Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen's face, which was originally proud and complacent, slowly turned into a kind of dust. Then, it turned into this kind of red and purple color, and completely became pale. Everything that Xun Chen could not be proud of was completely scattered by these few words of Yang Chen. Now, it turned into a kind of bitter smile.
"If so, it's Xun Chen's wishful thinking. Yes, I'm a loser. How could His Majesty fall in love with me? How could he come to Youzhou Province especially for a loser like me?" Xun Chen replied. Xun Chen's face was full of bitter smiles. He suddenly remembered a comment that Xu Shao had made about him. That was, among the Xun Family's five heroes, Xun You's talent was a talent to be proud of. If he was a talent, then he would be a waste. In the past, Xun Chen had never cared about this sentence. Instead, he regarded his pride as the greatest help because his Xun Family was born to be a noble. How could a noble be compared to those lowly commoners?
In addition, Xun Chen helped Yuan Shao to take the land of Jizhou. After that, Yuan Shao did not disappoint him and became the overlord of Hebei. This made Xun Chen's pride even deeper. He looked down on Tian Feng and Ju Shou who came from poor families. Therefore, Xun Chen always disdained to participate in the strategies that Tian Feng and Ju Shou said. In his opinion, things like studying could only be done by noble people like the gentry. How could a group of poor children be on equal footing with them?
Therefore, Xun Chen had never cooperated with Tian Feng and Ju Shou. He even fought with them. The only good thing that Xun Chen's arrogance brought him was that he did not join either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang. Otherwise, his arrogance would have brought him a fatal disaster.
Xun Chen's face was already screaming. Yang Chen knew that Xun Chen's heart was like dead ashes. If he continued to speak, Xun Chen might really not be able to return to Yangzhou.
"Xun Chen's goods, haha!" Xun Chen laughed and said to Yang Chen, "Yang Daren, please go back and tell His Highness King of Shu that Xun Chen can't go to Yangzhou." Xun Chen was already full of ashes. He was on the warship, so he headed to the deck over there. Xun Chen had no desire to live.
"Lord Yang?" The deputy envoy at the side was anxious. They had come this time to find these talents left behind by Yuan Shao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to their lord, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. Even if Xun Chen died, he had to die in Yangzhou. He had to die after getting off the ship. If he died on the road or committed suicide, this would be their sin. They could not afford to bear it. The deputy envoy could not help but complain about Yang Chen. ,
"Hehe, let him go, go, go!" Yang Chen didn't stop Xun Chen at all. He even stopped the people who wanted to save Xun Chen.
"Yang Chen Daren, thank you!" Xun Chen nodded and thanked Yang Chen. Since he couldn't live with dignity, then he would die with dignity. Just as Xun Chen was bored to death and was about to end his failed life, Yang Chen's words came out again.
"No wonder Xun Chen's talent can't be of great use. Die, die. Wait for Mr. Xun Chen to jump into the sea and commit suicide. After that, we will set up a monument here. On it, it will say that Xun Chen's talent is not as good as Tian Feng's. He is ashamed to commit suicide here!" Yang Chen's words were incomparably plain, but in Xun Chen's mind, they were more vicious than the most poisonous venom in the world.
"Yang Chen, you!" Xun Chen waited for a pair of eyes to look at Yang Chen. If he really died here, it would be difficult for Yang Chen to set up a monument here. Then, Xun Chen would really be famous, and even the Xun family would be famous. Xun Chen thought that perhaps after thousands of years, he would be laughed at for thousands of years and leave a bad reputation.
"Yang Chen, can't I even die?" Xun Chen stared at Yang Chen. It was fine if Yang Chen humiliated the living, but he didn't even let the dead go.
