Chapter 18 Begging for Life (1)
The next day, Lu Yao also waited at the Doctorate's Mansion in the early morning, but he was still sent back before he could enter the mansion.
Lu Yao was turned away for two consecutive days, and everyone from Ding Miao was not angry. Lu Yao comforted them one by one, and spent a lot of effort. At the moment, he naturally understood that the new General of Yue Shigong was already a powerful local vassal with great reputation and popularity, and he could be regarded as a representative of Yue Shigong to some extent. Zhou Liang, this guy, was brave enough to humiliate the envoy of Bingzhou? This embarrassment might have fulfilled the wishes of King Xin Cai, and it was not just Zhou Liang who was rude.
On the third day, Lu Yao was still waiting outside. The janitor seemed to have made up his mind and refused to inform Lu Yao. Lu Yao didn't say much to him and waited for him. He was good at qi cultivation and strong physical strength, so he only regarded this as standing in a stance every day to practice.
It was almost noon, and the sun was a little fierce. Lu Yao stood against the shade in the corner of the wall, half-closing his eyes to sleep. At the moment of his leisurely thoughts, someone suddenly heard someone say in surprise: "Is it Lu Daoming who is standing there?"
The sound was very familiar. Lu Yao looked up and saw a strong military officer not far away swaying from the stirrup and strode forward. He was a colleague of the Bingzhou Army, who once led his soldiers to escort Li Yun, the captain of the King of Jingling County.
Li Yun took a few steps to Lu Yao, climbed onto his shoulder and shook it hard a few times: "Hahaha, haha, Daoming, it's really you!"
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Prince Li, long time no see." Li Yun treats people sincerely and has the ability to use troops. When they were under Sima Teng in the past, the two had some friendship. What's more, a few months ago, Li Yun led the fierce soldiers to arrive in time and save Lu Yao's life. Lu Yao naturally had a good impression of him.
Li Yun smiled and said, "Daoming, after leaving Funiu Village, I will not see you for a short time. I often think of you... I heard the travelers who came and went to Yecheng that during the Jinyang War, there was a brave general named Lu Yao, who broke into the Huns' army alone and killed the champion general Qiao Xi... I also heard that Lu Yao had a lot of wisdom and burned tens of thousands of people in the Huns! Haha! How mighty! So evil!"
Lu Yaowei never thought that his reputation had spread outside Bingzhou. Li Yun's repeated praise made him a little embarrassed, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Li Xiaowei, the village women and fools spread rumors, how can they believe it? It's just that he won several battles by chance, which was because the governor Liu was the proper military use..."
Li Yun patted Lu Yao on the shoulder: "Why should you be so hiding? Our old brothers in Bingzhou defeated the Huns and became famous all over the world. I, Li Yun, are so happy!"
It can be seen that Li Yun was indeed happy from the bottom of his heart. He shouted loudly and his voice was loud, which made many people in front of the Doctorate's Mansion look at him. Lu Yao felt even more embarrassed and said no to thank him.
After saying a few more words, Li Yun took a step back and looked at Lu Yao's clothes, and suddenly said suspiciously: "Your outfit is very eye-catching. Have you changed to go to the dance and writing?"
The man who came with Li Yun was a military officer who was about forty years old. He was less than four feet tall, but his body was very strong, with his shoulders particularly wide and powerful, and he was obviously a fierce general on the battlefield. He smiled and interrupted: "General, this is not a place for chatting. You may as well find a restaurant and sit down and talk slowly."
Li Yun slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, Lao Bo is right. I've neglected, Daoming, let's follow me!"
Lu Yao looked at the Doctor Ling's Mansion and hesitated: "Person Li, I want to invite Zhou Ling today..."
"What do you think of Zhou Liang?" Li Yun snorted coldly: "Daoming, because of his previous escort to the county lord, Li has been promoted to General Yangwu, and is quite good at speaking in front of King Xincai... If you have anything, I will do it for you and keep it in mind. Wouldn't it be better to find that killing ten times more! Come on!"
Among the Bingzhou generals under Sima Teng's former command, Li Yun's personality was most introverted and deep; not to mention that his official position was lower than that of Bingzhou generals such as Nie Xuan and Chen Yong, so he didn't speak much and was very low-key. However, when he met this time, Li Yun's speech seemed a lot more ostentatious. Obviously, the last time he escorted the Lord of Jingling back to Luoyang, he had a lot of benefits. Now, whether it was status or real power, he would not be able to get back to Wu Xia Amon.
Li Yun pulled Lu Yao away without saying a word. It felt like he was hijacking in the street.
