Chapter 112: The Vicissitudes of Life

The desperate general ascended to a high position, and this atmosphere made Xiangping and even the entire Liaodong immersed in joy in the following days, and even the county city tax was exempted, and it was close to celebrating the county. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

To the south of Xiangping, the land that first belonged to the Gongsun domain of Liaodong was only fourteen miles away from Tiewu, and in the middle of the large fertile and fertile fields, there was a manor that did not look magnificent but was very rich.

The owner of this manor is Jiang Jin, the former captain of Liaodong.

"Look, look at you with this on your head, it's called wiping your forehead, I've heard someone say in Fanhan that the dignitaries and nobles of Goguryeo have this thing tied to their foreheads." Jiang Jin looked at Wang Yi from head to toe with a look of envy, and the fierce Jixian villain on the battlefield was like an old peasant in the countryside who had never seen the world, like reaching out and touching it and was a little timid, "Look at this big man, damn it, it's out of breath, Ayi, you're out of breath!" ”

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, in the past, when the brothers were living a hard life, everyone was similar, and they would wear a set of broken leather armor and think it was a lot of things, Jiang Jin couldn't think that Wang Yi This kid came back from Dongyi Goguryeo like a changed person, the kind of bearing from the inside out reminded him of the few times he had seen scholars in Jizhou.

Even...... Wang Yi is more luxurious in clothes than the scholars he has seen, Zhen Yan and others.

Wang Yi laughed when he heard Jiang Jin's words, took off his forehead and handed it to Jiang Jin, took off the big coat and put it on the case casually, and didn't care if he landed on the placket, put the futon in the lobby and kicked it aside, pulled Jiang Jin and the two people to sit cross-legged by the bonfire, opened his mouth and smiled and instructed the servants and maids in the house: "A few pieces of clothing and clothing, can you compare to such a big house?" Don't say anything else, hey, don't look at it, bring all the good wine from your master's house! ”

The servant didn't dare to answer, Jiang Jin glared and said, "I didn't listen to what my brother said, go, get all the good wine!" ”

Jiang Jin's house began to be repaired after the battle of Liaoshui and the land was divided, but in a blink of an eye, he was sent by Yanbei to the easternmost border of the Han Dynasty, and he never came after repairing it, and this time he was dismissed by Yanbei from the rank of captain, so he led his subordinates back to Xiangping and had the opportunity to live in.

These slaves were all newly purchased, and they may have heard of the murderous name of Jiang Jin, the new master, but they never knew the name of Wang Yi. Now Liaodong knows Yanbei, Fu Zhu, Gao Lan, and Lu Yi, followed by Jiang Jin, Li Damu, Zhang Leigong, and Sun Qing, even if Yandong is so close to Yanbei, he is almost forgotten, not to mention Wang Yi, who is already not famous.

"Our brothers haven't seen each other for more than half a year, I heard that you are serving their son in Dongyi, come and tell me, what have you done, then Dongyi is as rich as you, wearing gold and silver?" After a while, the slave driven by Jiang Jin moved the wine urn and poured it for the two of them, Jiang Jin held the wine bottle and drank with Wang Yi, his words were full of close envy, "Look, leading the captain of the Han Dynasty and serving the prince of Dongyi, no one in our Youzhou has the ability to do this!" ”

"What kind of ability am I!" Wang Yi smiled and drank with Jiang Jin, and at the end he heroically wiped the corners of his mouth with plain clothes, "Don't be sarcastic, I pretend to be a character all day long in Goguryeo, and I don't dare to sit like this, for fear of insulting the national body and making the Yi people look down on me...... Where do they everyone wear gold and silver, like our Han people, the good ones are high-ranking officials and nobles, and the poor people are the first to wade through mountains and rivers, but there are many people who don't even have straw sandals. You see that I dress well because I am the waiter of their princes, just like the servants around our princes, and the clothes must naturally conform to the system. ”

Jiang Jin let out a long breath and asked Wang Yi: "They didn't have any ability, so even if they beat them, they won't get anything, what else did Erlang send you to do there." ”

