Chapter 639: There are people in Jiangnan

Looking at this familiar but unfamiliar woman, Li Dong's heart suddenly tightened, and at this time he understood one thing, feelings are in this wind and rain, in this plain and bland, it seems that the people around him are so ordinary, and they are usually used to it, but suddenly I wanted to leave, only to find that feelings, which are ordinary people who accompany him, are so important.

Standing up, he approached the narrow and dark canopy, but suddenly he was stunned, because it was only in this short time, and the chaotic canopy was extremely clean at this time, and everything was just like magic in the hands of this woman, becoming orderly and pleasing to the eye.

"You wait a minute, and the meal will be ready in a while." While the woman was busy, she said to her casually, this sentence is something that has to be said every day in the past five years, but it is also almost the only sentence between the two people in the past five years, but at this time, it is so warm in Li Dong's ears.

"Come and sit down, and I'll talk to you about something."

The woman's body stiffened, but she still sat meekly beside him, and Li Dong wrapped his arms around her, which was rare gentleness, and the woman leaned her head on Li Dong's shoulder.

"I can tell you now, I'm not actually a fisherman, I'm a soldier, I have killed people on the battlefield, I have made meritorious contributions, and later my lord made me a family member of the lord because of my loyalty, and named me the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

"Is the commander an officer?"

Li Dongzhe nodded proudly: "It's an official, not only an official, but in addition to our family's father-in-law, I am a third-level official." ”

"Who is your father-in-law?"

"It's the famous Youzhou Mu Lu Peng." Then Li Dong began to talk to him about Lu Peng, his comrades-in-arms, his family, and everything that came to mind.

The woman was sad: "So, you are going back to Youzhou, Youzhou is a paradise on earth, but unfortunately, I am not blessed." ”

Li Dong laughed rarely: "Why don't you have a blessing to go?" You are my wife, and wherever I go, you will follow me wherever I go, and in the future, if I die in battle, I will ask you to burn incense and go to my grave. ”

The woman raised her face violently, looked at Li Dong quietly, and after a long time, tears couldn't help rolling down, and after a while, she lowered her head again: "I am a woman from Jiangnan, my parents' tombs are in Jiangnan, and my roots are in Jiangnan, so I don't want to go to the north." ”

Li Dong was stunned, and gently let go of the shoulders that were hugging the woman, and the two of them silently remained silent again.

"You wait a while, the meal will be ready soon." The woman stood up and continued to say the same thing as she had always spoken.

Li Dong muttered for a while, and replied as usual.

When the sky darkened, the expensive oil lamp was lit, and Li Dong unfolded the instruction in his hand: "The Yangtze River lord takes the task." ”

Lu Peng looked at the man in front of him, he really couldn't believe it, this person was the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Jiangnan, the rank of military marquis, and the commander of a thousand commanders in the army.

"Shouldn't our Jinyiwei, your residence be in Jianye? At the beginning, I also stipulated that a person of your level has an office fee, and you can use this office fee in Jianye to take care of a piece of business, but how can you be so depressed? ”

Li Dong handed over the heavy burden on his body to Lu Peng's hands, and explained to Lu Peng: "When we assigned the task of Jinyiwei, we didn't pay much attention to Jiangnan, although I was the commander of Jinyiwei, but there was no one under me, and the task I received was also simple, that is, to draw a map of the various waterways of the Yangtze River, so I could only have one fishing boat, and the four seas were my home." ”

Taking over the heavy burden, Lu Peng opened it and said with understanding: "At the beginning, the focus of our work was in the north, and for the south, we didn't have any connection in interests and forces at all, so our limited funds were invested in the north, which hurt you, the south. ”

As he spoke, he opened the baggage, inside was a thick stack of maps, the bottom one had been moldy and moth-eaten, but the top one was brand new, and the detailed map of the Yangtze River waters was here, showing in front of Lu Peng.

Lu Peng was very satisfied with this result, put down these maps, and patted them gently: "Judging from these maps, you are very attentive to what you do, you are a good hand, and you have not slacked off because you are not valued here, in this case, I have decided to transfer you back to the north and entrust you with a heavy responsibility." ”

Li Dong knelt down to Lu Peng gratefully, and after kowtowing, he shook his head and smiled bitterly when he stood up: "Thank you for the lord's care, but the lord's kindness has been received by his subordinates, if Jiangnan still has a task, he will hand it over to his subordinates to continue to do, if Jiangnan has no tasks, his subordinates will ask for dismissal, and be a fisherman in this Jiangnan in a down-to-earth manner." ”

Lu Peng asked inexplicably, "Why?" ”

Li Dong went outside and greeted: "Family, come in and meet the lord." As soon as his words fell, a soft and weak woman came in with her head down, and when she saw Lu Peng, she felt a little at a loss.