The three of them were almost at a restaurant in the south of the city. They ordered some steamed cakes and then called wine to drink.
Li Yun first introduced the middle-aged officer who was traveling with him: "Daoming, this is my deputy, Bo Sheng, one of the five captains of the Qihuo Army."
"Beg for the Living Army?" Lu Yaoqi said: "Is this a newly established military call by the imperial court?"
"When King Xincai came to Yecheng east, more than 20,000 households of Bingzhou officials and civilians fled, and fled to the Wei County, Guangping and Yangping, the three Wei areas called themselves "begging for life", and they wanted to struggle to survive in troubled times. Later, King Xincai chose the strongest ones to join the army, and led the five lieutenants including Tian Jue and She Ting, and were led by General Li Yun, and called the Qi Huo Army." The middle-aged officer named Bo Sheng replied.
His conversation was quite elegant, but his accent was a bit strange, and he seemed to have a very accurate pronunciation. Lu Yao couldn't help but look at him more.
Li Yun laughed and said, "Daoming, the lieutenant Bo is a descendant of Wuhuan. He has served in the court for generations since Emperor Wu of Wei. When he was in Bingzhou, he was a warrior in the army. However, the luck of the times was good, and he was always inferior to the subordinates. Therefore, Daoming did not know it."
"It turned out to be a family of generals. The Wuhuan of the six counties has been called the world's famous cavalry for a hundred years. Lu has admired him for a long time." Lu Yao bowed his hand and said politely, then smiled and said, "The elites of Bingzhou in the past are now all in the hands of General Li. You can claim that people can get the position and the position is the same."
The Chinese-style Hu people like Bo Sheng sometimes pay more attention to etiquette than ordinary Han people. After hearing Lu Yao's praise, he bowed back to the courtesy. Although he was a warrior, his actions did not appear crude at all, but instead had a heroic spirit. Those who could stand out among the tens of thousands of exiled military and civilians in Bingzhou were indeed not ordinary people.
Lu Yao's little compliments also made Li Yun feel a little satisfied. He poured a bowl of wine for Lu Yao: "Don't learn from the literati's sourness and deeds, let's talk about the situation after leaving."
Lu Yao had nothing to hide, so he talked about his experiences over the past few months.
When he detailed his story of joining the command of Duke Yue Shi, charging into battle, and repelling the partial Xiongnu army, Li Yun picked up the wine bowl and drank three large bowls in a row. He waved his hand and wiped his beard with a dripping wine, laughing and said, "Happy! Happy! We martial artists should be like this!" When Duke Yue Shi was not afraid of the danger, a song of the hushi shocked the troops, Li Yun even praised and slapped the table.
After sighing for a long time, Li Yun and Bo Sheng looked at each other and sighed: "If His Highness Xin Cai had the three-point courage of governor Liu, it would not have been...ah..."
Any brothers from the Bingzhou Army who used to be the robbery were probably disappointed with Sima Teng's incompetent actions that day. This time, Li Yun met with Lu Yao's old friend, and after a few words, he turned to this point again.
Lu Yao could only talk about him. Now he is no longer a subordinate of King Xincai, and he is also an envoy who came to pay homage to King Xincai by the order of Lord Yue Shi. He really doesn't have much to say about this.
But Bo Sheng was afraid that he would drink a few more cups and said with a red face: "General Lu had to use it for the Duke of Yue Shi, so he would be in the pocket of the cone. He would stand out for a long time. It is a blessing. We were afraid of the invasion of the Huns and came to Yecheng with King Xincai. Now that we think about it, I really regret it!"
Even Li Yun felt a little abrupt when he said this, so he raised his bowl and said, "Drink and drink!"
At that moment, the three of them were talking while drinking. Lu Yao was always shallow, but only touched his lips; Li Yun and Bo Sheng were both good at drinking, and their emotions became more and more intense. Lu Yao also mentioned that he had become a scholar with the Qingyan of Yue Shigong, and was appointed as a Sima of Pingbei. Li and Bo were both envious. After all, for pure martial artists, a miscellaneous general like Li Yun came to an end. Unless he was converted to a civil service, his career would reach a new starting point. From then on, the prefecture, county, and pavilion were all irresistible.
After chatting for a while, Lu Yao said that he was ordered to pay homage to King Xincai, and wanted to ask King Xincai to use military funds to aid Jinyang in view of Zhao and Wei's mutual lip. Li Yun burped and sighed heavily: "This matter... cough cough... I think King Shi of Yue is a mistake. Daoming, don't you have to rely on anything..."
