Yuan Shao did not indicate who he was asking, but the atmosphere was heightened to this point. Could Liu Bei still keep silent?
Seeing that it was indeed time for him to speak, Liu Bei didn't want to show off what it means to have zero emotional intelligence, so he laughed.
"What Yuan Gong is worried about is the eunuchs. The disaster of eunuchs has already appeared twenty years ago. If people with lofty ideals have not been able to solve the problem in the past twenty years, how can Bei solve it? Besides, if Bei says he can Wouldn't it be ridiculous to solve it?"
Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this.
"Having said that, we are currently unable to fight against the eunuchs, but it is too much for the eunuchs to bring trouble to the world. This is definitely not acceptable to me. In any case, I will find ways to fight against the eunuchs. This is not only for me, but also For the Yuan family, for the people of the world."
What Yuan Shao said was beautiful, the movements of his hands were not small, and the things he did were also very beautiful.
Under the great environment of the Party's imprisonment, Yuan Shao lived in seclusion in Luoyang, using the resources given to him by his family to make friends with Party members, help Party members escape the threat of eunuchs, help Party members avoid the vicious hands of eunuchs, and save many people who were chased by eunuchs. partisan.
There are still certain risks in this matter. As legitimate sons, Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu did not participate, and only Yuan Shao initiated the action.
As time went by, Yuan Shao's reputation grew. It was widely circulated in the scholar circles that Yuan Benchu was willing to help and rescue the party members. He was a very courageous person. It was lamented that the Yuan family did not completely degenerate into eunuch lackeys after all, and there were still some hopefully.
As a result, Yuan Shao's own power initially gained scale.
Yuan Shao felt that it was meaningful to do this, so he decided to continue this behavior, taking certain risks, poaching the corners of the family and the eunuchs, and harvesting the wool of the family and the eunuchs.
It has to be said that Yuan Shao is capable of achieving his future foundation and becoming the most powerful prince in the world for a period of time.
Liu Bei understood Yuan Shao's intention.
He needs a clear statement of his own.
He needed his own explicit inclusion as part of their gang.
Why not?
So Liu Bei walked out of his seat, stood in the hall, and bowed to Yuan Shao.
"Mr. Yuan was heroic and courageous, and helped countless scholars who were persecuted by the eunuchs to escape from the clutches of the eunuchs. Even though he was still young, many people had heard of these deeds, and he was deeply admired for them. Mr. Yuan was a person that I deeply admired, even though he was helpless. With the power of tying a chicken, if there is such injustice in the future, I am willing to serve Mr. Yuan for his great cause."
Liu Bei can be regarded as worshiping the dock!
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and immediately stood up and went to the hall to hold Liu Bei's hands and help him up.
"With Xuande helping me, I am as powerful as a tiger! How can I be afraid of eunuchs and not dare to do anything?"
Cao Cao laughed even more.
"Xuande is too modest to say that he has no power to restrain a chicken. Was it a lie that Xuande rode his horse to rescue Duke Lu among thousands of troops?"
Zhang Miao asked Cao Cao curiously.
"Is there such a thing?"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Of course, when Xuande was only sixteen years old, when he followed Lu Gong to Jiujiang County to suppress the rebellion, he once rode his horse into the rebel army to protect Lu Gong who was trapped in the siege and fought all the way. He was hit by three arrows and fought to the death. He is actually a young hero, but how can he be so helpless?"
Zhang Miao's eyes shone, He Yong's face showed a strange expression, and Xu You sighed repeatedly.
Liu Bei didn't know what they were thinking, but he knew very well that he had entered Yuan Shao's circle of friends since then, and he was still in a very core position.
Currently, Yuan Shao does not have any official position. Zhang Miao, who has the highest official position in his circle of friends, is not allowed to appear publicly in Luoyang. Therefore, the highest official position in the official circle is actually Cao Cao's Yilang, and Liu Bei, the official of the Secretariat, can also be ranked. Number.
However, everyone knows that the level of official position and the energy on the political stage are not exactly the same. Even if Yuan Shao does not have an official position, his political energy far exceeds that of ordinary county guards and governors.
Therefore, although Yuan Shao repeatedly opposed the eunuchs and helped the party members escape, the eunuchs did not detect him at all, but the eunuchs never really took action against Yuan Shao.
After all, the power of the Yuan family is still huge.
After Liu Bei was able to enter Yuan Shao's circle of friends, he also used the platform owned by Yuan Shao to get to know more people.
Not to mention Cao Cao, Xu You, Zhang Miao and He Yong, there are also some local heroes from Luoyang and the heroes from the Sanhe area. These people are completely different from the street gangsters on the streets of Zhuojun. They all have family backgrounds. Only by doing the basics can you become a hero.
And there are more scholars who have a close relationship with the Yuan family. Most of them have party backgrounds. Because Yuan Shao is willing to help them, they have close contacts with Yuan Shao, and they also get to know Liu Bei by the way.
As a result, Liu Bei's reputation gradually spread not only in Luoyang, but also in the Sanhe area.
Yuan Shao seemed to deliberately help Liu Bei become famous. He held several literary gatherings at his home and invited scholars from the modern literature school to participate. Then he asked Liu Bei to invite some scholars from the ancient literature school to participate, turning his residence into a A place where both sides debate scriptures.
When the two sides entered Yuan Shao's mansion, they started a fierce debate. Liu Bei took the lead, killing all parties on behalf of the ancient literature school, and frequently made famous sentences.
In the most intense debate competition, when his own players were defeated one after another, Liu Bei stepped forward and single-handedly defeated twelve other players. He received applause from the audience and earned the reputation of "Talking with Confucian Confucians". .
While Liu Bei's reputation was rising, Yuan Shao's mansion gradually became a famous gathering place for scholars in Luoyang, and Yuan Shao's reputation was also rising.
That's wonderful.
Because this was Liu Bei's plan to boost Yuan Shao's reputation.
Yuan Shao accepted Liu Bei into his circle of friends, gave Liu Bei a platform and an opportunity to show his talent, and gave Liu Bei the possibility of reaching a higher level. Then Liu Bei naturally needed to reciprocate.
Liu Bei knew Yuan Shao's needs.
The reason why Yuan Shao attracted Liu Bei was simply because he took a fancy to Liu Bei's reputation among the scholars of the ancient literature school.
Therefore, after Liu Bei got the benefits, he began to use his own strengths and suggested that Yuan Shao invite the scholars of the Modern Literature School to attend the banquet in his mansion, and he himself mobilized his circle of friends to also come to Yuan Shao's mansion for a party.
When both sides come together, academic debates will naturally begin.
"When scholars who study the ancient classics and scholars who study the modern classics attend a banquet together, there will inevitably be some arguments. Mr. Yuan is in the first place. It is ridiculous to see the scholars arguing. They judge the superiority based on the reputation of the descendants of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. , and then spread the word widely, then the winner’s worth will be doubled and he will become famous in Luoyang, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”
Yuan Shao understood what Liu Bei meant immediately.
Cao Cao and Xu You, who were listening on the sidelines, also understood.
Liu Bei wanted Yuan Shao to use his reputation as a descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince to create a low-end version of Yuedan Ping in his own palace.
