Chapter 61: Xu Shu
What kind of fetters this feud is, Chen Chen and his little couple naturally don't know, and they can only know this after they do it.
Anyway, looking at Cai Yan's shyness, I feel that it is not a good time in a short time.
It's better to wait for her to grow up a little longer and get married.
It is said that the marriage has been dragging on, and the young couple are now often in contact, and the adults on both sides seem to ignore the fact that they have not really completely passed the door, so the marriage was not held.
And according to Cai Yong's requirements, if you want to be a marquis, it is actually fast and easy now.
Whether it is Dong Zhuo's side, Liu Xie's side, or even Cao Cao's side of the Empress Dowager He, they all want to win over Liu Bei's group.
Not for anything else, just to be able to do them if Liu Bei doesn't come out at a critical time.
However, Chen Chen never thought that his title would become an exchange.
He felt that when the time came, others would take the initiative to add it to him, and this matter was not impossible, although the credit for some of the previous major events was concentrated on Liu Bei, but in fact, Chen Chen was also somewhat famous, and only one or two more major events could make Chen Chen famous, and if he made some contributions, he would be able to directly seal the marquis.
If someone knew that Chen Chen saw the matter of sealing the marquis so simply, then there would definitely be people who were full of emotion, and some people would even crawl out of the soil and scold Chen Chen, and Li Guang, who was in the soil at this time, burst into tears.
In fact, at this time, in addition to Liu Xie on Dong Zhuo's side, Liu Wei, who had successfully reached Yuan Shao's place, may also be qualified to give Chen Chen the title of marquis.
Because of the theft of the jade seal of the country, Empress Dowager He was with Cao Cao.
Therefore, there is no way to determine who is necessarily orthodox with anything, but it can only be said that whoever is strong and can unify the whole country first is orthodox.
And on this big stage, the people waiting to be on the most shining stage are not only Liu Xie and Liu Wei and their brothers.
There are still many, bright and dark people, waiting for the opportunity to appear.
In fact, at this time, the situation in the world has become much clearer.
Cao Cao coerced Empress Dowager He to seek a foothold in the east.
Dong Zhuo coerced Liu Xie in the west, using Chang'an as a stronghold to maintain the situation, hoping to see the princes of the east and the Central Plains fighting chaotically.
Yuan Shao had just harvested the deposed emperor Liu Wei who came to ask for him, and he had already planned how to seize Jizhou, and support the abolition of the emperor to re-establish it, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
And Sun Jian protected the jade seal of the country, returned to Jiangdong, and began to recuperate, the loss of the Jiangdong army brought to them by the Luoyang War was really too great, and they had to rest for a while to recover.
In addition, Yuan Shu, who returned to Nanyang, has already controlled Runan in his own hands with the support of the Yuan family, gathered millions of people, and expanded to the surrounding areas.
In addition, Liu Biao, who sits in Jingzhou and has stable power, is monitoring the misdeeds of the surrounding princes.
There are also Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, who are at odds with each other in Youzhou, waiting for the situation to stabilize in Yizhou, hoping to temporarily settle down in a corner of Liu Yan.
Firmly grasp Tao Qian, who runs Xuzhou.
and Liu Bei of the state.
There are already so many large princes in the world, once a war starts, how many wars will burn this land?
This is the foreseeable future, and it is the inevitable future.
And there is nothing anyone can stop.
Even if Chen Chen knew such a future and wanted to solve it, but as a person who considered whether he could survive safely and soundly in advance, he could not let Liu Bei take risks and launch a blitzkrieg without being prepared and without the strength to really crush the world.
Now it is time to slowly figure it out, wait until the accumulation of strength is enough, and then use the lightning speed to unify the world.
Otherwise, if there is a little mistake, the foundation will be ruined.
Chen Chen didn't want to walk on the wire rope like that.
Look at Cao Cao, the Battle of Chibi folded a bunch of family foundations, resulting in no way for him to use his time to bulldoze the south when he was alive.
If the Battle of Chibi had been won, the three kingdoms would have been unified long ago.
Look at Liu Bei again, he poured all the troops of the whole country to fight a battle that could not be fought, and buried all the bottom of the Shu country, which led to the exhaustion of the Shu country later, and the stars withered, and no one was available.
Even if Zhuge Liang coordinates everything and does it himself, there is still no way to get out of Shu.
