Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 169: General Wu Yi

There is a place where the Qingqiang people live together in Hanjia County. The Qingqiang people here collect valuable belongings from the clan, pack them up, and prepare to move to Shu County under the command of the Han army who supervises them on one side.

Standing on a hill and watching all this, Yang Hong, the magistrate of Hanjia County, turned his head and glanced at Wu Yi beside him after a big stone fell in his heart. He saw that Wu Yi had a straight face and a calm expression. , there is an aura of a general who is not angry but has authority.

As expected of a man who led an army from Zhuti County to Jianning County to conquer the Soyi people, Yang Hong sighed deeply to Wu Yi in his heart.

After Wu Yi arrived in Hanjia County, Yang Hong used the habit of scholars to appraise characters and appraised Wu Yi. With his current superficial knowledge, he could tell that Wu Yi had the talent of a general. It can be used to lead an army alone to conquer local unrest on behalf of Liu Zhang. It can also be used to command troops and sit on one side to defend Liu Zhang from foreign enemies.

Just like today, his Ming Gong Liu Zhang planned to move the Qingqiang from Hanjia County to Shu County to weaken the power of the Soyi people in the south, and secondly to collect these brave Qingqiang for the use of the country. This was to kill two birds with one stone. things.

It's just that the migration of the Qingqiang is a bit difficult to implement. The Han people are attached to their homeland and will not easily migrate to other places. Although the Qingqiang belong to the Yi people, they also value their homeland very seriously and are unwilling to suddenly move to Shu County. .

Earlier, Yang Hong followed the good advice and persuaded the Qing Qiang to migrate, but the number of Qing Qiang that could be mobilized was not satisfactory. However, when Wu Yi's troops arrived, he just patrolled Hanjia County with his strong troops. He was originally unwilling to mobilize Qingqiang started to move in a hurry.

On the one hand, this is due to the strength of the troops brought by Wu Yi, but on the other hand, Wu Yi's personal ability is very good. The Qingqiang who suppressed Hanjia County did not dare to show any reluctance. These Qingqiang were afraid This angered Wu Yi and risked annihilation of the clan.

Yang Hong nodded inexplicably. He was thinking that with a figure like Wu Yi under Liu Zhang's command, and with Liu Zhang's love for the wise and the wise, Wu Yi would naturally have unlimited potential in the future.

However, Wu Yi's talent exceeded Yang Hong's expectations, which was not what surprised Yang Hong the most. What surprised Yang Hong the most was Wu Yi's identity.

To be precise, Wu Yi's sister Wu Ran is married to Liu Zhang's elder brother Liu Hao. When it comes to close relationships, Wu Yi's relationship with Liu Hao is naturally closer, and her relationship with Liu Zhang is somewhat Alienation.

When the late Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan passed away at the beginning of the year, Yang Hong, who was located in Jianwei County, originally thought that Liu Mao would take the position. After all, the elders and young ones were in order. However, after some manipulation by Yizhou civil and military officials, it was Liu Yan who finally took the position of Yizhou Shepherd. Liu Zhang.

Under this situation, Yang Hong believed that there would definitely be a estrangement between Liu Zhang and Wu Yi because of Wu Ran's status as Liu Mao's wife. Wu Yi would definitely not be reused by Liu Zhang and would only be wasted in a leisurely and idle position. years.

But the actual situation made Yang Hong sigh secretly. With Wu Yi's embarrassing status, his Ming Gong Liu Zhang was actually able to accept him and help him. He did not have the slightest suspicion of Wu Yi, even during this southern expedition. At that time, Wu Yi was able to lead an army alone. This was what surprised him. His Ming Gong Liu Zhang's magnanimity was a bit beyond ordinary people, and he might be as good as Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu.

"Wu Zhonglang General." Yang Hong handed over to Wu Yi. Wu Yi, who originally served as a school captain, gained a lot on the battlefield of this southern expedition and made great contributions. He was awarded the title of Zhonglang General, so Yang Hong called him Wu Yi was named "Wuzhong Langjiang".

"If Wu Zhonglang hadn't taken action this time and Ming Gong issued the order to relocate the Qingqiang, Hong Zhen didn't know how long it would take to complete it... The Qingqiang are also people who are attached to their homeland, and it was difficult to persuade them to move to Shu County for a while. , Although the humanistic style of Shu County is far superior to that of Hanjia County, Qingqiang is still happy to stay in Hanjia County and is unwilling to move. The front really gives me a headache and I can't sleep at night."

Wu Yi didn't show an arrogant attitude toward Yang Hong, a young talent from a wealthy family in Jianwei County, because of the difference in their identities. During this period, Yang Hong was observing him, and he was also observing Yang Hong. Observed Yang Hong’s preparations for the Qingqiang’s migration. The Qingqiang would consume food and grass along the way. The Qingqiang may not be accustomed to the soil and water, which may cause some epidemic diseases and require a large amount of medicine. These things Yang Hong early With all the arrangements in place, Wu Yi retained respect for Yang Hong.

