Wang Jun is dead! In Lu Yao's memory, this powerful Fang Zhen originally had several years to live, and he relied on the Youzhou Zhuhu cavalry to actively expand in the coming chaos, and even had the ambition to covet artifacts for a time.

But now, this hussar general, Youzhou Assassin Shi, and Boling County Duke died like this, and the cause of death even seemed a little funny. Although all this was in Lu Yao's plan, he still felt some slight heart palpitations.

Once Wang Jun is gone, Youzhou has no owner and Qunhu will inevitably be in turmoil. Whoever can stabilize and control Youzhou will then have a huge strength that is enough to shock northern Xinjiang and Hebei. This person...... Who else is me? A year ago, when I woke up leisurely in the grass shed in the deep mountains of Taihang, the goal of my struggle was just to survive. And at this moment, he has actually tried to seize the position and power that is enough to overturn thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Lu Yao inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply. He tried his best to show just the right amount of surprise: "What? Who are you talking about? What happened?

The knight grabbed the bridle of Lu Yao's mount: "It is the assassin of Youzhou that Wang Jun is dead!" General Lu, General Zhengbei is waiting, please come with me quickly, someone will explain it to you in detail. ”

"But ......" Lu Yao pointed in front of him and said casually: "The displaced people in Jizhou are gathered here, if they are not properly handled, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

The knight's face showed a slightly impatient look: "General Zhengbei recruits, how can you have time to pay attention to these trivial matters?" If they make any changes, they will be sent to deal with them! It's important to get down to business, so General Lu should come with me first. ”

Such a natural remark made Lu Yao stunned again, and then sighed.

He came to Wei County this time, and deliberately defected to Yang Heng, who was a senior staff member of the general of Zhengbei, for today's summons. But for some reason, at this important moment, he couldn't help but think about something else.

For those homeless people, the disposition that Lu Yao said and the disposition that this knight said naturally mean two different things. Wang Pengzu's violent death is indeed a major event, the result of his own preparation for many days, and it is also the beginning of his own path to a huge position of power, but should these homeless people in front of him be ignored and wantonly "disposed of"?

In the past year, Lu Yao has been in the army, and the people who come and go are all rude military men, and he has handled all the affairs of the horses, and rarely interacts with real big family figures, let alone truly experience the normal state of court officials treating the low-level soldiers and civilians as ants. Therefore, not long ago, when he heard that Ding Shao pushed all the old and weak in the Jizhou army to the front line as a bait to lure Shi Le to attack, he felt very unbearable.

The situation in front of him is the same, the Taishan Goat clan is just a third-rate family, and the knight in front of him is only the leader of Yang Heng's team, and his status is compared to ordinary people, but seeing thousands of homeless people waiting to be fed, he has no compassion at all. On the contrary, he has been in the army for many years, and his subordinates don't know how many lives they have taken, but the harder the heart of fighting on the battlefield, the softer they are in the face of those soldiers and civilians. Alas, looking at the knight's demeanor, perhaps in his eyes, when he was faced with the invitation of General Zhengbei, Shang Shufu and Yu Xiang, he was still worried about the ant people of his generation, which was a strange move, right?

Lu Yao thought about it again, at this time, there is really no way to criticize the hearts of the world, but he must be different. If you want to turn things around and achieve great things, it is never those big people who are really worth relying on...... Only the people are the driving force behind the creation of history, and Lu Yao is convinced of this.

He turned to the side and said deeply to the young man who had just talked to him: "These are poor people who are forced by the current situation, and I bother my brother to take care of them a little, and don't let people bully them at will. I have an urgent matter and need to go to Yecheng. ”

The young man responded: "Brother Zun, rest assured, Cai Mo will take them all in mind." ”

Lu Yao saluted again and rode away.

Yue Mo Duqian, galloping for more than 20 miles, the two horsemen passed through the Guangyang Gate in the southwest corner of Yecheng, and arrived at the mansion of the general of Zhengbei.

Foreign officials are not allowed to enter and leave the important places where the court dignitaries are stationed. Therefore, Cao Peng, the east of the General's Mansion, personally came forward and politely led Lu Yao to wait in a side hall for a while, and sent someone to serve tea and soup.

The strange thing is that it seems that the officials in the mansion all know that General Yingyang is here, and when Lu Yao is drinking tea and resting, some officials are looking here in the side hall opposite, and there is a slight voice from Suo Suo: "Look, that person is Lu Daoming, the Taishou of the county!" ”

The tea was slightly touched to his lips, and he was engaged in the Zhengbei General's Mansion and invited Lu Yaoyan in. The buildings built on the site of the old Baizang Library are far less luxurious and extravagant than the old residence of King Xincai, and the scale is much smaller. These are the places where secrets are disposed of, usually the door is closed, and at this moment it is open nine times out of ten, and there are people holding official documents, making it appear that they have come out of the hall in a hurry, and they are full of curiosity to face to face themselves, and they actually stop and look up and down.

Such strange battles really made Lu Yao inexplicable: after the battle in Yecheng, he went north to the Daidi, although he also ran rampant on the plug, and made quite meritorious achievements, after all, he had nothing to do with these Taiping officials of Wei County, why did he attract so much attention from his generation?

He couldn't stand the engagement of leading the way for Lu Yao, he smiled at Lu Yao, and said apologetically: "General Lu has been famous recently, and even Pei Langjun has heard of the general's name, so everyone ...... Ahem...... I was curious......

