The inner prison gate fled from the ground in a panic, and the onlookers in the inner gate scattered one after another, and after a while, Sima Lang, who was already fourteen years old, came in a hurry.

Gongsun Xun didn't get off the horse, so he sneered directly on the horse: "You kid haven't seen you for a few years, how can you grow so tall?" Not at all like your father! ”

Sima Lang's face turned red, but he raised his head and said: "General Wei's words are wrong, two years ago, I was twelve years old, and I was already tall, and when I was elected as a boy boy, the people of Luozhong Taixue thought I was an impostor. Actually, people in our clan have always been tall......"

"I see." Gongsun Xun suddenly realized. "It's because your father doesn't look like your people!"

Sima Dalang's tears of being bullied were about to fall.

"Let's not talk about it." Gongsun Xun probably also felt that it was inappropriate to bully children, so he gently let the other party go. "I only ask you, as the chief guard of this county, why can't I even enter the inner gate under my rule? I have long heard that the Sima clan is the crown clan of Wen County, but I don't want to be so strong and lawless, even the county monarch has to turn it away...... Tell me, how many times have your Sima clan bullied your neighbors and resisted the court officials on weekdays, otherwise why would you be so domineering? ”

"Linzi is a famous father, and he is already ......" The topic turned back, Sima Lang was covered with this kind of big hat head-on, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red as he spoke, especially when he heard the movement, and when he turned around and saw a middle-aged man in cloth clothes who was late, he cried directly.

"I've seen General Wei." The middle-aged man in cloth was about forty years old, but he smiled at him, and then bowed. "I've seen all the generals' virtuous people, children and people in the clan are all Dong Shi Xiaofeng, why should General Wei tease them? They can't help but be scared. ”

Gongsun Xun saw that although this person was dressed very plainly, judging from his well-groomed beard, clean clothes, and etiquette that was neither humble nor arrogant, he seemed to be a well-established person, so he immediately led the crowd to dismount, smiled and faced the other party:

"Sir is polite, Sima Jiangong and I had a life-and-death friendship when we killed Wang Fu and fought against Cao Jie that day." Gongsun Xun said with a laugh. "And my concubine Feng is also a matchmaker made by Sima Jiangong, and now my sons are three years old...... With such a relationship, no joke will be overdone. ”

Rao is people are a little mentally prepared to ask themselves, and they are also dizzy by these two sentences...... Could it be that his clan brother Sima Fang really did such a heinous thing with this person? As far as Sima Fang is concerned, it's not like it! But the dignified general is convincing, and there is no reason not to believe it?

No matter what, although this person was puzzled in his heart, his face was still calm, so he quickly bowed his head and said that it was so. And Gongsun Xun saw that someone who could be the master came out, so he also threw down Sima Lang and carefully asked about the origin of this person.

It turned out that this person was called Sima Zhi, the word uncle was different, although he was a member of the Sima clan, but he had already had a relationship with Sima Fang's family. According to their township, because Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang and other people live in the west of this place, the township has always called this branch Xisima; Sima Zhi and other ethnic groups are called Eastern Sima because they have always lived on the eastern side of the Caspian region.

Of course, after all, the ancestors of the two clans are one family, and they also live together for a mile, so the relationship is naturally very close, and it doesn't hurt to say that they are one family, and there is no need to ask anything in the end.

In addition, this Sima Zhi himself is also a figure with a saying. In his early years, he had raised filial piety, served as a county magistrate, and served as a councilor, but when he was about to transfer to 2,000 stones, his mother died suddenly, so he simply returned to his hometown to serve filial piety, and he was the same as Yuan Shao for six years, and even his father, who died early, took filial piety with him. This year is just out of the mourning period, and it happened to encounter the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so I didn't go out.

Gongsun Xun and the other party exchanged a little greeting in front of the inner door, and after asking about the situation, they naturally showed more respect...... In all fairness, with Sima Zhi's background, qualifications, and Qingwang who has been raised for six years, I am afraid that he may receive an edict at any time and become the ruler of the two thousand stones, so he must naturally be respected as necessary.

Not to mention, after this contact, this Sima is straightforward and kind, with a simple style, and he should be a pragmatic and serious Gaodeshi person, rather than a vain person.

