Chapter 58 Lu Wenhuan

This General Lu thought about his thoughts, and he also believed that Ma Youyi slowly walked in front of Zhang Xian, hugged his fists at Zhang Xian and said:

"This general, Lu Wenhuan, the deputy general of Xiangyang City, I don't know what to call this food and salary officer?"

When Zhang Xian heard this, his heart suddenly came to his heart, this Lu Wenhuan is not an ordinary person, his name is Changshan, his nickname is Lu Liu, and he is from Huoqiu County, An Fengjun. LΓΌ Wenhuan served as a general of the Song Dynasty in the later stages of the Battle of Xiangyang in Song, Meng, and Yuan, and held on to the Mengyuan court for six years when the food and reinforcements were cut off. In the eighth year of saltiness, the Xiangyang soldiers ran out of food, and Lu Wenhuan surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and planned to attack Ezhou for the Yuan Dynasty, inviting himself to be the vanguard. Later, as the guide of Boyan, the generalissimo of the Mengyuan army, he led the Yuan army eastward to break through and surrender the states along the river. In the second year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army occupied Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lu Wenhuan entered the city with Boyan. He was the official to the right of Jianghuai Province. Later, he returned to his hometown and died at home during the Dade period.

To tell the truth, history scolds Lu Wenhuan mostly, mainly because Lu Wenhuan is more familiar with the advantages of the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty than his cousin Lu Wende, and what loopholes there are, just as Hu Zhishu said: Lu Wenhuan holds the handle of the army, and the brothers and nephews are all over the Taiwan Pavilion, the Song monarchs and ministers are virtuous and foolish, the Song River and the mountains and cities are flawed and strong, the number of Song soldiers and people is false and real, and the gains and losses of the Song soldiers' criminal politics are clumsy. The sons and nephews of the Lu family controlled the entire military and political grassroots of the Southern Song Dynasty, and what was even more hateful was that Lu Wenhuan personally led the troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty as a guide, almost overwhelming, and completely destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty in one or two years. Therefore, Wen Tianxiang angrily scolded Lu Wenhuan for being a traitor, in this regard, Lu Wenhuan was scolded by others, which was deserved and not wronged.

However, objectively speaking, Zhang Xian, as a historical spectator who came through the time, knows how much stronger Lu Wenhuan's ability is than Lu Wende, and Xie Fangde, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty and leader of the Anti-Yuan Righteous Army, once said: "Wenhuan has been guarding Xiang for six years. In the name of rebellion, are there any people in the counties along the river who can keep the six days? It means that Lu Wenhuan has been holding on to the isolated city of Xiangyang for six years, and there is almost no contact with the outside world for these six years, and the DPRK and China have always criticized Lu Wenhuan, and the rescue is too late, so that the ammunition is exhausted, it can be said that Lu Wenhuan not only fights with the Mengyuan army outside, but also tries to ask for food and grass reinforcements with the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China, what kind of military talent, political talent and perseverance are needed?

In all fairness, if Zhang Xian stood in Lu Wenhuan's point of view, he would definitely die in battle, let alone learn from Lu Wenhuan to lead troops into the customs and end the Southern Song Dynasty court with his own hands. However, thinking about Lu Wenhuan's dedication, the lonely city has been held for six years, the tragic feat of no one before or since, the food in the city is exhausted, the people are easy to eat, and the sergeants even eat the human flesh of the war dead, Zhang Xian seems to hate it in his heart, maybe Jia Pingzhang rescued in time, maybe Zhang Shijie, Xia Gui, Fan Wenhu and others can rescue, and even who can prevent the Meng Yuan army from getting the most powerful return cannon at that time, these histories will be rewritten, but these are just ifs in Zhang Xian's heart.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian said to Lu Wenhuan:

"Zhang Xian, the grain and salary officer of Yangzhou, meet General Lu!"

