The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 172 Maxima is common, but Bole is hard to find

After Liu Bei and Liu Xie talked late at night, basically nothing happened in Xuchang, and it was already Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

It's the fifteenth day of August.

Cao Cao held a grand banquet in the Sikong Mansion, and all the civil and military officials in Xuchang attended, including Cao Ren and others who were far away in Xuzhou.

This time the Mid-Autumn Festival feast was nominally to celebrate Xi Yu's appointment as a Taiwei, and around the time of You, the entire Sikong Mansion was already brightly lit.

After Xi Yu brought Dianwei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others into Sikong Mansion, everyone he saw along the way saluted Xi Yu and congratulated him.

Regarding this situation, Xi Yu remained as usual.

Seeing Xi Yu's arrival, Cao Cao, the master of the banquet, immediately pulled Xi Yu to sit beside him.

At this time, everyone lined up in four directions. Following Cao Cao's nod, groups of attendants began to bring out all the meals and drinks for tonight.

After the banquet started, Cao Cao was quite emotional, and when he toasted, he said a few words casually.

Xi Yu held up the lamp together, with a smile on his face.

After all, the current Xi Yu still recognizes Lao Cao.

From the very beginning when he chose to join Cao Ying, Xi Yu didn't think too much about it.

It is still the case.

He just does what he can do, what he wants to do!

Nothing more, what outsiders think.

It doesn't matter whether it's Taiwei, Da Sinong, or Taicang Ling.

For Xi Yu, it was just a job title.

It represents nothing but fame!

However, promotion to Taiwei is still useful in this era.

It's just that he doesn't value it now!
At this time, the field has already begun to become lively.

Xi Yu chatted with Cao Cao for a few words, then just sat there and ignored anyone.

Dian Wei joined General Cao Ying's camp again.

From a distance, someone could be heard making fun of Dian Wei under the name of Marquis Zhuang.

And Dian Wei's loud retort was also extremely loud.

now.

Liu Bei, who was in the middle of the banquet, just glanced at Xi Yu from a distance.

After talking with Liu Xie in the middle of the night, Liu Bei's idea of ​​leaving Xuchang has become stronger and stronger.

For him, if he continues to stay in Xuchang, sooner or later his mind will be exhausted.

He had to find a way and find all the help to help him get out of trouble in Xuchang.

Liu Bei knew that it was impossible to rely on Xi Yu now.

The other party is still standing with Cao Cao for the time being. Although he will not make things difficult for himself, it will be even more difficult to ask the other party to help him leave Xuchang.

After turning his eyes away from Xi Yu, Liu Bei's eyes began to sweep towards the crowd at the banquet.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the famous and famous civil and military officials in Xuchang were present, and even some people who were not qualified enough in normal times were fortunate enough to participate in this banquet today.

Not only Cao Cao's subordinates, but also Dong Cheng and other veterans of the Han Dynasty are also resolutely on the list.

At this time, Liu Bei's eyes fell on Dong Cheng and the others.

Compared with the camp headed by Cao Cao, Dong Cheng's side of the veterans of the Han Dynasty was much quieter.

Above the whole banquet, the two sides are like the rivers of Wei and Wei, very clear.

"General Dong, look at those people, it's really lively!"

Someone made sarcastic remarks beside Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng didn't speak at this time, he just sat quietly in his seat, pouring wine into the glass by himself.

"That's Duke Yang's son!"

Some people's eyes fell on the direction of Cao Cao and the others. There, Yang Xiu with a faint smile on his face seemed to be enthusiastically greeting a group of people under Cao Cao's command while holding a wine cup.

That look, quite a bit like wanting to blend in.

However, in the eyes of Dong Cheng and others, Yang Xiu at this moment is like a buffoon.

Obviously he has a family background of four generations and three males, if he really becomes a filial and honest official, he will go their way when the time comes, and he will never be thrown away by Cao Cao to do chores like he is now.

It was also because he was the son of Yang Biao that all the people under Cao Cao's command all avoided him a little.

