In November, the Qing army laid siege to the city of Gaoyang.

It stands to reason that Gaoyang County is just a county seat, and there is nothing to grab. However, the Qing army knew that there was an old opponent here.

This old opponent is Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong, under the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture in the north, is a native of Gaoyang County, Anzhou. The teacher of the "Carpenter Emperor" Zhu Youxiao, who once supervised Jiliao, built a 200-mile defense line in Ningjin, and made outstanding contributions.

Sun Chengzong is a talent, and he is idle at home at this time, and the Qing army has moved to recruit him. After several attempts to surrender to no avail, it was decided to attack in a big way.

Gaoyang County, with no soldiers, no generals, no beams, and three nos, failed to hold for a few days, then fell, and Sun Chengzong was captured.

The Qing army admired this old opponent very much, treated him with courtesy, and persuaded him to surrender again. Not surprisingly, Sun Chengzong still refused.

In the end, the Qing army did not take matters into their own hands and killed Sun Chengzong, but they did not intend to let him go, but let him commit suicide.

Seventy-six-year-old Sun Chengzong straightened his clothes and kowtowed to the north with a neat appearance.

After that, he hanged himself to death.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng decided to lead 5,000 men under his command to enter Julu County and face off against the Qing army ten times his size. Previously, he had been hesitating and did not make up his mind to send troops.

It was not that he was afraid of death and allowed the Qing army to plunder everywhere, but the people in his hands were all transferred by Gao Qiqian, leaving him with only 5,000 people.

There is no way, Inspector Lu is disobedient, he prefers to fight the main battle, and Gao Qiqian will no longer be polite to him.

More than 5,000 people, against the tens of thousands of people in the Shangqing army, there is no chance of victory!

Lu Xiangsheng is not a god, and he will not think that the 5,000 people under his command can defeat ten with one under his leadership. He understood that he had let Gao Qiqian empty his power, and this superintendent was in name only.

Before marching into the army, he had repeatedly asked Gao Qiqian to transfer people to join forces with him to meet the Qing army.

How can Gao Qiqian pay attention to him?

This overseer had already agreed with Yang Sichang, and would never give him any support, and even food would no longer be supplied.

After knowing that Sun Chengzong was martyred, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he should be like him, and he should die vigorously.

He made the same move as Sun Chengzong, and after deducting his head to the north, he gathered his 5,000 men and horses, and told everyone the truth that he would definitely die if he went!

Lu Xiangsheng gave the power of choice to these 5,000 subordinates. Those who are willing to follow him to meet the enemy and repay the country with death will follow, and those who are unwilling to die, he will never force it.

The next day, Lu Xiangsheng wore linen and filial piety and led the army out.

The 5,000 soldiers were quite a few, and all of them chose to follow the overseer into battle.

"What ?!!"

Li Xiu lost his voice and said: "Five thousand soldiers and horses meet the enemy, Lu Xiangsheng is crazy?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng decided to march into Julu on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and Li Xiu received the news the next day, and he had been paying attention to the battle situation.

Sun Ming, who was standing in front of him, did not answer this sentence, he knew that this question did not need to be answered.

Li Xiu has the memory of his previous life and knows that Lu Xiangsheng was killed in battle, is this battle?

Although Lu Xiangsheng is not interested in himself, Li Xiu admires the other party's ability to lead troops and the integrity of repaying the country with death.

He really didn't want people like Lu Xiangsheng to die like this.

If he sent his own army, he might be able to save his life, and if such a famous general could live and take it for his own use

Li Xiu really wanted to send troops to support Lu Xiangsheng, because this person was just like Yue Fei in his heart, he was an admirable person. But without Zhu Youzhen's order, if he dares to send troops privately, this crime is not a crime.

If you have an old family member, can you really take this risk?

"Lu Xiangsheng is dead!"

Li Xiu rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and sighed helplessly: "Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, these two sinister people, they are trying to force the pillars of the country to death!" ”

"Your Excellency, you want to save him?" Sun Ming asked tentatively.

