"presumptuous!"
Liu Yan slammed the table and became furious. He walked up to Liu Zhang and pointed at him with trembling hands.
"you you you!"
Liu Zhang looked at Liu Yan in disbelief, and the doubts in his heart deepened.
What's going on here?
He just refused to marry Princess Wannian. Before His Majesty could get angry, his father exploded first?
"Father, as a man, I, Liu Zhang, will definitely rely on my own abilities to serve the country. How can I rely on women?"
Liu Yan's expression twisted together, and he sighed for a long time.
"Why!"
"Zhang'er, I am a father for your own good. Why don't you understand?"
"Father, I know all this, but my relationship with Yan'er is deep and unshakable!"
Liu Yan felt cold in his heart, it's over, this guy is too stubborn!
"Let's discuss this later!"
"By the way, you are in a high position now, but you have not reached the crown. It is inevitably disrespectful."
"A man should reach his age at twenty, but you have a special status. When I find a day, I will help you achieve your age as soon as possible!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Liu Zhang did not dare to bring up the old matters again and quickly bowed to Liu Yan.
"Excuse me, father."
Liu Yan nodded and suppressed the annoyance in his heart.
"When you reach the crown, you can move to the General's Mansion!"
"No, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
Liu Zhang didn't want to stay here any longer and resigned.
"Go ahead."
Just as Liu Zhang walked to the door, Liu Yan's voice came.
"By the way, Cai Yan was picked up by his father."
"Picked it up? When did it happen?"
Liu Zhang stopped and looked at Liu Yan with a puzzled expression.
"A month ago, they went back to Chen Liu's hometown."
"knew."
Liu Zhang's voice was calm, his heart was empty, and he always felt like he had lost something.
I thought I would see the beauty in my heart soon, but I didn't expect that she was not in the house.
"I should have known that I would have delayed going in when I passed Chen Liu!"
"It doesn't matter, I have to come back sooner or later anyway!"
Liu Zhang cheered up. It would be a matter of time before he saw Cai Yan again. He had waited for it.
Three days later, Liu Hong finally issued an order to transfer Huangmen Shilang Xun You to serve in the Hou General's Mansion.
When Xun You received the transfer order, He Jin pretended to be reluctant to leave.
Xun You, who had been longing for him for a long time, finally came to the door, and Liu Zhang personally greeted him at the door.
When Xun You saw Liu Zhang coming to greet him in person, he quickly walked forward and bowed.
"You pay your respects to the general!"
"Brother, it's too late!"
Liu Zhang pretended to be angry and complained that Xun You came too late.
"After receiving the order, I rushed here non-stop and didn't dare to delay even a minute!"
Xun You also pretended to be scared, the two of them were really drama lovers!
"Hahahahahaha!"
Liu Zhang stepped forward and took Xun You's hand, which kept shaking.
"A foolish brother has been looking forward to his brother for a long time! Just like a baby looks for rain and dew during a severe drought, a baby looks for its parents!"
Liu Zhang's metaphor was too complimentary, which made Xun You very frightened.
"Thank you, General, for your love!"
"Hey, brother, why are you so polite? Although you and I are not brothers, we still have brotherhood!"
Xun You kept nodding, his eyes full of joy.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished, you know it in your heart!"
"Brother Xun, please come inside."
Liu Zhang took Xun You and walked inside, holding Xun You's hand tightly and smiling at Xun You from time to time.
Xun You didn't struggle and just entered the house with Liu Zhang. In his opinion, this is a sign of a good relationship.
Jia Xu has been staying in Liu Mansion for three days. Liu Zhang visited him many times during these three days. Each time, he was concerned about whether he was used to living there and whether he had any needs. Nothing else was mentioned at all.
Even a man as smart as Jia Xu has his head full of questions. Did Liu Zhang come all the way to find him just to entertain him with delicious food and drinks?
"I really don't know what the general's purpose is after this."
Jia Xu couldn't help but talk to himself, now he could only wait and see what happened.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Jia, is it convenient for you?"
Liu Zhang is here.
Jia Xu knew it was Liu Zhang's voice as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly got up and opened the door.
"Mr. Jia, can you talk to me in the study?"
Jia Xu nodded in agreement and finally opened the skylight!
After arriving at the study, Xun You was already waiting for the two of them.
Xun You quickly stood up to greet the two of them, and bowed his hands to Jia Xu.
When Liu Zhang saw the two of them greeting each other, he began to introduce them.
"Brother Xun, this is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe."
Liu Zhang first introduced Jia Xu to Xun You.
"Wuwei Guzang Renshi is a rare talent in the world!"
