Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 556 You Go Behind the Enemy

After getting off the horse, Luan Qingshan patted the dust off his body.He said to Cao Zhiyan who was beside him: "Taiwei, now that the enemy is facing the enemy, it is very rare for Jieshuai to spare time to see us. After meeting Jieshuai, what should I say?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "You can say whatever you want. Jie Shuai has a kind personality, and I won't blame you for anything."

Luan Qingshan felt that he shouldn't be so casual, but he didn't know what to say, so he agreed.

Entering Wang Xiaolie's yamen in Wentang, a soldier led them to the living room next to them, letting them rest here.Said that Wang Xiaolie is busy now, let them wait.

After drinking tea for a while, a soldier came in.Said that Wang Xiaolie had something to do, and Wang Ruohai wanted to see them.

Arriving at the living room next to the staff hall, Wang Ruohai came in as soon as he entered.Cao Zhiyan and Luan Qingshan greeted each other and took their seats.

Cao Zhiyan said: "According to the order of the envoy, I specially brought Taiwei Luan to see Marshal Jie today."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai is meeting with the general, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ruohai turned his head, looked at Luan Qingshan and said, "How is Taiwei Luan these days?"

Luan Qingshan hastily said: "Who is the young one? Dare to call him Taiwei in front of the council, you are so small!"

Wang Ruohai smiled and asked, "I heard that you were an officer in the army before, and you escaped from the army because you couldn't bear it?"

Luan Qingshan said: "I have been a soldier since I was a child, and made some contributions. By chance, I joined the Jieshuai Army as a small officer. It's just that I am born tired and lazy, and I can't stand the many rules in the army, so I left."

Wang Ruohai nodded.Said: "You did a few great things in Wuyang area, and everyone praised your name. Later, when you came to Dengfeng and became a leader, you didn't do any serious evil. We think that you are different from ordinary leaders, and you can still do things. .how do you feel?"

Luan Qingshan cupped his hands: "Everything is up to the council's orders! ——However, I hate control and like to be free."

Wang Ruohai said with a smile: "There are many rules in the army. Without rules, how can you call the army? As for the local government, although there are no rules and regulations in the army, the actual officials only have more rules, which may not suit your wishes."

Luan Qingshan said helplessly: "I understand. With my temperament, it is difficult to work under Jieshuai. Jieshuai is very strict in self-discipline, not to mention the requirements of his subordinates? I know that what Jieshuai said is right, but I just don't like it."

Wang Ruohai nodded with a smile, bowed his head and thought for a while.Said: "According to your temperament, it is really difficult to arrange under the rule of the commander-in-chief. However, we also have the opportunity to do things under the enemy's rule. I don't have such rules. I don't know what you want?"

Luan Qingshan was startled and did not answer.

Luan Qingshan is no stranger to doing things under the enemy's rule.How did Ding Jin die?Although he himself participated in it, in the final analysis, Wang Xiaolie's forces are behind the scenes.Luan Qingshan couldn't tell how many people Wang Xiaolie had in Dengfeng now.

After Huo merged with Ding, Shi Jian and Luan Qingshan became the leaders.However, the two of them understood that they could not decide what to do next, and they both took the initiative to accept Cao Zhiyan's order.During the Northern Expedition of the army, the two of them were not even suitable to be the nominal leaders, so they each found a way out.Shi Jian took the initiative to express his willingness to be a soldier to Cao Zhiyan, but Luan Qingshan was at a loss as to where to go.

After thinking for a while, Luan Qingshan said: "To be honest, I have seen people who work under the enemy's rule, and the rules are strict. My temperament, how can I do such a thing? I was born, who told me to behave , it’s like killing me.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Don't worry, it won't be like that. There are many kinds of things to do under the enemy's rule, not just one. The most common one is to inquire about the enemy's intelligence, so naturally there are many rules. There is another kind, which is to fight against the rule of gold bandits. Another one."

Luan Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.Said: "Is it like when I was in Wuyang? I can still do that kind of work."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "It's about the same. All in all, it's relatively free, without so many rules."

Luan Qingshan cupped his hands after hearing this: "If so, but follow the orders of the council!"

Wang Ruohai nodded.He said to Cao Zhiyan: "Everyone says that Luan Qingshan is a good man. It's a pity that he escaped from the Central Committee of the Army. When I saw him today, it really wasn't a false rumor. Under the rule of Marshal Jie, there are many rules, not everyone can bear it. Marshal Jie himself said However, with so many rules, if he could choose, he himself would not be an official, nor would he join the army. But to do things for the country, he can’t do without rules, and even if there are few rules, he has to. There are all kinds of people. You find it difficult to obey the rules, but some people are happy. Not everyone can be an official, nor can everyone be a soldier. The country is in trouble and has to be a soldier. What should I do? Those who don’t want to abide by these rules should set a deadline and do other things when the deadline is up. Now we are in the army for five years, and when the five years are up, it’s nothing more than not being an officer. People can be changed, but they can’t be bad. My own rules. Luan Qingshan is an old soldier, not suitable for the new army, we have to find a suitable place for him to serve the country."

Cao Zhiyan said: "Although there are many rules for festival commanders, compared with the clear rules of temples, there are not many."

Wang Ruohai laughed: "You are a monk joining the army, of course you are different from others. Jie Shuai said that we officials are different from before, and now we are more like seeking Tao. It's just that our Tao is in the government, in the yamen In the world, in the major events of the world, in the daily life of the common people. Saints and gods set up teachings, and officials do well, can the government enshrine the gods?"

Cao Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment.Said: "Conferred gods? How to confer gods? Can gods be conferred?"

Wang Ruohai said: "That's it, you just need to understand the meaning. Which god in the world is not sealed by the government? Without the official seal, it is nothing more than a sacrificial sacrifice. It's just the meaning of Jieshuai. The gods want to pay attention to the lives of the people. gone."

Cao Zhiyan nodded, half understanding.

Although being an official has good treatment and high salary, if there is no way out, some people will still feel slack.The so-called conferring the gods is just a saying, and it is actually no different from what the government did before.A really good official will build an ancestral hall, or even a temple for him, and let his descendants worship him in the temple, which is equivalent to a way out.

With great power in his hands, a single word can decide the life and death of thousands of people, no matter how high the treatment is, it is not enough.If you don't find a way out for them, someone will find a way out for themselves.For example, for future generations, for one's own clan, for the welfare of one's own small group.The teaching of Shinto is to find a way out for those who are good officials.It doesn't matter whether the conferred god is a god or not.

After a long time, Wang Ruohai gradually felt the thread of Wang Xiaolie's thoughts, and his resistance also faded away.

Luan Qingshan is an officer who escaped from Wang Xiao's hunting army, and his identity is sensitive.What Wang Xiaolie meant, no matter if it is a local official or a military officer, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it.I am unruly and indulgent and love freedom, and I can't stand so many rules.But if you do it, you have to do it well.Luan Qingshan is fine as an officer who escaped from the army, but the problem is that after he made meritorious service, it would be troublesome to award rewards.

We can neither restrict Luan Qingshan's freedom, but also reward him for his achievements. After much deliberation, the only option is to send him to the enemy's rear.If it is under Wang Xiaolie's control, it won't be long before it will definitely cause trouble.At that time, is the reward still a reward?
