As we all know, if you want to achieve the hegemony of the king, the strategist is an absolutely indispensable part of it.

Chen Kan's purpose in supporting Mengge Suhan was to unify the Liaodong Peninsula, and then use the peninsula as a springboard to cross the sea and point at the Wa Kingdom.

Instead of really trying to help him get revenge, or let him run away with his own resources.

And to achieve this series of plans, judging from the news coming back from Liaodong now, it is impossible to rely on Brother Meng Suhan alone, and he can't fight his brother.

Chen Kan had to find someone with enough brains to help him.

And Chen Kan's choice of Xu Su is not that Xu Su is worthy of Chen Kan's attention, but just because Xu Su is the only one in the entire Beijing officialdom who makes Chen Kan remember.

Chen Kan still has to accept the love of the dog and a snowmobile on the Jinshui River that day.

Xu Mansion, after learning that Jinghai Hou was going to visit, the entire Xu Mansion began to get busy.

The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion led people to clean up all the snow in the yard, and ordered the middle door to be opened to dismantle the threshold, and his attitude was not grand.

Xu Su had an intuition in his heart, this time the wind passing by the big man was very likely to blow his dust into the sky, so in every detail, he asked the people in the house to be perfect and extreme.

All the details of the Xu Mansion have been sorted out, and Chen Kan's car will also arrive at the door.

Xu Suping retired from all the subordinates in the house, and only took his fat son to stand at the door to greet him personally.

The honor guard of the Hou Mansion stopped in front of the Xu Mansion, and it was not until all the neighbors around the Xu Mansion saw this scene that Chen Kan got out of the carriage slowly.

The moment he saw Chen Kan, Xu Su's youngest son Xu Zheng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

He was still full of resentment when the bobsleigh and dog were snatched away on the Jinshui River that day, but now that he saw the full guard of honor behind Chen Kan, he knew that it was his honor that his bobsleigh and dog could be looked at by such a big man.

Chen Kan slowly walked towards the Xu father and son, and said with a smile: "There is Lord Lao Xu waiting for a long time!" ”

Xu Su hurriedly took Xu Zheng to salute: "Hou Ye is here, the cold house is shining, and I also invite Hou Ye to enter the house to take a rest." ”

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Chen Kan smiled and stood at the door for a few more minutes, making sure that the picture of himself talking with the Xu father and son fell into the eyes of others, and then slowly walked into the mansion with the two.

Although the Xu Mansion dismantled the threshold, Chen Kan's honor guard could enter directly, but Chen Kan was not a pampered person after all.

Xu Fu said, he didn't mind lifting Xu Su.

Xu Su greeted Chen Kan all the way to the atrium and sat down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Of course, he knew what Chen Kan's actions meant today, and coming to visit the Xu Mansion with full honor was to convey to the outside world the news that the Marquis of Jinghai valued him very much.

Once the news spread in officialdom.

Even if his official position is still a small seven-rank pusher, this status is different from the past.

Even those few people in the Shuntian Mansion have to sell him face.

It was really hard for him to imagine that a small gesture on the Jinshui River that day would be exchanged for such a generous reward today.

Xu Su felt a feeling of being stunned by great happiness for no reason.

However, he is a civil official, and he knows better that there must be a reason for all this, and the more Chen Kan values him, the more it means that what Chen Kan needs him to do is difficult.

But as long as he can successfully catch the line of Jinghai Houfu, no matter how difficult things are, he will do them, not only to do them, but also to do them beautifully.

How many people snatched their heads and wanted to do things for the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion may not be able to see it, let alone that the Hou Mansion is now taking the initiative to come to the door.

Preparing in his heart, Xu Su waved his hand: "Come on, set up a banquet!" ”

Chen Kan sat on the main seat and looked at Xu Su with a smile.

"Lord Xu."

Xu Su immediately sat up straight: "I don't know what Master Hou commands?" ”

Chen Kan didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "Ben Hou supported a group of Jurchens in Liaodong, and now this group of Jurchens lacks a brain, I don't know if Lord Xu is interested?" ”

Xu Su's status is not enough for Chen Kan to think about anything, so Chen Kan's words are also very straightforward.

Xu Su agrees that it is naturally the best, and if he does not agree, it is a big deal for Chen Kan to change his person, for Chen Kan, Xu Su is only the first choice, but not the only choice.

Xu Su didn't hesitate too much, and immediately arched his hand and said, "The lower official is willing to be sent by the Hou Ye." ”

Chen Kan said slowly: "The conditions in that place in Liaodong are a little more difficult, but that plain has been the homeland of my Han people since ancient times. ”

"The lower officials will live up to the high expectations of the Hou Ye."

Xu Su made a promise.

Maybe others will think that Liaodong is suffering from hardship and suffering when it freezes, but for an official like Xu Su, it is the best promotion level.

"Hmm!"

Chen Kan answered again and stopped talking.

And Xu Su was also very interested and did not ask, he didn't need to know why Chen Kan wanted to unify the Liaodong Peninsula, and he didn't need to know why Chen Kan had to support a group of Jurchens, instead of directly pressing the border.