"General Wei came to the township as the county monarch, and he should indeed be entertained, but unfortunately my brother (Sima Fang) is in Jingzhao's tenure, and the younger generation has not yet tied his hair...... Why don't you go to my house for a while, although there is no alcohol, there is also a clean hot soup to avoid the cold. After some politeness, Sima Zhi took the lead and served as the host for the Sima family here.

Gongsun Xun naturally had nothing to say, he came here to take advantage of Sima Fang's absence, and then use the 'friendship' of the two to coax a few people who understand the Sima family to give him a thorough ...... Now that there is Sima Zhi, a more easy-going and high-level person in person, how can he not want to?

"It's just that the family is small and simple, and the general has so many retinues, I'm afraid it's too much to entertain." Just about to leave, this Uncle Sima said helplessly. "Why don't you go with my nephew to his house and settle down."

"It's okay, just let my elder Shi Lu Ziheng and Sima Han Yigong go with me to Mr. Shuyi's house, and the rest of us have their own places to go." Gongsun Xun didn't care at all.

In this way, Sima Zhi led the way in front, Gongsun Xun went with Lu Fan and Han Dang, but the rest of the people rushed into this one surnamed Sima...... Some people are really tired, so they naturally follow Sima Lang, who is in strong spirits, to his house to drink soup and rest; Some ignored the cold wind and cold in winter, and scurried around; There are also people who are addicted to officials, so they simply called the lieutenant chief, the village husband, and the pavilion chief who rushed to hear the news, and asked about the local information.

Not to mention the rest of the people, Gongsun Xun, Lu Fan, and Han Dang followed Sima Zhi to the latter's house, but they couldn't help but look at each other...... It turned out that this Sima Zhi claimed that his family was small and simple before, and everyone thought he was resigning, worried that the sergeant would come too much and trample on things such as courtyards and vegetable gardens, after all, this person had made a county order, and he was born in a family, and the house had its own regulations, how could it be called small?

However, after I really came to him, I found that this Sima Zhi's house was really simple, and the house in the courtyard was already crowded with young children and teenagers, the former holding enlightenment things such as "The Book of Filial Piety" and other enlightenment things there to read aloud, and the latter had already held the "Book of Songs" and "Analects" and the like to study there.

There is not much to settle down.

In this situation, it is no wonder that Sima Lang saw Sima Zhi as if he had seen his own father before.

Of course, jokes aside, whether it is Gongsun Xun, Lu Fan, or Han Dang, they are in awe.

In fact, as the hot soup with ginger slices was served, in his words, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the first old couch, respected this person a little bit:

"I have just arrived, I am in charge of your county, my uncle and brother are the pillars of talent, and they are the elders of the township's fame, and now Sima Jiangong is far away in Jingzhao, how to administer, please teach me!"

Sima Zhi, that is, Uncle Sima was different, he didn't make any excuses when he heard this, he directly put down the soup bowl and agreed: "It's about Xiangzi, General Wei is confused, I naturally have to answer all questions." ”

Gongsun Xun felt more and more pleasing to the other party's eyes, so he immediately asked: "May I ask my uncle, the war is peaceful, which thing should take over Hanoi at this time?" ”

"If someone else asks." Sima Zhishu on the opposite side said with a smile. "I must say that it is a bandit, but for General Wei, this matter does not need me to put his beak in mind."

Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan and Han Dang behind him all laughed, but they didn't have any humble words.

"Mr. Shuyi is very right." After laughing, Lu Fan proudly took advantage of the situation to speak for his lord. "Not to mention that the Hanoi knights who have just returned to their hometowns and disbanded have been listening to orders under my family's eunuch for a long time, and they can use the dispatch at any time to clear the township if needed, so these five hundred righteous servants can maintain law and order in Hanoi...... Moreover, when I came, my family had other arrangements, and now the newly appointed Chao Song Ling Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is the most useful brave general under my family's monarch waiting; There is also a guide to the son of the scriptures, who are light and loyal, and are now the magistrate of Bo County by my family...... The two are one east and one west, and the hinterland of Hanoi is categorically worry-free. ”

Sima Zhiyan was even more emotional when he heard this, and he also praised it again and again.

After some politeness, Gongsun Xun put down the ginger soup and simply asked: "What about the chaos, what do you think the uncle should take first?" ”

"I thought it should be the case that the civil society should come first." Hearing the other party's question again, Sima Zhi also looked pale.

