Chapter 165: The Real Boss of Xuzhou

Guo Jia didn't think about escaping.

Unfortunately, no.

I don't know why this Tao Gongzi attaches so much importance to himself, not only does he send individuals to monitor carefully day and night, but he takes the initiative to come over and stick to himself whenever he has free time in the daytime, and he chats with him, chatting all over the world, making it seem like a friend who has known each other for many years and has nothing to talk about.

Guo was kidnapped by you, okay! Why do you act like a buddy?

The most sick was the Taishan sergeant named You Donkey.

This kid seems to have been beaten with chicken blood, he doesn't sleep all day long, and lurks near Guo Jia like a ghost with a broken crossbow, but whenever Guo Jia moves a little, he doesn't know where there is a sound of pulling the string on the crossbow, which makes Guo Jia upset, but he is helpless against the bedbug sticking nearby.

"Big brother, what do you think of the scenery over there? I have outstanding people from the six counties in Xuzhou, and the scenery is no worse than your Yingchuan County, right? Make a home in this place, I will feed you, I will provide you with shelter, I will be closer to you than my own brothers, what do you think of my proposal? The potter smiled and planned for Guo Jia's future.

Guo Jia looked at the potter with a blank face, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

When he was young, Fang listened to him: "Remind you, Xuzhou only has five counties, and your father forcibly occupied Peiguo in Yuzhou, and it has also become a county in Xuzhou, but it shouldn't be counted...... Also, when did Guo become your eldest brother? ”

"You and I are both Yuan Gongyi's sons, according to generation, of course you are my brother-in-law."

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and took out the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and poured it with a sip, wiped his mouth, and said lazily: "Tao Gongzi, Guo Mou, everything else is fine, but there is a problem, stubborn!" Yuan Shao IV, the third duke, the lord of the princes, is a hero enough, right? But Guo doesn't look down on him, and he doesn't want to serve him even if he dies, don't you understand this? ”

The pottery merchant smiled, not angry, and said: "Brother Yi can really raise his own value, I think you are not satisfied with the official position that Yuan Shao gave you, don't say that you are so noble, you are all all the way, who of us doesn't know who?" ”

Guo Jia turned his head and "hummed" and said: "Guo has adhered to Confucianism since he was a child, is not afraid of ferocity, and vows to live and die with the word morality, and he is not a fellow traveler with you." ”

The potter shook his head and said, "Pull it down, if you really swear to live and die with morality, from the first day I kidnapped you and went to Xuzhou, you should find a stone and knock it to death, instead of messing with me here...... Big brother, Tao will not be mistaken, I believe that it will not be long before you will find that we are the perfect partner. ”

Guo Jiayang sighed and said sadly: "Guo is finished, you are beautiful." ”

Just when the potter and Guo Jia were choking by the river, they saw Mi Fang leading a young official who seemed to be less than thirty years old to the back of the potter.

"The eldest prince, the county commander of Dongyang County, I heard that our soldiers and horses are stationed here, and we specially prepared fine wine and fruits, and came here to reward the three armies."

The potter turned his head in surprise, looked at the white-looking young man beside Mi Fang, and said strangely: "Dongyang County doesn't seem to be very close to here, why did the county magistrate of Dongyang County come to reward the army?" ”

Mi Fang didn't know the situation either, so she immediately gave up a position.

I saw the young county magistrate step forward and said to the potter: "Chen Deng, the county magistrate of Dongyang County, has seen the eldest son. ”

As soon as he heard the name, the potter's eyes lit up.

In the hearts of the potters, if it comes to the people in Xuzhou, who is the first person who is talented and has both civil and military skills, the potters feel that it is not his father Tao Qian, nor Mi Zhu, Cao Bao, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang and other four masters, not Mi Fang, who has followed him for a year, nor Zang Ba, who is arbitrary and established a country within a country in Xuzhou, but the young man in front of him - Chen Deng.

When he had just returned from the crossing, he set out quickly because of the urgency of the matter, so he didn't have time to inquire about this person.

He turned out to be a county magistrate in Dongyang County.

The reason why the potter thinks that Chen Deng is the number one person in Xuzhou is that what this person has done is too rebellious and jaw-dropping.

In the eyes of the potters, although the main forces in Xuzhou at present are the four major families of Mi, Cao, Wang and Zhao, Chen Deng and his father Chen Qi can definitely be called two hidden dragons.

Because in history, any prince who entered the territory of Xuzhou felt that he was following the script set by the Chen family father and son.

Historically, after Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou was given to Liu Bei, and many people thought that Liu Bei had picked up Tao Qian's big bargain, but it was not like that.

The leader of Xuzhou is Tao Qian, but the composition of Xuzhou's political system is the leader of the gate lords of the scholar clan, even if Tao Qian recognized Liu Bei to inherit Xuzhou before his death, but without the consent of the gate lords, Liu Bei's ass will sink again, and sooner or later he will fall from this position.

However, at this time, it was Chen Deng who stood up to relieve Liu Bei.

He not only persuaded the scholars and doctors from top to bottom of Xuzhou to agree, but also wrote to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to stand up and support Liu Bei's inheritance of Xuzhou.

Of course, as a result, Yuan Shao didn't know what shortcomings Chen Deng had taken hold, and he really stood up and openly supported Liu Bei to inherit the position of Xuzhou Mu.

And it is precisely because of Yuan Shao's full support that Liu Bei was able to control the land of Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death.

