Lu Yao knows that the key to governing the army lies in the principle of people, as the so-called thousands of people are of one heart, and only then can they get the power of thousands of people; If ten thousand people have different hearts, there is no one to use them. Therefore, the more urgent the situation of the war, the more important it is for those who are in charge to boost their morale and unite the fighting spirit of the same enemy. His nightly routine inspections were also made to this end, including not only inspecting the layout of arrowtowers and trenches, but also a large number of encouraging work such as condolences to soldiers and comforting the wounded. It has become a habit to act like this, and some soldiers who have followed Lu Yao for a long time can even pick up on the topic of the previous time and joke with Lu Yao.

But tonight, Lu Yao seemed to be as usual but occasionally a little worried, and half a day after Pang Yuan left, he ended his inspection ahead of schedule and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army's tent.

Outside the big tent, the halberd armor soldiers guarded the surroundings, and Pang Yuan personally stood outside the door with his sword. Seeing Lu Yao coming, he bowed and saluted, made another proper gesture, and then dodged to get out of the way.

Lu Yao's large tent of the Chinese army is simply furnished, the tent is unburned, and only two oil lamps are lit. Under the flickering faint light, Lu Jun's upright figure was reflected. This young high-ranking official simply freshened up and changed into a clean robe, showing a restrained and deep demeanor, and his own nobility. Obviously, Lu Jun had finished dressing early and had been waiting; This can be called immediately, without the slightest delay.

The last two leaders of the Jiangdong Lu family bowed their heads to each other, and Lu Yao casually unfolded a palm-sized coarse cloth on the case: "Daoyan, good vision, good scheming." ”

This quick coarse cloth was temporarily torn off by Lu Jun from his robe, and there were a few lines of fly-headed small characters on it. It turned out that after Lu Jun subdued Ye Yunzheng, he wrote what he learned on the corner of his clothes and put it into the leather bag in front of Huang Er's neck. Huang Er is extremely wise, and he has his own way to infiltrate the main army of the Youzhou Army and reach Lu Yao directly.

"After Ye Yunzheng learned the identity of your envoy, he immediately sent someone to inform the Jizhou general, and deliberately slowed down his march...... The purpose is to wait for the heavy generals sent by the Jizhou army to rush to the direction of Wating, and not allow me to control the communication with the king of the East China Sea alone? Haha, Bo Sheng had this idea, no wonder it came so suddenly......" Lu Yao smiled softly: "It's Ye Yunzheng, a scout team leader, and this action is quite clever." In order to convince this person, Michihiko must have spent a lot of words. ”

Lu Jun said respectfully: "Since you are a smart person, you know the severity. What's more, this person was first intimidated by his brother's great military might, and I just pushed the boat with the current. ”

Lu Yao shook his head and said indifferently: "If you can deter the Jizhou army with military power alone, where will such a thing happen." ”

After the Battle of Yecheng last year, several beggar marshals, including Li Yun, broke out into internal strife for power and profit, which eventually evolved into a brutal fight involving tens of thousands of people. As a result, the beggar army suffered heavy losses, and the rest was forced to move to Shangbai, Jizhou. Since the begging army has been weakened, the Jizhou army, with the rest of the beggar army as the backbone, is naturally far from being able to compare with the elite soldiers and horses in Youzhou. It was Lu Yao who won the position of commander of the coalition forces by virtue of his military superiority; Even Yangwu General Li Yun himself can only be willing to be the second lieutenant.

However, it is easy to gain an advantage, but it is difficult to win hearts and minds. Since the generals and colonels of Jizhou are keen on fame and fortune, the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers are also affected, some people are unwilling to become vassals of the Youzhou Army, and some people are full of doubts about the Youzhou Army. Once it is discovered that there are high-ranking officials of the imperial court who serve as envoys and name Lu Yao, such as Ye Yunzheng and others, they will inevitably think too much. Even the generals of the Jizhou Army behind him may be worried that Lu Yao will encroach on his own interests by virtue of his special relationship with the King of the East China Sea. Since they all think so, it is inevitable to resort to some shady small means.

It's a pity that Ye Yunzheng bumped into a shrewd person like Lu Jun, and his small means were seen through at a glance. Lu Jun just changed his words directly, and Bo Sheng rushed in vain.

The two Lu brothers haven't seen each other for many years, but they still maintain this tacit understanding, which is really rare. At this, both smiled.

