Chapter Eighty-Nine: Guangping Night Talk
The world's sharpest people, why don't they stay in the border field at the imperial court?
Lu Zhi looked at the Yan Zhao warrior who was surrounded by him on the left and right to keep him vigilant, and the emotion and remorse in his heart did not stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is not for himself to regret, but for the first emperor, for the court.
People often know the destiny of heaven at fifty, and Lu Zhi is just over fifty years old this year.
A person's life is only 50 years, right? Zhuojun Luzi has seen everything and who he is. He served as a general in the rule of Taishou, and was a general in every chaos and appeasement.
He hadn't seen anything.
For 50 years, he took it as his responsibility to defend the monarch and save the country, and begged for thieves in Jizhou, drew his sword in Baige Mountain, and chased the emperor in Hejin...... Lu Zhi has never been complacent, there are too many people like him in the Han Dynasty, but the world is still in chaos, the imperial power has fallen and the thief Kou Xiaoyue is in turmoil, why is this?
Rebellion, again and again; Riots, again and again.
Civilisation could not be stopped, so he put down his book and picked up his sword.
But the sword can stop man-made disasters, but it can't stop natural disasters.
If it's not the world that's wrong, then who's wrong?
Lu Zhi wanted to return to his hometown and not ask about the world. But now they can't even go back to Youzhou, these Yanbei soldiers, dressed in armor and holding sharp blades, are even better than the Luoyang Northern Army in terms of military uniform. When did Youzhou have such a strong army in the world?
Pingyang Pavilion is getting closer and closer.
In the distance, there was a figure standing tall and holding a prancing horse.
"Zhao, Zhao Sima?"
The Yan Zhao warriors who were ordered to escort the old man couldn't react, and just now they left the camp, Zhao Sima was not on the general's side, why did he appear here with nearly a hundred military cavalry now?
"The general has an order, and he ordered you to return to the camp." Zhao Yun held high the seal of Captain Wuhuan of Yanbei, reined in his horse and said loudly to this Wuyan Zhao warrior: "Leave this old man behind, you go back and tell the general, don't reveal this matter, do you know?" ”
Sergeant Yiwu had doubts in his heart, but when he saw Yanbei's seal letter that never left him, he immediately surrendered his hand, leaving Lu Zhi who was in doubt.
Protecting the seal of the captain of Wuhuan, in today's Jizhou, it is much better than the state pastor Yinxin, and anyone who sees the letter will be as if Yanbei is in person, but he will never dare to shirk if he has an order.
When the soldiers walked away, Zhao Yun accepted the seal letter and turned over and dismounted, and respectfully walked in front of Lu Zhi and saluted: "Lu Shangshu, there are many people in the camp and there are many eyes, the general has no choice but to be rude, and he is specially ordered to confess to you." ”
"General Yan knows who the old man is!"
Seeing Lu Zhi's admission, Zhao Yun nodded, and immediately took off a pair of armor from the horse and held it to Lu Zhi, saying: "Mr. Zigan, please change into armor first, this place is not a place to talk, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, and I will explain it to you on the way." ”
Although Lu Zhi didn't know why Yanbei did this, seeing that Zhao Yun's appearance didn't look like he was trying to harm himself, he immediately agreed to put on the same armor as the military cavalry that followed Zhao Yun, turned over his horse, and followed Zhao Yun all the way to fight the horse and run east.
"I'll bypass Wei County, stay in Guangping tonight, and it'll be safe to go to Anping tomorrow." Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi are both people from Heshuo, and it is not a problem to use bows and gallop horses, and a team of military cavalry quickly passed through the official road under the banner of the Yanbei Army, and there was no one in the surrounding pavilions who dared to stop them, "Mr. Zigan is the pillar of the country, the great Confucian in the world, and my general guessed that you must have left Luoyang because you offended Dong Zhuo in the court, so let me escort you back to Youzhou on the next road." ”
After all, Lu Zhi is very old, and he has run away from Luoyang East and has not dared to rest for a while, he has long been exhausted, and now he is galloping on horseback, and it is extremely difficult to speak, so he does not speak much, just nods.
Although Lu Zhi didn't speak, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart...... Who would have thought that Yanbei, who was born in the chaotic army, would have such a mentality, take precautions, and guess his situation with just a few words. First pretended not to know himself in the camp, sent someone to send him out, and then sent a light horse to come first.
If this is not born to know, God knows what that young man in his twenties has gone through to become what he is now.
After galloping in the afternoon, Zhao Yun took Lu Zhi all the way to the field outside Guangping City, and ordered his cronies to go to the city to get grain and grass, and bury the pot to make rice, so that Lu Zhi could eat hot rice after going to Luoyang.
The crackling of the fire piled up with fallen leaves and damp firewood made Zhao Yun, who was picking up the bonfire, look at the flickering flames in a daze...... The old man who knelt opposite him, dressed in armor, silently chewed dry steamed cakes, and drank the gruel with wild rice, was Lu Zhi!
The world's great Confucian, the model of the scholar who will enter the phase, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan!
This feeling made Zhao Yun fall into the clouds, like a dream.
He never thought of having the opportunity to eat with Lu Zhi, even in ...... Zhao Yun looked around, in such a wilderness.
Zhao Yun is not a person who talks a lot, even if he really wants to talk to Lu Zhi, he is only fiddling with the bonfire, and even if he occasionally meets Lu Zhi's gaze, he just looks away as usual.
The gap between the two sides in terms of knowledge and experience was too big, Zhao Yun thought about it, and couldn't think of anything that would allow him to talk to Lu Zhi at all.
