When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 83 Jia Xu: As everyone knows, I have no talent

"Hahaha, Mr. Jia, you kept me waiting!"

Liu Bei enthusiastically grabbed Jia Xu's arm.

The indifference on Jia Xu's face froze. He found it difficult to adapt to such enthusiasm. Aren't they very familiar with each other?

His surname was Jia, his given name was Xu, and his courtesy name was Wenhe. He had been selected as an incorruptible official when he was young, and had served as an official, even a Langguan in the court. However, because the struggles in the court were too fierce, he claimed to be ill and returned home.

The greatest ambition is not to pursue fame and fortune, or to become an official for generations.

Instead, they have no worries about food and drink and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

If he had not been forced by circumstances, he would never have taken up a career as an official.

Liu Bei noticed Jia Xu's change and immediately let go of him and invited him to the higher position.

"Master, I am just a rough man. How can I deserve such attention from you? It really scares me."

Jia Xu expressed his doubts.

Liu Bei knew that lying in front of such a person would not work.

No conspiracy or trickery can compare to true love in return of true love.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said decisively: "To be honest, I once heard about your deeds in a dream from an immortal. I learned that you have extraordinary talent. If I want to achieve my great cause and help the people, I will definitely need your help!"

"Immortal entrusting a dream?"

Jia Xu was surprised. How could such an extraordinary thing happen to him? However, there was nothing wrong with Liu Bei's words. It sounded sincere. Soon after arriving in Wuyun County, he was able to regain the local nobles and convinced the county officials. This person must be good. Why not give it a try?
Seeing Jia Xu deep in thought, Ma Teng, who was standing beside him, saw it all and was anxious. He thought, Mr. Jia, please speak up! Please speak up! I am so worried!
Just when Ma Teng wanted to say, "Mr. Jia, now that you are here, do you still want to go back? Your family is in such a state! In my opinion, you should just follow Mr. Liu's lead!"

Then the next moment, a notification interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Report——"

The guards rushed into the house.

"What's the matter?"

"Report, Lord, there is a man outside who claims to be your official, his name is Li Yang, and he wants to see you for something important!"

Li Yang?

Ma Teng and Pang De looked at each other. It was another unfamiliar name. They must have come to seek refuge with the Lord of the Mansion. The Lord of the Mansion was really likable. It seemed that our decision was correct!
"Li Yang? Let him in."

"promise."

The guards retreated.

Soon, Li Yang strode over the threshold and walked into the house. He only saluted Liu Bei. His face was still respectful, but he could not hide his anger when he opened his mouth.

"Master, you only sent someone to give me some money and other things. What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Bei said calmly, "This is to thank Mr. Li for leading the way for us."

"Lead the way? This is my job. Does the Lord think I am a businessman who only cares about money?!"

"It's your job."

Liu Bei seemed to have heard some joke.

"Hahaha"

Seeing Liu Bei's loud laughter, Li Yang felt something was wrong, but now that the matter had come to this, there was no turning back! His face fell, "My Lord, are you funny? Is this how you treat people who have made contributions?"

"Shut up!" Ma Teng and Pang De quickly expressed their opinions, "You are the one who can say it, my lord!" "It's okay, Shoucheng, your order will be clear." Liu Bei waved his hand.

There was joy in the eyes of both of them. Lord Liu was willing to call them by their names, which meant he must have treated them as his own people. Very good, promotion was a sure thing!

Liu Bei looked at Li Yang with disgust in his eyes. If Jia Xu hadn't been here, he would have kicked this man out long ago according to his temper.

"Okay, I'll make you understand today."

"All ears!"

"You said that leading the way is not a big deal, but you are in charge of the city gates, and the soldiers are lazy and weak. They don't have any leather armor, and even their weapons are old. Is this how you are as an official?"

Li Yang straightened his chest and said confidently, "It's not my fault. It's all Han Zhubu's fault! Han Zhubu didn't provide us with leather armor and weapons. What should we do?!"

"Leather armor? Weapons?" Liu Bei's disdain grew stronger and stronger. "Why did you only react when we were about to reach the county gate? Why were the gatekeepers so listless? Why did you fawn and beg for mercy after seeing the majesty of our army? You even rushed to report to the chief clerk before you even landed? You couldn't answer when I asked you the reason?!!"

"This, this, this"

Li Yang was sweating profusely and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He had no reason to refute.

"Heh." Liu Bei chuckled. "What I despise most in my life is flatterers. If you want to get an official position, you should show your ability! If you only rely on your mouth and speculation, even if I don't have a general under my command, I would rather go into battle myself than employ people like you! According to Xiaozhi's plan, you should be thrown into the county government's subordinates, and you should be told that it was you who exposed Han Zhubu to me, which led to their punishment. What do you think will be the outcome?"

Li Yang's face turned pale and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If it was really as Liu Fujun said, how could he still gain a foothold in Wuyun County?

Liu Bei continued, "As the sage said, everyone has to die since ancient times, and a man cannot stand without faith! I cut a stone and swore in front of the county government gate that I would not pursue the past. I wanted to give you a chance, but I never thought that you would come to me instead. Speculators should be severely punished!"

"thump."

Li Yang knelt on the ground and bowed repeatedly, "Master, Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, please give me another chance, please give me another chance, I am willing to start as a gatekeeper, a gatekeeper!"

"Someone, drag him away."

Liu Bei waved his hand and directly dismissed Li Yang from his position. He hated such opportunists from the bottom of his heart. After all, with the Han Dynasty in such a situation, wouldn't there be such people who would interfere? If such people were allowed to occupy high positions, it would be disheartening for meritorious people. However, he was still a little surprised that Li Yang came to him. Could it be Xiaozhi again?

Ma Teng and Pang De's faces froze. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Are they speculators? Fortunately, Mr. Jia was invited. It is a great achievement, right? Mr. Jia, you must agree!
"."

Jia Xu looked at Ma Teng and Pang De, who were blinking their eyes out, and his face twitched. Why did I fall into the hands of these two people? I shouldn't have gone home in the first place!
"Mr. Jia, please forgive me. It was just a small accident." Liu Bei sat back next to Jia Xu.

"It's okay. I really admire your clear reward and punishment."

Jia Xu spoke from his heart. As a man who could make three ministers smile, he was much better than Hua Tuo in observing people's words and expressions. Just now he was worried that Liu Bei would take direct action. It can be seen that what Liu Bei said and what he did were basically consistent. He really hated speculators.

Working under such an honest, trustworthy, clear-cut, courageous and capable governor is definitely better than working under the high-ranking officials in the government, right?

But who is Xiaozhi?

Thinking of this, Jia Xu said, "I am willing to accept the Lord's invitation."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Liu Bei could no longer hide his joy, he grinned and said, "Three Dukes! Jia Xu is one of the Three Dukes. Even though he is a vicious minister, he is under the command of you, Cao Mengde!"

Liu Bei realized his gaffe and quickly suppressed his joy.

"Mr. Jia, I would like to recruit you with the position of Gongcao. What do you think?"

Ma Teng and Pang De both showed envious expressions.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "You are joking, my Lord. I am just a rough man without any talent. How can I be a Gongcao? Even being a Shuzuo is already a stretch."
