"The county office?"

"Yes, the county office is recruited, and the three of you will also go with me to the county office."

Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and scratched his head, quite puzzled: "It's just that at the beginning, didn't we want to develop under Gongsun Zhan?" ”

"That was true at first."

Liu Jian bent down and pulled down a handful of grass from the ground and put it to Da Qingyu's mouth: "But at that time, I wanted to sacrifice the Xianbei prisoners as a merit, but his Gongsun Zhan didn't allow it, and now I took out the secret matter related to Tanshi Huai to him, then what I want to get in exchange for can't just succumb to the county office, at least go up again." ”

Liu Jian's words couldn't help but remind Liu Bei of Gongsun Zhan's fiery temper, which was really a lord who refused to suffer.

"Boguita, I still want to keep you here, right?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

Liu Jian brushed his horsehair and said: "My brother still knows this person, and he is really unhappy when he sees that I insist on asking him to recommend me to the county office." ”

"But you convinced him anyway?" Jian Yong looked at Liu Jian approvingly: "This persuasion took a few days?" ”

"Negotiation, naturally, it will take more time, and my senior brother Gongsun is still extremely stubborn in his bones, so he has to grind hard and soak hard."

Su Shuang on the side really felt a little embarrassed at the moment, the relationship between the four tigers in Zhuo County was good, and everyone knew about it, but their brothers were talking about these confidential things at the moment, and it seemed a little redundant to stand aside and listen.

But at this time, Liu Jian turned his head and smiled at Su Shuang: "Brother Su, what we are talking about today is all heartfelt words between brothers, you were also invited by Jian here today, presumably my brother also knows in his heart, I regard you as a brother, right?" ”

When Su Shuang heard this, he was very moved in his heart, he had promised Liu Jian to advance and retreat with them before, even if Liu Jian did not act like this, he would definitely not regret it for the sake of his future.

But now Liu Jian still treats each other as a brother, and Rao is a philistine like him, so he can't help but be shocked.

"Shaolangjun treats me as a brother, Su is moved, but I only want to be driven by Shaolangjun from below, I have nothing else to think about, and I dare not be called a brother."

Liu Jian smiled and didn't force him.

Jian Yong pulled the topic back again: "Ah Jian, how did you persuade Gongsun County Jun?" ”

"You don't need to be persuaded, just be reasonable."

"What's the truth?"

"Let's not mention the matter of making meritorious contributions out of the fortress for the time being, but it is determined that Tanshi Huai is seriously ill, and the credit must be recorded on his and our heads first, of course, if we talk about the merit of intelligence, Gongsun Chan is the main one, and we are the deputy, this is inevitable, we can't fight for this matter, but before the credit is confirmed, the news must not leak."

Jian Yong suddenly realized: "Since the news can't be leaked, then Gongsun Zhan can only be used to the outside world, there are only a handful of people, he has just arrived in Zhuo County, and those county officials, county lieutenants and subordinates under his hands are paid, and the thief Cao is afraid that it is useless, if there is an urgent matter to the state and county, the best thing is to use you, an old classmate who knows, after all, everyone has the same interests, this is the most certain." ”

Liu Jian smiled and said: "That's exactly the case, so recommending me to serve in the county is the most in line with the current situation, and even if it is to raise troops to go out of the fortress, it is not up to Senior Brother Gongsun to have the final say. ”

"You're saying that if you're requisitioned to the county office, you'll have to take care of it?"

"At least from Gongsun Bokwe's point of view, he doesn't have a better candidate at the moment."

Liu Bei opened his mouth to say something, but then swallowed the words back.

Then he opened his mouth again, but in the end he didn't say it.

Liu Bei's actions naturally did not escape Liu Jian's eyes.

"What does my brother say?"

"Deran, I just don't know, what is the relationship between Lu Fujun of Zhuo County and Gongsun Bogui, so that he can sell his face and conquer you?"

