Chapter 464 Victory in the Northwest!
Lu Zheng’s suggestions are very straightforward, and the naked one is to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger.
For Song Wensong, there are so many counties around him that he cannot fight his family. Even if he and his two brothers are mortal enemies, could he be able to send troops to attack his two brothers for no reason?
But he couldn't, but Hekuo's wife could. Song Wensong could use Hekuo's wife's wife. However, Hekuo's wife first destroyed the surrounding counties, and the two sides made a secret agreement that as long as Hekuo's wife did not massacre the city and did not kill the people indiscriminately, she would keep Hekuo's wife back and return with a full load.
In this way, the situation of the difficult situation of the rich wife being on the verge of a tiger will be reversed, and Song Wensong can also take the opportunity to expand the territory and everyone will be happy. Needless to say, such a peace talk will inevitably succeed.
Song Wensong was speechless, and his advisers blushed and looked at Lu Zheng together. Lu Zheng's words remained the same: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests... These words are too thorough, and they can be said to tear all the masks of hypocrisy."
Song Wensong was both impressed and ashamed of Lu Zheng. He became sworn brothers with Lu Zheng, so for him, he was also for the sake of profit? His use of Lu Zheng everywhere is not profit, so what?
He reported Lu Zheng's contributions to the court without saying a word. It was also for the sake of profit. In order to win over, Lu Zheng said lightly and revealed all this in one sentence. He thought it was like a mirror in his heart, but he just didn't reveal it!
"Lu Zheng is less than the age of the young, so he has such skills. How can his future be limited in time? I really feel ashamed of..."
...
In the capital, twilight is coming, and Fayuan Temple is shrouded in twilight, looking very gloomy and silent.
A blazing fire was burning in the incense burner outside the Main Hall. In front of the Bodhisattva, a young woman bent over and knelt on the cushion, kowtowing in great devout manner.
She muttered something, with a pious and serious expression. Outside the hall, several old nannies followed, and several powerful guards were surrounded by them. Even in the capital, there were not many women with such status.
The woman burned incense and prayed for blessings. The sky became darker and darker. When she stood up and walked out of the Main Hall, the sky had completely darkened. Many women guarded her out of the temple gate. The gorgeous sedan chair at the door had been waiting for a long time.
The pretty maid came up and asked with great concern: "Miss, your body is important!" The girl nodded gently. She did not get into the sedan chair, but stood beside the sedan chair and turned back again, looking at the mountain gate of Fayuan Temple for a long time and refused to leave.
"Miss, Miss!" Suddenly someone shouted in a hurry. The sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a young man with a guard looked like a horse quickly rode his horse. He rode his horse closer, rolled over and rolled down from the horse, walked straight to the girl, knelt on the ground, and before he could speak, the maid beside him shouted:
"You dog slave are so brave. You dare to be so rude. It depends on your anxiety. What's wrong?"
"Northwest, northwest..." The guard was very nervous and stuttered. When the girl heard the words Northwest, her face turned pale in an instant, and everyone became nervous. Even the girl who had just shown her power was silent, her face changed drastically, and she dared not speak.
The girl took a deep breath, couldn't help but lower her head and shed tears. Her face turned paler, and the guard said:
"Miss, don't worry, I... I am here... I am here to report the good news... The butler... The butler said that the master of the Northwest Lu master had won a great victory. The letter of request for me has been delivered to the capital, and everyone in the city knows it!"
"Ah..." The girl was stunned for a moment, widened her eyes, and the girl beside her said, "Amitabha, Miss, you pray for blessings every day, and finally God has eyes. Mr. Lu is a lucky person and a heavenly appearance, and he has made great contributions!"
The girl turned red, raised the curtains and crawled in. The sedan chair was lifted up and ran back to Dai Xiang Mansion. When she arrived at Dai Xiang Mansion, everyone in the mansion was talking about this matter, which was very subtle.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the master disliked Lu Zheng very much and regarded Lu Zheng as an enemy, but the mansion knew that the lady had a special liking for Lu Zheng. Since the news came from the northwest, although the lady didn't say anything, she went to Fayuan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings every day, and went out early and came back late every day. Looking at her thin body, the servants felt distressed when they looked at it!
Look, good news came from the northwest. Lu Zheng led thousands of soldiers to defend the county magistrate, causing the arrogant Turkic Khan to be defeated. The news reached the capital, and the capital was exploded.
Putting aside Lu Zheng's identity, just this matter is definitely a big news in the capital.
The Turkic Khan led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers besieged a small county but could not capture it for a long time. In the end, they fell into the trap and suffered a great loss. How could this be possible?
You should know that the 100,000 troops of Song Naifeng in the northwest were just a draw with the Turks. Lu Zheng actually relied on thousands of soldiers to resist the siege of the Turkic elite soldiers?
It's incredible, too incredible, but this incident was recorded in the memorial to the court by the border guards below. How could such a thing be false? If it's false, it's the crime of deceiving the king!
