Jiang Gan got out of the car in front of a small courtyard, looked up at the low eaves, and then at the narrow path overgrown with weeds behind him, and frowned.

"That's where you live?"

Huang Yi's face was red and his ears were red, and he didn't know how to answer. After he arrived in Chang'an, he has been living in embarrassment. Guo Jia allocated him 10,000 yuan every month, and he could have had no worries about food and clothing, but he was used to being lavish and had no habit of saving, so he couldn't wait for the end of the month almost every month. At the end of the second half of last year, grain prices began to rise, and the prices of all kinds of food and drink went up all the way.

"It's a little remote, but it's not so desolate. It's just that the situation has not been good recently, and many people have fled, which has become more and more dilapidated. ”

Jiang Gan nodded and walked inside. "I'll report to Guo Saijiu and give you some extra money. The dignified children of the Jiangxia Huang family are doing so badly, it's not good to spread it. ”

Huang Yi's eyes were red. "Thank you, Jun Jiang." He raised his sleeve to wipe his tears and spoke in a nasal voice. "Nothing else, the price of food is getting more and more scary. If the sacrificial wine can give me ten stone of grain every month, I will be grateful. ”

Jiang Gan couldn't help laughing, and then felt a little sad. Huang Yi is a typical example of not doing or dying. If he hadn't thought too much and opposed Sun Ce with Liu Xun, how could he have come to this point. Life is like this, sometimes one right step can lead to a straight rise. If you make the wrong move, you will never recover.

"How many people are in your family?"

"Uh......" Huang Yi smacked his lips. I only have one concubine here, but she has parents and two younger brothers. ”

"Six people, ten stones is not enough, right? Well, I'll call the shots, and I'll give you twenty stones a month. ”

"Thank you, Jun Jiang." Huang Yi was overjoyed, turned around and called out the concubine Cui Shi, who was preparing wine and food in the kitchen, and asked her to bow and thank Jiang Ganxing. Although it is a family of six, the old and weak women and children are the mainstay, and in fact, five or six stone grains per month are enough. He asked for ten stones, because he wanted to ask for more, and the rest could be taken out for money, and he was worried that Jiang Gan would not agree, but he didn't expect Jiang Gan to give him twenty stones directly, which was simply overjoyed.

Jiang Gan looked at Cui Shi carefully. Cui's seventeen or eighteen years old, quite a bit of a posture, but his demeanor is rude, he doesn't look like he was from a big family, and he is not Huang Yi's original concubine, she should have been newly accepted after arriving in Guanzhong. When Cui heard that Jiang Gan had promised Huang Yi twenty stone grain a month, he smiled with joy and kowtowed when he lay on the ground.

Jiang Gan reassured her and asked her to go out to receive the gifts. He brought some things for Huang Yi, and the attendant was moving outside. Cui Shi smiled with tears, lifted his apron, wiped his tears, and flew away.

Jiang Gan put away his smile. "Your news, the sacrificial wine has been received, and I reported it to the general as soon as possible. The general was satisfied. ”

"I am fortunate to be able to serve the general and make meritorious contributions."

"Those things in the Chang'an court, to put it mildly, are nothing more than that, you haven't been able to enter the office for so long, only inquire about the periphery, and the effect is limited. I hope you can find a way. ”

Huang Yi was silent. He also wants to become an official, not only to get more important news, but also to increase his income. He was born in Jiangxia Huang, and he is knowledgeable, he is a celebrity, and he can't do a lifetime of meticulous work. But after he arrived in Chang'an, the head of the family, Huang Wan, was lukewarm to him and refused to recommend him to become a leader.

"The sacrificial wine knows that you are in trouble, so he has planned two places for you to go. The first is to find a way to get close to the state army and serve Lu Bu; One is to leave Chang'an, go to Yizhou, and serve Cao Cao. You decide for yourself to see which one is more suitable, and after you decide, someone will arrange it for you to ensure that you go smoothly and will not arouse anyone's suspicion. ”

"Brother Jiang, I can't make a decision for a while, can you help me get an idea?"

