Chapter 230 The real prime minister
Lei Xu, Chen Lan was originally a general of Yuan Shu, and later Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and he was centrifuged up and down. Yuan Shu was defeated and defected to Lei Xu and Chen Lan, and the two refused to take in Yuan Shu and became thieves.
The two of them stationed troops between the Jianghuai River, not only farming and garrisoning, but also sending troops to plunder. It made the JAC dilapidated. Cao Cao concentrated on dealing with the affairs of the north, and had no time to take care of these two, so he sent Liu Fu to assassinate the history of Yangzhou, and Liu Fu appeased the two.
And Yangzhou, a place where the Sun family's forces and Cao Cao's forces have repeatedly competed, neither side can control these two people, and these two people are living a leisurely life.
The place where the two of them stationed troops is Tianzhu Mountain in the north of the Lujiang River, the mountain stretches for more than 20 miles, and the mountain is high and the road is far away. What's more, Jiangxia still has many mountain roads from Tianzhu Mountain.
Jiang Wan was ordered to send an envoy in front, and he couldn't even sit in the chariot, so he could only sit on a horse and take his entourage over the mountains and mountains.
In the rear, Zhang Fei led 2,000 elite soldiers to walk on the mountain road with difficulty, and Zhang Laosan dismounted and walked from time to time, using the spear as a crutch to walk.
scolded his mother as he walked, "It's really a poor mountain and bad water." ”
In fact, the march on the mountain road here is extremely dangerous, and the army is lined up as long snakes, and the front and rear cannot be rescued. You need to go with the elite, otherwise it is very easy to be defeated.
Zhuge Liang knew that Zhang Fei was brave and powerful, and his troops were elite, so he let Zhang Fei be the rear army to be Jiang Wan's backing and play a role in intimidation.
Jiang Wan sat on the horse, his crown was a little crooked, sweaty, soaked his clothes, and a little embarrassed. "Sir, the area ahead is Tianzhu Mountain." One of the guides in his entourage pointed ahead.
Jiang Wan raised his eyes and saw several mountains in front of him covered with mountain fields, and there seemed to be a figure on the mountain, so he couldn't help nodding.
Immediately, Jiang Wan, with the support of his entourage, turned over and dismounted, walked the small mountain road, and went up. Soon after, he met a group of soldiers, the soldiers wound their bows, their knives came out of their bodies, and they asked sharply: "Who are you, dare to break into Tianzhu Mountain." ”
In the past, Ma Liang also took Zhang Bao into the mountains and exterminated the bandits. But those bandits are a rabble, and the soldiers in front of them are fierce and fierce, and they are soldiers of a hundred battles.
With just a little reorganization, you can be a crack soldier.
Jiang Wan was not surprised when he saw it, and then smiled and said: "I am Jiang Wan, the chief historian under Zhuge Jiangxia (Zhuge Liang), and I was ordered to see Chen Lan and Lei Xu, two generals. ”
Most of these soldiers were illiterate, but they also knew that the other party was talking about Jiangxia Taishou, who had the surname Zhuge again, and Jiangxia and Lujiang were next to each other, so they didn't dare to slack off. Then the soldier at the head put his sword into his sheath and said, "Come with me." ”
Then Jiang Wan turned over and got on the horse again, walked seven or eight miles of mountain roads, and came to Tianzhu Mountain. This area should be Chen Lan, the center of Lei Xu's rule, the cottage is solid, there are many people, and there are "Chen" and "Lei" flags on the cottage.
The soldiers led Jiang Wan into the military village, and the men and women in the village were curious. Jiang Wan raised his head slightly, looking at the men and women in the village, most of them were yellow and thin, so he thought about it.
Soon after, the soldiers took Jiang Wan to Dazhai, and as for the entourage, they stayed outside the village. After entering Dazhai, Jiang Wan saw two men sitting in the north.
Both of them are strong and have broad faces, one is white-skinned and the other is dark-skinned.
