Chapter 636: Calm and Calm (Part 1)
On the first day of July in the tenth year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty (316), Wancheng was under a scorching sun.
Le Kai, the commander of the Miobei shogunate army, led a group of assistants and was practicing for Yangman.
After Yang Zuyan was held in the position of internal history in Shunyang for many years, Shao Xun finally compensated him: he went to Bianliang to serve as the minister of the Liang Kingdom and participated in secrets.
In this regard, Lucai is quite envious, even a little jealous.
"Zu Yan, we have to say goodbye. I don't know when we will see each other again." Le Kai put down the wine bottle and sighed.
"Why did Hongxu say this? You are the military commander of the five counties. You may go to Bianliang one day to take up a confidential position." Yang Man said.
As a sensitive person, he could actually guess Lucai's little thoughts.
Shao Zhang, the eldest son of Duke Liang, is nine years old and has no legitimate son. Do you think Le Kai has any thoughts? I didn't have any thoughts at first, but now I have thoughts.
It’s a pity that Yang didn’t have much thought, alas.
Yang Xianrong's identity is shady, and Mr. Liang doesn't have the courage to directly take her into the palace. He can't see her a few times throughout the year, and he still has no children. What can he do?
I just hope that after Liang Gong stabilizes, he will not go out to war all the time, and can stay in Bianliang with peace of mind, handling official affairs and giving orders to all directions.
But it is difficult for a person of his background.
If you don’t fight in person, you can’t build prestige. Without prestige, it is difficult for people to surrender. After all, Liang Gong does not have the prestige brought by his family name, so he can only rely on military exploits to make up for his shortcomings.
If you go on an expedition, you will gather less and leave more. Do you have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
Thinking of this, he was in a bad mood, so he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
"I can't leave yet." Le Kai said half-sighing, half-satisfied: "Wang Chuzhong has gathered his troops and may attack at any time. There is no stopping."
Liang Gongneng is in the north. He killed everyone in all directions because someone was protecting the south for him, and that person was Le Hongxu.
Which of the counties in Nanyang does not obey his orders now?
With a single order, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are at your fingertips, of which no less than 20,000 are those who dare to fight and have experienced many wars.
Yongraoye kept making weapons and armor day and night, and the equipment of Leshi tribe also became sophisticated. After several battles with Wang Dun, Gan Zhuo, Tao Kan and others, he became an elite division.
To improve combat effectiveness, you still have to rely on fighting.
To put it harshly, in this situation, he didn't really want to move.
Just stay in Wancheng, farming and training troops, going out to fight, training generals, and promoting officials. If possible, it would be safer for my sister to give birth to a few more children for Mr. Liang.
He had no objection.
He was just fighting for Duke Liang, consolidating his sister's position, and providing capital for his nephew.
However, there is another thing that makes him uncomfortable in Nanyang, and that is the existence of Nanyang Kingdom.
Good guys, Nanyang Kingdom has almost become the "Kuanxi Kingdom" now. Countless Hu and Han refugees have poured in, some of them are sent to Runan, some of them flee to Xiangyang and Jiangling, and some of them are absorbed by Nanyang Kingdom and are registered as households. .
The Pingyuan Liu family sent many of their children to take care of the place for Princess Nanyang.
Many scholars from Kansai came to Nanyang to teach farming and mulberry cultivation and to train soldiers. During the battle against Xiangyang last year, there was a man named Huangfu Yang who came from Guanxi and led the refugee army.
After the war, these refugees were registered as households in Nanyang State.
Le Kai could hardly intervene in all the affairs of Nanyang Kingdom, and could only give them orders such as expedition and withdrawal as military commander.
How his army is organized and mobilized has nothing to do with him.
There is a man behind Princess Nanyang! well.
"Wang Chuzhong is like that." Yang Man said: "If the battle is not fought well, he will blame others. If the battle is fought well, even worse, he will be jealous and kill people. This pattern is also Just like that, nothing big can happen.”
“Haha.” Hearing what Yang Man said, Le Kai was overjoyed.
The staff at the table also laughed.
"I accept your auspicious words." Le Kai picked up the wine bottle and said, "I will defeat Wang Chuzhong sooner or later and pay tribute to Duke Liang as a general."
"General..." Yangman was filled with emotion, picked up the wine bottle and said, "Drink a drink for the general."
"For the general." Everyone picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
Liang Gong was promoted to general, recorded the affairs of Shangshu, and established the Bafu in Bianliang. He made solid steps step by step.
As a member of Liang Gong's command, the Mianbei shogunate's assistants were also very happy, full of energy, walking with wind, thinking about the prosperous years in the future.
This is what people are like.
Once you have a head start, your energy will rise, you will do things quickly, you will have strong initiative, and sometimes you will even perform beyond your level.
But if you don’t have a head start, then you won’t have much energy, and forget about living your life.
For example, Yu Zhi, who used to make money, travel around the mountains and rivers, and drink alcohol when he was in Sima Yue's house, had a very bad reputation. Now, he is making money, but he is also very efficient at work while making money. He carries out Liang Gong’s orders to the letter, even drinking a lot less wine, and because Liang Gong hates being drunk, Yu Zhi doesn’t dare to do it openly. If you do this, you can only take it secretly in private, and the frequency is greatly reduced.
The Miobei Shogunate is currently in a state of gradually rising morale, and Le Kai can feel it.
"After I left and before the new internal history took office, Hongxu helped me keep an eye on it. Speaking of which, it was also my hard work. Several children were born in Shunyang, and I couldn't bear to cause trouble." Yang Man looked at Lucky and said seriously.
