Fufeng Song

Chapter 140 Epilogue

What Lu Yao said just now explained why he adopted such a tough policy in Dai County, but it failed to answer all Xue Tong's doubts.

Lu Yao, Ding Miao and other 30 Bingzhou warriors were ordered by Yue Shigong to go east to Taihang. It was originally to coordinate Jizhou and invite troops to deter Daijun in northern Xinjiang.However, Lu Yao actually directly attacked Dai County, what he did far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Lu Yao, who is Liu Kun's general and aide, is a talented person recommended by Liu Kun, but suddenly he is favored by His Highness the King of the East China Sea, and he has become a powerful party with independent military and political power.With what attitude will he face Governor Liu of Bingzhou?Even under his command, how did the generals who were born in Bingzhou coordinate the relationship with Bingzhou?Since we want to gain a foothold in Dai County, we have to consider this issue.

But not everyone will ask Lu Yao this question.

Ding Miao probably held the mentality of not caring. He was the nephew of Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and a general who was trusted by Yueshi. In his eyes, he never had such trivial matters.With Wen Qiao's keenness, he must have expected this, but he was facing the Danhan Mountain Ceremony, so he really had no time to be distracted by it.As for Shao Xu, this Anyang famous scholar is being entangled in complicated government affairs, and he is so busy that he is in the dark and dying.Or Shen Jin and the others, who were limited by their vision and knowledge, never thought of this.In this way, Xue Tong is the only one who is worried and outspoken.

Especially after Xue Tong inadvertently learned that Yue Shigong's perception of Lu Yao was not as pure as he expressed.

On the contrary, Xue Tong's worries made Lu Yao feel relieved. From a certain point of view, this is precisely the value of Xue Tong as a lieutenant general.He just wanted to take this opportunity to have a good exchange with this trustworthy assistant.

Lu Yao smiled and said: "Old Xue is worrying too much, we have no problem with Jinyang. It is enough to let Xiong Wenlin go this time."

"What Daoming means is..." Xue Tong lifted his spirits.

"Old Xue, have you noticed the position recommended by the King of the East China Sea?"

"General Yingyang, Daijun Taishou, Supervisor Dai Shanggu, and Guangning County military. This is an important job that is also in charge of military and political power, enough to preside over northern Xinjiang."

Lu Yao nodded, and asked again: "Then, old Xue, do you think I am really worthy of this job?"

This question is a bit tricky, especially for subordinates, it is even more difficult to answer.Under normal circumstances, it seems that a proper compliment is all that is needed, but Xue Tong knows that Lu Yao doesn't need those.When the appointment was announced a few days ago, all of Lu Yao's subordinates were inexplicably surprised by the appointment, and this surprise already explained the answer.

Xue Tong showed a serious look, and said slowly: "In my humble opinion, Daoming's talent is more than enough for the job. However, in terms of Daoming's reputation, it seems a little insufficient."

"Haha, Lao Xue, you are right!" Lu Yao clapped his hands: "You, Shao Gong, Lao Shen, Liu Xia, and even Liu Fei, Chen Pei and others are all handsome figures with outstanding talents in culture and martial arts. With your help, I am confident that I can do something in northern Xinjiang. However, the imperial court has always only valued people in the world. In recent years, those who have been promoted to high positions are all from rich and powerful families... Lu Yao is just a descendant from Jiangdong. He was born in the army, so he should be looked down upon by senior officials. Why does the court attach importance to this, and why does the king of the East China Sea love Lu Yao so much?"

"Uh..." Xue Tong lowered his voice again: "Could it be the Lord of Jingling County?"

Xue Tong has always attached great importance to the friendship with the county master and his party in the Taihang Mountains. He even used this reason to persuade Lu Yao to go to Luoyang to develop.Considering that the person carrying the letter of recommendation from the King of the East China Sea to come to Daijun was Wang De, the head of the guard of the Jingling County Lord, Xue Tong made such a guess as it should be.

