Chapter 87 Transfer of Military Power
Qu Xiangtian nodded slightly, then turned his head sideways and said to Lu Yunzhi, "What do you think, third brother." Lu Yunzhi whispered a few words in Qu Xiangtian's ear, and then said a few words to Zhu Jianwen, Fang Qingze and others, and finally walked to Shi Fang's side and whispered in the same ear, then turned around and said to Qian: "Lord Yu, we are willing to help you, let's talk about the conditions." ”
Yu Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, Zhu Qiyu smiled even more, Yu Qian hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply at Shi Fang, Lu Yunzhi and the others, and said: "Thank you, regardless of the previous suspicions, Yu has thanked someone here, what are the conditions, we can discuss slowly." ”
Lu Yunzhi listened to Yu Qian's words, clasped his hands and said: "Lord Yu doesn't have to be polite, and he is not in a hurry, let's go back to the camp to discuss first, and then come back to discuss in an hour." Yu Qian smiled and said, "That's natural, gentlemen, generals, please." Saying that, Yu Qian personally opened the curtain and sent Lu Yunzhi and others out, Zhu Qiyu also followed all the way, and when Lu Yunzhi and others were far away, Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu and others also quickly returned to the camp for fear of being injured by dark arrows.
Fang Qingze returned to his own military camp tent and muttered: "Big brother, third brother, why do you want to discuss with that guy, wouldn't it be better to watch Cheng Fangdong destroy him, it's better to let them fight and lose both, let's reap the benefits." ”
Qu Xiangtian smiled and said: "Second brother, why didn't we think like this, but we must agree to Yu Qian's conditions, there are three reasons, first, in terms of strategy, if Cheng Fangdong quickly ends up with Yu Qian, or if Yu Qian's army is defeated like a mountain, then Cheng Fangdong will have a large number of prisoners, and after a little training, he can go into battle, and then the troops will be far superior to ours, and the worse result is that if Yu Qian allies with us and joins forces with Cheng Fangdong, then our situation will be very bad. Even if the two results I am talking about do not happen, Yu Qian gives up the capital in frustration and leads the army to entrench himself in the world, then the next situation will be even more complicated, and it is really difficult to deal with so many living dead sergeants. ”
Lu Yunzhi continued: "Second, Cheng Fangdong is a traitor in my Zhongzheng lineage, although Yu Qian is hateful, Cheng Fangdong deserves to be killed, and now we and Yu Qian Even if Cheng Fangdong does not intervene, the battle situation is also anxious, if we negotiate this time, it will be of great benefit to our party." ”
"Let me interrupt, even if we join forces with Yu Qian, do you have a way to deal with Cheng Fangdong's army of the living dead." Zhu Jianwen said,
Lu Yunzhi nodded and said: "I must have a plan for this matter, don't worry too much about seeing and hearing about it, we will use Cheng Fangdong's matter to maximize the benefits, which will benefit us and do no harm." Lu Yunzhi looked at Fang Qingze as he spoke, Fang Qingze was stunned for a moment and understood, and nodded at Lu Yunzhi's response,
"Thirdly, let me say it, our Zhongzheng lineage has always opposed this evil devil's crooked way, and naturally wants to destroy the living dead, and in this way, we have also avoided the sin of continuing to slaughter ordinary soldiers, hereby I order, if you encounter a disciple of the Zhongzheng lineage who has become a living dead, you must not show mercy to your subordinates, once the living dead flow into the people, especially the living dead made of heaven and earth, it will be an endless trouble." Shi Fang said,
Everyone discussed the details, and made some preparations, an hour later returned to the big tent in the two armies, Yu Qian and others had been waiting there early, but there was one more person in this group of people, it was the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, Lu Yunzhi and others saw Zhu Qizhen, and they had a little admiration for Qian in their hearts, everyone knew that Yu Qian was out of the city this time, and only took the families of important officials to join the army, and for Zhu Qiyu's henchmen and his brother Zhu Qizhen, Yu Qian must have been hindered. But he insisted on taking it with the army, which could be seen with everyone at this time, although Yu Qian was vicious, he was indeed a loyal minister, at that time he was worried that Lu Yunzhi and others would be bait, and sent troops to raid the capital, in order to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he set up an empty city, worried that Zhu Qizhen would be captured and humiliated and lose the dignity of the country, so he ignored the opposition to take Zhu Qizhen out of the city with the army, and now he brought Zhu Qizhen to the big tent, it was nothing more than wanting to use Zhu Qizhen as a bargaining chip to mortgage Lu Yunzhi and others,
Lu Yunzhi smiled at Zhu Qizhen with his fists and said, "It's been good recently." Looking at Zhu Qizhen again, where can he still be called good, he looks down, his skin is rough and dark, he doesn't look like the emperor, Zhu Qizhen raised his eyes tiredly, and when he saw that it was Lu Yunzhi who greeted him, a gleam appeared in his eyes, but a rare smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Lu." Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu were shocked when they saw it, and they thought to themselves: Are Zhu Qizhen and Lu Yunzhi very familiar?
But I heard Lu Yunzhi say: "Queen Qian is good, how is Zhu Jianjun." Zhu Qizhen had tears in his eyes and said, "It's all good, it's just that I haven't seen Jun'er for a year." Lu Yunzhi stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Qizhen's shoulder, then turned his head and walked towards Yu Qian, this move was not only more shocking to Yu Qian and others, but also made Shi Fang and the others a little confused Therefore, Lu Yunzhi pays the most attention to etiquette, and patting the shoulder can only be done in private by close friends in addition to the elders, in front of the public, Lu Yunzhi patted Zhu Qizhen's shoulder What does this mean,
Zhu Qizhen is not annoyed, he has long lost the emperor's shelf, since he was driven out of the palace by Zhu Qiyu and forced into the South Palace, he lives like a prisoner every day, even the eunuchs and brocade guards who take care of him will shout at him, and those who are slightly intimate with him will also be beheaded to show the public, at this moment Lu Yunzhi guards everyone dares to pat him on the shoulder, which really reflects a sense of intimacy, like the intimacy of friends, and the hope of living in his heart has been rekindled, because Mr. Lu has returned, and he has a backbone, Back then, Lu Yunzhi was able to save him from Wara's custody and return to the capital, and he would also let himself out of this prisoner-like Nangong life in the future, Zhu Qizhen was full of confidence in this,
Yu Qian cleared his throat at this moment, pulled everyone's thoughts back to the topic, and said, "Generals, tell me about your conditions. Qu Xiangtian raised his voice and said: "First of all, we want the military power of the three battalions. ”
"This is difficult for some strongmen, the three battalions are the main force of our Ming army, if all the military power is given to you, where is there any cooperation, it is better to say that it is to submit to you, so we do not accept this condition, so let's do it, I order half of the soldiers of the three thousand battalions or the five military battalions to be in charge of General Qu to show sincerity, you see how it is." Yu Qian said,
Zhu Jianwen snorted coldly: "Lord Yu, it is said that what regimental battalion system you have been engaged in is nothing more than to facilitate the dispatch of the three major battalions, and the average strength is diluted into various local armies, so as to improve the overall strength of the Ming army, so except for the Shenji Battalion or the former Shenji Battalion, the rest have long existed in name only, if it is not handed over completely, then we might as well not talk about it." ”