After a while, Lu Zhi finished eating, pushed the pottery bowl aside, and took the lead in asking, "The strong man's surname?" ”
"Ah, Mr. Hui, Zhao Yun is really a person in Xiachangshan." Zhao Yun was a little surprised, and added another sentence after speaking, "It's okay if you call me Zilong." ”
"Well, there is a saying in the Book of Changes, the clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the sage makes it and all things can see." Lu Zhi nodded, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Zilong, your family has high expectations for you." ”
Zhao Yun was not surprised that a great Confucian like Lu Zhi could tell the origin of his name with a single word, and nodded in response: "Mr. Hui, Yun Zheng is self-denying and self-cultivation because of this, hoping to meet the expectations of his elders." ”
"Good." After saying the last two sentences, Lu Zhi also let go, straightened his sitting posture and asked Zhao Yun, "What kind of person is your general?" The old man had heard his name, and when he saw him today, he was very young. But looking at his way of doing things, it seems to be inconsistent with the rumors. ”
"The rumors that the gentleman was referring to." Zhao Yun asked, "Which one is it?" ”
In Jizhou, Yanbei stayed even longer than Youzhou after becoming famous, and there are too many rumors about Yanbei here. Zhao Yun couldn't tell which one of the rumors had traveled thousands of miles into Lu Zhi's ears in Luoyang.
Lu Zhi smiled, there are indeed a lot of rumors about Yanbei, although Luoyang is far away, it is the capital of the world, and the rumors that can circulate in the countryside can also be spread to Luoyang without landing. But a lot of the news seemed meaningless to Lu Zhi, and he only cared about two things.
Lu Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that Yan Zhong was violent by nature, and he was once scorched with fire in Wuji; But I also heard that he was benevolent and righteous, and he raised righteous soldiers to fight against the thieves in Jizhou. ”
In fact, Lu Zhi asked about the senses of many people of insight in the world who are only famous for Yanbei, and they are very complicated. Lu Zhi wants to know whether the former is a frame of people's jealousy; Or maybe the latter is the reputation of the dear one.
But Zhao Yun was destined to disappoint Lu Zhi, and said apologetically: "Yun's time to follow the general is still short, I'm afraid I can't help Mr. distinguish the true from the fake." ”
"Oh? I thought that the strong man was the person who was treated by General Yan. ”
"The general treats Yun well, but Yun only has been from the general for more than a month, and he can't judge whether the general is violent or not, but Yun has indeed seen the general's benevolence." In fact, Zhao Yun also wanted to know what kind of person Yanbei was, he had heard people mention the fire in the ruins of Zhen's Wu outside Wuji City, and until now there are rumors in the countryside that someone will hear the burned Montenegrin army crying wolf howl when someone passes by at night, "The general did set fire to Wuji City, and the general brought fire and water to the Montenegrin army, and also saved the people of Jizhou from fire and water." ”
The fire outside Wuji City burned 600 Black Mountain troops alive, and the dam on the upper reaches of the Ganges River drowned thousands of Black Mountain. But Yanbei did save the lives of countless people in Jizhou.
Treat the enemy like the scorching sun, and save the people like a spring breeze.
This is the feeling that Yanbei brought to Zhao Yun.
Lu Zhi was dumbfounded, bringing fire and water to the Black Mountain Army, and also saving the people of Jizhou from fire and water. Zhao Yun said this very well, that place in Luoyang is too prosperous, and the prosperity obscures people's auditions, and even their thoughts become impetuous.
It is enough to see why a person should hang his background and experience together, just look at what he brings to others.
Zhao Yun thought about it and frowned and said slowly: "General, you are a good person." He asked us to move our family to Liaodong, saying that although it was bitterly cold, it would not be harmed by the war in the Central Plains. He tried his best to let the people of Liaodong County have food to eat and clothes to wear, and even Confucian scholars like Bing Genju settled there to educate the people. ”
Zhao Yun used the words 'no accumulation of private wealth', which made Lu Zhi in the year of the Mandate of Heaven almost burst into tears.
This is not because of Yanbei, but because time flies.
It was more than ten years ago, when Lu Zhinian was in the prime of life, with the murderous spirit of quelling the rebellion of the Jiujiang barbarians in Yangzhou, he was in the Dongguan School, and carved forty-six scriptures and stones to stand in front of Taixue, which was called Xiping Shijing.
The first emperor thought that the scriptures were not an important thing, and recruited him as a speaker, a servant, and a scholar.
In the spring of eleven years ago, with the change of time, Lu Zhi asked the first emperor for eight o'clock, and the last one was to hope that the first emperor would not accumulate private wealth and spread benefits to the world...... The emperor did not adopt it, and then the white horse passed by, and the sage of the year was dying, but in the wilderness of Guangping County, Wei County, he heard from the young people that the general from Manu in the north did not accumulate private wealth for the people to study.
How could it not make him feel emotional?
Zhao Yun said that Yanbei was a good person.
Lu Zhi doesn't know what to think, what kind of world is it now? Good people, can good people live?
"How long does General Yan have to go back to Youzhou?" Lu Zhi asked, he wanted to meet Yan Bei in person and see what kind of person he was, "The old man wants to meet General Yan and thank him in person." ”
Zhao Yun's face was embarrassed, he knew that Yanbei had mixed feelings about Lu Zhi, which could be seen from the first time he recognized Lu Zhi's hand on the hilt of the knife, whether he was protecting himself or wanting to kill, this inadvertent action could not be called friendly, Zhao Yun had to say: "When the general returns to Youzhou, Yun will convey it to Mr." ”