"Interesting, interesting." Lu Yao looked at the coarse cloth full of small characters in his hand with great interest, and then looked at Lu Jun: "You and I were willful and chivalrous when we were young, and we often made peace with each other in Luoyang City. Today's situation reminds me of the ease and happiness I had at that time. ”

"The problem is ......" Without waiting for Lu Jun to answer, the warmth in Lu Yao's eyes suddenly faded, and he became a little more cautious and vigilant: "Daoyan, why are you doing this?" ”

"What do you mean by that, brother?" Lu Jun was still smiling.

"The king of the East China Sea was in charge of the government as an emperor and had always relied on the support of local powerful towns. The Youzhou Army is one of the important forces supporting His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea, and at its peak, it has the power to change the situation around the court. After the death of Wang Pengzu, in order to continue to win over the Youzhou army and stabilize the position of the East China Sea King in the center, His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea not only granted me the power of Fang Zhen and made an appointment with me as a son-in-law, but also specially treated the Lu clan and promoted Daoyan to a high-ranking official. Such a deliberate cultivation is not unkind to me. Lu Yao leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lu Jun fiercely: "Up to now, Wang Mishi has been in turmoil, the Central Plains is swinging, and the king of the East China Sea is becoming increasingly difficult in military affairs, and his reliance on Youzhou's military strength is only heavier. Under such circumstances, if Michihiko came as an envoy of the King of the East China Sea, he would definitely give me a lot of encouragement, and it would only enhance my status in the Youji Alliance. Is there something behind this? Why do you bother to keep the Jizhou generals out? Michihiko, it makes no sense for you to act like this, unless...... Unless ......"

Lu Yao took a deep breath and couldn't say anything for a while.

Lu Jun smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, just like back then, my brother has always been so thoughtful." That's right, the reason why I have to avoid the eyes and ears of the people of Jizhou is because my true identity and the information I brought are not suitable for them to understand. ”

Lu Yao seemed to be tired, he closed his eyes and muttered, "Whose messenger are you?" Let's just say it. ”

Lu Jun bowed his head and whispered two words: "Shi Le." ”

"Bang!"

Lu Yao slapped it with one palm, smashing the case in front of him to pieces. The green-glazed dragon-shaped pen holder placed on the desk fell to the ground and shattered; Pen and ink dossiers flew high and fell with a clatter; The tiger head cloud pattern scarf he often wore on weekdays rolled all the way to Lu Jun's feet, dripping and spinning.

Ma Rui, who was guarding outside the camp tent, heard a loud noise, suddenly opened the curtain and rushed in, and was about to ask something, but heard Lu Yao shouting: "Get out!" ”

"Yes...... Yes, yes! Pang Yuan crawled out of the tent, and almost twisted his waist without paying attention.

Lu Yao turned to stare at Lu Jun, the green tendons on his temples suddenly jumped, and his eyes were like blades: "I once heard that when Shi Le was in Jizhou, he gathered the well-dressed people who took refuge in one place, called the Gentlemen's Camp, which was specially used by Shi Le for advice. I hate these people who are tigers, and I often hate to kill them inexhaustibly. ”

Probably influenced by the memories of later generations, Lu Yao always has a special feeling for homeless bandits. He hated their rampant rampage, but also sympathized with their desperation. What he never forgot was that those thieves were also ordinary people, and they were cornered and forced to become thieves due to natural and man-made disasters. In contrast, those bureaucrats who have taken refuge in thieves are an unforgivable group of people. They were favored by the Great Jin Dynasty as officials, enjoyed a good life, and did not think about helping the situation, but they turned into the most vicious accomplices of the thieves!

Thinking of this, the power that General Pingbei cultivated from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain was unleashed without restraint. With his words, the strong murderous aura was like a flash flood, and for a while, it seemed as if the temperature in the entire tent had dropped. Lu Jun was in the brunt of it, suddenly felt that his breath was not smooth, the hair on the back of his head was stirring, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Brother misunderstood." Lu Jun tried his best to keep his voice steady, but the faint tremor finally revealed a bit of his true feelings: "Although I am not talented, I am also a famous clan of Southern Xia and a courtier of the Great Jin Dynasty, how can I be willing to be a minion of Shile?" It's just that a few days ago, he was accidentally captured by the thief army, so he was entrusted by Shile to come to pass the word to his brother. ”

Lu Yao suppressed his anger a little, sat down again, frowned and slowly cleaned up the clutter scattered in front of him: "I'm listening here." What does Schler want to say? ”

"Shile has something that he intends to give to his brother."

"What?"

"The life of the King of the East China Sea."
