Chapter 542: Strength Greatly Increased
Nothing happened overnight. That night, Lord Wang had a dream, dreaming that Zhao Junqi, who played the role of a pig in the air a moment ago, was lying in his crotch for a while.
When he woke up in the morning, Wang Rui was embarrassed to find that his underwear was coated with a layer of paste.
It is said that this "thinks about the day and dreams at night". After crossing over, Lord Wang, now there are five or six beautiful wives and concubines, so naturally he will not care about Zhao Junqi's goldfish eyes.
may still be the reason for killing Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, the two big traitors. Wang Rui felt that this was the only reason why he dreamed of Zhao Junqi.
After a hasty breakfast, Lu Xiangsheng took his two brothers to Wang Rui's Chinese army tent to narrate.
"Uncle Loyalty, can you get news of the rebels?" Rao is Lu Xiangsheng is full of energy, and his words are still a little hurried.
"Ben Bo was about to inform Lord Lu. The rebels were divided into two groups, one went to the direction of Dezhou, Pingyuan, and Yucheng; The other group just went to the direction of Ningjin and Shanghe. Wang Rui didn't think about it, so he replied matter-of-factly.
"Uncle, did your sentry find out the movements of the rebels so quickly?" Lu Xiangguan still didn't believe it.
"This is Brother Xiangguan, right? To tell you the truth, our sentry sentry was spying on the enemy last night with the rebels' heels. The military intelligence of this return is absolutely true! Wang Rui replied confidently.
"The Dengzhou Army is indeed the strongest army in the world. When you see it today, you know that it is indeed not a waste of fame! Lu Xiangguan gave a heartfelt thumbs up.
"Brother Xiangguan is polite!" Being able to show off in front of Lu Xiangsheng, the most talented civilian official in the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Rui's pride in his heart could not be suppressed.
As for the so-called military situation of the "Dongjiang rebels", it is also absolutely true.
There was no other reason, the person who commanded them was Chen Song, the confidant in charge for the first time, and he acted completely according to Lord Wang's instructions.
Wang Rui wanted to take advantage of the Dongjiang Army mutiny to completely break the old order in Shandong by rebels, and take the whole of Shandong in one fell swoop.
By the way, especially those disobedient prefects and counties, and those high-ranking civil officials and gentry, they just took this opportunity to clear them up at one time.
"What is the plan of the loyal uncle?" Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and asked with a sincere attitude.
"This ...... The imperial court has long had a will. Since Lord Lu is the thief supervisor appointed by the imperial court, Ben Bo should obey the command of the lord! Wang Rui saw that Lu Xiangsheng put away the civil master's shelf, and his attitude and tone were much more respectful.
"Hey! This official lost his division and lost his soldiers, and humiliated the majesty of the court, and now he is waiting for his guilt, and it is only a matter of time before he is cut down and demoted. All military affairs, please let the loyal uncle decide for himself! Lu Xiangsheng said with a wry smile.
"Well, isn't it?" Wang Rui was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to prevaricate.
"Zhengwu! Uncle Tadashi doesn't mind what I call you, does he? Speaking of which, Lu has also looked up to the general for a long time. The Dengzhou army annihilated thousands of captives in the first battle, and Hu Kou was invincible, even if Qi Shaobao was alive, it was nothing more than that! Loyal uncle, please let it go, this official will make it clear to the court! Lu Xiangsheng sincerely took Wang Rui's hand and admonished.
"In this way, Ben will do as your lord commands." Wang Rui was happy in his heart, but he was also a little ashamed.
If Wang Rui's previous arrogance and methods were out of an overreaction to the sick "noble and lowly" of the Ming Dynasty, now it seems a little small in front of Lord Lu's sincerity.
Gentleman, how can you deceive him?
Since Lord Lu is so cooperative, Wang Rui doesn't want to make people feel stingy. After meeting with Yang Zhixian, the commander of Neixiang County, and introducing the military situation, Wang Rui sent a team of 100 people to escort Lu Xiangsheng back to his station.
Lu Xiangsheng lost faceless because of this battle against thieves, and after a few words of greeting with Yang Zhixian, he hurriedly left.
