Chapter 124: The Return of the King
(The number of words in the previous chapter was unfortunately missing a few dozen words, and then it was not enough for two thousand, so a large chapter was reissued, three thousand words.) )
It is easy to say that it is easy to divide the family, but it is very cumbersome to do, and it is not enough to sign the paperwork, but also to divide the family property.
The Lu family has a big business, and there are many types of family properties under their names, not only shops, but also fields, etc., and most of these industries are near the capital, which is particularly inconvenient to deliver.
But these things can't be done, and some things are okay.
For example, at the daily dinner, the second room is like not living in the house, and he spends his own time in the yard and never eats with the big house.
The expenses of the second room are kept in a separate account book, and the kitchen is opened, and it is done in a decent way.
Mrs. Lu was in a dilemma, and in the end she simply hid in the Buddhist hall and couldn't come out.
After a good year, it became like this, not only the subordinates of the Lu family were uncomfortable, but even the masters were not happy.
Mrs. Lu fainted in a hurry because of the separation of the family, and since then, her body has been worse day by day, and the daily medicine cannot be cut off at all.
Lu Ziqian looked at the chaos of Lu Mansion into a pot of porridge, with heart but powerlessness.
There are some things that he, as a junior, can't solve even if he wants to.
…………
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky was a little gloomy.
Outside the capital, the Tartars set up camp, if you stand on the wall of the capital and look out, the tent that receives the sky seems to have no boundary, and it makes people feel cold for no reason.
At this time, fighting a war was not the kind of fighting style during the Warring States period, the dynasty changed, the so-called soldiers were not tired of cheating, and any means were used.
A Tartar soldier was covered in loose armor. casually picked up a bow and said to the people around him: "Which one is going to tease these Han people with me?" ”
Naturally, it is not Chinese.
One of the people next to him immediately responded: "I'll go with you, I haven't been there for a few days." ”
The others burst into laughter: "You kid. Okay, why do you go every day? ”
The soldier with the bow at the beginning grinned, and his eyes sparkled: "How fun, you don't go?" ”
"I just went there yesterday, so go ahead."
The two men walked out of the camp with longbows on their backs.
It was already getting late, and the soldiers guarding the city in the capital had been nervous all day, but they didn't dare to relax at all.
Who knows when these Tartars will attack. The last time they attacked the city in the middle of the night, the guards defending the city were in shifts, and they were sleepy and tired. If it weren't for a small soldier who happened to get up at night to pee, I don't know how the capital was broken.
The cold wind blew in, and the soldiers standing on the battlements of the eastern city yawned and jerked to the right.
A feathered arrow came with the sound of the wind. Brushing the tip of his nose and flying. Finally, it is inserted into the wooden flagpole and shakes slightly.
The snow-white feathers of the arrow's tail looked particularly eerie in the faint light.
The sound of Tartars laughing sounded from under the city walls, and the contempt in them was self-evident.
Beads of sweat broke out on the soldier's forehead, clenched his fists, and continued to stand there despite the humiliation.
These days, when the Tartars are not attacking, the soldiers' favorite thing is to tease them with cold arrows and tease them like monkeys.
The soldiers who defended the capital were the strongest in the Liang Dynasty. The best army is managed, and the soldiers inside are arrogant. Where have I ever been insulted like this?
But if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, the enemy is strong and I am weak, what else can I do?
Looking at the tents of the Tartars, the soldier sighed.
Not far away, a red light lit up, and gradually there was a tendency to expand.
The soldier rubbed his eyes.
That's firelight!
First in one place, and then in one piece, half of the sky was dyed red.
The Tartars wept wolf.
Naturally, the soldiers in Beijing were also in chaos.
Such a good opportunity, if you don't attack, when will you stay?
The order from the superior was quickly conveyed, and the guards in Beijing were ready to go, although it was already night, but they were all in good spirits.
The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention that these young men with strong blood and strength have been besieged by the Tartars for half a month, which is a great shame, and they are naturally very excited to have this opportunity to take revenge.
The fire seems to be very large, and there is no water source nearby to extinguish the fire, and there is a tendency to be uncontrollable.
Wearing a feathered hat and a gloomy face, the leader of the Tartars commanded his subordinates to clean up the contents around the fire.
But it was too late, the things around were wet, and the fire burned uncontrollably when it touched it, and people couldn't get close at all.
The first to burn was grain and grass, then military quarters, winter cotton clothing, then feathered arrows, siege equipment.
In less than a cup of tea, the entire camp was wrapped.
The capital was as bright as day, and the people inside were panicked, and everyone was in danger.
To be able to force the Liang Dynasty to this point, the leader naturally has the ability, almost as soon as the fire burned, he realized the danger, and saw that the fire would not be extinguished for a while and a half, so he simply stopped caring about it and gathered soldiers to resist the attack from the capital.
I have to say that he still has some ability to make such a quick decision, but he miscalculated one thing.
On the other side of the flaming crowd.
Lu Lianjun looked at the vague figure in the Hokage, and laughed loudly: "Sons, are you ready?!" ”
Thousands of soldiers behind him should have spoken in unison, and their voices were neat and majestic.
