Chapter 155: Confucian Heroes in Troubled Times
Of course, Xu Chu didn't expect that the heroes would be about to compete in the Central Plains in the near future, so naturally it was only Wei Xuan's words to comfort everyone.
Later, Wei Xuan left several letters to Xu Chu, which were written to the officials of the Yuzhou Assassin History Department, these people were all locals, who were once recruited by Wei Su when he was doing the Yuzhou Assassin History, and asked them to take care of Xujia Village. Xu Chu knew that this was Wei Xuan's intention, so he left the letter to a few old people in the village, and asked him to send someone to the state capital another day.
In the end, the local tyrant Xu Chu was the east, more than seven or eight people, plus the strong men of the village, had a full meal, and spent the night in Xujia Village that night, and it was inevitable that they would have to have a lively discussion.
When he set off on the second day, Wei Xuan looked back at the mighty crowd and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fighting the autumn wind along the way, the effect was still good, and he kidnapped three tiger generals and more than 700 good soldiers. When he returns to Yingchuan Yangzhai, he can really start training recruits. In fact, there is not much time left for him, and the next focus is on equipment.
Wei Xuan took people except for Lu State, basically other counties and countries went, and finally chose to go to Runan, Runan is a must go, because of the great favor sent by Yuan Shao, Wei Xuan ??????????????? I can't help but appreciate it, of course, Xu Shao of Runan Pingyu must visit, these two brothers have been commenting on the moon and have mastered a large part of Shilin public opinion, and now Wei Xuan is on the rise, and he urgently needs prestige, of course, he also expects Xu Shao to raise his reputation for himself.
No matter how much water Xu Shao's Yuedan comment has, Wei Xuan feels that Xu Shao's comment on Cao Cao is very pertinent or insightful, "A capable minister in the peaceful world, a hero in the troubled times!" ”
You must know that Cao Cao at the beginning was actually a gentleman of the second generation of officials, Xu Shao looked down on him, and even refused to say it, not taking Cao Cao's generous gifts in his eyes, and was finally threatened by Cao Cao to say what he really thought in his heart. Whether it was a hero or a traitor, Cao Cao truly became one of the masters of that era.
In order to build momentum for himself in advance, Wei Xuan even asked Jinyiwei to publicize what he had done in the local area this year before he set off from Yingchuan.
However, according to the rules, Wei Xuan still has to visit Xu Xuan, the former general of Duliao, the son of the former general of Liao, who can become the Taishou of Runan, the largest county in the world, and his natural reputation, ability, and background are quite good.
However, Wei Xuan wanted Xu Xuan to have nothing to do with each other, so when he waited for the name post on the ground, when Xu Xuan met him, he was just on business, and he was ready to say the purpose of his trip directly as soon as possible, no matter what the result was, he left directly, he Wei Xuan was fighting all the way to the autumn breeze, but he was not a beggar, and he didn't want to see people's faces in the end.
Of course, to Wei Xuan's surprise, another person who wanted to visit specifically, Runan Gong Cao Xu Shao, was also at the scene. Wei Xuan regretted a little that he left Dian Wei and Xu Chu outside the mansion, if Xu Shao saw the two rugged men behind him, I don't know what to say?
"Zhongdao, you are really a young hero, the old man has been famous for a long time, I originally wanted you to come back to Runan for the first time, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time." When I met, this Taishou, who was in his early fifties, praised Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan naturally had to be humble, so he said: "Mingfu is falsely praised, and heroes dare not be." Xuan also only relied on the voice of the family, and by chance he made some contributions, and was valued by the Son of Heaven and the ministers. Xuan originally wanted to visit the Ming Mansion first, but there was a friend in Chenliu at that time, and later passed by Chen Guo and met Kong Beihai, so he went all the way to the east. ”
Xu Xuan nodded and said: "The old man heard about Kong Wenju, and it was really difficult for him, now Qingzhou is full of yellow scarves, if it is not for the power to return to heaven, Kong Wenju is afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in Beihai." It's Zhongdao that your move is good, and I was surprised to hear that you escorted Kong Wenju all the way to Beihai with righteousness, but it is normal to look at what you have done in the past, so the old man said that you are a young hero. Xu Gongcao in our county also praised you. ”
Saying that, Xu Xuan introduced Xu Shao to Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuanxin said that this magic stick really praises me a lot on weekdays? If this is the case, if you perform well today, you can't say that you will be able to leave a good word, thinking so in your heart, but you are very respectful and bowing your hand: "Xuan has seen Xu Jun." ”
Xu Shao smiled and nodded in response, this is what the Yuedan comment made him arrogant, you must know that Wei Xuan's way, whether it is Tao Qian, Xue Li, or Chen Wang Liu Chong, the Minister of State, Luo Jun is very polite to himself, after all, he ??????????????? It's the Wei family, and there is still this captain who is more than 2,000 stones.
Although Wei Xuan was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't express it, because he had one of the few propaganda tools in this era, so he turned to Xu Xuan and said: "Kong Beihai is a famous man in the world, and he has also been engaged in Yuzhou. ”
Wei Xuan knew that escorting Kong Rong to Beihai was a righteous act, but in the eyes of some villains, he might just take the opportunity to brush up his prestige and even leave his post without permission. So he still has to find a reason to prevaricate.
