Luo Youdu thought about Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua who had returned to Fugu. He felt a little regretful in his heart. He also thought about having the opportunity to build a closer relationship with them and get closer to them.
The Fugu Zhe family is quite a force.
Thinking about it in his mind, his eyes fell on Li Chuyun in front of him.
This Li Chuyun himself was a rare general. In history, it was he who led his troops to defeat Nanping.
But the really powerful one is his son Li Jilong.
Li Jilong can be said to be the leader of the second generation of generals in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Battle of Tanghe and the Battle of Xuhe, Li Jilong's performance was the key to the battle. He also defeated the arrogant Brother Yelvxiu. It was these two battles that made the Song-Liao War
The situation improved and the old Zhao family saved a lot of face.
It can be said to be a buy one get one free deal.
Luo Youdu sighed: "In these troubled times, loyalty is the most valuable thing. Zheng Guogong guarded the border for the country and did not seek fame or fortune. His sincerity is a model for our generation and is worth emulating."
Li Chuyun stayed with Zhe Congruan for ten years and was deeply influenced by him. He felt the same way: "The last general also told Zheng Guogong that Fugu was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so why not retreat to the Central Plains? Zheng Guogong said bluntly, 'Once Zhejia evacuates, Fugu will definitely be Khitan.
Not to mention surrendering our country to bandits, our family cannot afford to bear such a scandal. As for the tombstones of the 30,000 athletes in Fugu Mountain, we are not allowed to flinch even a little bit. The son of Fuzhou practiced martial arts at the age of seven,
Riding on horseback, there are many people who died in battle at the age of twenty. The family cannot bring down the world, let alone them."
"In the end, I will be able to serve under Zheng Guogong for ten years. I will have no regrets in this life."
Li Chuyun was filled with emotions in his heart.
Luo Youdu was dissatisfied and said: "What does it mean to have no regrets? Although I have not been in contact with Zheng Guogong for a long time, even when he was critically ill and mentally confused, it can still be seen that he is thinking about the safety of Fugu. Now Fugu is isolated from the outside world, surrounded by all directions."
We are all enemies. How to regain the lost territory and reopen the territory between Fugu and Fugu is what you and I want to do. How can we be downcast?"
Li Chuyun was shocked and said: "What the commander-in-chief taught us is..." He looked a little regretful and thought to himself, "It would be great if I could serve under the command of the commander-in-chief."
Perhaps because of his unattractive appearance, his current boss Li Jixun treated him indifferently at first, even with some contempt. But once Li Jixun held a shooting banquet, Li Chuyun hit four shots in succession.
Only then did Li Jixun discover Li Chuyun's abilities and began to favor him in every possible way, even going to court to worship his mother.
Li Chuyun was reused because of this, but Li Jixun and Zhe Congruan were completely different people.
Zhe Congruan is a heroic figure. Even if he has some flaws, he is always impeccable in major matters. Li Jixun is the most common commander in this era. He is selfish and always thinks of his own interests when encountering things.
.
When fighting, what you think about is not how to defeat the enemy, but how to protect yourself and let friendly forces fight, so as to reduce the loss of some of your own soldiers.
After all, in this era, having soldiers gives you power.
Li Jixun has not yet changed from the old ideas.
Li Chuyun was seriously influenced by Zhe Congruan, so he naturally disliked Li Jixun's style.
Li Chuyun had no other choice but to serve under others.
Originally, Li Chuyun was grateful for Luo Youdu's help to the Zhe family. Now after talking with each other, they found that they had very similar ideas, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Luo Youdu could also see that Li Chuyun and Li Jixun were not compatible, and Li Chuyun must have been unhappy, but he did not directly poach people.
This is a skill to pry the enemy's corners, but prying one's own corners is a taboo in the army.
It is unacceptable to the entire military.
But the method always needs someone to come up with it.
After seeing off Li Chuyun, Luo Youdu arrived at the Imperial Camp Division.
The Yuying Division is currently in dire straits, but fortunately it is full of talented people.
The generals include Cao Bin and Pan Mei, the warriors Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, and Liu Fu, and the military officers include Song Qi, Dou Yi, and Zhao Pu, all of whom are famous figures in history.
Luo Youdu first called Zhang Qiong and asked him to go back and talk to his elder brother Zhang Jin in the evening to find out what Li Jixun's hobbies and interests were.
Because he became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Luo Youdu also handed over the power of Kaifeng Mansion.
But just as he thought, the current grassroots officials in Kaifeng Prefecture are all his people.
It is impossible for the successor to completely eliminate it in the short term.
When Luo Youdu asked Zhang Jin for help, it was just a matter of words. He just wanted to avoid suspicion and it was just a little troublesome.
In just two days, Zhang Qiong brought what Luo Youdu wanted.
Li Jixun, a big boss, actually likes tea, and the object of his worship is Lu Yu, the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty.
Luo Youdu suddenly had a plan.
Soon a news spread in Kaifeng that Luo Youdu had a sencha tea cauldron used by the tea sage Lu Yu, which was a gift from Qian Hongchu, King of Wuyue.
With the birth of Lu Yu, drinking tea has become a fashion.
However, with the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this fashion only spread among a few people.
Among them is Li Jixun.
Li Jixun suffered from a strange disease in his early years. He was prone to fatigue, malaise and lethargy. Later, a famous doctor advised him to drink more tea.
