The setting sun shines through the trees, leaving dappled light and shadow on the ground, and the feet rustle on the scattered fallen leaves. Not long ago, General Yingyang, who had just commanded a large battle of more than 10,000 people in the grassland and won a stunning victory, walked among the trees, unconsciously "snapping" and pressing the metacarpal joint of his left finger, as if he had encountered a major problem.

Unconsciously, the sky had gradually become dark, but Lu Yao kept wandering, as if he had no intention of stopping.

Shao Xu looked at He Yun and made a look. He Yun shook his head again and again. So Shao Xu coughed, lifted the corner of his robe, and personally stepped into the forest: "General, Ding Wenhao sent someone to report that he planned to rush to Guangzong overnight. Whether you plan to travel with him or if you have other arrangements, please decide as soon as possible. ”

"Oh?" Lu Yao suddenly woke up from his trance. He took a step in the direction that Shao Xu was coming from, and waved his hand with a certain attitude: "This matter cannot be delayed, I should walk with Ding Wenhao." ”

Shao Xu asked: "Then, how should we react to Jinyang's actions?" ”

"What does Shao Gong think of Jinyang?" Lu Yao asked rhetorically.

Shao Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a subordinate official of the state. ”

Lu Yao looked at Shao Xu's face, which looked deep although he was smiling, lowered his eyelids slightly, and was silent. Both of them understood that Shao Xu was asking how to deal with Jinyang on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to know whether Lu Yao, who already had considerable strength, was determined to part ways with the old people in the past and truly embark on the road of self-reliance.

This issue is not only critical to Lu Yao. For Shao Xu, it is also of great significance. This famous man of Anyang in Wei County once assisted the king of Chengdu to the point where he was a millimeter away from the supreme, but unfortunately the time was not good, and the difference of a millimeter eventually returned to heaven; And because of this, he offended the princes of the dynasty, and had to retreat to his hometown to be an idle Tian Sheweng, until a few years later, Lu Yao, who also had the background of the king of Chengdu but vaguely had extraordinary ambitions, became Shao Xu's new choice by chance.

There is no doubt that Shao Xu is even more reluctant than Lu Yao to see Daijun being included in the sphere of influence of the Assassin of the Merged Prefecture, and he does not have the slightest intention of serving as a subordinate of the Assassin of the Consolidated Prefecture!

Lu Yao's Chinese officers in the county military government were very few, and Shao Xu Shao Sizu was the one with the highest status and the heaviest responsibility. Household registration, farming, water conservancy, armaments, trade and other matters were almost completely controlled by Shao Xu and his subordinates. Once Shao Xu gave up Lu Yao, the collapse of Daijun government affairs was imminent. This may be Shao Xu's subtle threat to Lu Yao, Lu Yao can naturally hear the strings and know the elegant meaning.

Lu Yao walked forward slowly, and did not stop until he stood side by side with Shao Xu. His eyes stared into the distance, and as his face turned pale, his eyes became more and more aggressive.

Shao Xu looked at Lu Yao expectantly, waiting for his reply. Lu Yao at this moment is already different from the young general Shao Xu saw outside the Jianchun Gate of Yecheng a few months ago. The interests of a vast territory of thousands of miles, the safety and security of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the future and ambition of hundreds of civil and military generals are all concentrated on him, imperceptibly transforming him. He is bound to make the right choice! Shao Xu is full of confidence in this.

After a while, Lu Yao said in a low voice: "I don't want to meet with Liu Shiren, find a way to hold him back before Ding Wenhao and I reach Guangzong." ”

Shao Xu bowed his head: "Yes." ”

Lu Yao knows very well what kind of person he is. Although in his previous life, he was just a small clerk buried in the file; But after crossing over, Lu Yao immediately transformed into a pure warrior. He dares to kill on the battlefield and instinctively loaths the intrigues outside the battlefield. He is not afraid of fighting to the death with the enemy, accustomed to the dangerous feeling of wandering on the edge of life and death, but rejects those chaotic environments where kindness and malice are intertwined, and hates those shameless villains with honey-bellied swords. From the military lord to the partial general, to the general who leads the army independently, to the senior officer who is in charge of the military and political power of one side, every road Lu Yao has traveled and every victory he has won have come from dignified battles. It's just that...... The situation in Hebei is such that it can be resolved by non-military means. If you blindly rely on force and not the rest, will you sit back and watch Liu Shiren pocket the two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan?

