Chapter 149: General Wang Xian
After leaving the Zhongmu Sword Pavilion, it was already night at this moment, the stars were like a fight, and the bright moon was like a disk. Since it was already night, they expected that there was no food or wine prepared in the house, and they were about to find a restaurant to make do with it, but the steward of the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion came in a hurry, saying that the general Wang Xian was here, and told them to go back quickly.
Immediately, everyone didn't care about eating and drinking, and followed the steward all the way to the plain king's mansion.
"Why does the division commander want to compete with Wei Liang's cub, it's not a big deal if he wins, not to mention, if he loses, this division commander ......" On the way, Xu Ying was also puzzled and asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan's face was also solemn, and he said: "Don't underestimate this sword hall, you see, in the Zhongmu Sword Pavilion alone, there are two or three hundred apprentices, I expect that Handan City is so big, there must be more than this sword hall, there are other places."
If Li Dui and Wei Biao concentrate this force, it will also be quite impressive, if we win, the reputation of their sword hall will be greatly reduced, and there will be a lot fewer civilians who go to study, not to mention, in this way, our reputation will also be played, take advantage of this we will take over the Mou Sword Pavilion and vigorously recruit apprentices, so that our strength will be greatly increased. ”
Now Li Dui's troops are powerful, and Zhao Fan and his side only have 12,500 soldiers from the right army and less than 1,000 bearded sword knights, not to mention, these more than 10,000 soldiers are still fighting against Qin in the northwest at the moment. For Handan City alone, they have too few troops at their disposal. If Li Dui's heart is ruthless and ruthless, King Huiwen will be in great danger, so he has to recruit troops as soon as possible.
And opening a sword hall and collecting apprentices is a good way.
After listening to Zhao Fan's explanation, Xu Ying also nodded, and he only now felt the urgency of the situation.
"That strict wolf, are you sure you can deal with it?" While walking, Zhao Fan said to Xu Ying behind him.
Hearing this, Xu Ying also nodded without thinking, and said confidently: "That Yan Zhiwolf does have some skills, I see that he has thick bones and broad shoulders, and at a glance, I know that he is a person who has been immersed in swordsmanship for a long time." However, although he is powerful, he can only fight a few wolves alone, when our brothers were in Xujiazhuang, they crossed the mountains and mountains, and they could tear tigers and leopards with their bare hands, which he could compare. ”
Feeling the confidence on Xu Ying's face, Zhao Fan also nodded, he also knew that Xu Ying and Xu Xiong were powerful, and the wolf of Yan was also a master of swordsmanship, but Xu Ying's strength and halberd technique were also very good, and he understood the truth of reducing ten benefits with one force, and he immediately felt a lot more relieved.
After walking for nearly a cup of tea, Zhao Fan finally saw the Pingyuan Junfu in the distance, with several tall lanterns hanging in front of the mansion, and a grand carriage parked in front of the mansion.
"Feng Jun is entertaining the general in the hall, Master Shi Shuai will follow me in."
Everyone followed the steward into the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion, and after Li Bingbing's three daughters entered the mansion, they returned to the courtyard where they lived, while Zhao Fan and Xu Ying and Xu Xiong went all the way to the hall.
The figures in the hall flickered, and from time to time there were a few hearty laughter, listening to the voice, it was the general Wang Xian's, Zhao Fan came to the door of the hall, only to see the hall staggered, a few pretty women wearing tulle and bearded skirts dancing.
Seeing Zhao Fan appear, Zhao Sheng also hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Fan...... Eh, where has Master Zhao gone, General Wang Xian has been waiting for you for a long time. Habitually, Zhao Fan almost blurted out the word Brother Fan.
This matter can't be revealed for the time being, otherwise it won't be of any benefit to them, so King Huiwen and the others didn't tell anyone anything more except for the three brothers and the three daughters of Zhao Ya'er.
