Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran was silent for a long time. After a while, he had a drink with Zhang Lue to relieve his unhappiness.

    Just listen to Zhang Lue say: "In short, this year in Hongyuan has been very unhappy. I wanted to go into battle and fight, but now my army and the Xia people are facing each other across the Baihe natural barrier. It is difficult to fight. It is really uncomfortable to have time."  . Now that I have experienced this again in Lushan, I have begun to think about quitting."

    Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "Zhang Shouyu is in his prime now, and he is in charge of commanding others. How can he retreat lightly?"

    Zhang Lue said: "I have been in the army for many years. I know my own affairs, and I am already the first to command others. How can it be so easy to go up again? I joined the army as soon as I introduced Bai Ding, and there was no one in the court to support me. I wanted to be promoted.  Being a commander is nothing more than a dream. To be honest with Abbot Zhao, Zhang is now more successful than when he was young. I am satisfied with this title. The main thing is that I want to take the few remaining brothers home. I can't bear it.  Everyone died at the border."

    "Zhang Shouyu wants to return to the capital?"

    "Yes, it's true that you can't return home without being rich, just like walking at night in brocade clothes. It would be best if you could go back to the capital. But that's not possible. I also hope to be closer to home. After all, I have been away from home for so many years and have not served my parents. It is really unfilial. Whenever I think about it,  After that, I felt so ashamed that I couldn't bear to be ashamed. I talked to Du Jianyuan about this matter, and he agreed to help me plan it, but I thought that although Du Jianyuan escaped from Lushan, he might not be able to move here for me.  There will be no hope for at least one or two years." He said with a smile to himself: "I originally planned to return with Du Supervisor Yuan today, but Du Supervisor Yuan said it was not appropriate, and now I have to avoid suspicion"

    "What about Zhou Buzheng? Zhou Buzheng used to be the governor of Western Sichuan, and Zhang Shouyu is his old subordinate, right? Have you ever thought about taking the path of Zhou Buzheng?"

    "Passed by Zhou Buzheng was born as a genuine Jinshi, and he came from a family of officials and gentry, so he looked down upon me, a rough and tumble man in the army. Furthermore, there were countless soldiers and guards in all the armies in central Sichuan, and a small fourth-rank man like me  Qian Shi, how can Zhou Buzheng take care of it? I went to visit him at the end of last year, and he only said to wait for the opportunity"

    Looking at the deep frustration and loneliness in Zhang Lue's eyes, Zhao Ran felt compassion.  Zhao Ran naturally felt close to this once "comrade in the same trench". What's more, Zhang Lue served the Ming Dynasty at the border for eighteen years and made countless military exploits. Zhao Ran was still very willing to have such a heroic man.  If there is a good ending, if he really dies in battle - even though this is the fate of a soldier, Zhao Ran will lament the unfair fate for him.

    So he asked: "When will Zhang Shouyu return to Sichuan?"

    Zhang Lue said: "I'll leave tomorrow."

    "Has the boat been hired?"

    "This is natural."

    Zhao Ran said: "Then let's go together so we can have company on the way? I can also save some shipping fares."

    Zhang Lue smiled and said: "That's good, that's good. I'm just afraid of causing trouble to Abbot Zhao."

    "It doesn't matter. I am different from Du Jian Yuan. This time the President is investigating Du Jian Yuan's case. It is right for him to avoid suspicion, but it doesn't matter to me."

    "Well, I moved to Xunyang Town at the foot of the mountain to rest yesterday, and I am waiting for Abbot Zhao to go with me. After Abbot Zhao is done, he can go to the Honglai Inn in Zhendong to find me"

    Just as he was talking, the bartender knocked on the door and came in to change the tea. Suddenly Zhang Lue paused, looked towards the corridor, and said to Zhao Ran: "Abbott, wait a moment." He got up and walked out quickly, shouting at the door: "Old man  Luo, it is indeed you!"

