Chapter 212

Seeing that Li Yan had said so, Liu Ba stopped persuading him and said, "go home and talk to you about something."

"Good!"

Li Yan responded directly.

He was a little lucky, thanks to Liuba arrived in time, otherwise I don't know what he would be like. But there was also some loss. He hoped that in front of his old friends, he would be all-round, not so down-to-earth.

But the most miserable appearance was seen by Liu ba. Li Yan didn't even have the mind to explore Zhang Xiu's identity at the moment, and didn't speak all the way.

Liu Ba and Zhang Xiu do not speak, in a quiet atmosphere, back home.

When Li saw that her husband was beaten again, he was so anxious that his tears fell like raindrops dropping off the line.

Her heart aches.

Her husband is also a talented person. In order to wait for Liu Biao's arrangement, life is so difficult. Looking at Xiangyang, she said, "we can't stay in other places. With her husband's talent, someone will appreciate her. "

"It's all right!"

Li Yan waved his hand and tried to adjust himself. He asked Li to make tea, then went back to the room, washed his face and changed into a clean and tidy suit.

This suit is the only good one he has left.

The rest of the clothes were pawned.

Li Yan put on his clothes and went out of the room. Li had already made tea and went back to the room.

In the courtyard, Liu Ba, Zhang Xiu and Li Yan sit opposite each other.

Li Yan poured tea for Liu Ba and Zhang Xiu, endured the pain of his body, and slowly said: "the humble house is simple and crude, there is nothing to entertain them. We can only use tea instead of wine. Please forgive me."

His breath returned to stability.

Although Li Yan's family is poor, he has his own bearing.

This is a poetic atmosphere.

It's also a scholar's temperament.

Zhang Xiu takes down the bamboo hat, puts it aside and nods to Deng Zhan not far away. Then she sees that Deng Zhan goes to the gate of the yard to keep watch and keep away.

Li Yan took a look at Zhang Xiu.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiu was wearing a bamboo hat. He didn't know Zhang Xiu, and he didn't know why Liu Ba brought Zhang Xiu.

Li Yan looks at Liu Ba again.

He only knows Liu ba. Liu Ba brings people to him. He is sure that Liu Ba knows things.

Liu Ba opened the door to the mountain and said, "Zhengfang, I've become an official for my brother."

Li Yan was surprised and said, "brother, who do you work for?"

Li Yan knows Liu BA's character. This master is arrogant and ordinary people don't get into Liu BA's eyes.

Liu Babai pointed to Zhang Xiu and said, "this is our Lord, Zhang Xiu, the governor of Nanyang. You have talent, you have the ability to govern. My Lord asked me to lead the way and invite you to be an official. Are you willing to serve the Lord

Li Yan's eyes widened.

Is the person in front of you Zhang Xiu?

It's too young.

When Li Yan was an official in Nanyang County, although he had never seen Zhang Xiu, he had heard of her name since last year. The word Zhang Xiu may have no influence in other places, but in Nanyang County, it is like thunder.

No one does not know Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu first entered Yuyang county and killed Liu PI and Gong Du with a weak force.

Zhang Xiu destroys Deng's family!

Zhang Xiu defeated Wei Yan!

Zhang Xiu killed Xiongnu!

……

One by one, one by one, is known by countless people. In Li Yan's expectation, Zhang Xiu should be at least 27 or 28 years old, young and promising. Unexpectedly, she was only about 20 years old, so she was too young.

In particular, during her short time in Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu developed production, encouraged farmers and businessmen, restored people's livelihood and made people's life prosperous.

This is what Li Yan admires.

Li Yan has his own views on the standards of officials.

He believes that officials, no matter what their reputation, ability or ability to fight, are not the standard of judgment. There is only one criterion to judge whether an official is competent or not, that is, whether the people under his rule are living well or not.

This is the simplest measure.

It is enough for the people under Zhang Xiu to have a good life.

This can be called a good official.

Li Yan fell into his own thoughts. He didn't come back until Liu Ba called him. He looked at Zhang Xiu and said: "I've heard about the name of Zhang Taizhou many times, but I never saw it. It's really a great honor to see the governor today. "

With these words, he stood up in front of Zhang Xiu, folded his hands, bowed 90 degrees, and solemnly said, "I'm sure you'll never give up. I'm willing to urge you."

When the words came out, next to the window in the room, Li heard Li Yan's words when he became an official, and immediately burst into tears.

It's over!

It's finally over!

During this time in Xiangyang, it was a dark day at home. At first, their family was pretty good. Later, the family had no spare money, and it was hard for them to survive. They were ridiculed by many neighbors, and some relatives fell into the well.Fortunately, the child is small and not sensible.

