Hearing that Yue Shigong had such thoughts, Lu Yao couldn't help but sympathize with his colleagues who were about to serve as envoys to Yecheng. He had been in Bingzhou for many years. When he was the military leader in the past, he had had many dealings with the King of Dongying. If you know him well, he was really no less than Liu Kun. With Sima Teng's harsh character, how could he be easy to talk to? What's more, Liu Kun clearly sent people to beg for it. Those who undertake this task not only need people to look forward to, but also have to be extremely thick-skinned, and it is difficult to speak out if it is not so.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Liu Kun continue to say, "This is not a corrupt scholar. Well, I want to make you responsible, and I will take Ding Miao as the deputy."

"What...what?" Lu Yao was stunned for a moment and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. To put it in words, the mind was like tens of thousands of grass mud horses trampling by.

After a while, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and argued: "Lord, this is not something that we can do to make money. Besides, his subordinates came from a military corps and had vulgar words and deeds, and they were afraid that they would be laughed at by King Xincai. The lord's shogunate Yinghua gathered in Bingzhou and gathered famous scholars, so why not send one person as an envoy? I am not talented and willing to take on the responsibility of guarding..."

"It's okay." Liu Kun made a decisive move of slashing his palm, obviously determined: "Bingzhou wars are everywhere, and it is time for military personnel to act. Besides, you need to be clear and clear about it, and you don't need to participate in the discussion of the mystery. You are from the Bingzhou Army and you must have some old friends in Yecheng, and you are just right to do it. As for the different paths of civil and military affairs, it is easier to handle. Tomorrow, I will ask the officials to write a letter, saying that you were a scholar who was recommended by Bingzhou for the year of imperial examination last year, and then you will be able to add a position in Pingbei Sima."

Lu Yao was almost shocked when he said this. Yue Shiqian clearly gave a stick first and then gave him a candied date. If Lu Yao was not a time traveler, he would definitely think that the candied date was really sweet and charming, and had an irresistible attraction.

You should know that since the implementation of the Ninth-rank official law of the Former Wei Dynasty, aristocratic families have long controlled the power of selecting officials, and gradually formed a situation where "the top-rank has no poor family, and the lower-rank has no noble family". The children of the high-ranking gentry are often selected directly from the Ministry of Personnel to be elected directly from the officialdom, without going through the examination. However, the main ways for local tyrants, famous clans and the children of the old Wushu clans to enter the officialdom were concentrated in the recruitment and examination of prefectures and counties that followed the Han Dynasty.

Taking the Lu family in Jiangdong, who was born in Lu Yao as an example, Duke Shiheng started his family and served as the Grand Tutor Yang Jun, while Duke Shilong started his family and worked as the governor Zhou Jun. The two Lu were known as "Taikang's heroes" and were famous all over the world. The first step to entering the official career was nothing more than this. The act of "scholars" was even more amazing. According to the system of this dynasty, the governors selected scholars, and the prefect prefect monitored filial piety and integrity. One year, one or two people were promoted to the provinces with millions of people every year. In Lu Yao's memory of this life, only Ji Zhan, Gan Zhuo and others were only a few.

Bingzhou has been in chaos for several years, and Sima Teng, who served as the governor of Bingzhou, was unintentional, so he did not recommend a person to the court last year. Liu Kun intended to use Lu Yao as a scholar last year, so he was so different from his original rank.

In addition, Yue Shigong was the General of Pingbei and had the power to eliminate officials on his own. Pingbei Sima was the abbreviation of Sima of Pingbei General's Office. He was an important subordinate in charge of military and political affairs in the shogunate. He was a core subordinate in charge of the General's Office, and was a core subordinate in the rank of 2,000 stones, and his position was extremely important.

If Lu Yao was to be a scholar, and to be the general Sima of Pingbei... it would be clearly a golden road paved for decades of career in the future. From then on, even if he had no achievements, he would have the opportunity to retire as a minister. This is more than ten times stronger than the military position of a mere general of Yamen?