"Sure! Mr. Xun Chen, help yourself! " Yang Chen waved his hand and said to Xun Chen. Yang Chen even shouted to his subordinates beside him, "Come, make way. Let Mr. Xun Chen commit suicide. Mister, the water is deep. If you don't have a navy that is good at hydrology, it will be difficult to save you." Yang Chen enthusiastically introduced the way to die to Xun Chen, "Or Mister, we can wear good silk cloth. You can take it and hang it on this suspension beam. You will die very quickly, but it may be a little painful. This may not matter to Mister. Anyway, you are not even afraid of death, so you don't care about this pain. Or we have a saber here. You can stab Mo Yidao on your neck? "Yang Chen's words made Xun Chen feel ashamed.
What did the ancients care about? A military general might be simple, which was to make a name for himself, but a civil official was much more complicated. He might want to be famous all over the world, or he might want to help the world, or he might want to worry about the world and hope that his talent would be used by the Emperor's family. However, in the end, it was to have a name in history. No one wanted to be a person who would be infamous for ten thousand years.
This Xun Chen was indeed not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his reputation would be ruined after he died. That would be worse than death.
"Yang Chen, what do you want?" Xun Chen couldn't stand it anymore and asked Yang Chen. He didn't expect that he, Xun Chen, would fall into the hands of a young man.
Hearing Xun Chen's words, Yang Chen smiled. If it was a strategy, then Yang Chen would not be Xun Chen's opponent. Even if it was governing a place, Yang Chen was also not Xun Chen's opponent. However, in terms of running people, hehe, then Yang Chen was really at the level of Xun Chen's ancestor. Who asked his father, Yang Hong, to be such a master of running people? With a smile, he would make a mess of you, and even make you unable to die.
"If Mr. Xun Chen really wants to die without any scruples, you can. Return our money to us," Yang Chen said to Xun Chen.
"What money?" Xun Chen asked subconsciously.
"Naturally, it's the money for your Yangzhou swords!" Yang Chen said to Xun Chen.
"Just a few hundred Yangzhou swords?" Xun Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether to say that Yang Chen was good or that Xun Chen was worthless. "Lord Yang Chen, I'll write a letter for you. Go to Xudu and find my younger brother, Xun You. He'll give you the money!"
"Really?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"Naturally!" Xun Chen nodded. Although he didn't have the face to go back to the Xun family, he was still a member of the Xun family after all. The Xun family was still willing to pay for these hundreds of Yangzhou swords.
"Alright, write it! Come, send the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to our Mr. Xun Chen. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can send Mr. Xun Chen on his way. " Yang Chen had a philistine look on his face, which made Xun Chen extremely disgusted. However, it was not bad to be able to free himself.
Therefore, after Xun Chen got the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, he immediately inked on the paper. Soon, an IOU was written.
Xun Chen finished writing and handed it to Yang Chen. Yang Chen picked it up and nodded. He waved at Xun Chen and said, "Alright, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die now." Yang Chen was very casual, which made Xun Chen's heart burn with anger. However, he was about to die now, so why did he care about these things? Therefore, Xun Chen nodded and walked to the deck. He looked at the vast sea and took a deep breath. People, when they were about to die, they seemed to have thought about everything.
Farewell to the world, farewell to the Xun family, farewell to the great general. Xun Chen had already taken one foot out. As long as he took another foot out, it would really be a farewell of life and death.
However, just as the Xun family was about to say goodbye to all the troubles in this world, Yang Chen's loud voice suddenly shouted again, "Wait, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!"
"En?" Xun Chen turned his head to look at Yang Chen and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xun Chen, this IOU is wrong!" Yang Chen pointed at the IOU in his hand and said.
"What's wrong?" Xun Chen suppressed his anger and asked Yang Chen over there.
"You haven't written the signature yet. There's no seal or autograph of yours. Who knows if this is true!" Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen over there as if he wanted to renege on the debt.
Alright, I'll endure it. Xun Chen suppressed his anger and took back the foot that had already stepped out. He asked someone to bring his package over and took out his seal from the package. On the IOU.., he stamped his seal and signed his name.
