Bastard’s Resurgence

Things in Biyun Pavilion are constantly fermenting, and Lu Zheng's reputation in Jinling has also grown.

His two poems "Linjiang Immortal" and "The Case of Qingyu" have now become the most popular lyrics in Qinhuai River, and the possible story between Lu Zheng and Biyunge, the top oiran in Jinling, Fan Duoduo, has become more of a story. The focus of everyone's discussion.

Before the Biyun Poetry Meeting, the people of Jinling had never heard the name Lu Zheng. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng became a fire overnight.

Because of the attention of many people, things about Lu Zheng's birth, origin, and so on are gradually being talked about. Lu Zheng is the birthplace of the Lu family's concubine.

He was sent to Yangzhou a few years ago to take part in the boy test in Luzheng, Yangzhou. He was the leader of the county test, the government test, and the hospital test.

Lu Zheng returned to Jinling more than a month ago, but did not live in Lu's house in Jiangning. Instead, he lived in Liuhe County, Yingtian County, and was guided by Zun Nieyong in Liuhe County.

Lu Zheng's experience was picked up within a few days. His experience is legendary, has a story, and can be sympathetic to others. For a while, Lu Zheng's name was even more promoted.

It is also said that on the day of the Biyun Poetry Meeting, Lu Zheng and Li Mu were both by Fan Duoduo, and the two men competed with each other. Lu Zheng and Li Mu had a fierce literary fight. The result was that Li Mu was defeated. After Zheng's words were made, Li Mu didn't dare to pick up the pen, so Dingy left.

After the Biyun Poetry Meeting, Li Mu's immediate appreciation of the guests behind closed doors seemed to confirm this statement. Almost everyone was very interested in this topic, because it meant that the position of Jinling's top talent might have changed hands.

Another more important point is that Fan Duoduo, Jinling's first oiran, has always been aloof, and now, the appearance of Lu Zheng seems to finally make Fan Duoduo fall in love with him. Many years later, such things will still be Jinling. Story.

...

In Liuhe County, Biyun Tower, this restaurant is only one word from Biyun Pavilion. From this alone, one can know that there must be the shadow of Gu's family behind Biyun Tower.

Nie Yong is here today to entertain guests with Lu Zheng to accompany him, and the guest Nie Yong wants to invite is Cheng Hu, a member of the Nanfu Army Cavalry Battalion. Recently, Liuhe has been very lively, mainly because of the Biyun Poetry Club. The talents of Jinling gathered in Liuhe, and Lu Zheng's door was surrounded by water.

Being famous too quickly, Lu Zheng was really caught off guard. In the past few days, he simply lived in the county government to avoid the edge, and today's banquet for Cheng Hu was another key step in Lu Zheng's plan for Nie Yong.

According to Lu Zheng's plan, the fifth battalion of the Liuhe Nanfu Army had to change its location and station one of its battalions along the river.

In this regard, Lu Zheng made no secret of his intentions. This is to find a breakthrough for Nie Yong's control of Liuhe County, and also to facilitate Zhan Tianqi to divide and rule the Nanfu Army.

However, this matter is very simple to say. From the lieutenant to the following generals of the Nanfu Army, they are all old Jianghu. Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi arranged for them to go down the mountain.

In order to achieve his goal, Nie Yong had privately used Zhan Tianqi’s military orders to meet with a few participating generals, but the results were nothing short of nothing. The good situation that Lu Zheng had planned was originally due to this one reason. If it can’t be resolved, All the arrangements Lu Zheng made before will be in vain.

Southern Army Cavalry Battalion Cheng Hu, a typical northerner, his thousands of cavalry were transferred from the Jiliao area, and they were veritable Great Kanghu cavalry. As the leader of such an army, Cheng Hu's beard, black face, leopard head and ring eyes looked like Zhang Fei at first glance.

At the banquet, after the guest and host were seated, Cheng Hu stared at Nie Yong with squinting eyes, then looked at Lu Zheng, smiled, and said:

"Students are the most scheming. I'm an old man. Don't use your flowers on my old Cheng. If it really hurts me, hehe, Lao Cheng will kill him if he turns his face and refuses to recognize people. !"

When Cheng Hu said this, Nie Yong couldn't help but groan secretly. He had failed several times before. This time he really didn't have the confidence, so he turned his attention to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng lowered his head and pretended not to see it. Cheng Hu patted the table and said, "Wu Na boy, don't pretend! The reason why Lao Cheng went down to the banquet today is for you! Hey, Qinhuaihe The ladies are pretty, and I can’t look down on our big guys. Today I see your kid looks like this, and I don’t know where those ladies look down on you. Hey, I'm not convinced by the old Cheng!"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, and said: "General Cheng, you led five thousand tigers in Jiliao to fight Beiyan, and you smashed the enemy camp in three battles. That is a hero for the first time. It's a pity that General Cheng is here now. This land of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a saying that the gentle town, the hero's tomb, the adults add to the heart of the brothel ladies, I wonder if the five thousand tigers of the adults can still fight?"

Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, and said, "You kid, do you still know the achievements of Lao Cheng? I have trained the five thousand tigers under my seat. As long as the emperor's order, you believe it or not. I can immediately lead them to the north and kill Ji Liao within two days, killing those wild northern swallows without leaving them!

Lu Zheng sneered, and said: "General Cheng, are you really afraid to flash your tongue? I, a weak Jiangnan scholar, still have doubts about whether the Nanfu Army Cavalry Battalion can stand again, let alone the court, let alone the emperor?"

Lu Zheng paused and said: "Soldiers, important affairs of the country. In the past few years, there have been wars in the Jiliao area. In order to deal with Beiyan, the court adjusted all the soldiers and horses in the world. Last year, it was the head of Sanyi Jiliao. Soldier, why is there such a big movement, what happened to you Cheng Hu? Sometimes generals are just like beauties, beauties are easy to grow old, and generals are also like this. General Cheng Hu is just like you are now, hehe, Just wait for the old Jiangnan in this life!"

Cheng Hu slapped the table and stood up suddenly, saying: "You...you... fart! I...I...you...come, give me this kid..."

"Okay, General Cheng, this is under the rule of Liuhe County. Under what law did General Cheng take me? Do you really think that with five thousand cavalry in your hand, you can do whatever you want in Jiangnan and support the soldiers?"

Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, his hands shook, and his chopsticks fell to the ground. The so-called expert stretched out his hand to know if there was any. Cheng Hu and Lu Zheng only had to say a few words, and he was in an absolutely passive position, and he couldn't vent his heart, and what Lu Zheng said was justified. .

How is the general not fighting on the battlefield different from the dead bones in the mound? It has been three years since Cheng Hu transferred from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, and every day of these three years has been like a year for him. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that these words of Lu Zheng were on his heart and made him painful.

When Nie Yong saw this scene on the side, he couldn't help but sigh inexplicably. He didn't expect that Lu Zheng knew Cheng Hu so deeply, and he took the initiative by talking a few words. Lu Zheng's keenness and wit, Nie Yong, was ashamed of it. .

However, when things got to this point, where did Nie Yong still not understand Lu Zheng's intentions? He immediately said: "General Cheng despise scholars, but the world is governed by scholars.

The general is dedicated to his country, and he is not afraid of the horse leather shroud, which is rare in the world for such loyal and brave men. However, it may be extremely difficult to realize your ambitions with the ability of a general. Brother Lu Jiazheng, the number one talented man in Jinling, you have this opportunity today. Don't ask more for advice. When will you wait? "

Cheng Hu sighed for a long time, clasped his fist and said to Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, Cheng Hu was reckless and offended! Since Master Lu understands Cheng Hu's current difficulties, he must have already had a plan. Cheng Hu begs him to give him advice. ."

Lu Zheng stared at Cheng Hu, smiled coldly, and said, "General Cheng, if you want to realize your ambition, you must first understand what kind of army the Nanfu Army is!

The first emperor suppressed the Jiangnan power lords, brought the Nanfu Army, the private soldiers of the Jiangnan Power lords, to Dakang, disintegrated the fifth battalion of the Nanfu Army, and then transferred troops from all over the country to form a new Nanfu Army.

Just like General Cheng, he was originally from the North, but now he is a member of the Jiangnan Nanfu Army. The existence of the Nanfu Army is mainly to stabilize Jiangnan and guard the Dakang Granary.

The most important thing is to deter the Jiangnan power sect, so that the Jiangnan power sect does not dare to think of rebellion. So General Cheng, the burden on your shoulders is actually very heavy, and there is a long way to go! "

Cheng Hu sneered, and said: "The heavy responsibilities are long, the Jiangnan power sect has long existed in name only. At the moment, the Gu family can encourage and support one or two. With the current Jiangnan power sect, they dare to have a rebellious heart?"

Lu Zheng clapped his hands and said: "That's right! General Cheng is insightful to the situation, but the emperor is in the capital, living above the temple, how can he understand and grasp the various powers of Jiangnan like a general?

General, if you can trust me, I can help you to ensure that you will be able to get rid of the shackles of the Southern Army within two years. Your five thousand tigers will have the opportunity to return to the North, and you will also have the opportunity to gallop again. How about on the battlefield? "

Lu Zheng's words were impassioned, Cheng Hu's eyes flashed, and his mood was extremely restless. Cheng Hu looks like a big boss on the surface, but in fact he is very delicate and sensitive.

He knew well about Nie Yong's banquet this time, and he probably knew what was going on before he came. He thought, unless the sun came out from the west, otherwise he couldn't listen to Nie Yong's mercy and let the Nanfu Army go down the mountain, wouldn't it be necessary to let the Nanfu Army abolish martial arts?

The Nanfu Army is the army of the imperial court and the emperor's army. Once divided and ruled, it is very likely that the Nanfu Army will become the private soldiers of the courtiers. For example, this time Zhan Tianqi served as the chief governor of the Nanfu Army. Everyone in the world knows that this person is the confidant of the prince. If Zhan Tianqi controls the military power, wouldn't the Nanfu Army belong to the East Palace?

However, what Cheng Hu never expected was that Lu Zheng was so powerful, and Cheng Hu felt that he had fallen into Lu Zheng's control without knowing it...
