Chapter 442: Lu Zhi's Value
Intelligence brought back by the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion of the Horse Rangers. Zhao Yun frowned, although the lord was also in Luoyang, but Zhao Yun was the direct commander of the Luoyang garrison, and any news about military affairs should be reported to Zhao Yun first.
"What is the specific number of people on the other side? Under what banner? What are the class combinations? Who is the commander with the troops? When to get out of town? As for which direction the troops came from, Zhao Yun didn't ask, where the horses of the Flying Wing Battalion were grazing, Zhao Yun was still very clear.
For these questions, the soldiers who reported the news could not answer, but they hurried back to report after a glimpse, where did they have time to see the details clearly. Fortunately, at this time, the soldiers in charge of guarding the outside line were also coming back soon, bringing more accurate information.
The cleared area was not big enough, and many people noticed that two cavalrymen rushed back one after another, and Ah Niu understood that something had happened, so he walked over to take care of himself.
"What's wrong?"
"Fourth brother, a troop of unknown origin has appeared outside the east gate, numbering about two thousand, and is rushing towards Luoyang City, and there is no more accurate information yet. They weren't too fast, maybe they were passing by. I'll take someone to see it first. ”
"Okay, be careful." Although a certain city lord said to be careful, his expression was not solemn, Ah Niu had full confidence in Zhao Yun's strength, even if the two thousand people who came brought not goodwill but war, Zhao Yun also had enough ability to protect himself and even repel it.
"Wings Battalion, assemble!"
At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion, who were still busy working on the construction site, quickly rushed to Ah Niu and Zhao Yun from all directions, and in just two minutes, the troops in the city were assembled. The soldiers, who had been exhausted from the operation to clean up the ruins, were still covered with sweat and dust on their bodies and faces, but they stood up straight one by one, and the neat phalanx did not make a sound.
A transferred military general came out of the ranks and saluted: "Liang Long, the deputy general of the Flying Wing Battalion, reports to you." The troops are assembled, the flying wing battalion should be 1oo4 people, but it is 981 people, and 23 people are grazing horses outside the city. ”
The establishment of the flying wing battalion is 1,000 people, but in order to enrich the combat effectiveness of the troops and enable Zhao Yun to better control the troops, four transferred generals have also been added, and Liang Long, who is speaking now, is the deputy general designated by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded, motioned for Liang Long to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "There is an unknown force in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, get on the horse at the east gate, go!" With that, he flew on the back of the blue-maned horse, lifted the silver spear that had been inserted in the ground, and rushed away. The cavalry of the Wings Battalion followed up with a swift run under the leadership of a converted general, and even in this situation, the queue remained neat.
A certain city lord couldn't help but sigh secretly: Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the Flying Wing Battalion has made a significant leap in military discipline, mental outlook, and obedience. You must know that when the "1o1 fierce general" Li Jin led the Flying Wing Battalion in the past, this unit already had considerable strength, and Ah Niu had reason to think that the Flying Wing Battalion would become another strong force in Fengxiang!
After turning around, the generals of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City had already appeared in front of Ah Niu.
Although not many people knew that there was a force outside the east gate, as long as they were not fools, they could see that the movement of the Flying Wing Battalion was obviously due to something outside the city, and the two transferred generals were glad that they were not sent out to take the lead. They couldn't help but be a little nervous, and asked a certain city lord, "Should our troops also prepare for war?" ”
"No, let's get back to what we're doing."
A certain city lord smiled, as if he didn't care about the situation outside, which made the generals of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City feel a lot more relieved.
"Well, the situation shouldn't be too strict."
"Ah Niu City Lord is so sure, it seems that we are safe."
So the two went back with peace of mind, and they didn't notice that after a certain city lord turned around, his face immediately turned gloomy. Although Ah Niu is quite confident in Zhao Yun and the Flying Wing Battalion, no one dares to guarantee that he will never be defeated, not to mention that the opponent's military strength is more than twice that of the Flying Wing Battalion, and a certain city is mainly not a little worried, it is obviously impossible!
However, Lu Zhi seemed very determined after knowing what had happened, and said with a smile: "Ah Niu City Lord, don't worry, with Zilong's strength, even against the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu, it is not without a fight." That unit appeared at the East Gate, and obviously had nothing to do with Dong Zhuo. ”
Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi had the experience of fighting side by side, and Lu Zhi had absolute confidence in this young hero who had picked a horn in the army back then.
