The sunset shone through the spilling trees, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground, and stepped on the falling leaves, making a rustling sound. Not long ago, General Yingyang, who had just commanded a battle of more than 10,000 people on the grassland and achieved amazing victory, strolling among the woods, unconsciously pressing the joints of the left finger, as if he had encountered a major problem.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually became dark, but Lu Yao was always wandering, as if he had no intention of stopping.

Shao Xu looked at He Yun and gave a wink. He Yun shook his head repeatedly. So Shao Xu coughed, raised the corner of his robe, and stepped into the forest himself: "General, Ding Wenhao just sent someone to report that he was planning to rush to Guangzong overnight. Are you planning to walk with him, or have other arrangements, please decide as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Lu Yao suddenly woke up from his trance. He walked towards the direction where Shao Xu was walking, and waved his hand with a certain attitude: "This matter cannot be delayed, I should walk with Ding Wenhao."

Shao Xu asked: "However, how should we react to Jinyang's actions?"

"Mr. Shao thought what happened to Jinyang?" Lu Yao asked.

Shao Xu shook his head and smiled and said, "I don't want to be an official in Bingzhou."

Lu Yao looked at Shao Xu's face, although he had a smile, he looked deep, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said silently. Both of them understood that Shao Xu was asking how to deal with Jinyang on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to understand whether Lu Yao, who already had considerable strength, was determined to part ways with his former robes and old friends and truly embarked on the road of becoming independent.

This question is not only very critical to Lu Yao. It is also of great significance to Shao Xu. This famous scholar in Anyang, Wei County, once assisted the King of Chengdu to a slight difference from the Supreme. Unfortunately, the fortune is not good, and the difference is ultimately natural. He offended the Duke of Gun of the dynasty and had to retire to his hometown to be an idle farmer. Until several years later, Lu Yao, who also had the background of the King of Chengdu but also had a vague ambition, became Shao Xuxin's choice by chance.

There is no doubt that Shao Xu was even more reluctant to see Dai County being included in the sphere of influence of the Bingzhou Governor, and he had no intention of serving as a subordinate of the Bingzhou Governor!

Lu Yao had very few Chinese officials in the Dai County Military Office, and Shao Xu, Shao Sizu, was the one with the highest status and the most responsible. All household registration, farming, water conservancy, military, business, etc. were almost completely controlled by Shao Xu and his subordinates. Once Shao Xu gave up Lu Yao, the collapse of Dai County's affairs was in front of him. This may be a hidden threat from Shao Xu to Lu Yao, and Lu Yao could naturally hear the string song and know the meaning of elegant.

Lu Yao slowly walked forward until he stood side by side with Shao Xu, and then stopped. His eyes stared into the distance, and as his face gradually turned pale, his eyes became more and more sharp.

Shao Xu looked at Lu Yao with anticipation, waiting for his reply. At this moment, Lu Yao was different from the young general that Shao Xu met outside Jianchun Gate in Yecheng several months ago. The interests of thousands of miles of territory, the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the future and ambitions of hundreds of civil and military generals were concentrated on him, and he was transforming him subtly without realizing it. He would definitely make the right choice! Shao Xu was full of confidence in this.

After a while, Lu Yao whispered: "I don't want to meet Liu Shiren. I will find a way to hold him back before Ding Wenhao and I arrive at Guangzong."

Shao Xu bowed down: "Yes."

Lu Yao knew very well what kind of person he was. Although he was just a small employee buried in files and documents in his previous life; after crossing through time, Lu Yao immediately transformed into a pure warrior. He dared to kill on the battlefield, and instinctively hated the intrigue outside the battlefield. He was not afraid of fighting desperately with the enemy, and was used to the danger of wandering on the edge of life and death, and rejected those chaotic environments intertwined with good intentions and malice, and hated those shameless villains with sweet words. From the military commander to the general, to the general who led the independent army, to the masters who held the military and political power of a party, every victory that Lu Yao took came from a dignified battle. But... the situation in Hebei is like this, and it is not possible to solve by military means. If you rely on force without any other things, would you sit and watch Liu Shiren take the two counties and states of Changshan be taken?

Well, some things do have to be done, but they don’t have to do them themselves. However, some people intend to force themselves, so work hard.

Lu Yao took a step towards Shulin's outsider, took a few steps, and said, "Mr. Shao, I will ask Hu Liuniang and Zhu Sheng to help you, and be sure to monitor the every move of Jinyang Army. In addition, Liu Shiren is very identity, so don't hurt him when we act."

"General, please rest assured. Although Liu Yan is famous, he is just a rich man. It is easy to control it." Shao Xu replied.

He followed Lu Yao closely, and the two walked out of Shulin one after another.

The deep forest gradually could not block the sight. He Yun, who was waiting near the avenue, saw the figures of the two of them, and then shouted and came from the riding horse.

"General..." Shao Xu suddenly called out.

Lu Yao stopped: "Why does Mr. Shao see the teachings?"

"I heard that the general had expressed his ambition to the leader of Hu Dazhai, but unfortunately Shao was unable to be present at the time." Shao Xu walked around a thorny area, stood in front of Lu Yao, and bowed calmly: "Now that the Jin Dynasty is in decline, the treacherous ministers steal their lives, and the chaotic world is obvious. Although Shao Xu was not talented, he thought he could assist the wise ruler to clarify the current situation. Therefore, he would like to hear the general's ambition so that he could determine the means of acting accordingly."

This man is really a smart person, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly. According to what Lu Yao heard in his previous life, the so-called ambition is a concentrated reflection of the world view, outlook on life and methodology. According to the different ambitions he stated, Shao Xu must have proposed a variety of different strategies to deal with the situation in Hebei.

Perhaps because he finally made a decision, Lu Yao felt very relaxed. He thought, how should he state to Shao Xu? Just as he said to Hu Liuniang, showing Huan and Wen's ambition? When the Zhou Dynasty declined, Huan Wen was only a generation of hegemony... Facing Shao Xu's eager expression, Lu Yao suddenly thought with some malicious thought, if he shouted: "I want this heaven to be unable to cover my eyes anymore; if this land can no longer bury my heart anymore; if all sentient beings understand my intentions; if all Buddhas disappear!" This words might shock Shao Xu? Or if I say, "I hope that the people of Jin will become unruly people"? In that case, anyone will think that they are not clear about what they say?

Lu Yao chuckled softly, holding Shao Xu's arm, and slowly said, "What Hu Liuniang said was just a moment of excitement and could not count. I am not afraid of Mr. Shao's jokes. In fact, where can I have any ambitions? When I was young, I thought I was not a well-known man in the cave, and I was afraid that I would be foolish in the country. I wanted to be a county magistrate, like to be a political and educational officer, so that the people of the world could know it clearly. Later, I joined the army, and then I wanted to make contributions to the country to fight against the robbers, and hoped to be a general of the Western Expedition, and then wrote the tomb saying, "The tomb of the General of the Western Expedition, Lu Hou, was my ambition."

"How can the general be a general in the northern border? Could it be..." Shao Xu responded half-jokingly, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He has read classics and history since childhood, and is familiar with the allusions from modern times. He instantly understood who Lu Yao said the words, and even more clearly what achievements this person has achieved in the future!

"General... I'm sure this is true?" he asked in a trembling voice. He climbed Lu Yao's arm with his backhand, and his strength was so strong that it almost made Lu Yao feel pain.

Lu Yao took the reins from He Yun's hand and said frankly: "Of course, take it seriously!"
