Longxi County, located in the far west of Yongzhou, is the source of the Yellow River. From this county to the north is Liangzhou and to the south is Yizhou. It can be said to be the junction of Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou. However,
Now these three states are owned by Luoyang, so the geographical location of Longxi is not so important.
The governor of Longxi County was the general Deng Dang who surrendered his army in Nanyang City. During the Battle of Nanyang, Deng Dang surrendered his army to defend against the enemy. After the Battle of Nanyang City, Deng Dang followed the army directly northward to capture Yongzhou. During this period
, Deng Dang made a lot of achievements, so he climbed up the ranks, and was appointed as the prefect of Longxi County two years ago.
Although Deng Dang is a military general, he has handled the government affairs of Longxi County very well in the past two years. Some time ago, Deng Dang also received a commendation from Chang'an. If nothing else, after this year, Deng Dang will have
Maybe he was transferred back to Chang'an to take up a post!
As the sun gradually set, Deng Dang slowly entered Longxi City with a small group of soldiers. After all, Deng Dang was also a military general, so he never forgot to train the defenders in the city, and now Deng Dang
It was to bring the soldiers and horses who had just been training in the suburbs back to the city.
Just after passing the city gate, Deng Dang looked up and saw a young military general in front of him walking towards him with a happy face. Deng Dang couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Wen Jie! Why are you here? But there is something wrong with the house.
What's going on?" This young general is Deng Dang's assistant and is currently the meritorious officer of Longxi County. His name is Jiang Ji, and Wen Jie is his cousin.
Although Jiang Jiong seems to be very ordinary, he is quite capable. Deng Dang has been able to manage Longxi County smoothly in the past two years, and Jiang Jiong deserves a lot of credit. Moreover, Jiang Jiong is also a person of good temperament.
, which suits Deng Dang's temper very well. They usually have a good personal relationship. They don't seem like superiors and subordinates, but rather like brothers.
Jiang Jiu came directly to greet Deng Dang and said with a smile: "Uncle He! Now I want to congratulate you! A messenger was just sent from Chang'an City and asked to see you by name! I think it's you who has been here in the past few years.
My lord is very satisfied with your achievements, and I want to transfer you back to Chang'an this time! Hahahaha! Uncle He! In the past two years, you have been thinking about your sister-in-law every day, and now you have finally got your wish. You can go back to see your sister-in-law!"
Shu He is Deng Dang's cousin, and after hearing what Jiang Ji said, Deng Dang's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise. He turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Jiang Ji, and grabbed Jiang Ji's arm.
, asked with disbelief: "Wenjie! Are you telling the truth? Oh! Great! I can finally go back to Chang'an!"
"Hahahaha! Who has the time to lie to you!" Jiang Ji smiled, opened Deng Dang's hand, pointed at Deng Dang and said: "Hurry up! I remembered it, you said that as long as you adjust
When you return to Chang'an, you will definitely give me a hand! I'm waiting to go to Chang'an with you! Don't turn your back and deny it then!" Of course Jiang Jiong said this as a joke. The two have known each other for two years. What kind of person is Deng Dang?
, how could Jiang Ji not know?
"Don't worry! You will be indispensable!" Deng Dang also patted Jiang Jiong's shoulder hard and laughed. Deng Dang naturally knew Jiang Jiong's ability. Staying in this small Longxi County is indeed a good thing.
It's a bit of an incompetence. Deng Dang believes that as long as there is a chance, Jiang Ji's future is absolutely limitless! Whether it is because of his friendship with Jiang Ji or his loyalty to Luo Yang, Deng Dang will help Jiang Ji get that opportunity.
!
Immediately, the two of them walked quickly towards the prefect's mansion in the city. As for the soldiers and horses that Deng Dang brought, Deng Dang directly asked his deputies to take them back to the military camp in the city. Along the way, the two of them were not satisfied.
While chatting about the plan to come to Chang'an City in the future, Jiang Ji asked with a smile: "Uncle He! I heard that your brother-in-law is very important in the lord's account now! Tell me, will you return to Chang'an this time?
, did your brother-in-law help you behind the scenes?"
Deng Dang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head and said: "You are talking about Amon! Haha! Impossible! When I was transferred to Longxi County, Amen once said that he would intercede for me.
, to see if I could stay in Chang'an, but I refused! At that time, I specifically told Amen that he was not allowed to go through the back door for favoritism! Don't look at Amen, this guy's official position is getting bigger and bigger now. As for my brother-in-law,
, he still has to listen!”
Jiang Jiong's words just now were not meant to be against Deng Dang. Jiang Jiong knew Dengdang's temperament very well, and he was definitely not the kind of vulgar person who relied on heresy to climb up the social ladder. So when Deng Dang said this, Jiang Jiong stopped mentioning it.
After thinking about it, he looked up at the sky and said: "Actually, Longxi is not bad. Although the place is a bit remote, there are not as many things as those in big cities. Living here is also a good choice.
