July twelve.

Since leaving Juancheng, Chen Fei rushed to Yingchuan County without stopping, and there was no delay along the way except for accommodation and rest.

The scenery has been seen enough, and time has begun to become precious.

From Jiyin to the south, passing through Liang and Chen states. To be fair, in these two Han vassal states, both the public security situation and the livelihood of the people seemed to be inferior to Juancheng.

He entrusted Jia Xu to teach and Chen Fei had a general understanding that in the context of the chaos in the Central Plains, King Liang and King Chen still made achievements. Although they were not able to raise troops to Beijing to serve the king, they were at least able to clean up the troops and maintain the relative stability of the fiefdom. Especially King Chen Liu Chong, who used his reputation and appeal to gather a large number of refugees, and even once occupied 100,000 people.

From Chen State to Yingchuan, Chen Fei's first stop was Yingyin County, the old base of Xun's family.

The Xun family is the most famous clan in Yingyin County and even Yingchuan County. Chen Fei found their location effortlessly.

The Xun family has been passed down for more than a hundred years. It was known as the "Eight Dragons of Xun Family" decades ago. In the next generation, it was even more lush and full of people. It is no exaggeration to say that at least one-fifth of the manors and land in Yingyin County belongs to the Xun family.

According to the villagers' guidance, Chen Fei arrived at the most magnificent house and knocked on the quaint door:

"The Minister of the Han Dynasty and the Right Fufeng Man Chen Fei specially visited the head of the Xun family, and reported it to you."

The doorman glanced at the famous thorn in his hand, but did not take it, but said politely:

"The head of the family is sick and will not be able to receive distinguished guests. Please understand."

Chen Fei was not surprised that he was just a little minister and had never had a trace of fame. How could the head of the Xun family be received casually?

He handed out Xun Yu's letter of recommendation:

"There is also a handwritten letter from Sima Xun Wenruo from the east of Yanzhou Town. I have troubled me to report to the head of the Xun family."

Sure enough, when he heard that his family was referring to him, the wardrobe's attention was greatly increased. He took it with both hands and rushed into the inner courtyard. But after a moment, he returned again, and his attitude became even more polite:

"The head of the family invites the distinguished guest to move to the main hall."

-

Before entering the main hall, the incense, bamboo and ink fragrance came to your face.

The most well-known person of the Xun family in Yingchuan is of course Xun Yu, a young and famous "king and master", and the second-ranked one is his nephew Xun You. However, the current leader of the Xun family is Xun Yue, who is the eldest son of the eldest son. Compared with his clan's brother, he has almost no presence.

Compared to Xun Yu's gentleness and jade, his cousin is more beautiful and handsome. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he still exudes the aura of a handsome man.

Even Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and quickly bowed his head and bowed:

"A later student Chen Fei, pay a visit to Mr. Xun."

Xun Yue is 46 years old, and there is nothing wrong with being respected as "public" in this era. He did not show off his promise, and returned the ceremony, so he sat down with him:

"Your Excellency comes from Juancheng, how can you please me?"

Chen Fei nodded:

"The great victory of Cao Yanzhou in the east was that Mr. Wen Ruo lived in the rear to dispatch it, which was Xiao He's contribution."

Xun Yue's expression was as usual:

"Can you explain this battle in detail?"

Of course Chen Fei knows everything:

"Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian killed Cao Yanzhou's father, the old Grand Marshal Cao, and Cao Cao was furious and led a large army to attack Xuzhou. In just over a month, he captured Pengcheng and Langya counties, killing more than 10,000 enemies, and shaking the Central Plains. However... there are often massacres wherever Cao's army passed. I heard Mr. Wen Ruo say that during this battle, no less than 100,000 people died in war."

Xun Yue showed unbearable expression on his face:

"The father's revenge is irreconcilable, and Tao Gongzu may deserve to die, but what are the people's crimes? Cao Mengde sent troops to slaughter more than 100,000 troops, and it was a mistake!"

