On December 2, Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, set out from his military camp, rushed into the city of Beijing, and rode straight to Yang Sichang's mansion in the west of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Entering Yang's house, he directly found Yang Sichang, who was scolding the slave in the second hall.

This time, the Qing army entered the fortress, Yang Sichang was under a lot of pressure, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty said that it was he, the cabinet elder who advocated peace, who was unable to plan for peace, so that the Qing army entered Gyeonggi. Moreover, after the Qing army entered Gyeonggi, it was like entering a no-man's land, except for Lu Xiangsheng's department, no one dared to fight other Ming soldiers and horses.

Yang Sichang advocated peace, but now there is no clue about peace, and the Qing army is ravaging the suburbs of Beijing. And Lu Xiangsheng, who held high the banner of the main battle, won one victory after another.

Lu Xiangsheng's victory made the ministers of the main war in the DPRK and China very excited. Yang Sichang's attitude of avoiding war was attacked by hundreds of officials.

Not long ago, editor Yang Tinglin said: "Including the Southern Middle, Li Gang is useless; The hidden goodness is successful, and Zong Ze is hateful. If the country has people, it is not a blessing. He was not afraid that Yang Sichang would be favored by the Son of Heaven, and pointed the finger at Yang Sichang, saying that because of Yang Sichang's lord and attitude, the ministers of Xinjiang did not dare to fight and could not fight. If Yang Sichang is not dismissed, the generals will not dare to fight.

Yang Sichang was furious and played the Son of Heaven, changed Yang Tinglin to the head of the military department, and sent him to Lu Xiangsheng's camp to be a praise and painting camp, so that he could taste the pain of the battlefield battle.

Yang Tinglin was originally an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he was a noble position. Not only that, Yang Tinglin also served as an official and a direct feast, and he had a bright future. In comparison, the future of Lu Xiangsheng's praise and painting camp in the army is far worse. Yang Tinglin lost his future because of his attack on Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang's revenge shocked the ministers for a while, and no one dared to scold Yang Sichang again. But under the calm, the undercurrent is turbulent. Yang Sichang obviously felt the pressure on his shoulders increasing. If Lu Xiangsheng wins a few more games in the main battle, it is estimated that the ministers will overturn themselves, the lord and the elder of the pavilion, to the ground and step on them a few times.

Yang Sichang was depressed and angry with slaves at home. In the morning, a slave put more tea leaves when he was making tea, and was scolded by Yang Sichang for a quarter of an hour without stopping.

Chen Xinjia walked into the second hall, looked at the situation, walked up and said:

"The elder of the pavilion is angry, the front-line scouts are in a hurry to report, the Qing army is moving!"

Yang Sichang exhaled and asked in a cold voice, "What's the movement?" ”

Chen Xinjia explained: "The Qing army abandoned Zhuzhou County in Shandong Province and gathered troops under the city of Jinan, and then abandoned Jinan again, and the troops were divided into two routes. 40,000 people went west, apparently looking for a decisive battle between Lu Xiangsheng and Li Zhi. Nearly 30,000 people went all the way to the north, and I don't know where to go. ”

Yang Sichang took a breath of cool air, grabbed the armrest of the carved rosewood chair and sat down.

Yang Sichang shook his head and said, "This is not a good thing. The Qing army is looking for Li Zhi for a decisive battle! If Li Zhi wins again in this battle, the civil and military officials of the main battle will definitely attack me in groups, and your and my official fortunes will come to an end, and I can't say that my life is in danger. ”

"On the other hand, if Li Zhi is defeated, our Ming army will no longer have soldiers and horses that can compete with the Qing army, and the peace negotiation with the Qing army will be even more difficult. The Qing army of 40,000 people attacked together, and the victory was very large, and I am afraid that our peace situation will really become an alliance under the city. ”

"The alliance under the city is embarrassed, and I am afraid that the hundred officials will not agree to it at that time, and our peace agreement will also fail. At that time, the Son of Heaven will no longer trust you and me. ”

When Chen Xinjia heard Yang Sichang's analysis, he also understood, and frowned and was silent for a while.

Yang Sichang patted the armrest of the chair and scolded: "This Lu Xiangsheng is really a Qiu Ba, I asked him not to fight, he didn't listen!" Now that the Qing army is looking for him for a decisive battle, how can this situation be stopped? ”

Yang Sichang was annoyed, grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground. The blue and white porcelain teacup fell to the ground, and with a clatter, it fell into pieces, and the ground was sprinkled with tea and tea leaves.

