Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 879 Ten Defeats Ten Wins
Mengjin used to be called Mengjin, which originated from the fact that King Wu defeated Zhou, and here he met the princes of the world, so it was named.

Luoyang is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north, and the west of Mengjin to Hangu Pass is a dangerous river with steep banks and fast-flowing water. Located in the river.During the period of China and North Korea, it was assumed that the river bridge connected the two banks, and at the beginning of the river bridge, including the central river Zhudu, a military city was built to defend Luoyang.

Today, the Heqiao Bingcheng has been destroyed in the war, leaving only a few remnants, but Mengjin is still the most important ferry in the north of Luoyang, occupied by the Peach Leopard Army.

Unlike Shi Kan's indifference to Hanoi, Taobao attaches great importance to Hanoi's management.After Lu De and his party passed through Wen County, Taobao cavalry could already be seen patrolling the countryside in the wilderness.Especially after arriving in Mengjin, it can be seen that a large area of ​​mulberry forest has been opened up under the Mang Mountain, and at least thousands of households have settled here to farm and weave.There are almost no traces of bandits in the countryside, and there is quite a peaceful posture of living and working in peace and contentment.

Although the main force of Taobao is still stationed between Heluo, thousands of troops are also stationed at the foot of Mang Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River.It can be seen that although he is entrenched in Heluo, he is not self-sufficient relying on the dangers of the mountains and rivers, and is still actively managing and preparing for the future.This alone, in Lu De's opinion, is already better than Chen Guang and Shi Kanliang, so he is even more looking forward to meeting Taobao later.

Lu De and his entourage had a direct audience with Taobao guarding the general in Mengjinbei, and explained his purpose.They stayed here for one night, and a response came from the south bank the next day, ordering people to send Lu De and others across the river.Tao Leopard's courteous attitude made the accompanying Logan and others very excited, thinking that there was hope for help, and their lord Chen Guang was saved.

It's just that they were delighted, but they didn't notice that Lu De's face was not happy. Instead, he was a little heavy and tangled.

Here in Luoyang, after several wars, it has already been devastated and dilapidated.In previous years, although Shi Lang was stationed here in the Jie Kingdom, they did not rule the area. Therefore, when Lu De and the others arrived, the dilapidated city of Luoyang was still largely dilapidated.The Peach Leopard Army is mainly stationed in Jinyong City in the north of Luoyang City, and a series of acropolises such as Luoyang Fort around the city.

As for the original remnant city of Luoyang, some traces of repairs can also be seen. In the old days, the squares where the dignitaries and dignitaries gathered, are now the places where the people live together.Many blue bricks and stones that paved the imperial road were pried up and piled up in the city pool waiting to be transported out of the city to build fortifications.As for some Huachi gardens, they are also now full of grains.

Jinyong City is to Luoyang, similar to Jiangdong's Stone City to Jiankang, both of which are guard cities stationed outside the capital with heavy troops.However, the scale of Jinyong City is much larger than that of Jiangdong Jiankang City, and Taobao has lived here for several years. Although it is not capable of rebuilding the entire Jiankang City, it also relies on Jinyong City as a basis to build a large number of The fortifications formed a huge camp with a width of tens of miles around Jinyong City.

Soon, Lu De and his party were introduced to Taobao's base camp in Yongjin City, but only Lu De was allowed to enter when they finally entered.

In the big tent, Taobao sat in the center, and on both sides of the seat were several generals and Confucian scholars. Seeing Lu De approaching, Taobao laughed in the seat, pointed at Lu De and said: " I have also heard the name of the Youhou of Henan Province. Mr. Lu is here today, what can he teach me?"

After Lu De went into the account, he glanced over and saw all the expressions of everyone in the banquet.Leaving aside Taobao himself, the generals looked at Lu De with unfriendly eyes, and the other Confucian scholars were probably counselors under Taobao's command. There was a hint of disdain in Lude's eyes, obviously disapproving of it.

"I dare not take the name of Youhou. The Central Plains is so big, even if there are Huashi like a forest, you must be appreciated by the master. I am a fool who didn't know Zhang Youhou, so I didn't dare to use his talents, but I heard about it, especially The Marquis of Xianyou got to meet the Lord of England, so he became famous. Just like a prince who inherits the legacy and dominates Heluo. The rest are silent, even if they have delusions, how dare they argue with each other."

