Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 61 Zhang Miao is rude
As you enter Chenliu County, a strong and passionate martial spirit hits you like a surging tide.

On the wide bluestone streets, warriors with swords can be seen everywhere.

Most of them stood tall and straight, taking steady and powerful steps. The swords on their waists gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight.

When they meet on the street and have a disagreement after a few words, they will resort to fighting and risk their lives.

Ji Qiu was walking on the street, and in just the time it took to stick up an incense stick, he encountered three fights, and the scenes were quite bloody.

"This is really full of vitality!" Ji Qiu exclaimed.

No wonder Cao Cao started from Chenliu and was able to sweep the world in the future.

The martial spirit of Chenliu is so strong that it will surely provide excellent sources of troops.

It is indeed a great place for princes to start their careers!
Especially since it is right next to Yingchuan County, which is known for its flourishing literary style.

One civil and one military are here.

Cao Cao occupied these two counties when he started out. It really was a blessing in disguise!

However, at such a time, only Cao Cao is qualified to occupy it.

Both counties are located in the heart of the Central Plains and have no strategic locations to defend.

From the perspective of conquering the world, it is definitely not a good place to start.

Only with Cao Cao's connections, means, scheming and abilities could these two places be preserved.

"The main street of the county town is in such a state of chaos, it's clear that the governor here is incompetent.

With such a governor in Chenliu County, I'm afraid this prosperity won't last much longer!" Xi Zhong shook his head.

He was not a follower of the Legalists and did not advocate harsh laws, but he knew the importance of the law.

If the laws of a place lose their dignity, it will fall into chaos.

Chaos will not produce any benefits, it will only lead a place to rapid decline.

"The governor here? Zhang Miao? He's definitely incompetent!"

Ji Qiu thought about the historical records about Zhang Miao and nodded in agreement.

But then he smiled and said, “But this is a good thing.

The less capable he is, the less he cares about Dian Wei.

Then the more I ask him for Dian Wei's plan, the more likely it is to succeed!"

"My lord, what you said makes sense!" Xizhong nodded in agreement.

The purpose of Ji Qiu and Xi Zhong entering Chenliu City today was for Dian Wei.

They had already found out in advance that Dian Wei was currently a sergeant in Zhang Miao's personal army.

This was almost Zhang Miao's private property.

According to the rules of the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms, other people cannot recruit soldiers from other people's personal army at will.

The consent of the commander-in-chief of the army must be obtained.

So Ji Qiu decided to visit Zhang Miao.

He is currently the Taishan County Magistrate, and his rank is similar to Zhang Miao.

And judging from the fact that Zhang Miao only made Dian Wei a sergeant, he probably didn't think much of Dian Wei.

In this way, if Ji Qiu showed all courtesy and asked Zhang Miao for Dian Wei, Zhang Miao would not refuse.

The two men chatted and laughed as they arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion.

Xi Zhong stepped forward, handed Ji Qiu's name card to the doorman, and said, "Please tell the guard that Ji Qiu, the lieutenant of Taishan County, is here to see the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Shijun!"

"Please wait a moment." The doorman took the visiting card, said respectfully, and then trotted inside to pass it on.

In the study of the prefect's mansion, Zhang Miao was discussing profound things with several retainers.

He was a typical celebrity official in the late Han Dynasty, who made his career through elegant conversation.

Together with Du Shang, Wang Kao, Liu Ru, Hu Muban, Qin Zhou, Fan Xiang and Wang Zhang, he was known as the Eight Chefs, and was a close friend of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

They flatter each other, thereby enhancing their reputation, advancing into official careers, and holding high positions.

Zhang Miao's ability in commanding the army and governing the government was mediocre. The only thing he was proficient in was probably Tan Xuan and the art of uniting with the party to attack the dissidents.

"Sir, there is a visiting card outside the door from Ji Qiu, the prefect of Taishan County, who wants to meet you!" The doorman walked into the study and presented the visiting card to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao took the visiting card, glanced at it casually, and then threw it on the ground.

