Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 11 Teachers come from the same source, and tactics hide machine changes

Liu Bei thought carefully: Even if Zheng Ping is not here, leaving a good impression on Zheng Xuan will also help to invite Zheng Ping in the future.

Wang Xiu saw that Liu Bei was sincere and both were county magistrates in Qingzhou, so he still had to give him face.

What's more, Liu Bei's entreaty is just a recommendation, and it will not embarrass Wang Xiu.

"Mr. Kang Cheng is a well-known official here, and he has a lot of disciples. County magistrate Liu should not lose his courtesy." Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Fei and reminded him kindly.

Zhang Fei suddenly felt a little unhappy, the hint in his eyes was too obvious, right?
Could it be that I, Zhang Fei, do not know etiquette?
"I——"

Just as Zhang Fei was about to speak, Liu Bei pulled him off: "Thank you County Magistrate Wang for reminding me, I'll prepare presents right now!"

"But there is an important matter in our county and we can't stay in Gaomi for a long time. I would like County Magistrate Wang to make an appointment for me as soon as possible."

Wang Xiu nodded: "Naturally, I will see Mr. Kang Cheng later. If Mr. Kang Cheng is free, County Magistrate Liu will be able to see you tonight."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and thanked.

After leaving the government office, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted loudly: "Brother, I understand! That Wang Xiu is saying that I don't know how to be polite! How come I don't know how to be polite?"

Liu Bei raised his forehead in distress: "Yide, I reminded you earlier that you must address Mr. Xianmou with respect! Don't just call him by his name."

Zhang Fei was embarrassed immediately: "Didn't I call him by his first name? Wang Xiu is troublesome!"

"Mr. Kang Cheng is a famous official here, and I will definitely respect him."

Wang Xiu didn't break his promise, and rode his horse to Zheng Xuan's village after Liu Bei left.

The news of Liu Bei's arrival quickly reached Zheng Xuan's ears.

"This Liu Bei came to visit Xianmou as soon as he became Gaotang Ling, and his desire to seek talents is impressive." Zheng Xuan was a little surprised.

For Liu Bei's impression, Zheng Xuan only stayed in Zheng Ping's introduction.

[Although he does not promote filial piety, he has the heart to help the community, treats people sincerely, and sympathizes with the people, and has the courage to personally fight the enemy. 】

But now, Zheng Xuan has another impression of Liu Bei.

Looking for talents!

The county magistrate is no longer a petty official.

With such a capacity, there is no need to visit Zheng Ping in person.

Only one conquest document is needed to demonstrate Liu Bei's desire to seek talents.

After all, the current Zheng Ping is just a white body.

"Uncle Zhi, please tell me that the old man is hosting a banquet in the village tonight!" Zheng Xuan agreed to Liu Bei's visit, and was going to take care of Zheng Ping.

If Liu Bei's virtue is not enough, even if Zheng Ping wants to become an official, Zheng Xuan will stop him.

Wang Xiu was a little surprised.

The recommendation for Liu Bei was just due to Wang Xiu's status as a colleague, but Wang Xiu did not guarantee that Zheng Xuan would agree.

But I didn't expect that Zheng Xuan was so straightforward, and he also expressed appreciation for Liu Bei in his words.

"Mr. Kang Cheng, can Mr. Wang attend tonight?" Wang Xiu became interested in Liu Bei.

Zheng Xuanqi said: "Magistrate Wang is also interested in Liu Bei?"

Wang Xiu said frankly: "Wang is just strange. Mr. Kang Cheng seems to be quite enthusiastic about Liu Bei."

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "It's not that the old man is enthusiastic, but that he is planning to come back this time. I hope that the old man can make Liu Bei famous."

"The old man naturally wants to meet this Liu Bei, and see how many virtues he has, so that Xianmou can take the initiative to make him famous."

Wang Xiu was surprised: "Does Mr. Ping respect Liu Bei so much?"

"In Wang's impression, Mr. Ping is sincere, courteous and courteous, but his vision is very high."

"Except for Donglai Taishici, I have never heard of Mr. Ping taking the initiative to make a name for anyone in Qingzhou."

