Chapter 3 Guo Tu Introduction
Back in the temple, the fire rose again. The five Xu Chu brothers killed happily, and they were all very excited. Although the two scribes were frightened, their demeanor was calm as usual at this time, and this cultivation effort could not help but impress.
Xu Chu noticed that although the two of them knew at a glance that they were both from scholarly families, their clothing and temperament were very different. One of them, a little older, with two moustaches, a dark robe, and a belt around his waist, was obviously an official. The other person has handsome eyebrows, and his gestures are less of the atmosphere of the superiors, and he is more elegant, and he should be a scholar in the leisure family.
Seeing Xu Chu's eyes wandering around them, the two couldn't help but think of Xu Chu's shocking stab in the rain just now, the mustache spoke first, and before he could thank him, he praised Xu Chu first.
"Just now I was fortunate to see the skills of a strong man, and I know what is God's power, and a strong man is really the reincarnation of Wuyang." After speaking, he bowed, and together with his companions, he solemnly thanked him for saving his life.
The dancing sun he said was Fan Xu, a brave general under Gaozu Liu Bang. The person in the late Han Dynasty has a good name, and it is actually normal for this person to wear such a high hat to Xu Chu as soon as he opens his mouth.
Of course, where does Xu Chu know how to dance at this time, anyway, he just knows that the other party is praising him for his strong martial arts.
Xu Chu drew the gourd in the same way, immediately returned the salute, said a few words modestly, and asked: "Why are the two adults here, they will be targeted by the thief."
The mustache did not hide it, and replied: "In Xia Guotu, the official of the county government, visited the counties on business, and unfortunately met the rogues on the way back, and the accompanying guards were all dead, thanks to your presence, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." He pointed to his companion and said, "This is Yingyin Xunping, who met by chance on the way, so they walked together." ”
I really met a cowman.
Xu Chu had a plan in his heart before, if these two people were just ordinary scholars, it would be fine, and he should do a good deed; But if there is a name and a surname in history, it cannot be missed in vain.
So he pretended to be surprised and asked, "But Mr. Gongze?" Guo Tu's words, he knows them anyway.
"Oh? Do strong men recognize the following? Guo Tu asked, twisting his beard.
The four brothers over there also muttered in their hearts, the boss used to be righteous and squandered money, and they knew that his family was good, but they had never heard of the boss reading books and making friends with scholars.
Xu Chu said that his group of people came from Runan County, and because tens of thousands of Gepo thieves came to attack, they organized manpower to resist. However, the thief army was strong, and after fighting for many days, they could only abandon the city and flee. Then he vaguely said that when he fled to the territory of Yingchuan County, he had heard that Guo Tu's name had been mentioned, and he was so talented that he was famous in all the prefectures and counties.
Of course, this is Xu Chu talking nonsense, Guo Tu is someone, and later an important strategist around Yuan Shao. Later generations commented on him that although he was strategic, his character was not very good, and he was a flattering person. Such a person, Xu Chu is not interested in him. But now that his future is uncertain, he very much needs to make friends with these celebrities, so if he doesn't take the opportunity to pat his ass at this time, when will he wait?
Sure enough, Guo Tu's face was very happy when he heard this, and even Na Xun Ping echoed and said: "It turns out that the name of the public rule has spread all over the prefecture and county, and the king of the underworld really has the name of knowing people."
didn't know that the four brothers behind him had already dropped their jaws in shock - when did the boss become so ...... Talking.
After talking for a while, Xu Chu reported his name and name, and introduced the brothers one by one, when it came to the fierce thieves in Runan, Guo Tu sighed: "It's a pity that Yingchuan has few soldiers, and it is not easy to protect itself, and it is even more difficult to send troops to rescue Runan."
Xu Chu frowned and said, "Hey, how is that good?"
Guo Tu was relieved: "Don't worry too much, a few days ago, the prince of the palace has written to the court, and there should be a heavenly soldier coming soon, and the thieves will be at peace at that time."
Xun Ping asked: "Most of Runan has fallen into the hands of thieves, and you can't go back in a short time, I don't know what your plans are?"
It's still the intimacy of this surnamed Xun, and finally got to the point. Xu Chu and Chen Yi glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "I hope the two adults will point out a clear way."
