Chapter 937: The Battle of the Princes

was able to enter the city so smoothly, even Liu Heng himself did not expect it.

At the root of it, Liu Heng keenly felt that Decameron City seemed to be in a period of re-expansion, and it urgently needed all kinds of available talents to support this great expansion. So even a person like Liu Heng, who boasted about his ability all by himself, didn't need to verify it at all, and could only be regarded as a person who "answered without hindrance", and he could be so easily admitted to the city, which shows how eager the Ten Days City is for usable talents.

"It stands to reason that the Decameron City has become a guard of its own, even if it is attached to the name of the army on the right, but it has a lot of autonomy and independent power, and it is almost impossible to take another step. Liu Heng frowned and thought while following the civil official, "So, what is the reason for expanding again now?"

If you want to get a chance to expand again on the original basis, it can only be said that Decameron City at this time must be in the midst of some great change.

"When you first enter the city, you may not know much about many things, so you need to remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

Leading the two of them to walk on the bustling streets, the civil official opened his mouth after deliberation, and asked Liu Heng and the other person to nod yes and show understanding. Then the civil official hesitated slightly, Liu Heng thought that he still wanted to say something, but who wanted the civil official to frown, and then kept silent.

It was obvious that there was something that was not easy to say, Liu Heng was too lazy to guess, and he would only confide in him when he found the right time, so he simply took the opportunity to look at this Ten Days City, which was already very unfamiliar to him.

Compared to when he was involved in the construction, the city has been significantly expanded, the streets are at least twice as wide as when they were newly built, and the shops on both sides are lined up, but the planning is more reasonable, even if there are many pedestrians. In fact, from the moment he saw tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, Liu Heng knew that the Ten Days City had already undergone great changes, and it was no longer the small city where the residents and sergeants were less than 5,000, and now that the streets were full of people, I am afraid that the residents would have exceeded tens of thousands.

Of course, not only the residents, Liu Heng could see groups of sergeants from time to time on the road, as well as patrols and servants, compared with the common big cities, there was still a little more unique style of the military town.

It is estimated that many of these changes came from the handwriting of Qu Cifang, the right lover and the magistrate of the Ten Days City, "He is indeed a capable person." ”

The magistrate is often called the county lord, and the people look at the existence of the emperor like the soil emperor, imagining how to pamper and treat the good, and the sound of dogs and horses, the court officials look at it but it is difficult to get into the eyes, just a hairy boy who has just entered the officialdom, in fact, this position is the most test of a person's ability to govern as an official.

If you want to be pampered, then you can decentralize power, covet pleasures all day long, and you can also fool the past. However, if you want to do things, you have to take into account the role of a people, the weaving of cattle and horses, the requirements of the superiors, the deduction or the order. If you do a good job, you can live and work in peace and contentment, if you don't do well, the people will not have a good livelihood, and you only need to look at the situation of the place under your rule, and you can roughly know what the ability of the county is to know here.

Liu Heng listened and watched all the way, and after feeling it, no matter what his mood was, he had to admit that Qu Cifang did a good job, or said it was very good.

In any case, Qu Cifang did a good job, which was a great thing for the entire Ten Days City, and it was much better than coming to a magistrate who had more than enough success and more failures. But on the other hand, it is conceivable how much pressure a county magistrate who is too strong has put on Liu Heng, who replaced Liu Heng as a general.

So the more he watched, the more Liu Heng couldn't help but worry about Liu Heng.

Walking on the street, because the civil officials who took the lead were wearing official uniforms, pedestrians on the road would avoid them, and there was not much obstacle for them, and they walked smoothly all the way. In less than half an hour, the civil official took the lead in turning a street corner, and the pedestrians on the road immediately sparsely went down, but they often saw cars and horses coming and going, and the mansions on both sides were obviously wider and more sophisticated than before, which was like a common place for rich and noble families to live.

When he arrived here, Liu Heng finally found some shadows in his impression, "This piece of land looks like the old city I built when I was in charge, and it doesn't seem to have changed much." ”

Liu Heng looked along the way, and many of the house numbers were hung, and there were many surnames in his impression, just looking at the regulations and names, it seemed that in the past three or four years, many people's official ranks have jumped.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Great General's Mansion, approaching an empty and uninhabited land, the civil official who led the way finally spoke again, "The Great General's Mansion has been in a lot of chaos in the past two years, don't you get involved, so as not to get into trouble in vain." ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Heng and the other person should be again.

