玄德宿玄德:“元直?”玄德:“刘景升。”:“怀。”:“。”After Liu Bei had eaten, he was shown to a chamber opening off the main room and went to bed. But the words of his host would not be banished, and he lay there only dozing till far into the night. Suddenly he became fully awake at the sound of a knock at the door and a person entering. And he heard his host say, "Where are you from?" Liu Bei rose from his couch and listened secretly. He heard the visitor reply, "It has long been said that Liu Biao treated good people and bad people as they each should be treated. So I went to see for myself. But that reputation is undeserved. He does treat good people correctly but he cannot use them, and he treats wicked people in the right way, all but dismissing them. So I left a letter for him and went away. And here I am." Water Mirror replied, "You, capable enough to be the adviser of a king, ought to be able to find someone fit to serve. Why did you cheapen yourself so far as to go to Liu Biao?
