Chapter 39: Du Jin's Crisis

Coming out of Lu Su's mansion, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Through contact with Lü Su, he found that Lü Guang had begun to cultivate the power of the Lü family, and the children of the Lü family, such as Lü Su and Lü Fu, were successively entrusted by Lü Guang with important tasks to participate in political affairs and military affairs.

and then gradually replaced the Western Expedition Hero Group, which had a strong tail, but in this way, the contradiction between Lü Guang and the Western Expedition Hero Group became more and more acute.

Thinking of this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but worry about the safety of his teacher again.

In history, the landmark event of the first fierce conflict between Lü Guang and the Western Expedition Hero Group was the killing of Du Jin!

With the killing of Du Jin, the contradiction between Lü Guang and the Western Expedition Heroes Group became public, and it was no longer irreconcilable!

Immediately afterwards, two civil strife broke out, Peng Huang's rebellion and Duan Ye's self-reliance, and finally the Western Expedition Hero Group completely withdrew from the historical stage.

In this conflict of infighting, no side is a winner.

Lü Guang certainly succeeded in suppressing the Western Expedition Heroes Group and fostered the Lu family clan to replace it.

However, the Lu clan forces did not play a role as a mainstay in Hou Liang, but because Lu Guang died of illness, there was no longer a strong figure in the Lu clan forces to coerce all parties, and then a more intense civil strife broke out, so that Hou Liang finally disappeared.

Wei Shuo didn't care about the Lu family's life or death, but he couldn't help but consider Du Jin.

In any case, Du Jin carefully taught him martial arts and the art of war, which was a great kindness to him.

If you don't know the inside story, it's fine, but with the inside story, Wei Shuo can't watch Du Jin be killed no matter what! What's more, Du Jin is still a rare talent, and he will find ways to save the other party in public and private.

Before he knew it, Wei Shuo had returned to Du's mansion and handed over his mount to his subordinates, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Master Du Jin sitting there waiting for him to return.

Wei Shuo's heart warmed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's so late, why didn't Master go to rest?" ”

"After you left, the teacher couldn't rest assured, he couldn't sleep, so he just sat here and waited for you to come back."

"Master's kindness to his apprentices is higher than the sky, I really don't know how to repay Master in the future." Wei Shuo said with feelings.

"Nonsense! You are the only disciple accepted by the old man, if I am not good to you, who can I be good to? Besides, the old man is still counting on Zhiyuan to inherit the mantle of the old man and kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Du Jin deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "What did you gain from visiting Lu Su's Mansion today?" ”

"Lu Su wanted to win me over for his use, and the apprentice casually agreed on a whim."

Du Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What?!" You, you...... How can such a big decision be made hastily? ”

"Is this a big deal? Master, you filter! In Xiayuan Gaochang, no one will be able to point fingers at a certain person in the future. The apprentice promised to commit himself to Lu Su's command, but it was just a name. Lu Su needs to use his apprentice to strengthen his momentum, and the apprentice also needs to use Lu Su's tiger skin to dispel some greedy people, and both sides take what they need, which can be regarded as a deal that you are willing to make. ”

"Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, you, you, what are you good for the teacher to say? You haven't always prided yourself on being wise, why did you crash headlong into the whirlpool this time? Du Jin was a little angry, and he didn't argue.

"Vortex? What's the whirlpool? Wei Shuo continued to pretend to be stupid and asked.

"Alas! Anyway, the old man won't hide it, and will tell you about the recent changes in the internal situation in Liangzhou. ”

Seeing that Du Jin was silent for a long time and finally planned to open his heart to himself, Wei Shuo couldn't help but secretly rejoice, because this was exactly the opportunity he had always dreamed of.

On the way back, Wei Shuo has been thinking about how to keep Du Jin, but after thinking about it, it is not good to explain this matter directly to Du Jin, otherwise not only may he not be able to save Du Jin, but it may also damage the relationship between the two.

Therefore, after coming back, Wei Shuo has been pretending to be stupid in front of Du Jin, the purpose of which is to provoke Du Jin to take the initiative to find out.

Because Wei Shuo never believed in the problems he could see, with Du Jin's ingenuity, how could he not see the crisis in front of him?

"If you really want to talk about this matter, you have to start from the time when the Western Expeditionary Army was formed, when the Governor, Peng Huang, Jiang Fei, Kang Sheng and a certain five people, as the highest-ranking generals of the Western Expeditionary Army, each had their own force in the Western Expeditionary Army."

