Originally, under ordinary circumstances, with the grade of Jiang Wan's current official position, even if he reported on his work, he would not be able to see Wang Xu at all, and at most he would be able to go to Tian Feng or Guo Jia. And he is not qualified to address the lord, so he can only use other honorific titles or honorific official positions. This has nothing to do with whether he is loyal or not, but because the title of the lord implies the relationship between the lord and the minister, and the higher the status of the lord, the higher the status of the retainer.

In this era, in the case of the same retainer, the official position does not fully represent the status. Because it is very likely that he will be this official today, but tomorrow he will be transferred to that official because of some needs, and his grade will be reduced, and his salary will also be reduced, but his status will not be reduced, and it is normal that he may even be raised. In order to ensure the interests of the officials and generals under the account in this frequent transfer, they were given knighthoods and given food estates. The grade is low, and the income is also less, but there are a lot of food estates, and there is no problem in terms of income.

Therefore, most of the time, the retainers affectionately call each other their names, except for the close ministers who are very close to the lord, almost no official name. Like Dong He and Liu Xian, they all call each other the table characters, and when they only call Guo Jia and Tian Feng, they call Guo Junshi or Tian Beijia to highlight their respect. However, this is limited to high-level groups, and if ordinary officials and soldiers who have not entered this group also call themselves lords, it means that they are challenging the authority of their retainers and challenging the class ideas of this era, and the status of officials will be more confused.

Therefore, for Jiang Wan, meeting Wang Xu will be a very important day. I have studied hard since I was a child and cultivated my skills, just so that one day I can show my talents. And in his mind, Wang Xu was originally a loyal and famous family, well aware of Wen Taowu's strategy, and benevolent, and he was a master worth following. In addition, he was so important to him, he was first promoted to Sima of other departments, and entrusted the weight of the Lingling barbarians. Now he has summoned him personally. It really made him full of hope for the future.

He understands that if he is really directly promoted to Fa Cao Peng as said in the "Wang Master's Book" yesterday, it means that he will officially enter the high-level of the General's Mansion and become Wang Xu's direct subordinate from now on. When he thought of this, he felt even more excited, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

Although Wang Xu told him that the time of the audience was a moment. But he couldn't wait to get up and freshen up at six o'clock, and he also bathed and changed his clothes, waiting for the hour to come.

Wang Xu didn't know that Jiang Wan was so grand, and he was about to meet the emperor in time. After a full sleep, I woke up early in the morning and felt refreshed, and I finished practicing martial arts routinely. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, he leisurely drank morning tea in the pavilion, watched the swimming fish in the pool, and waited for Jiang Wan to ask to see.

Just as he slowly threw the fish food in his hand into the pool with great interest, watching the fish compete fiercely, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him. "My lord! Subordinates have something to report. ”

Although he knew that someone was coming from behind, Wang Xu was still a little surprised when he heard the voice of the person coming. It's just that he hasn't looked back. He looked at the fish swimming in the pool. smiled faintly: "Hehe! Shan Huai. Didn't you go to the Central Plains? When did you come back? ”

"Back to my lord, I just arrived this morning!" Although Wang Xu did not turn around. But Shan Huai still walked quickly to three meters behind him and saluted respectfully.

Wang Xu smiled leisurely: "How about you rush to the Central Plains in person?" Is there any gain, and what is the current situation in the Central Plains? ”

"It's messy." Shan Huai did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Lord, the current situation in the Central Plains is very chaotic, and the competition is extremely fierce. In the case of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers competing against each other, they are also annexing each other. Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, had a good relationship with Cao Cao and was more inclined to Yuan Shao, so he had a bad relationship with Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao. More than a month ago, on the grounds that he refused to provide supplies to the Assassin's Mansion, he suddenly sent troops to attack. After a fierce battle for half a month, he had killed Qiao Mao ten days ago, occupied Dongjun, and protected his subordinate general Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun. And the Yanzhou Thorn Shizhi Office was changed to Jiyin Dingtao, and the land of Dongjun, Dongpingguo and Jiyin has been included as the sphere of influence. ”

"Huh! Liu Dai's courage is not small, Qiao Mao is the son of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuan. The prestige of the Qiao family in the Yanzhou area is also very high, and he will have a headache in the future. Shaking his head with a smile, Wang Xu waved his hand and threw out all the remaining fish food, then clapped his hands and turned around.

