As soon as Cao Chong, who had just finished playing a song, saw Lu Ren, he hurriedly put down the erhu in his hand and saluted Lu Ren, but Lu Ren waved his hand and came to the front again, reached out and picked up the erhu that Cao Chong put aside, looked at it, and asked, "When did you learn this?" ”
Cao Chong said: "Yes, some times. ”
According to historical records, the erhu or huqin mainly began to have specific records in the Tang Dynasty, but it is difficult to say before the Tang Dynasty. To be precise, it is a thing that has a clear record in the Han Dynasty. Of course, this is not a problem for Lu Ren, perhaps in the Han Dynasty the huqin already had the first prototype, but it could not stand Lu Ren from being able to complete the process and make a better quality huqin.
In the territory of Yizhou, due to the existence of Lu Ren and Cai Yan, two music masters, and Lu Ren as the lord of Yizhou, will naturally form a so-called "upward and downward effect" atmosphere, plus Lu Ren also made every effort to create a Lu Lan, so there is a very good music atmosphere in Yizhou. In this regard, Lu Ren himself jokingly said that the current Yizhou is like Weiena in Europe in later generations for Huaxia.
In short, due to the good music atmosphere in Yizhou, all kinds of musical instruments are also popular. And things like the chimes of the Han Dynasty were troublesome and costly, so Lu Ren advocated more convenient musical instruments. Of course, because of the corresponding historical value of large musical instruments such as chimes, Lu Ren still got a few sets and put them in the museum. As a time-traveler, Lu Ren knows what it means to preserve these things.
Don't go too far, just say that with the music atmosphere of Yizhou, and Cao Chong's cleverness, it is not difficult to learn what musical instrument to play in Yizhou, but Lu Ren didn't expect Cao Chong to learn to play erhu. After all, in Lu Ren's view, with Cao Chong's background, he would choose "elegant" musical instruments such as guqin and guzheng if he wanted to play.
I picked up the erhu and tried to pull it a few times, but I only pulled out a few ugly notes. Lu Ren could only laugh at this, because although Lu Ren could get these musical instruments out, Lu Ren himself could only play the flute and the qin, and the qin had only learned some after being with Cai Yan for a long time, and his technical ability was only mediocre. And the erhu thing, Lu Ren really can't play it, and he doesn't have time to learn it.
After handing the erhu into Cao Chong's hands again, Lu Ren sat down casually and said, "When I arrived outside the courtyard just now, I happened to hear you playing "Lost Immortal Introduction"...... I, Lu Ren, am also a person who understands music and rhythm, and I can hear that you are not in a good mood right now. Cangshu, are you blaming me for holding you back and not allowing you to go back to mourn? ”
Cao Chong was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head gently: "It's not weird. In fact, my father had already said in the letter to me that I was not allowed to go back to the funeral, Lu Yizhou, you are only fulfilling the promise you made to your father. ”
Lu Ren said: "It's good that you can understand these things, and it will save me from worrying." ”
Cao Chong lowered his head and sighed: "But Lu Yizhou, a child, hearing that his parents died, he couldn't run for mourning, this, this really makes me ......."
