Chapter 178: Heroic Twilight
When he returned to the county government, he asked Jiang Ping to settle Lu Qianhu and his party.
I went to find Chen Yi by myself.
This Chen Yi is none other than the Chen Juren in Binjiang County.
He is in his forties, upright and prime, and when he sees that the world is wrong, he also has a little ambition.
I wanted to vote for Chuzhou before, but I was catching up with the main force of Chuzhou, and I heard that my nephew Chen Dazhi was in the third army, so I threw myself to the third side.
This is a statement on the surface, but the actual reason is that because he has old grudges with the Huo family, and seeing that Huo Wu's forces are becoming more and more stable, he has scruples in the end, so he jumped out of Chuzhou and found a backer for his family.
The leaders under the command of the third apprentice are all from Xiangyong, and only Jiang Ping, who can barely be counted as half a scholar, is eager to seek talent.
Although Chen Yi has not been here for a long time, he is now under the command of the third apprentice, and he is only this Jiang Ping, and he is regarded as the mastermind of the third apprentice.
"I'll take someone back to Chuzhou tomorrow!"
Life and death are major events, and running for funeral is to run, and this disciple does not hesitate.
Huo Wu's army was still on the way, and the owner of the horse village sent someone to report the funeral.
Chen Yi touched his beard and said, "Even if there is no funeral for General Ma, the third master should also go...... The third master and the fifth master Huo are two benefits if they are together, and two evils when they are divided...... Huo Gongzi is the nephew of the third master, and he is close to the flesh and blood, and there is no reason to be estranged! ”
He had been here for less than a month, and he already knew the hardships of Apostle.
Marshal Liu, who is above, not only can't be the backer of the apprentice, but is too heavily guarded, and is also suspected of pulling back.
It's just that there is no intimacy between them, no matter how bad Marshal Liu is, he is also the old Taishan of the third apprentice, and there is no room for his subordinates to speak.
Tu San was silent for a moment: "I don't want to take Jiang Ping back to Chuzhou, but I don't know how to ...... him"
Chen Yi's hand paused, and his heart was alert.
This Jiang Ping is a lesson from the past, and he must not make the same mistake.
From his nephew, he knew the reason for the change in Chuzhou.
At the beginning, others didn't know the inside story, but the villagers knew it.
They also have a scale in their hearts.
Not to mention whether Huo Wu is kind or unkind to the three apprentices, but the Wei brothers were rampant as soon as they got their will, bullying and squeezing water in, which caused many people to be disgusted.
Shui Jin is also a fellow brother, and he is a good person inside and out.
Even if the water stays in Quyang before it enters, it also has the meaning of making quality for the three disciples.
Such a brother, outsiders are not bullied, but their own people are bullied?
Besides, the culprit Jiang Ping treats everyone with a lotus tongue on weekdays, but the benefits are all in one mouth.
Leaving from Chuzhou, looking at Jiang Ping like a beautiful flower, with a few cars of belongings, everyone felt inexplicable.
Again, the saying goes, don't suffer from the lack of wealth, but suffer from inequality.
They are all from the same background, why are others still living in a tight life, and there is the landlord's old wealth and enjoying the blessings?
Jealous, dissatisfied, and angry, the townsmen blamed the reasons for "losing" Chuzhou on Jiang Ping and the Wei brothers, and never concealed the reason for leaving Chuzhou.
Therefore, Chen Dazhi, who is a thousand households, also knows the details.
When Chen Yi came over, Chen Dazhi quietly told his uncle that the province had committed a taboo.
Chen Yi knew that the people of Chuzhou did not like Jiang Ping, and he also knew that no matter whether he was happy or not, he had to keep Jiang Ping, the "friend" who pulled him into the Bozhou army, and the sage of the province who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
"The little sect leader of Bozhou has been proclaimed emperor, and the third master should also send an envoy to congratulate...... If you can get a name, it's best to ......."
