As a member of the clan, King Xin Cai also served as a general of the chariot and cavalry, and the military governor of Yecheng. The Great Jin Dynasty is in the north of the Great River in the four towns of Hebei, And, You, and Ping, and the officials are all under the new Cai King, and the imperial court center uses the new Cai King to control the Hebei Prefectures. This made Yue Shigong very unhappy, so he sent Lu Yao, who was born in the remnants of the state army, to Yecheng, and had the intention of demonstrating to King Xincai. Lu Yao thought to himself that he was sandwiched between these two high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and if he couldn't bear the humiliation, he was afraid that he would have to suffer.

But Lu Yao knew very well that it was precisely because of this that King Xin Cai would more or less allocate some money and grain to Jinyang. As everyone knows, Bingzhou has been repeatedly war-torn and has become impoverished to the point of no return, and both human, financial, and material resources are on the verge of exhaustion. If King Xin Cai really dares to pull out a dime, in case there is anything wrong with the state, the people of the world will only laugh at the predecessor who has tens of thousands of troops but has been repeatedly defeated and lost his division and land. Although King Xin Cai is incompetent, he has a good face and will never allow himself to become the laughing stock of the world.

Lu Yao can see this situation clearly. With Li Yun's status and vision, there is naturally no reason to be blind. But he asserted that Jin Yang's request for help would definitely be fruitless, which made Lu Yao a little stunned.

"General Li, why do you say this?" Lu Yao asked.

"I, Li Yun, dare to say that, naturally there are ten reasons." Li Yun poured a bowl of wine on his neck, and slammed the wine bowl: "Today's Yecheng has been depleted and there is no surplus wealth, where can I support the annexation of the state?" ”

"General Li, don't tell me ......" Lu Yao shook his head again and again: "Wei County's household registration is prosperous in Hebei, and Yecheng is a well-known thoroughfare in the world. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the Chan Dynasty has been carefully operated, and this dynasty relies on it as the Sizhou barrier. The richness of Yecheng is known to the world; Yecheng has the attention of the king of the East China Sea, and the wealth of Hebei is gathered here, which is also well known. Since King Xin Cai ruled Yecheng, he only needed to take the slightest thing in the treasury, which was enough to cover the entire city of Jinyang. ”

He glanced at Li Yun and said half-jokingly: "Is it because it is not easy to meet King Xincai, and General Li deliberately set up words to prevaricate?" ”

Li Yun changed color and said: "I, Li Yun, am a person who talks nonsense!" ”

He looked left and right, leaned over and whispered to Lu Yao, "I won't tell you." Since the reign of King Xin Cai, the local wealth has been put into his private door and is no longer owned by the state. Such as Zhou Liang, Shi Xian, Sima Yu, etc., all of them are extravagant, stealing the treasury day and night to enrich themselves. Wute once went to the military government to inquire about the military funds accumulated over the years, but it has long been carved up by greedy beetles! ”

Bo Sheng nodded on the side and said, "What General Li said is good. What is even more infuriating is that King Xin Cai himself is extremely close to the use of resources, but he claims that the Yecheng treasury is wasted and cannot pay military salaries. The soldiers complained to the sky, and we could hardly suppress them. ”

He slapped the case in front of him: "In the long run, if there is a change, what is good?" ”

"What do you say? What if something changes? Li Yun squinted at Bo Sheng and sneered: "A few days ago, Shi Yangheng, the head of the chariot, and Cai Ke, who was engaged in Zhonglang, made a statement to persuade King Xin Cai to strengthen his armament, so as not to give Jisang thieves a chance. What do you say, His Royal Highness King Xincai? His Royal Highness said: Alone in Bingzhou for seven years, Hu besieged the city and could not be overcome. Jisang thief, why worry! So the sheep and Cai Erjun were expelled from the stick, and the military was abandoned as before! ”

"Alas!" Bo Sheng raised the wine bowl and compared it to Lu Yao, and poured it down again.

