Chapter 3 The Way of the Military Attache (II) Two Changes

After sitting down to watch the tea, Wu Lan sent others away and said: "The 30,000 troops in Hanzhong were transferred with a piece of paper, but we refused to send any soldiers when we fought hard. Luo Tianchu said: "Please also keep the matter of our Blood Sword Castle's participation in the war, we don't want to alarm the imperial court." Wu Lan nodded and said: "You can rest assured, only the original three thousand disciples know about you, the eldest brother has already explained to them, and asked Yang Zuoyi to take them to stay in Dasanguan, and there will be no leaks." Luo Tianchu said: "That's the best, I don't know where Wu Dashuai is now, the younger brother has something to discuss with him." Wu Ling smiled: "The eldest brother and I have been away from home for four years, this time I repelled the Jin Bing and finally had the strength to go back to visit, I and the eldest brother took turns to go back, the eldest brother left first, has been away for seven days, presumably tomorrow will be back, the virtuous brother may wish to stay for one night first, you and I will rest as soon as we get drunk, and meet the eldest brother tomorrow." Luo Tianchu said: "It's okay." Wu Xuan said: "His Royal Highness Emperor Ji and Xu also went to Hanzhong with the eldest brother, and Hanzhong will send troops to escort them back to Lin'an. ”

As he spoke, he came to the bookcase, picked up one from the many official documents and letters, and handed it to Luo Tianchu. Luo Tian first saw that the envelope was written in Juanxiu small letters, "Lord Luobao personally opened", and the envelope was raised, as if it was still wrapped in some ornaments. Luo Tianchu opened the printing clay, took out the letter paper and a jade ring, the color of the jadeite is rich and uniform, and you can see that it is the best grade at a glance. The content of the letter is a word of thanks to the Blood Knife Fort for saving her from the sea of suffering, saying that no matter who goes to Lin'an to find her with the ring in the future, she will do her best to help, and the ring is a token.

Luo Tianchu put away the letter and ring, and said: "It is incumbent on me to protect the emperor, His Royal Highness wrote a letter to thank you, and I was flattered by it." Wu Lan smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness is very important to you, as long as you are willing to serve the imperial court, as long as you have the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Emperor, it is easy to soar, but unfortunately everyone has their own ambitions, I won't say much, alas." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Thank you Second General for looking down on us, we are just mountain villagers, we are really uncomfortable with the constraints, I hope to understand." Wu Lan said: "I understand. By the way, have you heard that Yue Fei defeated the Qi soldiers and recovered the six counties of Xiangyang?" Luo Tianchu said: "I have heard of it, and I am here for this matter." Wu Lan said: "It is said that after Yue Fei took the six counties, he abolished all the harsh policies of the Qi State, greatly reduced taxes, and the people in the southeast region worshipped him as a god, worshiped him with incense every day, and called him 'Grandpa Yue'." The military discipline of the Yuejia army can be described as a model for the whole army, 'freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without taking prisoners and robbing', and not taking a single grain or money from the people. How can such a disciplined army not be victorious. Luo Tianchu sighed with emotion: "Yue Fei is really a masterpiece." ”

Suddenly, someone outside the door sighed: "This is also where Yue Fei is not smart enough. As he spoke, Wu Jie stepped in. The two were surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet them, and after greetings, Wu Xuan said: "Brother, aren't you going back tomorrow, why did you come back early." Wu Jie said with a smile: "You look at the newly transferred soldiers outside, the military discipline is loose, the battle formation has been neglected for a long time, and the monk was handed over to them for defense, how can I rest assured, so I hurriedly came back to train them." Luo Tianchu said: "What does it mean that Wu Jiedu said that Yue Fei is not smart enough?" Wu Jiedao: "The Jiedu envoy is called by outsiders, so you can call me Brother Wu." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The handsome man is an elder, and he doesn't dare to lose his sense of proportion." Wu Jie said with a smile: "You and I are comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death, and we treat each other with all sincerity, why not be called brothers, who said that you must be the same age to be a brother? ”

