Chapter 103 Zhao Junyong Apprenticeship

"You are good at teaching Shan Gong, the request of my Xuzhou Red Turban is actually very simple!" Zhao Junyong retreated again and left Lu Luzeng's mastery. Then he half-beared his body and reported respectfully as if he was a junior answering his elders' questions. "At present, only three items of recruitment and appointment of officials are written off in one stroke. Because it is only the decision of the senior manager and the juniors, I dare not let more brothers know. Therefore, I dare not put it on paper. Please forgive me for this section!"

"It should be like this, it should be like this!" Lu Lu Zeng smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

If Zhao Jun started to pick up the list without thinking, Lu Lu would have thought that there must be some conspiracy hidden in it. Zhao Jun said it happily, but he refused to put the request on paper, and there was no detail at the moment. In Lu Lu Zeng's opinion, it just shows that he and Sesame Li really wanted to exchange the red scarf in his hands for personal wealth, just like Fang Guozhen. The desire to attract peace is certain!

Zhao Jun was obviously afraid that his own refusal would cause Lu Lu to be suspicious and refused to convey the request for reunion to the court. He bowed and said confidently: "The old man doesn't know anything. When the student first started his rebellion, he kept telling him that he must not do anything and cut off his own retreat. Therefore, my Xuzhou Hongwu has not cut off the canal waterway. And the scope of activity is limited to the south of the Yellow River. Last time, in order to save people, he raised the army to the north bank. He also went back and did not try to attack any prefectures and counties!"

"Well, I will naturally explain this to Long Live in person!" Lu Lu once bowed to the north and promised loudly.

It is indeed different from other Red Turban forces that rushed to attack cities and plunder. Xuzhou Red Turban has been rebelling for eight months, but its power has not quickly expanded to the surrounding areas. For the canal that is close to the nearest, it only took over the existing checkpoints and collected taxes as usual, and did not try to cut off the north-south shipping. No one in the court had ever considered the deep meaning behind these two things. Now it seems that Sesame Li and Zhao Junyi had already made a statement to the court. However, the bright moon shines on the ditches and the civil and military officials in the court. Apart from yelling every day to kill Xuzhou Red Turbans, no one realized the good intentions of Sesame Li and Zhao Junyi.

While he was feeling, Zhao Jun added anxiously, "Also, half a month ago, the fierce general of Xuzhou Hongscarved Zhu Bashiyi, who was hit by many, defeated the Asu Zuo Army whom he met by chance on the way. In the end, he let all the prisoners be redeemed by the local gentry and never killed one of them. This time, he would hunt on the south bank with the adults. As long as the salt gentry was willing to leave, Xuzhou Hongscarved will also repatriate them all and send them to Sichuan to prevent them from harassing the people along the way! Sir, why do we do this, don't you still understand?"

"I understand, understand! Jun Yong, don't worry, everything is covered by me!" When Lu Lu heard this, he immediately appeared in front of him, a group of righteous men who were forced to go to Liangshan but were looking forward to serving the emperor every day. He made a promise without thinking.

At this time, the most common characters in folk dramas were the 108 heroes of Liangshan performed based on "The Legend of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty". And each hero was loyal and righteous, and was forced to become a bandit by treacherous ministers. In the end, he chose to be recruited and fought everywhere for the court, without regretting death.

Lu Lu was a well-known writer and was naturally familiar with the folk plays. He usually socialized with Mongolian officials and listened to the operas. He sat together and listened to the operas. Therefore, without thinking about it, he set up positions for Sesame Li, Zhao Junyong and others. The brave and fighting Sesame Li instantly turned into the King of Tota. Zhao Junyong, who was begging for his goodwill to convey his goodwill to the court, was not Song Jiang in time, which one?!

As for Mao Gui, Peng Da, Zhu Bashiyi, in Lu Zeng's eyes, they quickly met the legendary Yan Qing, Li Kui, and Lu Junyi. Hu Tongfu and Geng Defu, who had just surrendered to the Hongscarf of Xuzhou, also had a vague relationship with Suo Chao, Hu Yanzhuo and others, but they had never been valued by the court like the latter.

And he himself became the su Taiwei who was replaced by a false name. The referee of 108 loyal and righteous people, the only loyal and upright person around Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, the mortal enemy of corrupt officials and powerful ministers. His name will be followed by the deeds of Song Jiang, Li Kui and others, and will be sung for the ages. (Note 1)

"Sir, sir! In addition, I have another unhappy request!" Zhao Jun clearly heard the words, quickly bringing Lu Lu Zeng back to reality from the short play.

"But it's okay to say it, but it's okay to say it!" Lu Lu Zeng unknowingly used the movements on the stage, swaying his left hand lightly on his chest and stroking his wet beard with his right hand.

"This time, we are just Manager Li and Junior. We are just trying to find a way out for the 80,000 children of Hongguo, Xuzhou. This effort may not be known to all brothers. Therefore, after the work is completed, Junior requests to join the old man's disciple so that he can listen to the teachings every day. If we can get what we want, Junior will be grateful!"

After saying that, he bowed to the ground again.

When Lu Lu Zeng heard this, how could his heart not be hot?! He quickly reached out and pulled Zhao Junyong up, and said seriously: "Okay, okay. After the matter is done by our gentlemen, I agree. I can accept you now!"

"Shan Gong, please wait! The matter of recruiting peace has not been completed at this moment. I dare not insult the master as a guilty person!" Zhao Junyong struggled to bow again and said with a sob.

