Chapter 193: Xu Shu sighed at Guan Ping
Xu Shu was originally from Yingchuan, he was a ranger when he was a teenager, and he was rampant in the countryside with a sword, and then finally self-denial, abandoned martial arts and literature, and went south to Jingzhou with his old mother, which was not only a refuge, but also a visit to a famous teacher.
During the period of living in Jingzhou, Xu Shu married his wife and gave birth to children.
Xu's wife is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Xiangyang, with a rich dowry, and Xu Shu relies on the supply of his wife and family to be able to study. After Xu Shu returned home, he discussed with his wife, immediately took his family and family members to dock in the north of Fangling by boat, and then went south to Fangling, and after two days of mountain road, he finally arrived on the small plain where Fangling County is located.
At the moment, it is dry and summery. The advantage is that the mountain road is dry and easy to walk. If it's raining, it's not easy to go. Although Guan Ping once sent people to repair the road, the road in the Han Dynasty, even if it was repaired, would be like this, and it would not become a cement road.
I'm afraid of light rain.
The downside is the heat.
After Xu Shu's team reached the flat land, the people and horses were thirsty, and Xu Shu saw a village not far away, so he ordered the people and horses to go to the village to rest for a while.
"It's a peaceful village." Xu Shu sighed.
On both sides of the road, there are fertile fields, villagers wear hats and work in the fields, and their houses are scattered everywhere, leisurely.
This is tranquility.
You must know that if there is war today, the villages in many places are like military camps, with the outer walls and the inside scattered, and the archers are often patrolled.
But the village in front of me is idle in the fields, only tranquility, not slaughter.
Not seeing the big picture.
That Fangling is too guarded by Guan Ping, and sure enough, Fangling is governed very well, and within the state, there is no military revolution, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, at least he is a good official.
Xu Shu's team has dozens of people, as well as large carts and heavy donkeys and horses, and the movement is not small. Not long after, a resolute man led several men out and asked, "I'm the chief Ding Xue, dare to ask the intention of the distinguished guest?" ”
Xu Shu got out of the chariot, wearing a wide robe, wearing a Liu crown, with a graceful demeanor and a sword at his waist. Xu Shu bowed and saluted: "On the way, I was thirsty, and when I saw Guili's house from afar, I came to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”
"Well said." Ding Xue showed a refreshing smile, invited Xu Shu and others to come to his house, and ordered the accompanying man to fetch water for Xu Shu to drink.
Ding Xue was hospitable, and also invited Xu Shu to sit in the courtyard, and asked his wife to serve side dishes and rice wine to entertain Xu Shu. Xu Shu was disrespectful and had a drink with Ding Xue.
Ding Xue was hospitable and refreshing, and when he was drinking, he asked Xu Shu: "Mr. Ting's accent seems to be from the Central Plains, why did he come to our Fangling?" ”
Although Xu Shu has lived in Xiangyang for many years, his accent is still biased towards the Central Plains. Ding Xue had some insight and heard it.
"Ding Li is very knowledgeable, I am originally from Yingchuan, and I live in Xiangyang. My friend worked under Guan Fangling and invited me to come to Fangling County for an errand. Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Sir will have a bright future." Ding Xue glanced at Xu Shu in surprise when he heard this, and then smiled sincerely.
"How so?" Xu Shu was a little surprised.
"My family is benevolent and virtuous, the officials and the people are attached, and the generals have no two hearts. Compared with Liu Biao, it is like a cloud and mud, and it will surely soar. If my husband can work under the command of my family, wouldn't he have a bright future? Ding Xue said with a smile.
Xu Shu suddenly realized and said with a smile: "What the chief said is very true. ”
Xu Shu smiled heartily on his face, but he was still a little shocked in his heart.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and hearing is false.
When Xu Shu was in Xiangyang, he intersected with Zhuge Liang and others, and his connections were very broad, and he heard about the magic of Guan Ping from many channels.
When Liu Bei was still there, this general horn boy helped Liu Bei give advice, so that the little Xinye reached the point where the population was 200,000 and the armor was 20,000.
After Liu Bei fell ill and died, his father Guan Yu took the throne.
When everyone in the world thought that Guan Yu could not succeed to the throne smoothly, Guan Yu magically sat firmly in the position of General Zuo. At that time, many people speculated that someone helped Guan Yu with advice.
Because there were a large number of people who opposed Cao Cao between Jing and Chu, these people didn't want Cao Cao to be proud, so these people supported Liu Bei and most of them went back and forth to Xinye.
After Liu Bei's death, Guan Yu was able to sit firmly, and many people speculated that it was Jing Chu's talent who gave advice to Guan Yu. But Xu Shu knew that no one had come over to give Guan Yu advice.
Because Jing Chu has people with such talents, Xu Shu basically knows them. And Yin Guan, Ma Shot, these people, Yin Guan is talented, and Ma Shot is a doctor of learning, and it is impossible for these two people to help Guan Yu stabilize the situation.
In other words, there should be a mysterious person who helped Guan Yu stabilize the situation. But for this matter, Yin Guan and Ma Shot were very tight, and no news was revealed to the public.
Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang didn't know who helped Guan Yu give advice. Later, Guan Ping attacked Fangling, which was a clever move and greatly increased the situation of the Guan family.
Guan Ping not only attacked Fangling, appointed himself as a county guard and general, but also pacified the people, recruited soldiers, and attracted mountain people to come down the mountain.
Xu Shu guessed that the people who stabilized the situation with Guan Yu were Guan Ping's own son.