"Alright, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die now!" Hearing Yang Chen's words, Xun Chen had the urge to strangle him to death. However, he still endured it. Farewell to the world, farewell to the Xun family, farewell to the great general. Xun Chen had already taken one foot out. As long as he took another foot out.., it would really be a farewell of life and death. He was about to die, so it didn't matter.
"Wait, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!"
Yang Chen over there called out again. "What's wrong now?" Xun Chen turned his head to look at Yang Chen over there and asked.
"Mr. Xun Chen, you didn't write down the year and month. What if the Xun family doesn't admit it? What if they say that I forged it? "Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen innocently.
Alright, I'll endure it. Xun Chen took back his foot and took the IOU from Yang Chen's hand. He wrote on the IOU that it was the year of Jian 'an and gave it to Yang Chen.
"Alright, Mr. Xun Chen, you can die now." Yang Chen nodded.
Farewell to the world, farewell to the Xun family, farewell to the great general. Xun Chen had already taken one foot out. As long as he took another foot out, it would really be a farewell of life and death.
"Wait, Mr. Xun Chen, you can't die yet!" Yang Chen's loud voice sounded again.
Damn it, even a clay figurine has a temper. I just want to die, I want to die. Why is it so difficult, so difficult. Xun Chen was about to cry. He was not prepared to pay attention to Yang Chen over there and was about to die.
"Mr. Xun Chen, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't come back, I'll really set up a monument here. Even our Lord might write to Xu Du and ask for the position of Marquis for Mr. Xun Chen. What should I call it? Sullen Marquis? Reneging on a debt? "Yang Chen muttered to himself over there.
"You're the Marquis, your whole family is the Marquis!" Xun Chen finally couldn't hold it in and shouted loudly. This Yang Chen had grasped his life, that was Xun Chen's reputation.
"That's right!" Yang Chen smiled and handed over the IOU.
"What's wrong now?" Xun Chen had the urge to strangle Yang Chen to death. "The seal, time, and signature are all correct. What exactly do you want?"
"Sir, those are not bad, but the number of this money is wrong!" Yang Chen said to Xun Chen over there.
"The number is wrong?" Xun Chen looked at the IOU in confusion. It said that Xun Chen owed His Highness Liu Mang, the King Of Shu of Yangzhou, three thousand gold.
"It's not three thousand gold!" Yang Chen shook his head and said to Xun Chen.
"Then how much is it? I'll write it down! "Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen with disdain. This person was really too greedy. It was difficult for him to achieve great things.
He, Xun Chen, disdained to associate with such a villain.
"It's this number!" As he said that, Yang Chen raised six fingers.
"Six thousand gold, good, insatiable!" Although Xun Chen felt that six thousand gold was a little too much, he still modified the IOU and changed the three thousand gold to six thousand gold. After writing it and stamping it, he wrote the date and taught it to Yang Chen.
"Can I die now?" Xun Chen asked Yang Chen. Xun Chen had made up his mind. He would definitely die later. Even if Yang Chen caused trouble again, he, Xun Chen, would not care.
"Not yet!" Yang Chen shook his head. Yang Chen directly rejected Xun Chen.
"Why?" Xun Chen was really angry. He waited for Yang Chen. "Could it be that I, Xun Chen, can't even die? I don't believe that you, Yang Chen, can stop me."
"Hehe, of course I can't stop you, Mr. Xun Chen, but you don't even pay back the money you owe. A person like you is really untrustworthy. The Xun family only has one person like you! It's simply a joke! " Yang Chen didn't give Xun Chen any face at all.
"You're not allowed to insult the Xun family!" Although Xun Chen had no face to return to the Xun family, he didn't allow outsiders to humiliate him.
"Then pay back the money!" Yang Chen didn't give in at all.
"I've already given you the six thousand gold you want. What else do you want!" Xun Chen shouted at Yang Chen.
