Fufeng Song

Xu Run vaguely remembered that Lu Ji and his brother Lu Yun entered Luoyang during the Taikang period, and became famous for their rhetorical articles.Over the next ten years, the two brothers successively served as various officials, and both became the commander-in-chief of Chengdu King Sima Ying, who was like a brawn, and finally died of defeat in battle.Lu Yao is one of the young children of the Lu family who accompanied Lu Ji to the north. After the Lu family was imprisoned, he has been active in Bingzhou. How could he have anything to do with Chen Min, the great traitor who shook half of the Jin Dynasty in the past few years? ?

"What's the matter?" Liu Kun looked up to the sky and laughed.Only at this time, he showed a bit of a heroic demeanor, and his laughter was as heroic as a crouching tiger roaring, shaking the mountains and forests: "What's the matter? Hahahaha... Zhonglang, you don't know the clue, then Chen Min started as a granary manager Little official, how can he really have the ability to be brave and good at fighting? This person is just a puppet, who gave him continuous support behind his back, and the people who finally made him dare to fight against the Jin court were none other than the four families of Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang from Jiangdong. The Lu brothers who led thousands of troops under the command of the King of Chengdu, and held important positions as governors several times!"

Having said that, Liu Kun sat up and leaned slightly towards Xu Run.

Xu Run knew that what Liu Kun was going to say at this moment must be the secret hidden in the chaos of the kings, so he no longer cared about playing the piano, and hurried forward to listen quietly.

I only heard Liu Kun continue: "Jiangdong's Sun Wu regime relies on aristocratic and powerful families to a similar degree compared with this dynasty. The Sun family claims to be descendants of Sun Wu, but in fact they are purely attached to them, and their family is often dismissed by scholars as humble. Therefore, after that generation entered Jiangdong, although they were busy killing for a while, in the end, in order to stabilize the regime, they had to compromise with the so-called four surnames of Wujun Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang, and the Zhou family and Shen family who were known as Jiangdong's second heroes. It was with the support of the powerful clan in Jiangdong that the Sun family expanded the territory of the Southern Xia in one fell swoop, and even fought against China, and claimed the title of king and emperor."

"In the first year of Taikang, when the country was at its peak, Emperor Wu led the army with famous generals such as Wang Hun, Du Yu, and Wang Jun, and launched a six-way army to crusade against Soochow, and overthrew it like a ruin. In the battle of Wu, the southeast The outstanding disciples of Qiangzong suffered a lot of losses and lost their vitality, so they were completely suppressed by us northerners. However, they held grudges in their hearts, and often used the Central Plains as the origin of their sons in their words, and they always had the idea of ​​​​separating the mountains and rivers again... …These strong Jiangdong clans who are ready to move don't need to wait too long, the civil strife among the kings that began in the first year of Yuankang not only exhausted the vitality of the Jin Dynasty, but also gave them a chance!"

"The father of the brothers Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong was Lu Kang, the former general of the Eastern Wu Zhenjun and Jingzhou Mu Lu Kang; the father of Lu Kang was the governor of the Eastern Wu and the prime minister Lu Xun. The two generations guarding Jingzhou are deeply connected by kindness and righteousness, and the legacy is endless. Therefore, when Lu Shilong went south as the forward governor of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, before the army reached the territory of Jingzhou, there were soldiers and civilians from the southern lands gathered. However, two years later, when Lu Shiheng served as the rear general and the governor of Hebei, the hundreds of thousands of troops did not There are not even half of his trusted subordinates, so that he was bullied by the general...Xu Zhonglang, you might as well think about it, where have all the subordinates Lu Yun recruited in Jingzhou gone?"

Xu Run frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Kun's expression, and then asked softly, "Could it be that he took refuge in Lujiang Chen Min?"

Liu Kun nodded, then shook his head again: "After the establishment of this private army, it was not involved in the war in Jingzhou due to the obstruction of the Zhennan General Liu Hong. Lu Shilong then issued an order in private to make it into an institutional group." Going to Guangling. The purpose of this move is completely unresolved now. But soon after, Shi Bing, the general of the bandit Zhang Chang, attacked Shouchun. Combat, repel ten times the enemy in one battle, and then belong to Chen Min's command."

"Chen Min, who has a fellowship with the Lu family, is quite brave and staunch. He fought against Zhang Chang and Shi Bing in the war against difficulties and dangers. He was invincible in more than [-] battles. People at the time praised: Jin Shengzhen Out of the river, he was brilliant in Yangchu, and his behavior was vaguely similar to the British lords who founded the country and established the foundation of Sun Wu. Therefore, the Lu clan recommended him to Jiangdong famous scholars Gu Rong, Gan Zhuo, etc. Since then, Chen Min has entered into an offensive and defensive alliance with the Jiangdong gentry, and with the support of the Jiangdong people, they wantonly expanded their strength and plotted against the law."

