The commotion of the prisoners was easily subsided the next day, so Gongsun Xun continued to stay by the Qishui River for a few days to supervise the burning of the corpses. He waited until the end of mid-June before moving to Yangzhai, and then saw him.

Lou Gui found Zaozhi and Xi Zhong for him.

After the two parties met, Gongsun Xun was naturally comforting, but Xi Zhong and Zao Zhi didn't play any tricks... because as Xi Zhicai said before, when the world-famous White Horse General led tens of thousands of troops

When countless famous generals and warriors arrived in front of them in such a mighty force, it was impossible for them to ignore the layers of aura surrounding their new lord.

Besides, Xi Zhong had already been punished by Lou Gui, and Zao Zhi was not the kind of person who would make trouble at all.

"Zao Wengong did his duty loyally and diligently, but he was stubborn and was not as good as Wang Shuzhi." After the two temporarily retired, Lou Zibo said to Gongsun Xun. "But he worked hard in the county after all.

Over the years, I can be regarded as a talent that can be trusted and directly used. Only Xi Zhong, although this person has some talents, is a typical high-minded person but short-handed. The so-called only pays lip service, and it would be too hasty to directly entrust him with business. "

Gongsun Xun was convinced of this, because it was basically consistent with the image of the two of them in his imagination, and he indeed made the decision to let Zao Zhi go directly to the military camp to help Wang Xiufenggong, but he treated Xi Zhicai as Lou Gui's deputy.

Then no assignment of tasks was given.

Something must be said here.

You know, in the story of Gongsun Auntie, those counselors are all extremely intelligent, as if they can decide the world's major issues with just one word. But Gongsun Xun, who has been in the officialdom for many years, has long known that both war and government affairs require practical action.

, and those who are truly capable also have job titles and experience. There are professional counselors who purely come up with ideas, but they are not the mainstream.

For example, Yan Zhong, who served under Huangfu Song, was most famous as a famous scholar in Liangzhou and a former Xindu Ling... It was because he lost his official position that he joined the imperial court and became a simple counselor; while Lu Fan and Lou Gui, who were beside Gongsun Xun,

In fact, he is a confidant, or a retainer.

And to be honest, Gongsun Xun could tell that Lou Zibo, a man who had thought of the Han Dynasty as a pill since he was a child, had no idea about official positions, but Lu Ziheng, who was in charge of the shogunate, was really looking forward to a serious official position, but

Due to my lord's career, I just hid my thoughts.

However, Gongsun Xun was able to detect the thoughts of his subordinates, but he did not notice his own behavior... I am afraid that even he himself did not realize that he arranged to play Zhicai in this way, which means that he often turned the talented people into professional advisers.

His behavior itself is a serious abnormal behavior influenced by his mother.

Because among the top counselors in history, those who make a living purely by planning are basically rare!

Take for example some of the most famous counselors in Yingchuan:

Xun Yu was a minister, and he actually presided over the government affairs of the country for decades, which was a job like that of a prime minister;

In the early days, Chen Qun served as a vassal of Xi Cao in Cao Cao's tent, and later became a military counselor. But soon after the establishment of the Wei State, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Censor Zhongcheng, and then also the Minister of Order, becoming the de facto prime minister;

As for Zhong Yao, he is a prime minister, a court lieutenant, a lieutenant, and a Taiwei. He has been a standard official and important minister since he was promoted to Guanzhong to help Cao Cao;

As for Guo Jia, he died early, but he was still the 'master of military law' and was responsible for military law;

The only special one seems to be Xun You. Xun Gongda basically gave Cao Cao advice throughout his life, and he had many military plans. He was considered a standard counselor, but even so, he once served as Shangshu Ling!

As for saying that Gongsun Xun had seen other people, such as Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others, using the word counselor to describe him, that is even more ridiculous!

In history, Cheng Yu has served as a general, prime minister, governor, general, minister, and minister, but he has never been a "strategist";

What about Dong Zhao? This man has successively served as the prefect of Wei County, the pastor of Jizhou, the pastor of Xuzhou, the minister, the official of Guanglu, the imperial servant, the Weiwei, and the Situ. He is simply a very human minister;

Jushou was even more straightforward. He was the Cavalry Commander under Han Fu, and Yuan Shao may have given him troops when he came, and later became General Fenwei. He was always a general who led troops independently;

Shen Pei is similar to Xun Yu. He is the general shogunate of Yuan Shao, the minister of Tuogu, and the de facto position of prime minister...

