When Lei Yuan went to Jianghuai, he chatted with his subordinates in the Jiangdong Navy warship, listing the old clan allies that might be used by him, including the He family in the county. Li Zhen was indeed a deliberate person.
The ancestors of the He family were the royal family of South Korea during the Warring States Period. After the fall of South Korea, the clan moved to Yuxian County. It has been 16 generations. The ancestors of all generations have served as Grand Secretary, General of the Chariot and Cavalry, and many 2,000-stone officials. The momentum has declined slightly since modern times, but they are still known for Confucianism. The clan leader He Xiuyou's "He Family Gongyang" has been passed down.
During the Guanghe period, He Xiu thought that the world was in chaos and was afraid of an unexpected disaster. He needed to bring the Xiongwu clan as foreign aid, so he married the clan daughter of Lei Xu and gave birth to a son Lei Xiu. The two families were in-laws and watched over and helped each other for more than 20 years. However, Mrs. He died early, so Lei Xu used the daughter of the Chen royal family as the successor and gave birth to the next son Lei Yuan.
However, three years ago, the Lei family of Lujiang served in Jiangdong, and the He family did not follow and did not participate in the military operations of the Haoyou Alliance in Huainan. When the Lei family of Lujiang retreated to Jingzhou, the two families lost contact.
Now the one who is in charge of He County is He Xiu's legitimate grandson He Zhen and He Yuangan. Lei Yuan had some contacts with him when he was a teenager, but because of the huge gap between them, he had no close friends. To put it clearly, He Zhen looked down on Lei Yuan almost without any concealment, and was kind to the brave and fighting young general Lei Xiu.
Can you imagine that Lei Xiu died in the mountain, and his second son Lei Yuan, who was not valued, turned over? Who would have thought that Lei Yuan would actually bring troops back to Lujiang on the day?
Perhaps it was because of this that when Lei Yuan returned to Lujiang and conquered Huan County in one battle, He Zhen was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment and came up with a trick to send his daughter to serve. According to Li Zhen, he actually gave him his sister.
After the army entered the city, it is common to choose young women from local wealthy families to serve generals and schoolmen at all levels. Those who can do this are considered to be a strict army of military discipline; those who are a little relaxed will directly lead troops to the door to rob, and the people have no place to argue.
At this moment, officers below Lei Yuan might have received the contributions of the city's wealthy families. They either refused or were honest and unceremoniously included in the room to enjoy it, without reporting Lei Yuan.
But Lei Yuan was full of military affairs and had no idea.
"How is this person available?" Lei Yuan asked.
Lei Yan, Mei Cheng and others were thinking about it in the hall.
Although he was known as the leader of the Lujiang Lei Clan, when it comes to the situation of the Lujiang rich and scholars, Lei Yuan’s own knowledge is far inferior to Lei Yan and Mei Cheng.
When he was young, Lei Yuan had traveled around the local area and interacted with local figures. However, the Lei family of Lujiang was a Haowu family and was not known for his knowledge. Although he had tried his best to read some books, his ability to write poems and articles was not as good as that of a serious Confucian scholar. The local scholars in Lujiang felt that he was not knowledgeable enough and was not a partner who could advance together in the career path. The local tyrants and local tyrants felt that he was weak in character and far inferior to his brother Lei Xiu, so there were few people who were close to him.
Therefore, at this time, Lei Yuan urgently summoned Lei Yan and Mei Cheng to invite these two people with extensive friendship to jointly counsel.
After hearing Lei Yuan’s inquiry, Lei Yan replied: “Or it is available.”
Lei Yuan frowned: "Or? Are you not sure?"
"He Xiu was a Confucian scholar of a generation. The He family in Fengxian has established a foothold in Confucianism and has been passed down from generation to generation. To be honest, he has received the reputation of the hometown and the noble family inheritance... Compared to our Lujiang Lei family, cough cough..."
"I don't know how taller than our Lujiang Lei family." Lei Yuan interfaced.
The Lujiang Lei family is just a large-scale tyrant, and it is really impossible to compare with the family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Lei Yuan said himself, and Lei Yan could continue. While thinking, he said, "So they married my Lei family that day, using the tribe daughter, not the legitimate daughter. Because the tribe daughter is enough. Now they took the initiative to offer the legitimate daughter to serve the sect leader. I think... it's a bit strange, and it seems to be too attentive."
