Chapter Seventy-Seven: Xu Yu (One More Requests for Subscription)
Nanyang celebrities, Xu You?
When Ye Zhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, this name, as long as it is someone who has some impression of the Three Kingdoms, will not be unfamiliar, although he does not appear much in the romance, but the role it plays is to almost affect the situation of the entire era, the battle of Guandu, even if Cao Cao is eloquent, but in the face of Yuan Shao at that time, it was actually quite difficult, but it was precisely because of the appearance of Xu You that the situation of the battle of Guandu was completely reversed.
Without this person, even if Yuan Shao could not escape defeat in the end, he would not have been so miserable.
In addition, although Xu You has some character flaws, he can indeed be regarded as a first-class strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, but what puzzles Ye Zhao is that he has never crossed paths with this person, and Xu You's background is also higher than himself, he is a famous man in Nanyang, and after a famous family, his family background is also several grades higher than the Ye family, but if he really speaks about the right to speak, he is much more useful than himself, the acting minister of state.
Even if Wang Fen had something to tell him, he would just send a henchman over, how could he send a heavyweight like Xu Yu to him? No, it's not certain whether Wang Fen can send it or not.
Although there were doubts in his heart, Ye Zhao was not rude, and hurriedly got up and said: "Since I am a celebrity, I should greet him in person!" ”
No matter what Xu You's evaluation is in history, people are now celebrities, with Ye Zhao's current family background and prestige, they are not qualified to pose in front of this kind of celebrities, of course, it is what you should do to greet each other in person in the eyes of celebrities, a minister of state or an agent, but there is no chemical reaction that makes people move.
"I have heard the name of Mr. Nanyang Ziyuan for a long time, and it is really a great blessing to see it today!" Ye Zhao looked at the young man with a lock of goatee in front of him, with an elegant temperament and a handsome appearance, and said with a smile.
"Don't dare, Ye Fujun is young and promising, this Taiping Sect rebellion has only been in place for a month, and he put down the rebellion of the Liang Kingdom, such a skill is really ashamed." Xu You smiled and was let into the county office by Ye Zhao, and the two sat down in the living room.
"Mr. Ziyuan is from Jizhou this time?" The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Xu You didn't show the arrogant face of a celebrity as soon as he came up, and Ye Zhao was naturally happy to make a friend.
"You came from Luoyang, dragged by Brother Wenzu, came to the Central Plains to find a few celebrities, passed by Liang Guo, heard about the deeds of the envoy, and in the previous correspondence with Wenzu, Brother Wen Zu also mentioned many times that the prince of the palace was young and promising, and he was curious. Xu You knelt on the mat, looked at Ye Zhao for a moment and said with a smile: "Now it seems that Brother Wen still underestimated the prince, the monarch can not only lead the army to kill the enemy, but also govern well, in this month, the Liang country not only exhausted the thief army, but also restored the people's livelihood under the governance of the monarch, this kind of means, not only is it a young man?" ”
"Sir, you've said that." Ye Zhao smiled politely, and didn't take this seriously, he was now numb to the kind of officialdom that praised people: "Zhao is just at the right time, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army's chaotic formation, I'm afraid that it would still be trapped in Suiyang and can't get out." ”
"How old is the elder of the Mansion, if the Governor of the Mansion does not give up, how about the words of the table?" Xu Yu touched his beard and looked at Ye Zhaodao with a smile.
Xu Yu became famous early, and he was nearly ten years older than Ye Zhao, so it is understandable to say this.
"Mr. Ziyuan, but what do you need to serve?" Ye Zhao looked at Xu You suspiciously, not to mention historical records, just in this era, Xu You's name is not low, in the information Ye Zhao knows, this Xu You is proud of his talents, and he often contradicts his superiors in Luoyang, and has been dismissed several times, he should be an arrogant person, but at this moment, it seems that it is not like it at all, but he praises himself vigorously.
The two are just meeting for the first time, and in terms of identity and status, it should be Ye Zhao who praises Xu You, but now that it has been reversed, Ye Zhao doesn't feel that he has such a great personality charm, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.
Xu You looked at Ye Zhao with a smile, nodded and said: "The envoy is really smart, I really don't hide it, I came to find the envoy this time, in addition to admiring the name of the envoy, there is indeed one thing to ask for, but it is a little difficult to say, it is just about the career of a close friend, so I have to ask for it cheekily." ”
Unspeakable, best friend?
Ye Zhao looked at Xu You, his heart moved, but he knew Xu You's intention, but it was really difficult for him to say this, so he pretended not to know at the moment: "Mr. Ziyuan, but it doesn't matter, as long as Ye can do it, he will never refuse." ”
"Do you remember your predecessor Liang Guoxiang Zhou Jing?" Xu You smiled and said, "This person is close friends with You and Brother Wen. ”
"Naturally, I remember that Zhao Chu was appointed as Suiyang Ling, and his heels were not stable, thanks to his thoughtfulness, this kindness, Ye Zhao will never forget it." Ye Zhao said with a smile, not mentioning Zhou Jing's abandonment of the city and his possible involvement with the Taiping Sect.
Xu You squinted at Ye Zhao, nodded and said: "It is said that Jun is smart, and when I see him today, I know that his career will be smooth." ”
"Mr. Ziyuan's false praise, Zhao is just fulfilling his duties." Ye Zhao also smiled.
