There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Not only was the horse confiscated, but the money was gone, and he was forced by Tao Shang to come to Xuzhou with him.

Chapter 165 The Real Boss in Xuzhou

It's not that Guo Jia didn't think about running away.

Unfortunately not.

I don't know why this Mr. Tao attaches so much importance to him. Not only does he send someone to watch carefully day and night, but he also takes the initiative to come over and stick to him when he has free time during the day, chatting with him, chatting all over the world, which seems to be It's like a friend who has been acquainted for many years and talks about everything.

Guo was kidnapped by you, okay?Why are you acting like a buddy.

The sickest one was the Taishan soldier named You Luzi.

This kid seems to have been beaten with blood, he doesn't sleep all day long, holding a broken crossbow, he lurks around Guo Jia like a ghost all day long, but if Guo Jia makes a slight movement, he doesn't know where it came from. There was a sound of pulling the string and pulling the crossbow, which made Guo Jia upset, but he had nothing to do with the bedbug sticking nearby.

"Brother, what do you think of the scenery over there? My six counties in Xuzhou have outstanding people, and the scenery is not worse than your Yingchuan County, right? Settle down in this place. I will provide you with food and shelter. I will treat you better than a brother." , What do you think of my proposal?" The potter smiled and planned for Guo Jia's future.

Guo Jia looked at the potter with a blank face, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

When I was young, Fang heard him say: "Remind you, there are only five prefectures in Xuzhou. Your father occupied Peiguo in Yuzhou and became a prefecture in Xuzhou. In fact, it shouldn't be counted. When will Guo become yours?" big brother?"

"You and I are both righteous sons of Mr. Yuan. Based on seniority, you are of course my righteous brother."

Guo Jia reached out his hand and took out the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and said lazily: "Young Master Tao, Guo is good in everything else, but there is one problem. Stubborn! Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, the lord of the lords and allies, is he enough of a hero? But Guo looks down on him, even if he dies, he is unwilling to serve him, do you understand that?"

The pottery merchant chuckled, not angry, and said: "Brother Yi can really raise his own value, I think you are dissatisfied with the official position Yuan Shao gave you, don't say you are so noble, you are all from the same way, none of us know who else ?”

Guo Jia turned her head and hummed, and said, "Guo has been adhering to Confucianism since he was a child, he is not afraid of brutality, and vows to live and die with morality, so he is not a fellow traveler with you."

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "Pull it down, if you really swear to live and die with morality, from the first day I kidnap you and go to Xuzhou, you should find a stone and kowtow to death instead of being here with me." Talk nonsense, big brother, Tao will not be wrong, I believe that after a while, you will find that we are the most perfect partner."

Guo Jiayang sighed for a long time, and said sadly: "Guo is finished, you will be beautiful."

Just as the potter and Guo Jia were choking by the river, Mi Fang led a young official who looked less than 30 years old to come behind the potter.

"My lord, the county magistrate of Dongyang County, heard that our soldiers and horses are stationed here, and specially prepared fine wine and fruit, and came here to reward the three armies."

The pottery merchant turned his head in surprise, looked at the fair-looking young man with a kind face beside Mi Fang, and wondered: "Dongyang County doesn't seem to be very close here, why did the county magistrate of Dongyang County come to reward the army?" ?”

Mi Fang didn't know the situation very well, so she immediately gave up a position.

Then I saw the young county magistrate stepping forward, cupped his hands to the potter and said, "Chen Deng, magistrate of Dongyang County, has met Mr. Chang."

Hearing the name, the potter's eyes lit up.

In Tao Shang's mind, when it comes to the No. [-] person in Xuzhou who has both martial arts and martial arts, Tao Shang feels that it is not his father Tao Qian, nor the four masters of Mi Zhu, Cao Bao, Zhao Yu, and Wang Lang, let alone follow him. Mi Fang, who has been around for a year, did not act arbitrarily, Zang Ba, who established a country within a country in Xuzhou, but the young man in front of him, Chen Deng.

When I just came back from time travel, due to the urgency of the matter, I went out very quickly, so I didn't have time to inquire about this person's news.

He turned out to be the county magistrate in Dongyang County.

The reason why the pottery merchant thinks that Chen Deng is the number one person in Xuzhou is that what this person has done is so outrageous and jaw-dropping.

In the eyes of potters, although the main forces in Xuzhou are the four families of Mi, Cao, Wang, and Zhao, Chen Deng and his father Chen Gui can definitely be called two potential dragons.

Because in history, any princes who entered the territory of Xuzhou felt that they were following the script set by the Chen family and his son.