In any case, this Maitreya sign still has to be played.
Even if the little sect leader is just a puppet, the so-called emperor is like a farce, but in this Huanghuai land, the people do recognize Maitreya.
It is always a good thing for the division to be famous, so as not to be hindered by Marshal Liu in the future.
"This ...... Is it okay to cross the Lingshui side? ”
Disciple San was moved by what he heard, and he had scruples.
Chen Yi said: "The third master is the son-in-law of Marshal Liu, and he is not an outsider...... Now that Marshal Liu is in good health, it is understandable that he neglected this matter, and the third master is ...... to make up for it."
When Tu San entered Chuzhou, Marshal Liu did not give the main force, and detained his daughter, under the pretext that he was in good health and left his daughter to serve the sick, but he was just guarding against Tu San.
Disciple San is not a fool, he understands the reason, and is quite speechless.
Liu and he were married for three months, docile and virtuous, and harmonious.
But Marshal Liu used the Liu clan as a hostage, isn't it ridiculous?
Before Liu became an apprentice housewife, she was a Liu family girl for 20 years.
If the third is ruthless, what is the use of three months of husband and wife love?
……
The next day, the three disciples sent Jiang Ping as an envoy to Bozhou to meet the little sect leader: "I have enough money...... It would be even better if I could ask for a title......"
Jiang Ping's eyes were shining, and he was very excited.
Huo Wu is about to fight Yangzhou, but this is a ruthless strategy of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle"?
At this time, it will not be the general of Chuzhou or anything like that, it must be the sword pointing at the entire Huainan Province.
The Governor of Huainan? Or the King of Guangling? The king of Huaiyang?
It's just that there is a lesson from Chuzhou's past, but he didn't dare to provoke the relationship between Tu San and the Liu family, so he only said: "The marshal's side? ”
Disciple Sandao: "I can't go past my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's title should be above me." ”
The so-called "title" is just to fool the lower head, and you can't really tear your face with Marshal Liu for the sake of this false name.
The Bozhou army is already weak, but it can no longer withstand the toss.
Besides, Tu San also knew the truth that "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind", and he was very willing to let Marshal Liu take the lead.
Jiang Ping showed a knowing expression.
Think about it, Huainan Province now has three states under Huo Wu, if you ask for the title of "Huainan Metropolitan Governor" in the head, you will face the Chuzhou army.
Let Marshal Liu put it on his head is the way of smart people.
In the left and right Bozhou army, Tu San is already the first person.
Marshal Liu has two sons and one nephew, and when combined, he can't withstand three disciples.
Jiang Ping set off with a few carts of belongings, and Tu San secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In order to catch up with the "funeral" three days later, the third apprentice will set off today.
When ordering manpower, he involuntarily avoided the Wei brothers, and ordered a few old people who were slightly older and had some incense with the owner of the horse village and others, as well as Chen Dazhi and Liu Biao, two generals who had a relationship with the Chuzhou army, and brought another 1,000 men and horses as personal guards.
The captain of his personal soldiers is no longer Wei Jiang, but Zheng Sanzi, who had entered Quyang with Huo Bao, Shui Jin and others, because of the nickname "Three Sons", he was reinstated as the third son, and now everyone only calls the big name, called Zheng Ji.
Zheng Ji was only fifteen years old, the youngest of the original villagers, and he was very honest and loyal.
For the Wei brothers, the three disciples are not idle, they are all forward generals, and now Wei Hai has led thousands of households, and Wei Jiang is the chief of Qu under his brother.
The third apprentice is not Jiang Ping, the leader of the twenty-two Xiangyong.
The Wei brothers can have one thousand households out of eight thousand households, which is no longer bad.
It's just that compared with the previous time when he was in Chuzhou, second only to Jiang Ping, he wiped out everyone.
This time, the stay in Chuzhou was entrusted to Commander-in-Chief Chen Yi, and the two deputy generals who were born in the countryside were assistants.
