Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 246 Chapter 244, Nanyang Wenpin is actually guarding the door?

Both Chen Yuan and Deng Xilong are making their own preparations, it just depends on who can come out on top.

The next day, Chen Yuan summoned the Nanyang tyrants headed by Deng Xilong.

If it was the past, Deng Xilong and the others would never talk to Chen Yuan.

Just kidding, it is usually officials who come to visit them. They have never been called by officials like this, and they have been called.

However, today is different.

The official position of state shepherd is really the emperor of one side, with terrifying power.

In the past, the prefect was regarded as the apex of the local officials, and he was about to go to the center when he went up.

Now, there is an extra state shepherd's house between the central and local governments.

This is different.

Deng Xilong and the others can show no pretense to the prefect, but the State Shepherd's Mansion can't.

The strength of the State Shepherd's Mansion is much stronger than that of the Prefect's Mansion.

In the seven counties of Jingzhou, there are millions of people under their control, and there are tens of thousands of armored people. If it is not a last resort, Deng Xilong does not want to offend too much.

Therefore, Deng Xilong and the others all said that they would come as promised.

Chen Yuan did not summon them in any restaurant.

He just wants to stay in the prefect's mansion without showing any affection.

It is public to public, and there is no personal relationship.

Because if there is a personal relationship, with such a complicated relationship like Haoqiang, Nanyang Haoqiang might be able to develop some kind of relationship with Chen Yuan.

Harm, don't think this is a joke.

You know, Chen Yuan is not only a child of the Chen family in Yingchuan, but also Cai Yong's son-in-law.

Cai Yong himself has a wife, and a daughter, so if he turns around like this, he will probably be able to establish a relationship.

At that time, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Therefore, Chen Yuan summoned them in the prefect's mansion, which directly eliminated the possibility of such a relationship.

Deng Xilong and the others did think of this, and they also found related people.

Originally, they wanted to suppress Chen Yuan in terms of seniority, but when they heard that Chen Yuan was summoned at the prefect's mansion, they knew that their trick was useless.

In the official office, as long as the officials are determined and selfless, there is no personal affair to talk about.

However, they didn't pay much attention to it.

This is nothing more than a free move, it would be better to make Chen Yuan disgusting, but it's okay if he doesn't.

On this day, outside the prefect's mansion, there were many horses and horses, bustling with people, and all the families from Nanyang arrived as promised.

No one thought about not coming, after all, these people are all officials.

The Shangguan summoned them, if they didn't come, then Chen Yuan would use an excuse to remove their official positions.

Although this official position may not seem to be of much use on weekdays, it is one of the foundations of a powerful family.

If there is no one in a powerful family who has become a prefect of a county for three consecutive generations, then this powerful family will probably decline and become a family of small and medium-sized landlords, which cannot be called a powerful family.

Because, only when you become an official, you have the capital to divide your interests.

Without an official position, it is impossible to help the family and others to seek more benefits.

In this way, they will gradually leave the officialdom, and if they leave the officialdom, they will also break away from the mainstream, and their decline is inevitable.

Because no one else will play with you again.

An official position is an entry ticket to the powerful game field. Without this entry ticket, one will not be eligible to enter the game field of slaughtering the world.

Therefore, the tyrants still value the status of officials very much, and they will definitely not lose it just because of a moment of anger.

Besides, these tyrants are already treacherous and cunning, since Chen Yuan wants to summon them, then they will give him a face, praise him first, and see the momentum before talking.

As long as Chen Yuan doesn't touch their interests, say something nice, and do something nice, it will be beneficial without cost.

Deng Xilong was the last to arrive, and it wasn't because Deng Xilong was putting on airs. The Deng family didn't need to use such low-end means to show their status. If they really did that, it would make the Deng family feel petty.

The reason why Deng Xilong came late was because he went to invite He Miao.

He Miao didn't want to come, how could he, Henan Yin, have any reason to take the initiative to go to Jingzhou.

Therefore, it took Deng Xilong a long time to persuade He Miao to come with him.

However, He Miao's face was still not very good-looking, and he got off the carriage angrily, and was about to break into the prefect's mansion with his head held high.

Seeing He Miao's recklessness, Deng Xilong not only didn't stop him, but watched with leisure.

I hope the guards in the prefect's mansion are tough enough to stop this He Miao.

In this way, He Miao and Chen Yuan would have a conflict first, and then there would be a good show.

Deng Xilong was not disappointed, the guards of the prefect's mansion were all soldiers brought out by Qin Jie.

Qin Jie's temper was rigid, and these soldiers were also extremely rigid after being taught by Qin Jie.

