We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Liu Bei was a little disappointed.

Xi Yu's purpose of coming made the hope in his heart disappear like water from a bamboo basket.

Just for the few guards around you?

Although the situation in front of me is different from what I expected.

But for Liu Bei, it was good that Xi Yu could appear here in person with Huang Zhong.

A few guards are nothing more than an order.

It doesn't even matter whether Xiyu comes or not as long as someone comes to notify her.

Whether or not to change the guards does not have much impact on Liu Bei.

The corners of his mouth opened slightly, and Liu Bei smiled softly. At this time, he put aside the thoughts in his mind.

Then speak.

"Since it is necessary for recruitment, you must be prepared!"

Liu Bei had no objections to the matter of guarding, but he had less expectations at this time.

Xi Yu nodded and turned to look at Huang Zhong.

"Old Huang, let's go and ask the guards if they are willing to go to the supply camp?"

After informing Huang Zhong, the latter stood up, bowed to Liu Bei, and Huang Zhong quickly walked out of the main hall.

At this moment, Liu Bei's guards were just standing in the courtyard.

As soon as Huang Zhong came out, he waved to a few people, and the guards followed and approached Huang Zhong.

"General Huang, do you have anything to tell me?"

Perhaps because of his previous familiarity, Huang Zhong smiled at the fact that several people called him a general.

"No need to call me general, I'm older than you, just call me brother!"

"I have nothing else important to do with you on this trip!"

Huang Zhong paused, with a smile on his face.

"As you know, sir, your supply camp will be recruiting soldiers soon. I thought of you, so I wanted to come over and ask you!"

"Are you willing to come with me to work in Mr. Fengyi's supply camp?"

As soon as he said these words, several guards beside him were obviously excited.

The baggage camp!

This is the place that everyone in Cao's army longs for. Although they serve as guards, they naturally have no objections to the people in the transport camp.

"When the selection was held for the transport battalion, I had the intention to participate, but unfortunately I lost the selection. I didn't expect..."

"Me too!"

These guards all came all the way from Yanzhou.

When the supply camp was first built, several of them went to participate in the selection, but unfortunately they were not selected.

Now that they have the opportunity to enter the supply camp, it is naturally a happy thing for several people.

Now that the entire supply camp is within Cao's army, it symbolizes an iron army.

Seeing how many people were willing, Huang Zhong nodded: "In that case, just wait until tomorrow to report to the supply camp. I'll be waiting for you!"

Several people bowed their hands towards Huang Zhong in response.

At this time, Huang Zhong glanced in the direction of the main hall again, but his husband did not come out, so he followed a few guards to reminisce about the past while waiting for Xi Yu outside.

In the main hall at this moment.

After Huang Zhong went out, Liu Bei's eyes also moved a little with him.

"He is a good man who values ​​love and justice!"

Liu Bei had misunderstood that Huang Zhong was a liar. Thinking about it now, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It would be a pity to miss such a man in front of him.

What's more important is that the way he looks at people is almost the same. He never thought that the result would be like this.

He also knew that Huang Zhong had lent money to him because those guards had borrowed money from him.

Unexpectedly, just such a thing, Huang Zhong has always remembered it in his heart. This kind of person is exactly what he yearns for.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Seeing Liu Bei's eyes looking a little lost, Xi Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Xuan Dejun is doing well these days!"

He asked casually, and upon hearing this, Liu Bei turned around and smiled bitterly at Xi Yu.

good?

Perhaps such ordinary days are probably excellent for other people.

But, in Liu Bei's view.

It was even more uncomfortable for him to have an empty ambition of bravery but no place to use it.

He is not willing to be an ordinary person.

When he was young, he worshiped the great scholar Lu Zhi as his teacher. At that time, he was very sensual and sensual.

At that time, his inner ambition was to restore the family's glory.

Later, the Yellow Turbans rioted and the world was in chaos.

In his twenties, with a heroic spirit, he took his two sworn brothers, hurriedly recruited thousands of soldiers and went straight to the Yellow Turban battlefield.

