Volume 2 Clouds Chapter 9 Night Talk

Han Lingkun inspected the military camp in the moonlight, walking aimlessly, and unknowingly walked to the gate of Luo Youdu's camp.
He was stunned for a moment, shook his head, laughed at himself, then turned around and was about to leave.
“Uncle Han!”
A shout came from behind.
Han Lingkun turned around again and saw that it was Cao Bin. He nodded and said, "Guohua! Are you still awake?"
When Han Lingkun joined the army, he was under the command of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, who was a senior official of the Later Han Dynasty at that time. Cao Bin's father, Cao Yun, was the elder brother of Guo Wei's concubine Zhang. They knew each other because of Guo Wei, and they had a good relationship. Guo Wei also recognized Cao Yun , his son with a simple and honest character.
"I just finished listening to the teacher's teachings. It's hot inside the tent. I came out to enjoy the breeze and cool down, and study it carefully!"
Han Lingkun asked curiously, "Is Luo Dujian really that amazing? He is about the same age as you, right?"
Cao Bin said seriously, "Since ancient times, the wise have been teachers. How can their knowledge be determined by age? Luo Dujian is extremely knowledgeable and has the insight of a saint. Every time I listen to his teachings, I can gain insights. Even if I follow him and see how he behaves in the world, I can gain a lot."
Han Lingkun sighed, "Is Luo Youdu a god? What you said makes me feel itchy. I can only blame myself for being blind and being the first one to stand out."
It was not only Cao Bin who made him feel this way, but also Wang Jing.
Wang Jing, a veteran who had been in the world for more than 50 years, was actually angry and cried in front of him, hating himself for not being able to open his heart to his brother Luo earlier, so that he could not have a drink and chat with him.
The biggest regret in this life.
It’s only been a few days?
Wang Jing was like a possessed man. He would go to Luo Youdu every day and regret every day that he was short of a few jars of wine.
Wang Jing's attitude towards Luo Youdu is visible to the naked eye.
From not wanting to offend at first, to "calling each other brothers" later, to now being open-hearted, Han Lingkun saw it all and was amazed at it.
"Calling each other brothers" is understandable. On the one hand, Luo Youdu took on the pressure of the Privy Council alone, allowing them to fight without any scruples, which was indeed touching. But what really made them "call each other brothers" was the sentence that went straight to the ears of the emperor.
For a warlord like Wang Jing who holds local military and political power, it is a rare opportunity to make friends with someone who can directly reach the top.
“Calling each other brothers” does not mean true brotherhood, it is full of interests.
Han Lingkun could understand everything Wang Jing did. If he were in his shoes, he would probably do the same.
But in the following days, Wang Jing's friendship with Luo Youdu grew stronger day by day, which could not be explained simply by "being brothers".
It really feels like we share the same interests and it feels like we met too late.
Cao Bin also knew why Han Lingkun sighed, and said, "Mr. Han is magnanimous and has a lot of praise for Uncle Han, which shows that he has no grudges against me. Mr. Han is worthy of making friends, Uncle Han may as well give it a try."
Han Lingkun hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are Luo Dujian and Bao Guogong talking about? They are so happy. If it's inconvenient, just pretend that your uncle didn't ask."
Cao Bin said: "There is no secret in what they talked about, but the way they talked was a little strange. Loyalty, they often talked about Ji Hanzhuang, Miao Hou, and Guan Yu."
"Guan Yu?"
Han Lingkun was full of doubts.
At this time, Luo Youdu in the tent was annoyed by the mosquitoes.
In mid-May, the weather gradually turned warmer.
Qinchuan is mountainous, and they set up camp at the foot of the mountain near the water. The number of mosquitoes increased, and they could not stay in the tent, so they went out for a walk.
He happened to see Han Lingkun and Cao Bin outside the camp. When he heard them talking about Guan Yu, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Wang Jing and Fu Yanqing are not much different. The older these two old guys get, the more they value their reputation.
Fu Yanqing was fine, he was born in a military family, had made numerous contributions, and had no stains. As for massacres and looting, it was not something he had never done before, it was just the trend of the time, there was nothing to say.
Wang Jing is different. He was born a restless gangster and then transformed into a bandit. He did a lot of burning, killing and looting. He is really not a good guy and has a lot of stains on him.
When you get older and have this status and position, all the power is in your hands, all you lack is a reputation.
Because of this, Wang Jing began to treat the people well and gained considerable reputation.
While chatting with him, Luo Youdu discovered that Wang Jing had a strong sense of brotherhood.
Although Wang Jing never mentioned his past experiences, if he had not gathered in the mountains at that time, he would not be where he is today.
Luo Youdu is best at finding topics. When it comes to loyalty, how can he not mention Guan Erye?
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel written by Luo Guanzhong by combining a large number of legends and unofficial histories with history.
Guan Yu of this era was not officially deified, but legends about him had already begun to spread among the people.
Luo Youdu chatted with Wang Jing about the righteous Guan Erye, and it really suited the taste of Wang Jing, who came from a gangster family.
With stories like riding alone for thousands of miles, passing five passes and killing six generals, and protecting his second sister-in-law loyally, Wang Jing immediately made Guan Yu his idol and ordered people to find painters to paint Guan Yu's portrait for worship.
"Han Jiedushi, Guohua!"
Luo Youdu greeted him and walked forward.
Bowing and greeting, Luo Youdu said with a smile: "It's hot and full of mosquitoes in the tent, so I came out to cool off. I don't want to invite Han Jiedushi to come into the tent to suffer. The cool breeze outside the camp is more comfortable than inside the tent."
Facing Luo Youdu's smiling face from beginning to end, Han Lingkun couldn't help but smile and responded: "I can't stay in the tent any longer, so I came out for a walk and think about the current situation. The relationship between Zhao Jizha and Han Jixun is getting worse and worse, and it's coming to an end. Luo Dujian doesn't have to continue to bear the pressure of the Privy Council."
Luo Youdu said, "From the beginning, I knew that Brother Wang was clever and cunning, while Han Jiedushi was calm and steady. If you two cooperated with each other, you would be no match for the idiots Zhao Jizha and Han Jixun, not to mention the reincarnation of Li Renhan, the top general under Meng Zhixiang. Without you, how could a mere eunuch like me dare to challenge the Privy Council?"
Han Lingkun felt inexplicably relieved and said, "Speaking of Zhao Jizha, there is one thing I have always been unable to figure out. How could there be such a stupid person? Even a fool knows that Weiwu City is steep and solid and is good for defense. He insisted on learning from Prime Minister Zhuge to cultivate the land in front of the army, forcing Han Jixun to abandon the city and stand in a stalemate with our army."
Luo Youdu smiled knowingly and said, "This Zhao Jizha is indeed a fool, but he is not as stupid as the Jiedushi thinks. He just thinks from a different perspective. Han Jixun thinks that the city is mighty and dangerous, and as long as there is food, it can resist our army. And what about Zhao Jizha? He thinks that there is no money and food in the country, and the only way to overcome the difficulties is to imitate Prime Minister Zhuge and cultivate land in front of the army. That's why he forced Han Jixun to defend the camp to the death."
Han Lingkun gasped and exclaimed, "That's impossible. Shu has been at peace for ten years. There has been no war in these ten years. How can there be no money and food?"
Luo Youdu shrugged and said, "You have to ask their master Meng Chang. A master who travels all day long , builds palaces and squanders the country's strength, and a master who spends 100,000 yuan to marry a concubine, where does the money and food come from? Zhao Jizha was Meng Chang's favorite minister, how could he not know the situation in the country?"
