Chapter 233: The Lu Family Brothers
Jin Liang said Lu Dai again, no longer said, but turned his head to Lu Fan and whispered: "Pay close attention to the situation at his family, and give enough money and food every month." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Fan nodded: "I will tell the Quartermaster Department to keep an eye on it." β
Jin Liang introduced Lu Fan to Lu Dai, Lu Dai stood in front of the rich and handsome Lu Fan, and his image was suddenly a big difference, but Lu Dai didn't care, and shook hands with Lu Fan very calmly.
Jin Liang looked at Lu Dai and Lu Fan, and was very proud in his heart, blue-eyed son and grandson Quan, the two great Simas under you have been invited by me Jin Liang, the white-clothed metropolitan governor Lu Meng came, and the scholar metropolitan governor Lu Xun arrived later, your Sun family will be a little more restrained in the future, even if Dongwu can establish a country, don't think about how many years Huang Wu has been, and you will soon be yellow.
Jin Liang looked at the weak horse behind Lu Dai who could only pull the cart on the arable land, and quickly ordered someone to bring a good Hequ war horse, holding the reins in his own hand, and asked Lu Dai to sit on it.
Lu Dai rode on a horse, looking at the many fresh landscapes in Xiangyang, it was really an eye-opener, and said to Jin Liang: "I came from Guangling, all the way north, and the world I saw was like hell. β
Jin Liang laughed and said: "Dinggong, you have a good reputation, the politics of Xuzhou under the rule of Tao Tingshi, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it should be far better than Jizhou, right?" β
Lu Dai scoffed: "Tao Qian reuses the Chen family, the Mi family and other families, although Chen Deng is the captain of the agricultural school, Tuntian is quite meritorious, but his brother Chen Ying is greedy and unkind, for the disaster in the township, the children of the Chen family do not cultivate morality, and even indulge in harboring bandits and pirates, the Mi family is also for the rich and unkind, clever robbery, Tao Qian also favored Buddhism, Xia Pi Xiang Rong supervised the management of Guangling, Xiapi, Pengcheng to transport grain, he was under Tao Qian's acquiescence, the use of the grain in his hands, the big Futu Temple, can accommodate more than 3,000 people, read Buddhist scriptures, and to believe in Buddhism and exempt from military service as a call, It attracted more than 5,000 households, and unjustifiably consumed food that could be used for disaster relief and rescue. Xuzhou seems to be rich, but because Xuzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, thousands of acres of fertile land, and a land of abundance from God, it is not because Tao Qian has a good way of governing the government. β
Jin Liang smiled and asked, "Hailing County Ling is a child of the Chen family?" β
Lu Dai nodded angrily: "What my brother expected, I had written to Tao Qian three times twice before, exposing Hailing County's crime of making Chen Rui fornicate with thieves and pirates, but Tao Qian didn't want to offend the Chen family, but instead sent someone to reprimand me for slandering my boss and removed me from the post of county lieutenant, I had no official position, I couldn't support my wife and children, so I wanted to go south, just at this time, my brother sent someone to summon me, but because I had not met with my brother before, I didn't know whether it was true or false, so I stayed in Hailing to watch, and then my brother sent someone to summon me, I believed in my brother's sincerity, And that Chen Rui has repeatedly sent people to sao to disturb me, Xuzhou has no place to stand, so I brought my wife and children to join my brother, and asked my brother not to be dull with his younger brother, and to give his younger brother a little work to support his family! β
Jin Liang laughed loudly and said: "Dinggong, with your talent, you are condescending to a county lieutenant, Tao Qian Lao'er is really old and faint and blind, in my opinion, as long as you display all your talents, discipline Tao Qian, Chen Qi, Chen Rui and others to bow down at your knees!" β
Lu Dai was shocked, although he felt that he had some talents, but he just felt that he could lead some people and govern a county, so that the world-famous Tao Qian and Chen Qi knelt down under his knees, he really didn't dare to be so delusional, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, the younger brother is self-aware, although he is talented, he is not outstanding, and he really doesn't dare to think about it." β