Lu Wenhuan saw that even if this Zhang Xian looked at his eyes, his eyes would never wander, he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and there was no tension at all, so young that he had this determination, which made Lu Wenhuan secretly surprised in his heart, and said:

"It turned out to be a grain and salary officer, and it was not easy for you to wait for thousands of miles to escort grain and grass here. The guard in front of him is the general's nephew Lu Wuneng, today's matter, the general will definitely investigate in detail, if someone really asks for bribes, this will never protect the shortcomings, you will go to the city first to pay the emperor's errand, the general's mansion will drink a glass of water and wine in the east at night, some things, I want to ask Zhang Liangguan, I don't know what to do? ”

Zhang Xian didn't expect that Lu Wenhuan would be able to put it down, but he didn't know if Lu Wenhuan invited guests to dinner, was there really something to ask for advice or a Hongmen banquet? However, Zhang Xian also wants to take this opportunity to meet this Lu Wenhuan and see what kind of character the real Lu Wenhuan is! So Zhang Xian said:

"The lower official has thanked General Lu, and he will come to disturb him tonight!"

Lu Wenhuan saw that Zhang Xian agreed without hesitation, and when he saw Zhang Xian looking at the other food and salary officer, he immediately said knowingly:

"Can this commissar come to the house with him for a glass of water and wine in the evening?"

Jiang Yongcheng saw that the general spoke politely and had an extraordinary bearing, but he saw the general talking to Zhang Xian, and he didn't look at him directly, and he was slightly surprised in his heart for a while, but when he saw Zhang Xian's signal, he was immediately full of joy and said:

"Xiaguan Jiang Yongcheng, he will come to disturb at night!"

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lu Wenhuan said to the guard's nephew, Lu Wuneng:

"Now these two food and salary officers are my guests, you are rude, if you really dare to violate the military law of the marshal, I will be the first to spare you. Now hurry up and receive this batch of grain and grass, and someone will come to Xiangyang early tomorrow morning. ”

Then Lu Wuneng can't help it, he can not be afraid of heaven and earth alone, but he is afraid of the two uncles Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wende, these two uncles are in the entire Lu family, that is a god-like existence, any family nephew wants to soar, he needs to rely on them, Lu Wuneng can not only sulk, but also nod strangely and agree.

After Lu Wenhuan explained the matter, he took his own soldiers into the city, Zhang Xian and Jiang Yongcheng looked at each other and smiled, walked up to the guard Lu Wuneng and said:

"Dare to ask this General Lu, should I give out the money now, or will I leave the grain and grass here?"

Lu Wuneng hated it in his heart, but now is not the time to show it, when it comes to his own territory, when will you take your little life, that is when Lao Tzu will be happy. Lu Wuneng snorted coldly and said:

"Since General Lu has an order, count your good luck, then transport it into the city and hand it over to the emperor! Let them in! Bring someone to them to go through the handover procedures, but when the handover is clear, I will see it clearly, if it is short of two catties, shoddy, I will know about it immediately. ”

After Lu Wuneng finished speaking, he ran back with the soldiers without looking back.

Jiang Yongcheng saw that Lu Wuneng ran away in a puff of smoke, laughed and ran to Zhang Xian, and said:

"Lord Zhang has a good means, this dumb guy who is angry can't say how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis, don't mention how happy I am in my heart, wait for the emperor's errand, Brother Ming'er will be the east, let's have a glass of water and wine again? Master Zhang must appreciate the light! ”

Zhang Xian shook his head and said:

"Lord Jiang, we and this guard have already formed a bond, after handing over the emperor's errand, it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to get away safely and steadily, and it will be a matter of drinking sooner or later."

Jiang Yongcheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said:

"What does Master Zhang mean that this Lu Wuneng will secretly make a black hand and put me to death?"

Zhang Xian was noncommittal and said:

"Nine times out of ten!"

