Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 44
...

"Master, the servants have something to say."

Hearing Liu Huiniang's words, a trace of nervousness flashed in Li Yan's eyes!
Yes!

Li Yan was worried about Liu Huiniang's talk!

Others don't know Liu Huiniang's ability, and they only think that Liu Huiniang is a mentally handicapped girl who is at their mercy, but Li Yan knows that Liu Huiniang has the wisdom to level the waters and moor Liangshan!
It was precisely because Li Yan knew Liu Huiniang's abilities that Li Yan didn't want Liu Huiniang to speak up, because Li Yan didn't want to cause trouble!

Li Yan's nervousness was misunderstood by Wang Lun that Li Yan was worried that Liu Huiniang would say something that would make Li Yan unable to come to the stage.

Wang Lun immediately said "understanding": "My righteous sister is tired all the way, I'd better take a rest before talking to my brother in detail!"

After hearing Wang Lun's words, someone with a flexible heart immediately looked at Li Yan!

Li Yan nodded slightly.

These quick-minded people immediately asked Liu Huiniang to move!

Huangfu Duan's wife is also a smart person, she pulled Liu Huiniang and said, "Miss Liu, let's go first, their men still have important matters to discuss."

Liu Huiniang secretly said: "Talk about it later, it won't work!", and then she wanted to speak directly!
But Wang Lun didn't give Liu Huiniang a chance to speak at all, but said first: "Brother, let's go to the Juyi Hall first, and then we'll argue."

Li Yan nodded, then grabbed the arms of Yang Lin and Huangfu Duan respectively, and walked towards the Juyi Hall, saying: "Two brothers, try our good wine brewed in Liangshanbo!"

Over there, Huangfuduan's wife had already dragged Liu Huiniang away who was still shouting, "Village Master, if you don't listen to me, your Liangshan Park will be in great trouble!"
Except for Li Yan, no one would listen to Liu Huiniang, a woman of the generation—the status of women in the Song Dynasty was low, not to mention Liu Huiniang was a prisoner of war who "resisted in the corner"?

As for Li Yan, whether you say he is lustful or talented, in short, he will definitely decide on this woman Liu Huiniang!

……

Let's all go to the Juyi Hall together and burn a good incense.

All the leaders gave their salutes and refused to sit down for a long time. After Li Yan sat down as the head of the village, he said: "The two brothers Shi Qian and Tang Long went down the mountain to work for the village. They are not on the mountain. Sit in the first order of the year, and how much you will contribute in the future will be decided separately at that time."

As soon as Li Yan said this, the leaders reported their ages, and finally Huangfu Duan, the newcomer, was seated first on the left of Li Yan, Pei Xuan was first on the right of Li Yan, and second on the left of Li Yan The second is Guanghui, and Wang Lun only sits third on Li Yan's left.

After everyone was seated, the feast was celebrated, and everyone began to brag!
While everyone was drinking, Li Yan asked Huangfu Duan: "Brother Huangfu Duan, do you know how to domesticate Fei Nu?"

Although the breeding of carrier pigeons has a long history, because of the institutional development of carrier pigeons, firstly, it is limited by technology, and secondly, because people do not pay enough attention to it, so in the long river of history, the development of this "instant communication" means , still seems intermittent, and has not been fully rolled out on a large scale, so, for the vast majority, this is definitely a rarity.

Ruan Xiaoqi, who was very curious, asked, "Brother, what is this flying slave?"

Li Yan looked at Huangfuduan, hoping that Huangfuduan could answer this question!

Huangfu Duan said: "There is a kind of bird in the world, mostly gray and white, also with variegated colors, barefoot, six inches long, and weighs about a catty. To get the way home, some people use flying slaves to send messages across thousands of miles."

Speaking of this, Huangfu cupped his hands at Li Yan, and said: "The villain only understands a little, and has never really domesticated it. As far as the villain knows, the Zhenrong Qu family is best at this."

Li Yandao: "Zhen Rong Qu Family?"

Huangfu Duan said: "The Qu family of Zhenrong has been a general for generations, and Qu Huan, the leader of the previous generation, served as Dianzhi of the Zuo Ban, and died in the battle. The most outstanding person in the era is named Qu Duan. Professional, quick-witted and knowledgeable, good at writing articles, rich in military strategy..."

moment!

Li Yan remembered who this Qu Duan was!
Yue Fei was murdered by Qin Hui on trumped-up charges, everyone at the time complained about him, but he didn't know that before Yue Fei, there was also a general who died at his own hands, and everyone at the time complained about him, this person was the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Qu Duan.

Not long after the shame of Jingkang, Zhang Jun declared Fuchuan and Shanxi, and recruited heroes from the two places. Since Quduan had fought the enemy many times in Shaanxi, he planned to rely on his reputation and reputation, so he went to Quduan's defense area to inspect.

Unexpectedly, the barracks were empty!
Zhang Jun then asked where all the Quduan people went?

Qu Duan took out the roster and asked Zhang Jun: "Which army do you want to see?"

Zhang Jun felt very strange, so he casually pointed to Yijun.

Seeing this, Qu Duan unhurriedly opened the cage and released a flying slave.

Not long after Fei Nu flew away, the army rushed to the barracks fully armed.

Zhang Jun was very surprised, and said again: "I want to see your whole army!"

Hearing this, Qu Duan released all four remaining flying slaves from the cage.

Not long after, all the troops appeared in front of Zhang Jun!
Zhang Jun was dumbfounded, and then became overjoyed, and began to rely heavily on Qu Duan.

Of course, Zhang Jun and Qu Duan fell out later, and then Zhang Jun joined Qu Duan's general Wu Jie to kill Qu Duan.

History is complicated, and the intrigues of high-level political leaders are even more complicated. If you want to gain a foothold in the court, you can only become a tragic hero by relying on righteousness. The roles of traitorous and loyal ministers are constantly changing, which fully proves that the criteria for judging traitors and loyal ministers are completely dynamic and are determined according to political needs and backgrounds.To be able to get into the absolute top ranks, no one is a pure black figure without ability and contribution, and few people are pure white who can climb to the top and persist until the end in complex political competitions.Unless you don't enter this circle, you can't do without intrigue if you enter this circle.Flawlessness hardly survives in political circles.Maybe you can't accept this statement, it challenges your traditional cognition, but the reality is so cruel.

Therefore, Qu Duan, Zhang Jun, Wu Jie and the others are the national heroes, who are loyal ministers, and who are treacherous ministers. I will not make an evaluation here, nor can I evaluate them.

It's not about people here, it's about things.

From this incident, it is not difficult to see that Fei Nu has already served in Qu Duan's team, but Zhang Jun, a power minister who has repeatedly visited the front line to supervise the battle, has never seen Fei Nu. It was just a coincidence, and it was not promoted on a large scale.

Huangfuduan continued: "Zhenrong Qu's family has an ancestral technique of domesticating flying slaves, and there are excellent flying slaves. My brother may not know that the breed and bloodline of this flying slave are very important. Only the best flying slaves can fly for a long time. And it will not get lost, which is difficult for the flying slaves we capture ourselves."

Li Yan secretly said: "We have to find a way to get the art of raising pigeons and breed pigeons from the Qu family!"

Thinking of this, Li Yan naturally turned his attention to Zhu Fu who helped him bring Huangfu up the mountain and casually got him a Mrs. Yazhai...
