A bottle of wine and a plate of meat.
Soon, the food was served.
The attentive hostess filtered the glutinous rice wine in a trough beforehand for the guests to take.
Looking at the clear and white sake, Lu Li thanked Fan repeatedly and felt increasingly regretful, saying that he wanted to visit Zhao Yun's bed-ridden brother first.
At this moment, a sound of sound came from behind. Everyone looked sideways and saw a middle-aged scribe who was about forty years old walking over.
His face was pale, and although he tried his best to remain calm, the tense brows and corners of his lips and his disordered breathing allowed Lu Li to tell at a glance that this person was going to die soon——
He was so weak after just a few steps. What Zhao Yun said was true. If a cure could not be found, the end of his life would be within these two years.
"Brother, why did you come out?"
At this time, Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The speed was so fast that Lu Li, who was kneeling on a low table, felt his eyes blurred and could barely catch the afterimage.
Fortunately, I didn't take action at the beginning. It seems that I am still far behind the top military generals.
As his thoughts whirled, Lu Li suppressed his thoughts, stood up and clasped his hands: "I've seen Brother Zhao."
"Don't leave Ding Yuan's general Yamen in Bingzhou. I'm chasing the thieves here. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Obviously, Zhao Jun had heard his wife Fan talk about this matter, and he acted quite indifferently. He just glanced at Lu Li's waist——
The head of King Guli originally hung there, but in order not to make the owner feel rude, Lu Li asked Fan for a black cloth bag and tied it behind his back.
"I heard that the general chased King Guli for thousands of miles. Ahem, Jun admired him."
After saying that, Zhao Jun looked away and returned a salute.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yun looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, fearing that something would happen to his brother.
But Zhao Jun didn't take it seriously. Under everyone's gaze, he walked slowly to the mat.
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, he looked at Lu Li, who was sitting upright beside him, and said with a smile, "Since the general and Zilong have become brothers, they are members of his own family. If you are familiar with each other, you should be more relaxed."
After finishing his words, Zhao Jun, who looked exhausted, sat down cross-legged. This is called sitting in a cross-legged position or squatting, which is the sitting posture of Bodhisattvas in Buddhist temples.
For the ancients who paid attention to etiquette, this was indeed a very casual sitting posture, at least much easier than sitting upright.
Of course, this can only happen if you get along with people who are close to you.
Hearing this, Lu Li felt happy and without any hesitation, he directly pulled his legs out from under his body and curled them up in front of him.
After all, the eldest brother is like the father. Since Zhao Jun does not regard him as an outsider, why should he be polite? He quickly takes the opportunity to hit the snake with a stick. He still hopes to abduct Zhao Yun.
It's a pity that Zhao Jun was too weak to come out and sit with him for a while, which was extremely polite. Drinking and talking was simply impossible. Lu Li and Zhao Yun were talking most of the time.
The topics were all related to the army, especially the incident where Ding Yuan led the vanguard cavalry to rob the Huns camp at night. Zhao Yun was the most curious and often asked for details.
Horses pick bells, people hold bells, and rush to cross the Baiqu water;
Bypass the enemy's vanguard and go straight to the main camp;
Before the operation, he noticed that the wind direction was wrong and immediately divided his troops to look for favorable terrain;
Act vigorously and resolutely, never willing to fight;
Taking advantage of the chaos, the soldiers gathered together and went straight to the king's tent where the big banner was erected;
Chasing enemies on snowy nights and killing thieves across borders.
Because of his calculations in his mind, Lu Li deliberately downplayed his own existence, killing details such as killing the Wanqi Commander, and using the arrow formation to stabilize the horn with Song Xianhu. He tried his best to explain it in one sentence, and tried his best to portray the protagonist Ding Yuan. A glorious image of risking everything and coordinating the overall situation.
Frankly speaking, if Ding Yuan had not been in charge, no matter how brave Lu Li and his team were, it would have been difficult for them to successfully rob the camp. They would have probably gone crazy and set fire to create chaos. As long as the king's tent was not destroyed, the Huns would have a chance to stabilize the situation.
When he thought of this, Lu Li felt that he needed to exaggerate a little more.
"If it hadn't been for some mistake and I knew that the master had issued a recruitment order, saying that anyone could go regardless of their origin, I would have missed the Ming Master."
After the words fell, Zhao Jun, who had been sitting silently next to him, screamed in surprise. He had been a disciple of a great Confucian when he was young. He was not an ignorant country man, so he naturally knew what this sentence meant -
Regardless of origin, it means that civilians also have the opportunity to become officials, and I am afraid that as long as they have enough ability and character, they can even become officials of Qianshi.
After thinking about this, Zhao Jun raised his eyes and looked at Lu Li. Seeing that he was so young and about the same size as his younger brother Zhao Yun, he became more and more certain in his heart: Bingzhou Biejia Ding Yuan was indeed a hero, and he was able to select talents without being bound by secular rules.