In short, the so-called counselors do not actually have this exclusive profession, at least it does not exist widely. More often, they are prime ministers, ministers, pastors, and generals who will advise the monarch. And because their daily work cannot be

Detailed records, and history books will only record the highlights of their wisdom, so later generations will collectively refer to them as counselors, and that's it.

Or to give another example... Is the historical image of Prince Wang Yun a counselor?

of course!

But at this time, he was the governor of Yuzhou in the Han Dynasty, a standard official of the Han Dynasty, with many talented people under his command, and he seemed to be a model monarch!

Even Gongsun Xun had to rush out of the city for ten miles three days after arriving in Yangzhai, and he also had to bring all the officials in the city and the army with a rank of more than 600 shi to greet him... Of course, Guan Yu was not easy to take, Gongsun Xun

He had the foresight and asked him to stay in the camp with Gongsun Yue.

That's right, Wang Yun is here!

The newly appointed governor of Yuzhou was extremely loyal to his duties. At this time, Runan was still in the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves, and the roads were full of thieves. But when he heard that the road between Lunshi, Yangcheng, and Yangzhai was open, he set off almost immediately.

He immediately started to inspect Yuzhou... You know, at this time, even the new decree from the court to Gongsun Xun had not yet been released!

But no matter what, when people come, they come.

Moreover, this was an important reason why Gongsun Xun had to rush to Yangdi quickly before. He had to reward Yangdi City's wealth before Wang Yun arrived... The political life of Yingchuan Wen's prefect was over.

He is a minister who treats crimes, but the governor Wang is not!

So, how could Gongsun Xun, who had divided someone else's wealth, not be so guilty as to attract a crowd to welcome him?

"Senior Brother Zi, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are really becoming more and more charming!" When he came to the pavilion outside the west gate of Yangzhai City, he saw the ceremonial guard of the Yuzhou Governor stopped dozens of steps away, and then the prince led his subordinates

After getting out of the car, Gongsun Xun quickly led the crowd forward.

"Wen Qi!" Wang Yun, who is already forty-eight years old and looks to be in his fifties, has turned a little white, but his energy is very good at this time. He walks forward, twirling his beard and laughing. "I am old and decrepit.

No matter how charming you are, how can you compare to you? In ten days, they swept through Dongjun, and then joined forces with the left and right Zhonglang to defeat a hundred thousand Yingchuan moth thieves. After the two wars, Luoyang's immediate danger has been over. It's true.

Turning the tide! And the fact that Zhao Zhong was whipped to death for extorting bribes from his slaves that day was also exciting to hear."

Gongsun Xun cupped his hands and smiled, looking very proud of himself, but in fact he was speechless... In the eyes of the governor Wang, killing an eunuch and asking for bribes to stand firm for his slaves was actually the same as those two.

For something as important as a battle, with such a gesture, Gongsun Xun really didn't know whether to complain about him or praise him?

"Wen Qi, come here, come with me to get to know my two officers." Both parties exchanged greetings. Gongsun Xun was about to introduce the two two thousand stones behind him according to official rules, namely Cao Cao and Cheng Pu, but unexpectedly Wang

Yun unexpectedly went out of his way and introduced his two businesses first.

Also strange!

Of course, as Wang Zishi spoke next, Gongsun Xun, Cao Cao behind him, Cheng Pu, Lou Gui who was watching coldly from behind, and Xi Zhong all suddenly realized what he was saying.

"Wen Qi, this is Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming, a famous scholar in Yingchuan and a great Confucian scholar in China. The Sixth Dragon among the Eight Dragons of the Xun Family is Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming!" Wang Yun pointed to an older man with gray hair behind him and said with a proud smile. "The Eight Dragons of the Xun Family.

Dragon, his kindness and wisdom are unparalleled. Everyone in the court wanted to capture our Mr. Six Dragons, but unexpectedly, I took the lead."

Gongsun Xun and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came forward to pay homage, calling themselves Mr. Liulong, which was considered a sufficient etiquette.