Well, there are some things that do have to be done, but they don't have to be done by themselves. However, since some people want to force themselves, then go and work hard.

Lu Yao walked towards the Shulin Walker, took a few steps, and said, "Shao Gong, I will ask Hu Liuniang and Zhu Sheng to assist you, and be sure to monitor every move of the Jinyang Army." In addition, Liu Shiren's identity is very high, so we don't want to hurt him in the slightest when we act. ”

"General, please rest assured, although Liu Yan is famous, he is just a child of anointing Liang, and it is easy to make." Shao Xu responded.

He followed Lu Yao closely, and the two of them walked out of the sparse forest one after the other.

The deep forest gradually couldn't block the sight, and He Yun, who was waiting near the avenue, saw the figures of the two, so he shouted and came over from the horse.

"General......" Shao Xu suddenly called.

Lu Yao stopped: "What does Shao Gong have to say?" ”

"I heard that the general once said his ambition to Chen Dazhai, the master of Hu Dazhai, but unfortunately Shao was not able to be present at that time to pay respects." Shao Xu bypassed a piece of dry thorns, stood in front of Lu Yao, and bowed calmly: "Now that the Jin family is in decline, traitors steal their lives, and the phenomenon of troubled times is already obvious. Although Shao Xu is not talented, he thinks that he can assist the Ming Lord to clear the situation, so he is willing to listen to the will of the general, so as to determine the means of acting accordingly. ”

This gentleman is really a smart person, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly. According to what Lu Yao heard in his previous life, the so-called ambition is a concentrated reflection of the worldview, outlook on life, and methodology. According to the different aspirations he stated, Shao Xu must have proposed a variety of different strategies to deal with the situation in Hebei.

Maybe it was because he had finally made a decision, and Lu Yao felt very relaxed. He thought, how should he make a statement to Shao Xu? Just like what Hu Liuniang said, show Huan and Wen Zhizhi? When the Zhou family was in decline, Huan Wen was just a generation of hegemony...... Facing Shao Xu's eager expression, Lu Yao suddenly thought a little maliciously that if he shouted: "I want this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore; If you want this land, you can't bury my heart anymore; I want all living beings to understand my intentions; I want all the Buddhas to disappear! "This remark may make Shao Xu shocked? Or to say: "I hope that the people of the Jin Kingdom will become unruly people"? In that case, anyone would think they don't know what to do, right?

Lu Yao laughed softly, he took Shao Xu's arm and walked forward, and said slowly: "What I said to Hu Liuniang is just a moment of excitement, and I can't do it." I'm not afraid of Shao Gong's jokes, in fact, where do I have any ambitions? When I was young, I thought that I was not a well-known person in the cave, and I was afraid that the people of the sea would see me as a fool, and I wanted to guard a county, so that I could be a politician and a religion, so that I could establish a reputation and make the world know about it. After joining the army, he wanted to make meritorious contributions to the country, and hoped that the Marquis would be the general of the expedition to the west, and then the tomb was inscribed with the words 'The tomb of the general Lu Hou of the late Jin Dynasty and the expedition to the west', this is also my ambition. ”

"The general is in the northern frontier, how can he be the general of the expedition to the west? Could it be ......" Shao Xu replied half-jokingly, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He has read the scriptures and history since he was a child, and he is familiar with the allusions of modern times, and he instantly understands who Lu Yao's words come from, and he knows even more about what achievements this person has made in the future!

"General...... Is this true? He asked in a trembling voice. He climbed Lu Yao's arm with his backhand, and the strength was so great that Lu Yao almost felt pain.

Lu Yao took the reins from He Yun's hand and said neatly: "Naturally, take it seriously!" ”
