Chapter 65 Zuo Feng asks for bribes
In mid-to-late October, Lu Ning and his scouts had almost grasped the situation of the Tuoba tribe, but suddenly they said that the court sent someone to pass the imperial edict. It was said that it was through the unanimous recommendation of the eunuch Zhang Rang and the general He Jin that Lu Ning and their legal status were recognized and appointed Lu Ning as the lieutenant of the Qiang Hunting School and the prefect of Yanmen County. There were a large number of refugees and disaster victims in Yanmen. When the emperor heard that, he could also fight against the Xianbei people. He reduced the tax revenue of Yanmen County for three years with a big pen.
Of course, it was mainly because of Chen Fang, Zhang Chuang and others who bribed Zhang Rang and He Jin, which was mainly because of the ten jars of immortal wine.
I heard that the person who came was a little eunuch, the eunuch Zuo Feng, his grandmother. Isn’t that the person who came from Lu Zhi and Mr. Lu failed to ask for bribes during the Yellow Turban Army. After returning to the court, he slandered Lu Zhi for not sending troops. Isn’t it that he was short of people who fought?
Lu Zhi was hurt by him and was even sent to prison. If it weren't for the great scholars in the court pleading, it would have been a question whether Mr. Lu Zhi could survive.
Lu Ning knew about these situations, knew that Zuo Feng was a corrupt official, and knew that he would ask for bribes every time he went to.
Lu Ning explained Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Sima Lang, Tian Chou and others in advance that he could not afford to offend this person, and everyone should bear the humiliation first and not be skeptical about the eunuch. As long as he treats him with delicious food and drink, he will give him a gift. He will help him speak good words after he goes back, please do not get angry, etc.
After they all agreed to Lu Ning's request, Lu Ning and the others prepared to welcome the eunuch Zuo Feng.
As soon as Zuo Feng arrived, he wanted to pronounce the imperial edict to Lu Ning and the others. Wouldn't that ask Lu Ning to kneel down and receive the imperial edict?
Lu Ning has a problem. Since I was born, I have only kneeled down to my parents, and I have never kneeled down to anyone else. Not to mention that I have never seen the emperor, isn’t that just kneeling down to a cloth? Lu Ning is sick!
Lu Ning said to Zuo Feng, Lord Zuo, you are tired and very hard, it is better to wash up and eat first, and then announce the imperial edict. Sima Lang and the others found it strange, why didn’t you accept the imperial edict first? They knew that Lu Ning didn’t want to kneel down to that cloth.
At the banquet, Lu Ning beat Zuo Feng, a eunuch who was so arrogant that he could not do anything from heaven and earth. He flattered him so loudly.
Zuo Feng smiled and was filled with joy when he heard this. Sima Lang, Tian Chou, Zhao Qu, and others beside him looked contempt and always stared at Lu Ning. What could Lu Ning do? He could only pretend to see nothing. Fortunately, he said hello in advance. Otherwise, they would really make a big fuss.
Lu Ning also told Zuo Feng that the immortal wine given to him and Zhang Rang each of the immortals to drink, and told Zuo Feng that this wine was taught by the immortals, and that the wine that the gods in the sky drank nonsense.
I originally wanted to give you a few more jars, but there was no way. Each jar of this kind of wine requires 2,000 dan of grain, and there are various life, medicines, and raw materials that are very difficult to find, so we can't afford to drink. However, when Lord Zuo came, he barely ate with the adults. Now the only ten jars are given to Lord Zuo and Lord Zhang. I hope that Lord Zuo will tell Lord Zhang Rang and the emperor about Lu Ning's painstaking efforts and loyalty.
Of course, Lu Ning also beat Ding Yuan and Lu Bu and turned it over. Lu Ning and Zuo Feng said that the Governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, did not fight against the Xianbei Tartars, but also had a relationship with the Xianbei Tartars. He Ding Yuan was just selling his country and was a traitor. When we attacked the Xianbei Tartars, we seized some communications between Ding Yuan, Tuoba tribe and Murong clans.
In particular, Ding Yuan also recognized Lu Bu, a Xianbei person as his godson. Lu Bu killed his mother and his father was a Xianxian person. The blood of his blood was the blood of the Tartars. Ding Yuan knew about Lu Bu's life experience and wanted to recognize him as his adopted son. In fact, he had a bad intention and was preparing for the sale of the country. He hoped that Lord Zuo would tell the emperor and Lord Zhang Rang about these situations.
Zuo Feng was unhappy when he heard that the wine he gave him was given to him by the immortals, so he agreed immediately.
When Zuo Feng was drunk and unconscious, Lu Ning of course asked him for the imperial edict. Zuo Feng handed the emperor's cloth to Lu Ning without hesitation, and Lu Ning immediately handed it over to Sima Lang to put it away.
The next day, of course, he sent the plague god Zuo Feng away happily, and Lu Ning didn't have the energy to accompany this bastard again.
After Zuo Feng left, Sima Lang said to Lu Ning: "Brother, did you scare me to Lu Bu kill his mother? And Lu Bu was also scared by you, right? Is this really the case with Ding Yuan colluding with the enemy?"
Lu Ning said very seriously: "Fifth brother, the incident of Lu Bu killing his mother is absolutely true, and this incident is absolutely true. Of course it is true. This is the conclusion drawn by many experts in later generations through many evidence. Lu Bu is also definitely true. Lu Bu is a descendant of the Xianbei people. Lu Bu is a father-in-law of Jiuyuan, his father is a Xianbei people, and his mother is a Han Chinese. He is a big Han woman snatched away by Lu Bu's old man. But Lu Bu is bleeding from the Xianbei Tartars. This is true. As for Ding Yuantong's Tartars, we have some evidence, but not much, but he has no idea to recognize Lu Bu as his adopted son? Of course, based on Lu Bu's character, since he can kill his new mother, I guess if Lu Bu and Ding Yuan have a conflict of interest, it will be a matter of time before Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu, and this is inevitable. Maybe Ding Yuan can't say that even if he raises a wolf."
Sima Lang bowed and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't doubt you, I also believe what I'm saying is the truth." At this time, Tian Chou, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others all showed smiles on their faces. When they saw me with a serious face, they knew it was real.
After Zuo Feng left, Lu Ning said, "Okay, the eunuch has also been sent away. Let's study the issue of sending troops. Let's clean up the Tuoba team so that he will be afraid of dreaming at night."
Zhang Liao said: "Brother, now the Tuoba tribe has moved the capital southward. The nearest one is only a few hundred miles away from us, and the distance is only more than a thousand miles away. If we don't attack them, I guess they will attack us soon."
Ergou continued: "Lord, now our scouts have basically figured out the residence points of the entire tribe after the Tuoba tribe moved south. Now we can go to war with the lord's order."
Zhang He said: "Brother, now you can tell me how you can deal with the Tartars in the Tuoba tribe."
Lu Ning said: "You should keep it confidential before you launch an attack. The first dish I gave to the Xianbei Tartars of Tuoba tribe is roast lamb, which is a delicious roasting table."
Zhang He said: "Brother, if you want to roast lamb, you have to lead the Iron Cavalry of the Tartar to the ambush place. Otherwise, how to roast lamb, it will not be easy to lure them easily now. The Tartars are also learning cunning now."
Lu Ning felt the same when he saw Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Sha'er, Sima Lang, and Tian Chou heard Zhang He's words.
Lu Ning continued to say to them: "You think about it again and you should fully open your mind. You should have a broader idea. Don't just limit yourself to tricks such as luring the enemy or ambushing them all day long."