You must know that there are no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class. This is an iron rule that has lasted for hundreds of years. Those who do not abide by the rules will definitely be targeted by most of the noble families. Even the governor of a state would not dare to do this. Ding Yuan not only What does it mean that you have the courage to do this, haven't gotten carried away yet, and have successfully implemented the decree?
Reputation, qualifications, and ability are all indispensable.
To put it bluntly, this Ding Yuan is probably the real master of Bingzhou, and his words and deeds are more effective than that of the emperor far away in Luoyang.
Lu Li's next words indeed confirmed this. He put down the wine bottle, folded his hands, stood up and saluted in the direction of Bingzhou in the northwest, his voice trembling slightly: "Ten days ago, I couldn't live without a commoner. Fortunately, my lord. Favor, there is no way to repay the kindness of knowing and meeting someone."
Movie king Lu Li is online again.
The past and present are different.
In the eyes of modern people, the behavior style of the ancients is too pedantic. For example, Liu Xiahui's calm attitude turned out to be a sign of incompetence.
In the eyes of ancient people, some of the words and deeds of modern people were treasonous and intolerable. For example, when a fox dies at the head of a hill, when the ancients saw a fox dying outside, they felt that it must have turned its head towards the nest, while things were like How can a man be so embarrassed that even a beast does not forget his roots? A gentleman should be strict with himself.
Therefore, no matter how much we express our gratitude to those who have been given the gift of knowledge and encounters, no one will feel artificial at all.
Ten days?
Hearing this, a flash of emotion flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes. A true man, if you can't eat five cauldrons of meat when you are alive, you will cook it as five cauldrons of meat when you die. Although these words are too explicit, they do express the true meaning of the world.
Who doesn't want to be crowned a prince, prime minister, and honor his ancestors?
As long as it does not violate morality, Zhao Yun is willing to risk his life to gain a better future. What's more, the Ding Yuan Lu Li said is definitely a hero——
Not shying away from danger, he personally led troops to fight and defended the enemy from outside the country. In times of crisis, he was not afraid of life and death and led hundreds of robbers to rob the camp.
Isn't it the clear master he has been looking for?
pity……
Zhao Jun saw his younger brother's hesitant expression, so he held the low case and asked in a deep voice, "Why is Zilong frowning?"
"Bingzhou is too far away. If I can stay in Youzhou, I can always serve my brother..."
"Ahem!"
At this time, Zhao Jun covered his mouth and coughed violently. His wife Fan hurriedly stepped forward to rub his back and said to Zhao Yun: "Your brother knows that you have great ambitions and doesn't want to drag you down..."
Before he finished speaking, he was gently pushed away.
"Go, if a man is born in this world and cannot make any achievements, how will he be able to meet his ancestors after death?"
However, Zhao Yun's concerns have not been eliminated, especially when he saw that Zhao Jun was exhausted after just saying a few words, and he was even more reluctant to leave:
"Brother, Gongsun Zan, the Marquis of Duting, is also a hero of the highest rank in the world. When Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, he led three thousand cavalry to suppress them. Now he is stationed at the border all the year round to protect the safety of one side."
Sure enough, after saying so much, Zhao Yun still couldn't forget Gongsun Zan.
At this moment, Lu Li, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed secretly. After all, he could not force the other party to stay, he could only guide him slowly.
Seeing no one to interrupt him, Zhao Yun simply stated all his plans: "Yun heard that General Gongsun selected talents regardless of their origins. Not only did he not look down on the lackeys and traders, but he also looked down on those soldiers Liu Weitai, Zeng merchants Li Yizi, Jia Ren is happy that the three of them will take the oath of brotherhood."
"If Ruoyun recruits Xiang Yong to join the army, he will definitely be put to good use."
Is the wheel of history unstoppable?
It seems that Zhao Yun still plans to take the historical path, first defecting to Gongsun Zan, and then switching to Liu Huangshu, becoming the five tiger general who protects the young master.
Fate or not.
For a moment, Lu Li's mood was extremely complicated, ranging from unwillingness to helplessness to blessing.
However, this is Zhao Yun, who has both loyalty and justice.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a sound of banging on the table.
Lu Li was so shocked that he stood up, because the person who took the crime was actually Zhao Jun. An abnormal red color appeared on his face, as if he was recovering from a flashback.
"You said you wanted to go on a trip last night, so you wanted to vote for Gongsun Zan?"
"Do you know who he is?!"
At this moment, Zhao Jun's momentum was so impressive that a word popped into Lu Li's mind: The dead tiger stands tall.
Zhao Yun stood up quickly, as if he didn't understand what he meant. He clasped his hands and said, "Brother, please make it clear."
"Ahem, when a certain person was studying abroad, he became a disciple of the great scholar Lu Zhi with him."
Lu Zhi?
Isn't he a military commander?
Lu Li was stunned when he saw that things had turned around and was about to listen to the story. He was sure that he remembered correctly. This man was the hero who suppressed the first Yellow Turban Rebellion. How could he suddenly transform into a great scholar again?