"Maybe they were intimidated by the might of me, General Fenwei, and really wanted to show their gratitude?"
"It's not impossible. But I'm really not sure." Lei Yan said.
"So, who else can be used except them?" Lei Yuan couldn't help but gently hit the next few cases: "The envoys have been sent in this county, and not anyone can be fooled by the next group of people... And the current situation is that we can only have a chance by urging Xiahou Dun to advance quickly!"
The changes in the battlefield situation were always unexpected. The Lei family's army easily captured the victory of the county, because Xiahou Dun was here, it became a mistake. He could have besieged the city and easily mobilized the enemy, but now he has to worry that Xiahou Dun is too slow to move.
Mei Cheng suddenly said, "General, I have a plan to make He use it for me."
"Oh?" Lei Yuan was happy: "Speak quickly!"
After a while, Lei Yuan pushed the door open and waved.
Li Zhen stepped forward and bowed.
Previously, Lei Yan and Mei Cheng asked Li Zhen in detail how He Zhen contacted him and how he tempted him to give him someone to Lei Yuan's room. Li Zhen had been beaten for this and was repeatedly questioned at this time. He felt guilty twice, and was once ashamed and cried.
He didn't dare to stay away, and he kept waiting outside the hall with two swollen eyes. Seeing Lei Yuan recruiting people, he hurried up.
As a result, Lei Yuan asked, "Where is Li Qi?"
Li Qi hurriedly ran out of the side room: "Here!"
"You go and call He Zhen here, I want to see him." Lei Yuan said: "Don't talk too much on the road!"
In the middle of the night, people were summoned suddenly, what good or bad is the master? Is there any troubles to follow? Li Qi was stunned, but he didn't dare to ask too much, and said, "Abide by the order!"
And Li Zhen couldn't help crying again.
At this time, the people who repaired the city defense and cleaned up the bodies were sleeping, and the city was quiet. When Li Qi led his men to ride out, the sound of hooves gradually faded along the street, alarming several lifangs, and the barking of dogs came one after another.
Lei Yuan washed his face with cold water and cheered up his energy and waited.
After a while, He Zhen arrived.
He was not old, only about twenty years old, and he looked very handsome. Although he was urgently summoned, he looked calm and had no panic at all. Under Lei Yuan's attention, he slowly walked into the hall and paid a visit calmly.
Lei Yuan stood up and helped him: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I just feel that Yuangan's elegance is more elegant than the past, which is enviable."
He Zhen bowed again and replied, "I have heard of the general's name as a hero thousands of miles away. Over the years, I have often regretted that I did not know a hero when I was young, so I did not even get a horse."
The two smiled and greeted each other a few times. Lei Yuan asked about the situation of the people in He Zhen's family. He Zhen replied that most of the elders died of illness in the troubled times. Now there are five peer brothers from the two He family members in the family. Except for He Qi, the eldest son, who was not in the city, the other four were there.
Lei Yuan asked He Zhen again what his career was. He Zhendao had met Wen Hui, the new governor of Yangzhou, and might have hope of pursuing Ming Jing.
After chatting for a few more words, He Zhen said, "Just just now, I asked my sister to lead several girls to serve the general, but was sent back by the general. Uh... Although my girl is ordinary in appearance and elegant in character, she has less knowledge. If she offended the general, I will punish her severely."
"So that's actually Yuan Gan's sister? I'm rude." Lei Yuan replied: "Yuan Gan must not punish the order girl. It's just that I'm plagued by military affairs and feel bored. I really have no intention of being in the gentle village..."
He thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I led my troops here this time to cooperate with the attack of Wu Hou in Jianghuai, and I will not be stationed in Yunxian County for a long time. Yuangan, you and I are old acquaintances when I was young. We can meet again in this chaotic world, which will further show our fate. Therefore, I intend to give you a contribution."
He Zhen was silent for a moment and replied bitterly: "He passed down from Confucianism. There are all scholars in the clan who are powerless. I really don't know where to help the general?"
"Haha, Yuan Gan is too worried. Our army has its own warriors in conquest on the battlefield, and there is no need for Yuan Gan to help."
"Oh? What does the general need me to do?"
"I will raise troops north to attack Lu'an tomorrow morning. Regardless of whether the war in Lu'an is going well, I will return within three or five days. During these three or five days, I will entrust Yuangan to take care of him in the county for a little while, how about it?"
