Three Kingdoms: I switched to Liu Bei, why are you crying, Cao Cao?

Chapter 19 Translation Translation, what is a surprise!

The person singing was Xu Shu.

However, after Qin Zhen and Xu Shu took their families north, they passed through the State of Chen and arrived in the territory of the State of Pei.

Xu Shu originally wanted to take Qin Zhen with him to join Liu Bei.

But Qin Zhen refused at all. He just bought two villas for the two families to live in on the pretext of inspection. He stayed at home all day, never going out of the main door or the secondary door, and spent the whole day accompanying his wife and playing with the children.

Seeing this, Xu Shu thought to himself that you don't look like you are preparing for an inspection at all, you are clearly just letting yourself go.

But he also knew that Qin Zhen was actually quite lazy.

When he was under Cao Cao's command, he held a high position of power and had a lot of affairs to deal with, so he rarely had time to rest.

Now that I have finally resigned, I am ready to take a break for some time.

But the problem is that he is different from Qin Zhen. He has a very good impression of Liu Bei. After arriving in Pei County, he inquired about things carefully and felt that Liu Bei was a wise leader.

He defended against foreign enemies and maintained peace with the people at home, allowing the people of Pei County to live and work in peace.

In this era when the princes of the world are plundering everywhere and not treating people as human beings, it is really hard to find a wise ruler with such benevolent policies even with a lantern.

So after observing for several days, he wandered around the city in the hope of attracting Liu Bei's attention.

However, after a few days, Liu Bei stayed in the county government all day, which resulted in his failure to enter officialdom.

Qin Zhen was not only unwilling to comfort him about his situation, he also mocked him for not knowing how to market himself.

Since you want to join Liu Bei, you might as well go directly to the county government to meet him.

Even if you don't take the initiative, you have to dress differently to at least attract attention.

Therefore, Xu Shu thought about it and decided to do so.

However, after swimming for a whole morning, Xu Shu still hadn't seen Liu Bei, and he felt a little depressed.

Just as he was about to go home and discuss with Qin Zhen how to serve Liu Bei, he heard a voice behind him:

"Sir, please stay!"

Xu Shu turned around and saw a very elegant man. He couldn't help but wonder:

"What can I do for you, sir?"

As the conversation progressed, the man bowed and said:
"My name is Liu Bei, my courtesy name is Xuande. I just heard your singing and came to see you!"

"May I ask your name, sir? Would you be willing to follow me into the mansion and have a chat?"

Hearing that it was Liu Bei himself, Xu Shu was delighted and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that it was Envoy Liu who was here!"

"I am from Yingchuan, my surname is Xu, my name is Shu, and my courtesy name is Yuanzhi."

"Even if the envoy invites you, how dare I not obey?"

Seeing that Xu Shu did not refuse, Liu Bei was overjoyed and made a gesture of invitation:

"In that case, sir, please follow me!"

The two turned around and saw Jian Yong catching up. Liu Bei saw this and hurriedly introduced him:
"This is a member of my staff, Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe!"

Xu Shu hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing this, Jian Yong not only looked at Xu Shu, but also smiled at Liu Bei and said:

"When the time is too late, the bad will eventually turn into good!"

"My lord is looking for talent, so why are you here, sir?"

Liu Bei was naturally smiling, and took Xu Shu with him towards the county government.

The three of them walked all the way to the county government, and Liu Bei pointed to the main seat and said to Xu Shu:

"Sir, please take a seat!"

When Xu Shu saw this, he hurriedly shook his head and said:

"How dare I take the seat in front of you, my Lord?"

But Liu Bei was unwilling to do so and asked Xu Shu to sit in the main seat.

Seeing the two people decline, Jian Yong smiled and said:
"Sir, please don't be polite. My Lord has always been like this!"

Faced with their enthusiasm, Xu Shu couldn't refuse and sat down in the main seat nervously.

After arranging Xu Shu, Liu Bei and Jian Yong sat down on the left and right.

Without waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Jian Yong said:
"I just heard you composing a song in the market, and I knew you must be a talented person!"

"Then why do you say, 'A wise ruler seeks talents, but does not know me'?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled awkwardly and said:

"I am sorry to have been laughed at by the envoy. I heard that you were recruiting talented people, so I wanted to come and seek your help, but I did not dare to go to you. So I sang in the market to impress you."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yong stroked his beard and smiled.

Liu Bei was very happy and said:

"Thank goodness you are singing in the market, otherwise we would have lost a great talent today!"

He immediately started talking to Xu Shu.

One is to get acquainted with Xu Shu, and the other is to test Xu Shu's ability.

When it comes to the art of judging people, Liu Bei is the best in the late Han Dynasty. He has a very good eye. He can basically tell whether someone is talented or not just by talking to him.

