Text Chapter 49 Collect the Heart
It is said that after Li Yiyi and his entourage arrived at Shengwei's camp, they first ate a so-called "hard dish" before explaining their intention to him - to be co-opted.
What kind of character Sheng Wei is, he can mix from a grass coward to a mountain king, with thousands of soldiers who dare to fight, and more than 300 cavalry. Although it is not a big force, for Jing Ranyan, this team is what he urgently needs. There are few people, strong combat effectiveness, and most importantly, the small forces can't beat him, and the big forces can't look down on him.
Obviously, as a smart person, Sheng Wei must also know, so when he saw Li Ren, he didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the topic.
"I didn't know the angel was coming, but it was for ......"
Sheng Wei sat on the main seat, bowed down, and looked at Li Ren with straight eyes.
Li Ren looked ridiculous, but the current environment should have been more serious.
Li Ren: "Don't hide it from the general, I came here today on the orders of the king, for the future of the general and his brothers."
Sheng was overjoyed in his heart, and sure enough!
In this era, no one is willing to be a homeless person, after all, there is a home, and there is a lamp to go back and wait for him at night, which is the greatest comfort for anyone.
"Hey, I don't hide it from the angels, I am a good citizen in Shangdang County, although I can't be called a big family, but I'm not an exile in the mountains and forests, and it's not just me, even these brothers who follow me, which one of them really wants to fall into the grass? What's more, Zhao Jun is cruel and has deceived me for a long time, and I am looking forward to the arrival of the heavenly army, like looking forward to Ganlin! ”
Speaking of sadness, Sheng Wei even had red circles under his eyes.
This Li Ren is believed.
Before the arrival of the army of Zhao State, although the situation in Shangdang County was far more complicated than some cities in Chu State, Shangdang County was also a large county in Hexi! Needless to say, the food is the customs, and there is no need for those big cities in Zhongzhou, and as a strategic place, the Chu State will definitely have more snacks here. Therefore, many people in Shangdang County are attached to their hearts and hearts, which is one of the main reasons why Jing Ran dares to come here to get a piece of the pie.
But Jingyu's rebellious ministers and thieves, in order to get foreign support, actually gave away Shangdang County and hundreds of thousands of people here! That's it, and it actually made another bad move, provoking Qin and Zhao to fight, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands of horses, the current Shangdang County, as long as you go to the road, you will definitely see the soldiers of the two countries who died in the battle, a good place, now it is full of devastation, the war is everywhere, the two countries in order to defeat each other, do everything they can, but in addition to those soldiers of the two countries who died in the battle, in the final analysis, the most unlucky are the people of Shangdang County......
So it's not difficult to imagine that Xiang Sheng is more than one person like this.
When Li Ren thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that the people of Hexi in my Chu country would have such a tragic encounter."
Sheng Wei is also an upright man, where can I not see that Li Ren is heartfelt emotion and sadness, and he has no prejudice against this strategist who came to co-opt him.
Having said that, Sheng also wants to return to the arms of the Chu State, and from then on, he and his brothers are the real soldiers of the Chu State! They will never be looked down upon by the people of Zhao again, and no one will say that they are rogues again!
But now Shengwei can't just do it for himself, nor can he make his own decisions wishfully to arrange a life that the people under him don't want.
"Lord Angel, there is a word below, and it is also something that most of the soldiers in our army hope that the king can do for us."
Of course Li Ren was happy, because what the other party said meant that he really wanted to be adopted by the king!
Now it's all well said. But the biggest problem is that he has to worry about his own little worries.
Sheng said in his letter that he was a "messenger", and it was impossible for Li Ren to really do things according to the king's wishes. After all, everyone has said that he can't give him a military position that he doesn't like anymore as a general, guerrilla or the like.
Now I can't help it, so I have to put it off for a while.
Li Ren immediately bowed his hand in the direction of Jingyu's garrison:
King Shengming, although he is still young. But he has been through a hundred battles and has seen the world in a cold and cold state, as long as the general is really sincere, with the general's character and martial arts, plus the king's blue eyes, the general has no good future.
This is what he is waiting for.
"Since it is the king's intention, as subjects of the Chu State, how can we have the reason of disobedience."
Li Ren was already laughing in his heart, he originally thought that he would be with Sheng Wei for a few days, but he didn't expect that everything would develop so smoothly now......
Li Ren: "General, please give me three days in the next three days, and immediately ask the king for an order, and give the general a satisfactory answer!"
As he spoke, he arched his hand to Sheng Wei.
Sheng Wei has no worries now, and both sides have already talked about the final step, and they are not afraid to wait for two more days.
At the moment, Sheng Wei also simply: "Then everything depends on Mr."
Li Ren stood up and hurriedly returned the salute.
The two gossiped for a while, and Li Ren hurriedly retired, he was now in a hurry to go back and report the situation to Jing Ran.
"Ministers, worship the king again, everything is in place, only Sheng Wei and the subordinates have not yet decided."
Yes, he said a sub-seal, not a reward.
Sheng Wei has now expressed his intentions, he wants to be a civilian official, but how can a civilian official be a general?