He said disdainfully: "Ji Qiu? Is he the lucky villain who came from a humble background?
Who is he to come to see me? Go tell him I'm not here! "

For an official like Zhang Miao who pursues the path of being a celebrity, the people he dislikes the most are those who have been promoted by luck like Ji Qiu.

After all, the two promotion paths are completely opposite.

The celebrity route is based on aristocratic families, and requires aristocratic families to promote their reputation, and then rely on their reputation to force the court to appoint them as officials.

This is completely different from those who are lucky enough to be promoted by the emperor by making contributions to the court and flattering the imperial power.

However, if Zhang Miao simply disliked him, he would not have refused to see him.

After all, we are all officials in the same court, and we have no hatred in the past or resentment in the present, so we still have to consider basic feelings.

But Zhang Miao was not only a famous official, he was also a disciple of Yuan Wei and a court official recommended and appointed by Yuan Wei.

Therefore, he and the Yuan family, especially Yuan Wei, share the same fate.

At this time, five or six days had passed since Ji Qiu left Luoyang City.

As time goes by, everything that happens in Luoyang City is gradually spreading to local prefectures and counties.

Yanzhou is located in the center of the world and close to Luoyang City. It is naturally the place that receives news from Luoyang City the fastest.

Therefore, Zhang Miao had already received the news from Luoyang City and knew about the feud between Ji Qiu and the Yuan family.

Although the Yuan family did not order him how to treat Ji Qiu, as a qualified lackey, he could not wait for his master's orders before doing everything.

You have to learn to read people's expressions so that you can please your master.

That's why Zhang Miao rejected Ji Qiu so ruthlessly. This was to clearly express his attitude to Yuan Wei!

The main gate of the prefectural government.

The doorman, having received Zhang Miao's order, returned, his face completely devoid of the respect he had just shown. He tossed the visiting card directly back to Xi Zhong and said coldly, "The envoy said he's not here!"

"Not here? How could he not be here?"

Xizhong was slightly stunned. The channels they used to gather information were not ordinary ones, but the special channels of the Xiuyiwei.

Don't forget, Ji Qiu is also a green-robed embroiderer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, in charge of the affairs of the four continents of Yu, Yan, Qing and Xu.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards of these four continents are not of much use, they have a long history and a complete organization.

It is still very useful to let them find out some information that is obvious.

Since they found out that Zhang Miao was in the mansion, he must be there. How could he not be there?
And the doorman's reply was also very interesting. It was Zhang Miao who said he was not there!

Doesn't this clearly tell them that Zhang Miao is actually in the mansion, but just doesn't want to see them?
This is a naked humiliation to them!

Xi Zhong was immediately furious and said, "Zhang Miao is so rude! How dare you humiliate my master like this?!"

Since ancient times, when the lord worries, the minister will be humiliated; when the lord is humiliated, the minister will die.

Zhang Miao humiliated Ji Qiu in this way. As a retainer of Ji Qiu, Xi Zhong could not tolerate it at all and immediately decided to fight to the death!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ji Qiu pulled him down.

"This is Zhang Miao's prefectural residence. Inside are his personal soldiers. Don't fall for their tricks and suffer a loss.

Let's go first, we can discuss this matter later!" Ji Qiu's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly left the prefectural government by pulling Xi Zhong, whose eyes were bloodshot.

The doorman looked at the two men as they left, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He really hoped that these two people could not bear the humiliation and started making a fuss, so that he could ask the soldiers in the palace to take action and teach them a lesson.

When he came out just now, Zhang Miao had already told him to find a way to intensify the conflict.

But put the blame on the other party.

If he can accomplish this, he will reward you handsomely.

It’s a pity that I didn’t expect that Ji Qiu was so patient and actually swallowed his anger.

He lost the chance to claim the reward, and he was really angry!
