Uncle Wang Lang
In three days, I will arrange everything. He brought Dian Wei, the six guards, two hundred soldiers, and some gold, silver, and gifts out of the city. Seven days later, we arrived at Pill Sun County. Everyone and I went straight to the prefect's mansion. Zhou Xin quickly went out to welcome us. After entering the hall, I said to Zhou Xin,"These few days, you have to help the people harvest food and sort out the tax money. At the end of the year, I'll send someone to help you expand the city.”
"Thank you, Military Advisor. The soldiers that you sent over some time ago are very elite. I am confident that after Pill Sun City is expanded, even ten to twenty thousand rebel soldiers will come. I can also wait for reinforcements." Zhou Xin said to me seriously. "Oh! How did you know that there might be rebel soldiers coming?”I asked Zhou Xin with interest.
"I knew it just by looking at the soldiers you brought with you this time.”Zhou Xin smiled at me. "It's best if there's no need to fight. I'm just taking precautions. Be careful." I nodded to Zhou Xin.
As they were talking, a soldier came to report that a representative of the people had arrived. Zhou Xin and I went out to welcome him. A white-haired old man stepped forward and said,"On behalf of the people of Jinhua Village, this lowly one invites Lord Prefect to participate in the ceremony with us to welcome the harvest.”"This is our Wuyue Prefecture Overseer, Lord He, also known as Military Master He.”Zhou Xin introduced to the old man. "You're Military Master He? That's great. Since General He is here, why don't you come with us to participate in the ceremony?”The old man said happily.
"Good! Zhou Xin, let's go and pray for the people.”I turned around and said to Zhou Xin. "That's great. Milord, come with me.”The old man turned around and led the way. I asked Dian Wei and the six guards to wait at the prefect's manor. I went with Zhou Xin.
After walking for half a day, they arrived at Jinhua Village. When the villagers heard that I was here, they all came forward to take a look. After greeting everyone, I went to the place of worship. The altar had already been set up there. The old man walked to the middle and lit three incense sticks. He raised his head and said to the sky," Thank you, Wind God and Rain God, for bringing us a year of good weather. I lead the villagers to thank you."”After saying that, he bowed three times to the sky and went forward to stick incense sticks.
Then he turned around and said to me,"Thank you, Commander He and Governor Zhou, for taking care of us this year. This is the first time our village has had such a bumper harvest." I'm especially grateful to Lord He for reducing the tax by half. Now, our entire village has enough to eat.”After saying that, he knelt down before me. I quickly helped the old man up and turned to all the commoners."Thank you for your hard work this year. I hope that everyone will be able to reach a higher level next year and that life will become more and more prosperous. The five grains are abundant, and the children and grandchildren are full!"
" Thank you, Military Advisor!" Everyone expressed their gratitude. The old man stepped forward and said,"Now that the ceremony has ended, let's celebrate together tonight." After that, Zhou Xin and I were left to feast and drink for the night. That night, both of us were drunk. The next day, he returned to the county town. On the same day, I brought everyone out of Pill Sun County.
Five days later, we arrived at Wu County City. The city walls were filled with soldiers, and the city gates were filled with soldiers who were inspecting the city. When we arrived at the city gate, a pair of soldiers stopped us and said,"Who are you?" "My lord is Lord He, the Overseer of Wuyue Prefecture. Today, I am here to pay a visit to Lord Wang Lang.”Fan Da stepped forward and said.
"Ah, it's you. Soldiers, He Qi is here." When the officer heard Fan Da's words, he immediately shouted and called a large group of soldiers to surround us. Dian Wei took out his two halberds from his back and prepared to fight. I reached out to hold Dian Wei down and said,"Did you misunderstand? I'm only here to visit Governor Wang. If you don't report it, will you be able to bear the responsibility of causing two wars?”The officer lowered his head and thought for a moment. He turned around and said to a soldier behind him,"Go and report to the Mayor." The soldier flew into the city.
Two hours later, another large group of soldiers came out of the city. One of them was Wang Lang. He was wearing heavy armor. On the left is Yu Fan, on the right is Xu Gong and two generals I don't know. I stepped forward and said,"Uncle, I hope you're well. I wonder if there's any misunderstanding." Why did your soldiers draw their swords at me?”
"Nephew, you might not know, but I heard that there are many bandits nearby recently. That's why I ordered the soldiers to pay more attention. May I know why you are here?" Wang Lang said to me with a fake smile.
"Little nephew, because my father passed away some time ago, I have been feeling unwell. Recently, his body had recovered. That's why I came to visit uncle." I smiled faintly, and I spoke to Wang Lang with an indescribable confidence.
"Since you came to visit me, why did you bring so many soldiers?”Wang Lang said to me with a cold smile. "Many? However, there were only 200 people. They were all servants who brought gifts for Uncle. Did Uncle make a mistake?”I shook my head.
Wang Lang said a few words to Yu Fan, then said to me,""In that case! Nephew, give the gift to my soldier and come with me into the city to drink tea and chat.”"If I don't come out before midnight, bring your soldiers to Qu'a Harbor and ask for help. Ask Moling and Jian 'an to bring their troops here.”