    I saw Zhang Lue and a lean man at the door embracing each other and laughing.  After a while, Zhang Lue took this person into the private room and said to the bartender: "Hurry up and add more food and wine." Then he introduced to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, this is my good friend, Luo Hong, who is called Luo in the army.  The magic arrow, a string of arrows in one hand, is really superb. He was transferred from Baima Mountain in April last year, and now he is serving thousands of households in Wuchang Guards."

    Zhao Ran got up and met Luo Hong. Luo Hong sang respectfully: "I have met Abbot Zhao."

    Zhao Ran asked: "Does Luo Qianhu have any friends? Why don't we invite them to get together?"

    Luo Hong said: "I was passing by here and heard from the boatman that the Lushan Three Stones and One Tea was very good, so I came over to have a taste. It's just a few soldiers, let them eat by themselves."

    Zhang Lue asked: "Where is Lao Luo going?"

    Luo Hong replied: "Brother Zhang, I am going to Dasheng Pass. Under the Ministry of War, three thousand households from Wuchang Guards were transferred to Dasheng Pass to change the defense. It is my turn to do this job. The brothers are all eating by the river. I  It¡¯s time to come up here and try something new. After a meal, you have to continue on the boat. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you, brother.¡±

    So the three of them sat around and drank together.

    After three drinks, Zhang Lue said to Luo Hong: "Lao Luo, this Abbot Zhao, do you know who Abbot Zhao he is?"

    Luo Hong's eyes lit up: "But Zhao Miaozhu in Guyang County? Now it's FangGot it?  "

    Zhang Lue laughed: "You must be clever!"

    Luo Hong stood up and raised his glass: "Ye Xueguan is discussing a big matter, and Abbot Zhao has become famous. All the guards of Songfan know about this matter. Without Abbot Zhao's advice, where would the structure of Songfan be today? Abbot Luo Moujing  Three cups!¡±

    Zhao Ran hurriedly got up and finished his drink, and couldn't help but wonder: "Do I have such a great reputation? Has it spread to the army?"

    Luo Hong said with a smile: "The abbot may not know, Governor Zhou, well, now he is the governor, and the governor is full of praise for the abbot. I mentioned the abbot in several military meetings before I left Songfan last year."

    Zhang Lue added: "After Governor Zhou was appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Governor Xia who took over also mentioned the abbot and said that the abbot was very successful in managing people's livelihood."

    The newly appointed Governor of Xia is Xia Ji. He was born as a Jinshi in Yimao Branch in the first year of Jiajing. He first observed the administration of the Ministry of Husbandry and was later appointed as the head of the Ministry of Husbandry.  In the 10th year of Jiajing's reign, the magistrate of Qiantang County was removed, and he later moved to Hangzhou Prefecture to promote himself as an official.  In the 17th year of Jiajing's reign, he was transferred to the same magistrate of the capital, and in June of the 19th year, he was appointed as the magistrate of Long'an.

    Zhao Ran still remembered that last year, Xia Ji came to Junshan Temple for an inspection. He and he had spent a day together.  In July 20th, he was appointed governor of Western Sichuan, which was equivalent to a promotion of half a rank.

    Zhao Ran humbled himself and asked Xia Ji about his current situation, and the three of them talked about Luo Hong's transfer.

    Zhang Lue said enviously: "Lao Luo, how did you successfully switch from Wuchang to Dasheng Pass? This is the gateway to the west of the capital, an important place for the country and the dynasty. Brother, you are really lucky. After arriving in the capital, you were under the nose of the Ministry of War.  As long as you do it well, commanding people and envoys is easy."

    Luo Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Although the future looks good, it's not going to be easy this time."

    "What's wrong?" Zhang Lue was very curious. Seeing Luo Hong's hesitation, he immediately said: "Abbot Zhao is one of our own, there is nothing bad to say."

    Luo Hong said: "That's not to avoid Abbot Zhao. It's just that the situation is a bit complicated. I don't know where to start."