Li Ren thought about it carefully, and there really is, that is, the founder of Great Chu and the Gongsheng Min.
This person turned out to be the Xuanfu envoy of the Zhongzhou Son of Heaven faction in Chu, but as a result, the Great Chu and other countries were in trouble, and the Son of Heaven existed in name only, Sheng Min saw that his old master, the Son of Heaven in Zhongzhou, had lost his previous power, so he resolutely decided to find a clear way for himself and his descendants, that is, to defect to Chu.
He expected that the Chu State was established at the beginning, and the national policy was not determined, so he personally took the cultural relics and classics left by the Son of Heaven in the Chu State, and the poems, books, rites and music defected to the King of Chu, not only that, but he also brought the first heavy armor soldiers of the Chu State. And he himself led this strong army as a deputy minister who participated in politics.
Therefore, Shengwei used civilian officials as military generals, but did not violate the old customs of the Chu State.
Sheng Wei also thinks so, he is a descendant of Sheng Min's distant branch, and his ancestors were naturally not affected by Sheng Min's rebellion, so his ancestors and descendants were preserved. Now, he is going to follow the path of his ancestors again.
- Civilian officials lead the troops, and lead the envoys!
That's what he's aiming for.
Jing Ran naturally knew what he meant.
"When the Great Chu was founded, there was also a character with the surname Sheng, who assisted the previous king to set the world and was the lord of one party, and now there is another character with the surname Sheng. Hehe, it's fate......"
Jing Ran naturally felt that Sheng Wei's request was not surprising, after all, not everyone was willing to give up the right to really assist a king who could not see the future.
"Let's Draw Up"
Jing Ran looked at Baoyu and smiled:
"At this time, where to find such a real minister, he doesn't have any eyes in his heart."
Jing Ran paused: "I just hope that he won't be the same as Sheng Min......"
Baoyu lowered his head and smiled slightly: "King Enwei, he naturally won't, and now that the country is in danger, he thinks that since he has voted for the king, he will no longer have any other thoughts, and will think about the king wholeheartedly......"
Yes, who else can Sheng Wei vote for now besides himself. Zhao Guo? I can't wait for a small force like him to die one day, Qin State? Nature will not allow it......
Now only Jing Ran still thinks they are a treasure.
At the moment, Jing Ran can't think of the future.
"Let's make a decision."
Jing Ran: "The lonely heart is very comforting......"
Baoyu stopped writing: "King, that's all?"
Jing Ran smiled: "Do you want anything else?" Haha, don't worry, Mr. Li will know. ”
After saying that, he stopped ignoring Baoyu and carefully looked at the battle report.
Two days later, Li Ren received a letter from Jing Ran: Lonely heart is very comforting......
"It seems that the king agreed."
The cavalry beside Li Ren smiled, "It seems that this time it's cheaper than these gangsters." ”
Li Ren shook his head: "Don't say that in the future, these people are an important step in the hegemony of the Great King, and there must be no problems, from tomorrow onwards, these people will be part of my Great Chu New Army." ”
Li Ren said that, and wrote it on a piece of paper:
The king's will: Those who are promoted, the ancestors have merit, not as good as the descendants, and now they are the kings of the army, adhering to the will of heaven!
The special order is as follows!
Shengwei, for the Shangdang County Xuanwei! Lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, march with the king, and add the rank of third-class general!
The rest of the congregation shall be divided according to the list.
At this point, this surrender related to Jingran's hegemony is over.
Li Ren sat on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, finally living up to the king's trust.
"Pass the order, tomorrow at noon, put the king in the royal car, and go to the camp as an angel!"
At noon on the second day, Li Ren drove the angel and went straight to the Shengwei camp.
Li Ren stopped when he was still three miles away from the camp.
A cavalry sergeant beside Li Ren asked suspiciously: "Sir, why don't you move forward......
Li Ren smiled: "Have you ever seen a king's frame go by yourself?"
Yes, Zhongzhou has not had such a thing since the founding of the country!
"Wait."
Sure enough, after a while, Sheng Wei waited for a hundred cavalry and drove out with great momentum.
He soon arrived in front of Li Ren and hurriedly dismounted.
"Minister, Sheng Wei, meet the king angel!"
Sheng Wei knelt down as he spoke.
Seeing this, Li Ren calmly accepted the salute: "Under the king's order, I accepted this salute." Now the general will please. ”
As he spoke, he also dismounted and hurriedly helped Sheng Wei.
"General, please."
As he spoke, he looked back: "Please decree the king."
Sheng Wei and the generals were about to kneel again, but were stopped by Li Ren.
"The King's Decree ......"
Then there was a long and verbose speech, and everyone who listened to it was dazed.
I don't know how long I've been reading, but I finally got to the point:
Shengwei, for the Shangdang County Xuanwei! Lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, march with the king, and add the rank of third-class general!
Sheng is overjoyed, there are civil officials and military positions!
"Minister, King Xie!"
Li Ren smiled and did not speak:
The king has finally taken an important step! Next, it's time to make a move.
That's right, the king is going to officially intervene in the Qin Zhao war next!