Lu Ren glanced at Cao Chong, shook his head and said, "So, your father finally chose to let Zihuan succeed him, and did not choose your favorite you to pick him up." Cangshu, you are such a smart person, there are many things that I don't need to tell you in detail. ”
Cao Chong was silent for a long time before nodding to Lu Ren and said, "Yes, I have already figured out many things. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been here honestly all this time lately. ”
Lu Ren stretched out his hand and patted Cao Chong's shoulder: "Since you understand in your heart, I won't say too much, you can stay with me in peace in the future, and when you have the opportunity to go back to pay respects to your father in the future." Actually, you're fine, just hide and cry, but do you know how many problems your dad left for me? ”
Cao Chong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Daddy asked Lu Yizhou to transfer the letter to me, but Lu Yizhou hasn't read it?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "I want to, but I didn't look at it." Anyway, I still have that kind of ethics. ”
Cao Chong didn't speak, but took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Lu Ren. Lu Ren was stunned, so he took the letter and looked at it, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your father really calculated me hard before he died. But that's fine, having you by my side to tell me some inside information, some things will be more convenient for me to do, saving me a lot of trouble. ”
Cao Chong was silent for a long time again, and then asked, "Lu Yizhou, what kind of relationship is there between you and your father?" Is it the enemy? Is it a friend? Or something else? ”
Lu Ren raised his head and thought for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Things in this world are often unclear. Seriously, I actually have a grudge against your father, but can I really carry a sword to cut down your father? How cool does it feel to be so happy? It's a pity that things in the world are often destined not to be so simple. ”
Saying that, Lu Ren turned his head to look at Cao Chong, with an unknown smile on his face: "Seriously, when I heard the news of your father's death a few days ago, I suddenly felt empty in my heart. There is a feud between me and your father, but your father is also one of the people I admire the most, and no matter what, there is still some old friendship between us. People often say that grievances and grievances are never separated, and they are often easily entangled...... Alas, I don't even know what I'm talking about when this old man is gone. ”
Cao Chong said: "When my father was still here, he also told me that he couldn't let Lu Yizhou stay by his side to help him, which was the saddest thing for him. And between him and Lu Yizhou is not only a monarch and a minister, but also a friend. ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "Don't talk about this, after all, everyone has passed away." As for Cangshu, what do you say is the most important thing at the moment when you are the new master of Wei State? ”
Cao Chong lowered his head and thought about it, and responded, "Qingzhou soldiers." ”
Hearing these three words, Lu Ren also nodded.
Qingzhou soldiers can be said to be the old foundation that Lao Cao relied on, and the most fundamental military force in Cao Wei. Lao Cao has always been strict with law and discipline and strict military discipline when he was alive, but he has a lot of tolerance for Qingzhou soldiers. Lao Cao naturally has his necessity to do this, and it should even be said that he is a little helpless, but because of this, the Qingzhou soldiers have more or less a bit of ruffianism.
In the original history, Lao Cao lost the battle for Hanzhong, and then died of illness in Luoyang, which means that the main force of the Qingzhou soldiers at that time followed Lao Cao to stay in Luoyang. As soon as Lao Cao died, a huge number of Qingzhou soldiers beat drums and shouted and acted without receiving orders, which can be completely defined as a military rebellion, and Cao Pi almost had to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Later, someone hurriedly admonished Cao Pi that these Qingzhou soldiers just wanted to go home, and asked Cao Pi not to deliberately restrain them, and at the same time not only did not care about them, but also distributed grain and grass to these Qingzhou soldiers along the way, so that these Qingzhou soldiers returned home with peace of mind, so that there was no major incident. Later, in order to regain control of the Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Pi also spent a long time barely getting it.
To put it simply, the Qingzhou soldiers only serve Lao Cao, and they don't buy Xiao Cao. Therefore, as soon as Lao Cao died, the Qingzhou soldiers became the biggest problem that Cao Pi needed to solve at the moment. And the current situation is that although Lao Cao successfully handed over the squad to Cao Pi in Yecheng, the Qingzhou soldiers who were fighting outside were still a problem to be solved quickly. Don't forget that Lao Cao is still at war with the Western Regions Coalition Army on the Chang'an side, and several of the main forces of the Qingzhou soldiers are there; And among the troops guarding the border in the north and guarding against the nomadic tribes in the north, the Qingzhou soldiers were not a few. If there is any chaos in this regard, it will be difficult for Cao Wei not to mess up.
However, at this point, Lu Ren believes that Lao Cao must have made corresponding arrangements, and he doesn't need to worry too much about himself. To put it mildly, they are all Lao Cao's descendants, only listen to Lao Cao's words, and don't even buy Xiao Cao's account, will they still listen to Lu Ren, the candidate of another family? If his own troops really listen to the words of other families, then Lao Cao should not be confused.
However, after a moment's thought, Lu Ren touched his chin and said secretly in his heart: "It's not absolute, right?" Maybe I can really say a few words to Qingzhou Bing. Of course, it's impossible to command them, what can I do...... Well, in terms of the Western military system in later generations, Lao Cao is of course a commander who can command the army, and my position should be that of a military priest. It's funny, so many years have passed, but do you want me to re-hang the title of 'immortal master'? Why don't you take a look and talk about it, for more than 20 years, the original Qingzhou soldiers died and the old ones died, who would still remember me, the 'immortal master'? ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Lao Cao died of illness in mid-May, and it will certainly take a lot of time for Cao Pi to succeed him. However, around July, as soon as the news of Lao Cao's death spread in China, it naturally triggered a series of changes.
