Chapter 1813 Press the gourd but pick up the ladle


    『Wang Zhongxuan, is there anything unusual? 』


    Now in Xu County, Xun Yu not only has to pay attention to the supply of food and grass on the front line, but also arranges spring plowing matters, and even needs to pay attention to whether Wang Can has any small actions. He is very busy.


    Xiahou Dun has already gone to Yangcheng to make some defensive preparations in advance. After all, no one can guarantee that the Hussar General will not do anything. If there is movement before thinking about making preparations, it may not be too late.


    Guo Jia has also been busy focusing on clearing up all kinds of idlers on the ground in Yuzhou during this period of time. He didn''t pay too much attention to it before, which caused these people with various purposes to pass through Yuzhou easily. After the Yuan Tan incident, these people who were originally Little people who thought they were harmless were also put on the stage of being targeted, especially in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, where checkpoints were set up for interception and inspection, which can be regarded as a kind of remedy.


    Because there is a model of "autonomous" territory like Taishan County, Cao Cao''s control over the subordinate counties has not been greatly improved. Except for the Yuzhou and Yanzhou areas that he directly controls, the rest, such as Qingzhou and Xuzhou, etc., basically The above are all entrusted to the local big clan for co-management. These "temporary workers" naturally sometimes have problems of one kind or another. Before, they turned a blind eye. Now after the Yuan Tan incident, Guo Jia naturally had a reason for accountability and suppression, so Guo Jia was basically not in Xu County during this period of time, and was patrolling in other places.


    Although people sometimes have strong mental strength, it does not mean that they can maintain it for a long time, so Xun Yu is somewhat tired now, but he is still holding on.


    『Wang Zhongxuan found Geng Jixing? Xun Yu was correcting the writing and listening, but after hearing such news, he couldn''t help but stop writing, looked up at the little official, and said, "What are you talking about?" 』


    The little official replied: "I don''t know... When the two of you are discussing, there are guards guarding outside, so you can''t get close..."


    Xun Yu frowned, nodded slightly to show he understood, and then let the little official back down.


    Obviously, there must be a problem with Wang Can and Geng Ji''s secret business, but Xun Yu can only guess about the specific problem, unless Geng Ji is arrested immediately...


    It is not impossible to accuse Geng Ji of some other crime, but this will definitely lead to panic, which is not very advisable. It is better to look again.


    Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Come on, please invite Ren and Yan to come..."


    …(ー`ー)…


    『I wonder if Xiongtai has heard of it? Kong Wenju wants to hold a literary conference in the suburbs of Nancheng? 』


    『Of course! This is our grand event! 』


    『Kong Wen held this essay meeting because he didn’t want the Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong to focus on the beauty of the front...』


    『This statement is wrong! How can there be a style of writing in the wild land of Kansai? Only Jiyu can be passed on for a hundred years! Where does the word "special beauty" come from? 』


    『Aha, aha...』


    『Someone wants to go to have a look, I don’t know everyone...』


    『Go together, go together! 』


    A group of people went there one after another, and met some other people on the road, and then when they arrived at the southern outskirts of the city, they found that there were already a lot of people gathered here. Those who chatted in groups of three or four became lively.


    Some invited brothel girls, laughing and sitting with Yan Yan in the crowd, became an eye-catching decoration, and many young gentry children surrounded them, like insects who have seen honey, buzzing It''s either showing off, arguing, or being courteous.


    Kong Rong sat at the Qushui Pavilion, and beside him were some literati on the ground in Yingchuan, admiring each other, and then commenting on the articles presented by some people, but he looked very contented.


    The literary meeting held by Kong Rong is not as formal as Qinglong Temple Dalun, and even has a daily agenda, and then there is a keynote speaker, etc. The literary meeting here is full of a relaxed, happy and casual atmosphere. Of course, under such an atmosphere, naturally there is no special person to give a speech. If there is anyone who wants to express himself, he will publish his "masterpiece", and then everyone will evaluate it. If he can get the appreciation of most people , Naturally, you can harvest a wave of prestige, which is very common, and it is also a common literary society model in Yuzhou.


