"Since I left home at a young age, I didn't expect so many years to pass."

"So do you remember what your hometown looked like?"

"I don't need to remember, after all these years, nothing has changed at all in this place and memory. The dock fort is still so high, the grass on the ground is still so sparse, and the wind still smells of the familiar earth, nothing has changed. ”

"Aren't you the biggest change here? has changed from a hairy boy to a middle-aged general now. ”

"Yes, where has the time gone, I don't think I think it on weekdays, but now I understand the meaning of the lord's emotion."

Standing on the sparse meadow, at the feet is a group of ...... dressed in Hu Feng leather costumes The corpse, scattered blood has dyed the meadow under his feet a shocking black and brown, although there is no smell of gunsmoke around, but you can still see a few ownerless war horses dragging their injured bodies for a long time not far from here, as if they are afraid of the humans standing on this land, and they are also attached to this land, and for some reason they are attached to this place and are unwilling to leave.

Farther away, a settlement that seemed to be deadly.

It is a rather huge settlement, there are thousands of tents of all kinds large and small, and these tents are like the neighborhoods of the Central Plains, arranged in an orderly and neat manner under the planning of the owner of this place, and the roads connecting and dividing these tents are also like the big cities of the Central Plains, not only are they all leveled, but the main roads are also paved with some interesting stone slabs, and the tents on both sides of these stone roads are also the most luxurious groups in the whole area.

On the periphery of the tent area. It is an adobe wall less than a meter high. Although the adobe wall may seem low, it is an excellent obstacle and delay for wild beasts and horse thieves who come and go like the wind on the grasslands, and the gates in all four directions give it more order between entering and exiting.

Although it is not comparable to the tall cities of the Central Plains, this can undoubtedly be called the pearl of the outside of the Seychelles, even if it looks like a dead silence now, it can make people quite noisy and rich here in the past.

Whoever controls this place will have the ability to control the flow of money in this area, which should not be an exaggeration.

"Is this how prosperous this is when you're laughing?"

"It's not too much, but I don't think it's good. After all, it was the children of the Fu family who managed this place at that time. Our family is generally responsible for defense, not to mention the specific situation here when I was just a child, even the patriarch of our family is afraid that he doesn't know how many secrets are hidden here. After all, here, if there is no means to hide. The forces of all sides are like hungry wolves. It could kill you at any moment. ”

"So you left?"

"Yes. I want to avenge my parents, but the situation here is too complicated, and I simply can't afford to get enough capital for revenge. So I'm leaving. Jumping out of this small world, I may need to find the strength to support my revenge. ”

"I really can't see that you had such a good brain when you were young."

"Humph! Forget it, some of these things are figured out by myself, and more of them are sorted out from some bits and pieces that an elder in the clan often talks about. Don't underestimate the wisdom of those of us who only know how to fight and kill all day long, even for the sake of a small profit in the moment, we will do everything we can, because you can't imagine what that means. ”

"Poof, I'm also from Xiliang, don't talk to me as if I'm an ignorant prince in the Central Plains."

"yes, so it's comfortable to be with you, and we're always so compatible."

"Even if you praise me so much, you won't be able to run away from that meal at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Haha, how could you forget. But we've been here for so long, except for the first few people who didn't have long eyes, and the other side has been so quiet, like an empty city. You say we ......"

"Empty city? Do you think you believe this? The appearance and clothing that rushed out just now should be Jiankun people, those guys from the north of the Western Regions probably don't know much about the situation here, and they are not very smart when they rush out with a little provocation, as for the people of other tribes. I said, do you think there's a guy you look familiar with? ”

"So what do you think they're waiting for?"

"What are you waiting for? Maybe it's not waiting for anything, it's just a discussion about who to send to death. ”

"Yes, these guys like to do this when they face difficult enemies, and they ......"

"It will definitely be the Han people who will be thrown out."

As the words fell, a growing shadow appeared near the skyline. The scout, who had arrived one step earlier, had already arrived in front of the two men who were talking, bringing the latest news on their investigation.

And this news proves how true the previous statement is.