The pottery merchant didn't know Chen Deng's family very well, but he felt that compared with the four major families that now embraced Tao Qian, the Xiapi Chen family must have their own unclear status in the rivers and lakes and the scholar group, so they were able to convince the Xuzhou scholars and make Yuan Shao wholeheartedly support Liu Bei's ascension!

And then Lu Bu, after entering Xuzhou, was played with by Chen's father and son as a thing in the palm of his hand, some people think that the person who killed Lu Bu is Cao Cao, but the potter feels that the person who really wanted Lu Bu's life is not Cao Cao, let alone Liu Bei, but the Chen Yuanlong in front of him...... Scheming is all sorted, probably such a person.

And Chen Deng is not just a civil servant, his military strength is also very strong.

After LΓΌ Bu's death, Cao Cao appointed Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling, and after four years of Jian'an, Sun Ce integrated Jiangdong soldiers and horses, with Sun Quan as the main general, and took the initiative to attack Kuangqi City in Guangling County.

Jiangdong's troops were ten times that of Chen Deng, but he was abused into a dog by Chen Deng, and he didn't have any temper at all, so he obediently rolled back to Soochow.

Such a civil and military figure, who has both strategy and the ability to command troops, and the huge power of the low-key family behind him makes Yuan Shao willing to use it for his head......

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a character has the power of ghosts and gods.

But right now, he is just a county magistrate of Dongyang County.

"The county is hard to come from afar, Dongyang County is a hundred miles away from here, Chen County ordered to run so far to reward the army, it really makes Tao embarrassed, it's too hard."

Chen Deng smiled and said respectfully: "What did the eldest son say, the prince planned for the world, led the troops west into Sili, and went north to Sanhe, what he did made the world look sideways, and how could it be a thousand miles after a year of fierce battles?" Even if the lower official really traveled a hundred miles to reward the army, compared with the hard work of the son, it is also far from the hard work, and the son's words are really tormenting the lower official. ”

Hearing this, Tao Shang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Chen Xianzun, although Tao is the son of the assassin, he is just a white body, and the prince is the county magistrate of the parent who raised filial piety and honesty as the imperial court, how can he claim to be a subordinate official in front of Tao?" It is not in line with the ceremony. ”

When Chen Deng heard this, he seemed to be quite surprised, and said, "Isn't the eldest prince still not aware of the appointment of the imperial court?" ”

The potter looked at Chen Deng in confusion and said curiously: "What appointment is the seal?" ”

Chen Deng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to the potter, but after thinking about it, he shook his head with a smile and changed his tone.

"After the eldest son returns to Pengcheng, the envoy will reveal it to the son, but there is no need for Chen to rap here."

Seeing that Chen Deng looked respectful and humble to him, the potter thought that he had rushed here from a hundred miles away to pick him up, and he didn't feel a little puzzled.

With the style, means and reputation of this "No. 1 boss in Xuzhou", he must not do anything that is not beneficial.

Chen Deng chatted with the potters for a few more words, and then reasoned that he would go to check how the county officials who came with him were doing, and retired first, and then discussed in detail with the potters when the banquet was held later.

The potter looked at the backs of Chen Deng and Mi Fang who had disappeared in a hurry, and lowered his head in contemplation.

saw Guo Jia smile and said, "Is this person Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong?" Sure enough, there were two hits, quite a success. ”

"You know him?" The potter turned his head to look at Guo Jiadao in astonishment.

"How is that possible?" Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly: "If Guo knows him, wouldn't he say hello to him?" Besides, I am a Yingchuan Yangzhai person, and I am a Xiapi person, where did I get any friendship. ”

"Then how did you know about him?" The potter looked at Guo Jiadao puzzled.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay to answer your question, but you need to be paid a piece of lintoe gold." ”

"What's that?"

The potter was stunned when he heard this.

Looking at Guo Jia's white palms and prodigal smile, the potter snorted heavily: "You are the first person who dares to take the initiative to ask me for money in person and can live past three figures, you should be glad for your own life." ”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders casually, and said: "Guo is not your staff, but he was kidnapped by you, and Guo Mou pondered carefully, and you were arrested left and right, and there are people around him all the time who can't run, so you can simply come and be safe, but a kid like you is not qualified to let Guo serve, in a word, every time you ask a question in the future, you will ask for a piece of lintoe gold, so that Guo Mou's heart is also happy." ”

The potter whispered, "Then what if I don't agree?" ”

"If you don't agree, you won't agree, Guo doesn't come up with a plan, just make a plan."

The potter touched his chin and thought about it carefully, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter.

After a while, I saw him nod and said, "It's okay, you can tell me first, Chen Deng is the magistrate of Dongyang County, and he is a hundred miles away from here, what is the purpose of his here?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I'm going to make friends with you." ”

The potter was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why did he befriend me?" ”

Guo Jia hugged his hands and swished, "This is the second problem for you." ”

The potter's face sank, and he reached out from his waist and took out the small short crossbow he carried with him, and pulled the string with a "stab".

Guo Jia looked at the short crossbow in the potter's hand, and unconsciously, subconsciously reached out and touched the bun on his head, looking palpitating.

After that, he saw the prodigal son and smiled: "It's okay, it's all one thing after all, and it's okay to count it as a problem...... We are all Yuan Shao's godsons, who is with whom. ”

Speaking of this, I saw Guo Jia said mysteriously: "Do you know why Guo knows about Chen Deng?" ”

The potter shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Because of his family background, of course."
