Chapter 53: The God-Subject Yan Zhong

At that time, in September, there were several heavy rains in Sanfu and Xiliang. The drought had just passed and the floods came again. The weather began to turn colder, and the refugees did not decrease due to the rain. Instead, the temperature suddenly dropped, causing a sharp increase in the number of deaths.

Guanzhong and Guanxi are everywhere, and a large number of hungry people are struggling on the brink of death.

After Huangfu Jian learned that Emperor Ling of Han granted him the title of the prefect of Anding County, he immediately ordered that refugees be collected around Pegasus Ranch. This time there will be no restrictions. In just a period of time, Pegasus Ranch took in more than 50,000 hungry people.

Huangfu Jian's actions not only aroused criticism from the surrounding powerful people, but also different voices appeared inside the Pegasus Ranch. If Huangfu Jian hadn't been more prestige, he wouldn't have known any trouble. But this time Huangfu Jian was very stubborn and insisted on seeing him no matter who raised his objection. Because he knew that population in this era was the greatest wealth.

It was the evening of the next day when Huangfu Jian and his party arrived in Linjing City.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the dilapidated walls of Linjing City, it looks extremely bleak. Although it is a county town, Linjing City is not big, with low walls and many traces of war. The city has a population of less than 10,000, which is extremely deserted.

When the county soldiers guarding the city saw such a large group of people coming, they thought it was Qianghu who had come, so they hurriedly pulled up the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, and shouted loudly. For a moment, the county soldiers on the city were running back and forth, panicking.

The soldiers from the Pegasus Ranch had already come to the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, the new prefect Huangfu, please inform the officials in the city quickly and leave the city to greet them!"

After seeing clearly that the person coming from the county was a Han officer and soldier, the soldiers in the city shouted to the city with courage: "Wait a moment, and the villain will notify Lord Changshi now."

Yan Zhong, the chief of Anding County, was busy handling government affairs in the prefect's office. At this time, a young man ran in and reported: "Report to the chief of the city, a team of people came from outside the city to claim to be the newly appointed county magistrate. Please go out of the city to greet him."

"The new county prefect." Yan Zhong's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he muttered in a low voice.

Who is Yan Zhong? He is a well-known figure in Xiliang, with great wisdom and good strategy, and is known as a divine calculation. The Yan family was also a wealthy family in Hanyang, Xiliang. In the history of Huangfu Jian's previous life, Yan Zhong was the leader of Huangfu Song, the general of the chariot and cavalry. After Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he urged Huangfu Song to take the opportunity to coup. Huangfu Song refused to obey, and Yan Zhong left Huangfu Song. Later, the kingdom and Han Sui rebelled and robbed Yan Zhong as the commander. Yan Zhong refused to obey and died of resentment.

After a while, Yan Zhong calmed down a little and said to the officials around him helplessly: "The new prefect is here, let's take it with me!"

The originally quiet government office suddenly became lively. After a storm, officials walked out of the big yamen in neat clothes. The yamen on both sides of the yamen were also standing on both sides with their eyes and their noses.

The suspension bridge in Linjing City slowly fell down and the city gate was wide open. Under Yan Zhong, the city officials stepped on their official steps one by one and carefully welcomed them out of the city gate. Then came out a band, beating gongs, drums, and long trumpets, and low and tragic trumpets resounded through the sky. Behind were the county soldiers in the city, taking neat steps, and lined up on both sides.

Huangfu Jian did not know the situation in Anding County, but knew that the county magistrate was hanging high, and that the county affairs were all under the responsibility of the chief minister. He did not know who the chief minister was. Seeing such a formation in the city, Huangfu Jian did not get up in the war god carriage, but was observing secretly. Seeing that these officials had made such a big noise in such a short time, and were orderly, he secretly admired the ability of the chief minister, so he had the idea of ​​taking it back to the tent.

Huangfu Jian slowly got off the war god car, looked at the officials kneeling on both sides of the road with bright eyes, waved his hand and said lightly: "Everyone, I am here for the first time, I would like to ask you all for advice!"

Huangfu Jian's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in everyone's ears. The officials kneeling on both sides slowly stood up and looked up, and couldn't help but be surprised. They only received a letter from the capital not long ago, saying that a new prefect took office, but no one knew that the new prefect was so young, which was a bit of a playful smell.

Although Yan Zhong, who was standing in front, could not see any expression on his face, his heart was turbulent. He could see at a glance that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, and he could walk calmly at a young age, with a mysterious feeling, and a transcendent momentum in his eyes.

Yan Zhong is known as a divine calculation, and since these county officials are not comparable. When Jia Xu was still young, he asserted: "Xu has good fortune and is peaceful."

"The lower official Yan Zhong, Hanyang, met the prefect." Yan Zhong did not feel disrespectful at all because of Huangfu Jian's young age, and respectfully greeted Huangfu Jian.

"Sir is Yan Zhong, Hanyang. Please give me a gift. I'm young and have little knowledge. I need more advice from you in the future." There are not many people who can be called Mr. Huangfu Jian at present. Jia Xu is one, and Yan Zhong is one now.

