Twenty miles apart, on the one hand, there is a battlefield that shouts and kills, and on the other hand, it is an uncomfortable wait-and-see.

Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing were twenty miles away from the battlefield, stationed at Ma Gaogang, overlooking the battlefield. The front is hot, and the back is leisurely.

In fact, the distant view of Zhuma is just a formality, at such a distance, you can't see or hear anything at all, just be in a hurry.

Looking at the meticulous passing stars of the helmet and armor, Lu Shi wanted to laugh in his heart.

This commander, in fact, is sometimes like a child, naïve, no, simple, heroic, no, reckless.

At the beginning, in order to compete for the color of the military uniform, he and a few of his subordinates stuck their heads on the table and shouted, they were all brothers for many years, and no one let him in this matter, but the result was that Lu Shi broke the deadlock and made Guo Tianxing's costume unique, that is, a tall bronze helmet, a tight and strong fish scale armor, a half-hung battle robe, and a fiery red cloak, quite mighty.

However, due to the fact that Lu Shi made it easier for the soldiers to identify the officials, he inlaid yellow stripes on the sleeves according to the rank, and the stars were absolutely unwilling, and finally, the girls who begged the women's army added countless yellow stripes to their sleeves, and from time to time at any time, they stretched out their arms to show their yellow and clear arms, which made Lu Shi extremely disdainful.

It's just that mighty is mighty, Lu Shi is squinting now, and the five-pound helmet is not too tired to be on his head all day long? The armor that reached seventy or eighty pounds in later generations is not too bulky to wear on the body? What's more, these armors are lined with thick silk cotton, and in this *** qi (June of the solar calendar), you can imagine how guilty it is.

But look at the sweaty look of the stars like a stream, and it is so sweet, this is really a demeanor and not a heat.

After watching it for a long time, Guo Tianxing, who was itchy and unbearable, still got off the horse, found a shady place to sit down, took off his helmet and put it aside, and then twisted his sore neck a few times, and beckoned Lu Shidao: "I said sir, you are addicted to watching there, and you can't see anything, so it will be cool and cool to sit here." "Actually, Lu Shi, who was dressed in a thin shirt, is not hot at all now, but looking at Guo Tianxing's appearance, in order to cheer up, he had to get off the horse and sit next to Guo Tianxing.

Keeping a distance of twenty miles from Gao Yingxiang was Lu Shi's idea.

Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, this is a technical job, far away, the tiger has no enthusiasm, close, the tiger is urgent, will bite back, then it is definitely not cost-effective, twenty miles is just right, once the tiger has escaped signs, their own cavalry can rush up in just a few breaths, and the tiger is circled back.

Let Gao Yingxiang do evil in front of him, so that he can buy people's hearts, but the so-called evil means that he hopes that he can deal with those powerful landlords, but he must not be allowed to harm the common people, this is the bottom line.

In order to recover Yichuan this time, it is necessary to reduce rents and interest rates, collect displaced people, and distribute land.

It is easy to reduce rent and interest rates, but it is difficult to distribute land, now, in Daming, land annexation has reached the limit, every piece of land, especially those along the river, is not Huangzhuang or Wang Tian, and then there is the net worth of powerful landlords in various places, there is almost no place to insert needles along the river, Lu Shi wants to divide the land to settle the displaced people, relying on the windmill that he "invented" in the year of the great drought, there is no such field, what to implement?

Lu Shi didn't want to forcibly carry out the way of Mrs. Mao at the beginning, offending almost all the landlords, which was inhumane and irrational, and was not conducive to his future development, after all, at this time, it was these elites who were really educated, and he would have to rely on them to govern this place in the future, at least he didn't want them to make trouble for himself.

However, it is difficult to be a good person, and there are no bad people, so where is the good person reflected? No, the partner came, and Gao Yingxiang became Lu Shi's partner.

After two days, Gao Yingxiang should also know his mind - as long as you don't rob the people, then you can do whatever you like.

A god-like opponent is not terrible, he is afraid of a pig-like partner, for two days, Lu Shi's information was not understood by Gao Yingxiang at all, he only cared about running away, and in the meantime, he also wanted to attack the people's villages in order to supply, of course Lu Shi didn't let him, those are his future people's parents, so can you harass you? As a result, there was a shout, Gao Yingxiang gave up, now, Lu Shi's 1,500 cavalry to 10,000 Gao Yingxiang's pole, that is a nightmare, when a person is afraid of another person, in his heart, it is an unforgettable fear, even if the other party is terminally ill and has no combat strength at all, that is not good, this is why later a Tartar can chase after hundreds of Ming troops and flee, now, Gao Yingxiang's team is like this for Lu Shi.

But he is like this, but it makes Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing smile bitterly, Gao Yingxiang is just blindly running away, if this is the case, then won't his calculations be all in vain?

"Sir, look, this time Gao Yingxiang and Xiangyong fight, who wins and who loses?" Guo Tianxing moved his body into the shade of the tree to make himself lie more comfortable, and asked worriedly, "Why don't we give him a hand?" "Now, Guo Tianxing has seriously looked down on Gao Yingxiang's combat effectiveness.