As for Eastern Wu, forget it, even if they have an army of 100,000, it is useless, and a Zhang Liao with 800 defenders can suppress them.
Anyway, Chen Chen understands very well that in the strange era of the Three Kingdoms, he can't underestimate any of the forces.
Back then, he Liu Bei was able to start from scratch, from a ranger to the Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, so it is difficult to guarantee that someone in this life will be able to get the opportunity to rise and grow from a small force.
Whether it is Yan Ren, Chen Bo, or some young talents who have shown considerable potential that belong to them, but Chen Chen has no impression of them, it also makes Chen Chen understand that when the trajectory of the times shifts, some people who have missed the opportunity to shine may be able to shine their own light through this opportunity to shuffle.
And having learned the lesson of not recruiting Lu Bu in time, Chen Chen also asked his sailors to work harder to find those who had strength or potential in his impression.
In addition to the people on the list, Chen Chen also makes people pay attention to some famous people in various places, and some people with special strength, not limited to the list.
Of course, when Chen Chen just sorted out this list some time ago, he was joked by Xun You that it was an assassination list.
On it, Jia Xu's name has been crossed out.
And as their families were brought to Taiyuan, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong also began to serve in the army in a low-key manner, and obtained opportunities for promotion through normal channels.
This was their own request, and Xu Rong had already begun to learn and take over Xu Huang's work.
Maybe it's because the two men from the Xiliang Army feel that they should convince people with reason.
Reason here refers to common sense.
However, because the results of his own fight in the army were indeed more convincing, Liu Bei also approved their request, retained their military positions, and let them start again from the Taiyuan New Army, waiting for them to mix, and then the military positions to be arranged for them were given to them.
The two of them are naturally different from ordinary soldiers.
After showing enough strength to convince the public, the speed of promotion is like that of a rocket.
The two of them are not well-known in the Bingzhou Army, and everyone only thinks that they are strange people produced by the Bingzhou Army itself, and they have returned to their rightful position, Hua Xiong has become the deputy general of Second Brother Guan in a dignified manner, and Xu Rong has also become Xu Huang's deputy general.
Hua Xiong felt that he had the same appetite as Second Brother Guan, and he also understood that his level was not the most top-notch in Liu Bei's group, so it would not be a loss for him to be able to be a deputy general directly, after all, if Guan Yu was in charge of one side and wanted to arrange a pioneer, he would also be a good candidate.
And Xu Rong was quite flattered, he was only familiar with it before, but this time he was promoted back, Xu Huang clearly told him that he planned to let him take over the Taiyuan New Army in the future, sit in Taiyuan, and serve as an excellent military training base and a general in the center.
This kind of responsibility is actually quite in line with Xu Rong's thoughts.
He wants honor and military merit, but he also wants to spend more time with his family.
This position, which is similar to the Royal Guard, but can provide support to the front line, is really comfortable for him.
And the navy sent by Liu Bei was a bit of a windfall.
This harvest came from Chen Chen's alma mater.
The navy lurking in Yingchuan found traces of Xu Shu.
This is about the same as Chen Chen's budget, just right.
If Chen Chen is not mistaken, it should be last year, Xu Shu, who was still called Xu Fu at the time, was still a dashing ranger everywhere in Luoyang, killing people on the street in order to avenge his friends.
After he finished killing people, he directly smeared white powder on his face, and fled with his hair scattered, originally trying to pretend to be a madman and run out, but he was still caught by the officials.
The official asked Xu Shu what his name was, but Xu Shu didn't say a word, because he still had an old lady in his family, and the old lady didn't know that he had avenged others and broken the law, so Xu Shu thought about killing him without saying his name, and then the official who arrested Xu Shu tied Xu Shu to a pillar, holding a sword high in his hand, looking ready to dismember him.
He also made people beat the drum and ordered to summon the people living around him to come out to identify Xu Shu, wanting to ask him about his identity.
But when Xu Shu was a ranger before, some neighbors knew his decisiveness and ruthlessness, and those who were a little familiar with Xu Shu were also frightened by his cloak and white powder, and they didn't dare to speak.
In the end, Xu Shu was rescued by some of his friends in the rivers and lakes.
Under the recommendation of a friend, he planned to change his past mistakes, find a place to study, take refuge, and wait until his crime was over before returning to Luoyang.
This friend of his is called Zhuang Xinghe, and the places recommended by Zhuang Xinghe to him are Yingchuan Academy and Taihang Academy.
