Chapter 125: Yan Baihu Conferred the Head (3)
(Khan, the results are relatively dismal, so the motivation is also lacking, although the update is slower, but it takes a few months of hard work, so I am still reluctant to be a eunuch, so I decided to put it on the shelf, that is, to join VIP, to see if I can mix the cigarette money or something.) So this chapter should be the last public version of the chapter on the shelves. Although I know that it will still be very ploppy when it is put on the shelves, I will still insist on finishing it, because it is a dream of mine, so I don't want to finish it before I reach the end. So I don't shout for support.,If you like it, just keep watching.,The update is still not going to be fast.,After it's on the shelves.,There should only be one chapter a day.,But it's going to change from 2K to 4K big chapters.。 )
(The story of this book is a personal dream journey, although I think I am working hard to write, but it seems that it has not been recognized, which is the answer to the old saying, dreams are beautiful, and reality is very backbone.) I won't say anything superfluous, I will continue to work hard to finish the story, thank you!!! )
"If the lord goes in person, he will definitely be able to convince this person and add another good general to the lord." Xu Huang said happily: "This person's surname is Lu Mingdai, the word Dinggong, the family lives in the village in the north of the city, there is an old mother in the family, two wives and concubines, and three children. ”
"It turned out to be Hailing Lu Dinggong, speaking of which this person is also a celebrity in Hailing, with little integrity, familiar with scriptures and classics, weak crown as a county official, no flattery, no oppression, upright and diligent in government affairs, because of his upright nature and offended Shangguan, he was forced to leave home for refuge, but he didn't want to live here." At this time, Guo Jia took over the conversation and said: "Regarding this person's deeds, when I was investigating the old cases in Guangling counties recently, I saw some records about this person, and now General Gongming has so much respect for this person, I think this person is indeed a usable talent." ”
Compared with Guo Jia's familiar deeds of Lu Dai, Han Lie doesn't know much about Lu Dai, but Lu Dai is obviously a famous general in Jiangdong history, and he can be described as both civil and military.
"It seems that this person is indeed a virtuous person, then it is even more necessary for me to visit, now that the war is imminent, I think I will strike while the iron is hot, Gongming is now with me to visit Lu Dai's house, Fengxiao You come all the way, rest with Lao Dian first, and we will gather in the evening." Han Lie saw that it was still early in the morning, and the army would be drawn tomorrow morning, once he left Youquan, he could not determine the time for the next return, and since he knew that Lu Dai was a usable talent, he didn't want to miss it.
"The heart of the lord seeking talents, the sun and the moon can be learned, and this trip should be rewarded." Guo Jia echoed and said, he expressed his appreciation from the bottom of his heart for Han Lie's ability to visit the opposition regardless of his identity.
Yangliu Pavilion in the north of the city, most of the population of this pavilion are outsiders, but Guangling fled here, only Lu Dai's family, Xuzhou is relatively stable in these years, and there are not many people who flee.
Lu Dai's family of seven people is crammed into a small fenced courtyard with three thatched houses, although it is simple and the life is hard, but the family is very harmonious. Lu Dai married a wife when he was a teenager, and later took a small concubine, his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the concubine gave birth to a daughter.
At the beginning, Lu Dai bought this house here because he brought some coils, but because he didn't understand the way of production, he didn't buy the property, so he could only sit and eat empty, and finally the savings were spent, so he had to rely on selling some calligraphy and paintings, and the old mother's wife and concubine raised some chickens and ducks to live, and lived in poverty.
Although life is hard, Lu Dai has never forgotten his duty as a scholar, often holding the scroll in his hands, getting up in the morning to practice swords, and persevering for three years, not only is he not crushed by life, but he has a little more momentum like a mountain.
At first, the pavilion chief of Yangliu Pavilion looked down on Lu Dai, a martyred scribe, but after getting along for a long time, he found some differences in Lu Dai, so he usually helped his life, and even let his own children often follow Lu Dai's son to learn to read.
Lu Dai went to recruit today, it was really because of the sudden illness of the old mother, which was already poor for the Lu family, which was undoubtedly worse, born as a son of man, how could he watch his mother die of illness, so he hesitated, he decided to go to the recruitment, originally he planned to write only three articles and stop, but writing and writing was out of control, and finally wrote out all the famous articles in the Five Classics.
