Chapter 8: The Envoys (II)
Even if this eastward journey goes well, it will not be until at least July and August to return to Jinyang, and Lu Yao is really a little worried. He thought about it, and was about to explain something to Guo Huan and the others, when He Yun came to report: "General, Changshi is visiting." β
The long history that He Yun said is Wen Qiao of the new Pingbei general Zuo Changshi.
Since the defeat of the Xiongnu, Liu Kun's prestige among the Han high-ranking families in Taiyuan has increased greatly, and more and more families have realized that Liu Yueshi is by no means the same as the previous ruler of the state, and he is truly capable and determined to end the chaos in the state and restore stability and order. Therefore, the children of the scholar clan who were invested in the shogunate of the general of Pingbei increased day by day, such as the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Zhang clan of Qixian and other big clans, and even the Yangqu Guo clan, whose branch of Qi County was severely dealt with by Yue Shigong, also sent a number of people led by the patriarch's son-in-law to come to serve.
These people were led by famous people such as Sui and Li Hong, members of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and Cui Yue, Liu Kun's nephew, and almost all of them were famous literati at that time. This made Liu Kun's shogunate very abundant. Wen Qiao and Xu Run, the old team that joined with Liu Kun, were originally busy with multiple positions, but now they can free up their hands to deal with practice.
For example, Xu Run was able to concurrently serve as the Jinyang Order, responsible for handling the daily administration of Jinyang, but looking at his daily actions, it seems that he is more focused on building a forest garden for Yueshi Public and collecting musical instruments. In this regard, he is really good at joining Yue Shigong, who likes extravagance and lust, so he faintly has the status of the head of civil officials. Since learning that Gao Xiang was killed by Xu Run, Lu Yao was deeply jealous of this person, but he was helpless to treat him for a while. Even the sin of introducing Long Jimeng, a traitor, was gently let go by Yue Shigong, and Lu Yao went to impeach him again to frame his colleagues, which was boring and inappropriate.
Xu Run, such a fortunate person was promoted, and Wen Qiao was a disciple of a high-ranking family in Bingzhou; is a truly powerful subordinate and has made great contributions before and after, so naturally he will not be treated lightly. He was first promoted to the rank of general of Pingbei, and then took over the position of Shangdang Taishou, directly responsible for the safety of the large county east of Jinyang, and his functions were similar to those of Long Jimeng, who had previously rebelled. Liu Kun used his aunt and nephew Wen Qiao to sit in the party, and it seemed that he was really worried about the danger of the enemy's soldiers approaching the city during the Jinyang War.
However, after several raids by the Xiongnu, Shangdang has withered and is not presentable. Such as Tunliu, Changzi, Huguan, Luxian and other places, almost ten rooms and nine empty. Wen Qiao had no choice but to be stationed in Xiangyuan County, north of Shangdang, and cooperated with Zhang Yi, a partial general of the garrison and Mumaping, to restore control over the counties in the north of Shangdang.
From Jinyang to Yecheng, going to the party is the only way. Lu Yao originally planned to visit this Yue Shigong's right-hand man on the way, but he came first.
"What is Wen Taizhen doing here?" Ding Miao said strangely.
Lu Yao shook his head: "I don't know. β
The two went out of the camp together to greet Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao's face was a little tired. There are only a few people in the entourage, and they all seem to have rushed a long way, looking like they are in the dust. Before he entered the camp, he saluted Lu Yao outside the door: "Daoming, congratulations." β
Lu Yao knew that what he said was about being lifted to show his talents, and he must have visited Yue Shigong before coming here, so he waved his hand again and again: "Thanks to the love of the lord, I was able to climb Jiwei, which is really embarrassing." β
Coincidentally, Bingzhou has fallen into war in recent years, and Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, was disturbed by the Huns, and he had no intention of investigating talents; If you go back a few years, the previous person from Bingzhou who had to show off his talent was actually Wen Qiao. Therefore, Lu Yao compares himself with mosquitoes and flies clinging to the horsetail of a thousand miles horse, which means humility.
Wen Qiao smiled and said: "Daoming is a beautiful jade, even if it is temporarily dusty, there will be a day when it will shine, and it is not limited by mere talents and Sima." β
The three of them exchanged a few words and sat down in the hall.
Wen Qiao didn't make much politeness, and said straight to the point: "Daoming, I'm from the lord's office." At the turn of spring and summer this year, Tuoba Xianbei will gather in Danhan Mountain to hold a five-year ceremony to worship the sky. The lord will appoint me as an envoy to Danhan Mountain. β
Lu Yao and Ding Miao glanced at each other: "Then ......"
