Chapter 21 Determining Yanling (1)
Xu Chuwaner, Guo Jia also has a sense of humor. After chatting a few words, Chen Yi brought wine and wanted to serve it for Guo Jiaman.
"Wait!" Xu Chu stopped, causing Guo Chen and the others to look at him suspiciously.
"Ayi step aside, I'll pour wine for Fengxiao." Xu Chu said.
"Whoa." Chen Yi stepped back as he said.
Guo Jia covered the wine glass with his hand and said, "How dare you work hard." ”
Xu Chu said: "I have a request for filial piety, why not pour a glass of wine?" Guo Jia no longer insisted and accepted it calmly. Xu Chu was also full for himself, saluted Guo Jia, and said: "There is a question Xu Chu wants to ask Feng Xiao first, this time, is Feng Xiao going to be a member or just doing a little panhuan?" ”
Xu Chu didn't believe that with his current status and strength, Guo Jia would be like, so he couldn't help but wonder how Xun Yu said that Guo Jia would come to Yanling.
"Since Zhong Kang asked, Jia naturally told the truth." Guo Jia said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of your blame, if it weren't for Xun Wenruo's lobbying several times, I wouldn't want to come to Yan Ling." Wen Ruo advised me to try it out and see how capable I was, but I was so excited by this that I couldn't think about it for a while. ”
This is too shameless. Xu Chu was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for being honest and honest." ”
Xu Chu observes Guo Jia, and Guo Jia is also observing Xu Chu. After a few words, Guo Jia's impression of Xu Chu is not bad, at least this person's temper is okay, like a person who will adopt other people's opinions.
"Wen Ruo is too busy to talk to me about the situation in Yanling, Zhong Kang might as well tell me about your difficulties first." Guo Jia is quick to talk, and he doesn't like to procrastinate, and he wants to get straight to the point.
Xu Chu wished that this was the case, his current military rations were only enough to eat for ten days, and the fire burned his eyebrows. asked Guo Jia to wait for a while, and asked Chen Yi to call Xu Shu.
Xu Shu came, saluted after seeing Guo Jia, and sat down in the banquet.
Xu Chu introduced the two to each other and said: "Yuan Zhi, Fengxiao is extremely intelligent, you tell us all about our difficulties, don't hide anything." ”
Brilliant intelligence? Xu Shu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It is not difficult to understand that now he is the only wise man in Xu Chu's camp, so he regards himself as the mastermind, and when he hears Xu Chu praise others in front of him, he can't help but feel a pimple in his heart.
Xu Shu said in his heart: I want to see what you Guo Jianeng has a clever plan. So I told everything I knew. Xu Shu was articulate and organized, and after saying something, Xu Guo and the others nodded.
Guo Jia first praised: "Brother Xu explained the messy things in a few words, and admired and admired." ”
Xu Shu laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Dacai, please tell Xu Shu how to deal with it." ”
"Actually, it's easy, the two of you are in the game, and you don't know it." Guo Jia said with a smile, Xu Shu hid a needle in his words, he could hear it, and looking at Xu Chu and his demeanor, he should be quite serious to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu saw that Guo Jia's expression was relaxed, and he spoke loudly, and he didn't like it even more.
"Please advise!"
Xu Chu smelled the smell of gunpowder, and said softly: "Fengxiao, please say, I will listen to you." ”
"Okay." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Do you know why north of Yingchuan, Yanling is the most seriously affected by thieves?" ”
Xu Shu snorted coldly, "Sir, don't tease us, Yanling is the closest to Weishui, the thieves can advance or retreat, and the officials and soldiers are unable to cross the water to attack them, that's all." ”
Xu Chu glanced at Xu Shu and felt that although what Xu Shu said was right, he seemed to have missed something.
Guo Jia said: "This is one of them." ”
Xu Shu clasped his fingers tightly and asked, "Dare to ask other reasons?" ”
Guo Jiadao: "In the counties north of Yingchuan, there is the Xun family in Yingyin, the Zhong family in the Changshe, the officials for generations, the crown covers the wealthy family, and there are two families active in the county today. Therefore, no matter how the yellow turbans are raging in these two counties, they will not be harmed at all. On the other hand, Yanling, there was a wealthy Zhang family, but since Guangwu, the talents in the clan have gradually withered, so Yanling was despised by the imperial court, and the thieves were not stupid, so they naturally avoided the important and light, and invaded Yanling every time. ”
Xu Chu and Xu Shu looked at each other, and their hearts turned out to be like this. Xu Chu asked: "What does that have to do with the predicament of the county?" ”
Xu Shu touched the bypass and woke up: "No wonder when Han Zong was here, these powerful people were all attached to Han Zong, and then gathered around Pang Shang. It was really too disappointed in the imperial court, and could only hold together to defend the common interests. ”
"Yes, yes." Guo Jia said, "So the county monarch must know that your opponent is not Pang Shang, but the strong in the county." Pang Shang's talent is limited, Han Zong couldn't get rid of it when he was there, and now he is being coerced and used by Haoqiang without knowing it, and mediocrity is nothing to worry about. ”
Xu Chu shook his wine glass, he couldn't keep up with the thinking of the two. Xu Shu and Guo Jia's words were initially digested, and they should have reached the key point, but for Xu Chu, there was a layer of window paper. Seeing that Xu Shu was closing his eyes and pondering, Xu Chu didn't want to make himself look particularly unwise, so he deliberately said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi seems to be inspired, it's better to say it and see if it's the same as what I think." ”
Xu Shu opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "Let's let Mr. Fengxiao say it." The words were much more polite than just now.
In fact, Guo Jia is not completely sure at the moment, he came to Xu Chu, on the one hand, because of Xun Yu, on the other hand, he had the idea of trying his own learning in Yanling, after all, he has never used a trick so far. At the same time, if he can help Xu Chu keep Yan Ling, his reputation will also rise, and when the world changes, he will have a greater capital to vote for the Ming Lord.
After taking a deep breath, Guo Jia stretched out three fingers and said, "There are three things." ”
…………
"This is Zhang's Mansion."
Zhang's mansion is not big, there is a row of locust trees planted at the door, the flowering period is far away, lush, in the eyes of Xu Chu's descendants, it looks even more antique.
Xu Shu knocked on the door, and after a while, the porter opened the door of the house, and saw Xu Chu and Xu Shu wearing official uniforms with seals, and asked humbly: "Who is the honored guest?" ”
"We are entrusted by Yingyin Xunwenruo to visit your mansion Zhang Taigong." This was naturally discussed in advance, and I was afraid that the Zhang family would not wait to see Xu Chu, the new parent official, so I accepted Xun Yu's instructions under the pretext.
The first of the three things Guo Jia said yesterday was about Yanling Zhang. Although the Zhang family is no longer in its prime, its family history is not comparable to that of ordinary small families. If Xu Qi has an important position and Chen talks about the benefits, according to Guo Jia's judgment, there should be an opportunity to move them to Xu Chu's side.
The porter asked Xu Chu and the others to wait and turn around to report to the head of the family. Xu Chu suddenly became puzzled and asked Xu Shu: "As Guan Fengxiao said, Zhang's ability is not small, why haven't I seen anything done before." ”
Xu Shu understood that Xu Chu was asking about the Zhang family, why it was the Han family who came out before, and now it is an outsider Pang Shang.
"The people who have been crowned for generations are arrogant in the world, and they don't want to sit on an equal footing with the small people in the countryside."
Xu Chu smiled, just like a bureaucratic family looking down on the 'nouveau riche', even if the family is in the middle of the road, they are not willing to associate with these people. What about Xu Chu? Will the Zhang family look the other way and let him convince?