"Yes, Military Advisor, be careful."”I shouted to the soldiers beside me," Pass the gifts to the surrounding Wu County soldiers. You guys wait here. I'll be back soon."”I nodded at Dian Wei and the two of us walked towards the city gate. "Lord He, who is the person beside you?”Xu Gong asked.
"It's just a personal guard. Is there a problem with General Xu?”I said as I looked at Xu Gong from the corner of my eye. "Of course not. I was just asking.”Xu Gong replied. When I arrived at the city gate, Wang Lang got off his horse and said to me under the protection of everyone,"Virtuous Nephew, take your time. I will first go to the residence to prepare a banquet.”"Thank you for taking care of me, Uncle. Please take care." I said to Wang Lang. Wang Lang left with his soldiers, leaving Yu Fan and Xu Gong at the door to walk with me.
The few of us entered the city. There were rows of soldiers standing on both sides of the street. However, some of the soldiers still nodded at me. I took a closer look and saw that they were all Wu County soldiers who had fought with me in the past. Behind the soldiers were many commoners of Wu County. When they saw me, they shouted," Hello, Military Master He!"
"Lord He, you are now famous all over the world. Even the people in our county praise you.”Yu Fan said to me with a smile. "I wouldn't dare. Naturally, I should serve the people. What's a little fame worth mentioning?”I said to Yu Fan as I opened my eyebrows and revealed a stern expression.
In a short while, they arrived at the prefect's manor. The prefect's manor was even more exaggerated, with every step they took, a sentry. Dian Wei, Yu Fan, and Xu Gong led us into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw that there were already banquets on both sides of the hall. Wang Lang was sitting at the table in the middle. I went forward to greet him,"My nephew He Qi greets uncle!"”"I wouldn't dare. I, Wang Lang, pay my respects to the Prefecture Overseer.”Wang Lang stood up and said to me. "Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. You're my savior!”I smiled at Wang Lang.
"Nephew, there's no need to take these small matters to heart. Please sit!" Wang Lang shook his head. "Uncle, please!" Under Xu Gong's guidance, I came to the seat on the left. Dian Wei knelt on one knee behind me. Next to me was a general I didn't know. Opposite him was Yu Fan, and beside him was an unknown general. "Come, everyone, let's welcome the Prefecture Overseer's visit and toast together.”Wang Lang was the first to speak, and everyone drank together.
"If it wasn't for uncle giving me a chance, I wouldn't have today's achievements. Come, let me toast uncle." I got up and said to Wang Lang. "You're too polite. I'm just asking my nephew to resolve the siege of Shouchun. He did not expect that his nephew would exterminate the entire Yellow Turban rebels in one go. He became the Prefecture Overseer of Wuyue, the General of the Military Division, and the Marquis of Jian An. That was truly a cause for celebration. Cheers!" Wang Lang finished a glass of wine in one gulp.
Then, the people around me also started drinking with me one by one. Not long after, we had already drunk several rounds. Wang Lang saw that it was about time and said to me,"Nephew, are you really here today to give gifts?”I smiled at Wang Lang and said,"That's right. Uncle Wu Jun has also ruled for many years before he can have today's prosperity. If uncle wants to retire and return to his hometown, write a letter to tell me. My nephew will certainly come to manage Wujun for my uncle.”
"Haha! Well said, I'm only forty-five years old this year. When I'm eighty years old, I'll definitely hand over Wu County to the state shepherd.”Wang Lang laughed and said to me. Then, everyone laughed together. I laughed along with them. The feast lasted for half a day. Seeing that it was about time, I stood up and said to Wang Lang,"Little nephew is young and can't hold his liquor. Farewell, Uncle." "Good! I won't send you off. I hope that you and I will write more letters in the future. You can also come here to visit me when you have time.”Wang Lang nodded. "Good! I understand, Uncle!" After I finished speaking to Wang Lang, I bid farewell with Dian Wei.
I didn't say a word along the way. Dian Wei raised his head a few times, wanting to say something to me, but I walked out of the city with a straight face. When I arrived at the city gate, I saw that the city gate was tightly shut. "It's getting late," one of the officers said to me."You must have the prefect's token to leave the city."”When Dian Wei heard this, he said,"How dare you! My lord is the Prefecture Overseer of Wu and Yue." You dare to stop me!" "I'm sorry, I'm just following orders. If there's anything, you can tell the prefect.”The small school replied. I stopped Dian Wei, who was about to flare up, and said to the colonel,"General, don't be inflexible. It won't be good if you go overboard. It's better for you to open the city gate. I don't believe that Governor Wang will offend me for a small school like you.”
Just as they were talking, a person rode a horse and said to the school,"The prefect has ordered! This is the token.”I raised my head and saw Yu Fan,""Thank you, Lord Yu Zhongxiang. No wonder all the scholars in Wu and Yue praised you. I hope that I can listen to your teachings in front of you next time.”After the school opened the city gate, Dian Wei and I left.
