Lu Zhonglian's expression changed, as a veteran, he naturally knew the consequences of being a master of high merit. Worry appeared between his eyebrows. tentatively said:
"That'...... Why doesn't Hou Ye raise his own respect? ”
Luo Xinzhong was very satisfied with Lu Zhonglian's reaction, and only those who were loyal to him would say such things as "raising self-respect" to himself. But Luo Xin shook his head and said:
"It's a good idea, and it doesn't work for me. Your Majesty treats me as a literati and will not send me to guard the border gates. And no emperor would send a man he feared to guard the border. Since you can't go to the border to guard the border, how can you raise your own respect?
The most important thing is ......" Luo Xin sighed softly and said: "I can't tolerate the grassland tribes fighting the autumn valley at the border every year, killing and plundering the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Lu Zhonglian's eyes showed a look of respect, and he knelt on one knee and said, "Please give an order from Master Hou, Zhonglian will never give up." ”
Luo Xin looked at Lu Zhonglian for a while, and when he saw that Lu Zhonglian's gaze was always firm, he stretched out his hand to help Lu Zhonglian and said:
"Zhonglian, once I say this, your life and mine will be linked together. To die, we will die together. If you succeed at this time, I will ensure that your Lu family will be rich for the rest of your life. ”
"Master Xie."
Luo Xin pondered for a moment, his expression became serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "Since you can't raise your own respect, you have to beware of Your Majesty's cunning rabbit death and lackeys cooking." Then we have to leave a way back.
This back road is the grassland! ”
Lu Zhonglian's eyes lit up, and something thought of him in his heart.
"The grassland has actually been hit hard by me the year before last, and now Huang Taiji's attack on Daming is the last madness of the grassland tribes. Once I hit it hard again this time, the grassland will be greatly damaged, and there will be no ten or twenty years, and there will be no hope of recovery. So, this is an opportunity for us. An opportunity to turn the prairie into our backyard.
Once this project can be successful, it will be a help for me. On the one hand, it has the effect of raising self-respect. With the rising power of the grassland, Your Majesty will always have some scruples and will not have the heart to eradicate me. Because he always wants to keep a famous general who can fight well and defend his Zhu family.
On the other hand, I can also leave Daming at any time and enter the grassland. If it really comes to the day when His Majesty can't tolerate me, I will enter the grassland and establish a country on my own. ”
Lu Zhonglian not only did not have the slightest resistance in his heart, but became extremely excited. If Luo Xin finally came to the road of founding the country, then he Lu Zhonglian would be the founding general!
"Master Hou, what do you want Zhonglian to do? Zhonglian swore to do it. ”
"Zhonglian, do you know about Zhong Jin Hatun and me?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lu Zhonglian's face, of course he knew the relationship between Zhong Jin Hatun and Luo Xin, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only nod.
"I want you to secretly leave the capital with those twenty family generals, and then secretly go to see Zhongjin Hatun, Zhongjin Hatun should also be in Datong. After contacting her, let her immediately lead her people to secretly leave the grassland coalition army and return to the grassland. From what I know about her tribe, her tribe will not send more than two thousand troops, and her tribe is not large. So she secretly led the tribe to leave, and Huang Taiji might not know about it. Even when he knew that Zhong Jin Hatun was gone, he would not have thought that she had returned to the grassland, and would think that she had gone to the county and village to loot, or that she had been wiped out by Ma Fang's army.
You go to the grassland with Zhong Jin Hatun, and you will stay in the grassland to assist Zhong Jin Hatun in the future, and I will let Liang Dazhu continue to look for reliable veterans, and then send them to you. After the defeat of Huangtaiji, you must immediately assist Zhong Jinhatun to conquer other tribes in the grassland, I will give you continuous support, food and ordnance are not a problem, what you have to do is to take our Ming veterans as the backbone, form an army that belongs to us, and continue to conquer, even if you can't unify the grassland, you must become the largest tribe in the grassland. ”
Lu Zhonglian was silent for a while, and asked seriously, "Master Hou, Zhonglian wants to know who you and that one are?" ”
"You said Zhong Jin Hatun?"
"Yes!" Lu Zhonglian hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, this involves how his subordinates get along with her. ”
Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "She can also be regarded as your mistress." It's just that when people's rights are too great, and I am not in the grassland, if the checks and balances are lost, no one dares to predict the consequences. The grassland plan is very dangerous. All consequences must be anticipated in advance. Therefore, when you assist her, you must also have your own power, and only by making her aware of our power will she not have any other thoughts.
However, this is a measure that you need to take care of. ”
"My subordinates understand!"
"Now that you understand, today you will secretly leave the capital with those twenty people. I'll arrange for you to be scouts out of the city. ”
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"Before you leave, talk to the twenty generals one by one, and if there are people who don't want to go to the grassland, don't force them. Just leave them behind. ”
"Yes, Master Hou!"
"Go ahead and call Liang Dazhu in."
Looking at Lu Zhonglian's departing back, a hint of coldness appeared in Luo Xin's eyes. If there are really twenty generals who don't want to go to the grassland, it is impossible for Luo Xin to leave them as a hidden danger, once they leak the news and are known by Jinyiwei, Emperor Jiajing will immediately kill him Luo Xin. Therefore, once there were generals who didn't want to go to the grassland, Luo Xin had no choice but to be ruthless and kill them.
Datong.
Huang Taiji looked at the chaotic situation in the lobby and frowned slightly. Under the encouragement of his huge benefits, the tribes of the steppe finally united to attack the Ming Dynasty. And it was as smooth as he never imagined, and he captured Datong in one fell swoop. After capturing Datong, the road to the capital is a flat river.
However, it was precisely because of the smoothness that he never thought of that he did not achieve the result he wanted.
He wanted two results, one was to weaken the strength of the tribes of the steppe, in order to achieve his goal of unifying the steppe in the future. The other is looting, looting large quantities of supplies to alleviate the famine in the grasslands. He didn't think about taking the capital, killing Emperor Jiajing, killing Luo Xin and Luo Qing to avenge his father.
The slaughter of the country is just a slogan.
Now, however, both outcomes have been unexpected.
The first accident was because the attack on Datong was relatively smooth, and in such a smooth situation, although the tribes of the steppe had casualties at all, they were far from as large as Huang Taiji imagined. How will he defeat the tribes of the steppe and unify the steppe in the future?
The second surprise was that he could go straight to the capital, and he didn't expect such a result when he sent troops. Now that Datong has been captured, he can approach the capital with a single horse, which makes his mind come alive. If he can capture the capital, it is something that even his father Khan Alatan Khan has not done, maybe he will be able to completely overthrow the Ming Dynasty and become an emperor in this world of flowers.
