Xu Chu, who was waiting for time in the house, was a little nervous in his heart, what the final result would be. The next day, Bao Xin returned to Taishan County with righteousness, and news came out from the palace that another group of more than 1,000 people rode from the west of the city into Luoyang City.

For two days in a row, about 1,000 reinforcements entered the city, and Yuan Shao did not dare to act rashly.

Xu Chu had a little impression of this matter, it seemed that Dong Zhuo had a slight trick to let his troops go out of the city disguised as ordinary people at night, and change into military uniforms and enter the city with great fanfare the next morning. Because of his vague impression, Xu Chu was not sure, so he would not go to Yuan Shao to say. Even if he said it, Yuan Shao, who is like a 'frightened bird', may still have no effect between believing it and not believing it.

It is also worth mentioning that someone on Yuan Shu's side suggested that Yuan Shu invite Xu Chu to the banquet. As a result, Yuan Shu said a sentence to show his attitude - in his lifetime, he had never heard of who Xu Chu was.

Naked contempt.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's words were said in front of all the party henchmen, and he was not afraid of reaching Xu Chu's ears at all.

Xu Chu could only smile bitterly. Yuan Shu's arrogance was famous in the late Han Dynasty, and the disagreement between him and Yuan Shao's two brothers affected the overall situation of the world. For Yuan Shu to look down on him, Xu Chu had no fluctuations in his heart. Because Yuan Shu not only looked down on him, but also looked down on people including Yuan Shao, who was famous all over the world, Cao Cao, who was a masterpiece in the world, and Liu Bei, who had not yet made a career and was also a hero in the late Han Dynasty.

To use a popular phrase that Xu Chu is familiar with to appropriately express Yuan Shu's inner world, it should be that sentence: I, Yuan Shu, am not aimed at anyone, I mean that everyone here is rubbish......

Yuan Shu's matter is just a small episode, and Yuan Shao's side is the main event. On the evening of that day, after Yuan Shao returned to Taifu's mansion, he immediately asked Gao Gan to invite Xu Chu to the house.

Gao Gan found Xu Chu and came up to congratulate: "Zhongkang, Si Li is invited, it seems that your matter has been settled." ”

Xu Chu was overjoyed in his heart, pretending to be light-hearted, and replied calmly: "Thanks to Yuancai and Meng De's good words." ”

Gao Gan shook his head and said: "What Zhongkang said, if it weren't for your repeated contributions, Si Li would not have taken my words to Cao Mengde to heart." In the end, you earned it on your own. This is both polite and true. If it weren't for Xu Chu's policy of 'getting close to Yuan Shao' after arriving in Luoyang, actively responding to the attack on Gong Province, and confronting Dong Zhuo at the foot of the mountain, how could Yuan Shao be too guarded with a newly emerging and unjustified 'Two Thousand Stones' martial artist.

He Jin died, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, a series of changes led to a major reshuffle of the imperial court pattern, and the counties of Tianxia were also affected, and they will also experience a small personnel reorganization.

Xu Chu, who followed Gao Gan to see Yuan Shao, couldn't help but admire Guo Jia and Xi Zhong's foresight. They seemed to have anticipated this possibility for a long time, and strongly suggested that Xu Chu reorganize his private songs, no longer use official positions and positions as weapons to attract talents, but set out to build a team that is completely loyal to himself. That's why Xu Chu used the children of the Zhang clan, and then asked Guo Jia to go to Jiangxia Pingchun to recruit Li Tong and Chen Gong, and after arriving in Yu County, he left Dian Wei there to recruit heroes in Jiwu County.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Xu Chu in Luoyang City achieves nothing, with the original team of Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Wang Yan, Gong Su, and Chen Yi, plus the newly recruited heroes, it is enough to try to seek a career in the troubled times. It's just that in that case, the starting point will be lower, and the difficulty will be greater.

When he came to Yuan Shao's house, Xu Chu met Yuan Shao first.

Yuan Shao's mood in recent days has not been very good, and after seeing Xu Chu, he barely squeezed out a little smile, and said: "Meng De and Yuan Cai both said that Qing is righteous, and I think so." Zhongkang, fortunately, the Son of Heaven also appreciates you, not only let Qing get a county guard, but also make a marquis for you! ”

Yes? Marquis?! And it's sealed by the Son of Heaven!

Xu Chu was stunned, and said in his heart: Does the Son of Heaven have the ability or courage to speak for him Xu Chu in the court?

Yuan Shao saw Xu Chu's surprise and explained: "Not only the Son of Heaven, but also the Queen Mother also said a few words for Qing. ”

Xu Chu was even more strange. After thinking about it, maybe Dong Zhuo hadn't completely set up Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven at this time, after all, he hadn't been in Luoyang for a long time, and his main opponent was Yuan Shao's group of scholars. So much so that the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven were still able and dared to speak out in the court, and unexpectedly took Dong Zhuo's army.

