Chapter 64: Apprenticeship
After coming out of the Liewu Hall, Gao Yuan accompanied Li Yinghong again, returned to Li Mu's mansion, and told Li Mu about Wulie, and after Li Mu listened, he had no objections. Because Gao Yuan now belongs to Li Mu's camp, he has established a relationship with Wu Lie, which is equivalent to Li Mu and Wu Lie establishing a relationship.
Wu Lie's official and private sides in Handan, black and white, have a deep relationship and great influence, if he can establish a relatively close relationship with Wu Lie, of course, it is a good thing. Moreover, there is also a basis for cooperation between Li Mu and Wu Lie. After all, Wu Lie was also a member of the military in the past, and he also had some friendship with Li Mu, but it was not too deep. It is also appropriate to use the plateau as a connecting point between the two sides.
As for Li Yinghong's proposal to let Wu Hongya be his companion, Li Mu couldn't ask for it, so that Li Yinghong could also have a female companion, which could reduce a lot of trouble and save him a lot of worry.
Seeing that Li Mu had no objections, Gao Yuan was completely relieved, and the next thing was of course to continue to practice with Zhao Xuan, of course, Gao Yuan was beaten by Zhao Xuan again. After he returned to his house, he asked Geng Yanyu to apply hot water to himself for a long time.
On the second day, Zhong Sun Qi led all the disciples and their luggage to the mansion on the plateau, and Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan also came together. Gao Yuan also asked Geng Zhong to prepare the room a long time ago, because they were the first batch of guests to be accepted by Gao Yuan, and of course they had to be generously entertained. It is also an example for others, and now the plateau also needs to recruit talents and accept customers to expand its own strength.
And there was basically nothing to do all morning, so Gao Yuan also stayed in the mansion and practiced the formation with Du Yi. Zhongsun Qi and the other disciples were also dispersed by the plateau into the formation of the exercise. Because their personal martial arts skills are very high, and their foundation is not bad, but they are inexperienced. However, the current practice of the formation is a completely new thing for everyone, so there is no question of zĂ i experience, and the integration of them into the formation can also increase the power of the formation. Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan practiced on their own. For a time, the mansion on the plateau was in full swing.
In the afternoon, Gao Yuan handed over the training to Du Yi, and he took Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan to Li Mu's mansion.
However, Li Mu had not returned to the court today, so Gao Yuan waited in the mansion again, but waited until it was almost dusk, and Li Mu and Zhao Xuan came back together. It turned out that at today's court meeting, Zhao Wangqian and the ministers discussed for a long time, and finally determined a few things. First of all, of course, Luo Huan's robbery, although it can now be ruled out that the main culprit is not Zhao Yang, but he did not report it, and he also colluded with the kidnappers to prevent Li Yinghong from rescuing Luo Huan, which is also a big crime. And Zhao Cong was also guilty of lax discipline, so he was officially exempted from the resignation of Da Sima, but the title and official rank could still be retained. And Li Mu also officially served as the Great Sima, and at the same time was fully responsible for the military preparations for the defense of the Qin State, and everything could be done by Li Mu's own will.
The second is that the merchants of the plateau Jianyi came forward to buy grain from the Qi State to enrich the treasury of the Zhao State. This matter is up to Xiangguo Guo Kai to pay for it. Invite several of the largest merchants of Zhao to come forward to form a consortium, collectively contribute, and negotiate with the merchants of Qi State.
Although Gao Yuan felt a little uneasy about letting Guo Kai pay the responsibility, Guo Kai was the prime minister of Zhao State, and buying grain was the top priority of Zhao State now, so it was completely reasonable for Guo Kai to pay the responsibility. However, Guo Kai only took the lead in paying the responsibility, and the affairs of the body, negotiating with the merchants of Qi State, and opening up the customs were still done by the merchants of Zhao State. After all, it is impossible for Guo Kai to go to Qi Country in person, and even if he goes, it will not be of much use.
The last thing is about the envoys of Qin, Zhao Wangqian also decided to accept the envoys of Qin, negotiate peace affairs with Qin, and have sent the doctor Shi Chong as an envoy to welcome Yao Jia to Handan. After all, now that Zhao is weak, and Qin is strong, if the two sides can reach a peace, it will also be a good result for Zhao. At least Zhao Guo was able to buy a few years of respite. As for the terms of peace, then talk about it slowly, even if it can't be negotiated in the end, there will be no loss to Zhao Guo.
However, although Zhao Wangqian decided to accept the envoy of Qin and negotiate peace with Qin, he still agreed with Li Mu's proposal, negotiation is negotiation, and preparation for war is preparation for war, so preparations for war must not be relaxed either. Even Guo Kai has no objection to this.
