Chapter 25 Trial and Match of Wei County
While inviting the county officials' council, Liu Zhong ordered the newly-successful elite soldiers to defeat the three right-ranked families who participated in it with thunder. These three families were the main plot and the main force of the operation.
In just one hour, Liu Zhong's soldiers shocked the entire Gaoyi County with their fierce record of dozens of injuries and no one was killed, making the other people in the county look at him and settled down. After Lu Liang saw the three people in charge who were escorted up, he was also shocked.
In this way, these delusions drove Wen Chou out of Gaoyi and became prisoners, and Liu Zhong's prestige also established, causing other households with some minor thoughts to immediately change their minds to turn to Wen Chou. Since then, Gao Yi County has entered a period of peace, gathering refugees, attracting people to be kind, building academic halls, organizing caravans, etc., everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Wen Chou and Wen Ba were unaware of the changes that Gaoyi County had experienced. They were now on their way to Wei County.
After leaving Guangping County, Wen Chou and his two men went south and naturally saw the villages that were sheltering refugees, confirming Wen Chou's previous conjecture. Wei County is located a hundred miles south of Guangping County, and Yin'an where Shen Pei lives is in the southeast of Wei County. Wen Chou basically needs to run through Wei County north and south before he can reach Yin'an and see Shen Pei. This is not a short distance.
Wen Chou and Wen Ba rode their horses all the way south. During this period, they were very happy to talk. There were often times when they educated the Wen Ba, and there were also days when they sorted out their own income. Although there were more refugees along the way, it could not affect Wen Chou's admiration and appreciation of the beautiful rivers and mountains. The sunrise rose and watched the morning light shine on the earth; the sunset was resting, and the sunset was seen shining through the sky. The horse stepped on the earth, raising the smoke and dust all the way; the passion was soaring to the sky.
After three days of walking and stopping, Wen Chou finally came to Yin'an, Weijun. The reason why he was walking and stopping was that Wen Chou thought of winning the best interests for his family among the many counties and towns he passed along the way. Of course, sometimes it was because he was a willful viewing, which was touched.
When I came to Yin'an, I found out that no one knew that the Shen family was in Wei County. The Shen family was also the most powerful family. It was considered to be the right surname in the county, which was more powerful than the Ju Lu surname of Ju, not to mention a rural family like the Wen Chou and Wen family, which was not of the same level at all.
Wen Chou also has the reputation of knowing this, and he does not hope that Shen Pei can look up to him at first glance. As long as he can see the person and leave a good impression, even if the trip is successful, Wen Chou does not want to trade with Shen’s family. Of course, if he can really reach an agreement, it is the best.
Mr. Shen Pei currently lives in Yin'an County, Wei County. His clan is the largest clan family in the county. He has thousands of clans and only a thousand clans, and his family is innumerable. He is a parent of Shen Jia. He also heard that Pei is a straightforward nature and admires the integrity of the ancients. He can be called a man with strong and upright meaning in ancient times. This is the situation of Shen Pei that Wen Chou learned from his housekeeper Chen Shu.
The Shen Pei family has been a scholar, a family of officials, a rich population, and a large clan. Shen Pei is also a parent of the Shen family who holds great power and has a strong power. Moreover, Shen Pei admires the integrity of the ancients and has a loyal heart. He also learns the art of being erect and leading troops. He handles political affairs. This is summarized by Wen Chou using his views and knowledge in this life, combined with what he knows in later generations.
Both points show that Shen Pei is a rare talent. If you really want to pick some flaws from it, it means that Shen Pei's clan is too grand, and Shen Pei's person is too fond of power. This is also something that is often criticized in history.
Before the Battle of Guandu, Xun Yu, who was a talented king and a disciple of this era, once commented on Yuan Shao's counselors: Tian Feng was tough and violated the superiors, Xu You was greedy but did not know, Shen Feng was dedicated but had no strategy, Feng Ji Fruit was useless, which means that Tian Feng was too strong and always offended his master Yuan Shao, Xu You was too greedy for money. He was not wise enough to do things, Shen Feng was too arrogant and had no strategy, and although Feng Ji was decisive, it was useless.
Of course, as a figure in the enemy camp, Xun Yu was inevitably biased and too magnified the shortcomings of these people. However, what he said clearly pointed out the shortcomings of the four people.
In the future development, Tian Feng died because of offending Yuan Shao, while Xu You was exposed by Shen Pei for indulging his clan members to be too greedy. Shen Pei made a prosecutor for making Yuan Shang the heir because she wanted to dominate Yuan Chao, which led to a fight between brothers and was defeated by Cao Cao. Pang Ji died under Yuan Tan's sword.
Wen Chou looked at Yin'an County and recalled everything about Shen Pei. He thought to himself: "No matter whether Shen Pei is a great talent in governing the family or a country or a tyrannical mediocre talent, he is the famous figure who has left history, and is not something he can criticize now. It's okay if he can meet for a while."
