Chapter 13 Going to the Meeting 2

As soon as Zhou Yuji arrived at Juyong Pass, he immediately began to deploy troops in the area of Juyong Pass, he knew that his troops were limited, and the training of the officers and soldiers was insufficient, which was not enough to go out of the pass and win the field battle with the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, so he put his main energy on the deployment of the wall, rearranged the various artillery on the pass, so that it formed a cross fire against the pass, and prepared a large number of rolling wood and stones and arrows and other things, it can be said that he was ready for everything, just waiting for the Xingtian army to attack, In Juyong Pass, he fought with Xingtianjun to break the net.

And Zhou Yuji simply lived in the city tower of Juyong Guannan Guan, eating, drinking, and sleeping all on the city tower, he did this, and also mobilized the morale of his subordinates, and the generals under his command admired their head very much, so they all held the will to die, and they wanted to follow Zhou Yuji and the Xingtian thief to fight to the death, which is also the saying that a soldier is a bear, and a nest of bears will be a nest, once the master will dare to work hard, the soldiers will naturally not be a bad breed.

Juyong Pass is one of the famous Xiongguan in the world, the terrain is very dangerous, it is known as the four major passes in the west of Beijing, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Zhou Yuji does not have many troops, but once they defend Juyong Pass, even if the troops and firearms are at a disadvantage, the large Chinese army wants to forcibly take this pass, enter the capital, it is also a very difficult thing, do not pay a heavy price, it is impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Yuji believes that as long as he and his subordinates dare to fight, they will be able to defend this last line of defense for the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhou Yuji was waiting for the Dazhong army to attack the city, he saw the Dazhong army stopped outside the pass from a distance, and did not make an immediate attack posture, but Zhou Yuji did not dare to be careless, and after wearing it neatly, he still transferred the soldiers to the top of the wall, added artillery, and prepared to launch the cannon.

But I didn't think about it, after waiting for a while, the big army didn't seem to have the intention of attacking, but there was a person riding alone towards the gate, from a distance, this person was dressed in a Confucian shirt, seemed to be a civilian official, and did not hold any weapons in his hand, so he swaggered to the pass.

"Come, stop! If you dare to close the door again, you won't blame us for being polite! A general who was on guard at the gate shouted at the man who had come to the gate.

I saw that as soon as this person heard the sound and pulled the reins of the horse, he stopped at a distance of twenty or thirty steps outside the closed door, and his whole body was very relaxed and immediately aimed at many bows and arrows, with a calm face.

"The generals above are invited! In Xia Lu Xiangsheng, today I came to ask to see General Zhou Yuji Zhou! I also hope to let Lu enter the customs and see General Zhou! The man who came to the gate on a single horse clenched his fists on horseback and shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers on the gate.

Hearing that this person claimed to be Lu Xiangsheng, the officers and soldiers on the gate immediately gasped, and couldn't help but be quite shocked, who didn't know Lu Xiangsheng's name? That was the governor of the world's reinforcements personally appointed by the emperor back then, the secretary of the Ming Military Department, and he was also the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Xuanda, and he might tremble when he stomped his feet.

When he was the governor of the five provinces, he did not know how many thieves were captured in Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili and other places, and later as the governor of Xuanda, when he led the troops into the guard, he blocked the Jiannu army with weak brigades again and again, and finally was surrounded by the Jiannu army in Julu County, and almost fought to the end of the army.

Lu Xiangsheng is definitely one of the legendary figures of the Ming Dynasty, two months ago, the generals of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have admired him very much, but now when he hears his name again, it makes the officers and generals feel very conflicted, and it can even be said that they are very entangled.

In fact, although many people scolded Lu Xiangsheng for being a traitor, saying that he was a rebel and a thief, and was disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, but in their hearts, many people did not believe that Lu Xiangsheng really betrayed the criminal thief, and in turn wanted to oppose the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of many people, Lu Xiangsheng should be a loyal minister, even if he died, he could only be a loyal ghost of the Ming Dynasty.

But on the other hand, almost no one in the world knows all kinds of injustices and constraints suffered by the court and courtiers after Lu Xiangsheng entered the guard, and they feel unfair for Lu Xiangsheng, and they are deeply disappointed in the court, the emperor They dare not scold, but Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, the two bastards, as well as those ministers who cut off Lu Xiangsheng's supply of soldiers and horses, grain and grass, they dare to scold! For this reason, while some people scolded Lu Xiangsheng for being disloyal, they couldn't forget to take Yang Sichang and others, who were already dead, to scold together.

Now Lu Xiangsheng actually came to the pass alone, which surprised the officers and soldiers guarding the pass, they were still babbling to release arrows, but at this time many people involuntarily put down the bows and arrows in their hands.