Huangfu Jian never dreamed that Yan Zhong will be the chief secretary here, and thought that Yan Zhong and the Huangfu family were really destined to be. In his previous history, Yan Zhong was the military advisor of his uncle Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song's invincible record contained most of Yan Zhong's contributions, but he never expected that he would become his chief secretary now. No wonder he was able to create such a large-scale welcome ceremony in such a short time.

"The officials dare not, please invite the lord into the city." Yan Zhong saw that Huangfu Jian was young, he was calm and polite, and looked very humble.

At this time, Jia Xu also came from behind. Jia Xu and Yan Zhong were originally old acquaintances and had a very short relationship. Jia Xu was appreciated by Yan Zhong when he was young. The two met again after a long separation and were extremely enthusiastic.

Jia Xu said: "It turns out that the chief of Anding County is the elder brother? You and my brother are next door and are neighbors, but they don't know each other. It's because I have made it so hard for me!"

"Wenhe brothers are here too? Aren't you feeling unwell?" Seeing Jia Xu appearing in Huangfu Jian's convoy, Yan Zhong couldn't understand the young man in front of him. He knew that Jia Xu had a high vision, but now he has become the follower of the young man in front of him. Yan Zhong fell into deep thought.

"Brother Yan laughed. I am now the military advisor of my young master. This time I accompanied my young master to take office. I didn't expect you to be the stable chief minister. It's such a fate!" Jia Xu sighed.

"Everyone should go to the city first, and then slowly talk about it, it's getting late." Huangfu Jian said when it's too late.

Huangfu Jian got on the God of War Cart, and everyone rushed into the city.

After entering the city, Xu Huang brought eight hundred personal guards to replace Linjing City's defense, and Hua Xiong also took two hundred personal guards to replace the city lord's defense.

At night, there were two people in a separate courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion, talking in a hurry. It was Jia Xu and Yan Zhong. Originally, after Huangfu Jian moved into the City Lord's Mansion, Yan Zhong should have moved out, but Huangfu Jian did not agree. He called it: There are still many things that Jian had to ask the teacher for advice. It would be easier to ask him for advice when he lived together.

In this way, Yan Zhong stayed with gratitude.

"After many years, my brothers have been together again. It's fate!" When Jia Xu was young, Yan Zhong had met him. Others were not optimistic about Jia Xu, but Yan Zhong said, "Xu is good and peaceful." Later, he took good care of Jia Xu and became a close friend, which moved Jia Xu very much.

"Brother Wenhe hasn't told Brother Yu yet, why did you get together with the prefect? ​​A few years ago, Brother Yu heard that the court appointed you as a Langguan, but he was a Beijing official. With his brother's talent, his future was limitless. Later, I heard that you quit illness, which was a pity for your brother. But I didn't expect to meet a brother again." The two of them chatted endlessly while drinking.

"In the opinion of Brother Yan, the current Grand Marshal Duan Bing may last for a long time?" Jia Xu did not directly answer Yan Zhong's words, but asked back.

"Brother Wenhe is going to take the exam for the better. Lord Duan Bing is now at its peak, but it is not lasting. There are many crises behind the glory. Lord Duan is mixed between eunuchs and party members. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of overturning!" Yan Zhong thought for a while and said.

"Brother is very good, this is the reason why I resigned from office. I was elected by Lord Duan Yi and was already marked as Lord Duan Yi. Once Lord Duan Yi has a good or bad situation, wouldn't I have to suffer the unrestrained disaster? Is it necessary for me to resign from office? The capital is gathering, so how can I be free and easy?" The two of them felt the same and laughed at the same time.

"I'm not hiding it from my brother, I'm here today and there are important things to discuss." After laughing, Jia Xu took the opportunity to ask while taking advantage of the alcohol.

"Brother, don't be polite, please speak." Yan Zhong said with a smile.

"Brother, how lucky is the world of this great man today?" Jia Xu asked.

"Now today, the powerful people and powerful people are rising together, and the local forces are extremely inflated, but the emperor is weak and can be bullied. The officials of the court and the officials are fighting to maintain the government's affairs, and external troubles are not stable, and the internal harm cannot be cured. The internal and external troubles are broken. The world of the Han Dynasty is like a towering tree, with lush branches and leaves on the outside, but the foundation is rotten and overwhelmed! Once a strong wind suddenly comes, it will fall down with a bang." Yan Zhong said seriously with a flat face.

"What my brother saw is exactly the same as my young master! It's better for my brother to work together to assist my young master to achieve success and achieve success. I wonder what my brother wants?" This is not the first time Jia Xu has heard such a remark, but it still touched him a little.

"Premier Huangfu has such insights at such a young age! It's really not easy! My foolish brother wants to find a wise master but cannot see him. Now he has a wise master in front of him, so how can he miss it." Yan Zhong has long been dissatisfied with this inaction in the Han Dynasty, and he is just powerless.

"So good! You and my brother can finally work together to create unparalleled achievements!" After Jia Xu said that, the two raised their hands to celebrate.
