Chapter 132: Colleagues and Banquets

Dai Jingbin introduced Liu Yan one by one to the military attaches of the Thousand Households City, the hundred households Tian Huixu, they are almost fifty years old, but they are the secretary of the Thousand Households City, in charge of the camp drills, army inspections, and patrol things in the Thousand Households City of Xiahe Village.

I saw him rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said to Liu Yanshi: "Xiaguan Tian Huixu to meet the adult, the adult is so young and promising, and the future will definitely be immeasurable." ”

Next is the hundred households of Chi Xu, leading a thousand households of the city of a hundred total soldiers of more than 100 people, Chi Xu is about forty, the person is thin, but his eyes are shining shrewdly, it seems that he is a slippery person with a city. He looked at Liu Yan carefully, and Liu Yan's youth was also beyond his expectations.

Then there was Baihu Huang Wenxian, who was in his thirties, but he was extremely obese, he saw Liu Yan looking at Liu Yan, and nodded busily and said: "Xiaguan Huang Wenxian, I have seen the defense lord, and I have heard of the prestige of the defense lord for a long time. Seeing it today is really a blessing for three lives. Adults are mighty, and meeting is more famous! ”

Liu Yan nodded at him with a smile, and next was Wang Yichuan, the magistrate of Qianhu City, who was nearly forty years old. His face shone with an unhealthy yellow. He looked at Liu Yan carefully for a long time. Dai Jingbin introduced him, he came forward to salute Liu Yan, Liu Yan's first feeling was that this was a relatively cold person.

Finally, it was Zhang Xueyi, Liu Yan said a few words to him, a typical old fritter in officialdom, people say that officials are as smooth as oil, maybe they refer to this kind of person.

In front of him was a high-ranking official among the military attachés of Xiahezhai Thousand Households, to be honest, Liu Yan was very disappointed when he looked at these subordinates. Liu Yan felt that there were no talents in the city of Qianhusuo, and the atmosphere of decay was too heavy, and the people he could use in the city of Qianhu in the future might not be as many as Wangjiazhuang.

However, the people in front of him will be his subordinates and colleagues in the future, and he can't use them now, Liu Yan smiled and greeted everyone a few words, and said something about the scene.

While everyone was greeting each other, the 1,000 and hundreds of ironclad troops behind Liu Yan were still motionless, only some horses stirred a few times from time to time, and raised their voices and snorted a few times. Looking at their solemn appearance, there was a breathtaking momentum exuded from their bodies, and there seemed to be a smell of blood devouring in that momentum, which was the power that was unconsciously revealed after the bloody battle with the Qing soldiers.

This majesty made the old soldiers in Qianhu City look frightened, and the officials in front of them also had a feeling of palpitations, and everyone was secretly frightened by Liu Yan's strength.

Under the command of Lord Zhang Hailin, the former defender of Qianhu City, there were no such strong family members, and there were only more than 100 family members under the command of Lord Zhang. There are more than 1,000 people in Liu Yan's family in front of him, I really don't know how he trained it, it is precisely because of such a strong family that Liu Yan can make so many military exploits and be promoted to the high position of defensive officer.

At this time, there were many onlookers on both sides of the city gate, pointing at those ironclad soldiers, and the exclamations sounded from time to time, Dai Jingbin said with a smile: "The adults have worked hard from afar, and the lower officials have prepared a banquet for the adults in the drum tower, and the adults will enter the city." ”

Tian Huixu, the official of the hundred households, also said: "Yes, yes, enter the city, please enter the city." ”

Seeing that Tian Huixu was rubbing his two big bubble eyes, seeing that he didn't seem to be awake, Liu Yan suspected what he was doing last night.

Then Liu Yan led his troops into the city, surrounded by the army and Dai Jingbin and other military attachés, Liu Yan rode through the Nanguanbao City, Liu Yan led the army from the Ying'en Gate into the city of Qianhu, after passing the political and educational workshop, it was the south street of the city of Qianhu in Xiahezhai.

