Chapter 143: Turned Away

After Ye Chen set up camp, he actively prepared for battle, set up obstacles on the side of the road, arranged many archers on the high ground on both sides of the road, and sent people to draw a map of the surrounding terrain.

Ye Chen knew that the two generals in history were the defeated and retreating Changshe, so he took this matter very seriously and made full preparations.

A day later, in Ye Chen's tent, Guan Yu and Tai Shici were there.

"Yun Chang, it's all done." Ye Chen asked naturally about defense.

"My lord, we have all made preparations, even if the army comes to attack, we can resist for three days." Guan Yu said to Ye Chen.

Of course, Guan Yu was relieved that Ye Chen was doing things, so he didn't ask much and nodded.

"Okay, so it's fine, according to the news from the scouts, there won't be any big battle in five days, and neither side is ready, so I'm going to go out." Ye Chen said to Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu.

"Second brother, but there is something important, it is not peaceful here now."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this Yingchuan is a rare gathering place for talents in the world, and I want to go out for a walk, visit some celebrities, and see if I can find someone to give us advice." Yingchuan Academy is the best in the world in this era, and Liaodong is short of scribes and strategists.

Although going out for a walk doesn't necessarily have anything to gain, but if you don't try your luck here, Ye Chen is really unwilling.

"Oh, that second brother has a goal." Tai Shici also knew that Liaodong needed scribes too much, so he didn't persuade Ye Chen again.

"The world's famous Xun family is next to here, the fast horse can be reached in the past half a day, I want to visit the Xun family first, Xun Yu and Xun Yu of the Xun family are all famous people in the world, and the rest of the Xun family are also the world's heroes." The Xun family is a well-deserved number one door in Yingchuan, and Ye Chen only knows where they are, although there are still many celebrities here, but Ye Chen has nowhere to find them.

"When does the lord plan to leave and when will he return?

Guan Yu asked.

"You can set off, after all, the big war is coming, and I can't be absent for a long time, as for how long I go, I will come back in about three days. So I want the eldest brother and Yun Chang to go with me and stay alone. ”

"Lord, Ziyi will go with you, Yuzhen guards the barracks." Guan Yu understood that Tai Shi Ci and Ye Chen were sworn brothers, and this kind of visit was more inclined to be private, so it was more appropriate for Tai Shi Ci to go.

"Okay, I'll take a few hundred people with me, go and come back quickly, there's Chief Lao Yun here." Ye Chen didn't have time to delay, so he immediately decided to say.

"Don't worry, my lord."

Ye Chen set off with Tai Shici and the tiger head, as well as the five hundred guard battalions.

Half a day later, Ye Chen arrived at Yingyin, which was the location of the Xun family. The Xun family has a very high reputation in the local area, so after asking passers-by, they quickly found it.

Ye Chen took Tai Shici and the tiger head, as well as more than a dozen guard battalions to visit.

"Liaodong Ye Chen, come to visit the Xun family, and I hope to report." easily found the Xun family, and Ye Chen arrived at the temporary post.

The guards at the door saw that Ye Chen was extraordinary, and he didn't make much trouble, so he immediately went in to make a statement.

"What's the matter?" Xun Shuang was walking from the pavilion with his nephew Xun Yu, and when he saw the doorman coming in a hurry, he asked.

"Someone outside the door asked to see, handed over the post, saw that its temperament was good, I thought it would not be a nameless person, so I came to report." The doorman replied simply.

"Oh, who did you visit?"

"No, I just said that I visited the Xun family."

"Show me the prayer post."

Xun Shuang ranks sixth in Xun's Eight Dragons, this sixth is only ranked by age, but in terms of talent and fame, this Xun Shuang is undoubtedly the most of the Eight Dragons, there is a saying: "Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unique", this Ciming is Xun Shuang's word.

Of course, Xun Shuang can represent the Xun family, so there is nothing wrong with him asking for a post.

Xun Shuang took the post and looked at it, frowned after looking at it, and then took the post to Xun Yu next to him.

"Liaodong Ye Chen." Xun Yu also looked weird.

Xun Shuang and Xun Yu's performance was unnatural, because the two had talked about Ye Chen just now, this Xun Shuang was very optimistic about this nephew Xun Yu, so he often taught him personally, and today he was called to talk about the current situation together, and Ye Chen and they also talked about it several times.

"Uncle, I want to see this Ye Chen." Xun Yu looked at Xun Shuang and asked.

"Let's not see, we are destined to be on different sides from him." Xun Shuang thought for a while and replied.

"Isn't my uncle very optimistic about this Ye Chen?" After all, Xun Yu was still young at this time, and he didn't have Xun Shuang's vision yet, so he didn't know what Xun Shuang's plans were for a while.

"That's right, there must be a place for this son in the world in the future, but our Xun family can't get too close to this son, or can't work together, but we must not offend, unless we belong to different camps in the future and must be hostile, but this hostility is only on business, I believe this person's vision and mind can also understand."

Xun Shuang explained his views to Xun Yu in detail, and he also intended to teach him.

Xun Yu still didn't seem to understand, he continued: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't understand, you said that he must be a hero, with great wisdom and great revenge. But this kind of person must cherish his feathers, why should he collude with the eunuch group. ”

Xun Yu praised him for killing Wuhuan and helping the people, but he was very disgusted with his close relationship with the eunuch Zhang Rang.

Xun Shuang continued: "If you look at the essence through the phenomenon, his collusion with the eunuch group is only an expedient measure, at least for now, as for what he will do in the future, it depends on how he handles the relationship with the eunuch group."

There are advantages and disadvantages of colluding with the eunuch group, as for whether it is beneficial or harmful, it depends on his ability? Whether it can be handled properly. ”

Xun Shuang continued: "This person is not from a family, he is from a merchant family, and his status is humble, if he follows the normal route, he is destined to not be in a high position, so he colludes with Zhang Rang and others, and when he waits for the opportunity, he can rush up and occupy a high position." But the eunuch group is destined to be destroyed, and on the day of the destruction of the eunuch group, it is also his most dangerous time, it depends on whether he can withdraw in time, when he can withdraw, and if he does not handle it well, he will also be destroyed. ”

"Well, if it's really as Uncle said, this person is really not a thing in the pool, then Uncle, how should we respond to this Ye Chen?" Xun Yu now understands that this Ye Chen temporarily defected to the eunuch group, and he may soon be able to soar into the sky, but it is also very dangerous, and if he does not handle it well, he will be destroyed with the eunuch group.

"I can't see it, but I can't offend this person either, this person will be a man of the year in the next few years." Xun Shuang continued: "Just go back to him, you can't be a friend, and you don't want to be an enemy, I believe he can understand." ”

So Xun Shuang asked the gatekeeper to reply to Ye Chen. Ye Chen was not angry when he heard this reply, but he was very depressed.

"Second brother, I think this family is the same face, don't you see it." Although Ye Chen could bear it, Tai Shici couldn't bear it.

"Big brother, there's no way, we are invisibly different camps from the family, and it's good that the Xun family doesn't have a bad face. Alas, I have long known that there will be such a situation if I have a relationship with Zhang Rang and others, but Liaodong is really short of talents, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I have to try. ”

Now that the Ye family's career is getting bigger and bigger, there is a shortage of administrative talents, and if the territory is expanded in the future, it will be even more difficult, so Ye Chen is very anxious, hoping to recruit a group of scribes for his own use, but the number of recruits in the past two years is really small, and now that he has arrived in Yingchuan, where the scribes gather, Ye Chen wants to start recruiting scribes again.
