Chapter 229 Official Position (1)
Although Jiuyuan is not rich, it is a large county with a population of 10,000 households, and the government office is naturally well-built.
White walls and black tiles.
The large buildings are connected by corridors, but the soldiers are spinning around, no one is so big-hearted, stop and admire slowly.
Da da da……
The military boots stepped on the wooden planks. Currently, Lu Li was still white. He consciously walked at the back of the line, trying his best to make himself unremarkable. However, compared to other generals, his handsome and youthful face still attracted a lot of attention.
Some maids wearing deep skirts stopped on the road and in the corridors, pointed at Lu Li secretly, chatted in a low voice, and hurriedly dispersed when they saw him looking over. Far away, they got together again and began to discuss this strange and too young young general.
"This way, generals, Mr. Ding is in the study."
The guides were not sergeants, but two doormen in black clothes with high crowns and long sleeves fluttering.
It can be seen from this that Ding Yuan is not a simple martial artist, he pays more attention to ostentation.
Thinking about the attitude of those maids towards him, Lu Li added another sentence in his mind:
Informality.
After all, a wealthy family who really pays attention to the rules will not condone the female family members in the family.
In the silence, a group of people came to a courtyard. The doormen in black stopped leading the way. They stood outside and bowed to beckon everyone to go in.
Zhang Liao didn't talk too much, apparently he came to see Ding Yuan frequently, and walked ahead to lead the way.
The yard is not small, with blue brick pavement, about thirty steps back and forth, extending to the wall from left to right, and some honeysuckle and a few clusters of withered and yellow bamboo are planted. survive.
The only thing worthy of praise is that someone deliberately placed a small copper sparrow sundial in the weeds.
Perhaps Ding Gong specially ordered it to show that he cares about time, is keen on handling political and military affairs, and has no time to rest.
Well, there is really no basis for this point, it's purely Lu Li's imagination.
It's hard to imagine that at this time the day before yesterday, he was still fighting with the Yellow Turban Bandits, and was about to go to Luoyang to find the yet-to-be-prospered Boss Cao, but now he appeared in the other courtyard of the hero Ding Yuan, waiting for his brother Zhang Liao to introduce him on his behalf.
Has fate already been secretly doomed?
Frankly speaking, when he was about to meet the real Lord of Bingzhou, the man who could decide his own destiny with a single word, Lu Li's heart would inevitably start to stir.
"My lord."
"My lord."
Led by Zhang Liao, more than a dozen generals filed into the study room. Lu Li followed behind and bowed his hands deeply. At the same time, he took the opportunity to quickly look ahead.
The stove was blazing, and the man sitting at the desk writing official documents had gray temples, but he was tall and burly, showing no signs of aging.
At this moment, he had stopped writing, he was looking at the generals in the audience, and said slowly in his mouth:
"The old man thought that you would have to arrive tonight at the earliest. You have worked hard all the way, so sit down."
"promise!"
Zhang Liao responded, and once again led the crowd forward, each sitting on a mat.
Since it was the first time they met, and it was such an important occasion to meet the lord, Lu Li, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but straighten his body, looking at his nose and heart, waiting for Zhang Liao to introduce himself to Ding Yuan.
"Is there no need to repeat the situation now?"
"Yes, the Yellow Turban bandits raised troops from Hexi County, colluded with the Qiang people, and attacked Taiyuan to the north. The Southern Xiongnu and the mixed Hu soldiers were besieging the two counties of Yunzhong and Yanmen, and Zhang Yi, the governor, was trapped on the border."
Unfortunately, as soon as the two met, they started talking about serious matters. Lu Li could only kneel on the soft seat and listen patiently.
"good."
Ding Yuan seemed to have thought of something ridiculous, clicked his tongue, and said suddenly: "Wen Yuan, how do you think the current situation should be handled?"
Zhang Liao remained silent, but the famous general on the opposite side couldn't hold back, and said bluntly:
"Divide the troops into two routes, one route goes south to join the county soldiers to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits, and the other route goes north to rescue the assassin and keep the enemy out of the country."
boom!
Immediately afterwards, there was a slap on the table.
Lu Li looked up, and saw that the speaker was around thirty, with a square face, two thick eyebrows, and a full beard, giving off a rough and bold look.
For some reason, I always feel that this guy is going to be cold. In fact, it is not difficult to see that Ding Yuan, who is the leader of Bingzhou, doesn't want to rescue the governor, otherwise he would have to wait until now, and the nearby county soldiers would have been sent north to help.
Subconsciously, Lu Li secretly glanced at Ding Yuan who was sitting at the top.
At this moment, he lowered his eyes and said: "This old man also thinks the same, but the strength in his hand is limited."
After saying that, Ding Yuan raised his hand, and a guard understood, walked to the table and passed on an official document placed on it.
Probably because there wasn't much content, Zhang Liao glanced at it and passed it on. At the same time, Lu Li noticed that his face was more solemn.
What is written on it?
It's a pity that this kind of internal military situation must not be leaked.
Because of this, Lu Li resumed his original posture and continued to sit upright like an outsider until Zhang Liao's gentle voice came from the front:
"Meng Ming, you should take a look too."
Hearing this, Lu Li was stunned for a moment, first he looked at his elder brother who treated him kindly, and then at Ding Yuan who was sitting in the main hall.
At the same time, more than a dozen generals looked at this place, as if it should be taken for granted.
In fact, ever since they witnessed Lu Li's methods in the school field, these rough guys have already regarded him as one of their own.
Seeing that the person he recommended was looking at him, Ding Yuan smiled on his tense face, nodded, stroked his beard and said: "Meng Ming? Now that I see him, he really lives up to his name.”
With a good face, Yideng Tianzitang.
From the hereditary system in the pre-Qin period to the examination system in the Han Dynasty, in the selection of officials, although most of them advocate virtue and talent, they also pay attention to family background, appearance and five senses.
In the same way, even in the selection of military generals, appearance can be regarded as a bonus item, Zhao Zilong, the silver spear and white horse, Qi Yuxuan and Lu Bu...
Therefore, Ding Yuan naturally fell in love with Lu Li, who was handsome and capable.
In addition, the battle spirit can be awakened in the year of weak crown, and he was recommended by Zhang Liao's letter. Ding Yuan felt that as long as he was well trained, he would soon have another general under his command who could act alone.
Hearing the boss praise himself.
Lu Li saw that Ding Yuan was also a little more cordial, first he bowed his hands and made a promise, then without any hesitation, he took the copy from the general beside him.
[Xiutu each has 100,000 soldiers, Kou Yunzhong, the left Hu Chen of the Southern Huns has 150,000 soldiers, and Kou Yanmen, the two have the potential to join forces]
250,000 troops?
Lu Li couldn't help frowning. This number is not too much, but it is definitely not too much. In addition, Hu Bing is good at riding and shooting, so the situation in the north is indeed not optimistic.