You must know that Xun Shuang is the sixth dragon among the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and is Xun Yu's uncle. Just as Xun Yu is the most outstanding among the Xun family's generation, Xun Shuang is also the most outstanding one among their generation.

.However, due to the imprisonment of the party, he used to live in seclusion in Hanbin all year round to study, and he was known as a scholar. He has not returned home for many years... As long as this kind of person wants to be an official, the position of public minister is readily available, and there is no way to use officialdom.

Treat others according to the rules.

In fact, after the party released him, the three officials and ministers in the court wanted to recruit him, but Xun Shuang did not accept it.

However, it is understandable that he is willing to accept a job now, because as far as he is concerned, after all, his hometown suffered a war disaster. Whether it is for the sake of his family or his hometown, he has no reason to refuse this job... At worst, this time

After the chaos is over, just resign and go home.

Unexpectedly, Xun Shuang, who was known as a scholar, turned out to be a cheerful and straightforward person, without any airs in his manners and words. Even in return, he held his hands and greeted him: "I have heard about the name of General White Horse for a long time. This time my hometown is saved, it is time to thank the general."

It is with you all who are the pillars of the imperial court."

After saying this, he actually took a few steps back and faced Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao behind him. Cheng Pu bowed and bowed, causing the three people to rush to help him in panic.

However, that's not all. After being helped up by Gongsun Xun, Xun Shuang turned around again, took two steps forward, and actually faced a pile of thousands of stones behind Gongsun Xun. The officers were more than a thousand stones, six hundred stones, and six hundred stones.

They bowed.

The quality of the officers varies. Some naturally know the details of the opponent, while others have no idea who this person is. But seeing that Gongsun Xun, Cao Cao, Cheng Pu, and the governor of Yuzhou are all so polite to this person, how can they dare to take the big shot?

?

As a result, there was a moment of panic in front of the pavilion, and many people hurriedly bowed in return, and Gongsun Xun and the other three naturally hurried to help him.

"Okay." Wang Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw this. "The weather is hot, and this pavilion is not a place to talk. Let's finish the ceremony quickly, and then go into the city to chat again." At this point, the prince pointed again.

"Wen Qi, Meng De, and this Xiaowei Cheng, who are not very old. Come and see, there is another person you must know here. He is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju of the state of Lu.

The twentieth generation grandson of the Holy Master!"

Cao Cao, Cheng Pu and others became increasingly speechless and hurriedly exchanged polite greetings with each other. Cao Mengde in particular was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he and Kong Rong had a good compatibility.

However, when Gongsun Xun heard this, he was suddenly startled, and then he sighed and shook his head at Kong Rong who was saluting him.

Kong Rong raised his head after saluting, and just in time to see this scene, his expression suddenly changed. Then, regardless of the many officials around him, he snorted coldly and turned his head away... It was because the other party was rude for a moment that he was unwilling to give in.

.

But what's interesting is that Wang Yun seemed to have expected this: "Wen Qi, you behave like this, could it be that you have already received a letter from the general?"

"What letter?" Gongsun Xun came back to his senses and was confused. "Although I have exchanged many letters with Brother Suigao, the war has been delayed these days, so there has been no exchange of letters."

"If it weren't for the general, why would you do this?" Wang Yun immediately frowned and asked. "And if it weren't for the general, why do you think Wenju was in my presence?"

Gongsun Xun was still confused, but he still tried his best to explain: "I don't know what went wrong between brother Wenju and brother Suigao, but the reason why I sighed and forgot my courtesy just now was because I saw Mr. Liulong first, and then unexpectedly met him.

When I came to see Brother Wenju, I suddenly thought of an old friend and was filled with emotion."

"Which old friend?" This time it was Wang Yun's turn to be confused. Even Cao Cao and Xun Shuang beside him were also curious, but Kong Rong still looked at him with a cold face.

"Since the party prison has been released today, I will not hide it from you." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "On that day, Mr. Yuanjie went to the fortress to avoid trouble. Fan has been living in my house outside the wall for more than ten years... In April, the party prison was released.

, I was in Luoyang, so I immediately wrote back to inform him and persuade him to return home. However, the war continued and the journey was long, so I didn’t know whether he had received the letter or whether he had left to return home, so I felt sad.

That’s all.”
