At the end of October, Zhao Xiong, the magistrate of Mayi County, was promoted to the Taishou of Yanmen County, Gao Shun thought to himself, the exploits of killing Zhang Liang were gone, and this emperor would really calculate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this has an advantage, that is, the three counties of Shanggu County, Dai County and Yanmen County can advance and retreat together, and better fight the Xianbei people, which is very beneficial to his plan for the coming year.

There is also a benefit, now that the system shows that the occupied area is more than 100,000 square kilometers, he did not dare to upgrade, these territories are still unstable, and if the imperial court is removed, it will lead to demotion, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, there are a lot of system scores just every month, plus the profits earned from trade, in addition to supporting the army, there is a large surplus every month, not to mention the wealth of the Zhen family and the wealth of the three Zhang Jiao brothers that were captured, and now Gao Shun can be said to be rich and rival the country.

In any case, Gao Shun is still very grateful to His Majesty the current emperor, and obtaining these wealth is inseparable from the emperor's support.

What makes him uncomfortable is that he has been away from home for a long time, and he probably won't be able to go home for the Spring Festival this year; And Li Qiang also wanted to go back to Loufu County to see his daughter-in-law.

Originally, Liu Hong wanted to recruit Gao Shun into Beijing a year ago, but he was full of curiosity about this young talent who had not yet met, and later postponed the date due to the attack of Wuhuan.

After the victory of the war in December, Liu Hongcai issued an order to ask Gao Shun to enter Beijing.

At the end of December, Gao Shun received a decree ordering Yan Liang and Zhang Fei, who had returned victoriously, to lead troops to garrison Julu and command all infantry and cavalry.

Zhang Fei was very angry, and complained to Gao Shun, his war horse was not as good as Guan Yu and Yan Liang, otherwise, he would have been able to kill Qiu Liju; Gao Shun knew his child's temper, so he exchanged a pure black premium war horse for Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and named it "Black Cloud".

After the Spring Festival, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Gao Shun set off ahead of schedule. He only brought Li Qiang and 3 junior cavalry as escorts.

From the southeast of Julu County, cross the Yellow River from Cangting Ferry, and go straight to Dong'e County.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the arrival of a large number of cavalry frightened the people of the small county town. The county commander, the county lieutenant and others immediately came to greet them, and when they learned that it was the arrival of the champion Hou, they were overjoyed and received them carefully.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Shun and Li Qiang went to visit Cheng Li under the leadership of the county lieutenant.

Because the Yellow Turban forces faced were much stronger than in history, and it was the army of Qingzhou Qu Shuai Buji who came to plunder, so Cheng Li had already fled to the north of the Yellow River for refuge, and did not have the opportunity to organize the defense of Dong'e County.

Cheng Li was not well-known in the local area, and everyone was very puzzled by Gao Shun's behavior.

It was still a cumbersome etiquette, and in the end, Gao Shun was greeted in the living room and sat down as the guest and host.

Gao Shunguan Cheng Li is in his forties, more than eight feet tall, and has a beautiful beard; Looking at his family background, he has a plan in his heart. Looking at its attributes, the intelligence is 97, the politics is 83, the intelligence is so high, no less than Tian Feng and Frustration, Gao Shun is overjoyed; Its politics are slightly low, which is also one of the reasons why he did not list the three princes in his life.

Cheng Liguan is tall and smooth, tall and strong, handsome in appearance, white and tender in skin, and childish; He created such a foundation at a young age, which he admired very much.

The two looked at each other for a while, but neither spoke.

In the end, Cheng Li couldn't bear it, so he had to ask: "What is the matter with the prince here?" ”

Gao Shun learned the lesson of meeting Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and said straight to the point: "I want to hire Zhongde as a military advisor, lead an army of 30,000, and conquer Xianbei for me." ”

Cheng Li is already in his forties, and Gao Shun doesn't believe that he doesn't want to make a career, so he can only use his fame and power to attract him; In the era when he was born at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no special opportunity, and it was difficult for Cheng Li to have a chance to rise.

Gao Shun's answer surprised Cheng Li and was very surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Why don't you go to the expedition in person?" ”

"If you have a public office, you must not leave without permission."

At that time, the officials of the imperial court were not allowed to leave the jurisdiction by holy decree, otherwise they would be removed from office and punished; Gao Shun is the Taishou of Julu County, and he is not allowed to leave the scope of Julu County without the emperor's order.

