Chapter 44: The Imperial Capital Rises in the Storm, and Yingchuan is the New Overlord (2)
Many people don't pay attention to the name, and sometimes they really don't need to pay attention to it, just find an excuse.
But Xu Shu thinks that the prestige of the Han family is still there, and his point of view is that if there is no reasonable reason, it is not appropriate to use the sword lightly.
Xu Chu rubbed his eyebrows and tried to say, "Maybe you can send troops in the name of defending against the yellow turban thieves of Huang Shao's department?" He also said casually, the purpose is to throw bricks and attract jade.
Guo Jia disagreed, this reason was too far-fetched, and to dominate Yingchuan, the most important thing was not to use soldiers, but to gain the support of the Yingchuan clan. Only when the scholars support Xu Chu can Xu Chu be invincible.
In Guo Jia's eyes, there are three main notable scholars in Yingchuan: the Yingyin Xun clan, the Changshe Zhong clan, and the Xuxian Chen clan. These three families are authentic families, and even if the Yanling Zhang family is extremely prosperous, it cannot be compared with the Xun, Zhong, and Chen families.
I know a lot about Xun Xu Chu, but it is limited to the deeds of Xun Yu, Xun You, Xun Shuang, Zhong Yu in the Zhong family, he can be regarded as knowing, as for the Xu County Chen family, he can't remember any celebrities.
But he saw Guo Jiahu say to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi said before that he went to Changshe to study in his early years, so you can tell the lord about the Zhong family." ”
Xu Shu smiled wryly and nodded, for him, it was a painful memory, because his apprenticeship under Zhong Yu was rejected by Zhong Yu (Note 1).
"The situation of the Zhong family is somewhat similar to that of the Zhang family in this county, but the Zhong family has sufficient background, and there is a talent like Zhong Yuanchang, which is much better than the situation of the Zhang family."
Xu Shu obviously knows a lot about the Zhong family, and tells Xu Chu the ins and outs of the Zhong family like a few family treasures. Zhong Hao's great-grandfather, Zhong Hao, was a world-famous Confucian, and the imperial court recruited him as an official nine times, but he was politely rejected, so he was considered to be virtuous, and Chen Yu, Xun Shu, and Han Shao were called the four chiefs of Yingchuan. The glory of the Zhong family in the Eastern Han Dynasty began with Zhong Hao. But since Zhong Hao, there have been no great talents for two generations, and it was not until Zhong Xuan was used by Yin Xiu as Cao Peng, the county's merit, that he could be regarded as raising his eyebrows. Zhong Xuan also has two younger brothers, Zhong Yan and Zhong Jin, Zhong Yan has literary talents, Zhong Jin is martial, and they are all idle in the wilderness. Now the backbone of the Zhong family has gradually changed from Zhong Yu, Zhong Xuan's patriarch, to Zhong Xuan himself, and he can make a fuss from his two younger brothers.
Therefore, Xu Shu's suggestion is that if you want to plan Yingchuan County according to Guo Jia's plan, you should use a strategy to win over the Zhong family.
Guo Jia clapped his hands and smiled: "Yuan Zhijin is three points, which coincides with Jia." ”
Xu Chu straightened his sore waist, Xu Shu said quickly, he seemed to understand it, so he said: "Please write it down directly, I will read it carefully in a while." ”
Xu Shu took the order, took the pen and ink, and made eye contact with Guo Jia, both of whom were pleased. Xu Chu, as their lord, is quite brave, but he comes from a humble background, and his knowledge is even worse, but he is willing to learn, willing to ask, never knows how to pretend to understand, and has great respect for talents, and it can be seen that he respects from the heart.
In the eyes of Guo Jia and Xu Shu, the most important thing as a human master is to know people well, be humble and accept words, so that the talents of the civil and military generals under them can be brought into play. It is based on this that both of them feel that Xu Chu can achieve a career in the future.
"The Chen clan of Xu County should also start from Yuan Zhi, one of the four elders of Yingchuan - Chen Yu, right?" Xu Chu asked, and Guo Jia would solve the puzzle this time.
"That's right, Chen Yu once served as a county merit for four times, Yuzhou for five, and then opened the general's mansion, when the disaster of the party (Note 2), he was imprisoned in Bishan for 20 years, and everyone in the world took him as an example. Later, the resumption of Taiqiu long, to the virtue of the political county, the name of the Qing Dynasty spread far and wide, when Li Ying and many other celebrities have studied under his door, two years ago at his funeral, there are more than 30,000 people who came to mourn, Xun Shuang, Han Rong and other high-ranking officials are wearing linen and wearing filial piety, with the descendants of the ceremony, it can be seen that its prestige is long. ”
He also said that Chen Yu's sons Chen Ji and Chen Chen were all virtuous celebrities, and the court made them officials, but they did not agree on the grounds of corruption in the court. After Chen Yu's death, his political resources were transferred to Chen Ji and Chen Chen, and the lambs and geese were flocked, and they were honored in the world.
