Chapter 21 Go to Liaodong in person, goodbye Lu Yu
Tian Jing opened Lu Yu's letter and felt very strange. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't say anything in every letter, but just wrote to Tian Jing about what Lu Yu had seen and heard after he arrived in Liaodong and his recent situation.
Tian Jing did not reply to the letter, and he insisted on writing a letter for several months, and continued to send people to send it. If Lu Yu and Tian Jing have a very good relationship, then this seems to be understandable, but Tian Jing and he are not familiar with him, and they have only met twice, which is very strange.
Tian Jing read the letter carefully again, and suddenly felt that he understood something. He gave the letter to his father and showed him it, believing that with his father's cleverness, he should have seen what he could see.
Tian Chou asked a few questions while watching, "This Lu Yu is the son of Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhong Lang back then?" ”
Tian Jing replied yes.
"How many times has he met you?" Tian Chou asked again.
Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "Twice, once when he was captured on the battlefield, he persuaded me and Zhao Yun to abandon the Luhe camp and retreat south; Once, we snatched the Wuhuan horse near Xu Wushan and saved his life from the Wuhuan people. ”
Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "This letter has revealed enough information, but he still needs to ask what he really thinks." You might as well reply to a letter, I'm done arranging for your sixth uncle to take someone to Liaodong. ”
Tian Jing said, "I think about this matter, and I can only know his true thoughts by saying it to my face." If it's just a letter, I'm afraid it won't work. And I heard that there is good ginseng in Liaodong, which is very good for my mother's body. I stayed at home for a few days, and then I went to Liaodong in a few days. ”
Tian Chou thought about it, and Tian Jing's consideration also made sense. It's just that if you want to go to Liaodong, you have to pass through the territory of Badun, and the safety along the way still needs to be paid attention to. Tian Chou arranged to let people know about the recent movements of Liaoxi Wuhuan first.
Tian Jing stayed in Xu Wu Cottage for a few days, said goodbye to his parents, and took a few cronies to disguise themselves as mountain people hunting and collecting medicine, and entered the territory of Wuhuan in western Liaoxi separately. Liaoxi Wuhuan defended Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses tightly, but he didn't care much about ordinary mountain people.
They passed through Liaoxi safely and passed through the narrow Liaoxi Corridor. There are no troops in this area, and although there is no contract, no one wants to break the balance. For Gongsun Du, the barrier of Wuhuan in Liaoxi could give him a good reason to ignore the call of the imperial court, so as to divide one party and claim hegemony. For Badun, Liaodong, which is more remote than Liaoxi, is not his goal, and the Huahua World in the Central Plains is what he wants, so he has to lead his troops to attack west.
Tian Jing arrived in Yangle County, Liaoxi County, which was the westernmost part of the area actually controlled by Gongsun Du. After Tian Jing arrived in Yangle County, he found an inn to live in. changed his clothes and asked people to go to the county office to find the county lieutenant Xu Liang.
After a while, the person came back and said that the county seat had received the letter, and that he would arrive later. As he was talking, it was Xu Liang who arrived at the inn with his front and back feet.
Xu Liang didn't speak when he came in, but just looked Tian Jing up and down.
Tian Jing saw that Xu Liang didn't speak, so he had to speak by himself, "I have an old friend called Lu Yu, he asked me to come to Liaodong to find him, and said in the letter that if I go to Yangle, I can find the county lieutenant Xu first, so I bothered rashly, and I hope that the county lieutenant Xu will not be blamed." ”
Xu Liang said thoughtlessly, "This person has an average appearance and a mediocre bearing, where can you see the posture of a dragon and a phoenix." I don't know if Lu Gongzi looked away this time. ”
Tian Jing was even more inexplicable after hearing it.
This Xu Liang put down Tongguan's seal, turned around and left, and didn't even say hello.
Tian Jing felt that this person was weird, and he didn't care about him. After taking the seal letter and the servants, he packed up his clothes and continued to travel east disguised as a merchant. To the east is the territory of Liaodong, and the commander of Shu is Gongsun Gong, the son of Gongsun Du. The eldest son, Gongsun Kang, as the heir of Gongsun Du, led the post of Zhongliao County Shou.
After the subject country of Liaodong, further east is the Zhongliao County of Gongsun Du, and the county is governed in Xiangping. Tian Jing and others successfully arrived in Xiangping, only to find that the prosperity of Xiangping was far beyond their imagination. Whether it is the population, the size of the city, or the prosperity of commerce, it is much better than that of Yijing and Jixian. However, this is not how well Gongsun Du governs, the key is that the Central Plains is still in turmoil, and many people fled to Liaodong to avoid chaos, which achieved the prosperity of Xiangping.
When Tian Jing arrived in Xiangping, he first found a place to live, and then asked people to inquire about the residence of Dian County Shuzuo Lu Yu. In the evening, Tian Jing took the gift and visited the door in person.
When the housekeeper reported to Lu Yu that a person claiming to be Tian Jing had come to ask for a meeting, Lu Yu was taken aback at first. Because he wrote letters to Tian Jing for two consecutive years, he never got a reply. But immediately he calmed down again, because many of his preparations were waiting for the day when Tian Jing came, and since he came, he naturally had to face it.
