Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 305
What Zhang Xiu thinks, Chu Nan can't care about it now, that fat old Jia Xu probably won't let him directly refuse Lu Bu's recruitment, and bear the great hatred of killing Cao Cao for him, so he has to find a way to bully him, right? Zhang Xiu came in the frame.

But at this moment, Chu Nan didn’t have time to take care of those things. Apart from tomorrow’s list of rewards, there were many things to do in Xuchang City, such as Announcements to the people, placement of soldiers and prisoners, liquidation of the treasury, and the identities of officials at all levels in the city. Stay in the city, but Xuchang initially decided to keep enough soldiers and horses to deter the people, how many and who to keep?
There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with today, the official award tomorrow, and the operation of the court. The emperor may not be seen, but things must be done. Besides, most of Yanzhou and Yuzhou have not yet been taken, and the remnants of Cao Jun are still there. Fighting with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun on Xiao Pei's side.

Looking at the mountain of files, Chu Nan felt that the top of his head was a little cold, wouldn't he be bald?Teacher, I miss you!

For the first time in his life, he missed a man so strongly!
"Where's father-in-law!?" At a certain moment, when Chu Nan raised his head, Lu Bu, who was supposed to be here with him to deal with these matters, disappeared at some point.

"Just now I said I'm going to inspect the city, so I'm leaving," Zhou Cang said.

"Why didn't you stop me!?" Chu Nan's eyes widened. There were so many things to do, and it was supposed to be his business, why did he just disappear! ?Does the lord Lu Bu need to do things like patrolling the city himself?

"This..." Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan suspiciously: "Do you want to stop it?"

[And the lord thinks highly of me too much? 】

"Tell me anyway!" Chu Nan hammered the table case, which indeed made it difficult for Zhou Cang to stop Lu Bu, but it would be good to remind me with a cough.

Zhou Cang stopped talking, didn't he just want to curse?Just scolding directly, what reason are you looking for, I spoke in a loud voice just now, did you lose your mind?
Just for a while, someone sent another batch of files. Looking at the mountain of files on the table, Chu Nan also wanted to quit, but many of these things were needed tomorrow, so he could only sigh and continue working. To be honest, life is hard.

"My lord, bring Xu Huang here!" Pei Yuanshao brought Xu Huang to the door as he was dealing with official documents.

"Please." Chu Nan put down his pen, wondering if Xu Huang would be able to help him with some of the work?It seems that this person has also worked as a civil servant before... maybe.

Xu Huang came in under the escort of Pei Yuanshao. Chu Nan looked at the rope tied to him, waved his hand and said, "Let's untie it."

Pei Yuanshao untied Xu Huang according to his words, and Chu Nan waved his hand and said, "Let's go out first."

"Master, this person..." Pei Yuanshao frowned, what if Xu Huang is not good for Chu Nan?
"It's okay, if General Gongming wants to harm me, it doesn't matter if you are here or not." Chu Nan waved his hand, looked at Xu Huang and said, "General, please sit down."

"Thank you!" Xu Huang sighed secretly, knelt down and fell into silence.

"Since the general hasn't left these days, I think I've made a decision in my heart." After pouring Xu Huang a glass of water, Chu Nan looked at Xu Huang and said, "Now that Xuchang is broken, I would like to ask the general to take up the post of captain of the army temporarily. , first help me to calm down Xu Chang's people, what do you think, General?"

Xu Huang raised his head to look at Chu Nan, frowned and said, "Sir, you trust the general so much?"

"The general's being able to leave these few days but not leaving has already explained a lot of things. Why can't I believe it?" Chu Nan nodded and said, "Besides, Cao Cao is dead. The general fought for Cao Cao to the end and was not disloyal. Now that Cao Cao is dead Death, between our army and Cao Cao is a battle between princes, loyalty is all that is needed, and it is too much to be loyal to death!"

"Next..." Xu Huang pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Nan and said, "There is one more thing, I would like to ask sir to agree."

"General, please tell me." Chu Nan nodded, motioned Xu Huang to say directly, as long as he is willing to vote and do things, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.

"The last general would like to ask Duke Cao to be buried generously with the ceremonies of a prince." Xu Huang said to Chu Nan, "In this way, the last general will be counted as the last effort for Duke Cao, and for Marquis Wen, this move can also be demonstrated. It is generous, and it is also convenient for Marquis Wen to recruit other generals."

After hearing the words, Chu Nan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, according to the general, I will discuss the funeral with my father-in-law tomorrow, does the general have any other requests?"

"Don't dare." Xu Huang shook his head. It would be meaningless to ask for more. If you ask for money and officials, most people will look down on you. It seems that there is nothing else to ask for. Xu Chang still knows a little about Lu Bujun's new policy, at most Tax cuts, for generals like Xu Huang who are not well-established in Xuchang, this kind of thing is not too big a reward.