Wen Qiao said in a deep voice: "I am the messenger, and Brother Daoming is also the messenger." There will be many opportunities for mutual assistance. β
Lu Yao and Ding Miao were overjoyed together: "Wonderful! β
Wen Qiao bowed his head and said: "Daoming, Wen Hao, this trip to Danhan Mountain, I deserve it; In case there is a martial event, it depends on the dance of the two of them. According to the record in "Huainanzi", "When Shun was in charge, there were Miao who refused to accept it, so Shun repaired the government and danced with his relatives." "The Ganqi Dance is a military dance that has been handed down in ancient times, and Wen Qiao quotes it here, which is the meaning of the whole army to deter the Hu people.
Lu Yao bowed his head and said: "Brother Taizhen, don't worry, Wen Hao and I should do our best." β
Wen Qiao supported the desk with both hands, bowed to Lu Yao and Ding Miao, and continued: "According to the intention of the lord. I will arrive in Daijun in mid-June via Yanmen and Feihu. Then set out from Daijun to Danhan Mountain. If all goes well, we will meet at Daishire. β
The imperial court has its own way of acting, especially when the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony is imminent, it is very likely that when it will be decided to Tuoba Xianbei as the co-master, Wen Qiao, as the envoy of the imperial court, will never openly support either side when the situation is unclear. Even if Yue Shigong and Tuoba Yilu had formed a de facto alliance, on the surface, the imperial court must be impartial. In this way, even if Yue Shigong's plan fails, and Luguan succeeds in seizing the power of Tuoba Xianbei, the Great Jin court can maintain some dignity.
Therefore, Wen Qiao would not choose the area controlled by Tuoba Yilu, but went to Danhan Mountain through Yanmen and Daijun. And if the coordination between Lu Yao and Ding Miao and the Jizhou Assassin History Department goes well, they can use the soldiers of Jizhou to deter the Daijun Hu people and give Wen Qiao strong support.
But I heard Wen Qiao continue: "Daoming, I'm busy with affairs these days, so I won't send you to the party." I have come today to recommend to you a strange man. This gentleman has a wide range of influence in the land of Hebei and the three states, and he knows all kinds of underworld green forests and Hu tribes well. With the help of others, the trip of the two Yecheng will definitely increase by a few points. β
Lu Yaoxi said: "Taizhen's recommendation must be a great talent, please come quickly." β
Wen Qiao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand behind him.
Behind Wen Qiao stood a person, covering his face with a turban and wearing a big hat. This is the standard attire when traveling long distances, and Lu Yao and the others didn't mind before.
At this moment, he could hear this person laugh coquettishly: "General Lu praised him like this, and the concubine is really deeply honored." β
This voice is like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, with a strange charm that eats away the soul of the bone. Lu Yao suddenly remembered someone, he held the table in his hand, leaned forward, and asked in disbelief: "Master Hu Dazhai?" β
The man reached out and took off his turban, revealing a sultry look of flowers and moons.
Isn't it Hu Liuniang, the owner of Funiu Village?
Hu Liuniang is Lu Yao's old acquaintance. In the winter of last year, Lu Yao escaped the pursuit of the army of Liu Cong, the king of Zuoguli, and was rescued by the county lord of Jingling and his subordinates. Then, the group boarded the barberry village to find a way to escape. Wei Xuan, the head of the guard of the county lord of Jingling, was bribed by Chen * Yuanda, a servant of Liu Han and Huangmen, in an attempt to kidnap the county lord. Lu Yao found that his appearance was suspicious in advance, so he acted a good show with Hu Liuniang, the county lord and the owner of Funiu Village, forcing the traitor to be exposed.
After that, the Huns pursued the soldiers greatly, and Hu Liuniang sent the county lord and others to the back mountain escape path. Soon after descending the mountain, a fire broke out on the Funiu Village, and it is said that the mountain thieves in the village and the reinforcements led by Li Yun, the captain of the prefecture, joined forces and fought with the Huns. After that, Lu Yao never saw this flower-like green forest hero again.
Hu Liuniang's eyes flowed, and she naturally had a style of anger and joy. She glared at Lu Yao: "Does General Lu remember the concubine?" β
Lu Yao coughed and said, "Naturally, I remember." I haven't seen him for a few months, and the demeanor of Hu Dazhai is better than in the past. β
