Chapter 257

Knowing that Luo canglan, the first member of the Academy, wants to see him, Lu que goes to the first loft in Jianxing peak, though he doesn't know why.

On his way to jianxingfeng, Lu que met many teachers and classmates of Fengming Academy. Whether they knew him or not, they would smile and say hello to him. Lu que was the only student in the history of Fengming Academy who had been in charge of a country's war during the period of the Academy. Most of the students in the division were proud and proud of such a student.

He smiles and greets people all the way. Lu que ascends to the sex peak. Looking at the bright red and golden mountains in late autumn, Lu que takes a deep breath. He suddenly feels that the pressure on him since the war in southern Xinjiang has been rekindled has dissipated in this moment, and the whole person feels much more relaxed.

Compared with planning the war in southern Xinjiang day and night in the outer Pavilion, Lu que is more willing to study in this academy. When he has nothing to do, he will make an appointment with three or five friends to have tea and talk about the past and the present.

However, Lu que knew that since the day when he was appointed commander-in-chief of the second grade army and under the support of the emperor, he began to preside over the war in southern Xinjiang, the peaceful days of last year were gone forever. Because he was no longer a school student with no external things, but a powerful minister in the Da Qian Dynasty. When facing him, the first thing the teachers and friends of the Academy thought about was not that he was the chief of Fengming academy, but the military commander in charge of military power. He could no longer face him with an ordinary heart.

Just look at the teachers and friends who greet him along the way. Maybe some of them are happy because he returned to the academy after half a year, but most of them want to get into his sight and pave the way for them to enter Daqian's military and political officialdom in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu couldn't help sighing deeply. If he was allowed to choose, he would rather not have the position of commander-in-chief or the right to transfer the southern Xinjiang army. He would only be a quiet student in this holy land of knowledge. But now he had no choice but to become the pillar of the sky that could support Daqian as the emperor and his mother expected.

"Lu que, you've already come here. Why don't you go in?"

Just as Lu que was thinking, a deep voice sounded in front of him. Lu que looked up and saw that he had already come to the loft where the first luocanglan lived. The owner of the deep voice was Lei xuanjian, the old teacher of duanmuye and the famous commander of Daqian before the rise of his father Lu Chun.

"Lu que, I've met Lei Shi." Seeing Lei xuanjian, Lu que hastened to give a disciple ceremony. Although Lei xuanjian only existed as an old man in the Academy, he didn't teach any courses except duanmuye. However, with his decades of experience in leading the army, he wrote those obscure military books of sages with vivid examples, which made it easier for the students of the academy to understand the true meaning of the sages. This alone was enough to make people respect him. Moreover, he was also the mentor of duanmuye, a good friend. Because of duanmuye's relationship, Lu que also consulted him about some problems in military books.

"You're good, really good." Lei xuanjian looked at him admiringly. Although he was an old man in the Academy, as a famous commander who had been in the north of Daqian for more than 20 years, he also had a retirement job in the waige. Therefore, he knew the process of the war in the south of Xinjiang very well. Feng Xiang's army has made great progress all the way. After taking all the soldiers from nine counties to encircle Heyan, it has lost less than half of its battle damage. In Lei xuanjian's eyes, it is a miracle of war, and all this is caused by the young man in front of him who is less than 17 years old.

Lei xuanjian knew very well that if he was different from Lu que at this time, he would never be able to achieve such a result with so little loss. He also firmly held the victory and the initiative in the battlefield in his own hands. As a famous commander of Emperor Xuan Dynasty, he witnessed the rise of Lu Chun in that year. He did not expect that there would be another Lu Que in the new generation after Lu Chun, This can't help but make the veteran feel very happy, which is why Lei xuanjian said this sentence as soon as he saw Lu que.

"Thanks for Lei Shi's praise. The students are ashamed." Lu said humbly.

"Humility is certainly a good thing, but as a hot-blooded man, you should have lofty ambition and heroic spirit. In this regard, you should learn from your father Lu Chun how heroic it was when you set foot on the grass and rode on the blue sheep. Only such a commander can arouse the heart of war and let the troops die." Lei xuanjian looks at Lu Que and says seriously that in his eyes, Lu que is good at everything, but he is too calm and introverted, modest and self-defense, not like a young man.

"Students understand. Thank you for Lei Shi's instruction." Lu que nodded when he heard the speech. He naturally understood Lei xuanjian's meaning. Because of his personality, he was more like a strategist now, but he was less dignified and less heroic.

"Well, old man Luo is still waiting for you. Go ahead." Lei xuanjian patted Lu que on the shoulder.

Lu que nodded and walked towards the attic.

"Lu que."

Just as Lu Qiaogang stepped up the front steps of the attic, Lei xuanjian, who was not far away, suddenly stopped him.

"Lei Shi." Lu que turns his head and looks at Lei xuanjian with some doubts.

"You are no worse than our old friends now. Even your father may not be better than you. But there is a saying that I always want to find a chance to tell you." Lei xuanjian looked at Lu Que and said solemnly.