A certain city lord put Zhao Yun in charge of Luoyang's military. Not only because Zhao Yun is the ace general that Feng Xiang has exposed, but also because of the personal relationship between Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi has an impressive experience in commanding troops, and he is a graceful and elegant Confucian, he can be described as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and it is difficult for a cool brother like Zhou Tai to enter Lu Zhi's eyes, and Lu Zhi is too lazy to take care of people who have "no temperament". Except for Zhao Yun, any of Fengxiang's generals may not be able to get Lu Zhi's approval lightly.
The two have worked together, Zhao Yun is strong in martial arts, handsome, modest, and has the temperament of killing men and women, young and old. Zhao Yun is also very courteous to Lu Zhi, and has already won Lu Zhi's unreserved trust and love, so he almost patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Young man, the future is limitless."
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Zhao Yun and Lu Zhi's cooperation to have a little discordant. Later, even Pang Tong had to admit that the employment of a certain city lord this time was the fundamental guarantee for the realization of the task of rebuilding Luoyang, and the combination of "Lu Zhi + Zhao Yun" was a perfect golden combination!
There has been no sound of fighting or fighting outside the city, and a certain city lord can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
More than ten minutes later, Zhao Yun came back, and with him, there was also a burly general, with a resolute face, a firm nose bridge, and a solemn temperament, all of which showed that this military general had strong strength. When he saw this general, Ah Niu smiled.
"General Cao Ren, it's been hard all the way."
Ah Niu had met Cao Cao a few times, and he recognized it at a glance as Cao Ren, Cao Cao's general.
Cao Ren dismounted and smiled to greet a certain city lord, and when he knew Lu Zhi's name, his face turned solemn and said: "Before leaving, my lord specially instructed him to say hello to the hussar general in the next generation." He also said that the general can go up to the heavens to investigate the people's feelings, and serve as the Taishou of Luoyang, we should also do our best to send some materials to support the reconstruction, but the materials are still behind and have not entered the city. ”
Lu Zhi smiled faintly, "Lu Zhi is no longer a hussar general, if you have to call the position, call me Luoyang Taishou." Meng De had a heart, and General Lao thanked me on my behalf. ”
Cao Ren agreed.
A certain city lord gritted his teeth on the side, "The reconstruction materials were obviously agreed between me and him in advance." Now that he actually said that it was for Lu Zhi's sake, Cao Mengde was really shameless! Of course, these words can only be put in the stomach, and Ah Niu is uncomfortable to endure.
After Feng Xiang received the reconstruction task, Ah Niu sent a thank you gift to Cao Cao, and by the way, he asked people to bring a letter to Cao Cao, euphemistically asking Cao Cao to help with some reconstruction materials nearby. For the sake of the high value of the five hundred war horses and the little noble friendship between Feng Xiang and Cao Cao, Cao Cao agreed in one bite. This is the reason why a certain city lord asked the craftsmen to build more warehouses!
As if he had seen through Ah Niu's thoughts, Cao Ren took out something and said to a certain city lord: "Ah Niu City Lord, this is a document that my family asked for from Yuan Benchu, the leader of the Kwantung Princes' Alliance and the general of the Che Cavalry, authorizing Fengxiang City to rebuild Luoyang, with this document, no one will disturb Fengxiang's reconstruction work in Luoyang." The Che Cavalry General did not intend to issue an official document, but it was obtained at the insistence of my family. ”
The implication is very obvious, "If Cao Cao hadn't helped him get the official document, Fengxiang's reconstruction work might have been reviled as illegal at any time." "With documentary evidence, at least the threat to Luoyang from the Kwantung princes is much smaller.
"Hehe, thank you." A certain city lord doesn't smile at his skin.
After Lu Zhi left, Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "The materials brought here this time are twice the amount agreed between the city lord of Aniu and my family, half of them are to fulfill the original agreement, and the other half are given in front of Mr. Lu. Cao Gong is full of words, he hasn't spoken yet, and he takes advantage of others casually. ”
A certain city lord couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain just now.
