I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 353

As a Han Chinese, Qu Yi still has a certain sense of righteousness.

However, as a Liangzhou native, Qu Yi's sense of righteousness is not as strong as that of the Central Plains people, and is relatively weaker after dealing with the Qiang people for many years.

This cannot be blamed on him, the Han people in Liangzhou grew up in a much worse environment than those in the Central Plains.

Working with the Qiang Hu every day, the entire land of Liangzhou is full of blood and killings, and the resources in the northwest border are pitifully scarce.

Even if you are a powerful person, every time you go out, you will worry about whether you will be robbed and killed by gangsters.

Ordinary people walk outside, and when they sleep, they really sleep with a knife or sword, and they really can't sleep without a weapon.

People who live in such a place are naturally far inferior to those in the Central Plains in terms of mentality and understanding.

As for Qu Yi, who was born in Liangzhou, it is naturally impossible for him to go all the way to Youzhou to join Han Fu because of simple loyalty.

Although Xun Yu is not from Liangzhou, he has a deep understanding of the psychology of Liangzhou people.

They hate the Central Plains people, but at the same time they eagerly want to integrate into the Central Plains people's group.

It can be said that people from Liangzhou, especially those with certain identities, live in contradictions.

Qu Yi must be the same.

In Xun Yu's view, it is impossible for the current Han Fu to give Qu Yi anything.

For a character like Qu Yi, a hero who can lead troops out of Liangzhou, what he wants, Han Fu really can't afford.

So, under Xun Yu's instruction, Jian Yong secretly went to see Qu Yi.

What Han Fu couldn't afford, Liu Jian could afford.

At this time, Zhang Ju was stationed in Feiru, while Han Fu was stationed in Ji County, and Qu Yi led the main force given to him by Han Fu to attack Zhang Ju on the front line.

The two sides fought for several days, although Qu Yi did not lose the wind, he really did not take advantage of it.

He asked Han Fu to increase his troops. Although Han Fu agreed, there was no movement. Qu Yi was really upset.

In fact, it's not that Han Fu doesn't want to add troops to Qu Yi, but he actually has his difficulties.

He originally contacted the Xianyu family in Youzhou, hoping that the other party could support his soldiers and food to fight against bandits. After the Zhang Ju Rebellion was quelled, he would naturally give the Xianyu family the due reward as the governor of Youzhou.

The so-called repayment is naturally the additional resources that the wealthy and famous families can control in the local area through the official office.

For more than a hundred years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the relationship between the government office and the local nobles and nobles was mostly based on this foundation.

But this time, Han Fu miscalculated an important matter.

That means Youzhou's current resources are no longer under his control.

In terms of political sense, Han Fu is really a mediocre person. His fellow countryman Xun Yu's series of precise operations in You Beiping are really like a tiger, and he has taken all the power in Youzhou into his own hands.

Now the most important resources in Youzhou are inseparable from the local animal husbandry bureau headed by Xun Yu and Liu Jian.

Han Fu, the Inspector of Youzhou, is just a nominal name. What political power and influence does he have in Youzhou?

The people of the major families are not fools, they also want resources, but now they understand that it is absolutely impossible to get this resource from Han Fu.

Therefore, for Han Fu, he could not get the support of the families in Youzhou at all.

Without the support of the various families, Han Fu is a clever woman who can't live without rice. Where will he get the follow-up soldiers and food for Qu Yi?
But the problem is that Qu Yi doesn't know about Han Fu's difficulties.

Qu Yi is just a powerful warrior who came here from Liangzhou. What he is looking at now is only the battlefield and meritorious deeds, as well as climbing to the next level.

If Han Fu could give him enough resources, Qu Yi believed that he would be able to quell Zhang Ju's rebellion.

But Han Fu held him back.

That is to say, at this juncture where you can't advance, and you can't retreat, Jian Yong, as an envoy, came to see him.

Jian Yong did not come empty-handed when he came to see Qu Yi.

He brought a lot of precious treasures and belongings, in addition to a well-made scale armor, and three top horses from Youzhou.

It's not that Qu Yi is a money-greedy person, but emphasizing gifts and treasures can show that Liu Jian and Xun Yu attach great importance to Qu Yi.

The so-called scholar dies for his confidant, but sometimes, how does a scholar know who is his confidant?
In the case of not knowing each other deeply, only expensive gifts may be able to show their sincerity.

As a warrior who has been in the border county all year round, Qu Yi was very surprised at the generosity of Liu Jian and Xun Yu.

Especially that pair of well-made armor and those few rare Beidi horses really moved Qu Yi.

For a general who commands soldiers on the front line, armor and horses are equal to his life. Sometimes when a person encounters a real crisis on the battlefield, only these two things can be used as the last amulet to help him save his life.

Jian Yong came from afar with expensive gifts, Qu Yi should treat him as a distinguished guest.

Although the two of them had never met before, but after just chatting for a while, they became acquainted like close friends for many years.

This is Jian Yong's unique skill.

One of his biggest advantages is that he can get acquainted with anyone.

He had this ability before he became an official, and after he became an official, he practiced it to perfection.

After a drink, the two began to call each other brothers.

"Mr. Xianhe, you and I have never met before, but this time you came to me with such an important gift. I am really ashamed in my heart. I am ashamed to accept it. I am ashamed to accept it."

Qu Yi drank a little too much during this meal, and he stuttered somewhat when he spoke, and began to speak indiscriminately.