If you see someone and don't report his name, you will rush to the prefect's mansion. How can these two people tolerate him.

However, these two people were also deeply taught by Qin Jie on weekdays, and they were not reckless and rude people.

The two stopped He Miao, then bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, wait a minute. No matter how noble your Majesty is, it is rude to join without signing up. Is it possible that such an honorable Majesty will do something rude?"

He Miao was choked immediately.

What the guard said was reasonable, and his attitude was very respectful, but he held himself back.

It was very lively outside the gate of the prefect's mansion today, there were many people, if he still broke in without hesitation, then a reputation for rudeness would be spread.

We have already said before, how much this era values ​​reputation.

If He Miao really bears the name of being rude, even if he is Empress He's younger brother, he will be in trouble in the future.

What's more, He Miao still has great ambitions in his heart. He wants to replace He Jin as a general. Dare I ask if there are rude generals in the world?

But if he said his name, there would be gossip about Henan Yin visiting Chen Junshi after today.

In this way, this is not the achievement of Chen Yuan's reputation.

He Miao regretted his recklessness at this time.

I shouldn't break in directly, but should follow Deng Xilong into the prefect's mansion, and there is a lot of turning point in this.

For a while, He Miao was in a dilemma.

Seeing this scene, Deng Xilong couldn't help feeling a little pity.

However, he couldn't let He Miao be embarrassed for too long. After a long time, He Miao would inevitably turn his anger on him.

Because he was the one who persuaded He Miao to come, if he was watching the play from the sidelines at this time, He Miao would definitely take his anger out on him.

Therefore, Deng Xilong stood up and said to the guards: "This is Yin He Miao He Gong from Henan Province. This time he returned to his hometown to sweep the tomb. I heard that Chen Biejia came to Nanyang. He came here to meet you. Hurry up and let him go!"

Deng Xilong, as the magistrate of Nanyang County, naturally knew the guards of the prefect's mansion.

Hearing what Deng Xilong said, the guard bowed and said: "Please forgive me, Mr. He. I'm sorry for my ignorance. I don't know Mr. He in person. Please hurry up, Mr. He."

As he spoke, the man moved his body aside.

He Miao snorted coldly, didn't say much, and went to the prefect's mansion first.

Deng Xilong looked at the guard with a smile: "Your Excellency speaks well, neither humble nor overbearing, dare to ask your name?"

Deng Xilong, as the head of the Nanyang Deng family and the head of Nanyang's mighty powers, is naturally not incompetent.

At this moment, he could already see how extraordinary the guard was.

Not only is his speech neither humble nor overbearing, but he also acts calmly and moderately.

Looking at his tall stature and sharp eyes, he is by no means an ordinary person.

Deng Xilong couldn't help but love talents.

It stands to reason that Deng Xilong, as the county magistrate, naturally came to the prefect's mansion to act.

Naturally, he should have a reflection as the guard of the prefect's mansion.

But the guard in front of him made him feel very unfamiliar.

The guards still respectfully and politely said to Deng Xilong: "The prime minister has won the prize, and Wen Zhongye is hired as Wen Zhongye in Xiananyang, but he is only a small child."

Good guy, good guy!
Wenpin, whom Chen Yuan couldn't find so hard, was actually here, guarding the gate of the prefect's mansion.

It's no wonder that Chen Yuan couldn't find him, because there are almost no records of Wenpin's first half of his life.

As soon as Wenpin appeared on the stage, he guarded Jingbei for Liu Biao, that is, the Xinye area of ​​Nanyang.

As for Wenpin's previous resume, there is no detailed record.

Therefore, it was normal for Chen Yuan not to be able to find him.

Originally, Chen Yuan searched for Wenpin with the idea that a great talent like Wenpin must have a good reputation in the local area, but he couldn't find it here, and many people had never heard of Wenpin.

This once made Chen Yuan wonder whether Wenpin traveled all over the world when he was young.

If Chen Yuan knew that Wenpin was actually guarding the gate of the prefect's mansion, he would definitely ask for Wenpin from Qin Jie without saying a word.

There is a candidate for Jiangxia prefect or Jiangxia county lieutenant.

The current Jiangxia prefect and county lieutenant are Lu Kang and Huang Gai.

These two people are not bad, since they went to Jiangxia, Jiangxia Huang has restrained a lot.

However, in comparison, Wenpin is reassuring.

Wenpin in history was able to guard Jiangbei for decades, and he was definitely the kind of person with both civil and military skills.

Putting this kind of person in Jiangxia, the Jiangxia Huang family can't worry about it.