Cao Cao's name of "hero" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there are many examples to prove that this title is well deserved, but at the beginning of the rise of Cao Cao in history, he was more loyal to the Han family than the vast majority of people, and more responsible. If it weren't for this, there would not have been a "five-color stick", "assassinating Dong Zhuo", "the first to call on the princes to fight Dong Zhuo", and "when Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, he was the only pursuer". All the qiē all prove that Cao Cao at this time was still a hot-blooded loyal minister dedicated to the Han court and the people of the world.
What a certain city lord is thinking about is, since Cao Cao is still a "decent person", can he take more benefits from Cao Cao in the future under the guise of "national interests" and "all the people in the world"? Will that affect the current good relationship between Feng Xiang and Cao Cao's forces?
For this reason, Ah Niu's classmates were so distressed that Cao Ren thought that a certain city lord was repenting, so he couldn't help but feel very complacent, and said with a smile: "Ah Niu City Lord, as far as I know, there should be other troops sending aid materials in the following period, so it's best to prepare as soon as possible." At least clear the east gate of Luoyang out of a road that can cross the carriage, our transport truck has not yet entered the city. ”
"Anyone else?"
"After the news of Lord Lu's appointment as the Taishou of Luoyang, not only did Cao Gong decide to increase the aid materials, but at least Yuan Yi, the Taishou of Shanyang, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Han Fu of Jizhou, and Tao Qian of Xuzhou, all decided to express their support for Fengxiang's reconstruction of Luoyang with practical actions. I really don't know how the city lord of Ah Niu can invite Lord Lu Zhi. Cao Ren said with emotion.
Ah Niu couldn't help but gasp.
Prior to this, although a certain city lord had extremely high expectations for Lu Zhi. But he only hoped that after Lu Zhi left the mountain, Luoyang would not be attacked by other princes, and that the materials that Feng Xiang had transported from Qingzhou to Luoyang would be intercepted. Ah Niu never expected that Lu Zhi would have such a high appeal among the Kwantung princes! Feng Xiang not only did not suffer from the difficulties, but the princes also took the initiative to send aid materials!
In fact, such a situation is not difficult to understand, and after a little serious thinking, Ah Niu will understand.
Although Lu Zhi had already been dismissed by Dong Zhuo, his reputation in the court and among the people was not affected in the slightest. In the crusade against Dong Zhuo, many of the Kwantung princes who swore to the west were still Lu Zhi's old friends or juniors, even if Yuan Shao, who was promoted as the leader of the alliance, when he was in Luoyang, he had to respectfully salute and give way when he met Lu Zhi, and his qualifications were too far behind.
It was Dong Zhuo who the princes were crusading against, and it was Dong Zhuo who deposed Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi stood with the princes as a matter of course. A person of high moral character like Lu Zhi, even if he does not have any official position and power, is the object of various princes. Although they didn't understand how Lu Zhi could help Feng Xiang rebuild Luoyang, many princes understood that it was time for them to give generously and send charcoal in the snow.
A certain city lord only now understands what a wise decision he insisted on inviting Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi's value is immeasurable! Ah Niu is in a good mood.
"Thank you, General Cao Ren, I really don't know how to thank you."
"You're welcome, it's my honor to do something for the reconstruction of Luoyang."
"Oh."
"It's a pity that we are also in difficulty now, and there is no way to support more supplies, so I regret it."
"Oh."
"I really hope to do something more for Luoyang, but my ability is limited."
"Does the general really want to do something more for Luoyang?"
Seeing the incomparably pure appearance of a certain city lord, Cao Ren immediately smelled the smell of danger, but fortunately, he was not slow to react: "Originally, yes, but only Cao Gong has the right to call the shots, why don't you go back and ask Cao Gong for instructions after unloading the materials?" ”
"Okay, Ah Niu thanked me first. There is no need to be so anxious about the matter of materials, the general and the soldiers under his command have worked hard all the way, and they will let you go back immediately, and Cao Gong will blame Ah Niu for not knowing what is going on. ”
As soon as Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a certain city lord say leisurely: "But what." The general was so desperate to do something for the reconstruction of Luoyang, and Ah Niu could only try to do it. In this case, please clear a way for the east gate to get here, or your carriage will not be able to enter......"
The resolute military general wanted to die on the ground.
