Lei Yuan is a newly-established general in Jingzhou. He has achieved great results recently and his subordinates are also capable.
Such a momentum is more than enough to scare a group of minor officials and more than enough to ensure their safety in Jingnan. But it would be too arrogant to say anything to ensure that everyone acts freely in Xiangyang, Wancheng and other places.
There are no fools in the audience. Everyone knows that Lei Yuan said this simply to show his own strength and occupy a larger share in the future caravan formation and trade route maintenance. But bragging is not like this! No matter how strong your troops are, can you still send people to Xiangyang and Wancheng to escort materials?
Xiangyang, what is Wancheng? These two cities are important towns in Jingzhou under the rule of Xuchang court. Behind them is the Central Plains, relying on Prime Minister Cao’s heroic troops and thousands of tiger cavalry! Just last year, General Le Jin went south several times, and fought with Guan Yu in a difficult way... You, Lei Xuzhi, is probably in the south. After winning a few battles, you underestimated the heroes of the world. You also wanted to reach out to Xiangyang, Wancheng, which was ridiculously ignorant.
Lei Yuan looked around and saw some people lowering their heads to hide the sarcastic expressions on their faces, while others directly showed disapproving expressions.
Of course, they didn't dare to say anything in the moment, and they were still timid on the surface. However, the hall went from being hustle to being silent in a blink of an eye, and no one wanted to come forward to take on Lei Yuan's words. The atmosphere was as warm as it was, the deserted now.
Li Zhen held a banner and looked around, feeling a little embarrassed. He was also angry that these little people who were like ants dared to despise their general, and thought to himself: "The Sect Master is still too polite to them!"
Lei Yuan seemed to have no mind. He didn't bother to expose them. He waited quietly for a while, and saw that no one was talking, and said gently: "Everyone, what he said today is just a rough framework. As long as it is done well, it is not a problem for everyone to get rich; but to implement it, the quantity, price of goods required, the way of handover between the two parties, and the means of handling along the way still need to be discussed slowly. Tonight, you will also work hard, so you might as well have a good rest and talk about it in detail tomorrow."
Everyone said at this moment: "Okay, okay, we just happened to carefully study the general's proposal."
Then Lei Yuan turned into the back hall and everyone dispersed.
Since he occupied the county town, Lei Yuan did not treat them badly, so he arranged a lodging place for everyone in the county temple.
Some soldiers also came up to lead the way for Song Wan. Song Wan was alarmed by deep thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said to the soldier: "I have to pass the message at my best. I still have something to do. I want to see General Lei."
Because Song Wan was just sitting next to Lei Yuan, the soldiers could not figure out where he came from and immediately went to the back hall to report.
After a while, a entourage turned out: "My general is invited."
Song Wan hurriedly followed.
After walking a few steps, bypassing a tall door screen, he saw Lei Yuan and Yang Yi sitting and talking to each other.
When did this lord come here? Did he follow Liu Bei, or what?
Song Wan was suspicious and asked with a diligent smile: "Are General Lei and Chief Yang old acquaintances?"
Lei Yuan turned to Yang Yi and looked at him: "It's not really an old acquaintance, but it just hit it off at first sight. Yang Zhuan will soon return to Xiangyang. It will be difficult to meet again in the future!"
This is unclear, and Song Wan is still unable to see what Yang Yi stands for.
At this time, Lei Yuan asked again: "You are here to look for me, do you have any advice?"
"I really didn't give any advice. I just thought that after all, the county is close to Xiangyang. I wonder how many days will General Lei stop here? If the relevant details cannot be discussed in a short time, I will think that all the families will gather together in the future, and I am afraid it will be difficult."
"It's okay, at least I will be in the county tomorrow and the next day, which is enough for us to discuss it clearly." Lei Yuan replied.
"well."
"What else do you have?" Lei Yuan asked again.
Song Wan paused and replied, "I am a local. Today, the county town has changed hands. My wife and son may be panicked. I hope the general will forgive me and let me go home to check it out, so as to appease the emotions of the clan's children."
Lei Yuan nodded: "This is what you should do. You will do it yourself."
Song Wan bowed deeply and bowed backwards to the hall.
