Wang Dou shouted: "The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the governors are mighty, and the army is mighty!!; …… r......" Wang Dou clasped his fists and saluted: "Everything is subject to the assignment of Governor Lu and Yang Junmen." ”

Yang Guozhu said in a deep voice: "Governor, General Wang transports grain for thousands of miles, and the officers and soldiers of his headquarters naturally need to keep enough grain and grass for a month first, and most of the meat should also be under his command." ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded slowly, Yang Guozhu's proposal was reasonable, Wang Pu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since this should be the case, this governor will divide these grains and grass, and distribute them fairly, so that they will not shorten the food, clothing, and rations for the soldiers." "Divide the grain, divide the grain."

There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the three towns of Xuanda, and the camp set up can be said to be huge, and there is a feeling that you can't see the edge. But at this time, the huge camp was full of laughter, and the generals in charge of grain and grass in each town led the generals in their own battalions to happily carry back bags of grain and rice.

After being hungry for so long, I finally got to this day and I could have a full meal. There is also a large amount of horse meat, and you can eat it with pleasure today. "Come on, come on, brother, you're relieved."

Zhong Tiaoyang was in charge of the grain and grass materials in the army, and he commanded the soldiers under his command to constantly pull the grain and grass in the chariots and horses. Although the food and grass in their own army are constantly decreasing, the light soldiers under their command are still high-spirited, looking at those grateful friendly troops, their hearts are full of superiority.

Wang Doujun's lieutenant generals all knew that the adults had hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion and other places, and when they arrived in these places, everyone would definitely not go hungry. On the one hand, everyone sighed that the general's vision was clear, and the prophet was uncertain, and he hoarded so much food early, so that the army did not have to worry about hunger and cold.

Looking at the endless stream of densely packed soldiers who were feeding and carrying grain, and the elated look on their faces, Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "I'm ashamed, I have followed this governor for so long, and the soldiers have only been able to have a full meal today." ”

At this time, it was almost noon, and after the officers and men returned from carrying the grain, they immediately couldn't wait to make a fire to make food, and the smoke of cooking rose from all over the camp, and the smell of food and meat wafted in the wind.

Lu Xiangsheng laughed and sat down, his eyes blazing and looking around at everyone: "Now that our army has enough grain and grass, when the soldiers recuperate, the ten thousand soldiers of our army will donate blood and swear to fight the main force of slaves and attack the enemy." Everyone shouted in unison: "Kill the enemy to serve the country, and hit the enemy." Wang Dou also roared a few times with the crowd, and then sat down.

However, behind the roar of his eyes, there was a faint difference. After all, the Qing army is powerful and prestigious, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and the Qing soldiers are head-to-head, and they are afraid that the generals of Xuanda will have opinions behind them.

Moreover, at this time, the bureaucracy of the generals is becoming more and more obvious, and in the face of strong enemies, many people have the intention of preserving their strength. Even Hu Dawei, a figure like Yang Guozhu, who is loyal and righteous in history, inevitably has such thoughts. The control of these generals and leading civilian officials has been declining, and Lu Xiangsheng's prestige in Xuanda actually has this problem. What's more, more than half of his supervising battalion was taken out by Chen Xinjia, and the remaining hundreds of Tianwei troops were the weakest among the more than 10,000 people

Sure enough, Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Town, quickly got up and said: "Governor, the slaves and thieves are powerful, and compared with the slaves, my more than 10,000 soldiers are still stronger than the weaker, and the decisive battle with the slaves at this time is still a little early?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, it is true that he can only be motivated by loyalty to the general soldiers of various towns now, but he does not dare to be too harsh, for fear of causing unexpected changes.

He said gently: "General soldier Wang, the thieves are ravaging all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the people have long hoped that Wang Shi will hang upside down, frustrate the fierce front, and end the suffering of this captivity and burning scourge. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, we should not hesitate to die to repay the country's kindness, how can we be afraid of the great strength of the captives and dare not speak of war? ”

He glanced at Wang Dou: "General Wang's great luck has proved that my soldiers only need to be full of the heart of serving the country, and they can also suffer heavy defeats with the captives, and they are not terrible." Wang Pu laughed dryly and sat down with a somewhat sneering expression.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were silent, and Lu Xiangsheng nodded to Wang Dou with some expectation: "General Wang, what do you think?" ”

The generals in the tent, except for the three general soldiers, Wang Dou was named, which shows Lu Xiangsheng's importance and expectations for Wang Dou. Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's voice, all eyes were on Wang Dou (). Wang Dou stood up and arched his hand: "Governor, there will be a word in the end, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Wang, please speak." ”

Wang Dou said: "As Wang Junmen said, the captives are powerful, and I declare that the official army is hungry and tired for a long time" At this time, it is indeed too early to say a decisive battle with the slaves. If we send more sentry cavalry to find out where there is a small group of enemy troops, we will announce that more than 10,000 soldiers will attack with thunder, and one side can get rid of the pain of harassment, and the other side can also train the army. When the soldiers are recuperated, there will be no more fearless-,c, so that the army of slaves can be found to fight. ”

As soon as Wang Dou's words were finished, Wang Pu applauded: "Wonderful, what General Wang said is very reasonable, at a young age, he has the demeanor of a famous general, rare, rare." Wang Dou gave him a thumbs up, with a look of great admiration on his face.

Yang Guozhu glanced at him, and also got up and said solemnly: "Governor, the last general also thinks that what General Wang said is serious, I only have more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and I am hungry and tired for a long time. ”

Everyone in the tent said so, especially Wang Dou, who had won two great victories, also agreed that it was better to be steady, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, he pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Okay, let the soldiers rest for a few days, the sentry station heard that there is a group of slaves and thieves in Qingdu County, and the number of them is only thousands, and after three days, our army will move to Qingdu and eliminate all the slaves." Speaking of this, he slammed his palm on the case and snapped loudly.

Hearing that there were only a few thousand Qing soldiers there, Wang Pu put his mind at ease, he announced more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and there were fierce generals like Wang Dou, what was there to be afraid of? He shouted first: "When you saddle down with the governor, kill the thief and make meritorious service, and serve the court." ”

Everyone in the tent roared one after another, seeing that the army's heart was available, Lu Xiangsheng was very happy, he was about to say something, and suddenly a personal guard rushed into the tent and reported a few words to him.

Lu Xiangsheng stood up in surprise: "The envoy of the Jingshi is coming, and there is an imperial decree to bring it?" ”

Everyone in the tent was alarmed, and Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly tidied up his clothes and led the generals out of the tent to greet him. Before everyone walked out of the tent, they heard a shrill voice outside: "The holy decree has arrived, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu, Wang Dou has received the decree!" ”s！
