Chapter 101: I had a heart for the bright moon

Unlike Hu Dahai's generosity and heroism, Geng Zaicheng's grievances are extremely clear. Hu Dahai was his friend, so he would rather give up his life in front of the two armies than leave Hu Dahai behind. And Lu Lu once dared to vaguely threaten his family, then I'm sorry, even if we don't want your life, we have to pull you to be a thief together!

It's just that the bend in my heart goes around my mouth, and it becomes another kind of rhetoric. Affectionate and righteous, and well-intentioned. That Hu Dahai knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he couldn't refute a word. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said again, "Right now, Lord Lu's family lives in the capital, if he stays and doesn't return, won't the court take his whole family as a treat?!" ”

Geng Zaicheng shook his head again, and said very confidently, "If he stays in Xuzhou City and becomes an official of the Red Turban Army, the imperial court will naturally not let his family go." And if he is detained and becomes a prisoner, even if the court is unreasonable, he has to think about who will bring troops over next time! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Liangmou with his eyes. Who knew that this time Wu Liangmou seemed to suddenly become alert. smiled and shook his head in response: "If the surname Lu is really like what he said, he hasn't done anything hurtful." I'm afraid that our Xuzhou army really won't hurt him. As for whether to stay or not, it depends on his old man's own intentions. After all, he sang under Chongtianmen more than 20 years ago, and now he is also a great Confucian who can be counted in the world. If you detain him in the army for no reason, wouldn't it push all the scholars in the world to the side of the court?! ”

The Great Yuan Dynasty took the world with bows and horses, and ruled the world with butcher knives. The imperial examination was originally regarded as dispensable. It was not until more than 40 years after ruling the Central Plains that the first imperial examination was officially held. And since then, it has been intermittent, and there is no fixed charter at all. Therefore, if you want to be on the list, the difficulty is not ordinary. Over time, all those who can be admitted to the Jinshi have left a great reputation in Confucianism.

And Lu Lu was this guy, a jinshi in the second year of Tianli. And his name ranked seventh on the left list, and he was immediately awarded the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy of National History, and since then he has been on the road steadily. Such an all-rounder, who could read and be an official, was of course regarded by the children of Confucianism as a model to emulate. Countless people are willing to worship the wall of the door and become his disciples. After careful calculation, even Mr. Feng Lin, Wu Liangmou's mentor, had to call himself a junior when he saw this person, and serve him as a teacher.

is such a hot potato, in Wu Liangmou's opinion, if the Red Turban Army didn't want to kill him from the beginning, it would be better to send him away. Reluctantly leaving it in Xuzhou is asking for hardship. Not to mention that this old man's ability to lead troops to fight is similar to that of an idiot, and staying behind will not help the Red Turban Army. In case one day the old man is unhappy and complains. spread out, in the mouths of the world's scholars, the Red Turban Army will really become a demon. I'm afraid it won't be clear for thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Wu Liangmou smiled again and whispered to Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng. "In my opinion, this old master Lu is probably not a person who is willing to die lightly. You might as well tell him what Brother Defu just said. If he is willing to take the initiative to stay and assist Manager Li, presumably the Xuzhou army will not force him away! ”

"Yes!" Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng nodded slightly. took a leave of absence from Wu Liangmou, turned around and went back to find Lu Luzeng. Unexpectedly, Lu Luzeng, who had just finished analyzing the stakes, was afraid of death before, suddenly became righteous again, "What nonsense!" You two are willing to fall, so go away. The old man only saw the wrong person at the beginning, and he won't stop you! But if you want to drag the old man to join the same stream, there is no door! The old man received the grace of the four generations of His Majesty, and this life was no longer his own. Even if he is punished by the court according to the law after he goes back, he is willing to do it! (Note 2)

"Adult ——!" All his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Hu Dahai was so angry that he really wanted to slap Lu Luzeng to wake him up. Geng Zaicheng smiled and pulled the sleeve of his coat, shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." This kind of Lord Lu is the Lord Lu that you and I respected before. If you are like you and me, you will lose your heart!! ”

"You don't want to provoke me with words!" It's not because the fire is hot, or because you're unwilling to lose the battle. Lu Luzeng glared at Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng irritably, and said loudly: "After the old man goes back, the court will not ask. If you want to ask, it will be said that almost all the generals under his command were killed on the spot. The specific names and surnames can be found in the list left in Huainan before the expedition. I just hope that you two will be able to behave yourself here in the future, and don't really be the thieves who harm the people! Otherwise, even if the old man is a ghost, he will haunt you every day! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng heard this, and hurriedly bowed down. Lu Luzeng didn't bother to look at the two of them anymore, so he pulled a branch from the fire that was charred at one end, and wrote wild grass directly on the ground. The end is a pen walking dragon snake, like a frightening flood.

After a short time, Xu Hongsan brought the commander Xu Da over, stood quietly by the fire, and accompanied Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng to watch Lu Luzeng's calligraphy. I saw that Lu Lu Zeng wrote more and more fluently, and the more he wrote, the more confident he became, and the previous obscene appearance of greed for life and fear of death judged the two of them. Writing and writing, it was read aloud as if no one was around, using the dialect of the Bianliang area, although Xu Da and the others didn't understand a word, they knew that the old master was chanting poetry and words, so they didn't dare to disturb him, and their faces were full of admiration.

