Chapter 164: Commonplace "Reward and Change" 4/19

"PS: I heard that some book lovers accuse this book of being inconsistent with history? Well, I would like to mention it here, because this book is originally an empty one, but it is just a borrowing of certain countries and dynasties in history. However, place names, humanities, and the reforms of various countries that will be written later, etc., still refer to history, and interested book friends can guess which countries have appeared in which eras, and secondly, the setting of which characters is actually a reference to the virtuous ministers and famous generals who appeared in history.

Note: It's not just limited to Wei.

"Ninety percent ......"

After hearing this amount, Lu Wen, the patriarch of the Lu clan, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but maliciously speculate, did the so-called King Su from the weak Wei State in front of him really understand how much wealth 'half of the family wealth' meant?

Not to mention, perhaps in the general eyes of the Wei people, the Chu State is a poor and backward country, but in the eyes of the big clans of the Chu State, the Wei State is just a poor and remote land, and it is also a poor and remote land that has been frequently attacked by their Great Chu army over the years.

It's just that this time, I don't know what kind of shit luck this group of Wei troops had, and they actually defeated the 160,000 army under the command of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and attacked the territory of their Chu State.

Therefore, even if they were coerced at this moment and had to kneel on the snow, the eyes of the Lu clan people looked at Zhao Hongrun and others with a certain contempt, just like the aristocrats looked at the commoners and the county people looked at the countryside with contempt, full of inexplicable superiority.

"Ninety percent?! Why?! ”

A young member of the Lu clan stood up and angrily objected.

"Why? Naturally, the life and death of your people are all in the hands of this king, how stupid are you?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the Lu clan member who opened his mouth with a strange expression, but he didn't say what was in his heart, after all, with his status and status, it was not appropriate to say this.

Thereupon. Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Yan Mo beside him......

Belch?

What about the Yan Mo people?

Zhao Hongrun looked around in surprise, only to find that the "guide" General Yan Mo was standing behind him at the moment, looking at the magnificent gatehouse attentively.

"Yan Mo?" Zhao Hongrun called suspiciously.

"Huh?" Yan Mo woke up like a dream, and hurriedly took a few steps to Zhao Hongrun's side. He asked in a low voice, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Although he had the intention to let Yan Mo deal with this matter, in this situation, if he opened his mouth to explain the process of Fang Cai, it would inevitably be too cheap.

"Yan Mo usually looks quite reliable, why is it ...... now?"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help muttering, after all, Yan Mo didn't look like a person who would drop the chain at a critical time.

Fortunately, at this moment, the words of Lu Wen, the patriarch of the Lu clan, resolved Zhao Hongrun's embarrassment at the moment.

"The general...... Is it me Chu? ”

"......" Yan Mo glanced at Lu Wen when he heard this, and his attitude was very cold for some reason: "Not bad." What do you have for advice? ”

Na Lu Wen was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "We are also from Chu, can the general plead with this King Su for my Lu clan?" ”

"Is it appropriate to say such things in front of this king?"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little amused, but he didn't stop it, because he could see from the look on Yan Mo's face that this rare general seemed to have something to do with the people of the Lu clan in front of him.

And it doesn't seem to be a friendly affair.

Sure enough, after Yan Mo heard Lu Wen's words. With a look of mockery on his face, he couldn't stop chuckling.

"Hehehe. Hehehehe...... Are you begging me? ”

Lu Wen looked at Yan Mo puzzled, and nodded hesitantly for a long time: "Old decay, I implore the general to intercede on my behalf." ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at Yan Mo in surprise, because it could be seen from Yan Mo's expression that he had an inexplicable pleasure at this moment, which was much happier than when Zhao Hongrun praised him in front of the generals.

Yan Mo looked straight at Lu Wen. After a long time, there was a mocking look in his eyes: "The swill at the end of the year is still intended to be used to feed poultry and livestock?" ”

The expression on Lu Wen's face couldn't help but change, because he heard a different meaning from Yan Mo's expression and words, an unforgettable disgust and hatred.

