Section 95 Meeting the Visitor (5)
It's so aggrieved!
Someone was holding a spear of his own production against a somewhat tattered shield in his hand, and more importantly, the place under his feet was not his own land, and the opponent also had a strong force and an untold number of men in a short time!
Zeng Yixing felt that he had never been so embarrassed, even in the face of the old father who said nothing at home, even in the face of the nagging old lady who never stopped at home, even in the face of colleagues who could speak well in the court, even in the face of the cunning and cunning ruffians under his rule, no one could compare with the guy in front of him!
This guy who is not as tall as the Han people, even if he sits on a Hu bed of the same height, he is a lot taller than himself! The sense of oppression brought by it is greater than that of those unreasonable veteran ruffians in the DPRK! What's more, this guy is still so young!
What bothered him the most was that the bastard in front of him couldn't make it difficult for people to distinguish the depths, and he looked like a military general, but he could casually say the words and phrases in the Analects that ordinary literati could hardly relate to, and he also used it to deal with himself, a descendant of Confucius's students (1)! And what tortured him the most was that he could argue with his colleagues for countless rounds but couldn't refute the other party's cross-examination!
The honest male voice sounded again, and Zeng Yixing, who kept secretly investigating what he had learned in his head, heard the guy opposite say: "Brother Zeng came from afar to congratulate Luo's wedding, and he has a heavy gift...... Luo is not unkind, since I will not let Brother Zeng return empty-handed, although I first arrived in Lingzhou, the production is not only floating cars, but also more than 100 kinds of things allowed to be sold, later Luo will send a list and Brother Zeng, if Brother Zeng is interested, you can choose some! β
"Checklist?" Zeng Yixing Mumu blankly repeated the words he didn't understand.
"Oh, the lister, the goods are also written!" Luo Kaixian explained casually, looking calm and sincere, just like he said, although this conversation was not very friendly, he didn't want to really get into trouble with the other party - that didn't do any good, so he softened his tone and brought up other items to divert the other party's interest, and he also believed that many products in the camp could make him interested, of course, products outside of the secret project.
As he wished, Zeng Yixing's interest really rose, "I don't know what General Luo said?" β
"There are pencils, quills, soaps, soaps, floral essential oils, toothbrushes and tooth powders and other small items, the first two are writing instruments, and the last few are clean products, suitable for my brother to take back to give to the ladies at home!" Luo Kai said a few things casually, and then found that the other party was ignorant, and then explained a little apologetically: "Forgive Luo's negligence, there is no sample here for Brother Zeng to check, and when the list and Brother Zeng are delivered later, someone will submit the sample to ensure that Brother Zeng is satisfied!" β
Zeng Yixing held back the curiosity of scratching his heart, and asked calmly: "I don't know what a strange thing, why has Zeng never heard anyone mention it?" β
"Ha, this is a newly trial-made thing that Luo collected materials along the way and arrived in Lingzhou, and the quantity is scarce, and few people even know about it in this camp." Speaking of these, Luo Kaixian was also quite excited in his heart, and it was rare to squeeze his eyes at Zeng Yixing, "Brother Zeng traveled far away in this winter, presumably the female relatives in the family are very worried, and the fragrance of floral essential oils is pleasant, which can make up for the gods of the inner house for Brother Zeng!" β
"Is there such a thing? General Luo can't deceive a certain ......" Zeng Yixing's expression instantly became subtle.
It is said that men talking about women together is the best way to get closer to each other, as if it is no exception in that era, at least for now, Luo Kaixian feels that he has got an example.
Although the high-ranking official named Zeng Yixing was a little simple and naΓ―ve, he was still an understanding person who had experienced the experience of officialdom, and Luo Kaixian also deliberately restrained his temper so that everything could go on, otherwise the venue would become a killing field, and it might cause an unexpected war.
Seeing off Zeng Yixing, Antiano, who succeeded Olki, walked into the living room with his head shaken.
"Who else will come next?" The schedule was arranged by Alki, and Luo Kaixian didn't know, so he could only ask the deputy of the captain of the pro-soldier who was a little out of tune.
Antiano hurriedly stood up in an orderly manner, "General, there were originally those Khotanese people, but Olki went to deal with it and didn't come back, and besides, there is no one who needs to receive the lord." β
Khotanese? It doesn't have much to do with his side, and there won't be any problem with Olki coming forward to deal with it, Luo Kaixian didn't take it to heart, he returned to his seat and sat down, "Antiano, what happened to the kid who spoke wildly before?" β
"That...... The boys were beaten up by their own men......" said Antiano, with a little frowning.