If it weren't for his own son, how could Guan Yu, who was so strong that he was stubborn and self-serving, be able to change his temper slightly?
But what Xu Shu heard in Xiangyang, after all, he heard about it, and the guess was even more speculation, and it wasn't until he arrived at Fangling that he knew that what he had heard was true.
He just came to the area of the core plain of Fangling, and came across a village and chatted at the house of the chief, but this Ding Xue was very respectful of Guan Ping.
He is known as "the king of my house".
It shows that Guan Ping has won the hearts of the people.
There is really Liu Bei's legacy, and he can win people's death.
Immediately, Xu Shu and Ding Xue began to chat, chatting from all over the world. Suddenly, the two talked about this year's weather.
"It hasn't rained since May. At present, the water level of the streams and rivers in Fangling has dropped a lot. Even though a reservoir has been built, I'm afraid there won't be enough water. I hope there will be more rain in the future, and there will be no drought. Ding Xue took a sip of wine, a little worried about this year's weather.
Although there is no drought yet, the signs are already emerging.
Ding Xue has been planting the land all his life, and he feels a little bad.
"Ding Lichang rest assured, it will rain in a few days." Xu Shu could only comfort.
In this era, there are indeed people who can watch the stars at night, and combined with a little daily life, they can judge whether it will rain or not. But Xu Shu obviously won't, it's just comforting.
Soon after, Xu Shu said goodbye and left. The entourage has already drunk water, and it is not far from Fangling County, so they can arrive in one go.
In the evening, Xu Shu led his family to the outside of Fangling County.
"Since Liu Bei, the people of the Xinye lineage are good at building cities." Xu Shu looked up at Fangling City, faced Xiongcheng, and let out a sigh of emotion.
He has also been to Xinye, and it is really a majestic city, a big city. Unexpectedly, after Guan Ping came to Fangling, in this deep mountain, he also built such a strong city.
Repair maniac.
Before Xu Shu came to Fangling this time, he wrote a letter to Yizhi, but he did not say when he would return, and he did not send someone to Fangling to inform him before.
So I didn't know that Xu Shu had come. After Xu Shu entered the city, according to the address provided by Yi in the letter, he arrived outside Yi Ji's mansion, and Yi Ji was shocked to find that his good friend Xu Shu actually came.
Yi Jiben was eating, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks to greet Xu Shu, and complained first, complaining about why Xu Shu didn't send someone to inform him first, so that he could go out of the city to greet him.
Xu Shu smiled and apologized.
In fact, Xu Shu did this on purpose, Yi is the main bookkeeper, the county official, and has a lot of affairs. Although he would be happy if his good friend went out of town to greet him, there was no need to delay his work because of this.
Yi has already arranged a residence for Xu Shu, which is a two-entry mansion, not far from the Yi mansion. Yi first arranged for Xu Shu's family to move in, and then invited Xu Shu to come to his home for a drink.
In the pavilion in the backyard, Xu Shu and Yi share a desk, and there are drinks and dishes on the desk.
Tonight, the moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are brilliant.
Inside the gazebo is a secret incense stick to ward off mosquitoes. Yi Ji poured wine for Xu Shu and asked, "Yuan Zhi, why didn't Kong Ming come?" ”
"Kong Ming's thoughts can't be reached." Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are good friends, and even said that the relationship between the two is better than that between Zhuge Liang, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao.
This can be seen from Meng Jian, Shi Tao returning to the north, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang staying in Jingzhou.
Xu Shu naturally knew that Zhuge Liang favored the Han family, and until the Guan family had a big plan, I am afraid that he was not the one who revived the Han family, but in the whole world, there was no one surnamed Liu who was worthy of assistance.
So Zhuge Liang was a little depressed.
But Xu Shu knew that his good friend would figure it out, and the world needed to be unified and needed the talents of good friends.
In addition, in the past, he studied hard every day and studied knowledge. Spring, summer and autumn cantilever beams and thorn stocks, light a brazier in winter to bake a fire and read a book, learn a skill, how can you bury yourself in the loess?
In this life, I must come to the world to walk once, and there will be a shocking ghost and god.
Yi Ji and Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others met later, but they also vaguely knew what Zhuge Liang was referring to, so he sighed and stopped talking.
"Since Yuan Zhi is here, I will enlighten Taishou tomorrow and introduce Yuan Zhi. It's just that although Yuan Zhi is talented, but now that the county officials are ready, Yuan Zhi may only be a guest at first, and the entourage will talk about it. ”
Yi Yuan picked up the wine glass and handed it to Xu Shudao.
Xu Shu thanked him, took a sip of his wine glass, and then said, "I'm new here, and it's good to be a guest and talk about it." After a long time, I believe that I will be able to get the Taishou reuse. ”
Xu Shu is very confident.
"Okay." Yi Yuan laughed.
That night, Yi and Xu Shu did not sleep with their respective wives, but with good friends. The next morning, after breakfast, Yi went to the county guard's mansion, and instead of going to work in his own office, he came to find Guan Ping.
Unfortunately, Guan Ping was a little tired last night and got up late today. However, when he heard that Yi was looking for him, Guan Ping hurriedly got up and washed up, and went to the study to see Yi Yi.
After the two sides met, Guan Ping came to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "What is it that makes Mr. so in such a hurry?" ”
"Something very important." The Iraqi nationality is serious and right.
Guan Ping was surprised at this time, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Cao Jun is going south?" ”
