Xie Shence read the information obtained by the iron guard at the risk of death, and then put it on the table and said, "Let's take a look." ”

King Li Yan was the first to pick up the letter, and soon after that, he changed color, and handed the letter to Xiao Wang in shock, and after Xiao Wang read it, he handed it to Ren Zhongxing and others.

At this time, the people who were able to participate in this meeting were basically loyal followers in Huaxia City who had been confirmed to be correct, including Xie Shence's own team, horse bandits led by the west wind, generals of the rout army who went south, elders among the displaced people, and even some desperate scholars.

These people are now either generals of the Iron Banner Army, or officials at all levels in Huaxia City, or gentlemen who teach the few children in the city to study, and their identities may be different on weekdays, but they are not superior at this time.

After a year of development, Huaxia City now has tens of thousands of people, the army and systems at all levels have formed a scale system, and a large number of talents have been discovered and shined in this new small group.

Under Xie Shence's advocacy, the official character is high, but the status is not much different, you are a general, and you can't punish soldiers at will, you are a gentleman, you beat my baby, I think it's unfair, so I dare to make a fuss. It's hard to form a habit at the beginning of such a thing, and after getting used to it, no one listens to someone who comes out to talk about the old thing.

The power of habit is huge, but the most important thing is the set that Xie Shence said.

You are a general, and the soldiers you bring out can't fight, so sooner or later you will become a rout again, and you will also be the target of slaughter, and next time, the chance of escape is slim.

You are a teacher, and the students you teach will only shake their heads and read dead books, so you can't get ahead in Huaxia City, and if you don't have excellent disciples to contribute to this city, you will fail. The students you teach are lawless, and sooner or later, you will be overturned by them.

The one who has the power cannot use it correctly and sooner or later will be overthrown by those who have given him power.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Under such a premise, everyone is required to give full play to their abilities, and everyone has the right to speak.

So the daily rest time of Huaxia City is the noisiest of the day. Because everyone will talk loudly to the people around them, saying that this is good and that is not good, and then there will be people who refute it, and all kinds of arguments do not have to be won or lost, in short, to be able to get things done.

At the beginning, of course, there will be anger, and even hands-on theories, there is no shortage of direct confrontation with knives, and there are even those who pull relationships and ask for a convenient door, but with the appearance of a black-clothed and black-armored law enforcement officer, this situation is less, and eventually it gradually tends to be none.

At this time, these people may have different opinions, but here, they all agree on one thing: so many of us are not here for temporary food and clothing, but for the well-being of future generations.

When the secret letters were circulated one by one, everyone understood what happened on both sides of the Yellow River in the east during this time.

Hebei Province, the whole territory fell.

With the elite of Shandong Provincial Government and tens of thousands of elite government soldiers who were urgently transferred, under the command of a young general named Lu Zhang, they defeated the Northern Army several times, and fought three consecutive battles with the White Horse Elite Cavalry of Yuhuating and the Iron Harrier Cavalry of Yue Lingjiang. With a tired body, he galloped to the aid of hundreds of miles in five days, and finally fought head-on under the siege of Murong City's Heifu Capital, and was defeated by the Black Floating Capital. The defeated army crossed the river in a hurry, losing all the war horses, grain and grass, Murong Cheng forcibly crossed the river, encountered an ambush, and several battles were unfavorable, so he retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River and waited for an opportunity to go south.

It's already mid-August.

This means that at the beginning of August, the Yan people and the rebels had already pocketed the entire territory of Hebei Province.

"This Lu Zhang is a genius of the Lu family."

Xie Shence sighed.

Ren Zhongxing was a little stunned and said: "Back then, the Shandong Taoist family crusaded against the West Wind Leader, and the nominal leader was the general of the government, but in fact, it was this direct son of the Lu family who planned behind the scenes. This person is extremely intelligent, but he is very low-key on weekdays, almost staying at home, he likes military books the most, and he admires the person the most.

"Who is it?"

"Xie Shuai."

Xie Shence was stunned, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. When he was a child, he was the most thick-skinned and shameless uncle, and in the second half of his life, he was sincerely respected by his most beloved nephew, but he was worshiped early by a foreign surname who can be called an inheritable mantle.

This kind of person or thing that I don't value others and regard as treasures, and I keep doing this, maybe it's nothing. But it is important to remember that you only realize his preciousness when he is about to die. Before, I knew that he was indeed precious, but he didn't cherish it.

Ren Zhongxing obviously worked the direct son of the Lu family, and then told the story: "When he was eight years old, he was invincible with his fellow clansmen in chess, and the famous men of Shandong Province invited him to fight several times, or avoided it, and when he saw it, he raised a large number of swords, and everyone who came was defeated, and then there was no face to hold the son at that time, there was a young man of the Gu family in the south of the river, and there was a good son of the Lu family in the south of the river, and the good deeds called it 'Jiang has Gu and the river has Lu', and the evaluation is very high."

Xie Shence has heard of this, the source is a chat with Gu Shunxing, but Gu Shunxing is obviously not familiar with this Lu Jiajia son, except for knowing that someone in Shandong Province can be famous with him early, he doesn't know anything else.

