As the administrative seat of Lujiang, Shu County is the heartland of Yangzhou and the political center of the south.
In the palace of General Hussar, the officials are on duty.
Zhang Zhao got the news that Lu Xuan was about to make a triumphant return, and told Lu Kang personally, and then Lu Kang hurried to the Five Classics Hall. Zhang Zhao also arranged for someone to inform Da Qiao of the news of Lu Xuan's triumphant return, and then arranged for someone to deliver the news to Da Qiao.
The news spread throughout Shu County.
After arranging these matters, Zhang Zhao prepared to meet Lu Xuan. After everything was dealt with, Zhang Zhao continued to arrange the government affairs that the officials and Cao had to deal with one by one, and ordered: "Inform Zhuge Jin to come."
The attendant turned to inform.
After a while, a young man with a slender figure but a rather long face entered, bowed and said: "Zhuge Jin, a humble official, pays homage to Zhang Shangshu."
Zhuge Jin was a talent discovered by Zhang Zhao. He was steady, capable, and had a very good personality.
When Kan Ze was an official in Li Cao, although he was highly regarded by Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zhao even regarded Kan Ze as his disciple, some people in Li Cao disliked Kan Ze and were hostile to Kan Ze.
The relationship is not going well.
Zhuge Jin is different.
He has a very good relationship with most of the officials. Even the lowest-ranking officials admire Zhuge Jin immensely.
This is the reason why Zhang Zhao admires Zhuge Jin.
As an official, if you handle interpersonal relationships well, things will be easier to handle. Zhuge Jin is capable and can handle interpersonal relationships well, so he is an effective assistant for Zhang Zhao's training.
Today, Zhuge Jin serves as the official Cao Langzhong.
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "Ziyu, my lord is about to return to Shu County. Many documents from the officials must be prepared to be sent to my lord for review. In addition, my lord's whereabouts will be watched carefully. Once my lord is about to arrive in the county, all of us will
Go and greet the lord."
Zhuge Jin said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Minister, that all documents and materials have been archived in categories and can be subject to random inspection at any time. In addition, people have been arranged to keep an eye on the whereabouts of General Hussars."
Zhang Zhaodao: "That's good."
Zhuge Jin did not leave, he hesitated to speak, swallowed it back, bowed and said: "I resigned from my humble position."
Zhang Zhao said: "Wait a moment."
He looked at Zhuge Jin's expression and asked, "Tzuyu, what's the matter?"
Zhuge Jin organized his words and said: "Reporting to the minister, there is some discussion among the officials, saying that General Hussar defeated Cao Cao this time and captured Jingzhou and Yuzhou. His strength is unprecedentedly strong. He may be king, and he may be emperor in the south.
."
Zhang Zhao's face suddenly darkened.
The last Xiangrui incident had devastated him, causing him to go to work in the Five Classics Hall. Zhang Zhao still remembers this incident to this day.
This time, someone was talking with bad words again.
Zhang Zhao knew that Lu Xuan's plan was to develop in a low-key manner, and it was impossible to take the lead. Unless Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each took a step further and broke the current situation, Lu Xuan might follow suit and take a step further.
Otherwise, Lu Xuan would not act recklessly.
Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Tzuyu, please let me know. If anyone dares to criticize or gossip again, he will be beaten to death with a round stick. The Lord is a hussar general conferred by His Majesty and is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."
"Here!"
Zhuge Jin answered respectfully.
Zhang Zhao waved his hand and Zhuge Jin stepped back. Zhang Zhao's face looked a little ugly, he already had murderous intentions.
If anyone is stubborn, kill him.
As Zhuge Jin went to speak, the officials quickly calmed down and no one was talking anymore. Time passed day by day and entered early August. On this day, while Zhang Zhao was handling official duties, Zhuge Jin came to check the room.
, reported that Lu Xuan was approaching Shu County with his troops and would arrive in half an hour.
Zhang Zhao immediately notified the officials of each Cao Cao and took the civil and military officials to the south gate of Shu County to wait for Lu Xuan's triumphant return.
Zhang Zhao, Xu Shu, Kuai Yue, Chen Deng and others all greeted him together.
Although Chen Deng was here, he was isolated and not close to the officials of various bureaus. Many officials were even afraid of Chen Deng from the bottom of their hearts, and secretly cursed Chen Deng, saying that Chen Deng was murderous and had killed many officials.
Chen Deng didn't care. What he cared about was Lu Xuan's respect.
The group of people were waiting. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly that the Cavalry General was back. A pair of eyes instantly looked over and saw the team led by Lu Xuan. The moment Lu Xuan appeared with the army, people gathered on both sides of the official road.
Many people also became excited.
"Long live the Cavalry General!"
In the crowd, people suddenly shouted.
"Long live the Cavalry General!"
"Long live the Cavalry General!"
The people shouted loudly, regardless of whether they could say so, because Lu Xuan was born in Lujiang County, and because Lu Xuan unified the south, they could shout like this.
Lu Xuan led the army on the way. When he saw the people cheering, he smiled on his face. He looked at the excited people and the proud expressions on their faces, and he felt unprecedentedly proud in his heart.
The expressions shown by the people proved that he was right to go to war and defend Yangzhou.
Lu Xuan rode forward on his horse, waving to greet the people around him. After a while, Zhang Zhao led everyone to Lu Xuan. Zhang Zhao bowed and saluted: "Welcome my lord to triumph."
"Congratulations on your lord's triumphant return."
Civil servants and military officers all bowed and saluted.
With a smile on his face, Lu Xuan praised: "Being able to defeat Cao Cao and control Jingzhou this time depends on the hard work of the soldiers and the hard work of the generals. Without your hard work, there would be no ease and smoothness on the front line."
Zhang Zhao said humbly: "My lord, you have given me the reward."
The other officials were modest.
Lu Xuan and Zhang Zhao briefly talked with each other and then led everyone into the city. Zhang Liao and Chen Dao led the troops to garrison. As for Huang Zhong, he did not return to Shu County, but continued eastward along the Yangtze River.
Xuzhou.
The army was stationed in the city, and Lu Xuan returned to the general's mansion.
Everyone, perform their duties.
Lu Xuan invited Zhang Zhao to find out what happened during his time away from Shu County, and at the same time ordered Zhang Zhao to bring in the main files. Zhang Zhao had already prepared, so he directly ordered Zhuge Jin to send all the files.
Lu Xuan saw Zhuge Jin and asked, "Zi Bu, who is this person?"
Zhang Zhao said: "Reporting to my lord, this person's name is Zhuge Jin, he is the newly appointed official Cao Langzhong. He has been working in Li Cao before. He is conscientious, very careful and capable."
Lu Xuan's eyes showed a smile.
Zhuge Jin is a famous person in history, and he is indeed very capable.
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes and had an idea, and said: "The general's office is responsible for not only Yangzhou and Xuzhou, but also Jingzhou and Yuzhou, so I just let Kan Ze be the chief reporter around me and let Lu Rong
With the assistance of Lu Xun, there is insufficient manpower. I think Zhuge Jin is good, so I asked him to come to my side and also serve as the chief reporter."
Zhang Zhao was a little confused, and looked at Lu Xuan with even more resentment.
Poaching again.
He was responsible for a lot of official matters, and he finally found Zhuge Jin, and now he was poached directly by Lu Xuan.
It means that he has to train people again.
Zhang Zhao was unwilling in his heart, but Lu Xuan had arranged it, and since it was related to Zhuge Jin's future, Zhang Zhao could not hinder Zhuge Jin's progress. He could only say resentfully: "Tzuyu, why don't you thank your lord for your kindness?"
