Qin Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to say more flattery, I don't know how to govern the people, I came here to discuss with you this time." ”

"Qin waits."

Gu Yong got up, walked to the back of the case and walked out with a stack of bamboo slips, "Here is the position of the officials in our county, Qin Hou can see it." ”

"Don't look at it,"

Qin Fan stared at Gu Yong and said: "Right now, the Han Dynasty has already been in chaos, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the princes from all over the country have supported their own troops, and the Han family has existed in name only." I don't know what Yuan Si thinks I should do to keep my side safe? ”

Gu Yong looked at Qin Fan blankly, and then sighed: "Qin Hou is high-minded. The troubled times have come, and there are only two ways for us to keep peace. ”

Qin Fan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"First, in the troubled times, a clear Lord votes for it; Second, Qin Hou can recruit troops and horses under the banner of a concubine, and wait and see what happens. ”

This Gu Yuansigh does have two brushes, Qin Fan sighed secretly in his heart, and the more important thing is that this person doesn't play with you.

This made Qin Fan very satisfied.

People take me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity, this is Qin Fan's code of conduct.

"I'm just a county now, and I don't have a deep background, so it's a bit of a joke to say that I'm competing for hegemony in the world. But I don't want to take refuge with anyone, Yuan sigh, how do you think I should deal with myself? ”

Gu Yong frowned, stroked his beard and said: "Lujiang County will be the land of four wars in the future, with Liu Biao in the west, Yuan Shu in the north, Sun Ce in the east, and Liu Xun in the south. If Qin Hou didn't have the idea of dominating the world, this would not be a place to stay for a long time. ”

"Sun Ce?"

Qin Fan interrupted him, "Where is Sun Jian?" ”

Gu Yong sighed: "Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu by Liu Biao's troops, and his subordinates used Sun Ce to go to Wu County. ”

Qin Fan secretly thought in his heart, this Sun Ce and himself are now on the same starting line, why don't I have the idea of competing for hegemony, but always want to wait and see what happens, waiting for Sun Ce to make a decision?

patting his head, Qin Fan suddenly realized, in fact, there is only one reason for getting to the bottom of it, and that is preconceived.

He has always thought that the territory here belongs to the Sun family, and even has a faint psychology that even if he is not an official, he can be a big landlord under Sun Quan's rule and live his life.

Thinking about this, Qin Fan felt a chill down his spine, it was too dangerous to have this kind of thought in troubled times.

"It seems that if you want to protect yourself in troubled times, the only way to fight for hegemony is to go all the way."

Qin Fan glanced at Gu Yong, who was expressionless, and gritted his teeth, "Gu Yong, let me ask you, if I want to compete for hegemony, what are the odds?" ”

Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said, "Right now, the power of the princes is the strongest in the Yuan family. Hebei Yuan family, the fourth generation of the three dukes, many old officials, such as the Yuan family is good to operate, in the future, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, one of them will be able to win the world. ”

Qin Fan bowed slightly, Gu Yong's analysis was very correct. At the beginning of the battle, he could see through, and Gu Yong's gaze was self-evident.

Gu Yong's voice changed, "However, Yuan Shao is very timid and scheming; Doing big things and cherishing one's life, seeing small profits and forgetting one's life, this is not the master of achieving great things. ”

Qin Fan was shocked, and subconsciously asked, "What about Yuan Shu?" ”

Gu Yong said with emotion: "Yuan Shubing has a lot of land, but he is so ambitious. I will be burdened by myself from now on. ”

Qin Fan was shocked in his heart, he didn't know history in advance, he felt that Gu Yong was the real traverser.

"Except for these two, the current strength of the heroes of the world is about the same." Gu Yong smiled and glanced at Qin Fan: "If Qin Hou wants to compete for hegemony, he has three major advantages. ”

"What are the four major advantages?"

"First, compared with other states and counties, Lujiang County is still relatively wealthy, and there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses."

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in one county, which Qin Fan did not expect.

"Second, Qin Hou killed the national thief Dong Zhuo, if he uses this as a name, he only ascends to the top and shouts, and the heroes of the world will respond."

"Third, it is Qin Hou's identity as a concubine, we can make friends with Liu Biao and expand to the southwest."

"And what about the fourth point?" Qin Fan hurriedly asked.

"As for this fourth point," Gu Yong paused for a moment before he said: "I look at Yangzhou, except for Yuan Shu, Sun's strategy is in danger. But Sun Jian is newly dead, and although Sun Ce has an old department, he can only shrink to Wu County for the time being. ”

"Neither power nor fame can be compared with Qin Hou."

Gu Yong looked at Qin Fan and said with a smile: "I persuaded Qin Hou to fight for hegemony, because I valued these four points. In addition to Er Yuan, Yuan Si felt that Qin Hou had the most hope of winning the world. ”

After listening to Gu Yong's analysis, Qin Fan couldn't help but laugh, but judging from the current situation, what Gu Yong said was actually not wrong.

Liu Bei doesn't have a territory yet, Cao Cao only has a little, and Sun Ce is only a county.

Thinking of this, Qin Fan got up abruptly and said, "Even if we can't compete for the world, we are based on Jiangdong, but self-protection is more than enough, sir, why?" ”

Gu Yong nodded approvingly.

Qin Fan said again: "Since we have decided to participate in this flood, we have to take care of this Lujiang River first, and Gu Yong will obey the order." ”

"Humble duty."

Gu Yong hurriedly got up and bowed.

"From today onwards, I will make you the prime minister of the country, and the position of the same as the Taishou."

Gu Yong was dumbfounded, he thought that at most he would be a county magistrate and be in charge of the governance of people's livelihood, but he didn't expect that this order would be directly at the same level as Qin Fan. ”

"Qin Hou, this Xiangguo is a princely subordinate official........"

"I know that when I give you this right, I believe in you."

Qin Fan helped him up and said, "Gong Cai said that you are a prime minister, and you are just a county too guarded, I don't think Yuan Si will let me down?" ”

"Teacher, he ...... Ay. ”

Gu Yuan sighed and bowed deeply: "Gu Yongding did his best to serve the Lord. ”

......

Walking out of Gu Yong's house, Qin Fan's brain still had a somewhat cloudy feeling.

In an instant, he was actually an ordinary person, and he really wanted to fight for hegemony. This kind of change is hard for even him to believe.

Xu Chu was also retained and appointed as a lieutenant. The soldiers and horses of Lujiang County are all in his hands.

However, Xu Chu's brain is sometimes not good, so Qin Fan asked Gu Yong to be on the same level as him, so that he could order Xu Chu.

In the small Lujiang County, there is Gu Yong in the text, and Xu Chu in the martial arts. He was relieved.

......

Anhui County, Qiaofu.

When Qin Fan and Wang Yue arrived, there were several guards guarding outside.

Qin Fan and Wang Yue admonished each other and hurriedly walked to the mansion.

It was getting dark at this time, and when he entered the front door, he was about to go inside, when he heard a sound of footsteps.

Then a beautiful shadow appeared in front of him.

"Little Joe."

Seeing the person coming clearly, Qin Fan greeted him, took a few steps forward, and hugged the beautiful woman who stood still.

"Qin Fan, woo, why did you come back."

Xiao Qiao couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and sobbed in Qin Fan's arms.

Qin Fan suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Qiao, don't sigh, and hugged her tightly.
