There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Xu Chu glanced sideways at Mi Fang, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Shit."

The potter nodded in agreement: "The dog shit is in its early days, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Xu Chu cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Since this is the case, there is nothing wrong with a certain family. I will go back to the manor later, collect clan soldiers and bravery, and come to Mr. Tao's tent to listen to him! From now on, there will be dangers in the mountains of swords, and I will not hesitate to do so! I still look forward to Tao Da Don't forget what you said today!"

The potter's heart was much more relaxed now, and he said happily, "I got Zhongkang, and it's like getting Fan Kuai!"

Xu Chu then said to the pottery merchant: "My lord, there are less than a thousand soldiers from a certain clan in the village who can join the army, but the rest of the old and young in the village will have nothing to rely on in the future. I wonder if you can allow them to move into Xuzhou? That's fine. All the worries of the men who joined the army."

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "There is no problem with this. I will give a letter of divorce later and pass it to my father. Naturally, there will be arrangements in Xuzhou."

Xu Chu had a good time and said, "In this way, a certain family will have no more worries!"

"One thing, I hope brother Zhongkang can help me." The pottery merchant thought for a while, and said: "The Yellow Turban Army who surrendered from the previous round totaled more than [-] people. Now, as for the method of subduing these people, my side I'm not sure that Tao has never led soldiers, General Mi has only read military books, and General Xu has led the militia for a long time, I wonder if there is any way?"

Xu Chu said frankly: "It's hard to say, but it's actually simple. Most of the people in the yellow scarves are rogues. They became thieves because they cut off the way of survival. The first thing that Mr. Tao recruited them was to ensure their livelihood. , this food is the top priority.”

After a pause, Xu Chu continued: "After guaranteeing to eat, you can gradually accept your heart. You can divide the surrendered Yellow Turban Army into eight villages, each with 500 people, set up a husband, and then restrain them with hundreds of people, 4000 people. It will be no problem to set up a captain and supervise the production layer by layer."

The pottery merchant looked at Xu Chu for a while, and then suddenly said: "Our generals in Xuzhou are all officers and soldiers. They are organized and managed differently from the militia. Brother Xu has led the militia for a long time, and he has a deterrent effect. The chief captain who manages these yellow scarves I will ask you to do it for me, those chiefs and centurions are all selected from your clan's soldiers, how about it?"

"This Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao entrusted me with this heavy responsibility when a certain family first came to work. It is a bit rash. How dare a certain family take on such a heavy responsibility." Xu Chu never imagined that he had just defected to the potter's command However, the pottery merchant gave himself such a heavy burden, all of the more than [-] soldiers were commanded by himself. This kind of courage and trust really made Xu Chu admire the pottery merchant.

The pottery merchant patted Xu Chu on the shoulder, and said: "There is no need to doubt people, and no doubts about employing people. Everyone should use their abilities to the best of their abilities. If this army wants to integrate into our army in a short period of time, neither I nor General Mi can do it. Only Brother Xu can take on this important task, even if I ask Brother Xu for a favor!"

Having said all this, even though Xu Chu has a violent and fierce personality, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he cupped his hands and said, "Since the eldest son is so wrongly loved, how dare a certain family refuse to obey!"

In the first year of Chuping, after the Xuzhou Western Expeditionary Army conquered the Floating Cloud Yellow Turban Army, Xu Chu organized his clan soldiers to join him bravely.

According to Xu Chu's method, the potters divided the [-] Yellow Turban Army into eight villages and handed them over to Xu Chu for command. After the troops and horses were prepared, they marched towards Yingchuan where Kong Ni was located.

Yingchuan County is named after Yingshui, with eighteen leading counties. The First Capital of China was once the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the first slavery dynasty in vast China.

It took more than [-] years from the Xia Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the first year of Chuping, Yingchuan has become the center of civilization because of its long history and special and long cultural continuity.

Private schools in the Han Dynasty spread all over the Central Plains, but if it is the most prosperous, it is naturally dominated by Yingchuan!

Running a school is the same as opening a vegetable market. They like to gather together. Celebrities and Confucians all open stores in Yingchuan to accept apprentices. Over time, those with a little fame or private schools will also move their private schools here. It really is a hundred flowers blooming.

And the celebrities who came out of Yingchuan private school during this period, the most prestigious ones are undoubtedly Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and so on.

Of course, these celebrities have basically graduated from private schools. If the potter wants to find these people in the huge Shibazhou County of Yingchuan, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, they may not stay here even if they stay here. If you look for them, they may not piss off the pot of pottery.

The reason why Xu Chu got his job was that by chance, there was a common enemy, the Floating Cloud Yellow Turban Army. The potter could not expect another Yellow Turban Army to attack Yingchuan Academy and give him a chance to make friends with Yingchuan talents.

Searching for top advisers and generals everywhere, pretending to be a genius, is something that the lucky ones who are shrouded in colorful auspicious clouds can do. The pottery merchant is very practical, and he has to solve the problem in front of him.

There is only one thing to do in Yingchuan, and that is to find Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, to see if he can help solve the food problem.

After all, as Mi Fang said earlier, the addition of the Yellow Turban Army and soldiers from the Xu Chu clan created more than 5000 more mouths to eat out of thin air.

Chapter 20 Kong Ni, Inspector of Yuzhou

Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, once became a close friend with Fu Rong, a famous scholar, and was later recommended by him to serve as a strategist under the command of the prefect of Chenliu, which is a civil position.

