Chapter 97: Zhang Yan Visits Again
In one day, Wang Lei arranged the affairs of Ye County.
The next day, Wang Lei left Ye County, accompanied by Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and Zhang Jaw. Compared with before he came, Wang Lei has two more first-class strategists under his command, and one more general who can command the three armies, which has achieved Wang Lei's goal. Prior to this, Wang Lei only had Guo Jia, Du Ji, Dian Wei, Yu Poison, Zheng Gu and Yan Liang under his command.
Among these people, Guo Jia is a well-deserved top strategist, but Guo Jia cannot be exhaustive, and one person is short-minded, and it is impossible to solve all problems. Du Ji is only good at internal affairs, and many things are difficult to deal with, but with the addition of Tian Feng and the trial, Wang Lei's entire civil official team has become plump and stronger.
In addition, the generals have also been greatly improved.
Yan Liang is strong in martial arts, but he is only a fierce general who charges into battle, and when it comes to the ability to lead troops and manage the army, he is far inferior to Zhang Jaw. Even if Yu Poison and Su Gu can lead the troops, neither of them is a talent for commanding the army, nor is it a talent for governing the army. The addition of Zhang Jaw made up for the biggest loophole in Wang Lei's army and made Wang Lei's entire team more perfect.
The group left Ye County and went to Julu County, and after entering Julu County, they went to Wuji County.
Returning to Wuji County, it has been less than three days before the Chinese New Year.
Wang Lei spent a day settling down the families of Zhang Jaw, Tian Feng, and the judges, and handed over the command of the army to Zhang Jaw. As Wang Lei said before, Wang Lei did not suspect that he would use people, and handed over the command of the army under his command to Zhang Jaw. At the beginning, Zhang Jaw had just taken over the army, and some soldiers and generals were not convinced. After all, it has always been Yan Liang, Yu Poison and Gu management. However, the serious attitude displayed by Zhang Jaw and the method of training the army with open jaw made the soldiers realize what the army was like, and even Dian Wei had to admit that this open jaw training was a good hand, and the means of training and the attitude of governing the army were difficult to catch up with in poison and stubbornness.
The affairs of the army were handled well, and Zhongshan Kingdom was soon on the right track.
The power under Wang Lei has developed rapidly during the time that Wang Lei left. In particular, the 800 Tiger Battalion and the 600 Flying Tiger Battalion have continuously increased their strength, and although their numbers have not increased, their strength has greatly increased.
In addition, the number of troops under Wang Lei's command has also exceeded 10,000.
To have such strength, it is naturally the full support of the Zhen family, otherwise Wang Lei will be difficult to expand his strength in a short period of time even if he has Zhongshan Kingdom as his backing force.
There is still one day before the end of the year, and on this day, Wang Lei patrols in the army.
A soldier walked in, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Zhang Yan is asking to see you outside the camp." ”
A look of surprise appeared on Wang Lei's face, and he immediately regained his composure, waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”
After the soldiers left, Wang Lei also went to the big tent of the Chinese army.
When he returned to the tent, he sat down, frowning slightly. Because before leaving Zhongshan, Zhang Yan and Wang Lei had met in the county government. At that time, Wang Lei had proposed to cooperate with Zhang Yan to let Zhang Yan gradually move the old and weak women and children of the Black Mountain Army out of the mountains and forests.
Wang Lei was busy at the time and didn't have time to deal with it, so the matter was pressed and not dealt with.
Now that Zhang Yan has taken the initiative to visit, I am afraid that she has made a decision.
Wang Lei thought about it and roughly understood. Zhang Yan didn't make a decision at that time because Wang Lei was just a county magistrate, with a small weight and a low position, which made Zhang Yan distrust, or Zhang Yan felt that Wang Lei had ulterior motives. Now, Wang Lei has changed and become the prime minister of a country, and his strength has increased greatly, this is no longer the identity of the past, and Zhang Yan naturally sees a lucrative opportunity.
After a while, the curtain of the tent door was rolled up, and Zhang Yan strode in.
Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "Zhang Shuai, please take a seat!" ”
Zhang Yan sat down and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Wang Guoxiang, in just half a year, he has become an official on the ruling side, the speed of promotion is amazing!" Compared with Wang Guoxiang's power, Zhang Yan sighed to herself. ”
Wang Lei's expression was calm, and he replied lightly: "This is just the weight of the state pastor, and it is not worth mentioning." ”
Zhang Yan smiled and looked at Wang Lei with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
At the beginning, he told Bai Huan that Wang Lei had ill intentions and did not plan to cooperate with Wang Lei. But after Wang Lei's identity changed, he was already the object that Zhang Yan needed to treat carefully. Even, Zhang Yan knew that he was at war with Wang Lei, and if he brought the Black Mountain Army to attack Wuji County again, the final result might not be his victory, but his defeat.
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Yan is here for the hundreds of people of the Black Mountain Army. ”
Wang Lei said: "Oh, please speak up. ”
Zhang Yan's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect Wang Lei to avoid answering, so he had to say: "I plan to move the old and weak women and children of the Black Mountain Army out of the mountains and forests, so that they can integrate into Zhongshan Country and become a part of Zhongshan Kingdom." ”
Wang Lei hummed, but was noncommittal.
Zhang Yan didn't like it in her heart, thinking that I was also a person who had been in the limelight, but she still suppressed her anger and said lightly: "When the kingdom minister mentioned the alliance, didn't he plan to fulfill the agreement?" ”
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "At that time, who said that he wanted to think about it, he would answer my news." But how long did this delay take, and was a few months a short time? Zhang Shuai's answer made me very confused! ”
Zhang Yan's complexion changed greatly, and she felt even more embarrassed.
This matter is indeed his fault.
Wang Lei snorted in his heart, he understood that the relationship between himself and Zhang Yan did have the old man as a link, and there was an unclear relationship, but Wang Lei knew his interests better. Wang Lei proposed to form an alliance with Zhang Yan in the past, but he needed Zhang Yan's help to ensure his safety, so he made concessions and took the initiative to let Zhang Yan take out the old and weak women and children.
Time has passed, the situation has changed, and it is impossible for Wang Lei to settle the old and weak women and children of the Montenegrin Army for Zhang Yan for no reason. Now Zhang Yan proposed that Wang Lei would not let his interests be damaged. If you miss the opportunity, you can't come back. Wang Lei took a deep breath and said: "At that time, it is impossible for me to place the old and weak women and children for no reason. Zhang Shuai wants me to settle the Montenegrin Army, and I need to give sincerity. ”
Zhang Yan's face was cold, and she stared at Wang Lei with burning eyes.
I didn't expect this kid to be so direct.
But Zhang Yan thought of the expansion speed of Wang Lei's strength, and felt sad again. Missed the opportunity is really in a different form. Now Wang Lei is different from the past, and he is no longer the person he kneades at will. Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Wang Guoxiang, what kind of sincerity do you need?" ”
At this moment, he lost the bargaining capital with Wang Lei.
Wang Lei took a deep breath and said: "My conditions are very simple, I only need that when Yuan Shao leads the army to attack, Zhang Shuai can send troops to help." Zhang Shuai, what do you think? ”