The true nature of a scumbag is exposed.
In fact, this era still pays attention to the appearance of generals and appearances, and the combat effectiveness of many scholars has suddenly collapsed. Lu Zhi is a typical representative.
A few years ago, the proposal initiated by Cai Yong, Li Xun and others to collate Confucian classics was approved by the imperial court and would be engraved into a stone tablet and erected at the gate of Taixue. Lu Zhi took the initiative to write a letter and recommended himself.
As the saying goes, the great cause of running a country and the grand event of immortality are covered by articles. Those who can participate in such grand events are all great scholars who are amazing in the world.
You must know that Lu Zhi was recognized by the Han Dynasty as a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs. While serving as a doctor of Confucian classics and recruiting many disciples, he also often led troops to suppress bandits. From bandits who were separatist in one area to yellow scarf thieves who threatened the country, he was ordered to do so. Conquered.
It can be said that among the great scholars in the world, no one knows how to fight better than him.
"In the past, Gongsun Zan and I became disciples of our teacher. At that time, he already had an official position."
Perhaps because of the forced breath, Zhao Jun spoke more eloquently, "But because it was difficult to get promoted, he decided to resign and become a disciple."
Gold plating?
This Lu Li could understand. Lu Zhi had a good reputation and opened an academy to recruit disciples. Some people wanted to learn something, others wanted to get on board and make connections, or they wanted to have both.
"Zilong, do you know that at that time he was already an official with a salary of six hundred shi at a young age, so why was there no way for him to be promoted?"
"Because of my mother's humble status, even though I was born into a noble family, I was ostracized!"
Zhao Yun naturally didn't know this secret, and he couldn't figure out why his brother said this.
At the same time, Zhao Jun, who was very ill, had a look of reminiscence on his face.
More than ten years ago, before the family was in decline and he was not seriously ill, his father used his connections to win the opportunity for him to become a disciple of the great scholar Lu Zhi.
As a result, when he arrived at the foot of Fengshi Mountain in Luoyang, he heard from the boy that his master Lu Zhi had been ordered to go out to suppress bandits and could not lecture the students for the time being.
Zhao Jun traveled thousands of miles from Youzhou to study, but got such a result. Naturally, Zhao Jun was unwilling to accept it. Fortunately, Lu Zhi left a message:
All those who come are my students. Although I have been temporarily ordered to suppress bandits and have no chance to meet, all students who are seeking can enter the name certificate and become a registered disciple. If they are not willing to wait, they can also choose another mentor, and their names will still be recorded. Keep it on the name card, and there will be no blame afterwards.
In this way, some of the newcomers left, and some chose to stay. On weekdays, several disciples who had started first taught on their behalf, imparting some knowledge of classics and even magic.
It's a pity that the senior brother is not the master. Without a person with enough weight to control the situation, how can the peace be settled on Fengshi Mountain?
Especially those fellow sects with official positions. Gongsun Zan often went down the mountain to have fun and make friends with the rangers who were not high-born.
It's not that Zhao Jun saw the ranger clearly, he was just from a poor family, but Gongsun Zan once said two words when he was drunk:
Nowadays, the children of the Yiguan family and the good people are rich and noble. They all think that they are worthy of their position and do not thank others for their kindness.
He wears all his clothes and hats, thinking that he is rich and honorable due to his position, and does not thank others for their favors.
At first, everyone thought that this statement was not true, but after getting along day and night, they discovered that Gongsun Zan did indeed act like this, but he just concealed his disgust for the well-dressed disciples.
The reason is simply that Gongsun Zan was ridiculed by his own clan since he was a child. Therefore, when he grew up, he felt a little disgusted with aristocratic children and preferred to associate with those of low origin——
Liu Bei, who was not of high birth, became friends with him.
Because of this, Zhao Jun has always been resistant to Gongsun Zan. Even if his family declines in the future, he is unwilling to seek help from this old classmate.
Now that he heard that his younger brother wanted to defect to the other party privately, he was even more shocked and disturbed. Gongsun Zan didn't like well-dressed children, so if he sent him to his door, he would definitely be ridiculed.
Perhaps, he will change his mind in the future, but who is willing to let his brother encounter misfortune?
At this time, after listening to Zhao Jun's narration, Lu Li thought of a passage in "Yun Farewell":
I heard that all the people in Guizhou were originally from the Yuan family. Why did you change your mind and become confused and rebel?
You people from Changshan County have gone to Yuan Shao, why have you come to me?
It can be seen from this that Gongsun Zan actually had doubts about Zhao Yun taking refuge with him.
"Zilong, how about you follow me north first?"
"Thousand-mile horses are always there, but bole is not always there. My lord Ding Yuan is very thirsty for talents, and he has many powerful generals under his command. It is a good place to build achievements."
After listening for so long and receiving an assist from Zhao Jun, Lu Li naturally couldn't express his feelings.
"When I return to camp, I will ask the Lord to send a doctor."
