Chapter 122: The Good Horse (End)

Xu Run vaguely remembered that Lu Ji and his brother Lu Yun entered Luo during the Taikang period, and they became famous with their articles. In the next ten years, the two brothers served as officials, and they both became the commanders of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and finally died due to defeat in battle. Lu Yao is one of the young sons of the Lu clan who came to the north with Lu Ji to travel to the north, after the Lu clan was executed, he has always been active in the state, how can he have anything to do with Chen Min, the great thief who shook half of the Great Jin Dynasty in those years?

"What's the matter?" Liu Kun looked up to the sky and laughed. Only at this time did he show a bit of heroic demeanor, and his laughter was as heroic as a crouching tiger, shaking the mountains and forests: "What does it matter? Hahahaha...... Zhonglang, you don't know the clues, then Chen Min is just a small official who started from managing a granary, where does he really have the talent to be brave and good at fighting? This person is just a puppet, and the person who gave a steady stream of support behind his back, and finally made him dare to confront the Great Jin Dynasty, was none other than the four major clans of Lu Gu, Zhu and Zhang in Jiangdong, and the Lu brothers who led thousands of troops and horses under the command of the king of Chengdu and served as the governor of the army several times! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Kun sat up and leaned slightly in the direction of Xu Run.

Xu Run knew that what Liu Kun wanted to say at this moment must be the secret of being lost in the chaotic war of the kings, so he couldn't care about playing the piano anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to listen quietly.

I only heard Liu Kun continue: "The Sun Wu regime in Jiangdong relies on the family to a similar extent compared to this dynasty. The Sun family claims to be a descendant of Sun Wu, but in fact, it is purely a clair, and his family is often disdained by scholars for being cold. Therefore, after their generation entered Jiangdong, although they were busy killing for a while, in the end, in order to stabilize the regime, they had to compromise with the so-called Jiangdong giants such as the Zhou family and the Shen family, who were known as the two heroes of Jiangdong. It was also with the support of the wealthy families in Jiangdong that the Sun family expanded the territory of Southern Xia in one fell swoop, and even fought against the Chinese court, and called the king and emperor with the crown. ”

"In the first year of Taikang, when the dynasty was at its peak, Emperor Wu led the army with famous generals such as Wang Hun, Du Pre, and Wang Jun, and raised a six-way army to crusade against Eastern Wu, which overturned it like a devastating and decaying land. In the battle of Wu, the outstanding sons of the Southeast Qiangzong suffered a lot of losses, and their vitality was greatly lost, so they were completely suppressed by our northerners. However, they hold a grudge, and often take the Central Plains as their son in their words, and always have the idea of splitting the mountains and rivers again...... These Jiangdong powerhouses don't need to wait too long, the civil strife among the kings that began in the first year of Yuankang not only exhausted the vitality of the Great Jin, but also gave them a chance! ”

"The father of the brothers Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong is the former general of the Dongwu Town Army and the pastor of Jingzhou Lu Kang; The father of Lu Kang is Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu and the prime minister. Two generations have guarded Jingzhou, deeply tied by kindness and righteousness, and the legacy is endless. Therefore, when Lu Shilong was the forward governor of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, went south, before the army reached the territory of Jingzhou, there were many soldiers and civilians from the south. However, two years later, when Lu Shiheng served as the general and governor of Hebei, there were no half of his cronies in the hundreds of thousands of troops, so that he was deceived by the partial generals...... Xu Zhonglang, you might as well think about it, where did all the subordinates that Lu Yun recruited in Jingzhou go? ”

Xu Run frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Kun's expression before asking softly, "Could it be that he took refuge in Lujiang Chen Min?" ”

Liu Kun nodded, and shook his head again: "After this private army was formed, it was not put into the war in Jingzhou because of the prevention of Liu Hong, the general of Zhennan. Lu Shilong then privately issued an order to send him to Guangling in an organized manner. The purpose of this move is now completely unclear. But soon after, Shi Bing, the general of the thief Zhang Chang, attacked Shouchun, and this private army fought side by side with Chen Min, who was then the branch of Guangling, and repelled ten times the enemy in a battle, and since then it has been under Chen Min's command. ”

Chen Min and his people, who have the friendship of fellow villagers with the Lu family, and are quite brave and strong, have tackled difficulties and fallen into danger in the war against Zhang Chang and Shi Bing, and have been invincible in more than 30 battles before and after. The people of the time praised and said: Jin Shengzhen is outside the river, Jingguang is in Yangchu, and his behavior is vaguely similar to several British lords who founded the country and established the foundation of Sun Wu. As a result, the Lu clan was introduced to Jiangdong celebrities Gu Rong and Gan Zhuo. Since then, Chen Min has made an offensive and defensive alliance with the Jiangdong clan, and with the support of the Jiangdong people, he has greatly expanded his strength and plotted against him. ”

