Chapter 284: Buying People

Wang Shen said lightly: "Why didn't you let it go, forcibly stayed, or directly annexed?" Are you going to let someone go to war with Li Tianwang directly? Before the Mani demon thief was eliminated, our officers and soldiers spontaneously started infighting, wouldn't it make the thieves laugh to death? ”

Yan said that Meng had already figured out the reason why his lord was bent on bringing Chen Lanruo's cavalry army to Taoyuan, and seeing that Wang Shen did not directly deny this, his spirit was greatly lifted, and he said: "The military envoy used to say that a strong army is fought on the battlefield, and it cannot be raised by raising it alone, and the so-called learning war in war." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the essence of the Song Army left behind in the East Longitude, if you don't go to the battlefield for a long time, I'm afraid it will be scrapped. The south of the river is full of mountains and water, and only the north of the river has a place for General Chen Lanruo. The strength of our army is limited, and the country has fewer and fewer elites available over the years, so why talk about the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory? The military envoy was about to use troops against Xiangyang, and the cavalry army was in the right time. Before the national righteousness, any means can be used. ”

Wang Shen: "Does a gentleman do everything?" Let's talk about it. ”

Yan Yuemeng turned his head and followed Wang Shen's gaze towards the cavalry barracks.

During the march, they traveled all the way, and everyone was not so particular. The cavalry camp was only a hundred steps away from Wang Shen's small tent, and I saw that the bonfire reflected the dense fog red. Some cavalry sergeants were eating tea and chewing dry food, while others were asleep. Chen Lanruo was patrolling the camp over there with a knife on her waist, leaning down from time to time to see if the big swords on the soldiers were covered, and from time to time she said a few words to the awake people.

In the campfire, her slender figure looked extremely moving, with a kind of sassy neatness.

Yan Yuemeng's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Military envoy, please also allow your subordinates to a serious official position." ”

Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he said this: "Aren't you a praise painting in our army?" ”

Yan Yuemeng: "My subordinates want a civilian position, preferably a civil official of the rank of a county magistrate, and ask the military envoy to fill out a report for me." Women, no matter who they are, always have to find a home. General Chen Lanruo is already so old, he should also find a man. We only need to give her a satisfactory marriage, and we can make her come back to her heart. As long as the military envoy grants his subordinates this official position, I can be worthy of General Chen. The subordinates think that they are also a talent, and their family background and position are not low, and if General Chen marries me, I will not lose her. The so-called marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. In this way, wouldn't General Chen and the cavalry under her command be able to serve the military envoys? ”

"Ahh Wang Shen let out a low snort, his face full of iron. He looked at the past with a hideous expression, and said coldly: "Good plan, good idea!" ”

Next to him, a personal guard had already pulled out half of his waist knife with a sonorous sound, gritted his teeth and scolded: "The surname is Yan, don't you know the origin of the military envoy and General Chen Lanruo, but you said such heartbreaking words, looking for death?" to look like yourself, but you also deserve it? ”

"Haha!" Yan Yuemeng suddenly burst out laughing, leaning forward and backward with laughter.

Wang Shen asked in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Military Envoy...... Military envoy, you still have General Chen in your heart! Yan Yuemeng smiled better: "My subordinates tried it, but they tried." If this is the case, but it is easy to do, won't the general be fine if he accepts General Chen? Haha, Li Cheng didn't know what confusion he made this time, and he actually sent General Chen Lanruo to you, which is God's will. Heaven and if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it. ”

Only then did Wang Shen understand and smiled bitterly: "Yan Xuanzan, why do you want to play?" After General Lan Ruo came to Dingzhou, he avoided someone. This time, it was also official, and the words that were said together could not exceed ten sentences. She's ...... It's cold to my heart. ”

"Yes, it's the fault of my subordinates, and I ask the military envoy to forgive me." After Yan said that Meng made amends, he continued: "The talents and virtues of the subordinates are limited, but they think that they still have some eyes for people. In the past, when I was in Yingtianfu in Nanjing, my family was also a local noble family, and I knew about the affairs of men and women early, and I had wives and children, but unfortunately they were not in the war. In my opinion, if General Chen Lanruo no longer has a military envoy in his heart, he naturally regards the general as a passerby, and he can be generous when he has something, so why avoid it. Now she avoids the military envoy, obviously she still can't forget the military envoy. ”

"If it were other women, General Chen Lanruo was the husband of the women's middle school, and he was arrogant, even if he wanted to, he would not take the initiative to talk to the general. In that case, why not talk to her? ”

Wang Shen shook his head: "Yan Xuanzan, you have been able to praise military affairs in my curtain, and you are also clear about a certain family matter." I only have An Niang in my heart, and I ordered the court to send my family to the capital, and I don't know what to do with her relatives? In addition, there is also General Kong Xian's sister-in-law, Kong Xiaoniang, in the house, and I am already annoyed. If there are more Lan Ruo, how can it be good? ”

yes, how is it good?

When modern people talk about the ancients, they envy them for being able to have three wives and four concubines, and feel that it is a man's paradise. But when you get to the ancient world, you are stunned to find that this is actually a fart.

