Chapter 38: "The Class Teacher Returns to Luoyang"
A few days later.
It's the end of April.
In the Guangzong area, the goose feather drizzle slowly sprinkled from the sky, like countless strings of crystal clear pearls, shining with dazzling light.
Between the fields outside the city, as far as the eye can see, there are fragrant peach blossoms, and the smell is refreshing.
"Stomp..."
Suddenly, there was a slightly chaotic march movement, from far to near.
"A curtain of red rain and peach blossoms, ten miles of clear yin and willow shadows."
"I never thought that such a beautiful scenery could appear in this field area..."
An endless 'steel dragon' slowly arrived, and Lu Qi, who was the leader, sat on the white horse, and couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery of the fields in front of him.
And the generals and strategists who followed him smiled silently when they heard this, and they were already accustomed to the amazing brilliance of their lord.
At this time, there is no Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, presumably even if there is, everyone will not think that their master's literary talent will be lost here.
"Lord, the overall situation in the north has been decided, and before I arrive in Luoyang, I am afraid that the deeds of Guangzong will spread all over the world, and the lord needs to make plans as soon as possible."
After Guo Jia took a sip of wine comfortably, he looked at Lu Qiyan with a light smile and said.
"It's nature."
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Qi's mouth curled slightly.
"Guo Junshi, we have won a great victory in Guangzong, the Yellow Turban cholera in the entire north can be said to have almost subsided, and even the Yellow Turban Thief Shou Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao have also bowed their heads, and they have returned to Luoyang with a great victory, presumably the Son of Heaven will also be the guest of honor of the lord, even if this is the case, what else are you going to do, and it needs to be so urgent?"
Zhang Fei, who was riding on the side, was a little puzzled, he and others won a big victory in the north, and after returning to Luoyang, he naturally waited for the reward from the Son of Heaven, and then acted at the opportunity.
“...”
After Lu Qi heard this, he smiled silently, but then he continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery ahead without saying anything.
"General Yide, you only see the surface."
Xi Zhicai, who was dressed in a green robe, smiled and said.
"Oh? I also ask the military advisor to solve my doubts. ”
Zhang Fei was bored on the march at this time, so after hearing the conversation between Lu Qi and Guo Jia just now, he naturally wanted to participate in it, but at this moment, Xi Zhicai's reminder made him even more curious.
At the same time, not only Zhang Fei is like this, but Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are also in the same boat, they are already generals who are good at rushing to the battlefield, and they are still slightly inferior to strategizing, so they are also humble and studious, and they want to listen to the drama to solve their doubts.
"Okay, it's just that there is nothing to do here, so I'll explain it to a few generals below."
Sensing that Zhang Fei and the three of them were all a little confused, but the lord made a look of resignation, Xi Zhicai naturally understood Lu Qi's thoughts in his heart, so he began to explain Zhang Fei's previous questions:
"What General Yide said just now is indeed true, this time we have a big victory, after returning to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven will indeed reward the lord, but these are actually not much important for the lord, and the more important thing is after."
"After that?"
Guan Yu asked with some confusion.
"That's right." After nodding in response, Xi Zhicai continued:
"The overall situation in the north has been decided, but for the entire Han Dynasty, in fact, all cholera has not stopped, such as Yangzhou Jingzhou and other places in the south, there are still a large number of yellow turban thieves, and Zhang Jiao's third brother, Zhang Liang is still alive, this person is naturally like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the heart for the imperial court."
"And for this, the imperial court will definitely continue to send a large army to suppress and even exterminate those Yellow Turban thieves."
After Zhang Fei heard this, he expressed his thoughts in his heart: "Even so, for us, it must be natural that the Son of Heaven will be sent to suppress cholera in various states in the future, and the lord is the commander who deals with the Yellow Turban matter, and the Son of Heaven should be handed over to the lord to deal with the affairs after that, so for us and others, it is equivalent to more merits." ”
"No, the Son of Heaven will not only hand over the matter to the lord to deal with, but will not even let the lord continue to get involved in any edge of the handling of the yellow turban matter in the future."
Xi Zhicai shook his head and denied.
"Why?"
Guan Yu was puzzled:
"The lord has won great victories one after another this time, and at this time he has gathered nearly 400,000 troops, with the strength in the hands of the lord at this time, the cholera of the entire Han Dynasty can be completely pacified in a few months!"
"That's right, at this time, the strength in the hands of the lord can be said to be the best in the world, and there is hardly any yellow turban that can compete with the lord's soldiers, but this is precisely the problem!"
After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, the look in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and when his eyes were not visible, he continued:
"The merits of the lord at this time, as far as the entire Han Dynasty is concerned, no one can influence it, and at the same time, the prestige of the lord is even more like the sky, and almost everyone in the world knows it, and no one knows it."
"However, it is because the lord's exploits at this time are too prominent, so there is such a problem!"
"What do you mean..."
Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were almost enlightened at this time.
"The merit is high!"
Xi Zhicai slowly confided word by word.
