Hearing that Yue Shigong had such thoughts, Lu Yao couldn't help but feel great sympathy for his colleagues who were going to serve as envoys to Yecheng. He has been in Bingzhou for many years, and when he was the military lord in the past, he had a lot of dealings with that Dongying Duke. To say that the understanding of his personality is really no less than Liu Kun. With Sima Teng's harsh character, where is it easy to speak? What's more, Liu Kun is clearly sending people to beg. Those who undertake this task not only need to be looked at and discern their tongues, but they must also be extremely thick-skinned, and it is difficult to speak so much.

Just thinking about it, I heard Liu Kun continue: "This appointment is not rotten Confucian, well, I intend to make you responsible, and Ding Miao is the deputy." ”

"What...... What the? Lu Yao was dumbfounded for a while, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. To paraphrase a phrase often said by modern people, it is like 10,000 grass and mud horses trampling through my mind.

After a long time, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and argued vigorously: "Lord, this matter of breaking the bottle is not for our warriors. What's more, he was born in the lower ranks, and his words and deeds are vulgar and unliterate, and he is afraid that he will be laughed at by King Xincai. The main shogunate is in the state of Yinghua clustering, celebrities and celebrities, why not send one person as an envoy. Yao Bucai, willing to do his best to take on the responsibility of guarding......"

"It doesn't matter." Liu Kun made a decisive gesture of slashing with his palm, obviously determined: "The smoke is everywhere in Bingzhou, it should be a martial artist, not to mention that you are going, it is enough to speak clearly and understandably, and you don't need to participate in the discussion of metaphysics." Since you were born in the Bingzhou Army, you must have some old habits in Yecheng, and you are just acting. As for the Wenwu Shu Path, it is easier to do. Tomorrow, I will order you to have a line of writing, just say that you are a talent recommended by the state last year, and then make up for the position of Pingbei Sima. ”

When these words came out, Lu Yao was almost startled. Yue Shigong clearly hit a stick first, and then gave the dates. If Lu Yao was not a traverser, he would definitely feel that this date was really sweet and lovely, with an irresistible attraction.

You must know that since the implementation of the Nine-Rank Official Law in the former Wei Dynasty, the gate valve clan has long held the right to select officials, and gradually formed a situation of "the upper grade has no cold family, and the lower grade has no clan". The children of the Gaomen clan are often weak, so they are directly selected from the Quan by the officials, without going through inspection. The main way for the children of local townsmen, famous clans and the old Wu and Shu clans to enter the government was concentrated in the conquest and inspection of the prefectures and counties that followed the two Han Dynasty.

Taking the Jiangdong Lu clan from Lu Yao as an example, Shiheng Gong started as Taifu Yang Jun sacrificial wine, and Shilong Gong started as Zhou Jun, the assassin Shi Shi. Erlu, known as "Taikang Zhiying", is famous all over the world, and the first step into the career is just that. And the act of "showing talents" is even more incredible. According to the system of this dynasty, the assassin is a talented person, too guarded and filial piety, and at the age of one year, there are only one or two people in the big state of millions of people every year. In Lu Yao's memory in this life, only a few people in the south have to show off their talents, such as Ji Zhan and Gan Zhuo.

Bingzhou has been in turmoil for several years, and Sima Teng, who served as the assassin of Bingzhou, had no intention of doing this, so he did not recommend people to the imperial court last year. Liu Kun's intention to make Lu Yaobu last year's talent was to make him head the army as a soldier, which was very different from his original military background.

In addition, Yue Shigong is the general of Pingbei and has the right to remove the assistant officials on his own. Pingbei Sima is the abbreviation of Pingbei General's Mansion Sima, is an important subordinate official in charge of military and political affairs in the shogunate, and the general's mansion chief Shi and Zhonglang are the core subordinates of the rank of 2,000 stones, and its status is very important.