After a period of time, Li Jixun found that his condition had indeed improved, so he became obsessed with tea culture and could not extricate himself. He regarded Lu Yu as his savior and would not be happy without tea every day.
Hearing that Luo Youdu actually had the celadon tea cauldron used by Lu Yu in his hand, he immediately felt itchy.
It's just that he only met Luo Youdu a few times, and he couldn't keep his face down for a while. He came to the door to harass him, and he got angry and got sores on his tongue. No matter how much tea he drank, he couldn't suppress it.
Finally I couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Shi Shouxin to hand over the greeting card.
Luo Youdu waited at home for five or six days, but there was no news at all. He secretly muttered to himself that the rumors could not be wrong.
This guy doesn't like tea that much? He doesn't worship Lu Yu as the legend says?
It wasn't until he received the invitation that Luo Youdu felt relieved and invited Shi Shouxin and Li Jixun to the living room.
Li Jixun sat solemnly.
Shi Shouxin did not regard himself as an outsider. He looked here and there and couldn't help but said: "Brother Luo, your living room is too shabby. Not to mention swords and weapons, there must be a few calligraphy and paintings."
Luo Youdu responded: "That makes sense, I will write a few more later."
Shi Shouxin was speechless for a while.
Luo Youdu looked at Li Jixun and said: "I heard that the general likes to drink tea. I happen to have this year's new tea, Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoot Tea, here. The general comes to taste it."
Li Jixun was originally a governor of Sancheng in Heyang, but due to his achievements in the battle of Huainan, he was promoted to the general of the left-leading army.
Historically, because he cherished his soldiers, he was severely defeated by Zhu Yuan and was demoted again and again.
Now thanks to Luo Youdu, the battle situation has been greatly changed. With the help of Li Chuyun, he has made great achievements.
However, Guo Rong also saw Li Jixun's old-school Jiedushi style and gave him a false title.
Li Jixun opened his mouth and said: "Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots are the best in tea." Zhang Wengui even wrote a poem: "The phoenix chariot comes back half-drunk from seeking spring, and the fairy enters the water to open the curtain. The peonies laugh and the gold sparkles move, and they play the music of Wu Xing
Here comes the purple bamboo shoots. But there are five kinds of purple bamboo shoots in Guzhu, but I don’t know how many grades the commander-in-chief has."
Luo Youdu saw that Li Jixun, an old man, was writing poems freely. He knew that he really loved tea and did not dare to be careless. He seriously used the skills of making tea that he had learned from Zhou Zong in an emergency.
This kind of arty thing is something celebrities like Zhou Zong who cherish their reputation are most familiar with.
Even the tea set in his hand and the tea leaves from Gu Zhu Zisun were begged from Zhou Zong.
When Li Jixun saw Luo Youdu's expert skill in cooking tea, he was delighted and said, "The Tongjun are really like-minded people." He paused and said, "I heard that the Tongjun obtained a rare treasure during their southern expedition?"
Luo Youdu said in surprise: "What kind of strange treasure? How come I don't know about it?"
Li Jixun thought he was stingy and did not want to show it to others, so he said: "This is the celadon tea cauldron used by Jing Lingzi. Don't worry, the commander-in-chief. I just want to broaden my horizons and will never take away the love of others."
He guaranteed it.
Jing Lingzi was the account used by Lu Yu.
Luo Youdu wondered: "What kind of treasure is this? It's right here!"
He said, pointing to the celadon tea cauldron roasting on the fire in front of him.
Li Jixun was dumbfounded. He looked at the celadon tea cauldron burning on the fire in horror. He pointed at Luo Youdu and then the celadon tea cauldron. He was speechless with excitement.
Waste of natural resources, cows chewing peonies...
That kind of word flashed through my mind, but I just couldn't say it out.
Luo Youdu looked at Li Jixun in surprise.
Li Jixun took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Is this how the unified army treats the sacred objects passed down by Jing Lingzi?"
Luo Youdu looked even more weird: "Isn't this tea set just for making tea? Is it possible that you still come to offer it?"
"Of course I have to offer it!" Li Jixun said excitedly: "This is a treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years. What should I do if I bump into it?"
Luo Youdu said calmly: "Just change it to another one. There are many celadon teapots like this in the East and West markets."
Li Jixun said angrily: "Can it be the same? This is what Jing Lingzi used..." He looked at the tea cauldron in the fire and said: "The commander-in-chief doesn't cherish it so much, why don't you sell it to me?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "That won't work. This is a gift from an old friend. How can I sell it easily? Well, since the general attaches so much importance to it, I won't use it in the future."
Hearing Luo Youdu's tone, Li Jixun knew that he would not take good care of him. He probably dug into that corner and turned it into a happy place for insects and rats. He said in a deep voice: "I am willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. I have a good horse at home.
It can be exchanged with the unified army."
Luo Youdu frowned in embarrassment.
Shi Shouxin interjected: "It's just an artifact, what's there to argue about?"
Luo Youdu looked at Shi Shouxin and Li Jixun and said, "Let's do this. Now our Royal Camp Department is short of people. If the general is willing to give me his subordinate Li Chuyun, then I will give this celadon tea cauldron to the general."
"
Li Jixun's expression changed slightly and he said, "That won't work. Li Duya is a close and beloved general. Let the army choose another one except him."
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "If that doesn't work, I will remember him. This kid drank me wine at the celebration banquet. He is very courageous. He must be educated and educated."
