After some preparation, Wang Yao and Xun Cai went to the hall hand in hand to offer tea to their parents.
Wang Qi and Xun Yuan were very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Her family background and talent were impeccable, and both parents knew her well.
After offering tea, Xun Yuan took Xun Cai back to the backyard, and didn't know what to say.
Wang Qi and Wang Yao, father and son, stayed in the hall.
"Axing, what are your plans after the wedding?"
"We have already agreed on this." Wang Yao said, "I plan to continue to run Yingjie Hall. Now my father-in-law is here. He and you, two great masters, will serve as the face of Yingjie Hall. If we continue to develop, our reputation will never be inferior to Xu Zijiang's Yuedanping."
"Well, it's a good thing that you want to become famous, but what about the future? The development of the family is ultimately to be an official. Do you plan to go to the Luoyang Central Government, or start from the local level like your father did?"
If it were a prosperous era, there would definitely be more opportunities for Beijing officials, but now that troubled times are approaching, it is more conducive to development and growth in the local area.
"Dad, I lived in the capital for a few months before, and I felt uncomfortable. It's not suitable for me. I'd better develop in the local area like you did in the past."
"Well, the water in the capital is too deep, and the local area is far away. Well, wait for a year or two, and you have accumulated some reputation, I will recommend you to the court, and then it depends on you."
"Okay, then there's nothing to do. I'll go to the Yingjie Pavilion first."
"Go, go." Wang Qi waved his hand and made a gesture to drive him away.
Wang Qi turned and left, thinking: Dad, your prediction is probably not going to work. In a few dozen days, Zhang Jiao will start the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, all the heroes will start to fight for the land, stepping on the corpses of the Yellow Turbans and the remains of the Han Dynasty.
"Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, go out."
"Yes."
Wang Yao took Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and rode out of the city to the manor outside the city where Yingjie Pavilion was located.
After the establishment of Yingjie Pavilion, local warriors were recruited, fields were reclaimed, and forts were built. There were many strong men in it, and some weapons were stored. They were often trained. These people were armed and became a wave of soldiers.
The major families in the late Han Dynasty all kept private soldiers. These private soldiers, to put it bluntly, were armed tenants, belonging to the gray area that the government could not control.
The three came to Yingjie Pavilion. When the guard saw Wang Yao, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, young master."
Then, he opened the door and invited Wang Yao in.
Inside the fort
Deng Dang commanded hundreds of warriors to train in formation.
Although Wang Qi was apparently unemployed, the team that Wang Qi and Wang Yao had gathered together were not idle.
Under Wang Qi's operation, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were recommended to serve in the military camp in Jinyang; Zhang Liao, as his student, was deeply bound to Wang Qi and was currently serving as the chief secretary in the prefectural government.
The team around Wang Yao was basically responsible for the operation of the Yingjie Hall.
Daily affairs and the assessment and rating of literati were handed over to Wang Meng and Yan Xiang, Xun You and the other two discussed and decided.
Wang Shi supervised the farming affairs, settled the families of the talented people who came to seek refuge, and ensured that the tenants in Yingjie Hall could be self-sufficient.
Wen Ji, Deng Dang, Le Jin, Wang Huan, and Wang Che were responsible for training the warriors and rating the warriors in Yingjie Hall.
In addition, Wen Ji and Wang Che trained cavalry in the name of hunting; Le Jin, Deng Dang, and Wang Huan were divided into three teams to train infantry.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai usually followed Wang Yao and were ready to take orders at any time.
As soon as the three entered the martial arts field, Deng Dang commanded hundreds of warriors to turn around, salute, and shout: "Greetings, young master!"
"Greetings, young master."
Wang Yao waved his hand and said: "Continue the training."
"Yes."
Deng Dang waved the flag, the army formation changed again, and the training began.
Bingzhou was a place where the Han and the Hu people lived together. The complex environment made governance difficult. There were refugees everywhere. The Hu people could destroy many villages with a single blow.
The government did not have the energy to deal with small-scale Hu people's looting. The existence of the fortress could resist the threat of the Hu people and was considered to be common.
The establishment of the Yingjie Pavilion fortress relied on taking in refugees and developed rapidly to a large scale.
As the three of them walked, Wang Yao said, "Youping (Zhou Tai), let's go see Yunchang first. By the way, what do you think of his martial arts rating?"
"Hey, this." Zhou Tai was a little embarrassed: "Young Master, this red-faced man you recruited is really fierce. After drinking last night, the brothers in charge of martial arts rating had a sparring match with him. Zihe (Wen Ji) and Renzai (Deng Dang) were knocked down in about 20 rounds. Only Wenqian (Le Jin) fought with him for about 50 rounds before they stopped fighting."
The growth of martial arts does not necessarily rely on famous teachers. It is more about talent plus fighting, increasing combat experience, and improving combat power.
Based on Guan Yu's life experience, it is estimated that he did not have a professional famous teacher to teach him. Even if he was a martial arts enthusiast in his hometown, coupled with the exile from Hedong to Shangdang, he was not experienced in fighting.
Wen Ji and Deng Dang had fought Shanyue with Wang Yao, but they were defeated in 20 rounds.
Le Jin fought for fifty rounds, but Wang Yao expected no winner.
Before Le Jin joined, he had been a knight-errant, and he also participated in the war to pacify the Qiang and Hu with Wang Xi. During this period, he showed bravery and accumulated a lot of practical experience. The Qiang and Hu were much stronger than the Shanyue.
"Guan Yunchang is really a rough diamond. I hope he can be cultivated in the future."
"???" Zhou Tai scratched his head. Why did this sound a bit strange?
Jiang Qin secretly wrote down Wang Yao's words and observed them carefully in the future.
The three came to Guan Yu's room. Jiang Qin knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother Yunchang, the young master is here."
Guan Yu, who was reading "Spring and Autumn Annals", immediately stood up and opened the door to greet him, bowing his hands and saluting:
"Guan has met the young master."
"No need to be polite, Yunchang, what do you think of my Yingjie Pavilion? II heard that you had a discussion with Wen Qian and others. I was right about you. If you stay, I will treat you as a distinguished guest. How about that? I will settle the things you did in your hometown. You can also bring your family here, which can be regarded as a reunion. "
After the drinking party and discussion, plus a stroll in Yingjie Pavilion this morning, Guan Yu has a preliminary understanding of this place.
"I am a commoner. I am willing to serve you."
"Okay, Gongyi (Jiang Qin), remember my order. From now on, Guan Yu will be a distinguished guest of Yingjie Pavilion, and he can also participate in the training of the local militia."
"Write it down. I will announce it later."
Wang Yao looked at Guan Yu again: "Yunchang, Bingzhou is a mixed population of Hu and Han people. The court is willing but not strong enough. We can only protect ourselves and protect the local militia by arming them. You still have to do your best. ”
“I will definitely live up to your high expectations.”