Li Mu said: "Gao Yuan, starting tomorrow, you will go to the military camp outside the city every day to train the army, continue to expand your cavalry troops, and I will also go to the military camp to supervise after the end of the day after the court." â
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the barracks in the next day." "I also thought in my heart, this is better, because the place in the house is still too small after all, some of them can't be used, and it is feasible to train infantry formations, but cavalry and archers can't be trained. It's better to train in the barracks. However, Gao Yuan said: "General, in addition to training cavalry, I also want to train infantry. â
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and also felt a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you can still train infantry?" â
Li Yinghong said on the side: "Yes, father, I saw it in his house today, he seems to be training a special formation, but I only cared about practicing with Hongyan, and I didn't look carefully." â
Li Mu said with a smile: "In this way, I also want to see what kind of formation it is." â
Gao Yuan said: "Actually, I just want to give it a try, whether it is useful or not, it's hard to say, anyway, I don't need many people now, one or two hundred people is enough, just those soldiers in my house can be enough, wait for a month, the first Xiaocheng, and then let the general see it." â
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, you just do what you think, I'll wait for a month and then look at it." â
Because Li Mu came back late today, and he rushed to Lin Wenqing's house to make an appointment at night, it was impossible to practice with Zhao Xuan, and Gao Yuan was spared being beaten all over his body. After sitting for a while, Gao Yuan set off with Li Mu and others and rushed to Lin Wenqing's house.
Lin Wenqing is a wealthy family in Zhao State, the family house is huge, much larger than the mansion on the plateau, if it is in the Zhou Dynasty era, it will be charged with the crime of Yue Li, the family property is confiscated, not to mention, the whole family will be punished, abolished into slaves. However, in this era of decayed etiquette, no one will respect these etiquette at all.
When they arrived at Lin Wenqing's door, Zhou Shan was already waiting for them at the door, and immediately asked someone to report to Lin Wenqing. After Lin Wenqing received the report, he immediately rushed to the door in person and welcomed them into the hall, and at this time, Wu Lie, Zhong Sunqi and others also arrived first.
Everyone saw each other and made a lot of noise with each other, and Lin Wenqing ordered Shanglai to open the banquet.
After the wine Lai Lu was placed up, Lin Wenqing also called Luo Huan out, the mother and the two came to the middle, Lin Wenqing took the wine jue, and said: "This time the child can survive by luck, it all depends on your best to help, such a great favor, Wenqing is difficult to repay for life, so if you have the use of Wenqing, Wenqing is bankrupt, powdered bones, and do not hesitate, now only with this glass of thin wine, a little heart." As he spoke, he raised the wine and drank it all.
Everyone also drank a cup together, and Li Mu said: "Wenqing, if something like this happens, of course we can't stand idly by, and over the years, you have taken in hundreds of veterans and their widows and orphans, and have made a lot of contributions to Zhao Guowei, and we should help you, so you don't have to take it to heart." â
Wu Lie also nodded and said, "Yes, Doctor Lin made great contributions to my Zhao State back then, and of course we should take care of his descendants, so if there are any difficult things in the future, just ask, don't have any worries." â
Lin Wenqing saluted everyone again and said, "Thank you." Then he took Luo Huan and toasted one by one table from table to table.
When he came to the seat of the plateau, Lin Wenqing asked Luo Huan to raise a glass of wine, saluted the plateau, and said: "This child's life is saved by adults, and the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid. â
Gao Yuan was also stunned, he didn't expect Lin Wenqing to make this request and let Luo Huan worship him as a teacher.
When Li Yinghong heard this, he immediately came over, hugged Luo Huan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Huan'er, do you want to worship him as a teacher?" â
Luo Huan nodded and said, "Yes." â
Li Yinghong said: "Why is that? What do you want to learn? â
Luo Huan said: "Because Lord Gao is powerful, that bad guy has such a big man, but he was defeated by Lord Gao, I want to learn to be as powerful as Lord Gao, so that I don't have to be afraid of bad people anymore, and my mother doesn't have to worry about me anymore." â
Lin Wenqing listened, his eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but lower his head and gently stroked Luo Huan's head.
And Gao Yuan listened, and his heart was also a little hidden, although Lin Wenqing was not short of money, but it was indeed not easy for orphans and widows, and Luo Huan was obviously more mature than children of the same age. Therefore, he also took the wine glass in Luo Huan's hand and said, "Okay, Mrs. Wenqing, I promise you." But now Huan'er is still young, and when he grows up a little more in a year or two, I will teach him again. With that, he drank the wine down.
Lin Wenqing also nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." In fact, she asked Luo Huan to worship the plateau as a teacher, firstly, to repay her kindness, and secondly, to fancy the future potential of the plateau, and Luo Huan can also have a dependence in the future. However, she didn't want her son to go to the plateau to study now, Bi Jing Luo Huan was only six years old, and she had to wait until Luo Huan was more than ten years old.