Jin Liang shook his head and said, "Dinggong, don't be arrogant!" Let me ask you, how many bandits and pirates are there in Guangling County? β
Lu Dai replied: "There are about 6,000 bandits, and about 5,000 pirates. β
Jin Liang asked, "If you are asked to command the army, how many men and horses can sweep them away?" β
Lu Dai said confidently: "The reason why these bandits and pirates are roaring across the sea is because they are lackeys raised by the Chen family and other big families, not only poisoning the local people, but also eliminating dissidents for these families, if that Tao Qian can stabilize those families for me, I have 2,000 men and horses on hand to sweep away these thieves, how can I be the captain of Hailing County, and the soldiers and horses under my command are often less than 500, so I can only trap the county and occasionally repel the small group of thieves who disturb the place." β
Jin Liang heard Lu Dai say this, then remembered Lu Dai's performance in history, Lu Dai avoided the chaos in the south at the end of the Han Dynasty, served under Sun Quan's account, first appointed Wu Cheng, and then promoted to Yuyao Chang, in Yuyao, Lu Dai recruited more than 1,000 strong men, organized into a strong army, with this army, cleaned up the rebellion of thieves in five counties such as Huiji and Dongye, and was named Zhaoxin Zhonglang General, and began his career as a horse in the south to conquer the south and expand the territory, and made great achievements for the Eastern Wu.
Jin Liang Jiaqizhi asked with a smile: "Dinggong, I don't know if you know about water warfare?" β
Lu Dai nodded confidently: "Hailing is close to the sea, the government has ten warships, went to sea three times, and killed more than 500 pirates. I knew that someone in the government must have sent a message to those pirates, so I secretly investigated, and finally learned that the person who reported the news was actually Chen Rui, the commander of Hailing County. After speaking, he sighed.
Jin Liang patted Lu Dai on the shoulder: "Dinggong, being abandoned by a dimwitted person like Tao Qian will give you the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, this is really your blessing, there is no need to sigh." Dinggong, now the captain of Bohai County, Qin Yi, has another call, I want you to take over the position of captain of Bohai County, command the Bohai Sea Division, sweep away all the pirates in Bohai Bay, and train an invincible navy of more than 10,000 people, I don't know if you have confidence?! β
Lu Dai was overjoyed and looked incredulous: "Lord, what you said is true!" At this moment, he very consciously changed the title of his brother to the lord, and Lu Fan, like him, also called Jin Liang the eldest brother in private conversations, and called the lord in official affairs.
Jin Liang nodded very solemnly: "I have long had this intention, I hope that Dinggong will take it seriously, and don't disappoint my hope!" β
Why Jin Liang had this intention for a long time, it is really because LΓΌ Dai is one of the few generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms who crossed the sea, when LΓΌ Dai was honored as the Jiaozhou assassin of Eastern Wu, when Jiaozhi was too shou Tuxie died, Sun Quan accepted LΓΌ Dai's suggestion to merge the north of Hepu into Guangzhou, LΓΌ Dai was the history of thorns, the south of Jiaozhi was Jiaozhou, and Dai Liang was the history of thorns. But Shi Xie's son Shi Hui signed himself on the one hand, and sent troops to refuse to be good. In this regard, Lu Dai tried his best to disagree with the public, personally led 3,000 sailors to "float in the sea in the morning and night", and suddenly approached the city of Jiaozhi, forcing Shihui to be captured. Immediately afterwards, LΓΌ Dai led the army to pacify Jiuzhen and sent Zhu Ying and Kang Tai to envoy to the countries of the South China Sea to "Xuanguoization of the South". Zhu Ying and Kang Tai experienced and rumored more than 100 countries, for the later generations of central Vietnam, Cambodia and the Nanyang Islands, the Nanyang countries deeply felt the prestige of the Han people, "Funan, Linyi...... Each king sent an envoy to pay tribute." Lu Dai's move is comparable to Ban Chao's envoy's visit to various countries in West Asia.
Jin Liang hoped that Lu Dai would do more brilliant things in the Bohai, East China and South China Seas than in history.
