Chapter 24 Xu You's Visit
After killing the Jiuyuan County magistrate, Lv Bu began to reorganize the soldiers of Jiuyuan County. In the following days, a lot of young and middle-aged people came from various villages and towns in Jiuyuan County. In this way, Lv Bu also had 2,500 usable soldiers. Although they are all untrained recruits. Fortunately, these people grew up on the grassland and are quite familiar with riding and shooting. With a little training, they can be pulled out to fight.
Looking at his two or five hundred soldiers, Lv Bu sighed for a while. When he came to the Three Kingdoms, he finally looked a little like it today. Lv Bu didn't realize that he was a little ambitious.
It's just that Lv Bu was a little unhappy that he didn't see Xu You this time. Xu You ran so fast. Although Lv Bu sent people to chase Xu You as soon as he heard Xu You's name, it was too late to find any trace of Xu You. I just knew from the people in the government that there was such a person. However, Lv Bu was not worried. Lv Bu believed that as long as he still controlled Jiuyuan County, Xu You would definitely show up. It should be that Lv Bu knew that in Xu You's view, the value of Lv Bu was much greater than that of Jiuyuan County Magistrate.
On the third day when Lv Bu came to Jiuyuan County, on this day, Lv Bu was arranging the matter of Jiuyuan County with Hou Cheng.
"Hou Cheng, I intend to let you stay in Jiuyuan County and guard this city for me. On the one hand, it can prevent the Huns from returning to the grassland. On the other hand, I want to show you as the military Sima and guard Jiuyuan for me. What do you think?"
When Hou Cheng heard this, he looked happy and immediately said, "Thank you for your appreciation. Hou Chengding will live up to the trust of you. He will never let a Xiongnu fly fly into Jiuyuan."
Lv Bu looked at Hou Cheng, patted Hou Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Remember, although I value Jiuyuan City very much, I value you Hou Cheng more. If one day Jiuyuan City is difficult to guard, you have to promise me that you will come back to see me alive.
After listening to Lv Bu's words, Hou Cheng unconsciously, tears actually turned around in his eyes. At present, he said to Lv Bu, "Hou Cheng's life was saved by the prince. In the future, he will be driven by the prince. Hou Cheng will never have a word."
Hou Cost had no choice but to turn to Lv Bu. Thinking that Lv Bu actually valued Hou Cheng so much, he not only let Hou Cheng stay alone in Lv Bu's only territory, but also said that he valued Hou Cheng more than this territory. For a moment, Hou Cheng felt that he was really lucky enough to get such a good master. How can it not work to death?
Looking at Hou Cheng's performance, Lv Bu nodded with satisfaction. Lv Bu knew in his heart that he finally subdued Hou.
Just as Lv Bu was making emotional investments in Hou Cheng, a soldier came in from the outside and reported to Lv Bu: "Son, there is a man outside asking for a meeting. I don't know if you want to see that man?"
Lv Bu looked at the soldier who came up to report strangely and said to himself, "Grandma, how much did you charge the man outside?" Unexpectedly, he came in to report without even asking his name.
Although Lv Bu thought so in his heart, he made a hospitable appearance on the surface. He said, "Who is it? Please invite him in." Lv Bu, there's nothing he can do. Who wants to be a virtuous sergeant in the Three Kingdoms?
When the soldier heard it, he immediately replied, "The man didn't say who he was. He just said that he was an old acquaintance of the prince and came to visit the prince from afar." After saying that, the soldier went down to spread the message.
Lv Bu is even more out of his mind. He said to himself, "Grandma, my old acquaintance, or is it from afar? Is it the same as me that he came to me through time? This guy is too talky, isn't he?
In a moment, I saw a young scribe in his twenties, wearing a gray scribe robe. When Lv Bu saw a scribe, he hurried forward to greet him. Who made the scholars in the Han Dynasty superior? Even the great general of He Jin, who was extremely human, had to give these literati three points. Of course, Lv Bu, such a milky and unsoaked boy, showed more respect in order to get closer to the scholars.
Seeing Lv Bu welcoming him, the middle-aged scribe smiled and said, "I've heard that Ding Taishou has got a tiger for a long time. It's really extraordinary to see it today."
