Chapter 122 The Horse (End)
Xu Run vaguely remembers that Lu Ji and his brother Lu Yun entered Luoluo during the Taikang period and became famous for their literary rhetoric. In the next decade, the two brothers served as officials, both of whom became commanders of Chengdu King Sima Ying, and finally died of defeat. Lu Yao was one of the young children of the Lu family who came to the north to travel with Lu Ji. After the Lu family was killed, he always moved in Bingzhou. How could he be related to the great rebel Chen Min who shook half of the Jin Dynasty for several years?
"What's the matter?" Liu Kun laughed to the sky. Only then did he show a bit of a majestic style, his laughter was as heroic as a roar, shaking the mountains and forests: "What's the matter? Hahaha... Zhonglang, you don't know the clues. Chen Min is just a minor official who started his business in the granary. How could he really have the courage to fight? This person is just a puppet. He gave him a steady stream of support behind his back, and ultimately made him dare to fight against the Jin court. The four major clans of Lu Gu, Zhu and Zhang in Jiangdong, and the Lu brothers who led thousands of troops under the command of the King of Chengdu and served as important positions in the generals of the army several times!"
Speaking of this, Liu Kun sat up and leaned slightly towards Xu Run.
Xu Run knew that what Liu Kun wanted to say at this moment must be the secret that was lost in the chaos of the kings, so he no longer cared about playing the piano and quickly turned to the front and listened quietly.
Liu Kun continued: "The reign of the Sun Wu regime in Jiangdong is similar to that of the great families. The Sun family claims to be descendants of Sun Wu, but in fact they are purely clinging to the poor, and their family is often disdainful to scholars. Therefore, after they entered Jiangdong, although they were busy with killing for a while, in order to stabilize the regime, they had to compromise with the so-called Wujun Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang, Zhou and Shen, who were known as the two heroes of Jiangdong. It was also with the support of the Jiangdong wealthy family that the Sun family expanded the territory of Nanxia in one fell swoop, and even competed with China, becoming the king and the emperor."
"In the first year of Taikang, when the dynasty was at its peak, Emperor Wu appointed famous generals such as Wang Hun, Du Yu, and Wang Jun to command the army and set up a large army to attack the Eastern Wu, which was as if it were destroyed and the generals were overthrown. In the battle against Wu, the outstanding children of the Southeast Qiang Sect lost a lot and their vitality was greatly destroyed, so they were completely suppressed by our northerners. However, they were resentful and often took the Central Plains as their own words, and they always had the idea of splitting the mountains and rivers again... These strong Jiangdong tribes who were ready to move did not need to wait too long. The civil strife of the kings that began in the first year of Yuankang not only exhausted the vitality of the Great Jin, but also gave them a chance!"
"Lu Shiheng, the father of Lu Shilong's brother, was the former general of the Eastern Wu Zhen Army and the governor of Jingzhou. Lu Kang, the father of Lu Kang, was the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu and the Prime Minister Lu Xun. The two generations of guarding Jingzhou were deeply united with kindness and righteousness, and the legacy continued. Therefore, when Lu Shilong was the vanguard of Chengdu King Sima Ying, the army had not reached the territory of Jingzhou, and the southern army gathered. However, two years later, when Lu Shiheng served as the rear general and the Grand Governor of Hebei, there were no close subordinates in the hundreds of thousands of troops, so he was bullied by the partial generals... Xu Zhonglang, you might as well think about where did those subordinates Lu Yun recruited in Jingzhou go?"
Xu Run frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Kun's expression, and then asked softly: "Can you defect to Chen Min, Lujiang?"
Liu Kun nodded and shook his head again: "After the formation of this private soldier, due to the obstacles of General Liu Hong of Zhennan, this private soldier did not join the war in Jingzhou. Lu Shilong then issued a private order to send it to Guangling as a system. What is the purpose of this move? It is now completely impossible to solve. But soon after, Shi Bing, the general of the bandit Zhang Chang, attacked Shouchun. By chance, this private soldier fought side by side with Chen Min, who was the Guangling branch at that time, and defeated ten times the enemy in one battle, and then joined Chen Min's command."
"Chen Min has a fellow villager with the Lu family, and is quite brave and fierce. He was in danger in the battle against Zhang Chang and Shi Bing, and was invincible for more than 30 battles. People at that time praised him: The sound of gold was louder than the outside of the Yangtze River and was brilliant at Yang Chu. His behavior was vaguely similar to the heroes who founded the country and established the country. Therefore, the people of the Lu family introduced him to famous scholars from Jiangdong Gu Rong, Gan Zhuo, etc. From then on, Chen Min formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Jiangdong gentry, and with the support of the Jiangdong people, he expanded his strength and made a ill-gotten plan."