And Gongsun Xun on the other side also tightened his heart when he heard these two words: "Please ask Sima Gong for advice." ”

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has spread to the sea, and Hanoi is not immune. However, because Ma Yuanyi, the commander of the canal here, was directly arrested, and the remnants of Ma Yuanyi were also destroyed by the general here in a hurry, so they did not fall to the point of ten rooms and five empty rooms in Jizhou. "Sima spoke straightforwardly, as if he had already had a draft, as if he had thought about this matter carefully." But according to my observations, there are always ten empty rooms and two empty rooms. ”

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head.

"Moreover, Hanoi is different from other places, it has suffered a certain amount of war, and it also happens to be next to Jizhou, where the chaos is the worst, so in addition to one or two percent of the people fleeing here, there are also many people who have come from Jizhou to take refuge." Sima Zhi finally said a core crux here. In other words, the situation today is that there are locals who have abandoned their land at the beginning of the war and become displaced people elsewhere; On the one hand, during the war, there were displaced people from other places who came here and had nothing to rely on...... Of course, in all fairness, this is not necessarily a bad thing at this time. And how to deal with it, with the prestige of the general, I think it can be done at will, and there will naturally be arrangements before spring plowing next year, so I will not go into more details. ”

Gongsun Xun sighed for a long time...... He didn't know where Sima Zhi's words hit the nail on the head.

It can only be said that fortunately, it was not for him to go to the most serious places in Jizhou, where there were ten rooms and five empty, and this kind of abandonment and the scale of the new influx of displaced people was very large, that is, if you want the powerful families to collect the displaced people, they are afraid that they will be forced to use knives.

Of course, as Sima Zhi said, after all, Hanoi is directly subordinate to Si Li, and there is not much war and turmoil, and this kind of one-tenth of the loss of household registration and the influx of displaced people, his Gongsun Xun is still very sure that he can easily deal with it.

But then again, this Sima Zhi is indeed a rare political figure, in a word. It's just a pity that the family has reached the level of two thousand stones of concealment, and it is not something he can recruit.

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head and said again: "What my uncle said is all to the point, banditry, homelessness, and land...... Naturally, I would have started doing it right away. It's just an uncle and a brother, and it is necessary to use people to do things, although I have some talents around me, but the land of Hanoi, the dignified eighteen counties, but these people around me are also stretched! What's more, the war has spread, and I heard that when Zhang Jiao was powerful before, many county officials abandoned their posts to avoid trouble, and now the county is vacant...... You've lived in the local area for a long time, so you know a lot about local talent, right? ”

Uncle Sima smiled slightly, but he did not shy away from it: "It is common sense that a new chief must use local talents when he arrives in a new place, not to mention that it is also their luck to be able to follow a character like a general...... How can I hide my secrets? ”

Gongsun Xun really likes each other more and more.

"Hmm...... There were three first, three brothers, and these three people may not have been recruited, but the general had to take them anyway, and they must go to the expedition with great fanfare and earnestly. Sima Zhi thought for a moment, and then said calmly. Please also ask the general to be prepared"

Before Gongsun Xun could react, Lu Fan next to him had already woken up: "Mr. Shuyi is saying that Hanoi has a top family under the rule of Naisi?" I don't know which one it is, it's actually higher than the Sima family? ”

Gongsun Xun also suddenly looked at Sima Zhi again...... He was also a little curious about this.

"Although my Sima clan has been inherited in Hanoi for a long time, and there is also a brother in the west who is the ancestor of the western expedition, and he is considered to be the crown family in the county, but what is it in Hanoi?" Sima Zhi said bluntly. "Doesn't the general know that after leaving Marquis Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, he has been cultivating martial arts in Hanoi for hundreds of years, and he has been a hairpin for generations, and he has never lost the glory of his ancestors for half a generation?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lu Fan and Han Dang, but he really had nothing to say...... Feelings Zhang Liang's descendants are in Hanoi?

This face really has to be given!

