Xu Chu sat in the car and glanced at Huang Shao and his subordinates through the window.

These people had several knife marks on their faces, and they had lost their original faces, Xu Chu got out of the car and said, "Wen Qian, you stay here and wait for me." ”

After arriving in Shu County, Huang Shao first looked for Lejin.

Le Jin said: "Junhou, this ......"

"Don't worry." Xu Chu straightened his clothes, and he noticed that there were two young men dressed as scholars standing next to Huang Shao.

The cool breeze wrinkled Huang Shao's weather-beaten face. On that face, down from the brow bone, there was a deep scar. From the beginning of joining Taiping Dao, to following the Zhang Jiao brothers to revolt, and then to entrenching in Yingchuan, Huang Shao, who has now become a general, is more than forty years old.

The age of more than forty was enough to call himself 'old and decrepit' in ancient times, but when he saw Xu Chu in his twenties, Huang Shao could only bow down slowly and call him 'Junhou'.

To say that he has no thoughts in his heart is obviously unrealistic. However, in order to survive, he had no other choice under the fence. He understood that those scholars in Yingchuan County were worried about his life all the time, so Xu Chu asked him to disperse his troops to open up the wasteland and let him instigate He Yi's old troops to attack Yuxian, and he did so.

Xu Chu also knows this, in the eyes of the world, Huang Shaoshi is more damned than He Yi. He Yi said that he was the commander of the Yellow Turban, but in fact he was just a local tyrant before the incident, and Huang Shao was an out-and-out Yellow Turban traitor from the beginning, a reactionary who the authorities must exterminate.

Xu Chu helped Huang Shao up and said lightly: "It's good that you're here, there is a shortage of people around me." As a traverser, Xu Chu treated the Yellow Turban Thief with more sympathy than those big people in the world.

Feeling the sincerity in Xu Chu's faint words, Huang Shao smiled and said, "Don't hide it from the prince, I have already walked to Hanoi County. ”

When I walked to Hanoi County, I naturally wanted to go to Bingzhou to seek refuge with Zhang Yan, the giant of Montenegro. When Huang Shao arrived in Hanoi, it was in the midst of the chaos in Kyoto, and the whole of Hanoi was in a state of intense preparation, so he could not leave for a while. Pan Huan's kung fu, he changed his mind again. In terms of qualifications, Zhang Yan is his junior in the Yellow Turban lineage, from Xu Chu to Zhang Yan, they are also obedient to the juniors, there seems to be little difference, and Huang Shao is unwilling to live a rogue life in his heart.

The matter on my mind here is not enough to talk about Xu Chu.

"I wonder what the prince is going to let Shao do?"

"Farming."

Huang Shao was surprised: "Or farming?" ”

Xu Chu patted him on the shoulder, "You don't need to go to the ground this time, just be responsible for supervising it." Don't underestimate Tuntian, there will be a war soon, then I will not only let you supervise Tuntian, but also allow you to recruit troops in the jurisdiction, after the war starts, you will be able to go into battle to kill the enemy! ”

Huang Shao said with relief: "Thank you, Junhou." ”

Xu Chu suddenly stepped aside, motioned for Huang Shao to follow, and asked Huang Shao, "Who are those two people and what are they doing?" ”

Huang Shao replied: "It's a talent who was 'invited' for the prince." ”

"Talent 'invited'?" Xu Chu frowned, looking suspicious.

Huang Shao talked about how the two were 'invited' by himself. But when he arrived in Hanoi, Luoyang was in turmoil, and the number of people fleeing was innumerable, so Huang Shao started his old business in Hanoi County by the way, and found a good place to rob passers-by. At that time, the late cavalry general He Miao was attacked and killed by Wang Kuang, Zhang Zhang, and other subordinates of the late general He Jin. After Le Yin's death, the two students collected the body of their teacher regardless of the danger and wanted to take it back to their hometown for burial.

happened to be hit by Huang Shao. Because the two of them were dressed up, respected their teachers, and had extraordinary appearances, Huang Shao felt that he would be a usable talent, so he asked his subordinates to find a place where Le Yin was buried, and then forcibly 'invited' the two to Lujiang County.

Xu Chu was dumbfounded, Huang Shao's style of acting was really 'full of gangsterism'.

"What are the names of these two?"

"The burly one calls himself a puller, and the thin one calls himself Shi Lu."

……

……

Back at the county government, Xu Chu lowered his head and thought hard, anxious. He has an impression of the name of the Zhao, and another celebrity who is closely related to the Zhaozhao is Tian Yu. These two are both famous ministers who have made great achievements in guarding the frontiers.

In Xu Chu's current camp, there are very few Wenchen. This lack is based on the conclusion reached after dividing the current Wenchen into two categories.

One is extremely outstanding and one-in-a-million talents, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and Xu Shu. This kind of Wenchen is Xu Chu's right-hand man, whether it is military strategy or political affairs, Xu Chu relies on them very much. But if Guo Jia and the others really want to make the best use of their talents, Xu Chu can't arrange specific details for them and distract them from miscellaneous matters, so Xu Chu urgently needs second-class talents who can help him deal with specific government affairs.