At this time, Liu Bei's eyes followed Dong Cheng's and others' eyes and fell on Yang Xiu.

During the previous review, Yang Xiu's talent and Liu Bei could be seen.

Although this person is a bit arrogant, it is undeniable that a person like the other party is exactly what Liu Bei needs.

Liu Bei's eyes fell on Yang Xiu, quietly looking at Yang Xiu who was surrounded by Cao Cao and others.

At this moment, Yang Xiuxiu was standing in front of Xi Yu holding a wine cup.

"Congratulations, Captain!"

The expression on Yang Xiu's face looked very sincere.

Xi Yu didn't think too much about it.

Judging from the original history, Yang Xiu was integrated into Cao Ying in the end.

If the other party hadn't participated in the battle for the heir apparent, perhaps Cao Cao wouldn't have just found a reason to kill him just like that.

At that time, Lao Cao also valued Yang Xiu's talent very much.

only!

Everything today has already changed.

At present, Cao Ang has never died, and even Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others are not regarded by Cao Cao at all.

After all, in today's era, the eldest son and the first son have already decided everything from the root.

Although Cao Ang is not a direct descendant, the other party is the eldest son, and he grew up with Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's wife, and Cao Ang's status will naturally rise.

And Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others were not born by Mrs. Ding, but by Mrs. Bian.

With Mrs. Ding here, Mrs. Bian can only be a concubine, and these two are naturally not considered as legitimate sons.

In this way, they are all concubines, and the eldest son of Cao Ang has a natural advantage.

What's more, although Cao Cao hasn't raised a few sons in recent years, when Cao Ang was around, Cao Cao would basically bring him by his side to teach him.

This is the orthodox heir to Cao Cao's eyes.

There is Cao Ang.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others, the only sense of existence they have right now is Cao Cao's son!
Without the intention of cultivating other heirs, Cao Cao naturally would not send Yang Xiu to his son on purpose.

And under such circumstances, Yang Xiu's existence was somewhat out of place.

Put beside Cao Cao himself, compared with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others, Yang Xiu is a bit immature after all.

After all, Cao Cao didn't have any opinion on Yang Xiu.

Lao Cao didn't care whether the other party was Yang Biao's son or not. In fact, as long as Yang Xiu was useful to him, Lao Cao didn't mind making good use of Yang Xiu.

Now, sending Yang Xiu out to do some unsalty work may have some considerations in Lao Cao's heart.

It's an exercise!
However, Cao Cao thought so, but the others in Cao Ying only looked at the surface.

Because of the reason Yang Xiu was placed, most people would instinctively feel that Cao Cao disliked the other party's identity.

Therefore, at this banquet, such a situation will become more obvious.

Among the people under Cao Cao's command, almost no one would take the initiative to talk to Yang Xiu.

Even if the other party came over with a hot face, what he faced was from a face full of smiles to coldness in an instant.

Such a difference, I think Yang Xiu himself has experienced it.

At this moment, many things flashed through Xi Yu's mind, and he saw Yang Xiu congratulating him.

He has no scruples.

When it comes to the title of Taiwei, Yang Biao is more or less involved in it.

As for what the other party's purpose is, it doesn't matter.

Xi Yu nodded towards Yang Xiu, but didn't say much.

At this time, after paying respects to Xi Yu, Yang Xiu turned around and walked towards Cao Ren.

However, Yang Xiu just approached Cao Ren, and Cao Ren seemed to have expected it.

He turned around slightly, as if he didn't see Yang Xiu coming, he raised his wine glass by himself, and started pouring it with Yu Jin who was on the side.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but paused.

Some atmosphere is very obvious.

At this time, he has already understood, and if he continues to move towards these people like this, the result obtained will not change much.

Yang Xiu's head drooped slightly, and he couldn't help biting his teeth.

He has been famous since he was a child, these people treated him so contemptuously, after this time Yang Xiu could no longer bear it.

Although he understands that today's Han Dynasty has come to an end.

Cao Cao may have the ability to change the world.

But what does that have to do with him?
He can't even squeeze into this circle!