Having a slight fondness for Yang Hong, Wu Yi returned his hand and smiled. He called Yang Hong affectionately: "Yang Jun does not have to be too modest. If Yang Jun had not prepared all the food, grass, medicine and stones early, the Qingqiang people would not be able to migrate now." How can work be so easy? In Yang Jun's words, this is the credit of Yi alone."

Wu Yi felt something in his heart and praised: "Since I went south, I have seen many young talents in Nanzhong, but few can compare with Yang Jun. With Yang Jun's talent, given time, two thousand stones can be obtained with a little effort. ."

Here Wu Yi overturned his initial view of Yang Hong. Before he arrived in Hanjia County, he thought that Yang Hong was just relying on his family background. His Ming Gong Liu Zhang might want to set up a sign to show his love. Because of his talent, he promoted Yang Hong, a young man, to serve as the magistrate of Hanjia County.

However, Wu Yi now believes that Yang Hong's appointment as the county magistrate of Hanjia County is worthy of his name. He earned it based on his own talents and was not a fluke.

"Wu Zhonglang is so complimentary. When Hong serves as the county magistrate of Hanjia County, it is already as if he has Mount Tai on his shoulders and is overwhelmed. How can he shoulder the important responsibilities of a county." Yang Hong waved his hand and declined Wu Yi's invitation to him. Too much praise.

"Hey." Wu Yi showed off the demeanor of a military general and used easy ways to get closer, and said vulgarly: "Yang Jun, why do you have to act like a woman? Although I, Wu Yi, don't have the ability to appreciate scholars, I can somewhat judge people. I can still see a little bit, whether it is good or bad, I can still see some clues... You and I are serving under Ming Gong's account, so there is no need to be too polite, and be closer... Well, you don't want to Just call me Zhonglang General and call me Brother Wu. As for me, I’m going to ask you to call you Brother Yang. If Mr. Yang doesn’t dislike me, that’s the deal.”

Faced with Wu Yi's straightforward and revealing words, Yang Hong naturally couldn't be polite anymore. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands towards Wu Yi and said, "Brother Wu."

Seeing Yang Hong's approach, Wu Yi laughed a few times, then stepped forward, held Yang Hong's hand and said, "Brother Yang's behavior can be called straightforward. Compared with men in the army, His character is no less generous."

It was very happy, very happy. Wu Yi felt extremely happy. He had made many meritorious deeds under Liu Zhang and was constantly promoted in official positions. He could show off his talents and would not let his good martial arts lie idle and gather dust. situation.Now he has made friends with Yang Hong, an outstanding person, which satisfies his desire to be handed over to the scholars. It is really a great comfort in his life.

But there is a small knot in Wu Yi's heart, and that is the situation of his sister Wu Ran. Wu Ran married a bad person like the third son Liu Mao, which made him, a brother who loves his sister, feel uncomfortable in his heart.If sister Wu Ran had married Liu Zhang, it would have been perfect, Wu Yi thought.

Chengdu, State Shepherd's Mansion.

Caiwei, Liu Zhang's personal maid, came to the residence of Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun and reported the recent news to Wu Ran, who was taking care of Liu Xun: "I heard from Chief Pang that Nanzhong has been generally calmed down, so you will be here soon." It’s time to return to Chengdu.”

"It's really a great joy." When Wu Ran heard this, he crossed his hands and covered his chest, suppressing the joy that was about to jump out of his heart, and said with joy in his words.

Wu Ran was calculating the distance from Nanzhong to Chengdu and when Liu Zhang would arrive in Chengdu. When Liu Zhang arrived, he would definitely prepare a banquet to welcome Liu Zhang. Things in the mansion were complicated and needed to be done in advance. Be prepared.

Suddenly, a look of loneliness appeared on Wu Ran's face, which was full of joy. She couldn't help but secretly laugh at herself. She was not the mistress of the Zhou Mu Mansion, but now Liu Zhang didn't have a wife, and there was no one in charge of the manor. She relied on him. In order to take care of Liu Xun, she only got the power of the head of the palace. She was so excited that she actually assumed the identity of the mistress, thinking about how to greet Liu Zhang, the husband who had returned from the expedition.

The lonely look on Wu Ran's face turned into a shy expression. She whispered in her heart, how could she have such strange thoughts in her mind, but then she thought about it. Before Liu Zhang's expedition to the south, he was also When she was playing around with Liu Xun, the smiling face seemed to appear in front of her eyes and penetrated deeply into her heart. Her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.

Caiwei looked at Wu Ran's face in front of her changing constantly. First he was happy, then lonely, and then he turned red. It looked like Wu Ran's mind was going back and forth, otherwise he wouldn't have had so many things happen. With Zhong's expression, Caiwei couldn't guess Wu Ran's thoughts or what Wu Ran was thinking.

