Chapter 117
Zhang Liao said: "Brother, is this true?"
Lu Ning said: "That's right. But you can help me deal with something. Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan and the Wei family in Hedong have an engagement. You can send someone to retreat. If we don't come forward, Old Man Cai dares to offend the Wei family and can't afford to offend him. He is a descendant of General Wei Qing."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "As long as the elder brother likes it, let alone having an engagement with the Wei family, even if the elder brother likes the emperor's daughter, I will also take the troops to snatch her back and give it to the elder brother."
Tian Chou said: "Don't worry, lord, I will handle this matter. I will forgive you for not offending us. By the way, lord, after dealing with the Wei family, will we ask someone to propose marriage to Mr. Cai?" Damn, do you still need to ask this? Lu Ning nodded.
Sima Lang said: "Brother, should we write to the emperor about Ding Yuanzong's son sending troops to murder court officials privately, so that the emperor can teach Ding Yuan and his son a lesson."
Tian Chou said: "We should not only participate in Ding Yuan, but also say that even if Ding Yuan used recruiting soldiers as a shaman, he bullied the people everywhere, and let the recruited soldiers dressed up as bandits and burned, killed, robbed, and did everything bad things. Even the officials in the court dared to murder them, so who would dare not kill them?"
After hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "There is also the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang, who should I participate in it together?"
Sima Lang said: "Wang Kuang of Hanoi will not participate for the time being. As long as we send someone to tell the prefect Wang Kuang that Lu Bu let the government army dress up as bandits and do bad things everywhere. Our Bingzhou lord Lu Ning was attacked by Lu Bu's six thousand officials dressed as bandits. That happened on his territory. If he did not have the ability to suppress the bandits, we would send troops to Hanoi to suppress the bandits. If he let Lu Bu stay in Hanoi and do wrong things, we would also go out to Hanoi to capture the fake bandits alive. The consequences were Wang Kuang himself. This would be more useful than submitting memorials to him. They are scared of us now, for fear that we will use any excuses to deal with them. Ding Yuan's case has a great deterrence to them."
After hearing their words, Lu Ning said, "This matter is as you said. What I want to discuss with you now is that our Bingzhou is basically operating normally. We lack a large number of internal affairs talents and a large number of middle and lower-level officers. I think we will set up two schools ourselves, one of Bingzhou Government Affairs College, which is specifically used to train the internal affairs talents we need; the other Bingzhou Military Academy, which is specifically used to train the middle and lower-level officers of our army. If this matter goes well, after two or three years, we will have the talents we have cultivated, so that we can't find talents everywhere, and we are unwilling to come, and waste time."
Sima Lang said: "This is also a way to go. I also agreed to build two schools, but where will our teachers invite you?"
Tian Chou smiled and said, "Boda, the lord means that we all have become teachers."
Lu Ning said: "The school's territory can be expanded a little. As for construction, it can be built year by year, so that our pressure will be much smaller and our funds will be saved a lot. In short, we can build it within our capacity."
Sima Lang said: "Then it's decided."
The next day, Lu Ning called all the civil and military officials under his command. First, Lu Ning said to them: "There is another thing. I want to ask the court to ask our army to send troops to Pingyang, Hedong, Qiang and Hu during the winter and spring season to clear the Huns there. The prefects in those places have been destroyed in name only. The people are displaced and fled to our Bingzhou. I want to deal with the Huns and Tartars well, but I ask the court to let us control Hedong, Pingyang, Qiang and Hu, and North places where the Huns gather, otherwise we will not be able to conquer the Huns. If the court agrees, then we will send troops this winter. Of course, it is best if we can trick the court from the court to some food and grass. At the same time, we must also eliminate the 50,000 or 60,000 tatars' record on the grassland."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "If the court agrees, then we have something to do in winter and firmly support it."
Sima Lang said: "Brother really wants to attack the Huns, aren't you afraid that the Huns will take revenge on our army?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I only have a few hundred people in my hands, and I am not afraid of a thousand people. What's more, now we have sixty or seventy thousand tigers and wolves. Eliminating all the Tartars is my greatest wish and pursuit in my life."
Tian Chou said: "If we control Hedong and Pingyang, then our salt problem will be solved."
Lu Ning said: "The main reason why I asked to control Hedong was to eat salt. After our army controlled Hedong, all the salt industry would be taken back to the prefecture. No private person could be mined, and all existing private salt mines were confiscated."
Sima Lang said: "If this is the case, then the wealthy families in Hedong will have a good end of their lives."
Zhang Liao said again: "Brother, will you still attack the Xianbei Tartars this winter?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Of course we have to attack. We have grown up and grown through continuous attacks, especially our army's war horses, weren't they all stolen from the Xianbei Tartars? We now have nearly 200,000 war horses. When Zilong comes back, we should bring back a lot of war horses."
Sima Lang said: "Brother, there are more war horses now, and it consumes a lot of food and grass."
Lu Ning was stunned when he heard Sima Lang's words. Damn, what's this? Lu Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "The Zhang Yan's troops of the Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountains have not harassed our jurisdiction."
Tian Chou said: "Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army has never harassed us. They all went to Jizhou to rob and never violated us. This may be because he has placed a large number of disaster victims and refugees in us. It is estimated that many of his Yellow Turban Army families have sent us to us for resettlement. In addition, our army has always attacked the Tartars to protect the country and the people. Zhang Yan is also a great man, so he will never bite us back."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Zi Tai, please mobilize people to help me search for Guan Ning in Beihai. Where do you live now? If Guan Ning can get it, it would be great for us. After Guan Ning comes, we can pull the tiger's skin and pull the flag." Hahaha.
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Sima Lang said, "Brother, Guan Ning, Guan You'an is a great scholar in the world and a famous sage. Why do you want to kidnap again? This person cannot be kidnapped, which will arouse public anger among scholars all over the world. This matter cannot be done. If you kidnap us, we will not have much impact. If Guan Ning is kidnapped, it will cause great trouble."
Tian Chou also said anxiously: "Lord, Guan Ning must not be kidnapped. He is a master of Confucian scholars and has too much influence among Confucian scholars. This is considered to be the high-ranking nobles, and the high-ranking nobles only dare to treat each other with courtesy. Although Guan Ning ignored them, none of them dared to mess with Guan Ning."
