Is the news reported by Lu Mu true?

True, of course.

At this moment, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, was taking Bai Fangming, the general under his tent, holding the reins, standing not far from the high slope where Zhao Hongrun and his party chose to stay overnight, smelling the fragrant smell of roast mutton coming from the light of the bonfire.

"Hmm...... It smells so good. ”

Sniffing the fragrance greedily as if intoxicated, Bai Fangming licked his lips and muttered with some appetite: "I don't know if they are willing to share it with me......"

"......" Sima An glanced at Bai Fangming coldly and said nothing.

He has seen this faceless and skinless general for a long time, so he is not surprised.

"Humph! There are yin all around, and in this kind of place, they spend the night and light a bonfire, is it really that those yin rong are all blind? Sima An snorted coldly with an unhappy face.

Seeing this, Bai Fangming glanced at his general helplessly, and said as if he was amused: "General, you are really worried about the safety of His Royal Highness King Su, so you can say it directly, why beat around the bush?" ”

"When did you say that you were worried about His Royal Highness King Su?" Sima An's expression was cold, and after a slight pause, he frowned and explained, "I just think this matter is inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Fangming scratched the root of his neck and said casually: "According to this, less than two miles away, it is the military camp of my Dangshan Army, if His Royal Highness King Su is attacked, as long as you shout, our Dangshan Army can hear it...... Who would be so short-sighted and attack His Royal Highness King Su? ”

"Humph!" Sima An glanced at Bai Fangming with a look of 'you are still far away', and said coldly: "The defeated since ancient times have all held your casual and naïve thoughts. ”

"Yes, yes, be cautious, the purpose of our Dangshan Army, I remember." Bai Fangming said perfunctorily.

Right now. Zhao Hongrun's side of the sect guard Lu Mu went and returned, and said to the two of them with his hands clenched into fists: "General Sima, and this general, His Royal Highness King Su is invited." ”

"Lead the way." Sima An nodded and said.

At this moment, Bai Fangming said with a smile: "General." The last general will escort you here, you can go yourself, and the last general will go to them and ask for a few pieces of mutton to taste. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Sima An's attitude, and under Lu Mu's stunned gaze, he ran to the campfire in the distance, and asked the guards and Su Wangwei for barbecue.

Vaguely, you can still hear the voices of Bai Fangming, Zong Wei Mu Qing and others.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing. Here's what I baked...... Who are you? ”

"Don't see outside, don't see outside, my name is Bai Fangming, I am from the Dangshan Army, and I am accompanying my general to meet His Royal Highness King Su at this moment...... The general of my family is a proud person, and he can't pull his face to admit his mistake to His Royal Highness King Su, so he pulled me along...... Why are you so stingy? It's just a piece of meat......"

"There's still raw meat there, you have to eat it and roast it yourself."

"Don't be so angry, we still have to get along in the future, right? Not? Anyway, you're all burnt. Brother, can you handle this? ”

"Love or not!"

"Hmm...... That brother. Can you share some of the barbecue in your hand? ”

Listening to the sound of words not far away, Lu Mu's face showed a little weirdness.

"It is rumored that the Dangshan Army, which is strict in slaughter, is still so faceless and skinless...... Hmm, a straightforward and open-minded general?'

Lu Mu secretly glanced at General Sima An in front of him, and vaguely found that this general seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and he didn't know that it was because of Bai Fangming's cheeky rogue behavior of begging the guards for barbecue. He was still annoyed and angry that Bai Fangming had revealed the purpose of their trip.

No matter what the truth was, Lu Mu always felt that if he and this great general continued to stay here, maybe this great general would draw his sword and rush towards the general named Bai Fangming.

"General, please come here."

"Hmm."

Lu Mu hurriedly invited Sima An to the place where Zhao Hongrun was.

At this time. Zhao Hongrun was still standing on that high slope, looking at the military camp of the Dangshan Army, but there were no more Mi Jiang and Shen Yu around him, obviously, these two people had left to avoid suspicion.

"General, please."

Lu Mu took the initiative to take the reins from Sima An's hand.

Sima An nodded, and under Lu Mu's unexpected gaze, he untied the weapon on his body and handed it to the latter.

"General Sima An, he is really a very strict general......

Seeing that Sima An had reorganized his armor after taking the initiative to hand over his weapon, and then walked towards the high slope, Lu Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After all, many times, a person's personality can be seen from a small thing.

It's like untying the weapon, to be honest, this is a convention, a traditional rule, but the problem is that he Lu Mu didn't mention it, after all, he didn't think that Sima An would harm His Royal Highness, but even so, Sima An still took the initiative to hand over the weapon, as if this was a matter of course.

This shows that this great general is a general who pays great attention to "rules".

"Let's talk slowly."

Glancing ahead, Lu Mu led the horse and left.

At this time, Sima An had already come to Zhao Hongrun's side, stopped at the back half of his body, and looked in the same direction as Zhao Hongrun.

But he didn't take the initiative to speak.

"What a proud man......

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Sima An beside him with his spare eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.

But then again, since Sima An had already shown signs of softening and took the initiative to come, he didn't want to ask for more.