After fighting dozens of battles, large and small, he finally surrendered to his mentor and went out with the army.

After pacifying the Yellow Turbans, he originally thought that his contribution was not small, and the court would give him the title of Sima of another department no matter what.

I never thought that in the end I would be a little Anxi County Captain.

Of course, Liu Bei was naturally able to accept the leap from being a white body to becoming a captain of Anxi County.

During his tenure, he made many political achievements, and the people all praised him.

However, what I didn't expect was that not long after this, the imperial court sent a postal supervisor to inspect.

He believed that he had made no mistakes in his duties, but the postal supervisor did not come here for inspection. The other party was lucky along the way, just to harvest money!

At that time, he realized that the whole court was in trouble.

They are all rotten, starting from the Ling Emperor to a small postal governor, they are all rotten.

In anger, he whipped the postal supervisor, hung up the seal and left.

Not long after, the Yellow Turban rebels reappeared, and he led two more brothers to join the army.

There were no more than a thousand people scattered around, and they fought several battles in succession.

Until the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. Behind him, eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo.

After leaving Hulao Pass, we went round and round again.

…

Just in a hurry, several years have passed.

And now, although he carries the title of an imperial uncle, this is indeed not what he wants.

Even when he was the captain of Anxi County, he was still free.

The world is so big that Liu Bei has nowhere to go.

But now, even though he has the title of imperial uncle, he has become like a bird in a cage and a fish in a pond.

Deeply restricted and unable to escape.

Who can say which is better or worse in this situation?

Liu Bei glanced at Xi Yu leisurely, why didn't he meet someone like Fengyi in the early years?

If he had Fenyi, what would his situation be like today?

Liu Bei yearned for it.

The dark holes seemed to be somewhat divergent, and he turned to look at the sky outside the main hall.

The weather outside is perfect.

The stars shine.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked away, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart.

He turned back to look at Xi Yu, and all the depressed energy that had been condensed in his heart burst out from his words in an instant.

"In honor of my righteousness, I have been preparing for this for more than ten years. There is no one and no land. I will tell you the truth. If I have a foundation, this world's mediocre people have nothing to worry about!"

Liu Bei said this calmly, without any concern in front of Xi Yu.

As if he trusts Xi Yu, he is not afraid that these words will spread in the future.

Now that he is in Xuchang, if such words are really spread, it may lead to death for Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei's depressed mood has been suppressed in his heart for too long.

After hearing Dao Xiyu's question, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Xi Yu never expected that Liu Bei would dare to say such words directly in front of him.

There may be some trust in this.

Or, with a bit of temptation, go all out.

This also shows a bit of Liu Bei's personality charm.

If he doesn't know where history is going, if he can't see that far.

Perhaps with this trust and Liu Bei's words, Xi Yu will be like some people and be moved by it.

Then he helped Liu Bei make plans and escape from Xuchang.

It's a pity that he won't do this.

Xi Yu had no doubt in his mind whether Liu Bei was capable or not.

Perhaps if Liu Bei and Cao Cao were given the same initial foundation, it is still unclear what the world would be like.

However, in such a world, war may last longer.

But for Xi Yu now, all he wants is stability in the world.

Just less chaos!

Although Cao Cao had many shortcomings, he was able to quickly pacify the entire north in this troubled time.

He has already chosen Cao Cao and will not choose anyone else again.

Even Liu Bei is not bad, and Xi Yu recognizes his ability.

pity.

Right now, he doesn't need another Liu Bei, King of Hanzhong, or Emperor Zhaolie in this world.

If he is cruel.

Maybe Liu Bei has died long ago!

"Yu is clear about Mr. Xuande's ambition, and he also recognizes Mr. Xuande's ability!"

Xi Yu chuckled, and Liu Bei's pupils couldn't help but dilate when he heard this.

Xiyu recognized him!

Did he stump the other party and plan to help him?

Liu Bei was vaguely excited, but before the excitement could be expressed, Xi Yu in front of him couldn't help but shake his head.