Li Dong took her hand and pulled her tightly to his side: "I don't plan to go back to the north, because I already have roots and support here." ”

The woman looked at Li Dong in surprise, and after a long time, she hugged her waist tightly, buried her face in his chest, and cried and sobbed.

The corners of Lu Peng's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and then smiled at Li Dong and said: "Okay, okay, your actions prove your loyalty to me, and my temptation also let me know that you can continue to be competent, so I decided, because of the needs of the situation, Jiangnan's Jinyiwei should be vigorously developed, I and your boss have decided to set up a separate branch of Jinyiwei in Jiangnan, at first I was worried about the selection of people, and now I have decided that this branch of Jiangnan Jinyiwei will be handed over to you to be in charge, and the number of people will be tentatively set at 5000, You are under Mr. Xu Jie, responsible for managing these 5,000 brothers, do it well, I hope that every move of Jiangnan is under our control. ”

This huge surprise completely stunned Li Dong, and it took him a long time to wake up: "The lord won't transfer me back to the north?" ”

Lu Peng smiled and pointed at the woman and said, "How can I beat the mandarin ducks, what a pair of bitter people, I will give you happiness." ”

After saying that, he arranged for him to settle the woman, and then brought him to meet the guide arranged by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's faction under him is a military marquis-level, and the official rank is not big or small, as a person who can observe at any time, it is very appropriate, so as to avoid Lu Peng's embarrassment. Every time Lu Peng wanted to ask for his opinion, or asked him to point out the hydrology of the waterway, this guy smiled and said: "The subordinates really don't understand, the subordinates are really different, the subordinates are not locals, the subordinates are Martians." ”

In the end, Lu Peng gave up, but fortunately, Li Dong came, Li Dong was indeed conscientious in Jiangnan for five years, and now he has become the most competent navigator of the Yangtze River waterway, and he knows everything about the forks and turns of the ditch and ditch.

Because he has to swim all over the waters of the Yangtze River, he knows those water bandits well, and when it comes to Gan Ning, Li Dong is even more familiar with it, because that guy also fell in love with this guy who was very capable at that time, and involuntarily had a murderous aura, and wanted to pull him to be his little brother, and promised him to give him a piece of land to collect protection money.

As a result, Li Dong did not agree in order to draw a map of waterways in various places, but later Gan Ning sent someone to find him, and in the end, the person replied to Gan Ning that Li Dong was abolished. That's it.

For such a small episode, Lu Peng proudly commented: "Even if he is Gan Ning Gan Xingba has a vision, who in the world doesn't know that the people under me are all talent elites, so I will give us a little brother to do it, it is really a dog's eye to look down on people, in the future, this general scoop in the Yangtze River basin is my beloved general Li Dong." ”

Li Dong smiled and continued to talk about his affairs: "Since Gan Ning Gan Xingba came from Bashu East, he has used his huge reputation, powerful force, and this person's deep scheming, but in just three years, he has leveled the water bandits of the Yangtze River and the five lakes, and has truly become the uncrowned king of this area, as long as he ascends to the top and shouts, there is no problem in gathering 100,000 water thieves on this Yangtze River." ”

Lu Peng nodded, it is not surprising that one of the top generals in the Three Kingdoms has such an ability, just looking at the formation he intercepted outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, which illustrates this point: "But unfortunately, what about 100,000 water thieves?" It's just a rabble, and outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, I've learned his skills. However, through that bonfire party on the shore, I really understood his prestige in Jiangnan, which is the most terrible, so for our long-term plans for the future, for our future commercial forces to enter the south smoothly, I must strangle this tiger before his minions are not sharp. ”

Li Dong smiled bitterly and said: "Don't underestimate this Gan Ning Gan Xingba, he is not only a tiger, but also an extremely smart tiger, if you want to catch it, if he doesn't appear, we have no way." ”

Lu Peng smiled and said to Li Dong: "A few days ago, he detained a group of our merchant ships, he killed almost all the guys on the merchant ships, but left the owner of this fleet alone, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Lu Peng's jumping thinking made it difficult for Li Dong to adapt for a while, but the lord raised this question, which was definitely a consideration for himself, Li Dong pondered a little, and replied in a deep voice: "Ganning Ganxingba has been crisscrossing the Yangtze River basin for many years, although he has achieved a water hegemony, but he has also developed an extremely proud and conceited character, which can be used by us." ”

The question and answer of the two people seem to be incompatible, but the hearts of the two people are the same.

