Chapter 200: Mother-in-law's troubles
Xiahou Lan pondered for a moment, and replied cautiously: "The last general is young and shallow, he has just joined the Central Army, and his prestige is not enough to correct the military discipline of the 100,000 army, if I am given 1,000 people, I can barely be competent." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jin Liang nodded in approval, if Xiahoulan agreed to this errand without hesitation, Jin Liang would definitely be very suspicious, Xiahoulan thought so carefully, he must be confident, then give him a brigade to do an experiment of military discipline adjustment: "Zifang, you first enter my Xuanfu camp for a month, first make a team to join the army, a month later, the military system in our army is completed, I will send you to a brigade to be a military leader." ”
Xia Houlan gladly accepted the order.
Jin Liang looked at Zhao Yun seriously: "Zilong, how many people do you think you can control now?" ”
Zhao Yun thought about it very seriously for a while, and replied very cautiously: "I spend more time on martial arts than on the art of war, and I feel that I have not yet learned the way of general soldiers, nor do I have any experience in leading troops into battle, I feel that with my current ability and experience, I can barely command a hundred people." ”
Jin Liang laughed and said: "Zilong, why is he too humble, what you lack now is mainly experience and qualifications, so let's do it, you first enter my training camp for a month, first be a captain, and then be a battalion commander in my Flying Tiger Army a month later, if you feel that there is progress in leading the troops in battle, you can take the initiative to propose to me, you can be released as a brigade commander, and then a division commander and a military commander." Zilong, I won't tell you, I have high hopes for you, I hope that you can study the art of war diligently and grow into a great general who is in charge as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Yun's heart was surging, and he was so excited that he never thought that the lord would be able to put himself in the shoes of a subordinate general and consider the future of the other party. I am very grateful. But in front of him, he arched his hand very calmly: "Thank you for your kindness." The last general will study hard and practice hard to live up to the cultivation of the virtuous prince. ”
Jin Liang nodded with satisfaction, Zhao Yun's calm performance made him very satisfied, if he was so excited that he didn't choose to speak, it would not be Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong in his hope, Zhao Yun admired Jin Liang the most and was willing to entrust him with important tasks not his martial arts but his calm mind.
Jin Liang looked at Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Feng seriously: "May I ask Brother Zhao's words?" ”
Zhao Feng arched his hand and said: "Feng Xiangong, the word tiger in the following table." ”
Jin Liang smiled and asked: "Why is the eldest brother's character tiger, and the younger brother's character is dragon?" ”
Zhao Feng replied with a smile: "The tiger follows the wind." The dragon is from the clouds, and the words of our brothers come from here. ”
Jin Liang asked again: "Zihu, I heard that Ling Zun was a county magistrate before his death, and now Zilong is in the army, is Zihu willing to inherit Ling Zun's mantle and enter politics?" ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly shook his head: "Xian Ting Gong, my brother is frail and sickly, and he has to recuperate at home, and he can't bear the labor of an official eunuch!" ”
Jin Liang pointed in the direction of Xiangyang: "Zilong, I opened the Central University Hall in Xiangyang, and there is a medical school in the Central University Hall. The two deans of the medical school are Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, and there are these two miracle doctors in Yecheng. Your brother's body will recover! ”
Speaking of this, Jin Liang paused, and then asked Zhao Feng: "I heard that you used to be a small official in the county, because of your weak health, so you resigned and returned home to recuperate, why don't you go back to Xiangyang with Zilong and Zifang with me, temporarily study in the School of Political Science of the Central University Hall for three months, and receive treatment from Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji at the same time. ”
Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng brothers bowed down together and bowed: "The virtuous prince is so loving, it is difficult for my brothers to repay their broken bones." ”
Jin Liang hurriedly helped them up: "You have great talents in governing the army and government, I cherish your talents, and I can't bear you to wander in this village." Hey, by the way, we're going to get ready to go up the mountain to annihilate the remnants of this bandit! ”
Zhao Yun looked at Xia Houlan: "Brother Xian, are you willing to follow your brother up the mountain to destroy the thief?!" ”
Xia Houlan arched his hand and said: "I want to do it!" ”
Zhao Yun said to his brother Zhao Feng again: "Big brother, you will take the villagers to quickly repair the gate and house of this village and clean up this battlefield." ”
Although Zhao Feng was a few years older than Zhao Yun, he was convinced of his younger brother's arrangements and complied with them one by one.