These days, Yang Sichang can't reverse the situation with all his means, and he is already angry and degraded.

Chen Xinjia looked at the tea that had been spilled on the ground and rolled his eyes.

He suddenly bowed to Yang Sichang and said, "Elder Ge, we might as well transfer Li Zhi away and let Lu Xiangsheng die." Lu Xiangsheng of the main battle died in battle, and the momentum of the main battle faction will be greatly reduced. Li Zhi's soldiers and horses have been preserved, and we also have the capital to negotiate peace. ”

Yang Sichang sighed and said, "We haven't moved Li Zhi away after spending so much effort this month, how can we transfer Li Zhi in a hurry?" ”

Chen Xinjia clapped his hands and said: "Ge Lao, Li Zhi has relied on Fanjiazhuang no matter what official he has been promoted over the years, which shows that what he cares about most is his industry in Fanjiazhuang!" ”

Yang Sichang's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, lie to Li Zhi that Fanjiazhuang has police?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Exactly, Ge Lao, we said that we got information that nearly 30,000 Qing troops went north to find Fanjiazhuang." Hearing this news, then Li Zhi didn't abandon Lu Xiangsheng and went all out to go back to Fanjiazhuang to protect his industry? As long as Li Zhi walks away for a month, the Qing army will definitely be able to kill Lu Xiangsheng. ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Ge Lao, Li Zhi killed and injured the Qing army so much, the Qing army hated him to the bone, maybe the Qing army really went north this time to copy Li Zhi's lair." ”

Yang Sichang thought for a while and said, "What if Lu Xiangsheng goes to Fanjiazhuang with Li Zhi?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Let the Son of Heaven give Lu Xiangsheng a holy decree and tell him to stay in the area of Julu." Lu Xiangsheng prides himself on his loyalty all day long, and he will definitely not resist the order to go north. ”

Yang Sichang listened to Chen Xinjia's words and pondered for a while. Soon, he laughed. The more he laughed, the happier he became, and finally he burst out laughing.

"This time, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely die!"

On December 4, outside Julu City, in the tent of the Chinese military camp of Lu Xiangsheng's army, the eunuch read out the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven said: There are police in Tianjin, and the 30,000 Qing troops went straight to Fanjiazhuang, and urgently transferred Li Zhi back to Fanjiazhuang. Another 40,000 Qing troops rushed directly to Julu and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to meet the enemy in Julu and hold the territory.

Hearing the holy decree, Li Zhi was anxious. These Tartars are so cunning, and when they are defeated by themselves, they divide their troops and raid their hometowns. Now Fanjiazhuang is only defended by more than 2,000 soldiers, where can it be defended when it encounters 30,000 Qing troops?

If Fanjiazhuang was captured by the Qing army, his own industry would be finished. Without industrial support, the Tiger Benshi is also a soilless wood, or it will collapse in a few months.

Li Zhi couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to Fanjiazhuang, and immediately asked Lu Xiangsheng for his resignation.

Holding the holy decree in his hand, Lu Xiangsheng's face was like ashes, and he said sadly: "Yang Sichang killed me..."

Li Zhi was stunned, and only then did he consider Lu Xiangsheng's situation: as soon as he left, Lu Xiangsheng would only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left. The combat strength of the Qing army was stronger than that of the Ming army, and 40,000 Qing troops were killed, how could Lu Xiangsheng lead the two general soldiers to resist? As soon as this holy decree was issued, Lu Xiangsheng faced a situation of death and no life.

Li Zhi took a breath, arched his hand at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Why don't you go to Fanjiazhuang with me and work together to defeat the enemy?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said in a choked voice: "The holy decree asked me to stay in Julu, how can I go to Tianjin?" Lu Xiang's cohosh-clad man fought on the battlefield, which was already unfilial. Now, if you disobey the king's orders, you will be disloyal! ”

"Lu Xiangsheng led the troops with an ominous body, not seeking to make meritorious contributions, but only seeking a horse leather shroud. Now is the time for Lu Xiangsheng to sacrifice his life for the country! ”

Li Zhi was anxious and was about to say more, but saw that Lu Xiangsheng had already turned around.

"The big husband is just dying on the battlefield. The general soldier asked me to disobey the holy decree and do disloyalty, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't do it! There is a police in Fanjiazhuang, and the holy decree urgently dispatches the general army, and the general soldier hurries to support Tianjin! ”

After saying this, Lu Xiangsheng walked into the barracks in a daze and never came out again. (To be continued.) )
