Chapter 314 Windfall
The rich fragrance Beigong Jing, Yang Jun and others naturally smelled it, and their stomachs were gulping unconsciously.
The old man smiled and said, "It seems that the chef Xi'er is looking for is indeed a bit of something. I have traveled around the world and ate a lot of delicious food, but I have never smelled such a strong fragrance."
Beigong Jing said a little embarrassedly: "Shizhong Yang, he... he is not a cook, he is a Quhou under my command, and he is also my aide."
China has explored institutions like the General Staff Department very early, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period. Jin, one of the five hegemons, first established the position of Sima in the army. Sima in the army is mainly responsible for the military affairs of its own generals, picking up the leftovers and making suggestions, and what they actually undertake is the function of modern staff. However, not all the gang leaders and generals who come up with ideas are called Sima in the army. Sima in the army must be equipped with very high-level generals. For example, Wang Jun also established a decisive Wu. After being promoted, he was promoted to the title and was treated as a member of the Sima of the Eight Army. However, his mortal enemy Wang Hun disturbed him, saying that he did not obey the command when attacking Wu, and that Wu surrendered and attacked. The merit of destroying Wu was too great to equip him with Sima of the Army. The lawsuit was fought until Emperor Wu of Jin. Later, Emperor Wu of Jin came out and mixed with the slightest, saying that Wang Hun was right and that according to the rules, he should not equip Wang Jun with Sima of the Army, but he personally transferred a few to him for his advice, which was considered to have resolved the matter.
Yan Shao, the father of the famous general of Liu Song, also served as Sima in the army for Xie Hui, the general who was in charge of the Liu Song imperial guards. Xie Hui had a very high status in Liu Song. It is not difficult to see that not every general in the army is qualified to be equipped. For example, Beigong Jing and Yang Jun, who only have a few thousand people on hand, don’t even think about it.
The staff members of these generals with only a few thousand people on hand can only feel aggrieved and are called aides. What they do is similar to Sima in the army, but they are not of sufficient level and are not worthy of such a noble title as "Sima". Sima in the army is equipped by the court, with a high level, so there is no need for a staff member. The generals can recruit themselves. As for their ability, whether it is easy to use, it is your own business, and the court is not responsible. Also, remember to pay the staff member, but people will not work for you if they don't give them money.
After hearing what Beigong Jing said, the old man was stunned and asked, "What kind of work is this nephew responsible for?"
Beigong Jing said: "Military Senator. In this battle in Xincheng, he set up a formation of the rostrum, allowing our army to defeat Hu prisoners with only 3,000 troops and kill more than 20,000 prisoners."
The old man took a long breath: "This person is so powerful? I wonder which family he is from?"
Beigong Jing said: "The branch of the Li clan in Longxi." He was telling the truth, but not all the truth. Li Rui was indeed a branch of the Li clan in Longxi, but this branch was too far apart. He had not had any contact with the family for three hundred years. I am afraid that the Li clan in Longxi had long forgotten that there was such a small branch.
Yang Jun also said: "The head of the family, this Marquis of Li Qu is not only good at setting up formations, but also a sharpshooter."
The old man became more and more interested: "Oh? Is there any sharpshooter in the shooting sound camp that is powerful?"
Yang Jun looked at several generals in the shooting camp, and saw them looking at him with dissatisfaction. The shooting camp gathered sharpshooters and thought that they were unparalleled in the world. When Li Rui was also a sharpshooter, they certainly did not accept it. He said: "Yesterday, our army fought with the Hulu in Piaoliu. My younger sister was eager to kill the enemy, and rushed too hard, and was deeply trapped in the enemy formation. She chased a Xiongnu shark and almost hit the other party's way. It was Li Quhou who saw the opportunity quickly and shot the arrow a hundred and twenty feet away. He shot the neck of the shark and injured him severely. Only then did the little sister escape from the sky and turn defeat into victory!"
Xiao Yu, the captain of the Shooting Camp, couldn't help but scream: "Shot the arrows across 120 feet, hit the neck of the Eagle's Eagle? Brother Yang, are you talking about myths? Who in the world can shoot an enemy so far? Even if Li Guang reborn, Yang Youji cannot do it!"
Yang Jun said: "But he did it. Don't forget that he is a descendant of Li Guang. The descendants of the Li family in Longxi have always had a talent that is far beyond ordinary people in archery!"
The old man looked at him and asked, "What you said is true?"
Yang Jun said: "There is no lie."
The old man knew his temper. This child was arrogant since childhood and rarely convinced others. Those who could convince him were all those who were far better than him. The Li family in Longxi was indeed very glorious in the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, but he was unable to recover after the witchcraft disaster. Now he is just trying to keep himself from falling out of the ranks of aristocratic families. To put it bluntly, they are only a little stronger than poor families. With Yang Jun's personality, he will not speak big for someone who is inferior to himself and has the ability to be praised by him. Then this Mr. Li Qu must have real skills.
He was a little surprised: "The declining family of the Longxi Li family actually produced such a genius? And the Longxi Li family was willing to let him be a small staff member in the Liangzhou army? It's such a strange thing!"