Lu Yao was finally not knocked over by this gift pack that fell from the sky. The memory of the time traveler clearly told him that in the coming chaos, having soldiers in his hands is the most important thing. Under no circumstances, he was unwilling to relax his control of the army. If this caused him to be transferred from then on to civilian position, it would be really troublesome. So he hesitated for a moment and then bowed: "My lord must do this, but I can only obey my orders. However, I have been in the army for many years and have become accustomed to my military career..."

Liu Kun was stunned for a moment and waved his hand indifferently: "Do this matter first, come back and continue to lead your soldiers."

Lu Yao sighed in a relaxed voice, and then thought of something: "In addition... can the candidates for the deputy envoy be discussed again? Finally, the deputy envoy may be the best person to be a well-educated person. Ding Wenhao is generous and strong, brave and brave, but he may not be his director of the position of an envoy. Moreover, Brother Wenhao is not under my official rank, so Yao really dares not regard Brother Wenhao as his deputy."

Liu Kun stroked his beard and snorted coldly: "Ding Miao is a man who is brave and frivolous and impatient in his military service. He destroyed most of his subordinates after a few battles. This is not what the general does. Letting him serve as your deputy this time is a warning to him. You should beat him well along the way and grind his character without any scruples."

He walked a few steps and said, "Ding Miao followed his father Ding Shao to be my old friend. This Duke was a famous scholar in Qiao State, recommended by Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and was newly appointed as the governor of Jizhou. Therefore, I sent Ding Miao as the deputy envoy, which would be of great use in case of emergency."

So that's it, Lu Yao nodded slightly. He was too nervous just now. Now he thought that he and Ding Miao are now the top-notch generals under the command of Yue Shigong. In terms of courage and fighting, there is almost no third person to compare. Yue Shigong would not transfer both of them to civil servants unless he was crazy.

But... Lu Yao's face suddenly changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "The lord is so kind, Yao is extremely grateful. But... Lu Yao dares to ask, "Ding Miao and I go out together. Could it be that what the lord wants is just asking King Xincai for some leftovers?"

Liu Kun showed a look of praise: "This time, you two are asked to go to Yecheng. In addition to dealing with King Xincai, there is another important thing. Those who are not both wise and brave must not be treated as..."

He pondered for a moment and said, "When Daoming first joined our army, he opposed the public's objections and advocated standing in Jinyang and purging the Huns on three sides to fight against the Huns. Do you still remember those words?"

Lu Yao naturally remembered that at that time, he had only been in Liu Kun's command for a few days, but he had the Lord's eyes added to him and was able to speak in the military discussion where the generals gathered. He recalled a little and said, "There are Hu on all sides of Jinyang... However, Hu on all sides of three sides can be stroked and fixed, and he can be used to maintain it. If the Lord's land in Jinyang, slowly build and restore it, and at the same time, he would be cited and fought against the Huns on the south, he thought that Bingzhou could be established."

"Not bad!" Liu Kun slapped his high fives and stared at Lu Yao: "This time, please do this for me!"

Lu Yao's expression turned to the court and said, "What is the matter of comforting me? Please make an announcement."

"Daoming, do you know the customs of the Tuoba Xianbei to worship the heavens?"

Lu Yao was in Bingzhou for many years. Although he was mainly facing the Xiongnu, he knew about the important customs of the Tuoba Xianbei. He replied: "The Tuoba Xianbei originated from the Donghu and lived in the north of Youdu before the Qin and Han Dynasties. His clan had the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven. It is said that he had dug a large stone chamber on the top of the Daxianbei Mountain to communicate with the gods of the upper realm. Since then, the Tuoba Xianbei gradually moved south to the grassland, and the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven remains and gradually transformed into a powerful means of internal integration of the tribes. In the fourth year of Ganlu of Cao Wei, the great chief Tuoba Liwei sacrificed to heaven in Dingxiang, and all the tribes came to help sacrifice. Only the Bai tribe did not come, so he fought against the Bai tribe and killed all its people. All the tribes were shocked by it."

