Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 121 Recommending Tian Chou to Gongsun Zan

Liu Bian's frankness successfully moved Tian Chou's heart, but...

However, Tian Chou bowed to Liu Bian and said:

"Thank you very much, Liu Xiao... for your highness's appreciation. It's just that I have little talent, little qualifications, and severe homesickness. I'm afraid I won't be able to go south to Nanpi County for a visit."

Liu Bian: "..."

Blinking, Liu Bian never expected that Tian Chou actually refused!

Obviously just now Tian Chou had plans to lead his fellow villagers to move south?

"Yes, is it?"

Liu Bian gritted his teeth, maintained a generous smile, and silently thought for Tian Chou: relocation always requires careful consideration, and not many people would take this path unless it was absolutely necessary!What's more, although Wuzhong County was plundered by the Wuhuan Tuqi, it was not uninhabitable... Don't forget that not long ago, one hundred thousand Wuhuan Tuqi were defeated by Gongsun Zan and his army!
Thinking of this, Liu Bian wrote lightly: "I understand.

So, should Brother Tian Chou really choose the former? "

The "former" choice is: Brother Tian Chou recommends himself to General Gongsun Zan for the post of Wu Zhong County Magistrate...

Xu Shi realized that if he wanted to meet General Gongsun Zan, he would have to ask Liu Bian for a favor. Tian Chou's ears turned red and he chirped: "The former...can the former work?

Can I really do it? "

Um?Look at what Tian Chou said... "This king said, brother Tian Chou is quite talented, as long as brother Tian Chou is willing, this matter will happen." Liu Bian was disappointed and funny, and couldn't help comforting the other party, "Isn't brother Tian Chou good at fencing? ? He also led his fellow villagers to avoid the harm of Wuhuan's sudden cavalry, and devoted himself to protecting the old, weak, women and children. Isn't he qualified to take up the post of Wu Zhong County Magistrate?"

Tian Chou whispered: "Your Highness, how do you know that I am protecting old, weak, women and children? Have you seen it?"

Liu Bian almost choked and said with a straight face: "Don't pay attention to these details! This is not the point! The point is: Do you have the determination to protect Wuzhong County? Do you want to govern Wuzhong County well? Are you in Wuzhong County? Does it have a certain reputation?”

Tian Chou was stunned for a while, and said in a daze: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes! There are all of them!"

"Isn't that enough?" Liu Bian said lightly, "To sum up the above, why are you being so modest, Brother Tian Chou?"

Tian Chou: "..."

I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell the specific reason.

Tian Chou thought for a moment and then said, "I...I haven't reached the top yet."

Logically speaking, although the position of county magistrate is small, it requires a person with high moral character and respect to be qualified to hold it, right?

——Based on Tian Chou’s current age, Tian Chou is too young!

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and understood.

But can this make it difficult for Liu Bian?

--cannot!
Liu Bian said: "Brother Tian Chou, take a look at this king."

"Huh?" Tian Chou looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian said: "Do you know my age?"

Tian Chou shook his head.

Liu Biandao: "I am almost 13 years old."

Tian Chou: "..."

Liu Bian said again: "This king is almost 30 years old, and he was named the king of Bohai Sea, and he was also the prefect of Bohai Sea, but what about you, Brother Tian Chou? - You are about to reach the crown, but you are still white!
Now, you are finally going to serve as the county magistrate. Compared with me, you are far behind! "

Tian Chou: "..."

Tian Chou was defeated by Liu Bian's rebuttal.

After opening his mouth, Tian Chou bowed to Liu Bian again and saluted: "Your Highness! You are right! I am being narrow-minded!"

With his eyes bent, Liu Bian said, "Is that right? Let's go! Let's go after General Gongsun Zan!"

"Chase……?"

Tian Chou was stunned for a moment, and before he could finish speaking, he was dragged away by Liu Bian.

...Liu Bian brought Tian Chou and Cao Ang back to the eyes of the guards. Seeing that His Highness was refreshed, the guards wiped away the previous listlessness and said loudly: "It's getting late! We should set off! Otherwise we will We can’t catch up with General Gongsun’s team!”

The guards: "..."

The guards seemed to have a thousand words to say, but finally they all turned their attention to Cao Ang.

This guy Cao Ang has been following His Highness from the beginning to the end?Cao Ang must know best what His Highness is thinking.

Cao Ang...Cao Ang stood quietly behind Liu Bian without squinting his eyes, avoiding the eyes and greetings of the guards.Liu Bian waved his hand and urged:
"What are you still doing? - Tell your companions the good news right away?"

Liu Bian said to Tian Chou.

Tian Chou nodded stiffly, and then contacted the young and strong men who had been waiting in the corner for a long time.

I don’t know what Tian Chou said, but after seeing it, half of the young strong men expressed their longing for Tian Chou, but they stood there quietly and waved to Tian Chou... The remaining half The young and strong men followed Tian Chou back and returned to Liu Bian.