Lu De had prepared a lot for this meeting along the way, so he replied neither humble nor overbearing when he opened his mouth.He had never met Zhang Bin, because he had no way to measure and compare his talents, but Zhang Bin was lucky enough to meet the Lord of Ming Dynasty and enjoy the merits of being the Prime Minister, which he could not compare to.

As soon as his words fell, someone from Taobao's left seat laughed out loud: "Zhang Youhou has made great achievements, and Shiliu naturally respects him. Lu Jun is also known for his wisdom now. He is not a lonely person, and his words are independent. Marquis Chongyou was fortunate enough to follow the Lord of England, seems to be deeply regretful?"

After the man finished speaking, several people in the banquet laughed again.As for the generals of Tao Bao, they were a little at a loss. They didn't know where the words were ridiculous, and then someone explained it bluntly: "This Lu Jun said this because he thought that his master, Chen Guang, was a mediocre person. Therefore, he has been dragged down, and he cannot be compared with Zhang Youhou in terms of meritorious service."

Hearing someone so bluntly express the hidden meaning in his words, although Lu De was well prepared, he felt embarrassed for a while. He really didn't expect Tao Bao's subordinates to be so resistant to him, so merciless.

Although his original intention was this way, he was also worried that Taobao would misunderstand him as a ruthless person, and he would not think of the favor of the old master, so he argued again: "Emperor Gaozu Ming followed the common people and reached the supreme position. Not at all. When people know about it, who doesn’t envy the fortune of the emperor and the right? For example, Bian’s family got jade, and sacrificed it to the king, so it became the emperor’s seal. Because the oyster was taken from the pearl, it was presented in the Ming hall, decorated with a crown, and it was revealed. It is necessary to show the splendor of things. The most important thing for people is not to give up on themselves. They are made of stubborn stones, and ordinary people are called to show..."

At this point, his tone gradually weakened, not because he couldn't continue, but seeing Tao Bao's blank face, he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Although Taobao couldn't understand what Lude was talking about, he was quite interested in this person himself, naturally because the elegant name of Lude made him think a lot.Although he didn't dare to compare himself to the former king Shi Le, he also witnessed Zhang Bin assisting the former king to achieve great achievements step by step, so Lu De's nickname of "Youhou" really moved his heart.

After thinking for a while, Taobao said directly: "In front of Mr. Lu, I am not afraid to admit that I really don't understand your elegant voice. I came to see you today. Why don't you just tell me directly. I also Knowing that Shen Weizhou in Huainan is attacking the north this spring, and Lu Jun is here, is it possible that he wants to say that I will rescue him?"

After Lu De heard the words, he nodded first, then shook his head, and instead of answering Taobao's question, he asked instead: "I dare to ask, from the perspective of the king, what is the status of Shen Weizhou in Huainan?"

When Taobao heard this question, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. You must know that he was defeated by the Huainan army and retreated to Luoyang, and now he can't return to Hebei.Lu De asked him to comment on Shen Weizhou, what could he say?
However, when he thought of Lu De's name, he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart for the time being, and muttered: "Shen Weizhou is indeed a genius in Jiangdong, and he lives up to the name of Youlin. In Xiangnian, I went to the south with the king of Zhongshan. , I really underestimated it, because I was jealous, and I still feel ashamed when I think about it. I was careless for a while, and I was ashamed to see my ancestors. I have not been able to avenge my shame for a long time, and I still dare not report to the ancestral temple."

"Then, based on what you see, if you lead your troops out of Heluo to attack Huainan, how likely is it to succeed?"

Lude continued to ask.

"The madman is disgusting!"

As soon as Taobao said this, before Taobao could speak, the other generals in the meeting couldn't help but swear.This question is simply sarcastic, which pot is not open and which pot to lift.

