Chapter 125: Victory (3)

"Since the Eastern Wu died in the Great Jin Dynasty, the Lu clan withered, Lu Yan, Lu Jing and other leading generals died in battle, and Lu Yao's parents died at that time. Immediately, Erlu entered Luoyang as an official, and dozens of young children of the Lu family, including Lu Yao, accompanied him, and lived in Luoyang for more than ten years. After the first year of Yongping...... Wen Qiao was a little silent, and considered how to phrase it: "After the first year of Yongping, the situation in the dynasty was disordered, and the kings fought against each other. Lu Ji Lu Yun and others repeatedly interacted with several clan princes, and were finally killed by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. More than 30 people from the Lu clan were implicated and punished, and only this one Lu Yao and Lu Daoming were lucky enough to escape. I don't know what he thinks, after escaping, he did not go to his hometown in Jiangdong, but went to Bingzhou to join the army, and under the command of Sima Teng, who was the assassin of Bingzhou and Dongyinggong at the time, he fought dozens of fierce battles with the Xiongnu and Han States. Three years later, he was appointed as the commander of the army. ”

The master of the army is called the master of the army. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, foreign armies have usually been composed of 1,500 people. For example, the princes and kings of each town have a kingdom army of 5,000 people from the three armies of the Great Kingdom, 3,000 people from the two armies of the Middle Kingdom, and 1,500 people from the first army of the Small Kingdom. The total number of the 36th Army of Luoyang Suwei was no less than 100,000, and the ancient system of 3,200 people was adopted. The position of military lord is the last 'door' threshold to high-ranking military attachΓ©s, and then promoted, it is a well-known general, lieutenant and other positions.

"Three years as the military master?" Murong Longcheng asked in surprise, "Is there anyone in the Bingzhou army to take care of it?" ”

Lu Yao joined the army in vain, and within three years he was promoted to the commander of the army, commanding thousands of soldiers, which is really staggering. If it is not taken care of by high-ranking officials in the army, it will be a great military achievement. But Murong Longcheng quickly shook his head again and again, he thought that the former was absolutely impossible. The Jiangdong Lu clan came from Wu County, thousands of miles away from the northern frontier, they had no foundation in the north, and a large number of clansmen had just been killed, where did the strength come from to take care of Lu Yao. Then it can only be the latter. How tragic the war between the Xiongnu and the imperial court was, with hundreds of thousands of dead in the war, those who could stand out in such an environment must be good generals for a while.

Wen Qiao continued: "Last year, that is, in the first year of Guangxi, Dongying Gong was defeated by the Xiongnu, and the whole division was defeated in Daling. When tens of thousands of troops were scattered overnight, only Lu Daoming's army was the only one. It's a pity that when he led his army to slowly retreat to Huguan, he was bumping into the Huns who were ordered by Liu Yuan to attack the southeastern counties of the state. Lu Yao and others fought and retreated, and dragged the army of Liu Cong, the king of Zuogu Li, with hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals. Speaking of which...... That Dongying Duke was able to escape to Jizhou safely, first of all, he had to thank Lu Daoming who inadvertently broke off for him. The corners of Wen Qiao's mouth 'revealed' a sneering smile, and he gestured to Murong Longcheng's chin: "After the Battle of Daling, Lu Daoming was thrown into the Yueshi public account, and the cone in the bag was able to show his edge. The deeds of his people who have repeatedly defeated the Huns with outnumbered attacks have been conveyed to you Brother Longcheng before, and there is no need to repeat them at this moment. ”

Murong Longcheng was a little irritable. He seemed to want to turn around and reopen the tent, but hesitated, and then sat down on a thick leather mattress in the big tent: "What does this mean? Is it the story of the rise of the children of the fallen scholars? ”

Wen Qiao shook his head: "What I want to say is...... Lu Daoming once faced the same situation as you, but he chose a different path. Wherever Lu Daoming passed, whether it was a merger or a merit, he did not fail to make meritorious contributions, and many military and political officials praised him, and he had a reputation for being beautiful in the world. In time, it is not impossible to enter the phase and rejuvenate the Jiangdong Lu clan. And what about you, Brother Longcheng? ”

Under Murong Longcheng's gaze, which gradually changed from doubtful 'confusion' to fierce and flickering eyes, Wen Qiao's expression was calm, and his tone increased: "Brother Longcheng, you and Lu Daoming are both shouldering the enmity of their family and country, and they are both struggling alone in this troubled world. The two of you are actually quite similar, but you and he have chosen very different paths. I can assert today that what he has chosen is right and that your path is wrong. In the long run, I fear that Your Excellency will die without a place to be buried. ”

Such words are too rude. After all, Murong Longcheng is a Xianbei nobleman, and he still has the support of many Murong Nai's old subordinates. Even in Changshan, he is also an unattainable boss, when would anyone dare to curse him so viciously?

Murong Longcheng raised his head suddenly, staring at Wen Qiao as if he was about to devour people. Because of his anger, his extremely handsome face almost looked a little distorted: "Wen Qiao! Do you, who is about to die, dare to accuse Xianbei Dashan Yu and Changshan Army at will? ”

"It's the heroes who killed their own clan, and the Xianbei Da Dan who came to wagging his tail and begging for mercy to Duan Bu! It is the leader of the Changshan Army who grovels to the Tuoba Lu officials, and even does not hesitate to betray his comrades who have been fighting the enemy side by side for many years! Wen Qiao reprimanded loudly without hesitation.

"Bold!" Murong Longcheng kicked over the chessboard in front of Wen Qiao with one kick, and the chess pieces polished from the black and white 'color' rough stones flew all over the sky.

