Chapter 176 A trip to Zhuojun, how can there be a free lunch in the world
It was now October, which was a good time for the people to harvest crops. Zhu Han did not dare to neglect, fearing that the Xianbei people would come back, so he asked Zhao Wen for directions and documents, and then led Dian Wei and a dozen soldiers towards the
Zhuojun rushed there.
As for Zhang Liao, Guan Hai, Xi Zhicai and others, Zhu Han left them all in Gaoliu. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent Xiaoxiao from causing trouble. On the other hand, Zhang's men were probably arriving soon, but he didn't know which way they were taking.
Route, if Xi Zhicai had followed them and missed them, it would have taken another month to set off for Luoyang.
According to Zhu Han's plan, he wanted Xi Zhicai and the others to rush to Luoyang before the end of the year, so that they could claim credit from the emperor Liu Hong and take advantage of the festival to sell his Drunk Immortal Brew. If they could use this to establish a connection with Liu Hong,
If so, that would be great for Zhu Han.
So before leaving, Zhu Han repeatedly told Xi Zhicai that after arriving in Luoyang, he must put down his airs and try his best to get in touch with Zhang Rang and the others. If Zhang Rang is willing to come forward, then half of Zhu Han's problems will be solved.
Zhu Han had prepared thousands of gold for this purpose, but he didn't believe he couldn't knock on the old picker's door.
And after listening to Zhao Wen's words, Zhu Han suddenly realized that there were still a few big bosses in Zhuo County, and those few were big bosses with long-lasting names. He had forgotten about this when he came, and now he wants to
After getting up, one of his thoughts had already been on Zhuoxian County.
This time, Zhu Han did not take the road from Gujun to Juyongguan and then to Jixian, but took the road from Wuruanguan in the Taihang Mountains.
Speaking of Zhuojun, even in modern times, after thousands of years, the story of the Three Kingdoms is widely circulated. There are outstanding people here, comparable to those in Yingchuan, such as Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty Liu Bei, Marquis Huan of the Han Dynasty Zhang Fei, etc.
Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and Jia Dao, the bitter poet, all came from this place; here we have to talk about the Lu family represented by the famous official Lu Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking out at Zhuo County, celebrities have emerged in large numbers. For thousands of years, "both civil and military,
"Poetry and rituals passed down from generation to generation" has become another enduring family culture in mainland China besides the Kong family.
Compared to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and the others, Zhu Han admired Lu Zhi even more, simply because Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and the others were only brilliant for one generation, while Lu Zhi's family could be said to be enduring.
If you think about the Three Kingdoms period after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, followed by the Jin Dynasty, the Five Husties, and so on, the fact that the Lu family can still stand still shows their ability.
If he is lucky enough to meet Lu Zhi, Zhu Han will definitely go up and ask him personally, how do you teach your children?
Don't talk gossip, Zhu Han and his party were chatting and laughing, and soon arrived at Zhuo County, the seat of Zhuo County.
The name of the governor of Zhuo County was Lu Qian, whose surname was Zi Ke. He was from Rencheng. I heard that this man was brave and resourceful. He was an old subordinate brought by Liu Yu, the former governor of Youzhou, from Xuzhou.
As soon as he entered Zhuo County, Zhu Han was attracted by the folk customs here. How should I put it? The people here give people a sense of hard work. Even the old man sitting on the street basking in the sun never forgets to do something within his ability.
, such as looking at a small stall and taking the children with you.
Everyone has a yearning for life full of expectations. Unlike the people in Daijun, who are confused and numb.
With the road citation document issued by Zhao Wen, Zhu Han quickly met Jiang Jin, the magistrate of Zhuo County.
"Marquis Zhu Jun can lead an army at a young age. In addition, he has defeated the Xianbei people outside Yanmen Pass this time. His future is bright! This county has also heard that Marquis Zhu Jun has a rich family property in Jingxian County. With this contribution, you must be close to being promoted.
Far away! This county would like to wish Zhu Junhou a high promotion in advance."
This Jiang Jin is tall and thick, giving people the impression of a rough guy in the public. However, he is a disciple of the Lu family, a prominent family in Zhuo County. The first words he said when they first met were enough to reveal his moral character.
"I have long heard that County Magistrate Jiang is a disciple of the Lu family. When I see him today, he really deserves his reputation!"
Jiang Jin exposed Zhu Han's background as soon as he came, which made Zhu Han unsure of his pulse for a while. If you say that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for benefits, it goes against the Lu family's style, and the tone of his voice was unreasonable.
For example, Jiang Jin would open the show like this, which gave Zhu Han the feeling that he was trying to bring the two of them closer.
After all, these two guys had just met, and they talked about their property as soon as they started talking, which made Zhu Han have to deal with it carefully.
"Haha, this county has already read Governor Zhao's documents. I wonder if Zhu Junhou plans to recruit troops only in our Zhuo County? Or recruit in several counties at the same time?"
Jiang Jin smiled sarcastically, and after he read the contents of the document handed over by Zhu Han, he asked with a smile: "Marquis Zhu Jun demonstrated the majesty of our Han Dynasty in this battle. This county will definitely support you in recruiting troops in Zhuoxian, and this county will also
Mobilize the people of Zhuo County to respond actively! According to this county, we can recruit a thousand people in a few days!"
"Then thank you so much, Magistrate Jiang, for your generous help! I am very grateful!"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, Jiang Jin's brain was changing really fast, he was talking about that, and now he was talking about this.
"Wherever, wherever, these are what this county should do. If you are fending off enemies from outside, we will naturally give you our full support!"