Finally, when it comes to Chen Qun, Xu Chu woke up like a dream, and it turned out that Chen Qun, the founder of the famous Jiupin Zhongzheng System, was Chen Ji's son. Chen Qun was young and famous, and he was also introduced as a confidant by Kong Rong, a famous man who was known for his arrogance, and his reputation was no longer under his father.
Xu Chu sighed: "The Chen family is so prominent, how can we enter its eyes." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Of course, Chen's eyes are higher than the top, how can he be subservient." When dealing with them, you need to lower your profile, and you can even take them as the leader. ”
Xu Chu snorted, headed by the Chen family? How can that be. This kind of behavior that makes others disgusting themselves must not be done.
Guo Jia persuaded and said: "It's just for show, although the Chen family has a high reputation, they don't have a private army, they have no fame but no strength, in fact, the lord has the final say." ”
Xu Chu understood Guo Jia's intentions, and treated the Zhong family mainly to win over; To treat Chen, we should lower our posture and use each other first. And what about Xun's? Xun's reputation is not under Chen's, so what?
Guo Jia said frankly: "The Wei Xun clan is the most difficult and the most critical. Xun Shenjun (Xun Shu's word) is a virtuous person with eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Shuang has a reputation for being merciful and unparalleled, he and Xun Yu and Xun Yu are now all in the center of Luoyang, if the lord does not want to try to create some reasons, with Xun's current status in the court, he will definitely disdain to cooperate with us. ”
Xu Shu saw a trace of coldness in Guo Jia's expression, and his heart was uneasy, and said: "Fengxiao, this matter can be discussed in the long run, and don't be anxious." ”
"Not really." Guo Jia said categorically, "Turning things around has to be a dangerous strategy." At that moment, he whispered the plan, Xu Chu lost his color, and Xu Shu's face turned pale.
Xu Chu thought for a long time, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and asked, "Who can take on this great responsibility?" ”
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Lord, maybe you can think about it again?" ”
Xu Chu pressed Xu Shu's shoulder, "No need, what you and I plan today will definitely be common in the future, and I can't mind." ”
After speaking, he looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia said: "The thief Cao Chen Yi has the courage and strategy, but he can go to the south of the county." ”
Xu Chu nodded, this task is very dangerous, but only Chen Yi can take on it.
Guo Jia's strategy is simply four words: lure the wolf into the room. The wolf is Huang Shao who wanders in the south of the county, Xu Chu not only does not crusade against him, but also tries every possible way to persuade him to fight Yang Zhai, who is guarding the emptiness.
Yang Zhai's garrison was empty, and Huang Shao didn't know that he was being chased by the main force of Yingchuan County's soldiers, and was about to go to Runan to defect to Liu Pi. If someone ran to him at this time and said: There are 1,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhai, and the soldiers in the nearby county town are almost consumed by He Yi, will Huang Shao make a dangerous move and rush to Yangzhai with his head covered?
It's hard to say, but there's a chance it will.
Guo Jia hopes that Huang Shao will do this, as long as Huang Shao comes, the northern part of Yingchuan will fall into chaos again, and everyone in Yingyin, Changshe, and Xu County will be in danger, and Xu Chu will have a chance.
In addition, Guo Jia also added an insurance, he asked Xu Chu and Xu Shu, "Have you ever heard of the Jinfan thief?" ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Xu Chu was startled from the banquet.
He had heard of the Jinfan thief, the brave general who put the phrase "As soon as he heard the bell ringing, he knew that Uncle Ben was coming" was one of Xu Chu's favorite generals.
It's just that this person is far away in Ba County, how could Guo Jia know?
But listening to Guo Jiayan: "A few days ago, I received a letter from a friend in Jingzhou, talking about interesting stories in the state, and mentioned that Gan Ning, who is known as a sail thief in Ba County, wanted to take refuge in the assassin Wang Rui, and was furious after Wang Rui refused, and took 800 of his men to loot everywhere, and is now entrenched in the lower reaches of Weishui. Or you can secretly contact ......"
"This person has to get!" Xu Chu's sudden voice startled Guo Jia.

Note 1: The scholars monopolized the career by monopolizing knowledge, and almost every family had their own set of family learning, which was not easily passed on. If a child of a poor family comes to study, some kind of agreement must be reached so that the children of a poor family can use the number of officials in their hands to repay after becoming officials.
Note 2: The disaster of the party is a unique product of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is that the scholars who opposed the eunuch dictatorship were imprisoned and not allowed to be officials after the defeat, a total of two times. And after the imprisoned party members were released, almost everyone's reputation increased, such as Liu Biao.
