As soon as Zhang Zhang saw Lu Xiangsheng dragging his sick body to the military conference hall, he immediately walked up quickly, and said as he walked: "Why is Mr. Jiutai here?" Mr. is recovering from a serious injury, and he still needs to be slowly recuperated! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed gratitude, and his eyes suddenly became sour, and he almost fell into tears.

Zhang Li calls himself a name, which is really a very honorific title. Previously, Jingxi was defeated, and Shoufu Wen Tiren threw the black cauldron to himself, which was originally nothing unusual, after all, the Tianxiong Army was finally wiped out.

However, the imperial court did not kill itself, but only "dismissed from office and never used" and hastily settled the matter - in private, he knew that if he could save his life, it must be that tension had gone through the relationship.

Now, he is no longer an important minister of the court, but just a commoner, how can Zhang Zhang actually call himself his name? ……

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was a little excited, Zhang Li faintly guessed his thoughts, and then said: "Mr. Jiutai has been a staff officer of our regiment mountain army since today, and he is located in Gao Yuanliangqiping!" ”

The general was amazed, and soon let out a sound of surprise. Everyone doesn't know what the official position of the "staff officer" is, but the last sentence "the position is on par with Gao Yuanliang", this is amazing!

Gao Yuanliang is the number two person in the Tuanshan Army, although Lu Xiangsheng said that his official position was very great before, but now he has been reduced to a civilian position, and he will never be used, which is equivalent to dooming Buyi to old age - Lord Zhang actually values him so much......

Lu Xiangsheng looked shocked and lost his voice: "Zhang ...... Lord Zhang, this ...... How does this work? ”

Zhang Zhang smiled and walked in front of Lu Xiangsheng. Suddenly, he bowed down and said loudly: "Mr. Jiutai has been wronged in vain...... Alas. In this case, I hope that Mr. will help me. To save the world! ”

Lu Xiangsheng is not a stupid person, and through his careful observation during the period after waking up, he also vaguely guessed Zhang Li's thoughts. Originally, this was a great rebellion, and it was absolutely unacceptable to him before.

Yes, Lu Xiangsheng before the Battle of Shijingshan was like that. But from the moment the Tianxiong Army was completely annihilated, he was already very disappointed in the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen. However, as his younger brother Lu Xiangjin often said, "The living soul is innocent" - the court has no way, what is the fault of the people?

Lu Xiangsheng's qi and blood have not yet recovered. His face was originally a little pale. But now that he gradually got a little flushed, he broke away from Lu Xiangjin, who was supporting him, bowed to the tension, and said slowly in an extremely firm tone: "There is no way in the country, and it will not change until death - Xiangsheng has passed the death festival, and there is no longer any fetters to the court - I am willing to follow Lord Zhang in the future!" ”

As soon as Zhang Zhang heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he hurriedly welcomed Lu Xiangsheng to the first position on the right hand side of the main seat and let him do it.

The ancients respected the left. For example, the left attendant of the ministry is a little bit larger than the official position of the right attendant of the ministry. For a long time, Gao Yuanliang was the first chair on his left hand under the tension and handsome position, and the first chair on the right was vacant, because no one dared to sit side by side with Gao Yuanliang.

Now Zhang Zhang arranged Lu Xiangsheng in this position. It is tied with Gao Yuanliang, but just a little lower.

Because Zhang Zhang often mentions Lu Xiangsheng in front of everyone, he always praises him for his immortal talent. And loyalty to the country can show the sun and the moon. So the generals of the Tuanshan Army quickly calmed down from the initial surprise, indeed. Master Zhang values Lu Xiangsheng so much, so arranging for him to sit in that position is also a proper meaning.

Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly humbled and insisted, and finally Lu Xiangsheng had to give up.

After Zhang Li arranged Lu Xiangsheng's seat, he immediately discussed the current situation with the generals.

Zhang Li glanced at everyone and said slowly: "The Jiliao army is surrounded by Tartars in Shunyi, what do you think?" How should my regimental army behave? ”

Gao Yuanliang, Yi Ze, Mu Tou and others all looked at each other, obviously it was a very dangerous thing to go to relieve the siege of the Jiliao army. It can be said that the hope of success is extremely slim.

These days of successive battles, the armaments and materials of the Tuanshan Army have been depleted extremely quickly, and there are not many lead bullets and flowering bullets left, even if they want to confront the Tartars head-on, they have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

Although the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal has some inventory, it is limited by capacity, and the supply speed still cannot keep up with the consumption rate.

What's more, after the last two battles of the Tuanshan Army, there are not many soldiers who have been damaged, but many of them have been wounded, and it will take some time to recover from them.

Zhang Li saw Lu Xiangsheng bow his head and remain silent, obviously he has experienced a drastic change from a court official to a cloth cloth in a short period of time, and the whole person still needs time to adapt. Besides, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know much about the situation of the Tuanshan Army, so it was normal for him to remain silent.

"My lord, Shunyi is currently a pit, and it just so happens that the Tartars can surround the point to help, and we must not run headlong into it!" Gao Yuanliang thought for a while before speaking.

Wood, Izawa and the others also agreed with Gao Yuanliang's opinion, Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, and his eyes deepened.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhang made a final decision: "Everyone go down and get ready, and the official will formulate a strategy when I go back——"

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "No matter what happens to the Jiliao army, it is my Ming army, and I will find a way to solve the siege of Shunyi." Before we can do that, we need to get more benefits! ”

The so-called "benefits" in Zhang Li's mouth, everyone understands, naturally it is the imperial court......

Lu Xiangsheng also had a ripple in his heart at this moment, was he not mature enough to be a person and do things before? Well, Zhang Li is young, and he can lead the Tuan Shan Army so well, which is indeed outstanding. In this dark era, it is not bad that a "foolish" person like himself has not been calculated to death......

The autumn of Chongzhen's sixth year came obviously, only in September, and the whole city of Beijing was full of autumn wind. Martial law in Jingshi has not been lifted, and there are only two hours a day, noon and no hour, that is, roughly equal to the four hours from 11 o'clock to 15 o'clock in the later generations, and the people are allowed to leave their homes to buy some daily necessities.

Now the supply of the Jingshi is all dependent on stocks, but fortunately, the food and materials at the feet of the Son of Heaven were relatively hoarded before, but now they have begun to be in a hurry. The price of grain from Shanxi, Henan and other places was ten times higher than before, but the people in the capital still had to accept it, after all, it was wartime.

The supply of the emperor and his ministers was not affected in the slightest, and the Jin merchants did not dare to trade directly with the Tartars for the time being, but transporting grain into Beijing was a matter of worrying for the country. Naturally, civil officials at all levels have never had to buy grain, and naturally there are Jin merchants and commercial houses who will give the materials with both hands and do not take a penny.
