Chapter 48: The Old Man
"The old man is just a common man, why does the captain need so much courtesy." A goat's beard, the energetic old man looked at Chen Qiong with half-squinted eyes.
"Uncle is polite, Lord Liu has a kindness to a certain person, and he doesn't dare to forget it. It is appropriate to give an elder salute to my uncle. Chen Qiong said politely, she originally wanted to come to visit Liu Xu, but she didn't expect Liu Yi to go out, so she came to visit his father.
"I have heard for a long time that the captain is good at using soldiers, and he swept away the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou within a few months of taking office, benefiting more than one million people in Yuzhou, which is really a great merit."
The old man nodded very appreciatively, and said in his heart that although his unsuccessful son was too shou, he was too pedantic by nature, and he had more than enough virtue and insufficient ability, so he didn't expect to be able to promote a young and promising person like Chen Qiong. It can be regarded as a good thing for the Liu family. Chen Qiong holds a male soldier, is the most powerful force in Yuzhou, and can fight well, in this troubled world, can protect the Liu family, I don't know where the seven girls died, the seven girls have been beautiful since childhood, gentle and graceful, and Chen Qiong is a young hero, dignified, has not yet married a wife, but also matched.
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, uncle, don't look at a certain person who is in a high position now, in fact, there are a lot of troubles when the stall is big." Chen Qiong smiled helplessly.
"Now that the remaining Yellow Turban remnants in Yuzhou are no longer to worry about, I don't know what else can bother the school captain?" The old man asked curiously, it stands to reason that Chen Qiong is so young, he is in charge of tens of thousands of troops and horses, and he is on the side of shock, it is when he is proud of life, where is there any trouble?
"Uncle doesn't know, since Ge Pi fought and forced the landing of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels, although the strength of a certain subordinate has reached more than 15,000 people, there is no shortage of generals who can fight, but the affairs in the army are quite complicated, and there is a lack of people to give advice, everything can only be done by himself, even if he is covered in iron, he can't hit a few nails. What's more, a certain is not good at this, naturally has to be handed over to a special person to take care of, the Lord Taishou has the grace to carry a certain person, this time, a certain is to ask the Lord Taishou for some support, looking at the entire Yuzhou, I am afraid that now only the Lord Taishou is willing to help a certain person. ”
Chen Qiong shrugged his shoulders, and put the high hat on the other party first, the Liu family is a big family in Runan, and he has made achievements in the officialdom, and he can get the support of local heroes, which will be of great help to him to take root in Yuzhou in the future.
"I see, there are a few unsuccessful children in the Liu family, if the captain does not dislike it, the old man can recommend them to go to the captain to teach." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"That's very good, thank you uncle for your help!" Chen Qiong thanked him.
"It's just the icing on the cake, it doesn't deserve such a big gift, can the captain know that although there are many soldiers under him, why don't there be assistants to vote?" The old man naturally knew that Chen Qiong didn't want some people who didn't have much practicality, and a few children of the Liu family could only be regarded as some help, but it didn't matter to the overall situation.
Chen Qiong said, "Please also ask for your advice." ”
"But those who want to achieve something meritorious must be surrounded by supporting talents. The captain was unknown to the scholars because of his lack of fame. Now to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yuzhou, famous all over the world, Yingchuan, Runan Duoqi people, I believe that soon there will be virtuous people to serve under the adult. The old man smiled slightly.
"Uncle, I am now thirsty for talent, and I hope that the adults will give me some advice, and I will directly bring a heavy gift to the door, after all, it is better to wait for the opportunity than to create an opportunity by yourself and take the initiative."
Chen Qiong thought that the plate was too big, and found a few people who could discuss big things. Chen Zhi is good at commanding troops, Zhou Cang is quite good at training, Liao Hua is young and steady, and he also has the potential to be a general. And Xu Chu, Pei Yuanshao is more than brave, but the strategy is insufficient. These people really can't help with ordinary matters. Ah Niu has shown outstanding talents in internal affairs, but after all, he is young and inexperienced, and he needs to grow up in a while to stand alone. Now most of the affairs are pressed on Ah Niu's half-sized guy, and Chen Qiong really feels that he is abusing minors.
