Chapter 134: The Role of the Recruitment Order
In Han Lie's recruitment order widely distributed in Danyang Wu County, the remark that regardless of background, meritocracy, although he offended a large number of families, he also won the support of the reckless heroes at the bottom and the children of the down-and-out Han clan.
This is the so-called gain and loss, but after half a month, Han Lie was looking forward to the historical generals, but there was no one, despite this, but still recruited some civil and military talents in the opposition, Han Lie then arranged them one by one into the Jianye Diannong Governor's Mansion, after all, the newly established Diannong Governor's Mansion really needs a group of basic talents with the ability and knowledge to build together, so as to better complete the construction project of the Jianye Diannong Governor's Mansion.
After many days in Jianye, it was not until he and Guoyuan thoroughly arranged the personnel and construction matters of the Diannong Governor's Mansion that Han Lie led the Chinese army troops to Tushan Wharf, ready to board the ship and go straight to Wu County, and then return to Guangling.
In order to appease Tao Gongzu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Lan generals, half a month ago, had led the army to cross the river directly from Tushan Wharf and returned to Guangling.
The reason for Han Lie's stay is that one is the importance of building the Ye Diannong Governor's Mansion, the second is that he has expectations for the recruitment order issued, and the third is that he needs to go to Wu County and personally ask Zhang Zhao to come out of the mountain to help, and now he already knows that Zhang Hong, who has two Jiangdong Zhang, was pulled away by Sun Ce, if Zhang Zhao misses it again, then he will not only lose a right-hand man, but also make Jiangdong scholars doubt his sincerity in recruiting talents.
A team of 2,000 people, riding twenty building boats, sailed into the center of the river not long ago, the front boat suddenly came from the flag, Han Lie, who was playing chess with Xu Sheng in the cabin, received a report from his own soldiers, only to know that there were interception ships on the river.
"Immediately find out the intention of the other side, and order all ships to gather and prepare for battle." Although he didn't know who the ships that intercepted him were, on the river, Han Lie didn't dare to hold it up, after all, most of the two thousand Chinese troops he led were landlubbers, and once a war broke out in the waters, the outcome was unpredictable.
"It's still far away from Hexi, so it's impossible for an enemy army to appear?" Xu Sheng overlooked the river from afar, but because there was a boat in front of him blocking his view, and the clouds and mist on the river were rising, his strength was blurred a hundred steps away, and he couldn't see the specific situation at all.
"The Yangtze River has been a water bandit since ancient times, and it is not surprising that there are water bandits who can't open their eyes." Han Lie pondered and came to the conclusion that the ship in front could not be Yuan Shu's men and horses, as Xu Sheng said, Yuan Shu's closest soldiers and horses to him were also gathered on the front line of Heqi, and it was impossible to run to the river in Jiangning to intercept him, but he didn't know anything, if such a thing happened, then there was only one possibility, that is, Danyang County Lieutenant Lu Dai betrayed himself.
In fact, Lu Dai had just given himself a briefing a few days ago, and the newspaper recounted some of his experiences and ideas after inspecting the surrounding areas of Danyang recently, hoping to set up Tuntian Port in Chungu County along the Yangtze River, which would become a lieutenant camp in the north of Danyang, with 2,000 troops, gather some displaced people to build embankments, and make Tuntian self-sufficient, and at the same time monitor the situation on the river and defend against the appearance of enemies from the north of the Yangtze River.
Secondly, Lu Dai also reported an incident, that is, Zhou Ang, who had been at home recently, went to Jiangcheng County and ordered Chen Heng to secretly recruit troops and prepare ships, and asked Han Lie how to deal with this matter.
For this reason, after thinking about it, Han Lie first agreed with Lu Dai's idea of setting up the eastern lieutenant of Danyang, and secondly, he monitored Zhou Ang and Chen Heng's conspiracy, and instructed them to let them go if they just wanted to leave, and if they plotted to rebel, they would be eliminated.
