Fufeng Song

Chapter 137

() "Brother Longcheng, please!"

"Brother Daoming, please!"

Lu Yao and Murong Longcheng smiled and greeted each other as they walked forward, like old acquaintances who have not seen each other for a long time.

The camp named "Warrior's Fort" is a completely military fortress, so it was built without any visual or ceremonial considerations.The distance from the Yuanmen to the Chinese army is not very long, but the road that is Zhang Xukuan is divided into several sections by the newly built stone walls, and there are always several detours along the way.After a group of people walked a few steps, the queue gradually lengthened.

Lu Yao and Murong Longcheng were the representatives of both host and guest, so they were naturally at the forefront.The two of them walked a little faster, about halfway, they stopped and waited for the rest of the people.Followed by Wen Qiao and Shao Xu.Wen Qiao's position is higher than that of Lu Yao, and he is an official envoy appointed by Yue Shi Gong, so it should be treated more solemnly.But he has always been restrained, especially in the military camp, he will never steal the show, so he walks in the second row.Shao Xu is Lu Yao's staff member and a celebrity in Wei County, so he happens to be with him.

Behind these two are generals such as Ding Miao, Xue Tong, and Liu Xia.Ding Miao was slapping Xue Tong on the back vigorously, laughing and saying something.Lu Yao hurriedly turned around and continued walking. Ding Miao must have been praising Xue Tong for his brave actions just now. With Ding's unscrupulous character, maybe a word would make Murong Longcheng furious, or he would be killed. It's better to take it far away.

In this way, Lu Yao no longer looked closely at the queue further behind.In fact, even if he didn't look at it, he still knew how the queue would be formed.

It has been less than a month since the departure from Yecheng.In this short period of time, the power that Lu Yao can control has expanded unimaginably.At the same time, subordinates from different sources vaguely formed different factions.

The former members of the Beggar Army who were also from Bingzhou were very close to Lu Yao, Xue Tong, Shen Jin and other old members of the Bingzhou Army. Reserved.Ji Sangjiang, who fought in the north and south of the river for many years but failed in the end, seemed out of tune with the begging soldiers.There are also the Hu warriors with the largest number. Their original ethnic group and blood relationship are inextricably linked. Although Lu Yao intends to sever the connection between the soldiers and the tribe, it is not a one-day achievement... Hu'ers will always Get closer to each other.

The division of people into factions is just an appearance, and it is inevitable that each has his own mind.The former members of the begging army look forward to returning to Bingzhou one day and gaining a better future.The members of Ji Sang Jiang only need money and rewards, and whoever fights is not fighting; but their leaders, such as Liu Fei and Chen Pei, who used to be under the tent of the Chengdu King, are quite scheming.The minds of the Hu'ers are relatively simple, but those tribal commanders are undoubtedly a greedy and extremely unreliable group of people.The killings in the past ten months can deter them for a while, but it is not enough to guarantee their loyalty for a long time.

In comparison, Lu Yao's subordinates when he was in Bingzhou had much simpler ideas.They just want to live, kill barbarians, kill more barbarians, and avenge their loved ones.Now these people... are really different.

Leading such a group of subordinates, facing the malicious Northland tycoons outside of Dai County, is like wielding a crisp and cracked wooden stick to contend with a beast.It must be known that the Duan Department is powerful in Youzhou, and its leader has a son-in-law friendship with Youzhou Inspector Wang Jun, who was recently appointed by the imperial court as a general of hussars and governor of the military forces of Dongyi in Hebei.Since Lu Yao seized Dai County, he had already turned against Duan Bu, so if Wang Jun and Peng Zu made a follow-up move, who would take it?After the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony, the safety of Tuoba Yi Lu, an important ally of Liu Kun, governor of Bingzhou, was uncertain. Whether Tuoba Xianbei would still be loyal to the court was still unknown. Was Liu Kun really willing to compete with Wang Jun for Daijun?What's more, at that time, why would Lu Yao, who is a general of Bingzhou, not stay in the Youzhou territory?The strength of Daijun's seven thousand riders may seem majestic, but people with insight can actually understand that Lu Yao is like sitting on an iceberg that may melt at any time to show off his might.

Lu Yao looked at Murong Longcheng beside him.

