Chapter 20 Desire to destroy Xianbei
The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhong Xuan is the governor of the Taiwei Mansion, so he is responsible for the transfer of grain and grass to Zhong Xuan.
Xu Rong, Huangfu Song and Gao Shun led their troops out of Chang'an. On Lu Bu's side, there are too many preparations.
Lu Bu wanted to leave Chang'an, first, he was worried about Wang Yun and others, and the other was that when he invited the rich families of Chang'an to the banquet the day before yesterday, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took refuge and needed to be resolved together. He first ordered someone to call Li Ru. Then he went to order someone to invite Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to the Taiwei Mansion.
When Li Ru came, Lu Bu instructed him to keep an eye on Wang Yun's every move. Wang Yun now has no real power as a big farmer, but there is no big mistake in being careful, although Lu Bu is not afraid of Wang Yun in his heart, he is always afraid that this old man will secretly give himself a hand behind his back, so he specially instructed Li Ru.
Then asked about Li Dao's nephew Li Ying, since Lu Bu wanted to recruit Li Dao, this Li Ying could be used at a critical time.
Li Ru said: "Li Ying's chess piece may not work. Since Jia Xu has deep wisdom, he will inevitably have a countermeasure. When the lord and Niu Fu are at war, they can choose the opportunity to act, and then take the opportunity to separate Niu Fu and Jia Xu. Li Ying's flag, maybe it plays a role in this! ”
Lu Bu nodded after hearing this, taking it to heart. At this time, the doorman came to report that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping had arrived.
Lu Bu left Li Ru, and then called someone to invite Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to come in.
The two of them saw Lu Bu respectfully and respectfully bowed, and his attitude was deep and humble. Lu Bu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. Wu Lu Bu was born in the army, and he was informal, so there was no need for this. ”
"Lord Taiwei Xie!"
The two sighed in their hearts, although Lu Bu was young, he acted sophisticatedly, and this person was bold and informal, which invisibly gave people a sense of closeness.
Of course, this is because the two of them don't know Lu Bu very well, if they knew Lu Bu's personality, they wouldn't think so.
Lu Bu pointed at Li Ru and said: "Li Ru, the character is excellent, and now he is still the Shangshu Order!" ”
"I've seen Master Li!"
The two of them saluted again.
Li Ru hurriedly returned the salute, but he knew that Lu Bu's reuse of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping was not only because these two people donated hundreds of millions of money and grain to the imperial court, so they were also polite in return.
"Now the imperial court is using money and food, and fortunately, the two of them have helped. But how can I be too greedy? I deserve all the money and food and grass that you have limited. ”
The two hurriedly didn't dare.
"The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end. Although businessmen are not allowed to enter the ranks, I know that if there are no merchants who come and go from the south to the north to sell goods, how can the people in the north eat the oranges in the south of the Yangtze River, and how can the people in the south eat the cattle and sheep in the north. Trade is inherently conducive to the prosperity of the world, so commerce is not useless. However, it is not for nothing that people in the world think that businessmen are profit-seeking and opportunistic. Therefore, today we set up Shang Cao Yuan, and set up a long history, engaged, etc. This merchant is the merchant who governs the world, and makes commercial laws. In this way, businessmen can be restrained from opportunism and harm the interests of the country and the people. ”
Su Shuang said: "What Lord Taiwei said is true. It is in the nature of businessmen to seek profit. Merchants should trade in accordance with the principle of fairness and justice. The two of us often traded with the Hu people outside the Saiwai area, and often encountered the Hu people who suppressed people with power and lowered prices, which caused me and other merchants to suffer a lot of losses. ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Buyers and sellers cannot be divided into big merchants and small merchants, and they must not grab unequal profits because of this. ”
Zhang Shiping on the side also said: "However, the imperial court does not have such a clear commercial law, so it cannot be restricted." In order to obtain high profits, businessmen often collude with the government and the power of their relatives to squeeze some good people and businessmen. We also know that this is to quench thirst by drinking water, which is not beneficial to the country or to the people. ”
"Wen You, how to make a commercial law, restrain merchants, you wait and discuss well, Ben will be a military general, and I don't know much about this. You can also assist Su and Zhang in formulating a commercial law, and then implement it by the will of the imperial court. In the future, the world will be pacified, and it can be implemented in the territory of our Han Dynasty. Lu Bu said to Li Ru on the side.