Historically, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei after his death. Many people thought that Liu Bei took advantage of Tao Qian, but that was not the case.

The leader of Xuzhou is Tao Qian, but Xuzhou's political system is composed of the leader of the gentry family. Even if Tao Qian identified Liu Bei as the successor to Xuzhou before his death, if there is no consent of the family, Liu Bei's ass will be heavy, and sooner or later he will be reborn. fell from this position.

However, at this time, it was Chen Deng who stood up to rescue Liu Bei.

Not only did he persuade the scholar bureaucrats in Xuzhou to agree, but he also wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to stand up and support Liu Bei to inherit Xuzhou.

Of course, the result was that Yuan Shao didn't know why Chen Deng took advantage of him, but he actually stood up and openly supported Liu Bei's succession to Xuzhou Mu's position.

And it was precisely because of Yuan Shao's full support that Liu Bei was able to take over the entire land of Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death.

The pottery merchant didn't know Chen Deng's family very well, but he felt that compared with the four big families that surrounded Tao Qian, the Chen family in Xiapi must have a status and aristocratic group that he didn't know very well. Only then can we deter the nobles in Xuzhou and make Yuan Shao wholeheartedly support Liu Bei's supremacy!

Later, Lu Bu, after entering Xuzhou, was played by Chen and his son as if they were in the palm of their hands. Some people thought that the person who killed Lu Bu was Cao Cao, but the potter felt that the person who really killed Lu Bu was not Cao Cao, not to mention Liu Bei, but the Chen Yuanlong in front of him, who is cunning and unpredictable, probably refers to such a person.

And Chen Deng is not just a civil servant, his military strength is also very strong.

After Lu Bu's death, Cao Cao appointed Chen Deng as the prefect of Guangling. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce integrated the Jiangdong army, with Sun Quan as the main general, and took the initiative to launch an attack on Kuangqi City in Guangling County.

Jiangdong's army was ten times stronger than Chen Deng's, but Chen Deng abused him like a dog. He didn't have any temper when he beat him, and he obediently returned to Soochow.

Such a person with both civil and military skills, not only has strategy, but also has the ability to command troops, and behind him is a low-key family with huge power, so Yuan Shao is also willing to use it for him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a character has the power of ghosts and gods.

But right now, he is just a magistrate of Dongyang County.

"The county lord came from afar to work hard. Dongyang County is at least a hundred miles away. The county magistrate Chen traveled so far to reward the army. It really makes Tao feel ashamed. It's too hard."

Chen Deng chuckled, and said respectfully: "What did the eldest son say? For the sake of the world, the son led his troops west to Sili and north to Sanhe. What he did made the world look at him. He fought for a year and fought for more than a thousand miles? Go down!" Even if an official travels a hundred miles to reward the army, it is far from the young master's hard work, and the young master's words really discourage the official."

The Tao merchant hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words, and said: "Chen Xianzun, although Tao is the son of the governor, he is only white. The father is the county magistrate of a parent who appointed Xiaolian as the imperial court. How can he call himself a subordinate in front of Tao?" ? It's not suitable for etiquette."

Hearing this, Chen Deng seemed quite surprised, and said: "Could it be that the eldest son has not known about the imperial court's appointment?"

The pottery merchant looked at Chen Deng in puzzlement, and wondered, "What appointment?"

Chen Deng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to the potter, but after thinking about it, he shook his head with a smile and changed his tone.

"After the eldest son returns to Pengcheng, the gentleman will announce it to the son, but there is no need for Chen to babble here."

Seeing Chen Deng's respectful and humble attitude towards him, the pottery merchant felt a little puzzled when he imagined that he came here from hundreds of miles away to welcome him.

With the style and name of the "No. [-] Big Brother in Xuzhou", he will not do anything that is not beneficial.

Chen Deng chatted with the potter for a few more words, and then said that he would go to see how the county officials who came with him were rewarding the army, so he would take his leave first, and then talk with the potter in detail when the banquet was held later.

The potter looked at the backs of Chen Deng and Mi Fang who had disappeared in a hurry, and lowered his head in thought.

But Guo Jia smiled and said: "Is this person Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong? Sure enough, he has two tricks, and he is quite successful."

"You know him?" The potter turned to look at Guo Jia in astonishment.

"How is it possible?" Guo Jia spread his hands and said helplessly, "If Guo knows him, why not say hello to him? Besides, I'm from Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and I'm from Xiapi, how can I have any friendship with him?" .”

"Then how do you know him?" The potter looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement and asked.

Guo Jia raised his brows, pondered for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "I can answer your question, but I need to pay you a piece of gold."

"What the hell?"
