Chapter 751: Mission!!
Lu Zheng wanted to personally accompany the mission to Liaodong, which was a joke, and everyone present was stunned by Lu Zheng's determination.
Lu Zheng of the Nanfu Army is the backbone, and even the entire Dakang Lu Zheng is actually the backbone, now the Lu family is so powerful, and the influence of the government and the opposition has no power to compete, the core key is because of the existence of Lu Zheng!
In this case, Lu Zheng's peace must not be lost, and Tan Lei of Liaodong kills without blinking, and Her Royal Highness the Princess Long Lingxiu and Lu Zheng are even more old enemies, in this case, what is Lu Zheng going to Liaodong to die?
A group of generals led by Liu Song took the lead in jumping out to oppose it, and then a group of civil officials and strategists also stood up to oppose it.
"What do you think we have to choose? Do you think that the more than 100,000 horses of the Nanfu army can be used? We now have less than 30,000 cavalry, and without cavalry, do our 100,000 infantry dare to attack easily except in the city?
In such a situation, Yuzhou is a cage, if the Liaodong Army and the Northwest Army succeed in uniting, we will be completely dead! The main force of the Nanfu Army was strangled, what future and future do we have? So now we have no choice, at this moment, I, Lu Zheng, will not go to Liaodong to lobby Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei, who among them can turn things around? ”
Lu Zheng's tone rose suddenly, and said: "If you go, you may die, if you don't go, you will die, since this is the case, why don't you go?" I, Lu Zheng, have been born from a concubine in my life, and I have never been afraid in my heart! The more difficult it is, the more certain I am in my heart, just like the current situation, we are facing a desperate situation, but I am more sure in my heart that I have the ability to go to Liaodong, so that Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu can change their original intentions, as long as they wait for half a year, the situation in the north will change rapidly, and at that time, Song Naifeng will lose his advantage, and then, we will be able to regain the lost place little by little! ”
Lu Zheng's tone was firm and categorical, obviously he had made up his mind. When his generals and strategists saw this scene, they all knew that there was no possibility of further persuasion, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Lu Zheng said:
"Listen to me, this time the envoy is Zhang Pinghua, I am with the mission, and I will come forward at a critical time. As for the entourage, let the boy follow, and choose another fifty capable masters, rest assured, I have been to Liaodong, and I have also seen Tan Lei, just because Tan Lei wants my life is not so easy! ”
Lu Zheng said very firmly, and gradually everyone's mood stabilized, and then the strategists immediately began to discuss the various arrangements and details of this mission, and then prepared for the convoy to set off without mentioning it.
The whole process was very fast, from Lu Zheng's decision to send an envoy to the mission to set off a total of only one day's work, and from the two rivers, across Bianzhou and then north to Liaodong, a total of less than a thousand miles, Yuzhou's mission day and night, only took four days to arrive in Liaodong, Liaodong Shengjing finally arrived.
Lu Zheng has been to Liaodong, but it is the first time he has arrived in Shengjing, in fact, in the territory of Dakang, Liaodong is extremely special, because Liaodong shoulders the heavy responsibility of resisting the Northern Yan, so over the years, the general army of Liaodong has been an extremely powerful position.
The Liaodong Army is actually the real Dakang First Army, but in recent years, Longyou has risen, and Song Naifeng himself has been the governor of Liaodong, so the strength of the Northwest Army has overshadowed the limelight of the Liaodong Army in a sense.
However, in fact, if the Northwest Army and the Liaodong Army really want to confront each other, they will not have the upper hand! The Tan Lei brothers have been operating in Liaodong for many years, and their power is deep-rooted, and Shengjing City is also the most prosperous city within a radius of hundreds of miles.
In Shengjing City, almost one-third of the people are from Beiyan, so the trade of Shengjing City is extremely developed, and when the contradiction between Beiyan and Dakang is most prominent, the border between the two sides is almost sealed, and the trade between Shengjing and Beiyan has not stopped, which is the fundamental reason why the Tan Lei brothers can operate Liaodong into an independent kingdom.
After Tan Lei arrived in Liaodong, he provided too many preferential conditions for the people of Beiyan, and his purpose was to introduce a large number of people from Beiyan, and when the overall situation of the Beiyan people poured into Liaodong, the connection between Liaodong and Beiyan could no longer be easily severed.
You must know that the border between Beiyan and Liaodong stretches for thousands of miles, how can such a vast border be guarded? Therefore, in the most severe and difficult times, Liaodong can still make a lot of money through trade, and people like Lu Zheng who directly trade with Beiyan are actually extremely vulnerable in the eyes of Liaodong people!
When the carriage drove on Shengjing Street, there were more and more onlookers, and I faintly heard the discussion in the crowd:
"As soon as the mission from the Northwest Army arrived, the mission of the Nanfu Army came, which is really interesting!! What will the general choose this time? Will they choose to send troops to destroy the Nanfu army? “
"Of course, the Nanfu Army thinks it is orthodox and righteous, but in fact it is just the private soldiers of the Lu family, our general has hated the Jiangnan lord for a long time, how can he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this time?"
"Wrong, this is wrong, the Northwest Army is actually a greater threat to Liaodong, so Song Naifeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp! If the Nanfu Army is finished, the Northwest Army and us will be left in the Northland, and they will let us go of Liaodong......"