Based on the above things, Han Lie firmly believed that Lu Dai could definitely be trusted, so he didn't have the slightest suspicion about Lu Dai, but thinking of this, Han Lie couldn't help but think, could it be that it was Zhou Ang and Chen Heng who intercepted him?
Han Lie's guess was not cranky, if it was the two of them, it would obviously not be strange, you must know that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ning are only separated by Moling County, and the waters are connected, if they hide from Lu Dai and lead the crowd to intercept themselves, it is completely possible to prepare for the bottom of the kettle.
At this moment, a flag came from the front again, informing them that there were 30 ships of all sizes that had been intercepted, and most of them had gone on boats, only three ships, and the number of people was about 300 people.
When he received the report again, Han Lie's heart moved, and he said: "Order all ships, no arrows shall be released without an order, notify the front ship to ask clearly about the intention of coming to the ship, find out the identity and report it immediately." ”
The flagbearer in charge of the herald at the bow of the ship immediately conveyed Han Lie's military order, on the river, the herald mainly relied on the flag, followed by the sound of drums, and the fifteen flag speakers in Han Lie's army were transferred from the original Danyang garrison.
In the gap between the heralds, there was a sound of fighting in front of him, and when Han Lie heard the movement, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Lean on, the archers are ready." ”
When the boat approached the ship where Dian Wei was at the front, Han Lie, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw a man with a body of more than eight feet and a sturdy physique on the rough river, who was pinching Dian Wei's neck with one hand, pressing his head with the other, and pouring Dian Wei to drink water between lifting and pressing.
Not far from the river where the two of them were, there were two boats floating, and in the water area of one of them, a sergeant of his own family was paddling, trying to climb the boat on the water.
"What's going on?" Han Lie saw that Dian Wei, the former ship general, was actually dragged into the water, and in surprise, while letting Xu Sheng turn around and go to the rescue, he shouted and asked the military Sima Dao on the front ship.
"Back to the lord, General Dian saw that someone intercepted, and then stepped forward to ask, but unexpectedly provoked the big man of the ship, and asked General Dian to fight, General Dian immediately ordered someone to shake the oar, and drove the boat down the boat, but the battle was not counted, the boat rolled over, and General Dian fell into the water, and was dragged into the water by the big man, I don't want the big man to have excellent water nature, so that General Dian lost the strength to fight back......" Facing Han Lie's stern expression, the military Sima on the boat straightened up and told the situation loudly.
Hearing Jun Sima's report, Han Lie suddenly realized that these people in front of him should have no malicious intent, otherwise this general who captured him would definitely be regarded as a prisoner or coerced by the other party, instead of frolicking in the water like now.
His heart moved, and then he walked to the bow of the boat and shouted: "The strong man in the river, please raise your noble hand, a certain is the right middle general of the Han Lie, if there is any offense, Lie will personally apologize to the strong man, the person in your hand is the captain under my command, and I hope not to hurt his life." ”
"I heard that General Han Ziyang is not only a corporal of courtesy, but also a meritocracy, and a brave general, a fierce general who is not in the world, if you are really Han Ziyang, you dare to go into the water to take back your men." The strong man in the water showed his head, slightly closed his eyes and looked at Han Lie at the bow of the boat, and shouted loudly.
"Why don't you dare, if I don't change my name, I won't change my surname, it is Han Ziyang who dares to ask the strong man's surname?" When Han Lie answered, he immediately unbuttoned his robe, wearing only a pair of pants, and jumped into the river from the bow of the boat one zhang high, when his son heard the shout of a big man in the water: "I am Jiujiang Zhoutai." ”
Han Lie, who got into the water, heard in his ears that the strong man turned out to be Zhou Tai, and the stable mind that he had cultivated for many years still jumped suddenly at this moment, and the cause was Zhou Tai and his people.