"Lei Shi, please speak. Lu que is all ears." Lu que was stunned when he heard the words, but seeing Lei xuanjian's serious appearance, Lu que knew that the old man must have found his shortcomings, or the lack of layout in southern Xinjiang. If he wanted to straighten up, he quickly straightened his clothes and bowed himself in silence.

"Lu que, if you don't take charge of the army, you'll leave too much space for your own people and the enemy. As a person in charge of the overall situation, sometimes you have to be ruthless. " Lei xuanjian looks at Lu Que and says.

In Lei xuanjian's eyes, there are few people who can compare Lu Que's ability of scheming with the famous generals in the past. However, compared with the famous generals in the past, Lu Que's heart is a little softer. The so-called great generals in the past are not accumulated by numerous bones, that is, Lu Chun, Lu Que's father, is also stepping on the bones of Qingyang empire, To have such a great reputation.

However, Lu que was significantly different from these famous generals. In the battle of Danshui, he defeated the rear army of mad lion, and then handed over the captives to zhennanguan. In the battle of hexingyuan, Zhai Ning's mad lion army was all released by him. Now, in the battle of Tianxing, Lu Kuo uses his strength to support the whole situation and force the counties to surrender. Although this can reduce the loss of many soldiers, in Lei xuanjian's eyes, he did not show the power of Da Qian. In his mind, war is to use iron and blood to build the supreme authority of Da Qian empire.

"Thank you very much for Lei Shi's instruction. Students will always remember it." Lu que smiles and salutes again.

Lu Kuo knows that his strategy of suppressing others with force and avoiding a frontal war has made some veteran soldiers very dissatisfied, because they have long been used to fighting in the battlefield, and they are not used to the way of gradually compressing each other's space and forcing the other party to follow the path he has set. If it were not for the current Fengxiang army, they would be in a state of great momentum, Maybe some veteran generals have gone to shuwaige.

However, Lu que thinks that this is not bad. Everyone's understanding of war is not the same. This also leads to a significant personal style in everyone's way of leading the army, just like his father Lu Chun's strategy is to plan before moving, to plan the overall situation first, and then to fight, while his mentor Bai Lijia's strategy is to attack the enemy's key points with strange and dangerous tactics, so as to achieve the greatest result at the least cost.

Although Lu que understood that Lei xuanjian was right in saying that CI did not take charge of the army, it also depended on the situation and the time. Tianxing kingdom was different from the Three Kingdoms on the grassland in Northern Xinjiang. First of all, Tianxing kingdom was separated from Daxuan in the previous dynasty. Whether it was written etiquette, customs, or the blood flowing in the body, it was in the same line with Daqian. What Daqian wanted was not simply to destroy Tianxing and Nanli, but to bring them into the territory after the war, so that the southern territory would be peaceful and the people would be unified. If Daqian blindly attacked and killed, although it would speed up the whole process of the war, it would affect the people in the future. This was not what Lu que wanted, nor was it what the emperor wanted.

"Ai ~" the flash in Lu Que's eyes didn't agree with him. Naturally, Lei xuanjian, a mature man, saw it. He knew that the saying "benevolence is not in charge of the army" didn't apply all the time, but Lu que was too kind to his own people and the enemy.

Just like the battle of Heyan now, in Lei xuanjian's mind, the best strategy is to attack by force. 100000 Fengxiang soldiers and 50000 Fengxiang cavalry are enough to win Heyan county. Even if Fengxiang soldiers are completely lost after the war, it is worth it. Because as long as 50000 Fengxiang cloud riders break into Tianxing's capital, the whole Tianxing's war potential can be destroyed. Even if we don't attack Star City, Tianxing won't last long. Just looking at Lu's current situation, it is obvious that he does not intend to do so. In the eyes of this 17-year-old boy, 100000 qianerlang is more important than Nahe Yancheng, so Lei xuanjian's mood is very complicated.

"You go. I have something else to do. I'll go first." Lei xuanjian wanted to say something more, but looking at Lu que, who was just like a gentleman of Zang Feng, he could only shake his head, sigh and turn to leave.

Lu que looked at Lei xuanjian's back, his eyes flashed, shook his head and sighed. He naturally understood what Lei xuanjian was thinking. Someone in the outer Pavilion had also proposed to attack Heyan and capture Wangji, but Lu que didn't think it was necessary to consume so many soldiers' lives for the sake of a Heyan city and a Star Kingdom, especially when his strategic advantage was in his hands.

In the eyes of some generals, the lives of soldiers are only a number after the war, but Lu que doesn't think so. It's true that there will be bloodshed in the war, but why let them die when they can save their lives? In Lu's opinion, this is an unacceptable thing. Even if the population of Da Qian is hundreds of millions, he doesn't care about this loss. But those officers and soldiers who have parents, wives and children to look forward to their return depend on their families. As a last resort, Lu will never allow such a thing to happen.

Lu que was silent for a while. He turned to the attic and went up to the second floor. He knew that the first Luo Cang LAN would stay in the study on the third floor of the attic. This place overlooks the whole Fengming Academy. According to Luo Cang LAN, we can see the students who are full of vitality here, which makes him feel much younger.