And our Lord Wang and Tang Xiaoxian's soldiers split into two ways, followed behind Chen Song and He Hanjun, the two rebels, and went to Shandong to recover the lost territory captured by the rebels.
After ......saying goodbye to Wang Rui and Yang Zhixian, Lu Xiangsheng deliberately climbed a small hill nearby.
He wanted to see what was going on in this area, but Lu Xiang really couldn't understand how he could be ambushed so easily.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also wanted to see what was so special about the Dengzhou Army, a strong army known as the first in the world.
"Tut, toot, toot......" At this moment, a crisp sound of military trumpets rose from the Dengzhou camp not far away. Lu Xiangsheng estimated that this was about to gather troops and go on the expedition.
However, the distance that Lord Wang had returned to the camp was actually no closer than Lu Xiangsheng and the others climbing this hill.
This...... It's too fast, isn't it?!
"Big brother, the Dengzhou Army has moved!" While he was thinking, Lu Xiangguan's exclamation interrupted Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts.
With the sound of the military horn, the camp of the Dengzhou Army suddenly came to life, and with the help of the binoculars presented by Wang Rui, Lu Xiangsheng saw that the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army in all corners were packing their tents and luggage.
A quarter of an hour! Lu Xiangsheng estimated that it was not even a quarter of an hour, and the huge barracks were swept away by the Dengzhou army. The nearly 5,000 Dengzhou troops in the barracks had already formed a neat phalanx in the open space outside the camp gate.
"So fast!" Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangkun couldn't help but exclaim in unison.
"Da, da, da......" accompanied by a crisp sound of horses' hooves, Wang Rui took Tang Xiaoxian, Lin Side and other generals and scribes, and rushed to the small earthen bag in front of the large phalanx.
"Zhao Zhaoming, the sun and the moon shine together!" "Megatron Huanyu, only the sky has a man!" As soon as Lord Wang stood in front of the phalanx, more than 5,000 people of the Dengzhou army immediately erupted into a tsunami-like shout.
"Let's go! Hunt down the traitors! Wang Rui's long knife pointed south, and the army began to divide into two groups in an orderly manner, heading southeast.
"My lord, my subordinates have set off first!" Tang Xiao bowed to Wang Rui first.
"Okay, let's go!" Wang Rui nodded, and Tang Xiaoxian immediately hit his horse and ran towards one of the teams.
"Sons, sing!" Tang Xiaoxian drank as he ran.
"Where the long knife goes, it points directly to the territory of the north......" A rich and heroic voice immediately sounded, floating in the empty field, making people inexplicable.
"The long sword is directed to the northern land; The remnant sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south; Banner hunting, summoning the war drums of the eastward; The yellow sand is long, and it can't stop the footsteps of the Western Expedition......" More voices continued to join it, and finally converged into an angry roar that shook the world.
"The world's strongest army, nothing more than this!" Looking at the Dengzhou army in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng stroked his beard and sighed with emotion.
"Young people! When your Dengzhou army usually set off, is the assembly preparation process also such a short time? Lu Xiangsheng turned to the side to escort his captain of the Dengzhou Army Hundred and asked.
"If you go back to Lord Lu, according to the military law of my Dengzhou Army, the time to assemble the camp in peacetime is a quarter of an hour, and the assembly time in wartime is only half an hour." The young squad leader replied without thinking.
"A quarter of an hour?" "Half an hour? Lu Xiangguan and Lu Xiangkun still don't believe it.
"Don't doubt it! The facts are all in front of you. Let's go! Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to stop the two brothers.
With the "Dongjiang Rebels" of Chen Song and He Hanjun as the lead, and the Dengzhou Army cavalry led by Wang Rui and Tang Xiaoxian as the follow-up, the two armies were like sharp blades inserted into the hinterland of Shandong.
In just one month, all the Shandong prefecture capitals such as Dongchang Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Caozhou Mansion, Wuding Mansion, and Qingzhou Mansion, which were previously far away from the Dengzhou Army's sphere of influence, were all included in Lord Wang's pocket.
Countless people were brought to Fushan Bay by the Dengzhou Army by various dazzling means, and the strength of Dengzhou Town increased again.
