Chapter 620: Left Protector
Wang Xu returned to the study and checked the information after Yan Liang came to Jingzhou, which was prepared by Yan Ming, she had urged her brother to go to Jingzhou earlier, but was refused, so after knowing that Wang Xu came back, she wanted to let the two meet immediately, eager for a satisfactory solution.
About half an hour later, Yan Liang arrived in a hurry, and the Yan family settled in Xiangyang in the future, so he had to come over to meet the lord of Jingzhou first.
It's just that he hesitated outside the door of the study for a long time, I don't know if he can't let go of his face, or if he cares about something, the leader of the Feng group, Moon Shadow, is not an eventful person, after bringing him here, he glanced at him, then stopped talking, and quietly guarded the door.
"Gongji, since they are all here, why are they wandering outside the door?" Wang Xu looked at the scroll in his hand and said with a smile.
He had already heard abnormal footsteps and deduced that it was Yan Liang who had arrived, but the door had not moved for a long time, so he asked out loud.
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, Yan Liang pushed open the door of the study, and the spirit of courage came to his face, but the expression on his face was very complicated.
Wang Xu didn't raise his head, still looking at the copywriting on the table, and asked casually: "Gongji, can all the young and old of the Yan family arrive safely?" ”
Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Everything has arrived safely." ”
"That's good!" Wang Xu nodded, then turned his eyes and waved his hand: "Sit down, don't stand, you and I are a family, there is no need to be so restrained." ”
"Thank you!" Yan Liang bowed and sat down on the mattress next to him.
"How? After coming to Jingzhou, do you feel okay? Is there any difference compared to Hebei? Wang Xu turned his gaze to the copywriter on the table again, his expression was very relaxed and casual, as if chatting about family life.
Yan Liang originally came to visit on behalf of the Yan family. At this time, I was a little unsure of his attitude. I thought about it. bluntly replied: "Although the prosperity is not as good as Hebei, the people are united and vigorous, all walks of life are in order, and the laws and regulations are moderate, and they have the appearance of prosperity." ”
"Are you still used to it?" Wang Xu continued to look at the copywriter and asked.
"The Yan family, young and old, are well arranged, and there is not much discomfort." Yan Liang said.
"What about you!" Wang Xu finally closed his hand Chinese case and raised his head to look at him.
"It's good too!" Yan Liang thought for a moment. Said.
"As a general, do you feel good at home?" Wang Xu asked suspiciously.
Yan Liang was silent, not knowing what to say.
In fact, his heart is very uncomfortable, he is very loyal to Yuan Shao, if it wasn't for Yan Ming who did that, he wouldn't have turned his back on it.
In fact, if you change the time, such as a long time after Yan Ming got married, then it doesn't matter. But now the old man of the Yan family is still there, and he has not completely separated. Yan Ming had just gotten married, and this kind of thing happened at this time, not only Yuan Xi himself, but also Yuan Shao would never tolerate it, because it was tantamount to a slap in the face.
He gave up the marriage contract and married Yan Ming to Wang Xu, and celebrities all over the world would say that he was a master, because he put military affairs first.
But after this incident, another daughter-in-law was stolen by Yan Ming, this is a straight slap in the face, and he will be laughed at by the world, with Yuan Shao's character, he can't bear it, and he will also suspect the Yan family's intentions at the moment. Therefore, he has to go, and if he doesn't go, he has to go, otherwise the whole clan will suffer.
Wang Xu understood his feelings very well, and seeing that he was silent, he smiled, pretending not to know and turned to ask, "By the way, Gongji!" Originally, you were in the Hebei Army, what was your official position? What kind of affairs are you in charge of? ”
Yan Liang sighed and said, "The official is a partial general, and he listens to the tune in front of the tent, and he is often the vanguard. ”
"Did you bring your own cronies with you this time?" Wang Xu asked.
"I only took a few hundred cronies and brothers with me, these people have followed me for many years, abandoned a qiē, and made enemies all over the place, if they don't take them away, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Hebei. As for the others, they have not been told, first, they will leak the news, and second, they will not be able to take them away. Yan Liang said bitterly.
"Then do you have a way to arrange your close relatives, wives and children, and family members of your close brothers?" Wang Xu asked again.
Yan Liang nodded: "I have already made arrangements for this matter, they will be divided into dozens of groups to go south as ordinary migrating people, as long as they take the main road and pay attention to avoid areas with bandits, there will be no problem, now most of them have arrived, only dozens of families who have taken a long detour are still on the way." ”
"Hmm!" Wang Xu asked indifferently, "In that case, how do you plan to settle these brothers?" As a migratory people, they can get an appropriate amount of land or other opportunities to survive in Jingyi Erzhou, but aren't these elite warriors wasted their skills? Lost the opportunity to make a difference? ”
Yan Liang was silent, he understood what Wang Xu meant, but he had a hurdle in his heart, and he couldn't get over it, because he felt that he was sorry for Yuan Shao and had a negative predecessor, so he was very resistant to serving Jingyi Erzhou in his heart.
Therefore, after Wang Xu learned the details from the information carefully compiled by Yan Ming, he decided to start from the side from the beginning and hit the weakness in Yan Liang's heart first.
Now that the effect has begun to appear, Yan Liang does not speak, which means that he is hesitating, he is hesitating.
"Gongji, do you know that Zhang He is also in Jingzhou?" Wang Xu spoke again.
Yan Liang nodded: "I know, but I have been busy with family settlement in recent days, and I haven't had time to see each other yet." ”
"Then do you know why he agreed to work for me?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.
