Yuan Shu took advantage of the rest of the day to go to the General's Mansion to meet He Jin, and told He Jin that Guo Peng had returned to Luoyang to visit relatives, and He Jin could invite Guo Peng to come to the mansion to talk.

"Guo Zifeng is a famous man in the Central Plains, he has a great reputation in Yuzhou, Luoyang, and has the ability to command troops, so the general should take this opportunity to get close to Guo Zifeng."

He Jin was right when he heard it.

He was born as a butcher, and this identity was not pleasing to the scholars, so he desperately recruited scholars to be his staff to improve his reputation.

But even so, there are many scholars who don't buy his account, how can he summon him, those high-ranking scholars ignore him, which makes He Jin very distressed.

During the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, He Jin was a general, Guo Peng was just a small deputy general, and He Jin didn't pay attention to him.

When Guo Peng fought vigorously in the north and became the Taishou of Shanggu, He Jin felt that he had missed the best opportunity to envelop Guo Peng.

Now that he was able to establish a relationship with Guo Peng, who was born in the Yingchuan clan, through the recommendation of Yuan Shu, He Jin felt that it was also very good, and he needed the support of the wise men of the Quartet now.

So He Jin took the initiative to send someone to invite Guo Peng to come to the house to talk, showing his attitude and etiquette.

Guo Peng didn't expect He Jin to take the initiative to invite, so he straightened his clothes and went to the General's Mansion in the car sent by the General's Mansion.

Fame is really metaphysical.

Invisible and intangible, ethereal, but when it is to be used, it embodies its irreplaceable special attributes, and it can ignore age to a considerable extent.

Xun Yu became Wang Zuozhicai when he was very young, and no one said that he was not suitable, right?

Cao Cao was evaluated as a hero in troubled times at the age of nineteen, and no one said that he was not suitable, right?

As long as everyone thinks so, you are and you are not.

Unless you get away with it.

So Guo Peng went to meet the general He Jin as a celebrity.

When he came to the gate of the General's Mansion, he was greeted by his own subordinate officials under the command of the General.

"The general has been waiting for Guo Jun for a long time, Guo Jun, please."

Guo Peng thanked him, and then followed this person to meet He Jin, and had some conversations on the way, and learned that this person's name was Chen Lin, and his name was Kong Zhang, and he was serving as the chief secretary of the General's Mansion at this time.

Guo Peng instantly remembered that the person who scolded Cao Cao's headache was Chen Lin.

On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Chen Lin scolded Cao Cao as worthless in a letter begging for thieves, and vigorously exposed Cao Cao's old background, not only that, but also spread rumors and desperately slandered Cao Cao.

It's just that his articles are still full of flowers, gorgeous rhetoric, and flying literary brilliance, Cao Cao has no way to take him, and everyone under his command can write Chen Lin in the article.

Later, after defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was reluctant to kill Chen Lin, kept Chen Lin for his own use, and wrote articles to praise himself.

Chen Lin didn't have any discipline, just a royal literati, he took this appointment and honestly wrote articles to praise Cao Cao.

It's still so full of flowers and brilliant literature.

He doesn't have any great talent, but he is a little smart, and he has a little knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't be the master of the General's Mansion.

For example, when Yuan Shao had bad intentions and asked He Jin to recruit foreign soldiers from all over the world to enter Beijing to force Empress He to kill the eunuchs, the two people who desperately persuaded He Jin not to do so were Cao Cao and Chen Lin.

But Chen Lin's discipline is ......

However, this person's talent is too good, so that the superior is reluctant to kill him.

Think about it, if Guo Peng was in Cao Cao's position, he would not be willing to kill such an obedient royal literati.

Then, Guo Peng met the general He Jin.

Many people understand He Jin's background as a butcher who kills pigs, but in fact, it is not, it will be a long time before pork becomes popular in the private market.

He Jin's family is a sheep killer, a big landlord, and a big hero.

At this time, the meat was not affordable for the common people, but for the wealthy and the nobles.

He Jin's family made a fortune by slaughtering sheep, and when it came to He Jin's generation, it was naturally impossible to kill sheep himself, he had a good living environment since he was a child, and he studied and learned words since he was a child, and his cultural level was not bad.

So when Guo Peng saw He Jin, he felt that He Jin was still very good-looking, with a strong body, good facial features, and a prestige.

"Xiaguan Guo Peng, meet the general."

Guo Peng used the etiquette of a lower official to meet a higher official to meet He Jin.

He Jinsan stepped forward to support Guo Peng in two steps, and said with a smile: "Why is Zifeng so outside?" You used to be my subordinate, and together you pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and you made great contributions, which I still remember vividly! ”

He Jin invited Guo Peng to the table with a smile and asked someone to serve some water, wine and fruits.

"That's all the generals in command, I can only let go of a battle when I am under my command, without the general in the middle, this battle, I'm afraid it will not be a complete victory."

He Jin was a little comfortable, and felt that Guo Peng's words were good.

really wanted to give all the credit to He Jin, but He Jin felt that he didn't have so much credit and was uncomfortable.

Keep one point, and highlight the credit of He Jin in the center of the overall planning of grain and grass, he is more comfortable, and Guo Peng is more pleasing to the eye.

Before Guo Peng came, He Jin inquired about Guo Peng's past from Yuan Shu, and knew that Guo Peng had been ostracized by the scholars because of marrying the daughter of the Cao family as his wife, and his life was very difficult for a while.

Later, because he became a disciple of Lu Zhi, his reputation began to rise, and he has today's achievements.

Therefore, Guo Peng should also be able to understand some of the unhappiness he experienced because of his low background.

In fact, it is true that Guo Peng can really understand He Jin's feelings, so he especially treats He Jin with a relatively low attitude.

Sure enough, such a gesture made He Jin very happy, and felt that Guo Peng did not forget his roots and respected others, which was a good behavior habit.

So He Jin said a lot of praise to Guo Peng, and Guo Peng also returned a lot of praise words, after three rounds of drinking, everything that should be said was said, and the time was almost up, Guo Peng pretended to be too strong to drink, and took the initiative to leave.

He Jin did not stay, and personally sent Guo Peng out of the mansion.

Then, Chen Lin came to He Jin's side and said softly, "How does Ming Gong feel about this person?" ”

"It's very comfortable to talk to him, there is not a trace of unpleasantness to me, even the resignation is just right, I don't need to speak, if there is such a person to help, there is no doubt that I will save a lot of trouble."

He Jin said with a smile: "Guo Zifeng is also a person who has suffered and suffered from white eyes, he understands me and understands my feelings, so I will be so comfortable, like a spring breeze." ”

"That being the case, why didn't the Duke of Ming keep this person to serve in the capital or the surrounding areas and serve as the wings of the Duke of Ming? This person has not been summoned by the government or state or county, and is not a protégé of others. ”

Chen Lin looked at He Jin.

"Don't worry, there is always a chance, do the right thing at the right time, the best results, now is not the right time, Northern Xinjiang needs Guo Peng more than me."

He Jin smiled, shook his head, and turned to leave.

Chen Lin didn't understand He Jin's thoughts, so he simply didn't want to.

Guo Peng is a child of the scholar clan, and his relationship with Yuan Shu is good, how can he not enter the body?
