Chapter 134
"We welcome General Su Xuan, many thanks to General Su for the grace of lifting the siege and saving our lives!"
At this time, Xue Fang led Cheng Yu and others to open the city gate, went out of the city to welcome Su Xuan and the Black Armored Army, with a face full of respect.
"Are you the County Magistrate of Dong'e?"
Su Xuan, upon seeing this, rode his horse forward and asked with a face full of confusion while looking at Xue Fang.
While speaking, he also paid attention to Cheng Yu.
Because this person was dressed as a scholar, and his temperament didn't seem like an ordinary person.
Mainly, this person's eyes looking at him were quite enthusiastic, which made Su Xuan a bit confused.
He came to Dong'e not only to suppress the rebels, but also indeed for Cheng Yu.
But he had never seen Cheng Yu before;
Although he had suspicions, he could not be sure that this person was Cheng Yu.
"Returning to the General's words, I am not!"
Xue Fang, upon hearing this, felt Su Xuan's inexplicable aura, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he became even more respectful: "I am the head of the Xue family in Dong'e, and I defended the city together with Cheng Yu beside me;"
"As for the County Magistrate of Dong'e and the others, they had already fled this city long ago."
"So that's how it is!"
Su Xuan, upon hearing this, suddenly understood, then looked at Cheng Yu and smiled slightly: "Are you Cheng Yu, who defended this Dong'e?"
"Yes!"
Cheng Yu, seeing this, also quickly stepped forward and bowed to Su Xuan: "Cheng Yu of Dong'e pays respects to General Su. I dare not claim credit. I was lucky to have the General's divine soldiers descend from heaven; otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on for long;"
"Everything is the General's merit."
"Haha!"
Su Xuan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smile, dismounted, walked to Cheng Yu, looked him over, and opened his mouth to recruit him: "After I entered the territory of Dong Commandery, I had long heard of Cheng Yu of Dong'e and the story of changing his name because of a dream. I thought it must be you!"
Cheng Yu, upon hearing this, felt his heart sink and explained in a panic: "That was just a joke I made when I was young and ignorant, making the General laugh."
As he spoke, Cheng Yu wanted to explain something else.
Su Xuan waved his hand to stop him, looked at Cheng Yu seriously, and said: "Zhongde, why do you need to explain? I can see that you are a talented person;"
"It's just because your background is not good enough that you resorted to this desperate measure. This is not a shameful thing;"
"Which young descendant of a scholar-official magnate family hasn't had similar means to become famous?"
"The reason why they achieved a good reputation, while you, Zhongde, were mocked for it, is just because your identity and background were not enough!"
"I never care about these things;"
"After all, my background is also average."
"You don't need to care too much about others' opinions;"
"When you achieve success and fame, the things you were mocked for in the past will also become stories of praise."
Cheng Yu, hearing this, lost all his shame, and only full gratitude and admiration remained in his heart.
How could he not understand that Su Xuan was pointing out and appreciating him?
Indeed, that was exactly what he thought and did at the time.
As a result, what he brought upon himself was slander and ridicule.
Unexpectedly, today Su Xuan spoke a fair word for him and didn't mock him.
"Thank you, General, for your guidance, and thank you, General, for not thinking I am despicable."
Cheng Yu was moved to tears and bowed in gratitude: "If the General does not abandon me, Cheng Yu is willing to serve the General to the death."
To be able to find a soulmate and meet a wise lord is a great fortune in three lifetimes.
Cheng Yu had this feeling at this time.
"Haha! Zhongde, please get up quickly!"
Su Xuan, seeing this, laughed and helped Cheng Yu up, patted his arm and said: "To be able to have Zhongde's help is like Gao Zu obtaining Chen Ping. I am overjoyed;"
"From now on, you will be the Chief Registrar under my command."
"Many thanks, Lord!"
Cheng Yu, upon hearing this, was excited and bowed again in thanks.
His choice was indeed correct.
Su Xuan is his soulmate and wise lord.
He entrusted him with a heavy responsibility right from the start.
Cheng Yu's heart was filled with emotion, and he made up his mind that he would do his best to serve Su Xuan to the death in the future, and must help Su Xuan achieve a shocking great cause.
Only then would he not live up to Su Xuan's kindness of appreciation and guidance today.
At the same time, he also wanted to prove to the world, and to those who once looked down on him, by assisting Su Xuan in his success, that his Cheng Yu's talent is not false;
That he, Cheng Yu, is not a joke.
Xue Fang, on the side, was stunned by this series of events.
But he knew that Cheng Yu had found a big backer and would be prosperous in the future, so he immediately congratulated Su Xuan and Cheng Yu: "Congratulations to General Su for obtaining a talent, and congratulations to Brother Zhongde for meeting a wise lord."
"Not at all, not at all!"
Cheng Yu, upon hearing this, immediately smiled and returned the courtesy.
Xue Fang didn't mind, and then invited Su Xuan: "This time, thanks to the General, Dong'e city was preserved. I have already prepared a banquet in the mansion. Would the General be willing to enter the city for a chat?"
"Of course, I have also ordered people to prepare delicious food and drinks for the officers under your command, General. I hope you will be satisfied."
This is a good opportunity to make friends with Su Xuan! How can he not grasp it well?
Moreover, in terms of reason and emotion, Su Xuan saved Dong'e, and as the host, he must show something.
He had already prepared to persuade the other families in the city to prepare a generous gift for Su Xuan together, so as to establish a relationship.
After all, this person is currently favored by the Emperor!
His future prospects are limitless.
"Alright! You have a heart!"
Su Xuan, upon hearing this, nodded and agreed.
It's just right to take a rest and replenish food and grass by the way.
Afterwards, Su Xuan took Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Xi Zhicai, and others to attend the victory banquet.
He also introduced the newly joined Cheng Yu to them so they could get to know each other.
Huang Zhong and the others knew their Lord's vision, so they naturally accepted Cheng Yu happily.
The more talents under the Lord's command, the better!
Since this Cheng Yu could hold Dong'e for several days with his own strength and hundreds of local braves, he was already extraordinary.
Worthy of being taken seriously.
Another 3 days later, Su Xuan cooperated with Huangfu Song to sweep across the Yellow Turban army in all commanderies of Yanzhou. Even if there were remnants, they were no longer a threat.
Immediately, they began to divide their troops and turn to Yuzhou to continue the clearing.
During this period, Su Xuan also learned through the tentacles of the Dark Guards that Lu Zhi was still the same as in the history of his previous life, offending Zuo Feng, and had no intention of changing his strategy at all.
Zuo Feng was already on his way back to Luoyang in a rage at this time.