However, what he recommended was to go to Yingchuan Academy to learn the basics first, and then go to Taihang Academy for further study.
Does this matter have anything to do with Chen Chen?
There must be, but he really doesn't know about Zhuang Xinghe.
Because Zhuang Xinghe followed Yan Ren to Luoyang for a period of time, and then returned to the army before the Battle of Luoyang began, he was in Luoyang during this time to take care of Yan Ren, but Yan Ren did a good job, so Zhuang Xinghe had nothing to do at all.
In this process, he happened to meet the little ranger Xu Fu he knew before, but Xu Fu was a little embarrassed, so after he rescued him, he showed him a clear way.
The reason why he was asked to go to Yingchuan Academy was because Yingchuan Academy was closer to Luoyang, and Xu Fu was a very filial child, which Zhuang Xinghe also knew, so he meant to let Xu Fu go to Yingchuan to study for a period of time, and then go back to Luoyang to pick up his old mother and go to Taiyuan to find him.
He observed in Liu Bei's group for a period of time and found that if the generals had knowledge, they could be more reused.
Otherwise, you can only be like yourself, being a panacea for use everywhere, but because you don't study, you can't become a general in the army.
This has been confirmed before the couple went to join the army.
has been a ranger all their lives, and the sense of solitude engraved in their bones makes them not suitable for commanding the army.
can only work part-time and part-time in the navy where the work is not particularly different from that of the rangers, and the main job is the military doctor in the army.
He hopes that Xu Fu, a junior, can mix better in the future, so that he can also mix some of the benefits of stability with himself.
At that time, Chen Chen had not given the list, and now Zhuang Xinghe also saw the list, but he had no feeling for Xu Shu on the list, because Xu Fu changed his name to Xu Shu, he didn't know that he was still waiting for his little brother to come to Taiyuan to find him.
Of course, Zhuang Xinghe's contact with Xu Fu has stopped half a year ago, when Zhuang Xinghe took Xu Fu's wife out of Luoyang in advance and sent her to Taiyuan to be taken care of by Zhou Zhou, he wrote a letter to Xu Fu, who was still taking refuge.
It is estimated that Chen Chen couldn't have imagined that Xu Shu had already entered his own camp with half of his own people.
The reason why he squatted in Yingchuan Academy was that he didn't want that ranger Shan Fu, but Xu Shu after he finished his studies.
This guy is an old capitalist and doesn't want to help others grow, he just wants to pick peaches directly.
Moreover, Shan Fu is also the pseudonym that Xu Shu used when he met Liu Bei at the beginning, so Chen Chen didn't put this name into the list, he always made it clear that he wanted to be the Yingchuan Xu Shu who had learned, and he didn't even know that people had already moved from Yingchuan to Luoyang.
But fortunately, everything went unexpectedly smoothly, and the path that Zhuang Xinghe pointed out to Xu Shu was just right.
After Xu Fu hid for a while, he changed his name and went to Yingchuan to study, and was discovered by the navy arranged by Chen Chen in Yingchuan.
Although Xun Yu can't grab it to help now, Xu Shu can't run away, right?
However, at this time, the navy sent bad news to Chen Chen, that is, Xu Shu's wife had already been picked up, but I didn't know who took Xu Shu's mother.
It's not easy.
How did Cao Cao find Xu Shu's wife?
Of course, Chen Chen definitely didn't think that the person who picked up Xu Shu's wife in advance would be his own person.
And because the navy army is in order to keep secrets, the system adopted is not all transparent, but a dark mode of subordinate docking system, which will be archived at the Taiyuan headquarters.
But normally, if the superiors are gone, some subordinates may not even know what their organization is.
Chen Chen, an old spy movie lover.
Anyway, Chen Chen and the others were going around there, and the person Xu Shu didn't know at all that he had become someone's prey.
Ahem, it's not accurate to say that it's the prey, but part of Chen Chen's current energy is indeed on him.
"People die and birds face the sky, don't die and go to Taiyuan!"
Xu Shu muttered this sentence in his mouth, looking at the ordinary school in front of him, Yingchuan Academy.
I haven't studied well for many years, and I don't know if I will wander in the ocean of knowledge or drown in it?
Try it, and you won't lose anything.
He boldly pushed open the door of Yingchuan Academy, and the eyes of his figure looking at him from a distance were no less than three pairs.
