Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1076 Old Friends
"I'm Lu Heng, named Boyu!" The young man was polite, cupped his hands and said, "I've met General Zhang Zhonglang!"

"Lu Heng?"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the young man, and felt that he had the temperament of a scholar, and he did not dare to underestimate him. In this day and age, anyone can look down on young people, but young scholars cannot be underestimated.

"I don't know who you represent here?" Zhang Liao cut straight to the point.

"Youzhou!"

Lu Heng said.

"Youzhou? It turned out to be the general of Youzhou!" The corner of Zhang Liao's mouth slightly raised an indecipherable arc, and he looked at Lu Heng suspiciously: "Our Mujun and Youzhou are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. Come on, what's the matter?"

"Our army is approaching Hedong and intends to go south. In this pass, only the Mu army can take over!" Lu Heng said.

"The Youzhou army is going south?"

This really surprised Zhang Liao even more.

At this time, it is actually the most beneficial for the Youzhou Army to just hold on to Hedong and sit and watch the battle. After all, the Youzhou Army broke through the Bingzhou, which is already a big breakthrough. The biggest advantage at this time is to annex the Bingzhou, not Mixed with the war in the Central Plains.

"Then you should go to the heroes of the Kanto region, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Liao asked.

"If the Mu army can send troops, it will not only support our army going south, but also jointly take down Chang'an City. Those who enter Chang'an first will be highly valued by His Majesty. Although our Youzhou army is far away in the northern border, my lord has a Serve the country loyally, and don't want to be left behind!" Lu Heng said softly.

Zhang Liao was expressionless when he heard the words, but he had to admit what Lu Heng said in his heart.

This Lu Heng is not very old, but he has a certain amount of advance and retreat, so he is not easy to deal with.

"I need to think about this matter. I don't know if Envoy Lu is willing to wait for a few days. After all, sending troops to respond is to change the combat deployment of our herdsmen. It involves a lot. I can't make the decision by myself!"

Zhang Liao said.

"Of course!" Lu Heng said with a smile: "Then I'll just chatter for a few days, and I hope Zhang Zhonglang won't let you down!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Arrange a courtyard for Messenger Lu. All costs must be the best in Chen Cang, so don't neglect it!"

"promise!"

A general in charge of logistics in the army handed over his command, and then took Lu Heng to find a courtyard in the city and settled down.

Zhang Liao naturally went to see Mujing non-stop.

"You said you were the envoy of the Youzhou Army?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised: "What's your name?"

"Lu Heng!"

"Lu Heng?" Mu Jing was even more surprised: "Lu Boyu?"

"My lord knows him?"

"It's hard not to know each other!" Mu Jing smiled, feeling a little emotional about the past, and said softly: "I have dealt with him several times in Luoyang, the key is that his father is Former Taiwei, Lu Zhi who died in Luoyang!"

"He is Lu Zhi's son?" Zhang Liao looked a little surprised.

Lu Zhi was a famous general of the Han Dynasty, if the current situation had not changed, he happened to be killed by the Xiliang army, he would certainly have a reputation no less than Huangfusong today.

"In the past, Taixue met a few times, and later he was regarded as one of the few friends among the scholars. It was just the position of his father and my father at the beginning, which made us unable to communicate. Later, my father died, and he His father also died, all in Luoyang City. To be honest, his father’s death was partly because of my father. In fact, if he stood up, he stood on my father's side. Naturally, he couldn't escape the death penalty. When I led the army back to Luoyang, I met him before I was about to break out and escape. I hope he can go with me, but he No, he wants to carry the coffin back to his hometown!" In Mu Jing's mind, there was a trace of feeling for the past: "There is no news in these years, and I also thought that if he is still alive and well, he should also join the party. Princes, show off your talents, this person has Lu Zhi's inheritance, and he is not a simple scholar, he has extraordinary attainments in the art of war!"

He knows a lot about the Lu family.

Lu Zhi has several sons.

Because the eldest son was a concubine, the second son Lu Heng was considered the eldest son, and there was a younger son below him.

For Lu Zhi's son, Mu Jing knew Lu Heng the most.

Back then, it was not just a one-sided relationship. Later, in Taixue and Luoyang Shilin, there were intersections. Even Lu Heng kept a close relationship with Mu Jing without telling Lu Zhi. He drank wine and talked about the world.

"It seems that he has taken refuge with Liu Bei!"

Mu Jing felt a little regretful.

Lu Heng is talented. If possible, he certainly hopes that he can take it under his wing.