"I suggest you go to Yizhou. Cao Cao will soon be able to take Yizhou, and those who followed Liu Yan before should choose to switch to Cao Cao, but they have had the experience of being dependent on Liu Yan, and it is difficult to gain Cao Cao's real trust. This is especially true of the Jiangxia people. You have a grudge against General Sun, and Cao Cao will not suspect you. You organize those people, and you are also a force. ”

Huang Yi thought for a while, but still shook his head. "I heard that Cao Cao has a Yingchuan strategist by his side, who rarely shows up, but he is sinister and cunning. After a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from him. ”

Jiang Gan didn't insist either. "Then you can find a way to get close to Lu Bu. The state army is in a difficult situation now, if you are willing to surrender, he should not refuse. But your gentleman's temper must be taken away. ”

Huang Yi nodded awkwardly. "So how do I get in?"

"You don't have to worry about this, someone will naturally contact you when the time comes." Jiang Gan stood up and dusted his sleeves. "That's it, I still have an appointment, so I won't stay with you any longer. Be careful with yourself, be cautious in what you say and do, and don't be too public. ”

"I understand, I understand." Huang Yi agreed repeatedly, got up and sent Jiang Gan out. Back in the courtyard, Cui Shi greeted him, dragged Huang Yi to the wing, pointed to a few large boxes, and said happily: "Husband, you see, it's all good things." General Sun is such a good person. ”

Huang Yi put away his smile. "Do you think he's good?"

"Of course, I've long heard that he is a good person and sympathetic to the people, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to share the favor. Husband, it sounds like this General Sun is not as ruthless as you say. ”

"That's because you haven't seen him ruthless." Huang Yi couldn't help but shudder. "If you have a chance in the future, you can ask those who he killed. Not to mention anything else, there are more than a dozen families in Jingzhou that were destroyed by him. Alas, Liu Xun's husband should have been doing a good job lately. I'll have to write a letter in two days, I helped him so much in the first place, and he should help me now. ”

Cui Shi glanced at Huang Yi and couldn't hide the joy between his eyebrows.

——

Jiang Gan left Huang Yi's house, quickly returned to the avenue, and went straight to Weiqiao. His main task today is not to see Huang Yi, but to meet Xun Yu. Zhong Yu made an appointment with him to meet in Weiqiao today, so that he would have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with Xun Yu.

Although Xun Yu was deposed from Shang Shuling, he won the trust of the Son of Heaven and was inextricably linked with Yuan Shao, and still had a non-negligible influence on the situation in Chang'an. When he passed through Nanyang, he once met with Zhang Hong, and told Zhang Hong about Sun Ce's plan, Zhang Hong basically accepted it all, and the only correction was to advise him to pay attention to Xun Yu and not be confused by Xun Yu's idleness for a while.

After arriving in Chang'an, he managed to meet Zhong Xuan, and immediately confirmed Zhang Hong's unique vision. Zhong Xuan accepted the gift, but admitted that he could only introduce it from it, although he himself was the squire of the Son of Heaven, but the only person who could really make the Son of Heaven obey his words was Xun Yu, and other people's opinions could only be used as a reference.

Jiang Gan sighed with emotion, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, but it may be the last glory before the sunset, the Xun family is the real rising sun, and it won't be long before the Xun family will be glorious. If there is any mistake in the Xun family, it may be that the most talented Xun Yu chose to be the enemy of Sun Ce, and Xun Yu chose Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce was immediately separated.

But who's to say that this is not a prudent choice? It's hard to turn back if you get too close.

Jiang Gan was in a trance, the wall of the car was gently knocked twice, Jiang Gan pulled the window, and the accompanying guard whispered: "Sir, Weiqiao has arrived." There were a few people standing there, and one of them seemed to be Zhong Xuan. ”
