Not to mention the indignation of the two Tian families. Encountering such rude people, Lu Yao's subordinate knights were also very angry. These warriors all came in the bloody storm, killing people and killing their hands slippery, and as the guards of the governor of Youzhou, they think of themselves higher, where can they allow others to try to collide? However, Lu Yao did not order punishment. So everyone could only gallop away, and on the way, they 'exchanged' each other's eyes, and they all felt that they were angry.

Lu Yao is approachable, he doesn't have any arrogance, and he treats his servants even more kindly, and he has always been uninhibited. Therefore, along the way, everyone observed the geography of mountains and rivers, discussed where to camp, where to station troops, where to use martial arts, talking and laughing, it was very lively. But at this time, after walking straight for three or five miles, no one spoke, and the queue was surprisingly quiet.

After a while, Ma Rui urged the horse from behind. Ma Rui is the second commander of the personal guard after He Yun, his status is different from others, and his words are not so scrupulous. He approached Lu Yao and said stupidly: "How rebellious this rat is, why didn't the lord order him to be beheaded?" ”

"A gentleman should be virtuous, why bother with these little things?" Lu Yao laughed: "Old horse, old horse, the world is so beautiful, but you are so irritable, this is not good, not good." ”

Ma Ruiquan didn't expect Lu Yao's cultivation to reach such a level, and he suddenly opened his mouth.

In today's war-torn and white-blooded situation, the so-called "world is so beautiful"; Sarcasm, of course. But the "virtuous load" is not fake.

Lu Yao, as a member of the imperial court, worshiped the general of Pingbei and the military of Youzhou, and was in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers. It's just that such a place that doesn't know life and death dares to rush into the queue and doesn't take him seriously. Lu Yao was naturally very annoyed, and he even thought of following the example of killing Tian Min a few days ago, and immediately beheaded this person to show the prestige of the military government. But it occurred to him at once that it was not appropriate to do so, although it was pleasant.

Lu Yao's status is different now, the number of people who 'socialize' has expanded rapidly, and the number of groups with interests or conflicts with him has also skyrocketed. These people and these groups cannot all be friendly, and many of them are hypocritical, wronged, and evil-minded, and there must even be people who have hidden murderous intentions. A man like this Tian is just one of the fools. But no matter how powerful Lu Yao is and how ruthless his methods are, can he kill them all? Lu Yao didn't want to be a lone husband, so for a long time, he had to learn to tolerate, compromise, and even seek the possibility of cooperation.

In this regard, Zu Ti, who was born in the Youzhou clan, is very good at it.

Take the resettlement of disaster victims as an example: these wealthy families can have today's acres of land and house slaves, relying on hundreds of years of continuous oppression and accumulation of people. And every year of disaster and famine, it is a good opportunity for them to embezzle and extort money and make a fortune. Although the imperial court has the function of providing relief and pacification to the displaced people, how can these families have participated in disaster relief and disaster relief? Occasionally, a few people took the initiative to send money and food for relief, but they just had the idea of seeking fame and office. But when Zu Ti was in charge of Youzhou's assassination history, he was able to drive the county and county clans to contribute together, each taking their own responsibility, and using the power of the entire Youzhou clan? forces to settle the homeless. Among them, there must be extremely complex trade-offs, analysis and interest 'exchange', and it also requires very superb organization and coordination skills. Of course, Zu Ti was originally the leader of the scholars in Youzhou before he came out, and he was quite prestigious, which also brought great convenience to his actions.

Lu Yao knew that he never had the talent of Zu Ti to sort out the weights of the wealthy families under his rule, but he hoped that he could at least do not offend each other. Therefore, once is enough to kill people and establish authority; If you do too much, you will really stand on the opposite side of the high 'gate' of the scholar clan, and unforeseen events will arise. Of course, if the Tian clan really didn't know what to do, then Lu Yao had his own means to clean them up.

