Chapter 304: When it comes to pretending to be coercive, it still depends on the king(1/2)

"Going to Sanchuan County to serve as a chief official?" Hong Cheng frowned tightly. He was just a chief official, so why go to Sanchuan County?

"It's not easy to be an official outside..." Hong Min's father-in-law also felt that something was a little strange.

Huaiyin is a large county with a large population, so naturally there are more officials.

Hong Min was originally an official under the chief official of Huaiyin, but later through some operations, his position was moved to a higher position and his power became larger.

But after saying a few nice words for Han Xin, many people felt disgusted.

As a result, the efforts of the previous few years were instantly in vain, and Hong Min gradually became a marginalized figure.

But his ability is quite good. For such a person, it would be a shame to use it and it would be a pity not to use it.

Just let him do the work and let others take the credit.

This kind of thing is common in all eras, so there is nothing curious about it.

Those who are lucky will encounter a change of dynasty and will change their destiny from then on. Those who are unlucky will probably be suppressed like this for the rest of their lives.

A marginal figure was suddenly transferred to another county as a county official.

Although Pingyin County is not as good as Huaiyin County, it is still a high-ranking official. After Hong Min passed, he was still promoted, and it was the kind of promotion that truly crossed a threshold.

"Okay, please. The transfer order from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been issued. General Han will lead his army back to Luoyang tomorrow. The superior asked me to take my wife and children to Luoyang with General Han, and then go to Pingyin County." Hong Min said.

"Where is Pingyin?" Hong Cheng asked. He only knew where Sanchuan County was, but he had never heard of Pingyin County.

"Thirty miles north of Luoyang..."

A sleepless night, the joy of promotion and the sadness of farewell.

The family wanted to bring everyone along with them, but the regulations stipulated that only the wife and children could be brought along.

There is no way. Although it is a bit inhumane, this order is actually very humane.

There is also a humane setting for serving as an official in a different place. If there are brothers in the family, you can only bring your wife and children to the place of appointment. If you are the only son in the family, you can bring your parents, wife and children with you.

Hong Min is the eldest son, and he has two younger brothers living in the countryside.

As for Hong Min himself, his family is neither poor nor rich, and belongs to the middle class.

He is diligent and intelligent, but his temper is like that of a donkey, but he happens to be favored by his father-in-law.

After some exchanges and observations, he was chosen as his son-in-law.

That year, Hong Min was only fourteen years old.

Although it is not a bride-in-law, it is not much different from a bride-in-law.

After being selected as his son-in-law, Hong Min lived and studied at his father-in-law's house. After the two got married, his father-in-law began to find ways to arrange things for him.

As time went by, it went higher and higher, and then fell back to the bottom because of Han Xin.

After several years of degradation and rejection, Hong Min's temper has not changed. On the contrary, after several years of training, he has accumulated a lot of experience.

Although it is hard to work a lot, working under a chief official means that you will have more experience as an official.

A large part of the reason why I was chosen was because of my exposure to this aspect.

The family packed their bags all night and barely slept well.

The father-in-law even rushed home to find a car to drive them on their way.

The next day, it was dark.

Hong Min's family of five sat in the car, took a driver as a gift from his father-in-law, and hurried to the military camp outside the city.

By the time they arrived, the military camp had been packed up, luggage was loaded onto trucks, and people were lined up, waiting for the order to set off.

He looked at Han Xin, who was just twenty-five years old and a full eight years younger than himself, standing in the army and swallowing mountains and rivers, with a majestic and majestic figure.

Hong Min was filled with emotions.

What else can I do besides sigh?

Who would have thought that Han Xin, who was bullied and had to suffer crotch humiliation a few years ago, would become a general in a few years?

Since they had already greeted him, the accompanying army officials verified Hong Min's transfer order and the identities of his accompanying family members, and arranged them into the army's convoy.

The team did not move very fast, covering only forty miles in one day.

Anyway, there is no war or mission, so there is no need to rush.