Jin Liang selected a hundred soldiers who were good at climbing from the Flying Tiger Army to follow him up the mountain to destroy the thieves, and instructed Dian Wei and Guo Jia to lead the remaining Flying Tiger soldiers to help the villagers of the Zhao family repair the gate and houses.
Zhao Yun nodded secretly, although Jin Liang came for himself, he could also see that his benevolence and righteousness in caring for the people was purely natural, not fake.
Led by Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, Jin Liang led a hundred Flying Tiger Army to follow, along the tree-lined winding path, turned back and climbed the stone steps, and arrived in front of a large natural grotto at the waist of the cliff of Flying Stone Peak.
Jin Liang looked at it, this grotto seemed to be a square courtyard, surrounded by walls on three sides, and one side faced the cliff, which was very dangerous.There are more than 200 people living in the grotto, from a distance, they are all young and middle-aged men like the thieves who ran to Zhaojia Village to loot, think about it, these thieves are actually unwilling to be restrained by the Feiyan army to run north here, their old and weak women and children in the original cottage are probably all in the hands of Zhang Yan, I am afraid that they have now been transferred to Han Hao's Tuntian Corps.
There were also several looting folk girls in the grotto, who were being played by these bandits. Xia Houlan saw from a distance that there was a folk girl who was still from their Zhaojia Village, and she couldn't help but be angry, so she wanted to rush into the grotto with a spear.
Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him and pointed to the structure of the grotto, surrounded by walls on three sides, facing a cliff on one side, only a narrow path on the right can be passed, and he can't use a spear, and he will be attacked by the thieves inside at the entrance of the grotto.
Jin Liang looked around the scene around the Flying Grottoes, pointed to a protruding boulder on the side of the Flying Grottoes, and asked Zhao Yun, "Is this stone famous?" ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "This is the flying stone, according to legend, when Emperor Shun toured north, came to the foot of Chang Mountain, a boulder flew from the flying grottoes and fell in front of Emperor Shun, so Emperor Shun named this spiritual stone Anwang Stone." After five years, Emperor Shun patrolled to Quyang, but was blocked by heavy snow, so he could only sacrifice to Changshan from afar, but this spiritual stone flew to Quyang again. ”
Zhao Yun's explanation made Jin Liang hear it in a fog, and after thinking about it carefully, he recalled it. This Flying Grotto. It is the first of the eighteen views of Heng Mountain, the "Cave Flying Stone". Why is Hengshan called Changshan? It was because of the need to avoid Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng during the Han Dynasty, so Hengshan was renamed "Changshan".
Jin Liang pointed to the flying stone and said with a smile: "Let's stand on that stone and look at this flying grotto." I'm sure you'll find something! ”
Zhao Yun walked on the flying stone suspiciously, and looked into the flying grotto, the group of thieves were all exposed in front of them, and the original stone walls and cliffs were all no longer blocked, there was only one problem, that is, the distance. This flying stone is a hundred steps away from the flying grotto.
Jin Liang saw Zhao Yun's doubts and saw that there was no bow behind him. Then he took a bow from a flying tiger soldier and handed it to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, let's compare archery skills again this time to see who shoots the most thieves." ”
Zhao Yun looks very simple on the surface, but he has a political vision. I have long seen that Jin Liang is a lord who attaches great importance to personal skills, and the more powerful he behaves, the more important Jin Liang is to himself, so he is unceremonious and opens his bow and arrows. And he shot into the flying grotto.
Jin Liang put the Overlord Bow aside, and there were no Xuantie arrows. Instead, he took a bullhorn bow from another Flying Tiger sergeant and attached it to an ordinary black carved arrow. To save time. He mounted five arrows each time. Five arrows fired in unison, each shooting at the five thieves. The five thieves saw the black arrow feather heading straight for them, but they didn't have time to dodge, because the arrow feather was coming so fast that before their eyes could blink, they heard the sound of an arrow feather shooting into their bodies.
Zhao Yun glanced at Jin Liang sideways and was taken aback, he could only barely achieve four shots now, and he couldn't guarantee whether he could shoot accurately, but Jin Liang could shoot five shots in a row, and each of them could hit the vital point of those bandits, Zhao Yun had to admire.
Jin Liang said with a smile while shooting arrows easily: "Zilong, you are only twenty years old, I am already twenty-seven or eighteen, when you reach my age, the archery technique will not be under me!" ”
Zhao Yun didn't have the slightest modesty, because Jin Liang's words were motivating him, he nodded, and shot his three arrows seriously.