Fortunately, Wang Xian didn't pay attention, and immediately Zhao Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to Li Yili, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect General Wang Xian to come, I'm really embarrassed, Fan learned about the situation in the city in Handan City in the afternoon, and I hope the general will not blame." ”
In terms of military rank, Zhao Fan is the commander of the division, but Wang Xian is the general with the highest status among the military attachés, no matter whether Wang Xian has military power in his hands or not, his status cannot be changed, so Zhao Fan is also quite respectful immediately.
"Hehe, the robes and talismans that the king ordered me to hand over to you have been ready, so I sent them over, and by the way, I also celebrated the promotion of Master Zhao today." Wang Xian finished smiling, and then handed over a piece of battle armor and runes from the side.
The armor of the division commander is naturally different from that of ordinary soldiers, and it looks a lot more majestic and atmospheric. This is made of fish-scale-like armor pieces that are interwoven by piercing groups, and the refined iron armor after making it flashes with a cold glow, and a scarlet cloak is extremely arrogant to cover and behind it, adding to its majesty.
Zhao Fan took over the armor, and he was slightly happy in his heart. And that rune, in the shape of a tiger, is cast in bronze, which is a token to prove Zhao Fan's identity, as a certificate for entering and leaving the country, checkpoints, military camps, and fortresses, and can also be used as a token to convey orders and dispatch generals.
Therefore, Fu Jie is very important to the generals, and Zhao Fan solemnly took it over.
"A small merit, what a lot of worry, but General Wang Xian, a very popular minister, but so approachable, Corporal Lixian, is really a model for my ministers of the Great Zhao Dynasty." Zhao Fan said with a smile, a pair of dark eyes with a hint of intriguing color.
Hearing this, Wang Xian laughed loudly: "Zhao Shishuai's words are a bit excessive, in the court, in terms of high status, there is Xiangguo Li Dui, on the status of noble, there is a plain feudal monarch, just Wang Xian, how can he be so praised by Zhao Shishuai, haha." ”
Wang Xian rubbed his hands together as he spoke, exhaling a white mist, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
The corners of Zhao Fan's mouth twitched slightly without a trace, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart. This Wang Xian is cautious, he first praised Li Dui, and then praised Brother Sheng, which is obviously not helping each other.
Wang Xian knows how to protect himself, but now the situation in the court is so complicated, how easy is it to protect himself, unless he can resign from the post of general and return to the field, otherwise, no matter who can stabilize the throne in the future, even if he doesn't deal with him, there is no place for him in this court.
"General Wang Xian is too modest, hehe, today he is here, let's drink bitterly, regardless of status, status, let's drink with an open mind." Zhao Fan took Wang Xian's hand and sat down.
Hearing this, Wang Xian also responded loudly: "That's right, the old man hasn't drunk freely for a long time, and today he is in the Fengjun Mansion and has a good drink." ”
Immediately, Zhao Sheng also nodded and instructed the beautiful maid to serve wine and food.
Although Wang Xian was smiling on the surface, there was a deep doubt in his heart. In terms of identity and status, Zhao Fan is the lowest here, why does it seem that he is the master, regardless of identity and status, this should not be what a division commander can say in front of the general and the feudal monarch, the most important thing is that Zhao Sheng has always been the most important person about identity and status, and there is no objection at all, faintly, it seems that Zhao Fan is still the main one.
Although there was a hint of suspicion in his heart, but with Wang Xian's surname, it was naturally impossible to ask in person, he had no opinion when he saw Zhao Sheng, and of course he would not say anything, and immediately smiled with Zhao Fan and Zhao Sheng, and toasted frequently.
Inside the hall, there was a copper furnace burning, and even though it was windy and snowy outside, it was not the slightest cold.
"Ming said that Fan is going to recruit soldiers in Handan, but for Handan City, after all, Fan has not been here for a long time, and many things are a little unfamiliar, so the general should give some advice if there is anything to pay attention to." Zhao Fan took a sip of hot wine and asked Wang Xian.
The 2,500 soldiers of the first division are not so easy to recruit, and Wang Xian, as a general, is very familiar with this kind of thing, and asking him for advice should save him a lot of trouble.
