Chapter 9 Going to the Future

The "staining" that Yin Xian and Liang's brothers said in their mouths refers to the incident of assisting Jiang Wei to lead troops to suppress the chaos a few days ago.

Jiang Wei poured a glass of wine for Yin Xian, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Yin to handle the grain and grass, so that I don't have to worry about the future, how could I fight so happily." Speaking of which, I want to thank Brother Yin, don't mention these two words. ”

He filled the wine for the Liang brothers again, and said: "That day, walking side by side with the two brothers, it was really comforting, come, I will wait to drink this cup!" ”

Everyone applauded, and they all drank it all.

This is the first time Jiang Wei has drunk alcohol in his life. At this time, the sake is generally koji fermented sake with a low degree. He was socializing in his last life. Drinking Moutai on the round table and whiskey on the table are both highly distilled spirits. Compared to the current wine, it is really as bland as water. However, this sake is made from millet rice, and the aroma of grain is quite strong, and it tastes unique.

A few people chatted while eating, chatting about the interesting things of the expedition, and bursts of laughter from time to time, during which it was inevitable to push the cup and change the lamp.

Yin Xian took a moment's time, stopped his chopsticks, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, and began to talk about business: "There are elders in my family who serve in the state, and I received a letter from the elders yesterday, saying that the reward from the history of the assassination will come in a few days." In the afternoon, Brother Xu and Brother Qian already knew about this, and asked Boyo to come tonight, especially to inform the ear. ”

"Oh? What a reward the assassin gave him? Don't sell it. When Jiang Wei heard this, he also stopped his chopsticks and asked.

Liang Qian laughed and said, "Let the junior brother say it first, the county has already decided to promote the junior brother to be the head of the county." "Originally, he was just a small official in charge of copying in the county office, and the chief accountant was the chief clerk of a county, and the comparison between the two was indeed high. With that, he drank three cups of his own, and the joy in his heart was already unobstructed.

Liang Xu smiled when he saw this, and said, "The state is initially decided, and I am the merit of the county." Gong Cao is an important position to assist the magistrate of a county in handling matters such as the selection of personnel, and he is in a high position, and Liang Xu has also become a hot man in Tianshui.

Jiang Wei raised his glass to congratulate the Liang brothers and looked at Yin Xian.

Yin Xian's face was not wavering, and he only smiled slightly: "In the near future, I will be appointed as the chief bookkeeper of this county." Although he said it lightly, there was an irrepressible pride between his eyebrows. The county chief is in charge of the clerical book, and is the direct assistant to the county governor in the management of internal affairs, so it is natural to imagine the high status in the county.

Jiang Wei toasted three glasses in a row, sincerely happy for his friend.

Yin Xian looked at Jiang Wei, deliberately whetted his appetite, and asked with a smile: "Boyo wants to know what reward the assassin has for you?" ”

Jiang Wei spread his hands and said: "I don't have much pursuit of official positions, I just hope to give a large amount of money and food, so as to solve the pain of no rice in my family." When the three of them saw him so lazy, they all burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, Yin Xian sat up straight and said, "The assassin has already decided to recruit you for the state." ”

Jiang Wei was the middle man of Tianshui County at this time, and he participated in the military of the county, and his responsibility was only to manage the training of the soldiers of Tianshui and suppress the rebellions in various places. If he is recruited to work in the state, he will go to the governor of Chang'an. The sages in the state are gathered, and it is the hub of the place, and if you go further, you can go straight to the center of the imperial court. Compared with his three friends, his transfer can really be regarded as a high promotion.

Even though the Liang brothers had already known about the Assassin's Mansion for Jiang Wei, when they heard it again this time, they still showed a look of half congratulations and half envy.

Yin Xian's body leaned forward and said, "Not only that, General Sima Guohuai of the Western Army was amazed after reading the battle report submitted, and he also threatened to transfer you to serve under his command. ”

Jiang Wei's intention to go south has been decided, and he is unmoved, although it is good to seal the official, it is really not as cost-effective as allocating some money and food. However, Guo Huai mentioned by Fang Cai Yin Xian attracted his attention.

Guo Huai was originally Xiahou Yuan's Sima. After the death of Xiahou Yuan, the Wei army lost its commander, and the three armies lost their color. Guo Huai and the overseers Du raided to rein in the scattered soldiers, and pushed the general Zhang He as the army master, and the hearts of the battalions were determined.