However, those who were hiding in the tents seemed to have forgotten the identity of the enemy who surrounded them this time.

"Is it worth it?"

"The lord once said in a casual conversation, 'Merchants are like weeds, it doesn't matter if they cut a stubble, as long as there is enough profit, they will stubbornly grow a new stubble from the ground', and the lord's words have always been very reasonable."

"Yes, the wisdom of the lord is sometimes unfathomable and incomprehensible. And we are not those robbers, we will be the rulers here, and the rules here must be made by us in the future, and those who do not obey ...... Just kill it. ”

"That's right, as a Hu person, you should have this awareness. After taking up so long, it's time for them to spit it out! ”

As the general's words with a cruel smile fell, the soldiers behind him shouted in unison as if they had received some kind of order.

The sound was so loud that with the help of the wind, even the tent settlement, which was some distance away, could be heard clearly. Before they could react, there was a tremor on the ground......

Ten days later.

"Hansheng, are you interested in taking a look, the latest news."

"If it's news of victory, put it there, and I'll see it when I'm done with this sword. If it's any trouble, read it to me now, I'm interested in what guy can make them suffer. ”

"That's a pity, I don't have a piece of news here that would interest you in the slightest."

"Well, at least it will allow me to eat an extra liter of rice in the morning! Drink! ”

With a broken drink, the stone lock that was originally standing in the center of the martial arts arena was split in two by the steel knife in Huang Zhong's hand, and the incision was not only smooth like a mirror. The steel knife showed no signs of damage.

"Looks like a general. Even a layman like me can see the improvement in martial arts. It's a pity that the general is now burdened with heavy responsibilities, and I'm afraid there are not many opportunities to fight on the battlefield. ”

With a bit of ridicule, the comer said something that made Huang Zhong smoke immediately.

Should it be said that it really deserves to be Huang Zhong, such an agitation will always have an outstanding effect on it.

"Even if you don't become a general, you can be a state pastor. The old man can also do it beautifully! ”

"Then the official documents piled up in the study are also asked to be processed by the state pastor. It's all very important work. ”

"Unfortunately. I just know that being a state pastor can have the opportunity to lead the troops into battle, and I don't have to be like when I was too guarded, either burying my head in the case all day long, or circling around the powerful in various places. But who would have thought that after becoming a state pastor, the official duties not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, I complain! Why is it that if I am also a state pastor, the lord can have time to have fun everywhere, but I can't...... That's right! How did I forget it, the lord can be so leisurely because he has Cheng Zhongde by his side to handle government affairs, and Mr. Tong to handle criminal cases for him. This one...... Gongda, if we don't have a discussion, those political affairs will be handed over to you to deal with, so that the old man can concentrate on military affairs and contribute more strength to the lord's plan. ”

Looking at Huang Zhong, who is over half a hundred years old, his face is full of resentment for a while, a frown for a while, and a snickering smile for a while, staging a Sichuan opera face-changing stunt that I don't know if this era has appeared.

However, what should be said is still to be made clear to Huang Zhong.

"I'm afraid that this idea of the state pastor will not be realized, and there are basically two reasons for this."

Facing Huang Zhong's interested eyes, Xun You raised two fingers without any pressure.

"One of them, naturally, is because of the Lishi Order, although it is under the jurisdiction of the State Pastor, it is not a subordinate official of the State Pastor. Yu Li Ke has no obligation to help the Governor deal with the Governor's Office. ”

After speaking, he returned his middle finger to the palm of his hand, and at the same time shook his index finger, signaling Huang Zhong not to interject.

