Chapter 65: Rotten Rat (3)
Li Yun looked at Lu Yao in shock, only to feel that the young general's eyes were extremely deep and difficult to look at. The various plans hidden in his heart were not secret in this person's eyes.
After a while, Li Yun smiled bitterly and said, "When I was in Bingzhou in the past, I felt that Daoming and Qing Jian had a sense of knowledge, which was very comparable. After a few months, you became more and more...ah, you became more and more smart..." He stomped his feet, suddenly became excited, and shouted: "Daoming, are you willing to stay in Hebei to help me?"
"What?" This proposal was something Lu Yao didn't expect at all, and he was stunned for a moment.
Li Yun showed a eager expression and said repeatedly: "Daoming, I thought about it. You were originally the general of Yamen. I invited Yang Derong and Cai Zini to jointly submit a letter. With Daoming's merits, you can be recommended as a general of the third rank or above... Don't worry, you saved Yang Derong's life the day before yesterday, and he absolutely agreed to this matter."
Yang Derong was the one who was rescued by General General of the Cavalry and Cavalry, Lu Yao escaped from the Wei County prison city. Cai Zini was the chief clerk Cai Ke. In the past, he begged the King of Chengdu to pardon Duke Shiheng, Duke Shilong and other Lu clans. Lu Yao had never seen him for many years.
Li Yun thought for a while and continued, "Of course, our military personnel are just a false reputation. As for their actual position of power... If Daoming is willing to condescend, I should regard it as a brother and be willing to treat the army as deputy two, above Tian Zhen, Tian Lan, Bo Sheng and others. In addition, after this battle, I should reorganize the original Yecheng Defense Army as soon as possible. Even if the old and useless people are eliminated, at least 20,000 new people will be obtained. If Daoming is interested, you can lead these 20,000 people. By the way, by the way! Daoming still has the status of a scholar in Bingzhou at this moment... In this way, if Daoming intends to dominate the country, anyone who wants to live in the jurisdiction can choose any major county, and I would like to recommend you as the county magistrate!"
Li Yun kept talking, saying in one breath, and finally clapped his hands, staring at Lu Yao with bright eyes: "How?"
Lu Yao took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out.
This is the second person who spared no effort to recruit himself after Lu Zhi. The defeated soldiers in the past have become the target of others' strong recruitment, which really makes Lu Yao very honored. In Lu Yao's previous life, it was like a huge leap from a loser who submitted resumes to major recruitment websites to a golden collar who queued up for an interview in major headhunting companies.
But Lu Yao would not really think that he was the kind of talent that was fascinating at first sight. Lu Zhi's promise was just a gesture that he had to show because of the situation. Lu Yao never took it seriously. Since Lu Zhi was looking for an opportunity to escape, he obviously did not expect to be able to cooperate with Lu Yao.
As for Li Yun, his promise must be much more reliable than Lu Zhi. This time, Jisang Shile bandits rebelled, and countless officials in the Three Wei lands were killed, and countless official positions were released. If you get recommended by powerful people, generals, county magistrates, etc., it is not difficult.
However, although the conditions offered by Li Yun were of course very sincere, Lu Yao was not moved.
Lu Yao was on the east trip this time and was responsible for the task specially given by Governor Liu. When he arrived in Yecheng, he would go to the northern border to participate in the ceremony of the Dahan Mountain worship of the Tuoba Xianbei. This is a major matter and cannot be known to Li Yun. If he missed the Bingzhou affairs because of his greed for Li Yun's recruitment, the Qing Dynasty would be ridiculed by the local Qing Dynasty. This would be a huge blow to his fame.
To be ashamed, although Lu Yao is a time traveler, he is not good at science and technology for studying things and learning, and he also asks himself that he has no general idea of helping the world and helping the people. When he dreamed at midnight, he even sighed several times: he came in a hurry and never brought a laptop. In this world, all he could rely on was to understand the general trend of history. Under the huge pressure of the Five Barbarians turmoil in China and the land of China will turn into hell on earth, Lu Yao initially thought of only saving his life. Later, as he gradually gained a foothold in Bingzhou, he could talk about the so-called "ambition". If he wanted to achieve those "ambition", whether it was separatist, he would protect one's own safety, respect the king and expel the barbarians to support the world, or hit the waves and stop flying boats in the middle, they could not be separated from his personal reputation.
The word "fame" is illusory, but it has practical effects.
