Chapter 136: Final Decision (6)
At this time, the so-called "greeting" is the real greeting. Lu Yao, Wen Qiao, and Ding Miao who were present were all high-ranking officials who were more than 2,000 stones, and the three of them went out of the tent to greet them together, and the number of etiquette was not insignificant. After frustrating Murong Longcheng's spirit, he was treated with heavy courtesy, and the way of communication was relaxed, that is.
For defensive reasons, the gallop leading from the large tent to the 'gate' was not straight, but a twisting and turning, winding down between the layers of military tents. Lu Yao and the others walked slowly, and when the 'gate' was approaching, Xue Tong accompanied Murong Longcheng and arrived just right.
Through the spear halberd erected by the forest, Lu Yao saw the black-clothed young man walking in the front at a glance.
It wasn't the first time he had met with Murong Longcheng. A few days ago, the dusty Changshan thief envoy, Lu Yao still remembers clearly. But at this time, Murong Longcheng no longer had the idea of hiding his identity, and he suddenly looked sharp. This person's figure is almost as tall as Xue Tong, with broad shoulders and back, and extremely handsome. Although he had just been deflated by Xue Tong's hands, he talked and laughed with Xue Tong, and seemed to be completely unaffected, but Xue Tong was a little restrained compared to the young man, as if he was a guard.
He was wearing a black 'color' light armor, a black robe and a black 'color' cloak, but his skin was snow-white, his face was very clearly contoured, and the bridge of his nose and eyebrows gave people a special feeling of rigidity and desire. What's even more impressive is his pupils, which are actually deep blue and blue, full of bewitching beauty.
"It is rumored that the bloodline of the Murong clan in Liaoxi is special, and there are more handsome men and beautiful 'women'...... Well deserved! Shao Xu couldn't help but admire.
And Lu Yao couldn't help but exclaim in the depths of his heart: It's really like!
Lu Yao asked himself if he was barely handsome, but when it came to his appearance, he was really thrown a few streets away by a figure like Murong Longcheng who was enough to become an idol superstar in later generations. Therefore, the so-called likeness does not refer to physiognomy. Rather, it refers to the extreme similarity of the temperament of the two.
Lu Yao felt this almost the moment he saw Murong Dragon City. He believed that Murong Longcheng also felt it.
has endured humiliation for many years, has also borne the heavy responsibility of family rejuvenation, is also accustomed to forbearance but can hardly suppress the blood and sharpness in his heart, and is also fighting his way out of countless life-and-death struggles...... It's too much of a resemblance. Lu Yao looked at Murong Longcheng, as if he saw himself struggling under Sima Teng's command at the beginning. However, Lu Yao is no longer the original master of the state army, and the soul of the traverser has brought him a stronger inner body, making him confident that he has the means and vision to overcome all difficulties. And what about Murong Dragon City?
He certainly doesn't have a vision ahead of his time, but he's definitely a cunning, tenacious and ferocious wolf!
Lu Yao and Murong Longcheng both felt that the other party was paying attention to and measuring themselves. What these two people represent is the Jin army of Lu Yao's subordinate who has risen suddenly like a meteor since the beginning of the decade, and the Changshan bandits who have been standing in the deep mountains and ravines and competing with the imperial court for decades, and they are the most powerful forces in the current Dai County. Among the people present, although the highest official position was Wen Qiao, who was a close confidant of Liu Kun, the general of Pingbei, but in the land infested by Hu Feng in northern Xinjiang, only those who mastered the force had the greatest right to speak.
"General Lu?" Murong Longcheng was the first to greet him.
"Murong is in charge." Lu Yao returned the salute with a smile.
"After a fierce battle on the shore of Qiyi Water five days ago, I was thinking about what kind of person General Lu is who uses soldiers like a god." Murong Longcheng said with a smile: "When I saw it today, it was really as heroic as I imagined. ”
The corners of Lu Yao's mouth couldn't help twitching: "Why should the big boss be polite, that scene is just a kid's running and playing." The name of the black-clothed assassin is famous in northern Xinjiang, and it is Lu's honor to see it today. ”
Although the two were polite, there was still some sharpness in their words. Wen Qiao hurriedly made a round and said with a smile: "Brother Longcheng, you're late." ”
"Brother Lao Taizhen has been waiting for a long time...... Murong Longcheng has a lot of respect for Wen Qiao: "The savages in the mountains have not listened to the imperial court for many years, so they are a little at a loss. There were also a few leaders who were stubborn, and it took me some effort to subdue them one by one. ”
"Leader Murong, I have heard that the Changshan army is not subordinate to each other, and there are as many as seventeen shares in total. Your Majesty has only received a larger portion of it. Shao continued to ask: "Today we will be here to join forces. Can you really guarantee that there will be no one who disobeys the court in the five hundred miles of Changshan? ”
He is Lu Yao's chief staff. At this point, it's not rude to 'interject'.
