"Regarding the appointment of Leader Zhou as the governor of Kunyang County, Xun also understands that this matter is really condescending to Leader Zhou, but please don't be anxious, with Leader Zhou's talent, I believe that after this catastrophe, he will be able to obtain a higher position...... And Xun will help out. ”

In the former yatang of the Kunyang County Ya, Xun Yi, the Western Governor, comforted Zhao Yu with a good voice, for fear that the leader of the black tiger thieves would be annoyed and angry because he was 'only awarded the post of lieutenant of Kunyang County', after all, even in his opinion, this official position was really small, not enough to accommodate the leader of the black tiger thieves.

But he also understands that this is a test for Zhou Hu by Li Min, the warden of Yingchuan County, or deliberately sharpening Zhou Hu's character.

The reason is that Zhou Hu was too rebellious, and he even did the work of burning and robbing officials in the past, and even at that time, his subordinates killed many county officials, so even if he wanted to 'enable' Zhou Hu, Li Junshou had to boil over this person's character, to put it mildly, it was to let Zhou Hu understand his position.

If Zhou Hu becomes 'docile', then Li Min doesn't mind promoting Zhou Hu in the future, after all, this Zhou Hu is indeed capable, much better than a group of generals in Yingchuan County.

But this kind of unspoken rules in the officialdom, Xun Yi is not easy to reveal to Zhou Hu, after all, for the parties concerned, 'being tested' is not a happy thing after all, Xun Yi is afraid that Zhou Hu will complain about Li Junshou and Yingchuan County.

Therefore, he only said good things in front of Zhao Yu, hoping that Zhao Yu would focus on the future and not care about the gains and losses in front of him.

However, I have to say that Xun Yi still underestimated the vision of the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him.

It is undeniable that Zhao Yu can't look down on the position of 'Kunyang County Lieutenant' appointed by Li Min, the county guard of Yingchuan, after all, his current energy in Kunyang is something that the post of county lieutenant cannot give.

But it is not so bad that he refuses Li Min's appointment with hatred, which will only make that Li Junshou hate him because of the great loss of face, which is of no benefit.

But in the bottom of his heart, his evaluation of the county guard Li Min also decreased.

After exhaling slightly, Zhao Yu said to Xun Yi with a smile: "The post supervisor is serious, and Zhou is already very satisfied with the position of county lieutenant......

“……”

Xun Yi looked at Zhao Yu's eyes inexplicably, as if he wanted to guess the truth of Zhao Yu's words.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu nodded with a smile and said, "It's true." Looking at Zhou's step by step to today, you can know that Zhou is a patient person......"

This is true, not to mention Zhao Yu, even if it is Zhou Hu whom Xun Yi knows, he is a very patient person, replacing Yang Tong and commanding the Black Tigers, in the confrontation with Kunyang County and even the counties, he tried to negotiate with the official family again and again, hoping to get rid of the notoriety of 'thief'.

Thinking of this, Xun Yi finally believed that Zhou Hu would not be unhappy because Li Junshou only granted the position of a minor official.

This leader of Zhou is a long-term person!

After a while, the two chatted about the same, and the time was also to eat, Zhao Yu said apologetically to Xun Yi: "The postal supervisor came at the same time, and it was very the way. ”

Xun Yi had already learned about Kunyang's current difficulties from Le Gui when he entered the city, how could he be surprised by this?

Out of courtesy, Zhao Yu sent someone to invite Liu Bi, the county magistrate, and Li Xu, the county magistrate, to invite these two to accompany them.

The etiquette is exhausted, but the meal is really as light as Zhao Yu said, I saw that Zhao Yu, Xun Yi, Liu Bi, and Li Xu were sitting on the table, and there was only a big bowl of broth, a plate of cured meat, a plate of vegetables, plus a small plate of dried fruits and a pot of wine.

Seeing this, even Liu Bi and Li Xu were a little inexplicably embarrassed, and looked at Zhao Yu frequently, not understanding why Zhao Yu made such a simple dish to entertain Xun Yi.

Noticing the looks of the two, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Xun Duyou is a gentleman who can communicate with each other, and we should repay it with sincerity." Immediately, he turned his head and said to Xun Yi again: "When I Kunyang gets through this crisis, I will definitely entertain Xun Yi next time." ”

"It's a deal!" Xun Yi nodded solemnly.

He didn't feel dissatisfied at all because of the coarse tea and light food in front of him, on the contrary, he admired the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him more and more, and he thought that this was the person who could take on the responsibility.

Of course, Zhao Yu's words praising him also made Xun Yi very useful.

On the occasion of the meal, Xun Yi first explained to Liu Bi and Li Xu the reason for the trip.

After learning that Li Junshou pardoned Zhou Hu for his past crimes and appointed Zhou Hu as the lieutenant of Kunyang County, Li Xu was very happy and immediately said: "Lord County Shou is wise! ”

Li Xu sincerely supported Li Junshou's decision this time, after all, as the county governor of Kunyang, he certainly understood Zhou Hu's merits so far.

He has great respect for Zhou Hu, and the only thing he was worried about before was the reputation of the 'thief' on Zhou Hu's head - not that he still had any concerns about the 'black tiger thief', the key was the 'reputation', Zhou Hu, who was born as a thief, was above the government, even in extraordinary times, his name was not correct and his words were not good.