When his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lei Yuan smiled and said, "Look, this is here to urge me to leave the dangerous land as soon as possible to avoid the Cao army's encirclement. It's just that you, the chief clerk of Jingzhou, have no identity and dare not explain it thoroughly."
Yang Yi sneered: "There is only one person."
Lei Yuan said: "Let's see it tomorrow."
Song Wan hurried back to her home with Lei Yuan's permission.
The gate of Lifang was knocked open, and there were blood stains inside and outside the house. He thought that the whole family was lost in chaos and was so scared that he was so scared that he was weak. He was making trouble in the inner courtyard. When his wives, concubines and children came back, they all met him.
After all, it was a thrilling moment, and it was inevitable that the sadness and joy would be intertwined, crying, laughing and laughing, and a mess.
After finally letting them go, Song Wanzhao's disciples from home.
Although he was a remote branch of the Song family in Xiangyang, he was very valuable because he was responsible for the business of goods for a long time. Therefore, he raised more than a dozen fierce disciples and evil slaves, which he used to serve as a daily scene.
There were two original leaders of the disciples, one was Xiaomu and the other was Ma Qi. Maybe both were born as fugitives, fugitives, and fugitives, so they had no names and no surnames. Song Wan only called them nicknames. In contemporary custom, parents often gave their children a bad name, and nicknames were used to benefit their luck. When they grew up, others could also call their nicknames to show their intimacy.
Just as the Jingzhou army entered the courtyard, Xiaomu bravely fought against the enemy and was seriously injured in an instant. He was dying in the backyard. He was quick-witted and took his mistress and Song Wan's eldest son to the neighbor to take refuge in the wall, so he came to flatter him intact.
Song Wan asked Ma Qi, "How many guests are left in the family?"
"There are fifteen more weapons that can be used for minor injuries."
"Then let them continue to be on guard. In addition, collect soil, stones and other things as soon as possible to block the gate of the courtyard!"
The vest was shocked: "Do you still have to fight?"
Song Wan sighed: "It's a trivial matter before several walls were broken. If the county was broken into the enemy, how could Xiangyang be careless? You think, the county is more than 100 miles away from Xiangyang and only 40 miles away from the Yicheng Camp! The Jingzhou army seized the city tonight. At the latest tomorrow, the imperial army will inevitably go south to conquer. At that time, a military disaster will be avoided. Everyone, be prepared, I'll let people clean up the fine lines!"
After saying that, Song Wan rushed to the inner room. Ma Qi was stunned in the yard and went to greet her companions.
The most feared thing in this kind of troubled times is military disasters. If the imperial army heads south tomorrow, it would be fine if the Jingzhou army retreated. I am afraid that they will not know how to live or die and defend the city.
In that case, the Jingzhou army will inevitably order the strong men from all families to help with the war, and the number of casualties will never be small. When the imperial army regains the county town, it will inevitably lead troops to plunder and give to the soldiers. The people in the city will suffer!
At this moment, the Song family was busy all night and made various preparations.
Early the next morning, Song Wan led two dark circles to check the city gate first. Sure enough, the four gates were closed and were closely guarded by the Lei clan tribe of Lujiang. He felt a sudden sound and went to the county temple to find out some of the situation, but was blocked by the soldiers who were holding the door and said, "Once the general has time, he will naturally summon him."
It was obvious that the army was alone and not far from Xiangyang City, but the main general had no urgent emotions. He acted like a local official... What was wrong with this person? Is this crazy?
Song Wan remembered what Lei Yuan bragged about last night, which could ensure that the merchants were acting in Xiangyang, Wancheng and other places. Could it be that this Lei Xuzhizhi's reputation as the boss is actually a fool?
He had been patrolling in front of the county temple for a long time, but never saw Lei Yuan. At this time, he could no longer care about the Lexiang market and business, and his mind was filled with tragic military disasters. He couldn't help but feel cold all over, his upper and lower teeth were clattering. No matter how much money he had, he had to have the life to enjoy it. However, the situation in front of him...
It was about noon, and suddenly I heard the sound of several rapid golden drums on the top of the city.
"Here, come!" Song Wan cried and ran to his yard.
Along the way, I saw several families opening their doors and said happily: "It must be that the imperial army has arrived! The thieves will not be rampant for long!"
