Chapter Seventy-Three: Soldiers Advance to Chenliu and Yuan County (1)

Xu Chu didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the military division, so he walked dozens of miles during the day, and at night he cooked and returned to Yanling County three days later.

There were no emergencies along the way, only two things that Xu Chu paid attention to.

First, Guo Jia proposed to send additional spies to the surrounding counties such as Chenliu, Dongjun, and Runan to inquire about the news. In the past, Xu Chu handed over the matter of listening to the news to Chen Yi, the head of the mansion, obviously Chen Yi's attention to this matter made Guo Jia have an opinion, and there was either no report before Xu Chu's case every day, and even if there were, it was only one or two, and it must be changed.

In addition, on the way, you can always see groups of people spying on them from afar, which should be the 'thieves rising' reported by the Zhong brothers. This time back to Yanling, 500 people escorted the property and food obtained from the Zhang family and the Huang family, and the carts stretched, attracting the prying eyes of lawbreakers, but the frequency of groups of thieves was too high, or in response to Xi Zhong's words, Yingchuan Haoqiang was stumbling Xu Chu behind his back.

In the west of Gangyan Ling City, Xu Shu was already waiting there, accompanied by Zao Yi and a subordinate official. Seeing Xu Chu's big carts and small cars lined up in a long line, everyone was surprised, and they sighed again when they learned that it was the property looted by the Zhang family and the Huang family over the years. Looking at a leaf and knowing the autumn, Yang Zhai is like this, how much has the family members of the eunuchs and magnates in the counties of the world eaten up the people's fat and people's ointment?

Without waiting for Xu Chu's order, Xu Shu and Zao Yi arranged for people to contact these carts, counted them together and stored them in the treasury.

"Xi Zhicai!?"

Zao only knew Xi Zhong, and the two had some intersection when they were in Yangzhai, and when they saw Xi Zhong following Xu Chu over, he said: "Zhicai is not appreciated by Yin Gong, and I only regret it for you." Now following Fu Jun, Zhicai is finally able to apply what he has learned in his chest. ”

Xi Zhong smiled: "Zaojun is not like this. ”

Zao Yi also laughed twice, in addition to his different backgrounds, he and Xi Zhong's life trajectories are indeed similar. The political views and talents of the two are not valued by Yin Xiu, so one is poor and destitute, and the other is a petty official. In the final analysis, the county chiefs at that time were reluctant to break away from the family and make drastic new policies, so Guo Jia, Zao You, and Xi Zhong all had a stage to display their talents after the chaos in the world.

Xu Chu picked up this big bargain, and at the same time, it also made some celebrities and celebrities impressed by his 'ingenious' employment.

than how.

He Yan was ordered by the general to go to Dongjun to meet Qiao Mao first, and then came to Yingchuan to see Xu Chu. Xu Chu was not there, so he temporarily lived in Xun Chen's house in Yanling. In the conversation with Xun Chen, he learned that Xu Chu used Guo Jia and Xu Shu, two children of the Han family, as his subordinates, He Yan was very surprised. I also learned that Yang Zhai Zao only supervised the whole county's tuntian with the position of lieutenant Cao Peng, and felt that Xu Chu had a unique style in employing people.

......, Xu Chu returned to the Taishou Mansion and learned from Xu Shu and Zao Yi that He Yan had an evaluation of his employment, so he was overjoyed. He Yan's comment is more useful than his Xu Chu's 10,000 sentences.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it became a trend for celebrities to evaluate their reputations, and often a comment from a famous scholar could affect the lifelong career of the person being evaluated. The most famous is the 'Yuedan Commentary' conducted by the two brothers Xu Shao and Xu Jing in Runan, that is, on the first day of the first day of every month, the Xu brothers will make a nuclear argument on the people of the world, but whoever has been praised by them will 'leap over the dragon gate' and his reputation will rise; the unlucky ghosts who have been belittled will have their reputation ruined, and it will be difficult for them to come out.

