Yin Mansion, Northguard Prefecture.
In the hall.
Chen Mu looked at Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.?
He knew that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had a knot in their hearts, which was the vanguard army.
Ever since he said he was going to attack the Southern Xiongnu, he hadn't decided on a vanguard because he was worried about their feelings and the feelings of the previous 500 vanguard troops.
In everyone's eyes.
The vanguard army had already become a synonym, an invincible legend.
And that legend was created by him and his people in the Xianbei grassland. Whoever wanted to lead the vanguard had to at least be undefeated.
"Zilong!"
Chen Mu turned to look at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice,"" Zuo Xiaowei of Northguard Prefecture will be the vanguard for this expedition. If you want to be the vanguard, I'll give you a month to prove your ability. If the soldiers trust you and are willing to follow you as the vanguard, I'll let you be the vanguard general!”
"Here!" Zhao Yun shouted.
"Fengxian, Wenyuan, go down and familiarize yourself with the situation. Don't make a big fuss. From now on, you're all comrades who can entrust your lives to me. If I find out that you're bullying the people who come after you, I'll punish you according to military law!”Chen Mu warned.?
"Here!"
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Zhang He replied.
Chen Mu watched as everyone left the hall. He smiled faintly and said,""Sometimes, competition is a good thing. It can spur them forward. Recently, Fengxian's martial arts skills have fallen behind!”
"My lord, you're too considerate of the elderly!" Qiushou said with a faint smile.”
"No way!"
Chen Mu smiled wryly." After all, I've led them to battle in the grasslands for several years. The position of vanguard is not something that an ordinary person can do, especially against nomadic tribes like the Xiongnu and Hu!"?”
Xun You smiled." If Wei Qing didn't have Huo Qubing as the vanguard, he might not have been able to seal Lang Juxu. If the vanguard was chosen correctly, the Xiongnu could have taken him down with a snap of their fingers!”
Chen Mu took a sip of tea and smiled faintly." Gongda has just entered Bing Province. I've appointed you as the chief historian of the Northguard Prefecture. This expedition against the Southern Xiongnu will be a tough battle. You don't have to follow the army. You can rule Bing Province with Ju Shou!"”
"Here!"
Xun You said respectfully.
Chen Mu thought about it and asked,"I heard that there's a person called Xun Wenruo in the Xun Clan. I wonder what kind of talent he has?"?”
Xun You smiled and said," My uncle is more than a hundred times more talented than I am. He Yong, a famous scholar in Nanyang, calls my uncle a talented assistant to the king. However, my grandfather Xun Gun once found a marriage for my uncle. It concerns the constant attendant Tang Heng. In order to avoid criticism, he doesn't go out all year round!”
Chen Mu took a sip of tea and looked at Xun You.""Can you let him come over and help me govern Bing Province?”
Xun You shook his head and smiled bitterly." I'm afraid not. The descendants of the Xun family are not allowed to be officials before they are elected as filial and honest. This is also because every person who appears in front of the world will have a lot of talent. Otherwise, if they go out and ruin the reputation of the Xun family, it will tarnish the name of the Xun ancestor!”
"I forgot!"
"I almost forgot that your Yingchuan Xun family is the descendant of Xun Zi. You must be a genius. I was a little rude to prevent Xun Zi's holy name from being humiliated!”Chen Mu explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.?
In this era, reputation was more important than life.
Especially the descendants of Xun Zi.
They would definitely cherish their feathers even more and would only go out to seek a master after the election of filial piety and honesty.
After all, Ju Xiaolian represented the world's recognition of this person's virtue. Since he was recognized by the world, what else was there to be worried about?
Xun You noticed Chen Mu's unease and immediately said,""My lord, I have a good friend who comes from the Yingchuan Changshe. He is very talented and can write in regular script. I wonder if my lord is willing to invite him here?”
"Good at regular script?"
"Could it be Zhong Yao or Zhong Yuanchang?"
Chen Mu was slightly taken aback. He turned to Xun You and asked.?
Everyone knew of Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms, but they did not know that Zhong Yao was called Xiao He of Wei by Cao Cao. It could be seen that his talent was definitely extraordinary.
Xun You nodded and said," That's right. Yuan Chang and I have known each other since we were young. Both of us were elected as filial and honest officials at the same time. He is also idle at home. If the Lord sees Yuan Chang's talent, I will write a letter to ask him to come over!"”
"Please!"
Chen Mu's face lit up." There's still a long way to go before Bing Province can prosper. We happen to be lacking such talents. If we leave them idle at home and let them be covered in dust, how can we not put them to good use!"”
Xun You bowed slightly and said,"Haha, then I will thank you on behalf of Yuan Chang!"”
"No!"
Chen Mu said solemnly," I should be the one thanking you. There are many things that need to be done in Bing Province right now, and we've even recruited more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. After the expedition next year, Bing Province will be plagued with internal and external troubles. I can only go on the expedition with peace of mind with you around!"”
"I wouldn't dare!"
Xun You and Ju Shou hurriedly rejected.
"Jushou, prepare enough rations!"
Chen Mu stood up and looked at the two of them. He said as if he could swallow mountains and rivers,""On the tenth day of the third month of next year, I will lead ten thousand troops to attack the southern Xiongnu. I will leave the external problems of Bing Province to Wen Yuan, Gao Shun, and Yi Yi.”
"Here!"
Xun You immediately said solemnly,""Don't worry, my lord. I will defend Bingzhou with all my might!”
