"He actually thinks that Gongsun Chan will lose, what kind of joke!"

"Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are strong and strong, and he has been crisscrossing Youyan for many years, Yuan Shao is just defrauding Jizhou, how can he be the opponent of Gongsun Zhan's Youyan Iron Cavalry."

"That's it, I think he's afraid of picking up Brother Huang's teeth, so he deliberately said something amazing and grandstanding."

"Well, I think it's the same, what is the first talent of Jingxiang, the phoenix chick of the Pang family doesn't dare to say that he is the first talent of Jingxiang, and he is also worthy of being a poor man."

……

There was an uproar all around, and the mocking and contemptuous caustic evaluation pointed at Su Zhe again.

In the Wangjiang Pavilion, there was also an uproar.

Cai Mao glanced at Sima Hui and sneered: "Mr. Yan Decao is the world's Bole, the most discerning and knowledgeable, it seems that Mr. also has a time to look away, hehe." ”

Sima Hui slid a drop of sweat on his forehead, but he had to defend Su Zhe: "Su Zhe's speculation may not be unreasonable, although Gongsun Chan is strong, but since ancient times, there are not a few examples of the weak defeating the strong, and I don't think Yuan Shao will necessarily lose." ”

Cai Mao pursed the corners of his lips and said: "Mr. Shuijing, you have some strong words, throughout the ages, there are indeed many examples of the weak defeating the strong, but it also depends on whom, I think when Gongsun Zhan was frightened when the Saiwai Hu people who fought in Youzhou, Yuan Shao was still talking about the army on paper in his hometown in Runan, this time Gongsun Chan went south, it can be described as a rolling trend, how could Yuan Shao defeat the strong with the weak." ”

"This ......"

Sima Hui was speechless for a while, and his expression was a little empty, obviously in his heart, he was actually inclined to Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, Liu Biao, who had been silent, smiled faintly: "This Su Zhe likes to talk endlessly, but unfortunately in this world, most people who pretend to be different often have no real talent and real learning, and it is really difficult for this kind of light person to be reused by the official with confidence." ”

Liu Biao's words are tantamount to making a statement, and he has regarded Su Zhe as a "vain" and excluded him from the list he wants to recruit.

Sima Hui sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Su Zhe with a little pity in his eyes.

In front of the pavilion.

Huang Jie was taken aback at first, and then he no longer concealed the sarcastic expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Su, you are really amazing, you actually think that Yuan Shao is a loss, it really opened my eyes, dare to ask Brother Su where did he have the confidence to make such a speculation?" ”

"Anyway, Yuan Shao is a good person, don't explain." Su Zhe's tone was as decisive as iron, and he said: "And I can also tell you that the decisive battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao will take place at the boundary bridge. ”

"Boundary Bridge? Why is it a boundary bridge? ”

"I've said it, but I'm not going to explain."

Su Zhe had an expression of being too lazy to say more to him, flicked his sleeves, sat down again, and tasted the thin wine on the desk as if no one was around.

Huang Jie punched the air, looking embarrassed for a while, but he flicked his sleeves again, showing that Lai had to argue with Su Zhe again, and turned around and returned to his seat.

Just as he was about to sit down on his knees, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in his ears.

"Newspaper - Hebei Urgent News - "

A scout with a silk book sealed with Japanese wax in his hand, Pegasus galloped into the recruitment venue.

Liu Biao's eyes flashed, with an expression like a god, and he smiled at everyone on the left and right: "This must be the battle in Hebei has been seen, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Yuan Shao will be wiped out by Gongsun Zan in this battle." ”

He obviously also expected Yuan Shao to lose.

"Yuan Shao will not only lose his troops and generals, maybe Gongsun Zan will be defeated in a battle, and even Yuan Shao will be destroyed together." Cai Mao's smile is more optimistic than Liu Biao.

The surrounding Jingzhou high-ranking officials and celebrities also nodded their heads one after another.