He Yan's words did not carry as much weight as Xu Shao, but they were also a big surprise for Xu Chu. Because He Yan was famous for his early years, he was admired by Shilin for avenging his father's revenge for his friends, and secretly helped the party members persecuted by eunuchs with Yuan Shao, so his name was more important than that of the Central Plains, and he was the backbone representative of the Shi group.

His sentence "Xu Zhongkang will employ people" is very likely to make some scholars put aside Xu Chu's prejudice of 'being born in a small way' and come to Yanling to serve.

Xu Chu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and asked Xu Shu, "Where is He Boqiu now?" ”

Xu Shu replied: "Or in Xun Gong Cao's mansion, or in Cai Gong's mansion." ”

Xu Chu nodded and said to Guo Jia: "Please work hard for filial piety." ”

Guo Jia received the order, he has a good relationship with He Yan, and he misses it a little after not seeing him for a long time.

After half an hour, hearing the laughter outside the hall, Xu Chu hurriedly left the table and got up to go out to greet him. Seeing that Guo Jia had an extraordinary appearance next to him, striding towards a meteor, it should be He He Boqiu.

He Yan is a Sikong Mansion Peng, a court official, with a low rank but a high status. Xu Chu went out to greet him, which was a common practice in officialdom, and it was also out of respect for He Yan.

After the ceremonial cutscene walked away, He Yan looked at Xu Chu and praised: "Xu Yingchuan is heroic, worthy of being a fierce general of the Yellow Turban!" ”

Xu Chu said modestly: "He Jun praises falsely, Chu is ashamed and dare not be." ”

entered the hall, because He Yan came with a secret order, Xi Zhong, Xu Shu and others had already avoided it. After sitting down, He Yan first asked Xu Chu: "How is Yang Zhai doing over there?" ”

Xu Chu replied: "The Zhang clan and the Huang clan were wiped out, and the disciples who participated in the rebellion were punished. ”

"Good, well done! Now that you have done it, you should do it cleanly and leave no trouble! ”

Like Yuan Shao, He Yan hated eunuchs, and when Xu Chu did things in Yangzhai, he was actually 'a confidant' in his heart. What's more, Xu Chu made such a move, and forced He Jin to have a showdown with the eunuchs, which helped him and Yuan Shao and others a lot.

He Yan took out a letter and handed it to Xu Chu, saying, "This is a letter written by the general. ”

Xu Chu respectfully took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was a matter of letting him enter the army. Xu Chu frowned, seemingly embarrassed.

Seeing this, He Yan smiled and asked, "What, Xu Taishou is in trouble?" ”

Xu Chu had no choice but to reply: "There have been thieves in the county recently, and I can't take care of myself......"

"My lord." Guo Jia suddenly interrupted Xu Chu's words and said, "You should put state affairs first. ”

Well? Didn't you Guo Jia agree with me on the decision not to send troops?

But it was not good to ask in front of He Yan, Xu Chu turned his words and said: "What Feng Xiao said is that the general has an order, and Yingchuan County will definitely abide by it." It's just that the troops are insufficient, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet the expectations of the general. ”

He Yan laughed and said, "Mrs. Xu is joking." Yingchuan Central Plains County, how can you say that there is a shortage of troops? But please tell He when he will leave, and He will return to Luoyang to resume his life. ”

Xu Chu was stunned, He Yan's words made him scratch his head, and he was speechless for a while.

Guo Jia replied for Xu Chu: "The lord has already made a decision with Jia, and he will send troops three days later, passing through Chenliu County and marching towards Sili. ”

He Yan said: "This is the best, He has been away from Beijing for many days, and it is not good to stay any longer, so he will return to Beijing immediately, and the two of them do not have to send each other." ”

Coming in a hurry, hurrying away, nothing more than a few words, no more than a letter. Xu Chu hasn't thought about it yet, and the people have already left the Taishou Mansion and gone away.

What's going on? Even if his strength is not good, even if his reputation is not good, this almost perfunctory attitude still makes Xu Chu extremely angry. Even He Yan's boasting of him in front of Xun Chen was also left behind, so he sneered: "It seems that there is no place for me Xu Chu in the eyes of the general and Yuan Benchu." ”

He also asked Guo Jiadao: "Why did Fengxiao change his hexagram? ”
