Chapter 28 Watch its change
What is the current situation of Jiankang?
Since opening his eyes, Lu Qiang has been like sitting in a well and watching the sky. He has never left the palace. What does he know about outside? However, this question is not difficult to answer. After all, Huan Xuan is not normally ascending to the throne, just climb along the pole.
deliberately sighed and shook his head and said, "I escaped early and didn't know much, but I think that the ordinary people will not be affected by Huan Xuan's usurpation of the throne. It should still be the same!"
This sentence is ambiguous. What does it look like? Then it's up to you to think about it.
He Wuji slapped the table and said angrily, "There was Sun En's Rebellion before, which made Jiankang have little rice to eat. Today, there are Huan thieves usurped the throne. It's strange that Jiankang can be good! These traitors and thieves really deserve thousands of knives"
Liu Yi also nodded and said, "Yes! I heard that the thief likes luxury and is good at attracting people's hearts with small grace, but in fact, he is a narrow-minded person. After taking power, I don't know how many Northern Government generals who supported him in the past died at his hands."
Speaking of this, I looked at He Wuji and didn't go on, because everyone knows that if it hadn't been for He Wuji's uncle Liu Laozhi's surrender to Huan Xuan, Huan Xuan would have today? And his uncle will not be forced to die by Huan Xuan in the end.
Of course, He Wuji knew what Liu Yi wanted to say, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy, but he knew that Liu Yi was right. If it hadn't been for his uncle's reversal, Huan Xuan might have been destroyed long ago.
turned his head and looked at Lu Qiang and said, "Is there any news from Your Majesty?"
"I heard that it was sent to Xunyang, but I don't know if this news is true?"
When others asked him about his news, Lu Qiang answered more cautiously. But I'm thinking, who is Sun En? Listening to what they mean, he was also a rebel leader, and the Jin Dynasty was chaotic enough.
If the two did not doubt Lu Qiang, it would be strange if Lu Qiang said that the emperor was still Jiankang!
The two ignored Lu Qiang. After letting Lu Qiang go out, the two whispered about their actions after crossing the river.
Tie Zhan and others have a very good impression of Lu Qiang, not to mention that he is Zhou Anmu's lifesaver. Seeing him come out, I quickly pulled him to another house.
When he entered the house, he found that the wine and dishes were also arranged here. Although the wine and dishes were not exquisite, they were also large bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, showing the heroic nature of soldiers.
It's a pity that Lu Qiang is really not good at wine, but he can't stand the kindness of several people, so he has to drink a few bowls of his nose, and then get drunk directly.
Seeing that Lu Qiang was really drunk, several people couldn't help laughing. After helping Lu Qiang to sleep, they drank by themselves.
Time passed quickly, and unconsciously, it got dark. At this time, someone came to report that the ship was ready and they could leave at any time.
As Liu Yu said, in the Beifu military camp in Jingkou, Huan Xiu can't be a foreigner at all. He can't compare with these local snakes at all. Not to mention sending a few people across the river, even if he is 100 or 80, Huan Xiu, the main general, may not know.
At this time, it is the beginning of February. In the south of the Yangtze River, spring is gradually approaching, but the wind on the river is still a little harsh.
Lu Qiang, who had changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers of the Beifu Army, stood in the bow of the ship and silently looked at the dark river. His heart was as calm as the rolling river for a long time.
I was bent on killing Huan Xuan to avenge his wife, but I really unconsciously joined the anti-Huan team. Has this been arranged in the dark?
Although the two generals appreciated themselves, Lu Qiang did not realize that there was anything extraordinary about him. On the contrary, he became more vigilant, because the two generals were a little too enthusiastic about himself as a stranger.
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon. How can a person with the identity of Lu Qiang not be more careful?
However, whether it was He Wuji or Liu Yi, it gave him a good feeling, especially He Wuji. Only Liu Yu could feel that although Liu Yu looked kind, there was something unclear and frightening in his eyes.
Lu Qiang did not know that the brothers Sima Dezong and Sima Dewen died at the hands of Liu Yu at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
I heard that Liu Yu used to join the army of the Beifu Army. I don't know whether Huan Xuan wanted to trap him or was awarded the title of general because of his merit. It is estimated that it was this experience that he dared to come back to counter the Beifu army.
With these people commanding the strongest army in the court, revenge does not seem impossible. If you really avenge in the future, where should you go? Be the emperor again? If you are willing to stand up, it doesn't seem impossible.
But if you don't come up, what should you do? Have you been in the army all your life? If you are lucky enough to be a general or something in the future, you will obviously come into contact with more and more senior officials. When will you be recognized? What should you do then?
Although Lu Qiang was hurt by Wang Shen's death, in terms of his personality, he is not the kind of person who can be a hermit, and his emotional pain can't defeat him.
I was upset when I thought about it. I shook my head and didn't think about it at all. These are things in the future. No one can guarantee what will happen in the future? But in any case, he will never be a puppet again.
"What are you thinking about?"
I don't know when He Wuji came behind Lu Qiang.
