Chapter 150: The Guest (End)
Lei Yuan vaguely remembers that in history books, Mrs. Sun is a heroic and brave man, but she did not mention that she was still a noisy and high-quality ancient rioter. He did not expect that Mrs. Sun led the cavalry team to travel so wide that she could not even escape Lexiang, a hundred miles away from Gong'an City.
He looked at the cavalry team in front of him, then turned his head and gave Guan Ping a wink.
Guan Ping looked puzzled, hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head slightly.
Well, this really can't be forced.
Mrs. Sun followed Duke Xuande to Gong'an City for only a month. She was in conflict with her now, and Lei Yuan really didn't know what Xuande Guild thought. So he could understand Guan Ping's difficulties, but Lei Yuan was different from Guan Ping, so he would have to react today.
In terms of position, Lei Yuan was temporarily the General of the Le Township, and the head of the township, was not particularly prominent; but when it comes to actual control, the Lei family of Lujiang is one of the few local tyrants in Jingzhou at present. If the previous life said that even if others had high official positions, they were just workers under Xuande Gong; and the Lei family of Lujiang was almost a small shareholder with capital to invest, and their status was incomparable. Because of this, even Xuande himself would treat the leader of the Lei family of Lujiang with courtesy; and Mrs. Sun's actions were offensive to the entire clan.
The Lujiang Lei family is not a genius who passed on the family traditions of etiquette and law, but a Haowu family that rose in the war. The clan's disciples and guests' departments were used to a powerful sect leader. This is not the idea in a small circle of three or five people, but the perception of everyone from top to bottom of the entire clan.
When the situation is obviously strong and weak, of course you can swing and bend your knees, but the subordinates will never want to see their leader really become a gentle, respectful and humble gentleman... Such a leader will only make them feel safe. According to Lei Yuan's private summary, in this kind of tyrant family, all the people who bully the weak and fear the strong, and are harsh and weak on the inside.
Sadly, since I am the leader of this family, I have to adapt to this style to a certain extent. This is the difference between ordinary people and leaders. From a certain perspective, ordinary people can do what they want to do and say what they want to say; but the leader cannot. The reason why the leader is the leader is because what he does is what the whole group wants him to do; what he says is what the whole group wants him to say.
Just like now, Lei Yuan is very sure that many people in the clan can accept Xiao Langjun's submission to Duke Xuande, and even have the honor to be proud of it; but he cannot accept Xiao Langjun's 100-man cavalry team that wants to trample on the fields and hit the signs is powerless. The leader of the Lei family in Lujiang must not be regarded as weak and bullied.
Guan Ping looked at Lei Yuan with horror and said something in a low voice. A messenger behind him immediately rode forward and waved horizontally with two red and blue flags.
The meaning of this flag is to gather in various areas and move closer to our team.
The next moment, within a wide range centered on the opposite Xuanhe cavalry, the flags fluttered and the iron hooves thundered. Previously, Lei Yuan urgently dispatched Guo Jing, He Song, and Deng Tong's cavalry, and now they had arrived. Hundreds of cavalry circled out from behind the undulating slopes and extended into a large queue on the left and right sides of Lei Yuan's entourage, as if a huge giant eagle shook its dark gray wings and was about to fly up.
Jiangdong has always lacked war horses, and a small number of cavalry are often used as strategically important troops and are in the hands of the Marquis of Wu. There are very few cavalrymen in various generals. Even an important official like Zhou Yu, when he was appointed as the General of Jianwei Zhonglang, he was granted 2,000 soldiers, of which only 50 cavalrymen were only used to the pleasure of traveling with hundreds of cavalry, without any obstacles.
But this may not be the case in Jingzhou, and it is even more so in Lexiang. During the years of war with the northern regime, the proportion of cavalry of the Lei family unit far exceeds that of the army in Jiangdong. Even if the incident happened in a hurry, only half of them had to mobilize was enough to shock Mrs. Sun and her servants.
"Su Zhi! Don't do anything randomly!" This situation surprised Guan Ping a little.
Lei Yuan stared at the cavalry team opposite him: "Don't worry! I have a sense of responsibility."
As expected, when the knights on their side showed up in large numbers, there was a slight commotion in the teams with gold and brocades on the opposite side. Perhaps they were guessing how to deal with the Jingzhou general who had bumped into it. Everyone had their concerns, so that would be easy.
"Fan Hong!" Lei Yuan called out: "Go on my behalf and ask them why they hit the checkpoint and trampled on the fields, and ask them to give us an explanation."
"Abide by the order!"
