As a result of the efforts of Zhu Yaoshi's ministers and ministers, on the surface, an offensive and defensive alliance between Wei and Yu was reached, and Wei and Liang were mutually non-aggressive, but everyone knew that this was just a piece of paper.

On the border between Liang and Wei, even the birds are getting fewer and fewer, and the two sides are constantly increasing their troops, and it seems that they can't wait for the Ghost Country to invade again, and the Liang State and the Wei State are about to go to war.

Tuyuhun, who had not moved, actually crossed the Huangshui River and marched to Guanzhong after the Luoyang Alliance.

Pharmacist Zhu felt that this was impossible, because it was his brother-in-law Murong Ling who led the troops, and legend has it that his sister Zhu Xuehua was also in the Tuyuhun army.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, in order to win the world, father and son have killed each other, and fratricide abounds! He, Murong Ling, is just His Majesty's brother-in-law! Song Huafu said

"Your Majesty, at the moment, only by sending Marshal Wang Tiezhu to lead the troops to sit in Chang'an can we resist the enemy!"

"Marshal Wang guards Chang'an, and we will send someone to negotiate peace before it can be resolved!"

After patiently listening to everyone's suggestions, Pharmacist Zhu's head was already a little dizzy, and his body was not as good as before.

"Well, let Marshal Wang lead 50,000 troops to Chang'an to resist the enemy, who is willing to send Tuyuhun to Tuyuhun?"

"The lower officials are willing to go! Strive to turn hostility into friendship! "The last of the courtiers of the palace should speak loudly

Pharmacist Zhu's eyes widened and he saw that it was Shi Lu Jinglian, who had just been promoted from Luoyang, and couldn't help but smile

"It's understandable that you are sincere in your meritorious service, but this Murong Ling is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid that I will give you my life in vain, I can't bear it!"

"The minister only needs a letter written by His Majesty, and the letter only talks about family affection and not state affairs, and the minister will be safe and sound!"

Everyone looked at Lu Jinglian, and some regretted that they couldn't think of this idea

"I depend on you for this matter, and I give you three days to prepare for the material honor guard to send an envoy!"

"All you need is a letter, ten guards, and a scepter! Without further ado, let's go tonight! Lu Jinglian raised his head and was full of confidence

Song Huafu felt that this was too risky: "Jinglian, your loyalty to the saint is already clear, but you only bring ten guards, in case there is a mistake, your family is still in the capital."

"Xiaguan thanked Lord Shang Shuling, but the more people from other countries this envoy, the more we seem to be weak-hearted, if the other party is determined to kill me, it will be the same as much as I bring, my family is small, and the court will naturally not treat it badly!"

Pharmacist Zhu hesitated again, this Lu Jinglian is actually dead or not, the key is to achieve the purpose of the envoy, not to stop Murong Ling, at least to delay a little time to spy on some military information.

"Lu Jinglian, these two countries are fighting each other, not to mention that we have nothing to do with Tuyuhunsu, as long as we know what we know about it this time, what I want is for you to return safely!"

As soon as Lu Jinglian heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is so loving, and the minister will not fail in his mission!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu was very moved, and when he was excited, he directly said the sentence in his heart

"Lu Jinglian, I treat you just like other ministers, you are so fearless of danger, this loyalty makes me feel ashamed of you!"

Lu Jinglian raised his head and replied: "The one who is a confidant dies!" Your Majesty doesn't know that Your Majesty's treatment of his ministers and his ancestors is as deep as the sea! ”

This sentence made Pharmacist Zhu feel even more inexplicable, and it was a bit exaggerated to say that Lu Jinglian was kind to him, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he was also kind to his ancestors.

Pharmacist Zhu was even more puzzled: "Can you explain what you say, I have a bit of a hard time listening!" ”

Lu Jinglian kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, since the minister was appreciated by His Majesty and appointed to govern the internal history of Su, the identity of the eight generations of untouchables of the minister's ancestors has finally been eliminated, and the neighbors will no longer laugh at the minister!" The minister's family can also raise their eyebrows! ”

Only then did Pharmacist Zhu remember that after entering Luoyang, in order to solve the problem of transporting grain, he posted the imperial list, and Lu Jinglian, who had worked for a long time in Xiang Xiaoyu's mansion, unveiled the imperial list.

