun Ce, but he knew better that if he lies, he would sooner or later he would be exposed, and it would be even more despised.

After listening quietly, Xun Yu asked about Liu Bei's situation in Yanzhou. Liu Bei sighed and said truthfully. By the way, he asked Xun Yu how to get along with famous scholars. Xun Yu thought about it and talked about him.

"The commander Lu Zigan is in Yecheng. Have you ever seen him?"

"I just returned from visiting Master Lu. Although he is weak, he is still in good looks."

Xun Yu shook his head. "I just went to see him a few days ago. He worked too hard for the country and had exhausted his energy. He urgently needed rest. Yecheng was too lively and was afraid it would be detrimental to his health. It would be better to find a quiet and cool place. If he could go back to his hometown to rest, it would be even better."

Liu Bei was confused and responded vaguely. After saying a few more gossips, Xun Yu left. Liu Bei took him to the door and saw a four-wheeled carriage parked in front of the door, which was extremely novel. He couldn't help but take a look. When Xun Yu got on the car, he turned around and went back to the house and crossed the threshold. One foot inside and the other foot outside, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared.
