Chapter 116 Entering Xiangyang, the waves are about to rise, and the princes of the country exchange gifts
Although the northern frontier was full of conflicts on the surface, because Xiao Feng needed to renew the entire internal contradictions, he did not move and waited quietly for the time to come.
As for Mongolia, on the one hand, it was caught in the contradiction between Mongolia and Han, because of the invasion too much, and did not fully grasp the territory of the Central Plains, leaving many hidden dangers, not to mention that there was a Chinese army next to it, which made Ali Buge very bored, so he had to start to solve the governance matter first, and solve the Han army that had been entrenched for a long time, so there was no hurry to use troops.
However, in the southern Song Dynasty and the Huaxia government handover area, especially near Xiangfan, although it is a harmonious and prosperous era on the surface, there are a lot of waves under the calm water.
No, just today, the officer corps led by Duan Ling and Zhou Yu also arrived in Xiangyang.
The officials of the Song Dynasty led by Lu Shikui had also been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, waiting for the arrival of everyone, and seeing the hundreds of people coming towards him, Lu Shikui's eyes gathered slightly, and fell on a young man at the front.
This young man was nine feet tall and about thirty years old, and because he had a beard under his cheeks, he looked a little old-fashioned, and it was Duan Ling, the leader of the officer corps sent by Duan Feng.
After the previous battle in Handan, Duan Ling also faded away from his former youth and impulsiveness, and became more calm. ,
When he saw Lu Shikui standing in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I'm really sorry for bothering you to wait here." Just look at this extraordinary bearing, is he the son of Wei Guogong? When I see him today, it is really worth the trip!"
"It's down there. ”
Lu Shikui nodded quite reservedly, and then complained: "It's just that you have come from afar, you must have worked hard, and please enter the mansion to rest." How?"
"It's nature. ”
Duan Ling smiled and stepped into the city gate first.
Immediately after, Zhou Yu also took the rest of the officers and walked towards the Weiguo Mansion together.
Walking in Xiangyang, Duan Ling looked sideways, but saw that on the streets on both sides, there were no people walking, and he couldn't help but feel surprised: "Brother Lu." In the past, I had heard that the Southern Dynasty had always been full of people and abundant products, so why did I walk on this street but not see a human figure?"
He is familiar with himself, and he is quite familiar with Lu Shikui, but this is much better than Zhou Yu.
"Alas. Isn't it to avoid some surprises?"
Lu Shikui explained: "You also know that my Xiangyang is close to Mengyuan, and there are often bandits who come from the north and break into the rich in the city to commit evil. This month alone, there have been two incidents. In order to avoid disturbing you by the bandits, this is the only way to do this. ”
"So that's it?"
Duan Ling sighed slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, even if it is within my court, there have been a lot of troubles in these days. It seems that it is not an easy matter to restore peace to this world. His eyes turned, but he stared at Lu Shikui, and his words pointed out: "It's just Brother Lu, what do you think you have to do if you want to restore peace in this world?"
"This. In my opinion, as long as the internal righteousness of the monarch and the law of the ministers, and the name of the country's prestige externally, the world can naturally be healthy. ”
Lu Shikui responded, and didn't understand why Duan Ling asked, so he responded casually, so as to prevaricate.
"That's it?" Duan Ling was a little disappointed and continued to probe it.
Lu Shikui replied: "Isn't it? Just looking at Brother Duan's appearance, he doesn't seem to be very satisfied. But I don't know what Brother Duan thinks, how can we make the world healthy?"
"This. Of course, it is to chase the Tartars from the north and unify China, and only in this way can China be restored to its health. Duan Feng said with a fiery face, only when he said this, did he reveal his ambition.
Lu Shikui was secretly frightened, and asked in a low voice: "Is this too much? You must know that this world is so chaotic, and it is already difficult for us to maintain peace on one side, how can we seek to drive the Tartars from the north and unify China?
This Huaxia army really has the intention of unifying Shenzhou.
"Arrogance?" Duan Ling didn't care, and opened his mouth to reply: "As soldiers, we should take it as our responsibility to help the world, and in the face of this conflicting world, we should stand up and turn the tide, how can this be called arrogance?"
