Chapter 105: Scarlet Dawn

"Hooray!" Lulu had a pout, kneeling on the deck, facing north, sobbing and communicating. "The old minister is incompetent, he has lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he has to live long live you are worried about the old minister. Old minister-woo-woo-sin deserves death--woo--woo---woo--woo- ”

"Huh?!" Yue Kuo Cha'er was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile and shake her head, "Okay, I said Lao Lu!" It's thousands of miles away from the capital! You are crying here, how can the emperor see it. Hurry up, hurry up. It's windy on the river, be careful if you blow your body! ”

"Woo-woo-" Lulu refused to listen to him at all, but just knelt on the deck and howled. It was as if he was going to cry out all the fright and grievances he had received in the past few days.

"You are all dead, hurry up and prop the boat to the shore and help the old man up for me!" Yuekuochaer was annoyed by his crying, so she simply turned her head to the servants and men on the ship. glared at the latter and shouted loudly.

"Yes, this is the row, this is the row!" Chen Xiaoer, the leader of the guys, shrank his neck in fright, quickly propped up the penny, and docked Lu Luzeng's boat. The faithful servants of the four Lu mansions shook their arms and raised their thighs. With the help of the guys who supported the boat, it took a lot of effort to finally get Old Master Lu ashore. Lifted onto the back of a temporarily vacated steed, and let him walk with Yuekuochaer.

Seeing that Lu Luzeng was still crying breathlessly, Yue Kuo Cha'er smiled and decided to make a ruthless move. "I said Lao Lu, don't cry yet! Let's think about it, how to explain the reason for the failure of this battle? I heard from friends in the capital that there are many people who are persuading the emperor to cut off your head! ”

"Woo-!" Like horse manure being blocked, Lu Luzeng's crying stopped abruptly. Emperor Mengyuan issued an order to Yue Kuocha'er, so that he must be brought back, and he must see people alive and corpses when he dies. I didn't say that I forgave him for the crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country. And in terms of the total number of troops lost, his defeat was far worse than any defeat of the imperial court in the past ten years. It's not an exaggeration to be sentenced to a raid!

The only solution is to promote the recruitment of Xuzhou red scarves, and the credit will be overpaid. And Yue Kuo Cha'er's army has already arrived at the Yellow River crossing soon, even if it is slow, it is only a day and a half away from Xuzhou at best, and it is more difficult to let him stop the army at this moment!

was thinking blankly, but heard Yue Kuo Cha'er sneering and saying, "Lao Lu, I didn't say you. You are a civil official, what are you doing with this bandit?! 30,000 dices of salt, which sounds like a lot of people. But what's the difference with 30,000 sheep?! Take them to levy the big coward like Sesame Lee, from the beginning, aren't you just looking for it to be sent to death?! ”

"This-?" Lu Lu once snorted in pain, and his heart was like numbness. When the Huainan Army was formed at the beginning, he also felt that the imperial court's move was inconsiderate. However, why didn't the man take Wu Hook's ambition, and he pulled the team up with a hard head, and approached Xuzhou step by step. Now that it has been a little bit of a month, it has come to the fore, and I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter.

"You're a civil official. But the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the truth of grain and grass first, you should always understand, right?! That's what you Han Chinese wrote in the book, not what we Mongolians say! The voice of Yuekotsa continued to come from his ears, devouring his heart like a poisonous snake. You go to Huainan to recruit Yanding into an army, grain and grass, baggage, military salary, these three things, is anyone to do for you? In that poor place in Huainan, the court doesn't give you money and food, why do you let Yanding work hard for you?! People also have a lot of wives and children, who cares if they die?! ”

"This-?" Lu Lu had continued to suffer in pain, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. Even Yue Kuocha'er, a pig-like reckless man, could see the trap, and he actually got into it as soon as he could. Lu Lu Zeng, Lu Lu Zeng, have you lived to be a dog at a very old age?!

"Let's go!? There are some things that we will talk about after the two brothers set up camp! Secretly looking at Lu Luzeng's face, Yue Kuocha'er added very "considerately".

He was short and fat, and he spoke and behaved like a stupid pig. In fact, this person is unusually scheming. From the first time he saw Lu Luzeng, he had already figured out how to tie the latter to his horse's tail. Therefore, every word that comes out is not without purpose.

Why was Lu Luzeng sent to organize the salt dings? The specific reason is in the circle of the top nobles of Mengyuan, almost everyone knows it! But not everyone is like Tokhtar, wishing that Lulu had died early. Zhongshu added Youcheng Hama, Hama's younger brother Xuexue, and Yuan Saiyin, who supervised the imperial history, and others, and secretly lobbied around Emperor Mengyuan Tuhuan Timur to persuade him to handle this matter carefully.

