After nearly half a month's journey, Zhao Jun and his party finally arrived at Liaoyun Pass from Bianjing.
They were not kept waiting outside Guancheng for too long.
Li Wei and others quickly received the news and came to greet them with a large group of people.
They were far away, and as soon as they saw Zhao Jun and others, Li Wei greeted them loudly.
"Your Majesty, King Yun! I am late to greet you, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
As soon as this loud voice came out, Zhao Jun and his party immediately noticed him. Seeing him coming, Zhao Jun stepped forward with a smile and said: "General Li, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Li Wei hurriedly jogged over and replied with a smile: "Thanks to the prince, I will live well and eat well in the end. I am living a very comfortable life."
Zhao Jun smiled. He naturally knew the meaning of Li Wei's words. The Yunzhou County Sheriff's Office would not give things to people without any reason. These were all sent under his arrangement.
Zhao Jun knew very well that for a general like Li Wei who was directly under his father, it was just a bad idea to bribe him with money. The best way was to give him some food that he could not refuse and that was not very valuable, and slowly cultivate the relationship between the two parties.
Finally, step by step...
Of course, there is no need to say more about what follows, everyone who understands understands it. Even if Li Wei resisted the temptation in the end, he finally accepted his own things.
As the saying goes, he is short-handed and soft-spoken. If he happens to need his help for something, as long as the problem is not major, he will more or less turn a blind eye.
As the defender blocking the inner boundary between Yunzhou County and Da Song Pass, his actions of turning a blind eye have been of great help to Yunzhou County, which means that Yunzhou County cannot lose no matter what.
Since you can't lose anything, why not just give something away?
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Li Wei hurriedly welcomed Zhao Jun and his party into Guancheng.
On the way into the city, Li Wei noticed Ye Yin who had been following Zhao Jun closely. This was a face that Zhao Jun had not seen when he went to Bianjing. Then he thought about the purpose of Zhao Jun, King Yun, in going to the capital this time.
Li Wei immediately slapped his thigh and hurriedly handed over his hands to Ye Yin and said:
"Oh, look at how stupid the general is. This must be Princess Yun. The general didn't show disrespect to the princess. She really deserves to be punished!"
Ye Yin smiled and shook her head:
"General Li, there is no need to be polite. I am also the son of a general. She has been accustomed to being casual since she was a child. There are not so many rules. General, just be more casual. There is nothing to blame."
"Is the princess actually born as a general?"
Li Wei was guarding the border. Although he could get news about some major events, the specific details were not clear, so it was not clear that Ye Yin was the daughter of the general.
Now when I heard that Princess Yun was actually the daughter of a general, I immediately felt cordial and her expression, which had become a little restrained due to the rudeness, suddenly relaxed a lot.
But the embarrassment on his face became even heavier. This was the daughter of their general. As a soldier, he was so rude. How embarrassed was he? He patted his chest and said:
"That's good. If the prince and princess don't mind it, they will stay in our Yunzhou County for a night's rest today.
After the general has done his best as a landlord and treated the prince and princess to a meal, it will be regarded as the general's apology.
I wonder if the prince and princess can give me a favor? "
Zhao Jun was naturally happy to get close to Li Wei. In addition, it was really not suitable to go out again today. After leaving Liaoyun Pass, they would have to spend at least three or four days in the wild. The team also needed to replenish supplies in the pass first. Fan, so he readily agreed.
Ye Yin naturally nodded in agreement.
Li Wei was overjoyed immediately and hurriedly arranged the accommodation for Zhao Jun and others.
Compared with the current enthusiasm, when Zhao Jun and others first went to Bianjing, Li Wei was not like this at all. He wished that the two sides had no relationship at all. Zhao Jun still remembers it clearly.
Zhao Jun also knew the reason for all this.
People in this world are all running for themselves after all. Those who do not benefit themselves but only benefit others are saints.
But such people are in the minority after all, and running around for themselves all their lives is the code of conduct for most people.
That night, Li Wei hosted a banquet for Zhao Jun and his wife at his house. What they ate that night was hot pot. Zhao Jun was very satisfied with this. The Song Dynasty cuisine in this era was not to his liking.
I still like this hot pot better, and Ye Yin, who had eaten hot pot for the first time, was amazed by this way of eating it.
When I asked, I found out that this was actually a way of eating invented by my own man. He immediately looked at Zhao Jun with surprised eyes and received a slightly proud smile from Zhao Jun.