In the past, the supply of grain and rice in Luoyang relied on the Wei ** team to escort the fleet of grain transportation teams on land and water, which was slow and consumed a lot along the way.

After Zhu Yaoshi moved the capital, the number of people increased by nearly 100,000 at once, and grain transportation became the most difficult matter.

After many years of war, there are bandits and bandits of all sizes along the way from Luoyang to Jinling, and if there are fewer soldiers and horses to escort the grain transportation team, the grain is very likely to fall into the hands of the bandits, but if the brigade is dispatched, more grain and grass will be consumed.

After Lu Jinglian unveiled the list, he was taken into Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Yin Zhu Bocong was taken aback, and he was about to go out immediately.

"A pariah dares to expose the emperor's list, is he impatient?"

In fact, Zhu Bocong himself was just a horseman three years ago, and because he was the uncle of Zhu Yaoshi, he was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin.

Fortunately, Sicang joined the army and Huang Xinong immediately dissuaded: "Lord Zhu, why don't you use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, this person dares to expose the emperor's list, just rush this guts, maybe he really has a way, in case he is a liar, it is not too late for the court to deal with it!" ”

Zhu Bocong suddenly realized, and pointed at Lu Jinglian: "You can talk about your method"

"Each performs its own duties, and the matter returns to the original owner" Lu Jinglian said these eight words.

Zhu Bocong didn't understand and continued to ask, but Lu Jinglian asked to see the emperor.

"I can only tell the emperor the specific method, and I will bear all the blame alone" Lu Jinglian never refused to say his own method.

In desperation, Zhu Bocong had no choice but to send someone to send Lu Jinglian to Shangshu Mansion.

Shang Shuling Song Huafu didn't ask Lu Jinglian about the way, but felt that he could make a good deal with these eight words.

When Pharmacist Zhu met Lu Jinglian, he was sleepy-eyed, and he didn't see what Lu Jinglian looked like at all.

Fortunately, when Lu Jinglian said it, Song Huafu understood.

Song Huafu immediately sang loudly and wanted to appoint Lu Jinglian as the governor of Su Neishi.

Pharmacist Zhu was almost frightened: "Lord Shang Shuling is going to promote him unusually!" Can his method really solve the problem of transporting grain in the capital? ”

Song Huafu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, do you know how the grain in Luoyang was transported fifty years ago, there were three million people in Luoyang at that time, but now there are only 300,000 people. ”

"But at that time, the world was peaceful, and there was no need for an army to escort grain and rice! Now there are small streams of rogues even thirty miles outside Luoyang City! Pharmacist Zhu felt that Song Huafu was really a scholar, and was ready to veto his proposal

"Your Majesty, there were more troops at that time than now, and even outside Luoyang City, there were 150,000 troops stationed there! The minister thought that if an army was requisitioned to be responsible for exterminating the Liukou, and the soldiers and horses were allowed to be recruited from all over the country to suppress the bandits, so as to ensure the smooth flow of the grain route, then it would be possible to transport grain from Jinling to Luoyang in a month at most! ”

Only then did Pharmacist Zhu understand the true meaning of returning each to its original owner, the role of the army was originally to resist foreign enemies and exterminate bandits, and the transportation of grain and rice was the business of the caravan.

"I understand, it seems that this idea was actually thought of by Shang Shuling, so this important matter will be handled by Shang Shuling!"

"The minister has the order, but this Lu Jinglian is indeed meritorious, and now there is still a vacancy in the internal history of the Su Dynasty, and the minister still asks His Majesty to appoint him as the internal history of the Su Dynasty!" Song Huafu was very persistent

Zhu Yaoshi was about to say that Lu Jinglian was from a pariah, but then he thought that he was also a pariah, so he swallowed his words back and approved Song Huafu's recital.