Each team almost brings its own salute, and every time it passes through a county, some people will be dispersed.

Hong Min didn't know what Han Xin was doing, but the longer it took to set off, the fewer and fewer people were in the team.

From beginning to end, Han Xin never looked for him, as if he didn't even know that this person existed.

No one in the army deliberately chatted with him. The only time he could talk was during meal time every morning and evening.

Because he was accompanying the army, he also ate military rations. For the first time, Hong Min witnessed with his own eyes the treatment of the Han army.

It was also the first time that I figured out why the Chu army was defeated so quickly.

With such military discipline and such treatment, how can we not win?

Half a month later, the army entered Yingchuan County. Of the more than 100,000 people, there were now less than 30,000 left, and they continued to disperse.

At the same time, the marching speed of the team is also constantly increasing.

From forty miles a day at the beginning to fifty miles a day now.

The fewer people there are, the faster the speed. This is a natural law.

It was the autumn harvest, and Hong Min was shocked when he saw the busy Yingchuan County.

Compared with the "desolation" of the Chu region, those counties and counties that had long been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty were undoubtedly paradise-like places.

There is no need to recruit corvees for the war, and the most direct result is that the entire Han territory is now having a good harvest.

There are smiles everywhere and shadows of happiness everywhere.

"Hong Lijun, the general is calling you!" A soldier suddenly interrupted Hong Min's shock.

Hong Min, who originally thought that Han Xin didn't remember him at all, became even more confused.

But this doubt soon disappeared. Maybe someone mentioned me?

After all, he is the general commanding the army. How could he remember himself as a person who only said a few nice words for him?

Following the soldiers, they came to Han Xin's side.

At this moment, Han Xin was riding a white, tall war horse, wearing a red military uniform, with a red cloak symbolizing a senior officer hanging on his back.

It would be too solemn to dismount to welcome people, and it would be too pretentious to let people walk.

So Han Xin asked someone to bring a horse and asked Hong Min to ride it and walk side by side with him.

"I never thought you could really keep your composure!" Han Xin joked with a smile as the two stood side by side.

"The general's words are serious, the junior officer just did what he should do." Hong Min said, this is his character. If he flattered Han Xin at this time, then he would not behave like this.

Han Xin shook his head and smiled: "There are people who should do more than you, but you are the only one who can do what you do."

"Back then, there were many people who were not good to me, but now I can't remember any of them. There were also many people who were good to me, but now I remember them all very clearly."

"My general has also heard about your matter. The reason why I didn't come to see you before is because I know very well that in the environment of Han Dynasty, truly capable people will not be buried."

"You are capable and responsible. You don't want to flatter or deliberately please certain people."

"These are the things in you that the king likes."

"So even if you don't come to me during this period of time in Huaiyin, I will recommend you to the king when I return to Luoyang."

"I just didn't expect that the king would find you faster than I recommended you. Before I even returned to Luoyang, the king's transfer order came."

"The king...the king's transfer order?" Hong Min was confused.

Why did this become the king’s order again?

Why do you feel more and more confused?

"Well, not only do I know about your affairs, but even the king knows about it. Do you know what happened before your transfer order was handed over to Huaiyin Order?" Han Xin looked at Hong Min with a smile. He liked this very much.

It feels like chatting with a benefactor or an acquaintance.

Although Hong Min was still a little nervous, Han Xin felt very happy. Good people should be rewarded.

Hong Min shook his head. If only he knew, something strange would happen.

"The messenger who brought this transfer order came to me first and asked if you had come to me or asked for anything. If so, I would let me decide how to arrange the follow-up arrangements. If not, he would ask me for help.

This transfer order has been handed over to the Huaiyin Order." Han Xin continued: "These are the king's exact words."

Hong Min looked confused again, I...

Am I so famous? Even the king knows about me?

However, Hong Min's confusion could not influence Han Xin's thoughts.

Han Xin was no better than him when he learned the news.

On showing off...