Lu De was not afraid to meet the shameful and angry eyes of the other party, and then Shi Shiran looked at Tao Bao and said: "Xiang Nian's army marched south, judging by the situation, the time, and the talent, Zhao Jun was invincible, but still It was a pity to lose on the Huai River. The sincere and lofty men felt sorry for each other and deeply felt the pain. The great opportunity of unification was overthrown in one battle. How does the situation in Huainan compare with that of the Zhao army in previous years? How does the situation of today's rulers compare with the situation in Huainan in previous years?"

"It's a fool's guess, Shen Weizhou has ten defeats, and the princes have ten victories. Although there are many troops in Huainan, the soldiers are arrogant and lazy, and they are too lazy to advance. This is a sad victory. Jin Zuo has long declined, and the river remains alive. Everyone competes for courage, and everyone is hunting. This is a victory. Shen Wei and Zhou Jiangdong anointed the beams and moved forward with the flow. It governs the countryside for profit and lures, but lacks virtue. The princes and marquises gather bravery and share the same hatred against the enemy. Hate, this is Zhisheng.

The place where it lives is the shabby town of Pingye, Yuzhou, where the princes and lords sit in the imperial residence of the Han Dynasty. The mountains are solid and the rivers are dangerous.His family is rich and extravagant, although he is defeated, he will not be punished, and the emperor and marquis Jian are out of the cold army, and he can only survive if he wins. This is the victory of Qi.The Jin family ruled together and hindered each other. Zhao Guo's heroes competed, and only the brave took the lead. This is luck and victory.Shen Weizhou was a prominent young man, fortunately he was undefeated. The prince and marquis have gone through hundreds of battles and are familiar with the dangers of war.He was inherited from the Jin Dynasty, and he chose to use his family to be vain, and he was humble and respectful. After a long time, he returned home. This is the victory of a scholar. "

"Shen Weizhou has these ten defeats. If the situation is strong and the reality is weak, he will suffer disaster if he continues for a long time. If the king has these ten victories, even if he is in distress at the time, he can wait until he is out of trouble!"

Lu De talked eloquently, and after finishing speaking, he stood with his arms folded and looked at Taobao quietly.

Tao Leopard twisted his beard with one hand, his eyelids drooped, and there were many thoughts churning in his heart, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.Lu Deli Chen had ten defeats and ten victories, most of which he didn't understand, and he didn't understand why he won.But this does not prevent him from being very excited, because what is important about Lude's words is not the content, but to build up his confidence again.It turned out that he didn't even know that he had so many advantages over that little raccoon Shen Weizhou!
"Listening to Jun Sheng's theory today, I know that Lu Jun's reputation as 'Youhou' is not in vain. No wonder he is deeply respected by the old thief Chen Guang."

Taobao's love for talents is already hot at this moment, and then he turned his head to look at the other counselors nearby and asked with a smile: "Everyone also listened to Lu Jungao's talk, do you know if you can gain something?"

When everyone heard this, they cursed inwardly for a while. They might not be as sharp as Lu De, but after a little thought, they could taste that most of Lu De's words were nonsense or didn't touch on the point at all, but they could make Tao Leopard is very relieved.Even if they want to refute it now, not to mention whether they can win the sophistry, they will probably anger Taobao first.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Taobao felt that Lu De was a great talent, and then turned around and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Lu, do you want me to send troops to help Chen Guang?"

After Lu De heard the words, he shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Chen has a lot of acquaintances with me. I also tried to tell what I saw and hoped to be preserved. It's a pity, it's a pity...Today, the danger of Chen Gong is beyond human power. , failed to save the crisis. If Chen Gong is in mind, I naturally hope that Junhou can help. But if it is for Junhou, it is really inappropriate to act rashly at the moment. After Chen Gong is defeated, Shen Weizhou will go straight to Henan. At that time, Junhou can send his troops Warlords enter Chenggao, sit and watch Huainan and the king of Wei contend for victory, regardless of success or failure, you can take the land with pleasure."

Tao Leopard laughed when he heard this, pointed at Lu De and said with emotion: "Your Marquis belongs to me, great things can be expected!"

　I don’t really like writing about strategists. First, I don’t have such high intelligence. Second, I don’t approve of this group. I always think that the nature of their work is similar to that of stockbrokers and salesmen. Ten years ago, you were asked to buy a house but you didn’t buy it. . .