"Oh! Nothing. I drank too much with several brothers in the afternoon, and it was too stuffy in the cabin, so I came out to blow the wind."
Lu Qiang's personality was very cheerful and liked to sit with his friends and chat, but from the moment he was sure that Wang Shenai was dead, everything changed. Many times, he would hide his mind and choose to be silent.
He Wuji is different from Liu Yi. Liu Yi may really look at Lu Qiang, and he is very interested in this young man a few years younger than himself. He could feel that there seemed to be a lot of secrets hidden in this young man, which made people want to explore.
However, He Wuji is not a person who likes to inquire about other people's privacy. After looking at Lu Qiang a few times, he said, "Although General Liu and I are very optimistic about you, I prefer that you can become an independent general in the future, so I don't plan to let you be my or General Liu's own soldier. Go to the camp!" Start from the very grassroots"
Hearing He Wuji's decision, Lu Qiang was stunned first, and then became ecstatic.
Isn't the scout of later generations? Another name of the scout can also be called special forces. I believe that every man with a military complex has dreamed of becoming a special forces soldier one day.
Of course, Lu Qiang was no exception. He really didn't expect that his dream would be realized in another way in another time and space. If he was really a member of the royal family, I don't think so.
At this moment, he hugged his fist from the bottom of his heart and said, "General He, don't worry, I will never let you down."
He Wuji didn't expect Lu Qiang to agree so happily. He was slightly stunned and then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news of meritorious service"
Lu Qiang returned to the back cabin to rest, but He Wuji and Liu Yi sat together and chatted.
"Wuji, you don't realize that this boy has a sense of nobleness, which is by no means something ordinary merchants can have. What do you think he will be..."
"Shh!"
He Wuji made a forbidden gesture to Liu Yi, turned his head to look back, turned his head, dipped his fingers in tea with a dim candlelight, and wrote "watch its change" on the table
Liu Yi nodded deliberately and stopped talking.
Who can become a general is given for nothing? Zhou Anmu invited Lu Qiang to join the army. On the one hand, he wanted to repay his kindness. On the other hand, Lu Qiang's physique is indeed very suitable for being a soldier.
However, He Wuji and Liu Yi don't think so. This young man is certainly a good material for soldiers, but the temperament revealed from him is also very suspicious. They are even wondering if this boy will be the son of the high-ranking official family who was persecuted by Huan Xuan?
The Beifu Army was first created by Xie Xuan, who led this army of only 80,000 and defeated the 800,000 former Qin army, which can be called the absolute strong army at that time.
At the beginning, there were 80,000 people, and later it once exceeded 100,000, but with the fear of the army in power, they began to disassemble the army intentionally or unintentionally.
Especially after Huan Xuan came to power, he not only slaughtered the generals of Beifu, but also abolished the Beifu army several times. Therefore, this rebellion led by Liu Yu is not so much a kind of self-help than the restoration of the Jin Dynasty. These old generals of Beifu are very clear that if they continue like this, they will be killed by Huan Xuan sooner or later. Clean.
There are two battalions of the Beifu Army, one in Jingkou and the other in Guangling on the north bank of the river. Suppressed by Huan Xuan, the two camps now add up to only 20,000 people.
It's 20,000 people. Huan Xuan is still worried. The generals of the two battalions are his Huan's family. He also stationed 20,000 of his own direct subordinates in Guangling to prepare for the Jiangbei camp, while the Jiangbei camp of the Beifu Army is only 5,000 people.
Jingkou, like Jiankang, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Although there are not many Huan Xuan's army in Jingkou, there are more than 200,000 troops outside Jiankang. While defending Jiankang, it is not intended to guard against the Beifu army in Jingkou.
However, although the main generals of the two battalions are Huan's family, the middle and low-level officers are still former soldiers of the Northern Government. Like Zhou Anmu and others, it is with these grassroots forces that Liu Yu and others dare to plot a rebellion.
Liu Yi turned out to be the main general of Jiangbei Camp, otherwise Liu Yu would not have let him come back.
Some people had been waiting by the river. Under the cover of patrol soldiers, a group of people quietly entered the camp.
It's midnight now, and most of the camp tents in the barracks have been turned off. At this time, of course, Lu Qiang can't be allowed to report to the camp.
He Wuji and Liu Yi took Lu Qiang into a large tent with a light on. When they entered Lu Qiang, they found that there was a middle-aged scribe waiting here.
Seeing everyone coming in, the middle-aged scribe quickly put down the scroll in his hand, got up and arched his hand and said, "I have seen two generals" and glanced at Lu Qiang. Although Lu Qiang's eyes were born, he didn't care when he saw that Lu Qiang was wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier.
He Wuji nodded and said, "Let Dao and my brother wait for a long time. How's it going? Is it going?"
The middle-aged scribe who called Daohe became heavy and turned his head to look at Lu Qiang. Obviously, he wanted to say something important, but he didn't know the details of Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang bowed and saluted knowingly, turned around and walked out.
Standing under the night sky and looking up at the curved moon like a hook, Lu Qiang suddenly found that he was becoming more and more like people of this era.
