Chapter 313: Martial Arts
The two walked forward along the official road for more than half a mile, and Chang Jin saw a tea stall under the big mulberry tree on the side of the road not far away, so he said: "It's not far from the county seat, how about we go over and rest for a while?"
"It's okay," Bai Susu nodded in agreement.
This tea stall is ten miles away from the county seat, the distance is just right, most of the business travelers who come and go to the county will rest here, take a little rest and recuperate their spirits before entering the city.
It's just that Qutang County has just been recovered by officers and soldiers, and there are very few business trips in the vicinity, and although the tea stall is located on a major traffic road, business is also a little deserted, and only three or five people sit on the side of the road to drink tea.
Seeing them stop, the proprietress immediately came over enthusiastically and said, "Two sons, do you want to drink tea?" Please sit down, the shop has good Maofeng tea, and there are also home-made sweet cakes, which are very delicious." ”
As she spoke, she neatly wiped the table and chair with a rag.
"Then a pot of Mao Feng and a plate of sweet cakes. Chang Jin saw that this person was nimble, and a little good feeling rose in his heart.
"Okay," the proprietress replied and greeted the store loudly.
Soon someone came over with a teapot, looking at the color of the tea, Chang Jin knew that the proprietress called "good Mao Feng" was very ordinary, thinking about it, if it was really a good Mao Feng, how could anyone in this small tea shop afford to drink.
However, he and Bai Susu are not fastidious people, and they will not pick and choose.
As soon as he picked up the teacup, he heard an idler at the adjacent table shouting: "Have you heard that the gang of thieves in Balishan has been exterminated by officers and soldiers?"
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately asked: "Xie Shishi, when did it happen, why haven't I heard about it?"
"Just two days ago, he was exterminated by General Zhu with his troops. A cousin of mine ate military rations, and I heard him say that at that time, General Zhu took the lead in killing the cottage, and the gang of thieves cried for their father and mother, and they didn't even resist for a stick of incense, and they were killed by General Zhu. ”
"General Zhu is doing well!!" an idle man shouted.
"Of course," Xie Shishi continued, "Since General Zhu led his troops to be stationed in Qutang County after the New Year, the vicinity has been much safer than before, and the bandits, big and small, have all fled to other places, and they don't dare to stay in Qutang County at all. ”
"General Zhu is indeed a good officer, and now those officers and soldiers under his command also give money to buy things, I heard that a few people ate in the restaurant and paid their bills, and were found in the barracks by the shopkeeper, General Zhu learned of this, and ordered people to hang up those officers and soldiers and beat them, and beat them with thirty whips in a row......
"If General Zhu can stay in Qutang County all the time, we will be able to live in many ways."
"By the way, Xie Shishi, can I hear your cousin say what General Zhu looks like, is he married?" someone asked.
"Of course I know this, General Zhu's name is Zhu Yuanhao, eight feet tall, eyes like copper bells, strong as iron towers, extremely powerful, and his hands can tear tigers and leopards......" He was so nonsense, obviously he hadn't seen each other at all, he just listened to people commenting on books.
......
Hearing someone describe Zhu Yuanhao so exaggeratedly, Chang Jin couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard it.
"Yunsheng, are you optimistic about this person?" Bai Susu listened to her husband talk about the dragon fight, and couldn't help but send a divine sense inquiry.
"Hmm" Chang Jin also communicated with his divine sense: "Zhu Yuanhao led the troops to be stationed in Qutang County for more than a month, and he has made the people under his rule return to their hearts and spread their prestige, and this alone is very human." ”
"This person does have some ability to lead the army to fight, but if you want to make a difference in the troubled times, you can't just rely on bravery, you must have the means to govern the territory and secure the people. As you said, Zhu Yuanhao is just a martial artist, I'm afraid he can't do it in terms of cultural governance. Bai Susu has not met Zhu Yuanhao himself, so his evaluation of him is naturally not high.
Her husband told her about his plan a few days ago, and Bai Susu was a little worried after listening to it, so there was a little more persuasion in his words.
The secular dragon, taking humanity as the overall situation, if she is not careful, even the gods may be counterattacked, and her soul will be scattered, and she does not want her husband to join it.
But knowing her husband's temperament, she can only persuade tactfully from the side.
"Yes, this is also Zhu Yuanhao's shortcoming. Chang Jin nodded slightly. Whether it is the earth in the previous life or this world, all the founding emperors must understand both culture and martial arts.
If you only know about conquest and don't know how to govern, it will not be possible to achieve great things in the end. Like Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan and others on the earth in the previous life, although they played a big territory and opened a new dynasty, they could not escape defeat in the end.
So far, Zhu Yuanhao has not shown talent in cultural governance. Chang Jin went out this time, not just to travel, but also to see if the other party was really worthy of his help.
As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly raised his head again and looked in the direction of the county seat.
I saw that at the end of the official road two miles away, several fast horses came rushing forward.
Because the man was tall, riding a red horse under his crotch, although he was wearing regular clothes, but a momentum arose spontaneously in his gestures. Behind him, several men in regular clothes followed closely on horseback.
Saying that Cao Cao Cao was there, Chang Jin glanced at it and said, "That person is Zhu Yuanhao......"
A few horses were speeding away, and in the blink of an eye they were already approaching.
However, he has not seen him for more than a month, and Zhu Yuanhao's luck has changed again. The green air above the head rises all over the sky, forming a big banner, hunting and rising, and it is better than the past three points.