"Old Xue...Old Xue..." Lu Yao raised his hand to support his forehead, interrupting Xue Tong's speculation.Contrary to Xue Tong, Lu Yao never cared about the county lord's woman, and he considered the problem from a different angle: "We must look farther, and then farther!"

Lu Yao stood up and tapped his chest with his finger: "I am a descendant of the Jiangdong gentry, not a Central Plains aristocrat. I used to serve under the King of Chengdu, and it is also an indelible stain. Now, Ji The elite of the Sang bandits and the dead men of the old king of Chengdu belonged to my subordinates to fight in the northern border; while the power of the imperial court was restrained by Shi Le in the south of Jizhou and could not move."

"Under such circumstances, the group of guys in Luoyang desperately hope for stability in northern Xinjiang. Of course, what they can offer is just a few official positions. This is why I can be so reused. But at the same time , they don’t want me to gain a foothold in northern Xinjiang too smoothly, so these positions can be said to contain profound meaning..." Lu Yao did not hide his sarcasm: "Jicheng has a general of hussars , Jinyang has General Pingbei, who should I, General Yingyang, listen to? Since Dai County belongs to Youzhou, the prefect should obey the order of the governor. Can the soldiers and horses of Youzhou in the county really be supervised by me? Think about the last sentence in the decree of the king of the East China Sea, the position of Sima, the general of Pingbei, remains the same as before. After obtaining the Daijun, am I still a member of Duke Yueshi? Under such a situation, if there is any change in Tuoba Xianbei, who should I ask for help? If the conflict with Duanbu Xianbei intensifies, can the Governor of Youzhou deal with it impartially?"

"I'm a little confused, Daoming..." Lu Yao's series of questions were like heavy blows, hitting Xue Tong a little dazed.He followed Lu Yao and walked a few steps, hesitantly but with a bit of anger said: "You mean, the imperial court deliberately caused us to get into conflicts and entanglements with Youbing Erzhou?"

Soldiers fighting on the battlefield, the most intolerable and hated is this kind of behavior.Under such careless calculations, what exactly did they take the blood and tears of the soldiers who went to the Jin Dynasty?

"That's right." Lu Yao nodded indifferently: "Old Xue Mo needs to be annoyed. This is just a common method used by the court. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It is not aimed at us alone. You see, Wang Jun of Jicheng relies on The strength of the Xianbei people dominates the north, and they have always been rebellious. Although they honor the imperial court in name, they are actually separatist regimes. The king of the East China Sea has no control over Youzhou, so he can only appease him by pretending to be high-ranking officials. During the military chaos in Jizhou, Wang Jun became the governor The military forces in Dongyi and Hebei did not stand still, which must have aroused the displeasure of the King of the East China Sea. If the independent Daijun can restrain Jicheng, all the princes in the court will be happy to see it. On the other hand, Yue In Jinyang, Duke Shi defeated the Xiongnu's [-] powerful soldiers with his exhausted crowd, and his prestige shook the world. He also formed an alliance with Tuoba Xianbei in the west, and gained the strength of Hu Qi as well as Wang Junye. Here, it is very powerful for Yue Shigong's subordinates. The generals are particularly promoted, and they are promoted to an independent position. This is also the way of employing people. The promotion of a Daijun prefect will make the two prefectures feel entangled. There are obviously smart people in the Donghai King's shogunate, haha, haha."

Lu Yao looked at Xue Tong with a dark face, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you understand? If we want to gain a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang, we will face an unpredictable and complicated situation. Tuoba, Duan, Youzhou Wang Jun needs our 12 points of energy to deal with it. In comparison, Jinyang is no longer a problem. With Yue Shigong's wisdom, how can he fail to see this little trick? Old Xue You don't have to worry too much."

It turns out that the so-called "no problem with Jinyang" is because there are too many other problems?

The joy brought about by seizing the county suddenly disappeared without a trace. Xue Tong only felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.
