Sensing the instability of the western counties of Liangzhou, after thinking about it, Lu Guang had to ask Du to enter and leave the mountain again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the No. 2 person in the Western Expeditionary Army, Du Jin's prestige in the army is second only to Lü Guang, and he will be able to deter the local juniors by sitting in Dunhuang.

Even if someone raised an army to rebel, Du Jin could rely on his prestige to quickly quell it, so as not to cause the rebellion to rot the place.

However, now Lu Guang no longer trusts the heroes of the Western Expedition.

Therefore, in order to monitor Du Jin, Lü Guang sent his son Lü Fu to go west with Du Jin.

At the beginning of October, there was a personnel change from Guzang that shocked all parties: following the example of the former Liang, the Shazhou Thorn History Department was placed.

The former aunt Zang Taishou Du Jin was transferred to the history of Shazhou Assassin and sat in Dunhuang; Lu Fu served as the guardian of Yumen Pass, guarding Yumen Pass; Wei Shuo, the former commander of Gaochang, also served as the protector of the Western Regions.

From this appointment, it can be seen that Lü Guang hoped that Du Jin would help him stabilize the western counties of Hexi, so that he could spare his energy to focus on solving the threat to the south first.

However, Lü Guang was worried that Du Jin's master and apprentice would collude together, so he ordered his son Lü Fu to sit in Yumen Pass and get stuck between Dunhuang and Gaochang, just in case.

As for the promotion of Wei Shuo to the protector of the capital, it is just a means of wooing and appeasing.

Because before this, Wei Shuo had already obtained the military power west of the Governor Yumen Pass, and it didn't matter whether he had the title of Grand Protector or not.

In mid-October, after receiving the appointment, Wei Shuo rushed to Dunhuang to meet his teacher Du Jin.

According to the regulations, Shazhou has jurisdiction over the three counties of Gaochang, Dunhuang and Jinchang, and Du Jin became the history of Shazhou Thorn, so he naturally became Wei Shuo's veritable boss.

When crossing the Yumen Pass, Wei Shuo met the new Yumen Pass protector Lu Fu.

It wasn't the first time the two had met, so they chatted very familiarly.

Lu Fu knew very well that the new protector of the Western Regions in front of him, who was younger than himself, was by no means an ordinary person.

Before coming, his father Lu Guangke told him to appease this person so that he could not collude with the rebellion in Liangzhou.

Otherwise, Du Jin, who has long been abandoned, why would he rise again?

"When I was in Guzang that day, I met with Daduhu in a hurry, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet again at this jade gate today."

"Lu Hujun is polite, the general sits in Xiongguan and holds important positions, which shows that he is deeply valued by the governor, and he will be a Pengcheng in the future."

"Hahaha, borrow most of the auspicious words." After speaking, Lu Fu raised his wine glass and saluted Wei Shuo, and then drank it all.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. After the two had finished greetings, the conversation gradually got to the point.

Putting down the wine in his hand, Wei Shuo asked softly: "I don't know why Lu Hujun invited Wei Mou?" ”

"Most of the capital protects the west of the town, and I know that the western part of Liangzhou is quite unstable today, and some ambitious people are trying to subvert the foundation of my Lu family. My father couldn't rest assured, so he sent General Du to sit in Dunhuang. ”

"Before coming, my father said to Zai Xia repeatedly: 'General Du's master and apprentice are not ordinary people, and you should rely on the two of them after you take office, so that the Western Regions can be determined and Hexi is worry-free.' ”

"Since I was taught by my father, I naturally didn't dare to slack off."

"Today, I learned that Wei Duhu passed by Yumen Pass and wanted to go to Dunhuang, so I ordered to take in the Guan Xiaoxiao, and when I saw Wei Duhu, I must stop it immediately, and then report to the next."

"I really don't mean anything else, just to pay respect."

"Oh, Lord Protector is too polite, Shuo Yijie Hanmen Shu clan, where can I afford you such courtesy."

"If you can afford it, you can afford it, Lord Metropolitan Protector shoulders the heavy burden of guarding the Western Regions, and the matter of maintaining the stability of the Western Regions in the future can be entrusted to Lord Metropolitan Protector."

"Please tell the governor that the matter of the Western Regions will be handed over to Shuo, and the changes in the Western Regions will not affect the stability of Liangzhou."

In order to paralyze the Lu family, Wei Shuo vaguely told Lu Fu that his future focus would be in the Western Regions, and he would not have time to take care of Liangzhou for the time being.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, in short, Lu Fu is very happy to hear it.

In fact, what Lu Guang and Lu Fu father and son were most worried about was that Wei Shuo would enter the Yumen Pass in the east and join forces with his master Du Jin.

Once this happens, it means that the western part of Liangzhou will be completely out of control.

……

After separating from Lü Fu, Wei Shuo rode all the way east, and finally met the new Shazhou Thorn Shi Du Jin in Dunhuang City.

