Faced with Liu Yu's inquiry, Liu Bei had no reservations, so he told Liu Yu everything he could remember or knew about his family, the place where he lived, and the lives of his grandfathers and other generations.

Out of the narrative.

Liu Yu did not answer or interrupt, but listened carefully.

It wasn't until Liu Bei mentioned that his grandfather Liu Xiong was the magistrate of Fan County who was born as a filial piety and Lian...Liu Yu's face finally showed a smile.

"Good, very good! If this is true, the sect that Liu Xuande belongs to must be well-prepared by the Zongzheng Mansion. I will send someone to Chang'an secretly to check with the Zongzheng Mansion, and then I can help you make your name famous."

Liu Bei looked strange when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "How can Da Sima be so sure?"

Liu Yu said confidently: "Although there are so many clan origins in Zongzheng Mansion, since I know where you have lived and that your grandfathers were all born in Xiaolian, I can use this as a guide to find your name among them.

out!"

At that time, Han clan clan members among the people were required to live in groups according to the system. This also facilitated the court's management when searching for registration information.

Liu Yu continued: "As long as I can find out the membership of your branch in Zongzheng Mansion, I will personally come forward to certify you and treat you as a family member, so that you can make your mark as soon as possible."

After saying this, Liu Bei was overjoyed.

He hurriedly bowed to Liu Yu and said gratefully: "The kindness of Da Sima's guidance is really like the virtue of rebirth. There is no way to repay it... Thank you Da Sima for your kindness!"

Liu Yu laughed, then took out a piece of silk from the desk, dipped his pen in ink on it and began to write seriously.

When he was young, Liu Yu finished writing and handed the silk silk to Liu Bei and said: "Xuande, look at what this is?"

Liu Bei took it over doubtfully, and after reading it carefully, the expression on his face became more and more delighted.

This is a handwritten letter written by Liu Yu to the current Jiuqing Zongzheng in the court, asking him to check Liu Bei's archives based on the introduction of Liu Xiong and Liu Hongju Xiaolian.

Since Liu Xiong and Liu Hong had promoted Xiaolian, in addition to Zong Zhengfu, there must also be records of their own clans in the selection department of the imperial court. If we can use this as a guide, even Zong Zhengfu has a lot of files.

, which is relatively easy to verify.

The person to whom Liu Yu wrote this letter was the current Zongzheng Liu Song, the son of Liu Kuan, the famous clan official nicknamed "Zhaolie".

According to Han law, the position of Zongzheng, one of the Nine Qings, can only be held by members of the Han clan and cannot be given to others.

After Liu Yan and Liu Yu, Liu Song became the current Zongzheng.

As both famous clan officials, Liu Yu was naturally familiar with the Liu family of Hongnong Huayin. Liu Yu personally came forward and asked Zongzheng and Liu Song to help him obtain Liu Bei's files. This was really a trivial matter for Liu Song when he came.

Moreover, he would never fail to give face to Liu Yu, who is from the same clan. If it were someone else who wanted to switch jobs in Zongzheng Mansion, Liu Song would probably not even look at him.

Liu Bei gratefully handed the letter back to Liu Yu.

Although Liu Bei has always been calm and composed in his life, but at this moment, the muscles on his face still seemed to be trembling slightly due to being too excited, and his beard was swaying slightly, but not very much. If you don't observe carefully, it is...

Can't come out.

He bowed to Liu Yu again.

However, Liu Yu stretched out his hand to tell him not to be too polite, and then ordered him to sit down and said: "Xuande, please don't thank me. If you want to thank me, you can thank Liu Boyu from the Protector Alliance. If he hadn't recommended it to me, I would have

I didn’t know there was a clan hero in our Youzhou army.”

"Liu Boyu?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be surprised: "Could he be the son of Liu Shijun of Jingzhou?"

Liu Yudao: "It is this person. Liu Boyu wrote to me, saying that we, the Liu family, are an alliance to protect the emperor. In addition to his father and son and the old man and his son, we also need to recruit heroes from the clan. When the Han Dynasty is in crisis, we invite all clans.

We went together to fight the national calamity, lived up to our country, and repaid your kindness... And among the clans that have been widely invited, the first choice is you, Liu Xuande."

Liu Bei had never had any friendship with Liu Biao or Liu Qi and his son before. Now when he heard what Liu Yu said, he was surprised but also felt a sense of gratitude.

Then how did Liu Boyu know my reputation?

There was absolutely no need for Liu Yu to lie on this matter.