Beaten up by your own people? Lao Luo was a little interested, and when he asked again, he listened to Antiano's vivid description of the whole process.
It turned out that the noble son Wang Chen was really as Zeng Yixing said, he temporarily joined the team before he traveled, and he was usually arrogant and domineering, but he had a deep background, and Zeng Yixing couldn't do anything about him, because his father was Wang Miao, the governor of Weizhou, and his grandfather was Wang Dan, the prime minister of Zhao and Song, so no one wanted to provoke him along the way.
With Zeng Yixing's personal guard named Hongming taking the lead, after being pushed out of the living room to explain the reason, even his own personal guards didn't dare to help.
Secretly sighed that there are cheats at any time, and the impression of Zeng Yixing, whom Luo Kaixian had seen before, was better - at least this Zhao Song official still had some integrity. As for the role of Wang Chen, he has also been in contact with it in later generations, and the words "not enough success" and more than failure refer to this kind of goods, because the characters here often have deep backgrounds, and they can always jump out from time to time like toads to disgust people.
"It's just a beating, no broken arms and no broken legs?" Luo Kai stared at Antiano first and asked with some curiosity.
The deputy captain of the personal soldiers was stared at by him, and stumbled and said: "General, you didn't give an order, I didn't dare to move, the entourage of the Zhao Song officials beat it by themselves, and the guards called Hongming took a few people to whip them with their scabbards, and the guy's legs and feet were not injured, and half of his teeth were missing...... You are still angry, Lord, or I will take someone to ...... them all."
As he spoke, the half-breed made a tactical gesture of decapitation by measuring his neck.
"Go, go, fuck off, go outside the door!" Luo Kaixian ordered angrily, every time he saw the bastard in front of him, he would wonder if he was too good to his subordinates, how could there be such a hippie smile among the more than 100 gladiators, could it be that the suppressed nature changed from implicit to explicit? He doesn't know.
However, with this guy interrupting, Luo Kaixian felt a lot more relaxed.
Although the previous meeting with Zeng Yixing seemed to have taken the initiative easily, how could he really relax in the face of the seemingly simple Zeng Yixing?
On the surface, Zeng Yixing is obviously a visiting official who likes miscellaneous studies, and that Wang Chen is just a second ancestor with unsound eyes, but is everything really as it seems?
Luo Kaixian didn't dare to believe what he saw easily, not only because the other party was a first-time visitor, but more importantly, because the other party had an empire supported by tens of millions of people behind him. Even if he never looked down on the combat power of the classical army of this era, nor the efficiency of the war organization of this era, nor did he like the weak political form of Zhao and Song, he did not dare to underestimate those high-ranking officials and emperors who controlled the order of tens of millions of people.
Being able to rule over tens of millions of people means that they represent the will of the people to a certain extent, and it means that they carry the trust and hope of more than 10 million people. And those who are high up may not be as knowledgeable as those who are in the same position in later generations, but when it comes to controlling people's hearts, Luo Kaixian, a general who specializes in battlefield killing, is far inferior.
For this, Luo is also self-aware, so he would rather take people to build his own power in this Hexi land than go to the Song Realm to intrigue with a group of old political ghosts.
Just like the current situation, if he is a little careless, Zhao Song's army will attack in a big way, he is not afraid of killing, but what will happen to the people who have not yet gained a stable foothold? With his strategic wisdom and the combat power of tens of thousands of troops under his command, the results will be brilliant, but what is the point of that?
After the hard work, it will inevitably consume a lot of vitality of the entire East, and it will also accumulate insoluble folk grudges...... Obviously, that was not in line with Luo's original intention of returning to the East.
After thinking about a lot of things, Luo Kaixian felt that this feeling of walking into history was really subtle.
He is now in the land of the Hereafter, and he is not a member of the nation of the same clan to which he belongs at this time! It's really hard to explain, especially when you think that one day you might be called a barbarian by the Song people, maybe one day you might be regarded as a "rebel" who didn't want to obey the emperor, or maybe it would be recorded in books by some literati as part of the change of dynasty.
Luo Kaixian, who was sitting in the hall, was confused by everything he thought, knowing the trend of historical development, he felt as if he had become a part of the long-term flow of time, both following the tide and fighting the waves, but he didn't know if he could splash big enough to change the direction of the river......

P.S. The content of the last few paragraphs is a bit complicated, but these are absolutely unavoidable, and the things that a leader touches must be extremely complicated, and they will never be able to do it by being clever or cunning. I guess it's not very pleasing, but I see that the number of clicks is so-so, that is, there are still book friends paying attention, thank you here!
