Chapter 452 The future can be expected
The wide tent was empty, with only a big stove, with a kettle on it, and the water in the kettle was boiling. General Song Naifeng stared at the water vapor hovering above the kettle and looked calm and stunned.
"Chu Qing, what should I do about this? Can't you talk about it?" Song Naifeng looked behind him. Behind him, there was an old man holding a dry tobacco pole in his hand. The old man used fire tongs with the other hand, and then he slapped a few more dry tobacco, "Hey" smiled and said:
"I don't know!"
Song Naifeng frowned and seemed a little unhappy. The old man smoking a dry tobacco said: "It is difficult for a clean official to make up for family matters. How can I just talk about this casually? The general can handle this matter anyway. Now everyone is staring at you!"
Song Naifeng pursed his lips and sighed softly, expressing his understanding of his confidant adviser's mood. This matter is indeed too sensitive at the moment, involving all aspects of the Song family.
If it is not handled well, it will not only be detrimental to the unity within the family, but will even have a great negative impact on the family's future inheritance. Even if such a thing is a caring strategist, who dares to talk nonsense?
Song Naifeng has many disciples and advisers. Zhong Chuqing is his most confidant and the most trustworthy person. Therefore, he only wants to talk to him about what he is doing today. As for the others, they probably have different prejudices...
"General, there is a person I think you can meet. Lu Zheng, the magistrate of Yumu County, is a sworn brother with the third prince. How can the person you look at with the third prince's vision be ordinary?
Besides, this person was demoted for committing Dai Gao in the capital. After reaching the northwest, he was very prosperous. Hehe, this time the third young master came to Swan Mouth, but no one else took him, but he just took him. Why not ask carefully? "The old man from Drunk Tobacco said slowly.
Zhong Chuqing is a very taciturn and introverted person among the general's house's strategists. He usually doesn't speak easily. As long as he speaks, he can often point out the key points, so Song Naifeng trusts him quite a lot.
When Song Naifeng heard Zhong Chuqing say this, he clapped his hands and said, "By the way, there is also a white-faced scholar! Hehe, I asked someone to lock up the third brother, and the second brother and the other party cheered. I saw that the scholar named Lu was very calm, and I thought there should be a plan in my heart!"
"Come here, I'm telling you that the magistrate of Yumu County Lu Zheng!"
Song Naifeng is a general in the northwest. According to his official title, he is a first-rank official. Lu Zheng is just a sixth-rank official. The distance between the two can be said to be 108,000 miles apart.
Song Naifeng locked up Song Wensong, and Lu Zheng was naturally neglected. Several personal guards looked at him with swords, and the posture was that Song Naifeng gave the order, and he would be beheaded at any time.
The second young master Song Wenhua grinned and tried Lu Zheng. Originally, everyone thought that Lu Zheng was a small county magistrate. After questioning Song Wenhua, he couldn't ask what he could ask? I guess that all the secrets under Song Wensong could be revealed!
What surprised everyone was that Song Wenhua not only did not ask about anything, but was sarcastic by Lu Zheng, which made him lose all his face. He wanted to get angry, but Lu Zheng held him with words. The dignified second son of the Song family could not advance or retreat in front of Lu Zheng, and he threw his face to his grandma's house!
Only then did everyone realize that Lu Zheng was not simple. Now, the general wants to see him!
Lu Zheng was taken to the general's tent. He was dressed in civil servant costumes and looked calm. Song Naifeng narrowed his eyes and stared at him, saying, "Master Lu, why don't you respect Shangguan? Could this be what you scholars do?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "General, I am the magistrate of the sixth-rank county magistrate, but the general imprisoned me without any discrimination. I dare not treat such a rude general who is rude first!"
Song Naifeng said coldly: "You are on a job in Yumu County, and the third young master is responsible for committing crimes in Yumu County. Once you are punished, you will be detained at the least, and your life will be lost!"
"Haha!" Lu Zheng laughed and said, "General, although I am just a scholar, I am not afraid of the power of verbalism. The third young master is a tough guy and wants to follow me, but he has not necessarily taken advantage of it!
Let me tell you the truth that the third young master dares to use military service to bridge the pond, but it is because I gave him advice and courage. As a result, haha, he is indeed the number one warrior in the northwest. He sent troops fiercely and fiercely and won a great victory!"
Song Naifeng raised his eyebrows, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "Okay, if this is true, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Lu Zheng smiled softly and said, "General, don't be excited, listen to me tell you slowly. Actually, I didn't encourage the third general, I just told him a story.
