Chapter 62: Midori's Thoughts

Shi Le's army had slowly approached Luoyang because of the letter from Liu Yao's envoy.

night

Zhang Bin is reading the Spring and Autumn Period at night, and the thick bamboo slips are slowly being opened as the reading progresses.

Shi Le stopped Zhang Bin's personal guard's report, and slowly walked Zhang Bin's tent alone, standing behind Zhang Bin like this, looking at Zhang Bin who was concentrating on reading, without saying a word.

After a long time, Zhang Bin was a little tired, stretched his waist, and was about to add some lamp oil, but saw that someone was already adding lamp oil for himself, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be his lord, and his heart was really warm, and he immediately got up and thanked: "The lord has arrived, why don't you notify your subordinates?" He also personally added fuel to his subordinates, how can this be afforded? ”

Shi Le was not particularly happy to see Zhang Bin's behavior like this, although he expressed his gratitude, but why should he be so concerned with him? The monarch and the ministers are just to rely on their own courtiers, you Zhang Bin is my confidant, do you still need this?

Shi Le waved his hand and said gently: "Why should Mengsun be polite, there is no need to say thank you between you and me, I see that you are so focused, so I don't want to disturb you, if there is no one else in the future, you don't want to call yourself a subordinate anymore."

Zhang Bin saw the loneliness in Shi Le's eyes, and knew that he was a little too scruple about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, but since ancient times, the monarch and the ministers have been like this, Zhang Bin thought for a while and knew Shi Le's intention, and said softly: "The lord is looking for Meng Sun, but is it for Liu Yao's wedding?" ”

Of course, Shi Le knew that Zhang Bin could guess his mind, and his heart was also warm, as long as he encountered a problem and needed to discuss with someone, Zhang Bin would never let himself down.

Shi Le nodded, and said calmly: "Yes, Liu Yao is becoming more and more incomprehensible, not to mention that he wants to marry the empress of Emperor Yi, the former emperor of the Jin Kingdom, in Luoyang, and let me take over Luoyang, what does this mean?" ”

"Liu Yao's ambition is not small, and his heart can also be punished!"

"Oh?"

"Yes, Sima Quan, the prince of Jin, killed because he didn't want to accept Wang Mi's favor, and because he still had the emperor of the Jin State in his hands, Emperor Huai, so he had no fear."

"What about marrying a sheep and offering a face?"

"Naturally, in order to humiliate the people of the Jin Kingdom, there is no better way to hit the hearts of the corporal clan of the Jin Kingdom, which can be described as a punishment!"

"Then why don't you marry Empress Liang, the current queen of the Jin Kingdom? Emperor Jin is only 28 years old, isn't his queen even younger? ”

"It is said that after the city of Luoyang was broken, the Queen Mother of Jin and Queen Liang hanged themselves in their respective palaces......"

"But there are some chaste martyrs, who died well, which is admirable."

"Mengsun admires the sheep even more."

"Oh? Come and listen, how can a woman who betrayed the country make my Mengsun admire? ”

"Hehe, lord, in fact, it's not that Meng Sun admires this woman, but that this woman's will to live is admirable."

"To survive"?

"Well, women have never been just appendages, booty, and wartime food attached to men...... And what about this woman, although she is a plaything of power, she is still the queen after a few scraps, doesn't the lord find it interesting? ”

"Interesting! The Lone King is a little eager to meet this woman! ”

"Hehe, how can there be only one sheep in the heart of the lord? Compared with the lord, Liu Yao is stupid, and he makes the world look down on him for a woman."

"How so?"

"Since ancient times, if a man is for an unsuitable woman, the end will be tragic, although Liu Yao hit the hearts of the Han people, but also aroused the revenge of the Han people."

"So what?"

"Now the Jin Kingdom is strictly speaking, the country has perished, but there are not only my Xiongnu tribes, but also other Hu, and there are many times more Han people than all ethnic groups......"

Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin with flickering eyes, and said in his heart: Is he admonishing me that the Han people cannot be killed, and they still have to rely on the Huairou policy to govern all ethnic groups, especially the Han people."

Zhang Bin did not flinch, but continued to meet Shi Le's gaze: "Lord, do you want the world or the temporary glory of your own clan?!" ”

Shi Le was silent for a long time, he had already determined Zhang Bin's thoughts, it seems that the matter of Kuxian County has a great impact on Zhang Bin, and he should indeed face up to this problem, if the problems of the various tribes are not properly solved, it is impossible for his own tribe to rule the world for a long time, especially the Han people......

Shi Le also seemed to have made a decision in his heart, looking at Zhang Bin's eyes no longer flickering, Shi Le slowly spoke: "Meng Sun is right, the world, our goal has always been only the world!" ”

After Zhang Bin heard Shi Le's answer, he slowly knelt in front of Shi Le, not to please him, but to thank Shi Le for the people of the world, and also for his own heart......

Shi Le hurriedly helped Zhang Bin up, such an act happened to Zhang Bin is commendable, it seems that he is really giving advice for me, fighting for me, he is also a Han Chinese, naturally he does not want to see his own nation slaughtered. Shi Le is really grateful for Confucianism now, without this kind of thinking that only seeks to be a master of Shi Ming, regardless of his background, how could he get a military advisor like Zhang Bin?