Liu Bei was puzzled, but he heard Liu Yu say: "Xuande, if your identity can be confirmed by the emperor, then you and I will be ranked according to seniority. I will either recognize you as my brother or my nephew."

My son, tell the world, draw you into the alliance to protect the emperor, and send a report to the court... to declare you the captain of Yuyang, how about it?"

Liu Yu's words made Liu Bei so happy that he almost exploded.

The Liu family members in the Protector Alliance, except Liu Yan, are all famous in various states and have a high reputation.

If Liu Bei can be drawn into the League of Protectors by Liu Yu, he will definitely become famous in the future, and he will be no less than a famous scholar in every county.

As for the border commanders or subordinate country commanders, they have military positions with a rank of two thousand shi. They have the power to open a government and can establish government agencies and choose their own officials. Some border commanders can even be in charge of civil affairs.

Liu Yu appointed Liu Bei as the captain of Yuyang, the subtext of which was that he wanted to use him to train his soldiers and generalize the military affairs in Youzhou.

At that moment, Liu Bei could be seen respectfully saying to Liu Yu without hesitation: "I am so valued by Sima Cheng. If you are not abandoned, I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

"Well, okay, there's no need to be formal." Liu Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You need to understand that if the Liu family joins the alliance to protect the emperor, from now on, they will take the Han Dynasty as the rule and all matters in the alliance as their own.

Seriously, when we, the Liu clan, have no choice but to do so, we should uphold great integrity and pursue great loyalty at the expense of small righteousness. We should not slander our own names and think that the world has abandoned us... Do you understand the meaning of my words?"

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat.

He naturally knew the meaning of Liu Yu's words.

Once Liu Yu draws him into the clan alliance, his duty to abide by his ministerial duties will be like a huge bamboo hat, which will be buckled on his head for the rest of his life. It cannot be blown away by the wind or broken by the rain.

If he dared to betray the alliance to protect the emperor because of his personal relationship with Gongsun Zan... without Liu Yu having to deal with him, Liu Bei would never be able to turn around due to the verbal and written attacks from the scholars and other clan members in the world.

As long as he agrees with Liu Yu today, it means that Liu Bei has completely sided with Liu Yu. From then on, he has completely separated from the military group and parted ways with his classmate Gongsun Zan in terms of political stance.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bei said with certainty: "Bei must uphold the integrity of his family and put the Han Dynasty and the world first. Once he joins the clan alliance, he will be a member of the alliance forever."

Liu Yu said with satisfaction: "Good."

…

Just when Liu Yu successfully attracted Liu Bei into the clan alliance, Liu Qi also welcomed another clan clan member - Zuo Shu Yilang Liu Fan.

"Liu Qi has met my clan uncle." Liu Qi bowed to Liu Fan very respectfully: "My clan uncle has come a long way and has been working hard. Please come and rest in the tent. My nephew will host a banquet for my clan uncle in the evening."

Liu Fan is quite different from his younger brother Liu Mao. Liu Mao is a bit of a sour scholar, pedantic in his work, and most importantly, he is a bit stupid.

But Liu Fan is obviously not such a person...

Liu Fan was tall and burly, with a beard on his face. Although he was a scholar, he looked like a warrior.

Just at a glance, Liu Qi felt that this was not an honest person who could be controlled by others.

If you think about it carefully, this person was not an economical person in history - he and his brother Liu Dan acted as internal agents and contacted Ma Teng with the intention of attacking Chang'an and getting rid of the two thieves Li Guo... As a result, he was killed by Li Jue because he did not do things secretly.

Killed cruelly.

Although he has done nothing, at least it shows that he has courage!

Courageous people are generally not very restless.

Liu Fan naturally knew that he was sent here as a hostage by Dong Zhuo, so he was not in a good mood at the moment.

Faced with Liu Qi's respectful salute, Liu Fan just bowed his hands to him as a greeting, and then strode toward the camp.

It seems that this is an acceptance of fate.

Liu Qi greeted Zhang Ren and told him: "You must treat this young master of Yizhou with courtesy and do not restrict his freedom. Let him go wherever he wants. Remember, do not send anyone to show his face."

Follow him and monitor him...at least he can't see that he's being watched."

Zhang Ren heard this and asked curiously: "Why is this? Isn't he a hostage? Should he be allowed to walk around in the camp?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "He is indeed a hostage, but we cannot let him feel that he is a hostage. It is best to give him some appropriate freedom and let him let down his guard and relax to the point where he thinks he can do whatever he wants.
