Chapter 71 Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang
During breakfast, Lai Hu'er's family had a meal alone in the yard. Lai Hu'er told his wife that Liulang and Shubao went to the north. "Yi Feng took the initiative to ask Liulang and Shubao to go north, and Liulang and Shubao were willing to go by themselves, so I have agreed."
"Didn't you say that there will be war in Liaodong soon?" Lai Lai brought a piece of ham strip for Lai Ji Laiheng each of his two youngest sons Lai Ji Laiheng, and put it in their porridge bowl. The two little guys were drinking the porridge like a match.
Silang Laihong taught his two younger brothers a lesson in disapproval: "The nobles' children will not make a sound when eating, like a pig." He broke apart a piece of drinking cake and picked up a piece of mutton inside.
"Brother Six, is Liaodong fun? I want to go too!" The two little guys ignored the fourth brother at all, and instead rushed to Liulang. "I heard that Liaodong is full of ice and snow all year round, right?"
Lai Liulang smiled at his two young brothers, and then replied to his mother: "My son has been thought about it. His son has grown up and wants to make a career. Now Mr. Yi invites him, and he thinks this is an opportunity. Besides, there is also Shubao who will go north with me this time, so there is no need to worry."
The Sui Dynasty had the most military achievements and the most expensive Guanlong Group in the court, which was founded in the Wuchuan Army during the Northern Wei Dynasty. For several dynasties, they would start with military achievements. The nobles basically started from the army. Although the Lai family was not a member of the Guanlong Group, they were also a military general in the court. The Lai family was originally from Jiangnan and had a deep foundation. Lai Liulang had twelve brothers, and it was not his turn to inherit the family business in the future. Moreover, Lai Liulang was not actually the legitimate son of Lai Lai, but the concubine gave birth to a concubine. In terms of status, it was not as good as these two young brothers. He had to make plans early, and Ling Yun was the one he thought was worth following.
Although Lai Liulang is not his own biological child, Lai still loves Liulang very much. "Liulang, you have figured it out. In fact, if you are with your father, in a few years, you can recommend it to the court with your father's title and official position, so that you can enter the government with your family and enter any of the imperial guards in the inner palace even at the lowest level. This Young Master Yi is just an illegitimate son whom the King of Jin saw. Now the situation in Liaodong is tense, and wars happen at any time. It is really dangerous to go to Liaodong."
"I think Yi Sanlang is worthy of trust. Besides, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and have wars on the frontier. It is just right to use my skills to exchange for fame and fortune. How can I avoid it?"
Lai Hu'er nodded with appreciation, "Liu Lang said it well, and it is worthy of being my son of Lai Hu'er. Young people are just like this, young and energetic and passionate. I think that I was like this when I was a father. If I had no passion at all, how could I dare to kill my enemies? If I were afraid of hardships, how could I join the Sui army? Now, my position as the chief executive and the Duke of the County Duke have fought back from one sword and one gun battle. Since Liu Lang has already considered it, there is no need to say more about it. Yi Feng, a man who has been observing for a long time, feels that this man is steady, decisive, and has a broad friendship. He is a good person. Looking at the generals of the King of Jin's mansion around him, it is obvious that the King of Jin still values him very much. You follow Yi Feng north to the north. This time, Shu Bao will go with you. He is steady, so you can listen to his opinions more."
"Yes, father." Lai Liulang smiled.
"You go and call Shubao over for breakfast together, I will explain to him a few words." Lai Hu'er said, and Liulang quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand and strode out of the yard.
In Erxian Village, a large group of guests were chatting, and some were competing with each other. Liulang and Shubao walked through the crowd and found Lingyun in front of the small river passing by the village at the entrance of the village. Lingyun was washing the dried and clumping mud for the little wolf gray wind. However, the little wolf seemed a little unhappy, twisting and constantly shaking his body, splashing water droplets on Lingyun.
Next to each wolf and a man, there was a group of children. They were very curious about the little wolf, but they did not dare to approach and watched from a distance.