Liu Kun emphasized his tone slightly, and continued: "Lu Yao and Lu Daoming served as the leader of Lu Shilong's recruitment of private soldiers in Jingxiang. He once fought with Chen Min in Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and made great achievements. He is regarded as one of the few under Chen Min's command. It is very likely that he was also an important player in plotting major events with Chen Min. Later, Lu Shilong feared that this matter would be leaked out, which would harm the official career of the two brothers, so he transferred Lu Yao back to his family as the supervisor... If not, Maybe Lu Yao has already participated in the rebellion that spread to half of the country, and became one of the world's famous rebels!"

"Chen Min was defeated and died, and Lu Shiheng and Lu Shilong passed away earlier. At the same time, after the wars of the kings in the Central Plains, there are many books and classics, so this past has been lost. But my brother is now His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea. He was able to browse through the information collected from various places in the palace at will, and inferred the situation at that time from some clues by chance. Years ago, he heard that I defeated the Huns in Bingzhou, and that there was another hero named Lu Yao under his command who made a grand victory. Meritorious service, this is why I mentioned this old thing in the letter..."

Liu Kun talked a lot in one breath and felt a little tired.He closed his eyes again, and after resting for a while, sighed again: "A long time ago, I admired that Daoming's knowledge, art of war, and bravery are not like that of ordinary children of the Jiangdong gentry. Until he knew that he had the experience of moving to Jianghuai, He was originally a very experienced general and school, so all of this should be taken for granted. I also thought that Daoming, as a child of a large family in Jiangdong, would only wander in the north after the disaster, but did not go back to his hometown. It was very strange... Later this The doubts were also easily resolved: in the Jianghuai area, there must be many people who know about the relationship between Lu Daoming and Chen Min. If he returns to Jiangdong, if he is reported by someone with a heart, the Lu clan that has been hit hard will probably be implicated again. Thinking about it this way, Lu Daoming might as well join the army in Hebei and look forward to a chance to stand up."

"So that's how it is..." Xu Run swallowed, then got up and took down a gilt-painted bronze jug, walked forward in small steps, and poured half a glass of new wine for Liu Kun graciously: "In this way, this Lu Yao Is he a traitor?"

"The word "rebel" has been exaggerated, but he is indeed not a pure minister of the Jin Dynasty..." Liu Kun was taken aback, then sighed again.His appreciation and love for Lu Yao really came from the heart, so after knowing the story Lu Yao concealed, he became very angry.But the anger has gradually subsided over time, and what remains in his heart at this moment is only a bit of regret.

Since Yuankang, the Central Plains have been turbulent.The clan kings are in endless disputes, and those who occupy the center and give orders, and those who occupy the place and order one side are going to come and go, and I don't know how many.Therefore, civil and military courtiers often served two masters, three masters or even more.For example, Liu Kun himself has successively played for Zhao Wang Sima Lun, Qi Wang Sima Jiong, Fan Yang Wang Sima Yu, and Donghai King Sima Yue.But these clans are after all the descendants of Emperor Xuan, the direct descendants of the Sima clan; no matter how much they fight over, strictly speaking, they all belong to the royal family.And Lu Yao was once a subordinate of the great traitor Chen Min, so he is definitely not on the same level as the former.

"Lu Daoming and Bingzhou probably have no fate anymore. Alas, I thought this person could be a good steed for a thousand miles in the Jin Dynasty, but unfortunately now it seems that he is just a eagle dog. Even if he is prosperous in Dai County, his achievements may be great." That's all." Liu Kun murmured a few words and drank the new fermented wine in one gulp.

Xu Run filled the white jade wine cup in Liu Kun's hand with a pot at the right time, hesitantly said: "Wang Pengzu died, Ding Shulun was busy cleaning up the mess in Jizhou, at this time the most powerful person in Youyan Land is Lu Daoming. Perhaps, the imperial court will deliberately Give Lu Daoming a heavy responsibility?"

Xu Run didn't care at all whether Lu Yao was a pure minister of the Jin Dynasty.According to his thinking, if Lu Daoming will only be an official in Youzhou from now on, and treat Bingzhou as a stranger... This situation is not bad, as long as this person does not come to Jinyang to block his way of wealth and power.For the rest, that's all there is to it.

Liu Kun stared at the green liquid in the wine cup, but was not in a hurry to drink it: "There is a brother in the East China Sea King's shogunate. With his deep thinking, he will never allow Lu Daoming to take the power of a high-ranking official. Zhonglang, you and Look at it, the eagle dog is just an eagle dog, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to keep pace with Qiji in his life. It's a pity...it's a pity..."
