A trace of anger flashed across Lu Gui's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Luo Longsheng, you came to Yongzhou when you were in trouble. We took you in, kept your army, and let you lead the army independently. This time we rescued Jingzhou.
I also asked you to come as my deputy general. You, a military leader, can serve as the deputy general of Yongzhou. Would anyone else have this treatment? Now that my wings are strong, I want to leave. I am not afraid that if I leave Yu Gong again in the future, who else dares to ask for it.
You?"
Luo Longsheng said seriously: "General Lu, please understand one thing first. We are all soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, not some private army. I was also a general of the Jingzhou Army back then, but because of Huan Xuan's usurpation, I don't want to follow him.
, so when the Western Expedition army reached Jingzhou, I chose to abandon the Ming Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty. However, because my station was close to Yongzhou, I surrendered to the governor of Lu nearby. Afterwards, the governor of Lu took me in and kept me in the Yongzhou army.
Instead of following the original regulations of the imperial court, allowing me to return to Jingzhou and join General Liu Yi's subordinates. You can't deny these things."
Lu Gui sneered and said: "This is for your own good. If you had gone back to Jingzhou, I'm afraid you would have been annexed by General Liu Yi. You are lucky to be able to go home and farm!"
Luo Longsheng smiled slightly: "That is the arrangement of the imperial court. We are all soldiers. We must obey the imperial court's orders. Even if we want to go somewhere, we cannot violate military orders and act on our own. Even if the imperial court ordered me to go to General Liu Yi,
I have to obey."
Lu Gui said coldly: "That's because my father, commander-in-chief, did a lot of work at the court to protect you, and even proved that you were not a rebel against Huan Xuan's party, and you did not surrender after defeat, but took the initiative to submit to the court.
This saves you, otherwise you also know how Liu Yi dealt with those old troops of Huan Chu. He wants ordinary sergeants, but generals who lead troops, well, even if they can disarm and return to the field, it is considered good!"
Luo Longsheng nodded: "I admit this and I am very grateful. Therefore, over the years, I, Luo Longsheng, have been doing my best for the court and the governor of Lu. I have suppressed the rebellion in Yongzhou, prepared for Later Qin, and rescued Jingzhou this time.
, When did I fall behind? When did my unit not have the best record and the greatest contribution besides your troops, Major General Lu?"
Lu Gui said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have fought side by side over the years and have become the best comrades-in-arms. We are brothers and sisters. Because of this, I cannot accept that you suddenly want to leave me and go somewhere else! Generals, you are all
People who have led troops and have been fighting for many years, do you think that my mood, this unwillingness to leave Army Master Luo, is a deliberate attempt to embarrass him?"
The generals of the Beifu clan lowered their heads. Indeed, everyone has experienced this kind of sadness when parting from a brother of life and death. If there is a choice, no one wants to have such a day, but if this kind of brother is willing
If you take the initiative to leave for the sake of wealth and a bright future, that would be tantamount to the deepest betrayal.
Tears began to well up in Luo Longsheng's eyes, and his voice was a little choked: "Major General Lu, I will always remember the kindness you have shown me to your father and son. My Luo family, my descendants, will never forget it, but...
Please understand, brother, I and my family have always been in Jingzhou. Now Yongzhou has a strong army and a strong horse, and I am not missing a military leader. But here in Jingzhou, after the monster thieves were pacified, everything is waiting to be done. In the future, Duke Yu intends to remove the entire family from
Wu Di moved back to Jingzhou and settled here permanently. I think that at this time, as a local general in Jingzhou, or a powerful native, it is necessary for me to help the Yu family."
"At that time, our Luo family was originally a large family in Yizhou, and our ancestors also lived as governors of Yizhou in the late Western Dynasty. At the beginning of the Wuhu Rebellion, the Di thief Li Te and others launched an army to attack Yizhou. Our ancestors had nowhere to go.
Being able to live in Jingzhou, I also received the care of the ancestors of the Yu family who were the governor of Jingzhou at that time. If I, Luo Longsheng, received care from the Lu family for ten years, then my ancestors received nearly two decades of care from the ancestors of the Yu family who were out of Jingzhou at that time.
After ten years of caring, now the Yu family is returning to Jingzhou, shouldn’t I repay the favor?”
Lu Gui's face was as dark as water. Only then did he realize that Thorne's actions just now had dug a hole for himself. Speaking of which, it was difficult to have any room for maneuver. Luo Longsheng's departure was inevitable.
, although all this was the original script, but when it came to this point, he suddenly felt a little cheated.
Lu Gui looked at Tao Yuanming and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid all of this was facilitated by Tao Gong and Tao Changshi. You, Tao Changshi, made the connection between them. Military Lord Luo has been with us for ten years, but he has never mentioned anything about the Yu family's kindness."
For example, Tao Gong's ancestor was the famous Kan Gong who once served as the governor of Jingzhou and was famous all over the world. I'm afraid he took care of the ancestors of the Luo family at that time. Are you two big families making an appointment to repay the kindness and service to the Yu family?
"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If we go back a hundred years ago, our family does have a continuous relationship with the Yu family who was the governor of Jingzhou. Although the Yu family was also from outside and had been in charge of Jingzhou for less than twenty years, that was during the reign of King Wang.
After the Dun Dynasty, although the ancestors of the family once controlled the situation in Jingzhou, with the death of Kan Gong, Jingzhou became chaotic and dangerous again. The strong barbarians from the north were always at risk of going south to seize Jingzhou. If the Yu family had not been in charge, I am afraid that Jingzhou would not be in power today.
It is no longer owned by the Jin Dynasty."
"If Jingzhou is not protected, how can we, the rich families, survive? Look at the way the north is being poisoned by the barbarians, and you will know that our future is just like back then. It seemed peaceful after the war, but opportunities and crises coexisted. Now
The monsters and thieves have not been eliminated, Jingzhou is still unsafe, and General Zhengxi was injured by the thieves and is now unable to govern. Although Liu Pushe acts as the military and political agent in Jingzhou, he cannot stay here for a long time. After all, he is the chief minister of the court and holds the position of father-in-law.
The country's political affairs need to be dealt with, so after pacifying the demon bandits, we Jingzhou people must shoulder the important task of protecting Jingzhou and then contributing to the country's Northern Expedition."
Tan Daoji and Tan Zhi looked at each other, a complicated look flashed across their faces, and turned to Tao Yuanming and said solemnly: "The land of Jingzhou has been guarded by important ministers and generals sent by the imperial court in recent years. Even so, Huan Chu's old party
It still exists. After the demon-thief rebellion is put down, Yu Gong may not be the governor of Jingzhou. After all, he is only inspecting the governor of Jiangzhou now. Even if he performs meritorious service in the future, he should take over as the governor of Jiangzhou."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "It stands to reason, but if my lord makes great achievements in the subsequent battle against the demon thieves, he may be able to supervise the military of the two states, and even become the governor of Jingzhou. After all, as a Confucian commander, if he performs meritorious service on the battlefield,
Then it is not a bad idea to split the land and divide the territory in the future. Does General Tan mean to take the post of governor of Jingzhou by saying this?" (End of this chapter)
