Chapter 94: Chasing Kong Ming under the Moon
"Ka! Da!"
The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and a figure rushed out of the city gate under the moonlight.
This figure is nothing but Wang Yan.
Until now, Wang Yan has always been surrounded by culture and military affairs. The army is hosted by Huang Zhong, so Wang Yan doesn’t have to worry about it. But there is no one around Wang Yan. As the chief clerk, Yang He was promoted by a soldier, and his congenital conditions are insufficient. There is no one around Wang Yan, so Yang He drove the duck to the shelves, studied little by little, and began to become familiar with government affairs.
Wang Yan is currently only in charge of a county, and Yang He can barely take on government affairs. Once Wang Yan is promoted and reaches the level of county magistrate, it will probably be difficult for Yang He to be competent again. Furthermore, Wang Yan needs a counselor to provide advice and preside over government affairs for him.
The appearance of Hu Zhao is enough to solve Wang Yan's problem.
In history, Hu Zhao was devoted to mountains and rivers. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao repeatedly conquered each other, but Hu Zhao remained safe and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Wang Yan was worried that Hu Zhao would leave, so he ended the war and settled Hu Zhao first and left a good impression on Hu Zhao.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhao left Yangdu County without saying a word.
If the soldiers guarding the city had not come back to report, Wang Yan would have missed this great wise man. Wang Yan was anxious and ran away, wishing he could chase Hu Zhao immediately and keep Hu Zhao.
"drive!"
Wang Yan shouted and waved his horse whip to urge the war horses to rush on the road.
Under the moonlight, Wang Yan chased after him and ran for half an hour without even seeing a figure.
Wang Yan's heart gradually sank. He finally met a strategist, but because of his negligence, Hu Zhao left quietly, and Wang Yan was unwilling to accept it.
Even after chasing for most of the hour and leaving Yangdu County, Wang Yan did not give up.
When the hour of Mao entered, the rooster began to crow.
The villages passing by, the sound of roosters came from time to time. A little bit of fire light came up, and a wisp of smoke drifted away on the roof. The night faded away and the sky began to be bright.
Wang Yan stopped, looked at the official road ahead, hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should continue chasing. He looked at the vast earth and thought to himself: "Did Hu Zhao find a place to stay after leaving the city? Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to find someone."
However, Wang Yan could not ask about the vast villages one by one.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yan made a decision and murmured: "Continue chasing, if you haven't caught up after dawn, you will turn back to the county town."
After slamming the horse's back, Wang Yan rode his horse and continued on his way.
At the third hour of Mao, a trace of fish belly appeared in the east sky, and the sky began to brighten. At this time, the sky turned bright and you could already see the scene ahead in a blur. Wang Yan looked around, his pupils widened, and his face looked excited.
Figure!
A figure appeared in front of him!
It must be Hu Zhao!
Wang Yan was excited, and he clamped his legs and rushed to the road as fast as possible. The horse under his crotch seemed to feel the joy of his master's mood, shook off his four hooves, and chased him.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed.
Hu Zhao rode forward on his horse, and when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, he looked back. Seeing the visitor, Hu Zhao looked a little surprised and stopped. When Wang Yan caught up, Hu Zhao bowed and said, "Why are you chasing Wang County Magistrate all the way?"
Wang Yan smiled on his face and said, "Mr. Kong Ming will see you again when he leaves, so he will naturally come and give it away."
Hu Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang has seen me, so he doesn't have to send me off again, so he will say goodbye."
Turning his head, Hu Zhao rode his horse and continued to walk forward.
"Let's wait!"
Seeing that Hu Zhao was about to leave, Wang Yan spoke to stop him.
Hu Zhao stopped and asked, "What else do you have to say in County Magistrate Wang?"
Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Please help me with your help." The simple words were not bold, but just wanted Hu Zhao to stay.
Hu Zhao sighed lightly and said, "The county magistrate chased after him overnight, and the people are grateful. But everyone has their own aspirations. Please forgive me."
When Wang Yan heard this, he frowned, and in a hurry, he did not leave Hu Zhao's way.
