Chapter 16 Arrival in Shu County
Xu Chu really wants to replace the county orders and governors of the counties, even if they don't change all of them, several important places must be replaced by his own people.
His mind can't hide from Xi Zhong, nor can he hide from the sophisticated Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi paced back and forth in the room, suffering from the fact that there was no one to talk to. This time to welcome Xu Chu back to the county, the county officials came a lot, but only he and Yao Sheng came who had a heavy responsibility-as Xu Chu said with a smile, the autumn harvest and preparation for Kou are important events and cannot be delayed, so Xie Zhen, the main bookkeeper, and the young officials Xu Chu attaches more importance to He Zhen, Youzhou Shizi Zhao, and Shi Lu did not accompany him.
Zhou Yi was praised by the county people as the county wang, and now he and Xie Zhen have become the spokespeople of Yangzhou scholars in Lujiang County, Xu Chu appointed Xun Yu and Xin Bi as the superintendent of the post, and it is impossible for him not to worry about this. In the counties of the county, the vast majority of the officials are from the scholars and Haoyou families of the county, but the people who supervise them now are famous people from other places, and it can be expected that after the news spreads, the officials in the county will not be able to sleep well for several days.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock at the door, but it was his son Zhou Yu who came to ask for peace.
Zhou Yi sighed and said his worries, Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "Father is thinking about it, don't you smell the skin and not have hair?" β
Zhou Yi said bitterly: "How can a father not know this truth? We must keep in mind that we scholars should not only look at the years in front of us, but also consider the next hundred years...... Xun Wenruo and Xin Gezhi are all from famous families and are valued by the monarch and marquis, not only that, but Guo Fengxiao, Xi Zhicai, Xu Yuanzhi and others, although they are from a cold family, are also a threat to us. If you don't plan early, in less than ten years, will this Lujiang County still be the Lujiang County of our Lujiang Shi clan? β
Zhou Yu retorted: "Father's statement is fallacious! He participated in military affairs every day, learned military strategy, and hid a map in his arms, so he immediately took it out, laid it on the desk, and pointed: "Father, please see, where the state capital of Jiujiang County is located, Uncle Chen is mediocre and has no ambitions; The people of Danyang County are fierce, but it is a pity that Zhou Danyang is too rigid and makes enemies on all sides; In the rich land of Wu County, Sheng Taishou was put on the shelf by the officials and the county nobles; There is a rebellion in Huiji County, and the people's hearts are unstable, so there is no need to worry; Yuzhang County is too loyal to Lu Gong's temperament and wisdom, but he is dying and old, and he has no time for a few years...... Father, Xu Hou Xiong according to Lujiang, Wen Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhong, Yao Sheng, Xin Bi and other talented people, Wu Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Le Jin, Li Quan, Li Tong and other brave generals, if our Zhou family wholeheartedly assisted Xu Hou to sweep Jiangdong, although not necessarily able to win the Central Plains, the recovery of the Han Dynasty, but according to the Yangtze River to defend themselves, but it is more than enough. At that time, not only Lujiang, but the whole Yangzhou will be under the rule of Xu Hou, why should my father be entangled in the gains and losses of one county and one place? β
Zhou Yi was silent when he heard this, although he felt that his son thought too easily, but he still agreed with Zhou Yu's words. Looking at it, there is a huge Yangzhou, and there are indeed few heroes who can be compared with Xu Chu.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Two days later, Xu Chu led the former army to arrive in Zhishu County.
On the wall of Shu County, the people who came to watch did not know how many.
A man dressed as a scholar said to his companions: "Have you heard, I heard that the prince of the palace not only recovered the divine capital and returned victoriously on this expedition, but also fought lily with the flying general of the state on the battlefield, regardless of victory or defeat." β
"What is this?" One person suddenly said, "If it weren't for the fact that Fu Jun's mount was a little worse, even Lu Bu might not be able to please him, Jun didn't hear about Dagu Pass, and Fu Jun rode into the dust, and beheaded Hu Chi'er, the fierce general of Dong Jun, with only one knife?" It's a pity that my father is still alive in my family, otherwise I would have learned from that class to devote a pen to Rong, and fight on the battlefield with the king, wouldn't it be beautiful! β
Regarding Xu Chu's deeds, from Luoyang to Lujiangkou, it has changed. Folklore has always been exaggerated, after the story reached Lujiang, in the eyes of the ordinary people of the county, Xu Chu was already the pillar of the country of Wenneng Anbang and Wu Neng Dingguo.
