A day later, Huang Xin, who couldn't stop in Yingyang, took Qin Yu and Jia Shu to Xuchang City.

When stepping into this city, Qin Yu and Huang Xin had a very complicated mood, after all, once upon a time, they were also a member of the righteous master, and this Xuchang was also the city that his righteous master was preparing to conquer, but who would have thought that today they would come to this city that is still under the Jin Kingdom in another capacity.

"Two, shall I go and meet the Grand Leader first?" Huang Xin urged politely on the side.

Jia Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is the matter of the moment. ”

A moment later, Huang Xin took Qin Yu and Jia Shu to the outside of Chen Lang's mansion.

Seeing Qin Yu and Jia Shu looking at the plaque engraved with the words 'Changshi Chen's Mansion outside the mansion in a daze, Huang Xin took advantage of the gap between the servants of the Chen Mansion to enter the palace and explained to the two: "Although the big leader holds the position of captain, he still has no mansion in Xuchang, so he stays in his friend Chen Changshi's mansion. …… This Chen Changshi heard that he was the chief of the officials of the county guard. ”

"Oh."

Qin Yu and Jia Shu couldn't help but glance at each other suddenly.

Who would have thought that at the beginning of last year, Zhou Hu was still notorious as a 'bandit', and now he has become the governor of Yingchuan County, and even has a relationship with a county-level official like the county warden Shi.

Given time, Jia Shu really didn't dare to imagine what kind of height the ambitious leader of Zhou could go.

"Maybe it's really not a bad thing to defect to Leader Zhou."

Recalling Ju Sheng's words of persuasion at the beginning, Jia Shu thought secretly in his heart.

On the side, Qin Yu also looked at Chen's mansion thoughtfully.

After a while, a steward of the Chen Mansion walked out of the mansion, hugged his fist towards Huang Xin and said: "Brother Huang Xin, Duwei Zhou is not in the mansion at the moment, why don't you go to the mansion first to take a breath and drink tea, and I will immediately send someone to the Governor's Office to communicate, how about it?" ”

It is not difficult to see from his respectful attitude towards Huang Xin that Chen Lang must have specifically instructed him.

"Then there will be labor."

Huang Xin smiled heartily, and went back and forth to Yingyang non-stop, and several of them really felt tired.

At the same time, Zhao Yu was taking Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun and several Gong Cao officials from the Governor's Office to comfort the families of the sacrificed soldiers in the city.

The reward of nearly five million a few days ago was a small fortune for the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, but for the soldiers who became disabled or sacrificed in this battle, the reward of less than two hundred and fifty dollars on average was really insignificant.

Therefore, for the purpose of winning the hearts of the army, Zhao Yu has taken people to comfort the disabled soldiers and the families of the sacrificed soldiers in the past few days, greeted them with warmth, and met their needs in life to a certain extent, which made the county army surprised everyone up and down: the domineering and powerful Captain Zhou couldn't see that he was still a captain who loved soldiers like a son.

In fact, many people can see that Zhao Yu is buying the hearts of the military, but so what? Even if you pretend to love soldiers like children, as long as you can treat every soldier well, it is no different from the real thing, and no one can gossip about this matter.

Around two o'clock, just as Zhao Yu and his entourage were in the city to comfort the families of the sacrificed soldiers, suddenly a steward of the Chen Mansion came in a hurry with a few domestic servants and bowed to Zhao Yu: "Du Wei." ”

Zhao Yu recognized that the other party was the steward of Chen Lang's mansion, so he asked politely: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

The steward replied respectfully: "A black tiger brother who calls himself Huang Xin has just returned to my Chen Mansion, saying that he has something important to ask to see Du Wei, but he doesn't know where Du Wei is, so he ...... it."

"Oh."

Zhao Yu immediately understood, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head and instructed the Gong Cao officials: "A few of you go back to the Governor's Office first, and I will go back to the Chen Mansion." ”

"Yes." Several Gong Cao officials gave up.

After dismissing those meritorious officials, Zhao Yu and his party immediately went straight to Chen's mansion.

Sure enough, in the hall of the main house in the front yard of the Chen Mansion, Zhao Yu saw Huang Xin, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu.

Due to the large number of people here, Zhao Yu brought Huang Xin and a few people to the West Garden where he lived, after all, Chen Lang had already ordered the servants in the house that no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission unless someone summoned them in the West Garden.

I have to say that in order to curry favor with Zhao Yu, Chen Lang really spared no effort.

After a while, Zhao Yu took Huang Xin and the three of them to the small building where he lived, and after inviting the three of them to sit down in the seats on the ground floor, he first smiled and said to Huang Xin who was tired: "Huang Xin, this back and forth, thank you for your hard work." ”

Huang Xin was flattered, patted his chest and said: "What the big leader said, it is a small honor to be able to do things for the big leader, and the small few people are not tired at all, and it is okay to go back and forth again." ”

Seeing that he was 'talking nonsense with his eyes open', Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun all showed good-natured smiles.

Of course, they won't debunk it, after all, this represents the loyalty of the black tiger thief to Zhao Yu up and down.

Zhao Yu laughed, casually asked a few words about Yingyang's situation, and praised Huang Xin a few words, and then blinked and said with a smile: "Our Niu Commander has a new cart of good wine, I am in charge of letting him reward you with a few jars, you take it back to the post house, and have a good rest." ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Niu Heng swallowing his saliva, while Niu Heng showed a look of fright - of course, this is just a joke, as a warrior who captured the rebel general Cai Wei alive, Niu Heng is still quite open in Xuchang, and the wine cellar on Chen Lang's mansion alone is open to him, and Niu Heng will naturally not be stingy.