Zheng Xuan sighed softly: "When it comes to commenting on the world's famous officials and outstanding figures, the obvious ones often have different opinions from ordinary people."

Thinking of Zheng Pingjiao and Tao Qian's comments, Zheng Xuan felt a headache.

Both Jiao He and Tao Qian are regarded by Zheng Xuan as outstanding people in the world, but in Zheng Ping's eyes, they are all mediocre people chasing fame without real talent.

Fortunately, Zheng Xuan didn't hear Zheng Ping's evaluation of Kong Rong, otherwise he couldn't help asking for family law.

After leaving Zheng Xuan for a while, Wang Xiu came to the city to find Liu Bei and told Liu Bei that Zheng Xuan would hold a banquet at the villa tonight.

But Wang Xiu did not tell Liu Bei that Zheng Ping intended to make his name famous.

Tonight's banquet is both a treat and a test.

Liu Bei rejoiced in his heart.

Liu Bei was not afraid that Zheng Xuan would look down on him, but he was afraid that Zheng Xuan would not even give him a chance to meet him.

"Yide, you are not allowed to speak tonight!" Liu Bei was delighted, but he did not forget to tell Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei refused to accept it and said, "Brother, you are also a high-ranking official! Although Zheng Xuan is a famous official, the eldest brother is not bad, and you are still a member of the Han family. Why do you have to be so cautious, it will only make people look down on you."

Liu Bei reprimanded lightly: "Yide, treat famous officials with humility."

"There can be many Gao Tanglings in this world, but Mr. Kang Cheng only has one."

"If you don't listen, I will go to the meeting alone tonight."

Zhang Fei muttered: "That's not acceptable! Before I left, my second brother said that if I leave my elder brother half a step away, I will smash all the wine I have hidden when I go back."

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to speak again, Zhang Fei quickly waved his hands: "Brother, I was joking just now."

"I promise not to speak tonight!"

Seeing Zhang Fei's duplicity, Liu Bei covered his forehead in distress.

Night falls.

Liu Bei suppressed his excitement and followed Zhang Fei to Zheng Xuan's village with gifts.

Wang Xiu greeted Liu Bei early in front of the village, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he bowed closer and said, "Magistrate Liu, Mr. Kang Cheng is already waiting, please follow me!"

Liu Bei thanked him gratefully and said, "I have the County Magistrate of King Lao, and Liu Bei will be rewarded for the love today."

Wang Xiu secretly exclaimed.

Wang Xiu didn't know much about Liu Bei, except that Liu Bei resigned in anger with the county magistrate when he was the county magistrate in Xiami County, and the rest knew that Liu Bei was the new Gaotang magistrate.

"The words are sincere, and the eyes are not flattering, this Liu Bei is really promising!"

"Resigning from the post of Xia Micheng and being able to be promoted to Gaotang Ling in just a few months is indeed extraordinary."

"If he can serve in Beihai, Prime Minister Kong will have a little more confidence in his ambition to calm down the difficulties."

"If this Liu Bei passes Mr. Kang Cheng's test, he must be recommended to Prime Minister Kong."

Liu Bei wanted to ask Zheng Ping to become an official, and Chen Ji, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, wanted to ask Zheng Xuan to recommend talents. Wang Xiu was even more ruthless, thinking of poaching Liu Bei into Beihai County.

Come to the village.

Wang Xiu recommended each other to Liu Bei and Zheng Xuan.

As soon as Liu Bei saw Zheng Xuan, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire: "Liu Bei, a disciple of General Lu Zhonglang in Zhuo County, has met Mr. Kang Cheng."

Zheng Xuan was taken aback: "Are you under Brother Zigan?"

Liu Bei said frankly: "During the Xiping period, my fellow clan Liu Deran and Gongsun Zan from Liaoxi and I worshiped under Master Lu."

"Although Master Lu is not in the official career now, I dare not forget what Master Lu taught in the past."

Zheng Xuan put away his contempt: "In the past, the old man was able to worship under Fufeng Mashi's sect, all thanks to the recommendation of brother Zigan."

"Since you are brother Zigan's master apprentice, you have the same origin as the old man."

"Xuande knows, where is Brother Zigan now?"
