The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 140 Gu Yong
The stragglers are really vulnerable.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was in a state of defeat, Qin Fan hastily summoned a phoenix guard: "Go down and pass on my order, just repel the Yellow Turban Army, don't chase the poor."

"Here!"

Feng Wei took the order and left.

Not long after, Xu Chu, Wang Yue, Aunt Qing's sixteen phoenix guards, and thirty iron guards all went up to the top of the mountain unscathed.

"Master, the Yellow Turban Army has retreated."

Wang Yue clasped his fists and said.

Thinking of being surrounded by Dong Zhuo's nearly ten thousand army, Wang Yue could also fight his way out, Qin Fan doubted that the nearly thousand yellow scarf army might not be Wang Yue's opponent alone.

Qin Fan encouraged the crowd, and then he saw Xu Chu stepping forward and said, "Prefect Qin, your subordinates are really powerful, I'm afraid I can't beat five of them. I have never seen such a powerful person."

Qin Fan: "."

Elder Xu stepped forward and slapped him, reprimanded him, and said embarrassingly: "Grandson is ignorant, I hope Prefect Qin will not take offense."

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Zhongkang's uprightness suits Qin Fan's wishes, why would Qin Fan blame him?"

Xu Chu scratched his head, and Elder Xu also heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Fan glanced around and said loudly: "The Yellow Turban is newly defeated, so they probably won't attack for the time being, why don't we go now?"

Qin Fan finally cast his eyes on Mr. Xu.

Elder Xu glanced at the village behind him with nostalgia, then turned his head and bowed deeply to Qin Fan, "So, I, Xu Family Village, will entrust Qin Taishou."

Only then did Qin Fan heave a sigh of relief.

Immediately tidy up, a group of people dragged their families to Lujiang County.

The migration of thousands of people is far more troublesome than Qin Fan imagined.

In order to prevent accidents, Qin Fan and Xu Chu found a hundred strong men from all the people in Xujia Village to maintain order and protect everyone's safety.

Food, drink and housing were difficult along the way. Although all the villagers in Xujia Village had brought food, they were eaten up in less than half a month.

Qin Fan had no choice but to spend money to buy it. Fortunately, he was far away from Chang'an, and he entered Yangzhou after a month or so, and the population became more and more dense.If you have money, you can buy food, and this solves the problem of eating and drinking.

Traveling day and night, although there were many troubles on the road, under the threat of imperial decree and force, it was considered safe.

Of course, the most important point is that Qin Fan is completely famous at this time.

After killing Dong Zhuo, before he knew it, his name had spread all over the country, and the prefects in various places heard that it was him, not to mention the food and drink, and even sent troops to escort him to the next place.

As for the little thieves who appeared, they were easily dealt with by the guards.

AD [-], late September.

Qin Fan, who had been running around for more than half a year, finally arrived at Lujiang County again.

Although he hadn't taken over the position of prefect at this time, he was completely relieved when he reached the familiar territory.

"Finally back, everyone rest."

Qin Fan found the local county magistrate with an imperial decree and asked him to prepare a place for everyone to live.

After resting there for two days, Qin Fan started his journey.

Before setting off, Xu Chu found Qin Fan and said that he wanted to use this place as a place to stay, that is, Qian County.

Qin Fan asked strangely: "Wan County will arrive soon, why don't they go to Wan County?"

"It's the same wherever you go."

Xu Chu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Besides, there are a lot of empty places here, and it is convenient for the folks to live here."

The county magistrate next to him also said: "That's right, Prefect Qin, this county is empty and sparsely populated, let them stay."

After staying here for two days, Qin Fan also knew that because of the border with Yuzhou and the ravages of the Yellow Turban Army, the population of this place has been greatly reduced.

Furthermore, even if they went to Wan County, Qin Fan didn't know how to arrange it for a while, so he nodded and said, "Well, you must properly arrange them. Don't neglect them."

The county magistrate repeatedly agreed, and Qin Fan took out a lot of silver from the princess' dowry as the expenses of settling down.Just left Qian County.

Xu Chu naturally followed Qin Fan to Wan County.

After arriving in Wan County, Qin Fan asked Wang Yue to escort Da Qiao and others back first.He took Xu Chu to Shu County, Lin County.

Shu County is the seat of Lujiang County, where Qin Fan has to take over, and of course more importantly, there are Gu Yuantan and Gu Yong whom Qin Fan knows.

When he came back this time, what Qin Fan most wanted to find was this person.

"My lord, what are we going to Shu County for?" Xu Chu asked as he rode behind Qin Fan.

"Shu County is the seat of Lujiang County, where we will work in the future."

Qin Fan explained to him: "I just came back, and now I have to go to the prefect to be transferred."

Xu Chu scratched his head and smiled foolishly, he didn't understand these things.

"Don't say you don't understand, actually I don't understand either," Qin Fan shrugged, "It's the first time that I'm an official, I'm a big girl going to Huaqiao."

Xu Chu laughed out loud.

Qin Fan shook his head. In fact, he really didn't understand. Before in Shu County, he thought that Gu Yong had the highest official position, but later he realized that Shu County is a county seat, not only has a county magistrate, but also a prefect with a higher official position.

It's just that Qin Fan didn't see it.

The two rushed all the way to Shu County, and rode their war horses to the door of Gu Yong's house.

The door was closed, Qin Fan jumped off the horse and knocked on the door.

"you are?"

The door opened, revealing the head of a servant, staring at him suspiciously.

"Is Magistrate Gu here?" Qin Fan asked with a smile.

"My lord is here, what do you need from him?"

"You and your county magistrate Gu will inform each other, and tell me that I'm looking for him."

"You wait."

Seeing Qin Fan's extraordinary demeanor, the servant didn't dare to hesitate, and went quickly.

After a while, a person came out in a hurry, bowed his head and bowed, "See Marquis Qin for your humble position."

Qin Fan stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "How does County Magistrate Gu know that I have become the prefect of Lujiang County?"

Gu Yong said happily: "It was Li Taishou who said it. I thought he was bluffing me. I never thought that Marquis Qin would really come."

"Prefect Li?"

Qin Fan questioned: "But the Lujiang prefect?"

"Exactly." Gu Yong explained: "He has gone to Jingzhou three days ago. Recently, everything in the county has been taken care of by me temporarily."

As he spoke, he raised his head, "Qin Hou doesn't know these things?"

Qin Fan smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, after Bandit Dong asked me to come back, why would I want to ask these questions, I just came back."

Gu Yong took a peek outside, turned sideways and said, "Qin Hou, please."

Seeing the tall and burly Xu Chu behind Qin Fan, he asked in surprise, "Who is this strong man?"

"My name is Xu Chu, but County Magistrate Gu can call me Zhongkang." Xu Chu said naively.

"It turned out to be Zhuangshi Xu. It's a pleasure to meet you." Gu Yong bowed with his fists in his hands.

Xu Chu scratched his head and smiled silly.

Sit down in the lobby,

Qin Fan took out the imperial decree, and then took out the official seal and appointment documents.

Gu Yong didn't look at it either, but said: "The Marquis of Qin is the hero of the country by punishing Thief Dong. I have the Marquis of Qin as the prefect in Jiujiang County, which is gratifying and congratulatory."
