Lu Xiangsheng, a native of Yixing, Changzhou, in the south of the Ming Dynasty, the word Jiandou, the number nine Taiwan. Han nationality, a famous general and national hero in the late Ming Dynasty. His grandfather was a magistrate, and his father was a showman.

When he was young, he devoted himself to history, and in the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), he was a jinshi, and later served as the prefect of the daimyo. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the Houjin army entered the customs and forced the Beijing division (now BJ He recruited 10,000 soldiers to guard. In the following year, he entered the right to participate in politics and was ordered to rectify the military garrison of the three prefectures of Daimyo (now HB Guangping (now HB Yongnian) and Shunde (now HB Xingtai), and the department was known as the "Tianxiong Army".

Since the sixth year of Chongzhen, he began to participate in the suppression of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other peasant rebels.

He is good at commanding, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, and charging into battle together. The soldiers were willing to serve him to the death, and the peasant army called Lu Xiang promoted to "King Lu Yan", and quickly avoided him as soon as they met him. In September of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Xuanda and trained troops to the Qing Dynasty.

In November of the 11th year of Chongzhen (January 1639), he was killed in a fierce battle with the Qing army in Julu (now HB). When Chinese New Year's Eve was nine years old, he posthumously presented the military department with a book, and the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously praised "Loyal Martyrs" and the Qing Dynasty posthumously "Loyal Su".

A middle-aged scribe walked in, wearing a blue gown, a square scarf on his head, and cloth shoes on his feet, with a slender figure, polite and polite eyebrows, and a righteous face.

He glanced at Lu Xiangsheng with concern, and said softly: "My lord, don't work too hard, but pay attention to rest, don't get tired, the rogues in the Central Plains are still waiting for you to encircle and suppress." ”

This middle-aged scribe was Yang Tinglin, Lu Xiangsheng's aide.

Yang Tinglin, a native of JX Qingjiang, was a hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. The word Boxiang, Chongzhen four years of Jinshi, its character diligent study good ancient, famous Hanlin, and Huang Daozhou, Ni Hongbao and the article section of the famous world, called "three Hanlin". In 1646, the Qing soldiers fell into the city and went to the water to die.

Tinglin once reprimanded the ministers of the court who were in peace. Yang Sichang hated him, lied that Tinglin knew the army, and reassigned the head of the military department to Lu Xiang's promotion to the army.

Xiang Sheng and Tinglin hit it off at first sight, and immediately ordered Tinglin to supervise the transportation of military rations.

"Tinglin, I'm fine, I'm strong." Lu Xiangsheng said, stood up, and moved his hands and feet a few times.

"My lord, according to the detective horse, the Liukou Gao Yingxiang Department is now gathering in the area of Lushan and Nanzhao Mountain in Dengfeng." Yang Tinglin said and handed over a report to the past.

"Oh? Is it? Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly took the report and looked at it.

The peasant army led by Gao Yingxiang has long been fighting in SXNXGSSXHNAH and other places. Because the peasant army led by him was the strongest, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

After reading the report, he said: "General Zukuan came to listen to the order. ”

"Yes." The herald agreed and went out.

Soon Zu Kuan led 3,000 Guanning troops as the vanguard, and Lu Xiangsheng himself led the Tianxiong army to follow, and the whole army went straight to Lushan and Nanzhao.

Zu Kuan led 3,000 Guan Ning soldiers and set off to Lushan. Hearing that they were going to launch an attack on Gao Yingxiang's rogues, the Guanning soldiers were gearing up, and the fighting mood was extremely high. A day later, Guan Ning's army came to a place 10 miles away from Lushan, and reported to Gao Yingxiang's troops that they set up camp in the mountain col in front.

After Zu Kuan heard this, he immediately reported to Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng gave the troops an order to march quickly.

On the same day, the 3,000 men of the Guan Ning Army were ranked, and the horses were hoofed, and by the starlight, they came to the vicinity and saw a large area of the camp tent of Gao Yingxiang's team, but there was no movement at all, as if they had fallen asleep.

With a wave of his hand, Zu Kuan led the cavalry like a tiger descending the mountain, broke through Gao Yingxiang's forward position, and shouted into his camp.

There was a scream of "ahh

Gao Yingxiang woke up from his dream, heard the sound of fighting outside the tent, he couldn't imagine that Lu Xiangsheng came so quickly, hurriedly got up, put on armor, and commanded his men to resist desperately.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, Gao Yingxiang was flustered, and gradually couldn't parry, so he had to avoid Lu Xiangsheng, and Chuang Tian, Scorpion Block and others took advantage of the night to retreat to SX Xing'an and Hanzhong areas.

After dawn, cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Gao Yingxiang's rogue, and then escorted the captured rogue, and left with the wounded soldiers.

A few days later, several scouts came to report to Lu Xiangsheng in a hurry, and the traces of Gao Yingxiang's rogue were detected.

"What, the thief Gao Yingxiang retreated SX Lu Xiangsheng asked in surprise.

Because he knew that Sun Chuanting, the governor of SX, was an official with strong military and political ability, and the combat power of the Qin army under his command was also very good, Gao Yingxiang chose to retreat into SX purely to find a desperate way.