Li Ru nodded in agreement.
It is up to them to discuss how to make a commercial law and how to set standards. And what Lu Bu is most concerned about is that these two people can provide war horses for themselves and can provide intelligence for themselves.
So Lu Bu asked: "Can you and the two of you trade with the Xiongnu and Xianbei on the Great Wall outside the Saiwai all the year round, can you get their good horses?" ”
"This?" Su Shuangdao: "Although the Hu people need silk, tea, and salt from our Central Plains, they mostly trade cattle and sheep with us, and rarely have horses. Yes is also a horse. ”
"Although there is a place to raise horses in the Central Plains, after all, war horses are scarce, and they are not as good as the good horses on the grassland. In the future, you and the two of you will find some ways to buy some good horses from Xianbei or the Huns. The money needed could be spent by the imperial court. Remember, it has to be a good horse. ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping knew that Lu Bu wanted good horses, naturally in order to build cavalry, although there were difficulties, but the means were not impossible, so they nodded in response.
Seeing that the two agreed, Lu Bu continued: "In the sixth year of Xiping, Xianbei Kou plundered the border fortress, and the imperial court sent Xia Yu, the captain of Karasuma, Tian Yan, the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, Zang Min of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, and Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu from Yanmen County to attack Xianbei, but they were defeated and returned, and the troops were lost eight or nine out of ten. In the future, I want to go north to destroy Xianbei, and I can't repeat this mistake! ”
Li Ru listened to it on the sidelines and was shocked, Lu Bu wanted to go north to destroy Xianbei. Although Xianbei is divided, Xianbei is strong, and there are more than 200,000 people who control the strings, how can it be destroyed? Lu Bu was reckless at this time, and even so, he couldn't destroy Xianbei.
"Lord, Xianbei is powerful, and it is not easy to destroy it, please be cautious." Li Ru persuaded. Even Dong Zhuo, although he hated Xianbei and other foreign races, he did not dare to go to the north easily.
Lu Buhaha laughed, and his laughter was full of pride: "In the past, when I was in the annexation of the state, I crisscrossed the desert north, and the Xianbei people were not afraid, not to mention that today, as a captain, I have 100,000 soldiers and horses under my command, how can I be afraid of this Xianbei person." Wen Youdon't have to worry. Before he had the strength, he would not easily go north to conquer Xianbei. However, we Han Chinese know very little about the alien lands in the north. The art of war is cloudy: knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you can clear the forces and generals of the Xianbei people, I will have many fewer sacrifices in the future. ”
"What does the Captain want me to do?"
The two of them seemed to be a little confused about what Lu Bu meant.
"In the future, when trading with Xianbei and other clansmen, send people to collect information, including the generals and colonies, as well as the distribution of troops. This matter is confidential and must not be divulged. ”
Only then did the two understand Lu Bu's intentions, so they agreed.
The three discussed the details again, and then sent Li Ru and the others away, and they returned to the backyard.
Lu Bu returned to the backyard. This expedition will not be in the house for a while, and he will go to look for Diao Chan.
In the back garden, there is a gazebo, front and back flower beds, a pond on the right, and a circular rockery on the other side. Now it is spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming, competing for beauty, bees and butterflies dancing, flowers, birds and insects, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, making people feel refreshed in it.
Today's Diao Chan, wearing a lilac shirt on her upper body, wearing a plain white smoky gauze skirt, a gorgeous goose yellow belt tied into a beautiful bow, long green silk floating on her shoulders at will, pulling a delicate flowing cloud bun, inserting a jasmine mutton fat hairpin, looks more glamorous and moving.