"My lord, it's not important. What's important is why Lu Heng came to see us at this time. He needs our help for the Youzhou army to go south. This makes sense, but it's a bit reluctant."

Xu Shu spoke suddenly and said in a low voice.

"It's a little strange!" Mu Jing stood up, shouldering his hands, paced back and forth, and thought for a while: "It was unexpected that the Youzhou army could get through Bingzhou. They should accept it as soon as they are good. They should understand and insist on meddling in." ,why?"

"Perhaps it's because they didn't have a hard time fighting Bingzhou!"

Huang Shao replied to Mu Jing, "After the Battle of Guanzhong started, the main force of the Xiliang Army was placed in Guanzhong. How could they care about Bingzhou and Bingzhou? If there is still strength, it's just a publicity!"

Zhang Yang, one of the eighteen princes in history, later crusade against Mushan, he also assembled the Shangdang army, but he was not strong enough to stand alone, and was persuaded by Lu Bu to join the Xiliang Group.

In these years, in Bingzhou, he was regarded as the dominant party.

"It's not that simple!" Mu Jing shook his head and asked, "Who is the leader of the Youzhou Army?"

"Guan Yu Guan Yunchang!"

The envoy of Jing Wusi, who accompanied the army and held the flag, reported.

"If it was him, there would be no such variable!" Mu Jing shook his head: "If the Youzhou Army insists on coming to Chang'an, then there is only one certainty, that Liu Xuande has come to Hedong in person!"

"what?"

"Liu Bei?"

"He went south in person?"

The generals seemed a little surprised when they heard this.

"No way!" Zhang Liao said: "Now Jizhou is looking down on Youzhou. Even if Jizhou gathers troops to go south from Hanoi to join the coalition and attack Guanzhong, they still have enough troops to threaten Youzhou. At this time, Liu Bei Dare to leave Youzhou!"

"If it was Liu Biao, I would definitely not dare!"

Mu Jing said: "But Liu Bei, he dares!"

"Picture what?"

"Son of Heaven!" Mu Jing said lightly.

"He also wants to hold the emperor hostage and stay in the court!"

"No!" Mu Jing shook his head, his eyes were far away, gazing at the distant future, and said: "With the approval of the emperor, you can get the status of the royal family. He Liu Xuande preached everywhere that he is a member of the royal family and the uncle of the emperor." , but there are not many people who recognize him. This is also his biggest shortcoming. Even if he holds a powerful army, he can only condescend to Liu He, the son of Liu Yu. His teacher is unknown, and it is difficult to have righteousness. He needs a name!"

"The name of the emperor's uncle!"

Xu Shu understood it all at once.

"It's just a false name, is it worth his risk?" Huang Shao didn't understand.

"It seems to be just a false name, but this false name is too important to Liu Xuande. He was just a farmer weaving straw sandals. As for his identity, he can’t come up with a clan document, and if he says a thousand words and ten thousand, no one will recognize his identity!”

Mu Jing said: "For a person who regards fame as his life, this is the most unbearable!"

"Besides, his current position is very embarrassing. For Youzhou, he has already taken charge of the universe, but he has never had a correct name. For example, we still have to enshrine Liu Zhang. His situation is even more difficult than ours. Liu He is the successor of Liu Yu. The roots are deeper in Youzhou!"

"That said, I understand a little bit!"

Zhang Liao said: "Then he took the initiative to contact our Mujun just to enter Chang'an first?"

"First move and second move are different!"

Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "I have to meet Lu Heng in person before deciding what to do!"

..............................

One night passed. In a simple courtyard, Lu Heng got up early. After washing, someone brought him breakfast. After breakfast, he asked someone to find some books for him, and read quietly.

It's a look of neither surprise nor anxiety.

But in his heart, there are actually some guesses.

"It stands to reason that generals like Zhang Wenyuan can act arbitrarily. It doesn't take a few days to discuss whether to cooperate or not, whether they are willing to cooperate or not. There should be news, but there is no news at all. , either he wants to whet my appetite, or he can't make up his mind, if he can't make up his mind, then it's Chen Cang, there may be a higher-ranking Mujun general than him, so he doesn't dare to respond come down?"

Lu Heng came here with a mission, so he naturally thought a little more.

However, conjectures are always just conjectures, in order to make himself prepared in his heart, he can't control the real situation, so he can only wait. In terms of safety, he is not worried.

Since ancient times, unless the two armies confronted each other unless they were extremely vicious, they would not kill him. Even if the Mu army was unwilling to cooperate, they probably would not kill him.

"Envoy Lu, is there a request from my lord?"