Xu Xuan bowed: "No matter what, you have a great credit for Kong Wenju to be able to successfully reach Beihai Zhongdao." It is correct for the imperial court to send you to train the army, and we have Zhongdao in Yuzhou, and you can be considered to be able to ensure the safety of one party. ”
Wei Xuan saw that he talked about the training of the troops, and naturally he was inevitably bitter: "The Ming Mansion doesn't know, although Xuan asked his uncle to circle a piece of land in Yangzhai, but the army is too small to use, there are more people, food consumption is large, and the equipment has not been settled so far, I am really worried about the emperor's grace and the trust of the general." ”
"Take your time, take your time, I also wrote to me at the beginning, although Runan has a large number of people and a wide land, it also has a lot of expenses, and there are more county soldiers and county soldiers than other counties, and there are more officials. If you plan to set up a battalion in Runan, the old man is also welcome, we can draw out 20,000 stone and 4 million in food, and there is a shortage of soldiers in this county in terms of weapons. ”
Wei Xuan slandered in his heart, what do you mean when you say that there are many soldiers in Runan County, and there are many soldiers in the county, and at the same time you welcome me to set up camp in Runan? The 37 counties of Runan occupy half of Yuzhou, so such a little thing is considered stingy, Xu Xuan still has the face to mention Yuan Shao. However, it is generous to be generous with Huang Wan, the assassin of Yuzhou. Thinking that he still has to go to Runan, the Yuan clan's residence, and still get a share, his heart is a little balanced. As long as the grain can last three or five thousand people and six hundred for a year, it will be enough, and at this time next year, the Han River should be stormy, Yuan Shao will be able to leave, and the Kwantung princes should also prepare to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
"Thank you for the strong support of the Ming government, thank you for the understanding of the people of Runan, the current personnel are limited, and there is no plan to set up camp in Runan for the time being, if there are small groups of thieves around Runan County, the Ming government can send someone to notify Xuan, and Xuan Dingdang will lead the troops to come."
Xu Xuan smiled and said nothing, obviously what he just said was some compliments, and he didn't really expect Wei Xuan to lead the troops to calm down when a large number of thieves appeared, seeing that the two were silent, Xu Shao couldn't help but speak after all.
"Zhongdao is young and promising, both civil and military, studied under Confucianism, is anxious and righteous, is really a long drought, a Confucian man in troubled times!"
Wei Xuan was kneeling on the mat, listening to Xu Shao's previous words and still a little proud, and when he waited for the last comment, Wei Xuan almost fainted, what is this?
】
Cao Mengde, I'm a cunning man, I won't let go of your daughter-in-law!
Wei Xuan knew that Xu Shao was not what Cao Cao said, but Cao Cao made a joke at the beginning, Confucianism messed with the law, chivalry violated the realm with martial arts, and Hedong Wei Zhongdao Confucianism was also! The words of the day are vivid, and Cao Cao's comfortable appearance.
Wei Xuan glanced at Xu Shao, and scolded Cao Cao in his heart to scold Xu Shao, he was still too shou to speak, young hero, it's good if you praise me for being young and promising, where did I mess with the law, where did I violate the border, the Chinese language is so rich???????????????, why do you use the word Confucianism. According to Xu Shao's meaning, Wei Xuanwen and Wu are both civil and military, and he is a model of heroic righteousness in Shilin. But Wei Xuan sounded like that.
Xu Shao was also a little surprised to see Wei Xuan's silence, his identity was so praising a young man, he didn't even have the least response, this is no longer something that a young man can explain. Xu Shao couldn't get a response from Wei Xuan, so he turned to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan was also a little surprised, it is said that Xu Shao's evaluation of Wei Xuan is also high, but the young and noble Wei Jiazi is more ambitious, and it seems that he is not satisfied with Xu Zijiang's evaluation.
After a temporary silence, Wei Xuan also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said to Xu Shao: "Gong Cao praises falsely, Xuan has no merit in Yuzhou, and the Ganlin of the long-term drought does not dare to be." Xuande is shallow, not proficient in scriptures, and not proficient in martial arts, and Confucian heroes dare not be ashamed. ”
Xu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Why should Zhongdao be too modest, I have heard about Jun in Hedong, Xingyang and Yuzhou." Xu Gongcao has friends all over the world, so naturally you also know something about Zhongdao. ”
Wei Xuan was speechless, knowing that it was useless for Zi to talk a lot, he was not familiar with these two people, and Xu Xuan could use Xu Shao as a meritorious Cao, and Xu Shao took it as his responsibility to carry out the Yuedan evaluation, so he naturally couldn't stop others from saying it.
So I could only accept it, the three of them chatted for a while, Wei Xuan got up and said goodbye, Xu Xuan wanted to stay at Wei Xuan's dinner, but Wei Xuan excused himself on the grounds that it was still early and the army was still waiting for him outside the city. Xu Xuan also promised to send people to send money and grain to Yangzhai as soon as possible.
When they got out of the Taishou Mansion, Dian Wei and Xu Chu asked about Runan's harvest, and Wei Xuan told the two of them about Taishou Xu Xuan's promise and Xu Shao's evaluation.
The two didn't care about the food, and when they heard that Xu Shao was also present, they also gave Wei Xuan an evaluation, so they carefully pondered about Lai, and naturally felt that Xu Shao's evaluation was good according to the cultural level of the two. is both Confucian and chivalrous, which is really good, so I congratulated Wei Xuan again and again.
Wei Xuan can't help the two of them, he doesn't know that Xu Shao's evaluation is good or bad for him, anyway, when Cao Cao hears about it, he will definitely come back and laugh at himself.