The group of people was talking to themselves, when suddenly someone shouted behind them: "Get out of the way, Mrs. Taishou is here!" β
Several armor soldiers opened the way, and everyone gave way when they heard the words, and a slender woman Lianbu lightly entered everyone's sight, it was Xu Chu's wife Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying is extremely young, and in later life, she is still in high school, but since marrying Xu Chu, her temperament has slowly changed, from a girl with a jumpy temperament, and gradually became a generous housewife.
Zhang Ying was surrounded by armor, and the stars welcomed her to the edge of the female wall like a moon.
The letter from the Zhang clan to move to Shu County was received by Zhang Ying early. At this time, looking at the long queue outside the city, she couldn't help but feel impatient, and Xi Zhong's wife smiled on the side: "Master, please look, isn't that the prince?" β
I saw that at the front of the team, there was a tall horse, with bright armor, and a black cloak on a red background fluttering in the wind.
After meeting a cadre at the city gate, Xu Chu went to the county government. The landscape on the county capital avenue in Shu County has not changed much from before the expedition, the only difference is that the exterior walls of each Pengsha have been repainted and look brand new.
Hearing Xie Zhenbao, since Xu Chu left the county, the county dynasty has always adhered to the attitude that more things are better than less, so although the dragons have no leader, they have finally passed this period of Xu Chu's absence. Xu Chu was concerned about the autumn harvest and the preparation of the two major events, after Yao Sheng returned to the county ahead of schedule, he also began to prepare, and now the county has allocated a certain amount of cattle and grain to distribute to the counties, and the counties are up to the county commanders, chiefs, down to pavilion chiefs, and lieutenant chiefs, all of whom are also actively cooperating with the preparations.
ββThe three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were riding on horses, and they were very surprised by the bustling crowd of onlookers on the side of the road. He raised his whip and pointed at the crowd, and said to Jian Yong: "Xianhe, the power of the first war, is so great!" It's a pity that Bogui would rather stay in Youbeiping to fight with foreign clans than send thousands of elites to participate in the fight against Dong, otherwise, why would I be like this! β
This is not the first time Liu Bei has lamented his luck, before he lamented that his background was not noble enough, and this time he lamented that Gongsun Chan was unwilling to send troops to attack Dong, Jian Yong, who heard this, naturally knew Liu Bei's unwillingness.
Jian Yong said: "Xuande, Jun is not a thing of a pond fish, after begging Dong, why did he follow Xu Hou to Lujiang?" The world is so big, it's not just a place for Hou here. Moreover, Xu Hou has a lot of talents, and if you want to get ahead, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. β
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Although the world is big, how many people know heroes?" Xianhe, instead of running into walls everywhere in other people, it is better to try your skills in Lujiang, I believe that with our ability, as long as Xu Hou is willing to give me a county of land, I will be able to stand out! β
Jian Yong sighed twice. In fact, he persuaded Liu Bei to leave Xu Chu several times and go elsewhere, and recommended two places to him - one is Jingzhou and the other is Xuzhou.
Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, is a gentle elder, and he is a relative of the Han family, and has some contact with Liu Bei, the 'Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang', he is now about to start a war with Yuan Shu, and it is the time when heroic heroes are needed to defect, and he must not miss Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
As for Xuzhou, Thorn Shi Taoqian was born in the army, and he attached great importance to warriors who dared to fight, such as the Taishan giant Zangba, who was regarded as a captain, occupying the country of Langya and doing things with the country. Tao Qian should also reuse Liu Bei.
However, if Liu Bei didn't listen, Jian Yong had no choice. But in the final analysis, there are pros and cons to doing things under Xu Chu, Jian Yong said before the drawbacks, Xu Chu is full of talents, and it is not easy to get ahead, and the favorable aspects, judging from what Xu Chu has always done, he must not be willing to live in a county, and he will fight everywhere in the future, and there is an opportunity for Liu Bei to make contributions.
Thinking so, Jian Yong followed the team to the county mansion, but after seeing Xu Chu enter the county mansion, Dian Wei, the fierce general beside him, suddenly turned around and walked towards them, and said, "Liu Jun, the prince invites you to come in for a while." β