On this day, seeing the two groups of people leave, the Wei brothers were a little depressed.
"Big brother...... The third master deliberately didn't take us to Chuzhou......"
Wei Jiang was very panicked in his heart.
In the past few months, the situation of the two brothers can be described as dire.
The fact that Disciple San did not clearly deal with them about the original matter is even more difficult than disposing of them.
The isolation and exclusion of the villagers.
The most hateful thing is Jiang Ping, the culprit, in order to shirk his responsibility, he said bad things about their brothers.
Say something that is useless, young and frivolous, etc.
Wei Hai nodded and said, "In the third master's heart, I'm afraid I still remember the events of June...... If this knot is not unraveled, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the two of us brothers to come out in the future......"
When Wei Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but be anxious: "How can that be good?" ”
At present, troops are being recruited in two counties, and Anyi County will be attacked at the end of September, when the Chuzhou Prefecture will be surrounded on three sides.
Wei Hai squinted his eyes and said, "Don't be impatient, I have already arranged for someone to go back to Quyang to pick up my father and mother and them......"
Wei Jiang frowned: "Why do you pick up people at this time...... It's time for a war......"
Wei Hai glanced at his brother and said, "My little sister is still at home......"
Wei Jiang couldn't help but move: "This ...... Can the third master accept it? ”
In two counties in a row, his wife was not around, and there was no shortage of gentry to send daughters, all of which were politely refused.
By the side of the third apprentice, now there is only one maid to take care of the living, and he is still an old man who follows Chuzhou.
Wei Hai said confidently: "Let my father say, the third master will not refuse......"
Speaking of which, Old Man Wei has a kindness with the apprentice.
Eight years ago, Quyang was also a major drought and epidemic, and the parents and eldest brothers of the third apprentice died at that time.
The second and third apprentices begged the landlord's family to borrow a piece of wasteland on the edge of the forest as a cemetery, but the landlord refused.
Old Man Wei, who was still in the same village, saw that the two brothers were pitiful, so he pointed to a piece of land on his hillside and asked them to bury their parents and brothers.
Wei Jiang thought of the relationship between the two families, and really put his mind at ease and gave birth to a little hope.
Nephew, or flesh and blood?
If the third master has his own flesh and blood, he will naturally have distant relatives, and his nephew or something will have to stand aside.
……
Binjiang County Ya, General Han's office.
General Han suffered a stroke after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now he can only be bedridden, his body is paralyzed, and his tongue is wooden.
Marshal Liu sat in front of his brother-in-law's bed, his face could not hide his tiredness.
General Han glared at Marshal Liu, his eyes were almost on fire, not like looking at relatives, as if looking at enemies.
It is said that it is an enemy, and it is no difference.
General Han, the eldest son of the Lingshui County Lieutenant, fell from his horse and died yesterday.
It is an accident to the outside world, but where are there so many accidents in this world?
General Han didn't need to investigate, and he knew that the murderer was either Liu Er or Liu San.
His son had muttered to him before, saying that his cousins and cousins didn't like him.
He didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect to end up with a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.
"One...... Life...... Repay...... One...... Destiny ......"
General Han used all his strength and said to Marshal Liu.
Marshal Liu couldn't nod.
What General Han thought of, he couldn't think of?
It must be inseparable from the relationship between those two evil animals.
But...... He has lost a son......
General Han had a look of disappointment on his face.
Marshal Liu got up and said, "Don't worry, I will ask someone to arrange my nephew's funeral well......"
Is this nephew innocent?
The Han family occupied Lingshui for half a year, far away from Bozhou, and they had forgotten that they were the Bozhou army and that they were under the command of the Liu family.
When Marshal Liu and his entourage came over, all the people up and down the Lingshui were controlled by the Han clan.
Even if it was such a major event as the brother-in-law's stroke, no one reported it to Bozhou, but continued to control Lingshui, and the heart of self-reliance was clearly revealed......
