Chapter 45: A Sense of Crisis (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation~)
If Zhang You didn't have Lu Bu standing behind him, the gentry in the county didn't need to show him a look, and it was even possible to assassinate him halfway. And as the eldest son of the sheep family in Houqiu County, he didn't need to stand in front of Zhang You at this moment.
The situation will be completely reversed, even if it is the county magistrate?
It's a pity that there is no if, he is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and he can overwhelm all the gentry in Houqiu County without dragging his feet.
You can't resist, and the price of resistance is death.
That's the potential.
What's even worse is that he still holds the damn righteousness in his hands.
"You're not leaving?"
Although he has a different view of the sheep in front of him, after all, the matter has not settled, and his arrogant personality must be maintained. This will allow him to achieve his goals more quickly.
After experiencing the humiliation of being thrown out by Zhang You before, Yang Man obviously matured a lot, and arched his hand: "I seek a way to survive for the Yang family." ”
"He's a man who understands." Zhang You said in his heart.
Since he chose to be honest with each other, there was no one around him except Xu Shu, Zhang You returned to his old appearance, stretched out two fingers, and said, "Two conditions." ”
"Please."
"First, hand over all the young men who have concealed the report for me to suppress the bandits, and of course, the missing tax grain must also be made up."
Yang Man frowned, but finally gritted his teeth: "Yes." ”
As the son of the sheep family, he has the right to make this decision.
Zhang You nodded and continued to stretch out his second finger: "Second, I think you are good, be my staff." ”
Although this sheep is full of people, although it is not recorded in history, Zhang You can still feel his goodness, so he cherishes his talents.
There are many conditions for shaping heroes, regardless of their own conditions, there is still a truth to the saying that the times create heroes, maybe this is not so lucky, and he has not been able to meet the current situation that can make him famous for eternity. But there's no denying that he has the potential to be a hero.
The waves sweep the sand, and there will always be some people who are between gold and sand, buried by the times.
Of course, he didn't mean to ask, but decided to take it first.
As for loyalty, it's not something that can be said in a single sentence to make people die.
Yang Man obviously didn't expect Zhang You's second condition to be himself.
He wanted to refuse, but suddenly found that he did not give himself the right to choose.
Yang Man was very hurt, others were recruited, or took the initiative to take refuge, all of them were the master and slave who cherished each other. No matter how bad it is, the bridge of being a confidant of each other is always incomparable, and when it comes to itself, it becomes a naked threat.
He asked with a little grief and indignation: "County Magistrate Zhang is so oppressive, isn't he afraid of being betrayed at a critical moment?" ”
Zhang You's eyes froze: "It's good for a person to die as a confidant, but how many confidants can a person have in his life?" Most of the rest is just an exchange of interests, I can give you enough benefits, and the price of your betrayal is something you can't afford, this is loyalty. ”
Since coming to Houqiu County, Zhang You's whole person has become a little impetuous, and all his actions seem to be to take shortcuts, and they seem to have left a lot of hidden dangers, and now he has said such things.
That's true, but there are some words, even if they're not wrong, that shouldn't be said so straightforwardly.
Zhang You's confession made Yang full of shock, but even so, he still replied: "I still need to think about it." ”
"Three days, after three days, I want to see you at the yamen, go."
"Retire from your duties."
When the sheep man completely retreated, Xu Shu opened his mouth to persuade: "Lord, why are you so anxious. ”
He saw Zhang You's impatience, and the original plan discussed by the two was to order it first and then look at the situation.
One by one, although the time may drag on a little, but it is better to be stable.
And today, Zhang You actually chose another simple and rough path.
Zhang You replied: "You acted like this, not all to retaliate for their previous unreasonable actions. It's just that recently, there is always a bad premonition in my heart, as if something big will happen, so I am a little more anxious. ”
With Lu Bu's banner, in Xuzhou, except for Guangling County, where Chen Deng is located, there are no difficult copies in other places.
This is true even in Houqiu County. With the double blessing of Lu Bu and Xu Shu, if you choose to plan slowly, it won't be long before it will be completely in the hands of Zhang You.
And he chose the most simple and rude way, which is also the most troublesome.
This made Xu Shu a little puzzling, in his opinion, after defeating Cao Cao, Lu Bu could at least get a stable development period of several years, and there was no need to be impatient at all.
Zhang You didn't understand where his hunch came from, but he still chose to believe in himself.
Xu Shu saw that Zhang You knew what he knew, but he didn't say more, although there were some hidden dangers left this time, it was not impossible to make up for it. Overall, it can be regarded as a quick knife to cut through the mess, and as for the follow-up, it is enough to sort it out slowly.
"Now that people are not bad, the food should be able to be used for a long time, I don't know about military supplies, does the lord have a plan?"
Xu Shu refers to weapons and equipment. After all, if you want to fight, you can't always go to war with your bare hands, and the most basic equipment must still be able to satisfy.
"In a few days, the food of these gentry will arrive, find Mizhu in exchange for some military supplies, and the rest will be fed by war."
With the memory of later generations, Zhang You knew that in Jizhou, there are 50% of the minerals in the entire Chinese territory, and once they are successfully mined, they only need to establish a few large workshops, and their own equipment will be continuously produced.
But at the moment, it is obvious that there is no such opportunity, and he has chosen the most straightforward way to buy --- as always.
When Xu Shu also exited the room, Zhang You began to think seriously.
During this time, according to the original history, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the little overlord Sun Ce were more active.
Although he has changed history to a certain extent, on the whole, it has had a greater impact on Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and it stands to reason that no other forces will be greatly affected.
Cao Cao should be actively preparing for war at the moment, but now he has not been able to defeat Lu Bu, and history has deviated, but he has no spare strength to attack Lu Bu again.
In addition to attacking Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao seems to have only one thing left to fight with Cao Cao.
The little overlord of Eastern Wu will not be able to jump for long, and once he dies, the civil strife will continue for a while.
As for Liu Bei, maybe he will return to his old job now.
It seems that all foreign enemies did not have the kung fu to attack Lu Bu in Xuzhou.
"It seems that we still have to build an intelligence organization." Zhang You muttered secretly in his heart: "Otherwise, it's not a way to guess all the time." ”