Jiang Jin chuckled and replied with a smile, then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "In the past few days, there have been wars in the border areas of Youzhou. With Zhu Junhou and you on your side, this county has already supported four or five groups of soldiers and horses, just like yesterday."
Gongsun Zan also sent people to ask for soldiers and horses. This soldier is easy to talk to. As for the war horses, this county is powerless. I heard that Zhu Junhou defeated Xianbei outside Yanmen Pass and captured many grassland war horses? Is this possible? "
'coming!'
Zhu Han's smile gradually stiffened, and he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Anyway, he was going to sell some of those war horses, and it didn't matter who he sold them to. As long as Gongsun Zan could afford the money, there was no problem in selling some to him.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Han replied directly: "That's natural. General Gongsun is so powerful in the grassland. I have heard about it for a long time. Such a person is really a role model for our generation. I wonder how many war horses County Magistrate Jiang wants to buy?"
Zhu Han's words really choked Jiang Jin. He originally thought that Zhu Han would sell him a favor and give him some war horses. Now it seems that Zhu Han is also a master who only recognizes people but not recognizes them. If he wants to get help from him
If you want to get a war horse in your hand, you have to spend some real money.
"It just so happens that General Gongsun's younger brother Gongsun Yue is in Zhuo County at the moment. How about we find a time in this county for Gongsun Yue and Zhu Junhou to meet and sit down and discuss it?"
No matter what, Jiang Jin finally found the owner of the goods for Gongsun Zan. Whether it will happen in the end depends on how they negotiate. After finally throwing out this hot potato, Jiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Gongsun Zan was a disciple of Lu Zhi and the son-in-law of the former prefect of Zhuo County. He also served as the county magistrate of Zhuo County. Jiang Jin was also a disciple of the Lu family, so he naturally took over the position of magistrate of Zhuo County from Gongsun Zan.
, both emotionally and rationally, in both public and private matters, he had to help Gongsun Zan.
Moreover, this year's Xianbei people were like gunpowder. Although they did not go south in a large scale, they were more powerful than in previous years. In just a few months, Gongsun Zan's 3,000 Youzhou cavalry lost hundreds of people.
Gongsun Zan grinned with distress, so he asked his younger brother Gongsun Yue to go to Zhuo County to find Jiang Jin to recruit troops.
"Yes, but this deal cannot be negotiated in one go. Please ask County Magistrate Jiang to arrange it as soon as possible. Don't let me recruit enough soldiers and leave Zhuoxian, and I will be helpless!"
After getting what he wanted, Zhu Han quickly stood up and said goodbye, saying: "I've been traveling for a few days and I'm a little tired. If you have nothing to explain to me, Magistrate Jiang, then I'll take my leave first and go down to rest!"
"Okay, then, Marquis Zhu Jun, go and rest for now. The county will hold a banquet for you in the evening to welcome you, Marquis Zhu Jun!"
When they met for the first time, the two parties reached preliminary opinions on friendly negotiation. When parting, they naturally greeted each other with smiles.
Zhu Han was very tired from traveling every day. As soon as he came out of the Yamen, he found an inn to rest.
In the evening, Zhu Han came to the county government for a banquet at the invitation of Jiang Jinzhi. When he first arrived at the gate of the county government, he saw many more soldiers. Moreover, these soldiers were all tall and tall, and their clothes were different from those of Zhuo County soldiers. They all wore
Wearing a scarf woven from animal fur, the dress is similar to that of the grassland people. Zhu Han kept an eye on it and asked with a smile: "I wonder which nobleman is coming here? These guards look majestic!"
"Marquis Zhu Jun is joking, they are the Youzhou Cavalry under the command of General Gongsun!"
The servant replied with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that Gongsun Yue has arrived?"
Zhu Han raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.
"The county magistrate and Gongsun have already been waiting at the Yamen!"
The servant replied truthfully.
"Is there anyone else?"
Zhu Han calmly took out some copper coins and put them into the servant's hand. He chuckled and asked, "You must answer truthfully!"
"I don't dare to deceive Marquis Zhu Jun. In addition to the county magistrate and Gongsun, there is also the eldest son of the Hou family of Zhuoxian County!"
The servant quickly put away the copper coins and replied diligently.
"The eldest son of the Hou family?"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself, where did the Hou family come from again?
Seeing the confusion on Zhu Han's face, the servant quickly explained to him: "Marquis Zhu Jun doesn't know something. General Gongsun is the son-in-law of our Hou family in Zhuo County. The eldest son Hou was invited by Lord Gongsun to accompany him this time!"
"The son-in-law of the Hou family? Is it Gongsun Zan or Gongsun Yue?"
Zhu Han deliberately slowed down and asked suspiciously: "Brother, please explain the relationship between Jiang Jin, Gongsun Zan, and the Hou family in more detail. You have confused me!"
"Haha, since you, Marquis Zhu Jun, are so elegant, I will tell you a lesson, Marquis Zhu Jun!"
The servant explained to Zhu Han in detail the relationship between the two in a low voice.
When Zhu Han came to the door of the banquet hall, he figured out the relationship between these families, and immediately cursed secretly, thinking that he was the only outsider in this room.
"Haha... Zhu Junhou is here! Come on, come on, please sit down!"
Jiang Jin was sitting in the first place. When he saw Zhu Han arriving, he quickly stood up to greet him.
As soon as Zhu Han stepped into the room, the two people sitting under Jiang Jin looked at him at the same time. One of them was luxuriously dressed and handsome, like a young man.