    It seems a bit chaotic, but there is a kind of harmony in the chaos. The quarrels that appeared from time to time, and then there were a bunch of people watching the excitement, joining in the discussion, or simply watching with a cold eye, who didn''t care about anything and just talked and laughed in front of the young women in the brothel, which embellished the whole literary meeting with a lively atmosphere. Everyone can find their own foothold, and everyone can find their own happiness.


    Speaking of Wenhui, it often reminds people of pretending to be "beep" and slapping their faces, etc., but in fact, the Wenhui model like Kong Rong, sitting with Kong Rong is considered to be a relatively famous scholar of the noble family. I don’t see an article, and immediately slapped the case, amazed, and then shouted how amazing someone’s article was, and fell to the ground with a "plop" and knelt down under the pomegranate skirt of a guy who appeared out of nowhere Singing "I was conquered by you like this"...


    Even if the article is really good, at most you just smile, nod your head, and say "I don''t know who wrote it", and then after seeing who it is, judge it according to the distance of your own relationship. If there is some contact, marriage or something, it is natural to yell for help, but for outsiders who don''t know how to follow suit and have no relationship at all, they can only say "good" at most, and some even don''t even have a comment. will not give.


    The reason is very simple, or the two words "benefits".


    This person, including Kong Rong, didn''t just fall from the sky for nothing. They can form their current reputation. I don''t know how much manpower and material resources they and their family have put in, including their personal efforts. Under such circumstances, would he easily use such a hard-won reputation to recommend an outsider who he didn''t know at all, and who might have nothing to do with him now or in the future?


    What are you doing instead? Even Cao Cao back then could be regarded as a son of an official. When he arrived in Yingchuan and wanted to make a name for himself, Er Xu refused to speak up. He was forced to say something in desperation. The guy who can''t even touch it...


    To put it simply, it’s like those billboards and recommended places in later generations with clearly marked prices. If a random stranger says that the product is good, if you don’t pay a penny, you’ll have to sign up for it. If you want to get a place, someone will laugh. Hehe, it''s free for people to join?


    Therefore, the literary meeting held by Kong Rong was carried out very harmoniously. There was no guy who pushed his nose and eyes and insisted on approaching people to slap him in the face, nor did he become jealous because of a look or something, punching each other and punching each other. There seems to be a lot of love between them...


    『Wenju! Somebody is chatting! 』Xu You laughed, shouted from a distance, and then came forward with a wave.


    『Surprisingly, it is Ziyuan who has come, and it really is full of splendor! Kong Rong also came out from the pavilion to welcome him, "I thought Ziyuan had a heavy official business, so I didn''t dare to invite you, but I didn''t think that Ziyuan would condescend to come here, so I am very happy!" 』


    Xu You flicked his sleeves, with embarrassment on his face. Since the battle between Yuan and Cao, Xu You originally thought that he had won the treasure, and it should be the harvest season, but what he didn''t expect was that Cao Cao left him in Xu County, and then... there was no future, so what is there? Due to the busy business, the reason why I go to the Sikong government office every day is to remind Cao Aman?


    When I heard that Kong Rong was holding a literary conference here, I couldn''t help but thumped up, but the result was such a sentence on the face, and I didn''t know if Kong Rong was mocking himself, and suddenly I couldn''t shave my face.


    『Come on, everyone! Kong Rong waved his hand and greeted all around, "Everyone! Everyone! Xu Ziyuan is here! If Cao Gong hadn''t had Ziyuan''s good strategy, he wouldn''t have won today! Ziyuan has made great contributions! Come here, bring some wine, and on behalf of the children of Yuzhou, offer a toast to Ziyuan! 』


    Xu You realized that this Kong Rong was also an idler, so he naturally didn''t know whether he had something to do or nothing to do when he went to the Sikong Mansion every day, so it was not surprising that he had just said that, and now he is in front of everyone. Come to praise yourself, the original small unhappiness was thrown aside immediately, and a smiley face appeared again, raising the wine glass to signal to the surrounding...


    Kong Rong led the crowd around Xu You and entered the pavilion, "Brother Ziyuan, I heard that Mr. Cao was in danger at that time, so Ziyuan got a good plan to turn things around... We don''t know much about it, why don''t you tell me something about it?" 』


    Didn''t this just scratch Xu You''s itch?