Jiang Yongcheng was anxious, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed step by step and said:

"Master Zhang, Brother Zhang, how is this good? If my family fights with these soldiers, where will they be opponents? Brother Zhang, what can we do, we can't sit still? ”

Zhang Xian smiled, this Jiang Yongcheng first began to call himself Lord Zhang, and now he has begun to call Brother Zhang directly, it seems that he is really anxious, and said:

"Brother Jiang, rest assured, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there will always be a way, we will hand over the grain and grass emperor first, and only then can we go back to pay the errand after getting the certificate, we will eat the wine and meat tonight, and we can be sure if we can go home safe and sound!"

Jiang Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, he was really in a hurry, and immediately asked everyone to prepare to start transporting grain and grass, and went to the city to hand over the emperor's errand, under the orders of Zhang Xian and Jiang Yongcheng, two huge grain and grass teams moved, and under the leadership of the guards at the gate, they came to the grain and grass in Ezhou City to prepare to hand over the emperor's errand.

Anyway, after Lu Wuneng returned to the barracks, he angrily dropped the cup, and beat up his own soldiers for no reason, how can he say that he is also the emperor of Ezhou City, and today he actually let a little-known little food and salary officer give a pit, this is not counted, his uncle inexplicably intervened, and it happened that the military ration order came at this time, so that Lu Wuneng was simply dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from Coptis chinensis. Now it is not difficult to forcibly get rid of these two food officials, but I am afraid that if my uncle knows, he will have to teach himself a lesson.

Just when Lu Wuneng was sulking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a personal soldier shouted while running:

"General Lu, it's not good, General Lu, it's not good......"

When Lu Wuneng heard this, his heart became even more angry, he grabbed an inkstone on the table and threw it at the pro-soldier, just smashed it on the head of the pro-soldier, and suddenly a stream of blood flowed down, and Lu Wuneng shouted and scolded:

"Your grandmother's is not good, is it not good, is your father dead and your mother remarried, or is your ancestral grave dug up? Get out of here immediately! ”

The pro-soldier covered his forehead and exclaimed in pain, trembling and immediately knelt down for Lu Wuneng, and said with a crying voice:

"General Lu, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned, the little one will get out immediately, and the little one will get out right away!"

After the soldiers finished speaking, they were about to turn around and leave, but Lu Wuneng estimated that he was almost venting his grievances, and after a pause, he said:

"Say, what is it that makes you scream, if you can't say why, see if Lao Tzu doesn't clean you up!"

The soldier was like an amnesty, kowtowed like garlic, and said:

"General Lu asked us to strictly inspect this grain and grass, the quality of the grain and grass transported by Jiang Yongcheng is okay in all aspects, that is, the grain and grass escorted by Yangzhou Zhang Xian does not look like any grain and grass at all, one by one like bricks, it is quite heavy in the hand, and the surname Zhang said that this is called what kind of compressed dry food, which is more expensive than ordinary grain and grass, and his subordinates really dare not accept it, so he came to inform the general."

When Lu Wuneng heard this, he turned his head sideways and asked suspiciously:

"What do you say? The escort surnamed Zhang is not ordinary grain and grass? But something like a brick? ”

The pro-soldier continued:

"Returning to General Lu, it is indeed something like a brick, the grain officer surnamed Zhang originally needed to escort 2,400 stone of grain, of which the war horse forage is 1,400 stones, and this surnamed Zhang only has 600 carts and horses, and only half of the carts and horses come to unload the grain, and the subordinates have calculated that if they want to transport these 2,400 stones of grain and forage, at least 900 taels of carts and horses will be needed, not counting their own consumption of eating horses and chewing along the way."

After listening to what his own soldiers said, Lu Wuneng laughed proudly, and said to himself:

Lao Tzu finally understood, this Diao Min surnamed Zhang, must have not raised so much grain and grass at all, but made some messy grain and grass to fill the number, no wonder this kid surnamed Zhang would like to burn the grain and grass, and when the time comes, it will be good to push two five or six, all blame on Lao Tzu, so insidious! Fortunately, my uncle arrived in time, otherwise I would have been completely yin by this kid brother, and now you will wait for death! ”

After Lu Wuneng figured it out, he called out to his own soldiers and said:

"Pass my general order, gather a thousand men and horses, and immediately surround the granary!"
