Cao Ren and Cao Hong seemed to be possessed by demons. When they returned, they drilled their soldiers and screamed.
Xia Houlan and Li Dian were arranged by Lu Yan to recruit new soldiers.
Lu Yan only has forty white horse followers around him now, and he plans to expand his bodyguard to a hundred first.
As for Li Dian,
He followed Lu Yan's suggestion and took Yu Jin with him to play with him when he went to recruit new soldiers.
I have to say that Li Mancheng does have the air of an elder.
After Lu Yan wrote the list,
After each name, they roughly added their location and some precautions.
When Cao Ren and Cao Hong got Lu Yan's list, they didn't ask where the list came from. They just arranged for reliable people to rush to various places in the Han Dynasty.
"The net has been cast, it just depends on when the fish will take the bait." Lu Yan finally let go of the anxiety in his heart.
At this moment, news of the appointment came from Puyang,
"My lord has ordered me to appoint Ren Jun as the captain of the field camp, and he will obey orders under Lu Zhonglang!"
"Here!" Ren Jun promised loudly,
Although Tuntian Colonel is not much higher than his previous position,
But it is a position where you can achieve results quickly.
Lu Yan raised his hands and said to Ren Jun: "Boda, I will hand over all the farming matters to you later, and I will leave this arduous task to you in the future!"
The effects of Chenliu County's farming are obvious to all. It is a place where political achievements can be made.
Ren Jun excitedly raised his hands and bowed to Lu Yan: "Thank you very much, Lu Zhonglang, for your trust and cultivation. Jun will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
"Very good. Behave well. Mr. Cao will definitely be impressed by you. Go ahead and go to the fields to understand the situation of the people."
"Here!"
After Ren Jun left with great enthusiasm,
Mao Jie looked at Ren Jun's brisk steps and back, but couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Another coolie was abducted by this guy Changsheng, and he committed evil..."
"Hey! Xiaoxian! I don't like hearing what you say. What is kidnapping?"
"Is not it?"
"..." Forget it, I don't have the same experience as this old guy.
Lu Yan snorted and walked out of the government office gate alone.
Coming to the bustling street,
He couldn't help but spread his hands and stretched hard. Lu Yan said to himself happily: "Ah! I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time!"
at this time,
Lu Yan suddenly heard a young man's voice, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
Then Lu Yan saw a young man wearing a blue scholar's shirt standing to his left, looking at him curiously.
"Um, brother, are you talking to me?" Lu Yan asked.
The young man looked around and asked, "Is there anyone else here?"
Lu Yan smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, if you have anything to do, just ask. (Although I may not answer...)"
"I'm going south from Jizhou all the way,
We passed through Dongwuyang in Dongjun, then crossed the Yellow River to see Puyang, and finally came to Chenliujun.
But after arriving at Chenliu, I had some doubts in my heart."
Lu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to have a vague premonition in his heart.
Then he put away his frivolous temperament and
He began to look carefully at the blue-shirted scribe in front of him.
“Going all the way south from Jizhou,
I made a special trip to Dongjun and finally came to Chenliu?
Could it be...that it's him???"
Seeing Lu Yan suddenly become serious, a flash of appreciation flashed in the blue-shirted scholar's eyes, "Did you guess it so quickly?"
The two of them had obviously guessed the other's identity, but neither of them gave their name.
After chatting for a few words, Lu Yan felt that standing like this was not a problem, so he asked: "There is a nice tavern out front, how about we drink and talk?"
Lu Yan's proposal was right to the Qingshan scribe's taste, and he laughed and said:
"That's great! I've traveled thousands of miles and haven't had a drink on the road for a long time!"
Lu Yan didn't believe it, so he asked: "How long?"
Hearing this, the scholar in green shirt immediately raised five plus two fingers with both hands, and replied with a very painful expression: "Seven days!"
"Emmm...it's been quite a long time..." Lu Yan's conscience ached a little, but for Guo Jia, seven days without drinking was like seven autumns!