"Zhang's current head of the family is the servant Zhang Yan Zhang Gongwei, which naturally goes without saying, his eldest son Zhang Fan, second son Zhang Cheng (the same name as the Eastern Wu), and the third son Zhang Zhao (the same name as the Eastern Wu)...... They're still young, and they're not used yet. Sima Zhi continued to sigh. In any case, the general should have sent someone to conquer the three brothers. It's just that I just said, but these three people may not be recruited, one is a family background, and the other is the eldest brother of the three, Zhang Fan Zhang Gongyi, who has a quiet personality and has the style of a Taoist hermit. ”

Gongsun Xun became more and more speechless...... This Zhang Zhao just didn't mention the same name, if this Zhang Fan really had such a posture, he really had no way to do it, so he could only pinch his nose and make a symbolic play with this person.

"I'm going to do my best to get it anyway." At this point in the year, Gongsun Xun couldn't help urging. "What else? What about the Zhang brothers? ”

Sima Zhi smiled slightly when he heard this, but instead asked a topic that seemed to be unrelated: "General, you were blocked by the inner gate prison in front of the door before, and you were admonished by my nephew...... And I said they did their best, do you know what's going on? ”

Gongsun Xun thought about it for a while, and then suddenly woke up: "Could it be that they all learn from others?" I thought that the eldest man of Sima Jian's family was a serious and square child, but he was just pretending to be like this? ”

Sima Zhi shook his head with a smile even more when he heard this.

"Don't talk about it," Gongsun Xun quickly shook his head. "And who is this really serious person?"

"This person is a native of my Wen County, his surname is Lin, the word Bohuai, his home is actually not far from here, the general might as well go and see it." At this point, Sima paused for a moment, and then said with a straight face. "Among the younger generation, whether they are moral or talented, they are the top in our county, and the general wants to employ people, in fact, the first thing I think of is him."

Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, but immediately took out a piece of paper from a bag in his waist, but took out a handful of charcoal chips that had been broken. Seeing this, Han Dang immediately got up, actually picked it from the charcoal basin on the ground, and then took out a piece of fine charcoal of better quality and handed it over.

In the end, this General Wei actually leaned over on the couch and roughly wrote down the name of this Chang Lin.

In this year, there were already small bags made of leather and brocade, which were probably equivalent to wallets or handbags in later generations, but this operation still made Sima stunned.

"What else?" Gongsun Xun held the fine charcoal in one hand and the paper in the other, and couldn't help but raise his head to ask. "Although the uncle and brother are simple, they might as well be more transparent, so that the more talents, the better."

Sima Zhi suddenly smiled bitterly: "Is the general going to take all the talents of the entire Hanoi into his pocket?" ”

"Can't you?" Gongsun Xun was straightforward, but he added the names of the three brothers Zhang Fan, and then still urged. "Uncle and brother come quickly."

"There is a person whose surname is Han Mingxuan, and his words are like secluded, and he can be consulted by the government."

Gongsun Xun wrote while his heart moved slightly, but he immediately realized that this should not be the same name...... Moreover, now he also knows in his heart that he can sit firmly in the troubled times, how can it be a waste? It's just that I don't know where Wei Yan and Huang Zhong are now.

"There are two others, both in this county. One of them, called Yang Jun, is a student of Chen Liu's famous scholar Bian Rang, and he is also a child of a famous family in this county; The other person's surname is Wang Mingxiang, and the word Xibo ...... His family is very poor, he can only make a living by shepherding sheep, secretly studying was found by his master and hammered in public, but he was discovered by Yang Jun, and then ransomed for him, and married a wife for him to start a family. Don't hide it from the general, although these two people are young, they are all well-educated people, and the general may wish to use them for writing. ”

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head, and then his subordinates kept ...... After all, Bian Rang's students are not too bad at writing in any way, and this kind of shepherd and stealing slave makes people believe in his talent.

"There are three other people in the county, but they are famous for their martial arts...... The general didn't know, that day, you led light cavalry from Zhuo County to our Hanoi, before Ma Yuanyi's remnants were in chaos in the army, and the county was peaceful for a long time, and it was impossible to resist for a while, only two people gathered out to protect the township. One person is called Han Hao, one person is called Fang Yue, and another person is called Hao Meng. Sima Zhi continued.

Gongsun Xun became more and more depressed, after all, he actually knew two of these three directly, but he didn't expect Hao Meng to be not from Bingzhou but from Hanoi.

