Chapter 780: Wu Jun Gu Yong

After a while, a young man in his twenties boarded the ship. Huangfu Chaobo looked out the window and frowned slightly. The Gu family actually sent such a young person. Did Mi Fu not tell them about the situation? It should be impossible. If not, it can only mean one thing, this young man is not simple.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but ponder secretly. The more famous person in the history of the Gu family should be Gu Yong, the prime minister of Dongwu. Could this be Gu Yong?

Huangfu Chaobo was suddenly shocked. It should be correct. Before he went south, he had already Baidud the situation of the famous generals in Jiangdong. Gu Yong should be in his twenties or thirties now, but Gu Yong should be in Hefei now. Logically speaking, he should be in Hefei County, Jiujiang, not in his hometown of Wujun.

Just thinking about it, the young man had boarded the ship under the guidance of Mi Fu and was walking towards the room where Huangfu Chaobo lived. Then, he heard the guard outside the door report: "General, they are here."

Huangfu Chaobo's ship was specially modified. The entire first floor was his residence. It was divided into several rooms, and the rooms on both sides were the residences of the guards. In addition to the residence, the room where Huangfu Chaobo lived also had a study and a reception room.

Huangfu Chaobo had already arrived at the outermost reception room and sat down in the main seat. After hearing the report from the guard outside the door, he said: "Please let them in."

The door creaked open, and Mi Fu led the young man into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, the young man looked up at Huangfu Chaobo, then was startled, stepped forward quickly, and bowed to the ground and said: "Gu Yong of Wu County pays homage to the Marquis!"

Huangfu Chaobo laughed, stood up, stepped forward, helped Gu Yong up and said: "I didn't expect it was really Yuan Tan. When I was in Luoyang, I often heard Cai Weng mention that Yuan Tan was Cai Weng's most proud disciple, but I had never had the chance to meet him. Today I met him and he was indeed handsome."

"My Lord, you are too kind!"

"Cai Weng once said that Yuan Tan was the mayor of Hefei when he was young. I don't know why he appeared in Qu'a?" Huangfu Chaobo asked the question in his heart.

Gu Yong was straightforward and said that he couldn't stand what Yuan Shu did, so he resigned and returned to Wu County shortly after Yuan Shu entered Yangzhou. Now he is idle at home.

This time, it was because they heard that the Mi family caravan brought hundreds of war horses, so the Jiangdong family wanted to take this trade route. After receiving the news, the Gu family immediately thought of Gu Yong, who was now idle at home. He was Cai Yong's proud disciple. Now Cai Yong is already in Luoyang. Although he is not an official of the General Andong Mansion, he teaches disciples in Luoyang Academy.

So, the Gu family wanted to use this relationship to get in touch with Huangfu Chaobo.

The Gu family was not wrong. Originally, Huangfu Chaobo wanted to find a family to cooperate with in Jiangdong, but now that the relationship with the Gu family is closer, he chose to cooperate with the Gu family without saying anything. However, Huangfu Chaobo also expressed concerns about whether the Gu family can completely eat up the entire Jiangnan market.

Fortunately, Gu Yong had already made preparations. In addition to the Gu family, the Zhu family in Jiangdong also joined the cooperation. As for Jingzhou, the Pang family and the Ma family, who have always had dealings with the Gu family, also joined the cooperation.

In fact, Huangfu Chaobo had already considered the cooperation with Jingzhou. In fact, the cooperation on goods was fine, but the cooperation on horses could not break through the two counties of Nanyang and Lujiang, so he had to give up in the end.

But now that the sea transportation route has been opened, the exchanges with Jingzhou must be reopened.

The general direction has been determined. Huangfu Chaobo and Gu Yong did not discuss the details. This must be handed over to the responsible shopkeeper for detailed discussion.

Then Huangfu Chaobo invited Gu Yong to have lunch together on the boat. The two talked about Cai Yong and Cai Yan, father and daughter in Luoyang. Huangfu Chaobo also mentioned that Cai Yan had remarried.

Gu Yong was also very happy to hear this.

However, his teacher only mentioned the marriage of his junior sister in a letter, and told him after the marriage, so he was unable to rush to Luoyang to attend the wedding.

During this period, Huangfu Chaobo had mentioned several times in a vague way that he hoped to invite Gu Yong to Luoyang to serve as an official, but he was rejected by him. In the end, Huangfu Chaobo had to give up helplessly.

He also knew that it was unlikely that he would recruit Gu Yong. You must know that during the Three Kingdoms period, not only Gu Yong, but also other children of Jiangdong aristocratic families rarely left Jiangdong to serve as officials in other families, at least before the current situation in the world was unclear.

After lunch, Gu Yong said goodbye and left. Huangfu Chaobo was considering whether he should prepare to return to the Central Plains since there seemed to be nothing else to deal with in Jiangdong this time.

The business caravan had been arranged, and the purchase of grain could be left to the Gu family. His fleet only needed to transport the purchased grain back to Qingzhou.

Who knew that at night, the head of the Gu family and the head of the Zhu family sent someone to send an invitation to invite Huangfu Chaobo to a banquet at a Gu family manor outside Danyang City at noon tomorrow.

The next morning, Gu Yong led people to the dock early in the morning. He came to invite Huangfu Chaobo to the manor for a banquet. After having breakfast, Huangfu Chaobo led Jia Jing to the manor for a banquet under the protection of a hundred guards led by Dian Wei and Shi'a.

The Gu family's manor is located at the foot of a mountain less than 20 miles southwest of Danyang Wharf. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is called a manor, but it is actually a large dock. There are large paddy fields around, which are basically all fields of the Gu family.

When Huangfu Chaobo and his party arrived, the gate of the manor was wide open. Two middle-aged men stood at the gate. They were both in their forties. One of them looked like a scholar, and the other was dressed as a general.

Huangfu Chaobo only took a glance and knew that the scholar must be the head of the Gu family, while the warrior was the head of the Zhu family. Although both families are Wujun families, they took different paths.

Seeing more than a hundred cavalrymen rushing in, the two people at the door hurriedly tidied their clothes and led the people at the door to step forward two steps to welcome the arrival of the cavalry. After a few breaths, the cavalry arrived at the gate of the dock. With the order of the leader, more than a hundred cavalrymen stopped their horses together, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves stopped at once.

This situation made the faces of the people who came to greet them change. The people of the Gu family were okay, as they knew very little about military affairs, but the people of the Zhu family were different. They were basically all from military backgrounds, and they could station their cavalry in such an orderly manner, which showed how elite these guards were.