Lu Dai thought quietly for a while, and nodded calmly: "Lord, Lu Dai will never live up to your expectations!" It's just a sea-related battle, which takes a lot of time, and my wife and children at home can be taken care of by my father-in-law! β
Jin Liang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Xian, don't see outside, I am your eldest brother, it is reasonable to take care of my younger siblings and nephews, and besides, as the Lieutenant of Bohai County and the Governor of Bohai Sea Division, you are a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, and the court is rich, and all of them are distributed to your wife, which is enough to support your family, you don't need to worry." β
Lu Dai because of his humble background, not valued by the world, in the army for many years of repeated military exploits but only a small county lieutenant but because of offending the family magnates was removed from the official position, just when he was destitute and poor, was discovered by Jin Liang, not only cited as the same sect, but also awarded high-ranking officials, Lu Dai was grateful, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "The virtuous duke has the grace of re-living to Lu Dai, and the last general is willing to break his bones to repay the great kindness of the virtuous duke!" If you violate this oath, people and gods will abandon you! β
Jin Liang hurriedly got down from the red rabbit horse and helped Lu Dai up: "Dinggong, you are my brother, why do you need to be polite to me!" β
Lu Dai said solemnly: "On private as a brother, on public as a minister, no matter from public or private, Lu Dai is willing to die in the end!" β
Jin Liang nodded and smiled: "Dinggong, I am ready to hand over all the sea frontiers to you, and I hope you will practice more water warfare to share my worries." β
Lu Dai said with a smile: "That's my business, I just hope that the lord can crown me as General Fubo in the future!" β
Jin Liang laughed and said: "Dinggong, as long as you can pacify the Bohai Sea bandits, you can be awarded the Fubo Zhonglang General, as long as you can pacify the East China Sea Zhuyi, you can be awarded the Fubo General, as long as you can pacify the South China Sea countries, you can be awarded the Fubo General, the same as the three dukes." β
Lu Dai calmly promised: "My lord, the last general does not dare to say that he can pacify the East China Sea and the South China Sea in the future, as long as the lord gives me 2,000 men and horses, within a year, I will definitely turn the Bohai Sea into the sea of my central army!" β
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Dinggong, I will requisition 2,000 deep water 'sex' soldiers from the Central Army to you, and you will recruit 2,000 men and horses on the Bohai Sea to form 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, and then you will be in charge of the shipbuilding affairs of Bohai County, build more sea ships, and strive to sweep away the pirates in the Bohai Sea within a year, and at the same time wave troops to the south to occupy the Qingzhou Huanhai Islands, and wave the troops to the north to occupy the Liaodong Huanhai Islands, and then our Central Army will be able to march calmly from the sea!" β
Guo Jiace immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, don't talk about military aircraft affairs!" β
Jin Liang was suddenly shocked, if Gongsun Zhan and others knew their cross-sea strategy, they would be on guard now, and it would be more difficult for them to pacify Youzhou in the future, so they hurriedly glanced around, fortunately, there were flying tiger guards to escort them left and right, and the idle people and others all retreated on both sides, Jin Liang's voice was not high, and he should not have leaked his strategy yet, so he patted Guo Jia's shoulder with satisfaction: "Thanks to Fengxiao's reminder, from now on, I will never talk about military aircraft outside, so I will take this 'day' as a warning, Fengxiao, you will help me pay attention to it in the future!" β
Jin Liang then smiled and recommended to Lu Dai: "This is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, the governor of the Military Intelligence Department of the Military Affairs Academy, you will fight across the sea in the future, and you will rely on the soldiers under his command to pass on information to you!" Although Fengxiao is a different 'sex', but I am like-minded, I regard him as a brother, Dinggong, you should also regard him as a brother! It's up to you to get your intelligence in the future! β
Guo Jialang laughed and said: "This is my business, brother doesn't need to be polite!" β
Speaking of which. Guo Jia lowered his voice: "Brother Ding, I found out that some big families in Jizhou sold some weapons, iron tools, and grain to Wuhuan and other Hu people in Liaodong across the sea, and Brother Ding will be in charge of the Bohai Sea Division later, so you need to pay more attention!" β
Jin Liang remembered that Lu Dai said that the pirates on Hailing's side were lackeys raised by the Chen family, so he lowered his voice and said: "Dinggong, I want to develop and strengthen the Bohai Sea Division as soon as possible, in addition to exterminating those pirates. You can pretend to be pirates and plunder the ships of those great families, as well as the ships of Goguryeo and Japanese merchants! β
Lu Dai and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled: "Just follow the will of the lord!" β
Lu Fan had already arranged a mansion for Lu Dai, which was in the central castle, and a mansion near the general's mansion covered an area of several acres, with bright windows. Spacious and comfortable. When Xiao Jinkai entered the courtyard, he cheered: "Big house, we finally live in the big house!" β
Lu Dai looked at the dozen or so male and female servants standing in front of the mansion, and then looked at the spacious mansion, and couldn't help but choke up with emotion.