Xia Houlan's archery skills were average, so he couldn't intervene, so he had to teleport the arrow feathers in the back, and he didn't feel anything yet, so he heard Jin Liang and Zhao Yun say in unison: "You guys go over!" ”
Xia Houlan looked up and saw that except for those few people's girls, all the other bandits were shot to death, and everyone was just an arrow, and an arrow piercing the heart was enough to kill, so he waved his hand and led the Flying Tiger Army into the Flying Grottoes, rescued those people's girls, and after moving out the things that the bandits had looted, he set a fire and incinerated the corpses of these bandits, and at the same time, Dian Wei also incinerated the bodies of more than 400 bandits in front of Zhaojia Village.
Jin Liang, Zhao Yun and others came down to the mountain, Jin Liang repaired a letter and handed it to Zhao Yun, asking him, Zhao Feng and Xiahou Lan to take all the villagers of Zhaojia Village and transfer them to Xiangyang.
Jin Liangce whipped his horse and hurried to Wuji County, Zhongshan County. Jin Liang knows, at this time Wuji County should be called Wuji County, the first year of Luyin (722 B.C.) the doctor Wu Xiao Shuai soldiers invaded Jiyi (now Yutai County, Shandong Jiting), the Hou of the Pole out of Yan, Yan is the seal of the Extreme Marquis in this place (now Wuji County), also known as this place is Jiyi, the second year of Lu Yin Gong Doctor Wu Wei led the troops to invade the north to destroy the pole, renamed Wuji, take the meaning of its extinction, Tang Wu Zetian long live Tongtian two years changed to nothing, that is, Wuji so far. Jin Liang called it Wuji, purely because he felt that Wuzi was too obscure. Zhenjiawu Fort is located in the southeast of Wuji City, backed by Wuji Mountain, south of the Hutuo River, the original steep mountain and the surging water flowing through Zhenjiabao have become beautiful and graceful, no wonder it can raise Zhen Jiang, Zhen Mi like the beautiful woman.
Because he was going to visit his mother-in-law, the necessary etiquette must be observed, so Jin Liang sent someone to pass the ceremony, and at the same time sent some gold, silver, pearls and jade into Zhenjiawu Fort first.
After Mrs. Zhang saw Jin Liang's greetings and gift lists, she was very satisfied, so she ordered the people to open the city gate and let Jin Liang and his party in, and Zhen Jiang's brother Zhen Yu and younger brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao welcomed them outside the door.
Jin Liang saw that the green qi on Zhen Yu and Zhen Boyuan's face was getting thicker and thicker, and knew that his condition was even more serious, and now he had to be supported by a slave to walk, so he said: "Boyuan, now that the divine doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji have come to Xiangyang, why don't you go to them for treatment?" ”Zhen Yu coughed lightly: "Xianting, in fact, I have looked for them, my illness is almost terminal, there is no cure, and they are helpless." ”
Jin Liang sighed and said, "I originally wanted to entrust you with a big matter. How can God do it? What can I do? ”
Zhen Yu smiled faintly and said, "Xianting." Birth, old age, sickness and death are all fate, I have long been downset, the only thing I am reluctant is that my mother is old, my younger brother and sister are very young, and everything has to rely on Xianting to take care of. Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, you two came over and met Xian Tinggong. ”
Zhen Yan smiled: "Shouldn't we change our name to brother-in-law?" ”
Jin Liang smiled and waved his hand: "Your sister has not married into my family yet." Don't call it that for the time being, let's call the table word first. ”
Zhen Yu said with a serious face: "Xianting, I know that you have a great military responsibility on your shoulders, and you have every opportunity, but your marriage with Zhen Jiang can't be delayed again and again." ”
Jin Liang nodded with some guilt: "Now that the cold winter has arrived and the war has stopped, I will choose a good day to marry Zhen Jiang." ”
Jin Liang followed behind Zhen Yu and walked to the main hall of Zhen's house, and finally saw his mother-in-law. Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang is nearly fifty years old and is from a wealthy family. It is well maintained, with the appearance of a, and I can vaguely see Zhen Jiang's shadow.
Jin Liang first made a big salute respectfully: "Jin Liang has seen Mrs. Zhang!" ”
Mrs. Zhang was dressed up, sat on the chair, looked at Jin Liang noncommittally, did not speak, just waved her hand to signal Jin Liang to get up, seeing that Jin Liang hesitated and refused to kneel down and sit down, Mrs. Zhang looked at Jin Liang coldly.
