Chapter 53 The trip to the county seat
There is no need to mention Guo Jia's reputation here. The influence of the title of "born Guo Fengxiao" in this era may not be comparable to that of later generations. Whether it is his first return to Yuan Shao, his understanding and acquaintance with Cao Cao, his words, Sun Ce was killed by a man, or his legacy of the plan to determine the rumors of Liaodong, which one is not an existence that has gone down in history?
Now that Guo Jia is included in the camp of Wen Chou under the recommendation of Xun Yu, what kind of experience will he have! But one thing is certain, that is, Guo Jia can get better performance in Wen Chou who is familiar with him and can create more things to talk about for this era.
In this way, everyone rode forward and arrived at Yangdi County Government. The county government found out the information. The officials naturally welcomed the prefecture, and many county sergeants were also welcomed.
Although Wen Chou was born in martial arts, he had been in office for so many years and had already practiced the methods of respecting wise men and geniuses. It can be said that he had been integrated into him, and he would not make any mistakes in his dream after he was drunk. This is also one of the reasons why he was recognized by the scholars of Yingchuan when he first came to Yingchuan.
This time, although he came to Yangdi in the name of "debating Dong", he also had a covetous desire for Yuzhou, and even if he could not fight for Sun Jian, he could gain a strong helper for his entry into Jizhou. Therefore, after Kong Yi arrived, he must suppress him. Of course, the scholars of Yingchuan County officials who came to welcome him would not be too great and humble themselves. In this way, whether they knew him or not, the county officials and scholars welcomed him into the county government, and after they retreated, they would praise him for his humility and retreat.
There was no prefect in the palace, and they were all county officials. The five-character officers were in charge of the official position, and the chief clerk took the lead. Wen Chou and Zhou Lu invited Wen Chou to the main hall. The leading figures among the county officials were like Cao Cao officers, the well-educated scholars in the county school, etc., who accompanied him behind him. He called and hugged him, and Wen Chou walked to the main hall courtyard.
Wen Chou looked excited and said to the officials: "Dong Zhuo is a thief who is planning to rebel and rebel. He abolished the emperor without authorization, and killed the loyal and kind people in the court, which made the people in the world angry. Now I raised an army to the county, and I will not hide what I want from you, not only to establish my achievements, but also to eliminate harm to the world! You are all. Now Yuan Bohai, General Yuan and his brothers each hold troops, Ji, Jing, and gather the people of the two states, and look at Dong Zhuo, Zhang Mengzhuo, and Cao Mengde as they all met with the sour jujube, and held the green. Yan's soldiers forced Luoyang and Guandong coalition forces, more than one million! The heroes were fierce and fierce. The sea was raging, and the day when Dong Zhuo was destroyed was not far away! You all. Guixian is a famous county, and you are all heroic and talented. Although Yingchuan is only one county, it is not as weak as Ji, Jing, Qing, Yanzhou, and you have the same ambition as me, and I would like to make this achievement with you. If things are accomplished, then your reputation and power will be praised by the world. Even if you suffer a small setback, you can slowly seek it again with your prosperity. What do you think?"
The county officials in Yingchuan are almost all natives in Yingchuan. Yingchuan has now become the front line for defying Dong. They cannot leave like the prefect. They have to go and avoid it, so they can only face it. Therefore, when Wang Zhen, Zhou Lu and others warmly welcome Wen Chou's arrival, they did not object. When they needed to make a choice between Wen Chou and Kong Yichang, they were willing to choose Wen Chou, who had great military achievements, but these were just not opposed and willing. To be honest, they did not necessarily mean that they were eager.
After all, they have no friendship with Wen Chou, and the decisions they made are just out of reason and are not mixed with any feelings.
Now that Wen Chou has strong motivation, there is a quick-minded person who wants to say: "Yuan Benchu raises troops to attack Dong, and Guandong responds. A million people may be exaggerated. There are always 200,000 soldiers. It is true that Wen Jun said that even if he cannot win, he will not be defeated. Once he wins, wealth and honor are not enough! According to Wen Jun's opinion, he seems to be willing to make such contributions with us?"
All the officials had different thoughts, but they all bowed to the ground and said in unison: "I wish to make this contribution with the general!"
After Wen Chou's words, most of the county officials who were not very enthusiastic about Wen Chou changed their minds and even more recognized Wen Chou.
Wen Chou arrived in the hall, and Zhou Lu was the most respected in his position and asked him to take the main seat.
Wen Chou refused and said with a smile: "I am not a county magistrate, how can I sit on this seat?" He asked someone to take a new seat and put it on the west side. The west side is where the guests sit. As the force who came here to challenge the Dong, he regarded himself as a guest in this county government.
When all the officials saw his behavior, they all thought to themselves: "Mr. Wen brought tens of thousands of tigers to the county to compare with two thousand stones, but he was not arrogant or impatient, and was humble and obedient. This is the true wise master." Sometimes, some people who were not convinced Wen Chou were convinced by Wen Chou's heart.
Wen Chou didn't sit in the hall for long, but only talked to the officials for a while. The county officials in the county government were close to each other, and then left the hall, rejected Zhou Lu's suggestion to check in with him, left the county government, and walked around the homes of some famous noble men in the county, and returned to the camp before sunset.
Sitting in the main hall of the county government, moving into the back house of the county government, these are all useless "fair reputations". Wen Chou doesn't care. He attaches importance to "actuality". Although this trip to Yangdi County Government, the county was only one day, the results were good, and Wen Chou was very satisfied.
He thought to himself: "There are Lu Liang outside and Han Meng divided the town, and the secret alliance between me and Sun Jian inside, and Zhou Lu and others are interested in me. Today, this trip in my city has made many county officials and scholars willingly attached to me. Kong Yichang is no matter how famous and the people are, no matter how strong the people are, the times are, and people are like this. I think there is nothing to do when he enters Yingchuan. If he has no desire to compete with me, I respect him three points, but if he doesn't know the times, he has the idea of being at a high level with me, I will sooner or later make him surrender to me."
When Wen Chou returned to the camp, the army had just finished training and returned to the camp.
There is a saying: if you sharpen your guns in the face of battle, you will shine even if you don’t feel happy.
For so many soldiers under Wen Chou's tent, training is a habit. Taking advantage of this time, Wen Chou ordered all departments to step up training to prepare for the final call for Dong.
The two or three thousand new heroes of Yingchuan, Tian Chou, Zhao Yun, and others who had just joined the army, had been busy for a day and had compiled their divisions and handed them over to the leaders of each division. According to Wen Chou's order, they could rest for another day tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, they would start practicing.
The departments did not mention the training, and Wen Chou stayed in the camp overnight that night.
The next day, Han Meng and Lu Liang prepared their supplies, food and fodder, and prepared to set off to the county, north and south to express their wishes to Wen Chou. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