Shan Huai hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "Lord, Wang Qiu should be your clansman." ”

"Oh? He is also from the Shanyang royal family? ”

"Hmm!" Shan Huai nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Xu slowly sat down on the stone bench in the center of the pavilion, pondered for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Hehe, whatever!" Since he is willing to follow others and refuses to move to Jingnan, he will not care about him. You go on! ”

"No!" Shan Huai looked at Wang Xu's face, and did not hesitate, and immediately opened his mouth again: "In addition, that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe is dead. ”

Wang Xu suddenly interjected strangely. "How did he die? When the princes were discussing Dong, didn't he, Kong Rong and others still clamore to participate? Later, because of the resurgence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, he and Kong Rong returned to the army to quell the rebellion, how can you say that you will die if you die? ”

Hearing this, Shan Huai's cold face suddenly revealed a hint of a smile. "Huh! This Jiao He is a high-minded, greedy person who is afraid of death, he fights against the Yellow Turban with excellent Qingzhou soldiers and horses, but he does not dare to fight the enemy at all, and often flees from the wind, which makes Kong Rong and other counties in Qingzhou very dissatisfied. Some time ago, he was seriously ill, and Kong Rong took the opportunity to write an article to satirize him, which made him angry to death. ”

"Angry?" Wang Xu was also a little crying and laughing, shook his head, and couldn't help laughing: "If he can be angry to death by a writer like Kong Rong, he can be regarded as dying vigorously." So how about the shape of Qingzhou now? ”

"It's very bad, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is developing rapidly, and the counties seem to have some feeling of being suppressed by force. Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao, in order to win over Zang Hong, who is currently more prestigious, made a record of his Qingzhou assassination, and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and others were also very supportive, so Zang Hong had already taken office, and the imperial court also agreed with this performance. ”

"Zang Hong?" Wang Xu chattered, but shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "Although Zang Hong has temperament and is quite capable of governing politics, he is not as good as his father Zang Min in military affairs. ”

As he spoke, he didn't want to talk about these inconsequential things anymore, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this." What is the current situation of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others? What about Dong Zhuo's side? ”

Hearing this, Shan Huai also understood what Wang Xu meant, and quickly changed the topic. He replied: "Dong Zhuo didn't make any big moves. Seeing that the princes were competing with each other, they were also happy to watch, and they reinstated the position of Taishi, and took his own position, which was higher than that of the hundred officials and ministers. At present, Chang'an has been annexed for pleasure, and a large number of people have been dispatched to build Yiwu and hoard gold and silver treasures. I don't know what I want to do. However, some time ago, he sent Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin Xiu, Zhijin Wu Hu Wuban, General Master Wu Xiu, Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Gui'an and others out of the customs, hoping to win over and appease the princes. ”

But though the princes were fighting, they were very unanimous with each other. Yuan Shu made people kill Yin Xiu, and Yuan Shao also united with Wang Kuang and others. The rest of the envoys were killed, and only Han Rong was spared because of his high morality and respect, and he was a great Confucian today. Since then, Dong Zhuo no longer cares about the affairs of the princes, divides his troops to guard the dangers, and controls the imperial court. And Yuan Shao, some time ago, united with Han Fu. Dispatch the former Lelang County Taishou Zhang Qi to persuade Liu Yu to become emperor. But it was sternly rejected by Liu Yu. For the time being, there was no other move, but this move was strongly reprimanded by the other princes led by Yuan Shu. Cao Cao, who was faintly attached to Yuan Shao, seemed to be very opposed, and he was still stationed alone in Hanoi, not knowing what he wanted. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu already knew in his heart that it would not be long before Yuan Shao would find a way to annex Jizhou, and Cao Cao would soon see through the situation, cross the Yellow River south, and establish his own foundation. However, for himself, these people are not a threat for the time being, they just need to have a general understanding of the development of the current situation and always grasp the advantages in their hands.

