Chapter 28: The Defeat of Sanshui
Zhu Youlang only saw the fire caused by the guns and the sound of guns and cannons and shouted to kill, and the rest did not know how the soldiers were, but the unfolding of more than 10,000 people, its momentum, or Zhu Youlang had an intuitive understanding of this army.
After returning to the barracks, Jiao Lian learned that there was no chaos in the firing of guns and cannons, but some people did not attack the firearms battalion without putting together the car camp.
It was almost morning, Jiao Lian took a document with red eyes and came to Zhu Youlang: "Your Majesty, this is a problem in this exercise. β
Zhu Youlang took the paperwork, did not open it, but walked to the side of the fire pond and burned it.
"I don't want to read any papers, I believe in your talent, and soon the war will start, and I will lead a large army to conquer in person, and I hope that this army will live up to my expectations."
Jiao Lian was moved and shouted to the ground: "Your Majesty, you will not be bloodied with your Majesty's will." β
"Hmm." Zhu Youlang smiled warmly and said: "This is the best, you go down, let the generals of each pole make a report and write out the solution they think, three days, you lead the generals above 100 to discuss the solution, and then prepare for the battle, and wait for me to give an order, you will fight with me." β
Although Zhu Youlang said it easily, Jiao Lian could hear that this battle must be a vicious battle, and Jiao Lian retreated.
Because his subordinates Zhao Xing and Baigui are all brave generals, only the rest of the newly promoted generals, Jiao Lian is still unclear about their abilities, so this summary and discussion is aimed at those new leaders.
Just when Zhu Youlang stepped up and prepared for the war, bad news came from Guangzhou again, and Peng Yao was killed.
Qu Shiyun and others supported the expedition to Guangzhou, and the cabinet proposed that Tang Shaoyao be the left attendant of the household department, Wang Huacheng should be the right attendant of the military department and the imperial history of the capital, and the governor of Liangguang should be the governor of Liangguang, with Lin Jiading as the left attendant of the military department, and Zhou Guangxia as the imperial history of the capital. Lin Jiading, the left attendant of the military department, is marshal to the east to discuss Su Guansheng. After Zhu Youlang thought about it again, he agreed.
Although Zhu Youlang understood that there was a big problem with this move at this time, at this time, there was a big enemy outside, and he had to carry it internally, and he had no power in his hands, so Zhu Youlang had to follow history to find an opportunity to turn the tables in one fell swoop, or create an opportunity to get the government in hand.
"Your Majesty, Lu Daqi said that he was sick and resigned." Just as Zhu Youlang was staring at the map of Guangzhou, Ding Siliang hurried over.
Zhu Youlang sighed loudly when he heard this: "No, I want to see Lu Lao." β
Ding Siliang looked at Zhu Youlang strangely: "Your Majesty, Old Man Lu has already taken his family and prepared to leave the city." β
Zhu Youlang's face became surprised, Zhu Youlang thought about what Lu Daqi was doing, wouldn't it be a disappointment when he looked at the internal competition.
"Let's go, let's see." As soon as Zhu Youlang walked out of the big tent, he frowned and ordered the guards beside him: "You ask Jiao Lian to bring Lao Tzu a thousand-person turtledove team over." β
When Zhu Youlang arrived at the gate of the city, Lu Daqi's convoy had just left the city, and Zhu Youlang rode directly to Lu Daqi's carriage.
"Can Old Lu come out and see you?" Zhu Youlang yelled at the carriage.
After a while, Lu Daqi came out and knelt in front of Zhu Youlang: "The old minister, alas, Yu Daming is powerless, I hope Your Majesty can pity the old minister and return to his hometown." β
Zhu Youlang turned to look at the people who were kneeling down beside him, Zhu Youlang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Old Lu is tired for the sake of Daming, come here, bring Old Lu back to the barracks for me, and I will let the doctor treat him carefully." β
As soon as these words came out, Lu Daqi was dumbfounded, in fact, he was not sick at all, but he saw the two sides fighting, he didn't want to participate in it, and he was not optimistic, at this time he avoided the infighting, and he knew that Zhu Youlang was so rude.
