The young scribe did not reject Li Ru's "good intention" and followed Li Ru directly, striding into the hall of Prince Hongnong's residence.
At the same time, he couldn't help but make a tut-tsk sound along the way.
It can be seen that Liu Bian's role as King Hongnong was indeed in a hurry.
This huge residence of Prince Hongnong has a strong sense of desolation from the inside out.
It can be said that there is nothing like what a prince should look like.
Just like King Hongnong himself, the reason for his appearance is just to give himself loneliness before his ending.
What a shame.
However, the young scribe couldn't help but sigh directly at this time.
Because he saw the goal of his trip, King Hongnong of the Han Dynasty, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian!
"Shi Chenggongying, the governor of Jincheng County, met King Hongnong.
I am very relieved to see that the king is safe and sound! "
When she saw Hongnong King Liu Bian, Cheng Gongying finally no longer had to hide his identity and bowed directly to Liu Bian in front of him.
At the same time, it also let Li Ru know who this guy was.
"Gongsun Zhu?"
At this time, Li Ru couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, and then looked at the strong man behind Cheng Gongying whose head was wrapped in a yellow scarf again.
At this moment, all the things he couldn't figure out were figured out.
"It's really Gongsun Zhu, what a good method... It's just that for a little Liu Bian, he exposed all the methods he had been planning for several years.
Is he really worth it? "
How could Li Ru not know what was going on now?
Although he did not follow Dong Zhuo to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, he was very clear about the things that put down the Yellow Turban Army.
Among them, in addition to Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong and the other army commanders, there was also a very important person.
That is Gongsun Zhu.
He is very important not because of how powerful he is. The elite cavalry around him and Liu Guanzhang under his command are, in the final analysis, nothing more than elites.
On the battlefield, there were not many who were braver than Liu Guan and Zhang, but there were many who were more elite than his subordinates!
Gongsun Zhu made Li Ru feel important because of his actions.
From beginning to end, this guy was deliberately acting benevolent, as if he was a guy who didn't know the rules.
Li Ru is not a good person, so Li Ru adheres to a principle.
That is the great good and the great evil!
Li Ru didn't know whether Gongsun Zhu was truly benevolent, but he didn't mind thinking about him with the dirtiest thoughts.
If Gongsun Zhu was not a good person, then why did he spend so much effort and even give up his own future to do this?
Well....for fame!
But if it was about fame, he should continue to pursue an official career or become a celebrity.
But no!
Li Ru knew exactly where this guy went. He went to the northwest.
Because I am also in the northwest!
It is particularly interesting when a person who values reputation goes to the northwest where reputation is most useless.
For example, I had to guess again about Gongsun Zhu.
If Gongsun Zhu is not doing it for fame, then what is he doing for it?
The world!
When Li Ru thought of this possibility for the first time, he was stunned. He even felt that he must have overthought it, so he did not dare to tell Dong Zhuo about it.
Because he knew that even Dong Zhuo would probably not believe it.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was very chaotic, but if we say from the time when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, we could have guessed the chaos that would follow in the next few years.
Although it is not impossible, this gamble is too big!
But now the situation in the world is heading towards corruption step by step. When the state pastoral system reappeared, Li Ru knew that the world would not be able to live in peace.
I also know that Gongsun Zhu is definitely not an peaceful person.
Over the years, he has helped Dong Zhuo step by step to reach where he is now, and at the same time, he is constantly wary of Gongsun Zhu's methods.
I was afraid that he would directly make a big move in the northwest.
But Li Ru didn't expect that the method Gongsun Zhu had deployed for so long would suddenly appear at this moment.
And the target turned out to be King Hongnong.
This time, Li Ru felt a little embarrassed.
Looking at Li Ru in front of him, Cheng Gongying just kept a plain smile on his face.
But in his heart, just like Li Ru, he could not help but be horrified.
He looked at the somewhat quiet hall at this time, at Liu Bian who looked shocked, and at Li Ru who frowned and didn't know whether to speak first.
Finally, he looked at Bo Cai and others around him.
At this moment, Cheng Gongying's mind returned to Jincheng County in an instant.
Perhaps it was a return to Jincheng County a year ago.
At that time... their development finally hit a bottleneck!
Jincheng County is indeed a good place with a strategic location, and the land can be regarded as quite good in the entire Liangzhou.
In addition, Gongsun Zhu's subordinates are also full of talents. While wooing the heroes of Liangzhou, they are cleaning up the surrounding Qiang and Hu, and at the same time wooing available people.
Let some relatively stable Qiang and Hu gradually join in.
Everything seemed to be developing in a better direction, but with Li Ru's actions, Yongliang's exclusiveness began to slowly emerge.
The most important thing is that Jincheng County began to experience a serious shortage of food and grass, and there was a huge talent gap.
If you want to govern a county well, it is not enough to simply rely on one person.
Not everyone is Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Gongsun Zhu also understood this truth.
Cheng Gongying, Tian Chou, Wei You, and even Jian Yong, Liu Yan, Yan Wen and so on.
But no matter how talented these people are, they still can't do everything without subordinate officials.
So now there is a very embarrassing situation in Jincheng County.
There are not enough people, not enough farmland, not enough grain and grass, and not enough troops.
There are not many cities under Gongsun Zhu.
Not to mention occupying other cities, even the current county seat of Jincheng County is still controlled by local powerful people.
There are not enough students to take over.
Even though Guan Ning is working hard to teach students, this kind of thing cannot be done in a day or two.
So at that moment, Jincheng County was caught in a very serious problem.
The most serious situation is not only in these internal affairs, but also in the military.
Gongsun Zhu has been maintaining the rights of Ma Teng and Liu Bei intentionally or unintentionally.
Ma Teng is understandable. After all, Ma Teng is of vital importance to their ability to establish a foothold in Jincheng County and conquer many Qiang and Hu tribes.
But Liu Bei... Gongsun Zhu said that he really didn't understand.
