Outside the city of Quanzhou, Zhang Sheng and Lu Ning waited outside the city with two entourages, and from time to time there were carriages or passers-by passing by, many of these people knew Zhang Sheng, and they all felt strange, who needed the lord of Quanzhou to go out of the city to greet him?

I said, is that really it? Just a few of us? Isn't it too much..."Zhang Sheng looked at Lu Ning on the side, and said with some trepidation.

According to Zhang Sheng's meaning, he wanted to take the big and small officials and some representatives of the Quanzhou squires out of the city to meet Ma Qiang, but was stopped by Lu Ning, saying that Ma Qiang said in the telegram that he would not travel with great fanfare, so there should be fewer people on his side.

"Don't worry! That's our brother-in-law! Lu Ning was a little proud when she said that, in her life, she felt that the most worthwhile thing she had done was to accept Ma Qiang as a righteous brother when Ma Qiang was still a wild man.

What is the wisdom of gold, the old lady is the wisdom of gold!

"It's coming! Here it comes!! ”

Ma Qiang's team is still very recognizable, after all, there are tiger teams, and there should not be many in the world.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Ma Qiang stepped forward to greet loudly from afar, so frightened that Zhang Sheng stepped forward and wanted to worship, but was stopped by Lu Ning.

Lu Ning understands that Ma Qiang does this, naturally hoping not to affect everyone's feelings because of the change in identity, if Zhang Sheng really worships down, then when Ma Qiang dives into the dragon, the friendship between the two parties can be regarded as over.

Of course, this approach is different from person to person, and it is necessary to pay more attention to proportion, you don't see Xu You, you rely on your own merit, and Cao Cao is small, scared of heaven and earth, and directly sent yourself to hell.

I saw Lu Ning pull Zhang Sheng to the back, then covered his mouth, looked at Ma Qiang, and said with tears in his eyes, "My good brother, you think you're here after all, I thought you forgot your sister and brother-in-law!" ”

"Didn't I send a telegram before, saying that I would come to Quanzhou, speaking of which, Quanzhou has changed in recent years... It's so big..."

At this time, Quanzhou is no longer the dilapidated town of the past, with solid cement roads, newly built small buildings, and endless caravans, carriages and horses, which make Quanzhou full of vitality.

"That's right, your brother-in-law has done a good job in the past few years."

"Zhang Xianling is really talented..."Ma Qiang's words indicate that he is no longer Zhang Sheng's brother-in-law, but the general of Zhenbei.

"Zhang Sheng listens to the order!"

Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and was almost knocked down by Lu Ning's kick, only then did he react, and hurriedly bowed, "Listen to the order!" ”

"During Zhang Sheng's tenure in Quanzhou, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and he was meritorious in training the navy, and he was promoted to the county guard of Yuyang, and he took office ten days later, and there must be no mistakes!"

The county guard?

I'm a county guard??

Zhang Sheng, who was still a county lieutenant back then, grew his mouth and couldn't believe it, but Lu Ning took Zhang Sheng's hand and saluted happily, "Thank you Ming Gong, Ming Gong, what about Quanzhou?" ”

"Naturally, someone in Quanzhou will take over, sister, I give my brother-in-law such a big gift, will you also pay me back?"

"Still?" Lu Ning opened his arms and said with a smile: "Brother, look at what valuable things you have on my sister, just take them!" ”

Ma Qiang shook his head and said, "I didn't want this... I wanted my sister to persuade two people to write a letter for me. ”

Lu Ning's smile suddenly froze, Ma Qiang looked at Lu Ning like this, and knew that this smart sister had already thought of who she wanted her to persuade.

"Although Xuzhou is good, compared with my Zhenbei Army, who is strong and who is weak, my sister wants to know. Lu Gong is dedicated to the imperial court, hoping to rely on Tao Qian to form an alliance to save the Son of Heaven, although I know that it is impossible, but I also admire his spirit of knowing that he cannot do it, so I do not dissuade him.

But now that Yanzhou has become hostile to Xuzhou, Lu Gong can defeat Cao Cao once, but it is difficult to defeat him a second time, compared to Cao Cao, Xuzhou is too weak... Jiujiu Chinese

I only hope that after the defeat of Duke Lu, he can return to the Zhenbei Army, and I don't want him to be a soldier to fight, the Military Academy and the Education Supervision Bureau, he can choose one at will, he can teach fierce generals like Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, and I think he can also teach more generals for my Han in the future. ”

Lu Ning lowered his arms, sighed and said, "I will persuade my two nephews to write letters, but my brother's temper is too stubborn, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay, do your best, and let it be your destiny." Ma Qiang smiled and said, "Let's go, when I visit Quanzhou, I will go back to Jizhou tomorrow." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't be in a hurry, Jizhou has come to urge several times, and the gap of officials in various places is too big."

While Ma Qiang was preparing to go back to the office, Cao Cao was also recruiting new talents in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's defeat this time, although there is his own light enemy, but there are also reasons for the instability of Yanzhou, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou according to Xun Yu's suggestion to start the Yanzhou family talents, hoping to use this method to alleviate the discord between himself and the Yanzhou scholars.

Although he is ready to use the talents of the Yanzhou family, Cao Cao also has a bottom line, he is still competing for hegemony in the world, and he doesn't want people who don't have the ability.

After layers of screening, the three of them stood in front of Cao Cao.

These three people are Wei Chong, Bi Chen, and Ruan Chen.

Cao Cao smiled and stroked his beard again and again, he had read the articles of these three people, and he was indeed a masterpiece.

Among the three, Bi Chen was the oldest, and at this time he was already the Gongcao of Dongping County, while the other two were both white.

"Cunzi, Zili, Shixin, the three of you are all my Yanzhou heroes, and now I am surrounded by strong enemies in Yanzhou, and I need you to help me, I want to show you three as officials, but I don't know what the ambition of the three of you is?"

Ruan Chen, who had been expressionless, directly arched his hand and said, "The student is obsessed with the landscape, if it is not forced by the family, he will never come, today Ming Gong is above, please let me return to the mountains and forests!" ”

Cao Cao almost pulled his beard off when he heard this.

Madan, you're here to play with me?

It's recommended again, and it's screened again, you think filial piety is worthless!

Do you know how many people are eager to draw their swords for a filial piety? Why? Isn't it just that he can be an official?

You still don't want to be an official when you get it?

What does it mean to occupy the pit and not, you are the pit and not!

Xun Yu hurriedly coughed and shook his head desperately at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao held back his anger at this time, he was preparing to make peace with the Yanzhou Shi clan this time, but he was not here to kill.

That's it, just go, don't come back when you go!

"Since Ruan Shixin is unwilling to serve the imperial court, then don't be a leader in your life, I hope you can make more good works, and let the world know that I have a lot of talents in Yanzhou."

"Thank you Ming Gong! Shixin will leave a peerless chapter in this life to repay the grace of the Lord today! ”

Looking at Ruan Chen, who waved his sleeves and turned to leave, Cao Cao's brain and blood vessels were about to burst.

Angry every day, it's no wonder that his headache got worse and worse later.
