Chapter 137: Finality (End)
"Brother Longcheng, please!"
"Brother Daoming, please!"
Lu Yao and Murong Longcheng smiled at each other and walked forward, like long-lost acquaintances from another country.
The camp, named "Fort Warriors", was built for a purely military purpose, so it was built without any visual or ceremonial considerations. The distance between the 'gate' and the Chinese army is not long, but the road is divided into several sections by the newly built stone wall, and there are always a few bends along the way. After a few steps, the queue gradually lengthened.
Lu Yao and Murong Longcheng, as representatives of both the host and the guest, naturally walked in the forefront. The two of them walked a little faster, and when they were about halfway through, they stopped and waited for the rest of the people. They were followed by Wen Qiao and Shao Xu. Wen Qiao's position is still higher than that of Lu Yao, and he is the official envoy appointed by the Yueshi Gong, so it is said that he should be treated more solemnly. But he has always been introverted, especially in the barracks, and will never dominate the crowd, so he walks in the second row. Shao Xu is Lu Yao's staff, and as a celebrity in Wei County, he happens to accompany him.
Behind these two people are generals such as Ding Miao, Xue Tong, and Liu Yao. Ding Miao was patting Xue Tong's back violently, laughing and saying something. Lu Yao hurriedly turned around and continued to move forward, Ding Miao must be praising Xue Tong's brave behavior, with Ding's unscrupulous 'sex' personality, maybe any words would make Murong Longcheng furious, or take him farther away.
In this way, Lu Yao no longer looked at the queue in the future. In fact, even if he didn't look at it, how the queue would be formed, he still knew in his heart.
It has been less than a month since I set off from Yecheng. In this short period of time, the power that Lu Yao can control has been unimaginably expanded. At the same time, subordinates from different sources vaguely formed different factions.
The old beggar army members who were also from Bingzhou were very close to Lu Yao, Xue Tong, Shen Jin and other former subordinates of the Bingzhou army, and at the same time, compared with a large number of thieves and Hu'er's companions, they were quite self-conscious about their innocent background. The Jisang descendants, who fought in the north and south of the river for many years but finally failed, were incompatible with the beggar soldiers. There are also the largest number of Hu warriors, their original ethnic groups and blood ties are inextricably linked, although Lu Yao intends to cut off the connection between the soldiers and the tribe, but it is not a day's work...... Hu'er will always be closer to each other.
The division of people into factions is only a faΓ§ade, and it is inevitable that they will have their own thoughts. The old troops of the beggar army are looking forward to returning to Bingzhou one day and getting a better future. As long as the people are rewarded with money, who to fight for is not a fight; But their leaders, such as Liu Fei and Chen Pei, who were once the generals under the Chengdu king's account, were quite scheming. The Hu'er are relatively simple-minded, but those tribal commanders are undoubtedly a greedy and extremely unreliable group. The killings of the past few months can deter them for a while, but they are not enough to guarantee long-term loyalty.
In comparison, Lu Yao's subordinates when he was in the state were much simpler. They just want to live, kill the Hu people, kill more Hu people, and avenge their loved ones. And right now, these people ...... It's very different.
Leading such a group of subordinates, facing the malevolent Northland tycoons outside the Daijun is like wielding a crisp and cracked wooden stick to contend with a fierce beast. It must be known that the Duan Department was powerful in Youzhou, and its leader had a friendship with Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, who had recently been crowned as a hussar general by the imperial court and the military governor of Hebei Dongyi. Since Lu Yao has seized Daijun, he has already 'been' evil with Duanbu, so if Wang Jun and Wang Pengzu have a follow-up move, who can deserve it? After the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony, Tuoba Yilu, an important ally of Liu Kun in the state assassin history, is still in danger, and it is still unknown whether Tuoba Xianbei will still be loyal to the imperial court, is Liu Kun really willing to fight with Wang Jun for the sake of the county? What's more, at that time, what reason does Lu Yao, who is a general of the Bingzhou Army, not go to the Youzhou Territory? The power of the seven thousand horsemen of Daijun may seem to be impressive, but people of insight can actually understand that Lu Yao is like sitting on an iceberg that may melt at any time to show off his might.
Lu Yao looked at Murong Longcheng beside him.
As he walked, the leader of the Changshan Army observed the buildings in the camp and the soldiers who came and went, and seemed to be very interested.
