On the day of Li Chengliang's triumphant return to Guangning, most of the people in the city went out of the city to greet each other, and the scene was so big that Wang Fulin, who witnessed this scene for the first time, opened his eyes.

After all, in these years, it was the civilian officials who absolutely suppressed the military generals and absolutely led the military generals. It is not surprising that if it is replaced by the general army of other sides, it is subject to the civilian governor and governor, and even the imperial history of the district patrol, but the situation of Jiliao is very different. At the turn of Jiajing Longqing, these two towns were eroded to the extreme, and the general soldiers were either killed in battle or dismissed, or executed, and after Tan Lun became the governor of Jiliao, Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang successively became the commander-in-chief, and so far the governor has been changed to the third, but the two general positions of Jizhen and Liaozhen have not changed, and the two towns of Jiliao have also stabilized unprecedentedly.

Up to now, after Tan Lun and Liu Yingjie's two predecessors successively entered the dynasty to serve as the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, delegated power and still maintained the attitude of the two predecessors towards the two general soldiers. Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, was highly valued by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and had a very good relationship with Li Chengliang. And Li Chengliang is rich and proud with his rise to the top, but he has made friends with civil officials, and almost the entire Liao Town is applauded by him, and there are few out-of-place noises. Or, those who are out of place are either excluded or transferred out one by one by the upper peak because of the wrong momentum.

Therefore, to welcome Li Dashuai's triumph at this time, it is all congratulations, all compliments, and of course, it is not allowed to praise the saints and compliment the first assistant Zhang Juzheng to recognize and employ people.

Li Rusong, who was standing in front of him, looked back at the crowd and found that Wang Fulin and his wife and the Shen family's uncles and nephews were all here, but they didn't go to compete with civil and military officials and local gentry and wealthy businessmen in Guangning for the opportunity to show their faces in front of Li Chengliang. From time to time, he also pulled the Li family to ask for two sentences of Jurchen dialect, as for his wife Ye, he often walked around Mrs. Su's place, gossiping and asking for some things, he thought that he could understand that the Shen family's uncle and nephew were indeed traveling, but he really didn't understand what Wang Fulin was here for.

Because of this. When he saw his father Li Chengliang and entered the city with him, because there were too many people around, he didn't rashly mention this matter, but when he entered the General Military Mansion, he had to whisper. Li Rubai, who was also with him, heard the eldest brother mention such a few people, raised his eyebrows and said: "One of the uncles and nephews of the Shen family is a lifter, and the other doesn't even have a reputation, so it doesn't matter what they do." As for that Wang Fulin, it's just a little jinshi. Doesn't it mean that he is a top three in this department, but someone misinterpreted the meaning of Shoufu? My father is now the chief soldier of Liaodong, what can he do? ”

"Just by looking at the fact that he has not yet been conferred an official position, you can't think that only someone has misinterpreted the meaning of Shousuke. Just look at Wang Daokun, the squire of the Ministry of War, who is still doing a good job in the Ministry of War, and has picked up a lot of burdens for Tan Lun, to know the mind of Shoufu. Moreover, Wang Fulin has been a candidate for more than half a year, but his reputation has not decreased. On the contrary, even some people in Liaodong talked about this young jinshi. ”

Li Rusong cross-examined a few words, and was a little choked when he saw Li Rubaiden. After being silent, he spoke again, "Moreover, there are very few examples of this kind of person who does not confer official positions for the time being after entering the Shidenko, but first travels around. He's not worried, or he's really not in good health. Besides, there is a traveling Jinshi who will take Yuan's wife around, and I have personally seen the skills of the Ye family. I always felt that this person was a little unpredictable, even more so than Shen Maoxue. Father may wish to meet him. ”

Li Chengliang still remembers that the last time Wang Daokun patrolled Jiliao, because of the traitors entrenched in the 36 islands, Wang Daokun also had a disagreement with Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, Wang Daokun thought that he should directly send troops to arrest, but Zhang Xueyan thought that he should make a posture of sending troops to arrest, and then send people to appease him, promising to exempt himself from servitude, and finally he made a show on Zhang Xueyan's orders, surrendered without a fight, and recruited more than 4,000 people from the sea, as for the remaining few people, it is not to be afraid. If others might hate Zhang Xueyan because of this, Wang Daokun praised Zhang Xueyan and him after returning to Beijing, and he was deeply impressed.