My surname is Lu from Jiangnan. Several years ago, the Jiangnan power ranks were suppressed, and our four Jiangnan masters plummeted, and we have lost the glory of the past. Not long ago, the Zhang family, one of the four Jiangnan masters, was completely destroyed. The man was imprisoned and the woman was exiled in Shandong. The situation was so miserable that it was terrible!
The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. After the Dakang Dynasty established its rule, the wealthy and powerful families in our places will inevitably be feared by the court and the emperor. Therefore, the powers of wealthy and powerful families will be cleaned up. This is the general trend and is inevitable!
Jiangnan was the first to be hit, and Longyou followed closely behind. However, why did Longyou not become the second Jiangnan? I told the third prince that it was because Longyou had a Song Naifeng. General Song Naifeng was brave, unreasonable, ambitious, dared to challenge the court and dared to pull the emperor off. It was based on this point that the Song family rose in the northwest and was on par with King Jingxi. The court was also reluctant to attack the northwest because it was afraid of the 100,000 elite soldiers in the hands of the general…”
Lu Zheng told the story, Song Naifeng's face was gloomy and clear. His eyes were getting deeper and deeper. Lu Zheng laughed and said:
"The third young master is a smart man. He will inevitably think that since he follows the rules, he will end up like the Lu family and other families in Jiangnan. How can he follow the rules?
The third young master stationed in Yumuwan, which is the most dangerous place to resist the Turks. Anyone who is in this position will be walking on thin ice and trembling.
However, under such circumstances, someone dared to occupy Qiaotan, which was like stabbing the third young master in the back! Our man, a bloody man, dared not say anything after being stabbed in the butt. What kind of bullshit is the third young master?
How can a timid man like him defend the Northwest Song family in the future?”
Song Naifeng's eyes flashed with a flash of light. He stared at Lu Zheng tightly and said, "What a clever child. I see that you are young and you have such verbal words. Humph, no wonder the third brother was encouraged by you and acted boldly!"
Lu Zheng bowed to Song Naifeng and said, "Thank you for your praise. Although I am a scholar, I am ambitious and unwilling to be mediocre. Dai Gao, the capital city, is arrogant and domineering, and is known as a traitor. Everyone is afraid of it. I insist on fighting with him. As a result, I saw that this surname is so great that evil is hard to defeat the righteous, and I just sent me to Longyou!
The third young master is the number one warrior on the iron-blooded battlefield. He was able to reach this day without relying on his ancestors or generals. All of this is earned by his great military achievements!
How could the things that have fought back easily be given up? If you die, you will die. If you cut your head, you will be a big scar. I asked the general if he was in the same situation as the third general, I would probably have such courage and passion according to the general's character, right?"
Song Naifeng stared at Lu Zheng, his expression became extremely complicated, and every word Lu Zheng said was deafening in his ears.
Yes, the Song family looks glorious on the surface, but in fact it is in danger. The entire northwest is supported by Song Naifeng's 100,000 elite troops. If Song Naifeng dies, what will the sky in the northwest become?
Song Naifeng has three sons. Song Wensong is the most brave, fierce, and most like him. If he wants the family to prosper in troubled times, he cannot only choose the one who is in a good position. Let me ask, if Song Wensong, under such a pressing force from his two brothers, only knows how to retreat step by step and finally hand over the military power obediently, I am afraid that Song Naifeng will become more and more disappointed, and he will look down on this concubine's son whom he originally didn't like?
"The Lu family in Jiangnan, I met Lu Shanchang at that time!" Song Naifeng said.
Lu Zheng said: "Report to the general, that is my grandfather! General, elm is just a small place after all, and the third general is a chance to be tempered in elm!
Have you heard of the saying of horse racing? A general has three horses and wants to choose one. Instead of letting someone around the horse and pointing their own opinions, it is better to release all three horses and decide the best of everyone.
If you want a good knife, you must have a good whetstone. The general is the commander of the army. Do you don’t understand this principle?”
Seeing Song Naifeng's intention, Lu Zheng immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Now I know that it is not easy for a general to raise troops, and the people in the northwest are also under pressure because of taxes. I can organize the Jiangnan powers to provide him with military pay, money and food. General, you can raise tens of thousands of elite soldiers without spending a penny. At the critical moment, these tens of thousands of elite soldiers will go to the battlefield, which is a rare good card!"
Song Naifeng clapped his hands and stood up suddenly. He turned his head to look at Zhong Chuqing and said, "Chu Qing, the Yangtze River is pushing the previous waves. After all, the world is the world of young people. You and I are old!"
Zhong Chuqing hunched over and smoked a dry tobacco. He ummed his mouth gently, but didn't say anything.
Song Naifeng couldn't help but step forward and slapped him, and said, "Old guy, why are you pretending to be deaf and dumb? You're saying one thing!"