Lu Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "Great Commander, now Gao Yingxiang, the rest are elite and loyal brothers, the combat effectiveness should definitely not fall but rise, with 10,000 against 2,500 villagers, then it can't win, then there is no heavenly reason, and Gao Yingxiang will not dominate for a few years." At the same time, we don't make trouble now, which is the greatest help to him, and it also shows our thoughts again, hoping that Gao Yingxiang's mind will not be overestimated by us. ”

Guo Tianxing lay down on the ground, put his hands under his head as pillows, and squinted his eyes at Lu Shidao: "Sir, you say, if he defeats Xiangyong this time, will he recover some confidence?" ”

"It should be, the mourning soldiers will win, this is what the art of war says, mourning soldiers, Gao Yingxiang has reached this point. Through this battle, it is time to restore some confidence. ”

Affirmed by Lu Shi, Guo Tianxing turned over and sat up, stared at hopeful eyes and asked, "Sir, should he Gao Yingxiang have the confidence to fight with us?" ”

Lu Shi looked at Tianxing and smiled bitterly in his heart, what should I say about this militant? After thinking about it, he shook his head, "It shouldn't be, according to normal thinking, the most important thing Gao Yingxiang should do now is that he has already disabled a few hometown warriors in the wild, then he should take advantage of the weak defense of the forts in various places, and attack those forts with all his strength to obtain material food and grass, as well as personnel replenishment, because, at this time, he should have seen our purpose." ”

Seeing that there was no chance to fight, Guo Tianxing fell to the ground again, looked at the white clouds emerging from the leaves, and said with fascination: "If Gao Yingxiang really swept those fortresses for us in front, so that we can not lose our reputation, but also get a large amount of land to settle the displaced people, and reduce the number of dead and injured countless brothers, then should I ride a horse alone, bring a jar of good wine, and invite Gao Yingxiang, the king of the great invasion, to have a good drink?" ”

Riding alone, entering the enemy camp alone, drinking and talking with the enemy, and finally meeting for a duel, this is the highest realm of the ranger, and this is also what Guo Tianxing wants to do the most, but since a group of people behind him rely on him, he has never had this kind of opportunity. Therefore, it often reveals yearning and loneliness.

"Or, I'll go and talk to Gao Yingxiang, so that everyone doesn't have to guess each other here, sir, do you think this is feasible?" Guo Tianxing stood up excitedly again, and said to Lu Shi with excitement in his eyes.

This proposal scared Lu Shi at that time and almost jumped, how could this be? You are a hero, but Gao Yingxiang is desperate, and he doesn't know where to start, you go, the hero drinks absolutely nothing, and a bunch of ropes have definitely been waiting for a long time.

Gao Yingxiang's character Lu Shi doesn't know, but Li Zicheng's character Lu Shi is a clear man, he can even hang on a tree to the officers and soldiers who surrendered to him later, think about the ancient saying that the most similar is his uncle and nephew, Gao Yingxiang is not far behind, just by virtue of killing his beloved general with his own hands in front of the battle, and the two thousand brothers who followed him, it is not much better.

Looking at Lu Shi's pale face, Guo Tianxing also smiled, knowing that his thoughts were definitely delusional, so he lay down again, put his helmet on his face to shade the sun, and muttered: "I hope Gao Yingxiang can seize such an opportunity, no-to-make-me-disappoint." Speaking of this, there was a burst of snoring, and finally it reached earth-shattering.

Lu Shi looked at Guo Tianxing, who was actually tired and unpresentable, slowly stood up with a distressed face, and walked away.

Standing on the high post again, looking at the battlefield that did not know the result, he called a sergeant and said to him: "You work hard again, hurry back to the fortress of Chenjiabao, see if the administrative officer Chen Ce has finished sorting out the battlefield of the prisoners, if you can spare manpower, order him to immediately take over the villages we pass by, and start to publicize and implement our policy of rent reduction and interest reduction." ”

The sergeant stood there quietly and listened, but did not move, he knew that King Chuang must have something to say.

Lu Shi thought about it with his hands behind his back, raised his head and said: "Please inform Cao Meng, the commander of the garrison, to immediately transfer a part of the garrison army in Chenjiabao Fortress, and prepare to receive the fortress that will be broken by Gao Yingxiang in the future. ”

Then think about it: "Let Geng Kui also come with five thousand brothers later, and speak to Gao Yingxiang, you still have the strength to speak." "It's still necessary to guard against backbites.

Thinking about it again, there was nothing to say, so he smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, go ahead." ”

The sergeant of the prison gave a deep salute, and without saying much, he turned on his horse and walked away.

Looking at the distant battlefield again, Lu Shi couldn't help but think, Gao Yingxiang, the battle should be over at this time, you should also understand my thoughts, don't let me down, it's time to make a little decision.

Lu Shi looked at the battlefield from afar, Gao Yingxiang also stood on a high ground, looking at Lu Shi twenty miles away, his heart was very complicated, I have already decided, although I obviously know that I am being called as a gun, but I also have my own ideas, so let's cooperate.

The two of them looked at each other on this distant side, and finally, almost together, made up their minds: "Okay, let's decide together." ”