"Six thousand gold, hehe, Mr. Xun Chen, are you trying to send a beggar away?" Yang Chen also sneered and said to Xun Chen. Which beggar could get six thousand gold?
"Then how much do you want!" Xun Chen finally knew that Yang Chen was really a philistine. Didn't he just want money?
"I only want a friendship price, sixty thousand gold!" Yang Chen stretched out six fingers and said to Xun Chen.
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Could it be that the people under His Highness the King Of Shu are all such arrogant people? Sixty thousand gold for those hundreds of battle swords? Why don't you rob them? "Xun Chen finally couldn't hold it in and shouted at Yang Chen. Sixty thousand gold? How could the Xun family take out so much money? Even if they could take it out, they wouldn't teach it for Xun Chen alone.
"Rob? Hehe, as expected, when a person is about to die, he doesn't want his face anymore! " Yang Chen also sneered, "Let me tell you, Xun Chen, that's not hundreds of battle swords, that's a thousand battle swords. A thousand high-quality battle swords made by our Yangzhou, and the price of each one is more than sixty gold. I only gave you such a price because the Xun family is an aristocratic family. I, Yang Chen, won't frame you. As long as you return this money, you can choose whether you want to die or live. Even if you want to get off the boat, I'll immediately have my warship send you to the shore."
"En?" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen's expression and attitude. His heart was a little shaken, but he still sneered, "I'd like to see what kind of battle swords are worth sixty gold. Could it be a treasured sword?"
"Lord Yang Chen, do you want to give you time to find these two treasured swords?" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen coldly. He wanted to expose Yang Chen's words. Yang Chen definitely couldn't take out such a battle sword. Perhaps he could find one or two real treasured swords to deceive him?
"No need! You want the battle swords? It's so simple. Men, pull out your battle swords for me! "Yang Chen shouted to his personal guards.
"Yes!" Yang Chen's personal guards were ordered to pull out their battle swords one by one. Cold light shot out in all directions.
"What? Are you, Yang Chen, so angry that you want to kill me to silence me? " Xun Chen sneered. He, Xun Chen, was really not afraid of death. If he was chopped to death here, it would save him from committing suicide.
"Silence? Hehe, Mr. Xun Chen, you think too highly of yourself. Didn't you want to see the battle swords? Come, I'll show you. Men, bring the battle swords to Xun Chen!" Yang Chen ordered the people under him.
"Yes!" Clang, clang, clang. A pile of battle swords was thrown on the deck, making a crisp sound.
"These are?" Xun Chen looked at Yang Chen in confusion.
"Please!" Yang Chen waved his hand.
Xun Chen took out a battle sword from the ground and picked it up. Looking at the cold light on the battle sword, he couldn't help but nod his head. It was indeed a good sword, but no matter how good it was, it couldn't reach sixty gold per sword.
This battle sword indeed didn't have sixty gold per sword, but you have to know that the cost price in Yangzhou was five gold. If it was outside, it would be more than that, because these battle swords were all poured directly from molten iron. They were stronger than the battle swords that blacksmiths hammered thousands of times. Because blacksmiths had to go through a long period of time from grinding the sword embryo to hammering hundreds of times, a good battle sword was rare. It was normal for one to be worth dozens of gold or hundreds of gold. Liu Mang let the blacksmiths skip the process of casting the sword embryo and directly hammering hundreds of times, so the efficiency of this work was not just a little bit.
As for the iron ore in ancient times, if it was burned like before, the iron ore that was produced would not be completely burned. The weapons that were made would naturally be brittle. Although they could still kill people, they were much worse than those that were directly poured. This is the reason why Liu Mang's saber was sold for 60 gold and there were still people fighting over it.
"Bring me my sword!" Xun Chen couldn't see the benefits of the battle sword, just like good things needed to be compared. Xun Chen wanted them to bring his sword for comparison.