"Jiang Wan, the chief of Jiangxia, has seen two generals, but I don't know which of the two generals is General Lei and which one is General Chen." Jiang Wan behaved appropriately and saluted calmly.
"I'm Chen Lan." The dark-skinned strong man spoke.
"I'm Lei Xu." The white-skinned strong man spoke.
Then Lei Xu and Chen Lan both said: "Jiang Changshi is polite." Then he also asked Jiang Wan to sit down.
"Our brothers have been in the mountains for a long time, and we only know that Jingzhou has Liu Zhennan, and Jiangxia has Huang Jiangxia. But I don't know what the origin of this Zhuge Jiangxia is? Lei Xu looked inquiring.
But the two brothers suddenly heard that Jiang Wan, the chief of Zhuge Jiangxia, came to ask for a meeting, and they knew that something might have changed in Jiangxia.
But Lei Xu and Chen Lanjiu have been in the mountains for a long time, and they are not very well connected with the news outside the mountain, so they don't know whether this change is good or bad for them. And whether it's good or bad, I'm afraid it will affect the two brothers, because the other party has come to the door.
Jiangxia Huangzu didn't send anyone to look for them once.
When Jiang Wan heard this, he said with a smile: "Liu Zhennan has passed away, and the second son Liu Cong attacked Jingzhou Thorn History. The eldest son Liu Qi was not convinced, and defected to the Hanshou Marquis Guan Gong of Xinye, Guan Gong Liu Qi was the assassin of Jingzhou, as for Zhuge Jiangxia, the single name is Liang, and he is currently in command of Anlu County. ”
Lei Xu, Chen Lan showed a look of surprise, she didn't expect Liu Biao to die, and Jingzhou staged such a good show as seizing the heir.
Now that you understand the beginning and the end, it's a question of the other party's intentions.
The two glanced at each other, and Lei Xu said loudly: "I don't know what this Zhuge Jiangxia means by sending Jiang Changshi here." ”
"But the land under the leadership of Zhuge Jiangxia is only three counties, with a sparse population and insufficient soldiers and horses. Seeing that the two generals were stationed in Tianzhu Mountain, he wanted to ask the two generals to lead their troops down the mountain, the old and weak were for the people, the strong were pawns, and the two generals were still generals. Jiang Wan said bluntly.
Lei Xu and Chen Lan glanced at each other and laughed. This Jiangxia is too guarded by Zhuge Liang, and he really looks down on us, but after leading the three counties and counties, the population is probably less than 10,000, and he actually wants to annex us.
It's almost the same as Huang Zu.
While Lei Xu smiled, he also shook his head and said to Jiang Wan: "Zhuge Jiangxia's kindness is appreciated by our brothers, but our brothers are at ease on the mountain, but they are not happy to go down the mountain as generals and are controlled by others. ”
"My brother has a point." Chen Lan also said with a smile on the side.
These two people first became Yuan Shu's generals, and later led their troops to loot, and they can be regarded as bandits, but they are also laughing, not tyrannical people.
Jiang Wan said unhurriedly: "People have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries. Vice versa. Since Dong Zhuo, the world has risen together, and now how many are left? The Central Plains Hebei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have been destroyed by Cao Cao, Sun Ce exterminated the counties, and the Sun family dominated Jiangdong. And now that Cao Cao is in charge of the north and has strong strength, will he sit back and watch the southern princes? The army will inevitably go south, if it goes south, how can the two generals resist? ”
"This." Lei Xu, of course Chen Lan was not convinced, but she was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan smiled even more: "Don't talk about Cao Cao." Jiangdong Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance, exterminated Shanyue internally, and crusaded against Huang Zu externally. If Bingfeng comes south, how can the two generals resist? The so-called major events in the world are only strong and weak. If the two generals have the heart of a strong man, the ambition of the whole country, and compete with the heroes for the world, I didn't say it. If the two generals didn't, wouldn't they be worried? ”
Lei Xu and Chen Lan glanced at each other again, and had to express their strength to Jiang Wan's tongue.
