Lu Xiangsheng was reading the newspaper, and when he saw that it was Wang Yue, he slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, do you still want to persuade me to surrender?" ”

Although he fought in all directions during his career as a horseman, Lu Xiangsheng, who was born as a jinshi, was an authentic literati. Now that I'm in prison and can't get out, it's hard to pass the time. Fortunately, there is such a thing as a newspaper in the starting point city, and as a high-ranking prisoner, you will receive a newspaper every day.

Although most of the content of this newspaper was singing praises to Wang Yue, it provided conditions for Lu Xiangsheng to understand the starting point city.

In fact, this is Wang Yue's intention, mutual ignorance, will produce distrust, to win over people like Lu Xiangsheng is not a day's work.

Wang Yue said: "The governor is laughing, aren't we all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, how can we persuade us to surrender?" ”

"You are still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty?" Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "You have committed the following crimes, refused to obey the king's orders, and now you are openly confronting the imperial army and imprisoning me here, which point is like a courtier of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Wang Yue put away his smile and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Not applicable to me! First of all, the court wants my life, and it is not my character to poke my neck! ”

"How much I have contributed to the imperial court, Lu Dugong must also know it, but the imperial court says that if you kill it, isn't it chilling?"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little dumbfounded, the Tiance army annihilated more than 100,000 Qing troops before and after, no matter how much he was rewarded, such a great achievement could not be overappreciated. Since the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and the Manchu Dynasty has been helpless. Therefore, Wang Yue can be described as a meritorious achievement, and it is indeed a loss for the imperial court to treat him like this.

But this is the era of feudal imperial power, and all the forces that may threaten the imperial power are intolerable to the emperor, as a traditional literati, Lu Xiangsheng certainly understands its roots, otherwise there will be no tragic heroes like Yue Fei in history. It's a pity that it is the end of the dynasty, the majesty of the court is getting worse and worse, and Wang Yue is not Yue Fei.

"Lord Wang, how are you going to deal with the aftermath now? This official will never rebel! Lu Xiangsheng asked.

Wang Yue said: "I didn't think about persuading the governor to surrender!" ”

For persuading Lu Xiangsheng to surrender, Wang Yue didn't have that much confidence, and there was no need for that.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his heart sank, but he was not panicked, he sat up straight and said: "Be loyal to the court, and do your duty, please!" ”

Wang Yue laughed and said, "I didn't say I was going to kill the Duke. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was confused by Wang Yue, he neither killed nor persuaded him to surrender, did he still have to raise himself as a fat pig? To be honest, despite being imprisoned, the food here is really good, and it hasn't been so idle for many years. Wang Yue had already reversed, so he didn't expect Wang Yue to let him out.

"The Governor will stay here for a few days, and I will let you go back in a few days!" In this battle outside Fucheng Gate, most of the troops of the Xuanda Governorate were folded here. The Xuanda Governor's District is an important frontier area, defending Mongolia in the north and Manchu in the east, and it cannot be empty for a long time and has no one to command. It doesn't matter to Wang Yue whether Lu Xiangsheng returns to obedience or not, and the current Xuanda Governorate still needs him to go back to sit down.

Wang Yue was willing to let himself go, which surprised Lu Xiangsheng, after all, he was one of the most capable ministers in the court, and letting himself go back was equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

However, when he thought of the fighting style of the Tiance Army, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but become depressed, what if he went back? It is also for nothing to bring another 100,000 troops here, not to mention that the imperial court is now empty in the treasury, and it is not easy to train another 100,000 elite soldiers.

Wang Yue saw that his expression was first happy, then gloomy, and no matter what he thought, he continued: "My starting point city will carry out relevant business in Shanxi, and I hope that the governor will be able to make it convenient when he arrives." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he heard this, and said categorically: "There is absolutely no way, how can this official help the abuse." "This is Wang Yue is going to stretch out his hand to Shanxi, and Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to stay and refuse.

"Lu Du's words are serious!" Wang Yue shook his head and said, "What I have done in the starting city and the Tiance army, which one is not a move to benefit the country and the people?" What is the meaning of abuse? If I start from the city and develop my business to Shanxi, it will definitely be beneficial to the local people's livelihood. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Xuanda, and the governor of Shanxi and Datong should also be under his leadership, and his cooperation would be more conducive to the progress of Shanxi's work. The defeat of Jingshi this time is considered a non-war crime, and according to Chongzhen's trust in Lu Xiangsheng, he should not be guilty.

The two were chatting, and Wang Yue's PHS rang, and it turned out that Cao Huachun came with a holy decree.

Chongzhen came to the holy decree again at this time, which made Wang Yue very curious.

Before leaving, he said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Dugong think about it, even if you don't agree, then my Tiance army will march into Shanxi." ”

If the Tiance Army wants to move into the Jin, who can stop it? Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this.

Cao Huachun, as the eunuch in charge of the seal, can be described as a high-ranking and prominent identity. Although his godson Cao Ruyi and Wang Yue fought hotly, and he was often able to receive gifts from Wang Yuejin, it was the first time he came to the starting point city.

However, this time is different from the past, it has only been a long time, and the former homeless talent, after a few turns, has become a figure who decides his life and death.

Standing at the east gate of the starting point city, Cao Huachun was worried, and the plan was offered by him, so Chongzhen ordered him to announce the decree, and by the way, he touched Wang Yue's true thoughts.

As soon as Wang Yue came out of the city gate, he saw Cao Huachun and his party, but they were all surrounded by soldiers of the Tiance Army.

In fact, the periphery of the Jingshi is already under the control of the Tiance Army, if it weren't for them coming to announce the decree, the city gate might not be able to get out.

Wang Yue strode up and greeted him with a smile: "Manager Cao, I have been looking up for a long time, although you and I have never met, we have been going back and forth for many days. ”

From Cao Huachun's dress, age, and respectful attitude of the entourage, Wang Yue judged his identity at a glance.

Although he didn't understand whether Wang Yue's enthusiasm was false or true, Cao Huachun didn't dare to be arrogant, after all, the situation was stronger than people.

He smiled and arched his hand to Wang Yue and said: "The Sprinkle family has also admired the name of Lord Wang for a long time, and I have the fate to meet today, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

"Mr. Cao, please come into the city, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet!"

Wang Yue's enthusiasm surprised Cao Huachun, after all, the exchange of courtesies was just his filial piety as the chief manager of the palace and Wang Yue as a subordinate official, and the two actually did not have much friendship.

Only Cao Huachun, Cao Ruyi and a few little eunuchs who came with them were able to enter the city, and those Han generals and other soldiers were blocked outside the city.

Wang Yue is indeed very enthusiastic, Cao Huachun and his party were taken to the starting point city guest house by a bus after entering the city, since the completion of the guest house, it has been renamed the starting point city hotel.