However, after writing the names of the three people, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but raise his head and ask more: "Why don't you comment on one or two of your uncles?" Which of these three is better or worse? ”

"Where do the people who use martial arts need me to comment?" Sima Zhi immediately smiled and shook his head. "The general is a famous general in the sea!"

"Martial affairs are also literary affairs," Gongsun Xun disagreed. "To be a general, of course, we must talk about courage and perseverance, but we must also talk about personal virtue...... Uncle and brother only said which one you value the most. ”

"I think Han Hao is quite ethical, not just a brave man, maybe he can be of great use."

This name was unexpected, because he happened to be the one Gongsun Xun had never heard of, that is, a character that Gongsun Auntie had never mentioned...... However, now Gongsun Xun, who has a certain trust in Sima Zhi's personal qualities and vision, still gently draws a line with black charcoal under the name of Han Hao.

"What else?" Gongsun Xun then asked again.

"The generals are going to hollow me out." Sima Zhi was also helpless. "Although I have been in the county, I have not left home for six years because of my filial piety, and there are not many people in the county who know about it, and these are already extreme......"

"Why should my uncle be too humble, even if he says it."

Sima Zhi was forced to have no choice but to try his best to continue: "In fact, there is another person, who is my student, who has just been crowned, and the general may as well use it as a county official and exercise it, this is a little selfish......"

"Uncle and brother, just say the name."

"This person is called Zhao Shi, the word Junchu, and he can be regarded as a famous family in the same county...... In fact, in our county, there are only four families of Sima, Chang, Yang, and Zhao, but the general doesn't have to hire him, I will let someone call him later. ”

Gongsun Xun smiled and shook his head: "What else?" ”

"It's gone!" Sima Zhi said helplessly.

"Mr. Shuyi also said just now that in your county, the three families of Sima, Chang, Yang, and Zhao are the crown family." Next to him, Lu Fan couldn't help but make his intentions clear for his father-in-law. "Why do Chang Lin, Yang Jun, and Zhao Shi all have them, but there are no characters with the surname Sima?"

Sima Zhi suddenly realized, but he raised his hand and pointed to the west: "In this case, my nephew is already fourteen years old, and he can tie his hair during the New Year, I will be in charge, how about letting him tie his hair today, and then becoming an official from a general?" ”

Gongsun Xun laughed proudly...... The children of the clan are tied up as county officials, as long as they are not the kind of small officials who do not enter the stream, and generally do not delay their serious background, which is also a common political tradition. But in any case, it was a surprise to have Sima Lang as a follower.

Even Lu Fan also nodded with satisfaction, after all, from his point of view, he may not know the special meaning of the surname Sima in the heart of his own lord, but Sima Lang is the head of the Sima family's main lineage, and it is enough to express the sincerity of the Sima clan to be the concierge with his own lord.

So, everyone was overjoyed, and Gongsun Xun threw away the charcoal in his hand, which was only the size of a finger, and carefully looked at the list in his hand, including:

Zhang Fan, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Zhao;

Chang Lin, Han Xuan;

Yang Jun, Wang Xiang;

Han Hao, Fang Yue, Hao Meng;

Zhao Shi, Sima Lang.

A total of 12 people!

According to Sima Zhi, there are not only literary scholars, but also political figures, people who can be minions, famous families who can raise their worth, and young people like Zhao Shi and Sima Lang who are just useful.

Moreover, there are several characters among them, which can be mirrored with the stories of Aunt Gongsun, which shows that this list is by no means false.

Especially Chang Lin, who Sima Zhi particularly admired, was actually before Han Xuan, and Han Hao, before Fang Yue and Hao Meng, Gongsun Xun was especially looking forward to it.

—————I'm looking forward to the dividing line—————

"Xun is a flat yellow scarf, and Weide is outstanding, and it is added to the four seas. Worship the general, lead the Hanoi guard, the people heard it, and they were encouraged. He crossed the river to Wen County, saw the famous man Sima Zhi, took Hanoi's talent and virtue, and said it on the couch, and Taizu took paper notes from his pocket. The ink is exhausted, but the charcoal book is taken from the furnace. Seeing it, he sighed and said: 'The general is high and powerful, and he is still thirsty for talent, so why is it not fair to take all the Hanoi soldiers in his bag today?' 'It is to rise and worship, and show the heroes of Hanoi in the chest. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
