As one of the three princes, Yuan Huai's mansion is full of traffic. The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and its disciples and former officials are all over the world. It can be said that it is one of the top aristocratic families in the world. The only one who can compete with it is the Yang family.
One is the fourth generation of the Third Duke, and the other is the fifth generation of the Third Duke. The two families were definitely among the top wealthy families in the Han dynasty.
The foundation of the Yuan family is in Runan. It can be said that Runan is the gathering place of the Yuan family, and Yuan Huai is the representative figure of the Yuan family in the court.
Yuan Huaigui was the third Duke and had great influence in the court. On weekdays, many old officials came to visit, making Yuan Huai's house look like a city, showing the style of a wealthy family.
At this time, in the side hall, Yuan Huai was sitting there dressed in rich clothes, gently sipping tea, while Yuan Shao was standing beside Yuan Huai.
Yuan Shao still seemed very respectful in front of Yuan Huai, and told Yuan Huai everything about Jian Shuo's arrangement with them in the camp today.
Yuan Huai, who was stroking his beard, raised his brows, slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Oh, based on my understanding of Jian Shuo, he definitely does not have such quick wit. If he really has such resourcefulness, I am afraid that you will be in trouble with him."
My men can't stir up any trouble."
There was a calm look on Yuan Shao's face. Yuan Huai could see this, and Yuan Shao could also see it. However, Yuan Shao was a little confused as to who was advising Jian Shuo.
After all, Jian Shuo was able to come up with the idea to suppress them in a short period of time. This person was not only quick-witted, but also very talented.
Yuan Shao, who always liked to make friends with talented people, first thought not about causing trouble for the other person, but how to find out the person behind Jian Shuo and then go and make friends with him.
Having always relied on the Yuan family, whenever Yuan Shao made friends with people, as long as he used the Yuan family's signature, there would be few people who would not be close to him.
Of course Yuan Shao knew that these people came here for the title of fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, but Yuan Shao really didn't care. What he cared about was whether these people were truly knowledgeable or talented.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was distracted in front of him, Yuan Huai shook his head slightly. How could he not know Yuan Shao's temperament? He knew what Yuan Shao was thinking at this moment without even thinking about it.
However, Yuan Huai looked at Yuan Shao seriously and said: "At this time, if there is really someone who is giving guidance to Jian Shuo behind his back, then I am afraid that this person is not one of us. If you want to make friends with him, I am afraid that he is not
Most likely."
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and said: "How can you know if you don't try it."
Just looking at Yuan Shao, Yuan Huai stopped trying to persuade him. Yuan Shao already had his own ideas. He could remind him, but he would not make up his mind for Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Huai said: "Jian Shuo's actions are reasonable and reasonable. No matter how much trouble you make, I'm afraid it won't change anything, but you don't need to worry too much. Jian Shuo's personal force is not bad, but he must lead the army."
When it comes to training troops, it is absolutely impossible. It will be embarrassing when the time comes."
Whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Yuan Huai, almost no one was optimistic about Jian Shuo and Chu Yi's ability to train troops.
In this era, those who can train soldiers and even have heirs of military books are almost all from aristocratic families. If they are not from aristocratic families, they do not have such a foundation at all. Can ordinary people really have access to those extremely precious books on the art of war?
As for Jian Shuo and Chu Yi, what are their backgrounds? It would be strange if they had come into contact with military books. Moreover, even if they have the conditions to come into contact with military books, they still need to be talented if they want to learn them. Anyway, Yuan Huai, Yuan Shao and the others will never know it.
He believed that among the eunuchs, there could be someone who could be the general who could command the army.
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "So my nephew doesn't care at all. No matter how many soldiers and horses Jian Shuo, Chu Yi and others have, they are just a bunch of rabble."
While Yuan Shao and Yuan Huai were discussing Jian Shuo and Chu Yi in the mansion, Chun Yuqiong and Xia Mou were having a banquet with many friends at Chunxiang Tower to vent their dissatisfaction.