If Lu Yao has to show off his talents, he will remove Sima ......, the general of Pingbei. It was clearly the Cotai Avenue that paved the way for decades to come. From now on, even if there is no meritorious service, but with the change of rank, there will be a chance to serve as a minister. This is more than ten times stronger than the military position of a mere general?

Lu Yao was finally not stunned by this gift package that fell from the sky. The memories of the traverser clearly tell him that in the coming turmoil, having soldiers in his hands is the most important thing. In any case, he was reluctant to relax his grip on the army. If this leads to the transition to civilian work, it will be a big problem. So he hesitated for a moment, and then saluted: "The lord will want to do this, and the only way to do it is to obey his fate." It's just that I've been in the army for many years, and I'm used to the career of a horse......"

Liu Kun was stunned, and waved his hand indifferently: "Handle this matter first, come back and continue to lead your soldiers." ”

Lu Yao sighed secretly relaxed, and then thought of something again: "Other...... Can the candidate for deputy envoy be renegotiated? In the end, the general will be negligent in words, and the deputy envoy may be a well-educated person. Ding Wenhao is generous and strong, and he is the crown of Jinyang, but he may not be his strength as an envoy. What's more, Brother Wen Hao's official character is not under me, and I don't dare to regard Brother Wen Hao as a second. ”

Liu Kun stroked his beard and snorted coldly: "Ding Miao's self-reliance on bravery, rash and impatient with soldiers, and buried most of his subordinates after three or five battles, which is not the general's doing." Having him serve as your deputy this time is a warning to him. Along the way, you should beat him well, sharpen his character, and have no scruples. ”

He paced a few steps, and then said, "Ding Miao is my old friend from my father Ding Shao. This duke is a famous man of the country, promoted by Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and the new assassin of Jizhou. Therefore, I sent Ding Miao as a deputy envoy, which can be of great use in times of emergency. ”

I see, Lu Yao bowed slightly. Shicai was too nervous, and now that he thinks about it, he and Ding Miao are now the first-class generals under the command of Yue Shigong, and there are almost no third people who can compare with each other in terms of courage and good fighting. Unless Yue Shigong is crazy, he will not transfer both of them to be civil officials.

But...... Lu Yao's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The lord is so loving, Yao is very grateful. It's just that...... Lu Yao dared to ask, Ding Miao and I went out together, could it be that what the lord asked for was just to ask King Xin Cai for some scraps? ”

Liu Kun showed a look of approval: "This time I ordered the two of you to go to Yecheng, in addition to communicating with King Xincai, there is another important matter, and those who are not wise and brave cannot be ......."

He pondered for a moment and then said: "When Daoming first joined our army, he once tried his best to oppose public opinion, advocating a foothold in Jinyang and pacifying the Hu on three sides to fight against the Xiongnu. Do you remember those words? ”

Lu Yao naturally remembered. At that time, he had only been under Liu Kun's command for a few days, but he was able to speak at the military meeting where the generals gathered. After a little recollection, he said: "Jinyang is full of Hu on all sides...... However, the beard on three sides can be caressed and raised. If the lord is based in Jinyang, the construction is slowly restored, and at the same time, the Hu on three sides is invoked to fight against the Xiongnu in the south, and the state can be determined. ”

"Not bad!" Liu Kun slapped his hands and looked at Lu Yao with blazing eyes: "This time, please ask Daoming to do this for me!" ”

Lu Yao's expression perked up, and he approached Shi Li and said, "What is the matter of soothing, please make it public." ”

"Daoming, do you know the custom of Tuoba Xianbei's sacrifice to the sky?"

