Royal road

Early in the morning, Li Jun woke up from his dream.This is not very common.Since Jinyang broke the siege, his team finally had time to calm down.He has made great achievements in defending the city, and the governor has not yet arrived. Taking advantage of this spare time, he relaxes a bit.Not to mention singing every night, eight out of ten days were due to drunkenness.But there was no banquet yesterday, so it was rare for him not to be drunk, but he was quarreled by the voice outside the door.

Scratching his belly impatiently, Li Jun put on his clothes and walked out of the barracks.When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.I saw that the school field outside was already crowded with soldiers, who were practicing.There are one-on-one competitions, and there are also groups of three or four. All of them are so tired and sweaty that they can catch up with actual combat.

After blinking, Li Jun called his soldiers: "What's going on?"

The private soldier was not surprised: "This is the group of private soldiers brought by the envoy. They have been training for several days. Before dawn, they will line up and go out of the camp. They will be dragged out and run for several miles. When they come back, they will occupy the school grounds." , I'm afraid it won't end until Chenshi."

In the past few days, Li Jun often slept until the sun was up, how did he know this?However, the borrowers have already settled down, and the leader of the team is a miscellaneous general of the same level as himself, so it is difficult to stop him.But why is General Yi so desperate?He remembered that during the day, this group of people also had to do the work of guarding the farmers and rectifying the refugees. Aren't they afraid that they would be too tired and make their subordinates rebel?

Curiosity arose in his heart, Li Jun straightened his clothes and walked towards the school grounds.General Na Yi is tall and has a very unusual appearance, so it is not difficult to find him.It was only when he got closer that Li Jun realized that there were still a few people around Yiyan, weren't they just a few groups of captains under his command?

Mei Feng frowned, and Li Jun cleared his throat: "General Yi, have you come out to practice so early?"

Yiyan turned around and cupped his hands to apologize: "I've disturbed General Li."

Li Jun smiled and waved his hands: "The school field is empty and empty, General Yi can use it anyway. It's just that we have to practice now, can you guys live?"

"Being a soldier is fighting. It's better to practice now than die in battle." Yi Yan said lightly.

That's what he said, but Li Jun felt a little harsh when he heard it.However, this Yi man has always been deserted, and he looks like a warrior at first glance, so it's hard to find fault.

With a smile, Li Jun said: "It's better for the governor to manage the army well. Brothers should learn more later...Tian Yu, why are you here?"

Tian Yu was Li Jun's lieutenant, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "General Qi, we have nothing to do in the morning, so we came to see General Yi practice..."

Li Jun snorted: "Don't disturb others, you guys, follow me."

With that said, Li Jun bowed his hands to Yi Yan again: "General Yi continues to be busy, let's go first."

Yiyan nodded, but did not send him away, and went on to train his own soldiers.

With a few restless subordinates, Li Jun returned to the barracks, sat down cross-legged with a bang, and scolded: "You guys are so courageous, do you want to make friends with that surnamed Yi? Didn't take office?!"

Before the governor arrived, Li Jun would never have had close contacts with Liang Cishi's henchmen.So living in the barracks together, he didn't talk to Yiyan much, just nodded his acquaintance.I never thought that these guys under my command would run to join in the fun first.

Several people knelt down immediately, Tian Yu bowed his head and said: "General, we have no intention of making friends, just to see how the private soldiers under the envoy's command are doing. This Yi, really cannot be underestimated!"

"Oh?" Li Jun scratched his short beard, "What do you see?"

"Yi Boyuan was promoted from a white body to a general in just two years. It is said that he is invincible in all battles, and he is the leader of the Shangdang army..." Tian Hou paused, "And Linghu Yuanjun also followed him People have had close contacts, and it is said that many victories are due to his blessing."

Li Jun's expression immediately became serious: "Linghu's status has risen so fast, is it because of this Yi?"

"Well. It seems that Yi Boyuan has joined forces in every battle. When General Linghu was in Jinyang, he never won a battle, but when he was with the Shangdang soldiers, he was never defeated!" Tian Xun emphasized his tone.

This is probably the governor's intention to promote that boy Linghu Kuang.Li Jun didn't react slowly, and immediately woke up.Wait, so, isn't Yiyan a good partner who doesn't compete for success?If he went to battle with him, Shijun Liang would more or less promote others and use them for his own use.This is an extremely rare conduct.Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see Shangguans who are greedy for merit. How can they suppress their own arrangements and share credit with others?

