Seeing the middle-aged man greeting everyone present in a familiar manner, Luo Yang couldn't help but secretly sigh, he is indeed a talent who specializes in officialdom! This middle-aged man is Cheng Yu, whom Luo Yang and Guo Jia failed to find last time!
Last time I hurried back from Hulao Pass, I didn't have time to go to Dong'a. If I waited for Cao Cao to return to Chenliu, then Cheng Yuke would be invited by Cao Cao. So after returning to Jingzhou
, Luo Yang hurriedly sent Guo Jia out and asked him to invite Cheng Yu. Originally, Luo Yang wanted to go in person, but when he returned to Xiangyang, all the government and military affairs were piled up. In desperation, Luo Yang only had
Zhang Liao and Bingzhou cavalry were sent to protect Guo Jia along the way.
Originally, Luo Yang was worried that if he did not invite Cheng Yu in person, he would cause dissatisfaction and lead to failure. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the news came that it had been successful! After learning the news, Luo Yang was really overjoyed.
, so it’s only after Guo Jia and the others came back today that Luo Yang arranged such a welcoming formation. As for Luo Yang’s other subordinates, except for Gan Ning, Wenpin and Zhao Qiang who stayed in Nanyang to guard against the angry Yuan Shu, everyone else
I'm busy with other things in the city, so I can't come.
Seeing that the relationship between Cheng Yu and everyone was pretty good, Luo Yang also nodded and smiled, walked forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Mr. Cheng also came from afar, and we are just standing here.
What's going on at the gate of the city! Let's go, let's go to the governor's house in the city! It's almost noon, it's time for dinner, we are going to have a good drunken time today!"
Hearing that there was drinking, the most excited person was not Huang Zhong and other generals, but Guo Jia, a little drunkard. After being lectured by the miracle doctor in the Zhang Family Courtyard, Guo Jia was able to give up his addiction to Five Stone Pills.
, but this alcohol addiction seems to be getting worse! Fortunately, there is a future medical sage like Zhang Ji beside him. Although alcohol is harmful to the body, there is no big problem with the anti-hangover pills specially prepared by Zhang Ji for Guo Jia.
.So when he heard that he wanted to drink, Guo Jia immediately jumped up and laughed loudly: "It's good to have wine! It's good to have wine! But getting good wine is bitter but also joyful!" Luo Yang stared helplessly.
Guo Jia took one look, stepped forward, took Cheng Yu's hand, and walked into the city hand in hand with Cheng Yu with a smile.
Although Xiangyang City is prosperous, there are brave soldiers to open the way, so the road is smooth. However, all the way to the Governor's Mansion, there is another group of people guarding the door early. Seeing Luo Yang and others coming,
Those people all came up with smiles and bowed their hands to Luo Yang. Luo Yang waved his hand, exempting them from the etiquette, and introduced Cheng Yu again.
Luo Yang seized Jingzhou with thunderous means. Although he did not suffer much losses as a result, he uprooted the Kuai family and Cai family who had dominated Jingzhou for many years, leaving counties across Jingzhou without a large number of officials to manage it! And these people are
Most of the talents Luo Yang collected in Jingzhou during this period were civil servants. Although they were not extremely wise men like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, most of them were useful talents.
The middle-aged man in his forties standing at the front is Liu Xiang from Lingling. This man once served as the governor of Jiangxia and was good at enforcing laws. However, because he did not choose to be attached to the power of the Cai family and the Kuai family,
, so he was replaced by Deng Xi from the Cai family. After that, Liu Xiang simply resigned and went home to live a secluded life. After Luo Yang took over Jingzhou, Deng Xi mentioned this person to Luo Yang and was very impressed by his ability.
He was highly praised, so Luo Yang sent someone to invite him out. He was first appointed as Cao Shuzuo, the great disciple of Jingzhou, and was in charge of Jingzhou's legal system.
Standing with Liu Xiang, but slightly younger than Liu Xiang, is Zhao Fang from Hengshan. This person is not a scholar, but a military general! Of course, he is naturally not as good as a general like Huang Zhong.
Even Pei Yuanshao, the weakest among them all, was much better than him! But Zhao Fang had been in the army for many years and was proficient in military affairs, so he was appointed by Luo Yang to serve as a soldier and help manage trivial military affairs.
Standing behind Liu Xiang and Zhao Fang are Lou Gui from Nanyang, Liu Du from Lingling, and Jin Xuan from Jingzhao. They can all be regarded as heroes of the moment, and they are all ready to be sent to Luoyang to hold positions in various places in Jingzhou. But they are temporarily
He didn't have time to go to his post, so Cheng Yu came today. After receiving Luo Yang's prior order, he arrived at the governor's mansion early to wait.
Cheng Yu was not pretentious at all. He came forward to greet him one by one with a warm attitude. Originally, these people had to wait here for so long because of Luo Yang's order, and they felt a little dissatisfied. Now with Cheng Yu's actions, they
The dissatisfaction in his heart had long since dissipated. Luo Yang secretly sighed at Cheng Yu's superb methods, but he raised his head and glanced among the crowd. Finally, he frowned, turned to Xi Zhicai and asked quietly: "Zhicai.
