I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 592
Soon, four figures appeared outside the hall.

Liu Jian perked up and looked expectantly outside the hall.

I saw two people following Liu Bei and Wang Lang.

The four people took off their shoes before entering the hall, and then carefully arranged their appearance outside the hall before walking in.

Liu Jian had met Lu Su before, but this was the first time he met Zhang Zhao.

Compared to the rugged-looking Lu Su, Zhang Zhao is obviously more of a scholar, and judging from his lowered eyebrows, he seems to be quite honest.

But Liu Jian knew that many things were only superficial.

The four people greeted Liu Jian respectively.

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have heard about Zibu and Zijing for a long time, but when I see them today, they are indeed outstanding figures!"

Zhang Zhao looked up at Liu Jian and was very satisfied. His first impression of Liu Jian was that he was very good.

Not to mention anything else, just the way he was dressed today made him appear energetic and high-spirited, making him look like a master, which was very appealing to Zhang Zhao.

And this is enough to show Liu Jian's respect for them.

Liu Jian then asked everyone to take their seats.

The four people respectfully accepted the order and sat down on both sides of the hall.

There are drinks and food on the food tables on both sides of the hall. No matter where you sit, you can talk to Liu Jian while eating.

After Zhang Zhao sat down, he looked back and forth and suddenly asked: "General, Zhang Zhao, the white-bodied man, has a favor to ask me. I wonder if the general will allow it?"

Wang Lang couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing Zhang Zhao's words.

What is this piece of cloth for?
Liu Jian smiled and said, "What do you have to say, Zibu? Please speak frankly."

Zhang Zhaoyan said: "This hall is quite large. Zhao is at the bottom. He cannot listen to the general's teachings and pray for him to come closer."

Wang Lang gritted his teeth angrily.

He is a general and has a respected position. It is already a great honor to have dinner with you, so what does it matter if he is far away from you?Could it be that the general can still argue with you? !
Liu Jian looked around, thought seriously for a moment, and then said:
"But it is like this. Come here, please move your table and mine to the center of the hall, and I will eat together with you!"

Wang Lang was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Zhao and Lu Su were also quite surprised.

Only Liu Bei stood up naturally and waited for the attendant to move the case over. He didn't think it was a big deal.

Liu Jian's guards immediately took action upon hearing this.

Liu Jian's behavior surprised the three people. He was the overlord of Hebei, and it was a rare favor for him to be willing to drink with white-bodied people like Lu Su and Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhaoshi just wanted to test Liu Jian's reaction when the opportunity arises, and at the same time he also wanted to see Liu Jian's attitude towards talents.

Liu Jian's performance far exceeded Zhang Zhao's expectations.

Sure enough, he looks like a master!
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Moreover, Liu Jian's move further revealed Liu Jian's trust in them, because joining the case meant that they were close to Liu Jian.

Lu Su was even more moved.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Liu Jian went south to welcome him and Lu Su to the north was already a great favor.

Perhaps Liu Jian's move was intended to be kind to them, but Lu Su would not be less moved by this.

Because this shows that the other party values ​​you.

There is no master who does not know that trusting and honoring his subordinates is conducive to winning their hearts.

But how many can actually do it?

Being the master of a person does not depend on what he thinks in his heart, but mainly on what he can do.

Lu Su and Zhang Zhao stood up at the same time: "Thank you General for your favor!"

Liu Jian smiled lightly and said nothing.

After a while, several table cases had been combined into one, and he immediately motioned for everyone to sit around the table.

Liu Jian ordered the waiter to pour wine for everyone.

After everyone had a drink, Liu Jian took the initiative and asked: "The Han Dynasty is in danger today, and there are clouds in all directions. As a clan member, although I have made great contributions to my body, I have never shared the emperor's worries. Since I have taken care of the late emperor, Your ministers should be diligent and courageous. Since you are patronizing them, why should you support them?" Lu Su knew that this was Liu Jian's test question for him and Zhang Zhao today.

He did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhang Zhao and said humbly: "Zibu Jun is a great sage, please speak first."

Zhang Zhao nodded to Lu Su and then got straight to the point.

He raised his hands and asked Liu Jian, "May I ask the general, do you want to become a great ancestor? Do you want to become a scholar and a scholar? Or do you want to be a filial piety and military? Guangwu? Or be an overlord?"

These words made Liu Bei's face turn pale.

