Chapter 158 The harvested crops
The next morning, the sky was covered with a faint blue color, and everything was quiet. The rooster in the house blew out of the shack, flapping its wings and jumping onto the low wall. The lights in the room next to it made it a little confused, and I don’t know what the humans inside were busy with.
The young maid yawned and brought the hot porridge into the house. The patriarch's guest had been tossing here for a night. When the sisters on the night said that it seemed that the injured man suddenly woke up in the middle of the night! I don't know what the man was, the maids and servants in the mansion were called up and tossed until dawn.
Ying Guang leaned on Ao Lie's bed with a pair of dark circles in his eyes. Although he had drunk a lot of alcohol before and almost didn't sleep at night, Ying Guang didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, he was so happy that he wanted to shout a few times.
"Ao Lie! How do you feel now?"
Ao Lie reluctantly showed a smile and said weakly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry."
Ying Guang glanced at the big bowl stacked on the table, patted Ao Lie's arm and advised: "You have just recovered from a serious illness and can't eat too much yet. I'll go and invite Mr. Lu to prescribe some warm and tonic prescriptions for you to take good care of you."
He talked to Ao Lie again, and saw that he looked tired and lost his energy, Ying Guang asked him to rest well, turned off the lights, and left the house.
I carefully recalled the scenes during the dinner last night, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. But Ying Guang always felt that Lu Xiong was planning something, but there was too little news on the surface, and Ying Guang could not infer it, but one thing is certain that he needed to lead his own troops!
"Brother Ying! You got up so early! My father was right, he said you must have gotten up at this moment. `"
While thinking, Lu Buwei ran over in a short shirt. Seeing Ying Guang standing in a neatly dressed in the yard, he thought he had gotten up early, but he didn't know that Ying Guang hadn't slept all night.
"Bawei, you got up early enough. You can't come here early just to have breakfast!"
Faced with Ying Guang's joke, Lu Buwei calmed down and replied with a smile: "I won't eat your meal. I'm here to do a serious business. My father asked me to come and see you. If you get up, I'll ask you to go over and have breakfast together."
"So early!" Ying Guang was stunned and looked up at the sun stuck on the horizon. He was sure that he had read the time correctly, and sighed in his heart that Lu Xiong got up so early.
"The habit that my father formed in his early years was a habit that the people who worked hard for him asked him to sleep for a while but he couldn't fall asleep." Lu Buwei explained with a wry smile.
As Lu Buwei arrived at the front hall, there was only Lu Xiong in the hall. There was no one nearby to call the servants, which was a bit strange. Ying Guang thought to himself, but his face was very calm. After saluting, he sat aside.`
After Lu Buwei sat down opposite Ying Guang, Lu Xiong cleared his throat and said apologetically: "I have to ask Brother Ying to come so early to discuss things. Please don't be surprised by Brother Ying."
"Brother Ying should know that my Lu family is a merchant. Although I have no worries about food and clothing, I have no status. The reason why I helped King Wei accomplish something was to change the status quo. Unfortunately, although King Wei supports him, I have been collectively rejected by civil and military ministers. It is just that due to the king's face, they dare not go too far."
"The patriarch means..."
"Not long ago, the king issued an order to rebuild the Yupanshan camp. Brother Ying may not know very well that this Yupanshan is a triangular boundary at the junction of our country and South Korea and Wei. At that time, the Han-Wei coalition forces, the original old camp had been destroyed by war, and we were forced to abandon the old camp. Now the six-nation coalition forces were assembled at Hangu Pass, and Han-Wei had no time to take care of us. The king decided to take this opportunity to re-establish the camp and draw elite troops to reorganize the army!"
"Reorganization?" Ying Guang took a breath. This is not a reorganization, it is a power collection! Needless to say, the generals in Yupanshan must be the direct descendant of King Wei, and all the officers below will be replaced by King Wei's people, and the generals who were drawn will not have any good endings.
"Are you not afraid of causing a rebound from the military when doing this?"
"This was a last resort." Lu Xiong sighed and continued, "When the previous king was alive, our king was not favored. At that time, the civil servants supported the crown prince, and the military generals supported the current Marquis of the Western Expedition. The reason why our king won was because I used my interests to win over the civil servants and the city defense general Lu Jun, which formed a general trend and forced the princes to surrender."
"If I expected it was good, the general of the new camp of Yupanshan would be Lu Jun, and the elite troops drawn would be Ji Chong's subordinates. If you noticed that there was anything wrong with this period, the city defense force would probably kill the Hou Mansion as soon as possible. As the spokesperson of the military, Ji Chong would not rebound."
Ying Guang was a little confused when he heard this. All he said was a struggle for power for the defense of the country, and it had nothing to do with his big-headed soldier. What is the purpose of Lu Xiong's efforts to make good friends with him?
Seeing Ying Guang's confusion, Lu Xiong put away his smile for the first time and said in a very serious voice: "I need someone in the military who really speaks for me. I need this person to keep our Lu family immortal at critical moments!"
Ying Guang asked in confusion: "If this is the case, it should not be difficult to find a young talent in your clan who meets the requirements."
Lu Xiong shook his head and said in a very low voice: "Our Lu family seems to be glorious, but in fact it is just a king's wallet, just like the crops in the field, which will be harvested once they mature... Today may be the Lu family, tomorrow may be the Zhang family, one after another, after all, merchants are merchants, without an official position, but nothing is left!"
"I understand!" Ying Guang nodded, knowing that the people of the Lü family are just tools of King Wei, and they cannot do without them but do not use them. If you want to accomplish things, you have to need an outsider like yourself.
"Buwei has gathered a group of young and strong people through markets in various places. I will ask you to take them to transport food and grass to Yupanshan Camp. After you arrive, you will be recharged as an auxiliary soldier. As for how you can control power, you only depend on yourself. You don't have to save money or anything. As long as you can control power, I will give you as much as you want!"
"Why believe me?" Ying Guang didn't believe that there would be such good things in the world. Aren't they afraid of running away with money?
"I have always seen people very accurately. If you can never leave your brothers, just this is worth my focus on you! I still have this confidence."
Ying Guang smiled undeniably and said to Lu Xiong: "Ao Lie has woken up. I will go and invite Mr. Lu to come and have a look. If the patriarch feels safe, it will be fine if Ying Guang goes on for a while."
Ambiguous and plausible, and I don’t know whether he agreed or not. Lu Buwei looked at Ying Guang’s back and suddenly said to his father: “Father’s use of him is not as simple as trust.”
Lu Xiong smiled slightly and praised, "Good boy, I'm a little bit better. Think about it, a person who can command the battle was sent to death at will, which means that he offended a great man in Qin State. Ying Guang is talented but unsuccessful, and values affection and friendship, but can only watch his brother die on the battlefield because of himself. At this time, I provided him with a platform. Do you think he will try his best to fight?" (To be continued.)