The guards on the side looked at Yang Chen. Without Yang Chen's words, no one dared to go down and bring Xun Chen a sword. Yang Chen nodded, and the people below dared to go. Soon, Xun Chen's sword was brought over.
Xun Chen pulled out his own sword. Xun Chen's sword was also good. The people of the Xun family spent hundreds of gold to hire an old blacksmith to forge a sword with meteoric iron. Of course, this sword in Xun Chen's hands had more symbolic meaning than the use, so it fell into Xun Chen's hands.
Xun Chen took the sword that was tempered thousands of times and compared it with these battle swords.
Suddenly, Xun Chen took his sword and slashed at the battle sword several times in a row, making the Yangzhou soldiers on the side feel heartache. This battle sword was their second life.
"Dang!" There was no doubt that the sword was directly cut and cracked. The splashing fragments of the weapon even hurt Xun Chen's face, and blood flowed down Xun Chen's face.
However, Xun Chen didn't care about wiping it. He looked at the scene in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. Although the battle sword in his hand was also chipped, the battle sword could still kill people.
His well-tempered treasured sword that he had bought with a hundred gold coins had actually lost to this battle saber. If it was any other day, when those ordinary battle sabers and Xun Chen looked at each other, the battle saber would definitely be chipped, and the treasured sword would be intact. But now …
"Impossible!" Xun Chen didn't believe it. He picked up another battle sword and slashed at the broken sword. It was the same result. Xun Chen's face destroyed three or four battle swords. When the Yangzhou soldiers were distressed and wanted to kill this middle-aged man, he finally figured out one thing. That was, these battle swords were all treasured swords. They were all weapons that were tempered thousands of times.
His longsword used the ending of his body to tell Xun Chen this fact. Xun Chen's sword was worth hundreds of gold, so this battle sword that could break Xun Chen's sword was naturally even more expensive.
Sixty gold! This was really a friendship price.
"How is it, Mr. Xun Chen? I, Yang Chen, didn't lie to you! Return the money. As long as you return the money, then whether you, Mr. Xun Chen, live or die, it has nothing to do with our Yangzhou army. "Yang Chen said to Xun Chen.
"A thousand battle swords, that's sixty thousand gold? Hehe. "Xun Chen suddenly laughed bitterly. The expression on his face was complicated. One of them was bitterness. Because this way, he wouldn't die. At least, he couldn't afford to die. Sixty thousand gold. He, Xun Chen, wouldn't be worth that much even if he sold himself. So, his life was really in the hands of the Yangzhou army. However, Xun Chen also had a kind of joy. That was, his talent could actually be sold for more than ten thousand gold. It was even sixty thousand gold. This made Xun Chen feel a little gratified. Even his younger brothers and nephews didn't have this price.
"The lord is buying bones with a thousand gold!" Yang Chen looked at Xun Chen and said. Yang Chen's eyes were also complicated. One was contempt for Xun Chen, because this person wanted to die at every turn and was so arrogant. He was afraid of losing face and didn't even go back to the Xun family. He couldn't face his own failure. But there was also envy. Sixty thousand gold, when could he, Yang Chen, be worth this much?
"Buying bones with a thousand gold?!" Xun Chen also muttered to himself. He naturally understood Yang Chen's words. He had heard the story of buying bones with a thousand gold when he was young. Hundreds of years ago, when this land was still in the Warring States Period, there was civil strife in the Yan Kingdom. The nearby Qi Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops and invaded part of the Yan Kingdom's territory.
After the Yan Zhao King became the king, he eliminated the civil strife and was determined to recruit talented people in the world, revitalize the Yan Kingdom, and take back the lost land. Although the Yan Zhao King had such a call, not many people came to him. Therefore, the Yan Zhao King went to a person named Guo Qiang to ask how to get a virtuous person.
