Chapter 10 He Jin
I have to say that although Luoyang has just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which has made Luoyang slightly depressed, in the eyes of Yan Shao, Guan Hai and others, this is still a prosperous city. The majestic city wall of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info made Yan Shao couldn't help but marvel.
"Is this Luoyang?" Looking at the tall city wall and the endless flow of people under the city wall, Yan Shao couldn't help but sigh.
In the city where Yan Shao was born, this kind of monument is rare, and even if there is, it is almost demolished, and if you want to see it, you have to go to other cities, and it is usually a section, and there is no complete city wall like this.
Guan Hai and Sun Guan are not to mention, one is just a farmer, and the other is a ranger of Taishan, and the performance of the two is only a little worse than Yan Shao, after all, Yan Shao has also seen the 'world'.
As for Zhang Ning, although he seemed to be very silent along the way, after walking into the bustling street, his little eyes couldn't help but look around. A girl her age is at her most curious.
Seeing that Zhang Ning was very greedy for some snacks on the street, but still tried to hide it, Yan Shao smiled slightly and motioned for Sun Guan to go over and buy some back, Sun Guan naturally would not refuse, and soon walked up.
Handing over the bag to her, looking at the girl's blushing face and biting on the snack, Yan Shao smiled heartily with Sun Guan and the others.
But this time, after all, they are here to do business, not to go shopping in Luoyang. The group did not delay on the road, first found a place to live, and after settling everything down, they headed towards He Jin's mansion.
That's right, He Jin...
For Yan Shao, it is not advisable to move closer to the eunuchs.
After all, people in this era attach great importance to reputation, if Yan Shao's matter of currying favor with the ten permanent servants spreads, and then he wants to recruit those heroes, the difficulty must be increased by at least several grades, especially for those who cherish feathers.
Since eunuchs can't do it, then naturally the only ones who can be counted on are relatives...
As for relatives, no one can compare to He Jin, a general from a butcher...
The process of meeting He Jin was very simple, even to the point that it was beyond Yan Shao's imagination.
After handing over a post to the subordinates of He Jin's mansion, after only three days of waiting, Yan Shao was able to meet this famous butcher even in Chinese history.
Speaking of which, he and Zhang Fei are peers.
Naturally, the threshold of the general is still relatively difficult to enter, but with the letter from Huangfu Song, plus some benefits, it is not difficult to meet this general who was born as a butcher.
Although he is a butcher, but he can sit in the position of a general, He Jinzhi is not all because he has a beautiful sister, not to mention his own ability for the time being, but his appearance is very good, and he looks very dignified when he sits there. It's a pity that such a good-looking character is essentially a waste.
If it weren't for his bad idea, perhaps the Han Dynasty would have lasted for another two years.
"Say, what do you have to ask..."After briefly reading Huangfu Song's letter, He Jin put the letter next to him and said lightly.
"Shao crusaded against the Yellow Turban, made several military exploits, and now only seeks Jiangdong to be guarded..."
In troubled times, the heroes were divided, whether it was Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan of HB, or Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others in the Central Plains, it was not easy to deal with. If you compete there, everyone will be happy if you win, but if you lose, you are afraid that you will die without a place to bury.
When it comes to Jiangdong, such as Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and others, Yan Shao almost doesn't pay attention to it, although Yuan Shu has enough soldiers and food, but he is like dry bones in a mound. If he can get the post of Taishou in Jiangdong, Yan Shao is very confident in sweeping Jiangdong, as for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu? These two sons are still children today.
In addition, although Liu Biao has the name of Eight Horses, he is a man who defends the city, first commanding Jiangdong, fighting Jingzhou, and sitting on the two places, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is by no means delusional.
"Oh?" Looking down at Yan Shao, He Jin was a little surprised.
Even Yan Shao himself didn't know that despite the disparity in status, in fact, He Jin had heard of Yan Shao's name.
As a great general, no matter what He Jin's ability is, the battle reports from all over the country will be sent to him first. Whether it was the killing of Bu Ji in the Battle of Cangting, or the advice of Guangzong, Yan Shao's name left some impressions in He Jin's mind.
So for He Jin, Yan Shao is definitely not a dispensable little person, which is one of the reasons why he can see He Jin so easily, otherwise even if ordinary people want to send money to He Jin, I am afraid that there is no way.
It's just that...
"Koto Ichitaishou? Your appetite is not small..."He Jin shook his head as he said this. "But I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Originally, with Yan Shao's merits, it was not difficult to get a county guard, but Jiangdong was different.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion almost turned the entire Han Dynasty upside down, and all states and counties were also in chaos. However, in the dilapidated state and county of the vast majority of prefectures, there are also some places where the damage is not serious, including Jiangdong, Jingzhou and other places.
Of course, these places have become the hottest places for the eyes.
After all, for those incompetent officials, being a justice of the peace is the most important thing. In places like Qingzhou, where the yellow turbans are so noisy, few officials are willing to go.
But He Jin didn't intend to refuse, after all, the money sent by Yan Shao was not small, so he was a little distressed to refuse He Jin.
Just collect the money and don't do anything? Of course He Jin can do this, and Yan Shao can't do anything with him. But taking money to do things, this is a truth that even the gentry understand, if it can't be done, even if the money has been collected, it needs to be returned.
If you collect money but don't do anything, who will come to you in the future?
Even He Jin understands this truth, although the money offered by Yan Shao makes his eyes hot, he is not willing to ruin his 'reputation' for this, not to mention that there is still Huangfu Song's face in this...
As the most outstanding general today, even He Jin did not dare to despise Huangfu Song.
After looking down and pondering for a while, He Jin raised his head and said. "It just so happens that there is a vacancy in Qingzhou, since you want to be a Taishou, then go to be a Beihai Taishou..."
Hearing this result, Yan Shao was dumbfounded. "This..."
Just as he was about to argue, He Jin had already waved his sleeves, signaling that he could retreat.

Looking at Yan Shao's departing back, one of He Jin's staff members came over and was a little puzzled. "It's just a cavalry lieutenant, why should the general surrender himself to see him in person..."
"A mere cavalry lieutenant?" Hearing this, He Jin snorted lightly, and at this moment, his body showed a bit of the bearing that a general should have. "Don't underestimate this young man, do you know that in Cangting, it was this little cavalry captain who killed Bu Ji with his own hands, and even helped Huangfu Song defeat Zhang Liang in Guangzong, if it weren't for him, it would not be so easy for Huangfu Song to defeat Zhang Liang alone."
"What's more, Huangfu Song's letter has a lot of appreciation for this young man, that old guy is now the assassin of Jizhou, and even His Majesty values it very much, and now it's just a good sale for that old guy..."
Even if he was just a butcher, even if he had a sister who was like a flower, how could he sit in the position of a general and let heroes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao work for him?
After hearing He Jin's words, the staff bowed respectfully, but He Jin held the wine cup and chuckled.
"But like you said, it's just a little Rider after all..."