"Master, I didn't expect you to really jump out of that fire pit in Guzang."

Originally, Wei Shuo was worried about Du Jin's fate, but he didn't expect that under the influence of the butterfly effect, Du Jin's fate was deflected.

When he heard this, Du Jindeng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said with a tiger face: "Nonsense! What is Guzang a fire pit? This is not good for outsiders to hear. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, in vain."

"But Master, the apprentice really can't understand, Lord Du has not always watched you very closely, why is he willing to let you out of the mountain this time?"

"Ugh." Du Jin let out a long sigh, his face darkened slightly, and it took a long time before he explained in a low mood.

"Zhiyuan doesn't know, speaking of which, if you can leave Guzang as a teacher, it will still be stained with your light to some extent."

"What kind of light is the apprentice?"

"After the news of the annexation of Wusun reached Guzang, the governor knew that you had become bigger, and not only scolded Lu Su, but also called the teacher to reprimand him fiercely."

"said that he was blind for the teacher, and he actually accepted a white-eyed wolf as an apprentice, and even said in front of the teacher, I knew that I shouldn't have let you go back to Gaochang in the first place."

"I was not angry with the teacher, and I casually argued with the governor, but I didn't expect it to make the governor angry."

"If it weren't for the fact that the old rival Wei You happened to be not in Guzang, otherwise if he provoked a few words from it, maybe he would have died as a teacher by now."

Later, when the governor learned that Zhangye Peng Huang, Jiuquan Wang Mu, Xiping Kangning, and the general Xu Jiong were colluding, he knew that Liangzhou would face a great crisis. In order to prevent Naoyuan from joining the rebellion in the name of fighting grievances for his division, the governor had to make a gesture of reusing his teacher as a teacher. ”

"At the same time, the governor also hopes to use the prestige of my Du someone to deter traitors from all over the world, and this is the history of sandbank assassination."

"I see, no wonder when the disciples passed by the Yumen Pass, Lu Fu was polite to me, it turned out that he was trying to appease me."

"It's not exactly to win over and appease, Lu Fu is sitting in Yumen Pass, and the most important duty is to monitor you and my master and apprentice, and prevent our master and apprentice from joining forces."

"Hehe, if our master and apprentice want to join forces, how can a mere jade gate pass be blocked?" Wei Shuo said disdainfully.

"Let's not talk about these things first, I only ask you one thing, if there is a change in Dunhuang, how many soldiers and horses can Gaochang be transferred to enter the customs?"

"What? Will there really be a rebellion in Dunhuang? Wei Shuo deliberately pretended to be puzzled.

"Well, if you say the following, the master will dare to tell Zhiyuan, and if you change someone else as a teacher, you will never say a word."

"When the division passed through Zhangye City before, General Peng Huang, who was too guarded by Zhangye, once recruited the division to join him, but was sternly rejected by the division."

"Peng Huang privately told the master that this time he was not the only one who opposed the governor, but also Xiping Taishou Kangning, Changshui Captain Wang Mu and others also planned to raise troops, plus Lu Shuihu, Qiang, Xianbei and other Hu tribes, this rebellion is likely to sweep the entire Liangzhou."

"Shhh How could so many people rebel? ”

"Alas, it is still the fault of the governor, since the children of the Lu family have rushed to Guzang one after another, the intention of the governor to weaken the authority of the heroes of the Western Expedition has become more and more obvious. Most of the main forces involved in the rebellion this time came from the Western Expedition Heroes Group. ”

"Among the four generals who followed the governor to conquer the Western Regions, only Weishi and General Jiang Fei are still supporting the governor, and others such as Peng Huang and Kang Sheng have joined the rebellion."

Knowing these inside information, Wei Shuo's heart was extremely excited, but he could only suppress the joy in his heart, and pretended to be worried: "In this way, isn't Liangzhou in danger?" ”

"Isn't it? Gu Zang is a little better, with the governor himself in charge, plus the main force of the Liangzhou army is there, there will be no danger for a while. Only the sandbar garrisoned by the division, although it has jurisdiction over the land of three counties, the total number of combatable soldiers is less than 5,000. ”

"Most of the soldiers and horses under the command of the division stayed in Guzang, once the rebels invaded Dunhuang, they could only hope for reinforcements from the outside world, and the only hope for the division at the moment was the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhiyuan."

Wei Shuo was not surprised at all about Lu Guang's deduction of Du Jin's subordinates, but it would be strange if he didn't deduct it.

Du Jin, who took office almost alone, was feared by Lu Guang, and if he was allowed to take office with his troops again, he would have to send many men to his son Lu Fu to play a monitoring role.

"Please rest assured, as long as the master gives an order, the apprentice will definitely go to the soup, but Lu Hujun's side ......"

"There is no need to worry about this, and then you will have your own teacher to mediate it."