As he walked, the head of the Changshan army concentrated on observing the buildings in the camp and the soldiers coming and going, seeming to be interested.

Lu Yao knew very well that he couldn't hide the predicament he was facing from Murong Longcheng.This has been the case for thousands of years on the grasslands. The tribes are booming and dying. The difficulty is not rising, but how to face a more complex environment after rising, and how to maintain the hearts of the tribes.Perhaps Murong Longcheng was in the mood of watching a good show, speculating on how he would take the next step when he suddenly captured Daijun.It can even be inferred that Murong Longcheng finally chose to support himself during the battle by the Qiyi River, which is also related to this.Obviously, Lu Yao, who can't stay in Daijun for a long time and can't control his subordinates' thoughts, is much easier to deal with than the old fox of Tuoba Luguan.

Fortunately, Lu Yao had already made preparations for this.Just today, right now, he has full confidence to completely control the situation.

Following the walking direction, the terrain of the camp gradually rose, and the highest point was where the Chinese army was located.There, the line of sight can easily cross the inner and outer walls of the village and overlook the grasslands in the distance.There is a majestic locust tree on the high ground that has not been cut down, and the canopy-like crown covers a large area of ​​greenery.

Since it was first established in Daying, all kinds of furnishings were very simple, so Lu Yao decided to set today's meeting place in the open air, which also avoided many red tapes in inviting guests to the meeting in the Central Plains.On the whole, although it does not conform to the ancient etiquette, it is difficult to show a grand atmosphere, but it is in line with Hu'er's heroic temperament.

At this time, the arranged servants waited diligently to guide everyone to their seats.The seats on the east and west wings are lined up with wild goose wings, and the generals of the Gongjin Army and the commander of the Hu tribe sit opposite each other, both of which are painted with black lacquer.There are four seats in the center, with red lacquer tables and a beautiful screen behind it, to set off the noble status of the people in the seats.

Everyone thought that these four seats belonged to Murong Longcheng, Lu Yao, Wen Qiao, and Ding Miao.After all, the former is a guest, while the latter three are all two thousand stone officials, and they have the highest positions among the people present.Unexpectedly, Ding Miao took the initiative to sit at the top of the general school, giving up Zhong Yang's seat.

Murong Longcheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Wen Qiao, but saw that Wen Qiao also looked inexplicable.But looking at Lu Yao's expression, it was quite reasonable, and it didn't seem that the arrangement was improper: "General Lu? Are there any other distinguished guests here today?"

"Exactly!" Lu Yao smiled.He strode into the crowd, grabbed someone's arm, and invited him out.This man was dressed in strong attire with a crimson suit on the outside. Although he was dressed as an official, he showed a resolute warrior demeanor.Lu Yao said in a loud voice: "Brother Longcheng, it is rare that the heroes of Dai County gather together today, and let me introduce you to General Wang Dewang. This General Wang is the confidant's supervisor of His Royal Highness King Donghai. In the past, When he was in Bingzhou, he fought side by side with Lao Xue and me, and he was also Lu's benefactor."

"Brother Wang! It's you?" Before Lu Yao finished speaking, Xue Tong shouted in surprise.Isn't this big man who was invited by Lu Yao to be the leader of the powerful guard of the county lord Jingling, the daughter of the king of the East China Sea, the Wang De who once fought against the enemy side by side with them on Taihang Mountain?

After the imperial army's disastrous defeat in Bingzhou Daling last year, Lu Yao, Xue Tong, and others who fled to the Taihang Mountains happened to meet the Jingling County Lord who was also in a dilemma in the Taihang Mountains.At that time, Lu Yao fell into a coma and was almost killed by a thief, but it was Wang De who saved his life.Afterwards, the group ran hand in hand, met Hu Liuniang from Funiuzhai along the way, uncovered the Huns' Neiying Weixuan, and defeated Xiang Fei, a thief who tried to hijack the county lord.Although it was only a few days, many ups and downs happened, so Xue Tong was very impressed with Wang De.

Xue Tong and Wang De met each other from old times, so they naturally had a conversation.It's just that the occasion is not right now, the two of them slapped each other's arms a few times and then dispersed.Wang De came in such an emergency that even Lu Yao's subordinates did not know that such an envoy came to Daijun.Only then did Lu Yao pull Wang De, and he introduced everyone who was qualified to be seated.