Therefore, for Li Rusong's proposal, he thought about it and nodded: "Just because he is Wang Daokun's nephew, if you don't say it, I will also meet him." Lunch and dinner are inconvenient, so you bring someone to see me at night. ”

Li Rusong hurriedly responded, and although Li Rubai said that he didn't think so, his father spoke, and the eldest brother was the person their younger brothers were most afraid of besides their parents, so he could only divert the topic at the moment: "Father's victory in Wang Gao's expedition this time, although Wang Gao fled with a few cronies, it is only a matter of time before he is caught, not to mention that Wang Tai of the Hada Department has been fighting with him, and he will not let go of such an opportunity to fall into the well." My father's previous inscription book of offering prisoners and sacrifices has been uploaded, and this time it can be called the first victory of the Wanli Dynasty, and those small victories fought in other places have all been compared. ”

For such a compliment from his second son, Li Chengliang laughed, and he was indeed quite proud. The first half of his life was stumbling, and once he crossed the moat, he came and went, showing his ambitions, even if the protagonists of those small talk books, but he had such an opportunity. At this moment, after he sat down on the main seat, he asked Li Rusong about various miscellaneous matters such as the personnel of the General Military Office during his expedition, and only then did he say in a low voice in the end: "This time I am the first to lead the troops, but between Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Jiliao, I am afraid that this credit will have to be considered. ”

Li Rusong and Li Rubai knew that Li Chengliang got along well with both the Governor of Jiliao and the Governor of Liaodong, and these two also knew a lot about military strategy, but thinking about the fact that the civilian officials were fighting to the death, but they couldn't help but pout. But because of the tutors, they didn't dare to comment on anything.

When Li Chengliang said something about Liaoyang again, the brothers were about to invite their father to see their mother, but suddenly they only heard Li Chengliang speak: "By the way, this time the big victory over Wang Gao, the soldiers and civilians in Gule Village were almost slaughtered, but they also captured a group of Jurchen teenagers. Their identities have not yet been identified, I intend to tame these people and see if the other day can come in handy, you might as well pick one, such as the one who is agile and wise, stay in the General Military Mansion and see how it goes. The rest were put into the barracks for hard labor, or to build camps, or to raise horses. After Wang Gao, it is estimated that the Jurchen trouble can be put aside for a while, and Chahan'er's barbarism is the top priority. However, the thorns of the Jurchen tribes should also be brushed every three or five times, but not too quickly. If you can cultivate some deferential ones, it will come in handy in the future. ”

Li Rusong and Li Rubai, as Li Chengliang's two eldest adult sons, have already been on the battlefield before they are weak, not to mention anything else, but they understand their father's meaning is the most powerful. The two agreed in unison, and then Li Rusong mentioned his mother who returned from Tielingwei. Li Chengliang naturally respected this wife, and after changing his clothes at this time, he took the two of them to the backyard to the wife.

I just entered the courtyard gate. He saw Mrs. Su with several daughters-in-law and young sons, as well as the side room Wang who had quietly returned first. The couple haven't seen each other for half a year in a blink of an eye, although they don't rely on each other like when they just got married, but Li Chengliang's trust in his wife is as good as ever, but for his children and daughter-in-law, he just glanced at it and didn't say anything. Not even one more person was noticing. He didn't notice it, but Li Rubai had already keenly noticed that something was wrong. Immediately asked softly to the eldest brother, "Behind my mother, who is the one next to my sister-in-law?" ”

"That's what I said, Wang Fulin's wife, Ye. Looking at her helpless appearance, it is estimated that she was originally going to leave, but her mother forced her to stay. ”

Li Rusong's guess was indeed not wrong at all, Xiaobei really didn't want to come to the front when the family was reunited. But as soon as she and Wang Fulin came back, she was invited by Mrs. Su, and at this time, she actually faced Li Chengliang earlier than Wang Fulin.