Lu Yu personally opened the door and went out to greet him, and when he saw Tian Jing, he gave a deep salute, "Engong is above, please accept Lu Yu's worship." ”
Tian Jing hurriedly stopped, "Where does the virtuous brother come from, we are equal and sympathetic." At that time, when he saw the virtuous brother Ling Ran on the battlefield, he had a sense of intimacy. Later, by chance, I saved my brother again, and I know that your life experience is after being loyal and good. I haven't had the opportunity to contact my brother because I can't get out of the war, and we should be close to each other when we come today. If you're going to be so polite, I don't know what to do. ”
Seeing Tian Jing like this, Lu Yu's heart was a little more relaxed, "Since that's the case, then let's talk in the hall, Brother Tian, please." ”
Tian Jing entered the room and sat down with the guests, and the two chatted some gossip before they got to the point.
Tian Jing asked, "Brother Xian wrote five letters, and I received them all, and I came here to ask Brother Xian what he thought. ”
Lu Yu didn't answer, but asked, "I want to ask first, what is my brother's position in Youzhou's official residence now, and how many soldiers and horses are directly controlled." ”
Tian Jing smiled, "By the way, I haven't told you about the current situation yet." Now that I have broken away from Youzhou, I am now the official general of the imperial court to conquer the north, and there are two counties in the Hedong Army, with 10,000 horses. ”
After hearing this, Lu Yu first congratulated Tian Jing, and then a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, and said, "I don't want my brother to have such a development in a short period of time, congratulations." But since this is the case, my brother's ambition is not in Youzhou, so it seems that there is no possibility for us to cooperate. ”
Tian Jing smiled, "Why did Brother Xian come to conclusions so early, you must know that the world is changing, and many seemingly impossible things may be possible if a variable appears." What does Brother Xian think of the situation in Youzhou? ”
"Gongsun Zhan is desperate and will be defeated sooner or later, so I planned all the work in Liaodong for my brother." Lu Yu said.
Tian Jing asked again, "What does that virtuous brother think of Yuan Shao?" ”
"I don't know this, but from Liu He's matter, Yuan Shao is not the master, mean and unkind, forgetting righteousness for profit, only caring about small profits and ignoring the overall situation, if I expect it to be good, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to have great achievements." Lu Yu said.
Tian Jing said with a smile, "In this case, Youzhou Gongsun Chan will be defeated sooner or later, and Jizhou Yuan Shao will not last, so why can't I pass through Liaodong?" ”
Lu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, "I don't want my brother to have such ambitions, then it seems that major events in Liaodong can be expected!" ”
Tian Jing asked, "I have a question, you originally came to Liaodong to take refuge, since Gongsun Du reused you, with your character, you should not have done anything to betray the lord." But I still chose to give me the opportunity to enter Liaodong, if it is just to repay the favor is afraid that it is too much, I want to know a more convincing reason? ”
Lu Yu was a little gloomy when he heard this, "Gongsun Du has entered old age, and he has begun to become more and more unable to listen to advice, and he has begun to become arrogant, cruel and murderous, whether it is Buyeo, Goguryeo or the little king of North Korea, he is bullied and afraid." Moreover, more and more crises began to emerge in Liaodong, and in a few more years, I was afraid that the situation that Liaodong had established well would be ruined. Gongsun Du has no sons-in-law, the two sons of the concubine, the eldest Gongsun Kang is cowardly and incompetent, and the second Gongsun Gong inherited his father's arrogance but did not inherit his talents. If Gongsun Du dies, it must be a situation where brothers are divided and divided. For the sake of hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong, I rashly asked my brother to discuss the matter of replacing him. ”
Tian Jing was very moved when he heard this, "Thank you brother Xian for trusting me so much, if there is a day when I become the lord of Liaodong in the future, then I will definitely treat the people well and accept advice." ”
Lu Yu listened, and as soon as he hit the ground, "Lu Yu of Zhuojun has seen the lord, and from then on, Lu Yu will hand over his life to the lord." ”
Tian Jing hurriedly helped Lu Yu up, "Brother Xian, wouldn't it be obvious to say such a thing, you and I are brothers, and from now on we will be one and the same." ”
Lu Yu got up and discussed with Tian Jing how to grasp the details of Liaodong.
Tian Jing proposed that now is not the best time, and everything has to wait for Yuan Cao to start a war. On the other hand, Lu Yu's foundation in Liaodong is not yet solid, and his preparation is far from sufficient. In the future, he will send some people over to break into Gongsun Du's interior with the help of Lu Yu and gain more power.
Lu Yu asked Tian Jing, I don't know if I have seen Xu Liang of the Yangle County Party Committee.
Tian Jing smiled, "I saw it, but unfortunately I wasn't too cold, I don't know what the relationship between this person and the virtuous brother is?" ”
Lu Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and after careful questioning, he realized that he had fortunately not offended Tian Jing, and said, "This person is the son of Xu Rong, and he has been in Liaodong, because Xu Rong recommended Gongsun Du to Dong Zhuo back then, so Gongsun Du still takes care of Xu Liang." However, Gongsun Gong is not envious of Xu Liang, and he is quite a bit of a mustard. I have been here for two years and have had the deepest friendship with this person, and I have vaguely revealed that I want to welcome my brother as the lord of Liaodong, Xu Liang is a person who can be trusted. And his position in Yangle is also very important. ”
Tian Jing listened and said, "That's good." Yang Le is a very important move in our hands. The next step is to see if there is an opportunity to arrange our own people in Changli. Buyeo, Goguryeo, and North Korea should also keep in touch if they have the opportunity to see if there are any opportunities that can be used in the future. ”
After the two discussed, Lu Yu personally took Tian Jing to visit Xiangping City, but in fact, he saw it more mainly on defense. Tian Jing looked at it, and said in his heart, it seems that in the future, this city must be attacked from the inside, otherwise, I don't know how many soldiers will be killed and injured.