But what if it is true?I was born and died, and I was just trying to get some leftovers left by the Shangguan, but following the governor of Liang, just like Linghu Kuang, he made great contributions and moved to a high position without worrying about being dragged down by his allies. What a wonderful thing!

Wait a minute, with a shudder in his heart, Li Jun shook his head: "Perhaps the envoy's re-use of Linghu Kuang is for the sake of strengthening the general. How can Linghu be considered a big family, how can it be compared to us humble soldiers?"

Li Jun didn't have any prominent net worth, so even if he was promoted to a miscellaneous general, he still had to stay in the barracks to defend the city.If he changed to a noble family, he would have already had a beautiful maidservant in a mansion, and he would be too happy to miss Shu.If it is this identity that Shijun values, what does it have to do with them?

Tian Yu snorted: "The general doesn't know about this, and the last general has also inquired. Wu Ling, who is now guarding the city of Huguan, was also single-handedly promoted by the envoy. He is also of average wealth, and he has jumped several grades in two years. Now they are able to guard such an important town as Huguan. This Liang Shijun really doesn’t care about family differences!"

This news is much more important than others.Is there such a superior?There must be, but it's rare to come across.Unless you are a titan like Zhang Fang, who should not be careful about flattery in order to seek security?What's more, winning a battle is not easy. They defended the city so hard, and it was Yiyan and Linghu Kuang who led the troops to break the siege of Jinyang.

In this way, he can fight without fighting for merit, and there is a guy with a big backer, it seems that he can really make friends.

Not thinking about the governor anymore, Li Jun pondered for a moment, and said: "General Yi has been in the barracks for a few days, and it's not good to always be negligent. Why don't we invite you to a banquet tonight? You don't need to go outside, just recruit in the camp." It's good to have a few campers to accompany you."

This is a very safe way.Not only has he established a relationship with others, but he will not spread it out.How can others know what happened in the camp?It's just that I don't know if Yi Boyuan will dislike him.

Tian Yu was overjoyed, and immediately said: "The last general will ask!"

He also worked his way up little by little, and he didn't know how long he would last if he wanted to be a general.Wouldn't it be an advantage if he could vote for the governor with the officer?Not daring to neglect, he immediately turned around and went out the door.

Yiyan is still guarding the school grounds, so he is not surprised to see Tian Hou who has gone and returned.Hearing what he said about his visit, he quickly agreed.Looking at Tian Hou's cheerful back, Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.These days, Jinyang's guards are watching him, and he is also watching these middle-level generals.Li Jun is a man who dares to fight, and he also made a lot of contributions when defending the city.It's a pity that the status is low and not taken seriously.The future of these generals under his command is even more bleak.

Such a person is the best to win over.What's more, Tian Yu is extremely curious about all kinds of military training, and he doesn't seem like a person who is willing to be poor.With himself, Wu Ling, and Linghu Kuang as examples, how could he give up?Once you come and go, you will have a relationship.Yiyan has never been very interested in going to a banquet.But for the sake of the big plan, why not go?

The sun was setting and the moon was rising, and soon it was time for the banquet.After Yiyan packed up, he brought only two personal guards and came to Li Jun's barracks.In the room, the banquet has been prepared long ago, and there are five or six battalions waiting on it.As a general, Li Jun naturally has the qualifications to recruit camp prostitutes to accompany him, and these girls are also among the most beautiful in the camp, so they are pretty good at it.

"General Yi is here! Please take a seat!" Li Jun greeted warmly despite his indifference in the past few days.

After Yi Yan thanked him, he just took his seat, and there was a charming prostitute beside him naturally and considerately.However, I don't know if it's because of the difference in his face, the female prostitute's attitude was a little stiff, and she served the wine and dishes carefully, not daring to get too close.

Yiyan naturally didn't take her seriously: "Thanks to the general's invitation, I also prepared some bouillon from Shangdang, and gave it to the general to taste."

Unexpectedly, such a cold-faced guy could be courteous, and Li Jun laughed: "What kind of general are you calling me! I am a few years older than my good brother, so I might as well call him a brother! This Shangdang porcelain is famous all over the world, and I never thought of giving it back. Produce wine, pour it quickly!"