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense.
Cao Cao swept the north, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were wiped out, will they be afraid of our little ones? There is no need for Cao Cao to use large troops, send a general to come, and the two brothers will be bad.
Sun Quan is the same.
As for the world, the two brothers didn't think about it, they just wanted to stay in the mountains, and one more day was a day, after all, it was too chaotic outside the mountains, and they might be killed if they weren't careful.
But obviously I can't stay still now, Sun Quan, Cao Cao's people haven't come yet, General Zuo, Hanshou Hou Guan Yu's people are here.
Guan Yu and the others still know, after all, Guan Yu has inherited Xinye for many years.
Lei Xu, Chen Lan agreed with what Jiang Wan said in her heart, knowing the general trend of the world, if you are not a king, you will be a minister, it is time to choose one person.
Not to mention meritorious achievements, but the situation.
But it is their right to choose who they are. There is no such thing as a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, Lei Xu took a moment to say: "Mr.'s words are very reasonable. But what kind of person is General Zuo, Han Shouhou? As far as I know, the Marquis of Hanshou has 200,000 people in Xinye, his son Guan Ping has 200,000 or 300,000 people in Fangling, and Xindejiangxia, I'm afraid there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people. At most, there were six or seven hundred thousand people, and five or six hundred thousand with armor. Not to mention Cao Cao's strength, even Jiangdong Sun Quan also has a million people, with 100,000 armor. Why didn't our brothers defect to the two of them, but to the Marquis of Hanshou? ”
"The two generals are closed to news, my little prince has led his troops into Hanzhong, for Hanzhong Taishou, General Yang Wu. The Hou family of Hanshou also has millions of people. Jiang Wan smiled when he heard this.
"How can there be such a thing???? That Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for more than ten years, and he was actually broken by Guan Ping? "Lei Xu, Chen Lan is also discolored.
Know the name of the man and the shadow of the tree. Although Zhang Lu has a low reputation among the princes, such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others, after all, he is a great prince who has been dominant for more than ten years, and his downfall is really shocking for ordinary people such as Chen Lan and Lei Xu.
Guan Yu's son Guan Ping.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a tiger father without a dog.
Lei Xu, Chen Lan was impressed in her heart.
"Besides, even if you want to vote. It also depends on the situation. The Marquis of Hanshou is the enemy of ten thousand people. Jiang Wan gave a thumbs up and praised. Then he got up and walked a few steps, and said with a smile: "Guan Yang Wuming Mansion is good at commanding his subordinates, and he can make his subordinates do their best." Father and son are both heroes. The Guan family is grass-created, and there is a shortage of people. When he heard that the two generals were coming to defect, he would definitely repay the two generals generously. And the Cao family, the Sun family is already as strong as an ox, the ministers and generals under their command are staggered, and the two generals defected, just like adding a brick and a tile, what benefit? How can it be valued? Furthermore, although the Guan family was created, I, Guan Yangwu, have already entered Hanzhong, and Bashu Liu Zhang is weak, so why is it difficult to take it? Jingzhou Liu and Sun Quan have enmity, Guan is in the north, Sun is in the east, and the north and south are attacking, why is it difficult to divide them? Take the north of Jingzhou, connect Yizhou, and the Guan family is really a hero in the world. ”
This eloquence is good, and the pie is well drawn.
Even better, there is a great possibility that this loaf of bread will be made. And Lei Xu and Chen Lan are both excited, but the life of the two is not easy.
Jiang Wan entered the village and saw that the people in the village were skinny, which was the difficulty. With the expansion of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the cities between the Jianghuai River have become stronger and stronger, and the number of troops has increased.
The two of them were farming mountains and fields while looting to survive. And you can't plunder, only farm the mountains, and of course life is getting more and more difficult.