Chen Fei lowered his eyes slightly:

"Mr. Wen Ruo has sent a letter to advise him. Governor Cao has always been humble and accepted advice. Mr. Xun should not be too worried."

Xun Yue shook his head slowly:

"I am humble and accepting advice? Cao Mengde is definitely not such a person! Although I and him have no old friendship, they know that they are cruel and decisive, and they must not be speculated by ordinary people... it's just!"

He suddenly sighed, and the tone changed:

"I was a rural man, but I had no intention of national affairs for a long time, so I shouldn't be angry today. The letter mentioned in the letter that you are interested in studying in the Central Plains, but I am not talented. I have been studying classics for more than 30 years and dare not claim to be proficient. I only have some experience. If you do not abandon me, I will give it to you all."

He waved his hand, and a servant took down dozens of bamboo slips from the bookshelf beside him and placed them neatly in front of Chen Fei.

Looking at the book Jian that weighed 100 pounds, Chen Fei felt his throat dry, and he hurriedly bowed to thank him, and then... he escaped in a panic with his bamboo slip on his back.

Fortunately, he still has a spare mount, otherwise he would have thrown these bulky "learning experience" directly into the stinky ditch on the side of the road!

He only looked through half of Xun Yue's experience and came to a conclusion:

Xun Yu's elder brother may be a historian, writer, political critic, educator, or even philosopher, but he must not be a qualified politician and manager!

-

Chen Fei, who left Yingyin, encountered a problem:

The official road in front of me was divided into a fork, leading to Yangdi to the northwest, Changshe to the north, and Xuxian to the east.

The three destinations are Guo, Zhong and Chen, both of which are famous local families.

However, without any hesitation, Chen Fei directly urged his horse to rush to the northwest.

The reason is simply too simple: as a modern person who relies on games to learn historical knowledge, for Chen Fei, Guo Jia is a sr card, while Zhong Yao and Chen Qun... Sorry, most krypton gold mobile games may not have these two characters at all!

What's more, Chen Fei, as the Minister of the Shangshu, happened to know... Zhong Yao and Chen Qun are not in their hometowns now.

These two outstanding representatives of the younger generation of scholars are currently assisting Liu Xie in Chang'an City - they are both Huangmen Ministers, and Chen Qun's father Chen Ji even served as the Shangshu Ling, but under the pressure of Li Jue, there is not much real power.

Yang Di soon appeared in front of Chen Fei.

Compared to the Xun family, the houses and land are connected by the world. The Guo family is obviously much poorer, so Chen Fei asked more than a dozen villagers before he could find his destination.

According to Jia Xu's introduction, although the Guo family in Yangdi is not as glorious as the three emperors of the four generations, there are twenty or thirty officials who have served in the past hundred years. They are called "official families" and "famous families" are not exaggerated. However, in this generation, elders died of old age and illness and battle, while young people have to devote themselves to troubled times before they have fully grown up. Only Guo Tu, the counselor under Yuan Shao, is known to the world.

Chen Fei knocked on the door for a long time before an old man came out tremblingly:

"Is there something wrong with the guest?"

Chen Fei learned his lesson and handed him his famous sect and Xun Yu's recommendation:

"I'm so worried about it. I'm Chen Fei, the Minister of the Court, and was recommended by Xun Wenruo. I'm here to visit Mr. Guo Fengxiao."

The old doorman glanced at him, but shook his head:

"It's really unfortunate that my young master has been traveling to the East for three months. I don't know when I will be able to return home. I'll ask the guests to come back another day."

Chen Fei's mouth twitched slightly and took back the recommendation:

"Since that's the case, please leave this name to Mr. Fengxiao."

"Old servant obeys the order."

The doorman took it with both hands, then bowed slightly, turned his head and closed the door.

Looking at the tall but somewhat dilapidated gate of the Guo Mansion, Chen Fei felt a little disappointed.

He had long known that even if he had Xun Yu's handwritten recommendation letter, he would not easily win over the talented and talented men in Yingchuan, but he did not expect that the reality was too different from his expectations.