"That's true, it's confirmed by our army's spies tracking into SX." Chen Yonggui, the head of the scouts, said.

Chen Yonggui is 50 years old, cautious and careful, alert, and has risen step by step from ordinary night non-harvesting, and is now a five-grade thousand-hundred-year-old household.

"God help me! God help me! Lu Xiangsheng said happily.

Although he is a scholar, he is good at using soldiers and is familiar with the strategies of using soldiers. Confirming the news of Gao Bu's entry into the Xing'an and Hanzhong regions, he knew that a rare opportunity to eliminate Gao Yingxiang had arrived

In May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng held a military conference in western Henan.

The tent was full of civil and military officers from the five provinces of Huguang and SC in HBHNSD, including governors, general soldiers, staff generals, guerrilla generals, and commanders.

After looking at the generals seriously, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Generals, the Liukou Gao Yingxiang Division, the Collapse of the Sky, the Scorpion Block and other Liukou have entered SX Xing'an (now the area around Hanzhong in SXAK City...... There are 90 thieves in the canal, and the thieves are the strongest. The first thief was arrested, and the remaining thieves were not enough to be leveled. To that end, I ordered ......" At this point, he deliberately paused.

Glancing at the generals, seeing that everyone was listening carefully, he said: "I ordered the Central Plains officers and troops to gather in the western part of Henan, blocking Gao Yingxiang's road from the SX east out of the Central Plains, forming a trend of closing the door and beating the dogs, SX Governor Sun Chuanting and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou are responsible for encircling and suppressing Gao Yingxiang's main force, and the local officials ensure the supply of food and grass for the encirclement and suppression army. After speaking, his expression was stern, and with a "poof" sound, he drew out a cold and shining sword and swung it, and a table corner fell to the ground with a "click".

"Obey the commander's orders." Everyone's hearts sank, and they hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and went out to make preparations.

Under Lu Xiangsheng's arrangement, the Central Plains officers and troops took action and built a defensive line in the Luoyang area of western Henan Province in a busy and tense manner

SX Governor Sun Chuanting has learned that Gao Bu was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng and his vitality was greatly damaged.

He knew that the most powerful rogues were Gao Yingxiang's department, as long as Gao Yingxiang was eliminated, he could deter other rogues, capture the thief and capture the king first, and after receiving the order, Sun Chuanting began to transfer troops and send generals, and he was determined to take this opportunity to destroy Gao Yingxiang.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, also led troops to surround him.

When the big war came, the situation in SX suddenly became tense, and the military operation to encircle and annihilate Gao Yingxiang began......

After being defeated by Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Yingxiang fled into the Yunyang Mountains of HB, and in order to avoid Lu's pursuit, he fled to SX Xing'an and Hanzhong.

Gao Yingxiang's headquarters was set up in a cave in a mountain col in Hanzhong, which was covered with hay and had more than a dozen guards at the entrance of the cave. Since this is the headquarters, it is also the bedroom of him and the leaders of the rogue such as Breaking the Sky and the Scorpion Block.

At noon, there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the fiery sun scorched the earth, the water in the river was hot, and the soil in the field was smoking. In the summer, the weather is as hot as a steamer.

"It's so hot. Fortunately, there is this cave to cool off. "Scorpion Block sat at the mouth of a cave, talking and drinking water.

The name of the scorpion block is Tuoyangkun, SX Qingjian people. He was a general of the fourth team of Gao Yingxiang's department, and was later included in the 36th battalion. Later, he and Li Zicheng and others jointly attacked Jingyang and Sanyuan, suffered successive setbacks, and once fell to Sun Chuanting, and soon rose again, and died in a fierce battle in Hangu.

Tuoyangkun is dark and fat, with a round head and a round head, and a simple appearance, but a pair of small eyes always shine with a cunning light that does not match his appearance.

"I wonder if King Luyan knows we're here?" Gao Yingxiang said, looking thoughtfully at the mountains in the distance.

Hanzhong was the territory of Sun Chuanting, the governor of SX, and he had discovered that Gao Yingxiang's rogue army was hiding there.

"The thief is now in great disadvantage, and he has come to our SX again, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and we can't let him escape again. General Luo, this time we must catch the thief. Sun Chuanting stood in front of the map and said to Deputy General Luo Shangwen.

Luo Shangwen nodded and said, "Whatever the big marshal says, I will fight." ”

After the two discussed, they led more than 10,000 Qin soldiers to Xing'an and Hanzhong to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang's troops.

A few days later, the two sides finally met, and without saying a word, they immediately started fighting.

Although the Qin soldiers are few, only more than 20,000 people, but they are extremely strong and dare to fight, although Gao Yingxiang and the collapse of the sky, the scorpion block and other departments are more than the Qin soldiers, but there is no way to take the other side, both sides are bent on destroying each other, you advance and I retreat, stabbing with guns, slashing, fighting inextricably, fierce battles for a day, I don't know how many soldiers fell, the peasant soldiers were torn open a few holes, the Qin army pressed step by step, seeing that the wrong way, the peasant army had to retreat in a hurry.

"Kill! ......" a standard of people suddenly arrived.