Lu que came to the study on the third floor, gently clasped the door, heard the voice of Luo canglan, and then pushed the door in.

"Mr. Luo, are you looking for me?" Lu que respectfully saluted the old man sitting at the round table.

"Here you are." Luo canglan took a look at Lu que, pointed to the tea set on the table and said, "I just made a pot of new tea, which was sent by one of my former students. Although it's not better than Liuyun tea, it also has a different flavor. I know you're a good tea man. Come and have a taste."

Lu qiaowen went to the round table and sat down. He took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for each of them. He saw that the tea soup poured into the fine porcelain white cloud cup was apricot yellow, clear and fragrant. He picked up the cup and put it into his throat in three mouthfuls. He felt a sweet and mellow feeling Lingering between his lips and teeth.

"Baiyun cup with Yunding Tea, the first one. This is Yunding Huangya." Lu que opened the lid of the pot and looked inside. He looked up at Luo canglan and asked in surprise.

He is a tea lover. Even if some of the best teas have never been tasted by himself, he knows most of them in the tea classics. The tea in this pot is firm and straight, with golden buds and bright color. In addition to the color and taste of the tea soup, only the yellow buds of Yunding mountain in Qingquan county can match his name in Lu Que's cognition. Last time he passed Qingquan County, he was in a hurry, The annual output of this tea is too small, so I didn't drink it. Unexpectedly, I got Yunding Huangya, one of the top twelve teas in the tea dictionary.

"It's true that he is a tea lover. Yes, this is Yunding Huangya." Luo canglan nodded with a smile.

"Lao Guogong, I don't know why you asked the students to come here?" After three courses of tea, Lu que asked.

"It's nothing. I just heard that you went back to school and wanted to see you." Luo Cang LAN touched the gray beard of his chin and said, "Lu que, I've been puzzled about something. I wonder if you can help me?"

"Lao Guogong, please tell me that Lu que must know everything and say everything." Lu que Wen Yan grabs the teapot's hand and opens his mouth slightly.

"You are the most gifted student I have ever met. With your mind, you should be pure-minded and pursue the supreme martial arts. Moreover, as you are, you have the ability to escape from the world. Why do you have to get involved in the court disputes?" Luo Cang LAN looked at Lu Que and said.

In fact, Luo canglan wanted to ask this question for a long time, but before Lu que was trapped in xiyuanze, he went to waige soon after he returned to Beijing, which made him unable to find such an opportunity. He didn't oppose Lu Que's ascendancy and reorganize the imperial platform with his youthful spirit and brilliant momentum. He was the Prime Minister of Da Qian before Zhuge Xing. He assisted two generations of emperors and naturally understood the emperor's intention and Princess Chang's mind. However, he didn't understand why Lu que, his favorite student, would make such a choice that he would be trapped in the situation.

"The first seat is full of people's hearts, and the world of mortals is full of love. If Lu can't get into it, how can he come out?" Lu que smiles and tells us what no one knows except his parents and Gu Qingcheng. If he had not been trapped in xiyuanze and had not seen the Huo clan strongman and the ancient tomb of Xihuang, he might have gone back to the mountain with Gu Qingcheng after graduating from the academy to live in seclusion and meditate. Even if his mother wanted him to stay in Daqian, he would follow his true thoughts.

But now that he knows the lives of some ancient saints, he also wants to find out what these ancient saints really care about and protect, what are the secrets hidden in this land where the human race has lived for 10000 years, and why no alien race has returned to the land where they once lived after the emperors retired.

"You are kind-hearted when you practice in the world of mortals." Luo Cang LAN smell speech to stare at landing to lack to see for a while, some emotion of say "but since is such, I also rest assured."

"What is Lao Guogong worried about?" Lu que asked with some doubts.

"Lu que, you should know that when your majesty wanted to make you commander of the second grade army, I opposed it. Do you think I was standing on the side of the noble family and supporting it?" Luo Cang LAN looked at Lu lack one eye, light say.

"Students never think that way." Lu que shook his head. "When I was very young, my father once told me about the people and things in the capital. The most mentioned person in my father's mouth was Lao Guogong. I know that with Lao Guogong's mind, I would not care about the position of military commander."

"Oh? What did your father say about me? " Luo Cang LAN hears speech a Leng, the opening asks a way.

Lu qiaolue recalled for a moment and said, "my father once said to me that after you passed away from Zhengshi, you supported the great Qian Dynasty with your own strength. After the death of the first emperor, you could even out the civil strife and help your majesty ascend the throne. During the northern expedition to Qingyang in those years, the Treasury was empty, and it was you who supported the northern army's supplies and grass. Daqian's ability to restore national strength so quickly was inseparable from the efforts of the old Duke. You are a real minister to pacify the country and let go the old and bring in the new. "

"I'm not as good as your father said." Luo Cang LAN laughed twice and said, "as a minister, these are what I should do. There's nothing to boast about. But you just said that I'm a minister who wants to let go of the old and bring in the new. Now you have the power. The six armies in southern Xinjiang are all transferred by you. The power of the evergreen army is also in your hands. What kind of minister do you think you are?"