!" Although Jiang Ji has great talent, his character tends to be indifferent and he is not so interested in pursuing fame and fortune.
And Deng Dang also knew this old friend very well. Dang even smiled and said: "You, you! You are still the same! But this time you have to go back to Chang'an with me no matter what you say! Even if you don't think about yourself,
You have to think about your precious son! I think Wei'er's intelligence is so high. If he stays here with you in Longxi, wouldn't it be a waste of his talents? According to me, Wei'er will definitely be a talent who can do big things in the future.
, if you can bring him to Chang'an and find him a good teacher to teach him, his future achievements will definitely be higher than yours!"
As soon as Deng Dang mentioned his son, Jiang Ji's face showed a little tenderness, and then he smiled again: "Go! What does it mean to be above me! How can my son's future achievements be compared to mine?"
Let’s compare! Hehe! Let me tell you! My son, Jiang Ji, will be a general and commander in the future! He will command thousands of troops and fight on the battlefield! He will achieve eternal feats! Hahahaha!" As he said, Jiang Ji's
His face was full of pride, as if he had already seen how majestic his son, who was only two or three years old, would look in the future.
"Okay! Okay! I know your son is great!" This was not the first time Deng Dang saw Jiang Jiong like this, and said with a smile: "Don't forget! Your son is also my son-in-law! If you let me
I know your son dares to treat my daughter badly! Hum hum! I don’t care whether your son will be a general or a commander-in-chief in the future, I can’t spare him!” As he spoke, Deng Dang clenched his fist and waved it hard.
Jiang Jiu had a son, and Deng Dang also gave birth to a daughter, who was born when Deng Dang came to Longxi to take office. Later, the friendship between Deng Dang and Jiang Jiu became deeper and deeper, and Deng Dang simply gave it to him.
The daughter and Jiang Jiong's son had arranged such a baby marriage. Jiang Jiong was also very happy about it, which made the relationship between the two families even closer.
The two of them were chatting and laughing like this before they reached the prefect's mansion and walked straight into the mansion. At this moment, the civil servants who stayed in the mansion were already running around anxiously. When they saw Deng Dang coming, they quickly ran to Deng Dang and saluted and said: "
Sir! You are finally back! Hurry up! The messenger from Chang'an is still waiting!"
Deng Dang also nodded and said to Jiang Ji: "Go to the study and wait for me. I will go see the envoy! I will come to you soon!"
Business was important, so Jiang Ji nodded and agreed to Deng Dang, and watched Deng Dang being dragged by the civil servant quickly towards the meeting hall in the mansion. Jiang Ji shrugged and walked straight to the other side of the prefect's mansion.
The relationship between Jiang Jiong and Deng Dang was unknown to everyone in Longxi City. Therefore, when Jiang Jiong usually walked around the prefecture, the guards would not say anything at all. And Jiang Jiong visited the inner courtyard of the prefecture not once or twice.
, turned left and right, and soon arrived at the study room.
After waiting in the study for a while, Jiang Ji's brows slowly knitted together. Deng Dang just went to meet the envoy from Chang'an. This time was too long, wasn't it? Is there something wrong?
As soon as this thought came up, Jiang Ji immediately shook his head and laughed to himself. In the Battle of Hangu Pass some time ago, the Western Qin Army defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces. Now is the time when the Western Qin Dynasty is at its peak.
What happened? Besides, Longxi County is located in the hinterland of Western Qin. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with Longxi!
At this time, Jiang Ji looked up and saw Deng Dang walking in from outside the study. Jiang Ji immediately put down the slip in his hand, smiled and greeted him, and said: "Uncle He! How about this?
Back to Chang'an for the first time..." Halfway through his words, Jiang Jiu stopped talking because he saw that Deng Dang's face turned very ugly, and when he thought of the thought that had just occurred to him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Deng Dang also walked directly in front of Jiang Ji, frowning and saying to Jiang Ji with a livid face: "Wen Jie! Something happened!"
Deng Dang's words once again confirmed Jiang Jiong's thoughts, which made the smile on Jiang Jiong's face disappear in an instant. Jiang Jiong asked nervously: "What's wrong? Uncle He! What happened?"
"Deng Dang also experienced many life-and-death battles back then. He was usually very calm, but now his face is so ugly, which shows that this matter is definitely unusual!
"The envoy sent from Chang'an this time was ordered by the lord to tell us an important piece of information!" Deng Dang did not mean to sell out, and directly replied: "Longxi County will be attacked by the Qiang and Huns.
A joint attack! The Lord hopes that we can strictly defend and defend Longxi County!"
"What!" Jiang Ji couldn't help but exclaimed. He almost jumped up and looked at Deng Dang with disbelief. He made sure that he was not joking again, but he still shook his head and said: "Impossible! Impossible! Huns
There are so many people concentrated in the north of Liangzhou, how could they come here to Longxi, let alone mix with the Qiang people! This is impossible!"