If this matter is true, Lu Zheng is really a genius, a great genius. Such a genius, Da Kangchao has never had such a genius in recent years...
Dai Gao returned to his house, but he didn't say anything along the way, his face was gloomy, and no one dared to get into trouble.
In Xiyuan, when the emperor saw him, Emperor Xinde was abnormal and in a good mood. He sarcastically said that Dai Gao was the prime minister, and he couldn't get along with a little Jie Yuan, but he failed to steal chickens and lost a lot of rice. He thought Lu Zheng could not survive in the northwest.
Now, Lu Zheng has only been a small county magistrate for a few months, and then he has made contributions. The King of Jingxi, the northwest, personally wrote a letter to promote him. Lu Zheng went to Yumu County to serve as the county magistrate, which was also a secret arrangement by Dai Gao, who thought that Lu Zheng would be able to beat dogs when he went to the border, and he would go but not return.
As a result, Lu Zheng led thousands of soldiers as a county magistrate, defended the siege of tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Turkic Khan, and won a great victory, which made Song Wensong, who was guarding the border and Song Naifeng, the Northwest General, admired him so much that the father and son almost both asked Lu Zheng for credit.
Lu Zheng made great contributions, and Dai Gao's face was beaten to the point of being beaten. People outside did not dare to slap the prime minister in the face in person, but Emperor Xinde, as the emperor, did not have such concerns.
Dai Gao did not dare to get angry in front of the emperor. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he could only pretend to be a grandson on his face. However, after leaving Xiyuan, he would be the king of heaven and was unhappy in his heart, so he naturally had to find a place to vent.
When he returned to the mansion, none of the other servants dared to approach the study. Song Fu'er could only do this chore. Dai Gao was so angry that he didn't understand what way Lu Zheng could actually make the emperor care about him?
He thought carefully and found that there were only two ways. One way was that there was a problem with the eunuch, the other way was that the emperor was obsessed with refining alchemy and cultivating immortals, and there was a problem with the Taoist priests, but Xu Tiandao and Dai Gao were always watching him, and he didn't see what kind of friendship he had with the Lu family!
"I'm really a ghost. A little bastard is transformed into a great victory in the northwest. Such a big war was done by a small county official leading thousands of infantrymen? Some people believe such a ridiculous memorial, which is ridiculous!" Dai Gao said angrily.
Song Fu'er said bitterly, "Master, the Northwest Victory, General Song is not greedy for merit, and even General Song is not greedy for work. He counts all the credit on Lord Lu Zheng. I have to admit that Lord Lu is superb and his servant is a person with some knowledge, but such means are only seen in his life!"
He paused and said, "Master, my military achievements in the Great Kang Dynasty are the first. With Lu Zheng's military achievements in his career, he may be promoted soon.
A Jie Yuan official was an official, and he only stayed at the seventh rank rank for a few months before climbing to the sixth rank rank. He only stayed at the sixth rank rank for a few months and was immediately promoted again.
Tsk, tsk, the speed of promotion is comparable to that... It's too fast, the entire Dakang Dynasty is still spreading rumors, saying that it's the master who suppressed him and wanted to kill him!
The master is the prime minister and suppresses such a young scholar. He can be promoted so quickly. If you don’t suppress him, will he also become prime minister now?
Rumors are very harmful, it is really ridiculous. Master, you must not listen to those rumors!"
Dai Gao suddenly turned around and stared at Song Fu'er. His eyes were as bright as a knife. After a long time, his spirit gradually dissipated and he said, "What about the lady?"
Song Fu'er said: "Miss went to Fayuan Temple to pray for blessings early in the morning. After a whole day, the slave received the news a little late, and it was a bit late when he asked someone to report to the lady.
However, the lady looked better after returning home. The woman in the yard said that she had received a large bowl of black chicken soup, two small bowls of rice and two small pieces of donkey meat for dinner! Before that, the lady only drank some millet porridge every day, which was so worried about the girl who served in the mansion!”
Dai Gao snorted coldly and said, "The girl is too old to stay! Humph!"
Dai Gao snorted coldly and sat on the chair. He stretched out his neck and sighed, "I'm old and useless. I have many troubles. I'm so tired that my bones are stiff. Go and let Xier come in and rub me, go..."
Song Fu'er was slightly stunned and said, "Then...that slave will go..."
Dai Gao grabbed a piece of paperweight on the table and threw it at Song Fu'er and said, "Old thing, just go if you want to go, why are you timid? Even if I get older for a while, I can't die. Get out!"
Song Fu'er didn't dare to stay anymore, so she turned around and was about to go out, but she couldn't walk at the door.
Dai Xiaojing stood at the door, chuckled and said, "Uncle Song, go down, daddy is not in a good state, I'm here to serve you! Go!"
Dai Gao was lying on the chair. When he heard the girl's voice, he suddenly sat up. Dai Xiaojing smiled like a flower and walked into the room and said, "Dad, I don't dare to come to you when I see the people in the yard. What's going on? Who makes you angry again? Tell me, I'll help you solve the ignorant thing?"
