After a brief review of the previous process, not only Hu Cai looked at Fazheng differently, but even Fazheng looked at Hu Cai with something different in his eyes.

Although he didn't show much before, he is a scholar after all...In this day and age, even if you say you are close to a general, most scholars still look down on soldiers, even if you are a general who leads troops in battle, There won't be much difference either.

The former Fazheng was like this. Although he was a little envious of the status of Li Le and Hu Cai, as a famous family background, he always looked down on their backgrounds.

It's just that the landlord is powerful, and he only knows how to wield knives and wield sticks, so what can he do well...

However, the facts severely woke Fazheng up.

Even Hu Cai, who he looked down upon before, who wrote the words "rude" and "impatience" on his face in every move, almost overwhelmed him in the field of military push that he is good at.

If it was not a marching deduction just now but the two sides actually led troops to fight, it is really uncertain who will win and who will win.

Chapter 37 The "Friendship" of the Fathers

"Okay, okay, you two don't flatter each other here."

"Everyone is their own person, it's meaningless to do this kind of thing."

In the end, the polite conversation between the two was interrupted by Li Le.

Li Le stepped down from the chair and walked in front of the two with a trace of surprise on his face. His eyes had changed from initial doubts to curiosity, and then from curiosity to a hint of kindness.

It can be seen that after the deduction of the two just now, Li Le has fully discovered the excellence of the young man in front of him.He didn't say that he had never seen a general like Hu Cai who was able to fool a general like Hu Cai who came down from the actual battlefield purely with his brain, but at most it was just a handful of palms.

In Lujiang County, his lord Zhang Yan counts as one, and so does the newcomer Lu Su and Lu Zijing.

Coupled with Fazhengfa Xiaozhi who just met, this is all Li Le knows.

It has to be said that whether it is in the daily training process or in the actual battle, such people can play an extremely huge role in the army.

It is precisely because of this that in Li Le's words just now, he has already used the term "one of his own people", obviously acquiescing to the fact that Fazheng is about to join their army.

……

"Hehe, what Commander Li said is also true, so I won't say much."

"Just now, Famou was fortunate enough to have learned the strength of Commander Hu. Then, let's continue while it's still early?"

He politely bowed in Li Le's direction, Fazheng is no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.

After winning a victory, Fazheng was almost certain that he had proved his role in front of the opponent, and then he just had to wait for Li Le and Hu Cai to report their existence to Zhang Yan.

The reason why he wanted to learn more about what he said to Li Le was because Fazheng wanted to make a scene.In fact, in Fazheng right now, his already excited hands tremble a little, and he even wants to find a place where no one is around and howl for a while.

As for Li Le, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, looking at Fazheng with a look of helplessness.

"This... This is unnecessary."

"My level is about the same as that of Brother Yao. Since you can defeat him without familiarizing yourself with the rules, it is estimated that there is no problem if you want to beat me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. I will jointly write a letter with Brother Yao tomorrow morning, recommending you to be the marching governor of our Lujiang Third Army Division."

"As for this friend of yours..."

Turning around to look at the silent Meng Da, Li Le was interrupted by an anxious voice before he could finish speaking.

……

"I...Zijing and I came to Lujiang together. Besides me, you also have to arrange a suitable place for Zijing..."

"I also know that such a request is a little too much, but Zijing is also from a famous family, and his own ability is not inferior to mine. You can't leave him here, or you will be the ones who suffer!"

"If it really doesn't work, I..."

……

Looking anxiously at the man in front of him, Fazheng didn't react for a while, and before Li Le finished speaking, he began to babble at him like a cannonball.

Even Meng Da gently pulled him twice beside him, but he couldn't stop him.

Opposite him, Li Le heard the words and frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but because of Fazheng's hasty temper, he didn't speak directly.

It wasn't until Meng Da coughed heavily at the side and pulled Fazheng's arm vigorously, taking advantage of Fazheng's turning around in a daze, Li Le finally found an opportunity to intervene.

"Okay, okay, don't be 'you' or 'us' here, what will happen!"

"I'll tell you what I said beforehand. After you get to the lord's door and get the position of governor of the marching army, the most taboo thing is to form a small group among them."