"Originally, this was nothing, because this is a long-standing tradition, and the general's expedition must be accompanied by his henchmen, otherwise how can he win the battle? But things have changed since the Governor captured Liangzhou, and the relationship between the Governor and us has changed from ordinary superiors and subordinates to lords and vassals. ”

"In the past, the Governor was able to tolerate the existence of our forces, but now, as the Lu clan has migrated in batches, gathered in Liangzhou, and quickly transformed into a powerful political force, the Western Expeditionary Army Group has gradually changed from a hero who helped the Governor capture Liangzhou to a stumbling block and roadblock that hinders the children of the Lu family's relatives from ascending to the throne."

"It turns out that Master knows everything! So why don't you try to find a way out for yourself? ”

"Do you think the old man doesn't want to? It's just that it's come to this point, and I can't help myself. As a teacher, he is not alone, and there are a large number of followers behind him, and he can't just retire if he says quit. ”

"Then you can't just sit still! If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your family? In the future, once the master has three longs and two shorts, what will they do in the future? ”

"As a teacher, he was first favored by His Majesty, and then he was reused by the governor, and he could not do anything that violated his loyalty. As for the family......"

Speaking of this, Du Jin glanced at Wei Shuo with relief and said: "The old man is very glad that he accepted Zhiyuan as an apprentice at the beginning, so that he doesn't even know who his family members entrust today. With Naoyuan here, the old man believes that they will live well. ”

"Is it irreparable?" Wei Shuo asked unwillingly.

"Zhiyuan is far away in Gaochang, and he doesn't know the reality of Liangzhou, and now the governor is promoting the children of the Lu family, and once the time is ripe, he will move towards the Western Hero Group. As the head of the heroes, and the general of the Western Expeditionary Army second only to the Governor, how can he be spared under the brunt of the attack? ”

"How about Master learning from General Peng Huang's outer town?"

"Hehe, the governor may be relieved that Peng Huang, Kang Sheng, Jiang Fei and any of them are away from Guzang, but he will never allow the old man to leave his sight, unless there is an existential crisis in Liangzhou."

"But these don't seem to have anything to do with me and Lu Su, right?"

"You, you, you're still too young. You said that the Governor solved the Western Expedition Hero Group, and the Lu clan forces that benefited next can still live in harmony like now? ”

"Naturally not!"

"That's right! None of the governor's children are in peace, and Lü Fu and Lü Su are all ambitious, and they all want to replace Lü Shao as Lü Guang's heir, and fierce conflicts will inevitably break out in the future. You are a small county lieutenant, why don't you hide in Gaochang and enjoy happiness, and get involved in the dispute between the concubines? ”

Wei Shuo pursed his lips and smiled: "Master, you are too sensitive, this is still a distant matter, don't be too anxious." But now he should plan for the master, no matter what, the apprentice can't sit back and watch the master die. ”

"Forget it, you have to make up your mind. No wonder Yang Taishou always said that you are not like a young man, from the perspective of acting and thinking about problems, you are completely a weathered and wise man. ”

"Hehe, this is all taught by Master and Yang Taishou!"

In the following days, Wei Shuo was introduced and introduced by Lu Su and Du Jin, and had a close contact with the high-level leaders of Liangzhou. Among them, there are not only Kang Sheng, Jiang Fei and other Western Expedition heroes, but also Lu Su, Lu Fu, Lu Long and other Lu family relatives and nobles.

In less than a year, since the Guanzhong Funeral Rebellion last year, the people of the Lu clan have migrated in batches and gathered in Liangzhou, and quickly transformed into a powerful political force, becoming another important political and military force under the command of Lu Guang after the power of the Western Expedition Meritorious Hero Group.

Among them, Lu Fu looked at Wei Shuo thoughtfully, it turned out that Lu Fu was different from Lu Su, he did not focus on the eye-catching military power, but deliberately sought to get out of the town.

In particular, some remote counties such as Dunhuang and Gaochang far away from Guzang believed that they were the best places to cultivate private power.

Now seeing the close relationship between the governor of Gaochang County and Lu Su, Lu Fu will inevitably think more in his heart.

However, Wei Shuo is not an ordinary person after all, even if he does not mention the identity of Du Jin's apprentice, Gao Chang Duwei alone will make outsiders fearful.