"Why did the adults give up the near and seek the distance, I heard that the adults and Xun Shuo intersected, and the Xun family is the Yingchuan family. Among them, Xun Yu is young and famous, known as Wang Zuozhicai, Xun Yu has become wise, known as cunning, good at military affairs, Xun Shuo is also good at internal affairs, as long as the captain asks for it, Xun Shuo will not refuse. The old man said.
"Thank you uncle for your advice, talents are rare, so I will prepare a generous gift to visit, and I will come to thank my uncle after the matter is completed." Chen Qiong got up impatiently and said goodbye to the old man.
"Go, I wish the captain what he wants!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled. Seeing Chen Qiong go away, he muttered to himself, "Young and powerful but not arrogant, if he is thirsty for leisure like this, he will become a great weapon one day." ”
When Chen Qiong led dozens of cavalry to appear outside the Xun Mansion, Xun Shuo had already taken a few people outside the mansion, there was no way, it was too popular, especially the reputation of Xu Chu, a villain, has now resounded throughout Runan and the counties of the country.
"Xun Shuo has seen Lord Captain!" Xun Shuo, who was the leader, was first happy on his face, and then saluted very respectfully, and a young scribe next to Xun Shuo wore a scarf on his head, and a white robe was elegant and graceful, which made Chen Qiong look at it a few more times.
"Gou Fugui, don't forget, Brother Xun is a scholar, I believe that Bi understands the meaning of this sentence better. We used to be brothers, why are we now angry. If so, the official will not do it. Chen Qiong dismounted and tapped Xun Shuo's chest quite enthusiastically.
"Brother Chen, you must know that the etiquette cannot be abolished, please inside." Seeing that Chen Qiong was still as always, Xun Shuo also had a smile on his face.
"The two of us are lifelong friends, so I won't be polite to you. A newly promoted lieutenant, before the state pastor went to Beijing, he had confessed that he was in charge of the affairs of the bandits in Yuzhou, and temporarily served as the Taishou of the county. A certain sufferer because his subordinates are not virtuous, so he went to the Taishou Lord's house and ran away, but he didn't meet anyone, but under the guidance of Liu Lao, he heard that the Xun family has many talents, so he came to ask Brother Xun for help. Chen Qiong said unceremoniously.
"I'm not good at military affairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Chen, I'm afraid I can't help much." Xun Shuo smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, listen to what Liu Lao said, Brother Xun is quite good at internal affairs, and there are still several counties in a certain place under his rule, appeasing the displaced people, the yellow turbans are surrendered, and the wasteland is reclaimed. The importance of this kind of affairs is no less than military affairs, if Brother Xun is humble in learning, who can be up to the task? A certain looked at a lot of government affairs, but his head was a few laps bigger, so Brother Xun didn't want to shirk it. "A learned person is conceited in his heart, and he always likes to be modest on the surface, this Xun Shuo also has a bit of the spirit of a scholar, Chen Qiong smiled in his heart, even if he pulled it hard, he also wanted to pull this guy into his chariot.
"Thanks to the importance of adults, I will try my best to serve the adults in the next step." Xun Shuo bowed his hand and thanked him.
"Brother Xun, didn't you already say it, why are you so polite?" Chen Qiong hurriedly said.
"My lord, you must know that the etiquette must not be abolished!" Xun Shuo Zhengse said, his expression was very serious.
"It's fine." Chen Qiong saw that Xun Shuo was not joking, and knew that there were no rules, so he no longer insisted. glanced at the scribe who had been following Xun Shuo, and asked, "Brother Xun, this scribe beside a certain Guan Ru is calm and has an extraordinary temperament, I don't know who it is." ”
