The news of Wanzhi's pregnancy had been concealed, but now it suddenly came out, and everyone in Yingzhou was celebrating. All the military generals came to congratulate one after another, and officials with status from all over the country also rushed to Liucheng to congratulate. Even the King of Bohai and Xin
King Luo also sent a generous gift a month later. As for the newly appointed Governor of Xiongjin Prefecture, Zhen Xuan, he personally came from Quanzhou and presented a generous gift of 100,000 yuan!
Zhao Zaili, the governor of Yuguan, came to Liucheng the day after the news of Wanzhi's pregnancy came out, and he was accompanied by Yuhou Yuanxingqin. Along the way, they saw the bustling and busy scene of Yingzhou.
When it came to the carts of supplies that the merchants were escorting along the way, those carts were constantly traveling along the trade road. Often, before the previous convoy could be left behind, another convoy appeared in front of them.
Zhao Zaili sighed: "Li Langsheng is in a good situation!"
Yuan Xingqin also sighed and nodded slightly unconsciously. He nodded not to agree or affirm Li Chengzhong, but to think hard about the reasons for all these changes. He had been to Bailang Mountain once before,
He also dismissed the "Pingzhou Army Front Camp" in Bailang Mountain, but it was the "front camp" he dismissed that created today's situation.
The great victory at Bailangshan, the capture of Liucheng and Yanjun, the battles in the Xiaoling River and Wugu river basins, the great victory at Lumingwa, the capture of Huaiyuan Military City, the great victory at Xijing, the great victory at Shangjing, the capture of Beiyuan, the great victory at Songyue... this series of glorious victories.
If it still doesn't arouse his thinking, then he is really not a qualified officer. What made Li Chengzhong go from a capital to the battalion command, from the battalion command to the military envoy, and finally ascended to the high position of the governor of Yingzhou?
What? Is it really that kind of queue that looks good but is useless? Is there something else unknown behind the training of that kind of queue?
Zhao Zaili immediately set off from Yuguan and rushed to Liucheng after hearing the news of Li Cheng's triumphant victory in the Eastern Expedition. In addition to being ordered to come, he also wanted to congratulate and say goodbye to his former friend in the Jianzu camp. As for
Yuan Xingqin took the initiative to accompany him. He wanted to know more about the former "Pingzhou Army Front Camp" and the current Yingzhou Army.
Now Li Chengzhong is the governor of Yingzhou granted by the imperial court and a strong military general. He has far surpassed Zhao Zaili, the governor of Yuguan, and in some respects, even surpassed many high-ranking figures in the Lulong Army, such as
Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing was the governor of Jizhou and the military envoy. Although he was similar in position to the governor of Yingzhou, his actual power was not as great as that of Li Chengzhong, because Li Chengzhong's confession also included the sentence "the governor of the military outside the pass." This
This authority far exceeds the "General Manager of Shanbei Camp" that Zhao Jing carries on his head - although Li Chengzhong is only the chief lieutenant of Shanbei Camp.
To be honest, Zhao Zaili still has a little inferiority complex. He and Li Chengzhong followed Zhou Zhiyu to Pingzhou to guard the border at the same time. At that time, their military rank was higher than that of each other, but now, they have reached the top of the Lulong Army. Although he is also a senior
The title of Yuguan Guards has not been fought in a year and a half.
In addition, Zhao Zaili was still a little uneasy. He was also from the old Zhao family and the concubine of Youwuwei General Zhao Yuande. However, Zhao Yuande had too many sons and did not pay any attention to his concubine. He also suffered from other problems at home when he was young.
Due to the oppression of his brothers, even his mother could not bear the anger of other Zhao family concubines, especially the Cui family, and eventually died of depression. After his mother's death, Zhao Zaili left home and joined Zhou Zhiyu. Later Zhao Zaili was
Zhou Zhiyu recommended him as the guardian of Yuguan, and Zhao Yuande gave him some small attention. However, in Zhao Zaili's heart, he had far from any affection for his father - this is the tragedy of a rich and bastard. Between Zhao Yuande and Li Chengzhong
He had heard about the conflicts between them, and he didn't know if Li Chengzhong still wanted to see him.
Therefore, Zhao Zaili did not inform Li Chengzhong of his coming to Liucheng in advance. When he was halfway on the road, he heard that Li Chengzhong had a concubine in his family, so he planned to enter Liucheng to buy some gifts and then visit the Governor's Mansion. But who knew that he had just arrived?
At the south gate of Liucheng, he saw that the passage outside the city gate had been cleared by sergeants. Dozens of people were gathering under the city to wait. He could not figure out the situation. When he got closer, he found Li Chengzhong striding over from the crowd, opening his arms.
He gave himself a bear hug and laughed loudly: "Old Zhao, you sneaked into Liucheng without saying a word, and you don't treat me, Old Li, as one of your own, right? You're fined to drink tonight, and you're not allowed to cheat!" He said, tugging.
He picked up Zhao Zaili's arm and walked towards the Yingzhou Wenwu Center behind him. As he walked, he said: "Old Zhao is here. The brothers are waiting for you. Lao Zhang, Lao Jiang, Lao Zhou, and Ke Dao all said that we would be here tonight.
I’ll give you a good fuck! By the way, Lao Zhou changed his name to Zhou Kan, and he’s not the Zhou Machete he used to be..."
Zhao Zaili suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth and was speechless. He just met the Yingzhou civil and military personnel one by one, and from time to time he was punched in the chest or shoulder. He thought to himself: Yes, this
He is still the same Li Chengzhong as before, and he is still the old brother from the Jianzu Camp. It is because he is worrying too much.