For example, Xin Bi, Zhou Yi, Fei Liang, Pang Zhan, and He Zhen, who had just entered the government from Qi County, was forcibly pulled into the gang by Huang Shao, Shi Lu, and so on. These people may only be middle-class, middle-class, or even middle-level talents, but in fact, they are indispensable backbones.

It can even be said that the backbone of this part of the middle part is not only indispensable, but also more important than the top strategists, because if you want your group to operate normally and in an orderly manner, you mainly have to rely on the backbone of this part of the majority, and with their support, the upper echelons around Xu Chu can strategize and win a thousand miles.

But the current situation is that Zhou Yi, Xin Bi, and He Zhen took office at the beginning of the year, and it is difficult to say exactly where they want to go in the future; It is still unknown whether the trick, whether Shi Lu can be used, and how to use it, how Xu Chu is not overstretched, and how not to be anxious.

Thinking that he was going to inspect Nongsang next, Xu Chu couldn't help but smile bitterly: Even if the agricultural governance in the county is in order, when the time comes, I will send troops to the Central Plains, and the nearby wolves will look around, the counties closer to the Lujiang River, Jiujiang, Jiangxia, Runan, Yuzhang, and Danyang counties all have territories bordering, and each county guard is not a fuel-efficient lamp, needless to say that across Jiangxia County and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, or the great enemy after the end of the fight against Dong, can the county's agriculture really be saved? It's hard to say.

Xu Chu was reluctant, but agriculture is fundamental, and it is related to the daily life of all people in a county, so it is really not possible to go up without a little effort. Regardless of how it is governed, the state capital and the counties in the state must first draw a clear line, and they cannot be allowed to use Lujiang as a 'granary' for taking and demanding.

Fei Liang, who had previously brought gifts to the state capital, returned to the Shu County Government the next day.

The prelude to the hall is right, Fei Liang will slowly report to Xu Chu what happened in the state capital.

Before Fei Liang arrived at the state capital, Chen Wen had already learned of the killing of the state official. is as gentle as Fang Bo Chen Wen, and his first reaction is also extremely annoyed.

Since taking office in Yangzhou, Chen Wen has held the decree of the court in his hand and relied on his cronies from Runan, such as Liu Miao, who is currently the county guard of Jiujiang, and slowly gained a foothold. But in fact, Chen Wen did not get a bargain in the confrontation of the local scholars in Yangzhou, but fell behind. Tao Qian summoned people to go to Xuzhou in Danyang County, and Zhou Xin, the county guard, has been at odds with him since then, and the three counties of Yuzhang, Huiji, and Lujiang have also violated the state capital Yang, and Lu Kang has repeatedly written to him on the basis of his qualifications and merits, asking him not to exploit the counties too much. Lu Kang respects him on the surface, Zhou Xin openly and secretly opposes his decrees, and only Wu Juntai Shou Shengxian is friendly with him. In other words, of the six counties in Yangzhou, only one and a half are really in Chen Wen's hands, Jiujiang County and half of Wu County, which is too busy to take care of itself.

finally waited for Xu Chu, who was also from Yuzhou, to serve as the Taishou of Lujiang, and didn't want Xu Chu to kill a state official who went to Lujiang to collect grain as soon as he arrived, and slapped him firmly, how could Chen Wen not be angry.

But if he really wants to deal with Xu Chu, Chen Wen thinks that it is difficult to do it.

First of all, the state officials killed the pavilion chief privately, and Chen Wen took the blame; Secondly, Xu Chu is not easy to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with in two aspects.

First, Xu Chu's soldiers are strong and strong. Xu Chu Hao swept thousands of parts from Yanling, and he had already alarmed the counties of Yangzhou, and these thousands of parts were not a rabble, but a capable army with repeated achievements. Chen Wen didn't know anything about military affairs, so he really wanted to make a move, even if he was the governor of a state, the odds of victory might be higher than Xu Chu.

The second is that Xu Chu is hard-backed. Xu Chu worshiped Lujiang Taishou, it can be said that he entrusted the power of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, Yuan Shao spent his time letting Xu Chu go to Lujiang, just in case, to plan for the future; With the rock-hard backstage of the Yuan family, Chen Wen, who has a friendship with the Yuan family, cannot easily deal with Xu Chu.

The two aspects are combined, and the conclusion is that Chen Wen is unwilling to force Xu Chu to the opposite side because of this matter. But just swallowing his anger, his already little prestige was even more damaged, and the consequence may be that the court had to replace him.

In a dilemma, when Chen Wen met Fei Liang, he accepted the gift and sent Fei Liang back to Lujiang without saying anything.

Chen Wen is waiting, not only waiting for Xu Chu's follow-up attitude, but also waiting for the reactions of other counties in the state.
