This little skin injury is nothing to Lu Ming. As long as it heals, there will be no scars left, which can be regarded as a benefit given by the system.
And he has a diamond body protection, so he won't bleed. He just needs to speed up the healing of the wound, because the blood volume can be lifted up, and the wound will be very painful.
The person in charge of the caravan was a bearded man dressed like a scholar. He came over and bowed deeply to Lu Ming, "Thank you, general, for saving me. I'd like to ask Zhen Yao, the governor of Wuji County in Zhongshan."
"I am your Majesty's newly formed personal army, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, the captain of the lower military and the governor of Longxi County, Lu Ming." Lu Ming also returned the greeting. After hearing the other party's name, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of sharpness flashed, "Since you are from the Zhongshan Kingdom and are far away in Jizhou, why did you come to Hedong?"
The Zhongshan Kingdom is still called a kingdom, not a county.
The princes of the Han Dynasty will be enfeoffed and become princes, which is called opening the country and establishing the country.
Therefore, Zhongshan County is only to become Zhongshan Kingdom, just like Changshan County is currently also called Changshan Kingdom.
Zhen Yao compiled calmly, "It's because of Niu Po, the governor of Chengyicheng. The two places are well connected in trade. I received rumors a few days ago, so the governor of Wuji assigned me to escort weapons, armor, and grain and grass to support Yicheng."
"Yicheng has now fallen and is occupied by the White Wave and Yellow Turbans. Your trip is just like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. You leave the supplies. I, under His Majesty's orders, will lead the army to suppress the rebellion, and have the power to do things conveniently. Once you have a letter from my captain, you can take it back and deliver it." Lu Ming unceremoniously took this batch of supplies as his own. Anyway, Yicheng has fallen and the things cannot be sent in, so he will keep them for him to use.
"Sir, I'm afraid this is against the rules, isn't it?" Zhen Yao hesitated a little. The other party was obviously trying to plunder something. If this batch of supplies was lost, it would be troublesome if the Zhen family was blamed.
"Your Zhen family is also an aristocratic family in Zhongshan. What's there to be afraid of? Who dares to blame you? Let him come to Luoyang to find our captain. Okay, leave your things behind and you can leave and go back to deliver the goods. The war here is chaotic, so don't stay any longer." Lu Ming was not polite and took it down first. He thought it was a caravan, but it turned out to be a team escorting supplies.
Zhen Yao couldn't force himself, so he could only order his subordinates to transfer the supplies to this army.
"Sir, the people who attacked just now are from the tribe of the Southern Xiongnu. They colluded with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans and repeatedly violated our borders and disturbed the people."
"Oh, no wonder the martial arts are pretty good right away. I know that Captain Zhen has something important to do?" Lu Ming could see that the other party seemed to want to exchange something.
He didn't mind making a deal with the other party. The Zhen family in Zhongshan was indeed a wealthy family, and Zhen Yao was the chief registrar, but his father was still the county magistrate.
The Zhen family is also a wealthy business family. They have thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of slaves. They are truly a wealthy family.
Moreover, the official position with a hereditary salary of two thousand stone in the family is not nothing.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have allowed his son to marry the Zhen family, and there are explanations for that.
A well-matched family means a well-matched family, and the water here is very deep when marrying down and climbing up the ladder.
If it is really a mismatch, a woman will be tortured to death if she marries. At this point, what needs to be considered is the prosperity of the family, not the so-called love.
But, Lu Ming has no intention of following these bullshit rules.
Rules are a product of the peaceful and prosperous times.
And troubled times are coming, and then fists are power.
The only thing that aristocratic families rely on for their survival is that their children are all scholars and can do things that ordinary people cannot do, such as handling government affairs.
Ordinary people don't even know the words, so naturally it's impossible for them to do these things. This is a kind of monopoly, monopolizing all the upward channels.
Emperor Ling married Cai Wenji to him, so Cai Wenji's father was a learned scholar, so it was obviously a good choice to let him teach.
Cultivating talents by oneself and not relying on others is the source of confidence.
Therefore, Lu Ming disdains these bullshit rules.
But what really moved Lu Ming was the legendary beauty Zhen Mi, known as the Goddess of Luo.
Haha, since I am already a lustful ghost, if I don't collect beauties, I will be sorry for myself.
Zhen Yao really wanted to ask for something, so he said in a low voice, "Sir, this beast is related to the Bingzhou rebellion and is also related to the Black Mountain Yellow Turban. If you can defeat this unit, it will be a great achievement for you!"
This is a plan to do nothing. If it is a great achievement, it must be recognized by the superiors and rewarded. That is a great achievement.
Therefore, Lu Ming directly interrupted the other party's speech. Although it was very rude, the other party was scheming first, "Okay, these are none of my business. What do you want from me and what bargaining chips can you bring? Just tell me directly. I have seen many intrigues in Luoyang."
Zhen Yao was a little angry, and his impression of Lu Ming became even worse.
But he had no choice but to endure it, because if he didn't solve any problem, his return would be a problem. Whether he could go back alive or not was left to fate. It would be much safer to let Lu Ming take action and defeat the entrenched rebels.
"Sir, this rebel army is in Anze in the north. Together with the Southern Xiongnu, they looted, killed and set fire to people. Countless villages were destroyed and the people were displaced. If you can wipe out that rebel army, I would like to give you a hundred gold."
"Haha, this rebel army must be at least ten thousand people. How can you let me take action with such a small amount of money? Master Zhen, you can't be too stingy. You should have heard a saying that the most uncomfortable thing in this world is that the money is still there but the people are gone." Lu Ming patted the other party's shoulder, turned around and left, feeling petty.
"A common man!" Zhen Yao cursed in his heart, but did not dare to say anything more.
He can't afford much money now, and he really doesn't have many chips in his hand.
But if Lu Ming doesn't help him, he won't be able to go back. This is really an insurmountable problem.
"My lord, my lord, it's better than this. If your lord can send me to Shangdang County, my family still has some assets in Shangdang County, and I will definitely give you a surprise." Zhen Yao could only retreat and find another way.