After pondering for a moment, he didn't say anything more, and asked instead, "What about Liu Bei and Sun Jian?" ”

"Liu Bei was very suppressed in the plains, although he still respected Han Fu, but Han Fu was not very at ease with him, and the specific situation was not yet known. And Sun Jian of Wu County didn't hear of any big moves, but just hoarded soldiers and horses in Wu County and trained soldiers. Because he has a grudge against Yuan Shao, he is now closer to Yuan Shu. In order to make him a foreign aid, Yuan Shu also praised him as a broken general. However, Sun Jian's subordinates can't say the specific situation on his side, and when Liang Rui comes back, he should be able to have exact information. All in all, all parties are in chaos at the moment, and only Jingzhou and Bashu are the most stable places. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly smiled and said: "It's good to be chaotic, otherwise how can we easily get Jingzhou." ”

Shan Huai responded with a smile, didn't say anything more, looked at Wang Xu's face, and continued: "Lord, if there is nothing else, the subordinates will retire first." ”

"Hmmm! Good. Wang Xu nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "You are traveling around, go back and rest first!" Don't get too tired. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Shan Huai smiled and bowed, and slowly turned to leave.

Looking at Shan Huai's distant figure, Wang Xu's mood was also very good. The princes of all walks of life have not yet become a trend, and the historical changes are not too big, so as long as the naval army is completed, when the time comes, they will send troops to attack Liu Biao, take Jingbei, and make great efforts. It only takes three or two years to go straight to Jiangdong, and at that time the north is probably still in a melee......

Shan Huai didn't leave long before Jiang Wan rushed to ask for a meeting. Thinking of yesterday's disguised jokes, Wang Xu couldn't wait, and wanted to know what Jiang Wan would look like when he saw him.

Sure enough, when Jiang Wan, under the guidance of Tian Feng and Guo Jia, slowly walked to Wang Xu's hand, he was stunned. It wasn't until Tian Feng and Guo Jia bowed and saluted and shouted "Lord" that he reacted, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "Xiaguan Jiang Wan, see General Wang." Yesterday, I had no eyes, failed to recognize the general's respectful face, talked nonsense, and was not polite, and I hope the general will forgive his sins! ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Xu immediately laughed, and then personally stepped forward to help Jiang Wan up, and soothed him when he heard the words: "Gongyan and I haven't been able to get a taste, and it's normal not to know each other, but it's my pretending to be the identity of my eldest brother Wang Kai, Gongyan don't be surprised." I also had the idea to put aside my identity and talk to you, which is why I did this. ”

Hearing this, Tian Feng and Guo Jia, who didn't know why, also understood instantly, and immediately laughed.

Guo Jia said: "Gongyan, the lord has always been approachable in private, Corporal Lixian, you will have to get used to it in the future!" ”

In fact, Jiang Wan was very moved at this time. Wang Xu can personally lower his status to visit, which is extremely valuable in this era. What's more, when you find that you don't recognize it, you can put aside your humility and talk to each other with all your heart, in this era when the concept of class is extremely heavy, if you don't have an extraordinary mind and bearing, if you don't take him very seriously, you can't do this kind of thing at all.

Looking at Wang Xu's gentle smile, the young Jiang Wan had an indescribable excitement in his heart, and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "The general's courtesy, the subordinate will never forget!" ”

In fact, Wang Xu didn't expect that his actions would have such an effect, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, let's go, don't be unkind, go into the pavilion and sit down." ”

As the four of them sat down, Wang Xu quickly turned the topic to military and political affairs, and Jiang Wan's mood slowly calmed down. It's just that at this moment, he is expressing his heart, so he speaks very actively, and in the end, almost Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others keep asking questions, and he answers eloquently. In this regard, Guo Jia and Tian Feng did not care, but asked questions and answers, and felt that Jiang Wan was indeed a great talent, and they appreciated it very much.

It wasn't until noon that Xu Shu came over and asked everyone to go to dinner together, and then stopped. The three of them didn't want to bother, but Wang Xu kept them all by deadlifting. When the wine was drunk, Wang Xu also took advantage of the situation to make a new appointment, officially promoted Jiang Wan to Cao Peng, the general's office, and also recruited his younger brother Liu Min to temporarily replace his original position......