After Lu Jinglian was appointed as the governor of Su Neishi, he received the full support of Song Huafu, and under Song Huafu's continuous play, Zhu Yaoshi sent Zhao Wei to lead the fifth army

Wan exterminated the bandits along the way, and issued an edict to recruit troops to suppress the bandits, and the seizures of the exterminated bandits were distributed by the localities themselves.

After half a year of suppressing bandits, not only did they open up the grain road, but even Zhao Wei's 50,000 soldiers and horses were able to raise grain and grass on their own.

The short eight words allowed Wei to solve a big problem, and even Song Huafu sighed: "The big things in the world sometimes have to rely on small people to do!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu looked at Lu Jinglian again and nodded: "Okay, I believe you, more than half a year ago, you solved the urgent need of the imperial court, and this time I still believe in you!" ”

Lu Jing didn't even say anything after tears, just kowtowed three times and withdrew from the hall to follow the ten internal guards to the west.

Wang Tiezhu arrived in Chang'an City three days earlier than Murong Ling, and at this time, the thirteen counties of Xu, Shiping, Wugong, Shangyi, Liquan, Jingyang, Yunyang, Sanyuan, Yijun, Tongguan, Huayuan, Fuping, and Liyang on the periphery of Chang'an had all been taken by Murong Ling.

However, Lu Jinglian also arrived two days earlier than Wang Tiezhu, and went straight to Wugong County to meet Murong Ling.

Murong Ling didn't embarrass Lu Jinglian, and talked with Lu Jinglian alone in the secret room all night.

Lu Jinglian's righteous words and some countermeasures that he had thought of before were all invalid.

Most of the time, Murong Ling was saying that seeing Lu Jinglian alone was just a pretense, but in fact Murong Ling was complaining.

It turned out that this crusade was not Murong Ling's own idea, but the request of the entire Tuyuhun clan.

Murong Ling told them that he was already Zhu Yaoshi's brother-in-law, but the clansmen didn't mind, even Zhu Xuehua didn't mind.

Murong Ling also excused himself and said that he could only draw with Wang Tiezhu, but the clansmen said that he was too modest, and Zhu Xuehua also said that Murong Ling was the first in the world.

Murong Ling bitterly admonished Tuyuhun that Tuyuhun's current strength was not enough to compete for the world, but King Bailan said that if he was divided today, Tuyuhun would be united, even if he could not dominate the world, he could enter the main pass and dominate the world.

The fanatical clansmen and the constant persecution of his wife made Murong Ling have no choice but to put on the battlefield and embark on the road of the Eastern Crusade.

According to Murong Ling's assumption, it would take more than half a year to lay down the counties on the periphery of Chang'an, but the reality played a joke on him.

Murong Ling came to Chang'an once, yes, it was the time when he took the head of the Green Flag Khanate among the ten thousand armies.

Although Murong Ling was defeated in Chang'an, but his martial arts were rumored to be more and more divine, after knowing that the main person who came to attack Chang'an this time was Murong Ling, the counties along the way chose to surrender in Kaecheng.

Murong Ling and his clansmen have always pretended to be high, and Tuyuhun himself is very wealthy, so he doesn't bother to loot and burn at all, and these surrendered cities have finally chosen the right one.

Originally, He Wuji, who was guarding Chang'an, was ready to lead his troops to abandon the city and escape, and Wang Tiezhu's arrival added enough confidence to him.

At least one person who had a tie with Murong Ling was here.

The unusually smooth march of the Eastern Expedition made Murong Ling even more difficult, and the 50,000 horses under his command had already shouted out that they would enter Chang'an within ten days.

In this martial arts county, there are already many people who are sending gifts to ask for officials, and in their opinion, the Tuyuhun army is just around the corner when the Tuyuhun army enters Chang'an.

Only Murong Ling knew that it was very difficult to defeat Chang'an, and even if Chang'an was to be captured, Tuyuhun would suffer heavy losses, but at present, even if he hid alone, these fanatical soldiers would rush to Chang'an City.

Lu Jinglian's arrival made Murong Ling feel that he had a chance, and after Murong Ling complained about his grievances, he told Lu Jinglian that he had a bold idea.

Lu Jinglian opened his mouth wide after hearing this: "This, I'm afraid this won't work!" ”