The next day, Liu Bei wanted to cross the Han River to attack. The generals thought that they were outnumbered and wanted to rely on the water as a battle to resist the Shu army. Guo Huai said: "This show of weakness is not enough to defeat the enemy, and it is not counted. It's not as good as far water for Chen, which leads to it, and then hits halfway, and it can be broken. So they lined up north of the Han River, preparing to attack halfway across the river when the Shu army crossed the river. Liu Bei was suspicious, and he held on to each other across the water without crossing. Guo Huai then insisted and showed that he had no return. Liu Bei retired.

Guo Huai turned the tide in the later stage of the Hanzhong Campaign and made a contribution like a needle in the sea, which can be regarded as standing out in the army. Soon, Cao Cao asked Zhang He to take a fake festival and Guo Huai as Zhang He's Sima. In today's Yongzhou military, Zhang He is the chief commander, and Guo Huai is undoubtedly the second most powerful person. But that's a later story, so let's not press the table for the time being.

Everyone has a reward, and now that it is said, the atmosphere in the banquet is naturally more enthusiastic. Jiang Wei picked some wine tables and joked about them, which made everyone laugh. It's staggered for a while, so it's not lively.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Jiang Wei remembered the matter of building the carriage, sighed slightly, and suddenly asked: "The furniture in my house is quite old, this time, I want to build a new set with the joy of Shangguan's reward, do you know that there are skilled craftsmen in the city?" ”

He knew that the craftsmen gathered for the war had not yet dispersed, and he had the intention of borrowing to build a chariot for his mother. The friends here are all local people in Tianshui, with extensive connections and knowledge, and they can find a way out. But I am afraid that everyone will be suspicious, so I can only try to make furniture under the pretext.

Yin Xian really didn't doubt it, patted his chest and said: "What's so difficult about this, before the war, more than 100 craftsmen from the three counties of Fufeng, Longxi and Tianshui were mobilized in the state and placed in the artisan camp in the south of the city. Now that the war is over, and the court has not yet received the reward, the craftsmen from other counties are unwilling to disperse and still stay in the camp. The little colonel in charge of the camp is surnamed Wang, and he is my cousin, and I will send someone to the camp tomorrow. ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed, and after paying tribute to Yin Xian, he saluted again.

Liang Xu was already a little dazed at this time, seeing that Yin Xian and Liang Qian were both red-faced, only Jiang Wei's expression was as usual, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't notice it in the past, and I didn't want Boyo to drink well." ”

Jiang Wei has been drinking for a long time, but in fact, the strength of the wine has already been urged. Thinking that in a few days, you can go south to Shu and show your ambitions, which is really enjoyable and inexplicable. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves passing by on the street, and a poem suddenly flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but chant loudly:

"The white horse is decorated with golden fetters, and it gallops northwest.

By asking who the son is, he is a ranger.

When you are young, you go to the countryside and raise your voice in the desert.

In the past, Bingliang bow, and the arrow was uneven......"

Everyone here is a generation of Yunwen and Yunwu, and they know that Jiang Weiyin is the third son of the current King of Wei, the world-famous "White Horse Chapter" written by Cao Zhi, Marquis of Linzi. When Cao Zhi wrote this poem, he was full of desire and longing for meritorious service. This time everyone is a new achievement, the ambition is complacent, this poem is really in line with the situation, listening to Jiang Wei impassionedly, I can't help but chant with him:

"The one who controls the string breaks the left, and the right one destroys the moon branch.

Raise your hand to catch the flyer, lean over and scatter the horse's hooves.

Cunning than the monkey ape, brave as a leopard.

The border cities are in a hurry, and the number of Hulu has migrated.

The feather came from the north, and the horse climbed the embankment.

Long drive the Huns, left Gu Ling Xianbei.

Abandon the edge of the blade, and take your life safely?

Parents don't care, how can they say a son and a wife?

The name of the strong man is not allowed to take care of his own interests.

Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home. ”

The more the four of them chanted, the louder they became, and the more they groaned, the more emotional they became. I think of myself as the young hero in the poem who sees death as if he were at home and goes to the national disaster together. After thinking about it, looking left and right, for a while I was full of excitement and couldn't help myself. This blood is full of blood, as if it is about to gush out. The four of them looked at each other for a long time, only realizing that they were beside them, what more could they ask for, and suddenly they joined hands and laughed, and the laughter shook the beams of the house, and they wanted to break the house and leave.