Shi Le invited Zhang Bin to go out for a walk together, and Zhang Bin was naturally willing to accompany him.

Shi Le and Zhang Bin walked under the starry sky, looking at the bright moon that raised their heads, Shi Le spoke first: "Since the surrender of Shi Zhan, I only inquired about Mingyue rushed to Luoyang, and now Luoyang has been breached, I don't know what happened to this little girl?" ”

Zhang Bin didn't think about this problem, Mingyue was too important to him, how could he not care? Now when he heard Shi Le asking, he immediately replied: "Lord, the current news only tells us that Mingyue has gone to Luoyang for medical treatment due to physical reasons, and it seems that the illness is not light, and now Luoyang City is full of Liu Yao, Wang Mi, and Hu Yanyan's people, and our spies have been withdrawn, and there is no more accurate news."

"What if they are caught by Liu Yao?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I have investigated in many ways on the side of Shi Zhan's department, maybe these people have received Mingyue's great favor, so I can't find out the exact news of Mingyue, but from the news collected by the spies of our department, it has been confirmed that Shi Zhan's department has divided troops and horses, and the cavalry escorted two women, one large and one small, to Luoyang, and judging from the environment where Chen stayed in Luoyang, it is difficult to reach all of them smoothly, so they can only be a small number of people after they arrive in Luoyang, so it is even more impossible for Mingyue and his party to ask the emperor of Jin for help. Because as far as Meng Sun knows, this Emperor Huai also has a lot of intentions for Mingyue.

So even if Mingyue is in Luoyang, it is impossible for him to be in the hands of Liu Yao and others, and even if it falls into their hands, it is impossible for him to make trouble for himself and reveal his identity, so as long as Mingyue is not dead, he should still be in Luoyang. ”

"Then let's speed up the pace of going to Luoyang, well, by the way, Shi Zhan didn't take the initiative to reveal Mingyue's whereabouts?"

"No ......"

Shi Le just nodded lightly, stopped talking, and after going around the barracks with Zhang Bin, Shi Le spoke: "It's not early, Mengsun should go to sleep too, tomorrow you tell the sergeant to speed up the march, don't necessarily reach Luoyang as soon as possible!" ”

After Zhang Bin respectfully agreed, he watched Shi Le slowly leave. Zhang Bin's thoughts also drifted to Mingyue, and he said to himself in an inaudible voice: "Mingyue, you have to wait for me......"

The next day, Shi Le issued a military order to the whole army to rush to Luoyang.

Shi Zhan rode a horse and looked at his subordinates, because they were all infantry troops and people, and Shi Le was not in a hurry to fight for Luoyang, so he did not let Shi Zhan's subordinates go to Shi Le's territory to settle down first, but asked to march with the large army, but such troops could naturally only follow the rear team, which made Shi Zhan, who could not act as a striker, very anxious!

Shi Zhan is also worried about Mingyue, for so long, I don't know if Mingyue has arrived in Luoyang, now Luoyang has been breached, and I hope she is not in Luoyang, and now she will follow Shi Le's army to Luoyang......

Xiao Lu and the homeless people also followed, Xiao Lu looked at Shi Zhan's depressed appearance, and naturally knew who Shi Zhan was worried about, Xiao Lu actually had a trace of inexplicable jealousy in his heart, but what could he say? can only accompany Shi Zhan silently like this......

Suddenly, a cavalryman quickly came to Shi Zhan's front and got off his horse and reported: "Little general, General Shi Hu received an order from the military division, let your troops cooperate with General Shi Hu to drive to Yuyuan Pass first, and then rest first!" Wait for the armies to converge! ”

Shi Zhan was a little stunned, why didn't you let me go to Luoyang? Shi Zhan immediately looked at this cavalryman and asked, "Why don't you let my troops go to Luoyang too!" ”

"This is a military order, not something I can guess, please go to General Shi Hu to act together and say goodbye!"

Shi Zhan looked at the fast-leaving herald cavalry in a daze, and suddenly felt an inexplicable hatred in his heart......

Xiao Lu also heard the military order, and looked at Shi Zhan's gaze for some reason, and became gentle, she only knew that he was in heartache now......

Xiao Lu slowly approached Shi Zhan's side, and his little hand held Shi Zhan's hand tightly, not saying anything, just standing quietly by Shi Zhan's side.

Shi Zhan didn't resist Xiao Lu's kindness, in his opinion, Xiao Lu just cared about him, and he also liked that he had someone by his side to accompany him, maybe Xiao Lu was the only thought left to him by Mingyue......

"Brother Liang, Princess Mingyue will definitely be fine, she is so kind, God will definitely not let her have anything to do!"

Shi Zhan listened to Xiao Lu's affirmative words, and couldn't help but look down at Xiao Lu's eyes, which were so clean and bright......

Shi Zhan stretched out his other hand and touched Xiao Lu's head with pity, revealing a rare smile......

Xiao Lu looked at Shi Zhan's long-lost smile, and was very happy, but then it occurred to him that this smile would be better if it was only for me......