"Whose children are these?" Lai Liulang was a little surprised.
"There are children from all over the house, and the two of your family are there too." Ling Yun said with a smile. Sure enough, Lai Liu saw Lai Ji and Lai Heng hiding behind among the group of children.
Ling Yun liked these children very much. He had chatted with these children for a while and almost found out their details. Two of them were Shiyilang and Shierlang who came to Huer. Although these two kids were still just Xiao Zhengtai, Ling Yun had a very impression of them, because in history, these two little kids surpassed their fathers in the future and became prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, children of the military generals, and eventually became prime ministers. It was indeed a good story at that time. Among the twelve sons of Laihuer, Lai Liulang was the most famous, and then these Shiyilang and Shierlang, who later became prime ministers. The other sons had little reputation.
In addition to these two future prime ministers, all of these children are of extraordinary origin.
The oldest one is a girl, who is already seven years old this year. The name Dou Hongseong is Dou Jiande's daughter. Ling Yun had figured it out yesterday. Dou Jiande seemed to be in his thirties, but in fact he was only twenty-five years old. Unexpectedly, he already had a seven-year-old daughter. The girl is very sensible. Among these children, she is obviously a big sister. The group of little kids are all her only. A three-year-old girl in Hongseong's hand is Shan Xiongxin's daughter Ailian. This guy is only seventeen, but his daughter is three years old, which makes people admire his precocious maturity. However, what surprised Ling Yun the most was the other four children. When he just got a few names, he couldn't believe it.
Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Su Lie!
The four little kids with runny noses and horns actually have four such loud names, how can Ling Yun not be surprised?
Among the four little guys, Cheng Yaojin is the oldest, and is ten years old this year, followed by Su Lie, seven years old, Luo Shixin, five years old, and Xu Shiji is four years old.
The four powerful generals of the Sui and Tang dynasties were all squatting behind Ling Yun, staring at the little wolf Huifeng with curiosity. Where could they tell that these guys will shine in the future. Are they a famous general?
He once thought that these children were just a reunion with the famous generals in the future, but after careful inquiry, he had confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person. These little kids are the four famous generals in the future.
Xu Shiji arrived at Erxianzhuang early this morning, like his son Xu Gai. Xu Gai was from Lihu, Caozhou, east of Huazhou. His family was the richest man in the state, just like the Shan family. Xu Gai's family had many servants and accumulated thousands of minutes of grain. This was also a kind and generous person who often helped the poor, regardless of their close ties. Historically, Xu Gai later became the title of King of Jiyin by his son, and refused to accept the emperor and was also named Duke Shu. Because he had a very impressive son, Xu Gai Ben
He was not very conspicuous. However, Xu Shiji was so great, but in fact he had many relationships with Xu Gai. As the richest man in Caozhou, Xu Gai was an important landlord on the surface, but in fact he was a secret partner of the Shan family in Huazhou for many years. He was in charge of the sales of Green Forests and made money every day, so he was called the richest man in Caozhou. Because of this relationship, later Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin and others rebelled, Xu Shiji came to help him resolutely, and thus the later famous general Li Ji was born.
However, at this time, Li Ji was still called Xu Shiji, just four years old.
Yi Sanlang, the acting leader of the Yanshan Tiger Alliance, arrived at Erxianzhuang. The news spread quickly on the road in Henan. Caozhou Lihu Xujiazhuang, not far from Huazhou, received the news immediately. Xu Gai and Shan Xiongxin secretly operated a green forest transaction. They have always had close relationships with Henan Green Forest, but also had a close relationship with Hebei Green Forest. The business of the Xu family of the Tiger Alliance also often had contacts. After Lingyun arrived at Erxianzhuang, and the news that the Tiger Alliance had temporarily become the leader of the Tiger Alliance came from Shan Xiongxin, Xu Gai had to pay great attention. After receiving the news, he immediately rushed to Erxianzhuang and came overnight. The transaction of the green forest in the north is larger than that of Henan Green Forest, especially the green forest organizations active on the border like the Tiger Alliance, which secretly grasped the smuggling route. The business cooperation here is extremely great, and Xu Gai could not ignore it.