This south street is the prosperity of the thousand households in front of Xiahe Village, only to see the two sides of the street paved with bluestone slabs, densely packed with wine shops and teahouses, even if the scale is far less than the Lingshan Acropolis, but the city of thousands of households is also quite large-scale, the red men and green women on the street are sandwiched with many ragged military households, as well as beggars and homeless people everywhere, all kinds of accents are endless, this is the city of thousands of households in Xiahe Village.

When Liu Yan led the army into the city, the streets were full of onlookers, looking at these rolling ironclad armies, the streets and streets seemed to be out of sight, and the voices of fear and exclamation were not broken. Everyone was pointing and talking, with a hint of fear in their eyes and a hint of curiosity in their conversations.

Someone said: "Look, that's the new defender Lord Liu, Lord Liu looks so young, it doesn't seem to be thirty years old, tsk, it's really young and promising." ”

One person said: "I heard that this Lord Liu is extremely brave, leading the army to behead more than 130 levels, and even Lord Yan, the governor of Shandong, is full of praise for him." ”

It's another piece of envy, everyone is sighing at Liu Yan's good luck, why doesn't Lord Futai come to appreciate himself?

Someone else said: "No, how did I hear that Lord Liu was beheaded by more than 200 people?" ”

Another said: "Nonsense! Lord Liu was clearly beheaded at more than 800 levels. ”

In this way, the group of people quarreled with themselves, and then someone said loudly: "It's good that Lord Liu is here, his soldiers and horses are so strong, and he has beaten the Tartars and fled." With his old man sitting in the city of thousands of households, everyone will feel at ease. ”

A voice echoed: "What this little brother said is extremely true. ”

Let's talk about Liu Yan leading these thousands of ironclad elite soldiers into the city, although these soldiers all look fierce and give them a sense of fear, but having such strong soldiers also enhances the sense of security of the people, as long as these troops are not too greedy, do not go too far, and can protect their safety when the people of the city are in need, then these simple people will be satisfied.

Sometimes the demands of ordinary people are so simple, so simple that people can't believe it, but it is true.

At this time, hearing the surrounding discussions, the soldiers of the various posts in Wangjiazhuang who were marching held their heads high, trying their best to make themselves look majestic and high-spirited, even Wang Yue put away the flattery on his face, and became serious, he sat on the war horse without squinting, did not understand his temperament, and thought that he was a calm young man.

The people behind Liu Yan were also silently riding their horses, Liu Yance immediately looked at the city of Qianhu in front of him with some emotion, once upon a time, he looked at this city, and he had to look up to the attitude, but now he has become the master of this city.

Dai Jingbin was fortunate to walk side by side with Liu Yan, listening to the discussion on the street, Dai Jingbin sighed: "The adult beheaded more than one hundred and thirty levels, this matter has spread, even ordinary people know about it. Under the tiger power of the adults, those slaves and thieves fled in despair, and now there are adults leading their troops to sit in the city of Qianhusuo, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are much more at ease. ”33

Liu Yan glanced at Dai Jingbin and said with a light smile: "Old Dai, you are very good at talking." ”

Liu Yan naturally changed his name for Dai Jingbin, and Dai Jingbin also took it for granted. I saw Dai Jingbin say in a loud voice: "This is the heartfelt words of the lower officials, the words of the heart. ”

The group soon came to the intersection of South Street and East Street, and there was a big market square at the intersection of the street, which was the "Cheng'en Fang" of the city of thousands of households in Xiahezhai. On the opposite side of the street, there is a drum tower that stands tall and nearly ten meters high, this is the Wenchang Pavilion of the Thousand Households City of Xiahe Village, and the situation of the Thousand Households City of Xiahe Village can be clearly seen upstairs.

Last year, when Liu Yan and a few people came to Qianhu City, Chen Xun also praised the good taste of the wine and food inside, but unfortunately he didn't go upstairs to have a drink in the end.

An official of Xiahezhai Thousand Households City set up a banquet for Liu Yan to receive the wind and wash the dust, at this street entrance. In order to welcome the new defenders, this area was cleared from early in the morning and strictly guarded by officers and soldiers.

