Seeing that the people of Liaodong below were whispering, whispering to those who had forgotten their ancestors, Lu Xiangsheng was a little difficult to open his mouth, hesitated for a while, and finally continued: "This official has a very important thing to do, wait and listen!" ”

As soon as they heard this, all the people fell silent, and they were a little curious about what important thing the governor of Denglai was going to announce.

"The soldiers and horses led by this official are limited, and they are not enough to hold Liaoyang. Evacuation soon! When Lu Xiangsheng said this, he saw that the faces of the Liaoyang people below suddenly changed one by one, revealing a look of fear, so he didn't stop at all, and continued to say loudly, "But don't worry, this official has already made arrangements for you!" ”

Hearing this, the people of Liaoyang, who were a little panicked, finally suppressed their panic, but they still looked at Governor Denglai very worriedly. For them, they finally have the hope of a good day, but in a blink of an eye, this good day will not be there, and the mood of falling together really makes their feelings fluctuate a little violently.

Lu Xiangsheng's face was very serious, if there was hope, of course he didn't want to give up immediately after recovering Liaoyang. It's just that I can't do it, and there's nothing I can do. I only heard him say seriously: "If you don't want to be enslaved by Jianlu anymore, you can go to Dongjiang, as long as you escape to the island, Jianlu will be helpless against you." The emperor was also prepared, requisitioning grain from the Nanyang countries, and sending grain to the Dongjiang River thousands of miles away. As the governor of Denglai, this official can also give you a guarantee here. As long as the official has a bite to eat, there will be a bite for you! ”

"If you don't want to leave and want to stay in Liaoyang, this official will not be reluctant. It's just that after Jianyu comes back, what will they do to you, this official can't say! Although Lu Xiangsheng said this, with his understanding, he was afraid that Jianyu would take revenge on the people who stayed in Liaoyang.

When he said this, he saw that the people of Liaoyang below were all looking at each other one by one, with frightened faces, and many of them even shook their heads directly. Obviously, they also understand the situation of staying in Liaoyang.

Lu Xiangsheng paused slightly, giving them time to think about it, and then said loudly: "This official knows that it is not so easy to escape to the Dongjiang River and escape a way out. It is very likely that on the way to escape to the Dongjiang River, he will be caught up by Jianyu. But rest assured, this official will do his best to attract the Jianju and prevent them from having time to hunt you down! ”

Hearing this, the people below immediately discussed: "What, aren't we going with Lord Zhongcheng?" ”

"Without the protection of the army, how can we go on the road?"

“……”

Obviously, many people are worried when they know that they are going to go alone. But there were also some people who thought about it more, and immediately responded to them in a low voice: "How many people do you fancy Cheng Da talent, if you go together, Jianyu will definitely chase after you, and we don't have horses, can we escape?" ”

"That's right, if there are enough people, Lord Zhongcheng won't leave. You don't want to think about it, Lord Zhongcheng has said, even such a high city wall in Liaoyang can't be guarded, do you think that when you are on the road, you will be caught up by Jianyu, and Lord Zhongcheng and we still have a way to live? ”

“……”

In addition to these remarks, there are also people who treat others with their own lives and have dark thoughts: "Where will there be officials who will take risks and let us ordinary people escape safely?" ”

"That's right, maybe we attracted the attention of Jianyu, and then Lord Zhongcheng sneaked back with his people!"

“……”

All kinds of remarks were sandwiched together, and although everyone was whispering in a low voice, there were so many people that there was a "buzzing" sound in the square.

Wei Mulan stood beside Lu Xiangsheng, watching the people of Liaoyang below whispering, either someone was a little louder, or that person was hiding in the crowd, it was deliberate, and the last kind of remarks were a little louder, which was heard by Wei Mulan.

As the liaison between Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng, Wei Mulan naturally knew the whole plan. At this time, when I heard that some people were suspicious of Lu Zhongcheng's words, they felt that Lu Zhongcheng wanted to use them to attract the attention of Jianyu, so that he could safely withdraw to the Dongjiang River.

This kind of remark made Wei Mulan, who has always been more good-tempered, blushing with anger, her eyes were aimed at the place where the voice came from, and she wanted to find out the person who spoke and ask him if he still had a conscience.

However, Lu Xiangsheng noticed her abnormality, reached out and patted her shoulder, and then shook his head slightly at Wei Mulan, who was looking at him. It's intelligible with these people, anyway, with a clear conscience, in the coming days, they will naturally understand what the truth is!

Sometimes, the common people are like this, a little bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, you are fierce to him, he obeys you, you are good to him, he kicks his nose in the face. This kind of thing, in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, there was an extreme example, which made people sigh when they saw that history.

In the original history, Li Dingguo led the army south, and in the battle to conquer Xinhui, the gateway to Guangzhou, the people of Xinhui thought that if they helped Li Dingguo, the Manchus would definitely slaughter the city when they returned; And if you help the Manchus defend the city, even if Li Dingguo captures Xinhui, because he is merciful, he will not do anything to them. As a result, a scene of "singing and crying" was staged to help the Manchus defend the city. Li Dingguo's elite soldiers and horses were finally killed here, and they were no longer able to recover Guangdong and assist Nanming.

Today's Lu Xiangsheng is not as merciful as Li Dingguo, after all, he was born in the civil class, and in the original history, he didn't know how many thieves he killed, so he had the nickname of King Lu Yan. At this time, although he stopped Wei Mulan, he didn't explain, but just said loudly: "If you are willing to go to the Dongjiang River, go and pack your things and get ready when you go home, and you will be notified to leave in the next two days." ”

With that, he strode away. When Liu Xingzhi on the side saw it, he ordered loudly instead of Lu Xiangsheng: "Wait for you to clean up at home, whether you go or stay, and make your own choice." Martial law continues in the city, and there are those who dare to walk indiscriminately with military law! ”

Wei Mulan didn't care about this, and went straight to Lu Xiangsheng, and said angrily: "Lord Zhongcheng, those villains, they should be pulled out!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned his head to Wei Mulan and smiled slightly: "Didn't you say villain?" It doesn't affect major events, so why bother with such people! ”

Between the words, it's as if it's dust, just play it, don't care at all!

When Wei Mulan heard this, she thought about it, then smiled, nodded, and was about to say something, when she suddenly froze there.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng saw her action, he knew that he was afraid that the emperor would have something to convey, so he also stood still and waited for Wei Mulan to speak.
