46 The king has a son, Wang Ling
Wuyuan, this is the place where Lu Bu fought with his father-in-law Ding Yuan for many years, and Tuoba Xianbei is fighting every year, it can be said that he is an old opponent, when the moth thieves rose everywhere, swept the world, the imperial court urgently dispatched the border army to the Central Plains to quell the chaos, Tuoba Xianbei took advantage of the weakness to enter, crossed the Yin Mountain, entrenched in the Wuyuan and Yunzhong area, and never returned to the desert north of the Yin Mountain.
Lu Bu took a long breath, moved his gaze south, pointed his finger between Lengquan Pass and Taiyuan, and asked, "Situ Wang Yun is from Taiyuan, where is the Wang family?" β
"Qi County!"
Song Xian pointed to a point on the map and replied, "This road to the east will pass through the ...... of Qixian County."
"Good!"
Lu Bu clapped his palms, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Let's take this road and go to Wang's house to have a look." β
At this time, Wang Yun was still one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, and he was still a high authority, and Lu Bu was very incomprehensible about this.
When Dong Zhuo was in power, Wang Yun was still just a servant, as soon as Dong Zhuo died, he worshiped Situ as an official, as if he was the head of the ministers, and led the abolition of Liu Xieli Liu Debate, a major event that shocked the world again, and while gaining praise, he also gained a lot of doubts. Li Dao, Guo Tai and Guo Yan led a large army into Luoyang, but they only executed Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, and Zhou Yu, the court captain, and others, but did not move Wang Yun at all.
From Li Su's letter, Lu Bu learned that Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu and others took the responsibility for Dong Zhuo's death in one go, plus Wang Yun was not only an important minister of the imperial court, but also a famous person in the world, and was more cooperative in the matter of Li Dao's four people proposing to abolish Liu and defend Liu Xie again, so Wang Yun did nothing in the end.
Lu Bu proposed to go to Wang's house to see, of course, not to find any trouble with Wang Yun, but to go to Diao Chan, a big beauty, at this time, he didn't know very well whether Diao Chan was already in Luoyang Wang Yun's mansion, or still in Qi County Wang's house, he had this thought, but also because Wang Yun had not been an official in Luoyang for a long time, if you want to raise a dancing girl in the house, it may be that you should first put it in your hometown and cultivate it well, and then call it to Luoyang.
But Song Xian was mistaken, hesitated for a while, and still said in a hesitant voice: "This, Duwei, Wang Situ is an important minister of the imperial court, let, this ......"
Lu Bu glanced at him angrily, and scolded with hatred: "Look at you cowardly, what are you afraid of, I will either go to the Wang family to kill the Quartet, or I will visit by the way." β
"That's good, that's good!"
Song Xian smiled, but he was still muttering in his heart, he couldn't figure out what Lu Bu wanted to do, he thought that Lu Bu was angry about Wang Yun wanting to kill Cai Yong because of Cai Yan, so he wanted to take this opportunity to go to Wang's house to find fault.
Lu Bu saw that Song Xian looked puzzled there, and secretly laughed, but he was not so careful that he couldn't say it clearly, could he just tell them that I went to the Taiyuan Wang's house just to see the beautiful Diao Chan. When they heard this, they would definitely be even more confused, neither knowing who Diao Chan was, nor how Lu Bu knew Diao Chan.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Lengquan Pass was noisy, and it was Lu Bu's army that was preparing to set off.
From Lengquan Pass to Taiyuan, there are nearly 400 miles of road, all the way is the avenue, flat and easy to walk, the cavalry unloads the salt brine, piles it in the Lengquan Pass, leaves it to be transferred by the Qiu Niu cart, and the horse travels quickly, it only takes less than three days, it can be reached, if it is a forced march, a day and a half of work can be.
But as soon as he stepped out of the door, Lu Bu immediately felt that today's north wind was very different from yesterday, and when he looked up, although he did not see a thick lead cloud like a towering city wall, but only by virtue of the memory and experience of "Lu Bu", he immediately knew that in the next day or two, the heavy lead cloud would sweep south, and then it would bring snow.
In the carriage over there, Cai Yan and his entourage took several carriages, and with the support of the servants, they boarded the carriages one by one, while Lu Bu threw Fang Tian's halberd to the ground and shouted: "Someone!" β
Song Xian immediately agreed, trotted over, and heard Lu Bu's order: "Send someone to Yong'an immediately, and the foot soldiers who have not set off and the heavy grain, grass, salt, and brine will be temporarily stationed in Yong'an, and they will make plans after the beginning of spring." β
With Song Xian going to arrange manpower, Lu Bu could completely relax, walked to Cai Yan's carriage, and asked with concern through the curtain: "Sister, the north wind is blowing, the weather is going to turn cold, maybe it will snow in the next two days, warm clothes or something, but you can bring enough." β
Before Cai Yan could say anything, Cai Qian preemptively spoke: "Ah, it's going to snow heavily?" ...... on that road"
"It's a straight road all the way, even if it snows, it's okay, so it's better to prepare warm clothes and charcoal stoves in advance, so as not to be caught off guard."
"The general's kindness, the concubine is grateful!"