I didn't want to catch up with Dong Zhuo and take power later, because Dong Zhuo wanted to buy people's hearts, so he appointed a large number of celebrities, including Kong Ni, and he gave a lot of bargaining chips, so he directly sealed the governor of Yuzhou.

Originally, he was just a civil servant with only a false name, but he was suddenly promoted to be a guard. Kong Ni was so happy that he was about to explode.

But happiness is fleeting, and if one is not careful, the princes from all walks of life responded to the Jiaozhao one after another and formed a coalition army to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Originally, Kong Ni became the guard of one side, and should be able to lead the other side comfortably. After a few years of hard work, he never thought that such a big thing would be spread out before waiting for a few months.

Originally, he wanted not to get involved, but in the end he received a letter from Yuan Shu, the later general, inviting Kong Ni to join the alliance.

It was said to be an invitation, but Yuan Shu's letter contained threats and threats, and the tone of the words seemed to have won over Kong Ni's second son. Kong Ni was already timid, and he didn't care about Dong Zhuo's support when he was threatened by Yuan Shu. Thank you so much, I immediately agreed to join the alliance.

But he agreed to join the alliance, and Kong Ni still had trouble with how to send troops. He had only been in office for a few months, and his ass was still hot. To be honest, he even recognized the names of the generals and lieutenants under his command, so sending troops was like a joke.

It was at this juncture that the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants arrived in Yangdi, Yingchuan.

The spring breeze blows the soft green willow branches, and the new buds keep their heads quietly when it rains.

In front of the city gate of Yangdi, a group of 1000 fine cavalry lined up to look after them. Seeing the arrival of Xuzhou army horses, a scribe headed by them slowly rode out. He looked thin, gentle, with a slightly dark yellow face. From time to time, there was a hint of worry, and there was no doubt that it was Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.

With his official position and status, it is reasonable to not go out of the city to greet him in person, but now that the world is chaotic, the size of the official position can only scare the common people in the local states and counties, but it is not popular in the circle of princes who rely on their fists for food.

Kong Ni's strength is in the circle of vassals, if it is said to be the second to last, the position of the first to last will basically have to be vacant.

So Kong Ni is very humble in doing things. This time he led all the elite cavalry in Yangzhai City to meet this kind of battle, which can be said to be very embarrassing to the Xuzhou Army.

"Eldest Prince." Mi Fang softly called out to the potter from the side: "We have to go up to greet Kong Cishi. His official position is similar to that of Tao Shijun, so we must not neglect it."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Understood."

A group of generals from Xuzhou rode forward, Mi Fang, Tao Shang, Xu Chu and others all got off their horses, and Kong Ni was also very sensible, without any pretentiousness, he also turned to greet him.

"Xuzhou's Western Expeditionary Commander Mi Fang supervised the pottery merchants, and met the governor of Kong." Mi Fang and the pottery saluted at the same time.

Kong Ni really lived up to his reputation as a celebrity, and he spoke politely and bookishly: "General Mi and Mr. Tao came to join us from afar, which shows Tao Gongzu's loyalty and sincerity to King Qin. It really is a sign of the sun and the moon! I think I used to talk to Tao Gongzi You have a lot of ties, Gongzu is a benevolent gentleman, and his demeanor makes people bow down. He and I have a close relationship, which is enough to be called a confidant, just like Boya Ziqi. After all, you have to call me Shishu. "

The pottery merchant kept a humble smile on his face, and celebrities with a heart had a thick skin, and they took advantage of me when they came up.

Kong Ni didn't notice it, but looked at the potter carefully up and down for a while, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Seeing the son of an old man, he looks like a father, it's really comforting to me, My nephew does not disgrace the style of the family, he really deserves to be the descendant of our famous family, Uncle Shi is very pleased."

The pottery merchant didn't know if the relationship between Kong Ni and Tao Qian was really that good as a celebrity scholar. Print the word "famous family" on the top of the forehead and go out to show off.

But at this moment, people are opening their mouths to say that they know your father. If the pottery merchant doesn't say something appropriate to the situation, wouldn't it be clear that he will not give face to Mingshi Kong?

The potter bowed to Kong Ni and said, "Uncle Kong Shi, when I was in Pengcheng, I often heard my father talk about the past between the two of you. It is also my father who asked me to learn from Uncle Shi when I came to Yingchuan. Order me to greet Uncle Shi on his behalf."

"Well, good! Good! Sure enough, it is the queen of the gentleman, my nephew, the banquet has been set up in Yangzhai, let's go and drink a few cups with Uncle Shi."

Kong Ni was very happy, and he recognized his eldest nephew for nothing!So he stretched out his hand to pick up the potter, and went to the city.

Over there, the generals under Kong Ni's command arranged for Mi Fang, Xu Chu and others to enter the city respectively. Mi Fang went in with them, but Xu Chu didn't. He just wanted to personally arrange camping outside the city.

The long main road runs through the whole of Yangdi, surrounded by well-shaped streets paved with rammed clay, which are connected with the surrounding stalls and houses in a patchwork manner, like a big fishing net covering the whole main city.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yingchuan was also the main battlefield, but it still has such a peaceful appearance after six years, which shows that this place has a long history.It is worthy of the reputation of the first capital of the Central Plains.

Kong Ni's governor's mansion is in the middle of Yangdi's main street.

Kong Ni arranged a banquet to entertain the potter and Mi Fang. There was wine and meat in the banquet, which greatly suited Mi Fang's appetite. frown, frown

Shame!

Kong Ni was also very particular about his meals, and looked a little embarrassed when he saw Mi Fang's eating. It was obvious that Mi Fang's eating methods were not in the eyes of this famous scholar.