At that time, Dong Zhuo's mood must have been surprised and annoyed.

Xu Chu's thoughts were mixed, staring at his toes in a daze and not speaking, Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Qing doesn't ask who he is to be named and what county he is from?" ”

Xu Chufang pulled his thoughts back, and said with shame: "Let Si Li see and smile, and ask Si Li to tell me." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Zhaowu Hou, Lujiang is too guarded." ”

Xu Chu touched his face extremely indecently, licked his lips and said, "Si Li's great grace, Chu is toothless and unforgettable!" ”

Rao is Yuan Shao pretended to be the city government, and when he saw Xu Chu's very unnatural movements, he still laughed a few times, thinking: Xu Chu is brave and brave, just and strong, but he is just a young man in his twenties.

After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Chu never dared to forget his identity as an 'outsider', so he behaved as much as possible and tried not to make people feel rude, especially in front of a famous 'big man' like Yuan Shao, how could he let himself lose his temper?

It was really the two place names of Zhaowu and Lujiang that made him a little disappointed.

The marquis of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Chu has already been familiar with some scholars he knows, and there are three levels: county, township, and pavilion. The three levels correspond to the county, township, and pavilion for the food yip. These three levels can be further divided into several levels, such as taking the county marquis as an example, the first class of the county eats several counties, the second class eats a large county, and the second class eats a small county, and there is another kind, or a large county, a small county, but because of the lack of merit and other reasons, can not eat all the households in the county, but set aside a part of the households as a food estate.

This is the classification of the level, in addition to the level, there is also a term in nature - fiefdom and name. The so-called fiefdom is the marquis who includes the above-mentioned 369 and so on, with food and benefits; And the name candidate only pays attention to the meaning of the marquis's name, such as the previously mentioned Bangu, who was named Dingyuan Hou by the imperial court, but it has a good name and no benefits.

Xu Chu worked hard to study the map of the Han Dynasty, and combined with the knowledge of his previous life, he knew the approximate location of most of the county names as soon as he heard it. Zhaowu? Where? I've never heard of it.

Xu Chu thought that he had won a name, but he was commended by the imperial court, and he didn't get anything cheap. But who would have thought that after Yuan Shao's detailed words, Xu Chu was not a name candidate, but a fief candidate. And it's still a county, but it turns out that Zhaowu is a county.

Xu Chu didn't ask Yuan Shao where Zhaowu County was on the spot, firstly, the price was dropped, and secondly, there was no need to ask, it must be far away from the Central Plains, otherwise he should have heard of the name of this county.

Later, I learned that Zhaowu County is located in Zhangye County, Liangzhou, located in the west, and to the west past Jiuquan County is the Western Regions, surrounded by deserts, sparsely populated, needless to say, almost none.

"It's a shame that they can come up with this county seal for me!" When Xu Chu was helpless, he could only ridicule himself. This Marquis of Zhaowu, although he is a county marquis and a fiefdom, is no different from having no food euppy. It was obstructed from it, I think it was Dong Zhuo, Dong Fat Man is really holding a grudge, Xu Chu pinched his wrist at the foot of the mountain, and he returned Xu Chu a Zhaowu County Marquis......

But listening to Yuan Shao again: "Qing doesn't know, if it weren't for our arguments, there would not even be a Marquis of Zhaowu, but a countryman." "It turned out that above the court, as soon as the words of the proposed marquis Xu Chu were spoken, Dong Zhuo wanted to make a remote township to fool the past, Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao and other henchmen did not want to be overpowered by Dong Zhuo, and they fought for it, and finally chose Zhaowu County, a fiefdom marquis with no benefits, but it can be regarded as a good meaning.

Xu Chu had the exploits of the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan, and punished Zhang Zhi, a great scourge in the eyes of the scholars, and also helped Zhao Qian and Gao Gan in Yu County, and finally arrived in Luoyang, forced Zhao Zhong to death, and welcomed back the Son of Heaven, which added up to enough to seal a marquis, although Xu Chu was a little dissatisfied with the final result, it was better than nothing. When people meet him in the future, they will at least call him 'Xu Hou' or 'Zhaowu Hou'.

Besides, the appointment of Lujiang Taishou was not unexpected by Xu Chu, Xi Zhong had already mentioned that the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang in Yangzhou were likely to be Xu Chu's next foothold.

Xi Zhong once again showed his political vision.

This place in Lujiang is definitely much worse than Yingchuan, but for Xu Chu, it may be a more suitable place.