Lu Yao has been in Bingzhou for many years, although he mainly faces the Xiongnu, but he also knows a thing or two about the important customs of Tuoba Xianbei. He replied: "Tuoba Xianbei originated from Donghu, and lived in the north of the secluded capital before the Qin and Han dynasties. His clan has always had the custom of worshipping the heavens, and it is said that a large-scale stone chamber was dug on the top of the Great Xianbei Mountain to communicate with the gods of the upper realm. After that, Tuoba Xianbei gradually moved south to the grassland, and the custom of worshipping the heavens was still retained, and gradually transformed into a powerful means of internal integration of his tribe. In the fourth year of Cao Wei Ganlu, the great chieftain Tuoba was weak in Dingxiang Shengle to sacrifice to the sky, and all the monarchs and chiefs came to help the sacrifice. Only Lord Baibu did not come, so he tried to conquer Baibu and kill all of them. All ministries near and far were shocked by it. ”

The evolution of this custom of sacrificing to heaven is actually the process of Tuoba Xianbei gradually moving from a primitive form of tribal alliance to secularization and feudalization. In this process, the manifestation of the ritual of worshipping the heavens is still there, but its essence has gradually been transformed into a political tool to unify all ethnic groups. Tuoba Liwei used the right of sacrifice as a means to initially unite the loose tribes into a single regime, and established the system of hereditary chieftains.

"That's a good point!" Liu Kun stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Tuoba Xianbei's heavenly sacrifice ceremony is usually arranged in the summer, or every three years, or every five years. After the death of Yu Yiyi last year, the contradictions between Tuoba Lu and Tuoba Lu became increasingly intensified, and conflicts broke out many times in subordinate tribes. To this end, the Tuoba Lu official sent a letter to Yilu, planning to hold the Tuoba Xianbei tribe sacrifice meeting in Danhan Mountain north of Dai County in July this year. ”

Liu Kun continued: "Luguan is strong and ambitious, and has been planning to unify and expand all departments for decades. But Yilu is not a mediocre person, and he has his own heritage. What's more, Yilu led his troops south to help me fight against the Xiongnu, and invisibly stood with the imperial court, which forced Lu officials not to choose war easily. In this case, the festival has become the best opportunity. Only by suppressing Yilu on the top of the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, can the Lu officials unify the entire Tuoba Xianbei without blood. ”

Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "For me Jinyang, I need the friendly Tuoba Xianbei as an ally. The attitude of the Lu officials towards the imperial court is not clear, but Yi Lu personally led the army to fight against the Xiongnu, so in this regard, Yi Lu is better than Lu Guan. At the same time, the imperial court did not want the too powerful Xianbei tribe to rise on the grassland...... If Lu Guan is allowed to get what he wants, and Tuoba Xianbei's 400,000 people are in his hands, will he become another Liu Yuan? ”

Liu Kun looked at Lu Yao approvingly: "It is imperative for the official Lu to win the position of Xianbei Dadanyu, and there must be many arrangements in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. Yilu's power is inferior, and he wants to deal with the difficulties. For this reason, on the one hand, I will send envoys to Danhan Mountain to observe the ceremony, and if necessary, control the situation with the majesty of the imperial court. And on the other hand...... Lu Yao, you will go to Yecheng to deal with it first; Later, he went to Xindu to meet Jizhou Assassin Shi Ding Shao, and used Jizhou's troops to suppress Daijun...... You just have to let go of the specific matters, no matter what, you will not be allowed to get what you want! ”

"Don't let Lu go cheap!" Lu Yao answered with understanding.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both had a sense of understanding. What the Jinyang regime needed was a divided Tuoba Xianbei; It was a Tuoba Xianbei who was a chieftain of various tribes competing to turn to the imperial court for help; It is a Tuoba Xianbei that can be caressed and raised.

Liu Kun laughed: "Not bad! Not bad! TD's heart is with me everywhere! ”

Lu Yao solemnly saluted: "Only the lord and the stallion are the first." ”

At that moment, the two discussed carefully, and Liu Kun's voice became lower and lower. Lu Yao bowed his head from time to time, and his expression became more and more serious.

Seeing that the sunset was gradually setting in the west, and finally disappeared behind the peaks of Longshan and Mengshan Mountains, Liu Kun and Lu Yao were still discussing. The cool night breeze blew along the mountain ravine, and the sixteen horsemen in Zhongshan under the mountain looked at each other, each pulling their cloaks tight, and Wang Xiu still couldn't help but sneeze violently.