Lu Yao knew very well that the dilemma he faced could not be concealed from Murong Longcheng. The difficulty is not the rise, but how to face a more complex environment after the rise and how to maintain the hearts of the tribes. Perhaps Murong Longcheng was in the mood of watching a good show, speculating about how he would take the next step when he suddenly seized Daijun. It can even be inferred that Murong Longcheng's final choice to support himself during the battle on the waterside of Qiyi is also related to this. Obviously, Lu Yao, who couldn't stay in Daijun for a long time and couldn't control the thoughts of his subordinates, was much easier to deal with than the old fox of Tuoba Luguan.
Fortunately, Lu Yao had already prepared for this. Today, at this very moment, he has full confidence that he will take control of the situation completely.
With the direction of walking, the terrain of the camp gradually raised, and the highest point was where the Chinese army was located. There, you can easily look beyond the inner and outer walls and look out at the grasslands in the distance. On the high ground, there is a majestic locust tree that has not been cut down, and the canopy of the umbrella covers a large area of greenery.
Due to the creation of the big camp grass, all kinds of furnishings and things are very simple, so Lu Yaosuo 'sex' set up today's venue in the 'dew' day, which also avoids a lot of red tape in the Central Plains region to invite guests to the meeting. On the whole, although it does not conform to the ancient rites and is difficult to show the grand atmosphere, it is in line with Hu'er's heroic 'character'.
At this time, the servants and others who had been arranged diligently guided everyone to their seats. The east and west wings of the seats are lined up, and the generals of the Gong Jin Army and the Hu clan sit opposite each other, all of them are painted with black lacquer. The position is in the middle, there are four seats, with a few vermilion lacquer cases, and a splendid screen is set up behind it, which is used to set off the noble status of the people in the seat.
Everyone thought that these four seats were Murong Longcheng, Lu Yao, Wen Qiao, and Ding Miao. After all, the former was a guest, and the latter three were all 2,000-stone officials, and they were the highest-ranking among the people present. Who knew that Ding Miao took the initiative to sit at the top of the general school and gave up a seat in the central government.
Murong Longcheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Qiao, but saw that Wen Qiao also looked inexplicable. But looking at Lu Yao's expression, it was full of reason, and it didn't seem to be an improper arrangement: "General Lu? Are there any other dignitaries here today? β
"Exactly!" Lu Yao smiled. He strode into the crowd, grabbed one by the arm, and invited him out. This person is dressed in a strong suit, covered with a silk uniform, although he is dressed as an official, but he is quite resolute and martial artistic. Lu Yao said loudly: "Brother Longcheng, it is rare for the heroes of the county to gather today, and let me introduce General Wang Dewang to you for you." This general Wang is the subordinated governor of His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea. In the past, when I was in Bingzhou, I fought side by side with Lao Xue and me, and I was also Lu's benefactor. β
"Brother Wang! It turned out to be you? Before Lu Yao's words fell, Xue Tong shouted in surprise. Isn't this big man who was invited to the throne by Lu Yao the leader of the right-hand man of the county lord of Jingling, the 'daughter' of the king of the East China Sea, the Wang De who once stood side by side with them on Taihang Mountain to defend against the enemy?
After the defeat of the imperial army in Bingzhou Daling last year, Lu Yao, Xue Tong and others who fled to Taihang Mountain happened to meet the county lord of Jingling who was also in a dilemma in Taihang Mountain. At that time, Lu Yao fell into a coma and was almost killed by a thief, but Wang De saved his 'life'. After that, the group worked hand in hand, met Hu Liuniang of Funiu Village along the way, and found out the internal guard election of the Huns, and defeated Xiang Fei, a thief who tried to kidnap the county lord. Although it was only a few days, there were many ups and downs, so Xue Tong had a deep impression of Wang De.
Xue Tong and Wang De met in the old days, so they naturally had to talk. It's just that the occasion is uncomfortable at the moment, and the two slapped each other's arms a few times and dispersed. Wang De came urgently, and even Lu Yao's subordinates didn't know that such an envoy was coming to Daijun. At this time, Lu Yao pulled Wang De and introduced everyone present who was qualified to sit for him one by one.