Just as he expected. After Yan Mo finished saying that mocking word, his face really showed hatred full of disgust, stretched out a finger and shook it, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, General Ben will never be able to intercede for your Lu clan, on the contrary, General Ben also thinks that His Royal Highness King Su is too merciful to you......"

"You ......," Lu Wen pointed at Yan Mo angrily.

"You betray the Lord and surrender to the enemy, and you dare to be disrespectful to my Lu clan, who gave you the courage!" Another young and vigorous member of the Lu clan stood up, pointed at Yan Mo and scolded loudly: "You must know, this is Da Chu!" ”

"So what?" Yan Mo snorted coldly disdainfully, raised his hand and pointed at the Lu clan member who spoke disrespectfully to him, and said coldly: "Drag it out." ”

From the side, the soldiers of the Pingxuan army did not say a word, and rushed forward to drag the man out.

At this time, a group of young Lu clan members beside the man stood up one after another, as if preparing to resist.

Seeing this, Yan Mohu's eyes widened, he suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, and shouted: "Who dares to move?!" …… If one person dares to act rashly, the whole clan will be slaughtered!! ”

Before the words fell, the nearby Pingxuan soldiers also aimed their weapons at those Lu clan people.

"Slaughtered by the whole clan?!"

Those young Lu clan members turned pale when they heard this, and finally knelt on the ground again under the scolding of their patriarchs and family elders, and watched as the young man who didn't know whether he was a clan brother or a clan brother was dragged out by the soldiers of the Ping Xuan Army and dragged in front of Yan Mo.

"Yan Mo...... It's a lot of killing intent......

Zhao Hongrun looked at Yan Mo, who looked a little excited, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

After all, since he beat Yan Mo to him, he had never seen this calm and rational general show such an excited and ruthless expression.

"Huh!"

Yan Mo directly put the sword in his hand on the young man's neck, and said lightly: "It's true that this is Chudi, but can you stop Yan from killing you?" …… No! ”

After that, Yan Mo raised his sword and fell. slashed the other party's throat with a sharp blade, and coldly watched the man clutching his throat and struggling in pain on the ground.

"It's really hands......

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised by Yan Mo's decisiveness.

At this moment, he would not pretend to accuse Yan Mo of not killing people, on the contrary, he felt that Yan Mo killed well.

After all, in this world, there are really some people who don't cry when they don't see the coffin. For example, these people of the Lu clan, obviously the lives of the entire clan are in his hands Zhao Hongrun, and they are still trying to talk about any conditions, which is simply ridiculous.

Although it is not appropriate to rob other people's wealth, if it is to rob those big clans of the Chu State, Zhao Hongrun really has no sense of guilt.

Look at these Lu clan people, all of them are brightly dressed, wide and fat, like such pampered big clan people. Will he surrender his identity and cultivate it himself? Joke.

Think about it, and know how these people's family wealth was obtained.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun simply stopped talking and let Yan Mo deal with it on his behalf, and he can now be sure that Yan Mo must have some grievances with this Lu clan.

It may be that out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Hongrun visiting those palaces by himself, Yan Mo was more sure in his heart, only to see him shake off the blood on the sword in his hand, and said coldly: "King Su's kindness." You don't care about it, and now you will be the general. But it's not so easy to talk to......"

As he spoke, he raised his sword and pointed at the Lu clan who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If anyone is willing to reveal the location of the Lu clan's hidden treasures, this general will be the master and give him half of the Lu clan's property." ”

These words. The people of the Lu clan were shocked, after all, there were many house slaves in the clan who knew where the treasures were hidden, although those house slaves were very loyal in the past, but now, under the temptation of the threat of death and half of the money. Can you still guarantee the loyalty of those house slaves to the Lu clan?

No, even though many of the house slaves scrambled to stand up and shouted, "I know, I know." ”

Seeing this, Yan Mo showed a cold smile on his face.

