Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 762 Inquiry
Just as Zhang Wei was racking his brains for the fleeing people, Wang Xiaolie's wedding was approaching.Qiu Sheng prepared the gift, and after several people in the headquarters had seen it, he was about to set off.I rushed from Shizhou to Luoyang within half a month, which did not miss the wedding date.

Looking at the baskets of walnuts, red dates, etc., Jiang Min said to Zhang Jun: "Indeed, such a gift is a bit shabby. Other generals will definitely not be willing to prepare such a congratulatory gift. What a shame!"

Zhang Jun nodded: "It's really shabby. However, Xuanfu specially ordered that only local specialties be prepared, and it must not violate the law."

Jiang Min sighed.After a while, he said, "Officer Qiu, there aren't any valuable local products? It's just something that grows in these fields?"

Qiu Sheng said: "To be honest, there are only these. I have tried my best and carefully selected them. These are all excellent."

Jiang Min shook his head: "That's how it is. When you arrive in Luoyang, you must tell the people who greet you that the preparations were made according to the order of the Xuanfu Division. It's not that we didn't care."

Qiu Sheng agreed.

Zhang Jundao: "After you arrive at Hejin, cross the Yellow River from Jiangzhou via Yuanqu. You must not take a long detour. There is not much time, so don't miss the wedding date."

Qiu Sheng said yes.Said: "Of course I understand! If you go the other way, you won't be able to catch up."

Several people read the gift, but they couldn't find any faults.We had no choice but to send Qiu Sheng to the boat and watch him go west along the Lishi River, and then go south along the Yellow River.

Qiu Sheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry about Xuanfu, I will do my best!"

Wang Xiaolie stood up from behind the table, stretched his waist and said, "Let's chat, let's go to the small living room next door. Guard, bring a pot of tea."

After resting at the inn and handing in the gift slip, Qiu Sheng slept soundly.Early the next morning, he was called into the Xuan Fu Division by Wang Xiaolie's personal soldiers.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I ordered you to build this small living room just to let you sit down. You don't have to be restrained here, just sit down. In the past, when you came, you always stood up and talked. I felt embarrassed and talked instead. Not much. What I wanted to know, I found out afterwards that you didn't say anything at all."

Qiu Sheng looked around, a high chair was placed in the middle, and Wang Xiaolie was sitting there.Opposite the top chair, there are several top chairs, one of which is spread out, and it is opposite to Wang Xiaolie.There is a table in the middle of the chair, and there are teapots and teacups on it.

Although it has been less than a year since I entered Luoyang, the changes are obvious.The common people are grateful for Wang Xiaolie's kindness, and almost every family celebrates it, offering sacrifices to gods and praying for blessings.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Since the establishment of the army, I have had a difficult problem to deal with. With a small army, it is difficult to resist the surrounding forces, and there is no peace. If there are too many troops, it is difficult to manage them. There are always things that don't suit me. No The solution, first of all, is to survive. The current army expanded too fast at the beginning. To be honest, there are many things that I am not satisfied with. But now, I have no choice but to continue like this. Jiang Min grew up by my side , Many ideas, even if I don’t tell him, he can know. When I sent him to Shenshan, I didn’t expect it to develop so fast, tens of thousands of people at once. I’m afraid that it will be the same as when I built the army. , a lot of things had to be done.”

Looking up, seeing Qiu Sheng's eyes full of doubts, Wang Xiaolie said immediately: "Do you think it's easy to follow the rules? It's not easy. The rules are just the general rules for managing the army, and they are specific to each army. , there must be differences. Some officers will change according to the time and place, and are not restricted by the regulations. But some officers are not, and will try their best to make the regulations be implemented. The difference requires you to be careful experience."

Qiu Sheng looked at the pose, and knew that the opened one was for himself.It's not easy to refuse, so I just sat on it.

Qiu Sheng said: "How can there be a place for me to sit in front of Xuan Fu?"

Arriving at the small living room, Wang Xiaolie sat down on his seat.He said to Qiu Sheng, "Sit down too."

In fact, the coffee table was placed in the middle, which was requested by Wang Xiaolie.Due to different living habits, the way people in the Song Dynasty drank tea was very different from that of later generations, and tea tables were not popular in this era.Now it has been changed to drinking loose tea, which needs to be brewed, so the coffee table has become a necessary tea set.

Wang Xiaolie poured Qiu Sheng a cup of tea.Said: "I am particularly concerned about the garrison in Shizhou. It is rare for you to come to Luoyang and explain it to me in detail."

Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly: "For this kind of thing, you can do your best? To choose the right person, you have to remind from the side from time to time, and you need to check from time to time, so that you can really raise a suitable army. It's a pity that Luoyang is far away. It’s too far away, I can’t take care of it all the time, and I always feel uneasy. It’s rare for you to come to Luoyang and tell me what’s going on in the army now. Also, Zhang Jun is going to Ren Qian, what do you think?”

This section of the Yellow River is turbulent, and the boat travels very fast.After arriving at Hukou, I changed boats and arrived at Hejin County.Then turn overland, go through Jiangxian County to Yuanqu, then travel east to the economic source and cross the Yellow River south to Luoyang.

Qiu Shengdao didn't dare, and carefully held the tea in his hands, but didn't dare to drink it.

Qiu Sheng pondered for a while.He said: "There are so many things in the army. Where do we start? The army is newly formed, and the days of the humble post are not long. I really don't understand it. But according to the humble post, everyone is clear-headed and everything is clear. It’s following the rules, and it’s doing a good job.”

When Qiu Sheng arrived in Luoyang, there were only three days before Wang Xiaolie's wedding.The whole city of Luoyang was bustling with activity, and there were especially many small stalls and hawkers.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Qiu Sheng came to the official hall.

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "Everything is done according to the rules! Yes, this is very good."

Qiu Sheng nodded, but he still couldn't figure it out.Normally speaking, it is not easy for the former type of officer.We must withstand the pressure from above, formulate truly appropriate policies, and implement them.As for the latter, although Jiang Min is an example by his side, it is not easy to figure it out.

When people talk about famous generals, they tend to emphasize the former.Whether it is to cherish soldiers or oppose authority, there are more stories to tell.In fact, it is the latter that is really difficult.It is much more difficult to find a way to change the reality, but also conform to the actual situation of the army and satisfy everyone.

The stories of the past dynasties are often wonderfully written by the little people, while the big people are lacklustre.Or when writing about big figures, use imagination instead of reality, and imagination instead of history.There is no way, the author can't imagine the state of the big man, and the readers can't understand the thought of the big man.

Wang Xiaolie understood this difference, and both types of officers could accept it.It's just that the latter kind of officers will pay special attention to what they really do well.Because he knew in his heart how much effort it would take to be able to do the latter.

Seeing that Qiu Sheng didn't understand, Wang Xiaolie didn't want to talk about this issue.Asked: "Zhang Jun is under Qian's jurisdiction, what do you think?"