Since Lu Yao came to Wei County, he had already done enough research in advance, and knew that the county lord of Jingling, who was accustomed to acting in the name of the Pei clan of Hedong, was still staying in the local area. Obviously, although this noble daughter under the knee of the king of the East China Sea is not high-profile, this special identity can't be hidden from others after all, at least the people in the shogunate of the general Zhengbei know it in their hearts, and they don't have too many scruples in their words. Listening to this, it seems that she still remembers the friendship of the past side by side, which is also good news.

Lu Yao was about to raise his hand to thank him for a few words, but he heard Na Zhi continue: "An hour ago, Bing Cao engaged in Zhou Liang to make a reckless discussion, saying that the death of Wang Pengzu was inseparable from General Lu, so he angered Pei Langjun, and he was dragged out and beaten half to death on the spot. Therefore, all the officials came out one after another, also to recognize the general's face, so as not to inadvertently offend in the future and end up in the same fate. ”

It is not something to boast about when a colleague is beaten for a trivial matter. The person who deliberately said it may have been instructed by a noble person to be tempted.

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Yao's expression did not move, and his mouth was still talking as usual.

The three counties of Daijun, Shanggu and Guangning under the command of Lu Yao were originally under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. It's just that Hu Er has been in control for many years, and Wang Pengzu is in Hebei, so he has no time to pay attention to it. Lu Yao fought out horizontally, and won a big profit in vain, and the two families have been in conflict since then. Not to mention that since then, the two sides have fought a big war for the interests of seizing the grassland in the dam.

Everyone in the world knows that Daijun and Youzhou are opposites, and Daijun will want to plot against Youzhou, so he can't leave the slightest handle. The plan made by Shao Xu can be called secretive, and he is even more cautious. The Youzhou army acted across the border, and the conflict between the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Jizhou Thorn History and the Bingzhou Thorn History, no matter how it looked, it was Wang Pengzu's own bridge that was too arrogant, and it had nothing to do with the Dai County.

Zhou Liang is the henchman of Sima Teng, the king of Xincai, and he is used to chasing after the wind; When I was in the annexation of the state, I don't know how many people were framed with this hand. It's a pity that he doesn't understand, Lu Yao is not worried that Zhou Liang's nonsense will hinder him at all, and the experience from later generations makes Lu Yao know better than anyone the weakness of the Great Jin Dynasty.

General Yingyang, who has a strong handkerchief, is already a powerful man that the court or the king of the East China Sea must pay attention to, and he is here just to pick the fruit hanging from the tree. In this process, Lu Yao does not have to be afraid of anyone, and he will never be intimidated by anyone!

Under the watchful eyes of many people, either overt or covertly, Lu Yao calmly walked forward until he came to the back hall of the Zhengbei General's Mansion.

Different from the bustle along the way, the back hall is very quiet, except for the servants who shuttle and serve, only two people stand on top and three people accompany them. One of the people in the upper seat, dressed in a goose-yellow robe, with a jade belt around his waist, was extremely graceful and luxurious, and he was the county lord of Jingling.

Lu Yao climbed the steps and saluted the two of them: "Lu Yao, Wu County, has seen Zhong Yugong and Pei Langjun. ”

"I have long heard Pei Langjun talk about General Yingyang's name, and when I see it today, he is really young and handsome!" The obese He Yu smiled, returned the half-salute, and asked Lu Yao to sit in the first seat on the left.

This seat was obviously set aside deliberately, and under Lu Yao, it was Wei County Taishou Wang Cui, and the two senior staff members of the Zhengbei general, Shi Yangheng, the left chief, and Shi Huangdu, the right chief, sat opposite each other.

Except for the county lord and Yang Heng, everyone present and Lu Yao were all at the first meeting, politely answering each other, saying some gossip, and then half a day passed. What I didn't expect was that He Yu was actually very talkative, and he didn't have any arrogance, and he asked Lu Yao several times about his military and political measures in northern Xinjiang, and praised him.

Maybe it was out of reserve, or maybe it was to avoid suspicion, the county lord didn't say much, and he didn't even talk to Lu Yao directly, but he occasionally looked at Lu Yao between his eyes.

Compared with the somewhat impulsive down-and-out military master in his memory, Lu Yao's appearance doesn't seem to have changed, and it seems to have changed a lot. On his thin face, the scar was no longer obvious, and his eyes were much deeper. The thick beard was tied at the back of the head with a wooden hairpin, perhaps to show the majesty of the general, and the dense stubble of the sideburns was not removed, almost connected to the short hair of the upper lip and lower jaw.

Lu Yao knelt on the mat, his back straight, his body was as strong as loose, and his etiquette was meticulous. The wide white robe concealed his strong muscles and physique, so he vaguely revealed some polite and gentle bearing. When he occasionally raised his hand, he could see a new hideous wound on the back of his hand, extending to the sleeve of his robe, which seemed to remind everyone that he was a strong soldier who calmly retreated in the sword mountain and the sea of swords, a general who was in charge of thousands of troops and horses and fought a bloody battle with the barbarians of the grassland, and a strong man who stood on the throne with his great military exploits!

Even though He Yu and the others often shifted the topic to Daijun, most of the time, Lu Yao just smiled and listened, as if he was too lazy to take advantage of his tongue. But the county lord couldn't help but look at him a few more times for some reason. She clearly felt that whether she was a military master or a general of the military and political affairs of the main side, Lu Yao's strong self-confidence was as good as ever; Compared with the young nobles of Luoyang that he was familiar with, they were just exquisite and gorgeous furnishings, which were pleasing to the eye, but they were not half of the use of the people in front of them.