Li Chengzhong did not miss Yuan Xingqin, he put his arms around Yuan Xingqin and introduced to his subordinates: "Do you all know each other? Back then, Brother Yuan and Zhang Long Yuhou sent the most precious supplies to our Bailang Mountain. If not
Brother Yuan, we didn’t know how to survive the winter back then!”
With different identities, the effects of words spoken and actions are also different. If Li Chengzhong in Bailang Mountain used this non-mainstream way to hug Yuan Xingqin that transcended the times, maybe Yuan Xingqin would not be happy.
But now, in Yuan Xingqin's eyes, Li Chengzhong's actions revealed such kindness, which instantly narrowed the huge gap in rank between the two. Yuan Xingqin was happy in his heart, but he said humbly: "Captain
That's too much praise. I am responsible for my duties and I don't deserve the praise from the governor. I didn't expect that after so many years, the brothers have achieved so much. I am really ashamed and inexplicable."
Li Chengzhong did not even forget the more than ten soldiers led by Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin, and greeted him: "Brothers have come a long way to work hard. Come to the city with me, Lao Li, and have a good drink... Hey, Xiao Maozi is here too? What's more?
Very good... Don't be so polite, we are all brothers from the old camp... Now we are in the Guards? Tsk tsk, I have grown taller..."
Mao Zhang was the youngest sergeant in the Jianzu camp at that time, and he had also met Li Chengzhong. The person he admired most in the past two years was not his own Shangguan Zhao Zaili, but Li Chengzhong, who was famous in the Northeast. He always liked to brag and fart with others.
, talking about how he was with Governor Li back then, but in fact, he had no idea whether Li Chengzhong still remembered him. Unexpectedly, he was recognized by Li Chengzhong at a glance, especially when he heard the sigh of "I have grown taller", I immediately
Tears filled his eyes for a while, and he choked with sobs and said: "Captain... I still remember a certain..."
Li Chengzhong chuckled and said, "I still like cat urine. We are all brothers. Why cry? We are happy!"
When everyone came to the Governor's Mansion, Li Chengzhong ordered a banquet to be held. At the same time, he pulled Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin to Li Chengyue: "Dejian, let me introduce you to my good brother. This is Qianchen, who was with me at Jianzu Camp.
We joined the army together and are now the guards of Yuguan. This is Yuhou Yuanweicheng under Qianchen..."
Li Chengyue stood up with a smile and greeted Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin: "I've heard that these two people, the 19th son of the Zhao family and the third son of the Yuan family, will definitely have a few drinks when we meet today." In fact, he didn't know these two.
He didn't care. He had heard about Zhao Zaili. He was a concubine and later left the Zhao family in anger. Although Yuan Xingqin was a legitimate son, the Yuan family was not enough in front of the Li family! Don't look at him being so polite to Li Chengzhong.
, but that is Li Chengzhong, now the most dazzling rising star of Lu Longjun, Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin seem to have little weight. This is the pride of the legitimate son of a wealthy family, and it cannot be said to be a bad problem, because this is the practice of this era.
The reason why Li Chengyue was so polite was because these two people were brothers Li Chengzhong. They were friends of his future wife and brother, so they naturally had to give him some respect.
Who is Li Chengyue? The future successor of the Li family, even now, is the Yanchi Guard, General Dingyuan. The Yanchi Guard is many times more important than the Yuguan Guard. Yanchi is an important town in Lulong.
It is the only salt-producing place under Lulong's jurisdiction. At the same time, Li Chengyue is also the general of Dingyuan. Although Zhao Zaili has the reputation of being the guard of Yuguan, he does not have many soldiers under his command. He is only a captain of Guoyi. As for Zhao Zaili
Not to mention Yuan Xingqin. So Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin both shouted respectfully: "General Li."
Li Chengzhong smiled from the side and said: "Qianchen and Wei Cheng came at the right time. Dejian came to ask for a wife. I will give him a few drinks for me in a while!"
Compared with his attitude towards Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin, Li Chengyue looked down upon Li Chengzhong: "That... brother Zicheng... brother-in-law..."
"Wait a minute, I haven't had a drink yet. Remove the word 'brother-in-law' first!" Li Chengzhong glared.
Li Chengyue bent down even lower: "Isn't it sooner or later...I will definitely have a drink with my wife and brother tonight! Well...how about it? Just accept the marriage certificate..."
Li Chengzhong smiled and turned away, leaving Li Chengyue scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously.
After Li Chengzhong was granted the title of Governor of Yingzhou by the imperial court, Li Juncao, the young master of the prince, finally agreed to his son's marriage, so Li Chengyue waited until he finally brought Li Chengzhong back from Bohai. In fact, Lan'er's parents and relatives
The elder brother is in Liucheng at the moment, but although Li Chengyue married Lan'er, Li Juncao married Li Chengzhong. This is something everyone knows. If Li Chengzhong doesn't come back to receive the marriage certificate, Li Chengyue will not be able to marry Lan'er.
Welcome into the house. As soon as Li Chengzhong came back, Li Chengyue flew to Liucheng.
Seeing that Li Chengyue, who had a transcendent status in the Lulong Army, was beaten to death by Li Chengzhong, Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin were even more moved.
Everyone at the table once again congratulated Li Chengzhong, and Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin were even more ashamed. They had arrived in a hurry and did not expect this, so they arrived empty-handed, which was really unjustifiable. Mao Zhang was quite clever and took the initiative to send the people who came with him——
The valuable objects in Zhao Zaili and Yuan Xingqin's arms were gathered together, and when no one was paying attention at the banquet, they ran out to buy a gift, and then managed to cope with it.
