Chapter 73
Wuji County, the city gate.
Wang Lei led his army back triumphantly, and a group of soldiers stalked into the city. The high morale, cold eyes, and proud expression shocked countless people and blinded the eyes of the major gentry and merchants in Wuji County. When Wang Lei led his army to face Yan Liang, the major families in Wuji County did not look down on Wang Lei because the power gap between the enemy and us was too great.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou had tens of thousands of troops, and were coming in a fierce and unstoppable manner; Wang Lei's soldiers were only about two thousand, with weak power and few major generals, making it hard to believe that Wang Lei would win.
In the final result, Wang Lei returned with a great victory, which was unexpected.
This influence also made countless people begin to think about how to face this young county magistrate.
Not to mention the idea of the gentry and clan of Wuji County, Wang Lei was so busy that he was not touching the ground after returning to the city.
He placed the prisoners in the military camp and temporarily handed over the matter of recruiting the prisoners to Yu Du and Guan Gu. At this time, Wang Lei began to feel that the talents under his command were not enough. Among his personnel, Du Ji was responsible for internal affairs and logistics; Guo Jia was the military advisor, responsible for making suggestions; Dian Wei was a powerful general, responsible for charging, and Yu Du and Guan Gu could be regarded as both a powerful general who rushed forward or a general who governed the army, but if it were a military governor, the two of them were mediocre and lacked enough skills.
After Wang Lei's strength increased, he was eager to have a leader.
Unfortunately, there is no such talent right now.
After explaining the general matter, Wang Lei returned to the county government with his tired body. Before he could rest, Du Ji came to the county government to report the matter. In the study, the two guests and guests sat down. Du Ji looked relaxed, with a strong smile in his eyes, and said excitedly: "For the lord, this time, defeating Yan Liang and Wen Chou, can be regarded as a double happiness for the lord."
"Oh, why is it a double happiness?"
Wang Lei was confused and didn't know why Du Ji came to such a conclusion.
Du Ji explained: "When the lord went to war, the appointment letter from the governor of the prefecture was sent to Wuji County. In the future, the lord will not only be the county magistrate of Wuji County, but also serve as the commander of Zhongshan State, in charge of Zhongshan State's military. In this way, the lord's power will increase and the troops of the entire Zhongshan State can be mobilized."
Wang Lei thought for a moment and said, "The fact that we resisted Yan Liang's army has attracted Han Fu's attention. He wanted me to serve with all my heart and would not hesitate to reward me! As for the position of Duwei, the key is the advantage of identity, which is not very helpful to our strength. After all, the military strength of Zhongshan Kingdom is not strong, otherwise it would not be conquered by Yan Liang and Wen Chou."
Du Ji said: "The lord's words are reasonable. With the status of the commander, he can gain a firm foothold in Zhongshan."
Wang Lei nodded and continued: "The matter of the lieutenant is temporarily put aside. There are five thousand prisoners now, and they need a lot of food and grass support. Brother Bo Hou will worry!"
"I understand! I will try my best to raise food and grass."
Du Ji said goodbye and left, and Wang Lei sat alone in the room, thinking about the matter of the Duwei.
"Dong!Dong!"
A knock on the door came from outside the room.
"Come in!"
After the voice fell, Uncle Fu walked in and said, "Young Master, Zhen Yan is here to visit."
Wang Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "Please go to the living room, I'll arrive later."
"yes!"
After Uncle Fu left, Wang Lei thought about it for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.
The reason why Zhen Yan came to visit in a hurry was that he was the commander of Zhongshan Kingdom, and he learned that he defeated Yan Liang's army with less and more. Wang Lei used to be a small county magistrate with little reputation. After defeating Yan Liang in one fell swoop, he was not only promoted, but also made great achievements in military achievements and a bright future. Zhen Yan naturally would not miss the current opportunity.
After thinking it through, Wang Lei got up and headed towards the living room.
In the living room, Zhen Yan stood slightly nervous, looking out of the hall from time to time.
He did take a look at Wang Lei’s judgment.
He did not expect that Wang Lei would be promoted so quickly. In just a few months, he changed from a county magistrate with no support to the commander of Zhongshan Kingdom, and defeated the army sent by Yuan Shao. Now Han Fu is worried about Yuan Shao's attack, and Wang Lei's appearance undoubtedly illuminated Han Fu's hope. It is expected that Wang Lei will definitely be valued by Han Fu and will rise to the top in the future.
For this reason, Zhen Yan rushed over. The merchants valued the fact that strange goods were available. The Zhen family was a merchant in Wuji County and wanted to support a potential person so that the family could make profits.
Wang Lei's appearance made Zhen Yan plan to bet.
A sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and Zhen Yan turned around and looked. In an instant, he bent his back slightly, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Zhaomin Zhen Yan, I have seen the adults."
Wang Lei waved his hand and said, "President Zhen, please sit down!"
When the guest and the host took a seat, Wang Lei said, "The head of the Zhen family is here to visit, I wonder what is important?"
Zhen Yan smiled slightly and said humbly: "I heard that the adults have captured thousands of soldiers. So many prisoners are a burden. I wonder what the adults plan to deal with these five thousand people?"
Wang Lei's mind quickly turned, and immediately changed into a embarrassed expression, sighed: "It's okay if the head of Zhen's family doesn't say it. When I say it, I really feel a headache. Five thousand people and five thousand mouths, how much food should I eat in a day? With Wuji County's current ability to bear the food, it's impossible to afford so many soldiers' food. The head of Zhen's family is rich and has a family of over 100 million yuan. It's better to support one or two more and give millions of dollars to buy food. With the foundation of the Zhen family, millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket, but it's a timely help to me!"
brush!
Zhen Yan's face turned dark and said to himself, "You can really tell me."
Very thick-skinned!
Is millions of money a small amount?
Zhen Yan took a deep breath, changed his mind, and thought that he was coming to see Wang Lei, who was going to support Wang Lei, so why did he feel uncomfortable after listening to Wang Lei's words?
But he just felt uncomfortable!
Zhen Yan didn't reveal what he thought, and smiled slightly and continued, "Sir, Zhen Yan came here to share his worries and help the sorrow in his heart."
"It's so good. I really want to sleep, but someone gives me a pillow!"
Wang Lei looked calm, put away the casual smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I wonder how the head of the Zhen family plans to support him? A million dollars may not be enough to share the worries!"
Zhen Yan's face was calm and said lightly: "The Zhen family will fully fund the money, food and weapons that the adults need. Even if they spend all their money, they will do whatever they want. Can the adults be satisfied with such funding?"
"really?"
Wang Lei stood up with a solemn expression. He expected Zhen Yan to support him, but he did not expect Zhen Yan to tie the family to his chariot, which was definitely a big bet.
Zhen Yan said: "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse!"
Wang Lei took a deep breath and said, "You will not let me down, I will not let you down!"
Eight words, sonorous and powerful.
Zhen Yan stood up, closed his hands and bowed to the ground, and bowed to the ground, and bowed to the head, "Zhen Yan, pay homage to the lord!" Since then, the Zhen family has been completely tied to Wang Lei's chariot.
Chapter completed!
