Guan Yu and everyone came to the county government of Zheng County under the guidance of Zhang Ji, the county government of Zheng County is very simple, the whole county government is slightly old, it is a house of many years at a glance, compared with the bustling street scene here, the county government is a lot inferior, and so on Guan Yu and everyone walked into the office, but there is no county order in the office, and the errand saw a group of people waiting for the arrival, and recognized Zhang Ji at a glance, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't know if Lord Zhang is far away to meet all hopes for forgiveness!" ”

"Why isn't the county order Du here?" Zhang Ji asked.

The errand man hurriedly replied: "Du County ordered to go outside to supervise and visit!" ”

"Where exactly to go?" Zhang Ji continued to ask.

"Southeast of the county!" The errand replied.

Zhang both looked at Guan Yu, Guan Yu waved his hand to run to the southeast of the county, this group of people didn't even have time to settle down and hurried to the southeast of the county, came to the southeast of Zheng County, vaguely saw some errands pointing there, and when Guan Yu and the others came to the front, the two sides finally met, but saw a tall and majestic young man with a dignified and handsome face standing in an official uniform among the crowd, really majestic and dignified, like standing out from the crowd, very eye-catching, When Guan Yu and the others came to him, the man's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately said to Zhang Ji: "Why is Brother De Jong here, don't you say hello first!" ”

"Bohou, why didn't you come here without the county office?" Zhang Ji asked.

Du Yi replied, "Can I do it if I don't come out?" The county has a limited local population, and so many businesses need to expand the space outward, so I didn't come to the site for a field trip! ”

Zhang Ji took Guan Yu to Du Ji and said to Guan Yu: "This is what I said about Du Ji Du County Order!" ”

Guan Yu looked up and down a lot, and Du Yi said: "It's really a talent!" ”

Du Ji saw that Guan Yu was standing in front of him, with such an otherworldly temperament, Xuan Ang Yushu was majestic and majestic, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance, so he asked Zhang Ji: "Brother De Rong, who is this?" ”

Zhang Ji hurriedly introduced: "This is Guan Yu, the general of the current dynasty, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang!" ”

Du Yi's eyes widened when he heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, let alone imagine that this was true. Guan Yu Guan Yunchang What kind of hero is this, is this the legendary generation of war god Guan Yu Guan Yunchang? This is the famous general, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who is invincible and sweeps the world? Is it Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who killed Dong Zhuo and turned the tide? Du Ji, as a county magistrate, naturally can't see such a person, after all, the difference in level is too big, but Guan Yu's name has already spread far and wide, and what he heard is like thunder! I didn't expect this legendary figure to appear in front of my eyes today, isn't this a dream?

Guan Yu, this is simply a god descending from heaven! How can a small official like Du Yi see such a character, the difference in level between the two is not a quarter and a half! One is the leader of the highest level of the first rank of the dynasty, and the other is the lowest level of the ruler, where will the two have the opportunity to get in touch! One is the top and the other is the grassroots. However, through Zhang Ji's meeting like this, Du Ji, as an official of the imperial court, understood the etiquette in this officialdom, and immediately bowed to Guan Yu and said: "Zheng County ordered Du Ji Du Bo to pay homage to General Guan!" ”

Guan Yu waved his hand to him to signal him to stand up, as a leader Guan Yu is still relatively "factional", not that Guan Yu is superior, but as a leader, he shows extraordinary bearing unlike ordinary people, of course, he is even more generous in the face of his subordinates, because he has no boss on his head. More often than not, he plays the role of someone else's boss, in the eyes of others he is the top boss, everyone has to look at him and act according to his eyes, others are "slaves" in front of him, and he is the master, it is such a status and identity that makes Guan Yu domineering, and of course, it is a little more kingly. He is not only the master of people but also the master of things, he is a decision-maker who thinks about big things every day. Therefore, his whole person's physiognomy also looks more macroscopic, very atmospheric, compared with Guan Yu, Du Yi is just a county order, and what he considers is the political affairs of a county, although he also has the temperament of a leader, but when he came to Guan Yu, he was still much inferior, and Du Yu saw how different Guan Yu was as a high-level person.