"Let's go! After enduring it for a year, this time I will let you kill hard! ”
With that, he raised his horsewhip and took the lead in bypassing the fire, rushing over like a Tartar unsuspecting rear.
He's put up with it for too long!
Burdened with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he could not return to his home, he could not report his country, he hid incognito, lurked in the territory of the Tartars with humiliation and burden, did all the dirty work and tiring work, and the former glorious and majestic general was reduced to the point of being a cow and a horse.
Although this is something that has been planned with the emperor for a long time, I have endured too much suffering in this year.
The dignified lord of the Lu family, the hereditary marquis, grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, where can he endure this kind of suffering.
Lu Lianjun couldn't help but let out a long howl and slapped the horse's back fiercely.
It is true that the Tartars were not prepared against the enemy coming from behind.
With a raging fire burning behind him and the soldiers of the capital in front of him, the leader of the Tartars gritted his teeth and ordered the siege with a wave of his hand.
Their things were burned to the ground, and there was no way to continue the siege, and there was no other way but to fight against the water.
The battle began in a hurry, and both the Tartars and the guards of the capital were caught off guard.
The only one who didn't panic was Lu Lianjun's team.
They have been planning this fire for half a year, from the installation of people, the preparation of fire oil, to the planning, to today's successful execution, he has carefully considered every step.
So far, the situation has been in his expectation.
By the time they had bypassed the place where the fire was most intense, the battle had begun.
The Tartars fought against the water, and the soldiers in the capital were high-spirited, and the two sides were half a catty against eight taels, and the two did not give in to each other, and the war was stalemate.
Lu Lianjun hadn't fought happily for a long time, and the soldiers under his command who were with him also held back for a year.
The Tartars were defenseless, and the leader only cared about directing the forward to fight against the soldiers in Jingzhong, and when he reacted, Lu Lianjun had already killed in the middle with his men and horses.
"Sons, kill! Reckless killing! ”
Lu Lianjun laughed, and a spear was wielding a tiger.
The ghosts and wolves on the battlefield howled, filled with the smell of blood, and smoked a few soldiers who had just entered the battlefield to vomit in the dark.
There were severed limbs everywhere, the snow on the ground was soaked with blood, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the tragic situation on the battlefield was unfolded.
The Liang Dynasty had an absolute advantage, attacking from both sides, and the Tartars were defenseless, so there was no suspense about winning this war.
When it was dawn, the Tartar leader fled with the remaining few hundred men.
Lu Lianjun killed people all night, looked at the backs of the Tartars, looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears came down.
He and the emperor have been planning for a long time in this war, at this time most of the Tartars' troops are concentrated in the capital, and the nest is empty.
The Liang Dynasty seemed to have no resistance, and it seemed that it had no combat power, it was just an illusion.
It is said that those who become big things are not informal, the emperor is ruthless enough, he is ruthless enough to sacrifice thousands of people in the Liang Dynasty, regardless of it, luring the wolf into the house, reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, this time the Tartar will be wiped out, and the sacrifice of the moment will be exchanged for the eternal emperor's industry!
Lu Lianjun turned over and dismounted, and after a night of fighting, his body was almost weak and could not stand, he simply fell backwards, lay on the ground, looked at the smoke billowing sky, and shed two lines of tears.
For the sake of peace, so many people's lives were sacrificed, and he didn't know if it was right or wrong.
Lu Lianjun closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"My Lu family is loyal to the royal family, a hundred years of Qingming, protect my Great Liang Dynasty, and I can't live up to it!"
…………
The gates slowly opened, and a group of men slowly entered.
Lu Lianjun was wearing brand new armor, and his bright red cloak was hunting with the cold wind, looking extremely majestic.
There was a burst of cheers in the city, and the people cheered like crazy.
"General Lu is mighty! The Lu family protects my Liang Dynasty! ”
"General Lu! We blamed you wrong, you don't care about the villain......"
Lu Lianjun looked at the vaguely faced people around him, and listened to their voices coming into his ears one by one, and he was slightly stunned.
It was something he had always dreamed of, and he went home, back to the place he had guarded all his life!
Xu Lang sat in the corner of the teahouse, looked at Lu Lianjun's face that looked like Lu Ziqian, and smiled slightly.
Outside the palace, Lu Lianjun took off his armor, put it in the hands of the eunuch next to him, put his hands behind his waist, and walked to the palace step by step.
The sunlight shines on the clean bluestone floor, reflecting a faint dazzling light.
Lu Lianjun walked to the bottom of the high steps and shouted loudly: "Minister, Lu Lianjun, live up to the holy order!" ”
Voices echoed through the empty palace.
The Emperor stroked his palms and laughed: "Good! Good! Good! What a Lu Aiqing! I didn't misunderstand you, my world still has to be guarded by the Lu family! ”
Every word is heart-wrenching.
Lu Lianjun kowtowed, his forehead pressed against the ground, and he sweated: "Your Majesty's world will always enjoy a prosperous world, and the ministers are not talented, and they are willing to smear their liver and brains!" ”
There was no response from the main hall for a long time.