Lu Zheng listened to the discussion of the people around him, and couldn't help but be surprised, he thought to himself that Shengjing City is really good, and ordinary people can know so many things?
However, he immediately denied such thoughts, he realized that there must be differences within Liaodong, they definitely have two voices, it is precisely because of this that such discussions slowly began to spread in Shengjing City, and the more such discussions spread, the more intense the discussion in Shengjing for such things on weekdays.
As soon as Lu Zheng thought of this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he had a bottom in his heart, and Zhang Pinghua, who was thinking the same as him, also felt that the pressure on his body had dropped sharply, as long as there was a dispute in the Liaodong Army, he Zhang Pinghua boasted that he could convince Tan Lei of the court and Yuzhou with his ability.
Shengjing City is very large, there is a post house for envoys to rest, Tan Lei has long operated this place into an independent kingdom, and after the king, he established a palace.
Although the Yin'an Palace of the palace is not as grand as the palace in the capital, although the sparrows are small, they are also full of organs. Shengjing has six departments, and also set up nine divisions, and the mission in Yuzhou also has people from Honglu Temple to receive them. After placing the mission in the post house, Zhang Pinghua took the initiative to take action, and looked for an opportunity to meet Tan Lei.
And the boy used his power completely, and Dakang's Hanging Mirror Division began to exert its power, but after a day's work, information was sent in a steady stream.
The boy reported to Lu Zheng: "This time the Northwest Army has made a bloody investment, not only sent a high-level mission headed by Song Wenjie, but also brought almost one million taels of silver, in addition, Song Naifeng also promised to give up the capital, as long as Tan Lei sent troops, the defense of the capital will be handed over to Tan Lei, and he will concentrate on sending troops to deal with Yuzhou, after destroying Yuzhou, he does not want the land of two rivers, he only needs the pass north of Tongzhou!"
It is almost impossible for Tan Lei to refuse such conditions, and if such conditions change me, I have no way to refuse! ”
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, through the window he could see the exterior of Shengjing City, the belligerence of the Liaodong people really deserved its reputation, and on the endless grassland in the distance, many warriors were riding horses and galloping, and a group of people were having a good time!
He couldn't help but sigh that in the era of cold weapons, the northerners really had a unique advantage, they were born on horseback, grew up on horseback, and it was really easy to establish and build a cavalry in Liaodong. In comparison, it took several years for Lu Zheng to build a cavalry in the Nanfu Army, and it has only a slight scale now.
"Boy, how is it here? Shengjing's prosperity is secondary, the key is that there are natural war resources here, their livelihood is obtained through trade, and in terms of war preparation, the vast grassland, cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland are their inexhaustible wealth! Liaodong is a battleground for soldiers! Lu Zheng muttered.
Lu Zheng has been fighting and training since he arrived in the north, and he has brought the Nanfu army from tens of thousands of people to more than 100,000 people, plus the Nanfu army in the south of the Yangtze River, the total size of the Nanfu army has exceeded 200,000 horses.
However, the core restricting the development of the Nanfu Army is not anything else, that is, the horses and the cavalry. Lu Zheng was fortunate to have tens of thousands of horses at a huge price from Song Wensong back then, otherwise the Nanfu Army would not even have the scale of 30,000 cavalry now.
In the era of cold weapons, the power of the cavalry is too great, the strength of the cavalry is not only in the attack and defense, but also in the super maneuverability, throughout the ages the infantry against the cavalry has always been an important subject that the soldiers must study, but no matter how to study, the infantry can even use the Mo knife array and the cavalry combat power is equivalent, but once the high-speed maneuver, the infantry has no power to parry.
The two rivers are mostly plains, Lu Zheng's more than 100,000 horses and more than 100,000 horses of the Northwest Army are at a disadvantage when they fight, the two sides really want to fight, Lu Zheng can only defend the city to be foolproof, and in this case, if Tan Lei is sending troops, Lu Zheng will inevitably collapse completely......
The situation is not as bad as imagined, but it is already very bad, Song Naifeng is a powerful person, he is willing to sacrifice his blood at a critical moment, it is obvious that he is now determined to win the two rivers.
"What to do? The current situation is really bad, we can only let Zhang Pinghua try it first! If Zhang Pinghua can't do it, we will find other ways to find Long Lingxiu's residence! Lu Zheng said to the boy.
The boy nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang has already gone to see Tan Lei, judging from the information we have so far, he should not gain anything from going here, and he will have to act quickly to find him!" ”
Lu Zheng nodded, and was about to speak, when the boy said: "There is another piece of news, we can't confirm it at present, this news is that within the Liaodong Army, the rift is expanding step by step, the Tan family and Her Royal Highness the Princess are not as seamless as they are, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's voice in Liaodong is becoming more and more weakened!" ”
"What?" Lu Zheng suddenly stood up, stared at the boy and said, "What you said is true?" This...... If this is true, then maybe we haven't reached the end of the road yet, no matter what, I have to go to meet Long Lingxiu for a while! ”
Lu Zheng suddenly felt excited, if the news passed on by the boy was true, Liaodong was not monolithic, Lu Zheng would have more room to maneuver, he was afraid that the needle would not be inserted in these years, and the water would not be able to enter, as long as the opponent had a gap, Lu Zheng felt that he had a chance.
