After Lu Yuan accompanied Liu Yuliang, Lu Xiangsheng and others to observe his mighty army, he went to Baoding Mansion with these people.

It has been temporarily used as the official hall of the Governor Liu Yuliang and the Governor Lu Xiangsheng.

Along.

Lu Xiangsheng did not speak.

He originally intended to learn about the mighty army first, and by the way, see if there was anything to learn from the Xuanda soldiers on his side, but at this time, after observing the entire mighty army, the biggest feeling he had was that the Ming Dynasty wanted to get rich first before he could strengthen the army.

But the Ming Dynasty has long been empty of the treasury, and it is impossible to talk about the wealth of the country at all.

But.

Inspector Liu Yuliang does not have these worries, although he is the first assistant of the cabinet, but he is just messing around to make money, if it is not for his interests this time, he is too lazy to care about the decisive battle with Jiannu, as for whether the Ming Dynasty is a dead country or Zhongxing, he is even more lazy to worry, he is ready to change the dynasty, at most he just does not want to replace the Ming Dynasty is a foreign dynasty.

Of course.

If it was really a foreign dynasty that ruled Guannei, Liu Yuliang would not really resist to the death, he thought that he would still follow the general trend and pinch his nose to admit it.

However, Liu Yuliang also has his own troubles.

Liu Yuliang could see that Lu Xiangsheng was very interested in Lu Yuan, which made him very vigilant.

So.

As soon as Liu Yuliang returned to the Baoding Mansion, he called Lu Yuan to him and asked, "Your character is Jingfang, why doesn't the old man know?" ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Back to the superintendent, it was taken by Lu Duchen to the last general. ”

"Humph! What does he Lu Xiangsheng want to do! Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu and other chief military officers are his people, and now if you get close to him again, what will Your Majesty think if he knows, he is harming you! ”

Liu Yuliang slapped the table as he spoke.

"The Inspector is too worried, but Governor Lu doesn't mean to win over the last general, but he just values the last general in his words, and he doesn't say that the last general is close to you."

Lu Yuan replied.

"Really?"

Liu Yuliang's face softened, if Lu Xiangsheng didn't really want to form a party with Lu Yuan, he didn't care, he just said: "He is frank and open, it seems that he is cherishing talents for the court, out of a public heart, but Your Majesty may not necessarily think so, so you still have to pay attention and don't get too close to him Lu Xiangsheng, this is not only for him Lu Xiangsheng but also for himself." ”

"The last will understand."

Lu Yuan replied.

"It's a pity, the old man originally wanted to give you a word, but now he let Lu Xiangsheng take the lead, in this case, why don't I marry my granddaughter to you?"

Liu Yuliang said suddenly.

"Thank you for the love of the superintendent, but I don't hide it, although the clumsy Jing is from a famous family, but he is very jealous, please forgive the last general who will not dare to accept it."

Lu Yuan replied, Shoufu's granddaughter, how dare he accept her as a concubine, wouldn't that make the family restless, besides, he and Liu Yuliang are just using each other now, but if they have an in-law relationship with Liu Yuliang, it will not be conducive to the future.

So Lu Yuan simply used the excuse to say that his wife Tang Ying was a jealous woman, anyway, Tang Ying was not around, and it was nothing for him to say two bad things about Tang Ying.

At this time, Tang Ying, who was personally cutting clothes for Lu Yuan, couldn't help but sneeze, then looked at the north and lowered his eyebrows: "Could it be that Lu Lang misses me?" ”

The conversation turned back.

Liu Yuliang was silent for a moment at this time, and finally smiled: "It's okay, in this case, the old man doesn't want to let his granddaughter go to you to be wronged." ”

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and didn't say much.

At this time, Liu Yuliang asked again: "What arrangements should the army make next?" ”

"Wait for the scout's report first, if there is no Jiannu around Baoding Mansion, you should order Lu Duchen to continue to advance, if you find a large number of Jiannu, you should discuss with Lu Duchen how to fight, you can listen to Lu Duchen's arrangement."

Lu Yuan said.

Liu Yuliang also nodded, he understood that Lu Yuan meant to continue to let Lu Xiangsheng be in charge of the war command.

