Chapter 145 Rare leisure
In mid-July, outside Puyang City, the brigade was getting ready to go.
"Brother Lu doesn't ride a horse?"
Lu Ren got into the car and said sullenly: "Don't ride!" It's more comfortable to sit in the car. ”
Cao Ang looked at Lu Ren's stinky face, but he was also dumbfounded in his heart. In fact, it's no wonder that Lu Ren's face is so ugly, you said that after being busy for more than half a year, it was finally time for the autumn grain to enter the warehouse one after another, and Lu Ren, who had been in charge of all the things in Tuntian, was still thinking that he could finally be idle and live a small life, but unexpectedly, Xun Yu sent another order to Lu Ren and Cao Ang to lead the team and escort a batch of grain and grass to Luoyang.
In addition to the order on the surface, Xun Yu also had another secret order to Lu Ren, which roughly meant that Lu Ren should go slower, and not rush to send this batch of grain to Luoyang because he was in a hurry to complete the task.
Lu Ren is a person who knows the inside story, and when he looks at the much southerly marching route on the road map sent by Xun Yu, he immediately understands that this batch of grain is ostensibly ready to be sent to Luoyang, but in fact the destination to be delivered is Xuxian, which is later Xuchang.
It's just that this kind of thing with Emperor Han Xian's relocation of the capital is too sensitive, and Cao Cao, who is now in Luoyang, still has to talk to Emperor Han Xian and those officials, after all, Cao Cao's political strategy is to welcome rather than hijack, if Emperor Han Xian comes hard, won't he become the second Dong Zhuo? That would be tantamount to giving the other candidates a reasonable excuse to send troops to attack them. With Cao Cao's cleverness, how could he make such a mistake?
But it will definitely take time to fight with Emperor Han Xian and those sub-officials, and of course Cao Cao still has to do things on the surface here, and it is precisely because of this that the task of escorting grain and grass will fall on Lu Ren. Because Lu Ren had discussed with Xun Yu long before going to Puyang Tuntian, in order to show off his stinky fart, Lu Ren also said to Xun Yu that Luoyang did not meet his requirements.
In this way, of course, Xun Yu will think that this transportation, knowing that there is no other useful meaning in it, Lu Ren is the most suitable person, if it is replaced by Xia Houdun or Han Hao, who does not understand the other meaning of this transportation, and has a anxious temperament, believe it or not, they will quickly send this batch of grain and grass directly to Luoyang.
Of course, Lu Ren quickly figured out what was going on, but he could only secretly blame himself in his heart for what he was doing with so many mouths? It's all going back and forth, but I'm still tired of myself! But the order was issued, and it couldn't be carried out, so this face would stink so ugly.
And at this moment, Cao Ang saw that Lu Ren's face was so ugly, and he couldn't help but joke to Lu Ren: "Why is Brother Lu so angry?" ”
Lu Ren can't talk to Cao Angming for the time being, and he can only find other excuses for now: "You said that I am a civil official, and I can't bring soldiers or fight, why do you want me to do this thing of escorting grain and grass?" ”
Cao Ang looked around and said with a smile: "But Brother Lu, you have prestige!" With you, you can control the crowd. ”
That's the truth. Lu Ren's success in Puyang Tuntian this time has a high evaluation among the people of Puyang, and the porters in the team transporting grain and grass this time are all recruited in Puyang, and Lu Ren's name can completely suppress them.
Lu Ren shrugged helplessly: "It's almost the same, right?" Depart, you lead the team on horseback, and I sleep in the car for a while. ”
Cao Ang said dumbly: "Brother Lu, are you too ......?"
Lu Ren fell into the car and lay down, and said angrily: "You don't want to think about my situation?" For most of the past six months, I have been as tired as a dog, and I finally thought that I could take a break, so I was asked to do this errand...... Originally, in this crisp autumn season, I also planned to take Wan'er to go to Qingqing, but now this plan is in the soup. ”
Cao Ang said: "It's a pity, I also want to go hunting with Brother Lu and Little Sister (referring to Wan'er) at this season, and then eat game and drink wine on the green grass, and then listen to Brother Lu and Little Sister's music, how comfortable it should be?" Forget it, let's talk about it next spring. ”
What else can Lu Ren do now besides nodding helplessly?
————————————————————
At that time, the sending team was already walking very slowly, and Lu Ren walked even slower here because of Xun Yu's secret instructions, and it took ten days to arrive at Qingheji. The road from Puyang to Qingheji is only about 100 kilometers, and it is only about 200 miles when converted into the Han system, which shows how slow Lu Ren's transport team went. This is also fortunate that Xun Yu thought it through, and did not let Xia Houdun or Han Hao go with Lu Ren, but let Cao Ang, who was relatively convinced of Lu Ren, and Lu Ren transport it together, otherwise it would be slow to this extent, depending on Xia Houdun or Han Hao's temper, I am afraid that I would have quarreled with Lu Ren a long time ago.
The purpose of going to Qingheji is, of course, to cross the river, and then go to Luoyang through a relatively flat and easy-to-walk road. Of course, this is only a superficial thing, and the so-called easy road is actually one that can go to Xu County at any time by turning around. And so many people, horses, grain and grass have to cross the river, and it is indispensable to prepare a large number of ferries, so Lu Ren found an excuse to let this team delay here in Qingheji for an extra day or two.