Moreover, Liu Bei has another ability, which is that even though he is in an interview, he can remain calm and make people feel as if they are in the spring breeze.

After this conversation, Liu Bei initially confirmed that Xu Shu was indeed a talent, and a great one at that!
Especially in the military field, whether it is training troops or deploying troops, he has a unique set of insights.

After learning this, he became happier and happier the more he talked.

Now he has no shortage of military generals under his command.

There is no shortage of civil officials who can govern the country, but what is lacking is a talent like Xu Shu who is good at military battles!

Therefore, Liu Bei became closer and closer as they talked, and soon he began to address her by her courtesy name.

Seeing this on the other side, Jian Yong also nodded secretly.

I thought Xu Shu was very talented and today's trip was not in vain.

Seeing the two of them talking about the general situation in the world, he took the opportunity to ask:

"I wonder what Yuanzhi thinks of the current situation in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shu frowned and said:
"If we talk about the current situation in the world, we must talk about Emperors Huan and Ling."

"Since the Second Emperor, the world has been falling apart, and the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty have almost been destroyed in an instant."

"Although Cao Cao welcomed the emperor back to the east, the princes are now rising up and Yuan Shu is usurping the throne. It is clear that only when someone can wipe out the princes of the world can he achieve hegemony and return to the Han Dynasty!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was also very sad and said:

"It's a pity that although I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, I have few soldiers and generals. I knew that Yuan Shu was usurping the throne, but I was powerless to stop him. I am really ashamed of my ancestors!"

Seeing Liu Bei like this, Xu Shu hurriedly comforted him:
"Don't worry, sir. Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and generals and is powerful, he will be punished by all the heroes of the world if he is such a usurper!"

"You can use this power to defeat Yuan Shu!"

"As for the battle between two armies, who wins and who loses, although there is a difference in strength, there is also a difference in strategy!"

"As long as we plan properly, Yuan Shu may be defeated!"

Seeing this, Jian Yong stroked his beard and nodded:
"Yuanzhi's words are very good!"

Liu Bei bowed directly and said:
"Although I am not talented, I am willing to serve my country. I am very relieved to hear Yuanzhi's advice!"

"I dare to appoint Yuan Zhi as my military advisor. I wonder if Yuan Zhi is willing to assist me in achieving great things?"

His words were so sincere that it was hard to refuse.

But Xu Shu smiled slightly when he saw this, and quickly helped Liu Bei up and said:
"My lord, there is no need to do this. I came here to surrender. Your willingness to accept me is a great favor. How could I refuse?"

"But the responsibility of military advisor is too great, there are wise men to take it, please forgive me for not being able to accept it!"

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Liu Bei raised his head and asked doubtfully:

"Sir, you have great talent, so you should be the military advisor. If not you, who else can be the military advisor?"

Jian Yong also looked at Xu Shu with a confused expression.

Under the gazes of the two, Xu Shu smiled slightly and said:

"In fact, the reason I came here today, besides to serve you, is to recommend you a talent!"

"This man's talent is unrivaled in the world!"

"If the lord wants to accomplish great things, he must have this man to serve him!"

"As for the role of military advisor, only this person is worthy of it!"

After hearing what Xu Shu said, Liu Bei and Jian Yong looked at each other in surprise.

Xu Shu is already a rare talent.

I didn’t expect that there was an expert behind Xu Shu?
What level of existence must one have to be able to receive such high praise from Xu Shu?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei hurriedly asked:

"I wonder where the talent Yuanzhi recommended is now? What's his name?"

Xu Shu smiled mysteriously and said:

"This person is in Xiaopei City. If you tell me his name, I'm sure you've heard of him."

"I wonder if you two can recognize the talent of Qilin?"

When Liu Bei heard the words "unicorn talent", he was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Shu in disbelief and said:
"The person Yuanzhi is talking about, could it be that his surname is Qin, his given name is Zhen, and his courtesy name is Zixuan?"

Jian Yong was also confused for a moment.

No, no?
He was just saying it just now, could it be that Qin Zhen really came?
Amid the two's reactions, Xu Shu smiled with satisfaction and said:

"It is this man, Zixuan, who is my friend. He came all the way here because he knew that I wanted to serve you, the envoy. He is now staying in the city!"

"If the lord requires a military advisor, you can go and see him. If you can persuade him to serve, then the lord's hegemony can be achieved and great things can be expected!"

When Liu Bei saw Xu Shu's confirmation, his expression became excited and he looked at Jian Yong with shining eyes.

Translation, translation, what is a surprise?

This is called a surprise!
A top talent like Qin Zhen actually came to Xiaopei!