Lu Shikui was speechless for a while, so he had to close his mouth and say silently in his heart: "Alas. I just knew I didn't answer. ”
The pace quickened, Zhou Yu caught up with Duan Ling, cut his ear and said, "Don't you think what you said is too much?"
"Is it too much? Why don't I think so?"
Duan Ling snorted lightly, not feeling that he had done anything wrong at all: "I'm just testing it." Let's make sure that this man can really be our enemy. Just looking at his performance today, it's disappointing. This kind of person can become our opponent?" he did not hide his disappointment in the slightest.
Zhou Yu sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Not everyone is like you. And you don't have to look at it, this is Xiangyang, there are enemies everywhere, we should be careful here, we can't fall into the other party's trap. Got it?"
"Okay. I understand. ”
Duan Ling had no choice but to resist the impulse in his heart and replied.
They came this time to shoulder the responsibility of communication, on the other hand, they also had the purpose of temptation, if they showed themselves too strongly, they were afraid that they would also show some flaws, which was also a little bad for Duan Ling and the others.
While talking, Lu Shikui also led a group of people to the front of the Weiguo Mansion.
He stepped forward, pushed the gate open, and said to the crowd, "All right." This is the Patriotic Mansion. And my father is waiting for you here. ”
Duan Ling's body was stunned, but he felt that in the self-defense of the country, a strong force rushed to his face, even if he mentioned a true yuan, he also felt that the whole person seemed to be pressed under the mountain, and he couldn't escape at all.
"Is this momentum the one that Wei Guogong has? When I saw it today, it was really strong, no wonder even my father was careful. Duan Ling was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down: "Duan Ling, the head of the Third Special Operations Regiment of the Eastern Group Army of the Xiaxia Army, has come to meet Wei Guogong and asked Wei Guogong to meet him." ”
"Since it's Duan Feng's son, let's come in!"
A deep voice came, and Duan Feng felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly loosen, and his body became much lighter.
Duan Ling straightened up at this time, but he thought in his heart: "This guy, didn't you hear what I said outside the door, so you specially gave me a dismount?"
This person is none other than Lu Wende, the supreme governor of Xiangyang Mansion.
Lu Wende smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked his eyes up and down from Duan Ling, and said: "In the past, I once met your father, and I was shocked at the beginning, and I wanted to invite this person to the court as an official. It's a pity that your father is willing to be mediocre and subordinate to others, which is a pity. But that's it, I didn't expect that after seeing his son today, I realized that this is really a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and it is really surprising that he gave birth to such a son as you. ”
"In terms of talent, my lord is higher than the sky, and of course he can recruit talents. It is an honor for us to be able to become the lord's minister. After Duan Ling heard this, he immediately felt a burst of displeasure.
After all, in Lu Wende's words, it was clear that he had damaged his father, and he even belittled his father-in-law.
But there is no way, if it is about the title, Lu Wende, as the Duke of Weiguo, is only a little lower than Xiao Feng, but it is much better than his father who does not have a title, which led Lu Wende to say this.
For Lu Wende, who was born as a traditional scholar, there is nothing better than to worship the king.
Lu Wende's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was surprised by Duan Ling's performance: "Ha." I'm just joking, and there's no need for my nephew to be so angry. Then he took off a wrench on his wrist, instructed the people around him to give it to Duan Ling, and then complained: "This is a wrench I carry with me, and giving it to you today will be regarded as atonement." Is that okay?"
"Thank you, Wei Guogong. ”
Lu Wende behaved like this, of course Duan Ling couldn't refuse, waved his hand to the person behind him, and immediately someone walked up with a wooden box. Duan Ling took the wooden box, Ran Hu handed it to Lu Wende, and complained: "This is my father wearing a gun, this time" A deep voice came, Duan Feng felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly relaxed, and his body became much lighter.
Duan Ling straightened up at this time, but he thought in his heart: "This guy, didn't you hear what I said outside the door, so you specially gave me a dismount?"