Subsequently, the civil official paused and said: "As for the general, in recent years, for some reason, his heart has been somewhat capricious and elusive. If there is anything wrong with the general, don't alarm the general, I know if you report it quickly. ”

After speaking, he stared at Liu Heng and the others, obviously observing their reactions. The other person was stunned when he heard this, and then his nervousness quickly subsided, and he turned to show joy and a sensible look, "Little one understands!"

"Unabashedly, he wanted us to be a traitor, which is really straightforward. Liu Heng sighed secretly in his heart, but he also hugged his fists.

Their performance made the civil officials bow their heads, and they seemed to be very satisfied with their understanding, leaving a promise of "do it well, I will not treat you badly", and only after a few words of encouragement did they continue to lead the two forward.

The meaning of these words is directly to tell them to keep an eye on the wind and grass in the general's mansion, especially the general. Looking at the reaction of the other person, not only did he not hesitate, but he found a backer, and his joy was beyond words, which was enough to see some clues.

It seems that in the hearts of many people, the general can no longer be a reliable backer. Even a person who has not really entered the door can understand the truth, presumably in the general's mansion, there are countless people who are "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and I don't know how many people are really loyal to the general?

"It seems that Liu Heng's situation is more worrying than I imagined. ”

Fortunately, Liu Heng's status left to him is high enough, no matter how much he is elevated, even if he is enshrined like a statue, he will no longer be able to do anything, but he will not have any worries about his life, this is the most reassuring place for Liu Heng.

Following Liu Heng's familiar street, I saw a big mansion in the center, and there was only one "gold" word engraved on the door plaque, which was the general's mansion in everyone's mouth, where Liu Heng once lived.

Before the three of them could get closer, they saw a crowd of people in front of the gate of the Golden Mansion, and a voice came out.

"This matter is clearly a good thing for both sides, and the general still wants to consider it, and we will not urge, but please understand the difficulties of our waiting and give us an answer as soon as possible. ”

Someone said in a loud voice, full of neutrality: "The general and General He don't have to be sent far, stay and stay." ”

As they spoke, several people in this group saluted to the door of the house, laughed and strode towards the carriage under the door, and when they got into the car, they kept saluting, and the carriage slowly started, carrying them past Liu Heng and the three of them, and drove into the distance.

Liu Hengzheng retreated to the side of the road under the nervous order of the civil official, bowed his head in the direction of the carriage and the Jin Mansion, but his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the door of the mansion, and when he saw a familiar figure, his mood suddenly fluctuated violently.

It's Ho Bo!

He Bo still looks like an old man, wearing powerful armor and blades, not showing his old age, but more heroic and powerful. Beside him, the figure just turned around, and saw the back of this person alone, thinking that it should be Liu Heng's pretending to be "Jin Lai".

The two of them went to the door to see off the visitors, and they were about to go back to the house while talking, seeing this scene, the civil official's eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly whispered to the two: "You two are also lucky, come with me!"

After saying that, he didn't say more, and strode towards the door of the mansion first, Liu Heng and the other person seemed to think of something, and their hearts were awe-inspiring, but they also hurriedly followed.

"Shut the door slowly!"

When he arrived at the door, he saw that the door of the mansion was about to close, and the civil official hurriedly shouted and hurried to the door. This shout attracted everyone's attention and they all looked at him.

"Xiaguan Qi Jixin, bring two new colleagues to meet the general and General He!"

The civil official pulled Liu Heng and the other person tightly, stepped through the door in three steps and two steps, saluted respectfully in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"It turned out to be the Qi military quartermaster, didn't I tell you earlier, don't you have to be so formalistic in the mansion, get up quickly. Liu Heng heard a familiar voice, vaguely like Liu Heng in the past, but it sounded no longer young and immature, but more calm and bearing.

It can be seen that the experience of the past few years has still left traces on Liu Heng.

Qi Jixin got up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General Qiqi, two talents were found among the displaced people this time, and as soon as they were summed up, the best two were selected and sent to the mansion." ”

"What is this for?"

Obviously it sounded like good news, but Liu Heng seemed to be a little displeased, "I said a long time ago, now that the army and the government are nervous about employing people, and they need to give priority to those two sides, why do you still send people to me?"

