Chapter 20 Rescue Zhao Yun
The next few days are the usual hiring process. Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, welcome. It takes at least half a month to complete a set of processes. The wedding system at the end of the Han Dynasty was not as cumbersome as in later generations, but the skeleton was basically determined, and it was just the fullness of the details.
Since Taoism has not yet flourished, there are not many requirements for fortune-telling and auspicious times, which saves a lot of time. Because for both men and women, this marriage should be completed as soon as possible, which is proof that the Fan family and the Guo family have reached a union.
On July 18 of the third year of Zhongping, the wedding was held in a grand manner. Zhao Xin changed her name to Guo Xin and married as Guo Yi's daughter.
The Fan family was a merchant, and the gentry class did not associate with them very much. But this is Guo Yi's marriage, with his name, the gentry of Zhending County still gave face, and the Fan family set up more than a dozen tables, which was unprecedented.
Less suspects? Only the masters of each family can serve the table, and even the ladies are not qualified to participate. This time, all the people with heads and faces in Zhending County have been invited.
The so-called wedding is to announce the contract to the world, so that the whole society can witness the implementation of the contract.
The Guo family and the Fan family have become in-laws and a community of interests in front of the upper level of the entire Zhending County.
After the wedding, the Han Dynasty did not have the bad habit of making a hole in the house, which saved a lot of effort.
Guo Yi completed his duty and went home.
"Wait, let's take a trip to the north of the city."
The carriage stopped at the door of Yan Hua's house, Guo Yi knocked on the door, put a piece of candy at the door, got in the car, and left.
Yuanshi County, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wang Guoxiang threw a silk book on the table, which was covered with the official seal of Zhending County. "Li County Ling has sent a letter again, and he wants to recommend Guo Yi as filial piety."
The master bookkeeper took the silk book and read it, and sighed: "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to stop." Guo Yi is known for his reputation, and he is dignified, and he has all aspects of civil and martial arts, maybe there are already people in the court who are ready to make a move. ”
The world is going to be chaotic, and this is something that anyone with a sober mind can see. Unless there is another Guangwu Emperor, the Han Dynasty is basically going to be finished. This court has lost the hearts of the people. If you want to compete in the Central Plains, you need talents. Guo Yi has undoubtedly shown enough ability, and such talents must be recruited under his command.
"You're wrong." The kingdom sneered, "You don't have the ability to read people." No one in the court will look for him, this Guo Yi is not the choice of a virtuous minister or a famous general. ”
The main book is patted along the sycophant, "The little stupid, I hope the adults will guide the maze." ”
"He is the choice of princes and overlords!" Wang Guoxiang's hands were shaking, and he realized that he had to find a way to curb Guo Yi's rise. I have a gap with him, and once he gains power, his fate is unknown. You must not do anything that is a rebellion.
"This man is brave and strategic, and he governs the army well. He does not want to be subordinate to others, but he can treat others with courtesy. How long has it been? From a country boy to a Changshan celebrity. He can't be allowed to continue to gain power. ”
The master bookkeeper nodded and asked, "Then what about this expression of filial piety?" ”
"Shelving it for now. Changshan Country is so big, can't you find other filial piety? ”
The master said: "I'm afraid that Li County Order will not give up." ”
Wang Guoxiang sneered and said disdainfully: "Then he will have to wait until next year." After a pause, he said: "At the beginning of Li County's order, there were chastews under his rule. Eliminate Zhang Leigong, relieve the siege of Yuanshi County, and drive the Yellow Turban thieves back to Taihang Mountain. It can be said that he is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. It's time to get promoted. ”
The master bookkeeper gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Excellency is wise! ”
In late July, preparations for the harvest began. As a result of the repulsion of the Yellow Turban Thieves, many homeless people poured into Changshan Country. Guo Yi proposed to Li County Commander to arrange for these displaced people to help with the work, record the work points, and exchange the work points for food.
This proposal has had excellent results. These homeless people with nothing to do were originally a big hidden danger to law and order. Now it's cheap labor! Unified management also minimizes the possibility of displaced people turning into yellow turban thieves.
This year's harvest in Zhending County is not bad, and in addition to ensuring tax revenue, each family has a lot of surpluses. Li Xianling naturally smiled, this is all his merit, as long as he does it properly, promotion and fortune are close at hand.
The world is peaceful, it is really relaxed and pleasant. Guo Yi reads books and practices martial arts every day, and studies food, which is the most comfortable time after crossing over.
That night, Guo Yi was playing a game of one dragon and two phoenixes in Wang's house, and after Wang Xianling's death, he was even more open, he was the only man who could enter and leave this house. As long as he thought that there was a chastity archway at the door, he was excited.
"Lord Guo! The prefectural order is please! ”
Hearing the sound of shouting, Zhao Rou broke out in a cold sweat. Guo Yi is still at the Wang family next door. In the middle of the night, how could the county order suddenly summon Guo Yi?
Hurriedly pulled a red rope at the head of the bed. At the other end of the red rope was a bell tied to it, hanging in the courtyard of the royal family. At night, the sound of the bells is exceptionally crisp. The official couldn't help but look towards the Wang's house, and found that the figure inside was longing, and there was a slightly noisy human voice, and if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a man's curse.
The official raised his head and glanced at the archway of chastity, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile. Then he returned to the door of Guo Yi's house and continued to knock on the door. "Lord Guo, the county order is please."
"Here we are." Guo Yi opened the door, well-dressed. The official's nose moved, smelling the smell of rouge and **, and Guo Yi still had lip prints on his neck that could not be wiped clean.
"What's the matter with the county order looking for me?"
"On the way to transport grain to Luoyang, the county lieutenant of Zhao was surrounded by yellow turban thieves."
"What?!"
rushed all the way to the county mansion, Zhao Da, the chief bookkeeper and others were already waiting.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Da couldn't help but tease, "It seems that it disturbed Lord Guo's dream." Madame won't reproach me for waiting, will she? ”
Guo Yi was stunned, subconsciously touched his neck, and found lip prints. Hurriedly laughed a few times and said apologetically: "It's too urgent, I hope you forgive me." ”
"Alright, let's get down to business." Li Xianling pointed to the map in front of him, Zhao Yun's convoy was surrounded in the border area between Zhao and Zhongshan, according to the description of the herald, there were tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves, and the black pressure could not see the end, and Zhao Yun could only hold on.
Guo Yi took a towel, cleaned his face and neck, and asked, "What about the herald?" ”
"He was seriously wounded and died."
Li Xian ordered: "I have decided that you will lead the troops to support." But the defense of the county can't be put down, I can only give you three hundred men. ”
Guo Yi was categorical, "I want a hundred cavalry, galloping to the aid of the starry night." ”
"There are few war horses in this county, and if it is lost, with the county's finances, I am afraid that it will be difficult to replenish."
Concerned about this? If the public grain can't be transported to the granary of the imperial court, then you will wait for death! Guo Yi said: "If it is damaged, I can compensate according to the price." ”
Li Xianling nodded, "Okay." You're going now! ”
Soon the army was assembled, and among these people, Guo Yi saw a few familiar faces, and they were extremely excited to see Guo Yi. This cavalry team was previously commanded by Zhao Yun, and it was well-trained and disciplined.
"Let's go!"
When I got to the gate of the city, there was a rider blocking the way, it was Yan Hua.
"I'm going to save him."