Wu Jie smiled: "That's right. When I say that Yue Fei is not smart enough, I don't mean that he fights, if he fights, Pengju can be described as the best general in the world, but he only wants to serve the court, he doesn't understand politics, and he inadvertently commits a lot of taboos in the official family. Luo Tianchu said, "Huh?" and said, "I would like to hear the details." Wu Jiedao: "The first taboo is that Yue Fei is too popular, and I believe that soon not only the people in the southeast will admire him, but the people of the entire Song Dynasty will worship him like a god." If a general like him with a heavy army has the hearts of the people, he will have the conditions for rebellion, and the official family will not be worried?" Wu Lan and Luo Tianchu's faces changed color at the same time, and Wu Lan said: "Big brother speak carefully. Wu Jie said: "Lord Luobao is his own brother, so he is not in the way. Luo Tianchu said: "Yue Fei recovered the territory, loved the people like a son, and asked for his life for the world, it is reasonable for the people to be grateful to him, and the official family will not be so narrow-minded." Wu Jiedao: "The monarchs of the past dynasties have always regarded the generals with heavy troops as a double-edged sword, using it well to open up the territory, the country and the people are safe, and it is not good to raise tigers for trouble, and the soldiers are in trouble, so the monarch is very jealous of these generals, and the generals are also cautious, for fear that the monarch will be suspicious, and take the initiative to hand over the military power after the war to show loyalty." Nowadays, the confrontation between our DPRK and Jin Qi is a protracted war, such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Brother Yu are all generals who rely on the official family, although they do not need to hand over military power, but they must be very careful in their behavior. ”

Luo Tianchu said: "It's not that I'm disrespectful to the official family, but the spirit of the official family today is really far worse than that of Tang Taizong, and Song Taizu." Wu Jie said with a smile: "Brother is telling the truth, but brother, you must know that Tang Taizong and Song Taizu are both immediately the emperor and commander, and they have won the hearts of the army and the people, and they can shock their generals." And today's official family is the only prince who survives after the Jingkang disaster, if there is no Jingkang change which round of him to be an official, to put it bluntly, his throne is not justified, the change of Miao Liu is a lesson from the past, so he is most afraid of the rebellion of the generals. ”

When Wu Jie spoke, Wu Ling kept paying attention to the window, for fear that someone would eavesdrop, so he wiped his cold sweat and said, "Big brother, if you spread this, you will be killed." Wu Jie said with a smile: "There are only three of you and my brothers here, what is there to be afraid of, men don't discuss the general trend of the world together, so what else do you say." Luo Tianchu sighed with emotion: "It turns out that there are so many ways in officialdom, but fortunately, there are no officials." I don't know what other taboos Yue Fei has committed?" Wu Jie said with a smile: "The second taboo is that he is an honest official, not close to women, let alone flattery, and befriending the powerful. Luo Tianchu was surprised: "This is the true character of the general, and the official family should appreciate it." Wu Jie sneered: "If the water is clear, there are no fish, brother, have you heard the story of "Wang Jian self-defiled"?" Luo Tianchu shook his head. Wu Jiedao: "The King of Qin ordered Wang Jian to pour 600,000 troops across the country to crusade against the Chu State, and the King of Qin personally saw him off to Bashang, but Wang Jian asked the King of Qin for a good land and a mansion, and the King of Qin immediately agreed. Wang Jian wrote to the King of Qin five times during the march to ask for good land, and the generals of the army were puzzled and did not understand when the old general had become so greedy, and Wang Jian explained that the King of Qin was suspicious, and only in this way could he dispel suspicions. Yue Fei regards wealth as dung, and the official family will only suspect that his ambition is 'ambitious', so he will be even more taboo, understand. Luo Tianchu suddenly said: "I see." Wu Jie said with a smile: "There are many generals in the dynasty who are following the example of 'Wang Jian self-defilement', such as Han Shizhong, who built a mansion in Lin'an, and the official family not only did not blame him but gave him three, which shows the intention of the official family." As for Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others were originally greedy, and the official family was even more at ease. ”

Luo Tianchu said: "Big brother, you are also a general who sits on one side, but you are an honest official, and your sleeves are clean, aren't you afraid of the suspicion of the officials?" Wu Jie laughed and said: "Brother, you really make the foolish brother ashamed of saying this." Luo Tianchu said: "The younger brother doesn't know the depth of his words, and I hope to forgive me for offending my brother." Wu Jiedao: "The foolish brother is also a person in the officialdom, and he is also not exempt from vulgarity, the virtuous brother doesn't know that the foolish brother has twenty-eight concubines in Han." In fact, those concubines are either orphans or poor women who have been deceived into the Qinglou, and accepting them as concubines is also considered to accumulate virtue and do good. But outsiders say that Wu Jie's is a womanizer, and I don't bother to distinguish it. This time, the official family sent ten beauties from Lin'an by canonizing the foolish brother's official, and the foolish brother accepted it calmly and made a look of gratitude to the official, so as not to make the official family suspicious. Luo Tianchu sighed: "I didn't expect the official road to be so profound and complicated. Wu Jie smiled meaningfully: "Although the official road is treacherous, if you are familiar with this way, it is also fun." (To be continued.) )