"It's a pity, Ziming, why do you want to conclude that Yuan Shao will win, and you still speak amazingly in front of so many people, this time, I'm afraid that your reputation as the first genius in Jingxiang will really be ruined, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Sima Hui looked at Su Zhe, who was drinking a little wine in front of the pavilion, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, the meaning of regret was all written on his face.

Inside and outside the pavilion, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Zhe's body, and that look seemed to be impatient to see Su Zhe being ruthlessly slapped in the face by the cruel facts, and his face was disgraced.

The yellow shot that had already leaned down half of his body, the corners of his mouth hooked a sarcastic sneer in advance, and he had even thought about how to humiliate Su Zhe's words.

Even Su Xiaoxiao was anxious to stomp her feet secretly, for fear of seeing her son-in-law embarrassed by everyone's ridicule.

Only Su Zhe was still light and light, with an idle face, not caring about the result of the emergency report at all, and smashing the small wine in the cup in his mouth, he sighed and praised: "The fine wine brewed by the state government is more delicious than that of the wine shop, not bad, good wine, good wine!" ”

Under the gaze of everyone, the scout turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of the pavilion, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Yuzhou, the latest battle report sent by my Hebei Xizuo, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle at the boundary bridge a few days ago, Yuan Shao won a big victory, Gongsun Zhan's troops suffered heavy losses, and the elite White Horse Yicong under his command was also wiped out!" ”

Deathly silence.

Inside and outside the pavilion, up to Liu Biao, down to Huang Jie, everyone's eyes were wide open, their mouths shrunk into an exaggerated circle, and their expressions froze in a moment of shock.

In the next moment, the entire Wangjiang Pavilion was in an uproar, as if it had exploded.

"Yuan Shao actually defeated Gongsun Zhan, this is a miracle!"

"I didn't expect to be guessed right by this Su Ziming, he is really a god."

"Yes, who would have thought that not only did he predict that Gongsun Chan would lose, but he also predicted that the location of the decisive battle would be at the boundary bridge, which is like a god."

"It seems that Mr. Shui Jing said that he was the first talent in Jingxiang, and he named him Wolong, which does make some sense."

……

The focus of everyone's discussion once again gathered on Su Zhe, but it turned from sarcasm and contempt to deep amazement.

Huang Shot's legs trembled, and he wanted to sit on his knees, but he fell to the ground, and said to himself with a trembling mouth: "How is this possible?" How could Gongsun Zhan be defeated by Yuan Shao, and the whole army was wiped out from Bai Ma Yicong! How is this possible? ”

He raised his head suddenly, but what he saw was still Su Zhe's calm appearance, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all about this amazing result, as if everything was under his control.

That calm and indifferent attitude made Huang Jian feel more uncomfortable and even annoyed than straightforward ridicule.

Left and right, those talents who had marveled at Su Zhe's miraculous foresight, a pair of eyes, invariably turned to Huang Shot, looking at him like a man's back, cold sweat rolling on his forehead, really want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

At this time, Su Zhe had already looked at him, and said with a slight smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Huang, I guessed right, we can't look at the problem superficially, that would be too superficial, Brother Huang thought." ”

In the face of this child of the big clan who has repeatedly provoked him, although Su Zhe's words are secretly sarcastic, but they are restrained enough, Huang Zhe was very annoyed when he heard it, and secretly clenched his fists, if he didn't take into account the identity and etiquette, I am afraid that he would lose his mind, and jumped up on the spot and faced Su Zhe with his fists and feet.

And now, he can only swallow his anger.

Inside the kiosk.

"Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao! This Su Zhe actually guessed correctly? Liu Biao, who was shocked, let out an unbelievable sigh, and in a trance, he thought that his ears had heard it wrong.

His left and right, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Pang Ji and other high-ranking officials and celebrities, all of them were shocked faces.

They were not only shocked by the outcome of the war in Hebei, but also shocked by the magical insight of a young man named Su Zhe, who came from a poor family.

