Xu Chu is busy here, and Yanling County has been very lively recently.

The news that the Zhang clan of Yanling was going to move to Shu County, Lujiang, flashed over Yanling like a thunderbolt. The big and small heroes in the county were amazed, and at the same time, they couldn't help but start their own calculations.

In the entire Yingchuan County, Yanling County was the most deeply affected by Xu Chu.

At that time, not only did the people in the county benefit from some of Xu Chu's benevolent measures, but the big and small heroes in the county also received a lot of benefits. Wang Xu and Li Zheng's families are both surnamed Lizhong, and they are already prosperous. Because Xu Chu handed over Tieshan to them, the two families have now become the richest and most powerful wealthy families in Yanling County.

After Xu Chu left the county, the situation slowly changed.

First of all, Li Min was too punctual for the county, and changed the Yanling county order, and not long after, Kong Ling came again, and began to coerce the wealthy families in the county to provide people and food, and the family was miserable. Since the time of the Tie Shan Rebellion against Dong, it has been abandoned again, and Wang and Li can no longer continue to be their fake iron officials.

Because of this, Li Zheng and Wang Xu heard that soon after the Zhang family moved to Lujiang, they made an appointment to meet, and after meeting, they didn't say a few words, and the two hit it off and made a decision - to follow the Zhang family to Lujiang County.

Then he went to Chen Yi, an old acquaintance who helped the Zhang family prepare for the migration, and told him about it.

Although Chen Yi did not follow Xu Chu to Lujiang before, everyone in Yanling County knew that he and Xu Chu were like brothers. In the past, when he was in Yanling, Chen Yi often served Xu Chu and served as the head of the mansion, it can be said that during that period, Xu Chu entrusted his own backyard to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi had nothing to do, let them hurry up and prepare, and set off together in two days.

So in the early morning two days later, a huge team composed of the righteous servants and the wealthy clans in the county recruited by the Zhang clan and Chen Yi in Yuxian and other places marched south in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of Xu Chu's army in Xu County.

However, he said that after Xu Chu sent farewell letters to the famous men and scholars who were familiar with him in the county one by one, he waited for two days and then went to the west.

Cao Cao took the county officials and rushed to the outside of the city to see him off.

In the warm morning sun, Xu Chu and Cao Cao's faces were bright red, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Farewell today, I don't know when I will be able to meet my virtuous brother again." Cao Cao said with emotion.

"There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Although my brother and my brother are thousands of miles apart, as long as you and I have similar interests, one day, we will see each other. ”

Chewing on Xu Chu's subsequent sentences, Cao Cao muttered: "Zhongkang, brother has known you for a long time, but I don't know your talent, not necessarily limited to the military......." and guessed the meaning of Xu Chu's second half of the sentence, Cao Cao couldn't help but reverie: When I see you again in the future, I don't know if it is on the battlefield or in the court.

The county officials came to meet one by one, Xu Chu talked one by one, and after a delay of nearly an hour, he turned the horse's head and led Xun Yu, Xi Zhong and others to chase the front team.

A few days later, he arrived outside Xu County and joined Chen Yi, Zhang Taigong and others.

......

......

Qian County.

Standing on the wet ground, Guo Jia raised his eyes and saw that it was depressed.

Gong Su sighed with emotion: "Mr. Fengxiao, this is the hometown of the lord." ”

Guo Jia sighed: "The surroundings are in a mess, and when it comes to meals, there is only a few houses with smoke, and there is ...... It is obviously the state capital, but it is in such a situation, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can people dare to believe it! After being silent for a long time, he asked Gong Su again: "What are you doing here?" ”

Gong Su said: "Xu Li." ”

The names of the two Han Dynasty are often named after the surname of Lizhong, Guo Jia nodded, and listened to Gong Su continue: "It is also called Xu Jiawu." ”

The dock means a small fort for defense. Guo Jia thought to himself, this place is also called 'Xujiawu', it should be that the Xu clan built a dock fort to defend themselves in order to guard against thieves and rogues...... On the way, I listened to Gong Su talk about the situation in detail, and before Xu Chu escaped from Qian County, he was fighting against the Gepi thieves on the dock fort.