"I killed Zhang Jue earlier and shared the credit with Dong Zhuo. Only then did Li Ru agree to introduce me to my husband."
Jia Xu kept waving his hands, rejecting Liu Zhang's praise.
"Jia Xu is not as talented as the general said. I am just a mediocre person."
Jia Xu had no expression on his face, but he was very shocked in his heart.
Liu Zhang actually exchanged such a huge favor for himself to come!
No wonder Li Ru mentioned it many times in his letter!
"Mr. Jia, this is Xun You Xun Gongda, a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan. He was formerly the Minister of Huangmen. I forced Your Majesty to come here!"
Liu Zhang reached out to Xun You. He knew Xun You better than Jia Xu.
"Brother Gongda's talent and learning are also incomparable! Although our relationship with Brother Gongda was short, we are each other's best friends!"
"The general is so complimentary. You are not as powerful as the general said!"
Xun You, like Jia Xu, modestly denied his talents.
In fact, Jia Xu and Xun You are the same type of people. Jia Xu is good at keeping a low profile and biding his time, while Xun You is a fool on the outside and wise on the inside.
Both of them were secretive. If Liu Zhang hadn't been familiar with history, he would never have seen the talent of these two people!
"Gentlemen, please take a seat!"
The three of them sat down separately, and Liu Zhang poured three cups of tea himself.
"Liu Zhang is honored to be able to meet these two gentlemen, and he is deeply honored! Today, I will give you a cup of tea instead of wine. Please!"
Jia Xu and Xun You picked up their teacups and paid homage to Liu Zhang.
"Thank you General! Please!"
The three drank it all in one gulp, and Liu Zhang filled up the tea again.
"Both gentlemen are men of great wisdom. Liu Zhang won't show off here. I will tell you what I have to say!"
Jia Xu and Xunyou quickly cheered up and listened carefully to Liu Zhang's intentions.
Liu Zhang put away the smile on his face and put on a serious expression.
"Now that the world is in chaos, it took me a year to kill the three yellow turban thief Zhang Jiao brothers! Because of this great achievement, I was named the Queen General by His Majesty, and also had the right to open a government!"
"I would like Gongda to be the director and Mr. Jia to be the chief historian. I wonder if you two can deign to do so?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Zhang looked directly at the two of them, waiting for their reply.
Xun You lowered his head slightly and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty transferred me to the General's Mansion, how dare I disobey! Please take care of me in the future, General!"
Liu Zhang was not surprised by Xun You's reaction. After all, he came to report to him today.
But this is not considered allegiance, Liu Hong can also transfer him in the future.
Jia Xu didn't care about Xun You's answer, but bowed to Liu Zhang.
"Thank you for your love, General. However, Jia Xu is not very talented and wise, and it is difficult for him to hold a big position. He may not be able to live up to the General's high expectations!"
Jia Xu's answer still didn't surprise Liu Zhang. If Jia Xu agreed immediately, it would surprise Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Jia is such a talented person, why should you belittle yourself? Isn't it possible that Mr. Qu Qu, a long-time master, cannot be judged by Mr. Jia?"
Jia Xu just shook his head gently and said nothing.
Xun You's rejection of Jia Xu was rather surprising.
In his opinion, Jia Xu should have no reason to refuse.
Liu Zhang used a huge favor to find him, received him personally, and directly awarded him the high position of Changshi, which was already a very courteous and virtuous corporal.
Moreover, Liu Zhang is both a hero and a rare wise master!
Seeing Jia Xu's silence, Liu Zhang turned his head to Xun You again.
"Brother Gongda, if one day I leave Luoyang and go somewhere else, will you be willing to accompany me?"
"Um?"
Xun You looked at Liu Zhang in surprise. He didn't quite understand what Liu Zhang meant.
"What do you mean, general?"
Liu Zhang took a deep breath and felt it was time to confess.
These two people are so smart, and if they don't make it clear to themselves, they will inevitably ask questions knowingly.
"You two are not people who take things for granted, so let me tell you straight!"
"The world seems calm now, but in fact it is turbulent and has hidden waves!"
"Although the main force of the Yellow Turbans was wiped out, Yellow Turban rebellions continued one after another in various places. It was just that the scale was smaller and no longer attracted the attention of the court."
"Coupled with a year of war, the imperial government's finances cannot make ends meet, and there is no spare capacity to send troops from the central government."
"The central government will no longer send troops, and it will inevitably let the states and counties carry out the campaign alone, which will inevitably give up many rights."
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Liu Zhang turned to look at Jia Xu.
"Mr. Jia, is Beigong Boyu rebelling?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu's expression changed drastically.
"How did the general know about this?"
