Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Man Chong slept all night and woke up slowly the next day. As soon as he opened his eyes and wanted to stretch, he found a handsome young man sitting in front of his bed.

Man Chong was startled and sat up hurriedly. He looked carefully and saw clearly that the person in front of him was none other than Liu Yu, Liu Huangshu.

"My Lord, why are you here?"

"You drank too much yesterday, so I took you back to my room."

Hearing these words, remembering Liu Yu's enthusiasm yesterday, the thought that had disappeared reappeared in his mind.

He subconsciously touched his clothes and found that they were not messy at all.

"I was a bit rude yesterday, and I'm sorry for causing trouble for you, my lord." Man Chong walked towards the bed and continued to say to Liu Yu, "I'll go to Yuan Zhi to get the information about the decree."

Liu Yu grabbed him.

"Bo Ning, this matter is not urgent. There is another matter that is more important than the law."

Man Chong was a little puzzled. He clearly remembered that at the dinner table, both Liu Yu and Xu Shu expressed their anxiety about the decree.

How come just after one night, this matter is no longer important?

Liu Yu pointed to the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that had already been placed on the desk and said, "Bo Ning should write the letter first. I will send someone to deliver it right away."

"Write a letter?" Man Chong looked confused. "My Lord, I don't understand. What do you want to write?"

Looking at this situation, Liu Yu knew that Man Chong had drunk too much yesterday and had forgotten what he had said about Guo Jia.

Liu Yu reminded: "Doesn't Bo Ning have a good friend named Guo Jia or Guo Fengxiao?"

"Yes, how did the lord know? He is now serving under Yuan Benchu."

"The court is in need of talents right now. It would be a loss to the Han Dynasty if a talent like Feng Xiao could not serve the court. Please write a letter and invite him to come to Chang'an from Jizhou."

Man Chong then understood a little. It turned out that he wanted him to write a letter to recruit Feng Xiao.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Man Chong gradually had some impression of what happened to Guo Jia at the banquet yesterday.

Man Chong bowed, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper. After a while, the letter was finished.

Liu Yu glanced at it hastily, without even reading the contents of the letter clearly, and hurriedly sent someone to take the letter to Jizhou.

Obviously, Liu Yu was very attracted by such a talented person as Guo Jia.

However, he was still worried whether Man Chong's letter could convince him.

Man Chong is very confident about this issue.

"My Lord, rest assured. Feng Xiao will definitely come to Chang'an after receiving this letter. As for whether he can stay here?" Man Chong was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "To be honest, I am not sure about this. His ideas are so wild that I can't figure them out."

"As long as he can come to Chang'an, I have the confidence to keep him." Liu Yu was very confident about this.

From the talents he came into contact with during this period, he discovered that the talents of this era had one common characteristic.

On the surface, they all have the aloofness of scholars, but deep down they desperately want to be valued.

Liu Yu did not seem surprised by this, as it was consistent with Maslow's needs that he came into contact with two thousand years later.

Anyone who could read and write in this era was definitely not an ordinary citizen, but at least from a poor family.

The Han clan is also a landlord class and has a lot of land and other means of production.

Their ancestors were once very prosperous, but in this era, their family has fallen into decline.

If we put aside his identity as the emperor's uncle, Liu Yu was a typical poor man. Before he was captured in Luoyang, his family owned hundreds of acres of fertile land and had several servants.

Although this amount of wealth could not compare to the top aristocratic families with tens of thousands of servants, it was enough to provide them with food and clothing. Otherwise, how could he have the leisure to hide in his room and study?

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Man Chong showed a smile on his face. From the Liu Yu he had met in the past two days, he could see that Liu Yu was humble, not fussy about trivial matters, knew how to appoint people to the right positions, was tolerant and generous, and indeed had the potential to be a wise leader.

If Guo Fengxiao came here, he would most likely be impressed by Liu Yu's demeanor.

However, Man Chong still has questions.

"After Yuan Benchu ​​occupied the entire Jizhou, relying on the foundation of the Yuan family's four generations of three officials, he did not stop. In a very short period of time, he pacified Qingzhou and Bingzhou. His strength is strong. If Fengxiao is valued somewhere, it may not be easy to convince Fengxiao. My lord, don't be careless."

"Bo Ning's words make sense." Liu Yu smiled, clearly agreeing with Man Chong's point of view. "Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is a man who is generous at heart but cautious at outside. In addition, the forces in Jizhou are complicated, so Feng Xiao will definitely not be able to achieve anything. Even if you don't write to him, Feng Xiao will leave soon."

After stabilizing Chang'an, Guo Jia was on Liu Yu's recruitment list. He had been paying close attention to Guo Jia's situation. According to the time point, Guo Jia's investigation of Yuan Shao had reached the final stage.

Yuan Shao, who came from a prominent family, employed people in Jizhou from Jizhou's aristocratic families. It was difficult for someone like Guo Jia, who came from a humble family in Yingchuan, to enter Yuan Shao's center of power.

If you cannot enter the center of power, it means that your talents cannot be fully utilized.

The talented Guo Jia would naturally not be willing to remain unknown, and he would leave with a hint of boredom.

There is no way. It is difficult for anyone to break away from this era, and Yuan Shao is no exception.

Yuan Shao did have a good reputation in this era, but at the same time, his fatal character flaws would soon become apparent.

He is generous on the outside but cautious on the inside, good at making plans without any shortcomings, cautious about his body when doing big things, and forgets about righteousness when he sees small profits.

As for being good at making plans without decision, and being cautious about one's own safety when doing great things, Liu Yu could understand these two points. After all, he came from a prominent family and had not suffered many hardships. In his spare time, he liked to talk big and brag. People who really did great things were afraid of getting hurt. These were all understandable.

It can be seen that people forget righteousness for the sake of small profits. Liu Yu really cannot understand this. A child who grows up in such a family has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, so he should not attach so much importance to material things.

After the two finished talking about Guo Jia, Liu Yu brought Man Chong to a hall.

Xu Shu had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the two men coming over, he greeted them with a smile.

Xu Shu had already sorted out the information on the laws and regulations, and was just waiting for Man Chong to arrive to hand over this difficult task.

Man Chong took the information handed over by Xu Shu, opened it casually, and a line of laws came into his eyes.

Man Chong looked at it for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.

He looked at the laws and regulations and did not seem to find them boring. Instead, he found them somewhat familiar.

In this era, some people like poetry and songs, some like exquisite articles, some like military strategies, and some like calligraphy and music.

But Man Chong likes different things from them. He likes laws. In his eyes, every law is like the breeze and the bright moon, like the grass and the flying orioles, real and beautiful.