Wen Chou came from afar, and after entering Yin'an County, he headed straight to the place where Shen Mansion was. When he arrived at a magnificent and huge mansion, he couldn't help but sigh that Shen's family was rich and generous, and it was really luxurious and generous. Amid the urging of the guards, Wen Ba handed over the famous sect in anger. Under Wen Chou's comfort, he stood at the door and waited quietly.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly. Although Wen Chou and Wen Ba were waiting for him nervously outside the door, Shen Pei was enjoying it tightly and ordered people to carry the soft couch and put it in the yard, then lay on the couch, covering their faces with white silk, and sleeping soundly. These days, the family's power has developed smoothly, so although he is the leader, he is quite leisurely.
"Ka, da, da."
At this time, the footsteps sounded, and the attendant walked in from outside. Shen Pei asked with some care: "Who is here to bother?" In ordinary times, if there is nothing important, the attendant would not bother him.
"Changshan is ugly." said the attendant.
"I have never heard of Changshan's humanistic ugliness, but where did this come out again? The scholars have never heard of the Wen clan in Changshan." Shen Pei said in confusion.
"There is the name of that man here, please check it out." The attendant handed it with respect.
This aroused the interest of Shen Pei. He took over the Mingtao and scanned it, saying disdainfully: "Who is my Tao? It's just a newly rising warrior who has been appointed as the magistrate of Qianshi County."
The judgment of Wen Chou by the military man shows that he was disdainful of Wen Chou. He was about to retreat the attendant, but after thinking for a while, he changed his mind, lifted Bai Bo and stood up, and said to the attendant: "Go, invite him into the hall and serve tea." Only Shen Pei himself knew the ideological change he experienced.
Under the white silk, an extremely strong face was revealed, with a bright eyes and a very hard aura. I knew people by observing the spirit and being cautious, just as Chen Ming said, admired the ancients, strong and honest.
"No." The attendant Yingnuo said and walked out.
"Changshan Wen Chou has been able to destroy the enemy in a county after a year and restore a large county. It's interesting, and it's okay to see him when he meets him." Shen Pei said while walking jokingly.
Not long after, Shen Pei came to the hall and saw a calm and steady person sitting upright in the hall, a person with a rather chaotic aura living beside the man, and he already knew the main person to be the meeting.
"Yeah, the impression is pretty good. It's rare if you're a rude person." Shen Pei said in her heart. On her face, Shen Pei didn't show anything until she sat down at the main seat, and then asked, "What's the matter when I come to see me from Changshan?"
"I heard about Shen Gong's name for a long time, and I admire him very much, so I came here." Wen Chou bowed and said with a smile.
"Haha, I am a literati. I can't give you any advice on your martial arts. How can you say that you admire me?" Shen Pei said teasingly.
"No, I have heard that you admire the aspirations of the ancients and are full of integrity. How can there be warriors and scholars be different? The rumors outside the world are untrue. If this is the case, then the kid is wrong." Wen Chou said seriously.
"Haha, Wen Zixiao can defeat the two thieves and the two places. It is indeed an ordinary person. I am very surprised when I see him." Shen Pei was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Wen Chou said this and said vaguely, he rebuked him. However, this is also the integrity that the ancients should have. He was very happy and said with a smile.
Then Wen Chou and Shen Pei had a long conversation. The content of the conversation started from Wei County, from astronomy to geography, from overseas to folk customs, and Wen Chou even talked about Shen Pei's preferences. His words were full of integrity and hidden philosophy, which made Shen Pei shout happily, as if he met a close friend.
This conversation made Shen Pei have a new understanding of this martial artist whom he had originally disdained, and also raised Wen Chou's status in his heart several levels. When he heard that Wen Chou wanted to start a deal with him, he agreed immediately. This was not Shen Pei's recklessness and easy to talk, but his sharp vision. It can be seen that Wen Chou must not be a temporary talent, and the Shen family grew and grew stronger through Shen Pei's sharp vision.
The conversation ended because of another person's visit. Of course, this person was also very angry because Wen Chou, because after hearing that it was his visit, Shen Pei did not meet him immediately. Instead, he waited in the side hall for a long time until he saw Wen Chou go, and then invited him to the hall.
Wen Chou was not aware of this. He was still immersed in the conversation with Shen Pei, and had a new understanding of Shen Pei's generosity and the power of Shen's family. He was also very impressed by Shen Pei's knowledge and insights. On the way back to his foothold, Wen Chou sorted out the gains this time and even more said that this trip was worthwhile.
Not only Wen Chou was excited, but also Wen Ba had already thrown away the aggrievance he had suffered before at the gate of Shenfu after hearing the cheap trading conditions of Shenfu.
After seeing Wen Chou off, Shen Pei asked the servant to invite the man from the side hall. Soon, a man with a slightly sinister aura came over with a gloomy face. Although this person tried his best to conceal his sinisterness and gloom, Shen Pei still saw it at a glance, frowned and was displeased.