Li was so happy that he wiped the tears off his face and sat down to smile.

Zhang Xiu waved to Li Yan to sit down and said, "Zhengfang, there is still a lack of meritorious Cao under my command. If you work for me, you will take up the position of meritorious Cao and assist my official in handling government affairs. "

"Thank you

Li Yan thanks again.

At the moment, his eyes are hot, and there is a feeling of tears in his eyes.

During his short time in Xiangyang City, he was in trouble and was looking forward to becoming an official and supporting his family. Especially when he was the poorest, he lowered his demands and had the idea of being a county magistrate.

He is willing to do anything.

Now, he got the respect of Zhang Xiu, and was able to work around Zhang Xiu, which is a golden opportunity.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xiu has a bright future.

It's good luck to follow Zhang Xiu.

At this moment, Li Yan felt that he had lived through the most difficult days.

After Li Yan sat down, Zhang Xiu continued: "Zhengfang, you and Zichu go north together and go straight to Yuyang county to find Xu Shu. I will write a letter to let Xu Shu settle you down. "

Zichu is the character of Liuba.

After Liu BA's surrender, Zhang Xiu called Liu Ba Mr. Liu bajian, but Liu bajian never agreed, saying that he was not qualified enough, and let Zhang Xiu address him.

Liu BA was surprised and said, "where's my lord?"

On the way here, he didn't hear Zhang Xiu say the next arrangement. He thought that Zhang Xiu would go north to Yuyang county with him, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was different from them.

"I'll go to Changsha," he said

"Who?" asked Liu ba

Zhang Xiu said, "Huang Zhong!"

Liu Ba shook his head and said, "Huang Zhong is a man who has never heard of his humble position."

Zhang Xiu said: "in addition to Huang Zhong, there are also some people recommended by Kuai Liang. Since we are going south to Xiangyang, we must visit everyone. Now we are in a time of strength expansion, and we are in urgent need of talents. "

Liu Ba said no more, and said: "in that case, I will go north with Zhengfang. Please don't worry, my Lord. I'll take care of the right things. "

Zhang xiudao said, "I'm not worried about having a son for the first time."

Li Yan suddenly interjected: "the Lord mentioned Kuai Liang just now. Is it Kuai liang of the Kuai family in Xiangyang?"

"Yes," said Zhang Xiu

Li Yan said: "the Kuai family helps Liu Biao to establish himself in Jingzhou. The Kuai family is loyal to Liu Biao. How can they recommend talents to the public. Is it true that the Lord has a certain relationship with the Kuai family? "

Zhang Xiu ordered: "yes!"

Li Yan, like Liu Ba before, was also shocked. He did not expect that although Zhang Xiu was only the governor of Nanyang County, even Kuai liang of the Kuai family had accepted him.

Liu Ba said with a light smile: "Zhengfang, you don't know much about the Lord. When we go north, I'll tell you one by one. "

"Good!"

Li Yan answered with a smile.

Although there were bruises on Li Yan's face, there was no more worry in his eyes. He regained his charm and confidence, and his face was full of expectation for the future.

Zhang Xiu was short of time, so she immediately asked Li Yan to bring a pen and paper and write a letter to Liu Ba and Li Yan respectively. She handed them to Xu Shu when they arrived in Yuyang county.

Everything is arranged by Xu Shu.

He said something else that needed to be noticed and left with Deng Zhan.

With Liu Ba, Zhang Xiu doesn't worry about Li Yan.

After Zhang Xiu left, only Liu Ba and Li Yan were left in the yard.

Li Yan's eyes were full of gratitude and said, "brother Zichu, thank you very much. If it were not for your recommendation, I would not be able to get out of the present predicament. "

He will not be arrogant that Kuai Liang will recommend him, because he does not have any fame.

Well known is Liu ba.

Even Liu Biao, a mu in Jingzhou, ordered several times to invite Liu Ba to become an official, but Liu Ba refused one by one. Kuai Liang recommended Liu Ba, and then Liu Ba recommended him to Zhang Xiu.

Liu Ba said with a light smile: "Zhengfang, you and I don't have to thank each other."

Li Yan said: "it's a matter of one sentence for brother Zichu, but it's very different for him. This is the difference between heaven and hell. In a moment, I climbed up from the bottom and never got back to the previous situation. "

With these words, Li Yan got up and bowed himself 90 degrees to thank Liu ba.

Liu Ba knew Li Yan's character. He was quite a noble man. So he didn't refuse. He accepted Li Yan's courtesy, and then ordered Li Yan to pack up and prepare to go north to Yuyang county.