After stopping writing, Lu Dai reacted, but the incident had happened, and he had no regrets, and then naturally attracted Xu Huang's attention, and the majestic Xu Huang, with his friendly attitude, suddenly gained his favor again.
After a conversation between the two sides, Lu Dai suddenly found that the young general in front of him had extraordinary conversation and insight, and on a whim, the two sides chatted for most of the hour, if it weren't for the sick old mother in his heart, they obviously had an in-depth conversation with each other.
Lu Dai brought back 5,000 five-baht coins at once, and the difficulties at home were naturally solved at once, and his sick mother was also invited by him to come to the best Lang Zhong in the city for diagnosis and treatment, although this trip down, the expenses were as high as 500 yuan, but Lu Dai learned from Lang Zhong's mouth that his mother was weak due to long-term hunger and needed to recuperate for three months to recover, he was ashamed, and he couldn't help but secretly decide that he would definitely get ahead in the future, and he had to make some achievements for the sake of his mother and several children.
After sending Lang Zhong away, Lu Dai immediately said to his wife on the side: "Madam, there are three hundred yuan here, you and Xiao'e buy clothes together, buy two good clothes for the children, and then buy some fresh fish and mutton back, let's have a good meal at home tonight." ”
Although Mrs. Lu is from a wealthy family, she has been used to it all these years, and she will see her husband take out so much money at once, she was surprised, and said with some worry: "Husband, it's not easy for you to make money, it's really inappropriate to spend so much at once, just forget it about me and Xiao'e, just buy a few clothes for a few children, only meat, I think it's good to buy some pork, mutton and fresh fish are expensive, are we saving a little." ”
Concubine Xiao'e is a poor girl, and she also knows the situation in the family, so when she heard the eldest lady say this, she nodded her head again and again.
Lu Dai is now nearly thirty years old, and has lived with his wife for nearly ten years, although his wife did not say it explicitly, but obviously worried that his money is coming from unknown, and he is worried, Lu Dai sees it in his eyes, so he smiled and said: "Madame rest assured, these money are rewarded by General Xu in the city, this person is quite appreciative of his husband, I believe that in a few days, he will come to the door to ask for help for his husband, although our family can not live a life of brocade clothes and jade food in the future, but three meals a day, cloth and long shirts still do not have to worry." ”
"Husband, is this true?" Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Lu's face was full of worry, and she couldn't believe looking at her husband, although she had always believed that her husband was not a mediocre and ordinary person, but the poverty of the past few years still made her show a little fatigue prematurely.
"Daddy, Daddy, there's a guest coming." At this moment, the eldest daughter, who was playing in the fence yard, rushed in at a trot, and stretched out her hand to point at Han Lie and Xu Huang who were standing outside the fence.
"Husband, it seems to be an official army." Mrs. Lu raised her eyes and saw Han Lie Xu Huang at the door, behind him, with a sergeant on horseback, her face suddenly showed a trace of fear.
"It's okay, it's General Xu here." When Lu Dai saw Xu Huang's familiar face, he said with a relaxed expression: "Quick, Xiao'e go cook some tea and soup, madam, you go buy some wine and food, the guests are coming, don't slack off." ”
"Alright, alright, I'll go." When Mrs. Lu and Xiao'e heard this, they hurriedly took a step, and Lu Dai also hurried out to greet them.
"General Xu came to the humble house, and where he was sluggish, he also looked at Haihan." When Lu Dai stepped forward, he bowed slightly and saluted.
"Brother Ding, there is no need to be polite, this is my father-in-law, and the right Zhonglang general is also the leader of Guangling Taishou Han." Xu Huang gave up his hand and introduced Han Lie on the side.
"I don't know if it's Lord Han coming, it's rude." Although Lu Dai already knew Han Lie's name when Han Lie led his troops into the city, he didn't expect Han Lie to be young, especially with a handsome face, a Confucian robe, and elegant manners, he really didn't dare to imagine that this was actually a general who commanded the army.
"I learned from Brother Gongming that Brother Ding's mother was seriously ill, and I came to visit, but it was abrupt, so it's good that Dinggong is not to blame." Han Lie returned the salute and said in a calm tone.
"Lord Han is polite, please come into the house." Lu Dai suppressed the excitement in his heart, although he refused Xu Huang's request to join the office in the morning, but this was just a literati festival, not that he was really not far away, and in Xu Huang's conversation, he had already seen that Xu Huang admired him, so he was confident that Xu Huang would inevitably invite himself into the curtain afterwards.