As soon as Jin Liang waved his hand, Dian Wei hurriedly brought a foldable chair and put it behind Jin Liang, and Jin Liang sat there in a big way.
Mrs. Zhang's expression was even more cold, her eyes were blazing looking at Jin Liang, looking up and down, but she did not speak. Jin Liang looked at his nose and his nose, and sat there, waiting for Mrs. Zhang to speak.
After a while, Mrs. Zhang sneered: "General Jin, you are such a big shelf!" ”
Jin Liang smiled faintly and said, "I don't know why the old lady said this?" ”
Mrs. Zhang still sneered: "I have repeatedly sent people to invite you to come over to meet you, but General Jin is too busy to come and refuse to come to meet, but this time I came over, and put on such a rude posture!" ”
Jin Liang raised his head, looked coldly at the mother-in-law who was starting to be picky, and sneered: "I think it's the old lady who can't put yourself in the right position, and the old lady thinks that I married Zhen Jiang for your ten thousand family wealth, so she treats me blankly!" ”
Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "General Jin, you ask yourself, isn't it for the sake of my family's Wanguan family property that you married my family's Zhen Jiang?" ”
Jin Liang's face became more and more cold: "This time to sweep Hedong County, I have received the full support of the Hedong Wei family and the Wenxi Pei family, and got the Hedong Salt Pond and Zhongtiao Copper Mine, you do the math, think about it, how can I be short of money, and why should I rely on your Zhen family's snort, your Zhen family's investment in my Central Army is just the icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow, so many families who depend on my Central Army, no more than you, no less than you, I am looking at Zhen Jiang's face, I will give you a chance to develop!" ”
Speaking of this, Jin Liang also said astringently: "Old lady, if you don't want this opportunity, I married Zhen Jiang and don't want you a penny, but your Zhen family doesn't want to use my Jin Liang to seek benefits!" ”
Zhen Yu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly persuaded: "Xianting, don't be angry, my mother is old and a little confused." ”
Mrs. Zhang was furious and slapped the table: "Rebel, how can you help outsiders speak and slander your mother." Although I am old, I can still see clearly that Jin Liang is not sincere to Zhen Jiang! ”
Jin Liang laughed angrily: "How can the old lady see that I am not sincere to Zhen Jiang?!" ”
Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "If you are sincere, you will divorce that wife and two concubines, and accept my Jiang'er as my wife!" If it was sincere, it should have come to Wuji immediately when the old body was summoned for the first time! ”
Jin Liang hates such strong words, nothing to do, mean and picky menopausal old women, other mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law look at their sons-in-law more and more like it, but the more they look at her, the more they hate it, and they can't find other questions, so they question whether they are sincere or not, which is really ridiculous. During this period, most of the daughters' marriages were based on economic and political reasons, who would care if there was real affection between men and women, and whether the son-in-law was sincere or not, this Mrs. Zhang was making trouble unreasonably when she said this.
What's more, Jin Liang had saved Zhen Jiang before, and was willing to hand over the banquet of the Son of Heaven to the Zhen family to deal with, and also handed over part of the renovation project to the Zhen family in Xiangyang, and was also ready to summon Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao to enter the university hall for further study, and was ready to be entrusted with an official position in the future.
Jin Liang said coldly: "I have already agreed with Zhen Jiang to make her a flat wife, and she has the same status as the other people in my family. The reason why I didn't come to visit my wife in time was because Dong Zhuo's subordinate Niu Fu had called me and I was going to Pingding, Hanoi County. I am sincere to Zhen Jiang, and I can show it every day. ”
Seeing that Jin Liang was still contradicting herself, this Mrs. Zhang became more and more resentful, her brain was hot, and she actually said: "I really don't know the old body, Jiang Er, what does she like about you, what does she want from you?" If it weren't for your good luck to save the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, a poor and humble child, An could have a high position today? ! Mu Monkey and crown, you want to look down on my Zhen family?! ”
"Mu Monkey and Crown?!" It was the first time Jin Liang had heard someone comment on himself like this, and he couldn't help laughing: "The old lady is really a good eye!" As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhen Yu hurriedly followed, coughed violently, and persuaded breathlessly: "Xianting, if you are sincere to my sister Jiang, don't hate my Zhen family because of what my mother said just now, my mother is strict by nature and pays the most attention to etiquette, Xianting, you are a little humble just now."
