Han Dao world

Chapter 457 Dilemma
Xun Yu's smile remained unchanged. "Mr. Zhang, the recruits Jia Xu recruited are not simple teachers, but generals in the army. They will join the army in the future. Recruiting students in Liangzhou is just for convenience, not deliberately crowding out the Kanto people. If Mr. Zhang has a suitable candidate , you sign up for me, and I am willing to be a recommender."

"really?"

"How dare you speak falsely in front of Mr. Zhang." Xun Yu smiled all over his face. "As long as they can bear hardships, even if their martial arts are slightly inferior, it's okay. Do you know Huang Yi?"

Zhang Xi thought about it. "That young man from the Huang family in Jiangxia married Yuan Shu's daughter?"

"It's him. After he arrived, he went to Hanyang with Yang Xiu to practice martial arts every day. After hearing the emperor's edict, he rushed to the imperial camp to apply and was successfully selected. Yuan Shu's son-in-law can be selected, and Zhang Gong's disciple Of course it's fine."

Zhang Xi frowned slightly, and after a while, he sneered: "Jiangxia Huang's disciples worship Jia Xu as their teacher, Huang Wan's coffin may not be able to hold it down."

Xun Yu pretended not to hear.

When he received the report from the residence, he knew that Zhang Xi would have an opinion, but he didn't expect how fierce Zhang Xi's reaction would be.

The reason is also very simple. The Son of Heaven is not recruiting ordinary scholars this time, just to teach soldiers to read, but scholars who are proficient in martial arts and want to fight with the army.Of course there are students in Kanto who are both civil and military, but how many of them can share joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers in the barracks?
At least there are not many disciples among Zhang Xi.

Even the scholars who were recruited to be teachers in the army at the beginning couldn't find a way out, so they had to wander with the emperor and suffered a lot.If he can work as a teacher in the army and earn a salary, he can at least support his family, so he happily obeys.

As long as there are other opportunities, these people are unlikely to be willing to stay in the barracks and teach a group of rough men how to read.

The same is true for Huang Yi, if he is not Yuan Shu's son-in-law, his future is basically hopeless, you see if he is willing to endure that hardship.

Zhang Xi is Sikong, he can dismiss his disciples as officials, and there are many opportunities to become officials, how many are willing to join the army?He didn't want to go, and he didn't want others to have a chance. This was the root cause of Zhang Xi's unknown anger.

Xun Yu didn't take it seriously, but Zhang Xi was a senior, so he had to save face.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the situation in Taiyuan? You are back, who is in charge of Taiyuan's government affairs?"

Zhang Xi glanced at Xun Yu. "You should ask Situ about this, or ask the Marquis of the Northern Army. I'm an idler, and it's useless if I don't ask questions."

Xun Yu's face remained unchanged. "Mr. Zhang doesn't have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Zhang Xi bowed his body and lowered his voice. "Wen Ruo, I have an idea, but I don't know how to say it?"

"What is Mr. Zhang's opinion?"

"You said Yuan Shao will be more sober after being frustrated?"

Xun Yu's eyelids trembled slightly, and he pondered for a long time. "Mr. Zhang might as well give it a try, maybe you can find your way back when you get lost."

"Wen Ruo also thinks it's feasible?"

The corner of Xun Yu's mouth twitched slightly. "The world has been in chaos for so long, if the soldiers can be eliminated as soon as possible, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is worth a try."

"Can the emperor agree?"

"As long as Yuan Shao has self-knowledge and is not greedy, I think the emperor will not refuse."

Zhang Xi moved closer, staring at Xun Yu's eyes without blinking. "Then what kind of conditions are greedy?"

Xun Yu laughed silently. "Mr. Zhang, Yuan Shu is now the shepherd of Yangzhou. If Yuan Shao is willing to surrender, he will not be worse than Yuan Shu. However, I suspect that he is not as free and easy as Yuan Shu, and he is reluctant to bear the benefits in front of him."