"Zeck?" Lu Yao was taken aback: "The Cai Zhonglang you are talking about, is it actually that Chen Liucai Ke Cai Zini?" ”

"Uh...... That's it. Li Yun burped: "This Cai Zhonglang was originally living in seclusion at home. After King Xin Cai semi-forcibly recruited him to engage in Zhonglang, he didn't take him seriously. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Cai Ke Cai Zini is a fellow villager of Chen Liu, the author of "On Migration", Jiang Tong, and he became famous at a young age. This gentleman is a secretary and has a straightforward personality, and is praised as "today's righteous person" by the left servant of Shangshu Shan Jian. During the Tai'an period, Cai Ke was Sima Yingdong Cao Peng, the king of Chengdu, when Shiheng Gong was framed by traitors, and the Lu family would be killed. Although he failed to persuade the king of Chengdu to change his mind in the end, for Lu Yao, this move was enough to make him deeply grateful and remember it to this day. Such a character was insulted by Sima Teng, no wonder Li Yun and Bo Sheng couldn't stand it.

"Don't say that it is the county soldiers of Wei County, even if we beg, don't we have a meal?" Bo Sheng also slapped the wine cup hard, but he didn't grasp it well, and the wine cup rolled down to the ground: "There are more than 20,000 households in Wei County with King Xincai in the east, how many of them can eat a full meal now?" Give us a few generals and captains, and ignore them, thinking that the soldiers are all grassy? Begging, begging, if you continue like this, you won't be able to live! ”

Lu Yao shook his head again and again, not knowing what to say. He smiled bitterly and got up to retrieve the wine cup for Bo Sheng: "Be cautious, be cautious." Captain Bo, you're drunk. ”

On this day, the three of them sat down and drank until the sun went down. When it was time to break up, Li Yun drunkenly patted Lu Yao's shoulder: "Daoming, I met today, I said a little more, don't take it to heart...... Your business...... It's my business! Tomorrow morning, you will wait in front of the palace of King Xincai...... I'll bring you into the house. We are all fighting men, and we are not angry with those villains! ”

The louder he spoke, the louder he became, apparently drunk. Bo Sheng's face was flushed, and his mind was finally clear, so he helped Li Yun to walk away.

Lu Yao watched the two leave, and went to lead the horse back to the guest house to rest.

Li Yunqi was a very reliable person among the senior military attachés of the former Bingzhou Army, and since he promised to introduce him tomorrow, there was no need to praise Zhou Liang's stinky feet today.

Regarding the matter of meeting King Xincai, Lu Yao was not very excited. In the past, when Sima Teng was still the assassin of Dongying and the state, Lu Yao had seen him as a subordinate military master, and he really had a bad impression of him.

What's more, with Yue Shigong's arrogant temperament, he must think that he is enough to turn the tide, where will he bend over and beg for some food and wealth? It's just that because the king of the East China Sea has a letter, he has to send people to Yecheng. When I saw Sima Teng tomorrow, I said two sentences and presented the letter from Yue Shigong.

Instead, you have to plan your next step. Tuoba Xianbei Sacrifice Ceremony is approaching, what should I do? After the matter in Yecheng, you have to go to Xindu first and contact Ding Shao, the assassin of Jizhou, and Ding Miao and Ding Wenhao will be used during this time.

And then there's Daishire. Daijun Hu and Han are miscellaneous, and the situation is very special. How to complete the task of Yueshi bus generation, this is very complicated. It depends on how much help the Ding Thorn Shi in Jizhou can give, how much help Hu Liuniang's connections in Daijun can provide, how much confrontation between Yilu and Luguan, the uncle and nephew, has reached, and what measures Wen Qiao, as an official envoy, has...... Come to think of it, it's just four words.

Lu Yao paced slowly and walked towards the pavilion in the south of the city. Suddenly, I thought again: Ding Miao and Xue Tong are okay, Shen Jin and others have been strictly ordered by themselves, and they can't stay in the guest house all day long, just afraid that they will be bored and sick. Shouldn't they also be allowed to go out for a walk?

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yao no longer went to Langzhong Lingfu, but went to Sima Gate at the end of the north and south long streets to wait for Li Yun.

Li Yun really came as promised, and led Lu Yao in. After the Sima Gate, there are Xianyang Gate, Xuanyang Gate, Shengxian Gate, and finally to the daily office of King Xincai, General Che Cai, and Governor Yecheng Military Sima Teng. Even if Li Yun was introduced, the rules of the princes and kings of the court were great after all, and King Xin Cai was not so easy to see. Therefore, Lu Yao was still ready to consume the whole day.

However, Lu Yao never expected that just as he was straightening his mood and waiting for the audience, a conspiracy unfolded quietly.