As soon as Lv Bu heard the words of this person, he knew that his eyes were higher than the top. You won't praise anyone. What do you do when you mention others? To put it nicely, it's close to call. To put it unpleasantly, it is to take advantage of Lv Bu.
Because the meaning in this scribe's words is very clear, he and Ding Yuanping intersect. You are Ding Yuan's son. What should I call you? It's up to you.
Lv Bu rolled in the blood and the fire anyway. How can you fall behind here? Lv Bu smiled and said to the middle-aged scribe, "Since you are familiar with my father, if you have any questions, please go to Wuyuan County and find my father."
With that, Lv Bu ignored the people. Then he strode out of the door. He said, "Grandma is shameless. Do you think I have to know you?"
When the young scribe saw that Lv Bu was about to leave, he showed a lot of embarrassment on his face. He stepped forward and intercepted Lv Bu and said, "Son, slow down. There are some things about Jiuyuan County. I want to discuss with you."
At this time, Lv Bu turned around and pointed to Hou Cheng next to him and said, "Tell him, now he is the largest official in Jiuyuan County." After saying that, Lv Bu went to the living room on the other side without looking back.
The young scribe felt very boring, so he had to leave and leave the Jiuyuan County government.
It was only an hour later that a soldier came to Lv Bu in a panic. There was also a worship post in his hand, and the word "Xu You" was written on it.
Lv Bu saw Xu You's invitation and smiled. He hurried to meet Xu You outside the door.
Lv Bu came to the door and saw except for the young scribe who had come. There is also a person with a warm smile on his face. Wearing a light cyan scribe's gown. I think this person is Xu You.
Lv Bu hurried forward and arched his hand and said, "I've heard Mr. Xu You's name for a long time. Today, I can see that I'm really lucky."
Xu You looked at Lv Bu, a 15-year-old teenager in front of him, and sighed in his heart, "Why should Mr. Lv be polite? Although Mr. Lv is only a young man, he is already famous. Sure enough, it's a generation of heroes. It won't take long to think about it. The name of the prince will definitely be known in the sea, which will convince the people of the world.
As soon as Lv Bu heard Xu You's words, his evaluation of Xu You also improved a little. He still said modestly, "Sir, I praise you. It's just a little bit of a false name. There can be the exaggeration as the gentleman said. It is still the gentleman's reputation, and the knowledge in the sea is amazing. If the boy's husband's knowledge is enough, he will be exhausted by all sentient beings. He dares to show off in front of his husband.
After listening to Lv Bu's admiration, Xu You smiled, and his impression of Lv Bu was also a little better. Xu Youyi arched his hand and said, "Today, Xu You came here to visit. Let's go in and talk about it."
Only then did Lv Bu notice that he forgot to invite Xu You to come in. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, please sit inside quickly. I'm so happy to see you here. I forgot to invite you to come in for a while. Please forgive me." After saying that, Lv Bu hurriedly asked Xu You to come in.
When it arrived, the servants served tea for Xu You. Lv Bu asked Xu You, "Sir, come here. I don't know what's the matter?"
The reason why Lv Bu is so polite to Xu You is that Lv Bu value Xu You's talent very much. Of course, Lv Bu didn't think about subduing Xu You with Lv Bu's current foundation. What Lv Bu thought was that he would have a good relationship with Xu You now. You should know that in the Battle of Guandu, the reason why Xu You betrayed Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao, in addition to Yuan Shao's reasons, more importantly, Xu You and Cao Cao had a good relationship. Well, if Lv Bu and Xu You have a good relationship now, Xu You may still go to Lv Bu's account at a critical time.
After sitting down, Xu You took a sip of tea first. Then Youyou asked Lv Bu, "Since you are in charge of Jiuyuan County, I don't know what you are going to do next?"
As soon as Lv Bu heard this, he knew that Xu You did not come to find him for no reason. He hurriedly answered, "Although I am in charge of Jiuyuan, I am not good at learning. I have never governed a place. Please don't hesitate to teach me."
Xu You smiled and said, "Since the prince asked, I have a few questions to ask Mr. Lv."
Lv Bu said, "What's the problem, sir? You must know it when you are late."