Guo Qiang told the Yan Zhao King a story, saying that there was once a king who was willing to buy a fine horse with a thousand gold. But three years later, the fine horse still couldn't be bought. One of the monarch's subordinates, who wasn't famous, volunteered to buy a fine steed, and the monarch agreed. It took this person three months to find out that a certain family had a good horse. However, by the time he arrived at this house, the horse was already dead. Therefore, he bought the horse's bones with 500 gold and went back to offer them to the king. The king looked at the horse bones that were bought at a very expensive price and was very unhappy. However, the person who bought the horse bones said that he did this to let the world know that the king sincerely wanted to buy the horse at a high price and was not deceiving others. Sure enough, in less than a year, someone sent over many fine horses.
After Guo Qiang finished the story, he said to the Yan Zhao King, "If the king really wants to get talents, you have to be like the king who bought the fine horse and let the world know that you are sincerely seeking talents. "You can start with me first. When people see that a person like me can be put in an important position, people who are more talented than me will come to you." The Yan Zhao King thought that it made sense, so he took Guo Qiang as his master and even gave him a generous salary. He also asked him to build the "Golden Platform" as a place to recruit talents from all over the world. Not long after the news spread, some talented and famous people came one after another, expressing their willingness to help the Yan Zhao King govern the country. After more than 20 years of hard work, the Yan Kingdom finally became strong and prosperous. They finally defeated the Qi Kingdom and took back the occupied land.
When Xun Chen found out about this story, he was once envious. If anyone could treat him, Xun Chen, as a thousand-mile horse, he, Xun Chen, would definitely do his best to assist him and help his lord solve his problems. He would definitely not let him down.
But now that it had become true, Xun Chen did not dare to accept it.
"Xun Chen, Xun Chen." Xun Chen shook his head and suddenly knelt down in front of Yang Chen. This kneeling was naturally not to Yang Chen, but to the south where Yang Chen stood. That was the direction of the Central Plains, and now the overlord of the Central Plains was the King Of Shu, Liu Mang.
"How can Xun Chen be so appreciated by His Highness? Xun Chen is not worthy, not worthy!" Xun Chen suddenly cried out loudly. This kind of depression was unimaginable to ordinary people. He, Xun Chen, was proud. He, Xun Chen, was talented and proud, but the lord he was proud of, Yuan Shao, lost in a complete mess. But he, Xun Chen, had no way, which made Xun Chen have doubts about his own ability. After that, under Yang Chen's repeated attacks, Xun Chen's proud heart was completely shattered. And now, he learned that His Highness, the King Of Shu, who had never met before, actually took out sixty thousand gold to buy him, Xun Chen. What was called a monarch better than an army of one hundred thousand? If this army of one hundred thousand was calculated according to a mixed brand, sixty thousand gold could really form an army of one hundred thousand.
And now, Liu Mang treated him, Xun Chen, with such an army of one hundred thousand. How could Xun Chen not be moved? The monarch treated him as a country knight, so he must exchange it with a country knight. Xun Chen no longer had the anger of being treated as goods. Even Xun Chen had a kind of guilt in his heart. That was, His Highness, the King Of Shu, treated him like a loser, a loser. What kind of things should he take to repay His Highness, the King Of Shu?
"Mr. Xun Chen, to be honest, I, Yang Chen, am really jealous of Mister! Sixty thousand gold, hehe, when can I, Yang Chen, have such wealth! "Yang Chen helped Xun Chen up and said to Xun Chen with a wry smile.
"However, Yang Chen really admires Mister's talent. In three words, you helped Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu to take Ji Zhou. Such a merit is already worth ten thousand gold." Yang Chen comforted Xun Chen. Indeed, according to Ji Zhou, this Xun Chen helped Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu to take Ji Zhou without bloodshed. He even annexed the troops left behind by the original Ji Zhou's governor, Han Fu. It could be said that his own strength rose sharply. This allowed Yuan Shao to have a future in Hebei, and it was possible for him to be able to fight with Gongsun Zan for a while.