"Lu Fujun has nothing to do with Bogui, but he and Gongsun Bogui's father-in-law are both the former officials of the current Taiwei Wenhuangong, and Gongsun Bogui was able to worship under Wenhuangong in the past, and this relationship is indispensable."

Liu Bei suddenly said: "Although the study of Taiwei Liu Kuan and Lu Shi are not the same genus, but colleagues for many years, and they are all famous Confucians in the sea, respect each other, and they all belong to the clear stream, if it seems from this relationship, if the virtuous brother can conquer for Lu Fujun, it will also return to his own lintel, which is also a good thing." ”

"Haha, what does my brother mean is that if I conquer for Lu Fujun, I will become his former official in the future?"

"Exactly."

"No, Lu Fujun's conquest of me, after all, is still for the sake of Lu Shi and Gongsun Bogui's face, Lu Shi and him belong to the same family in the court, this is to sell the face of colleagues, the exchange of interests, in the final analysis, I am not his disciple."

"We are the disciples of Master Lu, it is enough to have this teacher as a signboard, and now the top priority is to do the crusade against Xianbei, and if this matter is done, our four tigers will definitely be famous in the world!"

"Deran, do you think you have a good chance of facilitating this?"

Liu Jian's expression suddenly changed solemnly: "Gongsun Bogui has sent someone to send a letter to the subject country of Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong is its old master, and he and Brother Gongsun know each other, and they will definitely not object to this matter,"

"His father-in-law, Hou Gong, moved to Shanggu in the past, and his term of office will only expire in the next year, our Lu Fujun of Zhuo County and Hou Gong are both Taiwei's former officials, and they will not object, Liaoxi County is the foundation of the Gongsun clan, no matter which master Taishou is, they have a way to convince ......"

"So it will be done?" Jian Yong's face showed joy.

"No, this just proves that the princes of Youzhou may be able to work together to promote this matter, but the key depends on the attitude of the imperial court, and there is also the side of Merging Prefecture, as well as the attitude of our Youzhou Tao Qian Tao Envoy County."

"Merge states?"

Jian Yong seemed to think of something: "Fang Bo of Bingzhou is also said to be a belligerent figure, who has often been used to manage the Hu clan for many years, as if he is called Dong and Dong ......."

Su Shuang said with a smile on the side: "Dong Zhuo! ”

"Yes, Dong Zhuo, how do you remember it so clearly?"

Su Shuang smiled: "Brother Jian forgot what I was doing?" I have been losing horses from the north and south all the year round, and the state is an important place for me to buy horses, if I don't even know who the local uncle is, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this bowl of rice now. ”

Liu Jian asked: "Dare to ask Brother Su, is this Dong envoy in the position of assassin in the state assassination, but is he the first one?" ”

"No!" Su Shuang shook his head and said: "This Dong envoy Jun is Xiping's fifth year in office, and it has been two terms so far, and it stands to reason that he should be in office next year. ”

Liu Jian nodded slowly: "This person is an old figure of the Liangzhou department, and the people in charge of the army are mostly Liangzhou figures, if you want to succeed in the battle of Xianbei, you must have the consent of this person." ”

Bingzhou is the gateway to the north of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the front line of the conflict between the Han and Xianbei.

The local people of Bingzhou are fierce, and all the people can be soldiers, but in the war against Xianbei, many of the people who hold the highest military power in the Bingzhou army are Liangzhou people, one is because of the shackles of the three mutual laws, so that the local good generals in Liangzhou can not take up high-level positions, and the other is that Liangzhou can recruit those who are accustomed to fighting can be comparable to those who are used to fighting, so they are more diligent.

It's just that in the past year, the local officials of the Liangzhou department are not very popular, because Duan Cheng, a veteran general of the Liangzhou department and the leader of the Liangzhou people in the court, committed suicide seven months ago, so the veteran Liangzhou soldiers in many places also began to be restless and anxious.

The situation in the imperial court has undoubtedly affected the localities.
