Wang Hui naturally didn't know why the two people in front of him happened to be here at this time, but it was not out of character for the old man to bow down to meet him, and Lu Zheng saw that the old man was saluting Wang Hui, and he hurriedly followed the old man to give his hand.

When Lu Zheng heard that General Wang, he realized that he had seen the most powerful person in the entire Northern Xinjiang, and the two of them had not withdrawn their hands for a long time, but Wang Hui had already smiled and said, "The two of them are exempt." ”

Wang Hui looked carefully at the deer's wound, which was almost fatal with an arrow, and looked at the bow and arrow behind the old man's back, which was very sharp, and Wang Hui expected that this person should be a soldier before.

And when I saw Lu Zheng, the original costume was stained with some dirt at this time, but Lu Zheng's face was full of delicate air, and there was even a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which made people look a little good.

The old man saw that Wang Hui was silent for a long time at this time, so he said: "If General Wang likes this deer, I am willing to sacrifice this deer, as a small gift to the generals." ”

"That's not necessary, receiving favors is not what we generals should do. What's more, this is what you hunted first, and it's a bit of a advantage to do so. ”

Wang Hui took a few steps forward, looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?" Archery is so good. ”

"I live in Jilu Prefecture, I was a small soldier a while ago, but I have never made a great contribution, and I have been on the border for half my life until now I am dying, and I am forced by life to hunt here."

The old man's words were sincere, but in a few words, he seemed to have exhausted the sorrows of the world, and Lu Zheng also said at this time: "Now that I am with the old gentleman, I am also a fellow practitioner." ”

Wang Hui nodded, pulled the arrow out of the deer, threw it on the ground, and handed the deer to the old man himself, saying, "The old gentleman has to work hard to make a living when he is old, so bring this deer home." ”

After speaking, Wang Hui walked side by side with the old man and Lu Zheng, along the mountain stream, the light shining in from the forest was very warm, but Wang Jun didn't feel very suitable, he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the current situation of the people in Jilu Prefecture today.

Since Wang Hui took office as the Metropolitan Protector of Anbei, he has not had such cordial contact with many civilians because of his busy government affairs, and he feels a little guilty. Five years ago, when he was appointed governor of Guizhou, he had a deep friendship with the people, won the hearts of the people, and built water conservancy and cultivated tuntian, which almost made the local peace and the people happy.

However, the people of Guizhou, a wild place, are ancient, except for some barbarians who are not religious, there are not many disasters, and the land of Anbei has been a frontier since ancient times, and the ethnic groups are mixed.

At this time, Wang Hui and the old man walked in front, and said as they walked: "How long has the old man lived in Jilu Prefecture?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, since the new emperor practiced the law, I have lived in Jilu Prefecture, and I often hunt in this forest, and I am very familiar with every grass and tree here."

The old man looked up at the sparse branches and leaves in the forest at this time, and suddenly said: "At this time, the sun is already in the west, why don't we return to Jilu Prefecture, and don't miss the important things of the adults." ”

Wang Hui thought for a while, it was still important to inspect, after all, a big protector could not be talked about by the mouth and gossip that did not do his job. Now above the court, those imperial histories are more or less serious to slander and impeach the important ministers on the border, as long as they grasp the evidence, they are also in danger.

For example, at the time of Zhenguan, Su Dingfang, who was fighting the Turks with Li Jingbei in the north, did not be promoted in the next 20 years because he connived at his subordinates to compete for captured materials.

Even if there is great merit, it is necessary to know the depths.

The two guards next to him also nodded one after another, Wang Hui immediately boarded the horse, and the old man and Lu Zheng said goodbye to Wang Hui at this time, and watched them leave.

After Lu Zheng and the old man arrived in Jilu Prefecture later, it was already night, and the two walked to the deserted street, Lu Zheng couldn't help but say: "That General Wang is indeed not arrogant, he can treat his subordinates politely, and he can talk freely, which is really the backbone of the country." ”

The old man was silent at first, and then said: "My Tang Dynasty has never lacked capable people, there are Ming Jun, there are capable officials, even if there is chaos, there are capable people to stop the violence, remove the old and cloth the new." ”

The old man's words are very upright, but Lu Zheng feels that this is also the case, there are capable people in every era, and now Wang Hui, the capital of Anbei, and Guo Qianjun, the capital of Beiting, are both elders, and sometimes they are powerless when they are old, but young generals are also endless.

Suddenly, at this time, the figure in front of him floated, and Lu Zheng and the old man couldn't see clearly that a military academy who walked out of the restaurant was a little drunk, and he was making inappropriate remarks in the alley. However, this person's footsteps were unsteady, Lu Zheng saw that this was the person he met last night, last night this person broke into a private house at night, saying that it was for inspection, but he actually had his own thoughts.

The old man saw Lu Zheng's expression frozen, so he asked, "Have you seen this person?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "I haven't seen it, this person broke into the mansion that day and night, I was forced to tremble by this person's momentum, and I was almost arrested, how can I admit my mistake in such a formation." ”

The old man looked carefully, and the official position of this drunken man should be a guerrilla general, although it was not a very large rank, but he still held a certain amount of authority.

Lu Zheng and the old man were walking behind this person, and suddenly a few more soldiers came out of the restaurant, all of them were drunk, looking at the situation, it was a group of sergeants drinking and getting drunk in the restaurant.

Lu Zheng sighed: "General Wang Hui will also have such soldiers under him, there is no etiquette at all, if I will definitely let these people taste the taste of military law." ”

"Although most of General Wang Hui's subordinates did not commit any crimes, there were also a few of these petty criminals, but although getting drunk violated the military order, it was not a big mistake. General Wang has been under rule for many years, and he will not be ignorant of these truths. The old man chimed in.

These drunken soldiers have been rooted in Jilu Prefecture for many years, and most of them are from the mainland, and some even come from Jingzhao Prefecture, which is Chang'an, Kyoto. In the land of Gyeonggi, there are countless invisible swords and swords, not to mention ordinary nobles, even Prince Zaifu has a time when he can't live in peace.

Some of these people may be from Chang'an, and their families are very good, but if one of them commits a crime, they may be associated and sent to this city, and it is almost impossible to look forward to the day when they come out.

Therefore, as a general, Wang Hui also knows this problem, so he treats these people favorably, and generally does not track down too much. As long as it does not hurt the morale of the military, it will turn a blind eye. The old man understands this truth, and the management of the army requires both leniency and severity, so that sometimes there will be unexpected benefits.

The old man took a closer look at the soldiers in front of him in full uniform, and walked shoulder to shoulder, and the restaurant was still brightly lit at this time.

When he got close to the restaurant, Lu Zheng couldn't help but say: "Everyone knows that something will happen after drinking, and these sergeants only dare to do this when they see Wang Hui not coming for a long time." When he went out of the city just now, there were obviously a few fewer soldiers guarding the city tower, so if an enemy army invaded Jilu Prefecture, it would be difficult to determine the outcome of the battle. ”

"General Wang Hui has entered the city, and these rights and wrongs can be determined by nature."

The old man retorted, his words were full of convincing Wang Hui, and Lu Zheng could hear the status of a good general like Wang Hui in the hearts of the people at the border.