Under Zhang Ji's introduction, Guan Yu met Du Ji. Guan Yu immediately asked Du Ji about some of Guan Yu's experience in governing the county, Du Ji said that the head is the way, the mouth is like a river, and the talk is endless, from the social, economic, agricultural, population, judicial and other aspects of Guan Yu made a report, before taking over Zheng County was simply a mess, and then after Du Ji concentrated on the business for six years. The development of Zheng County has come to the forefront of the entire Jingzhao, not only the development of agriculture, the population has increased, but also the scale of the county has expanded a lot, Guan Yu fully affirmed Du Ji's ability to govern the county, but Guan Yu does not understand why such an outstanding talent has not been able to improve his outstanding political achievements?

Zhang Ji smiled and said to Guan Yu: "Virtuous brother! Is this world a mix of us? It's good for people like us to have an official position, how can it be so easy to get promoted, one is that there is no money, and the other is how can no one be promoted? What does it mean to do well these days? What is called a bad job, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you say you can't do it, you can't do it! ”

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, Guan Yu smiled helplessly, it is true that since Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the entire court has been corrupt, especially after the Ten Standing Servants controlled the government, the atmosphere of the entire officialdom was even more smoky, no money and no background, and it has basically become a myth to want to be promoted, although officials like Zhang Ji and Du Ji have outstanding political achievements, but because they are honest and honest, there is no possibility of promotion, and he can go to this day is not comparable to others, Guan Yu understands the difficulties of Zhang Ji and Du Ji as officials, that sentence is good" A soldier who is not a general is not a good soldier", as an official in the officialdom, who does not aspire to soar? But the grim truth sometimes prevents many people from moving forward, which cannot but be said to be sad

Guan Yu, as a person mixed in the officialdom of the military field, deeply understood the pain points of the two, and Guan Yu immediately said to Du Ji: "How old are you this year?" ”

"I was born in 162 A.D.!" Du Ji immediately replied.

Guan Yu said, "One year younger than me, one year old in Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to cheer up at this age!" ”

Du Ji smiled and said: "General Guan made fun of it, in fact, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, as long as I can do my best to do something for the people of Zheng County!" ”

"Well said! Du Ji just based on your words, I will recognize you, by the way, there is a position, I don't know if you are interested? Guan Yu continued.

Du Ji asked, "I don't know what the general means?" ”

Guan Yu immediately said: "There is a position of Yongzhou pastor, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Yongzhou Mu? General Guan can't be joking, right? Du Yi couldn't believe his ears. Even Zhang Ji, who was on the side, widened his eyes and showed a surprised expression.

Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them in such a state, and teased: "Haha、、、、、、、、ha ”

Zhang Ji and Du Ji looked at each other at each other at the same time when Guan Yu ridiculed them like this, and the two of them were at a loss! Guan Yu continued: "Actually, who doesn't want to be promoted? What men pursue is power, position and honor, and what are you doing without these bastards! It's just that I don't have this opportunity, and now I'm giving you this opportunity. Let you be a man again, but I have a little request, that is, you must do a good job if I put you in this position, and if you don't do well, I can replace you at any time! ”

Guan Yu's words made Zhang Ji and Du Ji stunned for a moment, they didn't know what kind of medicine Guan Yu sold in this gourd, what he wanted to do, at this moment Guan Yu continued to speak: "You see patronizing and talking, I have been patronizing and wandering around for most of the day, and I haven't even eaten, and now I am hungry!" Look at which of you arranges the arrangement! I'm telling you, if this meal is not arranged well. Don't point at you, official! ”

After Guan Yu finished speaking, Du Yi hurriedly greeted: "You see patronizing and talking about things, the two adults are rare to come to this county, especially General Guan, it is an honor for everyone to come to this county, it is not a secret that I have been friends with Lord Zhang for many years, but I am a close friend, General Guan is also Lord Zhang's sworn brother, naturally not an outsider, today is not a personal relationship, we also have to drink well, to me here, of course, I have to Zhang Luo, let's have a drunk party to my house to talk!" After Du Ji finished speaking, he beckoned Guan Yu and Zhang Ji to go to the Zheng County Mansion.