"They are not rich, but they are also capable, and Ah Jin Mo wants to underestimate them. Goguryeo was different from Buyeo and Samhan, and their people were warlike and fierce, and from top to bottom, they were thinking about how to expand and raise troops in all directions...... I had the same thoughts as you when I didn't go before, but now, I wish we could send troops to destroy Goguryeo, but my strength is not good! ”

"Lack of strength? This Erlang has so many soldiers, and he can't sweep away a little Dongyi? As soon as Jiang Jin heard that Wang Yichang and others were angry and destroyed his prestige, he sat up straight, knocked on the floor and said: "Let me tell you, I have not been idle in Fanhan, I have entered the southern part of Goguryeo three times, they are not vulnerable to armor at all, and some of the garrisons on the southern border still use bronze swords, and Xianbei Wuhuan has a virtue!" ”

"It's not the same thing, they do have poor armor, the armor on the southern border is actually quite good, that's the soldiers you haven't seen on the northern border, their five slave soldiers and Buyeyu people are all shirtless and carry wooden spears to the battlefield, but they don't dare to complain when they climb the ice and snow in the cold winter and the moon, are you good soldiers?" Wang Yi shook his head and asked Jiang Jin not to underestimate the enemy, and said: "They also have strong soldiers in the country, and the five major divisions all have elite soldiers in their hands, the same rhino skin armor, and even iron armor. ”

"Although the Liaodong soldiers are strong, they are not the opponents of the five Goguryeo tribes joining forces with nearly 100,000 horses, and all we can do is to divide them and divide them, so that they can have a chance for civil strife." This trip to Goguryeo for more than half a year has greatly improved Wang Yi's personal vision, in the past, he only paid attention to the little things he experienced, but now he is with the prince Baqi, all day long to see the exchanges and wars between countries, open and secret battles, and none of the brothers who started together in Weimo in the past have a thorough understanding of the situation in Liaodong. Saying that, Wang Yi said to Jiang Jin: "You didn't ask me what I was doing in Goguryeo, I can talk to you about this." ”

"They are not so much a kingdom as a loose county united by several tribes like the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and in their history, the founding of the country was like this more than a hundred years ago, and it has not changed until now. They learned the culture of the Han Dynasty and used our language and writing, but there was a big difference in employing people. Regardless of background, as long as someone is found to have ability, he can get a status far beyond his ability...... Because there are too few talented people. ”

"In all respects, I was originally just a businessman, buying and selling pottery and lacquerware at the border with the support of Erlang, or teaching their slaves how to farm, and as a result, I relied on these and bribes, and became their son's servant, and was even introduced by the prince as a staff member...... Because it seemed to them that I had seen the world. Wang Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, then pointed at Jiang Jin and said: "It's the same with fighting, they don't pay attention to the art of war and strategy, they just fight fiercely." In Dahan, brother, you have the ability to be a captain under the general, but on their side, a warrior like you can lead the whole country to fight! ”

"Ruling the country?" Jiang Jin's eyes widened, but then he said curtly: "Come on, now even the captain has been dismissed by Erlang." ”

"Of course, the whole country thinks that strategy and the art of war are useless things, and they only rely on soldiers and brave soldiers to fight." Wang Yi said, and heard Jiang Jin say that the captain was dismissed by Yanbei, so he changed his words and asked: "I also heard about this, what's the matter, Erlang is closest to you, how can you be removed from your official position?" ”

Jiang Jin let out a long sigh and drank it all with the wine bowl, and then asked Wang Yi, "Did you come back this time and see him?" ”

"I saw it, he set up a banquet as soon as he came back, but he mourned Zhen's Erlang and didn't drink." Wang Yi thought about it and smiled, the ghost knew why Yanbei wanted to mourn Zhen Yan, anyway, he felt that the relationship between the two was not so close. Then he said to Jiang Jin: "Erlang also mentioned you that day, saying that he picked you up before I came back, and he didn't drink alcohol." But at that time, I didn't say that your lieutenant was dismissed, and I only heard others tell me later, you didn't see Erlang? ”