"Don't worry, Zu Yan." Le Kai promised: "With Duke Liang's momentum, whoever dares to cause trouble, I will personally command troops to conquer. Whoever dares to say weird things, I will personally come to your door and scold him until he wakes up."
“Haha.” Yang Man laughed: “Hongxu, you are drunk.”
Lucky also smiled.
Liang Gong has become the de facto powerful minister, no one in the local area scolds him? Of course there is.
Many people could not understand his origin, his career as a soldier, and they looked down upon him for being vulgar and uncivilized - perhaps there was also the matter of Liang Gong collecting famous ladies for his enjoyment, and even more Makes people jealous. Anyway, there are many people who have opinions about him.
Lucky now has subjective initiative and feels that he should wake these people up and nip the danger in the bud.
As a large family that supports Liang Gong, it should play a mainstay role in the local area to prevent some scholars from getting confused and causing some trouble. This is not impossible.
I am really worried about the Shao family.
******
After the practice banquet, Yangman took a few followers on the road.
When he arrived in Duyang to rest, he met a convoy. After asking around for a while, he learned that Nanyang Princess Liu was taking the princess north to... er, Bianliang.
Seven-year-old Fu Bao got off the carriage and jumped around. He looked at the flowers for a while, and for a while he looked at the draft horse pulling the cart, and made a sound of surprise in his mouth.
Yang Man looked at Liang Gong's eldest daughter with a smile - this was a secret to most people, but not to him.
Concubine Liu had a sad face and a gloomy expression. After coming over to salute, she sat aside in a daze and allowed her servants to prepare the meal.
Only when Liang Gong's name is mentioned, her eyes will show some light.
This is also a poor woman, Yangman sighed secretly.
If he hadn't happened to be in Kanto, he would have died or been captured by the Xiongnu. I don't know whose hands he fell into.
The person escorting the concubine and her daughter northward was Lieutenant Yuan Xi of Nanyang.
This man had a stern face and was not good at words, but Yang Manxian was extremely bored and kept talking to him.
“I heard that Lueyang has been conquered by Liu Can and Tianshui is in danger.” Yang Man said: “The King of Nanyang is still fighting among himself. I don’t know how many days he can hold on.”
Yuan Xi is from Lueyang. When he heard this, his expression finally changed and he said: "The terrain in Qinzhou is steep, so maybe we can hold on for a little longer."
"I hope so." Yang Man said: "I heard from the refugees in Guanxi that the Huns overhauled Lantian Pass last year to cut off the Lantian-Wuguan Road, and built a cang city and military camp behind the pass. They seemed to have plans to break into Nanyang. What do you think, Lieutenant Yuan? "
"It would be better to go up this route and attack Lantian directly to scare the Huns," Yuan Xi said.
"That would require tens of thousands of troops." Yang Man said, "How many troops does Nanyang have?"
Yuan Xi glanced at him suspiciously and said nothing.
Yangman shook his head and laughed. He was very vigilant and said nothing.
So he changed the subject and asked: "Do you know that Liang Gong was appointed as a general and recorded as a minister?"
Yuan Xi glanced at him and said, "Although I am illiterate, But I have heard about it.”
“How do the people in Nanyang comment on this matter?”
“Every refugee in Nanyang is told that this is the land granted by Chen Gongen.” Yuan Xi said: "Everyone is excited and happy."
Yang Man nodded and said: "Thousands of soldiers from the battle in Shexian County in the past have settled in Junyi and Kaifeng and moved to At that time, everyone was envious of him. The situation in Nanyang was indeed as stable as Mount Tai. His reputation spread far and wide. "
Yuan Xi was a little happy after hearing this.
He is a lieutenant of Nanyang. The main officers under him are all from Liang Gong's personal soldiers. If Liang Gong goes up, they can also share some benefits - Nanyang Kingdom will always be abolished, and arrangements will be made at that time.
"General Yuan, I saw a rabbit, come and hit it, I want to eat it." Fu Bao trotted over and said loudly.
A rare smile appeared on Yuan Xi's face, but he was responsible for his duties and did not act.
Yang Man looked at this energetic little girl and liked it very much, and said: "I heard that Mr. Liang raised a golden eagle, which is best at catching rabbits."
"Ah? Really? ?" Fu Bao asked with wide eyes: "Is it falling from the sky to catch rabbits?"
"I want to eat it!" Fu Bao jumped up and shouted. road.
"Then we have to wait until the golden eagle is caught."
"I want to eat the golden eagle." Fu Bao corrected.
Yangman was speechless.
Liu Xiaohe walked over, held his daughter in his arms, and whispered a few words.
Fu Bao refused to obey, twisting and turning, trying to escape.
Liu subconsciously hugged her daughter tightly, as if she was afraid of losing her.
Yangman sighed, stood up and left, looking at the plants and trees near the inn.
It is summer, and after the farmers have finished weeding the fields, they carefully look at the spring wheat that is growing taller and taller.
There is a wealthy family on the other side of the river. The owner and his guests are talking and laughing in front of the door, and the sound can be heard far away.
Farther away, the gate of Wubao is open, and the Kansai refugees are digging canals to plan for their future livelihood.
The news that Liang Gong was promoted to an official position has been announced to the world, but it has hardly caused any waves in the Luonan and Jingbei areas. Even if there are, there are still voices of support.
Everyone seems to have acquiesced in this matter and will not object. Because of Liang Gong's prestige and military exploits, he can afford his current status.
After slowly digesting this matter, if Liang Gong makes new achievements, it seems that he can "go further".
This is the human heart.
