On the first day of July in the tenth year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty (316), the sun was scorching hot in Wancheng.
Le Kai, the military chief of the Mianbei shogunate, led a group of subordinates and was practicing for Yangman.
After Yang Zuyan was placed in the internal history position of 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.
Lucky is quite envious of this, 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." Yangman said.
As a sensitive person, he could actually guess Lucky's little thoughts.
Liang Gong's eldest son, Shao Zhang, is nine years old, and he still has no legitimate son. Do you think Le Kai has any thoughts? He didn't have any thoughts at first, but now he has thoughts.
It's a pity that Yangshi doesn't have much thought, alas.
Yang Xianrong's identity is shady, and Mr. Liang doesn't have the guts to directly take her into the palace. He can't see her a few times throughout the year, and there is no sign of a child yet. 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 peacefully, handle official affairs, and give orders to all directions.
But it’s difficult for a person of his background.
Without personal conquest, prestige cannot be established. Without prestige, it is difficult for people to surrender. After all, Liang Gong does not have the prestige brought by family status, so he can only rely on military exploits to make up for his shortcomings.
If we go on an expedition, we will gather less and leave more. We have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse?
Thinking of this, he was in a bad mood, so he picked up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
"I can't leave yet." Le Kai half sighed and said half complacently: "Wang Chuzhong has gathered his troops and may attack at any time. There is no stopping."
The reason why Liang Gong was able to kill everyone in the north was because there was someone who guarded the south for him, and that person was Le Hongxu.
Which of the counties and states 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 there are no less than 20,000 who dare to fight and have experienced many wars.
Yongraoye kept making weapons and armor day and night, and even the equipment of the Leshi Tribe became more 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 bluntly, under this situation, he didn't really want to move away.
Just stay in Wancheng, farm and train troops, go to war, train generals, and promote 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 was another thing that made him uncomfortable in Nanyang, and that was the existence of Nanyang Kingdom.
Good guy, the Nanyang Kingdom has almost become the "Kuanxi Kingdom" now. Countless Hu and Han refugees have poured in. Some of them were sent to Runan, some of them fled to Xiangyang and Jiangling, and some were absorbed by the Nanyang Kingdom and settled into the same household.
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, a man named Huangfu Yang who came from Kansai went out with the refugee army.
.
After the war, these refugees were registered as households in Nanyang Kingdom.
Le Kai could hardly intervene in the affairs of Nanyang Kingdom, and could only give them orders such as setting off and withdrawing troops as military commander.
How other people's armies are organized and mobilized has nothing to do with him.
There is a man behind Princess Nanyang! Alas.
"Wang Chuzhong is just 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 just like that, and it will not work.
event."
"Haha." Hearing what Yangman said, Lucai was overjoyed.
The staff who were present at the banquet also joined in the laughter.
"I accept your auspicious words." Le Kai picked up the wine bottle and said, "I will defeat Wang Chuzhong sooner or later and offer a gift to Duke Liang as a general."
"General..." Yang Man was filled with emotion. He picked up the wine bottle and said, "Drink a drink for the general."
"For the general." Everyone picked up their wine bottles and drank them all in one gulp.
Liang Gong was promoted to general, recorded the affairs of the ministers, and established the Bafu in Bianliang. He made solid progress step by step.
As members of Liang Gong's subordinates, the Mianbei shogunate's assistants were also very happy and full of energy. They walked with wind in their eyes, thinking about the rich and 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 be proactive, and sometimes you will even perform beyond your level.
But if you don’t have a head start, you won’t have much energy, and you’ll just have to spend your days dawdling.
For example, Yu Zhi used to make money in Sima Yue's house, travel around the mountains and rivers, drink and drink, and gained a bad reputation. Now, he can also make money, but he can also work very quickly while making money.
He carried out Liang Gong's orders to the letter and even drank a lot less wine. Since Liang Gong hated taking powder, Yu Zhi did not dare to do it openly. He could only take it secretly in private, and the frequency was greatly reduced.
The Mianbei Shogunate is currently in a state of gradually rising morale, and Lucai can feel it.
"After I left and before the new internal history took office, Hongxu helped me keep an eye on things. Speaking of which, it was also my hard work. All of my children were born in Shunyang, and I couldn't bear to cause trouble." Yang Man looked at Lucai,
Said seriously.
"Don't worry, Zu Yan." Le Kai promised: "If Liang Gong is so powerful, whoever dares to cause trouble, I will personally command troops to conquer him. Whoever dares to say weird things, I will personally come to your door and scold him until he wakes up."
"Haha." Yangman laughed: "Hongxu, you are drunk."
Lucky also smiled.
Now that 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 the fact that Liang Gong collected famous ladies for his enjoyment made people jealous even more.
Anyway, there are many people who have opinions about him.
Lucky now has subjective initiative and feels that he should wake up these people 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'm really worried about his Shao family affairs.
****
After the practice banquet was over, Yangman set out on the road with a few followers.
When he went to Duyang to rest, he met a convoy. After asking about it, 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, then at the draft horse pulling the carriage, and made a sound of surprise.
Yang Man looked at Liang Gong's eldest daughter with a smile - this was a secret to most people, but not to him.
Princess Liu had a sad face and a gloomy expression. After coming over to salute, she sat aside in a daze and let her servants prepare the meal.
Only when Liang Gong's name was mentioned, her eyes would show some sparkle.
This is also a poor woman, Yang Man sighed to himself.
If he hadn't happened to be in Guandong, he would have died or been captured by the Xiongnu. Who knows who fell into his hands.
The person who escorted the concubine and her daughter to the north was Lieutenant Yuan Xi of Nanyang.
This man had a stern face and was not good at talking, 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 long he can hold on."
Yuan Xi was 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 isolate the Lantian-Wuguan Road, and built Cangcheng and military camps behind the pass. They seemed to have plans to break into Nanyang.
What does Lieutenant Yuan think?"
"It would be better to go against this path and attack Lantian directly to scare the Huns." Yuan Xi said.
"That would require tens of thousands of troops." Yangman 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 the affairs of the minister?"
Yuan Xi glanced at him and said, "Although I don't know how to read, I still know something."
"How does Nanyang Junior High School comment on this matter?"
"Every time a displaced family is resettled in Nanyang, they all tell them that this is the land granted by Mr. Chen." Yuan Xi said, "Everyone is excited and happy."
Yang Man nodded and said: "In the past, thousands of soldiers in the Shexian battle have settled in Junyi and Kaifeng. When they moved their families, everyone was envious of them. The situation in Nanyang is indeed as stable as Mount Tai. Liang Gong's reputation is far and wide.
Sow it and it will take off."
Yuan Xi was a little happy after hearing this.
He is the lieutenant of Nanyang, and the main officers under him are all from Liang Gong's personal soldiers. It can be said that one will be prosperous and one will suffer. As Liang Gong moves 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.
Yangman looked at this energetic little girl and was very fond of her, 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, "Did he fall from the sky to catch rabbits?"
"Yes."
"I want to eat!" Fu Bao jumped up and said loudly.
"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 came over, held his daughter in his arms, and whispered a few words.
Fu Bao refused to obey and twisted around, trying to escape.
Mrs. 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 was summer, and after the farmers had finished weeding the fields, they looked carefully at the spring wheat that was growing taller and taller.
There is a wealthy family on the other side of the river. The owner and his guests are chatting and laughing in front of the door, and the sound can be heard far away.
Further 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 a higher official position has been announced to the world, but in Luonan and Jingbei areas, there was almost no wave. Even if there were, there were voices of support and approval.
It seems that everyone has 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.