Jin Liang pulled Lu Dai's sleeve: "Dinggong, come and admire your house, if there is something you are not satisfied with, let's change it again!" β
Lu Dai said repeatedly: "Satisfied." Satisfied, very satisfied, I Lu Dai has never lived in such a big and clean room! β
Lu Fan smiled: "Brother Ding, guess how much this house sells for outside?" β
Lu Dai said: "It's worth at least a million dollars!" β
Lu Fan smiled lightly: "Ten million yuan, this is still the starting price!" β
Lu Dai was surprised: "It's so expensive!" β
Lu Fan said with a smile: "This house covers an area of several acres and has more than 30 rooms, but it is expensive not in size, but in location." Whoever owns this suite is a neighbor with General Zhengnan. General Zhengnan was the first person in the imperial army, and he had to carry him. It will definitely rise to the top, so those brothers of the family and those giants and wealthy businessmen have robbed their heads of this house, and the eldest brother doesn't take the money in his eyes, and wants to leave this house to you! β
In the cold winter of November, the cold wind did not make Lu Dai feel cold, but the warmth that he had never felt felt in Lu Dai's heart was unprecedented.
Jin Liang looked at Lu Dai with a grateful look, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Between you and my brothers, there is no need to be so polite, I just want you to live closer to me, so that my family can take care of my younger siblings and nephews." β
The more Jin Liang didn't let Lu Dai be grateful, the more he made Lu Dai grateful, if Jin Liang put on a face that gave favors and necessary returns, I am afraid that Lu Dai would not accept this house at all.
Lu Dai didn't know Jin Liang's scheming, and when he saw Jin Liang being so honest, he happily accepted this house.
The day after Lu Dai arrived in Xiangyang, under the leadership of Jin Liang, he got acquainted with all the bigwigs of the Military Affairs Institute and the middle and senior generals in the army, Jin Liang said solemnly: "This is my second brother Lu Dai, who is well versed in the art of war, especially good at water warfare, I am ready to let him lead the Bohai Sea Division, sweep away the Bohai Sea bandits, you must work together to help him, I hope that with your assistance, the Bohai Sea Division can quickly form combat effectiveness and dominate the Bohai Sea." β
Frustrated Zhi asked, "What about the original leader Qin Yi?" β
Jin Liang wrote lightly: "Qin Yi has another important task, he is about to go to Jiangdong, and when he comes back, if he has great merit, there will be another heavy reward." β
Jin Liang is not ready to publicize Qin Yi's trip to South America to find corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes for the time being, because Qin Yi is likely to fail and die in the sea.
Fu Zhi knew that Jin Liang had many secret things that were carried out by the Military Affairs Yuan, and Jin Liang was the lord, which was his prerogative, so Fu Zhi did not continue to ask.
With the cooperation of generals at all levels in the army, Lu Dai selected 2,000 soldiers from all over the army, one-third of whom grew up on the seashore and returned to the sea again.
On the third day after LΓΌ Dai arrived in Xiangyang, LΓΌ Chang, a Bowang man from Nanyang, Jingzhou, came to Xiangyang.
Jin Liang originally didn't have much impression of Lu Chang, he didn't think of conquering Lu Chang at all during the first round of expeditions, but Lu Chang's fellow villagers Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji learned that Jin Liang had the intention to expand the Jin clan into a big family, so they recommended Lu Chang.
