Chapter 5 Receiving the Holy Order, he sent out on patrol, and encountered a letter from the prefect who did not obey
Besides, although he is only eighteen years old, he is superior in martial arts, invincible, and has defeated twelve masters in the triennial Dragon and Tiger Taiwan competition of the Jin people, and gave the gold medal of "the first warrior of the Jin country". His father, King Chitose of Liang, was a general of the Jin State and a minister of the Humerus, and was valued by the Jin Xi Sect and commanded the southern expedition. Due to the resistance of Yue Fei, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, he could not attack for a long time and suffered losses. Therefore, he ordered his son Wanyan Wugu to patrol various places, recruit grain and grass soldiers, network talents, and select people with strong martial arts and good fighting skills to act as the vanguard of the southern expedition against the Song Dynasty.
Although Wanyan Wugu's official character is not high, because he is the son of the king of Liang, he is quite powerful, and he is called: Little Chitose. Before leaving, his father was a saint, and was appreciated by Emperor Xizong, and he was awarded the title of General Zhaowu, although this General Zhaowu was not a real position, but he could also see the emperor's grace. At such a young age, the saint is so enviable. In addition, he was given gold armor, carved dragon sword, and the right to patrol rewards and punishments.
After receiving the holy order, Yan Wugu set off from Shangdu Ning Mansion and patrolled all the way to the south. The yamen of all states and counties, when they heard that Xiao Chitose was coming, all of them made careful preparations and did not dare to slack off. The little thousand years old was young and had not made an inch, so he had to temporarily live in the post of marching thousands of households. Due to the lack of military experience and officialdom experience, he has no strategy but acts according to his will. I just want to collect food, grass, soldiers and horses as soon as possible, select and collect strong generals and warriors, so as to serve the battlefield and share worries for my father. I even think about making meritorious contributions before the battle, and worship the prime minister. I don't know the hard work of the old Liang King, but it is to let him read people and things and sharpen his mind. rushed to kill in front of the battle, but the courage of the horseman; Good strategy and good judgment is the way to general.
Although the officials of the prefectures and counties tried their best to please Xiao Chitose, most of them came all the way to the old land of the Song Dynasty, and there were years of war, the land was poor and the people were poor, the people were not attached, the grain and grass were not collected, and the selected talents were even more sparse and pitiful. Thousands of households were furious, reproaching the state and county for laxity, and with the special decree of the Son of Heaven, he killed many officials who were ineffective, which caused panic in the state and county, and the officials were in danger. People send nicknames: "Urging thousands of households". The people of Lebanon hated it even more, and fled in despair, resulting in refugees and starvation everywhere they passed.
After a few months of patrolling, the grain and grass soldiers and horses were not sufficient, and there were not many talented generals, and there were several places that provoked popular uprisings, bandits, and public resentment boiled, and troops had to be sent to suppress it, so it was delayed for a long time. Qianhu was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, just drinking all day to relieve his boredom. It is not an easy task to supply grain and grass and military supplies, recruit soldiers and brave men, support the common people, and manage the affairs of the rear. It is necessary to make good use of the land and the people's wealth; Concise and cautious, knowing the world's lover's heart; Through the power to change, good wisdom and strategy. It is difficult to be competent. With a yellow mouth, how can he take on such a big responsibility?
On this day, Qianhu was depressed, so he called the singer to press the wine, and was drunk, and a close soldier came to report: "Jeju Governor Lei has a fast horse letter." Qianhu was full of wine, and asked casually: "Who is the Lei Governor's Mansion?" "One of the generals is from Jeju, who is familiar with the situation in Jeju and has a friendship with Lei Yujeong. Then he replied: "This Lei Governor's Mansion is not an ordinary person, the Jeju Mansion under his rule is full of silver, the people are peaceful, and he is also loyal to the imperial court. ”
When Qianhu heard this, he woke up halfway, and suddenly seemed to have a savior. Then he said impatiently: "Hurry up, see what the prefect's letter means?" The general took the letter from the soldier's hand and read it aloud: "When I heard that the Qin mission was coming, I was overjoyed to welcome it, and the long-awaited feeling was indescribable, and I have been waiting for the holy order for more than three months, and I don't know why the general has delayed it like this?" The lowly officials did not dare to speculate, but they did their best to fulfill their duties, and they had prepared 30,000 stones of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of military silver. I only pray that the general will come as soon as possible, and I can also listen to the will and receive the teachings in person. If you are fortunate enough to meet, you are willing to be under the command of the general, but there is a send, when the liver and brain are smeared, and you can serve the work of dogs and horses. ”
"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." Qianhu was familiar with the wine, and after a few shots, he said to the left and right: "In this difficult period, it is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for the society to have loyal and good talents like Lei Zhifu. If the prefect of Nalei can save me from my urgent need, I will go to the court and be rewarded. However, I don't know the Nalei Prefect, but someone will go to Jeju City for me to explore the way first, and I can also inform the Nalei Prefect to express my gratitude!"