This immediately made Ye Yin roll her eyes at him angrily. This man couldn't give him a good look. He wanted to behave well when he got an advantage. If he gave him some color, he wanted to open a dyeing workshop.
After stopping for a day, Zhao Jun and his party finally prepared enough supplies for the next time in this city.
Early the next morning, the group set out on their way back to the city again. This time Li Wei still didn't come to see them off, but he sent his deputy general Peng Li over.
When Zhao Jun saw Peng Li, he thought for a long time before he remembered the man who had been cutting beef rolls at Li Wei's house all night yesterday. At that time, he thought he was the cook at Li Wei's house, but he didn't expect that he was actually the deputy general of Liaoyun Pass. .
Embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. Remembering that yesterday, he thought he was slow to cut and questioned his craftsmanship, he became even more embarrassed and apologized again and again.
But Peng Li didn't care about this. He waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be like this, Your Majesty. The generals are already used to it. My general likes to ask me to cut beef rolls every time, but he always forgets me. He is used to it." ”
After saying that, Peng Li also had a helpless smile on his face.
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up slightly, he patted Peng Li on the shoulder and said: "Hahaha, General Peng doesn't have to be like this. In the future, I will ask the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Mansion to send the general a portion of food every month for the general to eat. That’s enough!”
Peng Li's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly thanked him. Seeing that he accepted it so quickly, Zhao Jun had some thoughts in his heart, and then asked as if he didn't mean it:
"By the way, I forgot to ask yesterday. I wonder what the general is responsible for in this pass? Is it some important position?"
Peng Li smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Your Majesty, you also know that as a general, it is impossible for the general to guard the city every day, so naturally he has to do this hard work.
It's not an important position, it's just some of my daily affairs at Liaoyun Pass. "
"Oh, that's how it is."
Zhao Jun nodded slowly, and suddenly hugged Peng Li's shoulders when he looked at him in astonishment and whispered: "How is General Peng's family situation? Is his family still wealthy?"
Peng Li was stunned when he heard this, and said subconsciously: "The general was born in a peasant family. In the past few years, the imperial court was short of soldiers, so the family of the general recruited soldiers. Just in time for the harvest to be poor, he joined the army.
Fortunately, my brain is still flexible, and now I can be considered successful in my career. Although my family is not rich, I no longer have to worry about food and clothing. "
Zhao Jun smiled and nodded, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Don't worry about food and clothing?
After all, the general is also a guard general. Although he is only a deputy general, he is only willing to have food and clothing? "
Peng Li gradually noticed the smell at this time, and subconsciously wanted to distance himself from Zhao Jun, but found that he could not move at all, and was hugged tightly by Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun smiled and then said: "General, as a farmer, he must have experienced a lot of life and death to be able to climb to this position.
Even if they can't become rich and powerful, at least their wives and parents at home should let them enjoy the treatment they deserve. What can they do with the little salary from the court?
As a general, as long as you raise your hand a little, the parents, wives and children can live a better life.
There is no need for the general to violate anything, it is just some small things that Yunzhou County sent to the customs. If the general feels that it is not in the way, he will raise his hand. In this way, I, Yunzhou County, will naturally give generous gifts.
What does the general think? "
Peng Li's struggling movements gradually stopped, and the light in his eyes flickered.
Thinking of his elderly parents and the hard work of getting up early every day to sell breakfast in the city even though he was already a first-level lieutenant general, he nodded slowly.
Zhao Jun smiled and patted his shoulder, let go of him, and then led the team away.
Zhao Jun's words came from far away:
"General Peng, see you later..."
I recommend this book. It is of the same type. There are few people who write about the history of the late Tang Dynasty. It is very good. In fact, the history of the late Tang Dynasty is also quite exciting. The emperor's favorite son Li Keyong swallows his anger like a tiger, and the evil master Zhu Wen is cruel and merciless. He returns to the rebel army. Loyal and courageous, the three towns of Heshuo, Wei Bo, Lulong and Chengde, were tortured for more than a hundred years in the Tang Dynasty. The eunuchs in the court had exclusive power, including Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu and others, who were countless. This is a look at the whole world from the perspective of the emperor. The heroes are very interesting. Now they have conquered Guanzhong and Xishu, contacted the Guiyi Army, and are getting better. Friends in the book world may wish to take a look.