"Without you, and without us, it's all 'us'! Do you understand!"

"Of course we know about your little brother. It's not a mediocrity to come here with you. It's just that if you say something like just now, it's enough for you to say it once. Don't mention it in front of the lord!"

"My lord, what he hates the most, and what he dislikes the most is that the civil servants and military generals under his command form cliques and seek mutual benefits. Didn't you see that my elder brother is still the commander of the Lujiang Army and Horse Division? There are more than [-] elite soldiers under him. To avoid suspicion, Brother Yao and I came out alone to lead the army, and we couldn't even find a qualified staff officer?"

"His name is Meng Da, right? We know it. When we write to the lord, we will truthfully tell him all these things. As for the specific position, the lord will have to do it himself." It's not something we military officers can meddle in if we make a decision."

……

"Remember, even if you enter the Lujiang Military Division, you are just a member of the military system, you just need to do your own job well, and don't get involved in some personnel transfer matters! "

"As for us, we can only guarantee that your little brother will not be easily abandoned. As for where it will be arranged, we don't know."

"The current Lujiang River is developing rapidly, and there is a shortage of people in many places. Presumably, according to the attitude of the lord towards the family, he should not refuse the help of a capable scholar."

After persuading Fazheng earnestly, Li Le hit the other party first, then turned his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly gave Fazheng a guarantee so that he could relax.

As for Meng Da...

Although the statement is very anxious, Meng Da actually doesn't care too much about this matter.

Neither Li Le nor Hu Cai knew about it. In fact, Meng Da knew Zhang Yan... It can't be said that he knew each other. To be precise, the two families had a certain relationship.

Meng Da's father was named Meng Tuo Meng Bolang, who once served as the highest position as the governor of Liangzhou, and was considered a very famous wealthy family in Fufeng area.

It's just that neither Meng Da nor Meng Da's father, Meng Tuo, seldom mention this in front of outsiders.On the one hand, it was because the father and son had similar personalities, and they didn't like to show off too much. On the other hand, Meng Tuo's official position was not correct. They were worried that if they were too flamboyant, they might be hated by outsiders, and even Maybe it's revenge.

That's right, what even Fazheng didn't know was that Meng Tuo's official position was actually bestowed by Zhang Yan's adoptive father, Zhang Rang.Although this official position was soon taken back, even now, Meng Tuo would still offer various offerings and "ice charcoal respect" in a very sensible way every year and festival to curry favor with Zhang Rang.

As for why the two families knew each other... this actually has to start when Meng Tuo was young.

……

Back then, when Meng Tuo was young, he tried every means to please Zhang Yan's adoptive father Zhang Rang because he was chasing fame and fortune, but who was Zhang Rang?That's the top class in front of the emperor, so how could he, Meng Tuo, a frustrated scholar, just lick it?

After Meng Tuo dissipated all his family wealth, he failed to meet Zhang Rang, but it was a blessing in disguise. Because of his generosity, he got acquainted with a "slave" in Zhang Rang's house at that time. All the servants under Jiannu's hands are on good terms.

At that time, it was the peak period of selling officials and nobles in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. Generally, as long as money was spent on the Zhang family, no matter how big or small the official position, the spender would always gain something.

At that time, the prison slaves felt a little guilty when they saw that Meng Tuo had lost all their wealth, so they asked him with a group of servants if there was anything they could do for him.

look!It's just a slave leader in the eunuch's mansion, who knows that he has to do things after taking the money. This kind of pattern is better than those so-called celebrities from aristocratic families who eat the family and eat the family.

……

Not to mention these digressions, after the prison slave expressed to Meng Tuo that he wanted something in return, Meng Tuo didn't know why, he didn't directly ask for rights or status, but made a promise to the prison slave at that time. desire.

It was this operation, which now seems to be a stroke of genius, that made Meng Tuo, who was already on the verge of ruin, quickly rise from an ordinary down-and-out scholar to become the supervisor of the entire Liangzhou in one fell swoop, and his power almost reached the peak of local officials. .

He didn't want anything else, just made a wish with the prison slave, hoping that before he died, he could experience the feeling of being "respected" by these slaves in Zhang Rang's house.