When it comes to wine, the relationship between Lu Yan and Guo Jia instantly became closer.
After all, the sentence in the letter, "Mr. Cao has wine," was Lu Yan's promise to Guo Jia.
Wine does contain wine ingredients,
But it also contains other things. It depends on whether you, Guo Jia, have the ability to drink these "wines".
"Boy, it's the same old rules!"
Before Lu Yan could even finish his voice, he had already spotted his waiter, who had already cleverly brought up two jars of rice wine.
"Come on! You two, please use it slowly!"
Guo Jia didn't mean to be polite at all. He picked up one of the jars and
Pour yourself a bowl, then raise the wine bowl and say to Lu Yan: "Come on, do it first as a courtesy!"
"Dry!"
Lu Yan didn't say anything else and just had three bowls with Guo Jialian.
"It's so comfortable! Ge'er~" Guo Jia drank comfortably, but Lu Yan found that this guy's face was a little unnaturally flushed.
"Love hiccups? You have a bad spleen and stomach..." Lu Yan thought to himself: "Yeah, I almost forgot that this master is also a master who is extremely intelligent and will be hurt..."
Moreover, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are different,
This guy is a promiscuous man, good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
Originally, his physical condition was better than that of Xi Zhicai, but in the end, he was severely damaged by playing, and finally received a box lunch during the Northern Expedition to Karasuma due to acclimatization.
"Although I know you already know who I am, I should still introduce myself."
After Lu Yan served himself and Guo Jiaman a bowl of wine, he picked up the wine glass and introduced himself: "I am Lu Yan, courtesy name Changsheng. I am a general in the field under Cao Gong."
"Although I also know that you already know who I am, I still have to respond to you, don't I?" Guo Jia picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then replied: "My name is Guo Jia, whose name is Fengxiao, um...
.That’s it for now.”
Lu Yan continued to pour wine for Guo Jia, and then asked: "What is the doubt that Fengxiao mentioned before?"
Speaking of business, Guo Jia temporarily put down the wine bowl this time.
"Jia doesn't understand.
Why did Duke Cao move the population into Chenliu County in the vast area of deserted land in Dongjun?
If I knew about Xun Wen, wouldn’t he still be able to gain the complete trust of Duke Cao with his talent in governing the country?”
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment. Lu Yan had never thought about this problem.
"yes!
If the population of Dongjun was initially moved to Chenliu, it was to reduce the burden on Puyang during the war.
So after the Yellow Turbans were defeated, why didn't the Yellow Turbans' population be used to replenish Dongjun, but instead all of them moved to Chenliu?
With Xun Wenruo’s ability, the land of one county is not enough for him... What did Duke Cao think?"
Lu Yan suddenly felt that he had suffered a huge loss after being an old scalper for so long!
Guo Jia also looked confused when he saw Lu Yan,
He immediately remembered Xi Zhicai's evaluation of Lu Yan in his letter, "He has a unique talent but doesn't know it..."
Seeing that Lu Yan didn't seem to understand clearly, Guo Jia took the initiative to answer for him: "Actually, Jia has a guess."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Then in Mr. Cao's heart, you, Lu Changsheng, are better than Xun Wenruo!"
Lu Yan didn't know that Boss Cao had been secretly looking at his diary, and he didn't know that he was regarded as a "fairy" by Boss Cao...
After hearing Guo Jia's conjecture, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said:
"Fengxiao is joking...I, Lu, think that I am unrivaled in the world when it comes to checking in.
But if you say your talent exceeds that of Xun Yu, then you have no self-awareness."
Guo Jia didn't understand Moyu Check-in, but he knew it was Lu Yan's self-deprecation, "Maybe you really surpass Wen Ruo in some aspects?"
Lu Yan calmed down, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he finally found a reason that was not a reason.
"Probably, I can make the people under Cao Gong's rule well fed and clothed..."
Hearing this, Guo Jia grinned, raised the wine bowl again and said, "Isn't this enough?"