"Mr. Xun Chen, you have a lot of talent. What you lack is a lord who knows how to use talent. Horses of a thousand miles are common, but Bo Le is not common!" Yang Chen's words cheered Xun Chen up.
Yes! I, Xun Chen, am also one of the Xun Family's five heroes. If it wasn't for me, Xun Chen, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, wouldn't have been able to take Ji Zhou. Without the foundation of Ji Zhou, Hebei wouldn't have been able to rise.
"Mr. Xun Chen, are you really willing to be under others?" Yang Chen was beating Xun Chen's fighting spirit again. "The Xun Family's five heroes, Xun Yu and Xun You, are already Cao Cao's confidants. They are in a high position. When Cao Cao takes back Hebei, he will be the overlord of Hebei. As an elder brother, are you worse than your younger brother and nephew? Do you really have the heart to let the world only know Xun You and Xun Yu, but not Xun Chen? "Yang Chen completely provoked Xun Chen's fighting spirit.
"I, I, I don't want to!" How could Xun Chen think that the world only knew his younger brother and nephew, but not his elder brother? No matter what, he was the head of the Xun Family's five heroes. If he was gone like this, the world would really only know that the Xun Family had Xun You and Xun Yu, but not Xun Chen. Xun Chen's thoughts were not bad, but he still had sufficient doubts about himself. After all, he had lost before. "Is it really possible for me? If I have this ability, do I have this opportunity? "
"Don't worry, Mr. Xun Chen. As long as you have the ability, then there will be a position for you in this world sooner or later!" Yang Chen comforted Xun Chen on the side. "Does Mr. Xun know about the recruitment order?"
"Recruitment order?" Xun Chen asked doubtfully. When Liu Mang issued the recruitment order, Liu Mang had just taken down Lujiang. It was only a county, and the other places were barren. At that time, Yuan Shao was the lord of Hebei. Xun Chen was also in a high position, so he naturally looked down on such a small character like Liu Mang, the King Of Shu. Later, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, slowly became the lord of a province. Later, he occupied a place in the southern region of the Central Plains. It could be said that he was a rare marquis in the world. No one would have thought that the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, would develop so quickly. Even the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, himself did not expect it.
"En, recruitment order!" Yang Chen explained the meaning of the recruitment order to Xun Chen. As long as you think you have the ability, then you can go to Yangzhou. No matter if you are from a noble family or a poor family, we only look at your ability. If you have the ability to be a county magistrate, then we will give you the position of county magistrate. If you can be a governor, then we will give you the position of governor. If you can govern a province, Liu Mang will not be stingy.
"How can it be!" Xun Chen did not believe it. Basically, all the places that the Vassal Kings governed depended on one's qualifications. If you were born in a great noble family, then for the sake of your father, you would be given a good official position. If you were from a humble family, then you would have to slowly endure, unless you were really outstanding. Most of the official positions were still given to the noble family.
Liu Mang actually said that if you have the ability, then you will go. This was not making the noble family jump to death. Liu Mang was provoking the noble family.
"Noble family? Haha! " Yang Chen disdainfully curled his lips. His Highness the King Of Shu was really not afraid of these noble families. When he was in Lujiang, Liu Mang killed basically all the noble families in Lujiang's Wancheng City. After that, in Jiangdong, those rebellious noble families were also caught and beheaded one by one. In the hands of Liu Mang, there were at least ten thousand noble families.
"Mr. Xun Chen, as long as you have the ability, our Lord will definitely use you, or even put you in an important position!" Yang Chen said good words for Liu Mang, and even brought out the matter of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Liu Mang's promise to Sun Ce was that he would get a big reward. If he defeated a kingdom, then he would be a noble.
When Yang Chen said this, Xun Chen completely could not help but go to Yangzhou. He could not help but want to see His Highness the King Of Shu.
Looking at Xun Chen's appearance, Yang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Mr. Xun Chen could not escape. He was really tied to the warship of Yangzhou.
