Chapter Twenty-Nine: Parting Ways
After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, the generals all thought it was true, who didn't know the origin of this whip! This guy is much more powerful than the Shang Fang sword sent out by the Ming Emperor at every turn, Lu Xiangsheng is selfless with an iron face, who doesn't know who doesn't know? With this whip of beating gods, if anyone dares to retreat without disrespecting the order, then wait for death! Therefore, the generals immediately brushed up in unison and said loudly: "Obey the orders of the commander and the overseer!" We will fight to the death! ”
After the generals were ordered, the entire camp of the Dazhong Army began to be lively, as the adjacent Zhou Yuji's camp, but did not get the news, Zhou Yuji learned that the Dazhong Army seemed to be going to make a move, so he immediately sent someone to see the liaison officer left in his camp by the Dazhong Army to recruit him into his tent, and asked them what the Dazhong Army was going to do?
These liaison officers have not yet received the news, so they are also kept in the dark, shaking their heads and saying that they don't know, and after a while, Zhou Yuji's subordinates who stayed in the Dazhong military camp as liaison officers rushed back to the camp, and as soon as they entered Zhou Yuji's big tent, they immediately reported: "General Qiyu, the Dazhong army is going to pull out the camp and attack Shanhaiguan!" Lord Lu specially ordered me to come back and report to the general, please don't move without permission, and wait for Wu Junmen's orders here! ”
Zhou Yuji was anxious when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What's going on?" Didn't they say that they would not use force against Shanhaiguan as much as possible? At this time, the Jiannu army has begun to attack Shanhaiguan, if the Dazhong army attacks Shanhaiguan from behind at this time, isn't it killing each other? No, the official will never agree, come and fire the cannons! I'm going to ......"
"Report! Lord Lu, the superintendent of the Dazhong Army, asks to see the general! At this time, the soldiers shouted at the door, interrupting Zhou Yuji's order.
Zhou Yuji immediately shouted: "Please Lord Lu into the account!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiangsheng strode into the tent in a military uniform, hugged his fist at Zhou Yuji and said, "Lu has seen General Zhou!" ”
"Lord Lu! Didn't we say it? If you can not use force, will you not use force against Shanhaiguan? Why do you suddenly want to attack Shanhaiguan? Please ask Lord Lu to give Zhou an explanation, otherwise, Zhou will never agree even if he turns against you! Zhou Yuji was angry at this time, and his tone of voice was very impulsive, and he was very unkind to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the people in the tent and said with a smile: "Lu has something important to tell the general in private, and please ask the general to retreat!" ”
Zhou Yuji couldn't see what medicine was sold in Lu Xiangsheng's gourd, but he felt that this matter was probably not as simple as he thought, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's step back for the time being!" No one is allowed to enter the account without my greeting! ”
When only Lu Xiangsheng and Zhou Yuji were left in the account, Lu Xiangsheng whispered something to Zhou Yuji, after speaking, Zhou Yuji's face was constantly changing, and he seemed to be in a very complicated mood, he was a military general who liked to go straight to everything, and he couldn't hide his heart on his face, Lu Xiangsheng immediately saw his mood, so he sighed slightly and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, but this time we are working together to deal with Jiannu and enter the Kou, General Zhou must be a loyal minister, but he can't let everyone be martyred for the Ming Dynasty, Wu Junmen also has his own hardships, General Zhou, don't think about it anymore! Now the most important thing is to hold the front line of Shanhaiguan first, and prevent Jiannu from breaking through the pass and entering the Kou, and the military order given by Wu Junmen to General Zhou is probably coming soon! Xifengkou is also a place where soldiers must fight, the defense has always been weak, the troops are insufficient, Jiannu last time was from the Xifengkou area to break through, this time there please General Zhou!
We have some tiger squat cannons and exterminators here, and more than 300 bird guns and three-eyed guns, and a batch of ammunition, which are not of great use at the moment, if General Zhou does not dislike it, our marshal is willing to give it to General Zhou to strengthen the firepower under the general's command, and also give General Zhou 200 gunners, I hope General Zhou can accept it! ”
After hearing this, Zhou Yuji also sighed heavily: "It's okay!" Now that Wu Junmen has decided, the only thing to do now is to block the army of Jiannu! As for the future, we can only talk about it later! Thank you Lord Lu and Yan Dashuai for their kindness, Zhou is better to be respectful! ”
Not long after, the gunners of the 200 Chinese Army escorted more than 30 tiger squat cannons and exterminating cannons, as well as several large carts of ammunition, as well as a cart full of three-eyed guns and bird guns, to Zhou Yuji's army.
Zhou Yuji's army lacked firearms, although when he evacuated Juyong Pass, he dismantled some artillery from Juyong Pass and brought it here with the army, but their firepower was still very weak, the border passes around Xifengkou were in disrepair, and the number of defenders was also very small, so Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Chongxi discussed with Yan Chongxi, Yan Chongxi agreed to allocate non-Dazhong army standard artillery and some old-style guns in the hands of the surrendered troops along the way in the army to enhance Zhou Yuji's firepower, but considering the lack of gunners in Zhou Yuji's army, he simply selected 200 gunners from the army, Strengthened to Zhou Yuji's army, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced Zhou Yuji's strength, at this time Zhou Yuji wanted to draw a clear line with the Dazhong Army, it was already impossible, in desperation, in order to block the Jiannu army from entering the Kou, Zhou Yuji only temporarily put down the hostile identity of the two sides, received this batch of personnel and weapons, and immediately incorporated them into his army.
Before dawn, the Dazhong Army withdrew from the large camp on the periphery of Funingwei, and marched all the way to Shanhaiguan singing all the way, and rushed straight to their designated places.
At this time, several horses galloped from the direction of Shanhaiguan, the clothes on the body were obviously the clothes of the Ming official army, and they met the men and horses of the Dazhong army on the road, but there was no hostility between the two sides, these officers and soldiers also rode their horses to make way, and on horseback they gave a fist salute to the Dazhong army, and then turned the horses and ran towards Zhou Yuji's camp.
Not long after, Zhou Yuji's camp also sounded the sound of the camp, Zhou Yuji led more than 2,000 soldiers, immediately turned to the direction of Xifengkou and began to move away, many of Zhou Yuji's officers and soldiers when leaving, but also looked at the big Chinese army that was heading towards Shanhaiguan from a distance, full of reluctance, during this time they and the big Chinese army has established a friendship between each other, there has been no hostility, now they are going to Xifengkou garrison, God knows if they will ever see each other again.
And Zhou Yuji's mood is also very complicated, he wants to see Lu Xiangsheng and them again, but he doesn't want to see them again, because he is afraid that when he sees Lu Xiangsheng and them again, he can only fight each other with swords and guns, fighting to the death, and now he can only sigh, turn over and get on the horse, and wave his hand: "Full speed towards Xifengkou!" ”
When he turned his head again, he silently said in his heart: "I hope that I, Zhou, can die in Xifengkou this time, and never see you again!" ……”