, where did that Jia Xu go?"
"Jia Xu?" As soon as Xi Zhicai heard Luo Yang's question, the gloomy face all day long appeared in his mind, and he also frowned. Although since he met Jia Xu, Jia Xu's performance
It seems that he is extremely ordinary, but what kind of person is Xi Zhi? You can always detect the unusualness of this person from Jia Xu's movements. He also followed Luo Yang, turning his head and scanning around, and finally suddenly
His eyes lit up, he pointed his finger very covertly, and said to Luo Yang: "Master! There he is!"
Luo Yang followed Xi Zhicai's hand and saw a middle-aged man wearing a black long coat standing there at the threshold of the Governor's Mansion in front of him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Xu? Luo Yang
A strange expression appeared on his face. It seemed that he had just seen that place, and he didn't seem to see Jia Xu's figure? Why did Jia Xu appear again in the blink of an eye?
Seemingly aware of Luo Yang's gaze, Jia Xu turned his head to look at Luo Yang, smiled and saluted. Looking at Jia Xu's seemingly ordinary appearance, Luo Yang seemed to understand something more, it was Jia Xu's sense of presence!
This guy has no sense of existence at all! This guy was actually there all the time just now, but Luo Yang glanced at him, but he didn't notice his existence! Luo Yang couldn't help feeling cold in his heart. Fortunately, this guy doesn't know martial arts.
, otherwise, just because of the lack of presence in this hand, then Jia Xu is a born assassin!
Cheng Yu who was on the side finished greeting everyone and turned around to see Luo Yang staring at a certain place. He couldn't help but be curious and turned to follow Luo Yang's gaze. Cheng Yu's eyes were the same as Jia's.
The moment Xu's eyes collided, they froze immediately. Whether it was Cheng Yu or Jia Xu, their expressions couldn't help but change. The look in their eyes suddenly changed from plain and modest to a wave of chill!
Those people next to Cheng Yu originally wanted to talk to Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu's sudden change shocked them!
Xi Zhi just met Luo Yang and Guo Jia who were beside Cheng Yu. He quickly stepped forward to take over the conversation. While chatting and laughing with Liu Xiang and others, Luo Yang glanced at Cheng Yu quietly. This time Cheng Yu and Jia
It was obvious that Xu was a scholar with no power, so how could he have such murderous intent? Luo Yang was really puzzled!
After nearly half a stick of incense, the coldness in the eyes of Cheng Yu and Jia Xu suddenly disappeared. The two of them smiled at the same time, as if they had a tacit understanding. Cheng Yu first bowed his hands to Jia Xu across the crowd, and Jia Xu
Xu immediately returned the greeting with his hands raised. After the two saluted, Jia Xu returned to his previous appearance, standing there motionless, while Cheng Yu seemed to have nothing to do with him, and started chatting and laughing with everyone with a happy face again.
Seeing that both of them had returned to normal, Luo Yang was a little confused again, but he couldn't ask Cheng Yu, so he turned around and quietly pulled Xi Zhicai, and asked quietly: "Zhicai! What are these two people doing?
Ghost?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Cheng Yu, then at Jia Xu, with a faint smile on his face, and replied in a low voice to Luo Yang: "Please don't worry, my lord! The two of them should be enemies in chess, or in other words, they have bumped into each other."
Just the same kind!" After saying that, Xi Zhicai laughed a few more times. In fact, he felt a lot more relieved. Before, he was worried that Jia Xu would be difficult to control, but now that Cheng Yu is here, the two of them can restrain each other.
He doesn’t need to put too much energy into these two people!
After a while of greetings, everyone was invited into the hall of the Governor's Mansion. Not long after, Zhao Yun and other generals who were in the military camp also arrived one after another. After another introduction, everyone was finally seated according to their official positions, Cheng Yu's seat.
However, Luo Yang specifically pointed him to the position between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. This position is not low, and this can be regarded as announcing to everyone Cheng Yu's future status under Luo Yang's tent.
Soon the food and drinks were served. After everyone toasted a round of wine, the atmosphere became lively. Everyone toasted and drank happily. As the protagonist of this banquet, Cheng Yu was naturally indispensable.
He proposed a toast, but was blocked by Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Cheng Yu, patting his chest. I don’t know if Guo Jia was doing it to help Cheng Yu or because he was greedy!
Halfway through the banquet, Huang Zhong, who was already a little tipsy, raised his glass and said to Luo Yang: "Lord! We have been staying in Jingzhou for more than half a year! Brothers are asking, when can we start?" Huang Zhong was in Nanyang some time ago.
When I was young, I got along with Gan Ning a lot, and I actually learned Gan Ning's slang. He sounded like a group of bandits discussing when to go down the mountain to make a fortune.
As soon as Huang Zhong said these words, all the generals sitting below stopped drinking wine in their hands and turned their heads. Their ears stood up. In fact, Huang Zhong had been holding back this question for a long time.
In their hearts, as a military general, how could he not expect to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds! But Luo Yang didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to ask more questions. Now that Huang Zhong asked about it out of drunkenness, they really wanted to know.