The wine is indeed good wine, it is newly brewed by the Liang Mansion, it is delicious and mellow, a bit purer and stronger than usual grain wine.Jinyang has been trapped for a year, how can there be such good wine? !Li Jun exclaimed: "My dear brother, if this is thin wine, I'm afraid I'll drink it all for my brother!"

Yiyan raised his glass and took a sip: "I still have a lot of this kind of wine. If Brother Li likes it, I'll send it to you later."

"Haha, I didn't expect this meal to be exchanged for such a good wine. If I knew it would be like this, I should have invited it a few days ago!" Li Jun laughed loudly, and put his arms around the female prostitute beside him, "It's just that my brother is living a life like this." I'm too cautious, and I don't see drinking and having fun, why, don't you like the women in Jinyang City?"

Yiyan glanced at the prostitute with a stiff smile from the corner of his eyes, and said calmly: "Your envoy is here for the first time, and there are still many important things to deal with, so there is no time for leisure."

Li Jun raised his eyebrows: "Liang Shijun's frequent tricks really amazed the brothers. With such a history of assassination, Bingzhou is just around the corner... It's just that the Huns are still in the back and back, brother Yu, I also guarded the city for a year People, every time I think of it, I have lingering fears. How can I be so brave and invincible like my brother!"

"Brother Li is absurd. I am just following the order of the envoy." Yi Yan put down the cup in his hand, "Thinking that I was a slave of the Liang family, who grew up from scratch, so I am not the envoy's support. Only when the envoy can be reused It is a lifelong benefit.”

Yiyan is cold-faced, but when he talks about Governor Liang, he is extremely solemn, and his loyalty is beyond words.Li Jun's heart twitched slightly, it seemed that what Tian Yan had discovered before was not false.As long as it is important to win the governor of Liang, it is a trivial matter to get promoted and make a fortune. Regardless of Yiyan, a mere Jie slave can be promoted to general, why not?

Feeling moved in his heart, Li Jun murmured: "Your Majesty Liang is a great talent, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up to you. Alas, I'm ashamed to say, how old is my elder brother, now brother Yu is just a miscellaneous general, I'm afraid it will be difficult Then go in..."

"Brother Li, why do you want to belittle yourself? At the beginning, Linghu Sanlang rescued Jun from prison, and now he is also promoted to General Zhechong? Brother Li has made great achievements by sticking to Jinyang for a year." Yi Yan replied casually.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Kuang was rescued from prison by Liang Zixi!Li Jun was also taken aback, and was even more excited.What does this mean, could it be that Mr. Liang can use them?

With a dry cough, Li Jun rubbed his short beard: "So, Brother Yu is still useful?"

"Jinyang has just been rescued from the siege, and the war in Bingzhou is still ongoing. There are many opportunities to make contributions." Yiyan didn't answer directly, but the meaning in the words was clear enough.

The big rock in Li Jun's heart suddenly loosened, this is a joke!As soon as he took the case, he said with a smile: "I just like straightforward people like Brother Xian! Come on, don't talk about business today, just drink and drink!"

With his words, the companions immediately tried to persuade them to drink.Yiyan would not refuse anyone who came, so he also drank with them.He wouldn't get drunk after drinking four or five jars of this kind of wine, so it's better to have a relationship with these people.With such an attitude, the atmosphere of the banquet is naturally high.

After being stared at several times by the sisters above, the timid prostitute sitting next to Yiyan finally mustered up the courage to soften her body and want to lean on Jiehu.Unexpectedly, before he touched anyone, a hand holding a wine glass blocked the front.

"Full."

The cold blue eyes that couldn't be soaked by alcohol looked over, and the prostitute shuddered, and immediately sat up straight, and continued to pour the wine in a proper manner.Yiyan ignored the woman, turned his head, and continued drinking with the others.

The night is getting darker.

On the Xing road leading to Bingzhou, a group of soldiers will be on their way at night.

"General, in half an hour, we will be able to reach the pass ahead." Some relatives came to report.

Sitting in the carriage, a man with a handsome face and a fine attire urged: "Hurry up, within three days, you must arrive at Jinyang! Time is not waiting for me!"

The follower did not dare to disobey, bowed his head and said yes.The team, which had been exhausted all day, immediately moved a little faster and headed for the distant hinterland of Bingzhou.
