February, the beginning of spring.

Winter has come to an end, and the temperature in various parts of the Han Dynasty has risen slightly.

However, we finally encountered the Little Ice Age, and even though the time has entered spring, there is still a bit of chill in the air.

With the advent of spring, the flow of people throughout Xuchang City has become larger.

Because of the Shi Nie transaction, the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Jizhou in Xuchang has greatly eased during this period.

At this time, because of his relationship with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is now busy competing with Lu Bu to merge the state.

In the same month, Cao Cao sent Kong Rong, an envoy in the name of the imperial court, to Jizhou, where he once again recognized Yuan Shao as the general, and further recognized him as the general to oversee the territory of Ji, You, Qing, and the four states.<

/p>

Yuan Shao was very happy during this trip.

There was no fighting in the north. Although Yuan Shu in the south attacked Xuzhou several times, he was resisted by Cao Ren and his troops.

The war did not have the slightest impact on the situation in Xuchang.

The recruitment order caused many scholars from all over the world to rush to Xuchang, and the school and fortifications established by Xiyu also began to enter the final stage.

Boss Cao is in a good mood and plans to conduct an open recruitment order in mid-March.

On the other side, Liu Bei has been making friends with scholars from all over the world since they entered Xuchang.

"Lord, most of these scholars are just mediocre people, why do they need to be treated so seriously every day?"

In the private room of Xuchang Restaurant, Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei, who had been making friends with scholars without much success, and couldn't help but comfort him.

Hearing this, Liu Bei subconsciously glanced out the window of the box.

"Zizhong, you also know the current situation!"

"Now I am trapped in a cage, unable to break free, and His Majesty has placed high hopes on me, allowing me to walk as the emperor's uncle!"

"How can I live up to His Majesty's affections if I only stay in the house? Now I have no choice but to make friends with scholars from all over the world!"

"Nowadays, there are countless scholars who have their hearts set on the great man, and I am deeply gratified."

"It's been troublesome for Zizhong!"

As he said this, Liu Bei looked somewhat apologetic.

These days, Mi Zhu has spent all his money on traveling. If he hadn't taken Mi Zhu with him, he wouldn't even be able to entertain those scholars.

Although the effect was very small during these days, it still gave Liu Bei some hope.

And Liu Bei vaguely remembered a certain scholar he had met in the restaurant.

The other party has an outstanding figure and extraordinary bearing.

Unfortunately, before he could step forward to make friends with the other party, the latter had already taken them away.

Liu Bei thought he had a very good eye for recognizing people.

Even though it was just a quick word, it was already obvious that that scholar was definitely not the one in the pool.

Although the other party looks young, his bearing seems to be full of talent.

These days, he thought he would see each other again, but his luck seemed a bit bad and he never saw her again.

Liu Bei was a little lost in thought, and Mi Zhu next to him immediately spoke.

"Lord, what are you talking about!"

"It's just a little money. If it's beneficial to the Lord, Zhu will spend all his wealth, so what's the problem?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was a little moved, and tears seemed to flash across his eyes.

Mi Zhu next to her also felt a little sad.

The host and minister didn't say much, and the atmosphere in the box was a little gloomy.

After a while, Mi Zhu seemed to remember something.

"My lord, I heard that the Xu brothers from Runan have arrived in Xuchang. They are quite talented. My lord might as well win over one or two of them!"

Compared with those unknown scholars, the reputation of the Xu brothers is much louder.

After Mi Zhu said these words, the light in Liu Bei's pupils couldn't help but shine a little brighter.

"Oh, are they the Xu brothers who founded Yuedan Ping?"

"It's these two people!"

Comment on the first day of the month!

When the Xu brothers presided over the Lunar New Year Commentary, the entire Han scholar community was moved.

All the scholars in the world want to go to that Yuedan Review and be evaluated by him.

Being evaluated by Yuedan Criticism will be of great help to his reputation among scholars. Even if he enters an official career, it will be affected by this.

Even Cao Cao back then had to block the door of the Xu brothers with his sword in hand in order to be accepted by Yuedan Ping.

Liu Bei was unknown back then, so he naturally had no chance to appear on the Moon Dancing Review. Now that he heard the names of those two people, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"My lord, I heard that the two Xu brothers went to Xuchang this time because they wanted to restart the Yuedan Ping. If my lord could recruit these two people and let them live in the Yuedan Ping to declare my lord's reputation, it would be better than bending down to make friends with these scholars.

It’s so useful!”

The big man still attaches great importance to reputation.

A person's reputation is like a label, just like the uncle Liu Bei is staring at now, it is also an extremely dazzling label.

"Do you know where the two Xu brothers are staying?"

Liu Bei asked Mi Zhu. Since he had a goal, he was naturally eager to visit the two of them.

With his current title of imperial uncle, it shouldn't be difficult to meet the two of them.

……

Liu Bei is preparing to visit the Xu brothers. At this time, Cao Cao is sitting in the Xuchang Yamen Office.

"The two brothers Xu Zijiang came to Xuchang!"

"We are all old friends, but these two people didn't come to see Cao!"

It seemed that he had received the news early. When Cao Cao said this, he subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu to the side.

Looking at Cao Cao's confused expression, Xi Yu felt helpless.

Now he naturally knows about the Xu brothers' visit to his home.

Because of the scholars outside, Xi Yu said that he would not see any guests during this period.

I didn’t expect that the Xu brothers would also look for him.

And not just once or twice.

It's a pity that when he found out about this, it was somewhat too late!

Of course, Xi Yu didn't pay too much attention to this situation. If he missed it, he would miss it!

Speaking of the Xu brothers, these two people in this era are nothing more than some well-known self-media celebrities in later generations.

In this era, it carries some traffic.

The Yuedan Commentary hosted by the two men was also highly praised by the scholars in the Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, Yuedan comments can make you famous, which is beneficial to your career.

On the other hand, through the monthly comments, you can make more like-minded people, which will be beneficial to your career in the future.

Xi Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip in his mouth, his face expressionless.

Cao Cao spoke again at this time, his tone seemed a little sour.

"I think back then, I wanted to ask the Xu family brothers to help me make a review, but they were rejected time and time again."

"For this reason, Cao was so angry that he put his sword on Xu Zijian's neck, and he was able to get two comments!"

A traitor in peacetime, a hero in troubled times!

Xiyu naturally understands this.

It's just that Boss Cao feels that it's a bit detrimental to his reputation if this word gets out.

After I left home, I changed it directly for myself.

Changed to: A capable minister in times of trouble, a traitor in troubled times.

After receiving the comments from the Xu brothers, Cao Cao's official career naturally went very smoothly.

Cao Cao didn't say much about his evaluation, but most people present at the government office had an idea.

"It can be said that things have changed and people have changed!"

"Back then, I had to hold a sword to get a comment from those two brothers, but now I have to compare it with Fengyi."

"I never thought that Fengyi would reject these two people again and again!"
