Chapter 41 Preparations

"Mother, we were all deceived, but it's a pity that my father sacrificed his life to protect this drawing, and it was indeed destroyed by others, in the end, it was indeed empty, the jade key was smashed by the people of the Wang family and thrown into the Qinhuai River, and the uncle has not been able to find it, the young master of the Xie family went to the Bingzhuang in the morning, and listened to the maid who said that he would not be able to come back for a while, and we lived in the Xie family, I am afraid it is not suitable." Yao Qing spoke carefully in front of his mother.

Mrs. Yao sighed and said: "Who knew that this picture turned out to be fake, since you can't find your uncle, why don't you go to the young master of the Xie family and ask him to recommend it for you, and become a protégé in their clan, so that you can have a chance to get ahead." ”

Yao Qing shook his head when he heard this and said, "Mother, we don't know Young Master Xie before, and we have been bothering people in the house for many days, and now we have to ask others to be protégés in the house, is this a bit too much." ”

Mrs. Yao was obviously a strong woman, and when she heard her son being so unproductive, she couldn't help but say, "Then what can you do?" Don't forget, your fame was recommended in the Qin State, and it is useless to put it in the Jin State, if you don't ask the Xie family for help, let alone feed me, I'm afraid that out of this Xie Mansion, even you won't be able to support yourself. ”

Yao Qing knew that he was powerless, and he was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, but now he is penniless, if he is the protégé of this Xie Mansion, he quickly shook his head and said: "Mother, we don't have a penny now, how can we be the protégé of this Xie Mansion." ”

Mrs. Yao said angrily: "It's really a dull reading of books, didn't many children outside the city be taken to the Xie Family Bingzhuang a few days ago?" The young master sent a lot of gentlemen in the house, and he has now gone to Bingzhuang, my son knows the kindness, and I will help from now on, and when I am familiar with the young master, let him see your talent, and there should be no problem to become a protégé. “

Yao Qing said "oops", patted his head and said: "I'm really confused, I think about that treasure all day long, I really don't think much about these things, my mother is really a good reminder, otherwise, I really don't know what to do, my son will go to Bingzhuang tomorrow to help."

"Hmm"

Xie Yu wants to come to Bingzhuang to live for a long time, Xie Ying is welcome, at least, he has improved his martial arts a little in the past few days, and he is still very happy, the young master's method really works, the suspension weight is stabbed at both wrists to stab the dummy, although he is not much accurate at the beginning, but he is a bull temper, and after a few days, he has grown a lot, which makes him full of joy.

Ma Wenbiao was left in the soldier's village, and under the orders of the young master, Xie Ying sent someone to relieve his military household, this man had nothing to do every day, so he fed the military horses in the village carefully, as if he had become a horseman, as long as he didn't make trouble, he would be a good man.

At this moment, Xie Ying took Ma Wenbiao and several subordinates to stand in front of the village waiting for Xie Yu's arrival, he secretly also thought, this young master is different from other sons, he likes literature and martial arts, and is approachable, so he said that the three-character scripture is hung in front of the hall, and it is often read by people, which makes him have a deeper understanding of the young master's perception.

He is illiterate, and he is lazy to read, he has a headache when he sees the words, so he doesn't learn, but he is not stupid, and his memory is good, those gentlemen take their children to recite the three-character scripture aloud every day, and he wrote it down, I heard people say, this is a shocking scholar, Zhen Da Confucian's peerless talent to learn, but also pretending to be elegant to look at the paper and recite, understand people secretly snickering, people who don't understand are sighing that this Xie family has a strong literary style, and even a military man has talent.

Xie Yu saw the crowd greeting him from afar, and Xie Ying saw a fiery red spear behind Xie Jude from afar, he had already heard that the young master had this gun, and he was blessed to see it today.

The crowd hurried forward.

"Subordinate Xie Ying greets the young master!"

"Little Ma Wenbiao has seen the young master!"

Xie Yu turned over and dismounted, this horse is in the house, fat and strong, obviously some overnutrition, it seems that there are few people in the house to ride, so he ordered someone to bring it over and take it to the soldier's village.

After seeing the salute to everyone, Xie Yu said, "Are those young people making trouble?" ”

Xie Ying said proudly: "This is Xie Mansion Bingzhuang, who is making trouble, he is tired of living." ”

"Hahahaha, okay, I'm sorry for you, the general invites you to come to the lobby for a while, Wen Biao, you come too." After Xie Yu finished speaking, Xie Ju pulled Xie Zheng and Xie Ying to follow.

Xie Yu guessed correctly, Xie Zheng lowered his head, his inferiority complex began to make trouble again, seeing that everyone looked at this kid a little strangely, he said as he walked: "This is Xie Zheng, my younger brother who just received, was bitten by Zhou Yan's dog two years ago, but his strength is not weak, and he will not lose to the general in his future achievements, I don't know if you are interested in helping me train him first?" ”

Ma Wenbiao was a little happy in his heart, the Xie family discussed the matter by themselves, and brought him, obviously they were already valued by Xie Yu, but they didn't know that this young master had no generals now, and he had a headache, so he could only see one and pull the other.

