Chapter Eighty-Five: Offensive and Defensive Alliance
Sun Lu was interested in Cheng Yanjin, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk: "Cheng Zhuangshi, this time you have relieved the people upside down, and your merits are immeasurable; Once again, the old man expressed his deep gratitude. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Master Sun, you are the parents of the people; Single-mindedly for the public. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make a meritorious service. ”
Sun Lu laughed and said: "Cheng Zhuangshi, Meng Haigong was killed in this battle, do you think he will make a comeback." ”
Lao Cheng nodded slightly and said: "My lord, this Meng Haigong occupies Cao and Dai Erzhou, although it is not far from our Dong'e, but it is not bordering. There is also a Dongping to the east of him; If I were him, I would definitely develop to Dongping; And not to come to Dong'a.
This time the enemy is so evil, but adults don't have to worry. In this battle, his 20,000 men and horses went to six or seven percent; It can't be the climate anymore.
Even if he comes again, I can beat him once; You'll be able to defeat him a second time! ”
Sun Lu couldn't help nodding when he heard this: "Cheng Zhuangshi, there is a big mess today, there are so many thieves, take Wang Bo as an example, there are more than 100,000 horses under his command?" We can't afford to provoke us, and we have to be cautious. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Wang Jishi and the county lieutenant Qian Kun with his eyes.
Lao Cheng laughed and said, "Master Sun, just rest assured, Zhishilang has been active all the way in Changbai." There is also a Qizhou away from us. That Qizhou is our Shandong governing place. Where is Zhang Xutuo, the chief of the arrest and robbery, stationed in the army, Wang Bo is too late to hide, where do he dare to look south.
Although this Wang Bo has more than 100,000 rabble, he is not the opponent of Zhang Xutuo. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to do everything possible to seduce Meng Haigong; Isn't it just that you want to attack Zhang Xutuo in the north and south? ”
Sun Lu couldn't help but nod; This Cheng Biting Jin seems to be a reckless man, but in fact, he has a splendid belly; The words are quite insightful, and the future is limitless. And his daughter seems to be quite fond of him, so I have to take a good look at him. That's it! This time, let's make sure that he is a county magistrate and see what kind of results he can achieve, right?
Thinking of this, Sun Lu invited Cheng Yanjin to his home to talk. Cheng Yanjin did not refuse, and took Li Jing and Xiong Kuohai to Sun Lu's mansion.
The sky slowly darkened, and Sun Lu ordered people to arrange a banquet to celebrate Cheng Yanjin and others; Because the county was sick, the county lieutenant Qian Kun accompanied Wang Gongzi and did not attend the banquet. The master family only has Sun Lu and Dong Ah Zhichong Du Wei Cui Wen.
I heard that this Cui Wen was from the Qinghe Cui family, which really surprised Lao Cheng. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were five surnames and seven wangs, and this Cui family ranked first; Later, he angered Li Shimin, an arrogant guy, and he ranked his Li family in the first place, and the queen's eldest grandson in the second place; And it is worthy of sparing no effort to suppress these noble families.
Even so, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the general, was not proud to be able to marry a woman with five surnames; It seems that the wife of his body in history is Cui's daughter; This made those founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty envious.
Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided into great chaos; After the impact of the Huangchao Uprising, these families disappeared into the long river of history.
Now the five surnames and seven wangwei are famous, and they almost control the power of the people in the world; Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to offend much, so he had to say a few words of compliment.
