Chapter 71: Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin, and Su Dingfang
At breakfast, the family ate alone in the small courtyard. Come to Hu'er and tell Mrs. SΓΉ that Rokuro will go north with Shubao. "Yi Feng offered to ask Liulang and Shubao to go north with him, and Liulang and Shubao themselves are willing to go, and I have already agreed."
"Didn't the husband say that there was about to be a war in Liaodong?" Mrs. Lai gave her two youngest sons, Lai Ji Laiheng, a piece of ham and put it in their porridge bowls, and the two little ones drank the porridge as if they were competing.
Shiro Laihong disappetized the two younger brothers and taught the two younger brothers: "The children of the nobility don't make a whirring sound when they eat, like a little pig." He broke open a piece of bread and put a piece of mutton in it.
"Sixth brother, is Liaodong fun, I'm going too!" The two little guys didn't pay attention to the fourth child at all, and said to Rokuro instead. "I heard that Liaodong is cold and snowy all year round, right?"
Rairokuro smiled at his two younger brothers and replied to his mother, "The son is well thought out, and the son has grown up and wants to build a career. Now that Yi Gongzi is invited, he feels that this is an opportunity. Besides, this time there is Shubao going north with me, so don't worry. β
The Great Sui Dynasty has the heaviest military merits, and the most expensive Guanlong group in the dynasty is from the Wuchuan military town of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although Laijia is not a member of the Guanlong Group, it is also the home of the military generals in the DPRK, Laijia is originally from Jiangnan, the foundation is not deep, Lailiulang has 12 brothers, and it will not be his turn to inherit the family business in the future. Besides, Lai Liulang is actually not the concubine born to Mrs. Lai, but just a concubine. In terms of status, it is not even as good as these two young brothers. He had to plan ahead, and Ling Yun was someone he thought was worth following.
Although Lai Liulang is not his own child, Mrs. Lai still loves Liulang very much, "Liulang, you have thought clearly." In fact, if you follow your father, in a few years, with your father's title and official position, you can recommend to the court, let you enter the government with the shadow of the door, even if it is the lowest, you can enter any of the guards in the forbidden army of the inner government. After all, this Yi Gongzi is just the illegitimate son of the King of Jin, and now the situation in Liaodong is tense, and there is a war at any time, and it is really dangerous to go to Liaodong. β
"I think Yi Saburo is worth believing, besides, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and there are wars on the frontier, so I just want to use my skills in exchange for fame, how can I avoid it."
Laihu'er held the long beard and nodded appreciatively, "Liulang said well, it is worthy of my son who came to Hu'er." Young people are like this, young and hot-blooded, and they thought that they were like this when they were fathers. If I didn't have any blood back then, how could I dare to slash the enemy. If I had been afraid of hardships and dangers back then, how could I have defected to the Sui army. Now my position as the chief manager, the duke of the county, is not all fought back in a knife and a gun battle. Since Rokuro has already thought about it, Madame doesn't need to say more. Yi Feng has been observing his father for a long time, and he feels that this person is steady, decisive, and has a wide range of contacts, and is a good person. Looking at the several governors of the Jin Dynasty's mansion around him, it can be seen that the King of Jin still values him very much. It is indeed an opportunity for you to follow Yi Feng to the north. This time Shubao will go with you, he is steady, you listen to his opinions. β
"Yes, father." Rairokuro said with a smile.
"You go and ask Shubao to come over for breakfast together, and I'll talk to him by the way." Coming to Hu'er, Rokuro hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and strode out of the yard.
In Erxian Village, a large group of guests are chatting, and some are still competing with each other. Liulang and Shubao walked through the crowd and found Lingyun in front of the small river that passed around the village at the gate of the village. Ling Yun was washing the dry and clumpy mud from the little wolf's gray wind. However, the little wolf seemed to be a little unappreciative, whimpering and twisting, and always shaking his body, splashing Ling Yun's body with water droplets.
On the side of the wolf, there was also a group of children, who were very curious about the little wolf, but they did not dare to approach, only watched from afar.