"Hey, don't mention it! I saw it, but I didn't get a sip of wine. And he dismissed our school lieutenant, you said that if you think Jiang Mou did something wrong, it's not good, right, what can't our brothers say, he didn't mention anything with a smile that day, and turned his head to give me a separate department, what do you call this? The mention of this made Jiang Jin's heart blocked, and he waved his hand and said: "It's different, old brother before, do you know what everyone in Liaodong calls Erlang now?" ”

"What's it called?" Wang Yi held the wine bottle and said casually: "What can you call it, call it a general." ”

"Call the lord!" Jiang Jin looked at Wang Yi with a rare and strange look, and said slowly: "Now all the big and small military and civil servants in Liaodong, even the frustrated prince and the lord call him the lord!" There is no one who dares to call him Erlang, there are only you and me. ”

Compared with Jiang Jin's sensitivity to the word lord, Wang Yi was very open-minded, drank the wine smoothly, and asked in surprise: "If you call the lord, you will call the lord, what's wrong?" If there is no Erlang, I am still a little blacksmith who is bullied by others in Liaodong, leading everyone to live a good life, not to mention calling him the lord, even calling him the king and your majesty! ”

"I'm going to tell you to call it, but I don't call it anyway." Jiang Jin turned his head away, waved his hand as if angry: "I didn't do a good job in Xi'an Pingdang county order, he exempted the county order, not to mention that the captain was also exempted, I don't blame him, it's a big stall." Whoever dares to bare his teeth at him, I will still carry a knife to kill people. But when I think he is a brother, it is impossible to call the lord! ”

Wang Yi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, looking at Jiang Jin for a long time and deciding not to answer this conversation first, he asked: "You said that you didn't do a good job of county order in Xi'anping, and as a result, Erlang dismissed your school captain?" It can't be, it's certainly not because of this incident, otherwise he could pick up my lieutenant at any time, and I wouldn't need to bring troops. Tell me what you've been doing in southeast Liaoning? ”

"What can I do?" Jiang Jin was angry in his heart, and the wine was poured into his throat like a bottle, and said: "Take taxes to raise soldiers, smuggle smuggled things at the border, and drink for fun...... I learned everything from Yan Erlang, how could he remove me from being an official! ”

Wang Yi understood, he understood.

Jiang Jin has always envied Yanbei and has been learning from Yanbei, he wants to live like Yanbei, but he is the only one who ...... One step at a time.

On the Juma River Bridge, he was Yanbei when he was a yellow scarf; Zhan Handan, he is Yanbei on the Juma River Bridge; In the southeast of Liao, he is the northern part of Yanbei that occupies Handan. He learned Yanbei's bravery and survival and benefited from this, but he also learned Yanbei's eyes above the top and rebellion.

His view of the leader of Yanbei is also different from theirs, but he is treating Yanbei in the same way that Yanbei treats Shangguan.

"Ah Jin...... You can't do that. ”

Wang Yi suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart, he was not afraid that Jiang Jin would make Yanbei's rebellion. Because he knew Yanbei very well, he knew that Yanbei would never rebel against Shangguan, who was as close to him as a brother, so he believed that Jiang Jin would not oppose Yanbei. The reason for his bitterness was that he found that he had never had such ambitions as Yan Bei or Jiang Jin.

What saddens him is that people are changing, and in a few years, the sea has changed. At that time, the brother who drilled out of the Taihang Eight Paths was unkempt and looked like a beggar, and now he has become famous and worshiped the general. Jiang Jin, who carried a knife and said to Yanbei back then, you give me this knife, as long as I don't die, Jiang Jin, who still has a chance for you to use the knife, is now becoming another Yanbei.

But what about him?

Wang Yi felt that he was still the same Wang Yi who drank too much wine in Puyin City at that time, and cried at Yanbei and asked him not to kill Wang Zheng. Even if you wear such clothes like a dignitary, your heart is still the same as before, weak, right?

"Ah Jin, you can't do this. In the past, Erlang smuggled and raised soldiers, but under the rule of the Han Dynasty, none of our brothers was afraid of the rebellion of the Han Dynasty. But now, we are under the rule of Erlang...... What do you want, ask Erlang directly, don't be deducted. ”