Liu Yuliang has no opinion on this, and he also knows that Lu Xiangsheng is better at military command than himself.

Although Liu Yuliang repeatedly fought for power with Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng in front of Emperor Chongzhen before the army set out, and even relied on Lu Yuan to make himself a superintendent with real power, he still took the initiative to give military command to Lu Xiangsheng.

The nature of voluntary concession and forced concession is different, so Liu Yuliang has no opinion on this.

On the afternoon of November 5.

Lu Yuan's cavalry sentry cavalry and Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan soldiers' sentry cavalry all came to report, and a large number of more than 1,000 Jiannu were found in Qingdu City, Baoding Prefecture.

Liu Yuliang hurriedly took the initiative to invite Lu Xiangsheng and others to come to the meeting.

"The army has been gone for so long, and finally found Jiannu, Lu Duchen, how do you think to deal with it?"

Liu Yuliang asked Lu Xiangsheng, as Lu Yuan said, he still let Lu Xiangsheng make up his mind in military affairs.

Lu Xiangsheng was therefore not so repulsive to Liu Yuliang, the supervisor who had only been an official in the capital, and said bluntly: "There are more than 1,000 slaves, and the number is not much, and the lower officials think that they should be annihilated as soon as possible!" lest they flee early! ”

"Okay, the old man agrees, what do the generals think?"

After Liu Yuliang spoke, he asked everyone.

Lu Yuan and the other generals of Xuan Dabing naturally had no opinions.

"But at present, the Guan Ning soldiers led by Gao Gonggong have not arrived for a long time, which leads to the fact that the grain and grass have not arrived, and the grain and grass are not enough, if it is not in ten days, then the Xuan soldiers led by the lower officials will be short of food, and at that time, if Qingdu has not been captured, the consequences will be unimaginable, especially when Jiannu surrounds him, so please also ask the supervisor to quickly urge Gao Gonggong to transport the grain."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly added.

Lu Yuan nodded to Liu Yuliang, obviously, he also felt that what Lu Xiangsheng said was the point, and it was true that in history, there was indeed a high submarine food transportation that caused Xuan Dabing to go hungry and his combat effectiveness declined so that he was completely annihilated by Jiannu.

This time.

Lu Yuan hoped that because Liu Yuliang could fulfill his responsibility as a supervisor and urge Gao Qidive, at least, even if Lu Xiangsheng and his Xuan soldiers were completely annihilated by Jiannu, it could not be because of hunger.

"The 50,000 army is just transporting food, there is no need to send sentry cavalry to investigate the enemy's situation and open the road, and there is no need to build roads and bridges, why is it so slow!"

Yang Guozhu scolded first, he didn't want to scold the eunuch Gao Qiqian by name, so he only complained.

Hu Dawei also chimed in: "It's just that one by one, it's still so slow to walk behind other people's butts, damn it, if Lao Tzu even climbs, he will be there!" ”

Lu Yuan could see it.

These military attaches of Xuan Dabing were very dissatisfied with Guan Ningbing.

In his opinion, Xuan Dabing's disdain for Guan Ningbing was nothing more than the difference in the ideas of each commander.

Because Lu Xiangsheng was committed to resisting the Qing Dynasty and dared to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, but did not think about preserving his strength, Xuan Dabing was very active in attacking Jiannu.

However, the commander of Guan Ningbing, Wang Tingchen, Zu Dale, Wu Xiang and others, wanted to preserve their strength first, and were afraid of being swallowed by Jiannu, so they were naturally unwilling to behave very actively in attacking Jiannu.

There is also the fact that Xuan Dabing must have been the most paid by the imperial court because of the Guan Ning soldiers, but they were the main force to resist the Qing Dynasty, so they were very disgusted with the Guan Ning soldiers.

But.

Lu Yuan didn't follow these Xuan soldiers to arrange Guan Ning's soldiers together.

After all, at this time, it is a taboo for soldiers to squeeze out each other and cause uneven military morale.

Lu Xiangsheng had already cooled down at this time, and scolded: "Presumptuous! Everything has its own overseer, and it's not your turn to speak here! ”

Lu Xiangsheng roared so angrily that Yang Guozhu and other military attachés had to keep their mouths shut and didn't dare to speak again.