After walking for more than ten miles, everyone put aside the unhappiness of being provoked by the Tian family, and the military camp in Quanzhou was also close.

The main road to the barracks first passed through the county seat of Quanzhou. Hearing that General Pingbei had crossed the border, the county commander took the county's subordinate officials out to greet him, and also temporarily prepared some grain, cattle and wine for the use of the labor army. Lu Yao dealt with the county order for a few words, then said goodbye to them, and continued to the south with the people assigned by the county order to transport supplies.

After arriving at the barracks, I saw that the 'gate' of the camp was wide open, the military flags were unfurled, the spears and halberds were lined up, and hundreds of paces were silently standing and waiting in the school yard. The commander of this military camp is Ni Yi. Ni Yi was originally the commander of the beggar army, because he went to various places with Lu Yao and made many meritorious achievements, he was promoted to seven or eight levels in a few months, and now he has become the commander of the army in charge of thousands of people. At this time, he was wearing heavy armor and holding a long knife, and his expression was solemn and lined up with more than a dozen officers, just like the embarrassed pawn a few months ago.

The smoke and dust 'stirred' by Lu Yao and his cavalry were still far away, and the generals of the whole army bowed down together to greet them. Lu Yao bowed slightly to Ni Yi, and without being verbose, he galloped directly into the camp and began to proofread.

The various processes of the review, the officers who came with Lu Yao were all proficient, first tried to ride 'shooting', then tried to 'shoot', then tried to 'shoot', then the spear, spear, sword and shield skills, and finally watched the drill of the retreating battle formation, and at the same time also 'sampled' the talent and courage of the officers and colonels. As the sun went down, the proofreading was completed. It can be seen that Ni Yi is very dedicated to training and leading the troops, and only more than 30 people have been eliminated out of 1,200 people, which is less than the previous seven camps, and the results of 'shooting' the target and the familiarity of the golden drum queue are also very 'outstanding'.

For the weak under Shatai, they have their own accompanying clerks to register them and transfer them to the Tuntian soldiers. The rest of the soldiers continued to stay in the school field to participate in the subsequent awards and condolences.

According to the list of meritorious services, Lu Yao personally distributed the gold and silk property he brought with him, and also made additional formal appointments to a large number of officers and military officers. Previously, Lu Yao's status was not enough, although there were a large number of troops, but most of the officers at all levels were urgently appointed according to the needs of wartime, and without the relevant reporting and compilation procedures, they were like temporary workers who did not have the establishment in later generations, until Lu Yao became the general of the governor of a state, and then he had the authority to turn all of them into regulars. Each time he appoints a person, Lu Yao will ask him about the battles he has experienced, the exploits he has made, praise his bravery, and give him cordial comfort and encouragement.

Those who mourn are the victims of previous battles. Since Lu Yao led the troops to leave Yecheng, he has been forging ahead, and there has been almost no battle for half a year, and the number of casualties among the grassroots soldiers is extremely large. There were twenty Bingzhou warriors who accompanied Lu Yao to Yecheng, and only eight of them are still alive now; And the horse thieves of the Doulu Inspectorate who were incorporated when they first entered the Dai County are now less than one-tenth! Of course, such a casualty rate is not suitable for publicizing in too large a scene, and if it is too much, it may be suspected of dampening morale. However, in a small area of about 1,000 people, the desire of the soldiers to seek fame and fortune is first raised by rewards, and then the loyalty and service of the soldiers are cultivated with words of consolation.

At about the time of unitary, the proofreading is complete. Ni Yi was going to send Lu Yao off, but he heard Lu Yao say casually: "It's late, it's not easy to walk at night, let's stay here today!" ”

Ni Yi was very honored, and hurriedly responded, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

He left with his front foot, and a guard on duty outside the camp came from the back foot to report: "The people of Funiu Village have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Good!" Lu Yao was overjoyed, and first pointed out one person to inform Ni Yi, and said that he would go out for a walk and would return soon. Then he led the horses and rode out of the camp.