Liu Kun slightly emphasized his tone and continued: "Lu Yao and Lu Daoming served as the leader of Lu Shilong's recruitment of private soldiers in Jingxiang. He once followed Chen Min to Yangzhou and Yuzhou and made great achievements. He was regarded as one of the few brave generals under Chen Min. He is likely to be an important role in conspiring with Chen Min. Later, Lu Shilong was afraid that the matter would be leaked, which would be detrimental to the two brothers' careers, so he transferred Lu Yao back to his home as a lieutenant supervisor... If it weren't for this, perhaps Lu Yao had already participated in the rebellion that affected half of the country and became one of the well-known traitors in the world!"
"Chen Min has been defeated and died, Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong have passed away even earlier. At the same time, after the war between the kings in the Central Plains, there were many books and books, so this past event was lost. But my brother is now a capable counselor of His Highness the King of Donghai. He can read the information collected from various places in the palace at will, and accidentally infer the situation at that time from some clues. A few years ago, he heard that I defeated the Huns in Bingzhou, and there was a brave general named Lu Yao who made great contributions, so he mentioned this old story in the letter..."
Liu Kun said a lot in one breath, feeling a little tired. He closed his eyes again, and after a moment of rest, he sighed again: "I have praised Daoming's knowledge, military tactics and bravery for a long time, but he is not as good as the ordinary children of the Jiangdong gentry. Until he knew that he had the experience of moving to Jianghuai, he was originally a general with a rich experience, and all this was right. I also thought that Daoming, as a child of the Jiangdong clan, only visited the north after suffering, but did not return to his hometown. Later, this question was solved: In the Jianghuai area, there must be many people who know about Lu Daoming and Chen Min. If he returns to Jiangdong, if he is reported by someone, the Lu clan, which has been severely damaged, is likely to be implicated again. Thinking about this, Lu Daoming is not as good as fighting in Hebei, and looks forward to having a chance to turn things around."
"So that's it..." Xu Run swallowed, then stood up and took the gold-painted bronze wine pot, stepped forward in a small way, and diligently poured half a cup of new wine for Liu Kun: "It seems that Lu Yao is actually a traitor?"
"The word "rebel" is over, but he is indeed not a pure minister of the Great Jin..." Liu Kun was stunned and sighed again. His appreciation and love for Lu Yao was indeed sincere from the heart, so after knowing the story Lu Yao was concealed, he was particularly angry. But the anger had gradually faded over time, and there was only a little regret left in his heart at this moment.
Since Yuankang, the Central Plains have been in chaos. The royal family members have been in conflict. Those who occupy the center and issue orders, those who occupy the center and order orders will die in a row. I don’t know how many. Therefore, civil and military officials often serve as two masters, three masters or even more. For example, Liu Kun himself has served in King Zhao Sima Lun, King Qi Sima Jiong, King Fan Yang Sima Hu, and King Donghai Sima Yue. But these royal families are all descendants of Emperor Xuan and the descendants of the Sima family. No matter how much they fight, they are strictly speaking, they belong to the royal family affairs. Lu Yao was once a subordinate of the great rebel Chen Min, and he must not be equal to the former.
"Lu Daoming and Bingzhou are probably no longer destined to be together. Alas, I thought this person could be a great horse in the Jin Dynasty, but now it seems that he is just a hawk. Even if he has a prosperous career in Dai County, his achievements are probably nothing more than that." Liu Kun murmured a few words and drank the fresh wine in one go.
Xu Run held the pot at the right time and filled the white jade wine cup in Liu Kun's hand, and hesitated: "Wang Pengzu died, Ding Shulun was busy cleaning up the mess in Jizhou. At this time, the most powerful person in Youyan was Lu Daoming. Perhaps, the court would intend to teach Lu Daoming the important task?"
Xu Run didn't care whether Lu Yao was a pure minister of the Jin Dynasty. According to his thoughts, if Lu Daoming only served as an official in Youzhou from now on, he would be regarded as strangers to Bingzhou... this situation would not be bad. As long as this person did not come to Jinyang to block his own wealth, the power road would be. Others would be in charge of that much.
Liu Kun stared at the green wine in the wine cup, but was not busy drinking: "A brother is in the shogunate palace of the King of Donghai. With his deep thoughts, Lu Daoming will never allow him to take charge of high-ranking officials. Jung-Law, please watch it, the hawks are just hawks and dogs, and it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to go hand in hand with the hawks in his life. What a pity... it's a pity..."