Murong Longcheng squinted his eyes and looked at Shao Xu, and waved his hand indifferently: "Yes!" Absolutely! In the past four days, I personally led the army and combed through the mountains between Xiyang and Pingshu. The six cottages that were unwilling to submit to the imperial court, and the three horse thieves who were determined to follow the Duan Division, have all been destroyed by me, and a total of 2,685 pieces of the first rank have been obtained. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Lu Yao attacked and replaced the county in the first month, and the people of the time thought it was a feat, but the speed of this Murong Longcheng army seemed to be not under Lu Yao. The timing he chose was so right, and his methods were so ruthless and tough, which made people have to admire.
“…… Two thousand six hundred and eighty-five for the first stage? "Shao Xu's face was a little pale. Although the Changshan army has been operating since the end of the Han Dynasty, it cannot afford to support too many soldiers and civilians by relying on the production of barren mountains and wilderness. How many could this force have at its peak? And Murong Longcheng actually killed two thousand six hundred and eighty-five people in four days? Shao Xu knew very well that the more than 2,600 'sexual' lives would never come entirely from Chang Shan thieves. Obviously, Murong Longcheng was under the banner of eliminating those who were attached to the Duan Department in the Changshan Army, and completely cleared the vast area between the Yan'men of Bingzhou and the Dai County of Youzhou.
"Yes, all those who will not obey me have been killed. In the future, the five hundred miles of Changshan will be the Changshan of my Murong Longcheng alone. Since I have determined to serve the imperial court, there will never be the slightest noise from the top and bottom of the Changshan army. Murong Longcheng's tone was flat, as if he was talking about some trivial matter, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, that's right." China and the DPRK took the first rank to mark the merits, but now that the weather is getting hotter, it is inconvenient to carry the first rank, so I have 2,685 ears cut off and bring it, so that the princes will not say that I am blowing nonsense. If you have time, you may wish to take your time. ”
Shao Xu hurriedly said: "Why do you need to inspect it, why do you need to inspect it." ”
Murong Longcheng laughed and walked forward side by side with Lu Yao.
The two of them didn't take a few steps, and the commanders of the Hu clan of the Daijun tribe rushed out one after another. Seeing Murong Longcheng, there were several people who bowed deeply from a distance. There were even people who followed behind Murong Longcheng's flank as a matter of course. Even if the leader of the Changshan Army had just been choked at Xue Tong's hands, those Hu'er still seemed to be more respectful to him than to Lu Yao.
Shao Xu looked at Wen Qiao, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wen Qiao's relentless tongue made Murong Longcheng give up the idea of dominating Daijun and 'handed' Daijun back to the imperial court. However, during the period when Lu Yao waved his army eastward and suppressed the Daijun Zhuhu along the way, Murong Longcheng turned to sweep away all the tribes in the western part of Daijun that were fighting against him, and united the vast mountainous areas across the two states of Youhe into a monolith. And he held high the banner of serving the imperial court, so that no one had any room to 'interfere'.
"Brother Murong, good means, good planning!" Lu Yao also had to sigh.
When Xue Tong hedged with an iron horse, Shao Xu nervously dissuaded him, and Lu Yao understood this very well. Governing the country must be complicated by the king's domineering, and the same is true for governing a state and a county. Murong Longcheng is such a powerful 'color', and he needs to deal with it with 120,000 'spirits' at any time, and he can't simply be regarded as a colleague, let alone easily driven by a subordinate. If properly coordinated, this person is enough to be a heavy weapon to deter Hu'er; However, if you are a little careless, the eastern part of the section Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei, which have suffered because of this, is a lesson from the past. Therefore, Shao Xu hopes that he will not be tough, but use a relatively gentle method and enough patience to deal with it. In this way, it may take a long time, but after all, it will be able to win the support of the hearts of the people of Daidi and Murong Longcheng in a steady and peaceful way.
Shao Xu is a very competent staff member, his vision is very accurate, and his opinions are usually very reasonable, but this time Lu Yao can't take it. Because Lu Yao clearly knows that there is not much time left before the real 'chaotic' world. In order to gather enough strength before the frenzy arrives, it is necessary to seize every opportunity and choose the method that can achieve the fastest results.
At this moment, even if Murong Longcheng is unruly, even if the newly attached tribes are still suspicious, even if the eastern part of Duanbu Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei are still eyeing each other, Lu Yao's determination to subdue Daijun will not change in the slightest.
Fortunately...... Lu Yao's eyes searched the crowd and found the man in the dust, but his face was as cold as iron, smiling and bowing.