"If there is nothing else, the general will accompany me to deal with these files here. These are the files that will be used tomorrow, please trouble the general." Chu Nan handed some of the classified files to Xu Huang, all of which needed to be done. But these things are not too important, and these things accounted for at least half of them. Lu Bu was responsible for these things before, but he ran away!Now that Xu Huang is his own person, it should be no problem for him to share some of the burden.

After finally finding a bitter official, he must not be allowed to run away. If possible, Chu Nan would like to recruit Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to work together, but just think about it. The two are depressed now. After the situation stabilizes, see the two of you again and talk about it.

Xu Huang was placed in Lu Bu's position with a dazed expression, not understanding what happened, so Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao piled up a large number of files in front of his desk.

Looking at Chu Nan who ignored him and scribbled at his desk, Xu Huang felt a little complicated. Is this considered to be trusted or pulled out?
"Excuse me, General!" Seeing Xu Huang in a daze, Chu Nan clasped his hands together towards Xu Huang, and then continued to write quickly. He looked like a primary school student who forgot to do his summer homework before the end of the summer vacation!
Driven by Chu Nan, Xu Huang silently picked up his pen and began to write. Although he was not as crazy as Chu Nan, his speed was not slow. The main thing that Chu Nan arranged for him were trivial matters, which were not difficult.

The lights in the room stayed on until midnight, and Xu Huang dragged his exhausted body away and returned to his home.

At Xu Huang's home, his wife got up immediately when she heard the knock on the door in the middle of the night. His son Xu Gai walked in front of his mother with a stick, watching the door vigilantly.

Ever since Xu Huang sent troops with Cao Cao and refused to return, the mother and son have been worried, especially today when the Jianghuai army broke through Xuchang. I raised my heart, for fear that the Jianghuai army would break into the door and find them bad luck.

"Who!?" Xu Gai boldly shouted as he walked in front of his mother with a stick in his hand.

"Me." Xu Huang's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the familiar voice, the mother and son were startled for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. Xu Gai hurried forward to open the door and saw his father who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Father (husband)!" Seeing that Xu Huang came back safe and sound, the mother and son were finally relieved, and Xu Huang's wife wept with joy.

"Husband, what happened?" After embracing her husband for a while, the wife said with some fear.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it after entering the house, Gaier, go and rest." Xu Huang was relieved to see that their mother and child were safe. The army's military order today may be wiped out.

Xu Gai was a little reluctant, but was kicked by his father, so he could only go back obediently.

He took his wife back to the bedroom, took off his clothes under the service of his wife, and washed his face again. It was already too late, Xu Huang didn't go to take a bath, and simply told what happened these days.

"It's good that my husband can come back safely." The wife was not surprised that her husband had switched to Lu Bu. For their mother and son, Xu Huang was the king of the family, and Xu Huang was probably more important than anything else.

"Well, the envoy of Chu regards me very highly. Although the commander of the army is not a high-ranking official, he still has some real power in Xuchang. At least he doesn't have to worry about being coerced." Xu Huang lay on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief. , but then sighed: "However, Mr. Cao is also considered to be kind to me. It is somewhat unjust to take the lead in defecting to the enemy this time."

"The envoy of Chu's words are not bad." Regarding this, the wife has a different opinion: "When Cao Gong was there, my husband also fought hard, and almost died on the battlefield. He is already loyal to Cao Gong. Now Cao Cao The Duke is dead, so is it true that you have to lose your life to be loyal? Then the price of loyalty is too high."

Xu Huang shook his head: "Women, what do you know? The key to this matter is not to be loyal. I am the first to return to the Marquis of Temperature, which is to open a hole in the hearts of others. I have to bear [-]% of the infamy of being the first to surrender. Those who surrender again in the future will not have to bear these, so the reason why the envoy of Chu entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility is that there is indeed a shortage of people, and secondly, it can be regarded as making up for it."

Thinking of being dragged by Chu Nan to do hard work for most of the day, Xu Huang felt that it would be good if he surrendered tomorrow. If he surrendered tomorrow, at least he would not have to do so many trivial things. Feeling a little numb, Xu Huang felt that the sum of his words in his life might not be as much as today.

"It's good that my husband is fine, and we'll talk about the future." After his wife helped him undress, she also posted the clothes on herself.

"A woman's opinion!" Xu Huang sighed, it would be easy for him to surrender today, but if Lu Bu loses power or is defeated in the future, it will not be easy for him to surrender again. Thinking about it this way, this envoy of Chu is really clever.

"The concubine is a woman." The wife twisted her body a little dissatisfied.

"That's all!" Xu Huang pulled the quilt to cover the two of them...
