Luo Youdu didn't mention solicitation at all during the whole process. He just drank heavily, ate large pieces of meat, and then talked about the past and present in Kuo Kuo, which made Zhang Jin and Zhang Qiong feel uncomfortable and tasted the food.
Zhang Qiong was impatient and couldn't help but said at first: "Brother Luo is so warm and welcoming, but you don't know what you want us to do?"
Luo Youdu laughed "haha": "I thought you were hiding something, that's it. You two really misunderstood. I just admire brother Zhang Qiong's bravery, make friends, and form a good relationship. I have no special intention."
In today's world, one more friend and one more road. Brother Zhang Qiong is very talented, and he never knows when he will become famous and rise to great heights. When the time comes, you will have to rely on brother Zhang Qiong! Of course, if you encounter trouble, you can also come to me.
Luo, a seventh-grade official, doesn't have much ability. He should do everything within his power."
What is the use of Zhang Qiong as a pawn? Could he be used as Zhang Long and Zhao Hu?
This is too luxurious.
Warriors like Zhang Qiong should find value and make contributions on the battlefield.
Zhang Qiong said with a beaming eyebrow: "Brother Luo just likes to think nonsense. We think Brother Luo is quite honest and not just some scholar who just knows how to boast."
Zhang Jin was quite embarrassed after being sold, but he was relieved in his heart. He felt more and more that Luo Youdu was really a person who did great things.
It is rare to be able to spend generously for a good cause.
The wine was so good that Luo Youdu asked about the situation in Daming Mansion.
Luo Youdu's knowledge of this era was limited to Kaifeng, Bianjing. Although he was born in Jiangnan, he was only seven or eight years old when he followed his mother to Kaifeng. He had no memory in his mind. The only thing that remained was his indignation against Zhou Zong.
While drinking and bragging, I also want to know about the outside world, so as not to sit in a well and look at the sky.
Ever since the son-emperor Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitan, the existence of Daming Palace has become particularly important.
Without natural barriers, the vast plains of Hebei became a battlefield for Khitan cavalry to gallop at will.
The survival of Daming Mansion cannot limit the Khitan's plunder, but it can save key areas and prevent the Khitan from going south to invade the Central Plains.
If the Daming Mansion is lost, it means that they will cross the Yellow River with the Khitan to rule.
Zhang Jin took a swig of wine and said: "When it comes to Daming Palace, it is inevitable to talk about the Fu family. The Fu family is amazing. There is a saying in our daiming that it is the Fu family who cannot be beaten to death. The Fu family rose in the late Tang Dynasty.
, among the three generations to this day, the King of Wei is the most capable, and it is not an exaggeration to call the Tianxiong Army in his hands the most powerful force in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Before King Wei, others guarded the great names, and they were passively beaten. The Khitan cavalry appeared and disappeared from time to time.
They invaded Hebei and robbed people, money and food. It was a hateful thing."
When he said this, he looked indignant.
Zhang Qiong also hit the table with his fist and chewed the mutton in his mouth as if biting a Khitan.
Luo Youdu could only sigh slightly, the loss of Yanyun Sixteen States had led to such a situation.
What made Luo Youdu even more concerned was that ten years ago the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang entered the Central Plains and served as emperor in the Central Plains for a period of time. When he was defeated and returned to the Northeast, he took many scribes and classics and historical allusions with him.
Today's Khitan has begun to transform. Once the transformation is successful, its strength will increase like a spurt.
"We have to take advantage of the Khitan's transformation to complete the Northern Expedition, so that the difficulty of conquering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun should be minimized. From this point of view, Wang Pu's "Pingbian Policy" still has some problems."
Luo Youdu was thinking in his heart.
Zhang Jin continued: "It was different after King Wei. He spent a lot of money to buy horses from the Dangxiang people, and formed a cavalry unit. He used cavalry to make cavalry, and the Khitans who invaded were made to cry for their fathers and mothers. It is said that the entire
The Khitans were very angry at the King of Wei, and even if their horses didn’t eat grass, they couldn’t help but curse that there was King Fu in the grass?”
Luo Youdu was also very happy when he heard this. What is the difference between this and Grandpa Yue?
Being able to defeat and frighten your opponent is not something that ordinary people can do.
It's a pity that neither Zhao Kuangyin nor Zhao Kuangyi dared to use a general as prestigious as Fu Yanqing.
Based on Fu Yanqing's years of experience fighting against the Khitan, not to mention letting him command the three armies, even if he is carried around as a mascot, it can increase the chance of regaining the sixteen states of Yanyun.
"In the past few years, my two brothers and their families have come to Bianjing, and the affairs of Daming Mansion have become unclear. But I feel that as long as the King of Wei is in Daming, the Khitan bastards will not be able to do anything to us."
"That's right!" Zhang Jin suddenly said: "The King of Wei has entered the capital. Today, the King of Wei got off the boat from the Bianhe River Pier. He was accompanied by Mrs. Fu and a lady whom he had never seen before. She should be the wife of the King of Wei.
, Mrs. Guo Guo."
Luo Youdu frowned and said: "No way, why didn't I get any news? It's not a trivial matter for King Wei to come to the capital. Given King Wei's status, if he comes to the capital, he must have come under an imperial edict. The Minister of Etiquette must prepare a reception with the highest etiquette.
.I, the Kaifeng Prefecture, are in charge of the people's livelihood in the capital, and I should also get the message to clean up the streets and restrain the people."
Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. I saw King Wei's visit to the capital with my own eyes, so it can't be wrong."
Luo Youdu looked at Zhang Jin suspiciously.
Zhang Jindao: "My father has a death wish. Only one of me and my second brother can join the army, and the remaining one can continue the blood of our Zhang family. My second brother is far more brave than me, so he can join the army of his own free will. With a little strength, me and my brother are in Kaifeng."
I got a job as a porter on the dock. When I was in Daming Mansion, I saw King Wei from a distance several times. How could I forget his heroic spirit? And Fu Erniang saw more. It can make Erniang honest.
The only ones following behind are the King of Wei and Mrs. Guo Guo."
Luo Youdu was even more surprised and said, "Is it possible that Brother Zhang and Mrs. Fu know each other?"
Zhang Jin hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, "Fu Er Niang is a fairy in the sky. How can I, a mortal, know her? This Fu Er Niang was born in a general and was deeply loved by the King of Wei. She is different from other ladies. She is good at bowing, horse riding, and shooting. She often
In order to protect her, King Wei specially recruited thirty-six female knights to protect her when she went out to the countryside to hunt and race horses. There were few people in the entire Daming Palace who did not recognize Mrs. Fu... But today she is not a samurai.
She is dressed like a lady, so she is almost unrecognizable."
Luo Youdu glanced at Zhang Jin twice. Before, he felt that Zhang Jin had an extraordinary conversation, a calm mind, and some abilities. Now he seemed to be a character.
The waiter at the dock didn't just let him in. The water inside is very deep.
It is not easy for Zhang Jin, an outsider, to sneak in and seem to be doing well.
And Fu Yanqing comes to Beijing!
If a foreign minister fails to be summoned to Beijing, it is tantamount to treason.
As the head of the country, Fu Yanqing should not be tempted to rebel.
Could it be that he came to Beijing secretly under the imperial edict?