The first was the battlefield in Liangzhou, as soon as the news of Lao Cao's death reached here, the mutiny of the Qingzhou soldiers appeared, so that Cao Wei's offensive against Anding had to be temporarily stopped and withdrawn to Chang'an. Then the Qingzhou soldiers clamored and said that they wanted to go home, and Cao Pi had to let these Qingzhou soldiers go back to Qingzhou as in the original history.
However, before that, Lao Cao had already transferred troops from other regions to the top, so at present, Cao Wei's army in Chang'an was mainly chaotic, but the overall combat effectiveness still maintained a corresponding level. The next thing is to wait for Cao Wei to clean up these messes, and after cleaning up, they will start a war against Liangzhou again.
Liu Bei also received the news of Lao Cao's death at this time, and Pang Tong and Fa Zheng immediately suggested that Liu Bei temporarily stop the war against Tianshui, because Cao Wei would definitely temporarily withdraw his troops at this time, and as soon as Cao Wei withdrew his troops, it meant that Liu Bei would have to face the entire Western Regions Alliance alone, which was too cost-effective for Liu Bei.
And the better choice now is that Liu Bei temporarily withdraws to Hanzhong and stationes the main army in Hanzhong, on the one hand, to prevent the Western Regions Alliance from attacking Hanzhong again, and on the other hand, to see what kind of movements Cao Wei's side will have next.
At this time, Lu Ren issued a notice in support of Cao Pi. To put it simply, Lu Ren first expressed his condolences for the death of Lao Cao, and then hoped that Cao Pi could inherit his father's business well, and then said that Cao Pi should focus on resisting foreign enemies like Lao Cao. As long as Cao Pi continues to defend against foreign enemies, Lu Ren will continue to support him before.
But the meaning hidden between the lines...... How many fuel-efficient lamps are there over there? How many people won't be able to see the meaning of Lu Ren's words? Therefore, in order to get Lu Ren's diplomatic support and corresponding influence, Cao Pi immediately said that he would send troops again to resist the foreign races in the Western Regions after appeasing the hearts of the army and the people, and those sensible wealthy families in Cao Wei also expressed their support for Cao Pi's approach for the dual interests of politics and money.
In other words, Cao Pi used this method of borrowing power to earn him the first pot of gold in prestige after taking over the throne, at least to create a better atmosphere for Cao Pi in terms of public opinion.
But this was only for the upper strata of society, for the middle and lower strata at that time...... For example, the Qingzhou soldiers, Xiao Cao is a little powerless to influence them.
At this time, Lu Ren appeared again, but this time he moved out of his original name of "Immortal Master...... Isn't that confusing? To be honest, Lu Ren didn't know the bottom of his own heart about this matter, after all, the so-called "Immortal Master" incident happened in Jian'an for three or four years, and now more than 20 years have passed, how many veterans are left?
However, this time, Lu Ren really underestimated the influence of his name, or it can be said that he still underestimated the destructive power of these "mysticism" in those years. That's right, there weren't many veterans left, but Lu Ren's original things have been circulating in the Qingzhou soldier group, and some of them are becoming more and more mysterious.
But then again, for those Qingzhou soldiers, Lu Ren really made a lot of mysterious and mysterious things. Not to mention a lot of daily necessities, health care and the like, but to say that the most influential to the Qingzhou soldiers, or the most amazing thing for the Qingzhou soldiers, is the train and railway that Lu Ren organized. And this thing, Qingzhou, which is adjacent to Xuzhou, can see it very clearly. It is said that when the "Xu Peng" line in Xuzhou was opened that year, there were a lot of people on the border of Qingzhou who came to see it, and then there were many people who worshiped the train.
Don't go far, just say that when Lu Ren moved out of the identity of "immortal master" and exhorted the Qingzhou soldiers to fight for the country in the tone of a military priest, it did have a very good persuasive effect, at least it didn't take long for a group of Qingzhou soldiers to take the initiative to return to the establishment, and then pick up their weapons and go to the battlefield again......