After the round of entertainment was over and everyone took their seats, Lu Yao said in a deep voice, "This time, General Wang came from Yecheng day and night, and read to me the order of His Royal Highness the King of the East Sea to me at the same time... "As he spoke, he cupped his hands and signaled to Wang De: "General Wang has come from afar to work hard, and Lu will greet the wind with water and wine, and talk about respect."

What kind of character is Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea?That is the leader of the Fang Township in the Liuzhou of Hebei, Youqing, Yanxu, and the prince of the clan, who is in charge of the Luoyang government and is in charge of worship.Compared with the status of everyone present here at this moment, it is like a firefly to Haoyue.Although Wang De's official position is no more than a superintendent, but just because he came here on behalf of the king of the East China Sea, it is enough to make people awe-inspiring in this remote place.

Hearing what Lu Yao said, everyone hurriedly toasted together, even Murong Longcheng... Although he grinned, he was no exception.As soon as a glass of wine was poured down the throat, those who reacted quickly were already guessing: the king of the East China Sea has an order for Lu Yao?What will it be?

But Lu Yao continued solemnly: "General Wang, please read the decree in public, can you?"

"Okay!" Wang De replied in a deep voice, and took the tightly wrapped document from Lu Yao's hand:

"The order said: Lu Yao, a talented man in Bingzhou, is a chastity judge, and his achievements are accomplished. He is like a collection of righteous disciples. It is rugged and dangerous. The battle of Daijun was a matter of opportunity. He stood upright and followed the strategy. The sound of gold resonated outside the territory. Jing Guanghe is superior to Qianghu. Since it should be done by relatives and sages, it is advisable to assign the importance of Shanxi. He can be appointed as General Yingyang, Daijun Taishou, and supervises the military affairs of Dai, Guangning, and Shanggu. as before."

Wang De's voice is thick and full of energy.And the content of the decree he read out surprised everyone even more.

General Ying Yang!

Daijun Taishou!

The military of Jiandai, Guangning, and Shanggu counties!

Lu Yao's attack to replace the county was a rare event in the Jin Dynasty in the past few decades, regaining the territory from Hu'er, so many subordinates believed that this move might be rewarded by Yue Shigong.Some people also believe that this move is an expedient measure to deal with Tuoba Xianbei's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. How effective it is depends on the result of the Tuoba clan's two power struggles. Turn a blind eye to the noisy scene.

No one thought that the Yue Shigong of Jinyang hadn't responded yet, and the court had already given such a generous reward... Of course, the order of the King of the East China Sea is not an imperial decree, but this prince has the right to inherit and worship. Most of the shepherds who come to various places are from the sect, and their edicts are not too different from the imperial edicts, at most they need to make up a formality.

With this appointment, Lu Yao has jumped from a local general under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou to a court official with both civil and military resources.From a certain point of view, it can even be compared with Wang Jun of Youzhou and Liu Kun of Jinyang.

This appointment also enabled Lu Yao to take over the military and political power of Daijun in a legitimate way. Whether it is Duanbu or Tuoba Xianbei, unless he is determined to kill officials and rebel, there is no possibility of competing with them.At the same time, Lu Yao can also intervene in the two adjacent counties of Guangning and Shanggu, with a sphere of influence extending thousands of miles from east to west, becoming an out-and-out power in northern Xinjiang!

Wang De closed the document with a snap, and handed it back to Lu Yao with both hands.

At the same time, the sound of many people gasping for air-conditioning almost gathered into the wind, whistling over the high slope.

Moments later, it was unknown who started it, dozens of people got up together, and some of them moved so violently that they kicked down the desk in front of them.These generals and tribal commanders with different backgrounds looked at each other, and then bowed down and shouted: "Congratulations, General Lu! Congratulations, General Lu!"

******

In fact, it is absolutely impossible for Sima Yue to seal Lu Yao as General Yingyang, because this position is the plus sign of Sima Yue's dead father, Sima Tai, King of Gaomi, when he was appointed governor of Yanzhou... But the crab really likes the position of General Yingyang, it sounds very Awesome, how are you readers?