As for Lu Kang, it's better for the old man to get back to the academy to teach as soon as possible.

Huang Gai also has other uses.

Deng Xilong nodded: "I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, and behave in a polite manner. It's too wronged to be a janitor. Do you need me to recommend you to the Fujun? With your ability, you can at least be a school lieutenant."

This is Deng Xilong's bragging, and he is also trying to win over Wenpin.

In the current Nanyang military, Deng Xilong has no right to speak at all.

Qin Jie and Wei Yan put Nanyang's [-] county soldiers into an iron bucket, and Nanyang's tyrants couldn't get in at all.

The reason is very simple. The soldiers Qin Jie recruited at the beginning were recruited from some poor families, which was different from the previous imperial conscripts.

In the past, the imperial conscripts were all selected from good families.

What is a good family.

Refers to those who join the army and are not in the seven disciplines, or are not the children of doctors, witches, merchants, and hundreds of craftsmen, they are good family sons.

The latter is easy to understand, so what is Qike exile?

Like the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also had "relegation".

The most famous one is the so-called "Seven Branches", that is, criminal officials regarded as pariahs by social customs, fugitives, sons-in-law who went to a woman's family, businessmen, those who originally had city registration (businessman's household registration), and those who had city registration. The children and grandchildren of the registered holders.

Apart from these people, they are sons of good families.

Dong Zhuo was from a good family.

However, many of these soldiers recruited by Qin Jie were not from good families, and many were from low-ranking families.

The reason is also very simple, because many people in Nanyang Liangjiazi do not want to join the army, and many of them are attached to Nanyang Haoqiangjiazi.

Qin Jie had no choice but to recruit some lowly people.

Facts have proved that after Qin Jie gave them the promise of turning them into good ones once they have achieved military exploits, these people of humble origins are very effective in combat.

Before Liu Bei's assistance, he successfully resisted the attack of tens of thousands of yellow scarves in Nanyang.

This also caused a result, that is, Nanyang Haoqiang has almost no influence on these people.

Because Deng Xilong couldn't keep the promise Qin Jie made.

The reason why Deng Xilong wins over Wenpin is because he can see that Wenpin is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely achieve something in the future.

Another is to see if a nail can be inserted into the prefect's mansion or the Nanyang County soldiers to pry open the iron barrel of the Nanyang County soldiers.

The five thousand Nanyang soldiers were always a sword on the head of Nanyang Haoqiang, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

What makes them uncomfortable is not the five thousand soldiers, but the fact that they have no influence over the five thousand soldiers.

This is what makes them most uncomfortable.

In the past, how could this be the case.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were no county soldiers in Nanyang.

Not only is there no Nanyang, but most counties and counties in the world do not have any county soldiers or county soldiers.

In addition to the tens of thousands of central troops in the entire Eastern Han court, the rest is the standing army in the border areas.

The great thing about other counties is that there are some law and order personnel like police officers, but there is no military force.

This situation also gave local tyrants unscrupulous convenience.

The local government does not have enough military power, and the powerful families all have their own parts.

Therefore, sometimes the local government has to rely on the power of the powerful to do some things. The use is not in vain, and it is all in exchange for benefits.

However, this situation has changed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and local counties began to recruit a large number of troops.

In fact, this situation is very beneficial to the local tyrants, because they can take this opportunity to blatantly form military forces.

But here in Nanyang is a bit special.

Because Qin Jie is a little too capable, and with Liu Bei's support later, Nanyang Haoqiang certainly took this opportunity to expand the series, but the Nanyang Prefect's Mansion grew faster than them.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, Nanyang County could even have [-] strong soldiers in one fell swoop if it weren't for the food and grass.

Such a military force is enough to suppress the entire Nanyang.

Fortunately, Deng Xilong and the others dragged their feet in various ways, and finally the food in the prefect's mansion was not enough, so Qin Jie had to disband most of the county soldiers, so that Nanyang Haoqiang could eat [-] county soldiers at one bite, and strengthened his own strength.

The remaining 1 yuan is not because they can't eat it, but because they feel that their current strength is enough, and any more will be a waste.

But even so, Deng Xilong and the others still wanted to control the five thousand Nanyang soldiers.

After all, this is a regular military force, which is different from theirs.

Regarding Deng Xilong's wooing, Wen Pin was not surprised: "Thank you for your kindness, the Prime Minister. Pin still thinks that relying on military merits is the most reliable way to get a position. Therefore, I have failed the Prime Minister's kindness, and I ask the Prime Minister to forgive me."