In fact, the ancients practiced a system of monogamy and multiple concubines. In other words, the state only legally recognizes that you have a wife, and only the son born to you and your wife has the right to inherit property and titles. As for concubines, their status is equivalent to that of slaves, and the children born to them will also be slaves for generations.

In such a situation, if you meet the woman you like, the water is 3,000 weak, and you can only take one scoop to drink. As for other higher-quality girls with family backgrounds, they won't bother you at all after they know that you are married. In the end, it still returns to monogamy.

That's right, you can take many concubines. However, according to Wang Shen's observation after crossing over to the Song Dynasty, most of the concubines of large families were born as companions, or daughters of poor families, and the quality survey was very tight, which was comparable to the concubines in the real Qing Dynasty court.

The reason is simple, nutritional conditions. Ordinary girls can't eat enough for three meals, and they work in the fields all day, so it's unreasonable not to be ugly.

Thinking of this, Wang Shen was stunned for a while. Damn Zhao Gou Zhao Laojiu, damn the weak Song Dynasty court, actually let himself send his family members to the capital as hostages. Now that he can't even give An Niang a serious name, how can he promise anything to Lan Ruo.

Isn't that a lie?

Yan said that Meng saw that Wang Shen was still hesitating, and his heart was very anxious, and said: "Military envoy, this time to exterminate Zhong and Yang Youkou, with the means of military envoys, his subordinates think that it will only be a matter of three or five days. In my opinion, Li Cheng has plotted against the military envoy and plotted against my land ambitions. It's not good in the future, and the two families are going to meet each other. There is no room for two tigers on one mountain, different positions, different courts, and no room for proper coordination. The husband must make a decision, and do things that are not happy. If you want to come to the military envoy, you don't want to meet with General Chen Lanruo on the battlefield in the future, just imagine, the white army and General Chen's cavalry army are hedged on the battlefield, what a terrible scene of the invader and the enemy. ”

Thinking of this scene, the cold hairs on Wang Shen's body stood up.

"The country and the nation are left with only the cavalry under Tabai and General Chen, no matter what, we must save some vitality for my Han family!" Yan Yuemeng begged bitterly: "Military envoy, you can't hesitate anymore!" ”

Wang Shen looked bitter and muttered, "No, no!" ”

"If the general refuses to reconnect with General Chen, his subordinates have an idea." Yan said that Meng slashed down with his right hand: "Zhong, Yang, the disease of scabies, Li Cheng's henchmen are in serious trouble." It is better to do it immediately, behead General Chen Lanruo, and incorporate the cavalry army. ”

"Ah......" Wang Shen gasped for cold air, and it was a lie to say that he was not tempted.

Yan said that Meng's discussion is indeed the simplest and most direct method.

But, but ...... Am I not a beast doing this?

Wang Shen Wang Shen, do you really want to become a hero who would rather me bear people, and don't let people bear me?

No, it can't be like this.

"Well, I'd better go to Xun Lan Ruo to explain the misunderstanding at the beginning." Wang Shen smiled bitterly, and at this time, he saw a hint of a smile flashing in Yan Yumeng's eyes. I was angry: Oops, I fell for his plan.

Although this Yan Yue Meng is not small in ambition and is enthusiastic about fame, he is loyal to himself, but it is not easy to blame him.

However, this guy has too many eyes, and it's too uncute!

Love that is not aimed at marriage is a hooligan, but in order not to meet her on the battlefield in the future, this hooligan really has to play tricks. As a successful person and a veteran of Huacong, Wang Shen does not think that it is a great challenge to get back together with Chen Lanruo.

At the moment, I convinced myself in my heart, and strode out.

Before he got to the ground, suddenly, he saw Yue Yun shaking his huge body, rumbling in front of Chen Lanruo, and throwing a big burden on the ground.

With a "bang", the burden cracked, and the silver stumps inside were scattered all over the ground, and the silver light flickered, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Chen Lanruo was looking at the bonfire in a daze, she raised her head suddenly, didn't speak, and looked at Yue Yun coldly.

"This is my savings, all for you, buy your hundred cavalry with war horses and supporting equipment."

Chen Lanruo's pupils shrank: "Not for sale." ”

Yue Yun sneered: "You gangsters, all the way from Hebei to Hunan, thousands of miles in, isn't it just for money, I'll give it to you." Why, it's too little, do you report the number? Anyway, you can't use such a good soldier to slaughter good people and oppress the people, a kitchen knife is enough. ”

The Sizhou sergeants are well treated, well-fed, and well-dressed, at least they don't have to be in shabby clothes like other Song Dynasty officers and soldiers in the cold weather. However, the salaries of the generals and officials were extremely low, and they only had some allowances during the day. If you want to make money, you have to fight on the battlefield. But Yue Yun is an exception, his father-in-law is Du Shu. When the Sizhou army moved to Huangzhou, Judge Du, under Du Chong's nod, honestly and unceremoniously got a lot of gold and silver from the treasury of Jiankang Mansion, saying that it was a dowry for Du Shu's daughter.

In this way, Yue Yun is considered a rich man in the Sizhou military system. It's just that as long as this young master has meat to eat every day, he doesn't care about money.