Looking at the many dilapidated houses in the middle, Guo Jia can imagine how prosperous the Xu Chu clan was back then, if not, how could they have the appeal to gather the people of the sect and the people to resist tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves!

But no matter how brilliant Xujiawu was in the past, after experiencing thieves and wars, it was already a bleak and miserable situation.

Guo Jia asked, "Gong Jun, where is the family you inquired about?" ”

Gong Su pointed to the distance and said, "It's there." ”

The two rode their horses over, and occasionally met a few ragged peasants on the side of the road, and when they saw that they were tall and tall, and their clothes were incomparable to those of ordinary people, they thought that they were officials, and they all panicked and avoided them. Guo Jia's eyes were sharp, and he saw a woman holding a skinny child running into the ridge in a panic, and one accidentally fell to the ground, and the child in her arms immediately cried.

The woman was so frightened that she reached out and covered the child's mouth.

Guo Jia couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said to Gong Su: "Lao Jun went over to help." ”

Gong Su nodded, dismounted and walked to the woman's side, helped her up, and took out a gold cake in the woman's horrified eyes and handed it over.

The woman did not dare to take it.

Gong Su was helpless, so he had to say: "This golden cake is not for you, if you can answer my words, I can give it to you." ”

When the woman heard this, her eyes dodged for a while, and Fang nodded slightly.

Gong Su said: "There is a family surnamed Xu in front of him, and the adult in the family is named Xu Fang, do you know if he is at home?" ”

When the woman heard this, she was like being struck by lightning, and when Gong Su saw this, she said suspiciously: "Is it possible...... That's your home? ”

......

......

"The lord's brother is named Xu Ding, and when my brother Gongyan and I fled from Youzhou to this place, the first thing we met was not the lord, but Xu Ding.

"Ge Pi thieves are coming, the war is urgent, I don't want to fight fiercely, the lord suddenly commits a strange illness, and he can't sleep...... The lord's martial arts are superb, famous in the county, and he is the backbone of everyone...... Xu Ding ordered me to take the lord away as soon as possible, and he led hundreds of young men to stop the thieves. The situation was critical, and I took turns with Chen Yi, Zifan and others to flee in panic behind the lord's back, until a few days later, I learned that Xujiawu was captured by thieves, and most of the people in the room were victimized by thieves...... The elder brother of the lord also died in this battle.

"After that, Mr. Bonghyo also knew about it. It wasn't until Kefu Luoyang that Su was lucky enough to find the jade seal of the country, and after Mr. mentioned it, he thought of sending someone to Lizhong to inquire whether the Xu family had any descendants. ”

In the dim and chaotic house, Gong Su stared at the man lying on the sickbed in front of him, as well as the woman and child he had just met, and said eloquently: "This person is called Xu Fang, but Xu Ding's cronies and righteous servants, and I learned that the child they are raising may be the lord's...... Younger sister. ”

Smelling the strange smell of moisture and herbs in the house, Guo Jia carefully looked at this skinny child, a wild child as black and shiny as a mud doll, where could he tell that it was a girl?

"How old is the child?"

"Eight...... Year. ”

"Just right." Guo Jia bent down and held the child's hand, "From now on, I said that she is the sister of the lord, and she is the sister of the lord." ”

took out a bag of gold cakes from his arms and put them in front of the collapse, Guo Jia continued: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." You are a loyal family, and the man is infected with a bad disease, and this bag of gold cakes must not be revealed to others...... lest evil come to them. ”

The man on the sickbed cast a complicated gaze at Guo Jia and Gong Su.

He has been sick for many years and is now unable to speak, so there is actually no one in the world who knows the true identity of this child.

That's for the best.

The woman thanked and bowed with a thousand thanks, and sobbed again and again, "The family has been without food for many days, and the wild vegetables and tree bark in the vicinity have been eaten up...... I can't live anymore. ”

Guo Jia was silent for a long time, shook his head and left.

Gong Su took the child, hugged the horse, and the two rode away.
