Just when Chen Gong and Bian Rang were heading towards Liu Lin's Anbei General Mansion, a man came to Liu Lin's study. This person was Cao Ren, Cao Cao's younger brother. Cao Ren and Liu Lin were old acquaintances.
In my impression, this Liu Lin was always a young child. I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, this child had grown into a prince in the north, sitting in the land of seven counties, holding a hundred thousand elite soldiers, sitting there, and no longer there.
Although he was still handsome as before, he still had a calm and powerful aura. This aura was brought about by his determination to kill! Cao Ren actually felt boundless pressure, and this pressure was on his elder brother.
There are some around me, but they are not as strong as Liu Lin!
"Zixiao, we haven't seen each other for five years. It seems that Zixiao is becoming more and more like a general!" Liu Lin smiled and raised the teacup to signal Cao Ren. Cao Ren quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, saying
: "The Marquis of Yan was joking. Now that Zixiao has no official position and no experience in leading troops, how can he be considered a general?" "Oh? Really? I heard that Brother Mengde raised five thousand troops in Chenliu. Is it possible?
These five thousand soldiers and horses are not led by Gui Zixiao, but by Brother Meng De! He has such a great talent, but he does not take on important responsibilities, but he comes to Youzhou! Alas!" Liu Lin said with a smile, and when Cao Ren heard this, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.
He tensed up, then smiled and said: "Brothers Xiahou are heroes of the world. With them helping my brother, I am very happy and free. Besides, it is also a great honor to be envoy to Youzhou!" In fact, Cao Ren originally wanted to say that he, a little person, only
He was able to do his job as an envoy, but Cao Ren was not happy and did not think that he was incompetent. This would not only devalue himself, but also offend Liu Lin, who was afraid that Liu Lin would not accept Cao Cao's alliance in anger!
When Liu Lin saw the change in Cao Ren's expression, he knew that Cao Ren already had a problem with what he had just said, so he stopped talking about this issue. After all, after talking too much, Cao Ren would definitely know that he was provoking, and he would definitely deal with it when the time comes.
It was counterproductive. "Well, what Zixiao said is absolutely true. Now that we have come to Youzhou, you and I brothers can get together more. As for the alliance you just mentioned, I want to listen to everyone's opinions. What do you think?" Cao Ren
Upon hearing this, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Marquis Yan!" Liu Lin smiled, nodded, and said loudly, "Come here, take General Cao to the guild hall!" Cao Ren raised his hands and bowed to Liu Lin before retreating.
Got out.
As soon as Cao Ren walked to the front yard, he saw Xun Yu leading the two people towards this side. Cao Ren knew Xun Yu and knew that he was the number one person under Liu Lin, so he hurried forward and saluted, "I have met Ambassador Xun!"
Xun Yu smiled and said, "General Cao, you're welcome!" Seeing Cao Ren looking at the two people around him, he introduced him: "These two people are both great talents in Youzhou!" He pointed at Chen Gong and said: "
This is Chen Gong of Dongjun County! He was the magistrate of Zhongmu County!" Chen Gong quickly smiled and handed over his hands. When Cao Ren heard the name of Zhongmu County Magistrate, he was stunned and began to look at Chen Gong carefully, because he heard that his brother
He said about this person, and others relied on this person's words to guide him. It was this sentence that allowed his brother to spy on the door and achieve his current strength. Cao Ren looked at Chen Gong and fell into Xun Yu's eyes.
He quickly smiled and said: "This one is Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, the younger brother of the world-famous Cao Mengde!"
Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo was known to everyone in the world, and he became a hero praised by the world in one fell swoop! When Chen Gong heard this, he knew why this man was looking at him, so he smiled and said, "How is Brother Meng De doing now?" Xun Yu was stunned.
, and understood in an instant, Cao Ren quickly nodded and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen that day! Cao will hold a banquet the next day to thank you sir!" Chen Gong said with a smile: "Okay!" Xun Yu introduced Bian Rang again,
Cao Ren was not interested in Bian Rang, and Bian Rang was not interested in Cao Ren either, so the two of them exchanged a few words before conversing with each other and that was it!
Chen Gong and Bian Rang entered Liu Lin's study under the leadership of Xun Yu. At this moment, Xun You, Chen Qun and Guo Jia were also in the study. These people were all working in the General's Mansion. When they saw Chen Gong coming, Liu Lin
He was immediately overjoyed, and when he saw the young man next to Chen Gong, Liu Lin's eyes showed a happy smile, and he quickly stepped forward and said: "I have heard about Mr.'s name for a long time, and Liu Lin missed him very much. I passed by Chen Liu that day, and I was supposed to visit Mr.
I'm afraid that my husband will blame me for being abrupt, so I haven't had a chance to meet him. I'm really lucky to see you today!" He was a little stunned. Although he had been the prefect of Jiujiang, after all, his official position couldn't be compared with Liu Lin's. In addition, he
He was only a little older than Liu Lin, but when he saw Liu Lin being so courteous and virtuous, he quickly bowed and said: "The Marquis of Yan is sitting in Youyan to resist the Hu chiefs, so that the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses. This is a courtesy!"
After that, he bowed and bowed, and then continued: "The Marquis of Yan governs Jizhou and makes the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life. You can see it by looking at the leopard in a certain pipe. This is the second bow!" He bowed to Liu Lin again!
Bowed, and then said: "Marquis Yan invented books and promoted enlightenment, which made scholars all over the world grateful. Such meritorious deeds make Bian admire him. This is the third bow!" After that, he bowed again!
When everyone saw it, a smile appeared on their faces. Liu Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help me and gave way: "Mr. Liu Lin praised me so highly, and I, Liu Lin, am ashamed to deserve it! I can only repay what you said today by being more diligent in political affairs!"
"Liu Lin is diligent in political affairs, and Bian Rang has heard about it for a long time. Today, I saw that although Liu Lin was young, he was calm and magnanimous, with quite a heroic demeanor. Bian Rang was impressed by him. In addition, what he saw in Jizhou City, Youzhou, he was already convinced.
Bian Rang admired Liu Lin. At this time, Liu Lin's courtesy corporal completely conquered Bian Rang. He quickly stepped forward and bowed and said: "Bian Rang's population has doubled recently, and his family is poor. Now he is struggling with food and clothing.
I wonder if the general is in charge of food?" This is a naked person applying for a job. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Liu Lin showed a happy look on his face and said quickly: "Three meals a day, including wine and meat, I don't know.
Is that enough?" Rang also said with a smile: "Enough, enough!" After the two of them finished speaking, they burst into laughter!
When Chen Gong saw that Bian Rang had stayed, he was extremely happy. Seeing that Liu Lin had neglected Chen Gong when talking to Bian Rang just now, he quickly took Chen Gong's hand and said, "What I said on the public platform that day, I
Liu Lin's memory is still fresh in his mind. He is very happy to see Gongtai today!" After speaking, he said with a smile: "Since Gongtai has come to Youzhou, let's serve as a meritorious officer for the time being!" When Chen Gong heard this,
He quickly raised his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord!" Regarding Bianyi, Liu Lin knew that this person was good at answering questions, so he smiled and said: "Wenli, please take over the position of chief secretary of Anbei Army!" After Bianyiyi, he quickly clasped his fists.
He said: "No!" Although Bian Rang was a prefect in the past, since he gave up his official position, he could only come here to serve as the chief registrar, otherwise Liu Lin would not be able to distinguish rewards and punishments!
