Many of the troops in Lu Xiangsheng's hands have already been transferred, and he himself should have gone home to defend the system because of Ding Wei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It was only because of the critical situation that the emperor ordered him to seize the favor and continue to stay in the position of governor of Xuanda. Now Lu Xiangsheng barely has three general soldiers, but the strength in the hands of these three general soldiers is not enough, and the total number of people is only more than 20,000.

As for the Guanning army that cooperates with them, this is the army that spends the most money in my Ming Dynasty, has the strongest warlord flavor, and has the most slippery head to fight. The best trick is to rob the people, invade like fire, send troops to the enemy, they are like forests, turn in and flee, they are as fast as the wind, and friendly troops are difficult and do not move like mountains. No army that I have worked with them has not been cheated by them.

In fact, if Guan Ningjun was willing to fight honestly, instead of studying how to "die and not die and be poor" or something all day long, they would not really be able to fight at all. This can be seen in their later performance after the surrender of the Manchus. But at least in my Daming, there is really no one who can let them fight honestly now.

Of course, there will be retribution if you always play "Dead Friends Don't Die Poor", as the saying goes, if you often walk at night, you will meet ghosts. Later, in the first battle in Zhuxian Town, Guan Ningjun was also regarded as a "dead friend but not a poor man". At that time, Guan Ningjun took a sum of money from the imperial court, and then robbed the common people along the road, and then prepared to go to a decisive battle with Li Zicheng with Zuo Liangyu. Who knew that Zuo Liangyu had cooperated with Guan Ningjun (that is, he had been pitted), and knew the virtue of Guan Ningjun, so he simply came to strike first, and before Guan Ningjun, he transferred in first. finally succeeded in pitting Guan Ningjun.

It is precisely because of this that as soon as I heard that the imperial court let me follow Lu Xiangsheng to meet Jianxuan, and it was the Guan Ning Army that cooperated with me, and the entire Xuanda army, from Lu Xiangsheng to the general soldiers below, secretly screamed in their hearts that it was not good. They all know that this battle is not easy to fight, not to mention anything else, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has come up, these uncles will give you a mountain that does not move like a mountain, and then a turn like the wind, that is really going to die!

Of course, if Lu Xiangsheng is willing to learn from the advanced experience of the Guan Ning Army, not to mention anything else, he will first send troops to face the enemy Xu Rulin or something, and it is estimated that he will be able to save himself. It's just that Lu Xiangsheng also understands the reason why the emperor gave him an order at this time. At the beginning, when Yang Sichang put forward the plan of "four positive corners and six corners, ten sides of the net", and prepared to make peace with Jianxuan for this purpose, Lu Xiangsheng has always been resolutely opposed. Because this plan is too risky, if it is to succeed, it must rely on Huang Taiji being an easily gullible fool. And once Huang Taiji is not fooled, or even calculates, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger of collapse. In Lu Xiangsheng's view, Chongzhen and Yang Sichang's set of things is completely nonsense to rush to the doctor in a hurry.

It's just that now, Emperor Chongzhen has been fooled, and all kinds of capital invested in the suppression of bandits have been trapped, and now if he gives up halfway, he will really have nothing to lose. So now that Emperor Chongzhen made this decision, he can understand it. Now is the time to gamble.

"Moreover, if Guan Ningjun can really unite with us sincerely, we are not without hope of blocking the caninth. As long as we block Jianxuan and give the imperial court time to completely exterminate the rogues, there is still a lot to be done in the future of state affairs. I don't think Guan Ningjun and they won't understand this. Lu Xiangsheng said to Hu Dawei, the chief soldier under him. These words are a little like comforting Hu Dawei, and a little like comforting themselves.

"Governor Lu, the last general also knows this truth, but the last general really can't trust Guan Ningjun. Those guys never fought without taking money, and even if they did, they never fought well! Hu Dawei said hatefully.

"The emperor sent the high father-in-law of the imperial horse supervisor to be the supervisor of the Guan Ning army, and it would not be too much to think of them. And the survival of the emperor can be said to be a battle here. If he is defeated, the official can only die for the country to repay the emperor's favor. Lu Xiang ascended.

Hu Dawei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but he still sighed and said nothing in the end. Just lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

……

Gao Qiqian also received an order to prepare to leave Beijing early the next morning to make peace with King Qin's Guan Ning army. At that time, many great eunuchs had private residences outside the palace, and Gao Qiqian was naturally no exception. Before leaving, Gao Qi returned home worriedly, and that night, a guest came to his house. And this guest is Yang Sichang's henchman Chen Xinjia.