"Second, the two of us don't talk darkly. In the past, Li Zhoumu brought you out of prison, and he also had the grace of rebuilding, but Li Zhoumu and his people, although they had the ambition to help the Han family, but they had no ambition to calm the chaos, so they have been stumbling so far. Li Zhou Mu knew that it was different from Youdao, and he did not want to become a disciple of Gongsun Ying, Fan Ju, and Sun Bin, so he sent Yu to this Li Zhou Mu's hometown, and privately thought that Li Zhoumu's move was to stay away from the Central Plains, so the two sides could be safe and sound. Now Hansheng wants to pay me with state affairs, but he doesn't know how he should deal with himself in front of Li Zhoumu in the future. ”

Well, so the so-called first point is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, Xun Yu's real meaning is actually: I don't think the same as your father-in-law Li Shushi, it is estimated that I can't pee in a pot, but I know that I am a talent, and I also know that Li Shushi knows that I am a talent, after all, Li Shushi is more or less famous in terms of people, although it is estimated that he will not be able to reach Xun Yu's strong level of "the world's scholars are all in my bag", but it is not low, so I went to other princes to fund the enemy, just like Shang Ying, Fan Ju and Sun Bin would never let it happen if they finally beat it upside down.

By the way, these three people were the first to seek a chance to get ahead in the Wei State, and the results were all quite miserable, and in the end, they all embarrassed the Wei State very much, which can be called a negative teaching material at the level of a model for the ages.

Of course, because I have a very good reputation, and Li Shushi is not a murderer like Dong Zhuo, it is unlikely that I will be eliminated for no reason and then let my notoriety spread among the scholars.

It was precisely because of this consideration that he sent me to Lishi County, a place where he started and was far away from the Central Plains. In this way, I don't have to worry about running away or having an affair with the princes of the Central Plains, and it can be regarded as a move to respect the virtuous.

So, now that you Huang Zhong want to hand over a lot of power to me, you have to consider Li Shushi's idea - Li Shushi spent a lot of effort but couldn't get Xun You's allegiance, and as a result, he hooked up with Huang Zhong not long after he was thrown into Xihe, for those suspicious monarchs, this is decisively unbearable, absolutely unbearable, slapping in the face!

Well, because it's important, be sure to say it twice.

"Poof~Ahahaha......!!!"

All right. Xun You didn't laugh first. On the contrary, Huang Zhong smiled so much that even his hearty laughter could be heard in the entire state pastor's mansion, probably.

Regarding Huang Zhong's reaction after hearing his words, Xun You felt a little strange. But he didn't come out. Instead, he looked at Huang Zhong with a calmer gaze. Wait for his laughter to subside.

It's just that I don't know if it's intentional, or if the old man is really full of confidence and talent, all in all, until Xun You's ears can't bear the torture of the laughter that doesn't pant. Huang Zhong still seemed to have some energy left.

Can we still be friends like this?

Xun You suddenly had a feeling of being tired and not in love, and sure enough, such a world was still ruined.

"Xun Gongda, Xun Gongda, I didn't expect you to fall into the big urn set up by the lord."

"What is the interpretation of this, I would like to hear it in detail."

"Gongda's first unattainable thing is just a word of shirk, and with Gongda's talent, it should not be limited to a hundred miles, this world is the space for you Xun Gongda to show his strength. And the second unattainable thing that Gongda said ......"

Saying that, Huang Zhong once again showed a similar expression as just now, but this time he may have given himself a preventive shot in advance, so he didn't laugh as much as he did just now, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"Gongda thought that the lord put Gongda in Lishi, a place far away from the Central Plains, in order to use this hundred miles to imprison Gongda's talent, but before leaving, the lord told me, 'If you want to get full merit in Shuozhou, you will be better than the power of Xun Gongda. Planning grain and grass to appease the people, Xun Gongda or slightly inferior to Cheng Zhongde. Guess the hearts of the people, so that the enemy has no power to recover, Xun Gongda or slightly lose Jia Wenhe. But even if there is no last resort, after reaching the power change, it is good and peaceful. 'I wonder what Gongda thinks?' ”

"Even if it can't be used by me, do you have to use other methods to force you to comply?"

"Who made you Xun Gongda still unwilling to be lonely after all. Okay, okay, all the places where the official documents are put are from your hands, and the classification of the official documents is also from your hands, you see, you have already helped yourself deal with the preliminary work, and the following things are not simple. ”

"Xun Gongda doesn't know anyone, and he is really to blame for falling into such a field. However, there are some things that cannot be decided, and the state pastor does not want to be rated as a corpse vegetarian. ”

"Haha, with Xun Gongda's help, I always feel that I can't finish my strength, so if there is any problem, let the horse come!"