"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister....
When Lu Daqi wanted to understand something, the soldiers had already carried him away, and even more so, he put a rag on his mouth, and Zhu Youlang looked at the strange eyes of Lu Daqi's family.
"I know the loyalty of Lu Lao, I can't bear to drag Lu Lao away, I want the good name of the whole monarch and minister."
"My emperor is wise." Lu Daqi's family members all knelt down and shouted.
Seeing this, Zhu Youlang rode back, and Lu Daqi's family turned around.
After returning to the barracks, Zhu Youlang directly asked someone to take Lu Daqi to the outside of Guangzhou, and Zhu Youlang ordered Jiao Lian and Zhao Xing, Bai Gui, and Liu Qijiao to make a war layout.
"Your Majesty, this is not the King of Wisdom." As soon as Lu Daqi was taken away from the rope, he accused loudly.
"Phew." Zhu Youlang's face was furious and scolded: "Lao Tzu will listen to you and be a holy monarch again, and when he is old, he will follow Emperor Sizong." β
Lu Daqi turned his head unconvinced, but he did not continue to argue with Zhu Youlang, because Zhu Youlang said this, and Lu Daqi was sad in his heart.
"Alright." After a long time, Zhu Youlang's face returned to normal: "Old Lu, come and have a look." β
Lu Daqi looked along Zhu Youlang's fingers, and he saw the topography of Guangzhou City, especially the operational schematic map of its land and water landmarks.
"This, this..."
"Ugh." Zhu Youlang sighed and said: "The national disaster is like this, Lu Laoshi does not want to repay the country when he receives the favor of the country, which makes my heart ache." β
"Fuck your shit." As soon as Zhu Youlang fell, Lu Daqi immediately scolded with color: "The old man is willing to serve the country with his body, but the country is like this." β
Zhu Youlang was also a little surprised, Lu Daqi would lose his demeanor and scolded himself as a monarch, and after a while, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but smile and explained to Lu Daqi.
"What about me here and now, Lu Lao knows best, what can I do."
Lu Daqi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, and Zhu Youlang pointed to the map again when he saw this: "Li Chengdong is in Ganzhou, and when he goes south, there will be two places of Huichao, and his greatest possibility is to attack Guangzhou." β
Lu Daqi was also attracted by what Zhu Youlang said, and after looking at the whole schematic diagram, Lu Daqi looked at Zhu Youlang in puzzlement.
"Your Majesty, how are you so sure that Li Chengdong will go this way."
"First, Gu Chao recommended that he had surrendered, and Gu Chao recommended that he had an enmity with He Wusu, and second, at this time, Zhaoqing and Guangzhou were fighting, Zhaoqing was weak, and it was possible to experience a big defeat, and Guangzhou and Zhaoqing were fighting, their soldiers were far away, and the city was empty."
Listening to Zhu Youlang folding reasonably, Lu Daqi couldn't help touching his beard and looking at Zhu Youlang with appreciation, originally Lu Daqi thought that Zhu Youlang was delegating power, he was extremely disappointed, he was a faint king, and he was incompetent, but when Lu Daqi thought that Zhu Youlang was not fighting in the court, he was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the government is ......"
Without waiting for Lu Daqi to continue, Zhu Youlang stopped and interrupted: "In troubled times, there are soldiers who are kings." β
Lu Daqi stared at Zhu Youlang with wide eyes, and for a long time, Lu Daqi's face was displeased and admired: "This is reasonable. β
On the same day, LΓΌ Daqi acted as Zhu Youlang's staff officer, but at the end of November, the sad news that LΓΌ Daqi came again and again, first Zhaoqing won a small victory in Sanshui, and then was defeated by the enemy's fake surrender, and Lang Jiading, the left attendant of the military department, and Guan Can, the guerrilla general of the water division, were killed in battle.
Hearing this news, Zhu Youlang knew it was time to go.
After this, Zhu Youlang no longer heard of the government, and the government was entrusted to Qu Shiyun, Zhu Youlang ordered to command Jiao Lian to write a suicide note to the small soldiers, and fight with the will to die, and if he did not succeed, he would become benevolent.