"Shhhhh
Zhang Fei and the three of them couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, their minds were also clear.
And after Xi Zhi saw that the three of them had a rough understanding of the situation, he said with a clear eye:
"Therefore, the Son of Heaven will not continue to allow the lord to gain merits, and at the same time, even if the Son of Heaven allows, the civil and military officials in the court will not allow the lord who has just come out of power to climb on their heads like this!"
"Moreover, the lord does have too many troops in his hands at this time, if he leads the army to Luoyang like this, I am afraid that we will not even be able to enter the gate of Luoyang City."
“...”
Zhang Fei and the three of them felt a little dizzy, after all, they had never thought about such a complicated thing at all, for their generals, rushing to the battlefield, gaining merit, and becoming famous all over the world, this is what they want most, and for the so-called politics, they really haven't thought much about it.
And Lu Qi, who had never spoken, smiled softly after seeing that everyone was no longer speech:
"You and the three of you don't need to think a lot, I have an arrangement in my heart here, and when I approach Luoyang, the troops in my hands will not exceed the limit of the official position."
"Led 20,000 troops before, plus more than 200,000 troops in Nanyang, this is because the imperial court already knows the strength of the army, so naturally it cannot be disbanded, and the 100,000 troops accepted by Julu County can be allowed to return on their own later, or spread all over the place."
"After that, I'll go to Luoyang and recuperate for a while."
"It's been a few months of fighting, and it's time for your body to take a break."
Lu Qi looked into the distance, and his gaze was extremely profound.
And Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who heard Lu Qi's words, smiled tacitly, and they already understood their father-in-law's plan in their hearts.
"To disperse troops in various places is to sow more than 100,000 seeds!"
"After that, even if there is really an unexpected incident, it is equivalent to having an endless backhand."
Guo Jia thought to himself with a bright face.
For this lord who is almost the same age as himself, Guo Jia's admiration in his heart is getting deeper and deeper.
"Huh? In that case, after going to Luoyang, wouldn't I Zhang Fei have to be bored for a while..."
When Zhang Fei heard it, he felt bored.
"Haha, General Yide's temperament still needs to be grinding."
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile and said.
"Lord, how long do you think I will stay in Luoyang?"
Guan Yu felt a little regretful that he could not continue to fight the Yellow Turban in the future, but he also knew that this was a certain move.
"How long? More than a few months or even half a year, or as little as a month or so."
Lu Qi shook his head slightly, and then said:
"If the other states have a better situation to quell the cholera in the future, then we can also leave Luoyang."
Guan Yu's eyes flickered when he heard this, and at the same time he seemed to understand and said: "The Yellow Turban matter is like a shackle, before the rebellion in the states is completely over, the Son of Heaven will not let the lord leave, and after it is resolved, the Son of Heaven needs to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and then the lord can continue to act." ”
"Well, what Yun Chang said is correct, you need to read more military books after the three of you, so as to avoid discovering your own shortcomings when you are in charge of any army commander in the future.
"Especially Yide, you have to keep up with Yun Chang, after Yun Chang broke through to the seventh realm before, his personality has become much calmer, but you are still a little reckless."
After Lu Qi glanced at Guan Yu in a little surprise, he knocked Zhang Fei on the side.
Regarding the growth of this 'reckless man', Lu Qi said that he had to explain more.
"Uh..."
Zhang Fei's facial expression paused slightly, and then he whispered:
"This red-faced monster isn't any better than me, right?"
Although the voice was small, for everyone here, it was tantamount to whispering in their ears, and Guan Yu naturally heard it.
"Hmph, you black fat man, do you think a certain knife is unfavorable?"
Guan Yu squinted at Zhang Fei and snorted lightly.
"Oh? What do you mean by this red-faced monster? ”
In this regard, Zhang Fei was naturally not stunned.
“...”
"If you two are idle, read me a few more military books."
The black line on Lu Qi's forehead was revealed, and he really had a headache for these two guys who pinched it at every turn.
"No!"
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who heard the words, hurriedly turned to respond, and at the same time did not dare to continue to fight.
......
And just when Lu Qi led the victorious army on the way back to Luoyang, a letter of victory was like a snowflake falling, speeding towards all parts of the Han Dynasty.
Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.
This is the place where the monarch and the ministers meet.
Emperor Han Ling, who was originally starting the court meeting, frowned suddenly.
"What's going on?!"
"Why did the big man's luck suddenly recover by more than two percent?!"
"Could it be..."
As if thinking of some possibility, Emperor Han Ling's brows suddenly relaxed, and his heart thumped, because he couldn't believe how big this possibility was.
But the luck of the Great Han who had just recovered here was like ironclad evidence, placed in front of Emperor Han Ling, so he had to think in that direction.
"If it weren't for the fact that the civil situation had been decided, it would be impossible for the luck of the Han Dynasty to recover suddenly!"
Emperor Han Ling thought so.
At this time, outside the palace, there were signs of a few days ago, and the horses were hurrying up...
......