Only by being famous can one gain appropriate status in the court system; only by being famous can one raise one's arms and call the patriots to follow. Not to mention the distance, only by looking at the three-point period of the late Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's disciples, but they can rank among the heroes, but they rely on the fame they have accumulated over the years?
From the Battle of Banqiao and Jinyang, Lu Yao did his best to fight first, and he was born and died again and again, and then he gradually gained a reputation for being brave and good at fighting. Later, he was ordered to go to Yecheng and northern borders, and Lu Yao also intends to continue to improve his reputation, thus making friends with more talents, and climbing up as soon as possible within the court system to gain greater power. If he loses his hard-earned reputation because of his immediate profits, then wouldn't he bets and efforts would be wasted. Lu Yao really dared and unintentionally did such a desperate move.
Furthermore, when both were in danger, Yue Shigong became more and more courageous, and was in front of the enemy, showing his spirit of Ying; while Li Yun was satisfied with regaining Yecheng and was busy with his own calculations. How clever is this behavior compared to Sima Teng? This makes Lu Yao look down on him. Even though Li Yun treated him as a deputy, Lu Yao was unwilling to be his subordinate.
Lu Yao was silent for a moment, lifted up his robe and saluted Li Yun solemnly.
Li Yun reached out to support him in surprise, but heard Lu Yao say, "Brother Chongde is so kind, and Yao feels so affection in his heart. However, I received the kindness of Liu Governor Jian Ba. When I saw that he was an official in Bingzhou, Liu Governor Liu was the king and father. Therefore, I really dare not miss him..."
"Oh..." Li Yun raised his voice in disappointment and responded. His face became a little darker, and he smiled mockingly: "Yes, I, Li Yun, are just a rough man from the army. How can I compare with a handsome man like Yue Shigong? I believe that I really don't like this. It turns out that I have misunderstood for this matter."
"This statement makes me ashamed." Lu Yao bowed to Li Yun again: "I am going to hide it from you. I am preparing to say goodbye to the general. Since the war in Yecheng has come to an end, it is useless to stay for more people without any concerns. Moreover, Yue Shigong had another task before. If there is no other important matter, we will set off tomorrow and leave Yecheng."
"Oh, is that..." Li Yun was obviously unable to cheer up.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yao was a little reluctant. Li Yun is not a rare hero, and his selfishness is a little bit stronger, but he is indeed sincere in his people around him, otherwise tens of thousands of people would not be able to return. He was indeed sincere in his invitation. Such a person may not be suitable to be his superior, but at least he is a good comrade.
Lu Yao took a step forward and said to Li Yun solemnly: "Brother Chongde, although the bandits of Shi Le retreated, they were surrounded by the wealth of Yecheng, and their strength increased greatly. They would make a comeback with just a little rectification. During the Jinyang war a few months ago, I fought with Shi Le, and I tried all my best to win. This person is well aware of the methods of governing the army, using troops like a handicap, and there is a trend of famous generals... If the time is bound to be a big problem, the general should not be regarded by ordinary bandits."
Others will despise Shi Le, how could Lu Yao? This Shi Le was the talented and powerful man who eventually unified most of the north, Emperor Gaozu of Later Zhao, who was the emperor of Ming, who "gets away from Guangwu and drives him to the Central Plains, and is unknown who will kill him."
He couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Li Yun's eyes showing disapproval, and his tone was rising: "At this moment, the bandits plundered all night and must have been relaxed. Just as the elite soldiers were chasing them, they caught them off guard. It is important to know that Na Shile is good at controlling the imperial troops, so the opportunity at the moment is fleeting. If my brother can..."
"Don't worry..." Li Yun waved his hand and smiled reluctantly, but the meaning of rejection was obvious: "Daoming, don't worry too much. It's all right to not be restrained by others. I will fight against a mere rebel captive with tens of thousands of people. Even if it's difficult to win, I still have confidence in maintaining the situation."
Lu Yao immediately understood Li Yun's thoughts. Since he clearly had no intention of joining hands with him, Li Yun would never allow him to say anything more to the situation in Wei County, whether from the perspective of self-esteem or authority. If he forced himself to persuade Li Yun, he was afraid that things would go against his wishes. He sighed, he hesitated for a few times, and had to do it.
Since they said this, both of them felt unrestrained for a moment.
Lu Yao was silent for a while, said a few words of scenes, and then said goodbye.
