The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 141

Qin Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to say more about flattery, and I don't understand the affairs of governing the people. This time I came here to discuss with you."

"Qin Hou wait a moment."

Gu Yong got up, went to the back of the case and walked out with a stack of bamboo slips in his arms, "Here is the employment status of the various officials in our county, Qin Hou can take a look at it."

"Don't look at it,"

Qin Fan stared at Gu Yong and said, "Now the Han Dynasty has already been in chaos. Since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, the princes from all over the country have supported themselves, and the Han Dynasty has existed in name only. I don't know what Yuan Tan thinks I, the county guard, should do. Can we keep the peace under the rule?"

Gu Yong stared blankly at Qin Fan, and then sighed: "Qin Hou has a good opinion. The troubled times have come, and there are only two ways for us to keep safe."

Qin Fan picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Firstly, in the troubled times, you can get a wise master to vote for; secondly, the Marquis of Qin can use the banner of a son-in-law to recruit troops and buy horses, and wait and see the changes."

This Gu Yuantan did have two tricks, Qin Fan sighed inwardly, the more important thing is that this person does not play tricks on you.

This made Qin Fan very satisfied.

People lead me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity. This is Qin Fan's principle of life.

"I'm just a prefect of a county right now, and I don't have any deep background. It's kind of a joke to say that I want to fight for hegemony. But I don't want to rely on anyone. Yuan Tan, how do you think I should deal with myself?"

Gu Yong frowned, stroked his beard and said, "Lujiang County will be the place of the Four Wars in the future. Liu Biao is in the west, Yuan Shu is in the north, Sun Ce is in the east, and Liu Xun is in the south. It’s not a place to stay.”

"Sun Ce?"

Qin Fan interrupted him, "Where is Sun Jian?"

Gu Yong sighed: "Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao's troops, Huang Zu, and his subordinates used Sun Ce to go to Wu County."

Qin Fan thought to himself, this Sun Ce and himself are actually on the same starting line now, why I don't have the idea of ​​fighting for hegemony, but always want to wait and see how Sun Ce will make a decision?

Patting his head, Qin Fan suddenly realized that in fact, there is only one reason at the root, and that is preconceived ideas.

He always believed that the territory here belonged to the Sun family, and he even had a vague feeling that even if he didn't become an official, he could still be a big landlord under Sun Quan's rule and spend his whole life.

After thinking this through, Qin Fan felt a shudder running down his spine. It is too dangerous to have such thoughts in troubled times.

"It seems that if you want to protect yourself in the troubled times, the only way to go is to fight for hegemony."

Qin Fan glanced at the expressionless Gu Yong, and gritted his teeth, "Gu Yong, let me ask you, if I want to fight for hegemony, what are my chances of winning?"

Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said: "At present, the Yuan family is the most powerful among the princes. The Yuan family in Hebei has four generations and three princes, and there are many old officials. If the Yuan family is good at management, in the future, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will have their own. One can win the world."

Qin Fan nodded slightly, Gu Yong's analysis was quite right.At the beginning of the battle, you can see through it, and Gu Yong's gaze is self-evident.

Gu Yong's voice changed, "However, Yuan Shaoser is courageous and scheming. He cherishes his life when he does great things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains. This is not the master of great things."

Qin Fan was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What about Yuan Shu?"

Gu Yong said with emotion: "Yuan Shu has a lot of troops, but he is so ambitious. From now on, he will be tired of himself."

Qin Fan was shocked, he didn't know the history in advance, he thought that Gu Yong was the real time traveler.

"Except for these two, the current strengths of the heroes in the world are roughly similar." Gu Yong smiled and glanced at Qin Fan: "If Qin Hou wants to fight for hegemony, he has three major advantages."

"Which four advantages?"

"First, Lujiang County is relatively rich compared to other prefectures and counties, and has nearly [-] soldiers and horses."

There are over ten thousand troops in one county, which Qin Fan did not expect.

"Secondly, if the Marquis of Qin killed Dong Zhuo, the national traitor, in the name of this, if he just climbed up and shouted, the heroes of the world would surely respond."

"The third is the status of Marquis Qin's son-in-law. We can make friends with Liu Biao and expand to the southwest."

"What about the fourth point?" Qin Fan asked hastily.

"As for the fourth point," Gu Yong paused for a moment before saying, "From my perspective on Yangzhou, apart from Yuan Shu, Sun Tzuyu is in danger. But Sun Jian died, and although Sun Ce has an old department, he can only retreat to Wujun for the time being. "

"So neither power nor fame can compare with Marquis Qin."

Gu Yong looked at Qin Fan and said with a smile: "I advise Marquis Qin to fight for hegemony because I value these four points. Apart from Er Yuan, Yuan Tan thinks Marquis Qin has the most hope of winning the world."

After listening to Gu Yong's analysis, Qin Fan couldn't help being amused, but judging from the current situation, what Gu Yong said was actually not wrong.

Liu Bei has no land yet, Cao Cao has only a little land, and Sun Ce is only a county.

Thinking about this, Qin Fan stood up abruptly, and said, "Even if we can't compete for the world, we are based on Jiangdong, and we are more than enough to protect ourselves. What do you think, sir?"

Gu Yong nodded approvingly.

Qin Fan said again: "Since we have decided to participate in this flood, we must first take care of this Lujiang River, Gu Yong obeys orders."

"I'm humble."

Gu Yong hurriedly got up and bowed.

"From today onwards, I will make you the Xiangguo, the same as the prefect."

Gu Yong was dumbfounded, he thought that at most he would be a county magistrate, in charge of managing people's livelihood, but he didn't expect this order to be directly at the same level as Qin Fan. "

"Qin Hou, this Xiangguo is a princely official"

"I know, I give you this right to trust you."

Qin Fan helped him up, and said: "Cai Gong said that you are a prime minister, you are only a prefect of a county, I don't think Yuan Tan will let me down?"

"Teacher, hey."

Gu Yuan sighed, and bowed deeply: "Gu Yongding will do his best to serve the Lord."

After walking out of Gu Yong's house, Qin Fan still felt a little hazy in his head.

In an instant, he was actually going to fight for hegemony from an ordinary citizen.This kind of change, even he himself can hardly believe it.

Xu Chu was also retained and appointed as the captain.He is in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Lujiang County.

But Xu Chu's brain is sometimes not good, so Qin Fan made Gu Yong equal to him, so that he can order Xu Chu.

In Xiaoxiao Lujiang County, there is Gu Yong in literature and Xu Chu in martial arts.He is very relieved.

Wan County, Qiao Mansion.

When Qin Fan and Wang Yue arrived, there were several guards outside.

Qin Fan and Wang Yue gave some advice and hurried to the mansion.

At this time, it was getting dark, and when he entered the front door, he was about to go inside when he heard footsteps.

Then a beautiful figure appeared in front of his eyes.

"Little Joe."

Seeing the person coming, Qin Fan greeted him, stepped forward a few steps, and hugged the beautiful woman who was standing still.

"Qin Fan, woo woo, why did you just come back?"

Xiao Qiao couldn't help the excitement in her heart, sobbing in Qin Fan's arms.

Qin Fan suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Qiao, so he sighed and hugged her tightly.