"Okay, okay!" Feeling the other party's good intentions, Lu Lu nodded repeatedly, "I will follow you, I will follow you. As a teacher, I will get up and go to the capital for you. Even if I am misunderstood by people in the world, I must bring back the 80,000 children from Xuzhou back to the right path!"

"Discovering during the day may cause many unnecessary troubles. The younger generation has discussed with General Manager Li. At the hour of the 19th day of the night, I personally send the old man to the canal. The younger generation has quietly bought a light boat for the adults. The sailors on the boat are hired by vendors on their behalf, and no one knows your true identity. If you set out overnight, you will arrive in Jeju tomorrow morning!" Zhao Junyong shook his head again and proposed very cautiously.

"Okay, I follow you, I follow you!" At this moment, Lu Luzeng's heart was completely occupied by the image he outlined, and he had no time to think about the authenticity of what Zhao Junyong said. No matter what the latter said, he nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Junyong struck while the iron was hot and told all the official positions that other generals expected to get. He also carefully reminded Lu Luzeng that which generals had high hopes for the recruitment, and which ones actually believed that recruitment was optional and could change their minds at any time. In short, it was not appropriate to be late. The sooner the court made a decision, the easier it would be to make the Xuzhou army reunited. Don't hesitate, as the soldiers became wild, and they could not even control themselves as the chief minister.

Lu Lu Zeng knew the reason why ironwork should be hot, so he immediately took action and copied all the requests and reminders on paper. He also took the initiative to tell Zhao Junyong that after he left, he and Sesame Li could still act as an offensive attitude towards the outside world. As long as he did not conquer Suzhou, the court would not pursue the big cities like Haozhou, so as not to take the opportunity to avoid being exploited by the crazy and perverse people in the army during the period when the court considered whether to recruit or not.

Zhao Junyong of course agreed with gratitude to the old Master's arrangement. Then the master and apprentice sat together and said many thoughtful words. Seeing that it was getting late, he reluctantly bowed to say goodbye.

At night, Zhao Junyong took a small team of soldiers and handed the sesame plums to send Lu Lu Zeng and his servants out of Xuzhou City. There was indeed a small boat waiting on the pier. In the cabin, there were all beds, tables, chairs, pens, inks, paper, and inkstones, basins and kettles, and all facilities were purchased. The mosquito nets and bedding were brand new, and the marks of a large Yangzhou business were sewn on the corners. You could tell at a glance that they were of great value.

In addition to daily necessities, Zhao Junyong also secretly stuffed Lu Luzeng a key while the servants and his entourage were not paying attention. He told the latter that there were some other ballast items in the box under the bed. After a safe place, the old man could take it out as a expense for running for the Xuzhou army in the capital. If it was not enough, as long as a confidant was sent to Xuzhou with a letter, he would immediately send another payment, and he would never let the master pay for it!

"Your use, you use it too carefully!" Lu Lu Zeng was so moved that his eyes were sore. He took Zhao Junyi's hand and whispered to thank him. The latter shook his head and said in a very low voice: "These are all ill-gotten wealth collected from the corrupt officials' homes. I will return it to the court with the hands of Shan Gong, which is also considered useful. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Shan Gong should move quickly. After the matter is done, I will thank Shan Gong for saving the grace of saving the matter in Xuzhou!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked to the bow of the boat, gently stretched his body, and landed on the dock like a ghost. Then he bowed to Lu Lu Zeng, turned his head, and walked away with a big strode!

"Boatman, get up, get up, get up!" Before the figures on the shore merged into the darkness, several servants had already urged loudly. "Oh, the guest is ready! Let's start the boat-!" With the answer from the guys, the boat shook slightly, and slid northward from the water like leaves. In a blink of an eye, Xuzhou City was thrown behind him.

"Ah!" Lu Lu once bit his finger hard, believing that everything in front of him was not a dream. He immediately spread the paper and wrote a memorial to the court. He first asked for his destruction of his army and humiliation of the country. Then he encouraged a brilliant pen to fight against the heroes of Xuzhou. Finally, he awakened the other party's loyalty and righteousness, decided to accept the revenge and report it one by one. In order to facilitate the court to accept this matter, at the end of the memorial, he also emphasized that after Xuzhou Hongwu accepted the revenge, he could take them to attack Liu Futong, Bu Wangsan, Xu Shouhui and other thieves. Within five years, the court will definitely be peaceful in all directions, and there will be no sound of wars!

During the night, he changed his draft several times. It was not until the sky was bright that he finally put down his pen with satisfaction and prepared to go to bed to rest. Unexpectedly, before he could take off his long gown, the boat board was suddenly paused, throwing him to the door of the cabin, and immediately fell to the death.

"How did you drive the boat?! Oh, it hurts so much!" Lu Lu Zeng was furious, rubbed his butt and jumped up, blowing his beard and glaring. Before he could finish a sentence, a familiar horn sound suddenly came from his ears, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo--!"

He raised his head in surprise and saw a large fleet of transport ships that had filled the river directly in front of him. On both sides of the canal, the flags covered the sky and the sun. Countless soldiers rolled over and rushed towards him.

"Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council" and "Yuekuocha'er" were covered with Basibawen's battle flags on both sides, and were raised high in front of the team on the right bank. Under the battle flag, a Mongolian general wearing golden armor rode a tall horse, majestic.

Note 1: Before Shi Nai'an started to sort out the stories of 108 generals in Water Margin had been circulated among the people. Many memorials were based on the deeds of these 108 people.
