Chapter 70: White Noodles

Since the Liukou escaped from Shaanxi from the Han River that day, Hong Chengchou was responsible for pursuing Gao Yingxiang, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to besiege Zhang Xianzhong's department, and after Qin Liangyu entered Shaanxi from Hanzhong to pacify Shaanxi Yukou, Yang Su considered that Gao Yingxiang's department was strong and the real elite was the tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry under his command, and it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong's company camped for dozens of miles to attack Chuzhou, Anhui. Chuzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Nanjing, under the edict of Yang Su, he completely gave up the pursuit of the red lady, and secretly led the troops to the north, and Lu Xiangsheng led the general army Zu Kuan, guerrilla Luo Dai and other soldiers to aid Chuzhou, and the two armies fought with Zhang Xianzhong at the Wuli Bridge in the east of the city.

In the face of the forbidden army and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, the battalion was defeated, the battalion was defeated, retreated fifty miles to the north, and was beheaded more than 15,300 levels.

Coupled with Qin Liangyu's approach, Zhang Xianzhong was very afraid of Qin Liangyu's repeated defeats, and hurriedly led his defeated army to cross the Yangtze River north and re-transfer to Henan.

Zhang Xianzhong took a breath in Henan and forcibly recruited tens of thousands of people to fill the army, but in the face of the joint efforts of Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't get any cheap, and was beaten to the ground. was even more annoyed, and scolded the Ming army for not being a son of man. Gao Yingxiang had such a big goal in Hubei and Hong Chengchou fought vigorously, the two sides were evenly matched, Qin Liangyu did not support, but came to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng to encircle and suppress himself, isn't this bullying!

Especially recently, Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be crazy, he didn't give Zhang Xianzhong any time to react at all, and drove him to flee in all directions, and there were Gao Qiqian and Qin Liangyu eyeing him on the side, and if he was not careful, he was afraid that he would be defeated and captured!

In the end, Zhang Xianzhong, who had no escape, was furious, and secretly contacted Lao Hui Hui and Luo Rucai to converge in Luoyang, and gathered Zhang Xianzhong from Dengfeng, Lao Hui from Song County, and Luo Rucai from Jiaozuo to support 300,000 troops, and sent troops to attack Luoyang on three sides at the same time.

Qin Liangyu's brother, Qin Yiming, the commander-in-chief, led the army to defend Luoyang, and in the face of the siege of 300,000 rogues, he could only hold out, waiting for the army to rescue.

On the contrary, this made Lu Xiangsheng overjoyed, he was not afraid that the rogues would form a group and fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, so he would have a headache for them to divide their troops and wander around! What is there to fear from an army of 300,000! Lu Xiangsheng had 20,000 Tianxiong troops under his command, 20,000 forbidden troops under Gao Qiqian, and Qin Liangyu had 30,000 white pole soldiers, totaling 70,000 people.

At that time, Lu Xiangsheng played Chen Yun's salary, the mountains stretched, and the wanderers haunted for no reason. Where Chonggang steep mountains, dense deep forests, wrench wood cliffs, travel thirty or forty miles a day, horses can not enter, people suffer to climb. At this time, the silver is useless, the grain of the true color can not be transported, the cart and donkey have nothing to do, it is bound to bear three stones of rice with people, with the soldiers, a liter of eclipse, a supply to the soldiers, a self-support, ten days and three stones of food is exhausted, not to mention the thief within ten days! And with thousands of soldiers into the thousands of shoulders, 10,000 soldiers into the 10,000 shoulders, grain with soldiers, in less than ten days and all to the end.

An army of 70,000 plus more than 100,000 auxiliaries marched through the mountains and mountains, and the localities along the way simply could not afford so many military supplies. In addition, there are war horses in the army, and the daily consumption of food is an astronomical amount, and relying on manpower transportation alone is a drop in the bucket.

Yang Su was shocked to hear this, Yuan Shen personally rushed to the front line, at this time the army was cut off for three days, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu and other generals also ran out of food with the soldiers, so the army had no complaints, and no one fled.

"Yang Gong, our family is looking forward to the stars and the moon is finally looking forward to you, if you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!" Gao Qi picked up Yang Su outside the barracks, and complained to Yang Su as soon as they met.

"Grandpa Gao has suffered, and His Majesty already knows Grandpa Gao's loyalty! Before leaving, he praised Gao Gonggong in front of me! ”

"Our family has thanked Yang Gong for his kind words!" Gao Qiqian smiled overjoyed. "Yang Gong, please follow me into the camp, Lord Lu and Qin Shaobao are both discussing countermeasures in the big tent at this time!"

Waiting until in front of the big tent, Gao Qiqian personally opened the tent for Yang Su, and said to Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, "Lord Lu, Qin Shaobao, this is the angel Yang Gong sent by the emperor to solve the danger of my army!" ”

"Is the angel coming to relieve the danger of this official by holy order?" Inside the big tent, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Su suspiciously and asked.

Qin Liangyu also raised his head in surprise and looked at Yang Su.

"Exactly, the emperor heard that Lord Lu's army has run out of food, so he specially ordered me to come and provide food for Lord Lu!" Yang Sudao.

Lu Xiangsheng strode forward and asked, "Dare to ask where the angel food is?" ”

"It's on me!" Yang Su pointed at himself and smiled.

"Isn't the angel joking with you?" Lu Xiangsheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.

"The military situation is urgent, the emperor is anxious when he hears that the army is running out of food, how can I joke with you, my lord!" Yang Su shook his head: "Please also ask the adults to come out of the account, choose an empty land, and I will transport the grain!" ”

"Okay, angel here, please!" Lu Xiangsheng immediately took Yang Su out of the big tent, and Qin Liangyu and Gao Qiqian also hurriedly followed.

Even when repairing during the rapid march, Lu Xiangsheng also arranged for the soldiers to camp. At this time, the army was heavily guarded, and there were soldiers everywhere who were dressed in stubbornness and full of solemn faces. Except for the sound of the neat steps of the patrol soldiers and the clanging of the armor, the whole camp was very quiet.

"Angel, what do you think of this schoolyard?" Lu Xiangsheng led Yang Su to a school field in the camp, at this time, many soldiers who were lying listless and resting on the side approached one after another, and respectfully saluted Lu Xiangsheng, at this time the army had been out of food for three days, but the sergeant had no reason, there was no doubt that Lu Xiangsheng's prestige in the army was extremely high. This is inseparable from his compassion for the soldiers on weekdays, and he is also inseparable from the lack of food this time.

"This is it!" Yang Su nodded.

Under the eyes of everyone who were surprised or suspicious, he waved his hand. Suddenly, a mountain of delicate sacks appeared on the ground.

Yang Su pointed to the hill and said, "It's all grain!" Lord Lu to see if it is enough for the army? ”

Lu Xiangsheng asked the soldiers around him to come forward to check.

Several pro-soldiers stepped forward quickly, tore down a bag of grain with their hands, cut open the bag with a knife, grabbed the white noodles in the bag, widened their eyes in surprise, and shouted: "White noodles!" Adults, these are white noodles! ”

Lu Xiangsheng showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately shouted to the left and right: "Go and make a fire to cook!" Let the soldiers have a full meal! You can inform the whole army of this news, and the emperor will send us food, let's eat white noodles tonight! ”

At this moment, the originally quiet military camp suddenly became noisy, and the soldiers who were originally a little demoralized heard that the emperor sent someone to send food, and it was all good white noodles, they rushed from all over the camp, looking at the food that had been moved out to be used for cooking, and the soldiers of the whole army were in surprise at this moment.