"I didn't expect Ziming to predict correctly, and even guessed the location of the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, which really makes me ashamed as a teacher......"

Sima Hui was also surprised, a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he smiled proudly to Liu Biao: "Lord Zhou Mu, what Hui said is right, this Su Ziming is worthy of being the first talent in my Jingxiang, and he is the world's Wolong." ”

"Ahem, this Su Zhe really surprised the official, and he can be regarded as a talent." Liu Biao also had to approve of Su Zhe.

Cai Mao on the side came back from the shock, but said: "This Su Zi is clearly outstanding, but it is still too early to call him the first talent of Jingxiang based on this." ”

Sima Hui wanted to say more, but Cai Mao arched his hand to Liu Biaoyi and said: "Lord, the talents have almost all shown their talents, and the lord must have made up his mind about their abilities, so please ask the lord to choose the best." ”

Liu Biao's attention was drawn away from Su Zhe, and he brushed his hand and said: "Deju, you can draw up a list, and this official will review it last, after all, you are the Nanyang Taishou who is about to take office, and these talents will be your subordinates in the future." ”

Cai Mao asked someone to bring pen and ink, thought about it before and after, and after some careful consideration, drew up a list.

In front of the pavilion, the talents all quieted down, looking at the pavilion and waiting for the results.

Huang Jie's expression became confident again, and he glanced at Su Zhe with disdain, and that look seemed to say: What if you predict that I will win, I will still be chosen, and you are doomed to lose.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his arrogant eyes, and felt unhappy, so he flattened his mouth and whispered: "Childe, look at that yellow shot, he is so proud of losing to you, what kind of smug is he." ”

Su Zhe sneered: "The Huang family is the four major families of Jingxiang, not to mention that he lost to me today, even if he only let out a fart, our Liu Jingzhou will never treat him badly." ”

"What about Childe? Will Childe be chosen? Su Xiaoxiao looked worried.

"As for me, there was absolutely no hope." Su Zhe took a sip of wine, and his tone became playful, "But our state pastor, in the end, is holding this recruitment meeting under the guise of meritocracy, based on the performance of my son, I expect that he will definitely choose me in order to stop his tongue." ”

Su Xiaoxiao was suspicious and looked at the pavilion uneasily.

After a while, Cai Mao drew up the list and gave it to Liu Biao, Liu Biao glanced at it, nodded his satisfaction, added a person to the pen, and handed it back to Cai Mao and asked him to read it out.

Cai Mao stood on the steps, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "The talented people who were read their names stay, and the rest of them should be invited back, the first place ......"

Then, Cai Mao read out the names one by one, and sure enough, including Huang Jie, the four major families in Jingzhou, as well as the children of the Ma family, the Yang family, the Xi family and other sub-surname families, were all on the list, and the Deng family, the Wen family and other low-end families also got a small part of the places.

As for the talented people, none of them were chosen.

Su Xiaoxiao's face became more and more anxious, and when she saw that the list was about to be finished, Cai Mao paused, and in a reluctant tone, finally read out a name:

Su Zhe.

There was a sudden soft uproar in front of the pavilion, and the eyes of the princes of the big clan gathered on Su Zhe again.

That kind of strange look, as if they saw a strange among their kind, undisguised resistance.

Huang Zhe was also taken aback, and with an unhappy gaze, he secretly glared at Su Zhe.

"Childe, you are really a god, and you guessed it again." Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised, grabbed Su Zhe's sleeve, and was very excited.

"What's the fuss, slow down, slow down, the wine is spilled......" Su Zhe was not half excited, just cared about the wine in the cup.

After the list was read out, the talents who were not selected left with regret, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen people left in front of the pavilion.

Looking around, all the gorgeously dressed sons of the Jingxiang clan, only Su Zhe, a talented man from a poor family dressed in cloth, was "mixed" among them, which was a little eye-catching.

Then, Cai Mao began to announce the appointment order of the county orders of the counties to which Nanyang County belongs.