Although after Yuan Shao's explanation, he made up his mind to watch the joke between Chu Yi and Jian Shuo, Jian Shuo made it clear that he suppressed them, which ultimately made them hold a grudge in their hearts. At this moment, he was telling all his friends about Jian Shuo.
, Chu Yi and the two of them are not.
Chunyu Qiong, Xia Mou and their friends are also well-known people in the capital, so they naturally know the factions among the eight schools in Xiyuan.
If Chunyu Qiong and the others could live in harmony with Jian Shuo and Chu Yi, I'm afraid Liu Hong, as the emperor, would have to consider whether to replace Jian Shuo.
None of these people expected Jian Shuo and Chu Yi to be able to defeat Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and the others in the army. However, now they were listening to Chun Yuqiong complaining to them. Even a fool could realize that Jian Shuo and the others actually
I really put Yuan Shao and Chunyu Qiong together.
Zhao Rong, who was wearing a green shirt, raised his glass to Xia Mou and smiled: "Brother Xia, why bother with the eunuchs? When they find out that they are not the material to lead the army, they will definitely beg Brother Xia to help them."
When the time comes to train troops, they will lose face."
Xia Mou said with a smile: "Yes, the day when the Eight Schools of Xiyuan become an army is the day when Jian Shuo, Chu Yi and others are embarrassed. Don't forget to watch the joke then."
The brothel and restaurant itself is a crowded place, and Chunyu Qiong and the others were hanging around in such a place, clearly wanting to spread the news through this method.
There are not a few people in the capital who pay attention to Xiyuan No. 8 School, but Xiyuan No. 8 School is newly built. No matter how concerned these people are, they have no way. After all, Xiyuan No. 8 School does not even have the manpower now. If they want to
There is no goal in inquiring about information.
What Chunyu Qiong, Xia Mou and others said in Chunxiang Tower made people realize that the open and covert struggle between the major forces above the court continued within the Eighth School of Xiyuan.
Imperial power, relatives, and aristocratic families can be said to be fully displayed in the small Xiyuan Eighth School.
Of course, many people also learned from the words of Chunyu Qiong and the others how Jian Shuo suppressed Chun Yuqiong by limiting the number of soldiers. Yuan Shao and the others made people unable to help but take a high look at Jian Shuo.
No one is optimistic about Jian Shuo.
Because Jian Shuo limited the number of soldiers that each school could recruit, most of the good men who came from the counties in Gyeonggi Province naturally went straight to Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Shao. As for Jian Shuo and Chu Yi, the two schools
The place where we are located can be said to be sparsely populated, and there is no way to compare with the huge crowds of people where Yuan Shao and his friends live.
Jian Shuo was sitting there now, looking at the scene in the distance where Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong were recruiting troops, and then looking at the sparse people in front of him and Chu Yi, he almost exploded with anger.
You must know that even where Cao Cao's school is located, there are many more people running towards him than the two of them. How can this not make Jian Shuo feel angry?
Of course, the most important thing is that Jian Shuo clearly noticed that many people around him seemed to be pointing at them. Jian Shuo was not stupid, so how could he not see that these people were clearly the children of some powerful and aristocratic families in the capital.
Apparently, the news of recruiting troops from the Eighth School of Xiyuan alarmed these people, so much so that they all came over to watch the fun.
If their place was crowded with people like Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and the others, he Jian Shuo would naturally show his face in front of these people. But it is a pity that there are not even a few people here. Doesn't he want to be seen?
Got the joke?
The more he thought about it, the more Jian Shuo, who was sitting there, felt that the eyes looking at him were full of ridicule.
For a moment, Jian Shuo was restless and seemed a little absent-minded. On the contrary, Chu Yi was sitting there like an old monk in meditation, unaffected by the outside world at all.
With a slight cough, Jian Shuo glanced at Chu Yi and whispered: "I'm so angry. Didn't these people see that we are also recruiting troops here?"
Chu Yi glanced at Jian Shuo, chuckled and said, "Isn't this situation expected? We don't have a good reputation among the people. It's already quite difficult for someone to come to our side."