"Yu once asked Mr. Xuande what kind of world he longed for!"

"Today Yu doesn't want to ask about this anymore!"

Xi Yu looked at Liu Bei, then turned his eyes outside the hall, looking toward the sky in the distance.

"For Yu, there is not much difference between the world that Xuandejun and I long for!"

"It's nothing more than that the people have something to rely on, something to eat, and a place to live..."

"It's just that Yu wants to ask Mr. Xuande!"

"Are you thinking about the people of the world, or are you just trying to restore the glory of your ancestors, and do you want some fame and fortune?"

"For the Liu family's empire?"

Xi Yu's tone was calm, but the words in these words were powerful.

Liu Bei was a little stunned.

What was he doing? His goal from the beginning was to restore the glory of his ancestors.

Furthermore, it is for the people of the world.

Liu Bei understood that if he wanted to make a career in this world, he had to rely on the most ordinary common people in the world.

However, Xi Yu's words had another meaning.

If it is not for fame and fortune, it is only for the stability and prosperity of the world!

Whether you are in a high position or not may not mean much.

"It seems that Mr. Xuande already understands in his heart!"

Liu Bei served the world, but his heart was still more or less for the Liu family, in order to restore the glory of his ancestors.

His last name had defined him from the beginning.

He didn't have many options.

"Brother Xuande, have you carefully seen the world today? Have you ever let go of your worries and devoted yourself to Xuchang City to see what the people are like today?"

Playful and admonishing words.

He did not hope that his short conversation could change Liu Bei's inner thoughts.

But, at least he can give the other party a good suggestion.

Go and see the world for yourself, put aside your ideals and go see it.

Probably, the feeling will be different.

Today's Xuchang is in a prosperous state. If Liu Bei can see the true nature, things may change.

Xiyu didn't say anything more.

What needs to be said has been said. Liu Bei hoped that he could give him a way to escape from Xuchang, but Xi Yu couldn't give it and couldn't.

I won’t give it either!

After finishing his words, Liu Bei was a little dazed and seemed to be seriously considering Xi Yu's suggestion.

He did not disturb Liu Bei. After getting up and walking out of the main hall, he waved to Huang Zhong.

Without waiting for Liu Bei to see him off, the two left Liu Bei's mansion.

After coming out of the gate, it was getting late.

Under the dim sky, the expression on Xi Yu's face was very dull. Huang Zhong followed him without saying a word.

The gentleman seemed to have been chatting with Liu Bei in the main hall for a long time.

As for what the two said, Huang Zhong didn't think about it.

After returning all the way to the opera house, Huang Zhong turned around to check on Huang Xu's situation, while Xi Yu walked slowly straight to the back hall.

At this time, the two wives of his family seemed to be waiting for his return.

Early June.

It coincides with the season of awnings.

After Xiyu talked with Liu Bei that day, Xiyu heard that Liu Bei started wandering around Xuchang alone.

The fancy clothes he was wearing were changed into ordinary attire.

Liu Bei did not choose to make friends with scholars, but began to wander among the traders and civilians traveling to Xuchang every day.

These things are considered handy for Liu Bei.

He used to be a good boy from Zhuo County, Youzhou.

Xi Yu didn't pay too much attention to this situation.

At this time, Cao Cao reported to Emperor Liu Xie and decided to conquer Zhang Xiu again.

At the same time, Cao Ying's counselors also had other ideas for the Guanzhong area because of Li Jue's proactive friendship.

Same month.

In the name of the imperial court, Cao Cao sent his servant Pei Mao to the Guanzhong area to temporarily stabilize Li Jue.

Immediately after Guanzhong was calm for the time being, Cao Cao raised one hundred thousand troops and personally led the army straight to where Zhang Xiu was.

This time, that guy Dian Wei didn't say he wanted to join in the fun.

Ever since he had the title of Zhuang Shang Hou on his head, Dian Wei had been teased a lot by the generals in Cao's camp, and even Xu Chu had laughed in front of Dian Wei.