At this time Zhang Liao appeared, and the first sentence made Lu Heng's worried heart skip a beat.

He looked at Zhang Liao: "Your Lord?"

"Master Minghou!"

"He's in Chen Cang?" Lu Heng's expression changed a little, and he could no longer maintain his composure. All his calculations were based on the Chen Cang guard, and if it was applied to Mu Jing, it might not be useful.

"Yes!" Zhang Liao smiled and nodded.

"Lead the way ahead!"

Lu Heng put away his emotions, and then said calmly.

"Please!"

Zhang Liao personally led the way and brought Lu Heng into the barracks. In the main camp of the Chinese army, he personally visited Mujing.

"Youzhou Lu Heng, pay homage to Lord Minghou!"

After visiting the door, Lu Heng bowed and saluted.

Today is different from the past, the young man sitting cross-legged is no longer the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who talked eloquently in the political discussions of Taixue.

It is a prince who holds hundreds of thousands of troops and dominates one side.

"Brother Boyu, you seem to be a bit born!" Mu Jing raised his head, looked at Lu Heng, smiled, and said kindly.

"In the past, you and I were friends, and we could still talk. It's okay to be of the same generation. But today, I represent Youzhou, and you are the lord of Yizhou. This is a courtesy, how can you take it lightly!" Lu Heng said in a deep voice.

"It seems that Brother Bo Yu still holds grudges, because of me, Mu Shi, which caused your father's death!" Mu Jing let out a long sigh.

Lu Zhi never took refuge in the Mudang.

He was only willing to obey Mu Shan's dispatch to appease the Guanzhong Army for the sake of the court.

But later, his death was indeed partly due to Mu Shan.

"No!"

Lu Heng's face was serious, and he cupped his hands and said: "In the past, I did have a bit of resentment, but after these years of experience, I have also become rational. It was not Mu Xiangguo's fault, it was my father's choice. His death was just for benevolence. It's just benevolence, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, he has no fear of his life at all, so naturally he can't blame anyone, and I have never hated Minghou in my heart!"

"With your words, Ben Hou is a little happy. At least, you don't regard Ben Hou as an enemy!"

Mujing said meaningfully.

"Not in the past, not necessarily in the future!" Lu Heng reacted quickly, and he said in a deep voice: "You and I are not the same!"

"What about Liu Xuande?" Mu Jing asked.

"The lord is of the blood of the Han Dynasty, and has the ambition to help the world. It is my luck to meet him!" Lu Heng stated his position.

"It seems that you think highly of him. He dares to let you come to see me, isn't he afraid that I will kill you?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Although I didn't expect Marquis Ming to be here, I guess Marquis Ming wouldn't be so unwise!" Lu Heng smiled lightly: "I'm an unknown soldier, so life or death doesn't matter. Killing me will be of no benefit to you or us. also!"

"That's for sure!" Mu Jing smiled with a cold killing intent on his face, and said in a low voice: "He Liu Xuande dares to come in person. If I kill him as an envoy, it will probably change a lot of things." , do you think so, and since I can’t get a talent like you, I can’t leave it to others, so if I kill you, it’s all done once and for all, are you right?”

Hearing this, Lu Heng's face changed slightly. He was not afraid, but was a little surprised. He was surprised that Mu Jing could deduce that Liu Bei had already rushed to Hedong himself. Even Youzhou didn't know much about this matter.

After all, Youzhou is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. If it is not a last resort, Liu Bei would not dare to go south in person.

"Mr. Ming, why bother to scare me? If you want to kill, you have already done it. There is no need to talk to us so much. You just want to get something out of my mouth!" Lu Hengping calmed down and responded calmly to Mu scene.

"After so many years, I really can't take advantage of you!" Mu Jing smiled brightly, dispelling the killing intent on his body, and his smile became like Mu Chunfeng again: "Brother Boyu, I still have some Regret it, I should have tied you by my side back then, so that you wouldn't be a sharp blade in Liu Xuande's hands today, but I would be at a disadvantage!"

"Time is also fate!" Lu Heng said.

"I wanted to catch up with you, but now it seems that you are not very happy, so let's talk about business!" Mu Jing looked down, with a faint momentum on his body, and said: "Liu Xuande wants to come to Chang'an, what is his intention?" , I know, if he wants our army to support him, then let him show some sincerity first!"

"Sincere?"

"Just tell him the exact words!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "The battle in Guanzhong is imminent, and it won't be long before I arrive in Chang'an, so there is not much time left for him!"

　It's still an update today, and I've tried my best to keep it updated. I hope I can go back as soon as possible and reply to the update as soon as possible.