In the case of having enough drinks for himself, this reckless man is still very generous.

Watching Niu Heng leave with Huang Xin and the others with a smile, Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Qin Yu and Jia Shu, and after noticing Zhao Yu's gaze, they also subconsciously straightened their backs. - It's an instinct of obedience.

"What's going on over there in Yingyang?"

Pointing to the direction of the door, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "That kid Huang Xin said in general terms, I want to hear the opinions of the two of you." ”

"Yes."

Qin Yu and Jia Shu glanced at each other, and immediately, Jia Shu took the lead in speaking: "As the end...... Ahem, as you can see below, the big leader doesn't need to worry about Yingyang for the time being. Since the brigade wolf reported to Yingyang, the right commander and Ju Sheng, Cao Wu and others immediately strengthened the city defense, and at the same time, the brigade wolf monitored the actions of Xiang Xuan and others, if the righteous teacher ...... Belch. ”

He was speechless, and secretly glanced at Zhao Yu with some uneasiness.

As if guessing his thoughts, Zhao Yu reminded with a smile: "As I said that day, I have neither prejudice nor prejudice against the righteous teacher, but in Xuchang, it is better for you two to pay attention to a little." ”

"Thank you, big chief, don't blame."

Jia Shu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "In short, as long as the rebels under Xiang Xuan's command have any trouble, they can't hide it from Yingyang. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yu nodded, and asked again: "What was Xiang Xuan doing when you two came?" ”

Qin Yu clenched his fists and replied, "When the two of us came, Xiang Xuan was building a camp and building siege equipment. ”

Zhao Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't he attack Yingyang immediately?" ”

"No, I didn't." Qin Wei shook his head and said, "In this regard, we all feel that this Xiang Xuan is strange...... It stands to reason that Xiang Xuan should have chosen to attack Yingyang, although it may have been the advance warning of the traveling wolf that thwarted Xiang Xuan's conspiracy to attack Yingyang, but I think Xiang Xuan should have been able to anticipate it in advance...... In short, I feel that Xiang Xuan's behavior is a bit strange. ”

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Jia Shu also nodded: "I also think Xiang Xuan's behavior is a bit strange, the big leader should be careful." ”

Hearing the judgment of Qin Yu and Jia Shu, Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction, and said that these two people are worthy of being former rebel generals, but this eyesight is higher than that of Tian Qin, Liao Guang and others.

In addition to sighing, he told Qin Yu and Jia Shu about the 'Yingyin people's report' a few days ago, and immediately said: "In fact, I also suspect that Xiang Xuan's attack on Yingyang was a trick by him to lure me into taking the opportunity to divide troops to attack Yingyin, so I decided not to move." …… As long as I don't divide troops on my Xuchang side, I can be invincible, no matter what tricks Xiang Xuan plays. ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long breath and said with a little depression: "Then...... Most of the officials of the Governor's Office are the former subordinates of the former Governor Cao Suo, and although they are deferential to me on the surface, they are actually ...... These people have suggested that they should take the opportunity to recover Yingyin. ”

"Is that so?"

Jia Shu was stunned and said: "The so-called rebel generals dare not speak bravely, this general of Xuchang, who has been defeated repeatedly since last year, dares to question the judgment of the big leader?" Don't they know that the Great Leader has defeated the rebels? ”

From the side, Qin Yu also showed an incredible look.

He couldn't believe that this Xuchang person still questioned the Zhou leader in front of him.

As if guessing the thoughts of the two, Zhao Yu said with emotion: "The current situation in Xuchang is very complicated, although the county Cheng Song Shu needs to use me to resist the rebels, he himself is also very protective of me, seeing that I gradually gained the trust of Li Junshou, he secretly slandered, there is no doubt that he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge; Cao Suo, the former lieutenant, although he was ordered by Li Junshou to 'recuperate at home' due to his lack of ability, Li Junshou did not really cut him off from his position as lieutenant, which gave some people reverie...... Take the Governor's Office as an example, those people are Cao Suo's old subordinates, and if there is a chance, I have no doubt that they will help Cao Suo return to the Governor's Office...... At present, there are not many generals who can handle Xuchang, and the most powerful scholars, namely Tian Qin and Liao Guang, I wanted to recruit two people at first, but now I look at ......"

He shook his head, and after a pause, he continued: "I summoned you two here in the hope of being a safeguard. I will appoint you both as judges, and divide their military powers. If Tian and Liao are always unconvinced, or ignore my orders in the matter of 'taking the opportunity to recover Yingyin', and Yang Fengyin disobeys, I intend to ask you two to replace them, but I don't know, are you two willing to share my worries? ”

Why think about such a good thing?

Jia Shu immediately stood up, solemnly knocked on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "The last general is willing to serve the big leader." ”

Following him, Qin Wei also clenched his fists on the ground, and said with a straight face: "The big leader of the day forgave those who escaped in the face of the last general, Qin Wei was unforgettable, and he was willing to serve the big leader." ”

"Good!"

Zhao Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and stepped forward with a smile to help Qin Yu and Jia Shu.

On the same day, that is, June 19, Zhao Yu took Qin Yu and Jia Shu to the Governor's Office and appointed them as sergeants.

After the news spread, there was a lot of commotion in the Governor's Office.

After all, anyone can see that this Captain Zhou has begun to install henchmen in the county army.