The Anlu area is indeed sparsely populated, and if they go down the mountain with 50,000 or 60,000 horses, they can be properly settled, and they are worthy of their subordinates who have followed them for many years.
And the two have been bandits for so many years, plundering a lot of food, more gold and silver. The grain was exhausted, but the stocks of gold and silver were abundant.
Don't worry about wealth when you go down the mountain.
The Guan family is on the rise, and if they are lucky enough to establish meritorious deeds, they will not be able to worship the marquis at that time.
If you think about it carefully, the benefits of going down the mountain are simply great.
But this matter must be a big matter, and the two of them didn't dare to agree immediately, so Lei Xu said to Jiang Wan: "This matter is very big, please wait a moment, sir, and let our brothers discuss it." ”
"The two of you are at your own convenience." Jiang Wan said calmly. Immediately Lei Xu, Chen Lan and the two went to discuss in addition to the big tent, and soon after the two walked in, they bowed to Jiang Wan and said: "The two of us are willing to follow the Han Shouhou and serve the Han Shouhou." ”
"The two generals are invited to get up quickly, and then we will be colleagues, fight together in Jiangxia, work together, and serve the Marquis of Hanshou." Jiang Wan took a step forward and helped Lei Xu and Chen Lan up. With a smile on his face, he was about to say something. At this time, one of the soldiers hurriedly rushed into the tent and said, "General, a large army has come from the east. ”
Chen Lan, Lei Xu was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan smiled calmly: "It's me Zhang Fei and General Zhang." ”
Chen Lan and Lei Xu realized that this Jiang Wan not only brought etiquette, but also brought swords, if they couldn't negotiate, they were afraid that they would have to fight with that Zhang Fei.
And Zhang Fei is powerful in the world, and he is the enemy of ten thousand people. Even if the two of them are guarding the cottage, they don't want to confront Zhang Fei.
All in all, Lei Xu and Chen Lan have agreed to go down the mountain, and it doesn't matter if Zhang Fei came to commit this news. Jiang Wan sent someone to tell Zhang Fei the news, and Zhang Laosan couldn't help but scold his mother again.
threw the spear, crossed his hands on his waist, and said angrily: "These two straw bales, just surrendered like this, it's really unlucky, run for nothing." ”
Not to mention the unhappiness of Zhang Laosan, a war maniac, Jiang Wan helped Lei Xu and Chen Lan presided over the work, and moved the 50,000 or 60,000 people on Tianzhu Mountain from the mountain road to Anlu along with the soldiers.
When Zhuge Liang heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed. So he took the officials and subordinates of Anlu County out of the city to greet Chen Lan and Lei Xu, and after some discussion, promised to supply the mansion, acres of land, and goods.
After that, Zhuge Liang took Jiang Wan's hand and said, "Gongyan, you are really talented." ”
Later, Zhuge Liang worked with Jiang Wan and Zhang Fei to build Anlu New Town, appeased the people, granted barren land, and was busy with his feet not touching the ground.
Zhuge Liang also asked Guan Yu to appoint Lei Xu and Chen Lan as captains, each leading two or three thousand soldiers.
Soon after, Guan Yu's appointment from Xinye ordered Zhuge Liang to be the commander of the military division, Ding Feng, Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and the military commander of Jiangxia.
And because of Zhuge Liang's identity as the county guard of Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang became the only subordinate of the Guan family to gather military and political power.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang persuaded the people to farm in Jiangxia, practice benevolent government, use strict laws, and recruited those who were dissatisfied with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, sympathized with Liu Qi, or had friendships with Zhuge Liang himself.
As a result, the population of Anlu has increased significantly.
It also made the Jiangxia part occupied by Zhuge Liang and the Jiangxia part occupied by Huang Zu begin to be evenly matched and rivaled. Wolong Kongming, so famous.
is the so-called Wolong, the phoenix chick has one person to settle the world, it is not a lie.
