The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 63 The cold reception from Yingchuan
In the room, the light was dim, and Jia Xu knelt down on the soft mat.

"Not found, missing?"

Jia Xu looked at Shi A in surprise. Unexpectedly, Shi A didn't find Guo Jia.

"The last general went to the direction of Hulao and pursued Baili, and discovered the opponent's whereabouts. He was not found in the direction of Xuanyuan Pass or Mengjin." Shi A said quickly.

After hearing this, Jia Xu immediately understood Guo Jia's whereabouts.

"He went to Guanzhong, tsk tsk, no wonder Zhong Yuanchang pays attention to this person. This person has some tricks." Jia Xu chuckled.

"The general will go after the opponent again."

Shi'a's expression changed after hearing this, and his eyes showed anger. He couldn't accept that he was fooled by the other party. This was a great shame and humiliation.

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's useless for you to catch up now, the other party has already escaped. This is probably God's will."

"But, sir, this person has such a high plan. If he leaves the lord now, he will definitely be in great trouble for the lord in the future." Shi A was a little worried.

"This man is very resourceful, but he is not congenitally gifted. He likes drinking, indulges in beauty, and is good at using five-stone powder. His life is not long." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "If he is well-educated, he can live over fifty, but he will use more resourcefulness. , it will definitely be nerve-wracking, I’m afraid even turning 40 will be sad.”

What kind of person is Jia Xu? It can be said that he is an old fox. He has had a lot of contact with Guo Jia during this period and understands every move of the other party. He admits that Guo Jia is very smart and his intelligence is not much different from his own.

But the other party has bad habits. He often smokes Five Stone Powder and is addicted to wine bars. His body has long been dead and riddled with holes. If he becomes a counselor and worries day and night, his lifespan will not be too long. of.

Such people can only describe each other as stunning, but they will never live long.

What does a person who cannot live long have to fear?

"Yes." Shi A nodded after hearing this, but he remembered Guo Jia's name in his heart, a guy who dared to play tricks on him.

"Report this to your lord!" Jia Xu waved his hand and handed over the letter in his hand.

No matter what, Qin Shou must know about this.

"My lord should have arrived in Yingchuan at this time." Shi A guessed.

"Yingchuan! The world's context is only the Lord." Jia Xu did not continue.

Jia Xu naturally knew the purpose of Qin Shou's trip to Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is the place where the world's cultural heritage lies, and there are not many young talents in Yingchuan Academy. Qin Shou must have gone to Yingchuan for the talents.

But Yingchuan is also a gathering place for aristocratic families. These people look down on Qin Shou. Even if Qin Shou is now Henan Yin, he will not be looked down upon by these aristocratic families.

It is conceivable that Qin Shou will not gain much from his trip to Yingchuan this time.

It can even be said to be self-humiliating.

Outside Yingchuan City, Qin Shou looked at the city in front of him with a gloomy expression.

In front of him, thousands of stones of food and grass were piled up like mountains.

But there was no joy on his face.

The city of Yingchuan is not tall and strong, and there are few defenders on it. Qin Shou believes that his soldiers can kill it with at most a few charges.

But now he was hesitant.

There are many Eguan Bo leaders on the city wall. These people's expressions are elegant and unrestrained, and their demeanor is extremely extraordinary.

"The Yingchuan family is really not simple."

Qin Shou looked at the people above. Although these people were not facing each other with swords, he could still see the indifference on their faces. Yingchuan did not welcome his arrival. These are the attitudes of the Yingchuan family.

"Lord, do you want to attack the city?" Xia Houlan asked impatiently.

His eyes were full of anger. Thousand stones of food and grass seemed to be abundant, but for the Knights, this was a shame. They wouldn't even let you enter the city.

They did not send troops to resist, nor did they use sharp words to prevent you from entering the city, but they just closed the city gates tightly and piled grain and grass outside.

The implication is very simple, use some food as money to buy money, you people, take the money and leave quickly! This is so similar to the Yellow Turban Army back then.

"You are very courageous. You dare to give away these grains and grass. Aren't you afraid that the general will kill you in anger?" Qin Shou looked at the two young men on the side very curiously.

He was wearing a long gown, and the clothes were washed white. He was obviously not from a noble family, but probably from a poor family, but Yingchuan Academy was still very good in this regard.

Every year, there are some quotas for those from poor families to join the academy to study. This is how the two people in front of me entered Yingchuan Academy.

However, after all, he is a child from a poor family and cannot be compared with a wealthy family. While receiving benefits, he also has to pay a price.

Just like delivering food and grass, it's these two's turn to come.

"What do you call them?"

Qin Shou called over two people and asked.

"Xia Fu (Shi Tao) has met the general in Yingchuan." The two of them did not dare to neglect and saluted quickly.

There was a bit more worry between his eyebrows.

"You two were pushed out to deliver food and grass. Aren't you afraid that the general would kill you two in a rage?" Qin Shou asked with a smile.

"The two of us came out to send food and grass on our own initiative. After all, the two of us came from poor families. We have benefited from the Yingchuan family by being able to study in the academy. At this time, we should repay the favor." Xu Fu explained.

"As for our lives, I heard that the general saved many people in Luoyang. I think the general is also a man who loves his people like his own son. How could such a person attack two scholars?" Shi Tao also said.

"You two are very kind." Qin Shou's eyes flickered.

He had heard of Shi Tao's name, and he was a talented prefect, but the Xu Fu in front of him had clear eyes and looked very intelligent, but he didn't know who he was guessing.

"Repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with hatred. The Yingchuan family has been kind to us, and we will naturally repay it." Xu Fu raised his head and said, without any fear in his words.

Qin Shou nodded, feeling in his heart that the person in front of him was Xu Shu, but he didn't know why he hadn't changed his name yet.

"Luoyang was first established. I think you two have great talents. How about you come with me to Luoyang and serve the country?"

Qin Shou invited.

Xu Fu and Shi Tao looked at each other, and finally shook their heads and said, "Thank you for your trust, general. It's just that we are still young and have not yet completed our studies. We have decided that after this matter, we will go to Jingzhou to learn from famous teachers. Continue studying."

"Yes! General, when we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely come to pay homage to the general." Shi Tao said quickly.

Qin Shou's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this and he laughed.

"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased. I am waiting for the arrival of the two of you in Luoyang."

Xu Fu and Shi Tao looked at each other in shock and secretly complained in their hearts.

The two of them originally just talked about it afterwards, but they didn't expect that the person in front of them actually took it seriously.
