Chapter 172 A thousand-mile horse is always there, but a bole is hard to find

After Liu Bei and Liu Xie talked late at night, basically nothing happened in Xuchang, and it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

It's the fifteenth day of August.

Cao Cao held a grand banquet in Sikong Mansion. All civil and military officials from Xuchang were present. Cao Ren and others, including those who were far away in Xuzhou, left their lieutenants and rushed back.

This Mid-Autumn Festival feast was nominally to celebrate Xi Yu's appointment as Taiwei. By around You hour, the entire Sikong Mansion was already brightly lit.

After Xi Yu entered Sikong Mansion with Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, everyone he saw along the way saluted Xi Yu and congratulated him.

Faced with this situation, Xiyu remained as usual.

After seeing Xi Yu arrive, Cao Cao, the host of the banquet, immediately took Xi Yu and sat beside him.

At this time, everyone lined up around him. As Cao Cao nodded, groups of attendants began to bring out all the meals and drinks for tonight.

After the banquet started, Cao Cao was quite impressed. As he raised his glass, he casually said a few words.

Xi Yu raised the lamp together with a smile on his face.

After all, Xiyu today still recognizes Lao Cao.

From the very beginning when he chose to enter Cao Ying, Xi Yu didn't think too much about it.

It is still the case to this day.

He just keeps doing what he can and wants to do!

It doesn’t matter what outsiders think.

It doesn't matter if he is a Taiwei, a great agricultural officer, or an orderer of Taicang.

For Xi Yu, it is just a professional title.

All it represents is reputation!

However, being promoted to lieutenant is still useful in this era.

It’s just that he doesn’t value it now!

At this time, the venue had already begun to become lively.

Xi Yu chatted with Cao Cao for a few words, then sat by himself and ignored anyone.

Dian Wei joined General Cao Ying's camp again.

You can still hear from a distance that someone is making fun of Dian Wei by using his name as Zhuang Houhou.

And Dian Wei's loud rebuttal was actually extremely loud.

now.

Liu Bei, who was in the middle of the banquet, just glanced at Xi Yu from a distance.

After talking to Liu Xiechang late at night, Liu Bei now has stronger and stronger thoughts about leaving Xuchang.

For him, if he continues to stay in Xuchang, sooner or later his mind will be exhausted.

He must find a way and find all the help to help him get out of trouble in Xuchang.

Liu Bei knew that it was impossible to rely on Xi Yu now.

For the time being, the other party still stands with Cao Cao. Although he will not embarrass himself, it will be even more difficult for him to help him leave Xuchang.

After looking away from Xi Yu, Liu Bei's eyes began to scan towards the people at the banquet.

At today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the famous civil and military officials in Xuchang are present. Even some people who are not usually qualified are also lucky enough to participate in this banquet today.

Not only Cao Cao's subordinates, but also Dong Cheng and other veterans of the Han Dynasty were also included.

At this time, Liu Bei's eyes fell on Dong Cheng and others.

Compared with the camp led by Cao Cao, the side of the Han Dynasty veterans where Dong Cheng sat was much quieter.

On the entire banquet, the two sides were as distinct as the Jingwei River.

"General Dong, look at those people, it's so lively!"

Someone made sarcastic comments near Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng didn't speak at this time. He just sat quietly in his seat and poured wine into the wine glass.

"That must be Yang Gong's son!"

Someone's eyes fell in the direction of Cao Cao and the others, where Yang Xiu, with a slight smile on his face, was holding a wine cup and seemed to be greeting the people under Cao Cao's command enthusiastically.

The look on his face seemed like he wanted to blend in.

However, in the eyes of Dong Cheng and others, Yang Xiu looked like a buffoon at this moment.

He obviously has a family background of four generations and three princes. If he really promoted filial piety and integrity and became an official, he would not be like now, being thrown into chores by Cao Cao if he followed their path.

Especially because he was Yang Biao's son, everyone under Cao Cao's command shunned him.

At this time, Liu Bei's eyes followed those of Dong Cheng and others and fell on Yang Xiu.

During the previous month's review, Liu Bei could see Yang Xiu's talent.

Although this person is somewhat arrogant, it is undeniable that someone like him is exactly what Liu Bei needs.

Liu Bei's eyes fell on Yang Xiu, and his eyes quietly looked at Yang Xiu who was surrounding Cao Cao and others.

At this moment, Yang Xiu Xiu was standing in front of Xi Yu with a wine cup in hand.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant!"

The expression on Yang Xiu's face looked very sincere.

Xi Yu didn't think much of it.

According to the original history, Yang Xiu was integrated into Cao Ying in the end.

If the other party had not participated in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, perhaps he would not have been killed by Cao Cao for any reason.

At that time, Lao Cao also valued Yang Xiu's talents very highly.

only!

Everything today has already changed.

At present, Cao Ang is not dead, and Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others are not taken seriously by Cao Cao at all.

After all, in today's era, the eldest son or legitimate son has decided all problems from the root.

Although Cao Ang was not a direct descendant, he was the eldest son and he grew up with Mrs. Ding.

Madam Ding was Cao Cao's official wife, so Cao Ang's status naturally increased.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others were not born to Mrs. Ding, but were descended from Mrs. Bian.

With Mrs. Ding here, Mrs. Bian can only be a concubine, and these two are naturally not legitimate sons.

In this way, since they were both born as concubines, Cao Ang's eldest son had a natural advantage.

What's more, although Cao Cao didn't train many sons over the years, when Cao Ang was around, Cao Cao would basically take him with him to teach him.

This is the orthodox successor in Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Ang is here.

The only existence that Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others have right now is that of Cao Cao's son!

Without any plans to cultivate other heirs, Cao Cao would not specifically send Yang Xiu to his son.

Under such circumstances, Yang Xiu's existence is somewhat inferior.

Put next to Cao Cao himself, compared with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others, Yang Xiu was a bit immature after all.

In the end, Cao Cao didn't have any opinion on Yang Xiu.

Lao Cao didn't care if the other party was Yang Biao's son. In fact, as long as Yang Xiu was useful to him, Lao Cao didn't mind using Yang Xiu well.

Nowadays, when Yang Xiu is sent out to do some work that is neither salty nor light, perhaps Lao Cao has some considerations in mind.

It’s considered training!

However, this is what Cao Cao thinks, but others in Cao Ying will only look at the surface.

Because of the reason why Yang Xiu was placed, most people instinctively felt that Cao Cao disliked the other party's identity.

Therefore, at this banquet, this situation will become more obvious.

Almost no one under Cao Cao would take the initiative to talk to Yang Xiu.

Even if the other party approaches you with a warm face, the face he faces will change from a smiling face to a cold face in an instant.

I think Yang Xiu himself also experienced this difference.

At this moment, many things flashed through Xi Yu's mind, and he saw Yang Xiu congratulating him.

He didn't have any scruples.

Speaking of the title of Taiwei, Yang Biao is somewhat involved in it.
