Chapter 20 The Talent of the Sea
When Liu Fan went north to Jiangyi, he brought Liu Yu's two sons, Liu Jiang and Liu Hai, both of whom were both literate and martial, and their talents were good.
Now that Liu Fan has no one around except Guan Yu, there is no one available, and Liu Fan has to bring the two of them to his side.
In fact, what Liu Fan hopes for most is to have a top strategist to advise him. Now it is rumored that Liu Fan, the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion, has written poems, but he has a few catties and taels, Liu Fan is very clear, Liu Fan of the two generations is mainly based on martial arts, and has no life experience at all, Liu Fan can only rely on the vision and knowledge of his previous life to take the vague road in the future.
When he set off today, Liu Fan had already thought about it, and he wanted to turn around halfway to find a great talent to assist him in rejuvenating the Han, thinking about it, Liu Fan looked at Guzang County, Wuwei County, Jia Xu, who was known as a poisonous man and a ghost talent.
Who dared to say that there would be no Three Kingdoms without themselves at the end of the Han Dynasty? Jia Xu is one of them. In the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu's conspiracy, Cao Cao's treachery, Guan Yu's righteousness, and Zhuge Liang's wisdom are the most impressive character traits that have been read about the Three Kingdoms.
At that time, Chang'an Wen had Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan, etc., and Wu had Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, Lu Zhi, Lu Bu and his generals, etc., the Han Dynasty had the opportunity to prosper, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others sent an envoy to Chang'an to ask for pardon because of fear, Wang Yun refused straightforwardly, just when Li Dao and others did not know what to do, and were ready to be dismissed and return to the township, Jia Xu offered a sentence for self-preservation: "I heard that Chang'an Zhongyi wanted to punish the people of Liangzhou, and the monarchs abandoned the crowd and went alone." , that is, a pavilion can be restrained. It is better to lead the crowd to the west, where to collect troops, to attack Chang'an, to avenge Dong Gong, fortunately, to serve the country to conquer the world, if not, go ahead. ”
It was this plan that broke the last hope of the Han Dynasty. Li Dao and Guo Bi gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Chang'an, Lu Bu, Huangfu Song and others were outnumbered, Lu Bu fled, Wang Yun died, and Emperor Xian of Han and hundreds of civil and military officials fell into the hands of Li Dao and Guo Bi.
When Jia Xu was young, he raised filial piety and honesty as a lang, but because he was dissatisfied with the darkness of the government, he resigned from illness. It took more than ten years to emerge in the countryside. In the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu first appeared in Niu Fu's army, and according to time, Jia Xu must be a white body now.
Although Jia Xu has changed hands many times, it is all for self-preservation. Although he has a heart that will go down in history, he will not be tempted by the money and power of beautiful women.
In his position, seeking his government, Jia Xu no matter which side of the princes he serves, he will do his best to assist, this kind of person Liu Fan dares to use the most, and he hopes to get it the most.
Liu Fan and the others went out of Anyi, handed over the appointment letter of their county Sima and the overlord halberd to Guan Yu, and said to Guan Yu and others: "My overlord halberd will be kept by Yun Chang for the time being, and this letter of appointment will be handed over to the county commander of Jiangyi when the time comes, let him arrange it for you, the recruitment of soldiers must be strict, and the previous method of recruiting private soldiers is the same, a hundred catties of stone piers cannot be raised ten times, no." The banner of three meals a day and one training a day should also be played out, so that those who are not determined will will know the difficulties and retreat. I will go to Liangzhou for half a month as fast as I am, and 20 days as slow as possible, and I will definitely be able to come back. ”
Liu Fan asked like this, the military salary given by the Taishou Mansion was definitely not enough, for the sake of the sophistication of the army, Liu Fan did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket to raise the soldiers, and this time Liu Fan brought a lot of gold and silver money to Jiangyi It was also this that he thought of this. The overlord halberd is heavy and attention-grabbing, and it is not suitable for carrying it when riding a horse, and a Qingxuan sword is enough to defend yourself when you go to Liangzhou.