"I did want to save him, and I knew that if I had sent troops, I would have had time to save him. But"

Li Xiu nodded slowly and continued: "But I don't want to take this risk, the emperor is already suspicious of me, and if I send troops without permission now, I'm afraid it won't please me." ”

"Why don't you play the Ming Holy Majesty and ask for troops?" Sun Ming proposed.

"Hehe, it's too late, what's more, our saint shouldn't agree to it, right?"

Li Xiu shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly his mind moved, and he thought about it seriously. Sun Ming's words reminded him and made him think of a plan.

If he asked Zhu Youzhen for troops and stayed here to wait for news, I am afraid that even if Zhu Youzhen agreed, by the time the order came down, Lu Xiangsheng would have died a long time ago, and it would be meaningless at all.

However, what if you go to the court now, and then don't wait for news, and send troops directly?

Although they are all the same troops, they are very different in nature.

If you don't play the imperial court, you will mobilize troops and horses without permission, but it is a serious crime of rebellion!

But if it is played, and then the troops are sent directly, it is to cut first and then play, which is lighter than the former, and it should not cost you your life.

Li Xiu felt that even if Zhu Youzhen was unhappy, as long as no enemy ran to Nanyuan, the capital would not be lost, and he would not be able to die.

Lu Xiangsheng will be out today, the enemy is in front of him, and he may encounter the enemy in the afternoon at the earliest.

His own garrison was hundreds of miles away from his garrison, and if he led the cavalry battalion to reinforce it now, it should still be too late. Only the other party can hold on a little longer, wait until his own men and horses arrive, and then force Gao Qiqian not far away to send troops, and the Qing army should be enough to fight inextricably.

At that time, his follow-up infantry artillery arrived, and it seemed that there was some chance of victory. If you really let yourself win, you can still have the effect of atonement for sin, and you will not be able to die.

Li Xiu thought a little naïvely, and suddenly realized that time was running out, so he immediately sent someone to the capital to report the truth to Zhu You.

Afterwards, he instructed Sun Ming: "You immediately take someone to Jize now, and let him send troops to Julu, he killed loyal ministers and good generals, and this official has found conclusive evidence." If he is unwilling to send troops to support, I will join him in front of His Majesty! ”

"Yes."

Sun Ming responded, and asked with some anxiety: "What if he still doesn't agree to send troops?" ”

"That's"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Then tie him up, take away his military power, and then lead the army over for reinforcements!" ”

Sun Ming was stunned, opened his mouth to dissuade him, and finally responded: "Yes." ”

Li Xiu nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "He must be allowed to send troops, if he doesn't send troops, I will be buried with Lu Xiangsheng!" ”

"Adult"

Sun Ming exclaimed in surprise, but Li Xiu just waved his hand and asked him to carry out the order.

Actually, Li Xiu didn't have to take this risk, but he still did it.

As a man, you still have to have the blood you should have!

What's more, if this matter is really done, in exchange for a famous general, the grace of saving lives is not so easy to return!

Gao Qiqian is just a eunuch, and Li Xiu believes that as long as Sun Ming takes advantage of his unpreparedness, it should not be difficult to subdue this person. As long as there are more than 20,000 reinforcements, he will not die on the battlefield.

Even if I can't beat it in the end, can't I still run away?

Ahem, ahem, it should be a breakthrough retreat.

Soon after Sun Ming left, Li Dong rushed to the Chinese army camp.

After hearing that Li Xiu asked him to lead the cavalry battalion into battle, he didn't ask, took the order with excitement on his face, and then immediately went to gather people and horses.

As soon as Li Dong walked on his front foot, Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan, deputy generals of the Shenji Battalion, also arrived, and the Chinese army camp was full of people, and it suddenly began to become lively.

Li Xiu's orders were conveyed one by one, and his subordinates did not raise any objections and carried them out seriously.

After arranging everything, Li Dong's cavalry battalion was ready and ready to be deployed at any time.

Li Xiu and he walked out of the tent quickly, but they didn't expect to meet Yan Siyin head-on. (To be continued.) )
