In the evening, the sky looked particularly clear. Han Dang rode in front to clear the way, while Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue followed behind, chatting while walking... In fact, although they were almost at the foot of Fengshi Mountain, the two of them were still there. Debate endlessly about what happened before.
"Brother, we won't be staying in Luoyang for long. It's okay for you to deal with Xu You for a while, but Fu Xie is really worth getting to know deeply." Gongsun Yue said sincerely. "You can't get along with such a person just because of this kind of thing. Already."
"Don't I know that Fu Xie will become a great person in the future?" Gongsun Xun replied helplessly. "Just like I don't know that Xu You is greedy? But Ah Yue, no matter what these people are like, I actually have another person in my heart. After some consideration..."
"What's the reason?" Gongsun Yue asked with all his strength.
"Ah Yue, look, this Luoyang is much better than Liaoxi. It has gathered almost all the world's outstanding people. The young talents are like crucian carp crossing the river. Moreover, everyone's family background, connections, and abilities may not be worse than ours. Some people even have Much higher than me... So at this time, when we are expanding our contacts and traveling to study and seek fame, we must pay attention to one fundamental thing, that is, we must not lose our original intention!"
"What is the original intention?" Gongsun Yue asked seriously.
"I am the main one." Gongsun Xun replied calmly.
"Brother is the main one?"
"No," Gongsun Xun corrected helplessly. "It's about yourself. That means no matter who you associate with, it doesn't matter who you associate with, whether it's someone with a high status or a low status, it doesn't matter if your virtues are admired, or if your actions are despised... ...You must stick to your own heart, and you must not follow the crowd, let alone lose your independent status in the communication between the two parties. Although Ayue and Fu Xie are a character, you must not do something to yourself just because of him! No matter how good a character it is, , you can’t use it for yourself, but do whatever you want for him, isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?!”
Gongsun Yue was dumbfounded... Although this truth sounded a bit selfish and harsh at first, it had some vague truth, because others didn't know it, but he knew it. His brother's "use for himself" was not There is no moral factor involved, it is purely a matter of priority.
But after thinking for a moment, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but mention another person: "Eldest brother..."
"The eldest brother's character has been like this since he was a child." Gongsun Xun lowered his eyelids and replied. "It's not like you don't know. There are some truths that he clearly understands in his heart, but he always has to deal with it awkwardly... And how can we, younger brothers, talk so much? "
Gongsun Yue glanced at his elder brother and was about to speak again when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. Looking around, he saw that Han Dang, who was leading the way, met Liu Bei and others riding horses and dogs, and they were laughing and chatting there.
Brother Gongsun Xun immediately shut up, stepped forward on horseback, and started chatting with these 'fellow disciples' whom they had not seen for several days.
After some joking, I learned that the other side was still in a free-range state, and that the other side had long known that the Gongsun Xun brothers were hooking up with the real boss, but neither of them had any feeling of being out of touch... This is normal, just It seems that when he was in western Liaoning, Gongsun Zan was suddenly chosen as his son-in-law by the eunuch. Gongsun Xun had the right to be jealous, but other young officials in the county had no right to be jealous. Who gave the family the surname Gongsun? Who made the family eight feet tall and good-looking? Is it majestic or loud?
By the same token, why are the Gongsun brothers the best among this group of people? And Liu Bei is just a "Han clan member" whose family is in decline?
Just like that, the two sides joked about it, because one side was going back to the mountain to rest, and the other side was going to the county town to return the dog or something, so they said goodbye... However, the horse could not walk a few steps, but Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped him.
Horse, and looked back at Liu Bei and his group who were separated from him.
"Brother?"
"Young Master?"
Gongsun Yue and Han Dang looked at Gongsun Xun in surprise.
"What do you think..." Gongsun Xun hesitated as he sat on his horse, reflecting the setting sun. "Compared with that Fu Xie, does Liu Bei have any advantages in doing things?"
"Brother...are you telling the truth?" Gongsun Yue and Han Dang looked at each other, and then the former spoke first. "If you want to tell me what the advantages are between Fu Xie and Liu Bei, I can list more than ten!"
