Looking at the silent Wei Tongnian, Lu Weiqi felt a little uneasy, he originally thought that with his fame and Li Xianfeng's friendship with Wei Tongnian, it should not be a difficult thing to persuade Wei Tongnian to send troops and horses to Luoyang to help him defend the city, but now it seems that things are not as easy as imagined!

Wei Tongnian, who has been in the sea for a long time, is naturally not stupid, although he still doesn't know the purpose of Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng's coming, but it is not trivial to be able to work Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng to come to Jinan in person, so he invited the two to come to the Pearl Spring to relax, to distract the two of them, and secondly, to give himself a little time to prepare.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Lu Weiqi stopped, gritted his teeth and turned his head and said: "Lord Wei, the old man and Qingyang came here to ask for something, and I promised that Lord Wei could see that Cangsheng Sheji and hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang would agree." ”

Wei Tongnian smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lu, don't say that, I can't afford you to say that in my later life, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it." ”

Lu Weiqi made a color at Li Xianfeng, and Li Xianfeng took a step forward and said, "Brother Longsheng, the junior brother came to ask you for help this time." ”

Wei Tongtong was stunned for a while: "Help, where do you start." ”

"That's right." Li Xianfeng sighed and said: "Recently, Li Chuang and thieves have been rampant, and now they have run into Henan, Pingyang Mansion has been razed to ruins, and more than ten county towns have also been captured by them. ”

Hearing this, Wei Tongnian understood everything, it turned out that they had taken a fancy to my Shandong soldiers and horses. After thinking of this, Wei Tongnian felt a wave of depression in his heart, what's the matter, did these come to the door to fight the autumn breeze after seeing that the old man had only recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses? And this thing seems ordinary, but there is so much information in it.

First of all, if Shandong wants to mobilize troops and horses to aid Luoyang, it must need an official document from the Ministry of War, otherwise the imperial court will regard it as a rebellion, so the problem will arise, if the Ministry of War really issued an official document to mobilize Shandong's soldiers and horses to aid Henan, and still use a former military department Shangshu and a current governor of Henan to personally run to their own land and tell themselves?

Then the problem is obvious, these two people obviously came over in private. Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng must not have official documents from the imperial court, otherwise they would not be guilty of begging for themselves with their status and status.

Thinking of this, Wei Tongnian frowned and asked, "Brother Qingyang, do you two want Shandong to send troops, do you bring the official document of the Ministry of War?" ”

Lu Weiqi was a little annoyed when he heard this, "Lord Wei, if it is an official document from the old man and the Ministry of War, how can he come to visit in person." ”

Wei Tongnian smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lu, you are also an old man who has been the first in command of the Ministry of War, don't you know that if you send troops without an official document of the Ministry of War, it will be tantamount to rebellion?" It's not that the lower officials refute your face, you should be serious or hurry up to ask for an official document from the Ministry of War! ”

Wei Tongnian's words choked Lu Weiqi and rolled his eyes, if it weren't for the good cultivation of kung fu, Lu Weiqi would almost be scolding his mother, Nima's, if the old man can bring the official document of the Ministry of War, will he personally come to take the old man's hot face and stick it to your cold ass? It's not that you don't know how much the emperor doesn't like you two sons-in-law, and how can he let you send troops into Henan.

Seeing that Lu Weiqi was about to get angry, Li Xianfeng hurriedly said on the side: "Brother Longsheng, if it weren't for the fact that this time it was really a last resort, you also know that the emperor and the military department would not let go of this matter, this time the younger brother and the Confucian Gong came to beg you on behalf of millions of people in Henan, I hope that my brother can send troops to rescue Li Min Sheji and the upside down, if you can repel the rebellion, my brother is in Sheji!" ”

Wei Tongnian secretly pursed his lips, this Li Xianfeng really didn't even want the face for the purpose, and he was not afraid of blowing the cowhide.

Thinking of this, Wei Tongnian said: "Lord Lu, Brother Qingyang, we don't lie in front of real people, and now there are only thousands of soldiers and horses in Jinan." If you want to rush to Luoyang, you have to mobilize from Qingzhou, this has to nod to Chaodong, you two don't know that the emperor doesn't treat us and son-in-law very well, if we send troops without authorization, this is to break the sky! ”

Hearing this, Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng were silent, they are both people who have read poetry and books, and naturally they don't want to speak with their conscience, Chongzhen's attitude towards Shandong at this time is that everyone knows it, if Shandong sends troops without authorization, it will inevitably anger Chongzhen, and no one knows what will happen at that time. But if Shandong does not send troops to Luoyang, it will be difficult to protect, which is really a dilemma.

Lu Weiqi gritted his teeth, his eyes showed a look of determination, he bowed deeply to Wei Tongnian, which almost scared Wei Tongnian to death, if he really accepted Lu Weiqi's worship, the people who read the whole world would have to scold him to death.

"What are you doing, sir, the lower officials can't afford your big gift." Wei Tongnian hurriedly helped Lu Weiqi up.

Lu Weiqi stood up with the support of Wei Tongnian, and he said with a solemn expression: "Lord Wei, you are also born in the book of sages, Kong said Chengren and Meng said to take righteousness, and now the rebellion and others are raging in Henan, millions of people are in dire straits, and the imperial court has no soldiers to send, the only one who can save the people of Luoyang is you, can you really bear to stand by?" ”

Elder Wei Tongnian sighed and shook his head, "Master Lu, you make it difficult for the lower officials." In this way, the lower officer will also tell you the truth, the lower official really can't call the shots when sending troops, if the lower official orders the soldiers and horses in the city to temporarily carry out a small range of transfers, there is no problem, but if the battalion of soldiers and horses is ordered to go to Luoyang to relieve the siege, then this battalion of soldiers and horses will never obey the orders of the lower officer, can you understand what the lower official said? ”

What kind of people are Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng, one is the current grandmaster Confucian, and the other is the governor of a province, if Wei Tongnian can't understand them, they might as well find a piece of tofu to hit and die.

Wei Tongnian has already told them very vaguely, don't look at him as the governor of Shandong, but he is only in charge of civil affairs, he does not interfere in the affairs of the soldiers and horses, although the city defense of Jinan is also under his control, but it does not mean that he can order this battalion of soldiers and horses to go to Luoyang to fight hard, and now the only person who obeys the orders of the soldiers and horses in Shandong is only one, that is, his son-in-law, as the general of Shandong and the general of Dingguo, Pang Gang, only Pang Gang has the right to order the troops to go to the battle, and others, including his father-in-law, have no right to mobilize troops and horses to go to the battle.

At this time, Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng were dumbfounded......
