Chapter Eighty-Four: Difficult to Decide

Lu Dalin's hands and feet were cold, and his hand holding the secret order trembled slightly, Rao was a long-standing battle, and it was difficult for his mind to be disturbed by external objects, but when he saw the secret order signed by Xiao Yuanshan in his hand, he was still shocked, fearful, and uneasy, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

Shen Mingchen looked at the restless Lu Dalin with a calm demeanor, quietly waiting for Lu Dalin's decision, he was not afraid that Lu Dalin would not obey his orders, because he still had another order in his arms, that is, let him temporarily take command of the whole army, 15,000 cavalry troops, five battalions, three battalions are the generals Xiao Yuanshan's cronies, if Lu Dalin disobeys, he will gather all the officers, put Lu Dalin under house arrest, get the command of the whole army, and then carry out Xiao Yuanshan's orders, of course, it is best for Lu Dalin to obey the order, Shen Mingchen knows his own affairs, It is a strength to let yourself make suggestions, but it is difficult for a strong man to let himself command the battle, and it is definitely not as good as Lu Dalin's command, with his command, Li Qing will not be able to escape.

"Mr. Shen, just defeated the barbarians, Li Qing is the biggest hero, we did this, aren't we?" Lu Dalin looked at Shen Mingchen with a little hope, although he knew that this was just a matter of begging for fish.

Shen Mingchen smiled, Lu Dalin did not explicitly refuse, this is a good signal, Xiao Yuanshan still trusts Lu Dalin, after all, although Lu Dalin is an old man in Dingzhou and has been in Dingzhou longer than him, he was promoted step by step in his office, and he has the grace of knowing him.

"After completing the combat mission, the whole army went to Fuyuan to cooperate with the Chinese army to encircle and suppress Li Qing's Changsheng battalion, leaving no one behind." Of course Lu Dalin knows Xiao Yuanshan's handwriting, the black font is so dazzling in Lu Dalin's opinion, just after the big victory, he killed the heroes and excluded dissidents, this Da Chu, what is going on? Lu Dalin's heart tingled.

"Kill Li Qing? This Li Qing is Li's brother, Xiao Shuai is doing this, isn't he afraid that Li Xiao will turn against him? Lu Dalin asked.

Shen Mingchen shook his head, "In this battle in Dingzhou, it is inevitable that there will be some damage, and it is inevitable that Counselor Li will resist the tens of thousands of troops of Yan Bulu alone with the strength of one battalion, although he tried his best to complete the combat mission, but he was seriously injured and died, and the entire Changsheng battalion was wiped out, which is inevitable." Presumably, there will be no big disagreement between the DPRK and the Chinese government, and even if the Li family is dissatisfied, as long as they make compensation in other aspects, they can offset the impact of this matter. Compared with the harm caused by Li Qing in Dingzhou, the Xiao Fang family is also willing to pay this price. ”

After a pause, Shen Mingchen continued: "Li Qing is not valued by the defendant in the Li family, he is just regarded as an idle man, if he can reap enough benefits in other aspects, I am sure they will not make a big backlash on this matter." This is also the reason why Xiao Shuai dared to do it. ”

Lu Dabing was awe-inspiring in his heart, after all, he was a general who grew up as a civilian, and the intrigue between these wealthy families was greatly beyond his imagination, and his cold-bloodedness and cruelty made him chill all over his body.

"Li Shenjiang is a rare general, from this battle has been fully demonstrated, whether it is from the long-term strategic overall situation, or tactical flexibility, will be our Dingzhou to fight against the barbarian strong support, this year Bayar is powerless to Dongkou, but next year, later, we do this, will only make Bayar smile crookedly." Lu Dabing sat down on the chair weakly and muttered.

Shen Mingchen smiled coldly, "The higher this talent, the greater the danger to Dingzhou, General Lu, one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, can you imagine that if Li Qing is allowed to grow up, Dingzhou in the future will fall into a civil war first, at this time, I am afraid that Bayar will be happier, in order to eliminate this possibility in the bud, there is no better opportunity than now, General Lu, have you decided?" ”

Lu Dalin closed his eyes, he was not a rookie, he naturally understood in his heart that Xiao Yuanshan must have a backhand to deal with him, if he didn't agree, he would definitely be the first to face cleansing. What can I do?

"I understand, Mr. Shen, you let me think about how to be foolproof, you go back first, I want to be quiet." Lu Dalin said weakly.