Liu Kun accentuated his tone slightly and continued: "And Lu Yao and Lu Daoming served as the leader of Lu Shilong's recruitment of private soldiers in Jingxiang. He once followed Chen Min to Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and was quite meritorious, and was regarded as one of the few powerful generals under Chen Min, and it was likely that he was also an important role in plotting big things with Chen Min. Lu Shilong was afraid that this matter would leak out, which would not be conducive to the career of the two brothers, so he transferred Lu Yao back to his own side as the superintendent of the account...... If it weren't for this, maybe Lu Yao would have already participated in the rebellion that spread to half of the country and became one of the well-known traitors in the world! ”

Chen Min had already been defeated and died, and Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong died earlier. At the same time, after the Central Plains experienced the conquest of the kings, there were many books and classics, so this past was obliterated. However, my brother is now the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea, and he can read the information collected from various places in the palace at will, and accidentally deduces the situation from some clues. A few years ago, he heard that I had defeated the Huns in Bingzhou, and that his subordinates had a great meritorious service named Lu Yao, so he mentioned this old incident in his letter......"

Liu Kun said a lot in one breath, and felt a little tired. He closed his eyes again, rested for a while, and then sighed again: "I admired it a long time ago, Daoming's knowledge, art of war, and martial arts are really not like ordinary children of the Jiangdong Shi clan. Until he knew that he had the experience of moving to Jianghuai, he was originally an extremely experienced general, and all this was taken for granted. I also thought that it was strange that Daoming, as a child of the Jiangdong clan, only patrolled the north after suffering and did not return to his hometown...... Later, this question was also solved: in the Jianghuai area, there must be many people who know the relationship between Lu Daoming and Chen Min, if he returns to Jiangdong, in case he is denounced by someone with a heart, the Lu clan, which has been repeatedly injured, is likely to be implicated again. Thinking about it this way, Lu Daoming might as well fight in the army in Hebei, looking forward to having a chance to turn over. ”

"I see...... Xu Run swallowed his saliva, then got up and took the first gold-painted bronze wine jug, walked forward in small steps, and diligently poured half a cup of new wine for Liu Kun: "In this way, is this Lu Yao actually a traitor?" ”

"The word rebel is too much, but he is indeed not a pure minister of the Great Jin......" Liu Kun was stunned and sighed again. His appreciation and love for Lu Yao was indeed sincere from the heart, so after knowing the story that Lu Yao was hiding, he was extremely annoyed. But the anger had faded over time, and all that remained in his heart at the moment was a little regret.

Since Yuankang, the Central Plains has been swinging. The kings of the clan are in constant dispute, and those who occupy the center to give orders and those who occupy the place to command one side are born and destroyed, I don't know how many. Therefore, civil and military courtiers often have two masters, three lords or even more. For example, Liu Kun himself has successively served for Sima Lun, King of Zhao, Sima Yu, King of Qi, Sima Yu, King of Fanyang, and Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea. But after all, these clans are all descendants of Emperor Xuan, descendants of the Sima family; No matter how much you fight, strictly speaking, it is a royal family affair. And Lu Yao was once a subordinate of the great thief Chen Min, and he could never be the same as the former

"Lu Daoming and Bingzhou are afraid that there is no fate. Alas, I thought that this person could be a good horse for a thousand miles in the Great Jin, but unfortunately now it seems that he is just an eagle dog. Even if he is prosperous in Daijun, I am afraid that his achievements are only that. Liu Kun muttered a few words and drank the new wine.

Xu Run held the pot at the right time and filled the white jade wine cup in Liu Kun's hand, and hesitated: "Wang Pengzu is dead, Ding Shulun is busy cleaning up the mess in Jizhou, and the most powerful person in the land of Youyan at this time is Lu Daoming." Perhaps, the imperial court will deliberately give Lu Daoming a heavy responsibility? ”

Xu Run didn't care if Lu Yao was a pure minister of the Great Jin Dynasty at all. According to his thoughts, if Lu Daoming will only be an official in Youzhou from now on, he will be regarded as a stranger to the state...... This situation is not bad, as long as this person does not come to Jinyang to block his financial and power roads. For the rest, that's what counts so much.

Liu Kun stared at the turquoise wine in the wine cup, but he was not busy drinking: "There is a brother in the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea, and with his deep thoughts, he will never allow Lu Daoming to sit in the power of a high-ranking official. Zhonglang, you look at it, the eagle dog is just an eagle dog, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to keep up with Qiji in his life. Pity...... It's a pity......"