"I didn't want to compete with you!"

Regarding some of Huang Zhong's "bad habits", Xun You said that it would be better to thank him for his little arms and legs.

So the laughter ended here, and the two of them quickly got up and adjusted to the state of work.

"According to the news, three days ago, General Huaxiong and his deputy general Liang Tian led 30,000 troops to conquer the area of Lian County in the north of Beidi County, and at the same time 'sorted out' the grassland tribes north of the Yellow River nearby. Two days ago, General Guan Hai and his lieutenants Liao Chun and Wei An had entered Fuping City, the former administrative office of Beidi County, and began to set up a list to reassure the people and repair the city defenses. ”

"Where is Zhang Yan now? How did Chang'an Li Guo react to our actions, what was the reaction of Dong Zhuo's other remnants, and what was the attitude of those large and small forces scattered in Guanzhong? ”

"Zhang Taishou's words, now it should be in the southern part of Shangjun and the eastern part of Beidi I don't know somewhere, after all, the south is Li Wei's department, as well as the main forces of Fan Chou and Yang Ding's department and those small warlords, although the soldiers and horses of Shangjun have taken a little advantage in the tentative attack, but I am afraid that it is limited to this, at least those Xiliang soldiers are not opponents that the county soldiers can shake head-on."

"Where is the main force of the Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Yan's command?"

"It seems that a while ago, Li Zhoumu was transferred a lot, and now where those troops are is still a mystery, maybe you have a way to know something from Li Zhoumu, but you are really powerless. As for the rest of the part...... General Guan Hai was able to enter Fuping so easily and force the Hu people away, and those troops made a lot of contributions. ”

"It's okay for the lord to secretly transfer the troops, why did Guan Hai and Zhang Yan carry out the handover of troops, why did I not even know about it! Or did I miss some official document?! ”

"Zhang Yan...... The state pastor has been in Shuozhou for a while, so he should know about that guy's recklessness. Before Lu Gongguang showed kindness and righteousness, he was indoctrinated, and he used the soldiers of the annexed states as the backup, so that Zhang Yan and other party members were reined. Now that Duke Lu has passed away, the state pastor has not been in office for a long time, and he does not know the majesty of the state pastor, so it is inevitable to act arbitrarily, and the old state has emerged. ”

"He has made great contributions to the northern frontier, and he still knows the majesty of the country, so I can't add it to it with lynching."

Regarding Xun You's behavior of taking the opportunity to "take eye medicine", Huang Zhong frowned and thought about it for a while, but decided to give the ball to Li Shushi, although he was from the same background as Xun You, so he understood the other party's little thoughts, but because this matter involved Guan Hai, a veteran like Li Shushi, and it was also at the critical stage of this big plan, especially the other party and Zhang Yan were both from the yellow scarf, once he made any punishment to Zhang Yan, it would inevitably make the other party have a feeling of "things hurt his kind", and then add a lot of trouble out of thin air.

But handing it over to Li Shushi is different, not only because Li Shushi has the absolute right to judge this kind of thing, but more importantly, Huang Zhong knows very well that Li Shushi actually has a lot of ideas about Zhang Yan, a somewhat unruly guy who looks like Xiàn - from the initial instigation of the rebellion of the old Yellow Turban Army under Li Shushi, to the disobedience to the south when Li Shushi took over Shuozhou, until now there is a close separation between him and Bingzhou, I believe that with such a good excuse, whether it is Cheng Yu or Jia Xu, he will make good use of it.

And Xun You, who heard Huang Zhong's answer, immediately understood his thoughts as a superior, and at the same time secretly vigilant, this middle-aged uncle who was entrusted by Li Shushi to Hanoi to guard the important land, and then entrusted Shuozhou to him, is obviously not as muscular as it seems, and those who ignore his wisdom are afraid that they will definitely suffer a big loss.

However, for such a discovery, Xun You showed a pleasant smile.

"It doesn't seem like a bad result to join forces with such a character."