The evolution of the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven was actually the process of the Tuoba Xianbei gradually moving from the original form of tribal alliance to secularization and feudalization. In this process, the manifestation of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was still there, but its essence was gradually transformed into a political tool to unify all ethnic groups. Tuoba Liwei used the power of sacrifice as a means to initially integrate the loose tribes into a regime, and established the hereditary system of chiefs.

"It's right!" Liu Kun gently stroked Hu Yu with satisfaction: "The ceremony of worshipping the sky in the Tuoba Xianbei is usually arranged in summer, either once a year or once a year. Last year, the conflict between the Tuoba Luguan and the Tuoba Yilu family became increasingly intensified, and the subordinate tribes had clashed many times. To this end, Tuoba Luguan wrote a letter to Yilu, planning to hold the Tuoba Xianbei tribes sacrifice to the sky in July this year in the Takhan Mountain north of Dai County."

Liu Kun continued: "Lu Guan was strong and ambitious. He had planned to unify the Tuoba tribes for decades. But Yilu was not a mediocre person, and had his own foundation. What's more, Yilu led his troops south to help me fight against the Huns, and stood invisibly with the court, which forced Lu Guan not to choose war easily. In this way, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven became the best opportunity. Only by suppressing Yilu on the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven can Lu Guan unified the entire Tuoba Xianbei without bloodshed."

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "For me, Jinyang, we need a friendly Tuoba Xianbei as an ally. Luguan's attitude towards the court is not clear, but Yilu once led the army to fight against the Huns himself, so Yilu is better than Luguan in this regard. At the same time, the court does not want the too powerful Xianbei tribe to rise on the grassland... If Luguan is allowed to get what he wants, and Tuoba Xianbei is in his hands, will he become another Liu Yuan?"

Liu Kun looked at Lu Yao with praise: "The Lu Guan is bound to win the position of the Xianbei Da Shanyu, and there must be many arrangements in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Yilu is not as powerful as he wants to deal with the difficulties. For this reason, on the one hand, I will send envoys to Danhan Mountain to watch the ceremony, and if necessary, control the situation with the majesty of the court. On the other hand, Lu Yao, you will first go to Yecheng to deal with it; then transfer to Xindu to meet Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and use Jizhou's troops to suppress Dai County... Just let go of the specific matters, and no matter what, Lu Guan will not let it get what you want!"

"You can't let Yilu get a cheaper one!" Lu Yao followed with understanding.

Both of them looked at each other and felt a sense of understanding. What the Jinyang regime needed was a split Tuoba Xianbei; a Tuoba Xianbei who was competing for help from the court; a Tuoba Xianbei who could be pacified and raised and used.

Liu Kun laughed: "Not bad! Not bad! Daoming's intentions are in line with me everywhere!"

Lu Yao gave a solemn gift: "Only the leader of the lord horse is right."

The two of them discussed carefully again, and Liu Kun's voice became lower and lower. Lu Yao nodded from time to time, his expression becoming more and more serious.

Seeing the setting sun gradually set, finally hiding in Longshan. After the peaks of Mengshan Mountain, Liu Kun and Lu Yao were still planning to continue. The cool night wind blew past the rifts among the mountains. The sixteen cavalrymen in Zhongshan at the foot of the mountain looked at each other and pulled their cloaks tightly, but Wang Xiu still couldn't help but sneeze.

I've been busy these two days and have been late in the update. I apologize to all readers. The crab has kneeled down.

Ximen Yuntian’s friend in the book review area is complaining that he is still making soy sauce after Chapter 100... This... Crab said shamefully that Lu Yao still needs to accumulate reputation and connections, recruit capable subordinates, and need to climb to a higher position... If this is making soy sauce, he should have to fight for a while. Ah, I’m sorry to readers... Sweat...that, um, there will be many territorial battles, but readers and friends are still asking them to wait patiently...
Chapter completed!