At this time, Yang Xiu seemed to understand the persistence in his father's heart that day.

Yes!

Their family is four generations and three fathers. For those under Cao Cao's command, there is an invisible gap between them.

This has been there from the beginning.

Even though the Han Dynasty had begun to collapse, his Yang family stood much higher than these people from the very beginning.

Blindly pandering is just looking for humiliation!
The jug in his hand was half full of wine, even if he continued to walk around the entire Sikong mansion, he would not go down too much of the wine.

With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, Yang Xiu turned around and returned to his corner.

At this time, he can only drink by himself.

Yang Xiu's expression changed from being eager at the beginning to darkening in an instant.

The people who were busy at this time were those under Cao Cao's command, and had nothing to do with him.

"Master Yang!"

When Yang Xiu frowned, a greeting suddenly came from the side.

Almost instinctively, Yang Biao's expression brightened. He just raised his head, thinking that the person under Cao Cao's command had come over.

Just as he was about to respond, he never thought that when he raised his head, the face that caught his eyes was not anyone he had hoped for.

Yang Xiu naturally recognized the face in front of him.

This one is the emperor's uncle who is recognized by the emperor himself!

"I have seen the emperor's uncle, but I don't know the emperor's uncle, what is your order!"

Yang Xiu took the initiative to salute, Liu Bei's status was there after all, even though he didn't have much affection for the person in front of him.

However, the etiquette that the aristocratic family had cultivated long ago made him politely salute the other party.

It's just that at this time, Yang Xiu's tone was not salty or bland after all.

Liu Bei didn't care at all.

He knew what kind of person Yang Xiu was, and Liu Bei was somewhat tolerant of talented people.

He sat next to Yang Xiu by himself, with a very sincere tone.

"I have read Yang Zhubo's Fu Lun on Yuedan Review several times, and every time I read it, I feel deeply moved by Zhubo's talent."

As soon as he came up, Liu Bei started to praise Yang Xiu's previous Fu comment on Yuedan.

Hearing this, although Yang Xiu still had a cold face, he still reacted somewhat.

"Uncle Huang has won the award. Now that I think about it, that Fu Lun is a bit exaggerated!"

For his own talent, Yang Xiu is extremely confident.

However, sometimes, there are very few people who can see his talent.

Just like in this world, there are always thousands of horses, but Bole is hard to find.

At this time, Liu Bei began to discuss the content of Yang Xiu's Fu theory.

Yang Xiu could tell that the other party had indeed read his essays, and some of the views in them even made him feel somewhat.

However, Yang Xiu is not optimistic about Liu Bei.

On the one hand, although the other party is now the emperor's uncle of the big man.

However, the background of Liu Bei and their aristocratic families is too far apart, and the difference has been too great since their birth.

The other party is nothing more than good luck!

Yang Xiu looked down on him in his heart, the person in front of him had better luck!
If Liu Xie hadn't personally admitted it, the other party would be nothing more than a commoner, so what if he made a name for himself.

To be honest, Yang Xiu just looked down on Liu Bei.

In layman's terms, it is Liu Bei's previous identity, which Yang Xiu doesn't like.

On the other hand.

Now that Liu Bei has neither power nor background, he just hangs up the title of emperor uncle in vain. How can such a person achieve anything.

But today's Liu Bei really has nothing to stand out about.

It is better to have a better reputation. Before that, he helped Kong Rong not far away, was passed on by the other party, and helped Tao Qian in Xuzhou. There are no outstanding deeds.

As for the crusade against Dong Zhuo by the princes of the Eighteenth Route, if Liu Bei hadn't relied on Gongsun Zan, he wouldn't even be able to enter the camp of the princes.

Indeed.

Along the way, Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu at Hulao Pass in addition to playing the Yellow Turban a few times.

After entering Xuzhou, there was no chance of winning against Cao Cao.

Because of Lu Bu's attack, he turned his head and chose to ally with Cao Cao, and even Xuzhou, who had taken over, followed him.