Zhang Xi sat up straight again, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Obviously, Xun Yu did not support his idea, and he was unwilling to give Yuan Shao the opportunity to assist the government.Let Yuan Shao be a state shepherd like Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao will definitely not agree.He has already occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and most of Yuzhou, how could he spit it out again, willing to be a Jizhou shepherd.

What's more, the imperial court now only recognizes the prefect of Bohai Sea, which is like a humiliation.

Zhang Xi didn't mention this matter again, instead he talked about Xun You's great victory.

Taiyuan is adjacent to Yanmen, and the news of Danhan Mountain's victory soon spread to Taiyuan County. Everyone was very excited, and Zhang Xi was the most excited.

Xun You was ordered to supervise the three counties and was the main general in this battle.Although Zang Hong, the prefect of Yanmen, only had [-] riders, he was the first one. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who each had [-] riders, were only second.This is enough to show that the Kanto people are also good at fighting and can become famous generals.Although Zhang Xi has no military knowledge, he is also happy about it.

To say it's a pity, it's that I couldn't cut through the roots.But Ke Bineng, a rising star who subdued the Xianbei people, is not bad.

Zhang Xi waited hopefully for the court's reward, but after seeing the emperor's edict to Han Sui to pacify Song Jian, his heart sank.

It took such a great contribution to pacify Song Jian to become a Marquis, and Xun You's great victory in Danhanshan was even less hopeful.Although the edict has not yet come down, the upper limit has already been set there, at best it is only one prince, and it is more likely that it is Xun You.

The Xun family is deeply bound to the emperor, and it is expected to be a marquis.Whether Zang Hong can be a Marquis is what Zhang Xi cares most about.

Therefore, Zhang Xi believes that the emperor's belittling of Han Sui's military exploits may suppress the Guandong people.

"Gongda and Ziyuan are great victories, how will the imperial court reward them?"

Xun Yu shook his head. "How to confer rewards is a matter for the imperial court, and the discussion is also for the Sangong to participate in the discussion. I am only the Yin of Hedong, and I have no right to comment. Besides, Gongda is a member of my clan, so I should avoid suspicion. If Zhang Gong has any objections, why not directly write a letter?"

"The emperor hasn't issued an edict yet, how can I write a letter?" Zhang Xi said angrily. "Besides, even if I want to write a letter, I can discuss it with you first. Isn't this taboo? Although I have shallow morals and low abilities, I have been an official for half my life. I still understand this rule."

Seeing that Zhang Xi was angry, Xun Yu quickly accompanied him.

"Mr. Zhang, the emperor postponed his trip in Meiji just to see Ziyuan. How could he reward Ziyuan so little? It's just that Ziyuan only had [-] riders for this expedition, while Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each had [-] riders. Arrangement is easy to criticize. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both Lv Bu's former subordinates, and doing so will easily dissatisfy the people of Bingzhou. Gongda's handling this time is very inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xi disagreed. "Ziyuan arrived first when he was far away, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun arrived later, which is enough to explain the advantages and disadvantages."

Xun Yu smiled wryly. "Mr. Zhang, I am not worried that the emperor will not reward Ziyuan, but I am worried that the emperor will reward Ziyuan."

"Why?"

"If Ziyuan wins a great reward, he will be grateful to the emperor for his attention, and he will repay it. When he leads the troops eastward in the future, he may be the vanguard again."

The corners of Zhang Xi's mouth twitched, and the pride in his eyes instantly turned into embarrassment.

Zang Hong and Yuan Shao turned against each other, and they would rather die than surrender when they occupied Dongjun.Later, due to lack of strength, he accepted the emperor's edict, gave up Dongjun, and returned to the court.If he has strength, such as Wanqi like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, will he fight Yuan Shao immediately?

This is the Kanto people beating the Kanto people, and it was the rebels who counterattacked and slapped them in the face properly.

Zhang Xisheng has nothing to love.