A month later, Gao Qiqian led the Guan Ning army to join Lu Xiangsheng in Julu. According to the emperor's decree, the Guanning army should be controlled by Lu Xiangsheng. However, Gao Qiqian refused to implement the various strategies proposed by Lu Xiangsheng for various reasons. However, in fact, even if Gao Qiqian agrees to those demands to fight to the death, it is not certain whether the Guanning army will implement them. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to compromise and formulate a plan with the troops of less than 20,000 men under his command as the main force and the much larger number of Guanning troops as the countermeasures. After several controversies, coupled with the fact that the imperial court allocated a sum of money to Guan Ningjun, this plan was finally approved by Guan Ningjun.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's left and right roads had also completed the division, the army bypassed the capital according to the instructions of Huang Taiji before the army, approached Julu, Lu Xiangsheng commanded the army to advance, arrived at Jiazhuang, and at the same time ordered the Guanning army to set off from Jize according to the plan, move closer to Jiazhuang, and form a corner with himself. Facing Lu Xiangsheng's envoy, Gao Qiqian agreed, declaring that he would immediately leave the camp and set off.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's envoy left Gao Qiqian's military tent, General Zu Kuan pounced on him, knelt down and hugged Gao Qiqian's thighs and cried: "Gao Gonggong, the construction is powerful, and the field is fighting, you must not do it!" ”

The other generals also knelt on the ground and cried: "Gao Gonggong, there is no danger near Jiazhuang, as the saying goes, the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and it is invincible!" Now there are more than 100,000 people in the Jianshen army, and the number of our army is not as good as that of Jianxuan. How can you beat it? ”

Gao Qiqian said: "Governor Lu said that the total strength of Jianxuan is only more than 100,000 at most, and the maximum number of troops entering the army this time is 50,000, where are the more than 100,000 people?" ”

"Grandpa Gao, that's Governor Lu who wants to trap us!" Zu Kuan, who was famous for his bravery, burst into tears and cried with a big grin, "Governor Lu, if he doesn't talk about people less, who would dare to fight Jianxuan?" The last general and others have been in Liaoxi for a long time, where would they not know the details of Jianxi? If there were only such a few people, they would have been destroyed a long time ago, so why is there today! If nothing else, there were more than 100,000 men under Dolgon's own command. Among them, there are more than 50,000 white-armored soldiers! ”

Zu Kuan was crying, while observing Gao Qiqian, and seeing that Gao Qiqian was still a little hesitant, he continued to cry: "Gao Gonggong! Do you know that this Jianqi and the Rogue are two different things...... It's not that the last general and others are guts, it's really too powerful. Does Grandpa Gao know what a white armor soldier is? This white-armored soldier was originally a hunter in the deep mountains, and he grew up eating meat since he was a child, so he is physically strong, which is not comparable to those of us who grew up eating rice and noodles. They began to learn archery before they could speak, and now everyone can wear four layers of heavy armor, and the knife cannot be cut in, and the axe can not be injured. Everyone can stand on a horse and shoot arrows, using a strong bow of hundreds of loads, several catties each, and it weighs as much as an axe. A single arrow can pierce several layers of armor. They were good at archery, and they stood on horseback, two hundred paces away, and said to shoot you...... If you shoot the left eye of the general, you will not shoot the right eye of the general. Such soldiers, not one or two, but tens of thousands! At that time, Juniper Du Marshal was so good, the result was not killed by these animals with an arrow (before Xulsa sent out the army, Juniper's helmet was rusted in a place, so it was handed over to my Ming Ministry of Industry for repair, and my Ming Ministry learned the advanced experience of the famous Spanish ranger knight Don Quixote using cardboard to make helmets, replaced the rusty armor with cardboard, and then brushed a layer of paint and returned it to Juniper, and then in the war, Juniper was shot through the cardboard by an arrow, and died in the brain. ）…… This battle is really unfought......"

"Is this Jian Yan really so vicious?" Gao Qiqian seemed a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's true!" The generals of Liaoxi kneeling below all shouted.

"Father-in-law Gao, you don't know those cattle, they're not human! Back then, in Ningyuan, it was freezing cold, and the cattle took a hoe to dig the city wall of Ningyuan, and they dug a big hole more than a zhang deep in the city wall in just one night, if it weren't for the ...... Do you say it's human? ”

"Father-in-law Gao, after Kong Youde surrendered Jianxuan after killing him, they had cannons. We have a lot of artillery and we can't walk. Even if they are tens of thousands of catties of cannons, they can be dragged away by two or three white armors. Grandpa Gao, this battle can't be fought! ”

"And what about Governor Lu?" Raise the dive tunnel.

Zu Kuan saw that Gao Qiqian's attitude seemed to be loosened a little, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Gao, Governor Lu has a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals, if he can stop it, it will be too late for us to rush over." If Governor Lu can't stop us, we won't be able to do anything in the past......"

……

Lu Xiangsheng arrived at Jiazhuang on time with an army of less than 20,000 men, and then sent scouts to find out Jianxi's movements, and sent people to contact the Guanning army, which was responsible for defending his flank.

After a short time, the envoy reported that the Guan Ning army was still in the Jize camp and had not moved.

"Gonggong Gao said that there are many of them, and there are many things to do when the army is to move, and they still need some preparations, and they will not be able to pull out the camp for a while." The messenger replied:

Lu Xiangsheng listened to the report with a calm face and said, "Go and urge them again." ”

As soon as the envoy came out of the military tent, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei shouted together: "Your Excellency, these dog-called Guan Ning troops want to trap us again!" ”