This time, it was finally Cai Yan who was speaking, and after thanking Lu Bu, she instructed Cai Qian: "Qian'er, you go down and talk to your sister-in-law, find out the warm clothes and charcoal stove, and put them in the carriage." β
Cai Qian agreed crisply, lifted the curtain of the car, got out, first smiled at Lu Bu, and bowed to her, but she did not get out of the car and walk away as Lu Bu wished, but stood by the door and shouted to the carriage in front: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Miss let me find out the warm clothes and charcoal stove and bring them." β
After shouting, she turned to Lu Bu again, and said with a crisp smile: "Forgive me, general, I have to delay for a while." β
Lu Bu didn't see Cai Yan's delicate face, and the boss was disappointed in his heart, but he had a smile on his face, and said that it didn't matter, but when he turned around and was about to move towards the queue, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cai Qian sly smiling very happily, and immediately realized: This little girl is purely deliberate!
But he knew that it was impossible for him to reprimand Cai Qian for this, and at the same time pondered: It seems that this matter has to be done with this little girl, she is by Cai Yan's side day and night, if she says good things about herself in front of Cai Yan from time to time, this is more effective than giving any courtesy.
Immediately, he regretted it greatly, blaming himself for not thinking of this layer, if he had thought earlier, so many days from the salt prison to this place would be enough to flatter this little aunt and grandmother.
He didn't realize that in his heart, he had upgraded Cai Qian from a little girl to a little aunt.
The army set off, crossed the border Xiu, Wu County, rested in Zhongdu on the first day, set off the next day, when passing through Jingling, thick lead clouds appeared from the northern sky, slowly pushed south, and so on the team rushed to Qi County, most of the sky has been covered by lead clouds, only a line of blue sky in the south sky.
The ancient name of Qi County is Zhaoyu, it is because of the name of "Zhaoyu Qi Ze Xu", Ze is synonymous with Xu, that is, the lake with a lot of grass, "Zhaoyu Qi Ze Xu" is now Zhaoyu Ze, one end is located in Qi County, one end is located in Wu County, covers a huge area, and the Fenshui tributary hole is connected to the water, during the flood season, it can also play the role of regulating the flood.
The manor of the Taiyuan royal family is not in the city of Qi County, but is located next to Zhaoyuze, after Lu Bu settled the army and Cai Yan and others, Song Xian stayed in the military camp to take care of it, and he took a dozen or so personal soldiers and went straight to the Wang manor.
At this time, although the sky has not darkened, the hour is not early, the village is not uncommon, there are only a few pedestrians, I saw Lu Bu and his party from a distance, and avoided the side of the road early.
However, after a quarter of an hour's work, Lu Bu dismounted in front of the Wang family manor, and looked left and right, the earthen wall stretched hundreds of steps high, and it can be seen that the scale of the Wang family manor is not small, covering an area of three or four miles.
The gatehouse is quite simple, with tall bare branches everywhere, and when winter turns to spring, the manor should be full of greenery.
Just reported his name and surname, the porter immediately rushed into the inner report, and after a short time, a group of people came out quickly and welcomed Lu Bu and his party to the manor.
led the crowd to greet Wang Gong, the elder brother of Situ Wang Yun of the dynasty, with solid words, quite similar to Wang Yun between his eyebrows, and he must have been a beautiful man when he was young.
However, under Wang Gong, there is only one young man with extraordinary appearance, who is Wang Gong's youngest son Wang Ling.
Lu Bu was originally a little careless, but when he lowered his head and tasted tea, [Three Kingdoms. The relevant content of Wei Shu flowed through his mind like water, and there was really a lot of information about Wang Ling, and it was combined with Deng Ai Zhonghui and others, and what surprised Lu Bu even more was that Wang Ling actually died because of a plot to kill Sima Yi, who was already in charge of Cao Wei at that time.
Unexpectedly, such a childish young man in front of him turned out to be a character who could compete with Sima Yi, and like his uncle Wang Yun, he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
Lu Bu was shocked in his heart, he didn't hear what Wang Gong of the main seat said, and when he put down the teacup, he had already made up his mind that for Wang Ling, he couldn't treat Wang Yun too much in the future.
With this plan, Lu Bu immediately put down the original idea of coming to find some stubble, and instead thought about how to recruit this underage Wang Ling to the account, and in a blink of an eye, he had an idea.
"When he was in Luoyang, he admired the demeanor of Lord Situ, this time he led the army from Hedong to return to the north, and he had long thought about coming to Qi County to visit, first, he knew that the Taiyuan Wang family was a famous family, and all the dynasties were all-rounders in civil and military affairs. Second, I have heard for a long time that Master Situ is talented, but he is a real celebrity and a man, and Kabuki in the house is a must, and I want to be lucky enough to have a look. β
Mo said that Wang Gong was dumbfounded when he heard it, even Wang Ling also looked at Lu Bu with a strange look, as if he didn't expect that the young pastor in front of him could speak so straightforwardly.
Wang Gong was stunned for a while, and then he said, "This ......"
"Is there a virtuous brother?"
Hearing Lu Bu look at his youngest son Wang Ling and change the topic, Wang Gong immediately replied: "The inferior son has not yet reached the crown, and he is still living at home......
"Oh?"
Lu Bu pretended to be careless, glanced at Wang Gong, then looked at Wang Ling, and said: "Buzhang and the state, the northern imperial Xianbei, can the virtuous brother have the intention to travel in the army, kill the enemy and defend the land, both to protect the family and the country?" β
Wang Ling's eyes lit up, and he was a little eager to try, and looked at his father Wang Gong with eager eyes, Wang Gong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This, Brother Yun is in Luoyang, and there was a letter asking Ling'er to go to Luoyang after the spring......"