But before the person died, there was already a posthumous title. What Dianwei didn't expect was that the Han newspapers hosted by the Xu brothers would also publish this matter.

Until now, anyone in Xuchang who knew Dian Wei would give him a mournful greeting when they met him.

As a result, during this period of time, Dian Wei, who was originally simple-minded and didn't have too many worries on weekdays, was given the title of Zhuang Mage.

The whole person feels a little depressed.

Dian Wei hunkered down in his mansion and did not dare to go to the supply camp for a while.

Xi Yu was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, it was just to increase Dian Wei's memory.

Today's development is pretty good. ,

As long as this guy can remember the meaning of this great moment of mourning in the future, all this will be enough.

As for Dian Wei being depressed, Xi Yu is not worried at all.

That strong-minded man may have been a little depressed these past two days, but he will probably get used to it in a short time.

Lao Cao led his troops to march south.

In a few days, the army arrived at Wan County, and Xun You went out with the army.

Although Zhang Xiu was in front of Cao Cao this time, Cao Cao did not directly choose to attack Zhang Xiu.

The reason why Cao Hong lost the previous time was not because Cao Hong pulled him over. In fact, it was because Cao Hong was not only fighting against Zhang Xiu.

Also, Liu Biao of Jingzhou had people harassing Cao Hong from time to time.

It was so difficult for both sides of Cao Hong to deal with it that they suffered consecutive defeats.

After Cao Cao's army went out for the expedition, he did not rush to send out the army immediately. Cao Cao took action only after he found out the enemy's situation.

At that time, Liu Biao's subordinates gathered Deng Jizheng in the Huyang area, and their defense was weak.

Cao Cao openly intended to attack Zhang Xiu, but secretly he personally led part of the army straight to Huyang.

On that day, the army attacked, and Cao Cao led his army to capture Deng Ji alive.

Without waiting for Liu Biao and others to react, Cao Cao led his army to attack again, taking advantage of the victory and heading straight to Wuyin where Zhang Xiu was.

The army surrounded them, and it was only then that Liu Biao and others learned that Huyang had fallen.

Cao Cao made repeated fierce attacks, and Zhang Xiu and his Jingzhou army were unable to resist.

That day, Cao's army won again, and Zhang Xiu had no choice but to retreat to Rangcheng with his troops.

Cao's army won two battles in a row, and in a short period of time, they had regained the lost territory that had previously fallen into Zhang Xiu's hands.

Then the army began to return to Xuchang.

Since Cao Cao annexed Wan County, he did not immediately attack Zhang Xiu and others.

Xi Yu, who was in Xuchang, had already expected that this battle would be extremely smooth.

While Lao Cao was busy conquering the lost territory, Xi Yu had also begun to make preparations for Xuchang School.

There weren't too many problems with textbooks and the like, because Cai Yan had a collection of books and the paper mill was fully supplying them.

Under the discussion between Xi Yu and Chen Gong, some classics were printed.

Of course, in addition to classics, many books by various schools of thought were also printed.

Xiyu also has some considerations about what the school teaches.

Just like this era, it is not enough for each great Confucian to teach his own knowledge.

Everyone's opinions are different.

Xi Yu also intended to integrate the subjects of later generations into Xuchang School, but only people in this era could understand these.

It seems that he is the only one who wants to completely expand the subject.

I am afraid that he may not have to stay in Xuchang School in the future. This is naturally not what Xi Yu wants to see.

Due to Chen Gong's help, the discipline of Confucian classics was quickly sorted out.

The rest is the new learning that Xiyu wants to learn.

There were actually too many subjects. After a few days of work, Xi Yu compiled a book on mathematics, which contained only elementary to junior high school knowledge.

Just compiling this book took him several days of effort, not to mention physics, chemistry, biology, and other subjects!

If you want to compile them one by one, it will naturally take a lot of effort.

However, there is still a lot of time before school starts in September, so there is no need to be too anxious about this matter.
