Xu Ding was puzzled and asked, "Why did Meng De say that?"
Only then did Cao Cao talk about what happened last night.
It turned out that he was responsible for intercepting Buji, but because Buji hit too hard, he couldn't block it, which made the plan deviate.
Fortunately, Xu Ding successfully beheaded Bu Ji, and finally brought the matter to an end.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant of Dong'e city saw Huangfusong chasing the enemy in person, and hurried out of the city to greet them.
But Huangfusong had a lot of things to deal with, he rushed back to Cangting, he didn't pay much attention to the county magistrate and county lieutenant.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant had no choice but to invite Xu Ding, Cao Cao and others into the city.
Xu Ding heard that the city was called Dong Ah, so he brought the guards into the city.
The county magistrate and county lieutenant entertained Xu Ding and Cao Cao, and they had a pleasant conversation.
Knowing that Xu Ding was the one who assisted Huangfusong and others in their military exploits, and personally beheaded Bu Ji, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Dongjun, each of them became more affectionate and flattered each other.
Xu Ding was naturally chatting and laughing, and asked during the meeting: "I don't know if there are any great talents in your county. The road is tight and the treasure land is tight. I want to recruit some to serve the country and share your worries."
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were overjoyed when they heard the words, and people like Xu Ding who could win the battle must have a future, so they recommended talents in the county one by one.
Of course, some of these people may really have some strength, and some are just descendants of aristocratic families, with some connections.
However, these promises were not very satisfactory, and most of them declined politely.
Only a man named Xue Fang said: "Your Majesty, if you want to talk about a great talent, there is a man in my county whose surname is Cheng Mingyu, whose name is Zhongde. , so that the city will not be lost."
Others also echoed, this time it was a real compliment, not a vain one.
But only the county magistrate looked a little unhappy.
Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Cheng Yu, Dong Ah's Receiver
Coming out of the county government office, the man named Xue Fang took the initiative to take Xu Ding and others to Cheng Yu's residence.
On the way, Cao Cao asked: "Brother Xue, I just heard you mention Cheng Yu just now, why did your magistrate's face change, it seems that he doesn't want to hear his name."
"Lieutenant Cao doesn't know something. Mr. Cheng is the savior of our county, and the county magistrate... hey..." Xue Fang glanced back and saw that there was no one from the county government, so he continued.
Only then did Xu Ding and others understand that when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, a county magistrate named Wang Du rebelled in Dong'e City. The county magistrate was so frightened that he abandoned the city and ran away.
So everyone helped the old and the young to flee eastward to Quqiu Mountain.
At this time, Cheng Yu stepped forward and sent someone to spy on Wang Du, and found that Wang Du and others had an empty city and could not hold on, so he went out to stop five or six miles west of the city to take back the city.
But the county soldiers, county officials and the common people refused to listen to him, Cheng Yu was very helpless.
Then he secretly dispatched several cavalry to hold high the banner on Dongshan Mountain, so that Xue Fang and others could see and cooperate with him.
Xue Fang and others then shouted: "The thieves have attacked!" They went down the mountain to take the city, and the officials and people followed them one after another when they saw the situation, and took back Dong'a City all day long.
Then he found the county magistrate who was scared away, gathered the spirit of the militia, and defended the city together.
Later, Wang Du and others came to attack the city, but were unable to break through, and were about to retreat. At this time, Cheng Yu led the officials to open the city gate to pursue, and Wang Du was defeated.
So it's no wonder that the county magistrate's expression changed when Cheng Yu's name was mentioned, and he was not very happy.
Cheng Yu's brilliance reflects his ugliness and incompetence.
A family of iron, and a magistrate of Liushui, as the Dong'a aristocratic family, naturally they are not afraid of making things difficult for the county magistrate. Xue Fang, who was already admiring and grateful to Cheng Yu, recommended Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao couldn't help being a little envious when he heard this, he didn't expect that Dong'e had such a talented person.
Everyone soon arrived at Cheng Yu's residence.
Three broken fences, two thatched huts, a courtyard, and the gate was slanted open.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Cheng there?"
According to Xue Fang's introduction, Cheng Yu also holds a teaching position in the county, and is usually responsible for teaching children's enlightenment.
Hearing the sound, there was movement in the house, and then the door opened, and a man in coarse clothes and linen came out, about forty years old.
This person is Cheng Yu?
His face was weather-beaten and thin, Xu Ding was a little suspicious.
Xue Fang rushed to the man and said, "Mr. Cheng, this is the governor of Donglai County. He came here because he led his troops to chase down the yellow scarf bandit Kou Buji. Hearing his name, he came here to pay a visit."
"Oh!" Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he went to the courtyard to look at Xu Ding, and then saluted:
"Mr. Xu Fu!"
Xu Ding pushed open the slanted door, stepped in, and Cheng Yu also saluted and replied: "Mr. Cheng, don't take the liberty to disturb me."
"How could it be? It's Yu's honor to be able to visit the humble house in person." Cheng Yu replied politely.
Xu Ding asked: "Brother Xue didn't mention my name just now, why did Mr. Cheng call me Lord Xu?"
Cheng Yudao: "Master Xu's name has been heard for a long time. Luoyang's four and a half poems are famous all over the world, and he is the most powerful in the world with his martial arts. He has an advanced understanding of Qingzhou Taiping Dao. The enemy is expected to be ahead of others. How can I not know."
"Uh, so I'm so famous?" Xu Ding said jokingly, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be very hopeful for me to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain?"
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Ding to be so direct.
This goes straight to the point without talking about a few words.
Can't help but smile.
Xue Fang took the initiative to tell Xu Ding's intention of coming.
Cheng Yu thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xu thinks about the current catastrophe?"
Is this considered elegant?
Xu Ding thought for a while and only replied with five words: "The inevitability of history!"
historical inevitability?
Xue Fang and others were puzzled, the inevitable result, could Xu Ding be able to predict it.
Cao Cao was thoughtful.
Cheng Yu's eyes shone even brighter. Hearing this, he smiled slightly, and directly bowed: "My lord, please accept Cheng Yu's bow!"
