These days, Liu Bei has given various rewards and rewards to Ma Rixi, Cai Yong, Fu Qian and others, and all of them have been promoted in their positions.
But only for Xun Shuang, there were only financial rewards and no promotion of positions.
It was even rumored that one of the three vacant positions belonged to him, and he was also secretly looking forward to it, but this position did not belong to him. Even Huang Wan came back as a regular, but he still
There is no job promotion.
On several occasions, Xun Shuang extended an olive branch to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei did not accept it or respond.
The worry in Xun Shuang's heart suddenly reached its peak.
Liu Bei has indeed begun to give back to the people who invested in him before. No matter who it is, it seems that everyone is involved, including him.
But everyone else had political feedback, and this was the case after all he asked around.
He was the only one who could only provide financial feedback. Even Liu Bei did not take any further steps to recruit the Xun family. Instead, he extended an olive branch to the Zhong family and the Chen family, who were also from Yingchuan, and brought Zhong Yao and Chen Qun together.
Pi summoned him to the general's mansion.
The Zhong family and the Chen family agreed to Liu Bei's call, and their relationship with Liu Bei himself had been established. The Xun family was no longer the only one betting on Liu Bei among the Guandong nobles.
Does Liu Bei still hate him for that incident?
Being hated by the general of the dynasty and the first person below the emperor would do no good to the Xun family at all.
Xun Shuang once thought that he would not have such worries, but he never imagined that in just over a month, the situation would change drastically.
Liu Bei was always able to inadvertently make shocking actions and achieve shocking achievements.
The original idea, faced with reality, already made Xun Shuang himself feel a little ridiculous and ironic.
It is true that Xun Su is right. Xun Yu and Xun You are both working under him, and he will not do anything bad to the Xun family in any case. But if other major families are growing and being promoted,
But if Xunshi just stays put...
Even Xun Shuang couldn't accept this kind of thing.
He is ambitious and has the desire to develop his family and continue to grow. This is his biggest wish in his life, but at the moment, it seems that this wish is not so easy to succeed.
"Can Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao succeed?"
Xun Shuang asked Xun Su: "Su, in your opinion, are Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao likely to succeed?"
Xun Su looked at Xun Shuang in surprise.
"Brother, although I have no talent, I can still understand such simple things. The Yuan family has lost its righteousness, and now it wants to use its ministers to attack the emperor. This is a treasonous thing. How many people are willing to follow it?
them?
And at the beginning, brother, didn’t you also tell me that all the disciples and former officials accumulated by the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family are not as good as one Liu. From this point of view, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have exhausted all the members of the Yuan family for several generations.
The accumulation of money will completely ruin the Yuan family, and there is no other possibility."
Xun Shuang looked at Xun Su for a long time.
Then, he laughed bitterly.
"Everyone in the world says that I am the smartest among the Eight Dragons of the Xun Family, but now I realize, Su, sometimes, maybe you see things more accurately than I do..."
"Brother..."
"I know what to do, but I hope it's not too late to do it now."
Xun Shuang smiled bitterly and said: "A great opportunity is in front of me, but I look forward and backward. Am I still the unparalleled Xun Ciming?"
Full of regret, Xun Shuang called his daughter Xun Le.
"Le, my father said before that I will give you the right to choose. Your life-long events are completely up to you to decide. But now, the situation has changed a lot. My father may..."
"Father, do you want to take back what you said before?"
Xun Le looked at Xun Shuang calmly: "It seems that my daughter is right in not putting forward any ideas."
"Le, as a father, I have no choice but to do so. The current situation may be the last chance for Mr. Xun. If you miss it, you will really miss it."
Xun Shuang resisted the embarrassment and helplessness in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "My father really loves you, and you are the apple of his eye, but at the moment, time really waits for no one."
"My daughter knows because Liu Qiaoqi has become General Liu and an auxiliary minister."
Xun Le smiled and said: "In this case, my daughter still says that her father will make the final decision for her daughter's life-long affairs."
Xun Shuang looked at Xun Le with a smile on his face, feeling somewhat worried in his heart.
"Le, you won't... won't learn from your eldest sister and do something like that, right?"
"Is father worried?"
Xun Le smiled and said: "Don't worry, father, my daughter will not do such a thing. Yin Yu should be a good person, otherwise the eldest sister would not die for him. General Liu already has many concubines, how can he do what Yin Yu does?"
How about the deep love between husband and wife like the eldest sister?"
Xun Shuang felt a little relieved.
"That's the case, that's the best. You have to remember that after getting married, although you are the wife of the Liu family, you will always be the daughter of the Xun family."
"That's natural."
Xun Le nodded and said: "My daughter will never forget your kindness in raising her."
"well."
Xun Shuang nodded, and left Xun Le's room with a gloomy heart, and went to see Liu Bei, the general who took care of everything.
When Xun Shuang came to see Liu Bei, Liu Bei was handling military affairs.
After the new military system is established, there is a lot of work that needs to be done, especially the training of new recruits, which is the top priority. Liu Bei devoted a lot of effort to these armies and carried out relatively complete staffing.
Although he is on the front line in Luoyang, he has not relaxed the training matters at all. Whether it is a new recruit or an old veteran, as long as it is Liu Bei's soldier, it must be forged into a good piece of steel.
What needs to be explained is that there are indeed muds that cannot hold up the wall. There are such people, and there are many of them. Therefore, there are quite a few muds who have been expelled by Liu Bei during these days. There are hundreds of them, but most people still know how to do it.
of.
Liu Bei's treatment of the army has always been very generous, but in fact, for the big soldiers and poor people who don't have so many requirements, if he can give them enough to eat, he is like a Bodhisattva.
If Liu Bei didn't have any special needs, they would even feel a little uneasy and a little scared.
Otherwise, you, old man, should rebel, otherwise we will not be able to enjoy this bowl of rice.
This is probably what the bottom class thinks these days.
For the first time since their birth, the new soldiers who joined Liu Bei's group felt that the word "soldier" was so strange and special, as if they had never really understood what these two words meant.
Just like the big soldiers, so did the newcomers who came from all directions to join Liu Bei.
Mao Jie, Shi Huan, Zhang Ji, Zhao Yun and others arrived in Luoyang one after another in May and June, entered the general's palace to work, and successively came into contact with the operation mode of Liu Bei Group's self-contained system, and witnessed Liu Bei's army with their own eyes.
training and combat modes.
In this regard, they not only lamented that Liu Bei was rich, but also felt that Liu Bei was very generous and willing to spend money, and even his generosity was a bit abnormal.
After Zhang He, who had military experience, came to Luoyang to serve Liu Bei, he served as a military prince as a general and entered the army to gain experience and accumulate experience.
At first, he thought it was unnecessary, because he had enough combat experience, so he thought it was just a formality.
But after actually entering Liu Bei's army, and seeing the extremely high-intensity military formation training and the casualty rate caused by the military formation training, he had a completely new view on the word military training.