    Xu You giggled, pretended to decline once or twice, and then stroked his beard in satisfaction under the "strong" request of everyone, and said the famous saying, "If Cao A can''t hide from someone, he can''t be in Jizhou either!" 』


    『Oh oh oh…』


    A group of people were either surprised or sighed, which gave Xu You great satisfaction.


    In Cao Cao''s Sikong Mansion, almost no one paid attention to him. Everyone seemed to have a lot of things to do, but he had nothing. When he told Xun Yu that his financial ability was good, he could help When Cao Cao solved some economic problems, he was pushed back by Xun Yu, who was neither soft nor hard. He said that these things are all appointed by Cao Cao, and he can''t make the decisions. It''s better to wait for Cao Cao to come back and make adjustments. Yunyun, attitude Moderate and well-founded, even if Xu You is angry, he can''t say anything...


    So even though Xu You went to Sikong Mansion almost every day, he never got any chance to show off. Now that he finally saw so many audiences, he suddenly became emotional and talked about his original situation, attracting onlookers The crowd burst into amazement...


    …o(*￣▽￣*)ブ…


    『Xu Ziyuan went to Wenhui? Xun Yu frowned, and asked again, "But what did you say?" 』


    The little official didn''t dare to speak, but just handed over the wooden tablet copied in his hand.


    Xun Yu took it, glanced at it, couldn''t help snorting, and slapped the wooden tablet on the table.


    Man Chong stood aside, waved his hand to let the little official go down, then frowned and asked: "But there are disrespectful words? 』


    Xun Yu nodded slightly.


    Man Chong said: "This person is very proud of his achievements and has a lot of arrogant words. He should be punished!" 』


    Xun Yu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It''s just a small matter, for now, let''s wait for the lord to turn around, and then we will find out...Wearing that Wang Zhongxuan wants to return, Bo Ning should pay more attention..."


    Xu You''s strange voice is not a matter of a day or two, not to mention that Xu You said that he met Cao Cao when he was a child, and it can be regarded as a friendship for many years. Yu Yue took the place of Zu to deal with this kind of matter, not to mention Xu You''s complaints and Wang Can''s preparation to leave Xu County, Wang Can was naturally more important.


    Man Chong cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate takes orders..."


    Wang Can is finally leaving now. For Xun Yu and others, it is undoubtedly like missing a hidden danger that does not know when it will erupt. It is an exciting thing. Of course, this will have to wait for Wang Can to completely It can be regarded as an end only when he finally leaves Yuzhou and returns to Guanzhong.


    At this stage, for Xun Yu and the others, it is natural to do everything possible to ensure that there will be no more monsters on Wang Can''s side...


    Two days later, Xun Yu, Man Chong and the others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and then watched Wang Can staggeringly leave Xu County with a group of people. They looked at each other, and couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    『This Wang Zhongxuan actually wanted to meet His Majesty when he was about to leave...』 Man Chong snorted through his nose, "It''s just wishful thinking..."


    Before Wang Can left, the two parties almost fell apart because of this incident.


    Wang Can said that if he wanted to leave Xu County, he had to bid farewell to Han Emperor Liu Xie, but how could Xun Yu and others make Wang Can get what he wanted? So Man Chong said that His Majesty was unwell, so if he had anything to say, he could convey it on his behalf, etc. But Wang Can still wanted to climb up the pole, saying that His Majesty was unwell, and as a courtier, he should be waiting on the sidelines. What, and then how could it be that such-and-such person acted nonchalantly and insensitively, and was so full of favor that the three corpses jumped violently, almost uncontrollable.


    Later, Xun Yu smoothed things over, saying that if Wang Can had something to say, he might as well put it on the table and he would definitely convey it. Your Majesty is not feeling well, and it is really inconvenient to meet foreign ministers. Leaving mellowly...


    Wang Can was very angry, and then wrote a sharp letter, threw it to Xun Yu, and then flatly rejected Xun Yu''s original **** Cao Jun''s team, and expressed his disdain to go with soldiers who disobeyed the emperor. , Anyway, he left Xu County cursing.


    Xun Yu threw Wang Can''s watch and badge away, then watched Wang Can go away, thoughtful.


    At the moment when the figures of Wang Can and his party disappeared far away, almost all the people present had a look of relief that they had finally sent the plague **** away, thinking that it was finally over, but in fact, it was just a prologue...