……

What kind of feeling is "respect"... The prison slave seldom experienced it himself, so he didn't understand it very well.

But if you want to say that it makes a person feel respected...that's too simple.

Those who serve as slaves to others know this best.You can say that he is not capable of handling affairs, but as a slave, his professional level of licking people is definitely the pinnacle of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

In this way, after the two reached an agreement, Meng Tuo visited Zhang Rang's mansion again, and because of various reasons such as status and time, he was at the end of the line that came to give gifts.

And those slaves were also very trustworthy. When they saw Meng Tuo coming, they swarmed up under the command of the prison slaves and received Meng Tuo with the highest etiquette. Jumping in line, he passed the crowd and entered Zhang Rang's mansion first.

At that time, behavior like this almost meant that Meng Tuo was Zhang Rang's guest and his guest of honor, which could almost convey a lot of messages.

It was precisely because of this that the visitors who were played by the servants all regarded Meng Tuo as a big boss, and gave all the gifts and money originally intended for Zhang Rang to Meng Tuo.

……

After that, things are actually very simple.

Just like what Su Dongpo once said in the sentence "The general won a hundred battles but he won't win, and Bolang won Liangzhou with one bushel", Meng Tuo did not think about living the life of a rich man after he got a lot of property income, but Turning around, he packed up these belongings and sent them all back to Zhang Rang's house.

This time, due to the huge amount of belongings, even Zhang Rang received him personally, and finally arranged for him the position of governor of Liangzhou, which also made the Meng family leap from a poor family to the whole Fufeng. The area is second to none with super high status.

This time he came with Fazheng, what Meng Da didn't even tell his friends was that besides his normal luggage, he also brought a letter from his father Meng Tuo.

The letter explained in detail the relationship between the Meng family and Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Rang. It seems that as long as Zhang Yan is not the only one, it is too much. With this letter, Meng Da is confident that he will be able to bring his best friend to find him in Lujiang. Get a nice spot.

It's as if there are people in the officialdom who are easy to handle. The children of the previous "old customers" are closer than outsiders anyway.

According to Meng Da's original idea, when things are not going well, this letter is the last guarantee for the two brothers, so that the two of them will not really end up on the streets and can't even find a serious job .

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Lujiang's officialdom seems to be a little cleaner than he originally expected.

If this is the case, perhaps not sending the letter in his hand and letting it rot in his hands may not be an unacceptable choice for Meng Da.

Chapter 38 Retreat

In this way, early the next morning, an official document about the recommendation of the governor of the third soldier Ma Sixing was delivered to Zhang Yan's desk.

It's just a pity that since Zhang Yan had just reached an agreement with Pang Degong in the field of education, there is no time to deal with these things now, and these letters marked with military information were said to be forwarded to Lu Su along with other letters .

Unlike Zhang Yan, Lu Su didn't know what the law was or wasn't. In Lu Su's eyes, the future mastermind of the Shu Han was just a child with some talent.

So he just went through the content of the letter roughly, and asked someone to find out about the situation last night, then wrote a reply on the official document, and transferred Fazheng to the army ranks in Lujiang.

As for the young man named Meng Da, Lu Su regarded him as a reserve talent in the political field because of Li Le and others' description of his character as calm, and he was not allowed to join Fazheng. Inside Lujiang's army.

In a sense, it can be said that the attachment of Fazheng and Pang Degong was like a turning point, marking that Zhang Yan's reputation began to gradually spread in the officialdom of the big man.

With his own considerable political achievements and the influence of the big library among the middle and low-level scribes, Zhang Yan is no longer what he was at the beginning, but anyone who comes from an aristocratic family has to scold him with "eunuch" son, insufficiency and conspiracy".

For those aristocratic families whose status is not very high, Lujiang, which is still somewhat lacking in people, is a very good place for trials for the juniors in their families.

Whether they have made some achievements here, or simply caught up with Zhang Yan, it seems to be beneficial to their future development without any harm.

As for those aristocratic families with few male members, especially those whose younger generation is mostly female, it is inevitable that they will be a little worried.

How badly they laughed at the Qiao family when they laughed at it, how much they regret it now.
