Chapter 219: First Sight of Xu Chu
After several days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Zhang Fan and his entourage came to Cao Cao's hometown - Qian County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Fan's trip was undoubtedly for Xu Chu, but in order not to reveal his intentions, he chose to visit Cao Song as the first stop of his trip.
Cao Song was Cao Cao's father, the last commander of Emperor Huan. Emperor Ling worshiped Dasi Nong and Da Honglu, and replaced Cui Lie as a captain. and the Ten Standing Servants rebelled in politics, and Cao Song resigned and returned to his hometown.
Zhang Fan is now a world-famous figure, and his visit to Cao Song in person undoubtedly made Cao Song, the former lieutenant of Zhishi, very happy, and treated him warmly and respectfully.
To tell the truth, although Cao Song was once ranked as the third prince and had a high position, he was Cao Teng's adopted son. And he is ranked in Jiuqing, largely relying on Cao Teng's relationship, Cao Song is not like his adoptive father is an honest person, he has been an official for many years, and because of his power and profit, the Cao family can be described as a rich party.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a system of spending money and donating officials in the court, and Cao Song was not satisfied with the position of Dahonglu, and spent 10,000 gold to donate the post of Taiwei for himself.
It is precisely because of his special background and his behavior of buying officials that many scholars despise him, and everyone disdains to make friends with him when he is in power, let alone the queen of the office.
So when a big celebrity like Zhang Fan came to the door, it was tantamount to a long drought for him, and it also saved him a lot of face.
Zhang Fan is not interested in Cao Song, and he is still relatively disdainful of his character, because he is short-sighted.
Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, and Cao Song, who had a lot of money, took refuge in Xuzhou instead, and did not give his son financial support to Cao Cao's cause.
Later, Cao Song led his second son Cao De and his wife and concubine to Yanzhou to defect to Cao Cao, and attacked and killed Zhang Min for greed for money for the Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian Department. It's also self-inflicted.
After the Cao family's discontinuation, Zhang Fan received an invitation from Kong Yu, the county commander of Qiaoxian County, so Zhang Fan decisively resigned from Cao Song and went to the county government of Qiaoxian County.
Kong Yu is a small-eyed man in his forties, I heard that Zhang Fan passed by here and invited him politely, but I didn't expect Zhang Fan to really give him face to visit him.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and suddenly a small official came over and said:
"County honor, subordinates have important things to report......"
Kong Yu was talking about it at this time, and said unhappily:
"What's the matter later, didn't you see me talking to the prince?"
The little official hesitated and said, "It's a very important thing......
Kong Yu frowned and scolded: "Bastard! What can be a big deal in this place of ours? Either lose the cow or fight and make trouble, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
Zhang Fan interjected and said: "The county is angry, maybe there is really something urgent, you might as well listen to ......"
Kong Yu asked with a straight face: "Say it!" What's the matter? ”
The little official looked at Zhang Fan hesitantly and didn't speak, Zhang Fan said knowingly:
"Why don't I avoid it first......"
Kong Yu hurriedly stopped Zhang Fan and said with a smile:
"You're too careful, you really don't need to ......"
Turning around, he waited fiercely for the little official and said, "Bastard thing!" Hurry up! ”
The little official had no choice but to say: "We received a report that Xujiazhuang harbored the yellow turban fugitive Bai Huan, with bad intentions ......"
"White winding?" Kong Yu's face changed greatly, "Is the news true?" ”
The little official said: "The whistleblower is Xu Chu's cousin Xu Ju......"
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Congratulations to the county venerable for another great contribution, if you can catch Bai Huan, at least you can be promoted to a ...... level."
Kong Yu smiled bitterly: "Yes! What a bonus! ”
In fact, Kong Yu scolded this little official half to death in his heart:
You bastard! Something so important won't tell me secretly? If Zhang Fan didn't know about this, he would just be fooled. Now that Zhang Fan knows about this, he is destined to be impossible. That Xu's power is so big that even the yellow scarf can't help it, my county doesn't pay attention to people at all, isn't it boring to search for it?
Zhang Fan suggested: "County Zun, the stakes are very high, in my opinion, it is better to act as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news and let the thieves escape...... I also brought some people with me when I went out this time, so I might as well share some with you and help you! ”
Kong Yu said helplessly: "Then thank you Junhou." To tell you the truth, my county soldiers are really useless, and they need to be relieved of the siege by the fierce commanders of the prince! ”
Zhang Fan said indifferently: "Everyone is serving the country, so there is no need to be polite." If you can catch Bai Rao, the credit will be taken by the adult. These small achievements are just icing on the cake for me. ”
Kong Yu licked his face and smiled: "This ...... How embarrassing is that? ”
Zhang Fan waved his hand and said categorically:
"Alright, that's it!"
Kong Yu glared at the little official and said, "Quickly go and inform the county lieutenant and ask him to assemble the county soldiers." The rest of the things, not a word to say, otherwise the thief who ran away is the only one who asks! Do you understand? ”
The little official was frightened, and stammered back: "No, big ...... My lord. ”
Kong Yu's eyes puffed out, "Why don't you go soon?"
"No." The little official ran away as if he had been pardoned......
……
Two hours later, 300 county soldiers and 100 elites of the Shousheng battalion surrounded all the intersections of Xujiazhuang, but they were blocked by the elite of Xujiazhuang at the entrance of the village, and the two sides began to confront each other.
A quarter of an hour later, a tall nine feet, waist size ten girth, tiger back bear waist, big waist round, face full of flesh Biao big man walked up, seeing him coming, Xujiazhuang everyone retreated, the county soldiers of Qian County have clenched their weapons, timid even legs began to tremble.
"Even drop God, is this still human? Isn't this Roshan?"
"O'Neill of the Han Dynasty, or the ...... of the extended yard"
"How many pounds do you think he has?"
"At least three hundred pounds!"
"It's really eye-opening to be so fat and muscular......"
"Even if he overturned a tank on the spot, I guess I wouldn't be surprised."
……
This man's eyes are small, but they are extremely sharp. Look around and say:
"I don't know what the county lord means?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like thunder, and the birds in the trees scattered in all directions......
Kong Yu's voice trembled and said: "Xu Chu, this official has received a report that Xu Jiazhuang harbored the yellow turban fugitive Bai Huan, and he has come to search. You don't want these people to disperse quickly, don't you want to fight against the government?"
Xu Chu's expression remained unchanged, and he laughed and said: "Xu Jiazhuang and the Yellow Turban have always been incompatible, and we have also beaten the Yellow Turban Army before, how can we harbor Bai Huan?" Did the county zun listen to the rumors......
Kong Yu's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "If you say that there is anyone, it doesn't matter, you have to search it before you count." You have repeatedly obstructed, could it be that there is a ghost in your heart to buy time for Bai Huan to escape? ”
Xu Chu's expression turned cold, "Okay, since the county lord bit us to death, then let you search for it...... But what if you can't find it? “
Kong Yu didn't dare to look at Xu Chu's face, "I can't find it, I'll naturally give you an explanation......"
"Okay." Xu Chu instructed: "Everyone get out of the way and let them search carefully." I'll say in advance, if any of you dare to steal something, I will not let you out of this place......" (To be continued.) )