A chess piece hit Wen Qiao's fair cheek, leaving a black green in an instant.

Wen Qiao didn't have the slightest sense of panic, he stood up: "Isn't what I said wrong?" Brother Long Cheng might as well think about it. Over the years, Murong Diao's leading clan has become more and more prosperous, and you will only kill the characters of the Murong clan under the sword again and again, and the Murong clan people in the fertile fields of Liaodong for three thousand miles, what is left of you except fear and hatred? Although the Changshan Army is a thief, it is a remnant of the Black Mountain Army at the end of the Han Dynasty, and it has been watching and helping each other for a hundred years. After the dust settles on this battle, how will those remnants of Changshan who have been inherited to this day look at the wise and powerful masters they once supported? All the tribes and tribes of the Dai County, who will still believe in you? ”

"Brother Longcheng, think about it again, after today, how will Tuoba Xianbei Western Lord Yilu and Liaoxi Gongduan Wuchen think of Your Excellency? The dissatisfaction of General Pengzu Wang of Youzhou and Yue Shigong of Bingzhou is even more certain. Wen Qiao strode forward until he could almost feel the hot breath spewing from Murong Longcheng's mouth: "I don't know what kind of honor the Lu official has promised you, don't care. But one day, if my brother has a quarrel with Lu Guan...... In this thousands of miles of northern Xinjiang, where are there people who are willing to help? ”

Wen Qiao lowered his voice and said sincerely: "That Tuoba Xianbei Eastern Lord Lu Guan is indeed the male lord. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the western lord Yilu, almost commanding the entire Tuoba Xianbei, and even the Yue Shigong of Jinyang would be in great trouble. But is he the Lord of Gentleness and Forgiveness? Over the years, the Tuoba clan has ruled the country thirty-six, with the surname ninety-nine, and the north is powerful, and they are all subdued, but how many of the tribal chiefs who have obeyed Tuoba Xianbei have not been wiped out? How many people can remain autonomous? Brother Long Cheng, why do you have such unrealistic expectations for Lu Guan? ”

Murong Longcheng's expression suddenly fell silent. What Wen Qiao said, every word is like a sharp blade, straight into the chest. That's right, he threw himself into Luguan because he was dissatisfied with the constraints of the Duan Ministry, but if you think about it carefully, isn't Tuoba Xianbei much kinder than the Duan Ministry?

As a figure in Northern Xinjiang for many years, Wen Qiao mentioned it slightly, and Murong Longcheng could clearly judge the situation of Tuoba Xianbei. Over the years, both the eastern and western Tuoba Xianbei tribes have been actively dispersing the original subordinate tribes and forcing them to divide their territory and settle down. This move undoubtedly greatly weakened the power of the various tribes and strengthened the authority of the Tuoba tribe. In this process, accompanied by frequent 'conspiracy', conspiracy, suppression and massacre, a large number of former tribal commanders and leaders were rolling, and their methods were even more 'fierce' than those of the Duan Division...... In case the next day, if the Lu official wants to integrate and split the people of Changshan to which Murong Dragon City belongs, what should Murong Dragon City do?

Murong Longcheng looked at Wen Qiao thoughtfully, and after a moment, sighed.

He was originally a strong man with a strong will and could not be shaken, otherwise he would not have relied on the remnants of Murong Nai to entangle with the strong Murong Department for many years. But after all, he was not willing to be driven by others for a long time, and to make that hopeless struggle. The original strong and arrogant arrogance suddenly faded. This fierce and terrifying giant is actually just a young man in his twenties, and when he 'revealed' a hesitant look, he actually felt a little hesitant: "Brother Taizhen, what can I do about it?" ”

Wen Qiao didn't answer, but suddenly opened the tent, and the dim tent suddenly lit up, and the sound of fighting, which was originally isolated by the heavy felt cloth, rushed into the tent. The two people in the tent could clearly see that the battle between the Jin army and the Tuoba Lu official was still ongoing.

Murong Longcheng knew very well that those black-clothed cavalry were the 'elite' of the grassland tribes that the Lu officials relied on to command. Otherwise, the Lu officials would not have sent them to attack Daijun in a tense environment of confrontation with Yilu, and gave them the heavy task of destroying the Jin people's ability to interfere in one fell swoop. Although these black-clothed cavalry had experienced a long journey and had a slight loss of physical strength, they were both numerous and unexpected. Murong Longcheng originally thought that they would be able to crush the Jin army fiercely. But today's war situation is clearly stalemate.

That Lu Yao and Lu Daoming's good fighting was beyond Murong Longcheng's expectations, and this Jin army was definitely not the kind of incompetent officers and soldiers that the Hu'er in Northern Xinjiang were used to seeing. Behind them, what kind of powerful power should the Pingbei general have? You must know that compared with the Xiongnu who once dominated the grassland, the Changshan group of thieves under the fence are just ants. However, the 100,000 army of the Xiongnu Liu Han Kingdom was defeated by Liu Kun, the assassin of the state under Jinyang City!

Murong Longcheng didn't notice that his fists were clenched to the point of rattling. He only heard Wen Qiao and said: "Yi Lu is the son of the previous generation of Tuoba Xianbei Dashan Yu Desert Khan, and the Desert Khan family has respected the imperial court for generations, so Liu Tingshi will do his best to help him, and will never allow Lu officials to do whatever they want." Since Shegui's death, Murong Nai and Murong Diao have seized the throne, and the court has no decision on who is right and who is wrong. And Brother Longcheng, as Murong Nai's son-in-law, if he can obey the orders of the imperial court, won't Liu Tingshi have the means to survive? ”