Cheng Li suggested: "The prince has not reached the weak crown, why not listen to the big wind of the tree, why not resign from public office, defend the frontier for the country, and specialize in conquest?" ”

Gao Shun remembered that Tian Feng also had a similar suggestion, and he didn't want to be away from home for a long time, and he also had plans to resign, so he said: "Shun has this intention early, and he was ordered to enter Beijing this time, depending on the situation." ”

Seeing that Gao Shun was not very old, but he was not stubborn, Cheng Li had a certain good impression of him in his heart, and thought for a while: "Junhou, what are the responsibilities of the military advisor?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Shun was overjoyed and hopeful, so he said: "The officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Shanggu County, Dai County and Yanmen County, as well as the Huwuhuan Captain's Mansion, have the right to transfer at will. The military division has the right to decide on the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officers, and can decide when to send troops, how many troops to be sent, and all tactical arrangements. As long as the results are achieved, do not look at the process; The first term of office is four years. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, giving him so much power and freedom, I don't believe that he is not moved, you must know that he was 51 years old when he became a magistrate in history, and he was only a county magistrate; And the three county guards and the captain of Wuhuan are his guards, and most of the military candidates and tun chiefs are system people, and they are not afraid that Cheng Li will have a rebellious heart.

"What about four years from now?"

Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, sir, I don't see such a long-term view, and it is not good to say what will happen in four years, but I am sure that it will only be better than the current one." ”

Cheng Li's face turned slightly red, and he really had the intention of being moved, at least this trust is not something that ordinary people can give, and after a while, he asked again: "The old man heard that the requirements for the recruitment of the prince are very strict, how to recruit a sufficient number of soldiers?" ”

"Haha, Mr. is too worried, the recruitment was very strict before, just to facilitate the expansion of the army in the future, even if it is an ordinary cavalry, he is fully qualified for the position of commander and chief of the Northern Army, and the chief is fully qualified for the post of Dubo; And with His Majesty's will, you can recruit troops in the three states of You, He, and Hebei, and there is quite a lot of choice; Shun asked for elite soldiers, but he chose the best of the best, and did not want to recruit too many officers and soldiers, and was hated by others. ”

"The prince offended the scholars, in the opinion of Li, it is really unwise, I don't know what explanation the prince has?"

"Haha, Mr. is too worried, Shun has never been to Jingshi, and he has never been in contact with the scholars, how can he be offended?"

"Why did the prince get so close to the eunuch?"

"Shun Ke has never taken the initiative to associate with any eunuchs."

"What is the prince's opinion on the current situation?"

"Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time; At present, the scholars monopolized the court inside, blocked the way for the Han people to rise, built manors abroad, concentrated land, and the majority of the people lost their arable land, had no livelihood, and were displaced; This is a sign of great change in the world. ”

"What are the current plans of the prince?"

"Train officers and soldiers, expel aliens; Develop internal affairs, waiting for the time. ”

Gao Shun's words made Cheng Li very satisfied, and it was similar to Guangjiliang, and he asked, "What are the ambitions of the prince?" ”

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost." In order to avoid causing trouble, I did not dare to say the latter sentence.

Gao Shun felt really tired of talking to these people, as if he was back in elementary school and was assessed by the teacher.

Cheng Li thought to himself, he was proud of his talent, but he suffered from an ordinary background, and he has achieved nothing so far, and he was embarrassed by Gao Shun's achievements before he reached the weak crown; Gao Shun has literary talents, great ambitions, actions, goals, sincerity, good at military affairs, and the chaotic land of the border county can give full play to his talents, which is convenient for making contributions; He has passed the age of no doubt, it is a watershed in life, such an opportunity is hard to find in a lifetime, if you miss it, can you wait for such an opportunity in the future? Will he regret it later?

With his mind set, Cheng Li bowed to Gao Shun and said, "Immediately visit the lord!" ”

Gao Shun was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Cheng Li, and said, "Shun will treat Mr. with a teacher." ”

Subsequently, Cheng Li set up a banquet to entertain Gao Shun and his party.

Leaving a team of cavalry to escort Cheng Li's family members to move to Taoyuan Fort to live.

Gao Shun hoped that Cheng Li's eldest son, Cheng Wu, would serve Cheng Li with him; Cheng Li readily agreed.

On the third day, everyone set off and went straight to Chenliu.
