Chapter 32 Someone coming from Yecheng has been planned for a long time
Hearing that Yecheng was going to send someone over, Dong Zhao and Qu Yi came to Yuan Xi at the same time.
Yuan Xi first said something to Dong Zhao. Dong Zhao listened, nodded and said, "This is a simple matter. I will write to Dong Fang right away."
Yuan Xi saw Dong Zhao's worried look and knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Sir, don't worry. I'll ask Brother Qu to take twenty people to escort you to Hanoi to meet Zhang Yang."
Dong Zhao was startled, and then he looked ashamed, "Young Master has thought of all this. I'm really afraid that Yuan Zhoumu will settle accounts with me."
Yuan Xi smiled: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Gongren has done enough, I am very grateful."
Dong Zhao was deeply moved and sighed: "Young Master, I will never forget the kindness of knowing you."
"It's just that Gongren has been unknown for half his life. Why does the young master favor me alone?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "How can it be so unknown?"
"In the past, my husband quelled the Julu Rebellion. Within two days, he sent out three warnings. He was considered one of the best talents in the world."
"But what I admire the most is another thing."
Dong Zhao became interested: "Which one?"
Yuan Xi said: "In the past, when Emperor Ling was in power, Jia Cong was the governor of Jizhou and punished corrupt officials. After he took office, many people were afraid of being found out and left after hearing the news. In Jizhou, there were only a few people.
Mr. Ying Tao, the chief, and Mr. Liang Guohuang, the chief of Guanjin, went to see Jia Cong calmly. It can be seen that Mr. Jia Cong is honest in his work and has a clear conscience. I respect him with all my heart."
"Book of the Later Han: Biography of Jia Cong" - All those who passed by Zang looked at the wind to unify their seals and went away. However, Ying Tao Chang Ji Yin Dong Zhao, Guan Jin Chang Liang Guohuang became an official and waited for Cong, so the state boundaries disappeared.
Jia Cong was a famous upright and capable official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When he was the governor of Jiaozhi, he was famous for his light corvee and weak tax and selection of talents. After three years in office, he became the most stable state and county in the country and was highly respected by the people.
.
People in the alleys sang to him, saying: "Father Jia came late, so I rebelled first; now that the country is in peace, the officials dare not rebel."
When Dong Zhao heard this past event, he was so excited that his beard trembled and he said repeatedly: "Young master actually knows about this!"
This was the most proud thing in his life, so he was also appreciated by Jia Cong. Unfortunately, Jia Cong died of illness not long after.
It was only at this moment that Dong Zhao was convinced of Yuan Xi and felt like he had met a close friend.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, Liu Bei was appointed as Captain Anxi because of his meritorious service in quelling the Yellow Turban Army. Before Jia Cong arrived, he also left with his seal, which also led to a quite famous incident.
Whip the governor.
Different from the Zhang Fei who supervises the postal service circulated in later generations, this matter was actually done by Liu Bei himself.
"Dian Lue" - When the governor comes to the county, he should send him to prepare, and he will be aware of it. When he heard that the governor was at the transfer house, he wanted to see the governor, but the governor complained that he was ill and refused to see him, and he hated him... so he tied himself to the bed.
When he was about to go out into the boundary, he untied his ribbon and tied it around the governor's neck. He tied it to a tree and used more than a hundred whips and sticks to kill him. The governor begged for mercy and released him.
When Liu Bei served as An Xiwei, he raised more than a hundred private troops, and An Xiwei's salary was 200 shi. After conversion, he only had 360 shi per year (30 dendrobium per month, 360 shi per year), which was definitely not enough to support him.
So many mouths.
Yuan Xi understands Liu Bei very well, because he is doing the same thing as Liu Bei now.
In these troubled times, having a force of your own is much more useful than a reputation of being honest.
After Liu Bei had his own private army, he began to be promoted quickly. After he lost his position as an Xiwei, he was quickly promoted to the rank of Xia Mi Cheng due to his military exploits. Three years later, he was promoted to the Prime Minister of Pingyuan because of his defection to Gongsun Zan.
Compared with the 200 dan of An'an Wei, Pingyuan Xiang's salary is as high as 2,000 dan!
You must know that it took Jia Cong almost thirty years to go from an ordinary scholar to a high-ranking official with two thousand shi, while it only took Liu Bei less than three years to go from two hundred shi to two thousand shi.
The reason why Liu Bei was valued by Cao Cao and welcomed by Yuan Shao 200 miles away cannot be explained by his loyalty and honesty. He had quite extraordinary qualities.
In contrast, in such an environment of troubled times, Dong Zhao's integrity is very rare, so Dong Zhao has a sense of knowing and appreciating him.
Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao bowed to each other, and from then on they developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.
But I heard Qu Yi snort from the side, "It's enough for Mr. Dong to be escorted by soldiers, why do you need me to take action?"
Yuan Xi was surprised and said: "When someone comes from Yecheng, what will happen if Brother Qu's identity is exposed?"
Qu Yi snorted coldly: "Are you afraid that I will drag you down?"
"If you care about Zhao Yun, then you think I'm useless, right?"
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qu, you know that's not what I meant."
He was wondering why Qu Yi started to lose his temper at this time?
You are the person Yuan Shao must kill, but people from Yecheng still want to show up in a big way. What do you think?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Zhao quickly dragged Qu Yi out and turned back to Yuan Xi, saying: "I advise this fool."
Qu Yi was reluctantly dragged away by Dong Zhao. Wu Zhao walked in with tea at this time. Seeing this, he smiled and said: "What, which song is this?"
Yuan Xi couldn't tell Wu Zhaoming about Qu Yi's identity. He had a headache thinking about it. Although Qu Yi was both civil and military and helped him greatly in training, his prejudice was not revealed. How to arrange him was indeed a big problem.
He could only say: "I don't know who the people Yecheng sent to Beixin City are. To be on the safe side, I want them to go out and do some things first."
Wu Zhao didn't know about Qu Yi, but she knew Dong Zhao's identity. She nodded immediately. She and Yuan Xi had something to hide from each other, but neither party knew about it.
She said: "These days, I teach the dozens of selected women how to read and melodious. They are entering the country very quickly. It is estimated that they will be qualified in a while."
Yuan Xi saw the look of hesitation on Wu Zhao's face and knew that she was still somewhat resistant to this matter, so he immediately said: "This matter all depends on me. I have wronged you."
Wu Zhao bit his lips and said softly: "Young master did not force them, so why say this. They heard that they will be able to serve in the homes of the Yuan family and Jizhou nobles in the future. It is not too late for them to be happy."
These women also understand that this is an extremely rare opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny. If they enter a wealthy family and become concubines with good luck, they will have no worries about food and drink. If they can still give birth to children, they will reach the sky in one step.
In the final analysis, it is just a matter of everyone taking what they want and trying their best to survive in troubled times.
As the days passed, in the valley south of Beixin City, an army of thousands of people marched slowly, with three horses in front of them.
The person riding on the horse in the middle is a middle-aged man with an arrogant figure. The person riding on the left is a scribe in robes, and the person on the right is dressed as a general and has a majestic figure.
The man in the middle saw that the scribe was working hard and said, "Sir, if you are working hard, you can go to the back and sit in the carriage."
The scribe said: "No problem, thank you for your concern, sir."
"I'm just curious and want to see the place where Master Yuan Xi killed Liu Bao, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu."
The general next to him heard this and snorted coldly: "Master Yuan Xi killed the Chanyu's son, and the other party will definitely raise troops to retaliate. Gongsun Zan is eyeing him from the north, but it is really unwise to make a new enemy."
