Chapter 128: Concubines
Looking at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him and a third-rate martial artist, Yuan Shu asked tentatively, "You are Yu Wenze?" ”
Yu Ban knelt on one knee, although he was a little curious about why Yuan Shu put himself in his eyes, and deliberately spent a lot of money to find him, but he still said respectfully: "General, the last general is Yu Ban Yu Wenze." ”
Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Xu Chu, who was standing on his right side with a large waist and a strong body, and then turned his head and continued to carefully look at the goods in the audience. I felt like I had been fooled.
It also cost a lot of money, how can there be such a big gap in the number of people recruited!
The bright light blue aura told Yuan Shu that although the qualifications of the audience were relatively good, he could only be regarded as a third-rate general at best, and it would be difficult for him to lead an army alone in his life, let alone become one of the five good generals under Cao Cao in history.
Yuan Shu is very confident in Cao Heizi's eyesight, not to mention that Yu Ban can be named one of the five good generals, it is impossible to have enough ability and combat achievements. But after Yuan Shu happily recruited this goods, he found that the abilities and qualifications of this goods were really average.
Could it be that I have found the wrong person? Or did Bao Xin bring himself a tanuki for the prince? Yuan Shu muttered in his heart.
However, the information provided by Guo Jia clearly stated that what he was looking for was this product, and the name and words were correct.
Yuan Shu could only sigh lightly in his heart: No matter what, even if he is out of sight, it is not too much of a loss, it is just some grain and grass. But if this product is really good in the heart and accumulates steadily, then you will make a lot of money.
What's more, although this product has average qualifications and abilities, it has a stable personality, and it is indeed barely a talent.
This kind of qualification can also mix up a world and leave a name in his poor memory, Yuan Shu feels that although Yu Ban is not the kind of talent with extraordinary qualifications, it is possible that he has grown up after a lot of battles and continuous self-breakthroughs.
"Ahem." Realizing that he was a little distracted again, Yuan Shu coughed lightly twice and said: "Wen Ze, I learned from the intelligence that you are a manufacturable material, so I specially asked you to come over from General Bao, and I hope you don't let me down." ”
Yu Ban thought back to his past for a while, and didn't understand where Yuan Shu saw that he was a manufacturable material, but he still hurriedly said with a solemn face: "I will do my best when I make up my mind, and I will definitely not disappoint the general's hopes." ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction: "When you first came to a certain command, I will first arrange for you to go to Jiangxia to serve as a lieutenant under Zhang Liao, leading 5,000 troops!" ”
Yu Ban was very shocked when he heard Yuan Shu's words, and then after reacting, he hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to the lord, Wen Zeding should do his best to repay the lord's kindness." ”
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Okay, you go to Ji Ling to lead the troops to Jiangxia!" ”
"The last will retire!"
Watching Ji Ling leave slowly, Guo Jia said curiously: "Lord, I have read the information of this person, although the combat level is acceptable and he is stable, it seems that it is not enough to serve as a captain!" Not to mention Jiangxia. ”
Yuan Shu looked at Yu Ban who was leaving, and couldn't help but think of his son with average qualifications: "You can't judge a person's future based on his qualifications alone!" I feel that although this person has average talents, he has great luck and may be able to take charge of himself in the future. Jiangxia's place is just right to be mixed with fish and dragons, and it depends on him whether it is a dragon or a worm. ”
Guo Jia listened to Yuan Shu's words thoughtfully: "The lord is thinking about the eldest prince!" ”
Regarding Yuan Yao, the lord and concubine, the advisors and generals under Yuan Shu have always been very concerned, but for fear of arousing Yuan Shu's disgust, no one dares to say more. Among the crowd, Ji Ling, Guo Jia and Tian Feng occasionally dared to raise this issue with Yuan Shu.
"How's Yao'er doing?"
As soon as he thought of this sister-in-law, Yuan Shu felt a little guilty and distressed. Although he has crossed over, he has fused the memories of his predecessor, and basically belongs to you and me who are indistinguishable from his predecessor, and this son has always been his own heart.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord, the eldest prince has recently followed Sun Ce in Lujiang to often engage in some small-scale battles with several families in Xuzhou, and his growth rate is very good!" ”
Yuan Shu nodded: "That's good, let Wentai pay more attention, don't let those old foxes in Xuzhou calculate." ”
The troubled times have begun, and Yuan Shu's methods of recruiting the population are not as gentle as before. Sun Jian and Wei Yan, who often guarded Jiujiang and Lujiang, sent small forces to Xuzhou to fight the autumn wind and grab some population.
Similarly, Zhang Liao, who changed from guarding Yuzhang to guarding Jiangxia after taking Jingzhou, was also arranged by Yuan Shu to often go to Yuzhou to fight the autumn wind.
Anyway, the princes who control Xuzhou and Yuzhou, Tao Qian and Kong Ling, are both cowardly and incompetent lords, and their lives are short.
With Yuan Shu's current strength, as long as they don't do too much, they don't dare to react too much. There are just some ant people on the left and right, and there is no need to fight to the death with Yuan Shu. After all, in this troubled era, the most important thing they see is population.
That is, the local wealthy families often get angry, and each organizes a group of troops to engage in skirmishes with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was also happy to do this, so he regarded it as a military training, and occasionally he was afraid that this group of people would not be able to fight, so he pretended to be defeated and threw them some money and food.
Sun Jian and the others have a good grasp of the scale, otherwise Tao Qian and Kong Ling would not have turned a blind eye so much, even if it was a disguised ruin to avoid disaster. This situation has the feeling of bribery of Qin by the six countries back then.
Guo Jia hesitated: "But my lord, isn't it a little inappropriate to keep throwing the eldest prince on the front line like this?" Even if our relationship with the family is acceptable, Tao Qian's old man has a cowardly personality, but if someone knows the identity of the eldest prince, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack the eldest prince and provoke war! ”
Yuan Shu shook his head: "Fengxiao, I didn't know that Yao'er would be in danger if she was exposed to the outside like this. But as my Yuan Shu's son, this is his fate! ”
"Even if I protect him for the rest of my life, with his qualifications, I'm afraid that the whole person will be abolished. Rather than this, it is better to give him a stage in this relatively stable situation and let him fight. It is his own choice to go through life and death to be reborn. ”
"What's more, with Wentai's care, Gongjin's command, and Ce'er's care, nothing should happen to Yao'er."
Although Yuan Shu looked relaxed, he was actually more worried than Guo Jia in his heart, but he still endured it.
Guo Jia nodded lightly, and then asked cautiously with some hesitation: "Lord, do you still have the idea of taking a concubine?" You are already in the age of establishment, but there is only one heir, the eldest son, is this a little inappropriate? ”
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Guo Jia meaningfully: "Fengxiao, I'm afraid someone wants you to ask me!" ”
"Say it! And who wants to take a concubine for me? ”
Guo Jia coughed lightly with a little weakness: "My lord, the Lu family in Jiangdong has a daughter named Lu Ying, and the Cai family in Jingzhou also has a daughter named Cai Yi. ”
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "It seems that the families in Jingzhou and Yangzhou are very active!" Have they been making trouble again recently over the issue of fiefdoms? ”
