Guo Jia came, and said: "Zhongkang, Jia Ke is not Xu Yuanzhi." ”

Xu Chu smiled bitterly when he heard it, Guo Fengxiao was in Yanling, which was quite a bit of 'getting by'. "In this case, please drink a few cups of filial piety."

Guo Jia has the ambition to swallow clouds and spit out fog, and the small Yanling County is just a stepping stone in his eyes. Xu Chu understands this very well, and if he wants to keep Guo Jia, whether he can show his 'unimaginable' strength in the next match against He Yi is the key.

But seeing Guo Jia smiled, "Jia joked, Zhong Kang is not strange, there is something to discuss with Zaixia, but it is." ”

Xu Chu told him about the promotion of officials, and hoped that Guo Jia could be the chief examiner and properly arrange his position.

Guo Jia shook his head, "How can Jia get involved in this matter that Zhang Deran is in. ”

"Deran, he ......"

"Zhong Kang is still worried about the marriage of the Zhang family?" Guo Jia's expression was playful.

Xu Chu heaved and acquiesced.

"After the Zhang family's famous family, Xu Zhongkang is worthy of you. You see that the soldiers and horses you have increased are largely due to the support of the Zhang family, how can you turn your face and deny people so quickly? You have to accept it if it is reasonable. Guo Jia's words are heavier than Xu Shu's, which means that if you Xu Chu refuses Zhang Feng, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you will be ungrateful, and it is not easy to say whether you are worthy of the Venerable Master.

Xu Chu sighed, the way marriage is treated in this era is obviously contrary to the concept he used to take root in his heart, there is no way, let's follow the customs.

"I sent a self-study book to Zhang's house, but the marriage still had to be slow. At present, the great enemy must not slack off. Xu Chu said.

Early the next morning, Xu Chu just sent a messenger to Zhang's house, and Xu Shu walked with a big black circle under his eyes, saying that there was a wave of people from outside the county government, all of whom were big families in the county, and asked to see Xu Chu.

Xu Chu saw that Xu Shu was tired, thinking that he had handled the county's affairs for him until late at night last night, he felt guilty and said apologetically: "Yuan Zhi, I ...... yesterday."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "The lord doesn't need to say much, Shu understands." ”

Xu Chu's heart was warm, and he smiled, so he went to the gate of the county government to welcome everyone in. routinely appeased everyone, and the big families patted their chests and promised that they were willing to work for Xu Chu and provide people and food; Xu Chu then encouraged, promising that as long as he was in Yanling for a day, your benefits would be indispensable, and it would not be long before he dispersed.

There was no response to the official document sent to Taishou Mansion about Pang Shang's uncle and nephew, but Xu Chu didn't have time to wait, so he called Pang Zhan and transferred him from the county Chengshu History to the ministry Caolai, so that he could take over Pang Shang's original work first, and be responsible for arranging spring plowing and other matters.

……

Zhang's house.

Zhang Feng held the letter sent by Xu Chu in his hand and paced back and forth in the room. He is a county gongcao, and he asked for leave to go home on the first day of his tenure, in addition to some miscellaneous things in the house, but also because Xu Chu was ambiguous about his willingness to marry, he had to report the matter to Zhang Taigong.

Mrs. Zhang's meaning is very clear: Young people, it's normal to be unacceptable at first, didn't you shout when you asked you to marry a wife? It won't take long to figure it out.

As expected, Xu Chu figured it out after a long time, and sent a letter over, saying that he was too frightened at first, afraid that he would not be worthy of the daughter of your mansion, and now the situation in Yanling County is very critical, and it is not the time to handle the marriage, so it is better to wait for the yellow scarf to be repulsed, and then act according to the etiquette.

These words are beautiful, and they are also very much Zhang Feng's heart, he has been slandering his father This time it is too reckless, Xu Chu is in a delicate position after all, and he has fulfilled the expectations of the county for him, which is naturally very good; What if it fails? Our Zhang family is so tightly tied to him, isn't it self-inflicted, what if he dies in battle? Is it true that a daughter is widowed as soon as she gets married? Of course, Zhang Feng will only think about it in his heart, after all, the old lady is still the head of the family, and no one in the Zhang family can change his decision.

"Father."

"Ying'er, you're here." Zhang Feng stopped his thoughts and looked at his daughter Zhang Ying. Hey, this kid is dressed as a man again......

"Just came back from outside?"

"Well, it's boring at home, so I'll take Cui'er for a casual stroll."

Zhang Feng pretended to be angry and said, "Nonsense! Don't do it again next time, if you meet an outlaw......"

Zhang Ying interrupted: "Father, my daughter has been practicing swords since she was a child, and a few thieves can still deal with it, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Zhang Feng sighed, not only did his daughter look like his deceased wife carved out of the same mold, but her temper was also exactly the same.

"Ying'er, I called you over because I have something to discuss with you."

"Father, please speak."

"For the father and for your grandfather...... We've got you covered. Zhang Feng looked at his daughter and said, "It's Xu Chu, the new Yanling County Commander." ”

Zhang Ying noticed a little reluctance in her father's words, and said with a shallow smile: "My daughter understands that it is all up to the adults in the family to decide. ”

The more well-behaved she is, the more reluctant Zhang Feng is, "I didn't expect that the dignified Yanling Zhang family would let you be a weak woman to bear the future together." ”

Zhang Ying suddenly remembered the person she met yesterday, who said that he was going to marry a woman he had never met before, and she was going to marry a man she had never met immediately.

"Father, you don't have to worry about family affairs, you are a county gongcao, and you have heavy responsibilities, so you should go to the county government office as soon as possible."

Zhang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, now that the county is in ruins, and there is an urgent need for manpower, Xu Jun is about to help select some capable officials for his father." Ying'er, how good it would be if you were a man, so that your talent would not be buried. ”

Zhang Ying shook her head gently, she didn't want to be a bearded eyebrow.

"It's better to ......," she suddenly had a bold idea.

……

……

Xu Chu has no experience in actually leading troops, but he is sure of one thing, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, it will definitely not work. The brothers he could rely on were also novices like him, but in recent times, some of the talents of the Gong brothers, Zifan, and Wang Yan have also been discovered.

Zifan is reckless, but he is brave and not afraid of death, and his martial arts are on the rise, so he can be used as a pioneer in the future; Wang Yan has a chivalrous style, has the best relationship with soldiers, and he is born more dignified, the most suitable for governing military discipline, and of course he can also go into battle to kill the enemy.

As for the Gong family brothers...... Xu Chu frowned, these two people are very difficult. The eldest brother Gong Yan is ordinary, and he is a good gentleman, so he is not very useful; Gong Su is calm and resolute, but his heart is too ruthless, he once heard Chen Yi say: Gong Su is too strict with the soldiers, a few soldiers violated the military order and secretly drank, after being discovered by Gong Su, he ordered fifty rods, and was almost killed, and the amount of training under his men every day was twice as much as others.

Xu Chu sat down in the big tent, and the brothers of the palace family came hand in hand, and they worshiped when they met.

"My own brother, save the number of courtesies you can save." Xu Chu helped the two of them up and asked, "Are you still used to life in the army?" ”

"Serving the lord, there is nothing that I am not used to." The two spoke in unison.

It didn't take long for Zifan Wang Yan to arrive, and after subduing Haoqiang, the military camp in the west of the city was completely controlled by Xu Chu, and the four people in the tent, except for Gong Yan, were obviously the henchmen and generals that Xu Chu could rely on at this stage.