The Eastern Han County Order is generally ranked 600 stone to 1,000 stone, Anyi is a big city in the north, and Anyi is ranked 1,000 stone; The population of Jiangyi is small, and the order rank of Jiangyi County is 600 stones.
Liu Fan's official rank of county Sima is more than 1,000 stones, coupled with the identity of Liu Fanzong's son and the title of Marquis of Xiqin Pavilion, the county order of Jiangyi will definitely arrange very thoughtful arrangements for Guan Yu and others.
"Don't worry, the lord will do everything according to the lord's orders." Guan Yu took the overlord halberd and the letter of appointment, and said with his fists clenched.
"It's not appropriate for the master to leave halfway when he takes office for the first time, so who is Jia Xu? He even asked the master to go in person. Why don't you let me take the master and invite Na Jia Xu to come to Jiangyi. Liu Jiang didn't understand Liu Fan's mood of urgently needing talents, and wanted to share his worries for his master and go to Jia Xu instead of Liu Fan.
When he first set off, Liu Fan told Guan Yu, Liu Hai and Liu Jiang that he was going to Wuwei in Liangzhou to find a great talent. In order not to let Wang Yi know that Liu Fan left halfway when he took office, Liu Fan chose to take Puban to cross the Yellow River after leaving Anyi, and then take the Yongliang Straight Road to Wuwei.
"Jia Xu, this person has the talent to set the sky and the sea, in order to show sincerity, I will go in person." Liu Fan said solemnly.
"The road is long, take care of the master." Liu Jiang couldn't persuade Liu Fan and reminded.
"The eldest brother is too careful, the master is the reincarnation of the overlord, where can one person and one sword go?" The bangs next to him answered. Although Liu Hai is only fifteen years old, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and none of Liu Fan's three hundred private soldiers is his opponent.
Hearing Liu Hai's words, Liu Fan chuckled lightly and carried the package prepared in advance on his back. Turn the horse's head and run towards the puban.
The journey from Anyi to Wuwei is two thousand miles, Liu Fan's horse is not a BMW horse, and he has to rest for a long time after running for two hours in a row.
Liu Fan wore the stars and the moon, and the wind and rain couldn't stop him, he knew that he couldn't delay too much time this time, no matter whether he could find Jia Xu or not, he had to go back as soon as possible.
Jiangyi is north of Fenshui, and in the afternoon of the same day, Guan Yu asked the nearby villagers to put together a boat, and before dusk, he crossed the Fenshui with all the men and horses, and camped on the bank of the Fenshui to rest for one night.
At noon the next day, Guan Yu and the others came to Jiangyi.
The city wall of Jiangyi County is only two zhang high, and the soldiers guarding the city wall and the gate are bathing in the warm winter sun at this moment, when suddenly a rolling sound of horses' hooves hits, startling the soldiers to tense up, and then look at the dust in the distance. It's not the fiery red sea of the Han army, and there's no flag.
"Close the gates!" Dubo, who was guarding the city gate, hurriedly shouted, it was not the army of the Han Dynasty, and the possibility of robbers was instantly ruled out, he had never heard that robbers had cavalry, Dubo subconsciously thought that the Huns had crossed the Yellow River to attack the county seat.
After the city gate was closed, that group of cavalry also came to the city of Jiangyi, and it was Guan Yu and others.
"I am the county Sima Liu Fan's subordinate Guan Yunchang is also, under the order of Lord Taishou and County Sima, he took the lead to recruit troops in Jiangyi to guard the surrounding counties centered on Jiangyi, this is a letter of appointment written by Lord Taishou himself, please come out and take a look." Guan Yu held the letter of appointment in his hand and shouted at the city wall.
Guan Yu has gained a lot of arrogance through Liu Fan's infection, and if it were a normal time, he would definitely yell at him to open the city gate quickly.
When Dubo on the city wall heard Guan Yu say this, his hanging heart suddenly let go. Liu Fan, the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion, wanted to come to Jiangyi to recruit troops and guard Jiangyi, of course he knew about this. The most important thing is that Guan Yu and the others are obviously not vicious Huns.