Xu You came here for Zhou Jing's matter, hoping that Ye Zhao would not expose Zhou Jing, although Ye Zhao didn't say it explicitly, but when it came to this point, there was no need to bring it up again, originally here, there was nothing to do, but Xu You had a lot of good feelings about Ye Zhao at the moment, such a talented but not arrogant, nor pedantic, it was really rare, Xu You was originally going to leave after talking about Zhou Jing, but at this moment, he had a little more intention of making friends, so he was not in a hurry to leave, but discussed the current situation with Ye Zhao.
From the current Yellow Turban Uprising to the party ban, although it is said to speak freely, the two do not have a deep friendship, many problems are superficial, not in-depth, Xu You is knowledgeable, and his knowledge is not bad, Ye Zhao's experience is treacherous, and his thoughts are not limited to the present, many points of view also make Xu You's eyes brighten, for a while, there is some hatred of seeing each other, and they have been chatting for two hours, Xu You was shocked that time had passed, and he quickly got up to say goodbye.
Ye Zhao sent Xu You out of the city all the way, looking at the direction Xu You left, frowning slightly, Xu You's words implied a lot of dissatisfaction with today's current politics, this Ye Zhao is not surprised, the contradiction between the imperial power and the family has become more and more intense, and it has not eased with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xu You is naturally on the side of the family, Ye Zhao can understand, but he always feels that there is something hidden in Xu You's words, as for what, Ye Zhao can't think of it for a while, he and Xu You are just the first acquaintance, Xu You can't talk to him heart-to-heart, The same is true for Ye Zhao.
Shaking his head, Ye Zhao put this matter behind him and returned to the county office, now that the Liang Kingdom has become more and more stable, it is time for him to think about what to do next.
The next day, Ye Zhao was reading a book in the study, but saw Qiu Chi knocking on the door and coming in, bowed down and said, "Lord, there is news." ”
"What's the news?" Ye Zhao put down the notebook and looked at Qiu Chidao.
"Your Majesty has recently lifted the ban on the party and granted amnesty to the party members." Qiu Chi bowed and said.
"So here." Ye Zhao couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "What about Huangfu Song?" ”
This is Huangfu Song forcing the imperial court, but since the Son of Heaven has lifted the party ban, Huang Fu Song should also take action.
"There has been no action, and the news from Luoyang seems to be that the military salary is not enough, and the soldiers are unwilling to fight." Qiu Chi bowed and said.
"Oh, you have to inch in!" When Ye Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up: "It's time for us to send troops to relieve the worries of the court and be loyal to Your Majesty." ”
"The lord wants to send troops?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao in surprise.
"This Liang State is already calm, and it won't be long before the new Liang State Minister will take office, but this new Liang State Minister is definitely not me, staying here, it is no longer useful, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the military power is still in my hands at this time, and make another contribution to add some military prestige to me." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile and said: "Order Ding Li, mobilize the soldiers and horses of all counties of Liang State, select the elite first school to prepare to go with me, Dian Wei will accompany me, let Meng Hu take care of everyone's family and Guan Hai and Fang Yue, if someone comes to take office, I will hand over the seal of Liang Guoxiang to the new Liang Guoxiang on my behalf." ”
"Huh~" Qiu Chi responded, turned around and took two steps, and looked back at Ye Zhao with some hesitation: "Lord, do this...... Will it offend the emperor Fu Song? ”
Huangfu Song's actions, although there is some intention to coerce the Son of Heaven, but this kind of thing, if they intervene, they will definitely offend Huangfu Song, the Huangfu family is a big family in Guanzhong, even if it is the top column in the family, even the Son of Heaven has to compromise, although Ye Zhao has outstanding ability, but after all, the family is insufficient, if the Huangfu family wants to deal with Ye Zhao, with Ye Zhao's background, the future career is afraid that it is not optimistic.
"If you want to go up, how can there be fewer enemies?" Ye Zhao pointed to the top of his head and said, he is limited by his background, if he wants to accumulate political capital in a short period of time, it is inevitable to make enemies, this time is a great opportunity to get closer to the Son of Heaven, if he misses it, the next time he will not only wait until when, although he will offend Huangfu Song, but the Huangfu family can not represent the entire scholar class, and morally speaking, he is not wrong, even if the Huangfu family wants to deal with himself, he can't deal with it in a grand manner, he can only make some ghost tricks, and in exchange, it is the emperor's attention, a breakthrough for himself, Why not? It's a risk worth taking.
"Humble duty understands." Qiu Chi nodded, turned around and left, this kind of thing, he just clicked on it, as for how to choose, it was Ye Zhao's problem, and he couldn't participate in it.
Early the next morning, Ding Li selected 2,000 elite men from the army to assemble in Mengxian, Ye Zhao left Meng Hu to take care of Guan Hai and Fang Yue, who were injured, and sent the remaining soldiers and horses to the counties to station, and brought Dian Wei, Qiu Chi, Liao Chun, and Ding Li to gather troops and horses in Mengxian County, and sent troops west to Yingchuan.
Along the way, you can see the Yellow Turban Liukou everywhere, there is no purpose at all, the past villages, mostly deserted, the former prosperity is now deserted, which makes people feel depressed, Ye Zhao is busy on the road, if those Yellow Turban thieves do not take the initiative to provoke, they are too lazy to pay attention, so they march for half a month, and they will arrive in Yingchuan.