"Whose children are these?" It's a little strange to come to Rokuro.
"Everyone's children have it, and so do two of yours." Ling Yun said with a smile, Sure enough, Lai Liu saw Lai Ji and Lai Heng hiding behind in that group of children.
Ling Yun liked this group of children very much, he had already chatted with them for a while just now, and he had almost figured out their details. Two of them are Eleven Lang and Twelve Lang who came to protect the children, these two boys don't look at it now, they are still just Xiao Zhengtai, but Ling Yun is very impressed with them, because in history, these two little children will surpass their fathers in the future, and have become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the children of the military generals' family, and finally become the prime minister, which did become a good story at that time. Among the twelve sons of Laihu'er, Lailiulang was the most courageous, and then these eleven and twelve lang, who later became prime ministers. The other sons are not well-known.
In addition to these two future prime ministers, all of these children are from extraordinary backgrounds.
The oldest of them is a girl, a seven-year-old informant this year, whose name is Dou Hongxian, is Dou Jiande's daughter. Yesterday, Ling Yun had figured out that Dou Jiande looked like he was in his thirties, but in fact, his real age was only twenty-five, but he didn't expect that he already had a seven-year-old daughter. The informant is very sensible, and in this group of children, she is obviously the head of a big sister, and a group of little fart children are all the only ones who look at her. A three-year-old girl in the red line's hand is Shan Xiongxin's daughter Ailian, this guy is only seventeen, but his daughters are three years old, and he has to be admired for his precociousness. However, what amazed Ling Yun the most were the other four children, and when he came up with a few children's names just now, he couldn't believe it for a while.
Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, Luo Shixin, Su Lie!
Four little children who are still snotty and have sheep's horns have four such loud names, how can Ling Yun not be surprised.
Among the four little guys, Cheng Yanjin is the oldest, ten years old this year, followed by Su Lie is seven years old, Luo Shixin is five years old, and Xu Shiji is four years old.
The four fierce generals of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but at this time, they were all squatting behind Ling Yun, staring at the little wolf gray wind with a curious expression, where can you see that these guys will shine in the future, and they are a generation of famous generals?
He once thought that these children were just the same name as the future famous generals, but after careful inquiry, he had confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person, and these little children were the four famous generals in the future.
Xu Shiji rushed to Erxianzhuang early this morning with his son Xu Gai, Xu Gai is a native of Caozhou Lihu in the east of Huazhou, and his family is the richest man in the state like the single family. Xu Gai's family has many servants and thousands of bells, and he is also a kind and charitable person, often helping the poor, regardless of relatives. Historically, Xu Gai later relied on his son's relationship to be named the king of Jiyin by Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also named the Duke of Shu. Because he has a very good son, Xu Gai himself is not very conspicuous. However, Xu Shiji can be so good, in fact, he still has a lot to do with Xu Gai. Xu Gai, as the richest man in Caozhou, is a big landlord on the surface, but in fact, he is a secret partner of the single family in Huazhou for many years, operating the sale of stolen goods in the green forest together, and making money every day, so he can be called the richest man in Caozhou. Because of this relationship, Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin rebelled later, and Xu Shiji resolutely came to help, and there was also the later famous general Li Ji.
However, at this time, Li Ji was still called Xu Shiji, and he was just four years old.
Yi Saburo, the acting leader of the Yanshan Tiger League, arrived at Erxianzhuang, and the news quickly spread in Henan, and Caozhou, which is not far from Huazhou, received the news as soon as possible. Xu Gai and Shan Xiongxin secretly operate the green forest business, and have always had a close relationship with not only the green forest in Henan, but also the green forest in Hebei. After Ling Yun arrived at Erxianzhuang, and the news that he had temporarily become the leader of the Tiger Alliance was transmitted by Shan Xiongxin Kuaima, Xu Gai had to pay great attention to it. After receiving the news, he immediately hurried to Erxianzhuang and came overnight. The trade in the green forests in the north is bigger than that in the green forests of Henan, especially the green forest organizations such as the Tiger League, which are active on the frontier, and secretly control the smuggling routes, and the business cooperation here is very large, and it is impossible for Xu Gai not to pay attention to it.