Shen Mingchen stood up with a smile, "Okay, then I won't bother General Lu, I hope General Lu will start the arrangement earlier, after all, we still have to explain the form to those generals, so that everyone can work together, tomorrow, Xiao Shuai will take the two wings of the Chinese army to start marching towards Fuyuan, in terms of timing, we must cooperate well." ”

Lu Dalin walked around in the big tent irritably, his heart was bored, he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl, vent the pain in his heart, as a native of Dingzhou, he kept the barbarians out of the pass, and it was his ideal to ensure that the people of Dingzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, but he was only a civilian background, in the current Dachu, it was even more difficult to get ahead, if he was a son of a family, then with his military merits, he would have been alone for a long time, not a mere deputy general, or a deputy general who was overhead.

He had to admit what Shen Mingchen said, if Li Qing really grows stronger, then the Li Xiao family will inevitably make a big fight in Dingzhou, the two families fight, the barbarians will be the direct gainers, and the people of Dingzhou will be the ultimate victims, perhaps, while Li Qing's strength is the weakest now, it is the best time to eliminate him, and the danger that Dingzhou may suffer can be minimized.

Lu Dalin stood abruptly, the anger in his heart was still irrepressible, why, why can't you work together? Suddenly pulled out the knife, slashed it down, cut the chair that Shen Mingchen had just sat on in two, and let out a long breath, and the injustice in his heart seemed to be loosened a lot with this knife.

General Li, I'm sorry, Lu Dalin said silently in his heart, for the sake of Dingzhou, I can only do this, although you have made great contributions to the people of Dingzhou, you are even more kind to my Lu family, if it were not for you, Lu Dabing would definitely have died in Fuyuan, but now, I can only take revenge.

Returning to his seat, Lu Dalin closed his eyes and began to think about what to do tomorrow in exchange for the greatest success at the lowest cost, he didn't dare to underestimate Li Qing, he knew in his heart that even if Li Qing was only left with the remnants of the defeated army, he could poke a big hole in the sky, if Li Qing was allowed to escape, it would be even more harmful, and the Li Xiao family would inevitably go to war, and he would become the sinner of Da Chu.

"Big brother, are you asleep?" Outside the tent, there was a gentle greeting from Lu Dabing.

Lu Dalin was irritable in his heart, and when he heard that his younger brother was coming to find him at this time, he was even more unhappy, and shouted angrily: "Get out." Don't bother me. ”

Hearing the roll, Lu Dabing instead of running away as usual, he lifted the curtain and strode in, "Brother, what's wrong with you, after the big victory, you should be happy, how many years, we have never been so happy as now!" ”

Lu Dalin looked at Lu Dabing, who was a little too excited, and shook his head, this younger brother is a good fighter, but when it comes to scheming, he is really a stupid man.

With a heavy heart, he shook his head, "You don't know, alas, I don't even know what to do now!" ”

Seeing his brother's preoccupied look, Lu Dabing said softly: "I really let him say it, you really look like this now." Lu Dabing's voice was very low, but when Lu Dalin heard it in his ears, it was like thunder, and he jumped up all of a sudden, "What did you say?" What were you just talking about? Lu Dabing was startled, looking at his brother's beard and hair, and his nervous face, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Dalin grabbed Lu Dabing, "What did you just say, who said it?" Yes! "It's all over the place.

Lu Dabing said loudly: "Big brother, I have a person there, he said that my brother must be restless and restless now, I don't believe it, so I made a bet with him and brought him to see my brother, but I didn't expect this to be the case." ”

Lu Da stared at Lu Dabing for a moment, and suddenly let go of his hand, "What about others?" ”

The curtain was lifted again, and a clear voice smiled: "General Lu, you lost, don't forget to go back to Dingzhou and invite me to Taoranju." ”

Lu Dalin's eyes widened, and the person who came was the chief strategist in Li Qingying, Shang Haibo.

With a choking sound, the knife in Lu Dalin's waist was unsheathed and raised high, Lu Dabing was startled, and grabbed the eldest brother's hand, "Big brother, you are crazy, this is Mr. Shang, a subordinate of General Li Qing." ”

Shang Haibo laughed, Shi Shiran walked to Lu Dalin's side, and said softly: "The general is calm and don't be dry, Shang is a scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, and the general wants to kill Shang without much effort, but Shang is here, but he is here to solve the general's doubts, why don't the general let Shang finish speaking!" ”

Lu Dalin was silent for a long time, put his knife into the sheath, and said to the stunned Lu Dabing: "You go out, keep me at the door of the tent, no one is allowed to approach my big tent." ”

Lu Dabing looked at the eldest brother, and then at Shang Haibo, who had a relaxed face, and turned around and walked out in a daze, "What are you doing?" Seeing that the two of them seem to have a tacit understanding, but he, the person who came with Shang Haibo, is kept in the dark, and he doesn't know what they are talking about.