"I don't know!" Yan Liang's words became a little less, and it was obvious that the feelings were not particularly stable.
"Because he didn't dare to go back to Hebei!" Wang Xu decisively interfaced.
"Why not?" Yan Liang was stunned.
He said before that he didn't go to see Zhang He because he was busy settling down with his family, which was an excuse. The real reason is that he thought that Zhang Hunai took the initiative to break away from Yuan Shao and despised his conduct in his heart, so he didn't want to see him again, but in front of Wang Xu, it was hard to say.
Wang Xu looked at him for a long time, and said unhurriedly: "Zhang He escorted me south, but I never expected that Yuan Xi's kid was resentful because he couldn't get Yan Ming, and sent people to surround and kill me at sea, and he also intended to kill Zhang He and the accompanying Hebei warriors. We killed his minions and returned safely, but Zhang He was in a dilemma, how do you think he should go back? ”
"This second son of Yuan, I really don't know the general situation!" Yan Liang reprimanded angrily, but then said, "But even so. Zhang He should also reply to Yuan Gong. It was up to Yuan Gong to decide the matter. ”
"Yuan Benchu's character. Will he really punish his son Yuan Xi severely? Wang Xu asked sharply.
"This ......" Yan Liang thought about it, and finally shook his head: "Probably not!" ”
"That Zhang is in Hebei, how to deal with yourself?" Wang Xu struck while the iron was hot, and said in one breath: "When he goes back, doesn't he sue everyone that Yuan Benchu does not distinguish between public and private, and does not know the rewards and punishments?" Conniving at Aiko Hulai? Besides, Yuan Xi will also be the second son of the Yuan family. Can he do such a thing, and be a person who lets go of resentment? If Zhang He returns to Hebei, isn't it that the left and right are not people, and even after the rumors pass, there is still the danger of being wiped out? ”
As he spoke, Wang Xu had already picked up a letter from the table, handed it to Yan Liang with a smile: "Brother Ben Chu doesn't want Zhang He to go back, because he really won't kill his son, so he is afraid of facing Zhang He, and he is also afraid that Zhang He will go back." Tell the whole story and shake the hearts of the military generals of Hebei Wenchen. I pleaded with him on behalf of Zhang He. He promised and was willing to send all Zhang He's family members, this is his reply, if you are interested, you can take a look. ”
"General Zhang is too wronged!" Yan Liang was a straight person, so he sighed on the spot.
"Yes, it's too wrong!" Wang Xu continued: "The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve, and loyal ministers are forced to reluctantly switch to the Ming Lord, what's wrong with this?" Gongji, you don't have to feel too guilty, the situation may not be bad now, this time it's Zhang Heyi, can you be sure that it won't be you in the future? The matter has come to this point, why is your ability wasted, you might as well build a world-class meritorious service under my command. ”
Yan Liang is wandering in front of the hurdle in his heart, and now he is chasing him with a knife from behind, how can there be any reason not to pass.
After his expression changed for a long time, the balance in his heart gradually tilted, he suddenly got up, and replied loudly: "Okay, I will take my brothers and fight for the lord and the two states of Jingyi from now on!" ”
"Hahaha...... Jingyi Erzhou has added another member of the world's fierce generals, and I am very relieved. ”
Wang Xu was in a good mood, returned to the table and waved a book, and said quickly: "You are a battle-hardened and famous general, and you are also in a high position in Hebei, so you can't be treated badly when you come to Jingzhou. ”
"The last general will not be dishonored!" Yan Liang saluted heavily.
Wang Xu smiled and handed over the written silk silk and instructed: "Take this handwritten letter, and immediately go to see my brother, the chief bookkeeper Wang Kai, who will take you to Bingcao and other places for the record, and take over the affairs of the army." ”
"The last general commands!" Yan Liang acted vigorously and resolutely, and when he turned around, he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Xu hurriedly stopped him.
"What else does the lord command?" Yan Liang turned around and asked.
Wang Xu took a step forward, looked at him for a long time, and said earnestly: "Gongji, you and I will be both the main ministers in the future, but also brothers and family, different from when I was in Hebei, in the future, you will often represent my relatives, I hope you can be more cautious, don't get involved in other people's affairs, set an example, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Yan Liang showed a smile on his face, he was also a straight person, seeing that Wang Xu was speaking straightforwardly, he immediately said bluntly: "Don't worry, my lord, although I am a martial artist, I am not ignorant, and I am very careful in my heart." ”
Wang Xu smiled and nodded: "That's good, by the way, you can also form a special guard team of your own, but the number of people cannot exceed two thousand, you can ask Bingcao about specific matters, and you can also ask them if you have any needs." ”
"No!" Yan Liang arched his hand and left with joy on his face.
Wang Xu sent it to the door of the study, watched it go away, then sank his face, and said to the moon shadow standing at the door like a ghost: "Go and inform Wei Cao Peng Xizhen, from tomorrow, I will visit the families of the generals who died in the Battle of Nanyang one by one, and I will also go to the place of death in Nanyang to pay tribute to the monument, and the names of all the fallen soldiers must be engraved, so that he can arrange it well, remember, it must be thick enough, so that the soldiers of the whole army can not be cold." ”
"No!"
"Also, the battle of pacifying the Southern Barbarians will also be commemorated by a monument, and the day of the return of the expeditionary army is not far away, let him make arrangements as soon as possible!"
"No!" Moon Shadow didn't say much, and after saluting, he quietly left. (To be continued......)