Lu Peng said: "If you have such knowledge, I can rest assured that I will hand over the Jiangnan branch to you." "This power is very great, and this position is also very important, and now that Lu Peng has handed him over to Li Dong, he can be regarded as truly relieved.

Li Dong just bent down lightly, and then continued: "Since Gan Ning intercepted our merchant ship and released it back to the cargo owner, coupled with his proud character, this shows that he was beaten by the lord at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and he Gan Ning did not swallow this breath, and obediently ran back to Liu Biao to avoid the risk, but was still unwilling, and was ready to continue to compete with the lord in this Yangtze River basin." ”

"You're right, he didn't stop me because I agreed to the pleas of the great families at that campfire dinner to let him go."

Li Dong said: "The lord is a good trick." ”

"How?" Lu Peng asked with interest.

"The lord deliberately released the rumor of releasing Gan Ning at that dinner, thinking that those people from the family would come to Gan Ning for the first time to ask for merit and reward, and with Gan Ning's proud character, the lord's approach to releasing people and horses just aroused Gan Ning's fighting spirit to continue to deal with us, and it is entirely possible that Gan Ning will be misunderstood and think that we are showing weakness to him." Then he looked at the lord very suspiciously: "Could it be that Gan Ning was noticed by the lord in the first place?" ”

Lu Peng replied lightly: "A water thief, why should I be familiar with him, am I idle?" ”

"If the lord is not very familiar with this person, how can you make such a clever trick, this is more clever than the method of agitation, which requires a complete grasp of the opponent's character, if the lord is not familiar with this person, then the lord is really a celestial."

Because he has been separated from the official yamen for many years, Li Dong is used to being free and easy on the rivers and lakes, so there is no such condescension and humility in the officialdom in speaking, let alone the feeling of trembling, he really wants to say what he wants, but this is very much to Lu Peng's appetite, and he has to leave half a sentence when he talks to those people all day long, and then the clouds and mountains are covered in fog, so that you don't know what he wants to say Compared with the bureaucrats who don't know what he wants to say, it is much easier to talk to this Mr. Li.

For Li Dong's almost unreasonable way of speaking, Lu Peng didn't take it to heart at all, he was a traverser, and he mastered the temper and character of the most famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, in that era of knowledge explosion, it was not any problem at all, that is, if you didn't understand it.

But I couldn't say these words, and I didn't want to explain them, so I continued to say along my topic: "My purpose this time is to annihilate Gan Ning Gan Xingba in this water, so that our army will go south to unify Jiangnan and sweep away a famous general in the southern water war, so I have to cheer up and concentrate on dealing with him." Then he said with a relaxed expression: "Fortunately, this Gan Ning did not disappoint me, he did not flee back to Liu Biao's chicken coop because of my momentary mistake and beating him too much, it would be easy for him not to go back, Liu Zhi has already gone to Liu Biao to walk around, but in this way, I will not delay me to continue to beat him, because he is not within Liu Biao's jurisdiction, I can confirm that he is a water thief, thieves come to fight, this is the responsibility of ordinary people to watch, I as a dignified Han general, of course, duty." ”

For the first time, Li Dong learned his lord's ability to argue without reason, but he thought that this should be the case, as long as he achieved his goal, he could find any reason, there was really no reason, so he could make one up.

"And he robbed my merchant ship this time, just to demonstrate to me, that is, to declare war on me, so now I am not worried about not finding him at all, as long as I wait patiently for him for two more days, he will definitely come to me." Then he stretched his waist, stood at the bow of the boat, and looked at the lonely fishing boat outside his camp, Lu Peng said: "In the back, I have prepared some cloth and firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can take it, don't wronged a good woman." ”

Li Dong gave Lu Peng a deep salute gratefully.

Lu Peng smiled strangely: "I handed over the post of commander of the Jiangnan branch to you, and you didn't thank me like now, I just gave that woman a few pieces of cloth, but you sincerely thanked me, but I don't know why." ”

Li Dong replied with a smile: "Because this woman is my root." ”

Lu Peng smiled understandingly, and then listened to it thoroughly, because on that small boat, there were bursts of pleasant Jiangnan songs, which were singing happily, which made people listen to it pleasing to the eye and feel relaxed and happy.

It's the World Cup, beer crayfish, and a big Uncle Ben chapter, brothers, go happily