He just said that it is not easy to walk at night, and this walk is more than ten miles. As he walked, the sky was already dark, and when the accompanying knight took out the Songming torch and lit it, he could already hear the rumbling sound of the 'tide' water hitting the shore, which was already on the bank of the Juma River and was about to leave the boundary of Youzhou.

The Juma River is the only one of the many rivers in Youzhou that does not freeze in winter, and the water is still very turbulent. It is precisely because the river is as fast as a giant horse galloping that it got the name of the giant horse river. A few hundred steps further on, there is the ferry. There used to be villages and inns near the ferry, but in recent years they have been abandoned, so several caravans can only rest in a sheltered col by the ferry, waiting for the river to cross the river tomorrow.

Ma Rui rode close to the col, waved his torch, and immediately someone hurried out to meet him.

The first one knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the general." ”

"Master Zhang Zhai has worked hard all the way. Hurry up, we are old acquaintances, no need to be polite. Lu Yao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.

Half of the arm of the "Master Zhang Zhai" was held by Lu Yao, and he insisted on making a big salute awkwardly, and said respectfully: "The general has an order, we should obey it, where can it be called hard." ”

The person who came was the right-hand man sent by Hu Liuniang's subordinates in the former Funiu Village, and the master of Zhang Zhai, who had come forward to receive the county lord of Jingling.

After the Funiu village was captured by the Xiongnu army, the villagers had to leave the base that had been operating for many years and went to the plains to survive. At first, he was attached to the wing of the Shangdang Taishou Wen Qiao, but later Lu Yao gained a foothold in Daijun and ordered Hu Liuniang to manage Cangcao, and Hu Liuniang sent someone to pass on the message and summoned his subordinates to come and attach him. Now Hu Liuniang's identity is different, so Lu Yao thought a few days ago that he wanted to find a way out for these old grass 'hair' thieves.

"What I want you to do, have you made it clear? Can the candidate be decided? How's the preparation going? ”

"It's all clear. In our village, there are many 'chickens' and dog thieves from all over the world, and they are the best at finding out the news. What's more, there is also Brother Bond to help, and all preparations and cover measures have been arranged. Everyone pretended to be a caravan of cattle and horses, and tomorrow they crossed the river to the Central Plains. Zhang Zhai replied in a deep voice.

Brother Bond, it's about the Ma Bond who was named by Lu Yao because of his obscene appearance. This person was originally the leader of the fox society rats in Guangchang County, Dai County, and when Lu Yao entered Dai County, Hu Liuniang subdued this person in Guangchang and sent him to serve under Zhu Sheng. This gentleman has a lot of cunning and treacherous talents, and he travels back and forth to various parts of the grassland, and he has probed some false and real information. Now Lu Yao intends to extend the spy reconnaissance network to the south, so he urgently transferred him to cooperate with everyone in Funiu Village to act together.

Hearing what the owner of Zhang Zhai said, Lu Yao nodded: "You are all veterans, I can trust it." ”

He looked at Zhang Zhai's dress, and said with a smile: "But your outfit, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a rich businessman." Alas...... Shouldn't you pack up? ”

The costume of the master of Zhang Zhai has always been very simple, and when he was in the Taihang Mountains in the past, it seemed that those green forest heroes were out of place. After the village was burned down, he led his people to struggle to survive, so he became more and more old. I saw that his face was dark, his skin was as rough as that of an old peasant, he was wearing old clothes of coarse cloth, and his belt was made of gray and black old cloth spliced and sewn, and he also 'inserted' a horsewhip diagonally. Lu Yao is right, he really doesn't look like a businessman.

But as soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, a person walked out behind the master of Zhang Zhai: "Don't worry about this idle 'worry', how can Lao Zhang pretend to be a rich businessman?" He just needs to be a groom leader. This caravan is mine! ”