"If that's the case, I won't ask you anymore." Gongsun Xun said, holding the reins in his hand. "What I'm asking about is Liu Bei's advantages compared to Fu Xie... There must be some. Come and see."
Gongsun Yue fell silent, his answer was self-evident.
"Forget it." Gongsun Xun shook his head and turned to ask Han Dang. "What do you think, brother Yi Gong?"
"Young Master Yue and I have the same idea. Fu Xie has more advantages than Liu Bei." Han Dang frowned and shook his head at first, but he still added thoughtfully. "However, it's not
If I want to talk about Liu Bei's advantages over Fu Xie... I don't know if this is considered an advantage, because it is probably because I am from a low background..."
"It doesn't matter, just say it."
"It's... Shaojun." Han Dang said seriously. "You don't know, in the past few days, I, the Han family, and you have been following Shaojun in the Liu Mansion in Luoyang. Except that Mr. Liu himself is really tolerant to others, which makes people heartbroken.
.When it comes to other young masters from aristocratic families, I always feel out of place, which makes me feel uncomfortable. When it comes to the straight-faced Fu Xie, I feel even more like a thorn in my back. But in Fengshi Mountain, although
There are also many children from aristocratic families, but whenever a kid like Liu Bei is around, it can always make people relax unconsciously."
Gongsun Xun looked calm and listened carefully, while Gongsun Yue opened his mouth to speak, but finally closed his mouth.
"Actually, it's not just me." Han Dang continued. "We are here in Fengshi Mountain. There are more than a hundred people in the house, starting from Aunt Jin to the three Han maids below. Although they don't say how much they like Liu Bei, almost all of them
I don’t hate him. If he comes to see him with anything, everyone will help him. As for Fu Xie, although I admire him very much, I strongly agree with Shaojun’s words, that is, it is best to treat Fu Xie
Only by keeping a respectful distance can people feel comfortable."
"What a respectful person." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh. "In fact, human nature is similar, you and I think so, what about other people? Then Fu Xie behaves noblely, who doesn't feel like a light on his back in front of him? Although Liu Bei
It’s nonsense, but from the eldest brother to me and then to Ayue, does anyone hate him? What Brother Yi Gong said is really good... But let’s go back quickly, we have to rush to Luoyang tomorrow.”
Han Dang and Gongsun Yue nodded together and turned around to urge the horses. Gongsun Xun followed behind, walking lightly while staring at the sunset at the end of the official road in the distance.
By the way, what Gongsun Xun has in mind is not limited to this level?
After hearing what Han Dang said, he suddenly remembered the 'deeds' and comments his mother had said about Liu Bei... This Liu Bei can 'win people'!
As for this 'person', at this moment, probably because order is still there, he can only be a scholar. Others, whether they are warriors with force or ruffians who can farm, are not considered human in the eyes of scholars
However, Liu Bei was still young and could not reach many scholars, so his ability to "get people" was not obvious. But if you think about it carefully, once the troubled times began, this man was not just a scholar, but even the ministers.
Down to the gang leader, anyone with a certain skill is naturally considered a human being, and this person's success naturally stands out.
As the saying goes, when you see the wise and think about each other, Gongsun Xun could not help but reflect a little... His mother taught him since his childhood that everything should be people-oriented. Although he listened, he made a huge mistake.
The mistake is that due to my background and vision, I have not been able to understand the concept of "person" for a long time. I reluctantly gathered a hand and followed the diagram... It seems that I have learned that I can correct my mistakes after I know them!
In a daze, there was a commotion in front of him, and he had already arrived at the other courtyard at the foot of Fengshi Mountain. Gongsun Xun got off the horse, and did not say anything about eating, but went straight to the backyard to find Aunt Jin, who was in charge of the other courtyard.

"Liu Bei... is formidable and generous, knows how to treat others, has the style of the great ancestor, and is a heroic weapon. He uses his power to make plans, but does not catch Yan Wu, so his base is also narrow. However, if he does not bend, he will never be inferior.
, To suppress the opponent's strength will not tolerate one's own, not only to compete for profit, but also to avoid harm." - "Jiu Yan Shu". Volume 28. No. 3 of the Aristocratic Family