The result of the appointment was naturally expected by Su Zhe, like the Pang family, the Cai family and other children of the four major families were all entrusted to Wancheng, Xinye, a county that is either rich or geographically important, and the remaining counties that are a little worse will be distributed to those inferior families.

"Sure enough, the price is clearly marked, Tong Suo is not bullied......" Su Zhe remained silent and sneered in his heart.

In the end, Cai Mao glanced at Huang Shot and Su Zhe, and said in a loud voice: "Assassin County Order, Huang Shot." Biyang County Order, Su Zhe. ”

After reading it, Huang Jie glanced at Su Zhe, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of pride.

Of course, Su Zhe knew what he was proud of, and naturally he could hear the trickiness of Liu Biao's appointment order.

Although the Biyang County Order and the Jianyang County Order are both county orders, they are not the same.

Jianyang is close to Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County, located on the north-south traffic artery, with a large population and fertile land.

However, Nabiyang County is located in the east of Nanyang, far away from Wancheng, its land is somewhat barren, and the population is small, which is the last few poor counties in Nanyang.

The most important thing is that this Biyang County borders on Runan County, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Runan are overflowing, and they will go to Biyang to burn and loot from time to time.

"You want me to retreat in the face of difficulties, and I don't want to bear the infamy of unfair employment, Liu Biao, your methods are really clever......" Su Zhe scolded in his heart.

Su Zhe could see that it was greasy, but Sima Hui couldn't see it.

His face immediately sank, and he arched his hand: "Lord Zhou Mu, this Su Ziming's talent is above Huang Jie, but why did he let Huang Zhu go to Jianyang, a rich and stable county, to be a county commander, but let Su Zhe go to a poor and dangerous county like Biyang to be a county commander, if I remember correctly, Biyang has two consecutive county commanders, and they all died under the attack of the Yellow Turban Yu Kou." ”

"Mr. Shuijing misunderstood what the official meant." Liu Biao smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this Su Ziming's outstanding talent that the official wants him to go to Biyang as a county magistrate, except for him, who can take on this important responsibility, this official is actually a heavy use of him." ”

Sima Hui was blocked by Liu Biao's words, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Liu Biao got up and walked out of the pavilion again, looked down at Su Zhe, and said: "Su Zhe, this official intends to reuse it for you, let you do the order of Biyang County, but that Biyang County is often plagued by the scourge of the Yellow Turban Yu Kou, and the heroes who are not talented and brave cannot bear this heavy use, if you are afraid and dare not take on this heavy responsibility, the official is not reluctant, you can go home and study with peace of mind." ”

Liu Biao personally went out to force Su Zhe to retreat.

Su Zhe's fists were secretly clenched, his thoughts were surging, and a wave of ambition burned wildly in his blood.

"If I don't agree, I'm afraid I'll never get ahead, I'll have to go through once, and with the system in my body, how can I be a poor man who is looked down upon for a lifetime! Although it is extremely risky to go to Biyang to be a county magistrate, it is also a rare opportunity to get ahead, hum, you want me to retreat from the difficulty, I am not as good as you wish! ”

In my heart, I have made up my mind.

He took a deep breath, stood up slowly, bowed his hand slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Thanks to the importance of the state pastor, how can Su Zhe live up to the love of the adult, I am willing to accept the appointment and do the order of Nabiyang County." ”

Everyone present was taken aback, obviously no one expected that Su Zhe would be "not afraid of death" and dare to take over this appointment.

Liu Biao was also shocked, and a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes, but it was difficult to take back his fate, so he had to say: "Okay, good, this official really didn't misunderstand you, you are really a bold talent." ”

The voice fell, but Su Zhe said loudly: "After all, it is a life of nine deaths to do the order of Biyang County, Zhe knows that the Lord of the State Mu has always had clear rewards and punishments, so he has the courage to ask the adults for a reward in advance, if Zhe can pacify the Yellow Turban disaster in Biyang County within three months, he will ask the adults to ask for rewards and promote me to Nanyang Taishou!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar.