Lei Yuan waved his hand and asked Fan Hong to get closer, lowering his voice: "As long as you have an explanation, even a word can do. In addition, you don't have to ask them about their origins, and don't be rude."
The emergence of our own cavalry has formed a huge deterrence. It is enough to cheer up in the eyes of every team, and the opponent's sluggish momentum is even more clearly visible. Almost, let's do it.
According to the customs at that time, it was a great honor to be able to go out to the camp instead of the commander of the army. Fan Hong's face was flushed with excitement, and immediately shaking his reins and approaching the opposite cavalry.
He was about to reach a hundred steps before he stopped his horse and shouted loudly: "I am the general Lei Xu tent, the head of the Qu Hong, Fan Hong, the opposite rider, who came out to answer!"
Previously, Liu Bei had appointed each of the Lei family and his son. Although Lei Yuan actually led the clan tribe as the heir of the Lei family in Lujiang, when Fan Hong publicly revealed his identity, he still held Lei Xu ahead, which was a respect for the system. Fan Hong has become much mature. During this period, he followed Lei Yuan closely, and he was very appropriate in speaking or doing things. He did not leave any loopholes when speaking today.
After hearing Fan Hong's call, the team of knights did not move at all, and some people in the queue chattered and discussed a few words, as if someone was talking nervously, and as if there was a chuckle that didn't mind at all came with the wind.
Fan Hong heard a crisp voice asking, "Who is this Lei Xu?"
Someone seemed to explain in a low voice.
The crisp voice said a little unhappy: "Since that's the case..."
Not long after, a rider on the opposite side slowly went downhill. The man rode a handsome red horse with gray spots, and his saddle was decorated with treasure trotters. Looking at the horseman, he was slender and his face was soft, and he was wearing a goose yellow robe. He looked like a rare beautiful boy.
"I'm...my family..." It was either because of embarrassment, or because it was not so convenient to speak after deliberately lowering its voice, the boy spoke twice in a row, but he couldn't continue to speak smoothly.
Fan Hong was also stunned.
When Lei Yuan traveled, he and Fan Feng were always responsible for listening to the wind whistle. His ears were always outstanding, so he immediately discovered that the person in front of him was not a young man, but a girl with a slept and a girl. Moreover, he was the one who praised him for his loyalty.
He immediately said: "This place is in Lexiang County. What you bump along the way is the checkpoint set by the general; what you trampled on is the land that the general belongs to the general and the local people. This is extremely rude, and you must give us an explanation. Otherwise, it will be difficult to speak before the Xuande Gong."
Fan Hong and Li Zhen partnered for several months. Li Zhen learned a lot of dirty words from him, while he learned some literary vocabulary and was quite capable of pretending.
What he said fell into the girl's ears, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl nodded slightly to Fan Hong and said politely: "My master has something to say, "I'm not trying to trample on the fields on horseback for a while, and I'm paying for the twenty-year-old Shu brocade. Please don't mind when you are in front of me."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and a servant in blue-clothed came out from the rear of the cavalry and came forward with a plate of exquisite brocade in red paint.
This huge compensation scared Fan Hong. Fan Hong felt his eyes straight. The Shu brocades were as attractive as they were, pulling his eyes over and over. The brocades were made with great effort and were priced like gold. Since ancient times, Shu brocades have been extremely precious treasures, and there is a saying that there are in the inch of brocades. Looking closely at the plate, they were clearly the best quality with the color and aurora of the Shu brocades.
Although the cavalry team ran and trampled on a lot of fields, it was the spring plowing time, and it was not troublesome to gather hundreds of people to replant. It was too generous to take out Shu brocade for compensation. And the cavalry team took out twenty Shu brocades so casually, as if they were taking out the fragments of money they carried with them!
For a moment, Fan Hong even wanted to yell. Is it so great to have money?... But those Shu brocades are so tempting.
Such a big deal has exceeded his imagination.
Lei Yuan also saw these gorgeous things.
He frowned and was about to ride out of the line, but Liu Feng's voice came from beside him:
"Continue it, accept it! Just accept it!"
Liu Feng, who was always confused, finally figured out who was opposite, and he was much more nervous than Lei Yuan and Guan Ping. It was no wonder that Liu Feng was the adopted son of Duke Xuande, but his legitimate mother was opposite. If Lei Yuan and Mrs. Sun had any conflict or unhappiness, Liu Feng would be extremely difficult to deal with.
He leaned over from the horse's back and said anxiously: "Take the Shu brocade, let the road be opened, and let them go!"
Lei Yuan laughed helplessly.
Liu Feng was definitely worried, even if he was just aiming at these Shu brocades, he had to let them go... Is there any other possibility?