At that time, Xu Gai had several customers in the village, and they were all business friends, so he came here together.
These friends are Cheng Lou, the great governor of Jeju, who is the father of Cheng Yaojin. The Cheng family is also a wealthy family in Jeju. He served in Northern Qi for generations. Cheng Yaojin's great-grandfather was Sima of Yanzhou, Northern Qi, his grandfather was Sima of Jinzhou, and his father Cheng Lou was the great governor of Jeju after entering the Sui Dynasty. Although his official position was not obvious, the Cheng family was in Jeju and had a large number of land and houses. In history, when the late Sui Dynasty was in chaos, Cheng Yaojin had organized many rural brave men to protect the people. Cheng Lou and Zhai
The two are all local snakes. They are both black and white. The family is strong and has an official position. At the same time, they secretly run underground business with Xu Gai and others. This is one link in this underground interest chain. Friends similar to Cheng Lou, there is another one who comes with Xu Gai this time, that is Su Yong, Yizhou, Hebei. The Su Yong family is also a great wealthy family in Yizhou. The local power is strong and it is one link in the interest chain of the Shan family. Su Yong is the father of Su Lie.
Su Lie later used his name to be called Su Dingfang. He was a famous general who was not famous in the early Tang Dynasty but was radiant in the era of Emperor Gaozong. He destroyed the Three Kingdoms and captured the Three Kingdoms. He was a true disciple of the famous general Li Jing, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. In history, this general was not from the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, but always had to go against the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Su Lie joined his father Su Yong to organize a village to protect the village and rebelled. Su Lie took the battle at the age of fifteen, destroyed the front and fell into battle, and was extremely brave. He defeated Zhang Jincheng, the leader of the Hebei chaos army, and Yang Gongqing and others. Later, his father died in battle. The situation was in chaos and the rebellion became more and more powerful. He had to defect to him.
The rebel Dou Jiande. Under Dou Jiande, Su Lie performed outstandingly and made contributions in every battle. When Dou Jiande died, he followed Liu Heita to continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty until he was finally defeated in Hebei and then returned to his hometown to study and live in seclusion. It was not until Li Shimin ascended the throne that he was re-elected by the court. Later, he was attracted by Li Jing and was ordered to train elite special battle soldiers in Hebei, and finally led this elite force to defeat the Turkic tent with Li Jing. Su Dingfang's life was a legend, and he was a bit late to achieve success. He galloped on the battlefield for decades, attacking Jie Li in the north, destroying the Turkic in the west, pacifying Baiji in the east, and conquering Tubo in the south, and traversing thousands of miles. "Destroying the three kingdoms in the front and back, and capturing their lords alive." The countries in the Western Regions were shocked and surrendered.
Such a legendary general happened to follow his father to Erxianzhuang. Now he squatted aside no differently than an ordinary child, smearing his nose while looking at the little wolf. He wanted to go forward and touch it for a few times, but hesitated to go forward.
Alas, if Ling Yun hadn't been a time traveler, who would have believed that this little brat would be so dazzling in the future?
Next to Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji and Su Lie, Luo Shixin was squatting.
Five-year-old Luo Shixin.
Luo Shixin is from Qizhou and is a fellow villager with Qin Qiong. However, he did not know Qin Qiong at this time, and he also came with his father. Luo Shixin's father was not a partner of Xu Gai and Shan Xiongxin, and at most he could only be regarded as a tail end of this chain of interests. He relied on Xu Gai's relationship and reselled some goods and made some money. This time he visited Xu Gai in Xujiazhuang and followed him.
Who would have thought that there would be two prime ministers, four generals, a daughter of an emperor and a daughter of a general in the future?
While avoiding the little wolf's shaking water droplets, Ling Yun was wondering whether he should catch all these eight children in one go?