In fact, it's no wonder that Gu Shunxing doesn't know, one is in business and talent, and the other is obsessed with the art of war, especially good at chess, the two have no intersection at all, and they can't talk about communication, let alone contact.

These two people who have nothing to do with each other are the two smartest people recognized by Shandong Dao and Huaiyang Dao.

In troubled times, there must be heroes, and Shandong Province was forced by the Yan people and the rebels of the Northern Army, so Lu Zhang stepped forward.

It's just that the result is not as happy as it is said in the heroic saga.

However, even so, Lu Zhang collected his troops and returned to Shandong Province, and he also became a pivotal figure in Shandong Province.

So when the whole territory of Hebei Province fell, the world was in an uproar, and the Great Jin Dynasty trembled, Lu Zhang, like the crown prince, became the last comfort in the hearts of the Jin people.

Although after all, it is not without the power of a war.

The story of Lu Zhang's tens of thousands of soldiers fighting against the famous generals of the Northern Army, Yuhuating and Yue Lingjiang, and fighting fiercely with Murong Cheng, is naturally not as ups and downs as the story that was quickly edited into a storyteller, but it is by no means as recorded in the general newspaper.

Xie Shence was amazed that this young man, who was younger than himself, was able to forcibly hold on for half a month in a situation of inevitable defeat, and in a way that was almost suicidal, Yan Ren and Sima Bi were frightened, and finally stopped the pace of going south.

This is a historic battle, which will be recorded in the annals of history, in terms of the last 30 years, I am afraid that it will be second only to Hangu Pass and Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, and its status is one line higher than that of the crown prince in the southwest.

After all, the Song people and the Yan people cannot be compared. And the victory or defeat in the northern battlefield is also heavier.

Therefore, as the commander of this battle, the name Lu Zhang, in a short period of time, will surely become the most deafening name of the Great Jin.

The so-called famous Jinghua is famous all over the world, nothing more.

Xie Shence listened to Ren Zhongxing's words, smiled and said, "Now, I'm afraid this is going to change." ”

There is helplessness and some sighs in these words.

I am only in my twenties, is it already about to become the front wave, and be slapped on the beach by the back wave?

Some people here know that Jiang Yougu's Gu, that Gu family young man, is the person Xie Shence values very much.

No one spoke at the moment, Xie Shence waited for a while and said, "Shandong Dao, I'm afraid I can't hold it." ”

As soon as these words came out, some people were calm, and some people were shocked.

A month later, in mid-September, a holy decree from the Jin capital proclaimed to the world shocked people again.

Emperor Jin, on September 16 of the twelfth year of Zhenglong, drove a personal expedition.

In Jindu, shortly after this decree was issued, the whole city was boiling.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old scoundrels took to the streets, carrying bricks and shiny machetes, and asked to join the army.

Some children of the family gathered a large number of Zhuang Han generals and asked to go on the expedition at their own expense.

There is an old man in the age of the sixtieth year, trembling and trembling with the support of the old servant, asking to join the army.

There were also countless old soldiers, either lame, or with broken hands, or blind in one eye, or ruined faces, turning out their worn armor and rusty swords, and silently lined up in the long street.

Emperor Jin walked on such a street.

He was now dressed in civilian clothes, his hair was casually raised, and he was dressed in coarse cloth, and a woman with a basket of vegetables walked beside him.

This woman is the queen mother who was picked up from the cold palace by Emperor Jin.

The couple is inconspicuous on the long street, which is ten times more noisy than before, and belongs to the kind of people who will be looked at a few times, but will never be remembered by bad people because of their appearance.

Emperor Jin looked at the angry crowd, stretched out a hand, held the little arm of the queen mother carrying the vegetable basket, and said: "In my world, there are still hot-blooded people after all. ”

The queen smiled but did not speak, her face was faintly proud and obsessed. It seems that she has never been beaten into the cold palace by Emperor Jin, nor has she ever been slandered by the Queen Mother who is sick in bed and can no longer move.

Emperor Jin looked at the ruffian hooligan who ran past him with a sharp knife and asked, "I will drive the royal expedition in person, queen, look, can this popular will be used?" ”

The Queen nodded.

Emperor Jin looked at the scholars who raised their arms and shouted, listened to the prose poems shouted out of their mouths, and asked: "I will drive the royal expedition in person, queen, look, can I use the heart of a scholar?" ”

The Queen nodded.

Emperor Jin's eyes crossed the crowd, looked at the group of old and disabled veterans, and asked: "I will drive the imperial expedition in person, queen, look, can this military heart be used?" ”

The queen still nodded.

So at the beginning of October, in just half a month, 10,000 Imperial Forest Army and 20,000 Jinyang Daofu soldiers set off in Jindu and pointed directly at the Yellow River

On the day of Emperor Jin's personal expedition, the Jin capital was like an earthquake for a whole day.

Such a movement made even the black building with the rarest people in the west of the city faintly feel the earthquake.

In the innermost room of the Imperial Prison, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man was reading the "Records of the Historians" at his desk, waving his hand to sweep away the falling smoke and dust, looking up at the window with a triple iron gate leading to the ground, and said something that his youngest son had said but he didn't like.

“…… Look for trouble. ”