Here was busy looking for a boat to cross the river, but Lu Ren lazily sat on the bank of the river. Looking at the flowing river, Lu Ren remembered some of the things that happened after he escaped from Puyang, and took out the bamboo flute with emotion, and played the song "White River Cold Autumn" against the river.
After the song was played, Lu Ren glanced at Cao Ang next to him, and hesitated for a while before asking Cao Ang, "Zixiu, when will our grain team be able to completely cross the river?" ”
Cao Ang pondered for a moment and responded: "There are few ships, and according to the current state, it may take two days to travel." ”
"Two days?"
Lu Ren nodded, and after thinking about it secretly, he said: "Qingheji is not far from Chen Liu, I want to visit one of my old people, Zixiu, you are here to take care of it first, I will definitely rush back within two days." ”
"Brother Lu's deceased?" Cao Ang rolled his eyes and understood, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu wants to visit Miss Cai, right?" ”
Lu Ren smiled dryly, which was considered to be an admission.
Of course, Cao Ang had long known about Lu Ren's experience of "serving Cai Yong", and now Lu Ren took the time to visit Cai Yong's descendants, so it was reasonable to say that he would naturally not stop him, and he deliberately transferred fifty horsemen to Lu Ren to accompany him. In addition, after all, Cai Yong's name is too famous, so Cao Ang prepared some other gifts for Lu Ren to deliver on his behalf, which can be regarded as an expression of respect.
In fact, Lu Ren was also a little uncertain in the past this time, because before he left Cai Yan, he had specially told Cai Fu some inside information, hoping that Cai Yan could move to another place. And after that, because he was too busy all the time, he couldn't come to Cai Yan to have a look, and the communication in ancient times was too bad, and there was no one around Lu Ren, so it was really inconvenient to inquire about Cai Yan's affairs here, so now I don't know if Cai Yan still lives in the place at that time.
However, this kind of thing can be found by asking someone casually on the road, so soon Lu Ren learned that Cai Yan had not moved at all, and was still living in the cottage by the river. He won't be empty this time, and Lu Ren couldn't help but think about other things, just to try to see if he could persuade Cai Yan to move.
But for this matter, Lu Ren just thinks about it. Anyway, he had some dealings with Cai Yan at the beginning, and he knew that the character of a woman like Cai Yan was tough and firm to say nicely, but the stone in a pit was smelly and hard. If you really meet you, God knows if you can listen to your persuasion here. And now that he has a bit of an identity, Cai Yan will meet with him for the sake of face. If it is still the same as before, it is a question whether Cai Yan will see him.
There is not much way from Qinghe to Chen Liuzhen, and Lu Ren and his party can arrive without half a day. However, Lu Ren came a little unlucky, Cai Yan was not in the village, but went to Chen Liucheng to participate in the autumn festival in the clan. The ancients have always attached great importance to major clan sacrifices, and even if Cai Yan is not in agreement with the people in the clan, this kind of sacrifice must be participated, so Lu Ren's coming over this time was empty, and a lot of words prepared in his stomach were useless.
The gifts Lu Ren brought were handed over to the old housekeeper Cai Fu, and after a few more polite words, Lu Ren had to rush back, after all, what happened to him was the right thing. Before leaving, Lu Ren originally wanted to give Cai Fu a few more words of advice, and Cai Fu would tell Cai Yan again, but if you think about it carefully, one is that Cai Yan may not be able to listen, and the other is ...... Cao Cao's current actions are at least two months faster than the original historical process, and he should have gone to Luoyang in July, but now he has stayed in Luoyang, so Yang Feng may not be able to bring the Xiongnu soldiers over and then use this to rob Cao Cao for the emperor like the original history.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Lu Ren is also powerless about Cai Yan's affairs here. People don't want to move with you to other places, is it possible that you Lu Ren can still force Cai Yan to go with you? How old are you, Lu Ren? Yes, Lu Ren can mobilize some troops now, and he can snatch Cai Yan over, but the question is that if Lu Ren's order goes down, who the hell will take care of you? If the Hun soldiers didn't come to Chen Liu, wouldn't Lu Ren become a bully of men and women? And it's a famous girl who robbed it! Then Lu Ren will not be confused in the future.
In short, this incident is really similar to Lu Ren's own time, when he encountered an old man on the road and fell to the ground. If you don't save it, you can't say it in your heart; But if you save it, you have to worry about whether you will be given "porcelain" by the other party. And the choices that modern people will make in this situation, I will not say much here.
"Well, forget it. Perhaps because of the changes brought about by my appearance, Cai Yan was able to escape this catastrophe and would not be exiled to the north...... In fact, if you think about it carefully, Cai Yan will become famous, isn't it because of her suffering? If there were no such sufferings, would Cai Yan have left this mark in history? Or, maybe, maybe, I should leave her alone? But if that's the case, I still think it's a pity......"
(Ugh!) When I arrived at the Internet café, I found that 146 was not thrown into the USB flash drive! Tomorrow, the bottle doesn't want to go back to the company at this time, and it won't be able to get in. )