The old man dropped the wooden stick, looked around his ink treasure with his hands behind his back, and said a little proudly: "Hehe, the old man's post of Zhang Changshi's life has always been in its shape and not its god, and today he suffered this setback, but he finally got a glimpse of the door!" (Note 1)

After all, it's a pity that I don't have any paper on hand for me to continue waving. Turning his head sideways, he asked Xu Da, who was full of admiration, "I remember you." You are the leader of the Xuzhou Red Turban, and you shoot your arrows quite accurately. Do you know what the old man is writing?! ”

After Xu Da became an officer, he has always been ashamed of being illiterate, so he doesn't like to listen to others ask him if he is illiterate. But in the face of Lu Luzeng, an old jinshi who has been famous for more than 20 years, he can't have a temper at all. He arched his hand and responded seriously: "Let the master see and laugh!" When Xu was young, his family was poor and had no money to study. In the past six months, someone has been invited to open the Meng. So you write the old words, Xu can only recognize three or two of them! ”

"Poor family and no money to study?" Lu Lu was stunned, as if it was the first time he had heard that someone was so poor, "It's a pity." But now that you've become a martial artist, why do you want to ask someone to enlighten you? ”

"Back to the old man's words!" Xu Da gave another salute and told him frankly about his thoughts, "The reason why Xu rebelled was because he was so hungry that he couldn't live." But God can't watch people starve to death all the time, and sooner or later there will be a day of peace in the world. At that time, they will not be able to rule the country with a knife, nor can they use a knife to teach their children and grandchildren! ”

"This?" This time, it was Lulu's turn to admire. His eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Da again and again. finally sighed and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that the old man met you late." Otherwise, they can take you under the door. Alas, now, to say this, it seems that Lu is a certain snob, and wants to borrow your hand to live! That's it, that's it, there are people like you in the Red Turban Army, and the old man is not unjust in losing this morning! ”

Immediately, he shook his head a few more times, stretched out his feet, and wiped the wild grass off the ground.

When Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng saw this, they knew that Old Master Lu had really made up his mind, and would rather be a loyal ghost to the Dayuan court than take refuge in Xuzhou Red Scarf. Therefore, if you give advice, you don't want to be long-winded. Xu Da respected the old master's reputation and knowledge, and he didn't want to force this person. So he looked around, called a few familiar faces, and ordered them to be responsible for serving Old Master Lu, so as not to let the old man be wronged in the slightest.

At this moment, Lu Luzeng's state of mind was completely different from before. After thanking Xu Da, he became a prisoner of Lonely Chu with peace of mind, and never caused any trouble to anyone again.

After about two hours, all the officers and men of the Red Turban Army crossed the river, along with their baggage. Sesame Li sent an elite to pick up Mao Gui, Peng Da and Wei Zixi. Others, in a hurry, had some war meals. Then he took another step and embarked on the return journey back to Xuzhou City.

Pan Lezi, who stayed in Xuzhou, had already learned the news of the victory of the army, and personally led the soldiers in the city to take them out five miles away. After the captured grain and grass were put into storage, the wounded were settled, and the sky was completely dark.

Under the special care of Shi Zhaojun, the marching commander, Lu Lu was very politely arranged into a courtyard left behind by the Semu people. Except that he can't come and go at will, the rest of the qiē is up to him. Food and clothing, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Xuzhou army is also in full supply.

After another two days, Mao Gui, Peng Da, and Wei Zixi took the grain and grass from the old camp of the Huainan Army and returned. The disposal of captives was also on the agenda.

As the original Jizu and others said, Sesame Li was also not interested in slaughtering prisoners. After a few casual reprimands, he ordered all the captured salters to be released. Those who are willing to stay in Xuzhou can choose to join the army as an auxiliary soldier or receive a hoe to open up the wasteland on their own. Those who did not want to stay in Xuzhou paid 200 copper coins per person for travel expenses, and let them go home on their own.

When the captives heard this, they immediately burst into thunderous cheers. Of the more than 5,000 people, more than 4,000 chose to stay. Only less than 1,000 people still had concerns at home, so they took the copper money from Li Mubai, who joined the army in Sicang, and then left with a thousand thanks.

When Lu Lu saw this, his mind became more peaceful. Every day, he recited poems and painted in his house under house arrest, and his life was the most leisurely period since he became an official. On this day, he was continuing to figure out the charm of the grass saint Zhang Xu under the window, and one of the four servants who was waiting for him suddenly ran in in a hurry, leaned down, and held a famous post in both hands, "Master, red, the second leader of the Red Turban Army, Zhao, Zhao Jun is used to visit." At this moment, I am drinking tea in the concierge, may I ask you, sir, do you have time to see him? ”

Note 1: Zhang Changshi, the grass saint Zhang Xu, did the Jinwu long history, so later generations called him Zhang Changshi.

Note 2: Because the ministers and relatives controlled the court, the emperors in the late Yuan Dynasty were very short-lived. Lu Lu had been a jinshi in 1329, and by 1352 as mentioned in the text, there had been four emperors.

Note 3: Today's update. Continuing tomorrow, sorry for keeping you waiting.!