But he never expected that only a few hours had passed, Xu Huang not only came to the door in person, but even Han Lie came to the door in person, this courtesy, he was really a little flattered, he had already inquired in the past few days, Han Lie was not only Guangling Taishou, but also the right middle lang general of the imperial court, his soldiers were strong and strong, as if he had become a warlord of the princes.
Lu Dai has taken refuge in the fist for these years, with his talent, if the deceased clan takes refuge, it is not a problem to seek food and clothing, but in recent years, the decadence of the Han family, the signs of chaos in the world have appeared, for him, the time for the husband to make contributions has obviously come, rather than taking refuge in those wealthy families to seek food and clothing, it is better to wait for the opportunity, rely on the Ming Lord, and achieve a great cause.
And Han Lie in front of him, although he can't see any ability, he is in a high position, and there is a general like Xu Huang who is both civil and military under his hands, which shows that he must be extraordinary.
After entering the house and taking a seat, Lu Dai was not ashamed of the simplicity of the residence, but always kept a smile, respectfully and rudely sat and communicated with Han Lie, and exchanged a few words with Xu Huang from time to time.
"Dinggong, tomorrow my army is about to march out of Yuhang to attack Yan Baihu, currently by the county lord Bo of the fist, plus I have appointed a new county lieutenant, even if I leave, there will be no chaos, but Haiyan is a big city, and now there is a lack of a county commander, if I recommend you to temporarily take the post of county commander, I don't know if Dinggong is willing to go?" After some conversation, Han Lie already had a preliminary understanding of Lu Dai's ability, so he threw out an olive branch.
"The lord is above, please accept the worship of his subordinates." When Lu Dai heard this, he was really stunned for a moment, he never expected that the surprise would come so quickly, he couldn't believe his ears, until Xu Huang on the side signaled, he came to his senses, hurriedly got up, and respectfully bowed down, which was regarded as officially bowing to Han Lie's tent.
"Dinggong, please get up, the burden of Haiyan County Order is not light, not only to stabilize the production after the war, but also to protect the transportation line in my rear, you go to hold my military order, please General Zhao who stayed in Haiyan, leave you 500 men and horses, let him lead the men and horses to Yuhang to meet with a certain one." Han Lie bowed slightly, and then instructed in a deep voice.
"Whoa." When Lu Dai heard this, he stood up and responded respectfully.
"In this way, I won't bother much, tonight I will invite the generals of the army to the banquet in the county government, you can come to the banquet before nightfall, now you can pack your luggage, it is best to leave for Haiyan before noon tomorrow, as for the old lady can be sent to the county government to recuperate, when she is well, it is not too late to go to Haiyan." As Han Lie got up to leave, he stroked his palm and said with concern.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will live up to my mission." Lu Dai happily responded.
When Han Lie and his entourage left Lu Dai's house, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran to Lu Dai to see him off, looked at the back of Han Lie and his entourage, and asked in surprise: "Dinggong, those people seem to be soldiers, are they okay with you?" ”
The person who came was Lu Fu, the pavilion chief of Yangliu Pavilion, who usually took care of Lu Dai's family, just now he saw a team of Han troops entering Lu Dai's house, and he was really worried about Lu Dai's family for a while, but because he was afraid, he didn't dare to approach, until Han Lie and his party left, he came up and leaned up.
"Thank you Brother Lu for your concern, the person who left just now is General Han, the right Zhonglang general personally appointed by His Majesty the Han Dynasty, and now he has appointed me as the commander of Haiyan County, if Brother Lu is willing, he can bring a few brothers tomorrow, so how about I take office?" Lu Dai remembered Lu Fu's usual care, and thought that he needed some errand runners when he took office, so he opened his mouth and sent out an invitation.
"Is this true?" Lu Fu looked at Lu Dai in surprise, and when he received an affirmative answer, he nodded again and again: "I know that Dinggong is not an ordinary person, sure enough, sure enough." Haha, I'm going to tell the elders and folks in the pavilion, so that everyone knows and knows the prestige of your Lu Dinggong. ”
Lu Fu, who was excited, laughed incoherently, ran all the way along the way to spread the news of Lu Dai's official, and faced Lu Fu, who was more excited than himself, Lu Dai could only shake his head with a wry smile and return home.