And now, Zhou Hu has been awarded the title of Kunyang County Lieutenant, and he has also been included in the 'Kunyang County Ya' system, and then Zhou Hu has full authority to command the war in Kunyang, which is justified.

Different from Li Xu's opinion, Liu Bi felt quite awkward about this, after all, the county government was the auxiliary official of the county order, in other words, he was now the boss of the leader of the black tiger thief next to him......

Of course, just a moment of thought, Liu Bi decisively threw this idea behind him.

After praising Li Junshou, Liu Bi and Li Xu turned to Xun Yi to ask about the current situation in the county.

At this time, the smile on Xun Yi's face gradually retracted.

"Not very optimistic." 77 eBooks

Taking a sip of wine, Xun Yi frowned and said: "Xiang Xuan, a rebel general who was sent to Xuchang, was brave and strategic, and Captain Cao led his army to fight against him three times, but he was defeated miserably. A while ago, Xiang Xuan got the help of tens of thousands of Jiangxia rebels and besieged Xuchang, making Xuchang precarious......"

"Tens of thousands of Jiangxia rebels? Is it Chen Miao's Jiangxia rebels?'

Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly.

On the side, Liu Bi and Li Xu listened to Xun Yi's specific account of the defeat in Xuchang County, and looked at each other.

Just like Wang Yong, the commander of Xiangcheng County, Liu Bi and Li Xu were also worried about the reinforcements that could be sent in Yingchuan County, but they didn't expect that the current situation of Xuchang City was not much better than that of Kunyang.

Liu Bi asked with an ugly expression: "So, the county can't send reinforcements?" ”

Xun Yi nodded silently and sighed: "Unless the imperial court sends reinforcements first......"

Liu Bi and Li Xu looked at each other.

Due to the unfavorable situation of the battle, except for Zhao Yu, the other three people ate a very bad meal that night.

After a simple meal, Zhao Yu instructed the guard He Shun to arrange a place for Xun Yi to rest, and immediately, he sent someone to summon Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chen Cai, Ma Hong, and Zhang Feng to prepare to hold an 'internal meeting' in the county government.

It is worth mentioning that after weighing it, Zhao Yu called Ju Sheng, after all, although Ju Sheng is a general, he is also the commander of the second battalion of his Black Tiger Village Brigade, Zhao Yu is also ready to make a fuss about Ju Sheng's previous identity, so he naturally wants to win him over and let Ju Sheng integrate into their small group as soon as possible.

After a short time, Chen Mo and others came to the county government one after another.

Seeing that there were only Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng and He Shun in the yatang, and there were no Ma Gai, Sun Xiu, Wu Zhi and others, Wang Qing immediately realized something, and said with a smile: "Hey, are they all their own people?" Looks like this is our internal meeting. ”

Hearing this, Chen Cai, Ma Hong, Zhang Feng and others all laughed, among which Chen Cai smiled the most.

It's no wonder that as soon as he saw the people present, Chen Cai knew that this was a meeting at the level of 'Daibenme', as Guo Da's former subordinate, he was able to participate in a meeting of this level, which shows that he had reached the level of 'Daibenme'.

"Isn't it called Margai?"

After finding a seat and sitting down casually, Wang Qingkou asked Zhao Yu without hindrance.

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes under the mask, and everyone in the room was also quite speechless to Wang Qing.

It is undeniable that Ma Gai, as the earliest member of the Black Tiger Village who was 'forced to join' the Black Tiger Village, is still one of the veterans of the Black Tiger Village today, and he is also at the level of 'Da Benmu', but the problem is that Ma Gai's identity on the face is the lieutenant of Kunyang County after all, how can he participate in the internal meeting of the Black Tiger Village in a grand manner?

"Watch me do what?"

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Wang Qing said a little unhappily.

Of course, he knew that Ma Gai's identity needed to be concealed, but the question was, now that the entire Kunyang was in the hands of their black tiger thief, did he still need to cover it up?

I have to say that this guy is not stupid, but arrogant.

At this time, Ju Sheng stepped into the yatang.

Just like Wang Qing and the others, as soon as Ju Sheng walked into the yatang and saw everyone in the house, he was keenly aware that this might be an internal meeting of the Black Tiger Thief, such as his current 'boss', Sun Xiu, a partial general of the Nanyang Army, who was not invited here.

After realizing this, Ju Sheng couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, especially when everyone in the room turned their heads to look at him.

After all, he also understands that the people in this room at this moment are the real masters of Kunyang County in a certain sense.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu saw Ju Sheng's helplessness, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Ju Sheng, find a place to sit down, here are all your own people." ”

"Yes."

Ju Sheng hugged his fists and sat down at the end of the group with great interest, after all, he belonged to the 'newcomer' in this group.

Since you are a newcomer, you have to follow the rules.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Yu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Please come this time, I have good news to announce...... Li Min, the county guard of Yingchuan, was finally willing to issue a letter of pardon, pardoning some of the past actions of my Black Tigers, and appointing me as the lieutenant of Kunyang County, with full authority to command the war on the Kunyang side. ”

As soon as he heard this, everyone in the room was in an uproar, except for Ju Sheng, who didn't know what was going on, his face was full of doubts.

"Congratulations to the Great Chief!"

Chen Cai took the lead in getting up and hugged his fists to congratulate, and immediately, Ma Hong, Zhang Feng, including Chen Mo, also smiled and got up to congratulate.

They all understood what the letter of pardon meant.