'If we reconcile with Liu Hao, then...' A whimsical idea came to Wu Ran's mind in her reverie, but she quickly shook her head and shook the idea out of her mind. At the same time, she secretly cursed how her family could be exposed. With this idea, even if she reconciled with Liu Hao, her identity was still Liu Zhang's sister-in-law. This was like an abyss, separating her and Liu Zhang.

Wu Ran lowered her head, with a blank look on her face, deep in thought, wondering when her thoughts fell on her brother-in-law. At first, because Liu Hao didn't get the position of Yizhou Shepherd, he had great respect for her. The wife of the prime minister was so angry that Liu Mao even inflicted violence on himself several times. Only after Liu Zhang's protection did he escape from the sea of ​​misery?Later, when I was taking care of and teasing Liu Xun with Liu Zhang, I treated Liu Zhang warmly and got along for a long time. Over time, I developed a affection for him.

But such a kind of affection is really unacceptable. Wu Ran bit her lips lightly and her expression became firm. She gave up the unrealistic idea. Although Liu Zhang was a rare good man, their identities were not very similar. May come together.

As for the future, Wu Ran thought that if nothing unexpected happened, as long as Liu Hao was still alive, she would have to stay in the Prefectural Mufu and would not be able to reconcile with Liu Hao easily.If she wanted to make peace with Liu Hao, Liu Hao, who had no relationship with her for a long time, might agree.But her behavior was a slap in the face of the Prefectural Mufu, and she was ignoring Liu Zhang's face. Although Liu Zhang and Liu Hao were brothers who didn't get along, they had to behave like filial brothers in front of outsiders.If she and Liu Mao reconciled, outsiders would say that Liu Zhang took up the post of Yizhou Shepherd, but failed to take good care of his brother Liu Mao, allowing her, an outsider, to humiliate Liu Mao.

In addition, Wu Ran had scruples and weaknesses. The children of the Wu family, Wu Yi and Wu Ban, all served under Liu Zhang. She could not do things based on her own preferences, but had to consider everything carefully.

At this time, a maid came in after asking for instructions, interrupting Wu Ran's meditation. Wu Ran woke up from her meditation and asked, "What's going on outside?"

"It's the Third Young Master. He wants to see Madam." This maid knew that reporting this news would cause Wu Ran to be unhappy, so after she quickly said this sentence, she immediately held her breath and concentrated, looking at her nose, nose, and mouth. Guan Xin, like a clay and wood sculpture, stepped aside and stood up.

Just as the maidservant had guessed, when Wu Ran heard that Liu Hao wanted to see her, she immediately frowned and looked a little worried. She really didn't want to interact with Liu Hao.But after thinking for a moment, she still moved. After all, it would be better for a couple to meet each other.Although if she didn't want to see her, Liu Hao, who had lost power in the palace, would not be able to see her, but in order to avoid Liu Zhang being unhappy for a moment while Liu Zhang was away, it would be bad.

Not long after, Wu Ran and Liu Hao met in the courtyard.

"Madam, you are young and beautiful, even more so than before." Liu Hao smiled and praised Wu Ran in front of him with a smile, and looked up and down.

Wu Ran didn't look happy when she heard this. She said with a calm face, "What's the matter, husband? If nothing happens, I would like to take a nap for a while."

The smile in Liu Hao's eyes did not diminish, but there was a fierce look in his brows. He continued to speak, his words still attentive: "Madam, although it is October now, the autumn weather is still refreshing, and it is still a good day to go hunting. I would like to invite my wife to go out to the city together the day after tomorrow. She will go on an outing and have fun, and I will shoot some game for her to try."

Wu Yuan looked a little depressed. In the past, when she and Liu Hao had not broken up, Liu Hao valued her aristocratic appearance and was very attentive to her. Liu Hao, who liked hunting, took her with him from time to time. If it had been in the past, she would have been full of joy at that time. She agreed, but now she had no such intention of traveling with Liu Hao and others. She declined politely: "I have been feeling unwell recently, and I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with my husband."

The smile on Liu Hao's face couldn't be held back. He suppressed the anger in his chest. He still put on a smile and said pointedly: "Madam, do you know the recent rumors? The ignorant people are criticizing my younger brother... …”

Liu Hao paused abruptly in the middle of his words. After a moment, he continued: "You and I should travel together to prove to the foolish man that there is no such dirty thing, and to make Brother Zhang innocent."

Wu Ran's face turned red. She knew what Liu Mao had not finished saying. She also knew some of the recent rumors. Some people were spreading rumors that Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, was suspected of stealing his wife.

When she saw Liu Mao inviting her to travel with her, she said it was to put an end to the recent rumors that Liu Zhang had stolen his wife, and to protect Liu Zhang.Although Wu Ran knew that Liu Hao was hypocritical, and she really didn't want to travel with Liu Hao, she just thought of it for Liu Zhang. Wu Ran nodded unconsciously, agreed, and agreed to Liu Hao's invitation.