When he was a child, Timur witnessed the death of his mother at the hands of powerful ministers, and after succeeding to the throne, he was manipulated by Boyan for many years. Therefore, I am most afraid of losing power. At present, one of the Tokhtar brothers is in the center, and the other is leading the army outside, and there is already a faint trend of the second Boyan family. Therefore, while relying on the Tokhtar brothers, Tuhuan Timur also quietly supported Hama, Xuexue, Yuekuo Chaer and others, trying to make the latter compete with the former.

Therefore, in line with the principle that what political opponents want to do, I must oppose. Yue Kuo Cha'er didn't want Lu Lu Zeng to die lightly. In addition, although Lu Luzeng, a Hanchen, had limited influence in the court, he had a reputation for being upright and outspoken. Pull him to his side, and if you want to deal with Tokhtar in the future, this person is the best choice to jump out and light the fire. If you lose to Hama, Xuexue, and Yuekuochaer, your faction will not hurt your muscles and bones, and if you are lucky enough to bite the key point, you can knock over the Tomoku and Timur brothers to the ground once and for all, and never want to turn over again!

At this moment, Lu Lu was in a state of turmoil, where did he think that the pig-like Yue Kuo Cha'er was trying to tie himself to the chariot of his faction?! Riding on a horse, walking in despair, while walking, he kept wiping his tears and sighing, until he finally recovered a little bit of spirit when he camped for dinner at noon, and tried to discuss with Yue Kuochaer the possibility of recruiting the Xuzhou Red Turban Army!

Yue Kuo Cha'er was munching on a piece of lamb back meat with a knife, and when she heard Lu Luzeng's hint, she was so frightened that she suddenly shuddered, and almost stabbed the tip of the knife directly into her throat! "I said Lao Lu, you weren't scared and confused! The red turban thief arrested you, but he pitifully asked you to help him play in the court, and was willing to accept Zhao'an. Isn't this a blatant plan to use you to delay the war?!! ”

"No, it's not a delaying tactic!" Lu Luzeng's face turned red all of a sudden, and he shook his head in denial, "They are very sincere, and they have won two great victories in a row, and they have taken the initiative to release the captured officers and soldiers. It's obviously leaving a way out for yourself. In addition, Fang Guozhen captured Duo'er only class back then, didn't he do the same? I remember that the court immediately agreed to him and repeatedly forgave him for his treachery! ”

"Fang Guozhen is Fang Guozhen, and Sesame Plum is Sesame Plum!" Yue Kuo Cha'er pulled out the knife from the mutton, and slowly responded with the tip of the knife picking at his teeth.

"What's the difference?" At this moment, Lu Lu Zeng did not have a single soldier in his hands, so he could only patiently ask the other party for advice.

"Isn't that obvious? There are too many people under Sesame Li, more than ten times that of Fang Guozhen! Yue Kuo Cha'er gave him a blank look, and he didn't explain angrily. No matter how perfidy Fang Guozhen is, all he can affect is a county. And if the sesame Li wings are stiffened, the erosion will be half of Henan Jiangbei Province! ”

"Uhhhh Lulu was choked and speechless for a long time. Sesame Li's strength is too great, so he was recruited, and the imperial court couldn't rest assured. Unlike Fang Guozhen, there are thousands of pirates under his command, no matter how much he tosses, he can't become much of a climate.

The truth is this truth, as a famous Jinshi under the Chongtian Sect, Lu Lu once understood it at all. But if he didn't promote Sesame Lee's recruitment, he wouldn't be able to clear his guilt. Besides, if you can firmly grasp the Xuzhou red scarf in your hands, Hanchen will be much more confident in speaking in the court in the future. Whether it is the Tokhor faction or the Hama faction, they will no longer treat everyone as an ornament.