Without waiting for Liu Bian to ask, Tian Chou took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, these ten villagers are all my friends and are willing to escort Your Highness to Jixian."

It's said to be an escort, but it's actually Tian Chou's confidant?
Liu Bian thought to himself, and then he saw ten young and strong men clasping their fists towards him and saying in unison:
"Your Highness is well!"

By the way, ten young and strong men reported their names.

It's a pity that the names are too popular, and Liu Bian didn't remember any of them.

It does not matter.

The important thing is: Liu Bian pretended to remember, clapped his hands and said:
"—Are you leaving?"

As a result, Liu Bian rode on horseback and, protected and followed by the guards, chased the army ahead.

The army ahead was traveling extremely fast.

Liu Bian and his party hurriedly hurriedly followed, and it took them three days to catch up with them.

During this period, Liu Bian and Tian Chou understood each other's wishes through meetings from time to time:
Liu Bian repeatedly stated that he would recommend Tian Chou to Gongsun Zan to become the magistrate of Wuzhong County; and Tian Chou also learned that although Liu Bian was the eldest son of the Han Dynasty emperor, he was not taken seriously by His Majesty... At present, His Highness Liu Bian is in charge of Bohai County. , on the one hand, it is to stay away from the prosperous capital of Luoyang, of course, for self-protection; on the other hand, I heard that Bohai County is remote and its people live in poverty——

His Highness is both the King of Bohai and the prefect of Bohai, so he is determined to govern Bohai County so that the people of Bohai County can live a comfortable life... However, His Highness doesn't seem to realize that his words and deeds really have the qualifications of a wise king!
In time, if His Highness is determined to fight for the throne, his current strength may not be enough to compete with His Majesty... In addition, if Tian Chou can really serve as the magistrate of Wuzhong County, it will definitely be inseparable from His Highness's help. Therefore, Tian Chou will owe His Highness A kindness, which made Tian Chou also faintly reveal:

If everything comes to pass, Tian Chou himself and the entire Wujing County will be one of His Highness's backings.

--Great!

After hearing Tian Chou's promise, Liu Bian didn't care much on the surface, but in fact he was secretly happy: with Tian Chou's support, he could have planted a nail in Youzhou... Although this was sorry for General Gongsun Zan, he then thought:
Now Gongsun Zan is not the governor of Youzhou or the shepherd of Youzhou, so why is he apologizing?
Besides, he is the one who wants to cancel the "state pastoral appointment", but he just happens to be speculating with Tian Chou, and Tian Chou is only slightly close to him... Who does this bother?Who's in the way?
Liu Bian and Tian Chou, who shared their thoughts with each other, quickly established a friendship, which was something that all the guards did not expect, including Tian Chou's ten confidants.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bian and his party successfully met up with Gongsun Zan and others.

At that time, this long group of soldiers and horses were almost arriving in Jixian.

Therefore, Liu Bian seized the opportunity, took Tian Chou with him, took the opportunity to meet with Gongsun Zan, and introduced Tian Chou to Gongsun Zan, saying:
"General Gongsun Zan, I would like to recommend a talent for Wuzhong County! This person's surname is Tian, ​​his given name is Chou, he is good at fencing, has good knowledge, and is quite talented. He is the best candidate for Wuzhong County Magistrate! General, please agree!

Wuzhong County is very close to Guanzicheng, and has been harassed by Wuhuan's sudden cavalry, causing the people of Wuzhong County to suffer a lot!Fortunately, thanks to Brother Tian Chou's repeated command and dispatch, the people of Wuzhong County were saved from being killed by Wuhuan's sudden cavalry!
Avoid being hurt by Wuhuan!

Moreover, there is no county magistrate in Wuzhong County. Although this person is young, he is extremely loved by the people of Wuzhong County. Isn't this a clever idea?Then he thought of it and asked the general to help him! "

After the introduction, Gongsun Zan hadn't replied yet, which made Tian Chou blush.

Gongsun Zan saw this interestingly and said casually: "Since he is recommended by Your Highness, how can I refuse this general? If this person is really talented, how can he only serve as a small county magistrate? - I can write to the imperial court and grant him the title How about the governor of Beiping County?
Anyway, the post of governor of Youbeiping County is vacant..."

Gongsun Zan said the last sentence very quietly.

It is said that there are many Yi ethnic groups living in Youzhou, and in the counties and counties that favor the Yi ethnic group, their county guards and county magistrates often... often die in accidents. The more times they die, the more duties they are responsible for. The ground overlapped.

Usually the performance is as follows: if one party has a county magistrate, then the county is that county, and everything is managed by the county magistrate.

vice versa.

In short, in Youzhou, the county magistrate and county guard are often vacant.

Therefore, in Gongsun Zan's eyes, the county magistrate and the county governor are almost the same, so he might as well appoint Tian Chou as the county governor... Gongsun Zan is quite happy to sell His Highness a favor.

But these words made Liu Bian and Tian Chou stare in disbelief:

Not the county magistrate, but the sheriff? !
Is this, this, this... fake? !