However, what Jian Yong was waiting for was his state.

Only in this state, Jian Yong can say something to him.

"Brother, you are welcome. Your reputation is like thunder from the nine heavens. I have heard about it for a long time. The name of the Xiping Qu family is not only known in Liangzhou, but also in Hebei."

"I am ordered by General Liu to bring some Bo Lite to see my brother, not for other reasons, but just to express to Brother Qu Qu's friendship with General Zuo."

Hearing this, Qu Yi felt very sad.

"General Zuo is famous and famous all over the world. As the uncle of the clan, he has made great achievements many times, from beheading Helian, to punishing Zhangjiao, to Mushou Hebei, to punishing Simaju, Xu He...every one Every achievement is beyond my comparison, how can a humble person like Li Yi get into the eyes of General Zuo?"

Jian Yong laughed loudly: "What Brother Qu said, if someone else was around, they might not know Brother Qu's great talent, but what kind of person is General Zuo?"

"Knowing people is good at observing, it is difficult to deceive falsehoods, recognizing talents, regardless of humbleness, when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were in the Li Shu, and Zhao Yungao was promoted to the ranks of the army, knowing Zhang Yungao, seeing Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, etc. are in the army. Famous generals can all be used by them. In the north, they can drive foreign invaders to the frontier, and in the south, the town can be smaller than the territory. Who can compare with it in the four seas?"

Jian Yong boasted about Liu Jian, but every word he said entered Qu Yi's heart.

What did Qu Yi come all the way from Liangzhou Xiping County to Kanto?
Isn't it just to be able to find someone who can value his ability and help him get out of that ghost place in Liangzhou?

He had previously thought that Han Fu, known as a celebrity in Yingchuan, could do this.

But now it seems that Han Fu is just a false name.

Qu Yi helped Han Fu win several battles, but he didn't get the slightest return or benefit, which made him extremely frustrated and discouraged.

In this world, it is not that there are no people who can work for you for nothing, but the relationship must be strong.

Like the relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Liu Jian, they can sacrifice their lives for Liu Jian without asking for anything in return, but this kind of relationship has been accumulated over the years, and it can be met but not sought.

Obviously, the relationship between Qu Yi and Han Fu is far from reaching this level.

Qu Yi is very disappointed with Han Fu now.

Thinking of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others, who used to be unknown people, but after Liu Jian's side, they all became prosperous and powerful... Qu Yi felt extremely envious.

Look at the master they are looking for.

Look at this one I found again.

Simply incomparable!

Thinking of going here, Qu Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He looked at Jian Yong and said, "I don't know what position Mr. Xianhe holds under General Liu's command?"

Jian Yong smiled and said: "Oh, I don't have any great talents, I only have a solid tongue, and I can lobby everywhere. In the past, General Zuo asked me to take care of the family's foundation for him in Youzhou. Today, the great event will come true, General. If you want me to go to Jizhou, please protect me as the prefect of one or two thousand stones."

What Jian Yong said, Qu Yi was really depressed.

Look, look!
This is how people die more than others!

A man who took care of Liu Jian's home in Youzhou and acted as an emissary to play tricks, and now he is going to Jizhou to serve as two thousand stones... Naigong's
Jian Yong suddenly asked: "I don't know if my brother is currently under Han Fangbo's command, what position is he?"

Qu Yi's face turned red with embarrassment at the question.

He took a sip of wine and said sullenly:
"It's just under Han Fangbo's command, temporarily acting as the Sima of another department, and has no specific official position."

"Oh."

Jian Yong suddenly let out a cry.

"Brother used to help Han Fangbo fight against Dong Zhuo in the Central Plains. The crossbow formation in Liangzhou almost caused Xiliang soldiers to suffer a little. This alone is enough to see that brother is a rare general."

"There is no official position today, and it is really a bit of a shame."

Qu Yi took another sip of wine: "The fortune is bad, so what can I do?"

Jian Yongdao: "This is the first time I meet my elder brother today, there are some things I shouldn't have said."

"But in my opinion, my elder brother is a great general. It's a pity that he is lost here now. The so-called good birds choose trees to live in. Why don't you abandon Han Fangbo and find a way out elsewhere?"

Qu Yi shook his head and sighed, "I was born in Liangzhou, so I was never looked down upon by the Kanto scholars. If I went to another place, who would accept it? It's not easy."

Jian Yong smiled and said: "Just now I said that General Zuo recruits talents regardless of their background. Didn't my brother listen to it? It seems that Guan Zhangzhao and others are all from similar backgrounds to my brother. Now they are all famous and important generals. If elder brother goes, he will achieve success in the future, and he will definitely not be inferior to these three...why not vote for him?"

Qu Yi stared at Jian Yong closely: "I only regret that I have no connections."

Jian Yong smiled and said: "What kind of connections do I need? The precious gifts I brought today are all gifts from General Zuo's elder brother Qingyang, which shows General Zuo's expectations for Brother Qu."

"As long as my brother is willing, Jian Yong is willing to be the person recommended."

Qu Yi laughed when he heard this.

"For me, this is really a god-sent opportunity. I should go with my husband. I just go to General Zuo, and I don't have the merit of an audience. This is not Qu's character. Sir, wait for me for a few days, and wait for me to take one. I will give you an audience gift, and then I will go with my husband to see General Zuo."