Several people behind him have been seen by Chang Jin, three of them are old partners, and two of them have been worshiped in the Engong Temple by Zhu Yuanhao.
Sure enough, it is "those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black", and Zhu Yuanhao's own changes in luck have affected these entourages.
He clearly remembered that when he saw a few people, his luck was not much different from ordinary people. Looking at it now, it's very different. Most of these people are full of red qi on their heads, condensed but not dispersed. There are even two of them, who are already half cyan.
One person has ascended to heaven, if his expectations are not bad, when Zhu Yuanhao goes further, these people will rise to the top. If Zhu Yuanhao can really open a new dynasty, these companions will not die, and they can also become the founding heroes.
Similar examples abound on the earth, such as Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, when he was young, his family was weaving mats and selling shoes, and his life was very difficult. At that time, Jian Yong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had followed.
Then Liu Bei raised troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, and these people also did not give up. To Liu Bei's achievement of the emperor's business, Guan Yu was named the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, Zhang Fei was named the Marquis of Xixiang, and Jian Yongguan worshiped General Zhaode.
At this time, a soldier behind him saw the tea stall and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Zhu, there is a tea stall here, why don't we take a break, drink a few sips of tea and then hurry, the food in the morning is too salty, and now my throat is smoking." ”
"It's just you who have a lot to do," Zhu Yuanhao replied, grabbed the reins of the horse and dismounted, "Just rest for a while"
As he spoke, he glanced into the tea stall, because Chang Jin and Bai Susu had changed their appearances, and suddenly looked no different from ordinary people, but Zhu Yuanhao only turned his head to look at it when he got off the horse, and retracted his gaze.
Seeing a few people dismounting, the proprietress greeted her with some hesitation, with a hard smile on her face: "A few masters, but do you want to drink tea?"
often does the business of ushering in and sending to, and the proprietress naturally has a good eye. People who can ride horses now are either rich or expensive, and they can't afford to mess with them at all. What's more, the few people in front of him are fierce and fierce, and they are obviously not good at stubble. For fear of accidentally offending the other party, he overturned his tea stall.
A few idlers who were talking just now were also silent at the moment, honestly drinking tea with their heads down, and they didn't dare to take a second look. didn't know that the other party was the General Zhu in their mouths.
Zhu Yuanhao saw this situation in his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, boss, a few of us are not bad people, just drink a cup of tea and leave, we won't lose your tea money......"
"Yes, yes, please take a seat. The proprietress responded, and hurriedly wiped the tables and chairs.
Zhu Yuanhao was in the center, and the remaining sergeants sat down in turn.
When the proprietress came over with a pot of tea, the sergeant who asked Zhou Laosan to take it over, poured a cup for Zhu Yuanhao first, and then filled the cup in front of him and poured it violently.
After drinking all the tea in one go, he shouted: "Cool"
Then he said: "Brother Zhu, I don't understand, those scholars can't carry their shoulders and can't pick them, and they don't even dare to kill a chicken, what's the use of recruiting them?"
"Zhou Laosan, you are talking nonsense again. I have inquired, those scholars are all talented, and one of them was even a case in Xiajiang Mansion. Last year, Li Yingxiang rebelled, and they stayed in Fucheng until the officers and soldiers recovered Qutang County, and then returned together.
We are all rough people, and people in the army eat and chew horses every day, which costs a lot of money and food, and these need to be calculated. In addition, there are also documents submitted to Hou Ye...... If we can get their help, we can naturally free up our hands and train our troops well!!"
"It's true that I have to recruit a few scholars, otherwise it will give me a headache to settle accounts every day," said another sergeant next to him.
"Then you don't have to go in person, the eldest brother wants to value those scholars, and he just sends someone to find them, why bother to go all the way to the door to invite?"
"Come to the door in person, Fang shows our sincerity. Zhu Yuanhao explained, paused and ordered, "When you get to the place later, you must not be rude and surprise the other party." ”
"Don't worry, it won't hurt the good things of the big brother. Zhou Laosan agreed to come down.
Invite a few scholars who can settle accounts, of course, there is no need for Zhu Yuanhao to run in person. However, he had other plans in mind, and it was just inconvenient to explain it to his brothers for the time being.
In the past, Zhu Yuanhao was on duty in the Lianghou Mansion, but after he came out, he was just a battalion, and his subordinates were in charge of dozens of people, so his vision was naturally narrow.
When he killed Zhao Dahu, he was named a guard general by Liang Hou, and he was trusted by Liu Dushuai to be his son-in-law. Zhu Yuanhao's heart gradually became bigger.
He understood that Liang Hou should have great ambitions, as long as he followed the other party, there would be more opportunities for meritorious service in the future. If you can catch it, it's not a dream.
If you want to achieve your goals, you need to find someone to talk to. These brothers are brave in battle, but they have never read a book, they have no brains, and they can't come up with ideas when they encounter things.
Those scholars are known to be virtuous, if they can help them, it is better to encounter anything in the future than to be blind by yourself.
It was with this in mind that he decided to visit his home to show his sincerity.
Several people are reckless people, drinking tea is just to quench their thirst, the degree is fast, not long, two plates of sweet cakes, a large pot of tea will be fine.
Seeing that the time was not early, Zhu Yuanhao did not delay, and reached out to summon the proprietress to pay the bill.
Seeing a few people riding away, Chang Jin also took out a piece of broken silver and said, "Boss, settle the bill!"