In the memory of the previous life, Han Lie's fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are several characters who are particularly fond of them, counting from Shu State, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan four generals, Wei State's words are Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu Four Generals, and Wu State's words, in order, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Ding Feng four generals and Gao Shun who was killed by Cao Cao.
It can be said that if Han Lie was given the choice, he would definitely not hesitate to pull all these thirteen generals into his account and use them for his own use.
And now that Zhou Tai appeared in front of him, how could Han Lie not move, the moment he came out of the water, Han Lie, who had excellent water nature, immediately swam towards Zhou Tai quickly, and at this time, Xu Sheng, who was driving out, collided with a big man who came from the side.
Xu Sheng has followed Han Lie all these years, although his martial arts are outstanding, but he rarely has the opportunity to make a move, this will see Han Lie jump into the water, and Dian Wei was held hostage, but at this time, someone came to block his way, anxious he, under the angry shout, lifted the swing in his hand, raised his hand and slashed towards the big man of the other ship.
Xu Sheng, who originally thought that he could defeat the enemy with one move, used the swing oar in front of the horse chopping knife, but not only did he not sweep the big man on the opposite side off the boat, but instead ushered in a series of stabs from the bamboo pole in the opponent's hand.
"Hey, good guy, it's still a master." Xu Sheng's expression was shocked, a short body dodged, and the swinging oar in his hand swept up, bringing up a sharp edge, blocking the waist and slashing at the big man opposite.
"Boy, you're not bad." The big man on the boat, with a bamboo pole in his hand, stopped Xu Sheng's hand swinging at the same time, and his backhand was a stab, Xu Sheng, who was on the boat, had an unstable center of gravity under his feet, and the boat rolled over on his side, directly turning him into the waves.
"Help, help, ......" Xu Sheng, who was wrong, fell into the water, but began to sink, fluttering and shouting with teeth and claws.
"Hey, it's a landlubber." The big man on the boat laughed loudly, and when he saw that Xu Sheng was about to sink into the water, he stretched out the bamboo pole in his hand and shouted: "This lord, first accuse me, I am Jiujiang Jiang Qin, I am here to serve General Han Ziyang today, if there is any offense, please bear with me." ”
At this moment, Xu Sheng, who pretended to be fluttering in the water, did not hear Jiang Qin's shouting clearly, and when he saw the other party stretching out the bamboo pole, he went up the pole, pretending to be afraid, and when he got close to Jiang Qin, while Jiang Qin was out of guard, he pulled it suddenly, and dragged Jiang Qin into the water at once, and when the other party had no time to react, he had already clamped the other party's waist with both legs, and pressed Jiang Qin's head with both hands and pressed into the water.
"Purr, grunt......" Poor Jiang Qin, a master in the water, was careless, but he fell into Xu Sheng's trick, but was pressed by Xu Sheng like water, no matter how he struggled, but he never broke free, until Xu Sheng found that Jiang Qin's face had turned pale and his body was no longer moving, he dragged Jiang Qin, who had fallen into a semi-coma, to the surface.
Although it was the first time they met, Han Lie's friendly and humble attitude made Zhou Tai greatly appreciated, and Zhou Tai, who had a broad temperament and uprightness, led the crowd this time to come to Han Lie.
This will see that Han Lie is not only as bold as the legend, but also has a gentle temperament, without the slightest shelf of those wealthy and high-ranking officials, which makes Zhou Tai feel good, and at the same time, he also helped Dian Wei, who had drunk a stomach full of water, onto the boat, and clenched his fists and said: "General Dian, where today's disrespect, I still look at Haihan." ”
Dian Wei, who was lying on the boat, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, regained some strength, glared at Zhou Tai and shouted: "What a straight thief, you drowned Lao Tzu half to death, I want to understand the grievances in two sentences, Lao Tzu tells you, no way......"