Wang Lang next to him was so frightened that he could hardly hold the chopsticks in his hands.

Zhang Zibu, Zhang Zibu!

You really dare to say that!

I just told you to come! ?
Liu Jian also looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise and thought: Is this guy so tough?
Liu Jian looked at Zhang Zhao carefully, but soon understood what he meant.

It’s still a trial after all.

Zhang Zhao is not here to recognize his master, he is clearly here for a blind date.

Explore left and right, I have to get to the bottom of your home.

However, in history, Zhang Zhao was a famous scholar in the state. He did not vote for Tao Qian, a nobleman with the same status as him, nor did he vote for Yuan Shu, but he fell in love with Sun Ce.

Come to think of it, Sun Ce's Zihu energy seems to be quite consistent with him.

So, I heard Liu Jian reply slowly:
"Zibu's words make Mr. Liu feel ashamed,"

"Today, in front of all the gentlemen, I would like to say that Liu's ambition is not that of my ancestors of the Han Dynasty, nor is it that of Zhou Wu Huanwen."

Liu Jian's answer made Zhang Zhao's expression suffocate.

The overlord of a country, the founder of an empire, the king of the ZTE Dynasty—these are not Liu Jian’s aspirations, so what are his aspirations?
When I was young, I heard Liu Jian say calmly: "I just want to do it - unprecedented!"

For a moment, everyone in the hall held their breath.

Zhang Zhao's face showed surprise, and his hands even trembled slightly.

What kind of ambition is this? Unheard of?

Only Liu Bei smiled and said: "You guys don't believe it? You guys can see that General Fuyuan has done so many things in recent years. Can't he be worthy of the words "unprecedented"?

Lu Su looked at Zhang Zhao, only to see Zhang Zhao smile bitterly and say: "The ambition of the general is far beyond Zhao's ability to predict. All the previous preparations are useless. I am ashamed, I am ashamed. This is unprecedented. Zhao really has no auxiliary methods... Just a few words of warning.”

Liu Jian said: "I would like to listen to Zibu's teachings."

"Although Zhao doesn't know what the general's ambition is, he knows that as a king, he is said to be able to control heroes and drive heroes. How can it be said that he is galloping on the battlefield and has the courage to stand in front of the three armies? If there is any danger, the world will be affected. Why are you laughing?"

When Liu Jian heard this, he said seriously: "What Zi Bu said is true, and I am willing to follow it."

Zhang Zhao was very satisfied to see Liu Jian accepting loyal advice so well.

He immediately looked at Lu Su.

"Zijing, I only have these brief words, you can tell the rest."

Lu Su bowed his hand to Zhang Zhao, and then said: "Su is a great general in his ambition! Although Su doesn't know how far this unprecedented person will go, I still want to give advice to the general."

"Oh?" Liu Jian exclaimed, "Please tell me."

Lu Suji said, "Since ancient times, all those who have become great must first think about the foundation and then determine the future."

"In the past, when Emperor Gao killed Xiang, he could achieve great success by holding on to Guanzhong. He could revive Zhongwu by taking control of Hebei, and he could sweep the world. Although the second ancestor of the Han Dynasty suffered from difficulties and defeats, he finally achieved great success. The reason is that both ancestors knew how to consolidate the foundation and control the country. The principles of the world.”

"Don't forget the past. If today's teachers and generals want to achieve great achievements, they should follow the second ancestor and learn from the past lives to find the foundation of great achievements!"

Liu Bei said: "The general is now rich in the four states of Hebei, and he also controls Xuzhou. Isn't this his foundation?"

Lu Su said: "If the general's ambition is to be an overlord, then Hebei will be the foundation. However, if the general wants to do something unprecedented, then Hebei will be only the superficial foundation and not the foundation!"

"The foundation of Emperor Gaozu's empire lies in Guanzhong, and the foundation of Emperor Shizu's empire lies in Hebei. Times have changed, and when it comes to today, in order to achieve the ambition of a great general, the foundation of a great general should be in the imperial court!"

"Why?"

Lu Su said righteously: "Serve the Lord to obey the people, uphold justice to obey heroes, support righteousness to become handsome! If the general wants to achieve great achievements, he should not focus on Huaisi, Jingzhou or Jiangdong, but on the land of Huaisi, Jingzhou or Jiangdong. You should look westward! Enter the government and take charge of the government. In this way, the world can be settled and the ambition of the general can be achieved."