Thinking of that bright and beautiful future, Lu Lu gritted his teeth and continued to make his last effort, "Zhao Junyong, the chief historian under the command of Sesame Li, promised the old man that if the imperial court recruited them like Fang Guozhen, they were willing to attack the Yingzhou Red Turban for the imperial court." In addition, anyone who runs for them, they will give half of what they have earned in Xuzhou in the past six months. Never dare to let everyone do favors for him in vain! ”

"Shhh When Yue Kuocha'er heard this, her eyes immediately brightened. Xuzhou is close to the canal, not to mention the money copied from Daru Huachi and other officials' mansions when the city was broken, it will not be too small a lot just by counting the income from the card fees set up on the canal in the past six months. However, just a short moment later, his eyes dimmed again, smiled, shook his head and said, "Alas, Lao Lu, there is such a good thing, why didn't you tell my brother earlier?!" Now that my brother and I are about to go to the edge of the Yellow River, isn't it too late for you to persuade my brother to put the knife back into the sheath? ”

"This-?!" Lu Lu thought for a moment and nodded with a red face, "It's a little late." But if you can surrender the army without a fight, won't it be more peaceful and brave and prestige? ”

"It's not a question of whether it's a song or not!" Yue Kuo Cha'er threw the knife in front of him and entered the case. "I'll tell you the truth, old Lu, brother, I really can't help you with this! You put yourself in my position and think about it, the soldiers and horses have arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, but they are still unable to move forward for an uncertain invitation to recruit peace. In case that Sesame Plum doesn't admit it later, who can afford to miss the responsibility of the fighter?! ”

Seeing that Lu Lu had been asked like a dead face, he smiled, and he continued to pout his lips and added: "Besides, I am now strong in my hands, and the morale of my brothers is like a rainbow. That sesame Li fought two battles in a row, and the veteran soldiers were tired. Obviously, a few steps forward is at your fingertips, brother, why should I take the risk of waiting for you to go back and get some tricks?! In case the imperial court is unwilling to recruit these red turban thieves, you will come and go for at least half a month. In the past half a month, Sesame Li has already relieved his breath. If I cross the river to fight him, how can I still win the easy way like now?! ”

A series of questions made Lu Lu Zeng sweat and couldn't say half a word anymore! Seeing this, Yue Kuo Cha'er suddenly stretched out an arm, hugged Lu Lu Zeng under his armpit, and said in his heart: "Old Lu, brother, I know that you need a merit to protect yourself. With the friendship between the two of us for many years, brother, I can't watch you being killed by others. So stay in our army, and don't go anywhere. When Xuzhou is defeated, I will share the credit with you. said that you used Zhao'an's means to paralyze Sesame Li, so I was able to kill Xuzhou City. You say, brother, am I righteous or not?! ”

Paralysis? If Sesame Li really wanted to seek Zhao'an, he would never have expected that as soon as he left on his front foot, the army of the imperial court would be killed in Xuzhou City! Thinking of Zhao Jun's eager face last night, and then thinking of the kindness he received after being captured, Lu Lu felt very sad in his heart.

However, as a loyal minister of the imperial court, it is impossible for him to send someone to report to the Xuzhou army, so that the latter can quickly prepare for battle. It is even more impossible to risk completely offending Yue Kuocha'er's faction and fight with the latter. After thinking about it, he finally let out a long sigh. I crumpled the music I had been driving all night yesterday into a ball and threw it into the fire.

After lunch, he continued to follow Yuekuo Cha'er south in despair. In the evening, we arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River again. The Xuzhou Red Turban soldier guarding the ferry was obviously beaten off guard. After a little resistance, he abandoned the pontoon bridge and fled.

Yue Kuo Cha'er understood the truth of the noble gods, and immediately dispatched 10,000 Goryeo servants and horses, risking being attacked by the Xuzhou Red Turban. Rushed from the pontoon bridge to the south bank of the Yellow River and established a solid position. Immediately, he divided his 10,000 Mongol cavalry into two waves, and one wave crossed the river to strengthen the defense. lest Sesame Plum come and grab the pontoon bridge at night. The other half, together with the remaining more than 10,000 Goryeo servants, was stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River to protect the grain and grass on the big ship. Just wait for tomorrow after sunrise, cross the bridge and continue to advance to Xuzhou City.

After the arrangement was made, it was completely dark. Yuekuo Cha'er set up a banquet in the Chinese military tent on the north shore to wash the dust for his old friend Lu Luzeng. Lu Lu once felt sorry for the Xuzhou red scarf, and after only two rounds of drinking, he was drunk into a mess of mud. It is not known when the banquet will end and how he left the Chinese army's big tent.

At dawn, he had a nightmare. I dreamed that I broke through Xuzhou City together with Toto, Yuekuo Cha'er and others. The 80,000 soldiers in the city, as well as more than 100,000 residents, men, women, and children, were killed. The hot and thick human blood flowed out along the city gate and into the rolling Yellow River. Later, the entire Yellow River water turned into a blood-like color, burning, burning, burning between heaven and earth, a dazzling red!

The heavenly court was on fire, and the immortals were busy. The tragedy in the world, they can't take care of it, and they don't have the ability to manage it!