That's right? If the Yang family produces such a genius, he will definitely do his best to train them. Be a small staff member under the command of the lieutenant? Just kidding, he feels that he has insulted the talent of the Yang family's good man! The Li family in Longxi is too jealous. Such a genius in the family has no reaction at all. They deserve to be inferior to the previous generation!
Beigong Jing explained to Li Rui: "He has not been moving with our family for more than three hundred years. It is normal for the Li family in Longxi to know that he is not aware of him."
The old man said: "Oh, from this point of view, the Li family in Longxi is not as lucky as that!"
I was thinking about it: Longxi Li family does not have this kind of fortune, he has it! Should I take advantage of the fact that the Li family in Longxi have not yet reacted and pull this genius into the Yang family? This should not be very difficult. Children from such declining families are very eager to make a name for themselves, let him marry into a marriage, pick an unmarried woman from the Yang family to marry him, give him a good future, and then take practical actions to recommend him to the emperor. It should be fine!
You, Li, have misunderstood, don’t blame me, Yang, for taking action first!
While pondering, the fragrance became more and more intense. Li Rui walked in with oily hands and saluted Beigong Jing first: "Major General."
Beigong Jing asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Rui said: "The food is ready, will you serve it now?"
Beigong Jing said, "Let's serve. By the way, Mr. Li Qu, let me introduce you to the head of the Yang family, Yang Shizhong, and the minister whom the emperor trusted the most." He pulled Li Rui to the old man to introduce him.
Li Rui looked at the old man with fairy spirit and saluted quickly: "See Master Shizhong!"
The old man's surname is Yang Chen, and he is the son of Yang Yao. Yang Yao and Yang Hu, Yang Jin and Yang Xiu are brothers, with an outstanding family background. The Yang family's children of his generation also emerged in many talents, including Yang Liang, Yang Lun, Yang Yi, Yang Pian, Yang Bing, Yang Ji, Yang Xuanzhi... They are all civil and military talents, and are highly valued in the court. It is them who made the Taishan Yang family more brilliant. Unfortunately, since the death of Emperor Wu of Jin, the Yang family seems to have been cursed. These outstanding talents either died at a young age, died of worries and anger, or were killed by the Hu people... Now among the fourth generation of children, Yang Chen is still alive.
Yang Chen is not simple either. He is a great calligrapher, good at regular script, running script, cursive script, and official script. A word worth a thousand gold. At the same time, he is also a fierce man who can shoot bows left and right. King Sima Lun of Zhao controlled the government affairs, established himself in the prime minister, and appointed him as the military affairs of the prime minister. This is a very important official position. But Yang Chen saw that Sima Lun had a bad plan and was afraid of causing trouble. When the envoy came to convey the appointment, he rode a horse that had not had time to match the saddle and ran away. The envoy brought people to chase him behind, and was forced to get anxious. Yang Chen took the bow and arrow, and opened the bow and waved several arrows in succession, frightening the envoy out of urine and did not dare to chase him again. He escaped calmly. He could shoot so accurately without a saddle. This old man's archery technique can be imagined.
The development of the situation was just as Yang Chen expected. After killing Empress Jia, the old turtleman of Sima Lun deposed Emperor Hui, and became emperor himself, and even made him a large-scale official. No matter whether it was useful or not, he had all his confidants named high-ranking officials. Even if it was useful or not, he was not enough for the sable tails decorated with official hats. He could only use the dog tail to make up the numbers, leaving behind such an absolutely disgraceful allusion as "dog tails to continue sable sable". King Sima Jiong of Qi, King Sima Yong of Hejian, and King Sima Ying of Chengdu were not convinced, and sent troops to kill him. The party members of the King of Zhao naturally did not escape, and basically killed them all, and Yang Chen who refused to accept Zhao Lun's reward was that he did not even lose a single hair.
It is not difficult to see two points from this:
First: This old man has a high martial arts value and is a ruthless character who is good at riding and shooting;
Second: This old man has a very vicious vision, he is more accurate in judging people and the situation!
No one dares to underestimate such a person.
The head of the Yang family looked at Li Rui. Seeing that his facial features were upright and his eyebrows were so heroic, he nodded secretly: Among the children of Luoyang's aristocratic families, such talents are rare. He smiled and said, "No gifts and no gifts. You are the magical archer Li Rui, who is from the Longxi Li family and can wear Yang in hundreds of steps, right? Thank you for using your magic skills yesterday to save Xiu'er's life, otherwise what I see now may be a cold corpse."
Li Rui said: "The arrow yesterday was misunderstood. It depends on luck to shoot it. I really don't dare to take credit for it."
Yang Chen laughed: "You boy is so interesting. This is the first time I have seen someone push the credit out!"
Yang Xiu came over and said, "Master, I have thanked him!"
Yang Chen said: "How can such a life-saving grace be sent by a light thank you? Nephew, after the war, you come to my husband's mansion. I want to hold a banquet to treat you well!"