After a circle of entertainment, everyone sat down, Lu Yao said in a deep voice: "This time, General Wang came from Yecheng day and night, and read to me the edict of His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea at one hour......" Saying, he arched his hand to Wang De and signaled: "General Wang has come from afar to work hard, and Lu Mou has picked up the wind with water and wine, chatting and paying respect." β
What kind of character is Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea? That is the leader of the Fangzhen Alliance of the Six Prefectures of Ji and Youqing Yanxu, the prince of the clan who oversees the Luoyang Dynasty and the system of worship, and is the hero of the world who won in the extremely tragic Central Plains 'chaos' situation, and can cause the world to shake in the palm of his hand! Compared with the status of everyone here at this moment, it is like a firefly to the bright moon. Although this Wang De is not an official governor, just by virtue of his identity as a representative of the king of the East China Sea, it is enough to make people awe-inspired.
Hearing Lu Yao's words, everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and drank together, even Murong Longcheng...... He grinned, but he was no exception. As soon as a glass of wine entered the throat, the people who reacted quickly were already speculating: The king of the East China Sea has an edict to Lu Yao? What will it be?
But he heard Lu Yao solemnly continue: "General Wang, is it okay for Your Excellency Lao to read out the edict in public?" β
"Good!" Wang De responded in a deep voice, and took the finely wrapped document from Lu Yao's hand:
"The order said: Merge with the state Maocai Lu Yao, the instrument is chaste and judged, the meritorious deeds are completed, and the doves gather righteous disciples, rugged and dangerous. The battle of Daijun is a matter of opportunity, standing alone, and being majestic and horizontal. Jin Sheng vibrates outside the territory, and the 'fine' light shines in Qianghu. It should be the act of being close to the virtuous, and it is advisable to divide the weight of Shaanxi, and can be appointed as General Yingyang, the Taishou of the Daijun, and the military of the three counties of Daidai, Guangning, and Shanggu. His position as the general of Pingbei is the same as before. β
Wang De's voice is rich and full of energy. And the content of the edict he read out surprised everyone even more.
General Eagle Young!
Daijun Taishou!
The military of the three counties of Jiandai, Quang Ninh and Shanggu!
Lu Yao's attack to replace the county was a rare deed in the Great Jin Dynasty in recent decades to recover the territory from Hu Er, so many subordinates thought that this move might be rewarded by the Duke of Yueshi. Some people also believe that this move was originally an expedient measure to deal with the Tuoba Xianbei sacrifice ceremony, and the effect depends on the result of the competition between the two powerhouses of the Tuoba clan.
No one expected that the Yue Shi Gong of Jinyang had not yet had any reaction, and the imperial court had already given such a generous reward...... Of course, the edict of the king of the East China Sea is not a holy decree, but this prince has the right to inherit the system and worship, and in recent years, most of the pastoral guards in various places have come out of the 'door', and his decree is not much different from the edict of the imperial court, and at most it needs to be supplemented with a procedure.
With this appointment, Lu Yao went from being a local military general under the jurisdiction of the state to a member of the imperial court who was also a civil and military officer. From a certain point of view, it can even be compared with Wang Jun of Youzhou and Liu Kun of Jinyang.
This appointment enabled Lu Yao to justifiably take charge of the military and political power of the acting county, whether it was Duanbu or Tuoba Xianbei, unless he was determined to kill the official and rebel, there was no possibility of confronting him. At the same time, Lu Yao can also 'intervene' in the adjacent two counties of Guangning and Shanggu, and his sphere of influence is thousands of miles from east to west, becoming an out-and-out power in northern Xinjiang!
Wang De closed the paperwork with a slug and handed it back to Lu Yao with both hands.
At the same time, the sound of many people gasping for cold air almost converged into the wind, whirring across the high slopes.
After an instant, I don't know who started it, dozens of people got up together, and some people moved so violently that they kicked down the desk in front of them. These generals and tribal commanders with different backgrounds glanced at each other, and then bowed down and shouted: "Congratulations to General Lu!" General Hoshilu! β
******
In fact, Sima Yue would never have made Lu Yao the general of Yingyang, because this position was the plus number of Sima Yue's dead father, Sima Tai, the king of Gaomi, when he became the assassin of Yanzhou...... But the crab really likes the position of General Eagle Yang, it sounds very bullish, what do you readers think?
It looks like it will be on the shelves tomorrow, and the end of the second volume will be VIP...... Kindly subscribe to support......