In fact, this matter is indeed difficult. Historically, when Yuan Shao was in charge of Jizhou, he occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and looked at the world. But even so, Hu Zhao still refused Yuan Shao's conscript; after Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao, he unified the north, had power in the court and the country, and ordered the conquest of Hu Zhao, but Hu Zhao refused again.
From this we can see that Hu Zhao is definitely not a person who seeks fame and fortune.
It is very difficult to persuade him to stay.
Hu Zhao also had a good impression of Wang Yan and was unwilling to break the relationship between the two parties, saying, "The people who are magistrate Wang have learned the kindness of the people. But I am unrestrained and upright in my behavior, and are not suitable for the officialdom. I have already decided to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and express my feelings for the mountains and rivers. I have been chasing the people all night, and the people who are extremely sorry."
Wang Yan's mind moved, and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, "Mr. I decided to leave. I can't stop him. I understand Mr.'s ambition."
Hu Zhao smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Wang Yan chased after him overnight, and was sincere and gave him enough face. He was embarrassed to refuse Wang Yan, and Wang Yan gave up on his own initiative, but it would be best.
Wang Yan changed his mind and continued, "However, I still hope that Mr. I can help me."
Hu Zhao's relaxed cheeks tensed instantly again.
Not giving up yet!
Especially before and after, it seems contradictory.
Hu Zhao was confused and regretted not being involved in the war in Yangdu County. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The county magistrate said he would not stop him from leaving, but now he has spoken to let the grass people stay. What does the county magistrate mean?"
A hint of anger spread.
Wang Yan was not anxious or impatient and said, "Sir, thank you, this is not a contradiction. The reason I must keep you is because this battle with Guan Hai, Yangdu County suffered numerous casualties and was extremely disordered in government affairs, and needed someone with outstanding abilities to sort it out."
"Especially when I was in Kaiyang County, I captured 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, and all of them were going to come back. Last night, I captured more than a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. In total, there were 5,000 prisoners. I wanted to reorganize the Yellow Turban soldiers and had no time to deal with government affairs."
"So, I hope the sir can help me sort out government affairs."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I will not stop my husband from returning to the mountains and forests. I just ask him to help me for three months. After three months, I will never stop my husband from leaving Yangdu County."
Unable to think of a solution for the time being, Wang Yan delayed the time.
Three months is enough to think of many ways.
Hu Zhao looked at Wang Yan's serious expression, and thought that the person in front of him was only sixteen years old, it was indeed not easy to support the huge Yangdu County. He softened his heart and said, "In three months, I must leave, you must not stop him."
Wang Yan was happy and said quickly: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. In three months, the gentleman will leave and will never stop him."
"good!"
Hu Zhao agreed and turned his horse back to the city.
Wang Yan was in a good mood and rushed back with Hu Zhao. When he returned to the county government office, Wang Yan appointed Hu Zhao as Gongcao and presided over the government affairs of Yangdu County. Yang He assisted Hu Zhao in handling it. Yang He was extremely impressed by Hu Zhao. He willingly started and worked hard to learn from Hu Zhao.
Three days passed, and the impact of the Yellow Turban Thiefs attacking the city was completely eliminated.
Wang Yan reorganized the army and also felt relieved.
On this day, Wang Yan finished his military affairs and returned to the county government to go to the yard where Yang Yafei lived. When he arrived at the gate of the yard, he saw the maid walking out with a grievance.
"What's going on?" Wang Yan asked.
The maid frowned and said aggrievedly: "Miss Concubine was injured in many places, including the lower abdomen, back, palms, etc. I applied medicine to her, but the lady refused to take off her clothes. It has been three days since she had not applied any medicine at all, and her injuries have recovered very slowly."
"Nothing!"
Wang Yan shouted angrily, his face cold.
The maid was so scared that she shivered and knelt directly on the ground, looking terrified and terrified.
Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Get up, I didn't say anything to you, don't be afraid. Give me the medicine, I'll apply medicine to her." The maid stood up carefully, handed the medicine bottle to Wang Yan, and hurriedly left.