Cui Wen is just a peripheral branch of the Cui family, this person is naturally timid, and he is not a material to lead soldiers; was called biting Jin and complimented him a few words, and heard that he had been to the Goguryeo battlefield, and then saw his army and said majestically: "Cheng Zhuangshi, I have just taken office as the lieutenant of Zhechong Mansion, although I claim to have 1,000 people, but when the thieves came, those guys only brought out 500 soldiers to me, not like soldiers, and peasants not like peasant guys." Cheng Zhuangshi, I see that your subordinates are quite strong, and they must be able to govern the army well, can you help me train me? ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed secretly in his heart, this thousand soldiers are surnamed Cheng again! He promised to Cui Wen: "Master Cui has a life, and he doesn't dare to disobey!" In this way, tomorrow I will take out 200 trap regiments and train with these government soldiers, and ensure that these government soldiers will become elite divisions! ”
Cui Wendao: "Trapped in the group? But the warriors with axes in their hands? Lao Cheng nodded with a smile. Cui Wenyi clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" If half of my soldiers have those warriors, not three percent powerful, and the world is big, then I can't go? ”
Sun Lu had already heard the trickiness in it, he laughed and raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Okay!" Let's drink this cup together and wish the two of you a successful cooperation! I will write a letter to Lord Liu, the county guard, to ask for credit for Cheng Zhuangshi, and hope that Cheng Zhuangshi will take up the post of county governor of Dong'e County. ”
Cui Wen slapped the table and said, "Okay, Liu Fang, the guard of Jeju County, can also be said to be a disciple of our Cui family." I also wrote him a letter and asked him to take care of it on his behalf; Keep it safe! ”
Cheng Yanjin picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you so much for being an adult." I'm waiting for good news! The two also raised their glasses and said, "Good! I wish the three of us to work together to make Dong'e County prosperous. ”
When several people were drinking, Sun Sixin, the third lady in the backyard, also got a report from the maid; Cheng Biting Jin, who was recommended by himself; Sure enough, he lived up to expectations and led the team to arrive; broke Meng Haigong's thief army; Relieved the siege of Dong'a.
And his father seems to value him very much, and wants to promote him as the county governor of Dong'e County, and now he is inviting them to have a drink in the front hall. If Cheng Bingjin came to Dong'e County as a county magistrate, then he would definitely come to Dong'e County to live, wouldn't they often be able to meet?
And he became a county officer, which can be regarded as a career; The two are the right ones. Thinking of this, the third lady's face turned red; And I can't help but want to take a peek.
The third lady called her personal maid, secretly came to the front hall, slipped behind the screen, and spied on Cheng Biting Jin.
Lao Cheng is sitting in Chongbei, and he can see it right in his direction. This guy is tall and big, with a big round face, an indigo face and red eyebrows, and a pair of big sparkling eyes; It is estimated that if someone suddenly sees it at night, they will be scared to death.
Although this guy is not amazing, Miss Sun found that inadvertently, whether it was her father or Li Jing, who was talking and laughing; Everyone's topic is dominated by him, and their thoughts are all rotating with him.
"This is really an unusual guy. Although it looks a little ugly, it can also ward off evil spirits! And he is also inward-looking, otherwise how to do "the heart is more than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi wins three points." "Verses." Miss Sun San whispered to herself.
A few families are happy and a few are sad, Qian Kun and Wang Jishi returned to the mansion, and they were inevitably a little lost; The two of them scolded Meng Haigong for being stupid, and the dog couldn't help the wall.
When Qian Yong heard this, he was anxious and shouted: "Dad, how can you let that guy be the county magistrate?" If he really became a county magistrate, how could we still have a good life? ”
Qian Kun snorted coldly: "Did I say that he can be a county minister?" When there is no hero to make the shaft famous! This Cheng Yanjin actually has so many soldiers and horses? What does he want to do? This is a rebellion! I'm going to report him to Jeju Thief Commander Jang Dashuai. He colluded with Liangshan bandits, named Xiangyong, but he was actually a village thief! ”
Qian Yong's eyes rolled when he heard this: "Yes, Daddy is right!" And that Sun Lu is not bad, colluding with thieves, he should also be brought to justice together! Daddy's report is meritorious, and it is also appropriate to sit on the Dong'e County Order! ”
Qian Kun glared at him and said, "Nonsense, the county order needs to be appointed by the imperial court." Is that something we can covet? However, if Zhang Dashuai can sponsor him, his father will not have a chance. ”
That night, Cheng Yanjin said goodbye to Sun Lu and others, left Dong'e County, and returned to the barracks; The commanders of each regiment went to the Chinese military tent to inquire about the situation.
Cheng Yanjin asked everyone to sit down and said, "Everyone, our Liangshan is too small; In order to expand development, the population is indispensable for money and food. Sun County Ling has already promised to promote me as the Cheng of Dong'e County, and I will also say hello to Second Brother Qin.
After I take office as the governor of Dong'e County, our forces in Liangshan will come out and occupy all towns and villages in Dong'e County; and continue to recruit a large number of displaced people; Expand our power.
This time, I only selected 200 villagers from the trapped regiment, and I didn't move the rest of the soldiers and horses. This time, I have already agreed with Sun Xianling to use these 200 trapping regiments to help him train government soldiers; I want to hold these 1,000 soldiers firmly in my hands. ”
