With Cao Cao by my side, what do I have to fear from the world?

Chapter 20, Can Zhao Yun be recruited?
Liu Xie then took out another letter. "Send this letter to Changshan and give it to someone named Zhao Yun!"

The letter was handed to Wang Cai right in front of Fu Shou.

Liu Xie completely trusted his woman!
Wang Cai hurriedly put the letter away and placed it in his pocket, nodding heavily.

Recruiting Xu Huang was easy, since Liu Xie and Xu Huang were not strangers and had gone through thick and thin together.

However, recruiting Zhao Yun was very difficult, but Liu Xie had no choice but to give it his all.

Because Zhao Yun is not by Liu Bei's side right now!

Previously, Liu Bei borrowed several thousand soldiers from Gongsun Zan, and also borrowed Zhao Yun to come to Xuzhou to help Tao Qian resist Cao Cao. After the matter was over, Zhao Yun returned home.

Zhao Yun disapproved of Gongsun Zan's cruel and bloodthirsty practices. Coincidentally, his elder brother died of illness, and Zhao Yun used this as an excuse to leave Gongsun Zan.

Zhao Yun left and never returned!

Zhao Yun is currently without a master, having left Gongsun Zan and not yet joined Liu Bei.

Although Dian Wei was a good person and more than capable of being a bodyguard, he was, after all, Cao Cao's man. Liu Xie needed reliable people by his side!
You can't possibly take Dian Wei with you wherever you go, or bring a whole squad of soldiers with you, can you?

Therefore, Liu Xie set his sights on Zhao Yun. Once Zhao Yun assisted Liu Bei, then all hope would be lost.

No matter how many sweet words were spoken or how many letters were written, it was impossible to persuade Zhao Yun anymore.

Fu Shou was very clever; if Liu Xie didn't say anything, she would never ask another question.

Wang Cai served him from the side. After a while, Liu Xie asked, "I asked you to treat those loyal and righteous men to a free meal. What happened?"

Wang Cai is good in this respect; he never asks questions when Liu Xie asks him to do something.

If asked to donate money, they donate immediately; if asked to do something for free, they do it for free without even asking.

Wang Cai replied truthfully, "About half of them come here and immediately start clamoring that they are loyal and righteous people who have done many things to right wrongs, but we don't even need to verify them. Others will step forward and expose them. Over time, there are fewer people who are just trying to freeload, but the number of truly loyal and righteous people is not large. So far, there are only about a dozen people. Among them, a few people keep coming to me, saying that they can't eat my food for free and asking if there is anything they can do for me?"

At this point, Wang Cai grinned bitterly, "Young master, you know, I'm just a businessman with no enemies, where can I possibly be of service? They keep bothering me with these questions, and now I don't even know what to say to them anymore."

Liu Xie smiled and said, "These are the real loyal and righteous people. You don't need to worry. They won't eat you. If you see them again, just tell them that you have always admired loyal and righteous people. That's all. If they keep bothering you, just say that you don't need anything for the time being. Ask them to leave their names and addresses so you can contact them if you need anything in the future."

During the late Han Dynasty, the people suffered from poverty, oppression, and humiliation, and many fled to other places. As a result, a group that was highly respected emerged: the wandering knights!

Most of them were wandering swordsmen who liked to fight injustice. At that time, there were no martial arts sects; everyone was genuinely unable to bear seeing the poor being bullied.

For example, Xu Shu once worked as a wandering knight-errant for a period of time!

When Xu Shu was arrested, he used a false name, Shan Fu!

Wang Cai listened attentively, and after Liu Xie finished speaking, he nodded repeatedly, saying, "I've remembered everything."

Suddenly, remembering something, Wang Cai said, "There is a particularly strange person. He is also a well-known loyal and righteous man, and those wandering knights recognize him. I am certain that he has indeed done many chivalrous things, but this person is very strange."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Xie was always very interested in strange tales. "He came every day, ate all three meals at the small shop, and left as soon as he finished eating. I heard that he would stroll around in front of the Sikong Mansion every day, hoping to make a name for himself."

"Therefore, the other wandering knights did not respect him very much and often talked about him behind his back, saying that he was greedy for wealth and wanted to get promoted and make money. Everyone else deliberately distanced themselves from him and treated him as an outsider."

"Oh? What's his name?"

The fact that this person could run to Cao Cao's mansion alone, hoping to make a living, immediately caught Liu Xie's eye. He thought this person must be really capable.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to go to Cao Cao's court and make a fool of themselves.

As for his greed for wealth and status, everyone has their own ambitions, and not everyone is content with an ordinary life or wants to live a simple life.

"His name is Wang Yue, and he's from Yanshan in Liaodong!"

"It's him?"

Liu Xie was not unfamiliar with this name; he had heard of it. Moreover, historically, Wang Yue had been Liu Xie's kendo teacher.

"Young master, have you heard of this man? Some of the patrons who come to our restaurant have heard of him. They say that he once single-handedly broke into a bandit's den and killed dozens of ruthless bandits in one night, which greatly enhanced his reputation. So when he came to our restaurant to dine, we quickly found out his identity. He does indeed have some skills."

"I remember at the beginning, some wandering swordsmen in the shop were not convinced and challenged him. He knocked their swords away with just one move! After that, no one dared to mess with him anymore!"

Liu Xie picked up a cup of wine, brought it to his lips, and smiled with narrowed eyes. "Very good. He seeks an official position, and I seek talent. This can be considered fate."

After they had finished eating and drinking, just as Wang Cai was about to personally see Liu Xie off, he suddenly pointed into the distance.

"Young master, that's the man! He's Wang Yue!"

A middle-aged samurai carrying a sword walked towards us from the opposite side. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked somewhat weathered and down on his luck. His hair was disheveled and his sideburns were covered with stubble, indicating that he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.

A disheveled appearance.

But even from a great distance, Liu Xie could still sense the unique arrogance emanating from him as he journeyed along.

Wang Yue stared coldly ahead, ignoring the pedestrians coming and going on the street. He stood tall with his chest out, each step as if it had been planned in advance, steady and powerful, as if everyone here was inferior to him.

She has a strong personality. As the old saying goes, capable people are often very arrogant and may even look down on others. It seems there is a lot of truth to that.

Wang Yue, around forty years old, strolled leisurely towards them. When he got close, his gaze fell on Wang Cai's face, and he gave a slight nod as a greeting.

After all, he had been eating and drinking for free at Hongyun Restaurant all this time.

No matter how much you look down on others, you can't offend Wang Cai, who is giving you food.

Wang Cai said with a smile, "Wang Yishi, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Liu."

Wang Yue turned his head and glanced at Liu Xie, immediately regarding him as a spoiled brat who only knew how to order servants around. There wasn't even a hint of a smile on his face.

Seeing his arrogance, Dian Wei snorted in displeasure.