The general scratched his head, didn't know how to answer, and wanted to clasp his fists and salute, but thinking about it, now Lu Xiangsheng and them are hostile, they shouldn't salute him, so after a pause, he shouted: "Lu ...... You wait! I'm going to go and enlighten our general! After that, he trotted to find Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji had actually heard Lu Xiangsheng's shout, and his heart jumped suddenly, and without waiting for the general manager who came to him to reply, he ordered: "Pass the order, put the hanging basket to go down, and let the traitor Lu Xiangsheng enter the customs in the hanging basket!" Ben was going to meet this disloyal and unrighteous traitor! ”

The boss returned to the gate and shouted, "Lou ...... down there Lord Lu please, our general has an order, now you and I are enemies, your army is pressing, I will not be easy to open and close the door to invite the adults to enter the customs, I hope the adults will forgive me, please take the hanging basket to enter the customs, please don't be angry if you are sluggish! ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly after hearing this, hugged his fists and said: "General Zhou should do this, how can Lu blame you!" Let's put the hanging basket down! Lu obeyed General Zhou's orders! ”

After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng dismounted, threw the reins on the saddle, patted the head of his beloved horse, and let this well-understood war horse turn around and run back to the base camp alone, while he turned around and walked to the bottom of the gate, and put down a hanging basket in the city, Lu Xiangsheng stepped into the hanging basket, and was pulled on top of the city by the officers and soldiers above, and was immediately escorted to Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji sat on a big chair in the city gate tower with a golden knife, his two eyes stared at the door, when he saw Lu Xiangsheng swaggering into the house, his pupils contracted suddenly, Zhou Yuji had seen Lu Xiangsheng, when Lu Xiangsheng entered the guard, he was also in the camp outside the Beijing Division, and he had followed Gao Qi to sneak into Lu Xiangsheng, but at that time Zhou Yuji was just a general, his status was not high enough, he could only stand behind those chief officers, and he was not able to talk to Lu Xiangsheng. But at that time, he still admired Lu Xiangsheng a lot, but he was only suffering from the fact that their Beijing camp had to be ordered by Gao Qiqian's men, and he couldn't follow Lu Xiangsheng to fight Jiannu, and later when he heard the news of Lu Xiangsheng's "death", he sighed a lot.

But when he didn't want to see Lu Xiangsheng again, he was already a thing, but now Lu Xiangsheng has become an official under the command of the Xingtian thief, but he has become his enemy.

When he saw that the person who came was Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji gritted his teeth, and wanted to stand up and salute Lu Xiangsheng, but after hesitating, he still didn't stand up, and he didn't let Lu Xiangsheng give him a seat, but sneered and said: "It turns out that it is really Lu Governor, please forgive me for being in armor, it is inconvenient to salute Lu Governor!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Lu Xiangsheng stood in the hall without humility or arrogance, and looked at Zhou Yuji, who was sitting on his hands, only to see that Zhou Yuji was not tall, but he looked very strong, and at this time he was wearing a set of mountain armor commonly used by the Ming army generals, and he was sitting there with a golden sword, with a mocking face.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the sake of the people in the world, for Xiao Tianjian's trust in him and the grace of his knowledge, how could he come here to suffer the humiliation of this martial artist? But his face did not change, and he said with a smile: "General Zhou doesn't have to be polite, now that you and I are enemies, it is reasonable for General Zhou to be so unkind to Lu!" ”

Zhou Yuji saw that Lu Xiangsheng was unmoved, so he asked impatiently: "Lu Xiangsheng, I will ask you in the future, the emperor has taken you a lot, and he trusts you, so that you are the official to the position of the secretary of the military department, but why do you want to betray the emperor?" Aren't you here today to persuade the general to surrender on behalf of the thief?

If so, Ben would advise you to take a break from the effort! Ben will never follow your example and betray the current emperor so ungrateful! Since you dare to come here to see me today, how can I spare you, a rebel and thief, come here! Tie up this ungrateful rebel thief to the general, push him out and cut off his head, send his head to the capital division, and present it to the emperor! ”

This Zhou Yuji is really like a fire, and he didn't let Lu Xiangsheng explain his intentions at all, so he ordered Lu Xiangsheng to be pushed out and cut down, and after those Zhou Yuji's personal soldiers listened to the order, they immediately pounced like wolves and tigers, and wanted to tie Lu Xiangsheng out with a rope.

But who is Lu Xiangsheng? Don't look at him as a civil official, but he is talented, has a huge strength, and is good at using a big sword, and he is unambiguous compared to the generals when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, several family members rushed to him, only to see him shake his shoulder, he shook off the arms of several family members, and sneered and shouted: "All give this official a retreat!" ”

Maybe it's because Lu Xiangsheng's reputation is too big, maybe it's because he has been in the top position for a long time and has accumulated a sense of majesty on his body, or maybe these family members are a little afraid of him, in short, he broke off his voice, so that several family members involuntarily took a few steps back, Lu Xiangsheng didn't give them a chance to pounce again, and suddenly tore off his clothes, revealing his upper body, only to see that Lu Xiangsheng's body was very strong, and this kind of figure made many generals involuntarily a little ashamed, But that's not surprising.