The temperature in Zheng County, which has entered winter, is still much warmer than that in the west. It is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains and has a relatively warm and humid climate. Although it has entered the harsh winter, the temperature here is still above zero, which can be described as a pleasant climate, Guan Yu came to the Zheng County Mansion, Du Yi hurriedly greeted the food, so many years as a county magistrate, he has not been less social, but he has always been famous for the simplicity of the meal. Although this Zheng County has developed, but the county government is shabby and ruthless, not only the decoration is old, even the funds are shabby and ruthless, so many years Du Ji has promoted the development of Zheng County, but for the tax in addition to the tasks specified above, he has no addition. Later, Zheng County's economy went up, and the taxes collected by Du Ji also increased, but in addition to paying these taxes, they were used to repay the debts owed by the previous development and the expenses of the county's staff, so the county's funds were very limited, and the above did not issue various funds for several years, but Du Ji himself still had his own money, and most of his taxes were used as funds, so he basically did not save any income

The arrival of Guan Yu this time can be said to be the Buddha settled in Zheng County, he Du Yi has never seen such a big leader, and this Guan Yu is also Zhang Ji's righteous brother, Zhang Ji and himself have formed a deep friendship with themselves in Sanfu for so many years, both of them are loyal and righteous people have quite intersections, and Guan Yu is Zhang Ji's righteous brother naturally will not be wrong, Guan Yu can come to Zheng County It seems that this is the result of Zhang Ji's recommendation, Du Yi is a smart person who understands the purpose of Guan Yu's trip, and naturally does not dare to slack off, Guan Yu has seen such a person, His small county is really stretched! The first time it can't be shabby, but how can Du Ji take out so many silver taels to entertain Guan Yu?

Zhang Ji privately found Du Ji and instructed him: "Bohou! Do you know that General Lu Daoguan is huge! Not to mention the quality of the food, this wine has to be managed! ”

After hearing this, Du Ji was embarrassed: "I'm not afraid of Brother Ren's jokes, I'm a little strapped now!" ”

"Ha Lu, Ha 、、、、、、、、 I know that you are strapped for me, you can use it with some silver!" After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he took out some silver taels from his body and gave them to Du Ji, Du Ji took the silver taels and wanted to send someone to buy some wine, when Guan Yu came over and said, "What did you two say?" It's just a matter of preparing some meals, and by the way, I don't drink, so everyone just eats a light meal, and there is no need to waste it. I was joking the other time, but I mainly have something to tell you! ”

As soon as Guan Yu said this, the stone in Du Yi's heart finally fell to the ground, and hurriedly went to greet the back kitchen to prepare to go, and soon Du Yi prepared a table of meals for Guan Yu and everyone in this Zheng County Mansion, Guan Yu and everyone sat down and looked at the table full of food, and couldn't help but scratch their heads a little! There was not a single meat dish on the table, all of them were vegetarian dishes. Where have these people received such a cold reception, not to mention that Guan Yu is Chen Gong, Zhang Ji, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun who have eaten such a meal, Guan Yu saw that everyone was a little embarrassed and immediately said: "I haven't eaten such a banquet for a long time!" What a novelty! If you want to eat such a meal, you have to come here, I always want to eat but have never had a chance to eat, this is back to you, I finally found it, come and eat! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he moved the chopsticks first, and everyone saw that the master moved the chopsticks, and naturally moved the chopsticks.