So, he said: "This night is really like a star umbrella cover...... Since the general became Gao Pass, has he ever climbed high to look at the night view like this? ”

"......" Sima An glanced up at the starry night sky, then glanced at the dark distance, and said calmly: "A certain person is a rough person, and he can't understand such an elegant ...... as His Royal Highness King Su."

"Heh, in fact, the sixth king brother is the 'elegant person' in the mouth of the general, and this king is just a vassal elegance." Zhao Hongrun chuckled, and then laughed at himself: "Standing here, to be honest, this king can't experience the elegance of the sixth royal brother, this king just thinks ...... Compared to heaven and earth, man. It's really small. ”

『……』

A trace of doubt flashed in Sima An's eyes when he looked at Zhao Hongrun, because he felt that the words spoken by His Highness seemed to contain some kind of deep meaning.

However, he didn't have time to care about this problem at the moment, and he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Su left the barracks of my Dangshan Army in anger this evening. But are you waiting for the last general? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hongrun admitted it unabashedly.

Sima An was a little surprised by Zhao Hongrun's honesty, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "If the last general does not come, His Royal Highness King Su will really regard my Dangshan army as a rebel in ten days, and lead the Shangshui army to personally conquer our army?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hongrun nodded.

"......" Sima An opened his mouth, and then said in an inexplicable tone: "Your Highness, you can know that if Your Highness really did this." Your Majesty and the Imperial Court will also condemn Your Highness for this matter......"

"Of course this king knows." Zhao Hongrun said lightly.

Thinking about it, it is not much different from being rebellious and anti-country to frame a general at the level of "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison" without authorization, and then lead the army to conquer it.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how much Wei Tianzi doted on Zhao Hongrun in the past, he would still punish the latter severely for this matter. And even because of this, it affects the relationship between father and son, after all. Sima An used to be the Zongwei next to Wei Tianzi, and their relationship was deeper than that of Zhao Hongrun, Shen Yu and others.

"Why? Why does Your Highness do this for those Yin Rong people? Sima An asked.

Zhao Hongrun did not answer Sima An immediately, but diverted the topic and asked, "General, do you know, in fact." Many of the people in Daliang City were once descendants of the Liang Kingdom? ”

Sima An was stunned when he heard this, but he understood what Zhao Hongrun wanted to express, shook his head and said, "That's different." …… Perhaps they were once descendants of the Liang Kingdom, but now they have long been accommodated in the Great Wei. Proud to be a Wei person......"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and asked rhetorically: "Then what is the general's conclusion that the 'Yin Rong' in the general's mouth will not become a member of my Wei people in the future?" ”

"Huh?"

Sima Abe looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and asked in astonishment, "His Royal Highness King Su...... Want to absorb Yin Rong into my Wei people? ”

"Is the general against it?"

"This ......," Sima An said with a deep groan on his face.

It's no wonder, after all, with the precedent of 'Liang State', Sima An naturally can't say anything too targeted, after all, he is not a real Wei person, and even if it is Zhao Hongrun, isn't the blood flowing in his body mixed with the blood of the Gu Liang people and the Gu Zheng people?

Hundreds of years after the Ji surname Zhao moved out of Longxi, the bloodline of this pure Wei people may have long been confused with the Liang, Zheng and other ancient people because of their marriage.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the "non-my race" in Sima Anxin actually refers to "a foreign race that refuses to be integrated into the Wei people".

"This king is not angry with the general for killing the Qian, after all, as a Wei person, this king also feels that those Qianren live in the territory that belongs to my Great Wei, but they still speak ill of my Great Wei and provoke me many times, which is really hateful. …… However, the general, among the people of Sanchuan slaughtered by the Dangshan army these days, there are many people who are friendly with our Great Wei in the eyes of this king, and can accommodate the people of the two tribes of Xuan and Qi in my Great Wei, which is what this king cannot tolerate. ”

Glancing at Sima An, Zhao Hongrun said unceremoniously: "If a country wants to gain a firm foothold in troubled times, it needs a strong army, and whether the army is strong depends on the weapons and equipment and the soldiers themselves. …… This king can boast that our smelting bureau can build more than 100,000 or 200,000 sets of weapons and equipment within a year, but our smelting bureau cannot change the source of more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops...... When the party was defeated, my Great Wei was in a slump for more than 20 years, and I could only give up the land of Sanchuan to the people of Sanchuan today, why? It's nothing more than the soldiers who died in that defeat, those adult men, which made my Great Wei vitality greatly damaged. Therefore, in the king's view, the foundation of the state lies in the people. …… Last year, this king crusaded against the Chu State, and absorbed more than 400,000 people of the Chu State, in the eyes of the general, those people should belong to the enemy, right? However, those Chu people, who now live in the three counties of Yanling, Changping, and Shangshui, and choose themselves to become Wei people, can this be regarded as the king who 'killed' more than 400,000 enemies? Just released a piece of news, there were more than 400,000 people in the Chu State who were voluntarily "killed" by this king, but this king did not spend a single soldier, the general felt that the efficiency of the Dangshan army to kill the enemy, compared with the efficiency of this king's "killing the enemy", which is higher or lower? ”

“……”

Sima An listened to Zhao Hongrun's "novel" remarks with some dumbfoundedness, and was speechless. (To be continued.) )