Liu Yan turned over and dismounted, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Shen Tuo also dismounted, and then each sentry soldier had his own people from thousands of households to lead the way, and first rushed to the military camp in the city to station.

There is a military camp and a school field in the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village, but the scale is not very large. After the battle of Yaoshan Mountain Road, the troops of the Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village were greatly damaged, but at this time there were still hundreds of people stationed in the city, plus the more than 1,000 people brought by Liu Yan, the houses in the military camp and school field would definitely become very crowded.

However, there is no way to do it, so I can only wait for a while, wait until Liu Yan settles down, and then allocate some houses to settle the soldiers and horses.

"Hehe, please inside, adults!"

Liu Yan looked up at the tall drum tower, and then looked around, only to see that the street here was empty, it can be seen that Dai Jingbin and the others did their best, and cleared the people here, leaving only the two guys from Wenchang Pavilion, who were standing at the door and bowing to Liu Yan with a smile.

Since Liu Yan led his troops into the city of Qianhusuo, he saw that Dai Jingbin and others were always accompanied, and most of these people were flattering people, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel bored.

But this is also the norm at this time, and Liu Yan also warned himself in his heart: just get used to it.

Liu Yan, accompanied by Dai Jingbin and others, walked up to the drum tower, stood on the top and looked out the window to see the clip. I saw that the entire city of thousands of households came into view, and I looked at it with my eyes, and in the direction of the east, I could even faintly see the shape of the Nanhe River like a jade belt.

In front of Xiahe Village, the four fields of the city of thousands of households are flat, and only a few miles to the north are large mountainous areas such as Tiepu Mountain. On the plains on all sides, there are dense military forts. What a good place, Liu Yan said to himself. The thought of this place being under his jurisdiction from now on made his heart swell with pride.

At this time, the drum tower was already dressed up, not only there was a theater troupe playing music, but even a few delicate official prostitutes were singing a little song in Jinse Yinzheng. Sure enough, the city of thousands of households is different, this kind of charming style, where have Liu Yan and others seen it in Wangjiazhuang?

Looking at those scantily dressed official prostitutes, I saw their flattering eyes thrown over one by one, Wang Yue behind Liu Yan had already seen that his eyes were about to protrude, these sultry and comical women had too much impact on Wang Yue, after all, he was just a man in his early seventeens and thirties, with strong blood and strength, and he couldn't stand the teasing.

Wang Bo, Shen Tuo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming were also red-faced, and after touching the eyes of these women, they immediately blushed like ripe peaches, and lowered their heads and did not dare to touch their eyes.

Only Liu Yan and Chen Xun's expressions were quite ordinary, after all, the two of them were from the past. In particular, Liu Yan didn't care about this level of official prostitutes at all, and he didn't know how many scenes he had seen in later generations that were a hundred times more exposed than this, but he just glanced at these official prostitutes with a slight appreciation of art, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

But Wang Yue was still staring blankly at those official prostitutes, his eyes didn't move, and he was depressed.

Liu Yan glared at him and still didn't know, and then looked at Wang Bo and Shen Tuo, who were no better, Liu Yan couldn't help but shake his head, these people didn't marry wives, they should marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, the wine consumes people's hearts, and the gentle township is a hero's mound, a man of steel, under the wear and tear of wine, he will also become a man with turtle feet, after having a wife's room, he can calm down a few people's minds a little.

Then all the military attaches came up one after another, and everyone sat down according to the honorable etiquette, Liu Yan was naturally in the main position, Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Shen Tuo, Wang Yue and other hundreds of officials lived in the main guest position, Dai Jingbin and Tian Huixu, Chi Xu, Huang Wenxian, Wang Yichuan, Zhang Xueyi, etc. also sat at the same table, this table can be said to be the largest one here, more than a dozen people sat down, and they didn't feel crowded at all.

As for the rest of the officials, they are seated according to the size of their official positions.

Some people died, but not completely......