Everyone pushed the general to go. Because he was originally from Jeju and had a relationship with the prefect, it was most appropriate for him to go. When the general saw this, he stepped forward and said, "The last general is not talented, and it is difficult to receive orders." I recommend someone who is more suitable than me. If this person goes, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! Hearing this, Qianhu was displeased and said, "The general is going to resign, who else in this military camp is more familiar with the situation in Jeju than you?" Don't you have a bumpy road and refuse to use your life? The general replied: "It's not that I want to resign, but the general doesn't know, although your deputy general Lei Xiaotian is not from Jeju, but he is the nephew of the Nalei prefect, why not let him go to Jeju in the name of the provincial relative, then everything will be worry-free!"
After hearing this, Qianhu couldn't stop laughing, raised the wine cup and drank freely, and then said to himself: "I didn't know that there was such a relationship, God really helped me!" "The left and right are happy for thousands of households, so the red flying cui dances, the singer pours wine, and the chips are staggered, and they are overjoyed. On that day, everyone was full of wine and food, and returned happy. When he woke up on the second day, Qianhu remembered what happened yesterday, so he urgently ordered Lei Xiaotian, who was outside to collect grain and catch Ding, to come back quickly, and after settling down, he ordered him to go to Jeju first.
It is only a three- or two-day trip from Jeju. That Lei Xiaotian's small furniture was placed at his uncle's Lei Yu Pavilion, and since he followed the thousands of households, he has been separated for more than a year. At this time, I thought of my own heart, got the general's order, hastily packed up one or two, brought three or two sturdy sergeants, selected good horses and fast horses, and galloped in the starry night. In less than a day and a half, we arrived at the city of Jeju. handed over the customs clearance documents, and showed the identity of the first envoy of the Qincha, and the gatekeepers did not dare to stop it when they saw that there was a Qincha seal, so Lei Tianxiao galloped straight to the Lei Mansion.
Lei Yuting didn't know that Qin had an envoy coming, and he didn't make preparations. At this time, he was working in the Yamen, and overheard the report of the guards that the first envoy had entered the city and went straight to the Lei Mansion. hurriedly prepared a sedan chair to return home, for fear that the family would not receive it well and something would go wrong. When I returned to the house, I was a little surprised to see that the house was stable as usual, and when I came to the middle hall, I didn't see the envoy of the Qincha, only the master and a few foreign soldiers drank tea and chatted. Then he asked the master: "Where is the envoy of the Qin Mission?" ”
Seeing that the prefect was confused, the master had no choice but to tell the truth. "This envoy is the nephew Lei Xiaotian who the old man thinks about for a long time, and when he sees that the old man is not there, he first goes to meet the wife and children in the family, and now he is talking with several ladies and wives and children in the backyard. After hearing this, Lei Yuting had doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my nephew has arrived on the day of laughter, and it is reasonable to talk about goodbye in detail!" Then he ordered the housekeeper to prepare delicious food and wine for Lei Xiaotian.
At the family banquet that night, everyone was reunited, and they were very happy with their words. Lei Hu and Lei Bao interrogated their brothers' military experience, and danced swords in the hall to cheer up, so happy! Lei Xiaotian also has experienced all the way, saying that thousands of households are unhappy to collect grain, grass and horses, and his uncle is really a charcoal in the snow when he prepares grain and grass and military supplies, and thousands of households are happy. Lei Yuting became more and more interested after hearing this, and chanted a poem in the hall:
Everyone persuaded the wine and banquet one after another, and the drunk song was heard several times.
can rely on the grace of heaven to hang the Beidou, and from now on in thin air.
Everyone praised Lei Zhifu for his lofty poetry, his resignation and police show, and his spirit of flying long to shallow pond and tiger to get off Pingyang. It will definitely rise to the top and be full of wealth. Nadong Guo Liang also took advantage of the wine and presented a few poems, all of which were flattering and flattering works, neither rhetorical nor new, not a problem. That night, the family banquet of Lei Mansion lasted from sunset to the third watch, and Lei Hu and Lei Leopard were so drunk that they wanted to compete in a duel at the banquet and were held down by everyone. Lei Yuting was also strong enough to drink, and was taken back to the inner room by the fourth lady to rest. A cadre of drunken people is crooked, and there is no decency at all.
On the second day, Lei Xiaotian stayed at home for a day and came to visit many friends. The Lei Yu Pavilion was also busy discussing countermeasures with the master and arranging for the reception of thousands of households to inspect. On the morning of the third day, Lei Xiaotian quit his uncle and led the original team back to resume his life. When he was leaving, Lei Yuting settled down, and told him to meet thousands of households, and he said good words, and he must be able to hold this rich and noble door, and only hope that Qin will come and realize his dream of climbing the dragon and the phoenix as soon as possible! Lei Xiaotian remembered his uncle's entrustment, promised them one by one, and said that there would never be any mistakes. So the official sent the way and hurried away!