"The general is wise, but there can't be a shortage of people to serve the general in this mansion, right?" Qi Jixin still smiled and said: "Besides, more people were sent to the army and the government, only two people were sent, and there were not many people, so the general should not brush off their kindness and accept it with a smile, right?"

Liu Heng seemed to want to say something, but was persuaded by the people around him in a low voice, and finally changed his words, and sighed: "It's all delivered, then accept it, you arrange for them to run errands, and remember to go over there to spread a word, just say that you don't need to send people over." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The subordinate must keep it in mind, so he will give the order. Qi Jixin agreed, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he asked: "I think these two people are all materials that can be made, or stay with the general to listen to the order, and let them learn well, and they can become pillars in the future, the general thinks it is good?"

"I don't have to be ...... by my side"

Liu Heng seemed to refuse, but someone around him whispered again, making him change his words again, "Okay, just follow me for the time being." ”

"The general is wise!"

Seeing that his intentions were all successfully achieved, Qi Jixin smiled, "Since the person has been delivered, the lower officials have to rush back, after all, there are still a lot of things over there......"

"Go, go, go. Liu Heng waved his sleeves, "The big things over there are important, you have to be careful, you don't have to rush back if you have nothing to do." ”

Qi Jixin said yes again and again, and left.

"Deacon Jiang, bring these two down first, change your clothes and come back. Finally, Liu Heng heard Uncle He's voice and lightly commanded a person. The person called "Deacon Jiang" had a square face and round eyes, lowered his eyebrows, and called Liu Heng and the other person and quietly left in the other direction.

Walking between the courtyard and the corridor, this Jiang Deacon spoke in a cold tone, and told the two of them about the matters that need to be paid attention to in serving the general. Another person named Zhang He, like Liu Heng, listened very carefully, but his eyes moved from time to time, full of interest, and Liu Heng listened very attentively, sometimes thoughtfully, which made Deacon Jiang pay attention to him several times in surprise.

After being registered, the two were assigned to become living rooms, put on new clothes, and Deacon Jiang took the two to the backyard, and the two brand-new living rooms were considered to be in office.

The so-called position of the living man, to put it bluntly, is a male attendant who specializes in serving the general, which is a unique subordinate title for those who have a military position. The reason is that there is a military position, and it is often necessary to go out to the army to fight, but the army is often not allowed to carry female dependents, so as not to make mistakes for women, and the military staff has many trivial chores that need to be handled by someone to help them contemplate the military, so the male attendant called the living man came into being.

However, this position is quite special, being able to always be by the master's side, and always learn a lot of skills. There is no shortage of living in history, and the deeds of the future achievement of the world's generals are just male attendants in the position of living lang, but they are much higher than male attendants, and the future is unpredictable, and they are the people around the generals, so they can often get the respect of many people.

For this position, Liu Heng is naturally calm, in his opinion, it is a good thing to be able to get to He Bo and Liu Heng so quickly, as for what way to use, he doesn't care much. Compared with Liu Heng, Zhang He was excited with apprehension, and this reaction seemed more normal.

Along the way, Deacon Jiang never heard his mouth, talking about all kinds of matters that needed their attention, and there was no sign of ending until the backyard study. However, the place had arrived, so he could only stop unsatisfied, and explained that the two of them would continue to look for him to listen to the teachings after finishing their errands, leaving a sentence of "waiting outside the door to listen to it", and then left.

Zhang He was still nervous, although no one was watching, he still straightened his chest and waist, showing a energetic appearance, while Liu Heng began to listen to the movements in the study after Deacon Jiang left.

"Don't forget your eldest brother's legacy, since he started to be independent, and has nothing to do with the Liu family, how can you do it yourself?"

This is Uncle He's voice, Liu Heng has rarely seen Uncle He so angry, but after hearing Uncle He's low words, he no longer feels strange.

"The eldest brother does have this ambition, but when the eldest brother was here, didn't he conspire with the Liu family to get everything he has now?" This is Liu Heng's voice, "Besides, I didn't violate the eldest brother's legacy, but the battle for the prince is coming, with the current situation in our Ten Days City, we must choose a side." Instead of choosing other princes to be suspicious of each other, it is better to cooperate with the Liu family, they only seek a name, we simply give them it, but it can make the Ten Days City have a great development and a great future, why not?"

Liu Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it, what did he hear?

He Bo and Liu Heng were arguing!
