Chapter 73: The Zhen family takes refuge
Wuji County, the gate of the city.
Wang Lei led the army back triumphantly, and a group of soldiers marched into the city with their heads held high. The high morale, cold eyes, and proud look shocked hundreds of people and blinded the eyes of the major gentry and businessmen in Wuji County. When Wang Lei led the army to meet Yan Liang, the major families in Wuji County were not optimistic about Wang Lei, because the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was too great.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou have tens of thousands of troops, menacing and unstoppable; There are only about 2,000 soldiers under Wang Lei's command, and his strength is weak, and there are few major generals, which makes it hard to believe that Wang Lei will win.
In the final result, Wang Lei returned victorious, which was unexpected.
This influence has also made countless people start to think about how to face this young county magistrate.
Not to mention the idea of the gentry of Wuji County, Wang Lei was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground after returning to the city.
He placed the prisoners in the barracks, and the matter of collecting the prisoners was temporarily handed over to Yu Poison and Zhenggu. At this time, Wang Lei began to feel that the talents under his command were not enough. Among the personnel under him, Du Yi was in charge of internal affairs and was responsible for logistics; Guo Jia is a military advisor and is responsible for giving advice; Dian Wei is a fierce general, responsible for charging into battle, while Yu Poison and Zheng Gu can be regarded as both fierce generals who charge the battle and generals who govern the army, but if it is about governing the army, the two are mediocre and lack sufficient skills and abilities.
After Wang Lei's strength increased, he desperately wanted to have a leader.
It's a pity that there are no such talents at the moment.
After explaining the general matter, Wang Lei returned to the county office with his tired body. He didn't have time to rest, and Du Ji came to Dao County to report the matter. In the study, the two guests and hosts sat down. Du Ji's expression was relaxed, with a smile in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "The lord's defeat of Yan Liang and Wen Chou this time can be called a double happiness for the lord." ”
"Oh, how is it double happiness?"
Wang Lei was confused and didn't know why Du Ji came to such a conclusion.
Du Ji explained: "When the lord set out on the expedition, the appointment letter of the governor was sent to Wuji County. In the future, the lord will not only be the county commander of Wuji County, but also serve as the governor of Zhongshan Kingdom, and be in charge of the military affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom. In this way, the power in the hands of the lord will increase, and the troops of the entire Zhongshan Kingdom can be mobilized. ”
Wang Lei thought for a moment and said, "The matter of our resistance to Yan Liang's army has already attracted Han Fu's attention. He wanted me to serve wholeheartedly, so that he would not hesitate to reward! As for the position of lieutenant, the key is the benefit of identity, which will not help our strength much, after all, the military strength of Zhongshan is not strong, otherwise it will not be conquered by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. ”
Du Ji said: "The lord's words are reasonable, and with the identity of the captain, it is enough to gain a firm foothold in Zhongshan Kingdom." ”
Wang Lei nodded and continued: "The matter of the commander is put aside for the time being, there are five thousand captives at the moment, and a lot of food and grass support is needed, Brother Bohou has to worry a lot!" ”
"Humble duty understands! We will try our best to raise food and grass. ”
Du Yi said goodbye and left, and Wang Lei sat alone in the room, thinking about the affairs of the captain.
"Boom! Boom! ”
There was a knock on the door, outside the room.
"Come in!"
The voice fell, and Fu Bo walked in and said, "Childe, Zhen Yan is here to visit." ”
Wang Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come to the living room, and I will arrive later." ”
"Yes!"
After Fu Bo left, Wang Lei thought about it a little and then had a smile on his face.
The reason why Zhen Yan came to visit in a hurry must have been to get the fact that he was the captain of Zhongshan State, and to learn that he defeated Yan Liang's army with fewer victories. Wang Lei used to be a small county commander with an inconspicuous reputation, but after defeating Yan Liang in one fell swoop, he was not only promoted, but also made great achievements, and the future is bright, Zhen Yan naturally will not miss the current opportunity.
After thinking about it, Wang Lei got up and walked towards the living room.
In the living room, Zhen Yan stood a little apprehensively, glancing out of the hall from time to time.
Regarding Wang Lei's judgment, he did look away.
He didn't expect Wang Lei's promotion to be so fast, in just a few months, he changed from a helpless county commander to the governor of Zhongshan State, and also defeated the army sent by Yuan Shao. Now Han Fu is worried about Yuan Shao's attack, and Wang Lei's appearance has undoubtedly lit up Han Fu's hope, it can be expected that Wang Lei will definitely be reused by Han Fu and will rise to prominence in the future.
For this reason, Zhen Yan came in a hurry. Businessmen pay attention to strange goods, and the Zhen family is a businessman in Wuji County, and they also want to support a potential person, so as to make the family profitable.
The appearance of Wang Lei made Zhen Yan plan to bet.
A sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Zhen Yan turned to look. In an instant, he arched his back slightly, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Grass people Zhen Yan, I have seen adults." ”
Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "Master Zhen, please take a seat!" ”
The guest and host sat down, and Wang Lei said: "The head of the Zhen family is visiting, I don't know what is important?" ”
Zhen Yan smiled slightly, and said humbly: "I heard that the adults have captured thousands of soldiers, and so many prisoners are a burden, I don't know what the adults plan to do with these five thousand people?" ”
Wang Lei's brain turned quickly, and he immediately changed to an embarrassed expression, and sighed: "It's okay if the head of the Zhen family doesn't say it, but when I say it, I really feel a headache." 5,000 people, 5,000 mouths, how much food do you have to eat in a day? With Wuji County's current capacity, it simply cannot afford the rations of so many soldiers. The head of the Zhen family has a lot of money and has more than 100 million yuan, so it is better to support one or two more and give a few million dollars to buy food. With the background of the Zhen family, millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket, but for me, it is a charcoal in the snow! ”
Brush!
Zhen Yan's face darkened, and she said in her heart, you can really say it.
It's so thick-skinned!
Is a million dollars a small amount?
Zhen Yan took a deep breath, her mind changed, and she thought that she had come to see Wang Lei, she was originally going to support Wang Lei, why did she still feel uncomfortable after listening to Wang Lei's words?
But, he's just not feeling well!
Zhen Yan's thoughts were not revealed, he smiled slightly, and continued: "My lord, Zhen Yan is here to share the worries of adults and help the sorrows in the hearts of adults. ”
"It's so good, if you really want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow!"
Wang Lei's expression changed, put away the casual smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how the Zhen family master plans to support it?" I'm afraid that millions of dollars are not enough to share the worries! ”
Zhen Yan's face was calm, and he said lightly: "The money, food, and weapons that adults need, the Zhen family will fully fund them, even if they do all their money." Can adults be satisfied with such funding? ”
"Really?"
Wang Lei stood up with a solemn expression. He expected Zhen Yan to support him, but he didn't expect Zhen Yan to tie the family to his chariot, which was definitely a big gamble.
Zhen Yan said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”
Wang Lei took a deep breath and said, "You don't live up to me, I don't live up to you!" ”
Eight words, sonorous and powerful.
Zhen Yan stood up, put her hands together and threw her hands to the ground, bowed her head and said, "Zhen Yan, meet the lord!" A sincere word, since then the Zhen family has been completely tied to Wang Lei's chariot.