Xu Gai still had several guests in the village at that time, and they were all business friends, so they also came over.
These friends are Cheng Lou, the governor of Jeju, that is, Cheng Bitingjin's father. The Cheng family is also a wealthy family in Jeju, the past dynasties of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Cheng Biting Jin's great-grandfather did the Northern Qi Yanzhou Sima, his grandfather did the Jinzhou Sima, his father Cheng Lou did the Northern Qi Jeju Dazhongzheng, after entering the Sui Dynasty, he was the governor of Jeju, although the official position was not obvious, but the Cheng family was not small in Jeju, and the fields were wide and wide. In history, when the Sui Dynasty was chaotic in the last years, Cheng Yanjin once organized many villagers to protect themselves. Cheng Lou and Zhai Rang are equal, they are both local snakes, they take it all in black and white, their family is strong in the local area, and they have official status, and at the same time they secretly partner with Xu Gai and others to run an underground business, which is a link in this underground interest chain. Friends similar to Cheng Lou, there is another one who came with Xu Gai this time, that is, Su Yong from Yizhou, Hebei. The Su Yong family is also a wealthy family in Yizhou, with strong local power, and is a link in the chain of interests of the single family. Su Yong is the father of Su Lie.
And Su Lie, later more in words, called Su Dingfang, a famous general who was not famous in the early Tang Dynasty, but was brilliant in the Gaozong era, a legendary general who destroyed the Three Kingdoms and captured the Three Kingdoms, and the true disciple of Li Jing, the famous marshal of the early Tang Dynasty. Historically, this general was not on the side of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, but always against the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Su Lie followed his father Su Yong to organize the township to protect the township and rebel. Su Lie went into battle at the age of fifteen, and was brave and brave, defeating Zhang Jincheng, Yang Gongqing, the leader of the Hebei rebel army, and others. Later, his father died in battle, the situation was in turmoil, and the rebellion became more and more powerful, and he had to defect to the rebel Dou Jiande. Under the command of Dou Jiande, Su Lie's appearance is outstanding, and he must be meritorious in every battle. Dou Jiande died, and he followed Liu Heimin to continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty until the final defeat of Hebei, and then returned to his hometown to study and live in seclusion. It was not until Li Shimin ascended the throne that he was re-requisitioned by the imperial court. Later, Li Jing took a fancy to him, and was ordered to train elite special warfare soldiers in Hebei, and finally led this elite army to break the Turkic tent with Li Jing. Su Dingfang's life can be described as a legend, a bit of a late bloomer, his life galloped across the battlefield for decades, attacking Jieli in the north, destroying the Turks in the west, Baekje in the east, and Tubo in the south, crisscrossing thousands of miles, "destroying the three kingdoms before and after, all capturing their masters", and the countries of the Western Regions were shocked and surrendered.
Such a legendary general, at this time, happened to come to Erxianzhuang with his father, and now he is squatting on the side no different from an ordinary child, wiping his nose while looking at the little wolf with his eyes, both wanting to step forward and touch it twice, but hesitating to step forward.
Hey, if Ling Yun wasn't a traverser, who would have believed that this little kid's future would be so dazzling?
Next to Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji and Su Lie, squatted Luo Shixin.
Five-year-old Luo Shixin.
Luo Shixin is a native of Qizhou, and he is a fellow countryman with Qin Qiong. However, he didn't know Qin Qiong at this time, and he also came with his father. Luo Shixin's father is not a partner of Xu Gai and Shan Xiongxin, at most he can only be regarded as a tail end of this chain of interests. He relied on Xu Gai's relationship to take some goods and resell them to make a little money. This time, I was visiting Xu Gai in Xujiazhuang, and I also came with him.
Eight children, who would have thought that there would be two prime ministers in the future, four generals, and a daughter of an emperor and a daughter of a general?
While Ling Yun dodged the water droplets shaken by the little wolf, he wondered if he should catch all these eight children?