She has always been convinced of Wang Fulin's judgment, even if Wang Fulin didn't mention what she had planned for the Jurchen, but since she had entrusted her before, of course she wanted to help wholeheartedly. But. She is not the kind of person who is very good at pleasing her elders, so after thinking about it, she simply did not take the initiative to get in front of Mrs. Su.

When Mrs. Su came back, she knew that she and Wang Fulin were husband and wife, and after reproaching Li Rusong that day, she placed another guest house and let her live with Wang Fulin and Bizhu. Although it is not in the backyard of the family of the General Military Mansion, it can be connected by a small door, and it is only separated by a wall from the courtyard of the Shen family's uncles, nephews and others. So, when Wang Fulin went to Shen Mao to learn how to ride and shoot in the past few days, she didn't go to the martial arts arena, but practiced martial arts alone in the courtyard. When she practiced, Mrs. Su's only daughter, Li Rumin, came over quietly a few times, and naturally saw it, and when she went back, Mrs. Su had to invite her over to ask.

Knowing her shortcomings, she simply casually said some old things in the southeast, anyway, there are many places to run and go shopping, and there are always people interested in that different style, and sure enough, after one or two times, they will be familiar. But she never expected that Li Chengliang didn't care about her when he saw her at this time, it seemed that it was very common for her to be an outsider when the family often got along.

But she soon realized that she was wrong. When Mrs. Su smiled and asked Li Rusong's wife Ma Shi to take her forward and explain her identity to Li Chengliang, she saw that the face of the Liaodong general soldier was obviously stiff, although she quickly smiled and said a few polite words, but she was obviously a little caught off guard. And she felt even more uncomfortable, and quickly took the opportunity to retreat. But before leaving, he didn't want Li Chengliang to suddenly speak: "Although Wang Shilang and I only saw it when he toured Liaodong in the first year of Wanli, he also admired his literary brilliance. After the family banquet in the evening, I would like you to bring Shiqing's virtuous nephew over for a while. ”

"The handsome invited, I will definitely tell you."

said so in his mouth, but after Xiaobei went back to report to Wang Fulin, when he talked about such an encounter, he couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "I'm wondering, does Li Dashuai not remember how many daughters and daughters-in-law he has at all?" ”

"Forget about selfishness, and if there are many people, you only pay attention to what you are familiar with, and it's not strange that you are an outsider." Wang Fulin touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "However, that lady would choose to let you see Li Dashuai at this time, this intention is a bit difficult to guess." My uncle had only met him once, and he called me a virtuous nephew to you, and his attitude was more polite than I thought. Speaking of which, thanks to the fight between Shen Yourong and Li Rusong, this was able to cross the threshold of the General Military Mansion. As long as you have the opportunity to see each other alone, leave it to me in the evening, and you will have anything to say, and it is wrong to talk nonsense to such experienced people. ”

However, Wang Fulin still underestimated Li Chengliang's temperament. When he took Xiaobei as promised at night and followed the people who led the way to the martial arts arena surrounded by torches, he saw a rider speeding across the galloping road, and arrows shot out quickly, and they were actually shooting at night. Waiting for people to jump down in front of him, it was just a series of actions in one go, as for how many targets he shot, he didn't have a good eye, he really didn't see it.

Li Chengliang, who jumped off the horse, stood in front of Wang Fulin, looked up and down for a moment, and then asked bluntly: "The virtuous nephew came to Liaozhen, is it on the orders of Lord Shoufu, or is it his own whim?" (To be continued.) )