This uncle of the emperor, General Jiazuo, Tinghou of Yicheng, is like Cao Cao reciprocating because of Xuzhou's affairs.

What else is there to care about.

Yang Xiu didn't want to talk to Liu Bei who was next to him, but at this time the latter was eagerly discussing the other party's Fu Lun next to Yang Xiu.

The other party was so eager, Yang Xiu couldn't ignore it.

He could only deal with it casually, but Liu Bei could feel the cold expression to some extent.

Unknowingly, the full moon above the sky hung above the treetops.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xi Yu called out to Cao Cao, and took Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others out of the Sikong Mansion by himself.

As Xi Yu left the table, all the officials began to get up.

Yang Xiu seemed a little impatient, he bowed to Liu Bei, and then got up and chose to leave the table.

Liu Bei smiled, followed Yang Xiu, like the master here, after sending him out of the Sikong mansion, he turned around and walked slowly towards his own courtyard.

……

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon illuminates the sky brightly.

When Yang Xiu returned to the Yang Mansion, he barely walked into the courtyard, and saw a figure standing in the courtyard.

Yang Biao was wearing a coat and a large cloak, and he was standing under the moon. He heard Yang Xiu's footsteps, and turned his eyes.

"My son is back!"

Yang Biao had already heard of Yang Xiu's current situation under Cao Cao's command, and now seeing that the other party smelled of alcohol, he couldn't help asking.

Hearing Yang Biao's question, Yang Xiu smiled wryly.

"My son only found out today that what my father said that day was an old saying!"

The identities of the four generations and the three princes, from the very beginning, were destined to stand by the side of the Han royal family.

The identity of the four generations and the three princes is an honor, but also a kind of bondage.

In the view of Yang Xiu today, whether it is Cao Cao or other princes, when they look at him, they will never ignore the identity of the four generations and three princes.

This identity cannot be left behind, cannot be thrown away.

It's like branding.

"My son understands now!"

Yang Biao was also a little helpless, and he didn't understand what the status of the Han Dynasty was like now.

It's just that he can't help it.

Different from the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, their Yang family's path has been in the field of literature and politics from beginning to end.

While the Yuan family can stand on their own, their Yang family cannot.

Because of their status, it is difficult for them to join one of the princes.

Only standing on the side of the emperor is the most beneficial choice for them.

However, today's Son of Heaven is fledgling, and his strength is too weak after all.

"My son's choice is actually not wrong!"

Under the current world situation, it is too difficult, too difficult for the Han Dynasty to rely on Liu Xie alone to restore it to its prosperity!

Under such circumstances, the Yang family had no choice but to find their own way out.

Yang Xiu's refuge with Cao Cao is a way out, but it's not easy.

What's more, it needs Yang Xiu to bear the humiliation. Perhaps in a few years, the identities of the four generations and three princes can be thrown away.

But, not now.

The two father and son stood under the moon, but they didn't say much after all.

Yang Xiu had a difficult choice in his heart, whether to continue to act like today and play a transparent role in Cao Ying's crowd.

Wait, wait until the status of the Yang family is completely wiped out.

Still, give up the current choice, like your own father, try to continue to make this big man's world continue.

Yang Xiu was in a daze for a moment.

Until Yang Biao patted him on the shoulder and went back to the house alone, Yang Xiu didn't make a choice.

……

"Liu Bei is here!"

The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Yang Xiu did not work today.

It's about the same time.

There was a breeze in the courtyard of the Yang family, and outside the Yang residence, Liu Bei came quietly.

In the courtyard at this moment, Yang Xiuxiu quietly looked at the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the courtyard.

When Liu Bei came to visit suddenly, he didn't care at all.

He thought that the other party came here after his father, but at this time, he suddenly heard a servant of the Yang family come to deliver a message.

It is said that the person Liu Bei came to visit this time was not Yang Biao, but Yang Xiu.

Hearing this, Yang Xiu was a little puzzled.

The scene of yesterday is still vivid.

He treated Liu Bei so slowly, it would be anyone else.

It's good not to have any grudges, why would you come to visit on the second day.
