Chapter 363: It's hard to refuse
Xiao Shilian, Nan Chen is also an incomparably young miscellaneous general, and more importantly, this is Xiao Maha's eldest son.
This also shocked Tang Yishun even more, Li Xinchen, the leader of Da Chen's younger generation, appeared here, even if Xiao Maha's son also came, Nan Chen really moved his blood this time, it seems that it is not a small fight, it is really to stir up the Bashu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
And letting two such young generals play as strikers in front, Xiao Maha is really big-hearted.
Of course, if Tang Yishun knew that Nan Chen actually sent out only these two miscellaneous generals, he didn't know how to feel?
"Xiajiang Tang Clan, both civil and military, loyal heirloom, blessed side, I can see it today, Brother Tang really deserves his reputation." Li Xinchen said half-truthfully.
Xiajiang Tang clan is a general name for the Tang family of the various county capitals around Ba County, and its origin is the Kaixian Tang clan, and the Wanchuan Tang clan is only one of the branches. Li Xinchen called him "Xiajiang Tang Clan", not "Wanchuan Tang Clan", the difference of one word, but he regarded Tang Yishun as the head of the entire Xiajiang Tang Clan, not the head of the Wanchuan Tang Clan, and the meaning and respect here are different.
As for the family heritage of the Tang family, because the Tang family attached equal importance to civil and military affairs, in the later family writing, the Xiajiang Tang family gradually evolved into the Tang Sect who was proficient in hidden weapons.
Of course, it is obvious that Tang Yishun, who is standing in front of Li Xinchen at this time, does not look like a master of hidden weapons in family dialect, but an out-and-out middle-aged scribe. After all, the Tang family established a family with civil and military affairs, and it is not mandatory to allow the children of the family to learn from literature or martial arts, and it is not mandatory to really practice both civil and military, and it is obvious that this Tang Yishun is still practicing literature.
Being praised by Li Xinchen without a trace, the worry and nervousness on Tang Yishun's face suddenly dissipated a little, and he said with the same smile: "General Li and General Xiao commanded the army at a young age and were invincible, and Tang admired them. ”
The three of them looked at each other tacitly, all with smiles on their faces. This wave of "commercial exchanges" undoubtedly shows their respect and understanding of each other to a certain extent, and of course further shortens the distance between the two sides.
Li Xinchen then said: "I invite Brother Tang to come, it's really because I'm busy with affairs here, and I really can't be separated, and I hope Brother Tang won't be surprised." ”
"Tang's defeated general, the captured person, the general is already thankful that he didn't kill him, if there is anything, please ask the general to command." Tang Yishun said with a slightly wry smile, "As long as Tang can help, he is willing to serve the general." ”
Xiao Shilian's face suddenly showed joy, but Li Xinchen looked at Tang Yishun unhurriedly. This guy speaks tactfully, he is willing to serve himself, but it does not mean that the Wanchuan Tang Clan behind him or even the entire Xiajiang Tang Clan is also willing to serve him.
What is the use of this one's strength?
"I wonder if Brother Tang can help provide information on the other state capitals of Bashu?" Li Xinchen is short of time now, and he doesn't have the time to fight with Tang Yishun anymore, so he just said it bluntly.
Li Xinchen said it so bluntly, which made Tang Yishun sigh in his heart. He never thought that Li Xinchen would not hide his goals and ambitions, and for a while he even doubted whether the general understood the meaning of his words.
Now, if I shirk it with the excuse of one's strength and powerlessness, will I have to walk around without food?
Li Xinchen looked at Tang Yishun with interest, at least on the one-third of an acre of land in this White Emperor City, he was the master, Tang Yishun said that he was a guest if it sounded good, and he was a prisoner if it was ugly, so Li Xinchen could easily grasp the initiative of the whole scene.
"This ······" Tang Yishun smiled bitterly, it seems meaningless to go around with Li Xinchen now, "The general may not know, Yu is only the head of the Wanchuan Tang Clan, but in fact, the Xiajiang Tang Clan is not only the Wanchuan Tang Clan, but also the rest of the branches, and the Wanchuan Tang Clan has business dealings with several surrounding state capitals at most, so if you go to the county government far away from Wanchuan, Yu Ke is really powerless." ”
Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Who is the head of the Xiajiang Tang Clan?" ”
Tang Yishun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Since the death of the last old family head who can serve the public, the position of the head of the family has been vacant for two or three years, and there has been no major event in the clan in the past few years, plus there is no one who can make the rest of the family obey, so the affairs of the clan are decided after consultation and discussion among the heads of each family." ”
"Oh?" This was something Li Xinchen didn't expect, but in the case that the Tang clan in Xiajiang disobeyed each other, and there were not many foreign enemies to worry about, it was reasonable that this situation would occur.
Li Xinchen pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "I think that Brother Tang, the title of the head of the Wanchuan Tang family, might as well be changed, and Wanchuan should be changed to Xiajiang, I don't know what Brother Tang thinks?" ”
Tang Yishun was stunned on the spot, and he didn't even believe his ears.
The head of the Xiajiang Tang clan, he has been looking forward to this position for too long, as the Taishou of Wanchuan County, he is undoubtedly the highest official among the branches of the Xiajiang Tang clan, but it is a pity that he has not yet passed the age of confusion, compared to the rest of the Tang clan masters, there is a gap in age and generation, so every time he attacks the position of the head of the family, some people will object, and in the end, for the peace of the entire Tang clan, he can only give up.
And now, as long as Li Xinchen gives him this opportunity and has a large army as the backing, even if the other Tang clans are dissatisfied, do they really dare to argue with the soldiers and horses under Li Xinchen's command?
As for the conditions put forward by Li Xinchen, they are actually nothing at all. Once Li Xinchen occupies Ba County, the Xiajiang Tang clan will have to seek his support and help in order to survive, rather than squeezing their heads with the rest of the large and small families just to see Li Xinchen, it is better to occupy a certain position in Li Xinchen's heart now, and the Xiajiang Tang clan will definitely have an advantage in all aspects at that time.
Although in Wanchuan County, the Wanchuan Tang clan is a first-class wealthy family, it does not mean that the Tang clan in the rest of the county capitals and other branches are also in this position, and there are never many families with the power of the Tang clan in the Hongxia River.
Therefore, once Li Xinchen's support can be obtained, the status of the Xiajiang Tang clan will undoubtedly reach a higher level, and in the entire Xiajiang Tang clan, the Wanchuan Tang clan will undoubtedly occupy a real dominant position.
Xiao Shilian also looked at Tang Yishun with a somewhat curious expression, his understanding of the situation in Bajun was far less than Li Xinchen, and he himself was not from a family, so he didn't understand how attractive Li Xinchen's words were to Tang Yishun.
And Li Xinchen seemed to have expected Tang Yishun's answer, so he sat down unhurriedly and took a sip of tea lightly, and turned his gaze back to the map.