The imperial physician Ling Zhang Ji Zhang Zhongjing was born in a big family and was well versed in literature and ink, so he was very literary in his letter of recommendation to Lu Chang: "Lu Chang, Jingzhou Nanyang Bowang is also a native of Tianzi and resolute, and his writing is very good, he is still diligent in martial arts, martial arts is not harmful, he is famous for his loyalty and bravery, he is committed to Bingrong, he is cautious in guarding the change, and the soldiers do not stop in the enemy country, and do not invade the neighbors." β
Jin Liang is only a rough understanding of writing and ink, and his ancient writing skills are not very deep, so he asked the secretary Ling Lu Cui to explain it to him, and Lu Cui smiled: "The meaning of the Taiyi Order is that Lu Chang is both civil and military, although his martial arts are powerful, he never causes trouble to the township, but uses his own force to defend the township from the invasion of thieves." β
Huang Zhong's reason for recommending LΓΌ Chang is very simple: "The lord, with LΓΌ Chang's ability and general, can lead a team of men and horses alone, and as an enemy of one party, as an official, he can govern the people of a county and make them live and work in peace and contentment." β
Jin Liang was reminded by Zhang Zhongjing and Huang Zhong, and remembered Lu Chang in a trance, in the romance, Lu Chang asked to go out of the city to challenge Guan Yu's army, Cao Ren gave him 2,000 soldiers, and let him go out of Fancheng to fight, but was defeated by Guan Yu, and led the remnants of the army to flee back to Fancheng.
In the official history, Lu Chang's military law is strict, the soldiers have no dissent, honest and frugal, and won the hearts of the people, from Liu Cong's surrender and Xiangyang to Cao Cao's ownership, until Lu Chang's death in the thirteen years, Jin Liang in this military stronghold of Sun and Liu's military prestige in Xiangyang, did thirteen years of Taishou, in these thirteen years, Guan Yu besieged Xiangyang, in vain, after retreating from Xiangyang, he was defeated and took Maicheng, and Sun Quan repeatedly sent troops to attack, all returned without work, and later Sun Quan knew that Lu Chang died of illness, and dared to send the general Chen Shao to occupy Xiangyang, it can be seen that Lu Chang's ability is extraordinary, Deeply scruples about Sun Quan.
After Jin Liang remembered Lu Chang, the Jin family who was overwhelmed by the romance, he hurriedly repaired a book, and took Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji's letter to Lu Chang, as well as a letter of appointment, and sent the scribes to Nanyang together.
Because Nanyang has been plagued by frequent wars since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Lu Chang recruited hundreds of young people from the township to form a militia group to gather people to protect themselves, but Lu Chang is a cold brother, and has been repeatedly bullied by the local family in Nanyang, especially since Yuan Shu took office as Nanyang Taishou, the tyrannical conquest made Lu Chang very disdainful, so he thought about leaving Nanyang and voting for the Ming Lord.
Lu Chang carefully read the letters of Jin Liang, Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing, and then looked at the letter of appointment, thinking of the domineering of the Nanyang family and the greed of Yuan Shu, he quickly made up his mind.
He took the letters of Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing to the township where Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing lived, gathered the clan villagers of Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing, read out the letters of Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing, and told them about the development of the two in the Xiangyang court.
LΓΌ Chang encouraged his clan and villagers again, scattered his family property, and recruited some homeless people in Nanyang, so that LΓΌ Chang took more than 2,000 people from Nanyang and went to Xiangyang.
Nanyang was too guarded by Yuan Shu and wanted to stop it, so Lu Chang presented Jin Liang's handwritten letter to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu did not dare to offend Jin Liang for the time being in order to avenge Yuan Kui's killing by Dong Zhuo, so he had to let him go.
LΓΌ often made a detour through Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Dongjun, and bypassed the territory of the Yanzhou Yellow Turban in an extremely thrilling way, crossed the frozen Yellow River, and arrived in Xiangyang.
When Lu Chang arrived in Xiangyang, he saw Jin Liang, Zhang Zhongjing, and Huang Zhong standing at the gate of the city waiting for him from a distance, and couldn't help but burst into tears. β
Jin Liang hurriedly helped Lu Chang up: "Today's 'day' is not the gift of monarchs and ministers, only the friendship of brothers!" (To be continued.) )