Just when Zhou Tai frowned, Dian Wei changed his words, and said with a smile: "I admit that I am not as good as you in the water, but the husband has a grudge and can't not be revenged, let's go ashore and compete again another day, if I win, let me beat me up and get angry, and invite me to drink, if I lose, how about my old canon not mentioning today's things in the future?" ”
"Haha, okay, General Dian is really a straightforward person, there is a sentence you didn't say right, no matter who wins or loses, we should have a good drink, how about not getting drunk and not returning?" Zhou Tai was originally a person with a broad temperament, and when he listened to the second half of Dian Wei's words, he really laughed with joy.
"The two of you don't know each other, this wine should really be drunk, I see, stay in Wu County, I will be the east, how about keeping it so that you don't get drunk and don't return?" Han Lie also boarded the boat this time, stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Tai in the river, and said with a smile.
"That's the best." Dian Wei and Zhou Tai glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile hand in hand.
Just when Han Lie, Dian Wei, and Zhou Tai shook hands and made peace, they used means to capture Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng, and led a team of sergeants to drive over in a boat.
Without waiting for Xu Sheng's report, when Zhou Tai on the boat saw Jiang Qin lying motionless on the boat, his expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed down to Han Lie and pleaded guilty: "General, the person captured by this little general is my best friend Jiang Qin of the same county, Jiang Gongyi, if he offends the general, I hope that the general Haihan, if the general wants to blame, Tai is willing to accept it with him." ”
"Youping is doing this, since he is his own brother, he is a family, how can he blame him." Han Lie waved his hand disappreciatively, his eyes swept over Jiang Qin, who was lying unconscious in the walking boat in his pants, his belly was bulging, and he obviously poured a lot of water, and at the same time, he stepped forward to rescue him, and asked Xu Sheng, "You and Jiang Gongyi have a fight?" "I ......" Thinking of his disgraceful means just now, Xu Shengnen's face turned red, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and this will be under Han Lie's rescue, Jiang Qin, who spit out a few mouthfuls of water, woke up, opened his eyes, and when he saw the crowd of onlookers, he didn't have much reaction, but when he saw Xu Sheng on the side, he sat up suddenly, and said coldly: "Okay, you wolf boy, Lao Tzu sees that you don't know water, so kindly save you, you actually trick me, despicable ......" "Wen Xiang, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Jiang Qin was so angry, Han Lie couldn't help but look at Xu Sheng.
In the face of Han Lie's inquiry, Xu Sheng didn't dare to hide it, and then said the matter again in embarrassment, which he could also see that the big man in front of him was a friend rather than an enemy, and it was understandable to treat the enemy with deception, but it was unkind to treat his own people, so Xu Sheng was also quite embarrassed. "Brother Gongyi can't help it, Wen Xiang is still a child, he is indeed reckless, I apologize to you for him." After saying that, Han Lie took the initiative to bow down and sincerely apologize for Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng saw that Han Lie confessed his mistake on his behalf, and in a hurry, he also hurriedly confessed his mistake and said, "Brother Gongyi, I was wrong." "Gong Yi, this Xiao General Xu doesn't know our intentions, and you can be forgiven for missing something, so don't worry about it." After learning what happened, and seeing that Han Lie took the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize, if he held on to it again, he would really not know how to advance or retreat, so Zhou Tai also spoke out to persuade him.
Jiang Qin has always admired Zhou Tai, the two have the same temperament, they are both broad and magnificent people, seeing that Han Lie and Xu Sheng both expressed their apologies and admitted their mistakes to themselves, Zhou Tai said on the side, he was already broad, he was angry for most of the time, and Han Lie bowed his hand and said: "The general's words are serious, those who don't know are not guilty, this matter is over." "Haha, the two of you are really generous people, let's go upstairs to the boat, how about a happy conspiracy to get drunk?" Seeing that the matter was resolved, Han Lie was also in a good mood and invited the two to get on the boat.
Xu Sheng, who was following the crowd, saw that Han Lie was so serious about Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and remembered the trick he had just done, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "It's over, this time it's a misery to offend people, it seems that this jealousy is over." (To be continued.) )