The only thing he knew was that he had completed the task assigned to him by Chen Kan beautifully, so that there would be a smooth road waiting for him in the future.

If he dies unfortunately, his fat son will also step on his bones and bring the Xu family to a new height.

Whoever doesn't do such a pie-in-the-sky thing is a fool.

Besides, Xu Su can gain a firm foothold in the officialdom of Daming, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with a fool.

The transaction was completed in a few words, and the banquet in the Xu Mansion officially began.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Chen Kan had no appetite, he couldn't eat green vegetables in the winter in the north, and a table of meat and dried vegetables could not make Chen Kan have an appetite.

After eating a few mouthfuls at random to calm Xu Su's heart, Chen Kan looked at Xu Zheng, who had been silently accompanying him silently since he came to Xu's mansion.

Xu Zheng's age looks about the same size as Zhu Zhanji, and at this moment, he may be afraid of Chen Kan's identity, and even when he eats, he only dares to let the servant girl hold the dish in front of him.

Chen Kan smiled and asked, "Has Young Master Xu ever read and read?" ”

Seeing Chen Kan's gaze looking at his son, Xu Su's face suddenly showed encouragement.

Xu Zheng cautiously glanced at his father, saw that he had a look of encouragement on his face, and then stood up and responded respectfully: "Back to the Hou Ye, the kid has been in private school for two years." ”

Chen Kan nodded, turned his head to look at Xu Su and said with a smile: "I think that the Xu family is a family of cultivation and morality, and Xu Xiaogongzi is also a good seedling who is smart and clever, so Lord Xu should cultivate it well." ”

As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, Xu Su smiled like a flower, and arched his hand: "Where is it, the child is stubborn, how can he be so evaluated by the Hou Ye." ”

Chen Kan stopped: "There are also three disobedient little skin monkeys in Benhou's family, if Lord Xu doesn't give up, you might as well let them have more contacts, peers, and talk more together, and they can play with each other more." ”

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Xu Su's eyes, and he nodded in response, "Yes." ”

Then he turned his head to look at his son and reprimanded: "Don't hurry up and thank the Hou Ye for his great kindness." ”

Xu Zheng didn't know what Chen Kan's words meant, but he also knew that this seemed to be a great opportunity for him.

Immediately leaned down and bowed: "Boy, thank you Master Hou for cultivating." ”

How can the children of the officials' families be fools, even if they are gentlemen, their cognition is far beyond that of ordinary children.

After worshipping, without waiting for Xu Su to continue speaking, he walked straight to Chen Kan's side and filled his wine glass for him.

Chen Kan also took a sip of face, and then got up and bowed his hand to Xu Su: "There is Lord Lao Xu to wait, and Ben Hou still has things, so I won't accompany him." ”

Xu Su got up and saluted: "The lower official will send it to the Hou Ye." ”

The Xu father and son sent Chen Kan out of the Xu Mansion together, and watched Chen Kan's guard of honor disappear from sight.

It was only at this moment that Xu Zheng dared to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Daddy, who is this Hou Ye?"

Xu Su rubbed his youngest son's head: "You just need to know that he is your nobleman." ”

Xu Zheng nodded as if he didn't understand, his little face was confused.

"In the future, when you get out of school, if it's okay, you can go to the Hou Mansion to get in touch more."

Xu Su smiled and warned his youngest son, but he hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't tell his son the true identity of the three little leather monkeys in the Hou Mansion.

Chen Kan returned home, and the Hou Mansion was having dinner.

As soon as the three little guys saw Chen Kan coming back, they instantly fell silent.

Respectfully saluted Chen Kan: "Teacher! ”

Chen Kan sat down and said lightly: "You have to have one more little partner, get along well in the future, don't bully others." ”

"Teacher, are you going to accept apprentices again?"

The youngest Zhu Zhanyan had a small flame in his eyes.

If Oh accepts another disciple, then he can get rid of the title of junior junior brother and become the third senior brother.

Chen Kan shook his head: "I don't plan to accept more disciples for the teacher, having the three of you is enough for the teacher's headache, who can stand it if there is another one." ”

As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, the small flame of hope in Zhu Zhanyan's eyes was instantly extinguished.

What Chen Kan said was from the heart, except for these three little guys, he didn't plan to accept other disciples.

It's really not a one-man thing.

Therefore, Chen Kan, the kid of the Xu family, didn't plan to be included in the door wall, and it was also because of the exchange that he provided a broad road for that kid.

Xu Su used his brain in exchange for Xu Zheng.

As for how far he can go in the end, that is not something that Chen Kan should care about.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi didn't say anything, anyway, whether Chen Kan accepted apprentices or not, it would not affect their status as senior brothers and second brothers.

"Alright, let's eat first!"

Zhu Yuelan gave Chen Kan a chopstick dish, and interrupted the conversation between the three without a trace.

In her opinion, Chen Kanyou's three apprentices in the family are enough, and it is better not to spread the exclusive knowledge.

After all, they will also have children in the future, isn't it good to keep them for their own children?
