Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 248 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
"Old Taoist Wei pays homage to Luo Sima."

In the hall of a bandit village that had just been captured in Douzigang, Luo Cheng saw Daoist Wei sent by Zhao Gui.Zhao Gui said that when his scout Qingqi sneaked into Liu Badao's lair for reconnaissance, he found the old Taoist priest coming out of it. He just wanted to catch his tongue and ask about the lair's situation, but the man said calmly that he would come to see Luo Cheng. They lead the way.

The scouts brought him to Zhao Gui, and Zhao Gui questioned him for a long time, but the man claimed to be a Taoist priest, surnamed Wei, and insisted on seeing Luo Cheng, saying that he had a plan to capture Liu Badao alive.

So Zhao Gui sent the people here in person.

Luo Cheng sat there, looking at Wei Laodao.

Wrinkled, dark and thin, with a goatee.

Wearing a shabby Taoist robe and an old dust whisk, no matter how you look at it, he is a very down-and-out Taoist priest.

"Where is Daoist Wei from?"

"Xiaodao was originally from Hengyang County, Boling County, but his family moved to Guantao County, Wuyang County in his early years."

"Which famous temple did the Taoist become a monk?"

"Both parents died when the old Taoist was young, and his family was too poor to survive. Later, he became a monk with an old Taoist who traveled around the world. For more than ten years, he traveled around the world with his master and traveled all over the three mountains and five mountains."

According to him, he is only 30 years old this year.His family's ancestral home is Boling County, but later his father went to Guantao County, Wuyang County as an official, so the family moved there, but later his father passed away while in office, and the family stayed in Guantao County.Unfortunately, not long after, his mother also passed away, leaving him alone in the Wei family.

He was able to read and read with his parents when he was young, but he didn't know how to farm and farm. His parents passed away and only left some fields, but no money. So Wei Daoshi's life was not smooth, hungry and full, but he I still don't like doing farm work, and I like to read books left by my parents when I have free time.

As a result, I really couldn't get along anymore, so I happened to meet an old Taoist Yunyou, so I simply worshiped this old Taoist as my teacher and followed Yunyou around the world.In the past ten years, he has also traveled all over the world. A few years ago, his master died, and he traveled around on his donkey alone.

Not long ago, I planned to go back to my hometown, Wuyang County is in the west of Pingyuan County, but when I passed Douzigang, I was robbed by Liu Badao's subordinates. I wanted to recruit him to work as a salt cooker. Liu Badao, who talked about the rotten tongue, respected him as a guest of honor.

"Then why did Daoist Wei leave Liu Badao again and still come to see me?"

"Liu Badao is a fool." Daoist Wei did not hide anything, "I have heard the name of Luo Sima many times, and I am a little curious, so I want to come and have a look."

"Now that I've seen it, what do you think?"

"Young, I am really young, but I have come all the way and observed Sima's soldiers, but I am amazed. To be honest, I have traveled all over the world for more than ten years. The guards of the town have also seen the guards of the capital and the guards of various places, but your army has only been established for a short time, but it is impressive."

"The Taoist priest has something to say." Luo Cheng is not the kind of person who is easy to be fooled by a few words.

"Liu Badao is an idiot. He is summoning his men and preparing to fight you, but I know that he will definitely lose. I have stayed with Liu Badao for three months. I know this person's character and ability, and I even know his personality. Knowing all the details, knowing what he will do next, if Luo Sima is willing to listen to me, he will definitely break Liu's overbearing, and even capture this person alive, and wipe out the thieves in Douzigang!"

Seeing the Taoist's nonsense, Luo Cheng wanted to laugh a little.

But he still held back, although under normal circumstances, this possibility is almost impossible, but he is not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance.

"What does Daoist Wei want?" he asked.

"In the eyes of emperors and generals, the world is just a fat deer, but in the eyes of me, Wei Zheng, the world is just a dichotomy of yin and yang. The old way does things, but with the heart. The world is going to be chaotic. My master once said that the world is peaceful, and I When the Taoist priests return to the mountains and forests, and when troubled times arise, we will wait for the Taoist priests to go out to save the world."

Luo Cheng sat up straight all of a sudden.

This person calls himself Wei Zheng?

"Dare to ask Daoist Wei, what's your name?"

"Old Taoist Wei Zheng."

"Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng?" Luo Cheng asked.

Wei Zheng couldn't help being stunned at this moment, "How did Luo Sima know my dialect?" When he was young, he worshiped a Taoist priest as a teacher, then left his hometown and traveled around the world for more than ten years. Now he just came back. Luo Cheng's subordinates said that he was named Xuan Cheng.

"Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng." Luo Cheng leaned his back, his expression a bit complicated.Unexpectedly, a Taoist priest riding a donkey is actually Wei Zheng.

After coming to the Great Sui Dynasty, Luo Cheng met quite a few historical celebrities, so he didn't have the shock when he saw Uncle Qin and Zhang Xutuo for the first time, but Wei Zheng is a veteran riding a donkey, which is indeed a bit surprising surprise.

"I once heard a friend talk about you, saying that there was a Taoist priest Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng. Although he was a wandering Taoist priest, he had the talent of a prime minister in his heart. When I saw you today, I lost my composure."

But Wei Zheng was thinking, who is this friend Luo Cheng mentioned, who actually gave him such a high evaluation.

"Daoist Wei, Mr. Luo sees that the Taoist priest has great talent and has the heart to save the world. Can you ask the Taoist priest to submit to my military camp for a while? If the Taoist priest is willing to stay, you can first be wronged and be my staff for a while. A post in the recording room, is it possible?"

Now it was Wei Zheng's turn to be surprised.

He is just a Taoist priest, even if Luo Cheng has heard some praise for him from some friends, he will be hired as a staff member as soon as he comes, especially if he is appointed to such an important job as a record office, he is very important to him.

Luo Cheng waited for a while and saw that he was still surprised.

He laughed and said, "Then I will be the Daoist leader and agree, and now I ask Wei Jishi to tell me how to destroy Liu's overbearing strategy!"

Wei Zheng looked at Luo Cheng, it didn't look like he was making fun of him, but he couldn't help but asked again, "What Luo Sima said is serious?"

"There is no joke in the army. From now on, you will be the secretary of my Changbai Mansion and join the army."

"Oh."

Wei Zheng nodded, sitting there as if thinking.

After a long time, he said, "I've come all the way here as a veteran, and I've heard of many deeds of Luo Sima, but they are not as good as what I saw and heard with my own eyes today. Luo Sima is really different, which is admirable."

"Then Mr. Wei is willing to stay?"

"You can give it a try." Wei Zheng is not a hypocritical person, he also intends to come out of the mountain to enter the world.He was kidnapped by Liu Badao before and stayed there for a few months, but it was just a temporary perfunctory, but Luo Cheng has a position for him here, so he is really willing to give it a try.

"Please give me a pen and paper!" Wei Zheng said.

Luo Cheng asked someone to fetch a pen and paper, and then Wei Zheng started to draw the map, explaining it to him as he drew it. It turned out that what he drew was the situation map of Douzigang, and it also marked the garrison of Liu Badao's bandits. The place where he stored his money, grain, salt and grain.

While drawing, he talked about his strategy to defeat Liu Domineering.

Luo Cheng nodded as he listened, "That's good, Mr. Liu has this plan, and Liu Badao's hand is also a thief!"