Xie Zheng was also interested, bowed his head and saluted, Xie Ying battlefield warrior, I haven't seen any terrible things, when I heard that the young master let me temporarily take this young man down, and set him up as an example, I rejoiced in my heart: "Obey your fate!" ”

Everyone entered the meeting hall, Xie Yu sat in the first place, saw everyone seated, and said a little solemnly: "General, open the skylight and say something bright, I came this time to mobilize Zhuang Zhongqu and go to Ping Bandit!" ”

Xie Ying was taken aback and said, "Ping bandit? How could the young master have such a thought? ”

Xie Ju listened to the side for a moment, so that this Lang Jiang frowned and said: "Young master, Feng Shanren is still better to take care of this matter, not to be dissuaded by his subordinates, Sima Yuanxian has always been inseparable from the Xie family, especially the last time he forcibly killed the young master in the long street, he is now recruiting troops and horses to expand, it is nothing more than guarding against the King of Chu, then again, although our family is powerful, compared with the Sima family and the Heng family, it is still slightly inferior, it is better to wait for the master to come back, we are thinking about it in the long run." ”

Xie Yu knew that what this clan said was right, it was nothing more than that he was now white, without official position, and he had already made a good statement in his heart: "General rest assured, there will be an edict in a few days for the official position, and now the army and bandits can not only earn a statement for the Xie family, but also make my road to the rank smoother, don't you want the Xie family to prosper?" ”

Xie Ying shook his head and said: "Young master, you misunderstood, if you want to say that you have the right to transfer this soldier's army, it is not a question of whether you are an official or not, but your subordinates are worried that on this battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, in case there is a mistake, how can it be good." ”

Xie Yu stood up and walked up to him with his hands on his back, squinted his eyes and said: "The world will be in chaos, Sun En, Lu Xun is in trouble in the south, the king of Chu is in the west, Sima Yuanxian is expanding again, not to mention that other forces are ready to move, although my uncle is in charge of military power, but it is nothing more than upholding the righteousness, sharing worries for the world, and sharing worries for the saints. ”

If you want to say it, this is the first step for him to step out of Jiankang City, if this step is not good, things will not be easy to do in the future, as a child of the Xie family, everyone has the desire to be reused and want to get ahead, Xie Yu is different, he is disdainful of Sima Yuanxian's actions, but also feels a deep crisis, the people in the clan are looking for mountains to cling to, in the end they still act as a blade for others, if they do not master their own army, then in the end the Jin Dynasty will fall, and the group of people who follow under Liu Yu will inevitably ascend to the throne, which will inevitably threaten the status of the Xie family, Don't say anything about the wealthy family, in the long history of which family can last for a long time, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is just a temporary glory and wealth.

Xie Ying was surprised that this young master said this, and he also knew that although this remark was disrespectful to the court and the saints, it was also for the sake of the Xie family, and he was a little apprehensive at the moment: "Young master, there is righteousness in sending troops, and it is beyond reproach, but his subordinates are afraid."

Xie Yu stood up straight and said Ling Ran: "The eldest husband was born in Si, when he is determined to calm the chaos in the world, there is an uncle to fight the chaos in the south, I sweep the bandits outside the city, why not be afraid of the danger of life, the general should not worry, who wants to take the life of the young master, but also weigh whether he has the ability." “

Xie Ying's concerns were not unreasonable, but when he saw the young master like this, he knew that the other party had made up his mind and said, "I don't know how much the young master wants to lead the troops?" ”

"Three thousand," Xie Yu turned around and said.

Xie Ying couldn't help frowning and said, "There are still more than 7,500 registered parts in the village, so it's better for the young master to bring 5,000, and it's safer!" ”

Xie Yu shook his head and said: "There are not many soldiers, but they are fine, today I will select three thousand soldiers to come out and take them out of the village for training, you can compile those eight thousand young and strong soldiers, remember, you can't make a register of them, find out credible veterans, one person with two people, step up training, if someone asks about the whereabouts of these people, you will say that they miss their hometown and leave a lot." ”

Xie Ying took a breath and said: "But there are too many of them, I'm afraid it will arouse Sima Yuanxian's suspicion, and it will be difficult for the master to come back when the time comes." ”

Xie Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't be afraid, anyone who pays attention to this matter, you have to deny it, remember, you have the strength to argue with others, you listen to me, yes, if you really can't bear it, just say that I made it, and it has nothing to do with you at all." ”

Xie Ying was silent, the young master wanted to resist the responsibility of a full eight thousand soldiers, this is a bit too child's play, since he said everything like this, what could he do? I had to bow down and say, "My subordinates know." ”

Xie Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is there a place in the village to build weapons and armor?" ”

Xie Ying nodded and said, "The smelting and forging workshop has it." ”

"Is there any iron to store?"

"Eh~ This is going to ask the steward, the subordinates are only responsible for leading the troops for training, and this aspect is not very clear."

"Okay, let someone call the steward, let's go to the smelting and forging workshop."

Xie Ying led the way in front, Ma Wenbiao and Xie Ju followed, and Xie Zheng was left in the hall.

Ma Wenbiao is getting more and more unable to understand this young master, what does he want to do? This kind of thankless thing is avoided by others, he really wants to take care of things, and he also took the Xie family's private soldiers to go, what is this for?