Jian Shuo smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, the number of people is too small. I think Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong have almost finished recruiting, but we have only recruited a few hundred people. If we continue at this rate
If so, I'm afraid if we don't have ten days and a half, we won't even be able to recruit all our men."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi put down the roster he was looking at. Jian Shuo glanced at it and clearly saw some names with traces of outlines on the roster.
Turning his attention to the roster in Chu Yi's hand, Jian Shuo said to Chu Yi curiously: "Chu Yi, are you really planning to recruit people from local counties?"
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Otherwise, Brother Jian, when do you think we will be able to gather so many soldiers?"
Jian Shuo was startled for a moment, then reacted, looked at Chu Yi and said tremblingly: "Chu Yi, you wouldn't have expected such a situation, so you would beg your Majesty to allow us to come from the local counties.
Deploy troops to Beijing."
Chu Yi just shrugged his shoulders. Although he didn't answer directly, in Jian Shuo's view, Chu Yi simply admitted it. For a moment, Jian Shuo looked at Chu Yi with a bit of amazement.
He never thought that Chu Yi would have such wisdom. He just took one step and saw the next.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Shuo showed a rare smile on his face, patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and stood up, saying: "I'll leave it to you to take care of this place. I can tell that I am not the commander of the army at all."
Fortunately, I have you, otherwise, the position of military captain of the Eighth School of Xiyuan would be just a decoration."
At this time, Chun Yuqiong and Xia Mou had almost recruited all the limited quota of more than a thousand soldiers and horses. However, Chun Yuqiong and the others were not paying attention to the soldiers they had selected. Instead, they were looking at Jian from a distance.
Shuo and Chu Yi.
The scene they were most looking forward to appeared. The comparison between the two parties really fulfilled that sentence. Without comparison, there would be no harm.
"Haha, Jian Shuo must be so embarrassed now. Does he really think he can suppress us in this way?"
"Hmph, if Chu Yi, Jian Shuo and the others are unable to recruit all their men in half a month, they will definitely become the laughing stock of the capital. I really look forward to that day coming."
Chunyu Qiong narrowed her eyes and whispered: "Send some more people to pour dirty water on Jian Shuo, Chu Yi and the others privately. We must make sure that those good family members will not choose to join Chu Yi, Jian Shuo and the others."
In fact, under normal circumstances, it would be normal for Jian Shuo and Chu Yi to have such a small number of people. After all, Jian Shuo and Chu Yi represent the imperial court, followed by their status as eunuchs. Those good family members are here for the purpose.
Coming from the name of Xiyuan Eighth School, some people may mind Chu Yi and Jian Shuo's identity, but at least most people don't mind.
Obviously, the reason why this situation occurred was that Chun Yuqiong and others kept pouring dirty water on Chu Yi and Jian Shuo among the good family members who came to Beijing.
Jian Shuo stood up and left, leaving Chu Yi alone to support the scene. However, due to the efforts of Chun Yuqiong and the others, the number of people on Chu Yi's side was always sparse, and gradually no one even wanted to come over.
Already.
If it were Jian Shuo, he would have been furious, but Chu Yi sat there with a calm and calm posture, not affected at all.
However, the ink pen in Chu Yi's hand kept crossing over the roll of names in his hand.
When Chu Yi put down one of the volumes, that volume was Liangzhou Jincheng. In that volume of roster, Chu Yi sketched the names of some soldiers and generals. Among them, the one that impressed Chu Yi was the name.
Although Chu Yi was not sure that this Yan Xing was the Yan Xing who killed Ma Mengqi several times, Chu Yi did not believe that he was born in Jincheng, Liangzhou, and could hold a stable position at this time.
Yan Xing, the leader of the song, could be another person. There are two hundred people in a song. If Yan Xing is Yan Xing, then the soldiers under his direct jurisdiction are not too bad, so Chu Yi
He directly sketched Yan Xing and the soldiers under his command, and transferred them to Beijing.
Picking up another volume next to him, Chu Yi's eyes narrowed. This volume was from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, and a general came into Chu Yi's sight.
Jiuyuan Lu Bu was now serving as a general in the Wuyuan County Army. At the same time, Chu Yi also saw a few familiar names, Gao Shun,