Guo Tu has a keen mind, and he knows the elegance when he hears the string song, this is the other party asking for a body. He thought about it a little, these people are good at martial arts, and they have saved him, so they can recommend one or two to the prince of the mansion in terms of reason and reason; Besides, there is still a day's journey from Yang Zhai here, and there will be no difference with them.
So he said: "Don't dare to preach, just be a suggestion." Now although the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans of the Han Dynasty has been largely pacified, there are still tens of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the states and counties, and there are thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans. What if you don't know what to do? ”
Xu Chu couldn't ask for it, and immediately thanked Guo Tu for the gift, and the matter was closed. Everyone was happy, and the brothers of the Gong family skinned and roasted the rabbit caught by Chen Yi, and everyone happily shared it.
There was no other talk for the night, and they went to sleep. As soon as it was dawn the next day, the people got up and hurried.
After all, Guo Xun and the others were weak, and they were a little unbearable after walking for a few hours on the mountain road. The pavilion pawn summoned the pavilion chief, this place is close to Yang Zhai, this pavilion chief recognizes Guo Tu's appearance, how dare he slacken. After a busy period of serving tea and water, he sent someone to bring the only two horses in the pavilion.
Guo Tu got on the horse with a big grin, but Xun Ping was a little embarrassed and asked Xu Chu if he wanted to ride a horse. How could Xu Chu grab a horse and ride with them, but Chen Yishan observed his words and knew that the future of the brothers fell on Guo Tu, so he went up with an arrow and led the horse's head for Guo Tu.
So Guo Xun and the others rode horses, Chen Yi led Guo Tu's horse, and Xu Chu and others followed behind. Zifan said unhappily: "This surnamed Guo is not a thing, we just saved him, but he rode a horse by himself, and Brother Chen Yi used to lead the horse for him, and he didn't say a word." ”
Xu Chu smiled and said, "Zifan, you don't know anything about this." Guo Tu became famous at a young age, and he was too guarded and confidant, so he was naturally arrogant. If we hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to us. ”
Zifan was angry and stopped talking. Look at Guo Tu and Xun Ping again, go hand in hand, talk and laugh, talk about the world's celebrities, and count the heroes. Xu Chumo said that he interjected a few words, but he couldn't even understand it. There seems to be a natural gap between the children of the family and the people of Qianshou, which is difficult for people to cross.
By the time it was time for Yangzhai, it was not too early. Guo Tu was not in a hurry to go to Taishou Mansion, found an inn, and instructed Xu Chu and others to stay for one night first, and then go to meet the prince of the mansion together tomorrow morning. Xun Ping also said goodbye, saying that he was going to find his brother.
The store was cleaned up, and several brothers came to Xu Chu, because they were worried. They used to be rangers and athletes, and they roamed the township, but even county-level officials rarely saw them, not to mention that they would go to Taishou Mansion tomorrow.
Gongyan and Gongsu said with some inferiority, to the effect that how can such a good thing as being an official come to us ordinary people, when the lord was in Qian County, he was brave and famous, and there were hundreds of heroes gathered around him, and he didn't see the promotion of the official family, not to mention that there are only four of us left today.
Zifan also thinks so, and feels that Guo Tu just made a blank promise.
Only Chen Yi thinks that there is a drama in this matter, after all, the eldest brother's martial arts are seen by others, as long as he is too knowledgeable, Guo Tu can also get a credit for recruiting talents.
Xu Chu listened to what everyone said, and he was also up and down. But they were all open-minded people, and it didn't take long for them to talk happily about other things. Xu Chu knew the importance of these people to him, and deliberately guided them to talk about the past, so as to understand their strengths and weaknesses. I didn't want to hear Zifan talk about Chen Yi, it turned out that Chen Yi had read some books before.
"In the past, my family had a lot of assets, so I was asked to go to school. It's a pity that I don't have this talent, and later I followed my eldest brother to learn martial arts, and I never read a bird word. Chen Yi said self-deprecatingly.
Everyone laughed, Xu Chu was helpless, this pot could also be thrown on him.
As soon as it dawned tomorrow morning, someone came to spread the word of Tai Shou, and Xu Chu and others entered the mansion with Runan Xu Chu and others.