The maid Xiaocui on the side sat aside, gently plucking the strings, the sound of the piano was crisp and pleasant, flowing slowly like flowing water, with the sound of the piano, the sable cicada danced with the wind, the long sleeves sometimes fluttered, sometimes rotating like a rainbow in the sky, graceful figure, beautiful dancing, the appearance of the country and the city, in the sea of flowers, the bees and butterflies around the body, like a fairy in the sky.
"Good, good!"
An abrupt cheer broke the wonderful moment. Lu Buben was fascinated by it, and he couldn't help but be amazed by the stunning picture.
With this exclamation, Diao Chan also stopped. Lu Bu waved his hand and let Xiao Cui go down first, then gently hugged Diao Chan from behind, sniffed the body fragrance lingering on the end of his nose, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Beautiful, so beautiful!" ”
Diao Chan felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and when he was rejoicing, he was picked up by Lu Bu.
Diao Chan was startled, and hurriedly struggled: "General, don't!" ”
Lu Bu's heart is up, he will go on the expedition tomorrow, since he accepted Diao Chan, he has not finished his work, but he has never had the opportunity to try it, which makes Lu Bu's heart itch. Now take this opportunity to go to Wushan Yunyu together, which is really a great joy in life.
In fact, Diao Chan has long had love for Lu Bu in his heart.
Lu Bufeng is handsome, burly, heroic and upright, neither the sour scholarly spirit of a literati, nor the rudeness of a martial artist, the most important thing is that Lu Bu is powerful in the Central Plains, even Hu Lu, who is far away outside the plug, has heard the order of Lu Bufei, and he is a beauty who loves heroes, since Dong Zhuo was killed, Diao Chan has a kind of admiration for Lu Bu in his heart. This kind of affection, there is love, there is worship.
So when Lu Bu picked herself up, how could Diao Chan not know what Lu Bu was going to do, but this was not what she wanted. Diao Chan struggled and said, "General, please respect yourself!" ”
Lu Bu knew that Diao Chan wanted to refuse and welcome, so he wanted to go to the room.
Diao Chan couldn't break free, so he said in a cold tone: "If the general really loves Xiu'er, when the Ming media is marrying, if he is a woman in the dust of Xiu'er, Xiu'er will die!" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his heart sank, and the passion in his belly instantly cooled, so he had to put down Diao Chan. Diao Chan quickly broke free, stood aside, and gently sorted out the messy green silk and clothes, before turning his head and saying, "General, Xiu'er actually admires the general very much. The general is a hero in the world, and now he is in a high position, and he should be an example for the world in his words and deeds! The general is not a thing in the pool, since he should focus on the hegemony of the world, how can he have a long love for children and a gentle hometown, if he lets the people of the world know, will not let those who want to serve the great sages and talents have doubts. ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his face was slightly red, and he was ashamed in his heart, even Xiu'er could understand the big things, but he was a little carried away. Lu Bu, Lu Bu, how can you forget the tragic situation of dying in the White Gate Tower in your dream? Is it possible to die in the White Gate Tower again, and then let the people of later generations spit on it?
Xiu'er then choked up and said: "Xiu'er has had a hard life since she was a child, and she has been sold to a large family as a maid since she was a child. Even if Lord Wang accepted Xiu'er as a righteous daughter, Xiu'er still did not change her miserable situation. Xiu'er didn't expect anything until she met the general, Xiu'er admired the general, and the general also liked Xiu'er, Xiu'er just hoped that the general would be a person who let Xiu'er entrust him for life! ”
Diao Chan gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and I felt pity for her clothes, and her face was full of sentimentality. Lu Bu held Xiu'er's hands with pity, and said pityingly: "It's Bu Menglang!" Xiu'er, but you can rest assured, when Bu pacifies the thieves, and then when the class teacher returns to the court, he will definitely choose a good day and an auspicious day, three books and six ceremonies, and take it clearly, okay? ”
Diao Chan snuggled in Lu Bu's arms and nodded gently.
Lu Bu held Diao Chan with pity, thinking in his heart that if he couldn't gain a foothold in the troubled times, even if Diao Chan was so popular, he wouldn't be able to protect them. Thinking in his heart, he secretly resolved that he must establish the cause of the king in order to protect his family, brothers, and lovers.