Guan Yu didn't take the chopsticks and ate the vegetables in a big gulp, Du Yi felt a lot better when he saw this, this shabby meal finally didn't make Guan Yu smile. So that he couldn't get off the stage, Guan Yu ate and announced a decision to everyone, he said: "I am very happy to come to Zheng County today, especially when I found that Du Ji Du County Ling this talent is really worth the trip, Du County Ling reigned for six years, Zheng County is governed by political communication, economic prosperity, population life, can be described as a model among many county orders, I decided to promote Du Ji as Yongzhou Thorn History (Zheng Erpin). Zhang Ji temporarily served as the West Liangmu (Zheng Yipin) to be reported to the imperial court and waited for the approval of His Majesty the Son of Heaven, and Gao Shun was the general of Anxi (Zheng Sanpin). Duan Xuan is Jing Zhaoyin (Zheng Erpin), Jia Xu is Xiliang Thorn Shi (Zheng Erpin), Chen Gong Temporary Yongzhou Mu (Zheng Yipin) and others will be approved by His Majesty the Son of Heaven after reporting to the imperial court, Zhou Cang is the commander of the navy (Zheng Sanpin), and Li Yan is the general of the Dianjun (Zheng Sanpin), and this decision was announced today, and everyone will go to various posts tomorrow. Such a decision is I have repeatedly considered and considered, everyone must work together with one heart and one mind to live up to my expectations, in the new post to learn and make a career, you are all my Guan Yu confidants, today you will be promoted to this position. It is also important to you, I hope you will not let me down, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a performance! I also believe that the revival of Xiliang and Guanzhong is just around the corner! ”

After Guan Yu finished speaking, everyone present applauded, this decision surprised everyone, Du Yi thought that Guan Yu had made a joke to himself a while ago and said forget it, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to come to the truth, so as soon as he announced it in public and appointed it with these people who had not heard of it, Du Yi believed that what Guan Yu said was true, he wouldn't be dreaming, right? Du Ji couldn't believe this fact, his seven-grade county order became the history of Yongzhou Thorn, and he crossed five levels, oh my God! Is this true? Does Guan Yu really have so much power to let himself take on this role? Du Ji was a little skeptical about this appointment.

Zhang didn't expect that he would say goodbye to Sanfu and go to Xiliang all of a sudden, although this position is more important, but it is still a little incredible for him to go to the land of Xiliang, why didn't he promote himself to Yongzhou Mu? And I have to go to Xiliang by myself!

Chen Gong became Yongzhou Mu this time, he knew in his heart that this was Guan Yu's weight to him, and wanted him to take on a heavy responsibility, and to give him a real position is to let him experience and experience, Chen Gong has a deep strategy and has the experience of doing a county order in Zhongmu County, and after following Guan Yu, he has also repeatedly offered strange tricks, Chen Gong has also learned a lot of skills in city defense reinforcement with Guan Yu, Chen Gong is also loyal to Guan Yu and has won Guan Yu's trust, Guan Yu let him take on the position of this feudal official this time, which is also the result of overall consideration, and believes that Chen Gongzhi can be competent for this position by taking into account the overall situation, can also lead his subordinates to govern Yongzhou well!

As for putting Gao Shun in Yongzhou, it is also another consideration of Guan Yu, Gao Shun is brave and righteous, following Guan Yu before and after the saddle, born and dead to be loyal to Guan Yu, Gao Shun is also a very strategic general, especially in the city attack and defense has shown extraordinary talent, Gao Shun is an all-rounder, and the force is also passable, enough to take on a big responsibility, this is also the old man who followed Guan Yu has withstood the test of time and difficulties and is unswerving, Guan Yu firmly believes that Gao Shun can assist Chen Gong to become a great thing.

Afterwards, Du Ji found Zhang Ji to ask about the incident, and Zhang Ji told Du Ji: "Bohou! Congratulations on your ascension! General Guan can't be wrong with spitting foam, you are ready to go to work! ”

Du Ji found Guan Yu again, Guan Yu told him: "You and I are quite the same age, we didn't know each other before, it was for the recommendation of my brother Zhang Ji to let us know, but through research I am still sure of your talent, as the saying goes, 'A thousand gold is easy to get, Talent is hard to find', I Guan Yu is not short of money or material lack is a talent like you, this time I will put you in the position of Yongzhou Thorn History, I hope you can contribute to the affairs of Yongzhou, so that Guanzhong will also develop like your Zheng County, this is the heavy responsibility entrusted to you, of course, all aspects of the salary and treatment will not be bad for you, if you do a good job, you will be promoted! ”

"Du Ji is grateful to General Guan for his kindness, although there is nothing to reciprocate, General Guan is assured that Du Ji will live up to the general's trust and work hard to do things in Guanzhong!" Du Ji immediately said. (To be continued......)