After half a ring, Yan Mo found Zhao Hongrun, who was visiting the decoration and furnishings of the house, in the largest palace.

Probably hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhao Hongrun glanced back, and then pointed to the luxurious furnishings in the house, and said with emotion: "Yan Mo, when you were in Runan, you once told this king that the sheep tongue clan was nothing in the Chu country, and this king was still suspicious at the time, but now, ...... The king believed. ”

Yan Mo glanced in the direction pointed by Zhao Hongrun, and saw that the wall table in the room was full of many different styles of jade, including white jade, Pei Cui Tsushima, and other precious jade, abounding.

"It's a pity that the last general still has to remind His Royal Highness King Su that these decorations in the house are still just a drop in the bucket compared to the treasures hidden in the secret vault of the Lu family."

"Really?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Yan Mo with some shock, because in his opinion, this place was far more luxurious than the Wenzhao Pavilion in his Great Wei Palace, and there were many precious jades, not to mention that he Zhao Hongrun had it, and he had never even seen it.

"Absolutely." Yan Mo said with an oath.

After speaking, he saw Zhao Hongzhao looking at the jade stones in the room with admiration, licking his lips, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you for Your Royal Highness Su's tolerance to the last general." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Yan Mo, picked up a piece of bloodstone-like jade from the wall table, and asked lightly while playing, "Happy?" ”

"Ahh Yan Mo nodded and said with emotion: "This grievance has been hidden in the heart of the last general for more than 20 years...... It's just a commonplace. ”

What are the specific grievances, Zhao Hongrun did not ask in detail, and Yan Mo did not say it clearly.

"People of the Lu clan ......"

"The last general will keep in mind the teachings of His Highness, and when the goal is achieved, there is no need to kill senselessly."

"Good. …… Tell the Yan Ling soldiers to come in and move things, and as for those Lu clansmen, if they don't want to move to Runan, leave them a few bags of grain and let them fend for themselves. ”

"The last will understand."

Yan Mo hugged his fists and respectfully withdrew.

Walking outside the house, his eyes inadvertently looked at the magnificent gatehouse again, and Yan Mo couldn't help but lose his mind again.

He seemed to be able to vaguely see that in the snow outside the gatehouse, a father and son kneeling, begging the Lu family, hoping to rent a bag of grain.

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Can you enjoy some more food? This boy of mine followed me for most of the day, hungry in his belly...... Can you give some expensive land to eat the leftovers......

"Hey, you guys still have to inch in?"

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Feed, feed livestock? This ......

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Pigs can be slaughtered and eaten meat when they are fat, what is the use of you? Get lost! No matter how verbose it is, even this pocket of grain seeds has been taken back......

"Don't, let's go, let's go......

"Hey, don't forget, before the end of tomorrow, you have to pay back five pockets......

"Yes......

"Whew." Yan Mo swallowed his chapped lips and let out a long breath: "Ah, commonplace......"

At the same time, near the small dirt slope in the distance outside the Lu Clan's city, a group of people were stopping here, frowning and watching as many soldiers moved things out one after another, carrying large boxes of things onto the carriage.

"Have you already attacked this place?"

The leader of the group took off the cloak that covered his head, revealing his true face.

Take a closer look, this is clearly Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

"Childe, it seems that the news is accurate, many of my Dachu sergeants have surrendered to that Ji Run...... Now that Ji Run's army is huge, I am afraid that Xuancheng will not be able to resist it, so it is better to ask the king for help. ”

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, frowned and glanced at the mouthy guard, his face a little unhappy.

But after a few thoughts, he finally nodded: "So far, that's the only way to go." …… A few of you, immediately set off for the royal capital Shouying (later Shouchun) and report this matter to the king. ”

"What about you, Childe?"

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Ji Runxiao'er must be going for my Xuancheng this time, how can he get his wish!" ”

Obviously, he didn't intend to avoid Zhao Hongrun's edge, and still settled to return to Zhidi Xuancheng and reorganize the army to fight against Zhao Hongrun. (To be continued.) )
